Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Terrifying Demon Cultivator

"Don’t think you can get away!"

Li Yuanba roared with excitement, his right hand swiftly casting out the Golden Giant Bird Hammer. The hammer’s speed was unbelievably fast, hurling it at a tremendous weight exceeding ten thousand pounds, its might no less formidable than a bullet train thundering at full speed.

Ye Xuan’s complexion changed, he quickly dodged, narrowly escaping Li Yuanba’s throw.

With a deafening crash!

The Golden Giant Bird Hammer directly shattered a small mountain on the opposite side of the river, its power so intense that the gusts it stirred made the surrounding forests sway wildly, the river churn tumultuously, and the heavily injured Zong Yan and Murong Xuan could only crawl on the ground, daring not to move.

Cold sweat streamed down Ye Xuan’s face as this was the first time he felt Li Yuanba’s strength from such a close distance.

"Who exactly are you? With such strength, you must contain ancient bloodlines in your body!"

Ye Xuan turned his head to ask Li Yuanba sternly. At this moment, being possessed by a demonic spirit, he could sense something different about Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba ignored him and charged at Ye Xuan once again.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but telepathically ask Roaring Sky Dog, "What’s wrong with him? His aura is insanely strong."

Ye Xuan, enveloped in demonic qi, gave him a sense of being invincible. This shocked Qin Jun. Could it be that this guy can transform?

Damn!

A Saiyan?

"He harbors a demon soul within him. It must be the soul of a Demonic Dao cultivator or the soul from the Devil Clan residing within his body. At this moment, the demon soul is dominating his body," Roaring Sky Dog explained telepathically.

Demon soul?

Qin Jun grew even more puzzled and continued to ask, "What’s the difference between a Demonic Dao cultivator and the Devil Clan?"

"Human Clan cultivators are divided into the Righteous Dao and Demonic Dao. The demons emerged during the birth of the Human Clan. Some Human Clan cultivators, after witnessing the power and savagery of the Devil Clan, imitated them and veered onto divergent paths. Demonic Dao cultivators progress faster in their cultivation than those of the Righteous Dao but easily lose their minds, becoming monsters that only know slaughter,"

Qin Jun suddenly realized. So that’s how Demonic Dao cultivators came to be, slightly different from the online Xianxia novels he had read in his previous life.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan and Li Yuanba were engaged in an intense battle.

Li Yuanba’s offensive was fierce, and Ye Xuan dared not take it head-on, repeatedly dodging instead. Their speed was so fast that one could hardly see them clearly. Most importantly, their momentum stirred up the clouds and summoned gales, leaving Qin Jun dumbstruck.

The mere possession by a demon soul had caused such a leap in combat power, it was truly terrifying!

Damn, if this guy had released the demon soul earlier, would he have been easily crushed by him?

However, he soon noticed that Ye Xuan’s body was continuously oozing blood, which was hard to see against the backdrop of the demonic qi.

"This lad will probably be gradually consumed by the demon soul and fall into the Demonic Dao," Roaring Sky Dog lamented with a shake of his head, which also explained why Ye Xuan could possess the Wolf King’s demon core.

Qin Jun’s eyes were opened to a whole new world, being possessed by a demon soul; quite the protagonist’s template!

Unfortunately for Qin Jun, he had access to a more abnormal cheat than the demon soul, which meant Ye Xuan was doomed not to be the protagonist.

"Damn it! I’m enraged!"

Li Yuanba bellowed in irritation. Following that, his pupils narrowed sharply, his fearsome aura soared dramatically, startling Ye Xuan so much that his complexion drastically changed, and he promptly tore a black gash in the air with both hands and quickly dived into it.

"Thinking of running away?"

The furious Li Yuanba was about to awaken his true Giant Bird form and annihilate Ye Xuan when Qin Jun urgently telepathically called out to him, "Yuanba! Don’t expose yourself! Keep calm!"

Although he was eager to witness the Giant Bird’s might, doing so within the magic artifact world could easily alert the Sword Sect’s elders. If discovered, the Sword Sect would certainly suspect him again, and his plan for the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition would fall through.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba had to suppress his anger, his gaze returning to normal, and he returned to Qin Jun’s side.

...

Dusk fell upon the Sword Sect’s branch manor.

Fei Yushu, dressed in a gray robe, sat sipping tea in the courtyard. Since he no longer doubted Qin Jun, he seldom monitored the events inside the magic artifact world as he had seen it countless times and knew all too well the ugliness that would ensue.

"I wonder how many contestants those two youngsters have eliminated by now."

Just at that moment, his expression abruptly changed. He hurriedly flipped over his right hand, and a blood-red lantern appeared in his palm. Just as he was about to take action, a shadow flew out from the lantern, growing larger and larger.

It was Ye Xuan.

With a click!

After returning to his normal size, Ye Xuan landed next to Fei Yushu, his demonic aura casting a dark shadow on Fei Yushu’s face.

"Demon cultivator!"

Fei Yushu voiced sternly, his mind instantly flashing to the recent slaughter at a branch of the Divine Sword Hall. Could it be the work of this demon cultivator in front of him?

If Qin Jun knew what he was thinking, he would surely burst into laughter.

Damn!

Blaming him like that?

"Hmph!"

Ye Xuan, nearly a bloodied man, glanced at Fei Yushu and then vanished into thin air, so quickly that Fei Yushu was caught off guard.

"The power of space, at least a demon lord of Immortal Realm or higher!"

Fei Yushu was soaked in a cold sweat, but he also noticed that the other was just in a demonic spirit state and his body was too weak; otherwise, he would have been dead by now.

"No way! I have to send this news up!"

Fei Yushu thought determinedly, his teeth clenched. As for capturing Ye Xuan, he couldn’t even sense Ye Xuan’s demonic aura, how could he capture him?

...

Inside the magical treasure world.

By the river bank, Qin Jun took Zhu Yanqing’s hand and scolded her with concern, "See, I told you to come with me. You wouldn’t listen, saying you could rely on yourself, and you almost lost your life!"

Zhu Yanqing’s face turned slightly unnatural, instinctively trying to pull her hand back, but Qin Jun firmly held on to it, pretending to be educating her while taking advantage.

"I don’t care, from now on, you’re following me!"

Qin Jun chuckled, and Zhu Yanqing wanted to refuse, but deep down, a sweet feeling blossomed.

He then glanced around at the corpses strewn about and said, "Let’s go, this place isn’t clean!"

"What about them?" Zhu Yanqing asked, looking towards Zong Yan and Murong Xuan lying on the ground.

Qin Jun shrugged, "Either they crush the wooden token, or they just wait to die!"

He had no intentions of burdening himself with two wounded.

Zhu Yanqing didn’t plead any further; in her view, with the strength of Murong Xuan and Zong Yan, it was already difficult for them to get through the city trials. She also thoroughly disliked those who were weak and needed help.

And so, the group prepared to leave.

"Save... me..."

Mo Yu, who had been cut in half at the waist, pleaded weakly to Qin Jun, his current pain numbing him.

Qin Jun flashed him a radiant smile, then pulled out the Desert Eagle and ended his life with a bang.

Trash!

To dare to covet my woman and then beg for mercy!

"Let’s go!"

Qin Jun put away the Desert Eagle and said with a smile, leaving Zong Yan and Murong Xuan lying on the ground, hesitating to say anything. In the end, they did not cast aside their dignity to beg Qin Jun.

After they had left, the two struggled to take out their wooden tokens.

"For the next few decades, let’s just focus on diligent cultivation," Murong Xuan said with a wry smile. Zong Yan remained silent, yet in agreement with the proposal in his heart.

Today’s events made them truly realize their own weakness. Perhaps they could thrive in Wuqi Kingdom, but within the Nanzhuo Dynasty, they were as fragile as ants.
