120: Kill the Silver Fox, the Soul Control Orb

The giant hoof, imbued with immense power, collided with the surging Sword Qi, and spatial ripples spread out like water droplets on a mirror.

The Void Realm emitted an ear-piercing hum, and the bricks, tiles, and beams of the city below were crushed into powder by the aftershock, raising a sky-obscuring dust cloud.

Xiao Shaoyou tapped his toes repeatedly in mid-air, and streaks of sword light condensed beneath his feet, slowing his descent.

Xi Jianqiang's right leg, covered in demonic patterns, was now only shattered bones and residue, with dark red blood congealing into droplets in mid-air.

Before the demonic Qi could surge to repair his body, Xiao Shaoyou had already landed, sending shattered stones flying and creating a thirty-foot crater, then shot up from the murky dust, a glowing white sword light, even more brilliant than before, tearing through the sky.

The Rhinoceros Demon's sole remaining left limb had barely lifted a foot when the biting Sword Qi already severed its thick neck.

Before the massive rhino head could hit the ground, Xiao Shaoyou had already spun and closed in, a dense net of sword light enveloping the enormous demonic body.

Flesh fragments, accompanied by a foul wind, exploded outwards, leaving only a faint, almost imperceptible Divine Soul fluctuation that slipped through the gaps in the Sword Qi, fleeing in panic.

"Trying to escape?" Xiao Shaoyou snorted coldly, golden light shining in his eyes. He saw through to the Rhinoceros Demon's Divine Soul with a glance, and with a swing of his longsword, a streak of Sword Qi pierced through space. The rhinoceros Divine Soul, which had just escaped a hundred zhang, instantly shattered, utterly dead.

Immediately, his gaze flickered, and he pursued a red-scaled demon that was flying north.

Just then, Xiao Zhuo, hidden high in the sky, stirred slightly, and a faint smile touched his lips.

"He's here!" He smiled faintly, and the Soul Power of his third-rank soul infant suddenly erupted from his body.

An invisible spear quietly appeared.

On the other side, just as Xiao Shaoyou, transformed into sword light, caught up behind the red-scaled demon, a tiny spatial distortion suddenly appeared. Immediately, a dozen spatial blades formed from Shattered Realm between Xiao Shaoyou and the red-scaled demon swept towards the fatty.

Xiao Shaoyou's figure froze, and with a flick of his wrist, seven sword lotuses bloomed, their glowing white petals colliding with the spatial blades, sparking.

"Chi chi" sounds rang out continuously.

Xiao Shaoyou's sword lotuses shattered one after another. Just then, unnoticed by anyone, a spear made of Divine Soul had already pierced through the Void Realm from high in the sky, entering the inner space.

In the inner space, a silver-haired man with captivating, fox-like eyes seemed to peer through the spatial barrier, observing something, his hands still moving constantly.

Just as the spatial blades in the outer world shattered the sword light Xiao Shaoyou had hastily conjured, a slight smile touched his lips, and a cruel glint appeared in his eyes.

"This must be that scoundrel Azure Heaven's Disciple. If you had hidden behind him, I wouldn't have been able to act so easily, but you just had to come to Liangzhou to die," Silver Fox Zi Ji muttered casually, while remotely controlling the spatial blades to attack Xiao Shaoyou.

Almost simultaneously, the Spear of Nothingness had already appeared a hundred meters above the silver-haired man's head.

Silver Fox Zi Ji suddenly felt a surge of unease. He immediately transformed into a silver light, about to disappear, but the Spear of Nothingness had already pierced through the hundred-meter distance and plunged into his head.

"Ah!"

Zi Ji immediately let out a cry of pain, his body losing control. His body, which had not yet transformed into silver light, suddenly reverted, trembling uncontrollably in place.

But this trembling only lasted for less than three breaths before it completely stopped.

He was dead.

Xiao Zhuo's Spear of Nothingness was the strongest attack of a third-rank soul infant.

Even so, it still failed to instantly kill this silver fox, indicating that this person's Divine Soul still had other means.

Sensing his success, Xiao Zhuo tapped the Void Realm with a finger, and his entire being also entered the inner space, appearing beside Zi Ji's corpse in the blink of an eye.

With Zi Ji's death, the spatial blades that were twisting towards Xiao Shaoyou all lost control and disintegrated.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his round face. Xiao Shaoyou instantly guessed that Xiao Zhuo had succeeded, but he looked around and saw no one. After a moment of searching, he once again pursued the red-scaled demon, which had fled another hundred li.

In the inner space, Xiao Zhuo pointed a finger at the silver-haired man's glabella, and his Divine Sense instantly surged into his body.

After a brief inspection, Xiao Zhuo quickly discovered that a purple orb was suspended within this person's Sea of Consciousness.

His thoughts focused on the orb.

"Soul Control Pearl: a low-grade earth rank soul treasure. Injecting Soul Power can activate a Divine Soul defensive barrier, or it can be refined into a soul infant to enhance Divine Soul defense."

"No wonder that one strike almost shattered my Spear of Nothingness. If the Divine Soul gap hadn't been so large, he might have really escaped!" Xiao Zhuo admired the description of the purple orb, marveling in his heart.

This silver fox was truly a treasure-giving boy. Not only did he give Xiao Zhuo an Earth-Grade soul treasure, but even his body was a good treasure.

Xiao Zhuo unhesitatingly performed the Soul Splitting Divine Ability, and a seven-colored stream of light overflowed from his glabella, instantly injecting into this body.

This silver fox's Divine Soul had just shattered. By refining it as quickly as possible and absorbing its Divine Soul memories, he might even learn the origin of this treasure orb. After all, an Earth-Grade treasure should not appear in this barren Minor Thousand Worlds.

About half a day passed, and the Split Soul was completed. Xiao Zhuo left his second Split Soul in the inner space and departed through the Void Realm himself.

He was going to hunt the remaining Yuan Realm demons.

At this moment, there were truly fewer and fewer Yuan Realm demons to kill, and his Attribute Points were already somewhat insufficient. He now also knew that after going to the Middle Thousand Worlds, Attribute Points would be converted into Attribute Points that could be used in the Middle Thousand Worlds, so he naturally wanted to accumulate more.

After all, once the Yuan Realm demons were all killed, his source of Attribute Points would be cut off, unless he went to other worlds.

In the Blood Demon Realm, Xue Hai appeared in a blood-colored city.

People came and went here, all of them Cultivators. His conspicuous blood-red robe had long been replaced with a dark hooded cloak.

The brim of his hood was pulled low, covering most of his face.

This was a Demonic Path market.

Most of the Cultivators here were Loose Cultivators. Markets were common gathering places for Cultivators in the Blood Demon Realm, and also relatively safe places.

Markets were generally established by larger local forces and provided protection.

Fighting was forbidden within the market. Of course, if you were strong enough, strong enough that even the Sect behind the market dared not provoke you, then you could naturally ignore the rules.

But if you weren't strong enough, then you had to follow the market's rules.

This market was called Xue Yuan, established by the Blood Shadow Tower, an outer force of the Abyssal Blood Palace. Basically, no one dared to provoke the Blood Shadow Tower, so it was very safe.

However, even so, most Cultivators active within it still disguised their appearance and demeanor. After all, in this man-eat-man Demonic Path world, if you provoked someone, being safe in the market didn't mean you were safe outside.

Xue Hai walked through a street lined with various stalls, his eyes constantly scanning around.

"Violent Yuan Dan: a Low Grade profound rank Medicinal Pill. Consuming it can stimulate the user's potential, allowing them to unleash double their strength. Side effects: a 100% chance of entering a weak period afterwards, lasting seven days; a 30% chance of causing Meridians to rupture."

"Black Flame Sword: a high-grade profound rank demonic treasure. Comes with Black Demonic Flame, posing a certain threat even to Void Refining Realm Cultivators. Durability: High, Attack Boost: 50%."

"Hundred soul banner: a Low Grade profound rank demonic treasure. It has already collected a hundred Transcendent Realm soul bodies, possessing certain Divine Soul attack capabilities. Durability: Medium, Attack Boost: 10%."

With the help of the System's Golden Finger, various item information appeared in Xue Hai's eyes.

However, either they were useless to him, or their prices were too high; his newly acquired fortune was completely insufficient to buy them.

The Storage Pouch he had seized from the Slaughter Demon Palace Disciple contained a total of just over three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, forty-two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and not a single High Grade. Most of these came from Xiang Qi's Storage Pouch; the Storage Pouches of other Outer Sect Disciples generally contained only a few or a dozen Spirit Stones, along with some Low Grade Medicinal Pills.

The only thing of some interest was a copy of the Nine Yang Demonic Fire Art in Xiang Qi's Storage Pouch. This was a cultivation art used for refining Medicinal Pills, and also a cultivation art that could condense Nine Yang Demonic Fire for combat.
