Chapter 575: Chapter 577: Who’s the Real Dad?


    Zhu Minng looked at Mingji and discovered that the jade armor protecting his body was already broken.


    That jade armor was quite special; even the Sword Spirit Dragon couldn’t shatter it, and the Heavenly ughter Dragon would likely have had to expend a great deal of time. When Zhu Minng ferociously beat up Mingji before, Mingji was fearless because of it.


    But now, Mingji was in mortal danger, his invincible life-preserving charm had shattered.


    Probably because he was born too precious, it was only in the face of death that his most vulnerable side showed. The young Mingji at this moment didn’t resemble someone from the Upper Realm; he looked more like a dog wagging its tail for mercy.


    “Look after yourself; I don’t have time to protect your life,” Zhu Minng responded indifferently.


    This Mingji, instead of staying obediently behind those armies, actually ran into these ancient ruins; he must have some purpose.


    “I’ll tell you a secret, trade this secret for my life, just keep me alive!” the young Mingji hurriedly said.


    Now that his life was at stake, the young Mingji finally began to speak logically.


    Zhu Minng nodded somewhat satisfied.


    “Let’s hear it,” said Zhu Minng.<div>


    “Divine blessing, do you know of divine blessings? Oh, you couldn’t possibly know, you live in the Lower Realm…”


    “Smack!” Zhu Minng’s pnded expertly on Mingji’s face.


    Mingji then realized his life was in someone else’s hands and he shouldn’t speak with that tone, but the p left him greatly puzzled.


    Why did his whole body convulse when this man struck him for the first time? The blow wasn’t even that hard, right?


    “Speak clearly,” Zhu Minng gave him a piercing look.


    “Once a god ascends in the Nether Gate, the Nether Gate will bestow a divine blessing upon thend where that god was born. This divine blessing is like a treasure box; until you find and open it, you’ll never know what secrets it contains. It could be a Divine Destiny Dragon, perhaps an Epic Sky Armor, or maybe a God Bud even more noble than Heavenly Earthly Species. I swear on my soul, this divine blessing is in these ancient relics!” the young Mingji said.


    Zhu Minng listened to Mingji while continuing to walk forward.


    Ahead was an open space, only some ancient pirs haphazardly scattered across the moss and vine-covered expanse, but at this moment, the surfaces of the moss and grass were covered with corpses!


    The bodies were neatly arranged, all fallen in simr positions, which indicated they didn’t have a chance to flee before being killed, nor did it seem like they put up any fight or struggle, a clear sign of an overwhelming disparity in power!N?v(el)B\\jnn


    So many Crossbow Archers, lives as vulnerable as des of grass, all reaped; Zhu Minng couldn’t help but wonder how powerful the entity that killed them was.


    Is this why there are no city guards near the ancient ruins, because what’s inside is even more terrifying?


    “Where’s your Azure Dragon? Why don’t you call for your Azure Dragon? Without the Azure Dragon, proceeding here is seeking death!” Mingji showed an anxious look.


    “Say something useful, or shut up,” Nan Yuso was obviously very annoyed by the youth, and spoke bluntly.


    “Earth Devils, they were killed by Earth Devils!” Mingji pointed at the empty ground, his whole body trembling.


    Zhu Minng’s gaze swept over, using his Spiritual Sense to discern the seemingly empty ground.


    Suddenly, an eye appeared on the surface of the ground.


    The eyes blinked a few times, and the eyeballs turned towards Zhu Minng to their maximum extent, staring at him in a very peculiar and bizarre manner that made Zhu Minng’s skin crawl!


    The ground shifted slightly, and then a monster slowly rose to its feet.


    It seemed to possess no body of its own; ruined columns had be its skeleton, and the skin of the earth its flesh. What was even more grotesque and deformed was that there were already several corpses on the ground, and these bodies had also been stirred into its form, bing part of its monstrous body!<div>


    A pair of eyes, without sockets, and even more so without a face, just propped up on that “patched together” torso by randomly twisted vines, as if a careless child had haphazardly doodled them on, yet it was a living being, even a cold, brutal, bloodthirsty evil spirit!


    “Ground Immortal Ghost!”


    Zhu Minng recognized this creature, and his originally solemn expression soon rxed.


    “Yes, yes, that’s what you call it. Hurry up and call your Azure Dragon to destroy it. The grace will be yours. Have you seen its beads? The key to unlocking grace is within those beads!” Mingji said.<div>


    “Zhu Minng, this thing is terrifying…” Nan Yuso had already sensed the ferocious aura of the Ground Immortal Ghost, which seemed to harbor a natural hatred for humans. When it stared at humans, its eyeballs almost bulged out.


    “If it’s a Ground Immortal Ghost, then that’s easy to deal with,” Zhu Minng said, smiling.


    Although the Ground Immortal Ghost was much more powerful than the creatures summoned by the Summoning Demon Sect, Ground Immortal Ghosts drew their strength from the earth spirits. Right by his side was an incarnation of an even more powerful spirit of thend—the Nuwa Dragon!


    “Seize its divine skills,” Zhu Minng called out the Nuwa Dragon.


    When the Nuwa Dragon saw the Ground Immortal Ghost, its Night Amber eyes sharp, its long arms moved in a dance, soft palms interweaving, and a wave of earth spirit ripples, like those from clear water, spread across the ground, reaching even further afield.


    “It’s stronger, but can be… suppressed,” the Nuwa Dragon, whosenguage ability was improving, managed to express its intent.


    “Just don’t let it keep regenerating and reconstituting,” Zhu Minng nodded in agreement.


    Unsheathe!


    The space behind Zhu Minng twisted slightly, and with a single hand pointing to the sky, the hidden Sword Spirit Dragon immediately leapt up, unraveling a spectacr crescent moon above Zhu Minng’s head.


    The young Mingji watching this scene saw his expression change gradually.


    Looking at Zhu Minng’s posture, he’s an old Sword Immortal…


    But why did his figure and sword control suddenly coincide with that Flying Sword Thief from before?!


    Damn, you said you didn’t know martial arts!<div>


    “It’s you!! You…,” young Mingji just about to curse, but then quickly covered his mouth.


    “I’m taking a few tinum Cultivation Fruits from you, do you have a problem with that?” Zhu Minng turned his head and snorted coldly.


    “No… No objections,” young Mingji hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum.


    He knew who the boss was now.


    Zhu Minng pointed downward, and the Sword Spirit Dragon Sword immediately burst forth with intense mes, its brilliance rippling like sunlight!


    As it descended at an angle, the Sword Spirit Dragon plunged into the corpse-littered wastnd. The moment the sword touched the soil, intense mes swept ferociously, creating a huge pool of fire, its dazzling crimson, rolling tongues of me, and an onught of sword-fire energy constantly striking towards the Ground Immortal Ghost!!
