Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

110: Bodhi Blood JadeIn the valley, Qin Jiang descended rapidly, reaching the bottom in just a few breaths.

Looking around, there were only low-lying flowers and plants, with just a few old trees rooted and intertwined.

He looked towards a certain spot at the edge of the valley floor, where there was a cave. A powerful aura emanated from within, belonging to the earlier Mountain Lord, Wang Wu.

Besides that, he also sensed an extremely intense energy contained within the cave, rapidly growing stronger!

He strode forward, heading towards the cave entrance.

Roar—!

Before he could even get close, a tiger’s roar came from within the cave, and a layer of crimson flames erupted, surging out from the cave and instantly spreading throughout the entire valley.

The flames swept through the valley but, strangely, caused no damage.

Instead, the numerous flowers and plants in the valley began to grow wildly under the scorching blood flames. Their leaves also turned crimson, sprouting thorns and new leaves like blades.

At the tips of the thorns and the edges of the leaves, a demonic black-purple color appeared, glowing with a faint cold light.

In the blink of an eye, the entire valley turned blood-red, faintly tinged with black-purple.

Roar—!

Another tiger’s roar, and a massive black shadow burst out from the cave. It was a golden-furred giant tiger, its body burning with crimson flames, and its golden fur was rapidly turning blood-red.

Roar—!

In just a blink, all the giant tiger’s fur turned blood-red. It stood its ground, roaring at the sky, its terrifying might scaring away the birds, and evennoob, who was hiding outside the valley, couldn’t stop trembling.

It’s too terrifying, this Mountain Lord is so scary.

She quickly took out a ginseng and ate it, only then slightly recovering. She only dared to peek out half her head to observe the situation at the bottom of the valley.

At the bottom of the valley, Qin Jiang looked at the crimson giant tiger before him. Its aura was sinister and extremely chaotic, but it still contained some of the original Mountain Lord Wang Wu’s aura.

However, the current Wang Wu clearly had no self-awareness. And those crimson eyes were the symbol of an Eye Fiend.

Roar~

The blood tiger walked to the cave entrance and lay down, letting out a soft growl, clearly showing submission.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of metal clashing came from inside the cave.

Qin Jiang looked over; crimson smoke flowed out, like thick blood, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.

A humanoid figure, holding a long-handled saber, emerged from the cave. Its body was two meters tall, its eyes were piercing blood-red, and its entire body was enveloped in gray-green armor, like an iron man.

Qin Jiang’s eyes narrowed slightly. An Eye Fiend, an Eye Fiend comparable to a twelfth-tier Secret Martial Artist.

The armored Eye Fiend leaped directly onto the tiger’s back, its saber drawing a diagonal line and resting at its right side.

”I am the Captain of the Great Huai Imperial Guard! You are not from Great Huai! You shall die!”

A sharp voice echoed through the valley, and all the crimson plants trembled.

It squeezed its legs sharply, and the giant tiger beneath it instantly leaped out, charging towards Qin Jiang.

Boom—!

Surging black Devilish Qi suddenly erupted, but the armored Eye Fiend did not retreat in the slightest, rushing straight into the Devilish Qi. At the same time, it raised its saber, ready to cleave down.

Whoosh—!

The next moment, a hand covered in black scales emerged from the Devilish Qi, clawing directly at the armored Eye Fiend’s face.

The armored Eye Fiend’s eyes glowed fiercely with blood-light. It brought its saber down with a mighty cleave, carrying terrifying crimson light.

Clang!

The saber struck directly on the Dragon claw, then was shattered by the immenseRecoil Force. The broken blade spun and directly embedded itself into the armored Eye Fiend’s glabella.

The Dragon claw’s speed did not decrease. It pressed on the end of the broken blade, forcefully driving the entire blade into the armored Eye Fiend’s head.

Then, its five fingers exerted force, and the hard armor instantly deformed. With a ’puff’, the Eye Fiend’s head exploded.

After crushing its head, the Dragon claw continued to press down, directly smashing the armored Eye Fiend’s left shoulder, and at the same time, its heart was also crushed.

Almost at the moment its heart shattered, all the crimson plants in the valley stopped trembling, then withered, their crimson color gradually fading.

Bang!

The crimson giant tiger fell to the ground with a heavy thud, the crimson color on its body dissipating like smoke.

And the armored Eye Fiend’s body also turned to black ash and scattered with the wind.

As the Devilish Qi dispersed, Qin Jiang stood quietly in front of the giant tiger.

”It’s... it’s you.”

Mountain Lord Wang Wu regained consciousness and recognized Qin Jiang’s face.

”I didn’t expect it to be you. How unlucky.”

”You can close your eyes,” Qin Jiang said.

Wang Wu weakly twitched his whiskers. He no longer had the strength to even make an expression.

”I will bury you here. I won’t sell your body. Consider it my payment for taking the exotic fruit,” Qin Jiang said.

”Mountain Lord! Mountain Lord!”

noob shouted as she leaped down from above the valley, quickly running to the giant tiger.

”What’s wrong, Mountain Lord! Don’t die! I have ginseng! Eat it quickly!”

noob took out a palm-sized pure white ginseng and stuffed it into Wang Wu’s mouth, then pinched Wang Wu’s chin and nose, forcing him to chew.

Wang Wu’s pupils brightened slightly, and his body gradually shrunk, transforming into a human form.

However, compared to his previous majestic middle-aged appearance, Wang Wu now looked like a child.

He looked at Qin Jiang, ”Uh, Brother Dragon, our Golden Tiger clan has strong vitality, and there’s more than one of those exotic fruits. Give me one, and I can still live.”

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly, ”Understood.”

With that, he walked straight into the cave. After passing through a dozen meters of passage, he arrived at a slightly more spacious area.

There was nothing displayed, only a crimson vine rooted in the corner of the wall, bearing five blood-red, jade-like fruits.

Indeed, it was a blood bodhi!

His eyes lit up with joy. He had once read records of this legendary treasure, a divine object that could allow one to be reborn!

His fingertip moved, plucking a fruit. He casually picked one up and took a bite, and immediately, a pure source of Qi surged throughout his body.

Moreover, this source of Qi not only increased his total Qi, but the unique Qi contained within it was also strengthening his Physical Body!

Truly a divine object! One must know that his Physical Body had already reached a level of strength that even he himself didn’t know how formidable it was.

Like the Eye Fiend earlier, even though it was comparable to a twelfth-tier Secret Martial Artist, it was still no match for him in a single encounter.

It still had an effect on such a powerful Physical Body, which explained whynoob was able to directly achieve the body of a Great Demon after eating just one.

Coming out of the cave, he casually threw two to Wang Wu andnoob, then turned and returned inside the cave.

Looking at the blood bodhi vine before him, a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

He raised his hand and grasped the vine, then pulled it sharply. The developed root system was entirely yanked out, entwined around an armored skeleton.

The style of the armor was identical to that of the previous armored Eye Fiend.

However, Qin Jiang paid no attention to this. He casually pulled apart the root system and found a pigeon-egg-sized blood-red jade bead on the skeleton’s body.

The Bodhi Blood Jade; this was the fundamental source for the blood bodhi to take root and sprout.

No one knew the origin of this item, only that it was a treasure containing a massive amount of Qi.

Black scales emerged, and the hand holding the Bodhi Blood Jade transformed into a Dragon claw. The sharp claw exerted force, rubbing against the blood jade and emitting a piercing sound.

Crack~ Crack, bang!

The blood jade shattered, and before the internal blood flames could erupt, they were immediately swept up and devoured by a surge of Devilish Qi.
