Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1744

The inner core of the Destined Toad was the most valuable part of it.

The North Sky King’s Army came to hunt the toad, particularly for this inner core!

The Destined Toad could surely explode all its poison beads and its body, but not the inner core!

The inner core of the toad, which led over ten thousand superior cultivators to death, was quietly staying before Ye Xiao’s eyes.

Ye Xiao gently breathed a sigh and reached out a hand to touch it.

“Don’t!” A cold voice sounded.

The voice sounded powerless, but it was still decisive and arrogant.

Ye Xiao frowned, turned around, and looked over.

About a thousand feet away, the man in the purple robe was approaching slowly.

It was the old man who had led the army over and lost every single one of them in the explosion.

He must be severely wounded.

His face was like a piece of golden paper, and he was staggering. The chest caved in, which was scary. The purple robe was already ragged, and it barely covered the man’s body.

There was no blood coming out, but his chest, back, shoulders, legs, and some other parts, were all wrecked and the bones were exposed…

Half of the hairs on his head were gone. His skull was revealed with blood.

He must be dying, but he still did his best to walk to Ye Xiao. In his eyes, it seemed like there was a blazing intention.

His eyes were staring at the inner core of the Destined Toad.

The old man staggered over, raised up his head, and looked at Ye Xiao. He was apparently dying, but his eyes were still full of fierceness and arrogance.

“You… Get over!” The old man’s voice was shaking. “Get that thing over there and hand it to me!”

He was giving instructions.

“Get it and hand it to you?” Ye Xiao was surprised. He looked at this dying old man.

‘He is dying, but still dares to give me orders?’

‘Who the hell is this man? How brave is he? What is he thinking? Why does he talk to me like that?’

‘Is he arrogant? Is he ignorant? Is he dreaming?’

‘Is he all these?’

“Why hesitate? Are you going to refuse?” The old man sounded angry.

‘A Divinity Origin Stage cultivator, who is as weak as an ant, how can he violate my order?’

The old man must be furious. He might be even angrier than the toad.

“You asked for death!” He slowly raised up one hand, which had already become a skeleton. The broken muscles on his face were shaking. He was definitely going to die, but he wouldn’t allow anybody to go against his will!

‘I just need to kill this man… That inner core will be mine!’

‘As long as I eat that inner core, no matter how badly I am hurt, I will be fine, and I will get a much longer life!’

The old man didn’t care about his job anymore, because he was facing the choice of life and death.

If he died, he was never going to take the inner core back anyway.

Nothing was more important than his own life!

A sharp flow of wind suddenly became a fierce saber attack, moving like a bolt of lightning toward Ye Xiao’s throat.

Such a fierce attack could kill any cultivator under the Saint Origin Stage!

It was a killing strike!

Ye Xiao coldly looked at the power wave of the saber attack. He blandly said with a sneer, “You are dying, but you actually still want to kill me.”

Suddenly, he pushed his waist up and unleashed a strong wave of power!

When he pushed up his waist, the fierce saber attack was gone!

The top-level power of the Immortality Stage was revealed!

“The Immortality Stage!” The old man was surprised and angry.

He was angry about being fooled!

“You nasty dog! You lied to me! You were disguising your power, hiding away, and trying to attack me!” The old man was shaking. “You should die ten thousand times!”

“Oh? Is it a sin to hide one’s power?” Ye Xiao looked at the old man and said, “Actually, I am not going to argue. It is pointless. It is not your decision to make. Well, you are going to die anyway. I will make sure that you die!”

The old man smirked and said, “A frog at the bottom of the well knows nothing about the greatness of the oceans! You are an Immortality Stage cultivator, which is impressive. However, it means nothing to me! Do you know who I am? I am one of the twelve great generals of the North Sky King’s Army, the South Great General, Jiang Zhinan!”

Ye Xiao smirked and said, “Are you scared?”

The old man angrily said, “Why should I?”

“If you aren’t scared, you would just kill me. Why did you have to tell me who you are? If you aren’t scared, why do you try to scare me with the name of the North Sky King?” Ye Xiao’s words hurt. “You know that there is nothing you can do to me. In fact, you are just a chicken on my plate! You are a dying frog!”

“You are scared. You couldn’t wait to tell me who you are, hoping that I would spare your life for it.” Ye Xiao casually waved one hand. The inner core of the Destined Toad flew up and landed on Ye Xiao’s hand. As he turned over his hand, the inner core was gone. It was put into the Boundless Space.

Ye Xiao stared at the old man and slowly walked over.

Every step he walked ahead, his killing intent became stronger.

Jiang Zhinan’s face was stained with filthy blood. He wanted to struggle, but couldn’t. He looked at Ye Xiao and said, “If you make three more steps to me, I will kill you!”

Ye Xiao didn’t care. He walked and blandly said, “Jiang Zhinan, a general in the army of the North Sky King, swore loyalty to the North Sky King one hundred and thirty thousand years ago. You started as a soldier and soon became a general. One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, the North Sky King became king. You became one of the Twelve Great Generals of the North Sky.”

Ye Xiao read a lot of books, and the knowledge he learned from the book was making a difference now. The information about Jiang Zhinan popped up in his mind.

Jiang Zhinan was shocked.

He didn’t expect a young man to know so much about him.
