Chapter 83: Dan Xiu

Yang Lu soon realized it. The scene had already lost Wu Linglong's trace. Yang Lu sensed it, and Wu Linglong's aura had already disappeared from this world. Yang Lu felt a pain in his heart and shouted at the sky: "Little beast, I want to kill you."

Yang Lu, in his madness, had that curved blade appear in his hand. Demonic power was injected into the demonic blade, and the demonic blade turned into a bright light, slashing down at Meng Su from the air.

Meng Su showed a mocking smile, extended his right hand, and pointed a finger at the curved blade. At the tip of Meng Su's finger, the Universe Needle pierced the curved blade silently. Yang Lu's curved blade shattered into fragments.

Meng Su's eyebrows moved, and a powerful thought power was added to the fragments of the curved blade. Those fragments changed direction rapidly and all pierced toward Yang Lu.

Yang Lu was like a madman. His whole body shook, and a protective aura permeated the surface of his body. This was the predecessor of "Immunity to All Laws." Yang Lu refined his body; he did not have a demonic body, or rather, his demonic body was this protective aura. The protective aura shook, shattering the curved blade fragments into powder.

Meng Su had not intended to harm Yang Lu with these fragments; he wanted to divert Yang Lu's attention. Sure enough, Yang Lu focused his attention on those fragments and ignored the Universe Needle hidden among the fragments.

The Universe Needle, carrying intense Nirvana Power, broke through Yang Lu's protective body and pierced into Yang Lu's body. Half of Yang Lu's body withered instantly, and Yang Lu's powerful blood energy lost half of it rapidly, falling from the mid-stage of the Demon Saint realm to the early stage of the Demon Saint realm.

Yang Lu was like a mad demon. Suddenly, his protective aura surged, and the withered left side of his body turned into flying ash and disappeared in the void, all turning into a protective body. Yang Lu turned into half flesh and half gas.

That half body condensed from protective aura had no aura, but it was powerful. Yang Lu's half body raised its palm. Just as the palm was raised, the palm force had already invaded Meng Su's body, followed by all that powerful protective aura invading Meng Su's body along with the palm intent.

That protective aura was like thousands of small knives, stirring rapidly inside Meng Su's body, stirring Meng Su's body into a mess.

Meng Su had never seen a protective body and did not know its power, so he fell for it instantly. Meng Su retreated rapidly. After retreating one step, he spat out a mouthful of blood. After retreating two steps, his body began to crack. After retreating three steps, his body began to permeate with death qi. After retreating four steps, Meng Su's life force was cut off. He stood in place, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

Shi Xiaoxiao saw that Meng Su, who had the upper hand, was suddenly injured by Yang Lu and had his life force cut off within four steps. It was as if her entire belief had been pulled out. Sadness and helplessness occupied Shi Xiaoxiao's heart.

The two Killing Saints seized the opportunity, stepped with strange steps, and their two long swords almost lost their shape in the void, directly piercing into Shi Xiaoxiao's chest.

Yang Lu saw that Meng Su was injured by his protective aura, and his life or death was unknown. The pain of losing his beloved did not ease with Meng Su's unknown life or death; he wanted to grind Meng Su to dust. Yang Lu's body suddenly shortened by a section, and then the lost half of his body turned back into flesh, and then he condensed all his demonic power on his fist and smashed it toward Meng Su's standing body.

Yang Lu poured most of his body's demonic power into his fist. The fist was as fast as the wind and smashed onto Meng Su's face instantly.

Meng Su, who stood still, split into two pieces from the black and white seam in the middle of his body, and then a hand reached out from that black and white demonic body. That hand flicked rhythmically at Yang Lu's fist a few times. Yang Lu, who was still moving, suddenly stiffened slowly and finally formed a flesh-and-blood sculpture. It was exactly Meng Su's "Intent Finger Flick."

The powerful thought power in the "Intent Finger Flick" locked all the meridians of Yang Lu's body. Yang Lu, except for his eyes rolling around, could do nothing.

Meng Su's true body walked slowly out of the black and white demonic body. Meng Su, after advancing to a Demon God, awakened two demonic bodies instantly. The black and white vortex was specialized in swallowing demonic power. The black and white flesh body was specialized in transferring demonic power.

Meng Su grabbed Yang Lu's wrist and then exerted force, swinging Yang Lu around like a package. Yang Lu's face, which had a strong masculine aura, hit and rubbed against the ground rapidly. His whole body was smashed into a bloody mess.

After swinging him a few times, Meng Su suddenly let go, and Yang Lu flew out of his hand, flying into the high sky and disappearing.

Shi Xiaoxiao saw that Meng Su was injured only in his demonic body. Suddenly, her palms emitted bursts of white radiance, and a white flame appeared in the void, wrapping around Shi Xiaoxiao's hands. That white flame was the best among the Pill Flames—Void Flame. Legend has it that the Yin and Yang poles are hidden in the void; the Yang pole is the Void Flame, and the Yin pole is the Nine Cold Water. This Void Flame was another backup plan Shi Buli left for Shi Xiaoxiao, refined into Shi Xiaoxiao's body.

Once the Void Flame appeared, the surrounding space's Yin and Yang were unbalanced. The Yang was in Shi Xiaoxiao, and the Yin was in the two Killing Saints.

Soon the two Killing Saints turned into two ice lumps. Shi Xiaoxiao grabbed the killing swords that had pierced into her body with both hands, and the two swords turned into gas, disappearing into the void as a wisp of blue smoke.

Shi Xiaoxiao's body flashed with white light, and a white garment detached from Shi Xiaoxiao's body. This garment had borne the killing intent of the two Killing Saints. This was Shi Xiaoxiao's demonic body, called: Dan Xiu.

After the two Killing Saints turned into ice lumps, they did not surrender, but a strange demonic power rose from their bodies. This demonic power freed their feet, and then the two retreated rapidly. After retreating to a certain distance, the two began to dance a strange dance. The two Killing Saints, who were already flickering in and out of the void, became even more elusive. With the change of these steps, the supernatural abilities added to the Killing Saints dissolved, and the two Killing Saints returned to their original state.

Shi Xiaoxiao saw those strange steps and muttered to herself: "The Demon-Avoiding Step?" This was a magical footwork, originally a type of escape footwork created by the Left and Right Sects to cooperate with assassinations. Later, after being perfected by several generations of elites of the Left and Right Sects, it became a footwork used for both escape and attack.

Several hundred years ago, a genius appeared in the Left and Right Sects who sublimated the "Demon-Avoiding Step," resulting in a supernatural ability. By using this Demon-Avoiding Step, one could shake off all supernatural abilities, demonic power, and other attacks added to oneself.

Now that these two Killing Saints had used the "Demon-Avoiding Step," it showed that they were not overly peripheral in the Left and Right Sects and should belong to the core assassins. Such assassins demanded extremely high prices and would basically not take action without a million Gathering Spirit Pills. Yang Lu was determined to get Shi Xiaoxiao. It seemed that this was not aimed at Shi Xiaoxiao personally, but at the Pill Saint inheritance.

Just as the two Killing Saints shook off the extreme Yin power on their bodies, Meng Su had already freed his hands. Before his demonic body was destroyed by Yang Lu, he had seen Shi Xiaoxiao being pierced in the chest by the killing swords of the two Killing Saints, and Meng Su's heart was burning with anger. He didn't have many relatives in this world, and this Shi Xiaoxiao called him brother, so he had already regarded her as a relative in his heart. But he couldn't even protect his own relative, so Meng Su was very angry.

The two Killing Saints were still several hundred zhang away from Meng Su. Meng Su turned into a meteor and rushed straight toward the two. While rushing wildly, Meng Su formed seals with both hands. One supernatural ability after another was emitted from Meng Su's hands and disappeared into the void.

The two Killing Saints sensed Meng Su's killing intent, took out other long swords from their storage rings, prepared to meet the enemy, and waited for Meng Su.

The rushing Meng Su suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already standing in front of one of the Killing Saints. Meng Su's face and that Killing Saint's face were less than half a foot apart. That Killing Saint even felt Meng Su's cold breath.

The Killing Saint was greatly shocked and hurriedly retreated, because at this distance, his killing sword could not be deployed at all.

After Meng Su's realm became a Demon God, the range of "Body Follows Thought" became even larger. The reason he had to pretend to rush wildly was because Meng Su needed to emit supernatural abilities. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
