Chapter 338: Fierce Battle with the Cultivators of the Profound Light Cave

"Young friend, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Mingxuan watched the flowing light scatter, first glancing at the Golden Body Dharma Image, then fixing his gaze on the youth before him.

His face was extremely unfamiliar; he had no impression of him whatsoever.

From where had such a young Transformation of Spirit Realm cultivator suddenly emerged?

"Enough, there is nothing worth discussing. Let us leave first."

Liu Jingyuan's expression grew more solemn; this youth was nothing, but that Golden Body Dharma Image was a genuine peer of the same realm.

Moreover, its appearance was somewhat strange; he did not know what level of Golden Body Dharma it was.

If they became entangled in combat, there was also the Crimson Heart Snake Emperor.

He had only been in a good mood, casually helping someone resolve a trouble, but now that trouble seemed poised to burn onto himself, so there was certainly no need to make things worse.

"Senior Zhang! Senior Liu! Stop!"

Feng Huasheng finally realized his situation and hurriedly cried out in alarm, "Take me with you!"

However, before his words had even faded.

A dark red figure dove from the clouds; by the time it landed, Feng Huasheng's figure was already gone from the original spot.

The giant python, its body like a dragon, made the earth tremble.

Overwhelming demonic energy instantly swept outward.

Sensing the familiar taste in its mouth, a look of venomous hatred suddenly surged in its eyes.

In an instant, the entire great python transformed into a beautiful woman in a red skirt; she raised her gaze to look at that Golden Body Dharma Image and said in a low voice, "This Emperor gives you one chance: hand her over."

The dark golden Dharma Image did not move, simply holding Jiang Qiulan quietly in its palm.

It seemed as though it had not heard the Snake Emperor's words.

"So annoying."

Liu Jingyuan's face turned dark; he said directly, "Fellow Daoist, this is merely a misunderstanding. Now that demons and monsters are before us, we cultivators should unite to resist the enemy. Besides, that brat is already dead; you can let go of your anger."

"This face changes faster than flipping a book."

Yu Chaoan, disdainful, wanted to descend, but Tong Xinchuan grabbed him, saying, "That person has a problem."

Sure enough, under the gaze of all.

Shen Yi finally turned his gaze to look backward, his voice indifferent: "Watch it first."

Upon seeing that handsome face and familiar expression, Jiang Qiulan bit her lip hard, and her tense body finally softened a little.

With a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips, the sharpness all over her body vanished almost instantly.

Like a long sword returning to its sheath.

Indeed, it was still him.

Always appearing inexplicably, and as always, making people feel at ease.

Jiang Qiulan did not notice that, upon hearing these words, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the Golden Body Dharma Image: "..."

"Fellow Daoist, what does this mean?"

Zhang Mingxuan slowly clasped his hands behind his back and formed a spell seal with his five fingers.

It was obvious that the Snake Emperor wanted that woman.

Did this brat intend to fight both of us and the Snake Emperor at the same time?

If he was not mistaken, he should be at the early stage of Soul Transformation, not the late stage.

"Is this person the reincarnation of a wine vat? So good at pretending..."

Yu Chaoan had just muttered a complaint when his words suddenly stopped.

He saw that surging black robe instantly vanish from the spot.

Although Zhang Mingxuan had not expected the other to dare to actually attack, he was prepared; the spell seal held at his fingertips was instantly released.

Three Saints Move the Mountain Art!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth instantly erupted, covering nearly hundreds of miles.

Such vast spiritual energy, however, only transformed into three six-foot-tall strongmen; one could see a glimpse of the strength of their bodies.

This spell seal was perfectly suitable for probing.

One glance was enough to discern the other's true capabilities.

Zhang Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and looked.

But the next moment, he discovered he could see nothing at all.

The three strongmen had seized Shen Yi's arms and waist respectively, but as the youth slightly raised his hand, the strongmen's golden bodies instantly crumbled.

Immediately following, that palm landed on the top of Zhang Mingxuan's head.

Boom—

The Soul Transformation body, condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, was directly smashed apart.

The black robe flared up; a single elbow strike blasted into his chest.

Zhang Mingxuan's headless body was instantly blasted away, torn apart by that boundless immense force, and turned into wisps of spiritual energy returning to heaven and earth.

He still had countless spell seals he had not used.

There were still many magical treasures in the storage bag at his waist.

However, that storage bag could now only fall helplessly amidst the spiritual energy filling the sky.

That black figure.

Like a sharp blade, it pierced straight into everyone's eyes.

Even the Crimson Heart Snake Emperor, which had been attacking the Golden Body Dharma Image, instinctively stopped its movement.

"What the hell is that thing!"

Yu Chaoan sucked in a sharp breath; it was not that he could not have dealt with Zhang Mingxuan so simply and cleanly.

After all, the gap in cultivation and techniques lay right there before them.

If the other party had been careless... how could Zhang Mingxuan possibly be careless before someone like him, Yu?

"I told you he was strange."

Tong Xinchuan slowly clenched his five fingers into a fist; fortunately, he had seen it in advance.

Otherwise, had it been himself, seeing a Soul Transformation early-stage cultivator, he would inevitably have let his guard down.

"You..."

Liu Jingyuan suppressed the terror in his heart with all his might and instinctively tried to pull away.

But in the blink of an eye, the youth had seized his neck with lightning speed that left no time to cover one's ears, lifting him up violently.

His knuckle-defined fingers easily sank into Liu Jingyuan's flesh and skin.

Just as he had focused all his attention on Shen Yi's palm, a dark light suddenly pierced straight up from below him, bursting out of his head with a wet "Pfft!" sound.

Then, silently, it retreated back into Shen Yi's storage bag.

Such a piercing wound, besides causing Liu Jingyuan immense pain, actually could not harm his life.

But soon, his eyeballs bulged out.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his oral cavity was filled with black light surging from his throat.

Boom—

In Shen Yi's hand, Liu Jingyuan's entire body exploded violently.

Until this very moment.

Shen Yi casually caught the storage bag and finally turned back to look at the Crimson Heart Snake Emperor.

"Dark Tail..."

The red-dressed beauty's face went blank.

Instinctively, she took two steps backward.

However, the Golden Body Dharma Image that had been avoiding her just now now held Jiang Qiulan in one hand and had silently landed behind her.

Under the enhancement of the dark-gold feather cloak, its movements had reached a point where even a Demon Emperor could not track them.

Seeing this, the red-dressed beauty dared no longer be overconfident.

She directly reverted to her original form.

Its hundred-zhang snake body was entirely covered in dark-red scales, its momentum terrifying, truly a vicious giant demon.

It suddenly rushed toward its old nest.

It was then kicked back by the Golden Body Dharma Image.

A dark-gold footpad slammed down onto its skull; the massive body flipped backward, and the snake head struggled to thrash.

In a pair of venomous eyes, however, reflected a figure that chilled the bones.

The ink-robed youth from before now looked down from a high position.

He waved his hand casually; that wisp of dark light appeared again, fell into his palm, and transformed into a pitch-black, fearsome long spear.

"..."

Jiang Qiulan's eyes widened even more as she watched the youth plummet toward the giant python like a meteor!

Purple-gold flames swept across the sky.

Holding the spear in one hand, he stomped down onto the snake's head with a thunderous crash, violently crushing the raised skull!

The spear tip was wrapped in waves of flame.

With a "Pfft!" sound, it stabbed into its brain.

There was no holding back whatsoever.

His strongest methods were all unleashed.

The sea of fire swallowed the red snake; it let out a long hiss, thrashing its body in madness.

Compared to its massive body,

the youth appeared so small, yet stood quietly atop its head.

Like Gaoshan, immovable and steadfast.
