Chapter 117: What Have You Done

At that moment, Su Yuanshan's expression was not very pleasant, while the faces of Lv Qingshan and Xie Lingyu turned black instantly.

Xie Lingyu gave a wink to Su Yuanshan and Lv Qingshan, then immediately summoned her flying sword to strike at Taohua Xianren.

At the same time, Lv Qingshan also shook his horsetail whisk and made his move; his opening strike was a grand ultimate technique—Azure Cloud Sweeps Away Three Thousand Demonic Strands!

Su Yuanshan no longer held back either, his Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art instantly firing at full power; the three of them attacked Taohua Xianren with all their might, yet with a single "hum," their attacks all missed.

Suddenly feeling a chill strike, Xie Lingyu and Lv Qingshan were greatly alarmed, thinking to themselves.

Not good.

Yet before they could react, they were sent flying; they did not even see how Taohua Xianren had attacked.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang,"

Although Su Yuanshan's Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art had frozen the surrounding peach trees, it unfortunately failed to hit Taohua Xianren, resulting in absolutely no effect.

Taohua Xianren suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then came the sound.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Countless sharp spikes suddenly shot out from his chest,

just like the tentacles of an octopus.

"Clang, clang, clang," they nearly pinned Su Yuanshan to the ground.

Fortunately, Su Yuanshan's reactions were fast enough, and he dodged continuously; while he was dodging, those root-like tentacles suddenly pulled out from the mud, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then struck at him again like lightning, even attacking him while his feet had yet to touch the ground.

Su Yuanshan had no choice but to take a deep breath and leap into the air once more.

At this moment, the 'evil' side of Taohua Xianren spoke up to scold.

"Good side, you are still holding back; do you really want us to die? You know what kind of vicious methods Baie Hou would use, don't you? Let's finish him off quickly, stop holding back!

Do not let your foolish kindness ruin the big picture! Do I need to remind you over and over again! Understand?"

"This time we must combine our strength for one strike to finish him off completely! Put away your indecisiveness!"

Seeing the red and green lights on Taohua Xianren's body becoming increasingly dazzling, Su Yuanshan understood that this demon immortal did not intend to hold back any longer and was planning to get serious, to eradicate him completely.

This meant that Taohua Xianren's next attack, even if not earth-shattering, would be a strike that instantly decided the life and death of Su Yuanshan.

Sure enough, before he could react, or rather, before his body could even reach that level of reaction, thousands of sharp tentacles descended from the sky, sealing off all directions around him.

Life and death hung in a single instant!

At that moment, Lv Qingshan could not help but close his eyes; he knew better than anyone that in the face of such a formidable monster, they did not have even the slightest chance of victory, and the final outcome would only be death, with Su Yuanshan merely going a step ahead of them.

Gazing at the sky full of sword-like peach wood tentacles.

Xie Lingyu knew that she was truly beyond saving today; Su Yuanshan was beyond saving, and she was beyond saving too.

Countless tentacles, like sharp swords, densely covered the sky and blocked the sun, concentrating on a single point, whistling as they came, and that point was exactly Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan looked up at this moment as if watching his own doomsday; it seemed he was beyond saving and would die in the next second.

Just as the sword-like tentacles were about to pierce his body, Su Yuanshan reached into his Spirit Void Ring, took out a pill, and crushed it instantly.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to stand still; countless arrow-like tentacles stopped abruptly, one inch from Su Yuanshan's eyes.

Then the color began to change, from green to white, and then spread rapidly to the surroundings like a plague.

At that moment, Su Yuanshan felt as if he were in a fairyland, in a world of ice crystals; those root-like tentacles were now shining like exquisite works of art.

With his mood so calm and the world so beautiful, gazing at the thousands of root-like tentacles, Su Yuanshan not only let out a long sigh of relief but then blew on them gently.

With a bang, in an instant, it seemed the whole world collapsed!

However, what collapsed were the sword-like branches and roots generated by Taohua Xianren that had been wrapped around him; finally, with a bang, they all shattered.

Following an angry roar, Su Yuanshan could see Taohua Xianren's body shrink rapidly, finally becoming a peach tree with swaying flower branches.

Seeing Su Yuanshan walk out, the peach tree seemed both shocked and furious.

"You bastard, what have you done to me?"

Gently tossing away the small pill bottle in his hand, Su Yuanshan said indifferently.

"Nothing much, just a small surprise—a tiny Dharma Pill, that's all; I accidentally sealed your magic power!

So you need not mind, and even less should you blame me."

"Bastard, bastard, bastard!"

Taohua Xianren's fragile heart shattered all over the ground!

With his efforts falling short at the last moment, he could not help but roar, cursing out of control, while simultaneously controlling the branches and petals to attack Su Yuanshan.

However, with a boom, raging flames ignited all around Su Yuanshan.

"Profound Nether True Fire—Red Lotus!"

At that moment, Su Yuanshan held nothing back, suddenly unleashing the Profound Nether True Fire Red Lotus, and at full power.

As he waved his hand, screams were heard, and finally, Taohua Xianren turned into raging flames amidst his struggles, was eventually burned to charcoal with a crackling sound, and finally, blown by the wind, shattered into pieces and turned into fly ash.

Su Yuanshan found the demon core of Taohua Xianren and then, under the envious gazes of the crowd, put it away.

At that moment, shock was no longer enough to describe the feelings of Lv Qingshan, Xie Lingyu, and the others; they were incomparably shocked!

For some reason, Cai Lian stared straight at Su Yuanshan and suddenly asked.

"You are... you are Young Master Su, aren't you?"

Su Yuanshan's heart could not help but skip a beat, and he pretended to be nonchalant as he said.

"Young Master Su? The young lady must have mistaken me for someone else!"

However, Tian Ruoyun, who had not spoken until now, also stared at him and spoke up.

"Su Yuanshan……………… You are definitely Su Yuanshan!

Although a person's appearance can indeed deceive and is indeed very misleading, his eyes cannot be deceived; I finally understand now why I felt you were so familiar!

You are Young Master Su—Su Yuanshan!"

What?

Xie Lingyu seemed somewhat incredulous and could not help but look at everyone.

Even Lv Qingshan wore a look of astonishment, carefully scrutinizing the dark-faced man before him; he truly could not connect that elegant youth in white to the person currently before him.

Only Sima Wuhen looked bewildered, as if he did not understand what they were talking about, and as if he did not know who Su Yuanshan was.

Xie Lingyu asked tentatively.

"You... are you really my benefactor?"

Su Yuanshan sighed and could not help but give a bitter smile; he finally decided to come clean.

He nodded helplessly and said.

"That is correct, I am indeed Su Yuanshan. The discernment of Miss Cailian and your disciple is truly sharp; even this could not be hidden from them! Sigh."

As he spoke, he lightly wiped his face, and instantly, a handsome face was revealed.

There was not a trace of black left on his face; all that remained was a pure white, a white like jade!

His entire temperament changed, and upon seeing this, Sima Wuhen's eyes lit up, and he could not help but praise him inwardly.

"What a dashing youth; his skill in disguise is truly exquisite!"

"It really is Young Master Su, I really didn't guess wrong!"

Tian Ruoyun could not help but jump for joy, and Cailian was also all smiles, appearing somewhat proud of herself.

The remaining disciples of the Kaiyuan Academy, however, watched in a daze, their eyes filled with respect for Su Yuanshan; they had not expected that this dark-faced man was merely wearing a disguise.

He looked younger than them, yet his cultivation was so high; how did he train?

However, Lv Qingshan stared fixedly at Su Yuanshan, and suddenly...
