Chapter 135 The Venerable of Burning Ruins
Chapter 135 The Venerable of Burning Ruins
"Holy crap! A Heavenly Rank Battle Technique! Possessed by a ghost!"
That's right.
The person standing in front of Zhang Xuanchen was none other than Xiao Yan, whom he hadn't seen for more than three years!
By this time, he had long since shed his youthful naiveté, and his face was filled with fortitude and determination.
His strength also rose from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level.
Judging from his aura, he is not far from reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Zhang Xuanchen would never believe that he hadn't gone through countless hardships during that time.
At twenty-one years old, he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, making him a top genius in the Zhang family.
Who dares to call them trash?
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was possessed by Venerable Burning Ruins, had his aura surge to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, this powerful force far exceeded his body's capacity to withstand it, and it was impossible for him to maintain it for long.
Therefore, we must act quickly.
The early Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had been blasted away by that powerful aura, looked at Xiao Yan, whose strength had surged dramatically, with shock in his eyes.
Four early Foundation Establishment cultivators and thirteen late Qi Refining cultivators were besieged by this kid, but he killed half of them using various methods.
Just when he was about to be defeated, he suddenly unleashed such terrifying strength.
Is this kid a ghost?
Is there no justice left?!
"Impossible! How could you possibly still have the strength to spare!"
What kind of secret technique is this?
"Did you hide your strength from the beginning? Were you deliberately toying with us?"
The leader, a wicked cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, had a ferocious expression and loudly questioned the matter.
To this, Venerable Burning Ruins gave a wicked smile, "The dead need not know!"
Having said that, he vanished from his spot and reappeared like a ghost in front of the early Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The elbow, wreathed in flames, struck his left heart with absolute force.
Its speed was as fast as lightning, and the evil cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment had no time to dodge.
Click!
His chest caved in, and his left ribs, along with his heart, were shattered by the elbow strike.
He died instantly.
Upon seeing their captain killed in a single move, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator and the seven late-stage Qi Refining evil cultivators scattered and fled, preparing to return to Lingyu Island to report the matter to the branch hall master.
"Run! Run! This kid is inhuman! He's a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who killed three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
"He's a monster!"
"Damn it! Anyone else would have been unconscious eight times over from the injuries on this kid!"
This guy's strength always surges when he's about to die; it's unbelievable!
"Quickly! Inform Lord Gu about this! He's definitely interested in the opportunity this kid has!"
"I refuse to believe he could kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
……
Seeing everyone scatter and flee, Venerable Burning Ruins remained completely calm.
Make a mudra with both hands.
"Sword, come!"
In an instant, eight fiery magic swords appeared with lightning speed, striking the fleeing group.
Although he was now almost completely weakened, if these few ants escaped, he would lose face terribly.
The fiery sword swept through everything in its path, turning grass, trees, and rocks into scorched earth.
"what!"
"Ah! Ah!"
With several screams, the seven evil cultivators who had been practicing Qi Refining were burned to ashes by the fire sword, leaving not even a trace of their bones.
Only that evil cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment burned his Foundation Establishment True Essence and used his natal magic weapon, the Blood Soul Banner, to resist.
Countless wronged souls surged forth, roaring and desperately trying to block the onslaught of the fire sword.
At this moment, the Foundation Establishment evil cultivator retreated continuously, leaving a scratch mark over a hundred meters long beneath his feet.
Seeing that the vengeful spirits within his Blood Soul Banner and his own spiritual energy were about to be exhausted, and under the threat of death, the Foundation Establishment evil cultivator immediately begged for mercy:
"Young man... young friend, don't kill me, I promise I won't reveal your secret!"
And I won't tell Lord Gu your information!
From now on, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a good person, really!
Please spare my life!
Upon hearing the other party's plea for mercy, Xiao Yan's lips curled upwards. He controlled his sword with his mind and then pushed it through the air.
"I only believe in the dead!"
With a soft "whoosh," the fire sword pierced through the evil cultivator's body, and flames spread, burning him to ashes.
As the dust settled, Xiao Yan looked towards the bushes where Zhang Xuanchen was hiding.
"Sir, you've been watching for so long, it's time to show yourself."
His voice was indifferent and extremely authoritative, making it impossible for anyone to feel any desire to resist.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen thought to himself:
Sure enough, although his current level of the Concealing Breath Technique was not low, it was simply not enough in front of a powerhouse like Venerable Burning Ruins.
"Brother Chen, be careful, there is a Nascent Soul in this person's body."
His strength is beyond what you can handle right now. If he goes all out, I can only block two of his moves at most.
Let's retreat. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild."
Under the oppressive aura of Venerable Burning Ruins, Zhang Xuanjing didn't even dare to show himself, otherwise he would definitely be discovered.
It can only be transmitted within Zhang Xuanchen's sea of consciousness.
She was unaware of Zhang Xuanchen's relationship with Xiao Yan, so her first thought was to run away.
Hearing Zhang Xuanjing's nervous voice, Zhang Xuanchen reassured him, "It's alright. Xiao Yan and I are old acquaintances, so he shouldn't make a move against me."
"And I also want to exchange something important for that remnant soul of his."
After saying that, he leaped up and arrived a hundred meters in front of Xiao Yan, his spiritual energy surging and his eyes icy cold.
He knew his disguise would be seen through, but that was exactly what he wanted.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan's expression faltered upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen.
"It's you."
Hearing his master's soft murmur, Xiao Yan asked, "Master, who is he?"
Zhang Xuanchen pretended not to hear Venerable Burning Ruins' murmurs.
A voice, chillingly indifferent, rang out: "Where is the original owner of this body?"
Where is my brother Xiao Yan?
Confess honestly, or I'll kill you!
His peak second-stage Qi and blood power, combined with his early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, erupted as he coldly stared at the young man before him.
The reason for doing this was twofold: firstly, to demonstrate her talent to the other party, and secondly, to show her concern for Xiao Yan.
This will increase the goodwill that the master and apprentice have towards you.
This will make it much easier to get benefits from Venerable Burning Ruins in the future.
Looking at Zhang Xuanchen in front of him, Venerable Burning Ruins was filled with surprise. He had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage in three years, and even his body refinement cultivation had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Was he even human?
He truly is a prodigy!
I never expected that so many extraordinary talents would emerge from this Immortal Continent of the South China Sea!
That's really strange.
Could it be that this time the destiny lies in the Immortal Continent of the South China Sea, rather than in the Immortal Continent of the Central Plains?
Seeing Zhang Xuanchen approaching with murderous intent, Venerable Burning Ruins nodded inwardly.
This kid is quite loyal and values relationships.
However, he was a bit reckless.
He dared to stand up for that silly boy Xiao Yan without even knowing his own background and strength. His courage is commendable, but his character still needs to be honed.
Although they have the capital to be arrogant, they still need to hide their shortcomings before they have fully matured.
Seeing that Zhang Xuanchen was about to swing his sword, Venerable Burning Void spoke up:
"Young friend Xuan Chen, please wait."
Xiao Yan is fine.
He then withdrew control of the body, intending to offer some guidance to Zhang Xuanchen, but Xiao Yan's body wouldn't allow it.
If this continues, he will explode and die within five minutes.
Let Xiao Yan talk to Zhang Xuanchen himself.
