Chapter 1297: Dangerous Situations

Not even the most potent elixirs of the Middle-earth human race possess such incredible, heaven-defying effects!

The pain on the purple giant's face subsided. She looked at Jiang Fan with amusement. "Not bad," she commented.

"You even possess an artifact capable of a God Transformation Realm human's strike."

"No wonder you were able to accompany Grand Venerable Xingyuan to the Celestial Realm. You truly have some hidden abilities."

"I'm becoming quite interested in you."

"Perhaps you know a lot about the Middle-earth Realm."

As she spoke, she made her move, grabbing at Jiang Fan with her left hand.

A terrifying force pierced through space, locking down Jiang Fan's body.

It all happened too quickly; Jiang Fan had no time to react!

For a Venerable, killing a Nascent Soul cultivator is but a mere thought.

Grabbing him was equally effortless!

But at that moment,

A corpse bag on Jiang Fan's waist burst open.

A majestic and powerful body, radiating dense Yin energy, suddenly appeared before him. With a raised hand, it broke the purple giant's spatial lock!

It turned out that as soon as he had thrown the small stone carving, he had already summoned his God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse.

"Oh? A God Transformation Realm puppet?"

"You're becoming even more interesting."

The purple giant smiled and flicked her finger.

The God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse was instantly sent flying backward!

Under her precisely controlled force, Jiang Fan was also sent tumbling backward, like a leaf caught in a strong gust of wind.

Then, the purple giant, still smiling playfully, vanished into thin air.

She perfectly embodied the hunting instincts inherited from her ancient giant lineage.

She would not stop until her prey ceased struggling.

Jiang Fan immediately sensed immense danger, his heart pounding furiously.

Yet, he didn't panic; instead, a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

He had already activated his Wind Source, constantly tracking the subtle shifts in the atmosphere.

When he detected an anomaly in the airflow around him, his eyes blazed. He immediately unleashed the hand seal he had already prepared, shouting,

"Seize her!"

At his command,

The God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse, which had been hurtling backward with him, suddenly moved.

It extended its arms, abruptly embracing the empty space beside Jiang Fan.

A purple cylindrical object was caught mid-flight in its embrace.

It was, astonishingly, the purple giant's ankle!

The smile on the purple giant's face shifted into a faint surprise. "You can actually track a Giant King's movements?"

The Giant King's powerful physique meant her speed surpassed even that of God Transformation Venerables from Middle-earth.

Calling it teleportation would not be an exaggeration; even God Transformation Venerables of the same rank might not be able to track her perfectly.

Yet Jiang Fan, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, had managed it!

What's more, he seemed to have been waiting for this precise moment!

"Oh? How interesting."

"And with your cultivation realm, you can actually control this God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse."

"However, a mere corpse cannot hold me."

She bent down, her massive hand grabbing the God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse, and casually tugged.

After all, it was just a corpse.

Before a true Venerable, it was inconsequential.

However,

The moment her hand brushed the God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse,

A large volume of ink-black liquid suddenly surged from the Yin Corpse's pores.

It was the Misty Demonic Liquid.

And it was all the demonic liquid that the Ginkgo Tree had given him.

Enough to fill a water vat!

This massive outpouring of Misty Demonic Liquid glued the purple giant's hand to the God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse.

Simultaneously,

the God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse was stuck fast to the purple giant's ankle.

"What exactly is this black liquid of yours?"

The purple giant frowned slightly, a hint of surprise on her face.

She had tried to break free,

but just like her right hand, which was still stuck, this liquid was incredibly bizarre and impossible to shake off!

This left her stuck in a bent-over position, her left hand glued to her left foot.

Her mobility was significantly hampered.

She raised her head, her massive vertical eye fixed on Jiang Fan. "So what if I'm short a hand and a foot?" she challenged.

"Catching you will still be effortless!"

She swept her right hand forward, her powerful finger energy tearing through the void, leaving trails of black lines as she lunged at Jiang Fan.

Four massive figures simultaneously flashed into existence.

They were the four Giant King Yin Corpses, converging around the purple giant, forming a cage to entrap her.

Once Jiang Fan made his move, he barely paused.

He continuously anticipated the purple giant's actions and set up his moves in advance.

The purple giant's palm strike landed on the waist of one of the Mist Giant Kings, instantly shattering it into two.

Upon realizing what it was, the purple giant's eyes turned cold.

"How dare you use our Giant Kings' corpses to craft puppets!"

"Little human, you have provoked the wrath of us ancient giants!"

Her playful demeanor vanished, replaced by anger.

Jiang Fan said nothing, swiftly moving to hide behind another Giant King.

He then silently manipulated the Misty Demonic Liquid, guiding it to spread from her hand across her entire body.

His goal was to completely immobilize her.

If successful, she would be completely powerless, at Jiang Fan's mercy.

The purple giant also sensed a faint danger.

She had initially thought him a mere plaything, but to her surprise, he was a hunter disguised as prey!

"You've made me angry!" the purple giant stated indifferently.

Before the demonic liquid could cover her entire body, she quickly flicked her fingers three times, determined to find and kill Jiang Fan.

This way, the demonic liquid on her body would stop spreading.

Under her incomparably powerful finger strikes,

Three of the Giant King Yin Corpses were either obliterated into flesh and bone fragments or sent hurtling away.

Jiang Fan, with no place left to hide, was exposed and about to make his move.

Suddenly, she noticed Jiang Fan holding a jade bottle in his left hand, containing a liquid that made her pupils contract sharply.

His right hand was already activating a spatial technique.

"The venom of the Dark Night Serpent?"

To most other beings, this venom was ordinary.

But for ancient giants, it was a deadly bane; once it entered their bodies, it would inevitably lead to death by poisoning!

A chill ran through her heart, and she finally recognized the true danger.

What made her heart race even faster was Jiang Fan's intention to use spatial teleportation to directly transfer the entire bottle of venom into her body!

She attempted to evade.

But the God Transformation Realm Yin Corpse held her fast, making it impossible to teleport away.

Gritting her teeth, she decisively raised her free right hand and savagely slashed at the spot where her left hand and ankle were stuck.

*Splurt!*

Bone fragments flew, and flesh splattered.

The purple giant, with shocking brutality, severed her own hand and foot to escape the Misty Demonic Liquid.

She then instantly teleported away,

barely escaping.

At the precise spot where she had been, a ripple of spatial fluctuation appeared, followed by a cloud of snake venom!

Jiang Fan's expression changed.

This female giant was truly ruthless!

He decisively recalled the snake venom. Tracking the airflow, he detected that the purple giant had teleported a short distance away.

Her massive vertical eye was filled with agony, yet she endured the pain to activate her Source.

That miraculous scene reappeared!

Her severed hand and foot were completely restored, as if nothing had happened!

It was as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Fan felt a pang of despair.

How was he supposed to fight this?

The pain on the purple giant's face receded. She touched her forehead, where her Source power now appeared significantly dimmer.

A cold glint appeared in her eyes.

"A mere Nascent Soul human has forced me to use my Source twice."

"An ordinary Giant King would have been severely wounded or captured by you."

"I truly want to know, are all Nascent Soul cultivators in Middle-earth as formidable as you?"

By now, the purple giant no longer held any disdain for Jiang Fan.

Only caution remained.

And a murderous intent!

This human poses a considerable threat to the ancient giants.

He must be eliminated!

"In Middle-earth, I am merely an unknown junior," Jiang Fan replied. "There are countless people far more powerful than I am!"

"If you ancient giants dare to come, you won't leave alive!"

The purple giant's eyes darkened. "I think it's *you* who shouldn't expect to return, isn't it?"

"Aren't you curious about my Source?"

"Then I shall let you experience the power of the Celestial Realm's foremost Source!"

The pale blue star on her forehead began to spin once more!

This time, it was directed straight at Jiang Fan!
