23 The Mysterious Blood Talisman

As the Dragon Transformation's skill circulation became faster and faster, the intimate feeling between the blood talisman and Jiang Chen's soul was getting stronger and stronger, giving Jiang Chen a feeling that he and this blood talisman was actually just one entity.

"What's happening? Why do I have such a strong feeling of kinship toward it? Perhaps this blood talisman is related to the Dragon Transformation skill?" Jiang Chen was truly shocked. Even with his strong mind, he still felt that this was really crazing. He had lived two lives, and was once the greatest Saint in the world. He had gone through death and come back to life; his experiences had given him a strong mind that no one else could compare with. However, what was happening right now had once again distracted his soul.

"Brother Jiang, just what is this blood talisman actually?" Duo Tian asked.

Jiang Chen turned around and looked at everyone in confusion, then he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How can you not know? Only you could get hold of this blood talisman, and if you don't know what it is, how are you going to use it to deal with the Earth Devil?" Big Yellow said in a hopeless manner.

"I really have no idea what it is. But, what I do know is, with this blood talisman, we'll be able to deal with the Earth Devil. Or, put it this way, it can help us restrain the Earth Devil." After all, Jiang Chen was a man with a strong mind. In just a short moment, he had regained his calm from the confused state. Then, he walked out from the secret chamber with blood talisman in hand.

"So this is the treasure hidden in Inferno City. This place has existed for such a long time, and this is the first time someone has discovered the blood talisman." Duo Tian said as he stared at the blood talisman in Jiang Chen's palm.

Wang Heng said while a questioning looks,

"But we don't know what the use this blood talisman is, and we also don't know how much power it can release."

"Even a Combat Soul warrior was injured by the blood red lights unleashed by it, what do you think?" Yang Meng slapped Wang Heng's head and gave him a look of disdain.

"Brother Jiang, what did you say just now? Use this blood talisman to deal with the Earth Devil?" Xuan Ye recalled Jiang Chen's words just now, and immediately asked him with a surprised expression.

"That's right. My purpose for coming to Inferno Hell is to kill the Earth Devil, as I need its demon soul. However, this Earth Devil is too strong, and there is no way we can defeat it. But, with this blood talisman's help, I'm sure it will help us greatly with restraining the Earth Devil, and that will give us the perfect opportunity to kill it."

Jiang Chen explained.

"Xuan Ye, you have to help brother Jiang kill the Earth Devil." Wu Jiu said.

"Of course. However, that Earth Devil is really strong, I actually fought it once." Xuan Ye said. He could still remember the scene where he fought the Earth Devil, and it still gave him a daunting feeling.

Jiang Chen looked at Xuan Ye. Those words were really good news, "What? You've fought the Earth Devil before? That means you know where to find it?"

"That was two years ago. I went to the center of Inferno Hell when searching for Lord Jiu, then I bumped into the Earth Devil. Its cultivation was stronger than mine, but with its mighty devilish force and incredible combat strength, we fought intensely, and I was no match for it at all. Finally, I was able to escape from the fight, badly wounded. Since then, two years have passed, and I'm afraid the Earth Devil is even stronger now. It might not have broken through to the late-stage Combat Soul realm, but I'm sure it's at least a peak mid-stage Combat Soul monster. I don't really know its exact condition, as I only bumped into it by accident." Xuan Ye explained what happened. He hadn't found the devil cave yet, or else, he might already have found a trace of Wu Jiu.

"Enter the devil cave, we'll definitely find the Earth Devil in there." Wu Jiu concluded.

"Haha, what are we waiting for? Let's proceed to the devil cave now!" Big Yellow was really excited. He could still remember being hunted by the Combat Soul Evil Devil back in the devil cave, and it gave him a really bad memory. Now, he wanted to return and get revenge.

Duo Tian suggested, "We don't have to rush. Although we've obtained the blood talisman, we can't allow any accidents to happen while dealing with the Earth Devil. Brother Xuan Ye was wounded by the blood red lights, so let's wait for him to recover before we proceed to the devil cave. At the same time, all of us will use this time to adjust our conditions. Brother Jiang can give brother Jiu some pills and natural essences that can help speed up his recovery, then we'll proceed to the devil cave in three days."

He didn't want any unforeseen accidents to happen. Although their time was limited, and they had to kill the Earth Devil as soon as possible, Duo Tian didn't like to start a battle without confidence, especially since this concerned Han Yan's life.

"Alright, we'll do as you said." Jiang Chen nodded his head.

"I agree with Brother Tian suggestion." Wu Jiu added. Although he had recovered to the Early Divine Core realm, in order to deal with the Earth Devil, this cultivation level was worthless. With three days, and a huge amount of natural essences and pills, he was confident he could go back to the peak Divine Core realm. With his cultivation base at the peak Divine Core realm, his combat strength could be considered equal to an ordinary Combat Soul warrior's combat strength. At that point of time, with Xuan Ye's help, their chances of defeating the Earth Devil would be greater.

Jiang Chen had robbed nearly all the warriors in Inferno City, and his wealth was so enormous that it could actually pile up into a gigantic mountain. There were all sorts of pills and medicines in his storage rings, almost an endless supply. Jiang Chen also needed some time to stabilize his cultivation. Also, with three days' time, he could spend some time researching the blood talisman.

After three days of resting, Xuan Ye had recovered to his peak form. Even more exciting, with the help from all sorts of natural essences, Wu Jiu recovered to the peak Divine Core realm. Although it was only the Divine Core realm, since he had a strong foundation of being a peak Combat Soul warrior, together with some extraordinary skills that he knew; he could actually fight an early-stage Combat Soul warrior such as Xuan Ye with only his peak Divine Core cultivation.

Jiang Chen was surprised by another good news as well; in the past three days, Big Yellow had broken through to the Mid Divine Core realm. Together with Duo Tian, this group of men could sweep across the entire Inferno Hell without much resistance.

In addition, after Guan Yiyun and Tian Yishan had completely healed their injuries, both of them had broken through to the Mid Divine Core realm as well, and they were much stronger compared to before.

"Brother, with my current condition, I can finally help you with your mission." Wu Jiu's eyes were glowing, portraying a brimming energy.

"Kaka, this master dog has broken through to another level, who dares challenge me now?!" Big Yellow laughed out heartily, incredibly excited.

"Perfect, let's proceed to the devil cave now!"
