Chapter 240 Murderous Intent, Battle of Wits
Looking down at the two people below, who were calm, fearless, and even slightly mocking, Xuanjizi's anger finally reached its breaking point.
The last vestige of probing intent vanished completely, leaving only a pure, extreme, and relentless killing intent.
He had lived for nearly a hundred years, cultivated evil ways for half his life, and had the lives of many living beings on his hands. His dignity was etched into his bones. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Great! Excellent!"
Xuanjizi, enraged, laughed coldly and menacingly, sending chills down one's spine. "Two insignificant ants dare to spread rumors and swagger before me? Since you are so ignorant of your place, today I will grind you to dust, scatter your souls, and refine your spirits, so that you may never be reincarnated!"
Before he finished speaking, a monstrous burst of Yin energy erupted from his body, and the Yin wind in the entire Dry Corpse Valley instantly became extremely violent. A great battle was about to break out!
Xuanjizi gave the two no chance to catch their breath. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed all the Yin energy in his body, his throat bulged slightly, his cheeks turned black, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out!
"call out--!"
A small, jet-black sword, about an inch long, shot out from his mouth. The sword was completely black, without any luster, and was wrapped with pure Yin energy. It was extremely fast, cutting through the air silently, and was hidden in the swirling Yin wind, making it impossible to track with the naked eye.
This is the Yin Soul Sword, forged from his own century of Yin energy, essence, blood, and soul. It is indestructible, specifically designed to destroy the physical body, spiritual power, and soul. It kills without drawing blood and is extremely stealthy. Countless righteous cultivators have perished under this sword.
The sword light arrived in an instant, aimed directly at Lin Yuan's vital point between his eyebrows, its killing intent chilling, leaving no room for evasion!
"Watch out!" An Xin's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out and precisely intercepted the trajectory of the Yin Soul Sword.
boom!
The bullet struck the pitch-black Yin Soul Sword, instantly exploding into a blinding halo of yin and yang opposing light.
However, this Yin Soul Sword was too condensed. It was only stopped by the bullet by half a point before the bullet's force was shattered. It continued to stab forward with a chilling killing intent, its power undiminished!
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm and composed. He instantly raised his right hand, and lightning surged in his palm. Golden divine lightning exploded and condensed into a thick barrier of lightning energy in front of him.
Sizzle—!
The Yin Soul Sword slammed into the lightning barrier, causing lightning to flash and explode violently, with countless electric threads frantically coiling and corroding the dark sword body.
The Supreme Yang Divine Thunder is the nemesis of all evil and yin, and it is especially effective against evil magical artifacts made of yin energy.
Under the continuous scorching of the divine lightning, the Yin energy on the black sword body rapidly dissolved, and the sword body trembled violently, emitting a piercing wail.
In just a moment, the small, malevolent sword that had killed countless people was completely refined by the lightning, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating in the wind, utterly annihilated.
When his first move was broken, Xuanjizi was not alarmed at all; instead, his killing intent intensified, and his face grew even colder.
"You've got some skills; no wonder you were able to kill my disciple."
He snorted coldly, and with a swift flick of his left hand, a pitch-black talisman appeared out of thin air in his palm. The talisman was covered with twisted and intertwined blood-red patterns, exuding a dense aura of malevolence. As soon as it appeared, it caused a surge of yin winds and ghostly energy to rise from the surrounding area.
This is a demon-summoning talisman, made from the essence and blood of a hundred demons. Once activated, it can summon dozens of bloodthirsty demons, extremely ferocious and fearless, who will specifically attack and tear apart the enemy's flesh and soul.
"go!"
With a flick of his finger, Xuanjizi caused the talisman to ignite instantly, and black ghost flames soared into the air and exploded!
Boom boom boom—!
Dozens of ferocious demons rushed out from the will-o'-the-wisps, their faces blue, their fangs gleaming, their claws black, their bodies swaying erratically. They spewed out pitch-black ghostly energy, swarming towards Lin Yuan and An Xin, instantly sealing off all their escape routes. They were so densely packed that they blotted out the sky.
"I'll control the large number of ghosts, you focus on eliminating the core ones!" Lin Yuan shouted in a deep voice.
"Understood!" Anxin instantly adjusted his position, took a half step back, and moved the sniper rifle muzzle quickly to lock onto the strongest demons in the horde.
Lin Yuan formed a hand seal, and the crimson-gold flames in his palms suddenly surged, rising into the air and transforming into a huge wall of fire that exploded outwards.
The power of flames swept in all directions, and the raging fire was like the sun falling to earth, the intense heat instantly burning away the surrounding cold and ghostly aura.
Evil spirits fear the most intense yang fire. The group of evil spirits at the forefront were instantly engulfed by the flames, letting out shrill and piercing howls. Their bodies rapidly carbonized and disintegrated, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.
However, the number of evil spirits was simply too great. They charged forward relentlessly, fearless of death, and many still managed to break through the gaps in the fire wall and attack them at close range.
Just then, a series of gunshots rang out!
boom! boom! boom!
Three bullets of the Breath of Destruction pierced the air in quick succession, each one hitting the core of a demon's skull with deadly precision.
The demon's power was concentrated in its core; when the core shattered, its body instantly disintegrated.
In the blink of an eye, the three strongest demons perished on the spot, and the remaining demon horde was instantly leaderless, their offensive became chaotic, and their ferocious aura greatly diminished.
Lin Yuan seized the opportunity and unleashed a full-force burst of flames, spreading out a sea of fire that instantly engulfed and burned all the remaining evil spirits to ashes.
The ghostly aura that filled the sky was swept away, and the valley became clear again. The second attack was completely neutralized.
In mid-air, Xuanjizi's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes almost materialized.
"You're quite cooperative; I underestimated you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and took down an old-fashioned black cloth bag from his waist. The bag was covered with Gu insect runes, and the seal was shrouded in Yin energy, imprisoning countless evil spirits.
"Since the ghosts can't do anything to you, then let's try my Yin-Devouring Gu!"
He made a hand seal with his fingertips and gently tapped the cloth bag.
Sizzle—!
The bag burst open instantly, and countless tiny, pitch-black worms gushed out, densely packed like a dark cloud passing by.
Each Gu worm is only the size of a grain of rice, its entire body is jet black and gleaming, it has tiny fangs and thin wings, and it flies at an extremely fast speed, emitting a fine, piercing buzzing sound in the air.
These are the malevolent Yin-devouring Gu that Xuanjizi has painstakingly cultivated over decades. They devour the life force, spiritual power, and Yin energy of living beings. They live in groups and are extremely poisonous. Once they come into contact with someone, they will instantly burrow into the flesh, gnaw on the essence and blood, and corrode the meridians. If an ordinary cultivator is entangled with them, they will instantly lose their essence and blood and explode to death.
The countless Gu worms blotted out the sky, like a black tide, and rolled towards the two people at the bottom of the valley. They were so dense that it made one's scalp tingle, and they almost sealed off all the space in the entire valley, leaving no way to escape!
