The Inspection and Supervision Department is the Emperor’s people, and they don’t get along with him, especially with those fifty thousand elite troops stationed in the Northern Land, like a nail hammered into his heart, making him restless day and night.
He felt like prey being choked by a fierce tiger; as long as the Emperor wished, those jaws could snap down at any time, taking his life.
Though the elite force of the Inspection and Supervision Department consists of only fifty thousand, it is enough to match his five hundred thousand troops and deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.
The Inspection and Supervision Department is his rival, and that Great Demon is invited into the pass as a contingency against the Inspection and Supervision Department. If his son’s marriage alliance falls through, he won’t hesitate to be ruthless, as the Northern Land cannot tolerate the court’s influence.
Hearing Xie Lingyun’s words, Prince Pingbian secretly sneered in his heart.
Now that things have come to this, everyone could only continue to wait. An old Bear alone was already troublesome enough, and now a depth-unknown Horse Demon has appeared, making everyone more cautious and unwilling to act rashly.
Zhang Chen, sitting on the body of the Ba Snake, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the scene: "Is that all?"
The Northern Land has already been invaded by the Demon Race, yet there isn’t a master among the Humans able to slay them, showing that the experts in the Northern Land are limited, and their power isn’t great.
"Those people from the various great families aren’t impressive either." As Zhang Chen understands more about the Mysterious Realm of the world, his sense of awe gradually fades.
But rationally, Zhang Chen still understood that these guys weren’t weak; rather, the Bear’s Divine Techniques were a perfect counter to these people. If he were to face them, he’d be finished too.
The Bear stands at sixty meters tall, like a towering mountain. Especially since it has Copper Skin and Iron Bones, and controls the earth’s magnetic field, no one can even pierce its skin when fighting it.
Even the Yang God True Man here might be at a loss. It would take great effort to deal with this bear blind.
However, none of this concerns Zhang Chen. He continues his blood absorption while observing the bear blind’s methods. He sees the Bear’s body shake, beginning to shrink, soon reducing to ten meters, then it rubs the lump on the back of its head, casting an angry gaze around, and roars to the sky, "Which bastard plotted against me, the old bear? Come out so I can duel you! See if I don’t crush your skull."
"As You Wish?" Zhang Chen was somewhat shocked by the bear blind’s technique, "Or is this Divine Technique the legendary Heaven and Earth?"
Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on the lump on the back of the Bear’s head, secretly wondering: "Wow, I smashed down a twelve-thousand-pound jade brick, and you just get a big lump on your head. Your bones are really tough."
Even with twelve thousand pounds of force, even iron would be smashed into pieces, but it withstood it, leaving Zhang Chen amazed.
"This bear blind is extraordinary." Zhang Chen thought to himself.
The Bear Spirit cursed at the air, and when no one responded, it jumped into the blood pit along with the old horse.
Watching the bear blind jump into the blood pit and hearing its curses, Zhang Chen’s fingers twitched involuntarily, wanting to throw the jade brick again to hit the bear blind once.
The Bear Demon King’s mouth was truly filthy! It’s unknown where a beast learned such foul language to curse from one’s ancestors for eight generations to Zhang Chen’s future descendants.
"Forget it, it’s just a beast, why should I bicker with it? Let me consume all the Ba Snake’s Essence first, then see if I can find a chance to strike it hard." Zhang Chen thought secretly.
His Blood Control Technique requires a staggering twenty-four billion points, which is no small figure. Zhang Chen estimated that once he consumed all of the Ba Snake’s Creation, he should be able to achieve this goal.
As time passed slowly, the masterminds from the Inspection and Supervision Department and the court kept attempting to break through the Ba Snake’s defense, searching for other wounds on its body. But despite the experts of the Human Race surrounding the Ba Snake’s body, they still found nothing.
At this point, the people of the Human Race could only secretly pray for the Law of Heaven and Earth to stabilize quickly, for those experts to come out earlier, or else everyone might not even get a sip of soup.
Fortunately, the Ba Snake’s Essence Qi was wildly leaking, nourishing the people’s bodies and Essence, strengthening their bloodline, so they didn’t come away completely empty-handed.
Before long, a day had passed. That morning, the Gong Family’s Gong Nan walked out of the tent to get some air, instinctively glancing at the Ba Snake’s body. The next moment, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked up and down the Ba Snake’s body, and then cried out in surprise: "Something’s wrong! That Great Snake’s body has shrunk!"
To shrink a whole mile in one night, how could Gong Nan fail to notice such a major change?
Along with Gong Nan’s exclamation, the people in the tent woke up one by one, each stepping quickly out of the main tent, then all eyes on the distant Ba Snake’s body, all were stunned.
"Why did the Great Snake’s body shrink? Could it be because those Demon Race beasts consumed too much Essence Qi, causing the Great Snake’s body to shrink?" Prince Pingbian asked.
Mr. Wuliu, sensing for a moment, shook his head: "Those two beasts alone couldn’t possibly devour so much Essence Qi. The Ba Snake’s Essence Qi is like an Ancient Corpse unearthed from that great tomb, constantly dissipating into Heaven and Earth. I think its shrinkage overnight is due to this reason."
