"Roar!!"
The Stone Giant engulfed in Blood Flame suddenly leaped out from the distant valley, charging towards Ancestor Chiji like a massive meteor descending from the sky, carrying a terrifying and oppressive force!
"Hmm?!"
"What is this...?"
Ancestor Chiji had been wary near this dangerous area of "Falling Stone Valley," but seeing they were still outside the perilous zone, and with Chu Huannian successfully contained by him, he didn't pay much attention to the "Falling Stone Valley." Just as he was about to deal with the criminal Chu Huannian again, observing how many life-saving treasures she could produce, he witnessed the oncoming Blood Flame Stone Giant!
He was immediately taken aback, then realized that this Stone Giant was indeed the Stone Spirit of this perilous place?!
But why was it suddenly engulfed in Blood Flame?
And why did the aura of this Blood Flame seem somewhat similar to his?
"Boom!!"
No time to think further, the Blood Flame Stone Spirit had already charged close to Ancestor Chiji with a loud explosion at its center, leaving a thousand-mile radius barren, collapsing downwards by dozens of meters!
"Phew... What a fright..."
Chu Huannian was not targeted by the Blood Flame Stone Spirit, and she quickly escaped, withstanding only a slight shockwave before safely arriving beside Mu Jinyu.
At this time, the Blood Flame Stone Spirit was frantically battling Ancestor Chiji, its three-meter-wide fists pounding him relentlessly, leaving him in disarray.
The Red Fur talent of his species was ineffective against the Blood Flame Stone Spirit, whether entangling or piercing, causing Ancestor Chiji further torment.
Because this Blood Flame Stone Spirit seemed like a humanoid sculpture of natural rock, not a heap of boulders, it's hard for the flexible Red Fur to find leverage to tear it apart.
Moreover, the Stone Spirit's material was extremely hard; despite Ancestor Chiji's hardened Red Fur needles, comparable to the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, they managed only to leave sparks and some minor marks on the Stone Spirit's surface, failing to break through!
"How did you manage to have the Stone Spirit in the valley attack Ancestor Chiji itself?"
After watching the battle between Ancestor Chiji and the Blood Flame Stone Spirit for a while, Chu Huannian turned to Mu Jinyu with curiosity.
Mu Jinyu said, "Is this the so-called Stone Spirit? The rumors about its low intelligence were indeed true. As for how, it's this..."
As he spoke, Mu Jinyu flipped his hand to produce a strand of Red Fur, slightly raising it in his palm.
"This is..."
Upon seeing the Red Fur in Mu Jinyu's hand, Chu Huannian glanced a few times, realizing it wasn't from Ancestor Chiji. Besides, Mu Jinyu hadn't been in contact with Ancestor Chiji. It took her a moment to understand it was from people of the Chixing Tribe near Qingshi City whom Mu Jinyu had killed.
As this thought crossed her mind, Chu Huannian saw the Red Fur in Mu Jinyu's hand suddenly ignite, burning into a blazing Blood Flame.
"This..."
Watching this scene, Chu Huannian's pupils slightly contracted in surprise, exclaiming, "So you were the one who set the Blood Flame on the Stone Spirit!"
She continued, suddenly enlightened, "No wonder the Stone Spirit went berserk upon seeing Ancestor Chiji, rushing towards him as if it was out for revenge. It must think the Blood Flame on it was caused by Ancestor Chiji!"
"But how did you ignite the Red Fur? And ensure the Stone Spirit wouldn't harm you?"
After understanding why the Blood Flame Stone Spirit fought fiercely against Ancestor Chiji, Chu Huannian had more questions, curiously asking Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu explained, "Igniting the Red Fur is just a simple trick. Even if I taught you, you wouldn't grasp it, so let's leave it at that. As for why the Stone Spirit doesn't attack me despite being set on fire, it's because I first set up a formation around, concealing my aura, merging with heaven and earth, so naturally, it perceives me as nonexistent."
Hearing Mu Jinyu say it wouldn't help to teach her, Chu Huannian rolled her eyes, then listened to his explanation about concealing techniques and furrowed her brows: "Is it really that simple?"
Mu Jinyu said, "It only sounds simple when you hear it. In practice, it is not easy at all, learning those formations is not easy either..."
The core runes used in the formation set by Mu Jinyu were not the rudimentary ones he first learned on Earth, but the six runes he obtained from Mount Tai.
That is, the six runes he obtained simultaneously when getting the "Blood Tempering Method" and "Sword Scroll."
The formation built from these six runes is far superior to ordinary formations known on Earth. Similarly, in the Canglan Realm, it would be hard for anyone not a top-grade expert to easily break through the formation constructed with these six runes!
This is why Mu Jinyu could burn the Stone Spirit with Blood Flame without letting it, a low-intelligence creature, detect him and quietly walk away.
"Consider it your luck if the Stone Spirit in Falling Stone Valley wasn't accidentally born prematurely while forming in the rock, losing most of its Spiritual Nature and failing to become part of the Spirit Clan. If it were a member of the Spirit Clan, your so-called formation for hiding your aura would be utterly ineffective."
Seeing Mu Jinyu being evasive with words, unwilling to elaborate, Chu Huannian, recalling her hardships and struggles along the way being pursued by Ancestor Chiji, responded with annoyance.
Mu Jinyu smiled, saying, "If this Stone Spirit were part of the Spirit Clan, it wouldn't be staying in this valley. Seeing that it chooses to remain, knowing it's a Spirit Clan member, I wouldn't have come seeking it to set a trap for Chiji!"
"Roar!!"
"Bang!!"
The Blood Flame on the Stone Spirit gradually weakened, yet its fierce battle with Ancestor Chiji made it even more frenzied. It pounded its chest a few times with force, then swiftly punched Ancestor Chiji, launching him like a cannonball!
"Damn thing!!"
Ancestor Chiji, enraged by the Stone Spirit, had never suffered so much before; he couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly halted mid-air, then spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with Red Fur!
"Hiss!!"
As the blood spurted, it ignited, enveloping the approaching Stone Spirit.
"Boom Boom!!"
Instantly, the raging Blood Flame burned, distorting the void around it.
The Stone Spirit's rock body started showing fine cracks under the terrifying high temperature of Ancestor Chiji's blood flame, which continued to expand!
"Die!!"
Seeing this, Ancestor Chiji roared. His Red Fur grew wildly, transforming into nine long whips to bind the Stone Spirit. The Red Fur strands penetrated the cracks within and continued to destroy and disintegrate!
"Boom!!"
In the end, the ferocious Stone Spirit that turned a regular valley into a perilous zone was successfully annihilated by Ancestor Chiji, reduced to countless stone fragments flying off in all directions!
"Now it's your turn!"
After obliterating the Stone Spirit, Ancestor Chiji couldn't help but cough blood again. He then turned, glaring at Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian with beady eyes, growling.
As he shouted, dense and terrifying Red Fur surged, sweeping towards Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian!
Yet, at this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
