Chapter 146 My sword is thirsty

The largest prefecture in the western part of the Great Qi Dynasty is Huai Xi Prefecture, where the Tai Xu Sect is located. Besides the Tai Xu Sect, Huai Xi Prefecture also has a second-rate force, Purple Maple Valley.

When the matter between Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan was first exposed, a True Disciple of Purple Maple Valley, Xiao Hanxing, went to the Xu Family to cause a scene and was directly blown away by Su Xinyan, who was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

At that time, Xiao Hanxing was in the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, but now he has reached the perfected stage of the Purple Mansion.

Xiao Hanxing held considerable prestige in Purple Maple Valley, and if nothing unexpected happened, he could also participate in the competition for the position of Purple Maple Valley Master in the future.

Xiao Hanxing, who was in Purple Maple Valley, was full of vigor, but whenever he thought of Su Xinyan, his 'white moonlight', a hint of sadness would flash across his face.

"Sigh… It's clearly been so long, how can I just not forget her!"

Xiao Hanxing flew out of the mountain gate. Before him was a wide road, and the maple trees on both sides were covered in purple maple leaves, which were very beautiful.

Purple Maple Valley was named after these maple trees.

The maple leaves were like a patch of sunset glow, dyeing the sky a golden red.

Seeing this scene, a feeling of sadness welled up in Xiao Hanxing.

Just at this moment.

"Boom!!"

A skull a hundred zhang wide and long flew in from afar.

The skull flew over Xiao Hanxing's head and smashed directly onto the mountain gate of Purple Maple Valley.

"Bang!!"

A huge deep pit was directly smashed into the entrance of Purple Maple Valley's mountain gate, causing the entire Purple Maple Valley to shake like an earthquake.

"What's happening!"

"Could someone be attacking our Purple Maple Valley?"

"It can't be the Xu Family, right! Our Purple Maple Valley doesn't have any grudges with them!"

This strike woke up many of the Elders and Disciples of Purple Maple Valley.

At the same time, Xiao Hanxing, who witnessed all of this, suddenly snapped back to his senses.

The next moment, he saw a huge black cloud flying in from afar.

Xiao Hanxing thought it was a Magic Treasure, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a group of Cultivators emitting waves of demonic energy.

Recently, Demon Cultivators had been appearing everywhere within the Dynasty, but only a few at a time. Now, so many appeared all at once, which directly startled Xiao Hanxing greatly.

"Hiss!!"

Xiao Hanxing's hair stood on end instantly, and his face was filled with horror. He turned his head and flew towards Purple Maple Valley, shouting with his voice amplified by true essence as he flew.

"Demon Cultivators attack! Purple Maple Valley Disciples and Elders, quickly come to support!!"

Xiao Hanxing's voice spread throughout Purple Maple Valley. Powerful figures awakened, and silhouettes turned into streams of light, flying over.

In just a few breaths, a large group of Elders and True Disciples gathered at the entrance of Purple Maple Valley's mountain gate.

"Where are the Demon Cultivators!"

"They actually dare to attack our Purple Maple Valley! How audacious!!!"

Xiao Hanxing flew in front of the crowd, pointed into the distance, and said.

"Fellow Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, Elders, a large number of Demon Cultivators are flying in from afar. I suggest we defend while also seeking help from the imperial court."

He was quite far away just now, but he roughly estimated there were at least a thousand Demon Cultivators. Before confirming their strength, it would be best to be fully prepared.

"Junior Brother Xiao is right! I'm fast, I'll go for reinforcements!"

A round-faced True Disciple stepped forward and fled into the distance without hesitation.

At this time, they also saw the black cloud filled with demonic energy in the distance.

Behind them was their Sect. There was no retreat, only battle!

They all took out their Magic Treasures and weapons, ready for battle.

Soon, the Demon Cultivators arrived before the mountain gate of Purple Maple Valley. Leading them was a burly man with a scraggly beard, his eyes were blood red. In his hand, he held a white skull, within which a ball of blue flame flickered as if alive.

The Purple Maple Valley Master shouted sternly, "Audacious Demon Cultivators! How dare you destroy my Purple Maple Valley's mountain gate! Are you trying to start a war with my Purple Maple Valley!"

The burly man with the scraggly beard grinned, his sharp teeth like two rows of sawblades, looking extremely terrifying.

"Not a war, but to slaughter all of you!"

The people of Purple Maple Valley were instantly furious. These Demon Cultivators didn't go anywhere else, but came to their Purple Maple Valley first. This was clearly treating them as soft targets.

The burly man with the scraggly beard didn't want to waste any more words with them and waved his hand.

"Kill!"

With his command, the Demon Cultivators behind him, who were already impatient, all swarmed towards the people of Purple Maple Valley.

"My great saber has long been hungry!!"

"Hahaha, come, come, come sit in my Soul Refining Banner!"

In the eyes of the Demon Cultivators, they were not Cultivators or people, but food, food that could make them stronger.

For a time, demonic energy surged, and killing intent permeated the air.

The purple maple leaves and this scene formed a stark contrast.

The Purple Maple Valley Master shouted, "Stop them, let them know how powerful my Purple Maple Valley is!"

The True Disciples and the Other Elders rushed forward to meet them.

However, the power of the Demon Cultivators exceeded their understanding. Purple Maple Valley didn't even have the ability to resist and was beaten back step by step.

Especially the leading burly man with the scraggly beard, who was clearly at the perfected Nascent Soul Realm like the Other Elders of Purple Maple Valley, but relying on the skull in his hand that glowed with blue light, he easily killed several Purple Maple Valley Elders.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Purple Maple Valley Master immediately shouted, "Quick! All retreat back into the valley and activate the mountain protection formation!!"

"Now you want to retreat? It won't be that easy!"

The burly man with the scraggly beard chanted several incantations, and the blue flame in the skull flew out directly, turning into a sea of fire that enveloped over a dozen True Disciples of Purple Maple Valley.

These people couldn't break out. They were burned by the sea of fire, emitting waves of tragic screams.

"Ahhh!"

"Save me! I don't want to die!!"

When the Purple Maple Valley Master and the Other Elders saw this scene, their hearts felt as if they were bleeding. These were the True Disciples of Purple Maple Valley, the future hope of Purple Maple Valley.

"You retreat, I'll hold him off!!"

The Purple Maple Valley Master did not retreat but advanced, charging resolutely towards the leading burly man with the scraggly beard.

The Other Elders were filled with grief, knowing that they had to retreat at this moment. They covered each other and finally retreated back into the valley, activating the mountain protection formation.

Just at this moment, they turned their heads and saw that the Purple Maple Valley Master, who had held off the Demon Cultivators to buy them time, could not hold on under the siege of the Demon Cultivators and was directly killed.

He didn't even have a chance to self-detonate.

His flesh and blood were absorbed into a great saber, and his Divine Soul was devoured by the Yin souls in the Soul Refining Banner.

"Purple Maple Valley Master!!"

"Ahhh!! Damn Demon Cultivators!! I'll kill you all!!"

Several True Disciples and Elders saw this scene, their eyes turned red, wanting to rush out and avenge the Purple Maple Valley Master, but they were stopped by others.

If they rushed out now, it would be almost no different from seeking death.

The burly man with the scraggly beard raised his hand, and the skull in his hand instantly grew larger, like a small mountain, and smashed down towards Purple Maple Valley's mountain protection formation.

"Rumble!!"

Purple Maple Valley shook violently, but the mountain protection formation easily blocked the burly man with the scraggly beard's Magic Treasure.

This made him look displeased.

"This turtle shell is damn hard. Let's go to the next place!"

Seeing that Purple Maple Valley's mountain protection formation was difficult to break through in a short time, the burly man with the scraggly beard directly turned around and left with the group of Demon Cultivators.
