Chapter 170 Invitation

"Crime-Destroying Seal!"

At this moment, Sun Xuan stepped back half a step slightly, and then let out another violent shout.

Upon his raised palm, a large number of black and white runes were constantly spinning and floating.

Following that, he violently blasted the Crime-Destroying Seal, unleashed with all his might, toward the chest of the exhausted Monk Mingdeng.

In an instant, a deafening hum echoed out.

Even with the resistance of the golden Buddha light, Monk Mingdeng's chest was still blasted with a deeply sunken palm print by this strike.

And the golden light attached to Monk Mingdeng's body flickered uncertainly under this formidable impact force.

After flickering back and forth several times, this layer of golden light ultimately could no longer withstand the might of this palm strike.

Then it shattered abruptly, and the fierce power poured entirely onto Monk Mingdeng's physical body like a raging torrent.

Immediately after, with a loud explosive sound, Monk Mingdeng's physical body directly exploded under this sudden palm strike.

Then it turned into flying ash, drifting into mid-air.

As for that string of Buddhist beads that had been guarding above Monk Mingdeng's head, after Monk Mingdeng was killed by Sun Xuan with a single palm, it actually shuddered slightly and was about to fly away through the void.

As a true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking, even if its master died, it would not shatter directly like ordinary true spirit artifacts.

Now, the moment its master died, this string of Buddhist beads also lost its restraint.

Its first reaction, of course, was to escape from this place first.

However, how could Sun Xuan at this moment allow such a true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking to escape on its own?

With a wave of Sun Xuan's hand, a patch of black and white colored flowing light instantly and rapidly emanated from his palm.

In a flash, it enveloped this string of Buddhist beads within it.

After the black and white colored flowing light enveloped the string of Buddhist beads, its constantly vibrating form instantly quieted down.

Then, with a slight beckoning of Sun Xuan's hand, driven by the black and white colored flowing light, the string of Buddhist beads quickly returned to Sun Xuan's hand, and was put away by Sun Xuan with a flip of his hand.

At this moment, the Sixth Prince, bringing along Elder Cao, had also just arrived not far from the Town Demon Guard garrison.

Sun Xuan's forceful blasting and killing of Monk Mingdeng, and his putting away of this true spirit artifact, were all seen by the Sixth Prince and Elder Cao.

However, just as the Sixth Prince wanted to step forward and speak with Sun Xuan, Gu Ren took a step ahead of the Sixth Prince and quickly came before Sun Xuan.

After Monk Mingdeng was finished off by Sun Xuan, instead of running away to save his life early, this Gu Ren actually dared to recklessly dash in front of him.

Seeing this scene, a trace of an interesting expression suddenly appeared on Sun Xuan's face, and then a pair of eyes carrying icy chill stared at Gu Ren's face.

And Gu Ren's subordinate servants, seeing Gu Ren courting death by running in front of Sun Xuan, were each terrified in their hearts.

Then they endlessly cursed Gu Ren in their hearts, but since Gu Ren had already run in front of Sun Xuan, they, as guards and servants, had no choice but to bite the bullet and run in front of Gu Ren, shielding him behind them.

"Hehe, you guys have quite a bit of nerve. Considering your decent courage, this seat will grant you a painless death!"

As Sun Xuan spoke, he circulated the True Qi within his body, and the black and white colored flowing light carrying extreme oppressive force instantly gathered toward Sun Xuan's palm once again.

The servants shielding Gu Ren's front saw this scene, and their faces instantly turned ashen, despair welling up in their eyes one after another.

These servants cursed Gu Ren as an idiot in their hearts; it was fine if he wanted to court death by himself, but why drag them down as well?

But these servants had no choice; their parents, wives, and children were all under the control of the Gu Family.

As long as they dared to abandon Gu Ren and run away by themselves, the Gu Family would definitely dare to slaughter their entire families.

Therefore, under circumstances of no alternative, these Gu Family servants, knowing they would undoubtedly die, still helplessly blocked in front of Gu Ren.

Just as Sun Xuan was about to make a Move to finish off these idiots, the pale-faced Gu Ren spoke at this moment:

"Wait, I am the sole heir of the Gu Family among the four major families of Great Wei. If you dare to kill me, you will definitely endure the most frantic revenge from the Gu Family!

How about you join this Young Master's subordinates now? As long as you handle matters reliably, the Gu Family will not lack benefits for you in the future.

Also, that string of Buddhist beads you obtained from Monk Mingdeng—now, as long as you are willing to hand it over into this Young Master's hands,

this Young Master guarantees that I will never blame you again for injuring this Young Master previously.

Follow this Young Master and work hard when the time comes; this Young Master guarantees you a boundless future.

You must know that right now you are merely a weak and isolated little Martial Artist.

Even if your strength is formidable, relying on just yourself alone, how many nails can you drive no matter how tough you are?

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the cool shade under a big tree!"

As Gu Ren spoke more, the excitement on his face grew thicker.

Even the immense pressure released by Sun Xuan seemed to be resisted by him relying on this burst of spirit.

And these words were also heard by the Sixth Prince and Elder Cao who were hiding not far from the Town Demon Guard.

Upon hearing these words, even the Sixth Prince, having experienced too many great storms and waves, was shocked by Gu Ren's words at this moment.

The Sixth Prince looked at Elder Cao beside him with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, and spoke to Elder Cao with a tone of disbelief:

"Mr. Cao, did I hear wrong?

Is Gu Ren that idiot's head filled with dog shit?!

Right now, This Highness suddenly doesn't want this idiot to die.

If this idiot stays alive and inherits the position of the Gu Family head, I think he will definitely drag the Gu Family, and even my good second older brother behind the Gu Family, down to Hell together!"

Elder Cao also carried a trace of astonishment in his eyes at this moment, then opened his mouth, yet did not know what to say.

He could only say that as one of the four major aristocratic families of Great Wei, the Gu Family having an heir like Gu Ren was truly having terrible luck.

At this moment, Elder Cao even felt that placing a dog on the position of the Gu Family head would be much better than Gu Ren becoming the Gu Family head.

At least by placing a dog in the position of the Gu Family head, the Gu Family could still continue its Legacy.

But if trash like Gu Ren were placed in the position of the Gu Family head, the Gu Family's accumulation of hundreds of years would probably be ruined overnight.

Elder Cao truly couldn't understand how Gu Ren dared to utter such a set of words.

When Sun Xuan forcefully killed Monk Mingdeng just now, Elder Cao had also seen it.

Although Elder Cao could now determine that Sun Xuan's martial cultivation was in the Late Stage of the Third Grade, lagging a bit behind his own Early Stage of the Second Grade cultivation,

martial cultivation was only a part of strength.

Aside from the level of martial cultivation Realm, there were many other factors influencing a Martial Artist's ultimate strength.

And the Move and power with which Sun Xuan forcefully beheaded Monk Mingdeng just now made Elder Cao feel no small amount of threat.

If he were to receive that level of Move power, even though Elder Cao was a Second Grade Martial Artist, he was not sure whether he could take it down.

Such a martial powerhouse, yet Gu Ren dared to ignorantly step forward and threaten him—did he think he was the Emperor of Great Wei!

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Ren's words, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted on Sun Xuan's face.

"Hahaha, this bullshit Gu Family, having an heir like you, is really having bad luck enough.

Today, I eliminate this idiot you for your Gu Family; your Gu Family might even have to thank me!"

As soon as Sun Xuan's voice fell, the huge energy gathered on his palm immediately blasted fiercely toward Gu Ren's direction.

For an idiot whose brain wasn't quite normal like this, sending him to the afterlife was the best ending for him.

"No!"

The surging torrent of energy, like the general trend of Heavenly Dao, impacted toward Gu Ren and his subordinates.

At this moment, Gu Ren's gang of subordinates also became completely desperate.

However, at this time, besides despair, these subordinates of Gu Ren also had a feeling of release.

Even these household servants and subordinates of Gu Ren, before being swallowed by this surging energy stream, thought in their hearts:

Rather than living in trepidation every day following an idiot like Gu Ren, not knowing when one would die somewhere due to this idiot's stupidity,

it would be better to just be released like this.

As for Gu Ren at this moment, he hadn't yet recovered from his daydreaming about the future before having to face despairing death.

This made Gu Ren feel a sense of madness amidst drastic ups and downs, as if he were about to collapse.

But no matter what Gu Ren thought, it couldn't change the fact that he was about to be blasted to pieces by Sun Xuan's palm strike at this moment.

The surging energy torrent wreaked havoc among Gu Ren and the others. Under Sun Xuan's full-strength attack, Gu Ren and his subordinates were torn to pieces without any exception.

After finishing off Gu Ren, Sun Xuan directly took out the golden Buddhist beads he had put into his hand earlier, and then circulated the surging True Qi within his body, infusing it into this string of Buddhist beads.

With Sun Xuan's strength at this moment, even though this string of Buddhist beads was a true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking, it was quickly refined and completed by Sun Xuan.

Then, the attribute information of this string of Buddhist beads also appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.

[Name: Protective Dao Buddhist Beads]

[chaos myriad spirits ranking: 8197]

[Spiritual Skill: Golden Buddha Protects Dao]

Looking at the true spirit artifact named Protective Dao Buddhist Beads before him, a trace of satisfaction couldn't help but be revealed on Sun Xuan's face.

Although the ranking of this true spirit artifact couldn't compare to the yanmo seal, it was much higher than the evil dragon saber.

Moreover, it only had one defensive-type spiritual skill, which also indicated that it focused on defensive power, and its defense power was even more formidable.

With this true spirit artifact focused on the Dao of defense, if not for Monk Mingdeng's strength being too lousy, even if Sun Xuan wanted to break through it, it wouldn't have been so easy.

If he encountered a formidable opponent controlling this string of Buddhist beads, if Sun Xuan wanted to break through it, he might even need to use those two true spirit artifacts in his hands that were ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking.

With a satisfied look on his face, Sun Xuan put this string of Buddhist beads into his Dantian, and then spoke toward a distant corner with a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes:

"Two friends, hiding over there and watching for so long, shouldn't you show yourselves and meet now?!"

As Sun Xuan's voice fell, the Sixth Prince knew that this powerhouse had long discovered himself and Elder Cao. At this moment, he no longer hid and walked open and straightforwardly in front of Sun Xuan.

"This friend has great methods. Although Monk Mingdeng's strength is not top-notch, relying on the string of Buddhist beads in his hands, he also has some fame in the capital.

Unexpectedly, even after exhausting all his methods, he is still not this friend's match. I admire you!"

After coming before Sun Xuan, the Sixth Prince directly spoke to Sun Xuan with slight flattery.

As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Moreover, Sun Xuan also discovered that the young man before him was not simple; an aura even more noble than Gu Ren's emanated from his body.

Even under Sun Xuan's powerful Soul sensory perception, although this noble man's martial cultivation before him wasn't too high, a faint, elusive pressure constantly manifested from his body.

An illusory and uncertain Dragon shadow coiled around his body as if it were there and yet not.

This was the true Dragon appearance of an emperor.

Judging by this, this man before him should have an inextricable relationship with the imperial Family of Great Wei.

Moreover, beside this noble man, the unremarkable elder gave Sun Xuan a faint sense of danger.

This was definitely a martial powerhouse, completely incomparable to the likes of Monk Mingdeng.

For a figure of this level to come up and try to get close to him, Sun Xuan would still not casually ignore them.

Furthermore, on this unidentified noble man, he might even be able to get some benefits that Sun Xuan wanted.

Thinking of this, a trace of a genial smile immediately appeared on Sun Xuan's face as he spoke:

"Young Master flatters me. This humble person's meager strength is not worth showing on any grand stage.

Just like the old gentleman beside Young Master, this humble person definitely cannot compare to him."

As Sun Xuan exchanged polite pleasantries, he pointed out the elder's strength.

Seeing this, the Sixth Prince didn't mind either, but with a slight smile on his face, he continued speaking to Sun Xuan:

"Haha, for friend to say so is to be far too modest.

But I see that friend is also an intelligent person. I wonder if you have any interest in working together with me.

It happens that friend is a person of the Town Demon Guard, and this old gentleman beside me is also the Azure Dragon Guard Commander of the Town Demon Guard, second only to the Town Demon Guard Governor-General.

When the time comes, you and Elder Cao working together can be considered making the best use of your talents."

Hearing the Sixth Prince point out the identity of that powerful elder, Sun Xuan couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

He also didn't expect that this unremarkable elder turned out to be the number two figure in the Town Demon Guard, the Azure Dragon Guard Commander.

And such a big figure actually took this young man as his master/leader, it seemed this young man's identity was not low at all.

However, after hearing this young man's invitation, after pondering for a short moment, Sun Xuan grew somewhat tempted.

After his strength experienced this massive enhancement, Qinghe County was no longer suitable for him to continue staying.

Only in a broader world could he encounter stronger Martial Artists, and only then could he obtain more attribute light orbs through battles with those powerhouses to enhance his strength.
