Lu Huanxiu felt intense pain all over his body, and the scene in front of him returned to normal. A terrifying saber scar that was so deep that bones could be seen appeared on his chest.
As for Lu Huanxiu, he was only at the edge of the saber qi attack. However, he was the weakest of the three, so he was severely injured at the first moment.
Zheng Xingui, who was closest to Han Zhao, was in the center of the saber qi. He felt like he was in a saber mountain.
The evil aura of the world seemed to converge on this saber, and countless saber qi struck his body.
The golden brush in his hand only had time to write the word ‘defend’ before his arms and legs were severed by the saber qi. The brush fell with his arms.
“Pfft!”
As for Xing Chen, who was the strongest, his Indestructible Black Snake was only cut in half. The green robe on his chest was cut open by the saber qi, revealing his dark skin.
“Ah! My hand?!” Zheng Xingui screamed. The Binding Force in his body was constantly trying to recover his arm, but he realized that an extremely strange Saber Qi was constantly encircling his Binding Force, preventing him from recovering from his injuries.
“What an idiot. He can’t activate it at will before completely obtaining the recognition of the divine weapon.”
Looking at Zheng Xingui’s miserable state, Xing Chen did not pity him at all. She looked at Han Zhao with disdain.
“Looks like this is the ultimate technique of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Purgatory Style! It’s indeed powerful. However…”
‘Your realm is too low, and I’m not afraid of illusions. Moreover, you should have sensed it after dragging it out for so long, right?”
Xing Chen looked at Han Zhao teasingly.
“Are you talking about poisoning?” Han Zhao looked at him calmly.
“You knew? You were prepared!” Xing Chen was shocked. Even He Wuji, who was at the Martial Saint Realm, could not withstand his poison. A Grandmaster Realm martial artist was actually fine until now.
“You’re not afraid of illusions. That’s good. I’m not afraid of poison either.” Han Zhao chuckled.
The powerful vitality brought about by the Longevity Technique and the special effect of the Muscle Regeneration made it extremely difficult for him to be poisoned. Moreover, he could expel the poison by speeding up the metabolism in his body. Basically, the poison entered his body and was expelled from his body.
“You actually used poison on a martial artist whose realm is lower than yours.
You’re the most stable demon I’ve ever seen.”
Han Zhao sheathed the Severing Karma Saber in his hand.
“Poison Immunity Body? Let’s see if you can really withstand it after I inject the poison into your body!” Xing Chen revealed a ruthless expression.
Crack! Crack! His body expanded rapidly like a balloon. His gorgeous green robe was torn apart by his bulging figure. His originally handsome and demonic face had completely transformed into a non-human state. A huge mouthpiece grew from his cheeks. His body seemed to be covered in a layer of black armor. A black scorpion tail that was about three meters long darted out from behind him. The curved hook at the tip flickered with a dark purple cold light.
Han Zhao slashed out with his saber, and countless scarlet saber qi shot out.
Chi chi chi chi chi!
Countless saber qi swept through the forest. Xing Chen looked at Han Zhao with a teasing expression. Her body stood on the spot without moving. The scorpion tail behind her was like a sharp whip that danced crazily in an irregular manner and easily shattered the terrifying saber qi that covered the sky.
“Wow!” Countless air currents spread in all directions. The biting cold wind blew Lu Huanxiu and Zheng Xingui, who were lying on the ground, until their bodies rolled and they collided heavily with the tree.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Xing Chen’s scorpion tail attacked nimbly and collided with Han Zhao’s Severing Karma Saber.
“Swish swish swish!” Hearing the sharp wind beside his ear, Han Zhao kept dodging and counterattacking.
“The body of a Snake-level demon is too terrifying!” Han Zhao was shocked. Jin Wuxin, who had perfected seven veins, was lacerated by his saber qi, but the Snake-level Xing Chen could withstand the attack of the Severing Karma Saber.
Every time they collided, Han Zhao felt the bones in his arm emit a violent friction sound. The strength was too great.
“What’s wrong?! Where’s your confidence just now?”
Xing Chen slowly walked towards Han Zhao. With just his scorpion tail, he forced Han Zhao to retreat step by step.
“Enough.” Han Zhao swept away the scorpion tail with his saber and muttered softly as he sheathed the saber in his hand.
The preparation time for the Withering Style was too long.
“You’re…” The smile on Xing Chen’s face froze because he suddenly realized that an extremely strange fluctuation came from the martial artist in front of him.
“This is… the Life and Death Nirvana Power! Withering Style?”
“This saber strike contains a lifespan of 400 years!” Han Zhao slowly drew his saber. The scarlet saber was completely covered in white light. As he drew his saber, something called life force quickly flowed out of his body.
“Stop!” Xing Chen panicked and actually turned around to run.
How could a Grandmaster Realm martial artist have 400 years of lifespan?
However, the Nirvana Power contained in the saber was real.
Where did this lunatic come from?
He wanted to perish together without warning!
“Die.” Han Zhao gently slashed out. A dazzling white light bloomed, illuminating the entire forest like the day.
“Lunatic! !” Xing Chen was furious. The defense of his body had already been
tempered to the extreme. However, he could not resist the white light that whistled over.
White light shone on his body, and his life force quickly depleted.
Xing Chen felt the vitality and energy in his entire body being forcefully extracted. His originally explosive demon body rapidly shrunk, his blood lost its vitality, his muscles lost their strength, and his internal organs aged rapidly.
In just a few breaths of time, he had gone from a great demon in his peak state to an old man about to die.
Clang!
The steel whip-like tail behind Xing Chen hung down weakly. Other than the sharp hook at the top, his entire body had completely lost its l.u.s.ter. In an instant, his body had walked for hundreds of years.
“How can I…” Xing Chen’s body was extremely weak.
However, looking at Han Zhao, who only had a wisp of white hair at his temples, his eyes suddenly widened.
“How can you…?
If the Nirvana Power wanted to hurt someone, it had to hurt itself first.
“Can a human like you surpa.s.s me in lifespan? That’s impossible!” Xing Chen reacted.
“400 years of lifespan! It’s not a small matter to me. You can be proud!” Han Zhao slashed out and cut off Xing Chen’s head.
Under the ravages of time, the Indestructible Black Snake on the surface of Xing Chen’s body had already disappeared. A casual slash killed him completely.
‘This person is considered strong even among Snake-level demons. This is the only way to defeat him without being injured’ , Han Zhao thought to himself.
Even if he broke through to the Martial Saint Realm and could use the Withering Style without consuming his lifespan, its power would probably not be as strong as now.
This Withering Style was simply a move that traded life for life. He had exhausted 400 years of his lifespan with a single slash. Xing Chen’s lifespan had been exhausted by the Nirvana Power for at least 200 years, so much so that a powerful demon like him instantly lost the ability to resist.
Han Zhao turned around to look for Lu Huanxiu and Zheng Xingui.
He realized that the two of them had already died under the Withering Style.
“What is the Numinous Treasure Light of this Essence Soul Bead? Who can tell me?”
Han Zhao looked at their corpses and couldn’t help but curse.
He had obtained the Essence Soul Bead in the simulation for so long, but he actually did not know.
Moreover, the Qi family did not say anything. He did not know if they did not say anything or if they did not know at all.
He could only slowly explore it in the simulation.
“It’s time for another happy harvest.” Han Zhao found a fist-sized black crystal from Xing Chen’s corpse.
“The Demon Crystal in the body of a Snake-level demon is indeed extraordinary.”
Sensing the extremely pure Yin energy in the Demon Crystal, he could not help but sigh.
Xing Chen’s powerful carapace had already softened. The only thing that was still active was his scorpion tail. Han Zhao carefully put it away and stored it in the Sumeru Pouch.
Then, he moved the things in Zheng Xingui’s Sumeru Pouch.
As for the ident.i.ty token that symbolized Zheng Xingui’s top 100 on the Qilin Ranking, Han Zhao did not take it out.
Initially, she only wanted to follow Lu Huanxiu to find Xing Chen’s location. She did not expect to kill Zheng Xingui along the way.
Then he could not expose his ident.i.ty. Otherwise, other than the Nine Nether Mansion, he would also provoke the Zheng family.
“After absorbing the flood dragon blood in Shangguan Lies body, can I return to my old job?”
Han Zhao thought to himself that with the Yin energy provided by Xing Chen, he could cultivate the Indestructible Vajra Divine Technique..
