597: Lu Xueqi (74)

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner! The Xuanming Sect actually refined such a malicious item!" Wang Shouren's expression darkened. This banner requires collecting and refining a large number of living souls, which goes against the laws of nature.

The protective light barrier quickly dimmed, showing signs of instability.

"Now!" True Man Chiyang was overjoyed, fully activating a gigantic flaming sword and fiercely slashing towards the weak point of the light barrier.

Just as the light barrier was about to shatter—

"Attack!" Su Han gave a low shout, darting out simultaneously with Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao.

Lu Xueqi merged with her sword, transforming into a world-shaking ice rainbow, shooting straight toward the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. "Bright Moon Sword Canon—Frost Covering the Sky!" Sword light scattered, and the extremely Yin and cold Sword Qi instantly froze the air. Even the vengeful spirits were frozen into icy powder. A layer of white frost covered the surface of the black banner, and its spiritual light drastically diminished.

Bi Yao formed hand seals, chanting incantations as the Witch Clan Bloodline Power surged. "Hundred Gu True Scripture—Thousand Threads, Ten Thousand Strands!" Countless Spiritual Gu threads, invisible to the naked eye, flew from her fingertips, silently wrapping around the Xuanming Sect Cultivators controlling the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The Cultivators immediately felt their spiritual power stagnate and their Divine Souls grow hazy, greatly reducing their control over their Magic Treasure.

Su Han, however, had a clear target: True Man Chiyang! The Golden Core within him circulated, spiritual power surged, and he threw a punch. It seemed simple and unadorned, yet it contained a trace of the Reincarnation and Transmigration Art Concept. Where the Punch Force passed, space slightly warped.

True Man Chiyang was caught off guard and hastily used the gigantic flaming sword to block.

Boom!

Fist and sword collided, unleashing astonishing Qi waves. True Man Chiyang felt an indescribable immense force, mixed with a strange power that corroded the Divine Soul, causing his Qi and blood to churn. He retreated several steps, his face filled with shock. He was already at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage, yet he was repelled by a single punch from a boy who had just achieved a Golden Core Breakthrough?

"This boy is strange! Protector Bai, let's attack together!" True Man Chiyang was both surprised and enraged.

Protector Bai answered the call and attacked Su Han together with True Man Chiyang.

Su Han remained fearless in the face of danger, fully utilizing the insights he had gained over three days. His movement technique was more elusive, and faint phantoms of Reincarnation and Destruction flickered between his fists and feet. Although they couldn't truly affect time and space, they made it difficult for his opponents to track his movements, and their spiritual power circulation was often disrupted by that strange Concept.

On the other side, Lu Xueqi's sword light was like a Dragon, having completely frozen the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. She then shifted her sword momentum and plunged into the Xuanming Sect Cultivators, moving as if through an uninhabited land. Bi Yao's Gu art was unpredictable, either poisoning her targets or causing them to be plagued by illusions, greatly disrupting the allied forces' formation.

Seeing this, Wang Shouren also let out a hearty laugh and joined the fray. His cultivation far surpassed everyone present, and with a single move, he suppressed several enemy Elders.

The Black Witch Clan warriors' morale soared, and they launched a counterattack under the command of Grand Elder Moyuan.

The tide of the battle began to turn.

The Ghost Eye Demon Lord, hidden in the shadows, snorted, "A bunch of trash!" He originally intended to wait until both sides were severely wounded before making a move to seize the fragment, but now it seemed he had to act early. His figure flickered, turning into a wisp of black smoke, silently bypassing the main battlefield and heading straight for the center of the tribe—he sensed the reincarnation mirror fragment was there!

However, just as he approached the altar, a golden light flashed, and Wang Shouren's figure blocked his path.

"Devil Head, I have been waiting for a long time!"

"Wang Shouren, you have repeatedly ruined my plans. Today, I shall settle this with you!" The Ghost Eye Demon Lord revealed his form, Devilish Qi surging, and fiercely engaged Wang Shouren. Their cultivations were comparable, making it difficult to determine a winner instantly.

Seeing that Wang Shouren had intercepted the Ghost Eye Demon Lord, Su Han felt slightly relieved and focused entirely on dealing with True Man Chiyang and Protector Bai. He fought with increasing vigor, becoming more proficient in using the power of the Golden Core Stage, and continuously comprehending the various subtleties of the Reincarnation and Transmigration Art through actual combat.

In the middle of the fierce battle, the reincarnation mirror fragment in Su Han's arms suddenly trembled violently, emitting a strong sense of yearning, pointing towards a certain direction on the battlefield!

Su Han's heart stirred, and he looked over, only to see a subtle Aura, originating from the same source as the reincarnation mirror, faintly emanating from an ordinary Qingxia Sect Disciple!

"The third fragment!" Su Han was greatly shaken. He hadn't expected the other fragment to appear in this manner!

He feigned a move, shook off the entanglement of True Man Chiyang and Protector Bai, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards that "Qingxia Sect Disciple."

Seeing Su Han rushing over, the Disciple's expression changed. He stopped concealing himself, and an astonishing Aura erupted from his body, no longer hiding his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation! He tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a pale and demonic countenance.

"Old Freak Youquan!" Someone gasped. This was a notorious Loose Cultivator from the Demonic Path.

"Boy, your senses are quite sharp!" Old Freak Youquan gave a sinister laugh and reached out to grab Su Han. "Hand over the fragment!"

It turned out he had infiltrated the allied forces, also waiting for an opportunity to seize the fragment from Su Han!

Su Han remained completely fearless. The mutual attraction and repulsion between the reincarnation mirror fragments formed a strange force field. "Reincarnation and Transmigration Art—A Single Thought, Reincarnation!" He fully activated his Cultivation Technique, and his Divine Sense transformed into an invisible impact, stabbing directly at Old Freak Youquan's Divine Soul.

Old Freak Youquan hadn't expected Su Han to possess such a bizarre attack method. His Divine Soul was momentarily pierced and dazed. In that instant, Su Han's fist edge arrived, solidly impacting his chest.

*Pfft!*

Old Freak Youquan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. An object flew out of his embrace—it was precisely the third reincarnation mirror fragment!

Su Han was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing it instantly!

With the three fragments gathered, the resonance intensified. Chaotic light shone brightly, and the fragments actually flew up on their own, circling above Su Han's head. Fine light threads began to extend from the broken edges, attempting to connect!

The world changed color, and an indescribably ancient pressure permeated the area.

Everyone was shocked by this phenomenon and involuntarily ceased fighting.

Greed and madness appeared in the Ghost Eye Demon Lord's eyes: "The reincarnation mirror! It's mine!" Ignoring Wang Shouren's attack, he desperately rushed toward Su Han.

True Man Chiyang, Protector Bai, and the others also realized what a treasure the circling fragments were, their eyes filled with greed.

"Protect Su Han!" Wang Shouren roared, putting all his effort into blocking the Ghost Eye Demon Lord.

Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao immediately abandoned their opponents and guarded Su Han on either side.

Grand Elder Moyuan activated the ancestor spirit power, and a thick pillar of light enveloped Su Han and the fragments.

Nourished by the ancestor spirit power, the three fragments accelerated their Fusion, gradually forming the shape of an incomplete mirror disk, but still missing nearly half.

Just at this critical moment, another change occurred!

The sky suddenly darkened, and a pressure countless times more terrifying than that of the Ghost Eye Demon Lord descended, as if the entire firmament were collapsing!

A gigantic black hand, condensed from Devilish Qi and covering the sky, stretched out from the clouds, grabbing towards the reincarnation mirror that had just begun to condense! Before the hand even arrived, its terrifying might caused everyone, including Wang Shouren and the Ghost Eye Demon Lord, to feel suffocating pressure!

"This is... the Heavenly Demon Palm! It's the Holy Cult Leader!" The Ghost Eye Demon Lord cried out in shock, fear appearing on his face for the first time.

Su Han looked up at the sky, facing the world-destroying gigantic palm. Sensing the anxious and unyielding Concept transmitted from the reincarnation mirror fragment in his arms, inspiration struck him. He poured all his spiritual power, Divine Sense, and even the trace of Reincarnation Concept he had just comprehended, without reservation, into the incomplete mirror disk above his head.
