Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 172 My elder brother said he wanted to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Uh, Brother Qing... what a coincidence."

Han Li awkwardly walked out through the gap in the passage.

As he swiftly stored the thong-shaped magical artifact into his storage bag, he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Haha, so it's Brother Han. Hmm, that silk magic item you were carrying, radiating a chilling aura, was quite unique."

Qingfeng chuckled and teased.

"Brother, please don't make fun of me. This was given to me by those old devils."

Han Li felt that he was about to lose face.

"Hey, we'll talk later. Let me collect this fire spirit first."

Qingfeng stretched his shoulders.

The fire dragon was born in this lava cave and is the overlord of this place. It has a nascent intelligence and a sense of territory.

"roar!"

The fire dragon's body suddenly straightened, its huge mouth opened wide, revealing a mouthful of fangs burning with flames, and its massive head pounced on Qingfeng again like an arrow released from a bow.

"Big brother, be careful!"

Seeing the fire dragon approaching, Han Li summoned his Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword to help.

"Brother Han, there's no need to interfere. Your technique is wood-based, which it counters."

Qingfeng gestured for Han Li to step aside, and with a single finger, the firebird flying in the air crashed into the fire dragon.

The fire dragon was enormous, and when it was struck by the firebird, Qingfeng easily dodged the dragon's lunge.

Missing its target again, the fire dragon grew even more enraged.

It roared to the sky, and the lava river immediately boiled, with dozens of pillars of fire shooting into the air. The temperature of the entire cave rose several times over in just a few breaths.

The pillars of fire exploded in the air, turning into a rain of fire that covered the entire cave.

Han Li, feeling the scorching heat, gritted his teeth and summoned the Blue Demoness's "thong" again, which hovered in front of him.

There's no other way. My life is more important. What is face? It doesn't matter.

"Since you insist on fighting, I will fight you until you submit."

Qingfeng's muscles bulged again, and a layer of scales similar to those of the fire dragon appeared on his skin.

This is the effect of his "Heavenly Demon Skill" at full power.

Then, under Han Li's shocked gaze, a terrifying demonic flame ignited on Qing Feng's fists.

This demonic flame bursts forth, scorching and corrosive; even divine sense will burn one's soul if it probes into it.

"What kind of demonic fire is Big Brother cultivating? It's so domineering!"

Han Li covered his forehead; he had only just begun to probe, yet a trace of his soul had been burned.

At that moment, the lava river surface suddenly exploded!

The fire dragon's enormous body soared into the sky from the river, its entire body spinning. Its tail, claws, and mouth—every part—transformed into a deadly weapon, attacking Qingfeng.

Qingfeng leaped up and faced the fire dragon head-on.

The dragon and the human collided in the air above the lava cave.

boom--!

The shockwave spread in all directions, shattering the fiery red crystal clusters on the rock face.

The lava on the river surface was whipped into giant waves several meters high.

Even with his fire-repelling robe, white rhinoceros horn pendant, and thong for protection, Han was still forced to retreat repeatedly by the heat wave and had to use his spiritual power to resist it.

Amidst the flames, Qingfeng and the fire dragon were locked in a fierce battle.

The dragon's scales are as hard as iron, and its claws carry immense power when swung.

But Qingfeng was faster and more agile. He not only dodged the fire dragon's attack, but also jumped onto its body and swung his fists, which were wreathed in demonic flames, smashing it down.

With immense force and amplified by demonic flames, each punch left a deep burn mark on the fire dragon's scales.

This fire dragon was, after all, just a fire spirit, not a true demonic beast. Under the suppression of the demonic flames' rank, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Sizzle—!"

"Mortal: The Number One Playboy in the Chaotic Star Sea" is full of classic quotes, come and find resonance.

A hole the size of a bowl was pierced through the dragon's back, and scorching magma gushed out from the wound.

Then it let out a mournful howl, and its massive body plummeted from mid-air, crashing heavily into the lava river, splashing up waves of magma.

The fire dragon struggled to dive back into the riverbed, its nascent consciousness telling it to escape.

However, Qingfeng grabbed his tail and threw him against the cave wall with both arms.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng sent the firebird that had been circling in the air swooping down to peck at the fire dragon.

Soon the fire dragon's spiritual energy began to weaken, and its strength dropped to the early stage of Core Formation.

"receive!"

Qingfeng opened the scroll and took the fire dragon inside. After the firebird cried out, it also transformed into a streak of red light and disappeared into the scroll.

On the scroll, a dragon and a bird are located on either side.

"It's done. Once we get back, we can add the Fire Pearl and other fire-attribute materials, and the Fat Sun Bird Scroll will be upgraded."

Qingfeng put away the scroll, and the "Heavenly Demon Art" and "Mysterious Thunder Demon Flame Technique" on his body also stopped operating.

Using two top-tier techniques simultaneously consumes a significant amount of magical energy.

It is only because his strength is profound, far exceeding that of other cultivators of the same level, that he can withstand such a drain.

However, although the consumption is great, its power is truly astonishing.

In such a short time, besides him, only Wan Tianming, who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, could probably subdue the giant dragon that is a fire spirit, using the Heavenly Net Binding Spirit Technique.

At this moment, Han Li, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, had recovered from his shock.

At this moment, Han Li, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, had recovered from his shock.

"Brother, is your strength already close to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"

Han Li asked.

"Brother Han, you jest. No matter how powerful a Core Formation cultivator is, they are still just a Core Formation cultivator. Even if I use my full strength, I can only protect myself against the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator."

As Qingfeng spoke, he removed several pieces of molten lava from the central stone pillar.

These are all materials for crafting fire-attribute magic weapons, and they are extremely rare.

Upon hearing Qingfeng's words, Han Li's expression turned solemn. He believed that his strength far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level, and that he could even compete with cultivators in the late Core Formation stage.

But according to Qingfeng, even with his strength, he was no match for a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could he escape from Jiyin's clutches?

"Brother Han, don't worry. You'll have a chance to escape once you're inside the inner hall. The Star Palace has already made its move; they're the ones who opened the restrictions on the Mystic Crystal Path and the Lava Path."

A great battle is inevitable, and you will likely be the focus of attention, as they will all need your Blood Jade Spider to retrieve the cauldron.

The righteous path, the demonic path, and the Star Palace will become one.

Qingfeng threw a piece of lava gold stone to Han Li.

"Brother... do you also want to take the cauldron?"

Han Li accepted Jin Shi's gift and put it into his storage bag without any hesitation.

"Of course, I came here on behalf of the Void Heaven Palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for the Blood Jade Spider's eggs decades ago."

Qingfeng didn't hide it from Han Li; the matter couldn't stand scrutiny, so it was better to just say it frankly.

"Brother, what do you need me to do?"

Han Li spoke up.

He didn't care about the Void Heaven Cauldron; as long as he could escape the control of Extreme Yin and survive, that was enough.

"Just go to the inner hall without worry. Ji Yin doesn't know you have two Blood Jade Spiders. Retrieving the cauldron with only one Blood Jade Spider will likely be very slow."

"At that time, the righteous path and the Star Palace will naturally intervene and cause trouble. I will then take the opportunity to kill Ji Yin with the two elders from my sect."

Qingfeng leaped from the stone pillar to Han Li's side, smiling as he patted him on the shoulder.

"Strike...strike and kill, Extreme Yin!"

Han Li's eyes widened.

He never expected that his elder brother's plan was not only to take the cauldron, but also to assassinate a Nascent Soul cultivator.
