Chapter 586 - 586 586 Hogging Benefits While Playing

Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Hogging Benefits While Playing Innocent Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Hogging Benefits While Playing Innocent Jiang Fan stared at the giant egg, deep in thought,

“How fast is the ancient giant?”

Six-Path Master was so angry he spat blood, “Why are you so inflexible?”

“Do you really want to die here?”

“If you die, don’t drag me down with you!”

Jiang Fan said calmly,

“Don’t hold any illusions.”

“Even if I leave alive, I will kill you.”

Six-Path Master was left speechless.

From the moment the soul transfer began, there was no room for reconciliation between them.

It’s either you die, or I live.

“Alright.”

Six-Path Master sighed and said, “A Nascent Soul expert is no more than food for an ancient giant.”

“Their speed can’t be much slower than that of a Nascent Soul level.”

“But why is this ancient giant hiding here?”

“I guess that during the big battle a thousand years ago, he was severely injured and happened to find this place with a giant egg.”

“So he decided to stay here, feeding on the egg’s essence to sustain his life.”

“Therefore, his speed should be far less than at his peak.”

“Estimating it to be slightly inferior to the Nascent Soul level.”

Jiang Fan pondered this carefully.

This analysis made some sense.

If this ancient giant were truly at his peak, how could the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master maintain control over their respective territories?

He would have long come out and devoured them one by one.

Of course, this only indicated that the ancient giant’s speed wasn’t at its peak.

His actual strength was hard to say.

The wild aura he emitted earlier was extraordinarily terrifying.

“It’s worth a try.” A glint flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

When it came to competing in speed, he had a chance to escape.

Even if he were caught.

He could always abandon the giant egg.

The ancient giant wouldn’t likely abandon the egg to chase after a small being like Jiang Fan, right?

Taking a deep breath.

Once the magma pool was completely calm.

Jiang Fan silently adjusted his breathing, preparing to move toward the giant egg.

As long as he could touch the egg, he could activate the Heavenly Thunder Stone’s space storage device to capture the giant egg.

“Kid, you have to act quickly.”

“The ancient giant has just fallen asleep and can easily be awakened.”

“If you’re even half a beat slow and he notices you, you won’t be able to leave.”

Jiang Fan said, “Do you really need to remind me?”

He focused on the giant egg.

The distance between them was only about a dozen yards.

One move with his movement technique, and he could leap to it.

In an instant.

However, he dismissed the idea of using his movement technique.

If he wanted to be fast, then he needed to be extremely fast, leaving no room for error.

The ancient giant could kill him with even the slightest mistake.

No room for chance.

So,

he focused all his attention on the giant egg.

When his concentration reached its peak.

The void flow thunder force inside him suddenly surged, and he decisively activated the “Heavenly Thunder Six Parts·Cloud Shadow.”

Transforming into a bolt of thunder, he instantly moved toward the giant egg.

This was thunder.

How fast was it?

It could traverse thousands of miles in an instant.

So what was a mere dozen yards?

Not even a moment was needed.

However,

as he was moving.

A blue-gray long arm suddenly shot out lightning-fast from the calm magma pool.

Gripped in its hand was a wolf fang club covered in the dried blood of countless strong individuals.

Some of the blood even held hints of Divinity Transformation aura!

It’s clear how many powerful beings perished under this wolf fang club a thousand years ago.

Jiang Fan and Six-Path Master were both terrified,

“He was pretending to sleep!”

“He noticed you long ago!”

This ancient giant was insidiously cunning.

He clearly sensed someone hidden nearby, yet pretended to sleep.

It’s even possible he was deliberately absorbing the egg’s essence.

To lure the hidden beings to show themselves.

Now this stored-up strike was on par with the power of a Nascent Soul strike.

Before the wolf fang club reached him, the thunder around Jiang Fan’s body flickered uncertainly.

It seemed to be forcibly interrupted.

Jiang Fan’s heart raced.

It was equivalent to taking a Nascent Soul strike!

Fortunately,

the ancient giant didn’t anticipate that Jiang Fan was using the thunder technique, especially the highly advanced ‘Cloud Shadow.’

With a whoosh,

before the wolf fang club could land, Jiang Fan instantly moved onto the bird egg.

The wolf fang club missed, striking the shore instead.

Instantly,

the underground space trembled like a drum being powerfully struck.

Resonating with a booming reverberation.

The force of the tremor spread to the outside world.

Causing the entire mountain to shake!

For a while, the earth quaked and the mountains rocked.

Countless stones fell, as if on the verge of collapsing under the blow.

Jiang Fan felt a chill down his spine.

Luckily, he had used the thunder technique. If he had used his movement technique.

He would have been hit directly.

Then, he would have turned into a mist of blood.

Feeling stable underfoot,

knowing he had landed on the giant egg, Jiang Fan moved quickly without any hesitation.

Decisively placing his hand on the egg.

The ancient giant hadn’t expected his strike to miss.

He hadn’t prepared a follow-up.

When he realized, he suddenly sat up from the magma pool.

Jiang Fan had already activated the Heavenly Thunder Stone.

Swoosh—

The round giant stone, along with the small ruined temple on its back, was sucked into the Heavenly Thunder Stone.

Roar!

The ancient giant howled in anger.

Another hand reached out like lightning toward Jiang Fan.

But Jiang Fan had already executed the “Cloud Shadow” technique again, narrowly dodging its massive palm and flashing into the tunnel toward the exit.

Without any hesitation,

he continuously activated “Cloud Shadow.”

Two hundred yards each time.

After several instances, until his Thunder Power was exhausted.

He immediately drew the Purple Sword.

Sword heart and sword body activated simultaneously.

Sword Flight!

Jiang Fan felt the Purple Sword in his hand become part of his body.

Like wings belonging to a bird.

With a thought,

the Purple Sword carried him up quickly.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

Just as he was about to reach the sky,

a scarlet, snake-like long appendage trailed after him!

Its speed was comparable to “Cloud Shadow!”

“It’s the ancient giant’s tongue!”

Six-Path Master exclaimed in surprise.

Damn!

Jiang Fan’s heart raced.

He had used “Cloud Shadow” five times in succession, escaping at least a thousand yards away.

The ancient giant’s tongue was really that long?

And he had seen how sharp it was.

Piercing the stone-like giant egg effortlessly.

If it caught up to him…

Without thinking.

Jiang Fan turned and pointed.

The Sorrow Frost Sword on his back flew out of its sheath.

Stabbing fiercely into the pursuing tongue.

Roar!

The Sorrow Frost Sword pierced the tongue, causing the ancient giant underground to howl in pain.

Its tongue was indeed powerful.

But the pain was excruciating when injured.

With a tearing sound.

The tongue retracted in pain.

Jiang Fan took the opportunity to use Sword Flight, rapidly ascending.

What took him an entire tea break to descend.

Returning to the outer realm of the four great halls took only a minute or two.

He glanced at the passageway that Green Crane Masters had opened.

While the restriction was still healing, they were struggling to climb up, with their hurried movements faintly audible.

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

Looking up at the obscurely small opening in the sky.

He activated Sword Flight, slipping through and taking a shortcut again.

Before long,

he inhaled a burst of refreshing air.

Finally, he was out.

Seeing that they were still climbing.

Jiang Fan’s eyes twinkled, and he moved the statue back, covering any traces of his movement.

Then,

he quickly ran to the stone pillar, pulled out the Dragon Binding Chain, and tied himself up again.

Pretending he had never left.

Six-Path Master was once again left speechless, staring in disbelief.

“You took all the treasures and still pretend to be innocent?”

“Can you be any more shameless?”
