Chapter 562: 470 Enemy Annihilation (No More Today)_1

A Nascent Soul flew out of its body, and a silver charm flashing with light descended from the skies, attaching to the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul’s gaze became dull, and it was collected by the Yellow Giant Ape into a green jade box.

From the moment Shen Long broke through the formation to killing Bian Xiao, not even ten breaths had passed.

"This is impossible!"

Duanmu Xi’s face turned pale with shock, his body emitting a great demonic radiance.

A loud bell sound rang out, as if a long knife had slashed upon his Divine Soul.

Duanmu Xi’s eyebrows knitted tightly together, his body trembling slightly.

The sound of sword chants resonated loudly, and two green flying swords, sparkling with Spiritual Light, shot forward, reaching Duanmu Xi in an instant.

Duanmu Xi hastily formed a spell, and a long saber shrouded in Demonic Qi surged with light, rising to meet them.

With two "clang" sounds, the two flying swords were repelled.

Ripples formed in the void above Duanmu Xi’s head, and a huge yellow beast paw emerged, slamming down towards him.

His reaction was swift; his right hand shone with black light as he faced the strike.

The yellow paw collided with Duanmu Xi’s hand, sending Duanmu Xi crashing swiftly towards the ground while a powerful gravity emanated from the earth beneath him.

The Yellow Giant Ape charged over, the ground shaking violently, creating deep, long fissures.

Duanmu Xi raised his right hand, throwing out a black charm shimmering with light.

With a thunderous boom, the black talisman exploded, turning into a giant sphere of black lightning that enveloped a dozen or so miles around, with rolling blast waves.

The ground beneath Duanmu Xi split apart, and a Yellow Giant Ape burst from the soil, smoke rising off its body, and faint traces of blood visible.

"To withstand a fifth-level Profound Yin Thunder Talisman!"

Duanmu Xi’s face was full of disbelief.

The Yellow Giant Ape swung its fists, smashing towards Duanmu Xi, who had no avenue for escape. His body shined with black light, and large amounts of black mane grew out of him.

The two fists collided, and Duanmu Xi’s body flew back like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into the ground.

His face turned beet red as he spouted a large mouthful of Essence Blood.

A green rainbow shot towards him, reaching Duanmu Xi almost instantly.

Duanmu Xi’s body shone with black light, and as he threw a punch, it collided with the green rainbow.

With a "clang," the green rainbow was repelled, leaving a clearly visible bloody trace on Duanmu Xi’s right fist, with three fingers broken.

The Yellow Giant Bear charged over, its right claw swiping at Duanmu Xi.

Undaunted, Duanmu Xi’s right fist radiated black light as he met the attack head-on.

With a "bang," the Yellow Giant Bear was sent retreating dozens of steps back.

Astonishment filled its eyes; it had thought its opponent was weak, not realizing that it was Shen Long’s strength that was so formidable.

The ground near Duanmu Xi tore open, and the Yellow Giant Ape emerged, punching out and smashing towards Duanmu Xi.

Unafraid, Duanmu Xi’s body blazed with black light, meeting the punch head-on.

As the two fists collided, Duanmu Xi’s body sank into the ground, vomiting a large mouthful of fresh blood.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s fists pounded down relentlessly onto Duanmu Xi’s head, smashing it into a pulp.

A Nascent Soul flew out of the body, and the Yellow Giant Ape’s right hand reached for it.

The Nascent Soul swelled rapidly, and after a loud bang, a hundred miles were engulfed in black light.

It wasn’t long before the black light dissipated, revealing the Yellow Giant Ape standing in a massive crater, with some faint bloodstains on its body, and nothing more.

Elsewhere, Qinglian Sword Venerable and others also dealt with Mu Jiaojiao, capturing her Nascent Soul.

With a flash of yellow light, the Yellow Giant Ape resumed the form of Shen Long. He beckoned with one hand, and a storage bracelet, flickering with black light, flew out from the minced flesh, landing in his hand.

"We owe it all to Taoist Friend Shen; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to kill them."

Qinglian Sword Venerable said with a smile.

If it weren’t for Shen Long breaking the formation with the quickest speed, they might have met with a grim fate.

Wu Xiao witnessed the entire battle process, his eyes filled with wariness.

He now understood why Shen Long could represent the Human Clan.

With Shen Long’s strength, he indeed had the qualification, and when it came to the Art of Transformation, Shen Long was clearly more formidable than Sun Shan.

"Are the bodies of Demon Race Cultivators so powerful? Even using the Art of Transformation, I can’t compare, I understand now the gap between Taoist Friend Shen and myself,"

Sun Shan said with a bitter smile.

When he used the Art of Transformation to compete in physical strength with Duanmu Xi, Duanmu Xi had the upper hand. Duanmu Xi, when compared with Shen Long in terms of physical prowess, was overwhelmingly defeated by Shen Long.

Shen Long looked towards Wu Xiao and said, "Taoist Friend Wu, it wasn’t you who left the oath on the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Tome that day, right? You’ve betrayed the Demon Race, it’s impossible not to suffer the backlash from the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Tome."

Putting himself in the other’s shoes, Shen Long wouldn’t dare to gamble on not suffering such backlash if he left an oath on the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Tome.

Mo Wuya and the others all turned their gaze toward Wu Xiao; they had also thought of this before but hadn’t clarified it, fearing that Wu Xiao would have second thoughts. Now that Duanmu Xi and his two companions were dealt with, it was imperative to get answers.

"You’ve been suspecting this all along?"

Wu Xiao asked with furrowed brows.

"If you truly left an oath on the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Tome, you couldn’t possibly refuse to serve the Demon Race and even less so, betray them,"

Mo Wuya said solemnly.

Wu Xiao raised his right hand, and a talisman flickering with golden light shot out. After inputting a spell, the talisman shone brightly in gold and morphed into a figure of Wu Xiao, indistinguishable in aura.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense opened wide, but there was no difference between the two Wu Xiaos.

"What is this Secret Talisman?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"Puppet Armor Talisman! It can create another self, a true duplicate. Our Barbarian Tribe has a long heritage. Though now in decline, we still have some nice things,"

Wu Xiao said indifferently.

If he didn’t show some strength, the Human Cultivators might just kill him.

"Can he spit out Essence Blood to leave an oath?"

Qi Xiao asked with furrowed brows.

"Of course not, that was the Essence Blood of a deceased tribesperson. The Essence Blood on the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Tome isn’t mine at all, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare risk the backlash to help you. You Human Clan are really cunning. You clearly suspected me but didn’t seek clarification, waiting until after dealing with the Demon Race to ask."

Wu Xiao spoke with a dark expression.

Shen Long took out Bian Xiao’s Nascent Soul and performed a Soul Search.

"Huangfu Lou comes from the Netherworld, and besides him, there are two other Demon Race Cultivators. They are searching for the whereabouts of other Soul Transformation Cultivators,"

Shen Long said with a frown.

"Let’s first destroy that spatial node, round up the Demon Race Cultivators, and cut off their retreat. The remaining three Soul Transformation Cultivators won’t be able to escape,"

Mo Wuya suggested.

"Taoist Friend Wu, at this juncture, you won’t stand by and do nothing, will you?"

Qi Xiao said with a frown.

"If you don’t pitch in, we’ll find it hard to trust you,"

Qinglian Sword Venerable said meaningfully.

"Don’t worry, with your strength being so formidable, I’m willing to help. However, we still need to seal the news. I’ll find an opportunity to approach Huangfu Lou,"

Wu Xiao said.

"Inside the Dark Demon Realm, there are several factions. The four from Duanmu, including Duanmu Xi, come from three different factions. Taishi Jin is a Demon Race Cultivator from tens of thousands of years ago who seized a body to rebuild himself. If we deal with them, the Demon Race from the Dark Demon Realm may not invade the Qianyang Realm again,"

Shen Long said.

The factions of the Demon Race within the Dark Demon Realm aren’t united, each governing their own. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just four Soul Transformation Cultivators like Duanmu Xi coming over.

"Let’s split up and take action! I’ll stay with Taoist Friend Wang in the Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea. You go find the Demon Race Cultivators. If you get any news about them, don’t act rashly. Try to inform the other Taoist Friends as much as possible, and let’s all move together,"

Mo Wuya said.

Shen Long and the five others had no objections, agreed, and left the place.
