Chapter 60, Magic Fighter 3, is so cool!
Shen Du subconsciously loosened his grip slightly, but his other hand reached out again, and with a clatter, the longsword fell to the ground. He embraced Xu Xing with both arms, his head bowed, his expression unreadable, and murmured in a hoarse voice, "You...don't die..."
The scales on his skin gradually disappeared. Xu Xing rubbed his sore eyes and said blankly, "Senior brother, I'm fine."
She had never felt so energetic. She didn't know what kind of pill the phantom had given her, but Xu Xing felt full of power. He felt that if he put her down now, she could immediately refine a fourth-grade pill!
Noticing that her senior brother's emotions were a bit off, Xu Xing knew that her sudden loss of consciousness must have frightened him. She patted Shen Du's broad shoulders reassuringly, "This pill must be a good thing, it's just that I couldn't withstand such a huge power for a while. Don't worry, senior brother, I'm fine now."
"Don't believe me? Look!" Xu Xing said, clenching her right fist and bending her forearm inward, striking a powerful pose, but she didn't notice that Shen Du's gaze was becoming increasingly deep as she watched him.
The surging emotions in his chest had not yet subsided, and for the first time, he didn't want to suppress his overflowing feelings. Chen Du finally spoke, "I..."
"Quick! Senior brother, put me down! I need to refine pills!"
Xu Xing turned to look at the alchemy furnace beside him, already impatient, ignoring Shen Du's hesitant words.
"..."
Shen Du pursed his thin lips slightly and gently placed the girl in his arms on the ground as instructed.
Seeing Xu Xing rush off to refine pills, Chen Du's gaze softened. But when he looked at the dazed female phantom again, his expression returned to its usual indifference, and he said coldly, "Why has her cultivation level hardly changed?"
After Xu Xing awoke, her dantian was once again infused with vitality, and the spiritual energy surrounding her was vast and abundant. However, very little of it actually entered her body, as if she should have broken through in one fell swoop, but her spiritual power was blocked from entering...
Shen Du dared not consider the possibility that Xu Xing had a defect in his own body, preferring to suspect that it was a problem with the pill. However, the illusory figure looked at Xu Xing with a very confused gaze, and its consciousness seemed to have turned into chaos again, so it could not tell him the answer.
Humans, demons, monsters, ghosts, and beasts—all races are born with spiritual energy and can cultivate. They can absorb spiritual energy, but only one type can store some spiritual energy but cannot use it to nourish itself: man-made objects, such as…
puppet.
Although Xu Xing herself hadn't absorbed much spiritual energy and her cultivation level was fluctuating around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy she could draw upon around her was real. Fearing it would disappear too quickly, she took out her alchemy furnace and, together with the Azure Feather Heavenly Fire Furnace, used both furnaces simultaneously to refine pills.
A phantom floated beside her, watching her swift and precise movements as she processed the spiritual herbs and medicines. She tossed the leaves into the alchemy furnace on the left and the roots into the furnace on the right, and even managed to adjust the intensity of the spiritual fire according to the degree of refining of the medicinal liquid.
Her movements were swift, skillful, and methodical, full of indescribable beauty. It was as if the alchemy steps that any alchemist would have to hold their breath and treat with utmost care were nothing more than casual creations in her eyes.
Look, she even hummed a strange tune because the alchemy process went smoothly, as if she were playing a game with complete ease.
The illusory figure had somehow appeared beside her, squatting down and propping its head up to observe intently, even exclaiming in amazement, "So the Nine Star Illusion Branch can be used like this..."
Being praised by a master alchemist made Xu Xing feel a little guilty. She didn't know anything about alchemy. It was all because the recipe in the [Medical Skill] skill not only clearly listed the amount of each material, but also provided alternative materials based on the existing inventory in her backpack. So she didn't need to think too much. She could refine according to the skill and never make a mistake.
However, after so many years of alchemy, Xu Xing no longer needs to look at recipes. She knows the methods for making most common pills by heart. Because she can make pills very quickly and with excellent quality, she can achieve the effect that others might not be able to achieve even after making five or six batches of pills. Her ten years of alchemy experience is probably something that an ordinary alchemist cannot achieve even in fifty years.
But these were all benefits brought by skills, almost like cheating. Xu Xing didn't think it was his own achievement, nor did he think he was better than other alchemists. Looking at the illusory figure staring at the alchemy furnace with fascination, Xu Xing suddenly remembered, "By the way, what kind of pill did you just give me? I've never seen it before."
Upon hearing this, Shen Du also looked over, wondering if this remnant soul, who always pretended to be stupid, would tell the truth.
The illusory figure remained rooted to the spot. For some reason, Xu Xing could sense a hint of embarrassment in its blurred face. It stammered a couple of times, swayed left and right, and whispered, "I don't know either. I stole it from the tiger's den. But the potency is so poor. It's probably that old bastard Rong Jun who made it."
What?! She's already able to refine fourth-tier pills at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the efficacy of these pills is lacking?
Xu Xing, who was about to praise the remarkable effect but was completely unaware that he should have become a Nascent Soul cultivator in one step, could only swallow his praise silently after hearing what the illusory figure said.
Well, in the eyes of a ninth-level alchemy master, this kind of pill is probably everywhere and nothing surprising.
Seeing that it was already evening, Xu Xing didn't delay any longer. He put away the alchemy furnace and headed towards the volcano with Shen Du. The phantom image once again turned into the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.
With several fourth-tier pills in her hands, Xu Xing felt even more confident. It was a pity that she was currently in the secret realm, and the time and place were not suitable, otherwise she could have refined a few more.
When Xu Xing met Yuan Li at the agreed place, he noticed that her expression was a little different. She seemed to be very confident. Could it be that she had really found Wei Shengyue's remnant soul?
Gently touching the corner of his eye, Xu Xing seemed to be deep in thought. The appearance of Wei Shengyue's Guixu Secret Realm in Tanxu was no accident. If she had been able to make such arrangements back then, who knows if she could have left a way to prevent Rong Jun from using her remnant soul technique?
Shen Du glanced behind Yuan Li and said, "General Yuan has gained quite a few more subordinates."
She had only five demon soldiers with her initially, but now there are twelve.
Mentioning this, Yuan Li said irritably, "Cultivators from the snake and deer clans have entered. Zhi Yan sent a message instructing me to lead demon soldiers to ambush the demon clan on the way to the volcano."
Dealing with the demon race will inevitably result in losses, and we may not be able to defeat Zhi Yan. He clearly wants Yuan Li to lead the charge, he deserves to die!
Snake tribe, deer tribe?
Yes, they can't let the Tiger Clan dominate.
However, Mei Zihan and Qianqian are currently still pretending to be demons in the volcano. Under the very noses of the demons, they cannot use the communication beads to send messages to each other. If the demon general named Zhiyan has already gone to the volcano, they may be in danger of their identities being exposed.
"It's normal that General Yuan is unable to reach the volcano in time because he went to search for the remnant soul. Why don't we go back to the volcano first to check the situation? If anything is wrong, we can send a message in time."
Yuan Li looked at Chen Du, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "It would be even better if the two of you could take this opportunity to contaminate the meat medicine with demonic blood."
Seeing Shen Du leave with Xu Xing, Yuan Li suddenly asked, "Is this young lady an alchemist?"
Xu Xing paused.
Yuan Li laughed, "Don't worry, I always keep my word and won't expose your identity. However, Zhi Yan has the spiritual energy of all the alchemists who entered the volcano, so you should be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, General Yuan."
"General, are we just going to let them go like this? Human cultivators are the least trustworthy," a demon soldier whispered a reminder.
"Do you really think I'm cooperating sincerely? I'm just using them to trick Zhi Yan. If Rong Jun finds out that the people who targeted those meat drugs were Zhi Yan's demon soldiers, his expression will be quite interesting."
Yuan Li sneered, "They already have a hard time escaping by daring to impersonate demons. If they betray me as well, they will definitely not leave the secret realm alive. But I am curious about what they are planning to do. I have Dark Owl keep an eye on them."
Just as Zhi Yan planted spies on her side, Huoshan also had Yuan Li's hidden spies.
On the other side, a group composed of several snake clans, deer clans, and other demon clans had approached the volcanic area.
"Have some water. Don't be afraid. Once we find out the purpose of the demons' exploration of the Ruins, we will take you out."
A strikingly beautiful female cultivator bent down and handed a pot of water to the boy at the back of the group.
This female cultivator was named Na Yun. She came from the Deer Clan and was gentle and kind-looking, which is why she took on the task of taking care of the boy.
They rescued the wolf boy from the demons when they arrived near the Exploration Realm, but the demons had escaped. No matter what they asked, the boy remained silent and simply followed them into the Exploration Realm. To this day, Yun only knows that his name is Ahao.
"I'm not going out, I need to find my older sister."
The wolf boy, who had never uttered a single word, suddenly spoke.
"Sister? You have an older sister? Is she also in the secret realm?" Na Yun hurriedly asked, but Ahao, holding the water bottle, lowered his head and refused to speak.
"Sister Yun, the High Priest requests your presence."
When someone from her tribe came to call her, Na Yun had no choice but to temporarily put aside the matter of the wolf boy and go over.
The Deer Clan is different from the Snake, Tiger, and other demon clans. They do not have a Deer King. The entire Deer Clan is led by a High Priest and a Junior Priest. The Junior Priest who entered the Ruins of Exploration this time is named Tian Li.
Dressed in white robes, Tian Li had exquisite features and clear, gentle eyes that were captivating. He seemed otherworldly as he walked among the already exceptionally beautiful demons.
He glanced at the end of the line and said gently, "That boy has a rather unusual physique. Perhaps he was abandoned by the wolf clan. Now that we've saved him, let's find his sister after this is all over."
"yes."
Na Yun wasn't curious about how Tian Li knew about her conversation with A Hao. In the eyes of all the Deer Clan, the two priests were knowledgeable about Yin and Yang and knew everything.
"Your Highness, has the Tiger Clan truly colluded with the Demon Clan?"
As they got closer to the volcano, Na Yun couldn't help but ask. This news was originally revealed by the snake clan, but the fact that the junior priest personally took action was still a great surprise to Na Yun and the other deer clan members. This was the first time the junior priest had left the temple!
Upon hearing this, Yunxi, a female cultivator from the snake clan, interjected, "Our king personally gave the order, how could it be false?"
Xiang Yuquan, who was mixed in with the demons, stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Everyone, my fellow disciples are trapped in the demon's lair. If we fight against the demons later, please do not harm any human cultivators by mistake."
Na Yun readily agreed, "Don't worry, the human cultivators have no grudge against us. They were just dragged into this. We will naturally protect you."
As soon as they entered the secret realm, they encountered a cultivator who claimed to be from the Jade Cloud Sect of the Eastern Pole. He said he wanted to save his fellow disciples and was willing to guide them. He also confirmed that the Tiger Clan and the Demon Clan had a connection.
Yunxi pouted, "Are the Deer Clan really that careless? They trust just any cultivator. I bet they'll be sold out without even realizing it."
The snake clan and the deer clan had a good relationship a few years ago, but after hearing that the deer clan's high priest also harbored ambitions to compete for the Demon King, the relationship between the two clans cooled somewhat. However, when it comes to the tiger clan, they are naturally on the same side.
Na Yun was somewhat displeased upon hearing this, "What are you saying? Saving your princess still depends on the efforts of our High Priest."
Yunxi raised her chin. "Isn't this what should be done?"
Indeed, the reason why the snake clan arrived at the Exploration Realm so quickly was because the snake king, Shengqing, received news that the princess who had disappeared for many years had appeared in the Exploration Realm. Although it was unknown whether it was true or not, this matter was of great importance. The snake clan, which was the furthest away, immediately summoned the surrounding clansmen who met the requirements to join forces with the deer clan to enter the Exploration Realm together to investigate the truth.
As for the fact that the Deer Clan sent their Junior High Priest Tian Li to personally take charge, the Snake Clan was very satisfied, which showed the Deer Clan's high regard for the princess.
Back when the snake and deer were still very close, the snake king arranged a marriage between his unborn daughter and the deer clan's junior priest. If the princess hadn't been stolen by the dragon clan and disappeared for many years, she would be eighteen years old this year, just the right time to fulfill the marriage agreement...
It was indeed only right for the High Priest to save his fiancée, and Na Yun, though momentarily speechless, was still somewhat unconvinced.
So many years have passed, who knows what that princess looks like now? Although most of the demons are beautiful, and the snake clan is even more outstanding, in Na Yun's opinion, no one in this world is worthy of the young priest who is like a god descended to earth!
As the two girls bickered, the volcano came into view.
Tian Li suddenly stopped, looking towards the volcano. He slightly raised his right hand, made a gesture, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "They're here."
Then, the wind stopped—
Na Yun, Yun Xi, and the other demons held their breath and picked up their magical artifacts to be on guard.
Suddenly, nearly twenty demonic cultivators rushed out from the shadows, their surging demonic energy blotting out the sky and enveloping the group of dozens of demons!
Na Yun's pupils contracted, and she shouted, "Demonic attack!"
...
"Rong Ke is really generous! He actually sent over a dozen puppet demons, they're very useful."
Zhi Yan looked at the faint demonic aura in the distance. He was in a good mood, as he could gain merit without losing any manpower. However, Rong Jun's ruthlessness still surprised him. He could even turn his own kin into puppets. This behavior was quite like that of the demons.
Fu Shen stared coldly at him, "Watch your words! Don't forget the agreement: in front of the demon race, you must not reveal that the tiger race was also involved in this matter! And you must not mention the Lord's name!"
"I know!" Zhi Yan waved his hand impatiently. The demon race is just as troublesome as the human race. They do bad things and then try to hide them. Cooperating with the demon race is just a way to pin the blame for harming their own kind on the demon race.
Zhi Yan understood, and Qiong Cang understood too, but so what? The Demon Clan already had a bad reputation. As long as they could obtain the Tiger Clan's magic treasure, they didn't care about adding another crime of wreaking havoc on the Demon Realm.
"We still need twelve more spirit bodies. We'll have enough meat for the medicine by tomorrow. Let Rong Jun wait and prepare to refine the pills."
Fu Shen glanced at the volcano poised to erupt, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. "Is there any trace of the remnant soul?"
"Yuan Li will be back soon. Although I've never liked her, her nose is incredibly sharp. She's probably found it already," Zhi Yan thought to himself. Given her usual efficiency, she couldn't possibly be this slow. She's deliberately stalling for time.
However, this was ultimately a power struggle between him and Yuan Li, and Zhi Yan wouldn't bring it up openly, nor would he tell Fu Shen, lest the Tiger Clan laugh at him.
Fu Shen was somewhat skeptical. Even the Venerable One who controlled the secret realm couldn't find the whereabouts of the remnant soul, yet a demon woman found it so quickly?
However, since Rong Jun himself had entrusted this matter to the Demon Clan, he couldn't say anything.
Mei Zihan and Qianqian stood inconspicuously behind the group of demon soldiers, initially failing to attract Zhi Yan's attention. However, the sudden appearance of Fu Shen confirmed to him that the collusion between the Tiger Clan and the Demon Clan was indeed undeniable.
However, this is a bit troublesome. The Tiger Clan has suddenly increased their vigilance, making it not so easy for them to take away these trapped cultivators. Fortunately, the alchemists have begun to slowly recover their cultivation after taking the antidote. When everyone works together, they can fight back.
Mei Zihan's gaze occasionally swept over the group of cultivators who appeared to be bound. His eyes paused for a moment, and he noticed that Chen Du and Xu Xing's fellow disciple was making some subtle movements. Judging from his expression, it seemed as if he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
This is bad. Not to mention that there are so many demons here that he can't escape, if he acts rashly and ruins the plan, then it will be terrible.
Li Yuan originally thought that Xu Xing could save him, but after being summoned by the demons, he never returned. He didn't know if his identity had been exposed. Since Xu Xing was too busy to take care of himself, he could only try to get away first. Perhaps Xu Xing was now waiting for him to save him!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan boldly tried to save himself. After recovering some of his spiritual energy, he quietly reached into a hidden spot on the inside of his arm, where there was a storage mechanism containing enough high-level magical artifacts to save his life.
"Report—"
A demonic cultivator, covered in blood, rushed over, shouting, "The demon race came with overwhelming force! We were no match for them, and all our brothers have been captured!"
"What?!" Zhi Yan suddenly stood up, incredulous. Although the main force consisted of those dozen or so puppets, he had also sent out four Golden Core Demon Soldiers, and only one of them had escaped?!
"Didn't you say there were only five Golden Core cultivators in this group of demons?! You dare to play me?!"
Fu Shen said sternly, "Calm down! We are one in this secret realm, what benefit would I gain from harming you or me?!"
This is indeed strange. Rong Jun determined that there were five Golden Core cultivators after scanning them with his divine sense. Based on the number of people they sent out, there shouldn't be any failures, unless...
Fu Shen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Deer Clan had produced a junior priest who was said to have inherited the power of the ancient deer spirit. Could it be him?
However, even if the Deer Clan's Junior High Priest himself came, his cultivation level should not exceed the Golden Core stage. There is absolutely no way that a cultivator above the Golden Core stage could appear in the Exploring Ruins Secret Realm, because this is not a limitation of the Exploring Ruins Secret Realm, but rather the Returning Ruins Secret Realm!
The Venerable Lord personally transferred the restrictions of the Returning Void Secret Realm to the Exploring Void Secret Realm. That was the legacy of a ninth-level alchemist, so there was absolutely no way it could be wrong!
Fu Shen's mind raced. "Hold them off! I'll go report to the Lord!"
With a flash, he and several tiger clan members disappeared from the spot, leaving a group of demons looking at each other in bewilderment.
"General! What do we do?"
Faced with the demon soldiers' questioning, Zhi Yan looked at the group of bound and still unconscious cultivators with a stern face. They were originally meant to be used as medicine, but he couldn't care less about that now!
"Go, give them sleeping pills and make them fight off those demons."
If they were truly sent out to fight against the demon race, these cultivators would either die or be injured. Mei Zihan frowned, stepped forward first, and walked towards the cultivators, pretending to be going to feed them medicine.
Li Yuan's heart pounded. Had the demon race invaded? Most of the cultivators bound around him were human, but there were also a few demons. Could they have come to rescue them?
Mei Zihan deliberately dawdled for a while. Of course, he didn't have any sleeping pills; he just fed him ordinary spirit-gathering pills.
Zhi Yan hadn't been paying attention to this side at first, his gloomy gaze occasionally sweeping over the alchemists, as if he were pondering something. When he saw one of the alchemists subconsciously taking out his natal spirit fire to refine something, Zhi Yan's gaze paused, and he instantly turned to look at Mei Zihan, shouting angrily, "Take him down!"
These alchemists had all lost their spiritual power and could only use the ground array to refine pills. The spiritual fire was also provided by the Tiger Clan. The fact that this alchemist could use his own spiritual fire now clearly meant that he had recovered his spiritual power!
"Senior Brother, be careful!" Seeing the demonic cultivator make a move, Qianqian didn't care about hiding her identity and flew up to block the attack for Mei Zihan.
"Good! Good! You actually managed to sneak in! If word gets out, how will I ever face returning to the Demon Realm! Kill them all!"
Although Mei Zihan was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he was no match for so many demonic cultivators. He covered Qianqian and tried his best to resist. At this time, the alchemists also put down their spiritual herbs and came over to help.
Only then did Li Yuan realize that these two people had also come to rescue them. He immediately took out his magical artifact and joined forces to resist the demon's attack.
"Hmph! If we can get you once, we'll do it again!"
Zhi Yan snorted coldly and released several streams of black mist with one hand. The black mist seemed to have a physical form, and countless tiny black insects that were difficult to see with the naked eye were churning inside.
Mei Zihan shouted a warning, "Watch out for the black fog!"
The demons were ruthless, and the alchemists and captured cultivators had not yet fully recovered their spiritual power. They also had to expend spiritual power to protect themselves from the black mist, so they were forced to retreat step by step and were gradually driven into one place by the demons' encirclement.
Li Yuan watched anxiously. He had recovered too little spiritual power. After activating the magic artifact once, he had no more spiritual power. However, to prevent accidents, the magic artifacts that his father had placed in the mechanism on his arm could only be activated by him!
In the end, it was Qianqian who took out the spirit shield bead given to her by Xu Xing to buy them some time.
"What kind of strange magical artifact is this? How come a new one rises up so quickly after being broken?" The demon cursed angrily after breaking the spirit shield several times in a row and watching a new spirit shield rise up every time.
Finally, it was only through the intervention of a Golden Core Peak Demon that the Spirit Shield Beads they continuously produced were completely destroyed.
Zhi Yan raised his hand, "Leave only the alchemist, kill the rest!"
Once the last twelve Purifying Spirit Pills are refined, these alchemists will become the new meat medicine!
Qianqian gritted her teeth, her pupils narrowed into thin black lines, and greenish-blue scales gradually covered her cheeks. Her spiritual power surged instantly, and she was about to break through with all her might to carve a bloody path for her senior brother when Mei Zihan suddenly grabbed her hand, stopping her from transforming into a demon. "Qianqian, you mustn't!"
"I……"
Qianqian's icy eyes, now transformed into a demonic form, looked at her senior brother. Just as she was about to shake off his hand, her pupils reflected two figures rushing towards her.
Several sword energies attacked from afar, instantly killing a peak Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. Shen Du's moves were fierce, and his killing intent was palpable as his sword light danced.
"This swordsman's sword energy is so powerful! General, I'm afraid we are no match for him!"
Several demon soldiers were swept away and barely managed to crawl to Zhiyan's side to ask for help.
Zhi Yan no longer held back, leaping forward to engage Chen Du in fierce combat.
Following closely behind, Xu Xing raised a spirit shield with one hand and threw several spirit shield beads, which were imbued with spirits, toward Mei Zihan with the other. Mei Zihan caught them and instantly raised a new shield. Seeing that there was help, Qianqian also stopped her demon transformation.
"..."
Having just destroyed several spirit shield beads, the Golden Core demons, who thought they had no more defensive artifacts to offer, actually felt a sense of retreat. Wait, is this ever going to end? Are these powerful shield artifacts some kind of common cabbage? How come they keep coming one after another?!
Zhi Yan was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator. He took a secret medicine to suppress his cultivation, which allowed him to lead the demon soldiers into the secret realm. Although his cultivation was suppressed to the peak of the Golden Core stage, he did not expect that his years of combat experience would not be enough to subdue even a sword cultivator in the early Golden Core stage in the first instance!
When did the sword cultivators outside become so powerful?!
Zhi Yan was unaware that Shen Du was still worried about Xu Xing's health and only wanted to finish the battle quickly so as to fulfill Fu Shuang's request and take Xu Xing into the Guixu Secret Realm. The relics of a ninth-level alchemist must contain a way to cure Xu Xing.
He had a vague suspicion that Fu Shuang had specially sent Xu Xing to the Demon Realm, perhaps to help her.
For this reason, Shen Du fought with all his might, his sword intent sharp and fierce.
With a thrust of his sword, Zhi Yan was unable to dodge in time and was slashed across the chest by Shen Du. The demon soldiers looked at him with disbelief as they saw their general being suppressed by a human cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
Having lost face in front of his subordinates, Zhi Yan was filled with rage. He bit his tongue, spitting out his own blood, and his skull whip shone with a brilliant black light. He roared, "How dare you, you brat?!"
Zhi Yan, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, had lived for many years without any trouble. With his full strength, Shen Du was unable to kill him in a short time, and the two were deadlocked for a while.
With the protection of the Spirit Shield Bead, Xu Xing gradually approached Mei Zihan and the others. At this moment, a Golden Core demon cultivator noticed that the magic weapon in her hand seemed unusual, so he took a detour and blocked her halfway.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The Golden Core Demon Cultivator looked at him with disdain and shattered the Spirit Shield Bead with a single strike. Before Xu Xing could set up a second barrier, he swung down heavily again.
Xu Xing neither dodged nor evaded. His protective armor flashed with spiritual light, deflecting the attack back. At the same time, Shen Du, who was entangled with Zhi Yan, noticed the situation and instantly unleashed three sword energies, which, together with the deflected attack, pierced through the unsuspecting Golden Core demon cultivator's body.
"Cough!" The Golden Core demonic cultivator vomited a mouthful of blood and immediately took a pill to stop the bleeding. He looked at Zhi Yan, his expression showing resentment for the first time. The general himself had taken action; could it be that he really couldn't subdue a sword cultivator in the early Golden Core stage?!
Zhi Yan, who had no words to express his suffering, was speechless.
How dare you even look at him? Don't you yourself couldn't even kill a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator? How could he have such a useless subordinate?!
Xu Xing noticed that Mei Zihan was gradually losing her strength. When she saw Li Yuan's figure, her eyes flickered, and she rummaged through her backpack, taking out the fourth-tier Thunderburst Bead.
She gave two instructions using the communication bead, and seeing Qianqian nod in their direction to confirm that they had received the message, Xu Xing took out all the water-type spirits from her backpack, activated all the demon spirits around her, and ignoring the white scales spreading across her body, she chose a direction and threw out the Thunderburst Bead, which contained a huge amount of energy, "Senior Brother!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Du had already leaped out, flying into the sky on his sword, shooting out countless golden sword beams. Zhi Yan quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.
"Boom—"
A tremendous explosion suddenly rang out, filling the sky with steam. Several bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, spreading in all directions along the direction of the sword light, illuminating the horrified faces of the demons.
Li Yuan was stunned. Did a fourth-tier Thunderburst Bead really have such power? How come he didn't know?
However, this move looks really familiar. Isn't it the same move that Xu Xing used to blow up the arena back then?!
As the thunder and fog dissipated, everyone's vision cleared again. They saw that the ground was littered with severed limbs and remains. Apart from a few Golden Core stage demons, all the other demons were dead, and the rest were also seriously injured.
The demons who arrived late were stunned to see this scene. Had the demon realm been sealed off for so many years, and the weapon refiners outside had developed to this extent?
Na Yun stared blankly at the striking white scales on the cheeks of the young female cultivator in the middle. Although she looked plain, but... but...
"So handsome! This must be our princess!"
Startled by Yunxi's words, Na Yunxin thought, "Although she is indeed the princess of the snake clan, she is also the fiancée of the junior priest of our deer clan!"
She blushed slightly and looked at the calm-looking Tian Li, hesitatingly saying, "Your fiancée, Your Highness, doesn't seem to need our help..."
