Chapter 1659: Qiqi's Apprentice

Yun Wanxiao said, feeling ashamed, "Alright, then I'll shamelessly accept it. Just tell me if you need any help from me."

With this item, he would have three more opportunities to activate his domain than Prince Xiang or Liu Bianhuang. This was a massive advantage! No price was too high to obtain it.

Jiang Fan said, "I have a friend named Wang Chongxiao who asked me to find some blood essence from the Angel race before I came. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, senior?"

Yun Wanxiao frowned slightly, gazing at Jiang Fan, seemingly lost in thought. Jiang Fan felt puzzled; it was just a bit of blood essence, why the hesitation?

He said, "If it's too much trouble for you, senior..." "Never mind!" Hearing this, Yun Wanxiao said, "Since you need it, why should I mind giving up a little?"

Of course, he wouldn't use his own blood essence. Instead, he plucked a feather and tossed it to Jiang Fan. A feather?

Was this a spatial storage item? Jiang Fan caught it, and his consciousness swept inside, revealing a small pool filled with iridescent liquid.

It was all Angel race blood essence! Yun Wanxiao explained, "This is the blood essence from some extremely heinous Angels after their execution. By rights, it shouldn't be circulated outside, but you're not an outsider, so I'll give it to you."

Jiang Fan was incredibly excited. With so much Angel blood essence, it would be enough to bind even more Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain stones! He threw the small divine ring back, expressing his gratitude, and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Yun Wanxiao caught it, and a look of joy finally appeared on his face. However, he then subtly glanced at the storage item on Jiang Fan's chest and asked, "Where did you pick that up? Do you have more?"

This question was within Jiang Fan's expectations. He shook his head and replied, "I saw Senior Kiki accidentally drop it."

"Oh, it was her. No wonder then," Yun Wanxiao said, understanding dawned on him, and he no longer harbored much suspicion. "Then you must keep it absolutely secret and don't let anyone know. That woman is not to be trifled with."

Jiang Fan nodded, "Understood, how could I possibly provoke her? I won't disturb you, senior, from your battle. I'll take my leave now."

With that, he turned and left. "Wait," Yun Wanxiao reminded with a smile, "Angel blood is harmful to humans; you shouldn't touch it with your body."

Jiang Fan turned his head and chuckled, "Thank you for the reminder, senior." Turning back, his eyes narrowed.

"Angel blood is harmful to us humans? If that's the case, why didn't Xia Chaoge warn me? Moreover, I've used Angel blood to bind the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain twice, and I touched it during the process, yet nothing happened. Why did Yun Wanxiao lie to me? Why doesn't he want me to come into contact with Angel blood? What is he hiding?"

Pondering these questions, he activated the Art of Selfless Purity and vanished. Yun Wanxiao watched Jiang Fan, his gaze meaningful. However, after his eyes swept over the massive empty space where Jiang Fan had stood, a hint of apprehension appeared in them.

Although he couldn't see it, he vaguely sensed the presence of the White Tiger. After Jiang Fan vanished, he set his sights on another target. To be precise, there were three individuals.

Three Asura clansmen! Two of them, cloaked in black, controlled a group of Blood Demon Kings and a Three-Crowned Asura King puppet, pushing to the front lines. While they couldn't decimate large areas with a single blow like Yun Wanxiao, their puppetry allowed them to employ group tactics, swarming their opponents so that almost no Giant Demon King could withstand a single attack. Thus, although they killed one by one, their speed was incredibly fast. The numbers on the foreheads of the two Asura clansmen were increasing rapidly.

Jiang Fan showed a playful expression: "So, they're using puppets? In that case, was it indeed a trap they set when I encountered them before? Many people must have fallen for it before me, right? Hmph, if I don't rip off people like you, Heaven itself would strike me down with lightning!"

Tianjian controlled his puppets to slay the Blood Demon Kings, while also keeping an eye on the situations of Yun Wanxiao, Prince Xiang, and Liu Bianhuang. He frowned slightly, "If this continues, we might not be able to surpass them."

Tianqin was also observing the three individuals' battle, and her mood was heavy. The three of them possessed unparalleled strength. Especially Prince Xiang, whose imperial body, as a sage, was like a temporary monarch amidst the beast tide; with a single sword draw, silence fell in all directions. His battle achievements were far superior to others.

Tianqin said, "It's because we control too few puppets, and they are too weak." Tianjian glanced at the Three-Crowned Asura King and a few two-star Blood Demon Kings, a look of disdain on his face. "Once we encounter higher-level Blood Demon Kings, we'll get rid of these useless ones. They're a waste of my puppetry talent!"

Tianqin sighed, "If we could use our talent a few more times and control more puppets, we might actually have a chance to turn the tide."

Just then, a surge of Five Signs of Decay energy rushed from behind them. Both immediately turned around, on guard. They saw that in the air before them, a massive White Tiger suddenly appeared, majestically looking down at them. Just as they thought a fierce creature was attacking, a faint youthful voice emanated from the White Tiger's forehead.

"Lucky ones, congratulations on meeting me."

Tianjian scoffed, "Stop playing games and show yourself!" Despite his words, he remained extremely wary. Someone who could command a White Tiger with the Five Signs of Decay couldn't be an ordinary person.

"You are not yet worthy of me revealing myself," the voice said. Tianqin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked softly, "Who are you, sir?"

Jiang Fan glanced at her, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. How could this woman resemble Tiange so much? He immediately understood the identity of the two Asura clansmen before him.

The Dark Asura Clan of the Heaven Realm! They actually possessed Ancient Wilderness Tokens, and two of them? Suppressing his doubts, Jiang Fan calmly stated, "I am Kiki's apprentice, an honest merchant. I have what you need most urgently."

With that, a divine ring detached from his palm, hovered, and became visible. Tianqin was startled, "The power of laws that restores innate bloodlines? Indeed, only Kiki could obtain something like this!"

Tianjian was also greatly surprised, looking at Jiang Fan with even more apprehension, but also with greater eagerness. "How many divine rings do you have, sir? We'll take them all!" If they had enough divine rings, they could infinitely control puppets to slay enemies, rendering Prince Xiang insignificant.

How could Jiang Fan let them gain such an overwhelming advantage? He calmly stated, "There are only two; they are unique in this world, with no third. If you want them, they're five Great Qian God Coins each."

"How much?" "Five?"

Tianjian and Tianqin were instantly choked. Normally, no one would want such an item; even on this battlefield, where it was desperately needed, one Great Qian God Coin was an exorbitant price. Let alone five? He truly was Kiki's apprentice; his heart was as dark as if steeped in the same dye vat.

Tianqin forced a bitter smile. "We don't have that many Great Qian God Coins."

It was as Jiang Fan expected. Great Qian God Coins seemed very valuable; even one was beyond what an ordinary person could produce. He said, "Then it depends on whether you can offer something that truly interests me."

Seeing a potential turning point, Tianqin hurriedly said, "Yes, we do." Without hesitation, she took out a black crystal and began, "This item is..." She stopped mid-sentence. Because six Hell Abyss Crystals flew out from Jiang Fan's hand: "Don't bother showing me worthless things."

Tianqin secretly clicked her tongue. How precious were Hell Abyss Crystals? Even in the Heaven Realm, there were only a few, yet this person produced six? Tianjian also showed a look of astonishment. Truly Kiki's apprentice; he had everything!

He pondered, then reluctantly pulled out a small hourglass. "This is a consumable magical artifact containing the law of time, called the Spacetime Hourglass. Once activated, time within a three-zhang radius can be accelerated tenfold, and the effect lasts for one hour. It becomes useless after one use."
