Chapter 753 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
After slaying the black-clad cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, Su Han's aura became slightly disordered, and he had also consumed a considerable amount of his chaotic spiritual energy. However, he didn't rest. Instead, he flashed forward, charging towards the remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators. The remaining four Nascent Soul stage cultivators—two in the late stage and two in the middle stage—saw their companion instantly killed by Su Han. A hint of fear flashed in their eyes, but more than that, a frenzied killing intent filled them—they knew very well that if they couldn't quickly kill Su Han, and once the Yin-Yang Elder on the altar was restrained, they would all perish without a burial place.
"This kid's got some skills! Everyone, join forces and kill him first!" A gaunt, sinister-looking late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in black shouted sharply. He held a curved black scimitar in his hand, its blade shrouded in dense Yin energy—clearly a weapon specifically refined from Yin and evil power. Before he finished speaking, he flashed forward, his black scimitar slicing through the air. A twisted black blade aura, carrying a bone-chilling cold, slashed towards Su Han's back. Wherever the blade aura passed, even the surrounding air condensed into a thin layer of black frost.
Meanwhile, another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, burly and exuding demonic energy that seemed almost tangible, wielded a massive black battle axe. As the axe fell with overwhelming force, a thick black axe aura cleaved towards Su Han's head, the pressure causing the surrounding space to hum and vibrate, as if to cleave Su Han in two. The remaining two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators flanked him from the left and right, their longswords flashing simultaneously, two slender yet sharp black sword energies aimed directly at Su Han's limbs, clearly intending to cripple him first before slowly torturing him to death.
Surrounded on all sides, Su Han was in dire straits, but his eyes showed no fear; instead, an even stronger fighting spirit ignited within him. He took a deep breath, his remaining chaotic spiritual energy circulating wildly within him. The power of his Dao Heart quietly merged into his limbs and bones, while the power of the Azure Lotus slowly flowed in his dantian, repairing the spiritual energy consumed in the previous battle. "Chaotic Sword Technique—Chaotic Heart Protection!" Su Han shouted, his chaotic sword spinning rapidly. Golden chaotic spiritual energy formed a tight defensive barrier around him, upon which chaotic energy flowed, radiating an ancient yet powerful aura.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Three loud sounds rang out almost simultaneously as black blade energy, axe energy, and sword energy crashed into the chaotic barrier one after another. The golden barrier trembled violently, and ripples spread across its surface. Su Han involuntarily took three steps back, the black rocks beneath his feet shattering beneath his feet, sending fragments flying. Tiny cracks appeared on the chaotic barrier, but it was ultimately not breached. The three black attacks were instantly purified by the chaotic spiritual energy, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
"Impossible! How can your defense be so strong?" The gaunt, black-clad cultivator's eyes were filled with disbelief. He hadn't expected that his full-force attack couldn't even break through the defense of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Su Han sneered, without uttering any further words. His figure flashed, and he charged towards the gaunt cultivator like an arrow released from a bow. The Chaos Sword was aimed directly at the opponent's throat, its speed reaching its limit, leaving only a golden afterimage.
The gaunt cultivator was terrified and hurriedly swung his black blade to parry. With a crisp clang, the Chaos Sword clashed with the black blade. Golden chaotic spiritual energy instantly spread from the black blade to the gaunt cultivator's arm, scorching his meridians and purifying the demonic energy within him. The gaunt cultivator felt a sharp pain in his arm, as if it were being burned by raging fire. He nearly dropped the black blade. He frantically circulated his demonic energy, trying to force back Su Han's chaotic spiritual energy, but chaotic energy is the primordial power of heaven and earth, naturally restraining demonic energy. No matter how he circulated his demonic energy, he couldn't stop the erosion of the chaotic spiritual energy.
"Die!" A cold glint flashed in Su Han's eyes. With a slight twist of his wrist, the Chaos Sword thrust forward, piercing through the withered cultivator's defenses and precisely embedding its tip in his throat. Golden chaotic spiritual energy instantly surged into the withered cultivator's body, frantically devouring and purifying his demonic energy and soul. The withered cultivator didn't even have time to scream before his body rapidly turned to ashes, leaving only a black curved blade that fell to the ground, instantly purified by the chaotic spiritual energy and reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
In a short span of time, two black-clad cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage were successively killed by Su Han. The remaining two mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators were completely panicked. They exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes. "This kid is too terrifying. We are no match for him. Quickly, go find reinforcements!" one of the cultivators said, trembling. Before he finished speaking, the two turned and tried to flee towards the altar, wanting to support the Yin-Yang Elder and escape Su Han's pursuit.
"Trying to run? Too late!" Su Han snorted coldly, his figure flashing as he instantly blocked the path of the two cultivators. With a swing of his Chaos Sword, two golden Chaos Sword Qi shot out simultaneously, aiming straight for their backs. The two cultivators were shocked and hurriedly turned to parry with their swords. "Bang! Bang!" The two Chaos Sword Qi struck their swords directly, the powerful force sending them staggering backward, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood—the demonic energy within their bodies had been corroded by the Chaos Sword Qi, and their meridians were beginning to be damaged.
"Chaotic Sword Technique - Chaotic Annihilation!" Su Han gave the two no chance to catch their breath, charging forward once more. The Chaotic Sword drew golden arcs in the air, countless tiny chaotic sword energies converging to form a massive golden sword net that enveloped the two cultivators. Chaotic energy permeated the sword net, purifying demonic energy wherever it passed. Trapped within the net, the two cultivators were trapped, unable to advance or retreat, their faces filled with despair.
"Fight to the death!" A mad glint flashed in the eyes of one of the cultivators. He suddenly channeled all the demonic energy within his body, and the longsword in his hand erupted with a blinding black light as he thrust it with all his might towards the sword net, trying to break free of its restraints. The other cultivator followed closely behind, also channeling all his demonic energy and swinging his longsword towards the same spot on the sword net. The two black sword energies converged, forming a massive black pillar of light that crashed into the golden sword net.
With a deafening roar, the golden sword net trembled violently, revealing a huge gap. However, the chaotic spiritual energy quickly filled the gap again, and the sword net became even tighter. The two cultivators were thrown backward by the shockwave, crashing heavily onto the black rocks. They spat out large amounts of black blood, their breaths becoming extremely weak. Their demonic energy was completely depleted, and their meridians were riddled with holes by the chaotic sword energy.
Su Han flashed to the two cultivators, the Chaos Sword hovering above their heads, his eyes icy: "Speak! What conspiracy does the Yin-Yang Elder have in opening the ancient altar? What secrets does the altar hold?" (End of Chapter)
