“Cry of the Demonic Shadow!”
The scholar killed a giant serpent. As the new Purple Qi Giant Serpents had not yet blocked the gap, he immediately unleashed his famous ultimate skill. Instantly, numerous black demonic shadows shot out from his body and pounced towards Li Yuxuan.
All of Li Yuxuan’s cultivation was being used to perform the powerful martial art, Ten Thousand Serpents Devour Souls.
Because of this, the situation became delicate.
The demonic shadows accurately struck Li Yuxuan.
But the surrounding Purple Qi Giant Serpents lost their agility. They didn’t know whether to attack or retreat, creating a chaotic mess.
“What can a mid-level martial skill do anyway?”
“In the face of absolute strength, even the most powerful force is just a passing cloud.”
The scholar sneered and struck a palm towards the crown of Li Yuxuan’s head.
Just as the scholar thought the scales of victory had tipped in his favor, Li Yuxuan, who he thought was immobilized, blinked at him.
“You weren’t affected by my Cry of the Demonic Shadow?”
Unfortunately, the response he received was a colossal axe. With one swing, it cleaved him in two.
Looking at the scholar who died with unclosed eyes, Li Yuxuan smiled and said, “I’m not a fool. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you practiced a martial art that affects the mind, so naturally I had to prepare a defense.”
The scholar’s ferocious gaze finally slowly closed.
Li Yuxuan directly cast the Great Devouring Art on his body.
He devoured surge after surge of powerful Primordial Qi that flowed from the scholar’s body into Li Yuxuan’s body.
“So comfortable!”
Under the impact of this Primordial Qi, Li Yuxuan’s bones crackled unceasingly.
After forty or fifty seconds!
Li Yuxuan let out a burp and expelled a mouthful of turbid air.
“As expected of a Martial Artist of the Ninth Heaven. The Primordial Qi contained within is truly ample.”
He controlled the Purple Qi Giant Serpents to collect the scholar’s remaining Spirit Artifact ruler and some scattered silver coins into his own Qiankun Bracelet.
After finishing all this, Li Yuxuan took a new look at the battlefield.
Corpses were now everywhere. The earlier battle at the outskirts must have been extremely fierce.
Up in the sky, White-Browed Guest and One-eyed Lingyun were still fighting. Their outcome was still undecided, but from the situation, it seemed White-Browed Guest was gradually falling behind.
Conversely, One-eyed Lingyun, having unleashed some ultimate skill, was fighting more and more ferociously.
“Xuanyu, you’re actually not dead?”
Chen Dao, now covered in wounds and having completely lost his former demeanor, was lying pathetically beside a rock not far from Li Yuxuan: “I told you, my premonition wasn’t wrong. If you won’t die, then following you, I definitely won’t die either, haha…!”
Seven or eight members of the Chen Family had already died.
Now, only Chen Lanmei and a few others remained, struggling to hold on.
Even Nie Rongtian had several wounds on his body. One slip, and he could be killed. Fortunately, the cultivation of the Lingyun Bandits was generally low, so everyone still had a bit of a chance to recover their strength.
Gathering his last bit of strength, Chen Dao came to Li Yuxuan’s side and said, “Xuanyu, I know you must have some way to escape from here. Will you take me with you?”
There were at least sixty or seventy Lingyun Bandits surrounding them now.
If they continued to be worn down like this, probably very few of the Chen Family members would survive.
Without answering Chen Dao, Li Yuxuan, while controlling the Purple Qi Giant Serpents to attack the surrounding Lingyun Bandits, walked towards Chen Lanmei.
Soon, Chen Lanmei was brought under Li Yuxuan’s protection.
“Quick… go save the others!”
“I don’t have that kind of free time.” Li Yuxuan stared at her and said, “Right now, we must break out immediately. Otherwise, when other bandits from Lingyun Valley discover the fight here, they will surely take advantage. By then, even if we win here, we’ll die at the hands of other bandits.”
“But…!”
“No buts. As long as we join Tianshan Sect and obtain high-level Martial Arts, we can come back any time to wipe out the bandits here.”
Chen Lanmei’s eyes dimmed for a moment, then she nodded.
“Follow closely behind me. Don’t wander too far, or I won’t be able to save you either.”
After saying this, Li Yuxuan stopped looking at Chen Lanmei.
He continued to control Ten Thousand Serpents Devour Souls, charging step by step towards the distance.
To increase the power, Li Yuxuan only kept one hundred Purple Qi Giant Serpents, using them to guard an area about ten meters around his body. Beyond that range, they couldn’t protect him. After all, Ten Thousand Serpents Devour Souls was only a Low-grade Martial Art with many limitations.
As soon as Chen Lanmei was protected by Li Yuxuan, Chen Dao followed right behind her, also entering Li Yuxuan’s protective circle.
This way, they just needed to attack a couple of times when they saw a chance, and they could catch their breath temporarily.
Following their example, the surrounding Chen Family members came over one after another.
In the sky, White-Browed Guest, locked in constant battle, had been keeping an eye on the situation below, which was why he was gradually falling behind. Now, seeing Li Yuxuan use a supreme martial art to turn defeat into victory, his heart relaxed considerably.
“Kid, catch these.” White-Browed Guest threw down pieces of tokens from the sky.
These tokens were the Inner Sect Disciple slots Tianshan Sect had granted to the Chen Family. With these tokens, Li Yuxuan and the others could enter Tianshan Sect for assessment and aptitude evaluation to become Inner Sect Disciples.
After securing the tokens, Li Yuxuan’s final worry was resolved, so he stopped hesitating.
Chen Lanmei glanced at White-Browed Guest and said, “White-Browed Guest seems unable to defeat that One-eyed Lingyun.”
“Is it right for us to just leave like this?”
“Haha, I believe White-Browed Guest is more than happy for us to leave now.” Chen Dao raised his sword-like eyebrows. “True Essence Ninth Heaven, that’s a level where one can fly. If White-Browed Guest wants to leave, One-eyed Lingyun has no way to stop him.”
“Correct!” Nie Rongtian agreed.
With their words, Chen Lanmei couldn’t say anything more.
At that moment, Li Yuxuan suddenly let out a long shout, killed a Martial Artist at the peak of True Essence Eighth Heaven who was blocking his path, and then shouted, “Go now! Don’t look back, and don’t stop!”
After shouting this, Li Yuxuan took the lead and rushed forward.
A breach had now appeared at the outer edge of the Lingyun Bandits’ encirclement. Everyone followed behind Li Yuxuan, scrambling to run towards the distance.
“I… I can’t go on… someone carry me for a bit…!”
Suddenly, a pampered young member of the Chen Family stopped, panting heavily as he looked at the people running ahead.
But at that very moment, a scythe of death mercilessly took his head.
“Kill! The boss said, if you kill one member of the Chen Family, you get a beautiful woman and five Primordial Energy Pills.”
