Chapter 34 Devouring Infant

Sun Xuan's speed was too fast; the group could simply not catch up.

At this moment, only Lin Yi and Punanzi, who had used a blood-escape technique, barely managed to catch up to Sun Xuan.

Looking at the Xuandao Sect, which had been reduced to ruins before him, Punanzi's eyes split open with rage.

"Ahhh! This old man swears to be irreconcilable with you!"

Punanzi looked as though he had gone mad, forming hand seals with both hands as a thousand-zhang peak suddenly appeared in the sky.

He fiercely exhaled a mouthful of Nascent Soul Qi toward the giant peak, then pointed at Sun Xuan.

The giant peak instantly smashed down toward Sun Xuan with a rumbling sound.

However, compared to the qianshan seal, this giant peak was far inferior in both strength and speed.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan neither dodged nor avoided it, extending a hand to summon the qixuan sword back as it swirled around.

Immediately afterward, Sun Xuan flicked his hand slightly, and the qixuan sword instantly expanded to a giant size of a thousand zhang.

Seven-colored flowing light permeated from the sword body, giving one a feeling of invincibility and overwhelming sharpness.

"Slash!"

At that exact moment, Sun Xuan widened his eyes and let out a loud shout.

The qixuan sword instantly cleaved vertically from bottom to top.

"Clang!"

A sound capable of cleaving iron and shattering gold echoed out as the thousand-zhang giant peak was split in two by a single sword strike.

"Pfft!"

With his Lifebound Treasure destroyed, Punanzi instantly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion immediately turning pale.

Seeing this, fierce light flashed in Sun Xuan's eyes as the thousand-zhang qixuan sword executed a horizontal slash, sweeping across Punanzi's neck in an instant.

Punanzi's figure stiffened, and his head immediately rolled down from his neck.

Fresh blood sprayed across the sky, and a Nascent Soul with a face full of terror instantly leaped out from the rolling head.

"Envoy Lin, save me!"

The battle between Punanzi and Sun Xuan had happened in the flash of an eye; within moments, Punanzi's Physical Body had been destroyed by Sun Xuan.

Lin Yi, who had just arrived, simply did not have time to rescue him.

"How dare you!"

Watching from afar as Sun Xuan killed Punanzi in two moves, Lin Yi let out a furious shout that made his entire body tremble with anger.

Waving his hands, two crescent-shaped cold lights immediately shot rapidly toward Sun Xuan.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan sneered.

He immediately flipped his hand to put away the qixuan sword, then raised his hand to block the qianshan seal in front of his body.

Immediately following this, Sun Xuan circulated the Withered Blood Soul-Devouring Demonic Art, and the upper body of the black-red demonic shadow suddenly extended outward from within Sun Xuan's body.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived right in front of Punanzi's Nascent Soul.

Seeing this, Punanzi's Nascent Soul let out a shrieking scream of absolute terror before being swallowed in one gulp by the black-red demonic shadow.

At the instant the demonic shadow swallowed Punanzi's Nascent Soul and shrank back into Sun Xuan's body,

Lin Yi's two crescent-shaped Magic Treasures also fiercely cleaved down onto the qianshan seal blocking in front of Sun Xuan.

"Clang clang!"

Two sounds of metal clashing rang out, and blazing sparks burst forth from the point of intersection.

Two deep chisel marks appeared upon the qianshan seal.

In the distance, Lin Yi waved his hand with a gloomy expression, and the two oddly shaped crescent Magic Treasures immediately whirled back to his side, slowly revolving around him.

As for Punanzi's Nascent Soul devoured by Sun Xuan using the Withered Blood Soul-Devouring Demonic Art, it was completely digested by the demonic shadow in mere moments.

Strands of magical power essence were fed back into Sun Xuan's body by the demonic shadow, not only replenishing the deficit in Sun Xuan's physical stamina and magical power,

but also causing his cultivation to make another huge leap forward, taking a firm small step toward the Soul Transformation realm.

As for the chaotic dregs such as residual emotions and memories after digesting the Nascent Soul, they were absorbed by the demonic shadow.

This pushed the eerie and sinister power of the demonic shadow a step further.

"Stop him!"

At this very moment, the remaining Nascent Soul Cultivators of the State of Zhao also rushed over.

Under Lin Yi's sharp gaze, they had no choice but to fly forth to block Sun Xuan.

Chen Huan and Chen Yan of the Hehuan Sect exchanged a glance.

Chen Huan immediately raised his hand to take out a folding fan, then snapped it open with a swish.

Painted upon the folding fan were eight seductive maidens; as Chen Huan waved the fan with a sweep,

the eight seductive maidens instantly detached themselves from the fan.

Then, riding upon a vast expanse of pink mist, they rapidly spread toward Sun Xuan's location.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan of the Hehuan Sect smiled sinisterly with shifting eyes.

Under the cover of the pink mist, her figure suddenly turned a blur.

Immediately following this, the clothing on her body shed, transforming into the ninth seductive maiden in the blink of an eye.

Then, blending together with the other eight seductive maidens from the painting, she approached Sun Xuan while posing flirtatiously.

Watching the rapidly spreading pink mist and the nine seductive maidens directly intercepting the path of his escape,

a chilling cold light could not help but flash through Sun Xuan's eyes.

He opened his mouth to speak with dense Killing Intent:

"You're jumping around so joyfully, then the next one will be the Hehuan Sect!"

Hearing Sun Xuan's words filled with Killing Intent, the figures of both Chen Huan and Chen Yan suddenly stiffened.

Their hearts felt somewhat chilled.

The cautionary example of the Xuandao Sect was right before their eyes, and Punanzi's fate of total destruction of body and soul caused the two of them to tremble endlessly inside.

However, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.

Not to mention they had chased and hunted Sun Xuan all the way here; even if they turned around and left now,

Sun Xuan might not necessarily let them off in the future.

Even Lin Yi nearby, acting as though overseeing the battle, prevented them from entertaining any thoughts of fleeing.

Gritting their teeth, the two of them had no other choice but to attack Sun Xuan even more desperately.

Seeing Sun Xuan's path blocked by Chen Huan and the other,

Lin Yi immediately formed hand seals, gathering a massive amount of Spiritual Qi.

It formed a blazing white cloud of Spiritual Qi high above Sun Xuan's head.

Within the span of a mere moment, Sun Xuan fell into a predicament of being attacked from both front and back.

Sun Xuan, however, was completely unafraid. With a slight movement of his mind, the Yin Corpse Poison Fire instantly spread outward from his Dantian.

It then enveloped Sun Xuan's figure within.

Immediately afterward, without stopping his steps, Sun Xuan plunged headfirst into the pink mist spread out by Chen Huan.

"Hiss!"

A sound akin to dropping a ladle of cold water into a boiling wok of oil rang out.

When the pink mist met the Yin Corpse Poison Fire, it was like pouring fuel onto raging flames.

The Yin Corpse Poison Fire flared up fiercely, while the pink mist boiled and churned violently like boiling water.

Seeing that this bewitching Yin and Yang Qi had no effect on Sun Xuan, Chen Yan, hidden among the seductive maidens,

had no choice but to grit her teeth and guide the eight painted seductive maidens along with herself—a total of nine seductive maidens—pouncing toward Sun Xuan while posing flirtatiously.

"Uh-en… hmm-hmm… ah…"

The nine seductive maidens surrounded Sun Xuan in the center, dancing around him while emitting waves of bewitching sounds.

The sound entered Sun Xuan's ears, causing him to feel a bout of irritation, and the Killing Intent in his eyes grew even more intense.

At this very moment, a fierce glint flashed in Sun Xuan's eyes as he instantly circulated the Giant Spirit Dharma Body.

A sheet of silver light burst forth from within Sun Xuan's body.

Sun Xuan raised his hand and smashed a punch toward one of the seductive maidens.

The giant fist emitting a metallic luster rapidly magnified in Chen Yan's eyes.

It caused Chen Yan to let out a shriek of uncontrollable inner terror.

No longer caring about dealing with Sun Xuan, she turned around and wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, Sun Xuan's punch was extremely fast, and trying to escape at this point was already too late.

"Bang!"

A booming sound akin to smashing a watermelon to pieces echoed out as Chen Yan's head was instantly blasted apart by Sun Xuan's punch.

A pink Nascent Soul fled rapidly with a look of extreme terror.

However, before it could escape far, it was swallowed whole into the belly by a black-red demonic shadow.

Having resolved Chen Yan, a trace of derision appeared on Sun Xuan's face as he opened his mouth to softly say:

"What kind of flirtatious bullshit are you putting on, you idiot!"
