114: The destruction of Xuanshan Market

"Dead!"

"Yun Lei Sanren is dead!"

Everyone exclaimed in horror.

They all used their Escape Techniques and scattered, fleeing in all directions.

'The Formation has been broken... Suspended Mountain Guest, as a Profound Cave mighty figure, hasn't appeared... he's probably in trouble too... This place is dangerous, I need to leave as soon as possible.'

The Yuan Ci Avatar made hand Seals, and his body gradually became transparent, disappearing from his original spot.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the Void Realm, and a figure emerged outside the auction pavilion.

The Yuan Ci Avatar frowned slightly, looking up at the horizon.

He saw the entire marketplace shrouded in dark Demonic Flames, burning the Void Realm.

A circle of True Dan Cultivators had already gathered at the edge, some casting Daoist spells, others activating Magic Treasures, attempting to break the Seal.

But the Daoist spells that fell into the Demonic Flames were like mud oxen entering the sea, merely creating a ripple before vanishing into nothingness.

The Magic Treasures fared even worse, letting out mournful cries.

When they returned to their owners' hands, their surfaces were pitted and their spiritual light dim.

These Demonic Flames actually had the effect of defiling Magic Treasures.

'It seems the Demon Hunting Society plans to catch them all in one net...'

The Yuan Ci Avatar's expression was solemn.

The entire marketplace was plunged into chaos, with cries, pleas for mercy, and wails... accompanied by towering black flames, fighting was everywhere.

The Demon Hunting Society, having planned ahead, held the numerical advantage and firmly had the upper hand.

'First, I need to quietly hide and get through this wave of chaos, then secretly wait for an opportunity...'

Even he had no way to break the Demonic Flame sealing Formation.

However, there were many True Dan Cultivators present, and it was possible someone had a brilliant method.

At most, it would be contained for a short while, then the Formation would be broken by their combined efforts.

Wreaths of verdant energy permeated, and the Forest Sea Shading Sun Divine Ability, sealed in his mind, was activated.

His aura was suppressed to the extreme, gradually merging with a broken piece of wood.

The Demon Hunting Society Cultivators fighting in the air, upon investigation, indeed thought there was no one there and scattered.

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the Void Realm.

"Ah!"

A headless corpse fell through the Void Realm like a broken sack.

From its attire, it was clearly a Cultivator of the Tiansheng Sect.

"Old Man Gu..."

The Yuan Ci Avatar's eyes narrowed.

He sighed inwardly.

He had long guessed that Old Man Gu's fate would not be good.

At this moment, possessing a heavy treasure had instead made him a target.

How could the tianyi holy water be so easily obtained?

In the Void Realm, Old Demon Bone-Erosion held a silk Storage Pouch, and as black Qi poured into it, he indeed found the tianyi holy water, immediately bursting into maniacal laughter.

Suddenly.

Bang—

A stream of light in the shape of a Water Dragon struck the Demonic Flame Grand Formation, like a cannonball hitting a mountain, producing a huge roar.

As the Water Dragon evaporated, a huge gap appeared in the Demonic Flame Grand Formation, revealing the outside world.

Countless Cultivators scrambled, vying with each other, flying out.

"Damn it! It's a Water Dragon Breaking Restriction Talisman..."

Old Demon Bone-Erosion roared in anger.

Beside the withered wood, a hint of surprise appeared in the Yuan Ci Avatar's eyes.

'Water Dragon Breaking Restriction technique... I didn't expect someone to carry a talisman sealing this technique...'

The Water Dragon Breaking Restriction technique was a water-element branch of the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light.

It specialized in breaking fire-attribute Grand Formations.

Although these Demonic Flames were powerful, and could even defile Magic Treasures, they were still not enough.

With a gap in the Grand Formation, its operation was no longer seamless, and under the combined assault of the True Dan Cultivators, it tottered, developing large and small holes.

The Yuan Ci Avatar looked at a hole several hundred feet away, seized the opportunity, and broke through the Formation with his black cloud miasma.

Looking back, Demonic Flames splattered, igniting spiritual wood, countless buildings collapsed, and the entire Suspended Mountain Marketplace was engulfed in a sea of fire.

"The Suspended Mountain Marketplace, which has existed for hundreds of years... is ruined..."

"Good thing... I got everything I wanted..."

The Yuan Ci Avatar opened his palm, and a small bronze cauldron floated above it.

"Once the Insect King is nurtured, in at most a century, enough top-grade insect crystals can be condensed.

At that time, I can try to refine an earth-attribute Nine Revolutions Golden Pill..."

Suddenly, the Yuan Ci Avatar looked up, only to see a red escape light flying in the distance on the horizon, followed closely by dark cloud miasma.

'Damn it, Old Demon Bone-Erosion is actually targeting me... No, I need to find a way.'

The Red-Clothed Rakshasi frowned, and her eyes suddenly lit up, as she actually changed course and headed towards the Yuan Ci Avatar.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait, Old Demon Bone-Erosion is fierce, please lend a hand, Fellow Daoist.

Let us join forces to slay this demon.

As for the spoils of war, I will not take a single cent, I only wish to repay Fellow Daoist intimately..."

Her voice was pleasant, coupled with her alluring gaze.

She had actually used a charm technique.

However, the next moment, the Rakshasi's pupils constricted.

A silver brick flew through the Void Realm, constantly enlarging before her eyes.

In a hurry, she quickly cast a pink cloud curtain to block it.

Bang—

The pink cloud curtain exploded, but the silver brick still had residual force, striking towards the Rakshasi's head.

"If Fellow Daoist won't save me, then so be it, why resort to such a vicious hand!"

The Rakshasi's face was ashen.

Her figure shifted, narrowly avoiding the brick.

Suddenly, an unusual sound came from behind her.

Screech—

A bronze alchemical cauldron spun, and the secret patterns on the cauldron, as black Qi poured in, connected to form a fiery red Vermilion Bird, flying out of the cauldron and spewing out raging flames from its mouth.

The flames were blue-green, and their temperature was extremely hot, subtly distorting the Void Realm.

It was the Southern Blazing Fire!

"Damn it!"

The Rakshasi cursed, flicking her pink sleeve to block in front of her, producing crackling sounds.

Just as she thought she had blocked it, a claw suddenly reached out from her side.

The tip of the claw gleamed with a faint light, sweeping across her snow-white neck like a sharp sword.

Pfft—

Blood splattered, and her head was separated from her body.

The Yuan Ci Avatar took off the pink sleeve, activated the Vermilion Bird to spew flames and burn the remains, instantly incinerating the Rakshasi completely.

However, there was no joy on his face; his expression was solemn as he looked towards the horizon.

"Fellow Daoist Bone-Erosion, how long do you plan to hide?"

As soon as his voice fell, the Void Realm twisted, revealing a disheveled, black-robed True Dan Cultivator.

Old Demon Bone-Erosion bared his yellow teeth and said, "Your Excellency's methods are impressive, to kill such a delicate beauty like that.

Truly decisive and ruthless, just like our Demonic Path style.

Why don't Your Excellency join our Demon Hunting Society and live freely? How about it?"

"Not at all!"

The Yuan Ci Avatar suddenly struck, smashing a dark skull that had reached out from his side.

It turned out that Old Demon Bone-Erosion was ostensibly trying to recruit him, but was secretly releasing evil spirits to ambush him.

Black Qi poured into the black cloud miasma, shooting into the distance.

"Hehehe, this place has long been surrounded by our Demon Hunting Society... Don't even think about escaping!"

Old Demon Bone-Erosion followed closely behind.

The Yuan Ci Avatar, however, sneered inwardly.

He intentionally maintained the distance between them.

Before long, they had traveled over a hundred miles away from the Suspended Mountain Marketplace.

"Your Excellency, you are truly persistent, chasing relentlessly..."

The Yuan Ci Avatar paused in the Void Realm, his face stern.

Old Demon Bone-Erosion frowned slightly, only then noticing that they had already left the Suspended Mountain Marketplace.

There were no other Demon Hunting Society Cultivators around him.

"Trying to scare this venerable one? Die!"

Old Demon Bone-Erosion shook his soul banner, and eerie mist surged, with vengeful spirits crawling out from it.

Among them, there were indeed three True Core Realm Ghost Cultivators.

The strongest Refined Corpse even had a Middle Stage True Core cultivation.

They attacked overwhelmingly, like ten thousand ghosts leaving their nest.

The Yuan Ci Avatar's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said, "Next, I'll leave it to you..."

The bird on his shoulder flapped its wings and soared, its body suddenly swelling to several hundred feet, transforming into a peerless fierce Kunpeng.

Bang—

With one claw strike, a True Core Refined Corpse's body exploded.

"This... What kind of demon beast is this!"

Old Demon Bone-Erosion's eyes were bloodshot.

As a True Core Realm Cultivator, it actually killed a Middle Stage True Core Refined Corpse with a single claw.

"Die..."

The Kunpeng spoke human words, and its golden eyes exuded icy killing intent.

Its giant mouth opened, creating an infinite suction like a black hole.

The vengeful spirits disintegrated one by one, dispersing into black mist, swallowed by the dark, cavernous maw.

"Damn it!"

Old Demon Bone-Erosion let out a shrill scream, resisting with difficulty.

Three breaths later, the entire Void Realm seemed to have been erased.

Clouds, mountains, trees... completely vanished.

Naturally, this included Old Demon Bone-Erosion.

"Let's go, it's not good to stay here for long..."

The Kunpeng burped, transforming into a streak of golden light that flew to the Yuan Ci Avatar's shoulder, then left towards the horizon.
