241: 《Five-Character Hidden Heaven Technique》

Xu Sanyan rubbed her hair, knowing in his heart that this was not due to Xiang Tan's loyalty to him, but rather the Credit of the Purple Mountain Heart Planting Art.

He glanced at Lin Fan, nodded slightly, and felt a hint of satisfaction in his heart; his efforts in cultivating him had not been in vain, and he had indeed lived up to his expectations.

Although Lin Fan's cultivation was too low and he hadn't been of much help, his sincerity alone was commendable, and he could be greatly cultivated in the future.

"Why isn't Fairy Mo wearing a veil anymore?"

Xu Sanyan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Xiang Tan, a smile on his face, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Mo Qianqian's appearance.

Mo Qianqian frowned, looking at Xu Sanyan's leisurely demeanor, as if he didn't put her in his eyes at all, and couldn't help but feel displeased, her tone cold, "No need."

Xu Sanyan, having dealt with countless women, was extremely experienced. After a careful scrutiny, he noticed something. Not knowing what he thought of, he lightly poked upwards with his index finger, teasing, "Could it be... you've 'seen the light'?"

He intentionally emphasized the word 'seen'.

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Mo Qianqian had just asked, but seeing Xu Sanyan's lewd smile, she immediately realized, her face suddenly turning ugly. This sentence hit her sore spot.

"You're courting death!"

Behind him, Xiang Tan, 'seasoned in battle,' reacted instantly, her cheeks flushed crimson.

Senior Brother... why say such things.

"Stop with the nonsense. Hand over the Jade Slip, and I'll spare your life!" Mo Qianqian, new to such matters, was still a bit unaccustomed to these aggressive words.

Xu Sanyan immediately burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha... It truly is so! I wonder which hero's long spear was stained with blood?"

"I want you dead!!" Mo Qianqian gritted her teeth fiercely, screaming sharply, "Kill him!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Xu Sanyan threw his head back and laughed, completely fearless. The spiritual power surged within him, causing his clothes to swell, and a sharp Aura enveloped his body.

This Aura was definitely not something a Mystic Path Realm Cultivator could possess.

A thought rose in everyone's heart:

The Saint... has broken through again!

"Soul Refinement Realm?!"

"How is that possible!"

Mo Qianqian's eyes were filled with disbelief. The last time they met, he was still in the mid-stage Mystic Path Realm. How could he have broken through to the Soul Refinement Realm so quickly?

In just a few short days, she had lost her chastity, while he had broken through two realms, reaching Soul Refining?

Why is Heaven so unfair!

Infinite jealousy surged in Mo Qianqian's heart as she roared madly, "Kill him, kill him!"

What if he's in the Soul Refinement Realm? She had nine Ghost Generals by her side!

"Protect the Saint!"

Elder Ren's eyes darted around, and before anyone else could react, he had already taken the lead to confront a Ghost General. Even if he couldn't win, he had to show his stance.

"Protect the Saint!"

Qin Manyang appeared from somewhere, her face serious, even taking a moment to nod at Xu Sanyan, looking utterly loyal, as she controlled the golden bell to cooperate with Elder Ren.

Everyone's morale was boosted. The Saint's Breakthrough to Soul Refining carried a vastly different meaning.

Xu Sanyan's right hand made a grasping motion, and a great halberd instantly materialized. "Fairy Mo, come taste my great halberd!"

Xiang Tan blinked, "Hm?"

Stealing his thunder?

Mo Qianqian's face was indignant; the sentence sounded strange no matter how she heard it.

"Hmph!"

With a sharp cry from Xu Sanyan, the great halberd swung, its sharp, dark glow cleaving directly at the Ghost General in front of him. The dark ghostly Qi was instantly shattered.

The Ghost General hidden within showed panic, watching helplessly as the light swept past his body, then pierced through the wooden house and shot towards the horizon.

"Boom!"

The wooden house collapsed instantly, emitting a huge sound.

"Ah!"

The Ghost General let out a shrill scream, and the pervasive ghostly Qi instantly dissipated significantly, no longer as dense as before.

With just one strike, he had sustained a considerable injury.

Mo Qianqian stared at Xu Sanyan in disbelief. The Ghost General was in the early stage of the Soul Refinement Realm, just like him, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move?

"Quick, kill him!"

Mo Qianqian shrieked in a delicate voice, while simultaneously hardening her resolve, spiritual power surging within her.

In an instant, her face flushed, and then she lightly tapped her forehead with two fingers, as if brewing something.

Four of the nine Ghost Generals were entangled by Elder Ren and the others, while the remaining five attacked simultaneously from different directions. For a moment, towering ghostly Qi permeated, enveloping the wooden house.

"Hehehehehe..."

Xu Sanyan licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, his face fierce. A layer of crimson mist suddenly drifted around him, its color a few shades darker than before, completely enveloping him.

"Roar~!"

Suddenly, a sound not unlike a human roar came from the red mist. The earth-shattering roar caused the world to tremble.

Everyone's gaze subconsciously turned towards the red mist, only to see something slowly emerge from the crimson blood mist.

It had four arms and three eyes, holding a dark great halberd, its muscles bulging all over its body, and its dark, hollow eyes stared directly at the surrounding Ghost Generals.

Swish--

Xu Sanyan suddenly vanished from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside a Ghost General. That Ghost General's eyes were splitting with rage, staring in horror at the crimson figure before him.

The other Ghost Generals were shocked. Without time to think, they all joined the battle.

Inside the house, ghostly Qi and red mist intertwined, making it difficult for others to see what was happening inside. They could only hear the screams of the Ghost Generals.

"Bang!"

After the last muffled thud, everything seemed to return to calm. The dense ghostly Qi slowly dissipated as if ownerless, and the dark red figure was revealed from within, his crimson hair casually draped behind his head, like a demon lord descended upon the world.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at Xu Sanyan, afraid of attracting his attention.

Mo Qianqian looked dazed. She couldn't understand. Even if Ghost Generals were weaker than Cultivators, they shouldn't be unable to defeat him five-on-one, right?

The remaining four Ghost Generals exchanged glances. Now it was their turn to want to escape.

Mo Qianqian gritted her teeth fiercely, pointing her finger at Xu Sanyan, her beautiful face contorted with ferocity, and she shouted,

"Burial!"

As soon as her voice fell, Mo Qianqian's face suddenly turned pale, and blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth due to the backlash of spiritual power, but she still ignored it, staring fixedly at Xu Sanyan.

In an instant, the silent atmosphere shattered.

Xu Sanyan's heart skipped a beat, as if a great danger enveloped his entire body. A pressure came from the Void Realm, a feeling like being targeted by Heaven and Earth.

With her cultivation in the Mystic Path Realm, she could actually threaten a Soul Refinement Realm Cultivator. The power of this technique was truly extraordinary.

Xu Sanyan's vertical eye on his forehead slowly opened, and a large amount of red mist enveloped him. He tilted his head slightly, observing Heaven and Earth with his vertical eye. In the haze, he could vaguely see a giant coffin forming above his head.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Xu Sanyan's tone was grave, but he was also a little curious.

Huan Xier's heart tightened, his expression filled with awe, "She can actually use the 'Burial Character Art' now..."

Lin Fan was puzzled, "What does that mean?"

Huan Xier did not hide anything,

"This is a secret art not passed down from Shangyin Mountain, the Five Words Heaven Burying Technique, divided into Chaos, Punishment, Burial, Death, and Life. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. Before, Mo Qianqian could only barely use the 'Punishment Character Art.' I didn't expect her to improve so quickly..."

Huan Xier was amazed yet somewhat disappointed. Perhaps his talent truly couldn't compare to Mo Qianqian's. He still found it difficult to consistently use the 'Punishment Character Art'.
