263: Stone Nightmare Taoist

"No... don't kill me!"

Fear finally appeared in Wang Xiao's eyes. He struggled to crawl backward and rasped:

"You can't kill me! I... I have the Qingshi Sect behind me! A second-rank Sect! The Sect Master is an Integration Supreme! If you kill me, the Qingshi Sect will never let you off! You will die without a place to be buried!"

Qingshi Sect?

Body Integration Stage?

Chen Yuan's footsteps paused slightly.

He hadn't expected that a Family struggle in such a remote place would involve a second-rank Sect.

The Body Integration Stage was indeed quite a bit of trouble for him at the moment.

Seeing Chen Yuan stop, Wang Xiao acted as if he had caught a literal straw to save his life and hurriedly said:

"Yes! The Qingshi Sect! My Wang Family has already secretly joined them! If you let me go, I can act as if today's events never happened, and I can even let the Lin Family continue to survive in Qingshan City!

Otherwise, once the Sect Master finds out, not only will you die, but everyone in the Lin Family and even the entire Qingshan City will be buried with me!"

Hearing this, the look of hope that had just risen on the faces of Lin Zhennan and the Lin Family members was instantly replaced by even greater fear.

A second-rank Sect! A Body Integration powerhouse! Those were behemoths they couldn't even imagine!

Everyone's gaze focused on the eight-year-old boy holding the sword.

Should he stop here, or... Chen Yuan looked at Wang Xiao, who was fierce in appearance but weak within, unable to hide the resentment in his eyes, and suddenly smiled softly.

That smile carried an indifference as if looking down at an ant.

"Qingshi Sect? Body Integration Stage?"

The sword in his hand slowly rose, the tip pointing at the center of Wang Xiao's forehead, as the Five Elements Sword Dao Law began to condense once more.

"Is it that impressive?"

As the words fell, Chen Yuan's hand rose and the sword fell, the sword light crisscrossing.

The terror and disbelief in Wang Xiao's eyes were frozen forever.

Wang Xiao's body slumped powerlessly to the ground, a single red mark on his forehead; his Divine Soul was completely extinguished.

The smell of blood permeating the air and the Sword Qi that had yet to dissipate made the front courtyard of the Lin Residence deathly silent.

However, this silence did not last long.

In less than ten breaths, a Body Integration pressure boomed down!

In an instant, all Cultivators in the city, regardless of their cultivation level, felt their hearts sink.

Those with low cultivation levels even slumped directly to the ground, trembling.

Even the remnants of the Wang Family outside the Lin Residence, who were still watching in fear, were silenced like cicadas in winter under this pressure, filled with unease.

A thin, elderly figure dressed in a dark green Daoist robe suddenly appeared in mid-air, right above Wang Xiao's corpse.

It was exactly the Sect Master of the Qingshi Sect, Daoist Shi Yan.

He lowered his eyes to glance at Wang Xiao's corpse on the ground, his gaze lingering slightly on the sword mark on the forehead; no joy or anger could be seen on his withered face.

He lifted his eyelids, his gaze like a venomous snake, locking onto Chen Yuan who stood below with his sword.

The moment Daoist Shi Yan appeared, Chen Yuan's heart tightened.

It wasn't just because of the opponent's powerful Body Integration Stage cultivation, but also because of the faint Devilish Qi subtly emanating from his body.

In his past life, he might not have been able to tell.

But in this life, he was reborn in the Demon Race; even if it was concealed, it had nowhere to hide in his eyes.

"Who killed Wang Xiao!" Daoist Shi Yan's voice rolled like thunder, piercing through everyone's eardrums and reaching their hearts. Some Cultivators with weak minds were now bleeding from their seven orifices, slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

Wang Xiao was his tentacle, and now he had actually been killed.

Previously, Wang Xiao had discovered a Mahayana ruin. Knowing he couldn't keep it a secret, he went to the Qingshi Sect alone and told Daoist Shi Yan about the Mahayana ruin.

After investigating, Daoist Shi Yan discovered that this Secret Realm was actually the place where a Mahayana Cultivator of the Demon Race had passed away!

Wang Xiao's blade and Cultivation Technique both came from there.

Inside the Secret Realm was a blood pool that could increase one's cultivation, but the price was a continuous supply of blood food.

Daoist Shi Yan's Lifespan was nearing its end, and he was stuck at Body Integration Perfection.

To break through the shackles and extend his life, he ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and used the blood pool to Cultivate.

And the operation of the blood pool required a large number of living beings for blood sacrifice.

Wang Xiao became one of the minions he planted in Qingyan City, responsible for secretly collecting blood food!

Now that Wang Xiao was dead, Daoist Shi Yan had a reason to personally intervene and openly wash Qingyan City in blood.

Despite his apparent fury, he was actually overjoyed inside.

"It was me!" Chen Yuan's voice rang out, neither humble nor arrogant.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he used the Formation to disperse Daoist Shi Yan's demonic voice. Only then did Lin Zhennan, Lin Qiao, and the others regain their senses.

Daoist Shi Yan naturally didn't believe Chen Yuan had killed him.

Currently, Chen Yuan had restrained his Sword Intent, looking no different from a little brat.

He didn't care who killed him, as long as someone admitted to it.

He spoke slowly, his voice dry and raspy, carrying a feigned anger:

"How bold! To dare kill the head of a Family affiliated with my Qingshi Sect and destroy my Sect's feelers! At such a young age, your heart is so vicious; I cannot let you live! Today, I shall use your blood and the blood of all living beings in this city to sacrifice to Clan Chief Wang!"

While he spoke high-sounding words, the thirst for blood food in the depths of his eyes was almost overflowing.

Before his voice even faded, he had already raised a withered, chicken-claw-like hand and pressed down lightly toward Chen Yuan and the Lin Residence!

The Void Realm changed abruptly, and devilish clouds rolled,

A grayish-black giant palm covering nearly half of the Lin Residence condensed from the devilish clouds and crashed down!

"Be careful, Young Master!" The sisters Lin Qiao and Lin Wei turned pale and cried out in alarm.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately operated the Formation with all his might!

The Five Elements Sword Dao Law erupted from the Formation, instantly slashing onto the giant palm.

Boom!

The five-colored sword light was dazzlingly bright, instantly splitting the giant palm in half from the middle. The sword light's power remained undiminished as it sliced through the sky and pierced the devilish clouds.

Beams of sunlight shone through where the devilish clouds had split.

"What? How is this possible?" Daoist Shi Yan suddenly exclaimed.

His Divine Ability was actually broken by a little brat?

At this moment, Chen Yuan's face was pale, and he kept taking out Medicinal Pills to swallow.

Damn it! That almost sent me to see my great-grandmother!

Chen Yuan complained inwardly!

Seeing him like this, Daoist Shi Yan quickly calmed down.

"Kid, this Formation of yours is not bad! But you seem to be struggling to use it!"

Daoist Shi Yan quickly figured it out; this brat must have some Opportunity. He probably had a Formation Plate to control the Formation in his hand, and clearly, this Formation Plate required a lot of energy, which Chen Yuan simply couldn't handle.

He never associated Chen Yuan with being a Formation Master.

Because that was simply impossible!

The Lin Family fell into despair once again.

Lin Zhennan, Lin Qiao, and Lin Wei's faces were ashen.

"It is indeed a struggle!" Chen Yuan did not deny it.

But he suddenly changed his tone, his voice rising sharply, "Devil Head, I will give you a chance: get lost now. Otherwise, in a moment, when my Dao Companions arrive, you and the Qingshi Sect behind you will both be wiped from this world."

As the words fell, the entire scene became deathly silent.

Lin Qiao and Lin Wei glanced at each other.

What did Chen Yuan just say? His Dao Companions?

An eight-year-old brat, where would he get Dao Companions?
