738: Chapter 738 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (117)

After a fierce battle, those black shadows were gradually slain until only a few remained, fleeing back into the mist and disappearing.

After the battle ended, the Disciples were all panting for breath, their faces filled with horror. This was the first time they had seen such eerie things; they were immune to ordinary attacks and could only be slain with Purification Power, which was truly terrifying.

"What exactly are these things?" a Disciple from the Zixia Sect couldn't help but ask, his voice carrying a hint of a tremble.

Su Han frowned and said, "These things should be eerie Cultivators cultivated by Elder Yin Yang using the bizarre power of the Ancient Altar, combined with Death Qi and Devilish Qi, known as 'Yinsha Puppets.' These Puppets have no consciousness and only know how to slaughter. Moreover, they are immune to ordinary attacks and are very difficult to deal with. It seems Elder Yin Yang anticipated our arrival and set an ambush here in advance."

"Yinsha Puppets?" A flash of solemnity crossed Fairy Yuehua's eyes. "I didn't expect Elder Yin Yang to be able to cultivate such eerie Puppets. It seems his strength is even greater than we imagined."

"Indeed," Su Han nodded. "Furthermore, this is only an ambush on the outskirts of the God-Burying Abyss; the dangers inside will surely be even greater. We must be more cautious and cannot afford even the slightest carelessness."

Everyone nodded one after another, their expressions becoming even more solemn.

After resting for a moment and recovering some spiritual power, the group continued to fly toward the depths of the God-Burying Abyss. Along the way, they encountered several more waves of Yinsha Puppet ambushes, as well as some powerful Yao Beasts. These Yao Beasts had grown up nourished by the Death Qi and eerie power of the God-Burying Abyss, possessing great strength and brutal temperaments, which caused Su Han and the others no small amount of trouble.

But Su Han and the others did not retreat. Leading the group, Su Han relied on his formidable strength and tacit cooperation to repeatedly repel the Yinsha Puppet ambushes and slay the powerful Yao Beasts, advancing step by step toward the depths of the God-Burying Abyss. During the battles, Su Han's Chaos Sword Technique became increasingly proficient, and the "Chaos Devouring Heaven" technique also displayed immense power, with countless Yinsha Puppets and Yao Beasts falling under his sword. Fairy Yuehua's Moonlight Power also grew stronger, her Purification Power becoming more refined; with every strike, she could slay a large number of Yinsha Puppets. The Disciples also continuously improved their strength through battle, accumulating combat experience and becoming ever more powerful.

Unknowingly, the group had already ventured hundreds of miles deep into the God-Burying Abyss. The surrounding mist grew thicker, the Yin Qi heavier, and the Death Qi in the air became increasingly dense. They could even sense a powerful Chaos Power emanating from the deepest part of the God-Burying Abyss—a Chaos Power both mighty and eerie, causing their hearts to palpitate.

"Su Han, do you feel it? That Chaos Power should be what the Ancient Altar is emitting." Fairy Yuehua walked to Su Han's side and spoke softly, her eyes full of solemnity.

Su Han nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Yes, I feel it. That Chaos Power is extremely strong and contains a bizarre energy; it must be coming from the Ancient Altar. It seems we are not far from it now."

Just then, Su Han suddenly sensed a powerful Devilish Qi coming from the mist ahead. Although this Devilish Qi was not as dense as that of the Black Demon Heavenly Venerate, it was still very potent, and it was also mixed with a hint of the eerie aura of the Yinsha Puppets.

"Not good! It's the remnant forces of the Black Demon Hall and Yinsha Puppets!" Su Han shouted, quickly coming to a halt while waving his hand to signal the Disciples to prepare for battle.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mist ahead suddenly churned violently. A group of Cultivators dressed in black and countless Yinsha Puppets charged out from the mist, lunging toward Su Han and the others. Leading them was an old man in a black robe, surrounded by dense Devilish Qi. His aura had reached the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage, slightly stronger than even Hei Fengzi.

"Su Han! We meet again!" The black-robed elder sneered, his eyes filled with resentment. "Last time, you killed Hei Fengzi and repelled our people. Today, I shall avenge Hei Fengzi, take your Chaos Dao Body, and offer it as a sacrifice to the spirits of the Heavenly Venerate and Hei Fengzi in heaven!"

Su Han looked at the black-robed elder, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Who are you? A remnant leader of the Black Demon Hall?"

"I am the Right Protector of the Black Demon Hall, Hei Shazi!" The black-robed elder sneered. "Su Han, did you think that by killing Hei Fengzi, you could completely wipe out the remnants of our Black Demon Hall? Let me tell you, it's impossible! The backup plans left by the Heavenly Venerate are far more powerful than you can imagine! Today, I shall trample all of you, then head to the Ancient Altar to join Elder Yin Yang. With the power of the Ancient Altar, I will rebuild the Black Demon Hall and dominate the Human Realm!"

"Join Elder Yin Yang?" A cold light flashed in Su Han's eyes. "Do you think Elder Yin Yang will sincerely take you in? He is merely using you as pawns. Once he is done with you, he will eliminate you without hesitation."

"Hmph! That is none of your concern!" Hei Shazi sneered, waving his hand and shouting, "Brothers, kill! Slay Su Han and trample them all!"

The black-clothed Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets behind him responded in unison, lunging toward Su Han and his group. These black-clothed Cultivators were the elites of the Black Demon Hall, and their strength was even greater than the remnants encountered before. Many of them had reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and there were even a few at the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage. As for the number of Yinsha Puppets, there were far more than before, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, looking truly terrifying.

"Don't panic, everyone! Unite as one and fight side by side!" Su Han shouted. He swung the chaos sword in his hand, his Chaos Spiritual Power circulating wildly. He instantly unleashed the tenth form of the Chaos Sword Technique, "Chaos Devouring Heaven." A massive wave of chaos sword Qi, containing the power to devour heaven and earth, swept toward the black-clothed Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets, instantly slaying many of them.

Fairy Yuehua also held her long sword and unleashed her Moonlight Power. Streaks of white Moonlight Sword Qi slashed toward the black-clothed Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets, purifying the Devilish Qi and yin fiend qi on them, and slaying a large number of them.

The Disciples of the Qingyun Sect and Zixia Sect also unleashed their Cultivation Techniques, launching attacks against the black-clothed Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets. Purple Sword Qi, white Moonlight Power, the green Qingyun Sword Art, and chaotic Sword Qi—various attacks intertwined to form a massive net of aggression that lunged toward the black-clothed Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets.

Hei Shazi watched his subordinates being killed one after another, a look of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
