Chapter 103 Fearless in the face of death, bloodline talent: regeneration!
"Six Claws, don't you have a feeling that our lord is turning from righteous to evil?"
Noticing the change in Jiang Xiu's eyes, the Ant King whispered to the Six-Clawed Demon King beside him, because the moment Jiang Xiu saw Ba An, his eyes suddenly sharpened, filled with nothing but longing and intense coldness.
"Indeed..." The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor nodded in agreement. Although Jiang Xiu's strength was not as great as theirs now, this change really made him nervous.
Upon hearing their voices, Jiang Xiu smiled indifferently. He wasn't acting out of malice; he simply wanted the abyssal creatures to die... or be transformed into his Shadow Legion.
He dared not forget the deaths of his parents and the instructions of the spirit of the old plane, so he would use any means necessary to deal with the Abyss Plane.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, the sound of the ground trembling became more and more intense, and the huge figure broke through the forest mist, appearing completely in front of Jiang Xiu and the other two.
It was over forty meters tall, with a body as big as a small mountain. Its entire body was covered with dark green scales that emitted a faint glow. It had a ferocious head similar to that of a dragon, three huge legs supporting its body, an extremely strong upper body, a pair of thick and long arms, and two sharp claws on its sides. Each claw was more than five meters in diameter, somewhat like a dragon's claw.
A huge tail trailed behind it, and its dragon-like head had four eyes, all of which flashed with a scarlet light. Its aura was extremely ferocious, and its imposing presence was comparable to that of a human Soul Master.
"My lord, this is a fully grown Baan," the Ant Queen whispered tenderly.
"Lulu lulu... Lula!" This Baan had obviously seen Jiang Xiu and the other two as well. Its scarlet eyes flashed with indifference and a hint of mockery, and its voice was extremely impassioned.
Jiang Xiu frowned slightly, looking at the two people beside him with a puzzled expression. "What is it babbling about?"
The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King, however, were flushed, even turning somewhat black. "My lord, it told us to go back to where we came from and not to stay in their plane... In other words, it said we are stinking outsiders..."
Jiang Xiu's expression froze for a moment, then he heard the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's explanation: "The Baan clan is tyrannical and arrogant, with an extremely strong sense of territory, and they are not afraid of death. Apart from their own emperor and the top ten races in the Abyss, they despise all other Abyss creatures equally..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu understood. The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King were ranked low in their races. Although they were Abyss Kings, they had infiltrated secretly this time. In order not to attract the attention of the Ba King and provoke a racial war, although they did not hide their cultivation levels, they concealed their unique aura as Abyss Kings.
"Then why aren't you two making a move? Are you trying to be ninja turtles by enduring so much?" Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke calmly.
"I can't stand it! I can't stand it!" The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor struck first, his figure flashing as he charged towards Baan. "Today I'll show you what it means for a king not to be insulted!"
The Ant King followed closely behind. Before their lord came, the Baan tribe looked down on them. Now that their lord has come, the Baan still look down on them. If they don't take revenge, then their lord's trip will have been in vain.
Jiang Xiu watched the three of them quietly, a hint of surprise flashing in his blood-red eyes. The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's attack had only broken through the scales of this creature, which was comparable to a Soul Douluo-level Baan, leaving it with torn flesh, but had not caused it any fatal damage.
With a swipe of its claws, sharp, ghostly light flashed in the air. The killing intent in Baan's eyes was fully revealed. Instead of fleeing, it charged towards the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor.
"As expected of the Ba'an clan, they are simply born killing machines." Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene.
The Baan race can be described as the combination of the Abominations and Death Knights of the Undead world. They not only have extremely strong defenses but also ruthless attack power. Whenever these abyssal creatures appear in the Abyss Passage, they cause the Blood God Legion a great deal of trouble.
"Roar!" Baan roared fiercely, but in just a few seconds, its body was covered with wounds, flowing with dark green blood, and even its third leg was broken.
Although Baan was very strong, it had no chance to fight back against the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King, whose cultivation levels far exceeded its own. It could only withstand the attacks with its body, which precisely demonstrated its terrifying defensive power.
And whether intentionally or unintentionally, the ant queen did not finish it off directly, but was waiting for something.
"Buzzing!"
Suddenly, Ba'an trembled all over, and a dark green light burst forth from its heart, instantly covering its entire body. Then, an astonishing scene unfolded: under this green light, Ba'an's injuries were healing at an astonishing speed, and even its severed third leg began to regrow.
"My lord, this is the bloodline talent of the Baan clan: Regeneration!" The Ant King seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and took the initiative to explain to Jiang Xiu.
The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, standing to the side, was filled with regret. How could he not have thought of that? His master, being a newcomer, would surely want to learn about the Baan clan in person, and the Ant Emperor had beaten him to it.
Jiang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
Bloodline talent is a unique talent of advanced species in the Abyss. There are no more than fifteen races in the Abyss with bloodline talent, making them extremely rare.
During the final battle between the Abyss and Douluo Continent, when Hua Di faced a fatal blow, he relied on Ba Huang's regenerative ability to successfully turn the tide.
Furthermore, the bloodline talent of the Baan clan has completely filled the last gap in their abilities. They have defense, damage, and endurance, and they are not afraid of death, making them all-around warriors.
This is also the main reason why he set his next target on the Baan clan. As long as the Baan clan is subdued, the pressure on the middle and lower-ranking soldiers during the final battle will be greatly reduced.
"Alright, now that you've shown your talent, it's time for you to die." Seeing Jiang Xiu nod, the Ant King suddenly attacked, his hands covered in eerie light piercing through layers of defense and heading straight for Ba'an's heart.
With a powerful grip, his heart exploded, blood splattered, and Baan's crimson eyes gradually lost their luster before his massive body crashed to the ground.
Their heart is their weakness, but few enemies of the same level can break through Baan's defenses.
Just as the Baan transformed into a stream of abyssal energy and attempted to escape, the Shadow King behind Jiang Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly grabbed it and refined it in a flash.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiu's Ba'an Shadow Legion was quietly established.
"Huh! What's this?" Just as the Shadow King was feeding back, Jiang Xiu seemed to sense something, and his eyes lit up.
He actually sensed Baan's regenerative bloodline talent within his body. Although it was only in its rudimentary form, it was real!
"Could it be that when extracting the shadows to nourish the bloodline, one can also extract their bloodline talents?" Jiang Xiu murmured, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "These abyssal origins of Ba'an, along with the shadows, were extracted by me and did not return to the abyss, so their bloodline talents are also being nourished."
"However, this is only the initial form and is not yet complete. More Baan need to be extracted to fully obtain this bloodline talent." After understanding the cause and effect, Jiang Xiu felt a faint excitement rising in his heart.
It's important to know that Ba'an's regenerative talent is something even a Transformation Emperor would envy, and his shadow's attack methods will no longer be limited in the future. Ba'an's clan isn't the only Abyss race with bloodline talents...
