739: Chapter 739 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (118)

With a movement of his body, he transformed into a streak of black lightning and charged toward Su Han. In his hand, he condensed a Black Devil Whip that emanated a dense Devilish Qi, carrying a bone-chilling cold as it aimed directly at Su Han's chest. This devil whip was also one of the supreme treasures of the Black Demon Hall, named the "Black Devil Whip." It contained powerful Devilish Qi and possessed infinite power, capable of entangling a Cultivator's body to suck away their spiritual power and essence blood.

"Su Han, prepare to die!" Hei Shazi let out a loud shout, and the Black Devil Whip in his hand lashed out violently toward Su Han.

A flash of vigilance crossed Su Han's eyes. He quickly dodged backward while simultaneously swinging the chaos sword in his hand to strike at the Black Devil Whip.

Clang!

The chaos sword and the Black Devil Whip collided, producing a crisp metallic clatter as sparks flew in all directions. Powerful energy erupted from both the sword and the whip. Su Han and Hei Shazi were pushed back several steps simultaneously, a trace of gravity appearing in both their eyes.

"I didn't expect that you, having only recently broken through to the Soul Transformation Stage, would possess such formidable power!" Hei Shazi sneered. "However, that is not enough! Today, this seat will certainly take your life!"

After speaking, the Devilish Qi within Hei Shazi's body surged frantically. The black mist surrounding him grew denser and denser, and the Black Devil Whip in his hand emitted an even more intense Devilish Qi. Strange runes even began to appear on the whip, radiating a heart-palpitating aura. He raised the Black Devil Whip high, chanting under his breath. The runes on the whip instantly lit up, and a powerful surge of Devilish Qi erupted from it, sweeping toward Su Han.

"Black Devil Whip Art — Heart-Devouring Devil Whip!"

Hei Shazi roared, and the Black Devil Whip in his hand lashed out violently toward Su Han. The powerful Devilish Qi transformed into a black lash aimed at Su Han's heart, intending to pierce through it in one blow and suck away his spiritual power and essence blood.

A flash of determination crossed Su Han's eyes. He took a deep breath, circulating all the Chaos Spiritual Power in his body while integrating his Dao Heart power and Green Lotus Power into it. The green lotus jade pendant in his palm also emitted dense Green Lotus Power, intertwining with the Chaos Spiritual Power. He raised the chaos sword high and shouted, "Ninth Form of the Chaos Sword Technique — Eternal Dao Heart!"

Following Su Han's shout, a dazzling light erupted from the chaos sword. A massive bolt of chaos sword Qi, containing Su Han's Dao Heart and all his power, bolstered by the Green Lotus Power, slashed toward the Black Devil Whip.

Bang!

The chaos sword Qi collided with the Black Devil Whip, producing a world-shaking boom. A powerful shockwave rippled out, dispersing the surrounding mist and shattering the mountain rocks. Many black-clad Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets were torn to pieces by the impact.

Hei Shazi's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief. "Impossible! How can you possess such immense power?! My Heart-Devouring Devil Whip was actually blocked by you?!"

He wanted to retract the Black Devil Whip, but it was already too late. The power of the chaos sword Qi continuously eroded the Devilish Qi on the whip while sweeping toward Hei Shazi. Hei Shazi felt a powerful force surge into his body, frantically destroying his Meridians and devil core while purifying the Devilish Qi within him. He let out a shrill scream, spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and involuntarily staggered back several steps. The Devilish Qi on his body dissipated rapidly, and his aura plummeted.

Su Han gave Hei Shazi no opportunity. In a flash, he appeared before Hei Shazi and swung the chaos sword, piercing directly through his chest. Chaos Spiritual Power and Green Lotus Power surged into Hei Shazi's body simultaneously, completely destroying his Meridians and devil core. Hei Shazi's body stiffened, the light in his eyes gradually fading. Then, he collapsed to the ground, his breath completely gone. The Black Devil Whip also fell to the ground, losing its former luster.

With Hei Shazi dead, the remaining Cultivators of the Black Demon Hall and the Yinsha Puppets were suddenly leaderless, falling into even greater Chaos. They had already been retreating steadily under the assault of Su Han and the others; now that their leader was killed, they lost all will to fight. One by one, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, they turned and fled.

"Don't even think about escaping!" A cold light surged in Su Han's eyes. Like a streak of green lightning, he instantly gave chase. The chaos sword danced in his hand, leaving no openings. Every time the sword fell, it was accompanied by a sharp bolt of chaos sword Qi that accurately pierced the backs of the fleeing Cultivators, slaying them on the spot. Those Yinsha Puppets attempting to flee were directly torn apart by the chaos sword Qi, turning into wisps of cold mist that dissipated into the air.

Fairy Yuehua followed closely behind, her white longsword flowing like moonlight. Every strike carried a powerful purification force. Any black-clad Cultivators heavily corrupted by Devilish Qi or moving too slowly would instantly stiffen upon contact with the Moonlight Sword Qi, their Devilish Qi dissipating rapidly until they collapsed lifelessly. The Zixia Sect Disciples formed a sword formation, their purple Sword Qi weaving into a net that trapped the fleeing Cultivators and Yinsha Puppets, leaving them no chance to escape. The Qingyun Sect Disciples took the opportunity to step forward and harvest the remaining enemies. Screams, the clashing of weapons, and the whistling of Sword Qi intertwined, echoing throughout the God-Burying Abyss.

"Senior Brother Su Han, a remnant force of about twenty to thirty people is fleeing toward the depths of the clouds to the east! Among them are two Cultivators at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage!" a Qingyun Sect Disciple shouted loudly, his voice tinged with urgency. He had just slain a black-clad Cultivator; his body was stained with blood and his breathing was somewhat ragged, but his gaze remained firm as he stared toward the depths of the clouds.

Hearing this, Su Han's eyes narrowed as he looked toward the clouds to the east. Sure enough, he sensed a faint but dense Devilish Qi rapidly fleeing toward the depths of the God-Burying Abyss. "Junior Martial Aunt Yuehua, lead a portion of the Disciples to continue purging the remnant forces here. Make sure to pull them up by the roots; do not leave any hidden dangers," Su Han said solemnly in an unquestionable tone. "I will pursue that fleeing force to prevent them from joining Elder Yin Yang or revealing our movements."

"No, Su Han, it's too dangerous!" Fairy Yuehua quickly tried to dissuade him, her eyes full of worry. "The depths of the God-Burying Abyss are even more treacherous, and that force includes Peak Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. If you go alone and fall into an ambush, the consequences would be unthinkable. I'll go with you!"

"Junior Martial Aunt, the remnant forces here also need someone to oversee them, and the Disciples need your protection." Su Han smiled, his tone firm. "Don't worry, I possess the Chaos Dao Body, and with the addition of the Chaos Sword Technique and the green lotus jade pendant, dealing with two Peak Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators is more than enough. Besides, I am only pursuing them. Once I succeed, I will immediately return to regroup with you all; I won't take risks by going too deep."

After speaking, Su Han did not wait for Fairy Yuehua to argue further. With a flash of his body, he charged toward the depths of the clouds to the east. He circulated his Chaos Spiritual Power, the Chaos mist around him growing denser to hide his presence, while releasing a faint wisp of Chaos Power to track the trail of Devilish Qi. The clouds of the God-Burying Abyss grew thicker, and the Yin Qi became heavier. The surrounding Death Qi had almost condensed into substance; a single breath of it brought a bone-chilling cold that made one's Meridians ache slightly. But Su Han didn't care at all. His Chaos Dao Body operated automatically, converting the inhaled Death Qi and Yin Qi into pure Chaos Spiritual Power to nourish his body. (End of Chapter)
