Chapter 584.

The first cooperation between the Buddhist Sect and the young experts of Subterranean Dragon City had returned in defeat, greatly dampening their confidence and fighting spirit.

Ji Xuan frowned.

On the contrary, as a bystander, and experienced in the jungle, Old Taoist Banana Leaf immediately judged the form and transmitted his voice:

“Don’t panic.

“Young Lord, Xu Qi’an is a Third Grade after all, and his fleshly body is far more powerful than yours.

“But just because the physical body is powerful doesn’t mean the battle power is equally powerful. The reason why he was able to easily cut off the white tiger’s right claw relied on a supreme divine weapon.

“Just need to find a way to get rid of that blade, Xu Qi’an is only a fourth ranked martial artist with a third rank defense.

“With our battle power, it’s enough to entangle him.”

Now that Old Taoist Banana Leaf no longer dared to boast about defeating Xu Qi’an, he believed that Ji Xuan and the others’ mentality had changed as well.

Solve that knife …….. Ji Xuan frowned, thoughts flashing in his mind, quickly summarizing the information, quickly going over his side’s strengths, specialties, and battle strengths.

His eyes snapped open and he whispered:

“Beggar Happiness Dan Xiang, I remember that the Heart Compass can control some creatures with little intelligence, does this include the first-intelligent artifact spirits?”

Those present were all smart people, immediately turning their heads to look at Beggar’s Delight Danxiang.

“Theoretically, as long as something has divine intelligence, it can be manipulated and influenced. But I haven’t tried to influence a Jedi Divine Warrior.”

Beggar Dan Xiang slowly said.

“That’s enough!”

The martial arts monk Pure Edge whispered:

“It may not be necessary to beat him, stall for time and hold out until the Deity Rohan or the two Vajra resolve their opponents, then we win.

“If they delay in dividing them, we can also slowly grind Xu Qi’an to death.”

After conferring privately by voice, the crowd regained their confidence, or at least saw the hope of victory.

When there is hope, there is fight.

Xu Qi’an watched silently as they passed on their voices to discuss the matter without any urgency.

His gaze skimmed over Ji Xuan and the others to look at his younger siblings in the distance.

It was quite well behaved and didn t come back to get in the way …… He commented in his mind.

Robbing Xu Yuanfang and Xu Yuanhuai and using them to blackmail Xu Pingfeng might be an unexpected surprise?

No, Xu Pingfeng was no longer a human being in order to be promoted to the first rank, and since he could use one of his sons as a tool and a pawn, he could naturally use his other son and daughter as pawns as well.

The difference between me and Xu Yuanhuai and the others is that I was born early, not that Xu Pingfeng favors them more.

If the second son and eldest daughter prevented him from being promoted to the first rank, he should give them up or not.

I’ve been double-cultivating with the State Master for so long that my chi has skyrocketed, so it’s a good time to practice with them.

Xu Qi’an withdrew his gaze and saw Pure Heart leading the Zen masters to sit in meditation and formations.

This is to counter my lion’s roar with zen kung fu ………

Sure enough, after forming the formation, Pureheart looked at him with a deep gaze and said in a deep voice:

“Put down the butcher’s knife!”

The power of the precepts was amplified by the formation, and in this moment, Xu Qi’an was more than just calm, unable to entertain the thought of fighting, and even wanted to discard his Taiping Blade.

Similarly, he also sensed the meaning of the Taiping Blade from the intention it conveyed: ah, master, I don’t want to fight anymore!

Thump ……..

Pure Edge was the first to take the lead, and this time he didn’t use his arrogant head hammer to harden Xu Qi’an, but instead chopped his hand and snatched the Taiping Sword from his hand.

It was an easy success.

Neither Xu Qi’an nor Taiping Blade made much resistance.

After getting his hands on it, Pure Edge didn’t even think about it, turned back, and threw the Pacific Sword.

Beggar Danxiang stepped forward, probing his hand and grabbing the hilt of the sword, as this absolute divine weapon entered his hand, he immediately exerted his mind compulsion tactics, attempting to control it and turn it into his side’s weapon.

However, the control was unsuccessful, and the Jedi Divine Warrior chirped and trembled violently, nearly dislodging itself several times.

Beggar’s Happiness Danxiang changed its strategy, using the “communication” of warmth to influence the World Warrior, instilling in it the idea of “stopping the war”.

Pacific Blade resisted for a few moments, thinking there was nothing wrong with it, so he stopped struggling, looking not too smart.

Success!

Ji Xuan and the others were overjoyed.

Without the Taiping Sword, Xu Qi’an was nothing more than a turtle with thick skin, and his threat level dropped off a cliff.

At this time, Xu Qi’an broke free from his preceptor state, ignoring the martial monk Pure Edge who was close by, his body covered with a layer of shadows and merged into Pure Edge’s shadow.

He uses the shadow of Net Edge as a springboard to appear in the shadow of Willow Cottonwood.

Bang!

Liu Hongcotton’s skirt swung, and her embroidered shoes stomped out deep puddles on the ground.

But Xu Qi’an rushed to the bottom of Ji Xuan’s feet before she could strike her foot with another shadow jump.

He kept jumping in the shadows of a few people before burrowing out of the shadow of Beggar’s Happiness Dan Xiang.

His goal was clear, to recapture the Taiping Sword.

Pureheart’s eyebrows jumped as he spoke in a deep voice:

“No killing!”

Xu Qi’an, who was about to strike, abruptly froze.

Seizing this opportunity, Pure Edge turned back to the rescue, his body’s golden light making him look like a golden lightning bolt.

When!

Pure Edge jolts Xuqian with a volley of punches to the face.

The precepts only affect me for a few seconds, and a precept takes at least five seconds to recast ………. Xu Qi’an laughed harshly and returned the favor, slamming a head hammer into Pure Edge’s forehead.

Bang!

Pure Edge’s forehead splattered with gold paint, and his protective golden light instantly dimmed as he flew out backwards like a cannonball.

“Stand back!”

Ji Xuan pushed away Beggar’s Delight Danxiang and took the initiative to meet him, the Moon Shadow Sword erupting with piercing light, this time aiming for the center of the brow.

“Roar …….”

Xu Qi’an’s throat exploded with a deep and majestic lion’s roar, shocking Ji Xuan’s eyes black, and immediately after, he heard “dang dang dang” sounds coming from his own chest, dense as if it was beating iron.

In the next second, intense pain came, and the entirety of his chest sunk in.

Liu Hongmong quickly swept in, catching Ji Xuan who was flying backwards and bringing him back.

The beauty from the House of Ten Thousand Flowers blushed slightly.

Ji Xuan, who was in the fourth grade realm, had lost so quickly, was it really like what Xu Qi’an had said, that the party was just warming up?

“Young Lord!”

Beggar Danxiang bellowed, his face grimacing, seemingly furious and ashamed to the extreme, one hand gripped the sword, the other hand directly crushed the brocade pouch at his waist.

“Boo!”

A green cloud exploded, and there came a buzzing sound of wings, gathering and dispersing.

Liu Hongmu, White Tiger, and the others’ faces changed slightly, and they quickly retreated.

This was an extremely terrifying poison, and according to Beggar Danxiang herself, they were called Bone Eroding Insects, growing in the Extreme Abyss where the Compassion God was sealed, feeding on the power that the Compassion God spilled out.

They were covered in poison, and their mouthparts could spit out toxins that corroded the body of a fourth grade martial artist, from skin to flesh, from flesh to bone, and a large enough scale swarm of Bone Eroding Insects would only take three breaths to kill a fourth grade martial artist.

This is Beggar Happiness Dan Xiang’s underhanded tactic, which is not normally used, because once these bone-etching insects have eaten human blood, even he will find it difficult to control them again.

The heart compounder with a radical personality snapped:

“Surname Xu, I don’t care what kind of genius you are, today, at the risk of being revolted by the Bone Eroding Insect, I will make you pay the price.”

In the distance, Xu Yuanfang dragged her brother back decisively, she clearly knew the terrifying nature of this poisonous insect.

Green clouds flew in the sky, and under the manipulation of Beggar’s Happiness Dan Xiang, they quickly enveloped Xu Qi’an, covering his body and cheeks tightly.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuanhuai suddenly felt her sister stop and looked sideways, her face incomparably complicated as she stared blankly at the green humanoid in the distance.

This time, it is enough to make him pay a huge price ……… Xu Yuanhuai thought with a complicated mood.

His eyes suddenly widened with incredulity.

Also have a similar expression Xu Yuanfang, banana leaf old Taoist, Liu Hongmu, etc., in the eyes of the crowd, those who should be bloodthirsty as life’s poisonous insects, suddenly a large area of “melt”.

Transforming into pure, green liquids, these liquids did not drip downwards, but instead seeped through Xu Qi’an’s pores and merged into his body.

Thus, the golden light on Xu Qi’an’s body surface was mixed into the green light.

It lasted for a few seconds before the green light slowly dissipated and completely dissolved into nothingness.

“Hiccup~”

Xu Qi’an burped and laughed:

“Thanks for the hospitality.”

This …….. Beggar Danxiang s pupils suddenly contracted, his face spiraled pale, and he roared nervously:

“This can’t be, this can’t be!”

“This is Xu Yinluo, too strong ……..”

Liu Hongmu’s fighting spirit doused most of it.

“There’s still a chance, control that blade and I’ll wrap him up.”

Martial monk Pure Edge roared, his forehead veins bulging, his handsome face slightly grim.

This was different from what he thought, in his opinion, with so many Fourth Grade experts combining their efforts, and with Pure Heart assisting from the sidelines, wouldn’t suppressing Xu Qi’an be an easy task?

However, Xu Qi’an’s strength exceeded everyone’s imagination.

Pure Edge knew even more that Xu Qi’an still had his most powerful move yet to perform.

Compared to when he was in Xiangzhou, he seems to be strong again.

It wasn’t an illusion, Xu Qi’an was indeed much stronger, and the seal was still there, still only unlocking two nails.

But his overall standard has risen, thanks to a recent double-take.

Double-cultivating with a woman expert at the peak of the second grade, the thickness and purity of his qi was incomparable to before.

Coupled with the physical body of the Third Grade, the assistance of the Taiping Blade, and the means of the Seven Extinction Compass, under the Third Grade, those who could beat him were almost nonexistent.

“No killing!”

The Pure Heart calmly cooperates with the Pure Edge, imposing precepts and confining the target.

Dangdang ……..

Pure Edge stuck to his body and attacked, turning every part of his body into a weapon, one crunchy burst after another exploded, one hit heavier than the other, the attacks were like a blistering wind and rain.

Pure Edge was getting better and better, fighting more and more smoothly, when suddenly, the martial artist’s premonition of crisis warned him.

No specific picture is presented, and the crisis seems to come from all directions.

Poison!

Having crossed paths with Xu Qi’an in Leizhou, he immediately recognized the source of the crisis.

At the same time, his skin felt a burning pain, and the toxin seeped through his pores like a hock.

His toxin can already threaten me …….. Pure Edge’s heart sank as he subconsciously held his breath, and there was a block in his continuous moves.

At that moment, Xu Qi’an finally seized the opportunity and sprayed a mouthful of miserable green gas at him.

In an instant, Pure Edge’s eyes went black and he couldn’t see anything, accompanied by a sharp burning pain in his eyes.

Two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and his eyeballs suffered corrosion and atrophy, making him blind.

Pure Heart’s face changed greatly, because he was unable to empathize with the toxin due to the distance, he completely failed to anticipate that Pure Edge, who had been as ferocious as a tiger one moment, would become blind the next moment.

Xu Qi’an twisted his waist and swung his arms in a painful stance.

“No killing!”

Pure Heart sharply recited the Buddha’s name and administered the precepts to save his senior.

Being tricked …….. Xu Qi’an instantly disappeared, and with the help of a shadow jump drilled out of Beggar Happiness Danxiang’s shadow.

As a heart compounder, the consequence of being sneak attacked and plastered by a martial artist was death.

Beggar Danxiang did her best to try and save herself, no longer distracting her mind from influencing the Taiping Blade, urging her heart compulsion, and shaking out the fluctuations of her Yuan Shen.

He didn’t manage to affect the Third Grade Martial Artist’s genjutsu with his own power, and his eyes were filled with fists.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the White Tiger with the broken arm blocked in front of him, taking the punch hard.

When!

The flesh of the Fourth Grade Demon Race was equally sturdy, and the White Tiger stifled a grunt as the two of them, along with Beggar’s Delight Danxiang, tumbled and flew out.

At this time, because of the interruption of the heart compulsion control, the peace knife “wake up” to come to their own from the hands of the begging joy Danxiang to break free, fly back to the master’s side.

“Buzz ……..”

Taiping sword came from the idea fluctuation, meaning probably: things are not what you think, you listen to my explanation …….

This scum style opening line don t use it on me ……… Xu Qi an gripped the Taiping sword, snapped back toward the back, pulled away, and, far away, made a gesture of drawing the sword.

This distance is beyond the bounds of the commandments.

What does he want?

Zen masters such as Pure Heart could not read his maneuvers.

With such a long distance, even if you wielded your blade, how many percent of your strength would still be left?

It was simply impossible to break through the formation formed by so many Zen masters with their Zen kung fu.

“Jade Shatter!”

Xu Qi’an spoke softly, and after briefly storing up his strength, he swung out the Taiping Blade.

A deep and majestic lion’s roar sounded, and the dark golden blade light flickered away, and in the next moment, it appeared in front of Pureheart and the others.

It’s better to be broken than to be broken.

As long as it’s locked on, it ignores distance.

Pfft …….

Hideous and gruesome slashes appeared on the chest of one Zen master, destroying the heart and their vitality.

The Zen Gong Formation failed to block this overbearing blade intent.

Pure Heart was the only Zen master to escape, his physical body was not as good as a martial artist’s, but after reaching the fourth rank, his life force eventually exceeded that of a mortal.

There was no immediate death after the heart was destroyed.

With trembling hands, he took a porcelain vase from his monk’s robes, poured out a smear of incense ash, and wiped it on his chest.

This is the incense ash from the incense burner in which the Deity Lohan sits, perennially tainted with the scent of the Unborn Fruitful Places.

It has the power to make flesh and bones from the living dead.

On the other side, Xu Qi’an’s chest exploded one after another with bloodstains, bloody flesh and tearing his heart.

The price of jade.

However, for the Third Grade Physical Body, this injury was not fatal, and at most, the wound would heal slower due to the presence of the Demon Sealing Nail.

Liu Hongmu’s delicate body shivered slightly, her legs were soft, and her heart was only filled with fear.

Ji Xuan was seriously injured and not unconscious, witnessing all of this, his eyes dimmed with a look of deep shock.

And Beggar’s Happiness Danxiang, who was lucky enough to regain his life, finally developed a great fear of this long-reputed genius of the Central Plains.

The White Tiger was only thinking about escaping now, without any extra thoughts.

On the other hand, Xu Yuanhuai’s hands were clenched tightly, his heart in bitter despair, at this point, he no longer had half a thought of competing with Xu Qi’an.

Lost, lost, and this was still the case when his cultivation was sealed …….. Xu Yuanfang was in a trance in his heart.

“Too, too strong, this is the realm I’ve been dreaming of.” Miao Youfang muttered.

He whirled around to look to the side in an attempt to gain the old Taoist priest’s approval, only to find that this old fellow, had long ago retreated far away, pulling a long distance away from himself.

Right at this moment, the golden bowl hovering motionless in the sky suddenly shook violently, sending out a circle of golden light ripples.

The battle between Deity Luo Han and Luo Yu Heng was going to come to fruition.

Pure Heart, Ji Xuan and the others who were in despair held their breaths in unison and grasped the last ray of light in this darkness.
