Legend of the Great Sage

Su Mirao furrowed her brows gently. This successor of white bone was not that easy of an opponent. Just her clear eyes alone made Su Mirao feel unhappy inside. Her bewitchment was completely useless too. Xiao An was basically her natural nemesis.

Gazing at the incoming sword, she grabbed Xuanyue and used her as a meat shield. Xuanyue said in a daze, “Li’l Whitey?”

The sword did not pause at all, piercing her in a single stroke. Xuanyue’s large eyes immediately dimmed, losing their light.

The sword continued onwards, passing her body and piercing Su Mirao’s upper garment.

Su Mirao furrowed her brows. She never expected Xiao An to be so vicious, basically stabbing Xuanyue like she was a piece of dead wood, without any hesitation at all. Instead, it had cost her the initiative.

Unfortunately, the cat was also a pet that she adored, but the cat probably could not live anymore. Being stabbed by that sword was no joke.

She turned and dodged the sword. The tassels on the hem of her dress and the umbrella in her hand spun as a result.

For a moment, the tassels revolved, and the myriad flowers bloomed, producing many blurs. It was impossible to pinpoint her exact location.

An illusion appeared behind Xiao An, whispering in her ear, “You white bone demon, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you’re immune to my bewitchment?” She shot a glance at the female Daemon Kings.

“Kill her! Protect the palace master!”

The female Daemon Kings all lunged at Xiao An together like a group of crazed fanatics, launching attacks together. There were even the figures of a few great cultivators in the mix.

Xiao An swung her left hand. The Skull Prayer Beads scattered through the air, turning into Skeleton Demons. Under her control, they coordinated together, standing ready for battle and blocking all of the attacks.

She swung the Buddha Slayings word with her right hand and tossed Xuanyue’s “corpse” out through a spatial crack.

Xuanyue’s soft, cold body fell onto the snowy tundra.

Suddenly, she blinked her eyes, and they recovered their previous light. The wound on her chest had closed up. Gazing at the sky full of snow, she said in a daze, “Meow?”

Xiao An stroked the sword with her left hand, removing the layer of golden buddhist light on there.

The Buddha Slaying sword had never directly harmed Xuanyue. Although it was more than enough to kill a mere Daemon Commander, she did have a revival innate ability after all. As long as she maintained her daemon core, she could live.

And from the looks of it, with a drastic increase in her cultivation, breaking through to Daemon Commander, the innate ability had become much more practical too. She revived very soon, and it freed her from the influence of the bewitchment.

Cracks ran across the sky above the snowy tundra. The scales of a dragon and the stripes of a tiger flashed through these cracks as tiger roars and dragon cries swept up the sky full of snow, making the mountains and forests shiver. The force that leaked out scraped off the accumulated snow layer by layer, revealing the dark-yellow earth beneath.

The Daemon Kings were locked in battle against the Skeleton Demons. Dazzling streaks of innate abilities ripped open even more cracks in space. The whistling light either riddled the ground with holes, making it shake constantly, or it shot through the air, piercing the long-hanging clouds and leaving behind thousands of gaps.

Xuanyue shrunk back, instinctively feeling fear. A woman in white clothes appeared beside her gently. She raised her head in surprise. “Gu- Gu…”

“Shh!” Gu Yanying brought her folding fan up to her lips with a smile. Suddenly, her face turned vicious, and a pair of dark-azure wings unfurled behind her. Her right hand curved like a hawk’s talons, reaching towards her.

Xuanyue screamed out and scrambled away, running far away from here.

Gu Yanying smiled before becoming stern again.

Li Qingshan was dripping with blood. Even with what he was most skilled at, close combat, he could not gain any advantage at all. Instead, Si Long’s aura became stronger and stronger, constantly pushing past the limits. Even when he was injured, he only lost scales in the process, without losing any blood. That was not a body of flesh at all.

“That’s… a Yang Soul!”

When they had been in outer space, she had asked Rāhu Xiaoming plenty of questions regarding cultivation, and she had made ample preparations for this battle too. She recognised the true nature of the golden dragon in a single glance.

After undergoing the fourth heavenly tribulation, the Soul Nascence became a Yin Soul, formally embarking on the path to immortality.

From then onwards, they could project their souls out of their bodies, transcending the frail body of human cultivators. Not only would their lifespans lengthen drastically, but it also gave them access to a variety of profound abilities. Scattered, it was like gas; condensed, it took a proper form. They could hide their tracks as they moved about or go into hiding. They could also merge with their surroundings and traverse thousands of kilometres instantly.

Just by breaking through, they developed an endless amount of new capabilities, and their various techniques would grow dramatically in power too. However, they were still vulnerable to the elements, such as lightning and fire, and it was very easy for their Yin Souls to be damaged in battle. They needed to forge a lifebound arcane treasure that the Yin Soul could latch onto when being projected out of the body. Only then could they kill enemies from thousands of kilometres away.

By the time they had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation and condensed a Yang Soul, not only were they mostly impervious to the elements, but they could even gather the aura of nature and refine it in their Yang Souls. As such, their Yang Souls were basically equivalent to an indestructible arcane treasure.

That was why Si Long seemed to be heavily injured when Li Qingshan had punched in his head, but the damage he had sustained was actually negligible. Instead, what Su Mirao said had almost made Si Long suffer cultivation deviation. The damage was greater, which was why he lost the initiative from the beginning, unable to avoid the punch.

The golden dragon was actually the lifebound arcane treasure controlled by his Yang Soul. As a result, no matter how severely damaged it was, not a single droplet of blood could be drawn. Even Xiao An’s Buddha Slaying sword would probably struggle to kill him in a single stroke. An opponent like that was truly difficult to deal with.

He was an existence that had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation after all! If it were possible, Li Qingshan really would like to avoid making an enemy like this. The difference between major realms of cultivation could not be made up for so easily, not to mention the fact that there was a Nine-tailed Fox Empress of unknown strength too.

Su Mirao said, “Li Qingshan, I’m going to count to three. If you still don’t stop, I’ll kill Shen Mengdie. Hmph, you can have a taste of this trick too. One! Two!”

She counted extremely quickly, giving Li Qingshan no time to think at all. She even glanced at Xiao An in disdain. If you’re so capable, why don’t you try and take this hostage from me too?

Xiao An was unable to determine where Su Mirao’s true body was, so she simply stood there. Suddenly, she opened her mouth. “Bitch.”

“What did you say?” Su Mirao’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

“Bitch.” Xiao An repeated herself and even continued, “You shameless vixen, you man-riding whore, apart from tempting men, you don’t know how to do anything else…”

She remained as expressionless as before. Even her voice was devoid of emotions. Her pink lips constantly opened and closed like she was reading from a script. However, if no one stopped her, she could continue to read away for all of eternity without ever repeating herself.

The Skeleton Demons let out cackles as they fought, serving as the most loyal audience.

The female Daemon Kings were all taken aback as if they did not know how to respond. It also seemed like they were in a state of disbelief.

Despite being locked in battle, Li Qingshan and Si Long both noticed the situation here, as the people that they cared about the most in the world were standing there.

Li Qingshan virtually blanked out. He felt like his heart had shattered. He murmured, “My Xiao An…”

“Shut up!” Si Long flew into a fury. If he was not entangled with Li Qingshan, he almost wanted to abandon Li Qingshan and lunge towards Xiao An.

Su Mirao’s chest rose and fell a few times. With her natural charms, she had never even been rebuked before, so how could she stand such insults? She sneered. “Good, very good. I’ll be butchering you for sure today. No one will be able to save you!”

Li Qingshan heard that and flew into a fury. “Bitch! How dare you!”

Su Mirao was taken aback. She was in disbelief. “You’re… cursing me too?”

A smile flashed across Xiao An’s face.
