740: Chapter 740 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (119)

After chasing for about dozens of miles, Su Han finally caught up with the remnants of the Black Demon Hall. He saw twenty to thirty black-clothed Cultivators fleeing frantically through the mist, their auras in disarray and their bodies covered in wounds from previous battles. Leading them were two Cultivators in black robes with sinister expressions, surrounded by dense Devilish Qi. Their auras had reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. They fled while warily observing their surroundings, occasionally looking back for fear of being caught by Su Han.

"Stop. You can't escape anymore." Su Han's voice, like a cold wind, drifted through the mist and instantly enveloped the entire group. Hearing his voice, the black-clothed Cultivators froze in terror, stopping their flight with faces full of dread and despair.

The two Nascent Soul Stage Peak Cultivators slowly turned around and looked at Su Han as he emerged from the mist, their eyes filled with wariness and malice. One tall Cultivator sneered and said, "Su Han, you actually followed us! It seems you are truly determined to wipe us all out!"

"The Black Demon Hall has committed many evils, harming the innocent and slaughtering Cultivators; it deserves to be exterminated." Su Han held the chaos sword and walked toward them step by step, his eyes devoid of any pity. "Today, not one of you will escape. You will all pay the price for your actions!"

"Hmph! Arrogant!" The other thin Cultivator snorted coldly, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Su Han, you are just a Cultivator who recently made a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage. Do you really think you're invincible? The two of us are at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage; together, we might just be a match for you! Moreover, this is the God-Burying Abyss, where Yin Qi is thick and Devilish Qi is prevalent. It will somewhat suppress your Chaos Dao Body. Today, even if we have to give our all, we will take you down with us!"

Having said that, the thin Cultivator waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, fight him! We're dead anyway, so we might as well give it our all. Perhaps there's still a slim chance of survival!"

Hearing this, the black-clothed Cultivators' eyes flashed with madness. They knew they were cornered. Rather than being cut down by Su Han, they would rather go all out for a chance to live. Thus, they channeled their remaining Devilish Qi, gripped their weapons, and lunged at Su Han. Despite their unstable auras and severe injuries, they exploded with startling power, their eyes filled with frenzied killing intent.

"Courting death." Su Han sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. The Chaos Spiritual Power within him surged as he swung the chaos sword, instantly performing the third form of the Chaos Sword Technique, "Chaos Circulation." A massive wave of chaos sword Qi swept toward the black-clothed Cultivators like flowing water. Everywhere the Sword Qi passed, the air was torn apart with a piercing roar. The lunging Cultivators could not withstand the power of the chaos sword Qi; they were struck one after another, their bodies instantly torn apart and reduced to wisps of Devilish Qi that dissipated into the air. With just one strike, over a dozen black-clothed Cultivators were killed. The remaining dozen were knocked back several steps by the shockwave, coughing up blood as their injuries worsened.

The two Nascent Soul Stage Peak Cultivators were horrified by the scene. They hadn't expected Su Han to be so powerful, killing half their men with a single blow. However, they did not retreat; instead, the ruthlessness in their eyes intensified. "Attack together! Kill him!" the tall Cultivator roared. He moved like a bolt of black lightning toward Su Han, condensing a black long saber in his hand. The blade radiated thick Devilish Qi and a bone-chilling cold, aiming straight for Su Han's head. This long saber was his life-bound weapon, containing his lifelong Devilish Qi and possessing immense power.

Simultaneously, the thin Cultivator flickered to Su Han's side, holding a black short dagger. The dagger was coated in lethal poison and emitted an eerie black mist, aimed directly at Su Han's waist. He specialized in sneak attacks; the dagger was incredibly fast and venomous. If it even grazed the skin, the toxin would instantly invade the body, corroding the Meridians and spiritual power. Even a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator would find it difficult to resist.

A hint of vigilance flashed in Su Han's eyes, but he remained calm in the face of the pincer attack. He tilted his body slightly, easily dodging the tall Cultivator's long saber, while swinging his chaos sword to parry the thin Cultivator's short dagger. A crisp metallic ring echoed as sparks flew. The Chaos Power on the chaos sword instantly surged into the short dagger, purifying all the poison and Devilish Qi upon it. The thin Cultivator felt his arm go numb, and the dagger nearly flew from his hand. His eyes wide with shock, he hastily retreated several steps to put distance between them.

Seeing Su Han dodge his attack and repel the thin Cultivator, the tall Cultivator grew incensed. He swung his long saber again, the blade whistling through the air as waves of black Saber Qi rained down on Su Han like a storm. Each wave of Saber Qi contained powerful Devilish Qi and immense force. These waves intertwined to form a massive saber net, trapping Su Han within and leaving him no room to dodge.

"Chaos Sword Technique, Fourth Form—Chaos Returning to One!" Su Han shouted. He raised the chaos sword high as the Chaos Spiritual Power within him surged wildly. The sword erupted with brilliant light, all the Chaos Spiritual Power condensing onto the blade to form a massive phantom of the chaos sword. Su Han swung it down violently. The massive phantom slashed into the black saber net, instantly tearing it apart. The black Saber Qi dissipated under the impact of the chaos sword phantom.

"Impossible!" The tall Cultivator's eyes were filled with disbelief. He hadn't expected his full-strength saber net to be torn apart so easily. Before he could react, Su Han appeared before him, the chaos sword pointed at his chest. It was as fast as lightning, leaving him no chance to dodge.

"Watch out!" Seeing this, the thin Cultivator's expression changed drastically. He rushed toward Su Han, thrusting his short dagger at Su Han's back again, hoping to force him to retreat and save the tall Cultivator.

A cold light flashed in Su Han's eyes as he completely ignored the attack from behind. He knew the thin Cultivator was already heavily injured and weaker than himself; even if the strike landed, it wouldn't cause significant harm. The tall Cultivator was the primary threat, and he had to be killed first to completely eliminate this remnant force. (End of Chapter)
