242: One move to suppress the devil

As the Golden Core entered his body, the world inverted.

Fang Yuan could clearly feel an unprecedented surge of immense power coursing and roaring through his limbs and bones.

The entire world, in his perception, became clearer than ever before.

"Go!"

A shrill shriek dragged everyone's thoughts back from the shock of Fang Yuan's Breakthrough.

Xuan Xi's crimson eyes stared fixedly at Fang Yuan, devoid of his previous arrogance and cruelty, leaving only fear.

He frantically shouted at Xi Ci beside him.

"Run! We can't win!"

A Foundation Establishment Stage lightning cultivator already had them tied up, and now the opponent had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and it was a lightning-attributed Golden Core that had even triggered a Heavenly Tribulation!

How could they possibly fight now?

Were they supposed to sacrifice their lives?!

Xi Ci's heart constricted sharply.

He was calmer than Xuan Xi and could more clearly assess the desperate situation before them.

The tide had turned!

Without the slightest hesitation, a look of grim determination flashed in Xi Ci's eyes, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard.

Pfft!

A mouthful of vital blood spurted out, turning into a bloody mist that merged into her body. Her Aura instantly surged, and her speed reached its peak.

She forcefully shook off Gu Qinghan, who was attacking her from both sides, and her figure turned into a blurry black shadow, fleeing madly towards the distant horizon without looking back!

"Trying to run?!"

Liu Lian and the others roared, instinctively moving to pursue.

"Roar!"

Xuan Xi, however, let out an inhuman roar at this moment. Already maddened by consuming the evil elixir, he now completely abandoned all reason.

He spun around abruptly, no longer bothering with Fang Yuan in the distance, but instead unleashed all his attacks on the Kunlun Students who were preparing to pursue!

He wanted to use his final madness to buy Xi Ci time to escape!

Violent Devilish Qi transformed into sharp claws and tentacles, overwhelming them.

Xuan Xi was fighting with his life on the line. For a time, the students who had just been able to contend with him were suppressed by his reckless Aura, retreating repeatedly.

The Heavenly General phantom possessing Li Qingyuan was torn with a claw, letting out a muffled groan, blood spilling from her lips.

The water curtain set up by Zhang Qiqi also sizzled as it was corroded by the violent Devilish Qi.

Everyone instantly fell into a disadvantage.

Xuan Xi seized an opening, his figure appearing like a ghost behind Han Li, his dark claws striking directly at his back!

"Watch out!"

Everyone cried out in alarm, but help was already too late.

Han Li felt a deadly chill envelop his entire body, even his thoughts slowed by half a beat.

It's over.

Just at this critical moment.

Rip!

A purple lightning bolt appeared out of thin air, as if tearing space, arriving later but striking first, precisely hitting Xuan Xi's claw.

The protective evil cultivation technique, strong enough to defend against golden core stage magic treasures, was as fragile as paper before this lightning, instantly pierced and annihilated.

"Ah!"

Xuan Xi let out a tragic scream, his entire body blasted away by the immense force, tumbling clumsily for a dozen turns in mid-air before stabilizing himself.

He looked down to see his right claw was charred black and still smoking, a piercing pain and numbness rushing to his brain.

Xuan Xi's face was as dark as water, and he suddenly looked up.

Not far away, Fang Yuan stood suspended in the air.

There were no longer violent lightning snakes around him, his sleeves flapped in the strong winds at ten thousand meters high, his black hair fluttered, his face was stern, and deep in his eyes, fragmented lightning flickered.

His entire being exuded an otherworldly Immortal Qi, like a banished immortal descended to the mortal world.

Fang Yuan's cold gaze fell upon Xuan Xi, devoid of any emotion.

He slowly opened his mouth.

"To deal with you, one move is enough."

At these words, Xuan Xi was first stunned, then as if he had heard some huge joke, he burst into mad laughter.

"Hahahahaha! One move?!"

"You, a mere brat who just broke through to the Golden Core Stage, dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me?!"

"I admit your lightning technique restrains me, but to think you can kill me in one move, you're dreaming!"

Although he was repelled by Fang Yuan's casual strike, he had consumed an evil elixir, making his strength comparable to a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator!

This kid was too arrogant!

However, Fang Yuan had no intention of wasting words with him.

Facing Xuan Xi's wild laughter, he simply slowly raised his right hand.

The next second.

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds, which had gradually calmed down, suddenly surged violently again!

Endless lightning power, as if attracted by some fatal force, frantically converged towards Fang Yuan's palm!

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand... countless purple electric arcs compressed and condensed in his palm, finally forming a purple lightning ball only the size of a fist, but radiating a destructive Aura.

Palm Thunder!

But this Palm Thunder was completely different from before!

It contained the power of the Heavenly Tribulation lightning that had just cleansed his Golden Core!

"This... what is this?!"

Xuan Xi's laughter abruptly stopped, the expression on his face instantly froze, replaced by boundless horror.

He could feel that the tiny lightning ball contained terrifying energy capable of completely obliterating him!

He wanted to escape, but a majestic heavenly might had locked onto him, rendering him unable to move.

"No..."

Xuan Xi only had time to let out a desperate roar.

Fang Yuan's eyes were cold, and he gently pushed his palm forward.

Whoosh!

The purple lightning ball instantly vanished from its original spot.

Its speed was so fast that it even exceeded Xuan Xi's perception limit!

When he saw the purple flash again, the lightning ball had already imprinted itself on his chest.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only an extreme silence.

The purple lightning, like a maggot attached to bone, instantly drilled into Xuan Xi's body, frantically destroying everything within him under his terrified and desperate gaze.

His Meridians, his Dantian, his immense Devilish Qi cultivated by the evil elixir... before the tribulation lightning, they were utterly destroyed, unable to withstand a single blow!

Pfft!

Xuan Xi violently spat out a mouthful of black blood, his entire Aura rapidly withered at a visible speed, and he fell weakly from mid-air.

Severely injured!

Xi Ci, who was frantically fleeing at the edge of the horizon, looked back instinctively.

With just one glance, he saw Xuan Xi severely wounded by a single move, falling like a kite with a broken string.

Xi Ci's pupils suddenly constricted to pinpricks!

She didn't hesitate, biting her tongue again. This time, she wasn't burning vital blood, but her own cultivation Origin!

Whoosh!

Xi Ci's speed once again surged several times, turning into an almost invisible black dot, completely disappearing into the sky.

Her speed was so fast that all the Kunlun Students, except for Fang Yuan, had no time to react and stop her.

"Damn it! Don't run!"

Liu Lian cursed angrily, summoning his Flying Sword to chase after her.

"Don't pursue a cornered foe."

Xie Wangsheng's calm voice sounded in time, stopping him.

"First, capture Xuan Xi and extract the roots of 'the Company' from him; that's the most important thing."

"As for that Xi Ci..."

Xie Wangsheng pushed his non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone flat but full of confidence.

"When we return to Kunlun, I and my classmates from the Formation System will personally deduce her location. She won't escape."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, agreeing with Xie Wangsheng's suggestion.

Below, the severely injured Xuan Xi still struggled to get up, his eyes filled with venom.

Fang Yuan simply pointed his finger from a distance.

A lightning chain appeared out of thin air, instantly binding Xuan Xi tightly, completely sealing all the remaining cultivation within his body.

The Devilish Qi on Xuan Xi's body rapidly dissipated, and he reverted to his original human form, lying weakly on the ruins of the skyscraper.

He roared unwillingly.

"You all wait! Kunlun Academy... you will all regret this!"

"When the few adults from headquarters descend, all of you will become Materials for human elixirs! Hahahaha!"

Han Li slowly stepped forward, looking down at him, a sneer on his lips.

"Noisy."

Liu Lian also came closer, kicking a piece of rubble next to Xuan Xi, and chuckled.

"Headquarters, you say? Once we interrogate you thoroughly, your headquarters will be ours to pay a visit to."

Xuan Xi was choked by the two of them, almost spitting out another mouthful of blood in anger, and finally could only close his mouth venomously.
