396: A powerful body cultivator!

Heavenly Poison Holy Son never dreamed that his demise would be so swift and unexpected.

It wasn't until the blood of the Heavenly Poison Holy Son splattered onto them that those nearby realized this arrogant "big shot" had actually been "crushed" by someone.

The Heavenly Poison Holy Son's subordinates were shocked.

They were filled with fear.

As the Heavenly Poison Holy Son's subordinates, they had the responsibility to protect the Saint. Now, the Saint had been reduced to a pile of minced meat, while they were still alive and well.

A Cultivator shouted, "Stop her! Don't let her go to the ancestral tree! If she escapes, we're all finished!"

If they caught this woman, even if they just killed her, it would be better than doing nothing.

In the Yousen Domain, they had no intention of fleeing from the Heavenly Poison Sect.

They couldn't escape. Besides, those Gu insects knew their scent; where could they possibly run to?

Upon hearing this, everyone realized. That's right.

The Heavenly Poison Holy Son was already dead. If they let the culprit escape, would the Heavenly Poison Sect let them off?

Hatred and fear intertwined.

They had witnessed Shen Jinhuan crush the Saint in one go and dared not act rashly. The group surrounded Shen Jinhuan, forming a posture of hunting and reaping.

On the other side.

The retainers of Saintess Qing Ling of the Qing Ling Sect were watching.

"Saintess, I didn't expect that little girl to look so weak, yet be so ferocious. It's a pity that the Heavenly Poison Holy Son was so arrogant and overbearing, claiming to be the number one of the younger generation, yet he couldn't even beat a little girl. He didn't even have a chance to fight back."

"However, there is a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator among the Heavenly Poison Holy Son's subordinates. This girl is likely going to fall here. You wanted to recruit the girl's elders; do you want to intervene now? You can do them a favor then."

Saintess Qing Ling thought for a moment and shook her head.

"If we intervene in this matter, it will become friction between the Qing Ling Sect and the Heavenly Poison Sect. We cannot handle that. I can only say that when we get to the ancestral tree, if I see her elders, I will inform them. If it's too late, then that is her fate!"

After Saintess Qing Ling finished speaking, she vanished from the spot. Nothing was more important than the ancestral tree fruit now.

The Saintess's subordinates glanced at Shen Jinhuan's side; her fire phoenix armor was truly eye-catching. Then, they left.

Shen Jinhuan watched quietly as the group surrounded her. Inside the helmet, Shen Jinhuan pursed her lips, feeling somewhat displeased.

They had agreed to go get the fruit together, but she ended up getting tripped up here, and she would have to trouble Jiang Ning again later.

Shen Jinhuan clenched one hand. The phoenix feathers on her armor fell off one by one, turning into a long whip, which Shen Jinhuan gripped in her hand.

One of the Saint's retainers summoned his Gu insects from a vessel. They were a giant scorpion and a centipede. The others also released theirs.

For a moment, the area was filled with the stench of insect poison. Cultivators heading to the ancestral tree had to avoid this area and take a detour.

Shen Jinhuan's advantage as a Body Cultivator began to manifest. Coupled with the power of the fire phoenix armor, these poisonous gases could not enter Shen Jinhuan's body at all.

The giant poisonous scorpion moved quickly. Taking advantage of Shen Jinhuan being entangled with other poisonous insects, it thrust its stinger directly at Shen Jinhuan.

Clang!!! A loud bang.

"Heh, she's dead!" sneered the retainer at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Not even two seconds later, his smile froze on his face.

Shen Jinhuan, wearing the fire phoenix armor, stood in the air completely unscathed, while the scorpion's stinger remained stuck on the surface of Shen Jinhuan's armor, not even injuring her.

"How is this possible?!" he exclaimed in shock, "What Rank of defensive gear is this to have such an effect! Even the Saint didn't have such a Spiritual Artifact!"

He began to harbor thoughts of retreating. Being able to bring out a Spiritual Artifact of this Rank meant her status was naturally not low. But if her status wasn't low, why didn't he recognize who she was?

A person from an Outer Domain! In an instant, he guessed the answer.

He didn't make a scene and didn't think about asking others to help him.

He had long known that there were many domains more powerful than the Yousen Domain. This little girl's armor obviously didn't come from a small place! A proud daughter of heaven from an Outer Domain!

The retainer's eyes rolled, and he prepared to flee. Because of the Heavenly Poison Holy Son, he could no longer stay in the Heavenly Poison Sect, and now it was not worth offending a "person of power."

But could he really leave just because he wanted to?

Shen Jinhuan practiced both Body Cultivation and Dharma cultivation, and she had the support of Devilish Qi. Combined with the fire phoenix armor, it was enough to defy the natural order and kill such an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

In her mind, the myriad beast atlas lit up, and one Spirit Beast after another ran out.

Shen Jinhuan's fire phoenix armor crackled with electric arcs, looking majestic. She let out a cold snort.

The long whip in her hand reconfigured, turning into a blood-red spear. She kicked off with her feet.

The air whistled as she broke through it. Behind her, overlapping phantoms of Spirit Beasts seemed to appear; just looking at them made people feel fearful.

Shen Jinhuan unleashed her full aura. The Spiritual Qi within her body bolstered the long spear, combined with the explosive power of a Body Cultivator. Everything reached its peak!

The long spear swept past! The retainer, who didn't have much battle experience, had his heart pierced by the spear. Blood flowed.

The other party looked at the fire-red armor in front of him in disbelief. "No... impossible."

He could feel that the other party's cultivation was not higher than his. But why...

Back in the Xuanhuang Domain, some people had organized many others to successfully kill a Cultivator one minor Realm higher than themselves. They had even set up the venue in advance and made full preparations.

But this little girl... one person, one spear, she defied the natural order and won!

The retainer saw the gap between Realms and was terrified. His consciousness blurred.

Thump—as his consciousness returned to darkness, his corpse fell heavily from the air, completely silent.

One person, defying the natural order to kill someone of a higher Realm!

The retainers surrounding Shen Jinhuan panicked. The person just now was the only Late Stage Golden Core in the team. If even he was dead, did they really have the ability to kill this person?

It looked like she hadn't expended much energy. The few looked at each other.

"Go! Take advantage of now!"

Everyone scattered together. They didn't even dare to think about the ancestral tree fruit anymore. Escape first.

As for whether they would be caught in the future, that was a matter for later. If they stayed here, they might be killed by this little girl first.

They left quite decisively.

Once the master died, the poisonous scorpion and centipede released in the air began to become agitated. Without anyone controlling them, they would turn into poisonous vermin and wreak havoc.

This was also why everyone didn't want to fight to the death with Insect Cultivators. Even if you killed the opponent, you might not survive. Because the opponent's Gu insects would go berserk, and you would have to fight another battle.

The Gu insects looked at Shen Jinhuan, who was closest to them. They launched an attack, even more agile and agitated than before.

Shen Jinhuan dealt with the Gu insects calmly. Her mind was wondering, did Gu insects count as Spirit Beasts, and could they be collected into the myriad beast atlas?

Body Cultivators have the best endurance. Shen Jinhuan did not use the Devilish Qi in her Qi Sea. Instead, she stepped forward, neatly and swiftly grabbed the poisonous scorpion's tail, flipped over, and sat on the scorpion.

The centipede wanted to come and entangle her, but because of Shen Jinhuan, the poisonous scorpion kept moving around, and the centipede felt somewhat helpless.

Shen Jinhuan, on its back, had Protective Aura on her fists. She pounded the poisonous scorpion's head one blow after another.

Bang—the poisonous scorpion fell, its head beaten into a hole, the crystal inside taken by Shen Jinhuan, and it became silent forever.

Shen Jinhuan looked at the crystal core and put it into her Storage Ring. Then she looked at the centipede. The centipede: !!!
