Tang Dan placed her right hand on Xiao Chen's pulse. After a while, she revealed a strange expression.
"This fellow is quite lucky. To think that he could survive the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's attack."
"He has delicate features and looks quite young."
"I don't know where it came from."
A group of people looked at Xiao Chen and discussed him. They were very curious about him.
"Senior Brother Deng!"
At that moment, the man with the surname Deng felt that something was strange. He walked over from the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's side.
He had a smile on his face. It was clear that he was in a good mood. When he saw the strange expression on Tang Dan's face, he asked, "Senior Sister Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Dan did not let go. She said somewhat uncertainly, "This person's body … his body has dense Demonic Qi. He is severely injured. It looks like he fought with the Heavenly Fox. He must have fought for a long time to leave behind such injuries. Furthermore, he is a bladesman, so it is very likely that … "
The underlying meaning was clear. It was very likely that the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox had died at this person's hands.
Right after the man with the family name Deng spoke, the smile on his face immediately vanished. He said sullenly, "That's impossible. This Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox must have died at the hands of some expert. Furthermore, that expert did not care about the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's corpse at all. He left behind this mess and left in a hurry. "
"Look at this person. No matter how I look at it, he is just a middle-stage Star Venerate. How could he kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?!"
The man with the surname Deng showed a decisive expression, insisting that the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox was definitely not killed by Xiao Chen.
The reason for this was simple.
If it was killed by Xiao Chen, then this Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox would no longer be ownerless.
"I feel that what Senior Brother Deng said makes sense. Even a Holy Venerate would find it hard to kill a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. How could it die at the hands of a Star Venerate?"
"It's an overlord-class ferocious beast, after all. Furthermore, it's the cunning and troublesome Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. It's really impossible."
"Won't we know after waking him up?"
Some people agreed with the man surnamed Deng, while others suggested that they should save Xiao Chen first.
However, it immediately caused another round of debate.
"That's not good, right? If he really did kill him and his character isn't proper, then we'll be caught in our own web."
"That's right. Master has also warned us not to trust others easily when we're outside."
"But I can't just stand by and watch him die."
The group of people argued endlessly, but could not come to a decision in the end, not knowing what to do.
Most importantly, Tang Dan's words had caused this simple matter to become complicated.
Everyone has their own selfish motives.
If Xiao Chen was just an ordinary person, saving his life in passing wouldn't be a big deal at all.
However, if he really killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, it would affect the distribution of benefits. It would be hard to avoid a grudge.
"Let's just kill him with one strike and pretend that he's already dead."
A trace of killing intent flashed across the eyes of the man surnamed Deng. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and stepped forward, looking like he was about to attack.
The others were shocked by Senior Brother Deng's actions, but they didn't refute him.
"Stop!"
Tang Dan's expression changed slightly. She shouted coldly, "What are you doing? He also has the bloodline of the Heaven Dragon. He is of the same race as us. The Heaven Dragon lineage is weak to begin with. How can they kill each other? How can they watch others die? "
As soon as he said this, the others were speechless.
The man surnamed Deng's face was gloomy. He curled his lips, but in the end, he didn't say anything and didn't push the matter further.
However, no one noticed that just now.
A faint red light flashed in the ring on Xiao Chen's finger, disappearing in a flash.
"Let's dissect the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's corpse first. We'll keep its fur, blood, and bones. Let him keep the beast cores. Even if he killed them, it wouldn't be too much for us to take them away. "
The others had no objections to Tang Dan's arrangement. They could all accept it.
Of course, this did not include the man with the surname Deng. He was rather displeased, but Tang Dan had a righteous cause, so he could only endure it for now.
After feeding Xiao Chen a medicinal pill, Tang Dan infused several wisps of true essence into Xiao Chen's body, triggering the circulation of his own true essence.
This way, he could recover faster and was more effective than any medicinal pill.
After doing all this, Tang Dan said, "This person is severely injured. He will not wake up for a month. The two of you, take care of him."
"Alright."
It was clear that Tang Dan held high prestige in this group. No one dared to object to what she said.
"That's all for this experiential training. We'll return immediately. After we return, check this person and see if he joined the Heaven Dragon Palace. "
"However, Senior Sister Tang, we have not completed our mission yet."
"I will explain the mission to Master. Since the Beast Tide twenty years ago, the Flaming Cloud Desert has become exceptionally dangerous. It is not advisable to split up two people to continue taking risks. Their lives are more important than the mission. "
"Oh!"
The group did not hesitate. After dissecting the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's corpse, they returned.
When the man with the surname Deng saw the others hand the beast cores to Tang Dan, displeasure flashed in his eyes.
The Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's beast cores were worth cities and extremely rare.
Late at night:
The man with the surname Deng opened his eyes. When he saw that Tang Dan was already in closed-door cultivation, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The man with the surname Deng stood up and headed for Xiao Chen.
Two Dragon Race cultivators stood guard beside Xiao Chen, chatting softly.
"Senior Sister is really kind. If it were me, I would definitely not save him."
"That's true. One Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's beast core can be exchanged for several True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pills!"
"As long as I have one True Dragon Blood Transformation Pill, my strength will probably increase by twenty percent."
"I heard that the disciples of the other palaces receive True Dragon Blood Transformation Pills as a reward. That is nothing to them."
"Hah, so Senior Sister is right. Our Heaven Dragon bloodline is already weak enough. How can we just watch him die?!"
The man with the surname Deng walked over expressionlessly and said, "Go and rest. I'll guard this person."
When the two heard this, they quickly stood up and said, "Many thanks, Senior Brother Deng. In that case, we will take our leave first."
"Go, then."
After the two left, the man with the surname Deng's expression suddenly turned sullen. As he looked at Xiao Chen, a murderous intent reappeared in his eyes.
Those two earlier did not know how valuable the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's beast core was.
It was not something that could be exchanged for a True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill but a Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill.
"If you die, then so be it. Why are you still breathing?! How meddlesome!"
The man with the surname Deng cautiously looked at Xiao Chen. Then, he bent over and placed his hand on Xiao Chen's pulse.
The man with the surname Deng wanted to shatter Xiao Chen's internal organs and end his lifeforce. He wanted to aggravate Xiao Chen's injuries and make it look like he died of natural causes.
"I'm sorry!"
The man with the surname Deng said sullenly and prepared to make a move.
"What are you doing?"
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly as he looked at the other party.
"You …"
This startled the man with the surname Deng. He had not expected Xiao Chen to wake up so suddenly.
After the shock, the man showed a ferocious expression as he said, "I want you dead!"
However, just as the man was about to use his Veritable Essence Energy to shatter Xiao Chen's heart meridian, he was horrified to discover something.
At some point in time, Xiao Chen had grasped the man's pulse with a flip of his hand.
"Whoosh!"
A weak but incredibly tyrannical strand of Veritable Essence Energy entered the man with the surname Deng's body through the heart meridian.
The man with the surname Deng immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest. He could not help screaming in pain.
This scream sounded exceptionally ear-piercing late at night, startling everyone.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Dan asked with a frown as she led a group of people over.
"He wants to kill me!"
The man with the surname Deng said as he let go and pointed at Xiao Chen.
However, the man with the surname Deng suddenly discovered that Xiao Chen had already closed his eyes at some point in time. Xiao Chen's breathing was very weak, showing no signs of waking up.
"Junior Brother Deng Yun, are you joking?"
"I really did not. He clearly opened his eyes earlier and grasped my heart meridian. I swear!"
Deng Yun found this unbelievable. He pushed Xiao Chen hard and said, "Wake up. Stop pretending to be dead."
"Stop."
Tang Dan quickly stopped Deng Yun. Then, she said sullenly, "Junior Brother Deng, I know that you want to obtain the Heavenly Fox Beast Core to break through your bottleneck. However, there is no need to use such despicable means to ruin your reputation. "
"I'm not. He really wants to kill me!"
Tang Dan looked at Deng Yun coldly. "I think you are the one who wants to kill him. You still have not explained to me why you are here."
"Senior Brother Deng took the initiative to help us take care of this person."
The other two immediately spoke up when they saw that Tang Dan was angry.
"I …"
Deng Yun immediately became speechless, not knowing what to say.
Tang Dan glanced indifferently at Deng Yun and said, "There's no need to explain. This will not happen again. If he really did not kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, I will definitely give you a share of the True Dragon Blood Transformation Pill that I exchange for the Beast Core.
"From now on, I will personally take care of this person."
The commotion came to an end. Deng Yun left with an unsightly expression.
Tang Dan ordered people to carry Xiao Chen to her tent.
"Ka ca!"
After entering the tent, the sword in Tang Dan's hand flashed with azure light.
She pressed it against Xiao Chen's chest at an extremely fast speed and said coldly, "Stop pretending. I know you are awake."
Sword Intent encased Xiao Chen's entire body. As she circulated her Veritable Essence Energy, a faint murderous intent flashed in Tang Dan's eyes.
If Xiao Chen still did not open his eyes, the sword Qi would mince his entire body into shreds when she swung her sword.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. He did not say anything, only looking at Tang Dan.
"Answer whatever I ask."
Even though Tang Dan already knew that Xiao Chen had woken up, she still felt somewhat shocked when she saw this scene for herself.
During the day, she had checked on Xiao Chen's injuries. They were extremely severe.
She would need at least a month to wake up. However, she did not expect Xiao Chen to wake up that very night.
"What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Chen answered calmly, not showing any panic in his eyes.
"Did you kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?"
"Yes."
Xiao Chen's simple answer startled Tang Dan slightly. After the shock passed, she found it unbelievable.
"However …"
"However what?" Tang Dan pressed.
"Pu ci!"
Just as Tang Dan pressed, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and allowed the sword to pierce through his chest. Blood flowed out and dyed his clothes red.
Shock flashed in Tang Dan's eyes. Her mind paused for a moment.
By the time she startled to her senses, Xiao Chen had already formed the Seven Kill Seal and placed a finger on her forehead.
Xiao Chen's terrifying killing intent immediately strengthened sevenfold. Like a surging flood, it poured into Tang Dan's body.
The killing intent filled every corner of Tang Dan's body, instantly restraining her, preventing her from moving.
The terrifying killing intent made breathing difficult for Tang Dan, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. "Chi!
Chi! "
Xiao Chen let go and stood up. Then, he slowly drew his sword and said indifferently, "However, I do not like it when others point their swords at me."
