As time slowly passed, for some reason, the attribute light spheres dropped by this demon were becoming fewer and fewer.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan had to increase the intensity of his pounding on the demon.
The demon, which had originally only been beaten into howling pitifully without any trend of destruction, couldn't help but slowly develop patches of cracks all over its body.
A large amount of foul blood continuously seeped out from the cracked body of the demon.
However, even so, the attribute light spheres dropped by the demon became fewer and fewer.
After just a short while, not a single one dropped anymore.
No matter how Sun Xuan increased his attack intensity on the demon, or even used hidden force to blast a transparent hole through its body,
there simply were no more attribute light spheres dropping.
[Name: Sun Xuan]
[Physique: 25.5]
[Soul: 20.8]
[Skills: Basic Pugilism (Mastered), Shattered Jade Palm (Transcendent / Transcendent Skill: Jade-Breaking Force), Evil Tendon Art (Transcendent / Transcendent Skill: Iron Fiend True Body)]
[Items: None]
[Status: Spirit Slave Locked…]
Compared to before, the strength of Sun Xuan's Physique and Soul had each increased by ten points.
After increasing by ten points, it completely stopped.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan furrowed his brows slightly, and couldn't help thinking to himself:
"It seems that everyone has a limit on the number of attribute light spheres they provide for oneself.
It's just that I don't know if this limit means they never drop again, or if there is a dropping limit within a certain period of time."
However, the current situation was obviously not the time to do experiments.
This conjecture could only be verified after having free time.
As a result, the attribute dropping machine in front of him was now of no use.
"It hurts so much… It hurts so much…"
The harsh and shrill screams continuously came from the demon's mouth, giving listeners a sense of fear that made their hair stand on end from the bottom of their hearts.
Listening to the demon crying out in pain over and over again, Sun Xuan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke:
"Be good, it won't hurt soon!"
Immediately afterwards, the jade-colored light on Sun Xuan's palm suddenly blazed brightly.
The moment the jade-colored light blazed, Sun Xuan suddenly clenched his palm into a fist, and then fiercely smashed a punch toward the demon in front of him.
"Jade-Breaking Force!"
Only a soft shout was heard from Sun Xuan's mouth.
The jade-colored light on his fist instantly formed a high-speed rotating vortex of jade light on his fist surface.
Then the jade light vortex, carrying an indestructible crushing and destructive force, fiercely slammed into the demon's chest.
"Boom!"
Hearing a thunderous roar, the demon in front of him was instantly stirred into a pile of debris under the bombardment of the Jade-Breaking Force.
The foul blood within its body completely vanished under the evaporation of the yang-rigorous force of the Jade-Breaking Force.
Only a pile of charred charcoal-like residue spread all over the ground in front of Sun Xuan.
"Heh, the power of this Transcendent skill is indeed extraordinary.
Especially after the strength of my Physique increased by another ten points, its power has become extremely astonishing.
This demon, which was nearly impervious to blades and spears, actually only left a little residue under the bombardment of the Jade-Breaking Force."
In fact, to slay this demon, it didn't completely reach the point where Sun Xuan had to use Transcendent ultimate moves.
However, after obtaining the two Transcendent ultimate moves, Jade-Breaking Force and Iron Fiend True Body, Sun Xuan hadn't had the chance to test their power all along.
At this moment, when the remaining value of this demon had already been squeezed dry by Sun Xuan,
using it to test the power of his ultimate moves could still be considered a form of recycling waste.
Sun Xuan felt very satisfied with the power of his Transcendent skill.
Now with these two Transcendent ultimate moves of offense and defense, Jade-Breaking Force and Iron Fiend True Body, in hand, Sun Xuan even had a little bit of confidence when facing that awakened eerie female corpse.
Having tasted the sweetness, Sun Xuan had already changed his previous plan at this moment.
Sun Xuan had originally planned to find a place to hide and watch the Li Family and that awakened female corpse along with a crowd of demons and zombies fight until both sides were bruised and battered.
After the battle situation on both sides became clear, he would wait for an opportunity to decide how to respond next.
However, since dealing with such mediocre-strength zombies and demons could also yield a large amount of attribute light spheres,
Sun Xuan decided not to continue hiding, but instead wanted to take the initiative to attack these zombies and demons.
Free gains, not taking them would surely incur divine retribution.
Although Sun Xuan, this Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, as long as he dared to leak even a tiny bit of aura, would inevitably encounter the most extreme divine retribution bestowed by this world.
Just as Sun Xuan was slaying this demon, the back courtyard of the Li Family's residence had already descended into complete chaos.
At this moment, Third Young Master Li, Li Quan, who had turned into a zombie, killed everyone he saw in the Li Family's back courtyard.
Although a group of guards were strongly ordered by the Li Family head to step forward and resist the zombie Li Quan, the disparity in strength was far too vast.
The guards of the Li Family were beaten into a panicked mess by the zombie Li Quan.
After Master Han and Master Zhao resolved the Headless Zombie Steward Liu in the front courtyard and rushed over to stall the zombie Li Quan, the situation improved slightly.
But not long after, two more zombies actually joined the slaughter of the Li Family's people.
Judging by the appearance of these two zombies, they should have been transformed from a handyman and a guard of the Li Family.
As a result, the situation of the Li Family became even more precarious, like eggs piled on top of each other.
However, the Li Family head was also quite ruthless and decisive.
Under the circumstance that his own biological son had turned into a zombie, he was actually still able to remain calm and composed.
When seeing that the scene was about to collapse, the Li Family head decisively had Master Han and Master Zhao abandon their current opponents.
Then he led them to escape far away from the chaotic place.
Afterwards, under the protection of Master Han and Master Zhao, the three of them finally stopped panting heavily in a secluded small courtyard.
"Old Han, Old Zhao, today my Li Family has encountered a great disaster, thanks to the two of you for protecting us with all your might."
Seeing Li Zhenyue, the Li Family head, with a solemn and grief-stricken expression, after panting a few times, he cupped his fists and spoke to Master Han and Master Zhao.
Seeing this, Master Han and Master Zhao immediately waved their hands and said:
"Family head Li has treated us two quite well, so it is only right for us two to step in during a crisis."
Master Han and Master Zhao said with weary expressions as they declined.
Hearing this, Li Zhenyue continued to say to Master Han and Master Zhao:
"Old Han, Old Zhao, if the Li Family can survive this great calamity, I, Li Zhenyue, swear to heaven that I will heavily reward the two of you for your contributions today.
I know that ordinary gold and silver treasures are not something the two of you lack.
However, in my private collection, there is a secret art for Soul and body Fusion.
If both your Soul Power and physical strength are raised to a sufficiently strong level, relying on this method, wanting to step into the ranks of graded powerhouses is not impossible."
After Li Zhenyue's voice fell, Master Han and Master Zhao, who had just been full of polite words, immediately looked at each other.
In each other's eyes, both saw a trace of pleasant surprise.
The world thrives for profit, and the world scatters for profit.
In this world, there is no inexplicable love or hatred, nor is there any contribution without asking for rewards.
Everyone is a smart person; Master Han and Master Zhao have drifted in the Jianghu for most of their lives, so trying to get something for nothing from the two of them is also unrealistic.
Especially with this calamity of the Li Family, the two of them could already be considered to be risking their lives at this moment.
If Li Zhenyue didn't show anything, the two of them weren't fools either; even if they endured the infamy of the Jianghu, changed their names and fled to a distant place,
it would still be better than risking their lives for the Li Family, wouldn't it?
However, after realizing the unsolvable degree of the Li Family's crisis, Master Han and Master Zhao made up their minds that even if Li Zhenyue promised a massive amount of gold and silver treasures, the two of them would not stay to fight for their lives anymore.
Rescuing Li Zhenyue from the chaos at this moment, the two of them felt they had done all that benevolence and righteousness required.
Next, the two of them were actually prepared to run away.
But upon hearing the secret art of Soul and body Fusion mentioned by Li Zhenyue, the minds of Master Han and Master Zhao changed once again.
Seeing Master Han and Master Zhao exchange glances, Master Han gritted his teeth and said to Li Zhenyue:
"Family head Li, the current situation of the Li Family is far worse than it looks.
According to the discussion and speculation between me and Brother Zhao,
those demons and zombies continuously appearing in the Li Family indicate that the Li Family should have been targeted by some eerie entity at this moment.
One or two zombies of this kind, Brother Zhao and I can still handle.
But if that eerie source appears, with the strength of Brother Zhao and me, we will only have a dead end.
The only plan for now is for Brother Zhao and me to go to the Qingdan Sect for reinforcements.
When the powerhouses of the Qingdan Sect arrive, our crisis will be resolved!"
After finishing speaking, Master Han's gaze stared closely at Li Zhenyue's face, waiting for his next instruction.
Li Zhenyue did not hesitate either; since the Li Family had reached this point, the means that needed to be used must be employed.
"Just do as Brother Han said.
This is the token of trust; you hand it to Deacon Wei of the Qingdan Sect, and Deacon Wei will naturally send people to rescue the Li Family!"
Li Zhenyue took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Master Han, and said.
"In that case, the two of us will set off immediately. Delivering the reinforcement message earlier can also relieve the crisis of the Li Family earlier."
Master Han took the jade pendant handed over by Li Zhenyue, and then said to him with a solemn tone.
"Sorry to trouble the two of you, this old man will wait here for the good news of the two!"
Hearing this, Li Zhenyue cupped his fists and said to the two.
Hearing this, Master Han and Master Zhao did not talk nonsense, and directly turned around and quickly headed outside the Li Family's residence.
The moonlight was like water, spilling all over the earth.
Compared to the bustling noise of the Li Family's residence where people were fighting until their brains beat out like dogs, the main street of Qinghe County appeared incomparably desolate.
Except for the wailing sound transmitted after the breeze blew through the alleys, there were no other sounds emitted at all.
After leaving the Li Family's residence, Master Han and Master Zhao immediately galloped quickly toward the Sect territory of the Qingdan Sect.
The Sect territory of the Qingdan Sect was not within the county town.
Rather, it was on a picturesque mountain not far from the county town.
The strength of the Qingdan Sect was extremely powerful. Compared with the Qingdan Sect, the Li Family was merely an ordinary small Family.
And the Qingdan Sect was one of the forces controlling the entire Qinghe County.
Together with the Town Demon Guard sent by the imperial court and the Shangguan Family with a Legacy of several hundred years, they jointly controlled the entire territory of Qinghe County.
Just as Master Han and Master Zhao rushed out from the Li Family's residence,
a hazy and illusory figure slowly condensed on top of the Li Family's main gate.
A head of long hair on this figure was casually draped over its shoulders.
Holding an ancient bronze sword, its empty and lifeless eyes gazed at Master Han and Master Zhao running quickly into the distance.
"Hee hee, no one can leave, no one can leave."
After muttering a few words, the figure abruptly dissipated under the moonlight.
Leaving only an extremely cold aura, it chased at extreme speed toward the direction where Master Han and Master Zhao were running.
When Master Han and Master Zhao used their full strength to run and journey, their speed had already surpassed that of a galloping horse.
The two of them walking on foot to seek reinforcements was not because the Li Family couldn't produce horses.
Rather, the two of them were afraid that the commotion would be too large and alert the demons eyeing the Li Family.
That was why they didn't ride horses, but quietly left the Li Family residence and headed straight for the Qingdan Sect.
Under the speed of the two, the city gate of Qinghe County town arrived very quickly.
Immediately afterwards, without saying another word, the two left from the city gate of Qinghe County town, and along the dirt path in the forest, continued running towards the direction of the Qingdan Sect.
After running along the path in the forest for a short while, Master Han's expression moved abruptly.
Then he looked around with some uncertainty and suspicion.
"Brother Zhao, have you felt that something is constantly approaching us?
Along this way, I always feel an unspeakable cold aura constantly approaching us.
This always gives me a sense of unease deep in my heart."
Hearing this, Master Zhao's expression was slightly stunned, and then he spoke with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Old Han, don't be too suspicious.
The one in danger is the Li Family residence; now that we have quietly slipped out from the Li Family, how could there still be danger happening?
This trip, as long as we deliver the reinforcement information, we can be considered to have completed the task.
With the powerhouses of the Qingdan Sect taking action, solving the trouble encountered by the Li Family should not be a problem.
By that time, you and I can get the secret art of Soul and body Fusion from Li Zhenyue's hands.
Once the two of us use this secret art to be promoted to graded powerhouses, by then whether joining the Qingdan Sect, the Shangguan Family, or the imperial court's Town Demon Guard,
those three major forces will definitely not refuse graded powerhouses.
After joining these three major forces, you and I might even have the opportunity to glimpse a higher Martial Dao Realm."
As Master Zhao spoke, a look of yearning could not help but appear on his face.
It was as if this dreamed-of good day was about to arrive.
After hearing Master Zhao's words, Master Han's expression also relaxed slightly.
What Master Zhao said made sense; at this moment they had already moved far away from the Li Family's residence, and had even left the county town.
Moreover, the commotion when coming out was extremely low, and they hadn't been noticed by anyone.
Logically speaking, no matter how dangerous the Li Family was at this moment, it should have nothing to do with them anymore.
And just as Master Han was thinking this, a section of a bronze sword tip suddenly emerged from Master Zhao's abdomen.
