Chapter 2254: Chapter 2252: I’ll Treat You to Fish (Twenty-second Update!)

"Hmph! You all keep talking without acting. If you wait until the toxin of the Poison Dragon Pill disappears, even if you have great skills, you’ll only meet a dead-end fate in this Mangdu Mountain." A cultivator at the Refining Void Peak said coldly.

"Don’t just talk about us! You’re the same! You’re taking the Small Detoxification Pill, and its effect only lasts for a month. I don’t believe you have more than a dozen of them on you!" Another cultivator at the Refining Void Peak said with a sneer.

"Stop arguing! The urgent task at hand is to find a way to break the toxic barrier ahead and capture that black-clad woman! Since we’ve chased her all the way here, let’s stop deceiving and hiding things from each other. We all probably have guessed the identity of the black-clad woman already, so let’s not waste words. Let’s work together to break the toxic barrier ahead, and once we capture her, we’ll share her equally!" A late Void Refining cultivator with two horns on his head said coldly.

Hearing his words, the low-rank True Spirits around fell silent.

When the topic wasn’t brought out in the open, everyone could play dumb. But now that it’s been laid bare, playing dumb no longer makes any sense.

The atmosphere around immediately quieted down.

After a while, the low-rank True Spirit cultivator at the Refining Void Peak who spoke earlier spoke again.

"This fellow cultivator is right! We all know who that black-clad woman is! Now that things have come to this, let’s not hide anything. Although the toxic barrier is extremely dangerous, if we join forces, we can definitely break it! I don’t believe that after taking so many of our attacks, she could set up a super defense before dying!"

"That’s right! I agree with this! Let’s all break it together, and then split the black-clad woman!"

"Alright! I have no objections!"

"Since nobody has any objections, let’s act now to avoid complications later!"

A group of low-rank True Spirits agreed on a plan and didn’t waste any more time. They collectively retreated ten steps back and then exchanged glances, pulling out ancient magical treasures from their waist storage bags, avoiding their Lifebound Magical Treasures.

The toxic barrier before them is extremely poisonous. If their Lifebound Magical Treasures were contaminated, it would be a great loss.

Unlike ordinary magical treasures, Lifebound Magical Treasures require nurturing within the body, using essence to nourish it. The longer it’s nurtured, the more formidable its power becomes.

Once a Lifebound Magical Treasure is chosen in the Golden Core Realm, most stick with it and nurture it indefinitely.

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing each other’s ancient magical treasures, and there was no blame. All shouted together: "Take action!!!"

As their words fell, over two hundred low-rank True Spirits formed hand seals and infused spiritual power into their ancient magical treasures. They directed these treasures towards the toxic barrier.

Boom, boom, boom...

The sky filled with magical treasures, bursting forth strong spiritual light and powerful waves, crashing onto the toxic barrier before them. ℯ

The barrier violently shook under the relentless assault of over two hundred low-rank True Spirits, emitting cracking sounds.

Simultaneously, large amounts of black toxic gas emanated from the barrier, damaging the spiritual nature of any magical treasures it touched and weakening their power.

Fortunately, these are regular magical treasures, not Lifebound or powerful ancient ones, nor transcendent Spiritual Treasures. Even if damaged, the low-rank True Spirits weren’t too heartbroken.

Instead, their hearts lit up as they watched the toxic barrier shake under their attack, with excitement and eagerness to rush in and capture the black-clad woman.

Even getting a piece of her, with all cards spent, would be worth it.

Inside the toxic barrier.

Zhang Xiaohao hugged the black-clad woman, gently stroking her hair with his left hand, while his right hand held a piece of fish, eating heartily.

Of what happened outside, he paid no mind.

Just a bunch of ants. If they were eager to die, he would fulfill their wish shortly.

"Nice! This toxic fish, after grilling, paired with these seasonings and cleaned with white wine, tastes extraordinary!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Huh? Where is this? Is it Hell?" Suddenly, the black-clad woman muttered, opening her eyes.

"Yes! This is Hell, and I am its ruler, your husband!" Zhang Xiaohao replied earnestly.

"Your husband? Why would Hell’s ruler have this name?" The black-clad woman asked in confusion.

"Hahaha---!" Hearing her words, Zhang Xiaohao couldn’t hold back and laughed wildly.

"You’re so funny, I’m dying of laughter! This isn’t Hell, it’s still within Mangdu Mountain, and you’re not dead yet!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

"Are you one of those hateful True Spirits chasing me? I will kill you!" the black-clad woman said coldly, glaring.

With that, she raised her hand to hit Zhang Xiaohao.

Bam!

Before she could raise her hand, a sharp pain came from within her body. It provoked her internal injuries, causing her to fall back into Zhang Xiaohao’s arms, biting her teeth in pain.

"Sigh! Are all women really brainless with big chests? Can’t you just use your brain? If I wanted to kill you, would you still be alive?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"Did you save me?" The black-clad woman asked after pondering.

"What else do you think? Are you slightly touched and want to offer yourself? Rest assured, I won’t mind your ugliness; just nod, and we can get married now!" Zhang Xiaohao teased.

"Hmph! Dream on! In honor of saving me, I’ll protect you from now on. Don’t just stand there, call me big sister! Sister will treat you to fish!" The black-clad woman said, her eyes twinkling.

"The fish was mine from the start, need you to treat me?" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
