Chapter 591: Thank You for Saving My Life, Senior!

"Hard to kill?"

In the distance, the Demon Fiend Great Sage, hearing Li Xuanfeng's lament, suddenly fell into silence.

Unleashing thousands upon thousands of moves in an instant to completely obliterate the Phantom Body Heavenly God's body and Soul—and he calls that hard to kill?

The Demon Fiend Great Sage couldn't understand it, but if he had seen the scenes of Li Xuanfeng facing enemies before, he would know why he said that.

If it were any other foreign race, Li Xuanfeng wouldn't have needed so many moves, nor would he have needed Ye Qingqing's help; with his Chaos Power, even if he couldn't achieve an instant kill, he could end the battle in a crushing manner.

This Phantom Body Heavenly God, without Ye Qingqing's help, would have become the first foreign race to escape from Li Xuanfeng's hands.

Based on that point alone, there was nothing wrong with saying he was hard to kill.

"The Souls and bodies of the Flesh Spirit Race are one and the same, inseparable; the Soul is the body, and the body is the Soul. Even if a single bud of flesh is separated, that bud possesses the complete Soul and memories. Therefore, as long as one piece of the body escapes, they can use their Innate Divine Ability to restore themselves to their Peak."

"Of course, the less of the body that escapes, the greater the difficulty and the slower the speed of recovery."

Ye Qingqing explained.

"Furthermore, the Flesh Spirit Race are all hermaphrodites."

Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before adding.

Li Xuanfeng glanced at his Senior Sister and nodded slightly without speaking.

He had already learned about the various special methods of the foreign races from Lian Yuezhou, so he naturally knew that the Flesh Spirit Race was a very bizarre species.

The Flesh Spirit Race could not only divide into many bodies but were also hermaphroditic.

Hermaphroditic creatures were not uncommon; they existed in the Canglan Realm, and even on the planet Li Xuanfeng lived on before his Transmigration.

However, those were usually sequential hermaphrodites—male for a period, then female for another.

Simply put, it was the same individual whose gender would transform.

But the hermaphroditism of the Flesh Spirit Race was different; because they could divide into many bodies, they could make one part male and another part female.

Being hermaphroditic and possessing both Yin and Yang in one body created a very eerie phenomenon: the Flesh Spirit Race could perform Dual Cultivation with themselves!

By dividing into numerous bodies, keeping half male and the other half female, they could then entertain themselves.

When each body became stronger through Dual Cultivation and then merged back together, the Flesh Spirit Race's strength would be enhanced.

When the Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm first learned of this bizarre phenomenon, it caused quite a stir.

The Flesh Spirit Race was also considered the most bizarre foreign race by the Supreme Experts.

"The Flesh Spirit Race can directly strengthen their Physical Body through Dual Cultivation, right?"

Li Xuanfeng's Divine Sense transmission echoed in Ye Qingqing's mind.

"Yes."

Ye Qingqing glanced at her Junior Brother and gave a simple response without saying much more.

Li Xuanfeng also said no more.

He knew his Senior Sister still maintained a curiosity toward the Dao of Dual Cultivation; he still remembered when they first met, she had asked him if Dual Cultivation could directly strengthen the Physical Body.

It seemed now that the source of that question was the Flesh Spirit Race.

The Yin-Yang Profound Refinement Technique had been elevated to a very high level through Li Xuanfeng's repeated practice and deduction, but it was still impossible to directly strengthen the Physical Body.

After all, the physical structure of Canglan Realm beings and foreign race beings was different, and they were completely unlike the bizarre Flesh Spirit Race.

Of course, in some respects, Dual Cultivation could enhance the Physical Body, but not directly—rather, indirectly.

After a Breakthrough in Realm through Dual Cultivation, the Soul, cultivation, and Physical Body strength would all increase, so it could be counted as being able to enhance the Physical Body.

During these days traveling to the Demon Cloud Battlefield, Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing had conversed pleasantly, and he could feel a subtle change in Ye Qingqing's emotions toward him.

If things continued like this and their feelings deepened, it wouldn't be hard to reach the step he desired; at that time, he could let Ye Qingqing personally experience exactly what benefits Dual Cultivation could provide.

"Let's settle the battle merits first!"

Li Xuanfeng spoke to shift the topic.

"Alright."

Ye Qingqing nodded.

The two stepped forward simultaneously, teleporting in front of the Demon Fiend Great Sage.

The Demon Cloud Battlefield was like a mist, and the two stood as if within thick layers of clouds; the battle just now hadn't caused any damage to this battlefield.

The Demon Fiend Great Sage had temporarily condensed a body for himself; compared to a Great Sage's true body, this form appeared incredibly weak, but it was barely sufficient.

"Greetings, Patrol Envoy Ye!"

"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"

The Demon Fiend Great Sage cupped his fists toward Ye Qingqing and then bowed deeply to Li Xuanfeng.

Being able to keep his life was entirely thanks to Li Xuanfeng; even if Ye Qingqing had acted, she couldn't have removed the Divine Power chains in such a short time. The Demon Fiend Great Sage was naturally beyond grateful to Li Xuanfeng.

"This is my Junior Brother, Peerless Great Sage Li Xuanfeng!"

Ye Qingqing introduced him with a smile.

"Senior Peerless, I cannot thank you enough for saving my life; I have no way to repay you. From now on, my life belongs to you, Senior. Should you have any need, I am at your disposal!"

The Demon Fiend Great Sage bowed deeply to Li Xuanfeng once again.

"It was my duty; there's no need for such a grand gesture."

Li Xuanfeng waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted the Demon Fiend Great Sage's body.

If it were within his power, he certainly wouldn't watch the Demon Fiend Great Sage fall; even if it meant letting the Phantom Body Heavenly God escape, he would have saved him—not to mention the Phantom Body Heavenly God had no chance of escaping at all.

"My Junior Brother's age isn't even a fraction of yours; aren't you making him sound old by calling him Senior?"

Ye Qingqing joked.

"What?!"

The Demon Fiend Great Sage was jolted; his age wasn't even a fraction of his own?

How could there be such a Prodigy in this world?

No wonder he hadn't heard of Li Xuanfeng before; it turned out he hadn't been cultivating for long!

Although it felt unbelievable, he didn't doubt Ye Qingqing's words.

Thinking of Li Xuanfeng's Heaven-Defying performance in crushing the Phantom Body Heavenly God with a Great Sage's cultivation, the Demon Fiend Great Sage seemed to understand why his cultivation time was short; he would definitely have to look into this monster properly later.

"Alright, let's settle the battle merits!"

Li Xuanfeng felt there was no need to waste time on such matters and directly took out his boundary gate token; battle merits were his primary concern right now.

Ye Qingqing and the Demon Fiend Great Sage said no more and took out their tokens.

The tokens recorded the battle from their respective angles and then allocated the battle merits.

The Demon Fiend Great Sage received the smallest share; he hadn't contributed at all in this battle and was even a burden, but there was still merit in guarding the battlefield, so he was allocated some merits.

Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing took the lion's share; their merits were similar, but because Li Xuanfeng had saved the Demon Fiend Great Sage's life, his merits were slightly higher than Ye Qingqing's.

In the end, he received sixteen trillion!

Adding the previously accumulated fifty-five trillion, four hundred and twenty billion, his total battle merits had already reached seventy-one trillion, four hundred and twenty billion!

"Not bad, after slaying a few more Quasi-God Kings, I can return to the Boundary Pass to exchange for resources!"

Li Xuanfeng thought with satisfaction.

His goal was the top-tier resources of the Canglan Realm, which required an extremely massive amount of battle merits.

"Senior Sister and I will continue patrolling other areas. There won't be any danger here in the short term, so I'll have to trouble the Demon Fiend Great Sage to guard this place for a while longer."

Li Xuanfeng put away his token and spoke to the Demon Fiend Great Sage.

By checking the fate color through the System, he saw that the Demon Fiend Great Sage wouldn't encounter any danger next, so continuing to guard the Demon Cloud Battlefield was no problem.

Both Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing were Patrol Envoys; staying here to guard an Earth-Grade Void Battlefield would be a complete waste of talent. Furthermore, Li Xuanfeng was busy accumulating battle merits, so he was even less likely to stay here and waste time.

"Understood!"

The Demon Fiend Great Sage nodded seriously.
