Chapter 325

The Divine Demon stands firm, killing intent everywhere within ten steps!

After merging the spirits, the Divine Demon is formed; how could such a Zhang Fan be like before, letting people knead and despise him at will?

Wei Qingshuang was born into a famous family and married into the Xu family; for many years, she had held a high position and naturally developed a commanding posture, her divine intent was high, and ordinary Daoist disciples were not even put in her eyes, let alone a young man like Zhang Fan?

Back then, she had also investigated Zhang Fan's family background; in the information she could obtain, this was just a poor boy who lost his mother at a young age, had an ordinary background, and could only barely go to university by relying on his father who made a living on construction sites.

With this kind of background, if it weren't for the slight connection with her daughter, he would never have entered her sight in this lifetime.

Such a lowly ordinary person, having met her once, was already a great fortune, but now, this kind of person had actually entered her sight again; Wei Qingshuang was naturally thunderously angry, feeling a chill in her heart.

How could her various thoughts and attitudes be hidden from Zhang Fan?

The Divine Demon merges, just like the departing flame in the bright sky, profound and high above, boundless and vast; such thoughts and such reflections were all contained within it.

If there is awe in the heart, the Divine Demon does not appear; if there is an intention to rebel, heaven kills and earth punishes.

Zhang Fan raised his hand and detained Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen out, holding it between his five fingers, mastering it within a square inch.

"Method of detaining gods? Are you a monster of the Wu Wei Gate?" Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen roared in shock, simply unable to believe it.

Ever since Xu Zhixia graduated and returned to her side, she hadn't paid much attention to her daughter.

Who could have thought that the poor boy she didn't even look at back then, that ordinary person, would transform into a Daoist expert, and possess the secret method of Wu Wei, detaining gods at the slightest disagreement, simply without taboos, domineering and extraordinary.

Hum...

Almost at the same time, Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen shook violently, a wisp of yin wind rose abruptly, the chill like ice, the killing intent like soul-hooking, forcing its way into Zhang Fan's brow and spiritual platform.

Wei Qingshuang was, after all, a person of the Xu family, and she herself had high-merit cultivation; this hand of 【Supreme Yin Soul-Snatching】 was a Yuanshen skill she had been immersed in for many years, refining the yin spirit within the true yang, most suitable for women to practice; once successful, it is like a scorpion's poisonous hook, killing in reverse, specifically breaking the Daoist Yuanshen.

At this life-and-death juncture, Wei Qingshuang could still counterattack, which shows the depth of her skill and the decisiveness of her divine machine.

Hum...

The yin wind was like a poisonous hook, killing the spring breeze, a cold feeling brushed across his brow, and that strange power drilled in along the brow like a maggot, melting into the Yuanshen.

"Refining the Supreme Yin Qi in the Yuanshen, snatching souls and spirits, poisonous as a play."

Zhang Fan stood motionless, and there wasn't even the slightest change in the expression on his face.

"Auntie, your skill hasn't been practiced to the end yet." Zhang Fan looked at the Yuanshen held in his hand and said indifferently.

"You... how can you be okay?" Wei Qingshuang's eyes widened, simply unable to believe it.

At this very moment, a deep fear finally surged in her heart.

At such a close distance, the Yuanshen was hit by her hand of 【Supreme Yin Soul-Snatching】 and was actually unharmed; what kind of skill is this, what kind of person is this?

"So you are an expert of the Wu Wei Gate, deliberately approaching Zhixia back then, wanting to plot against our Xu family?" Wei Qingshuang calmed down; she stared fixedly at Zhang Fan, peeling the cocoon to restore the truth.

"Zhenwu Mountain has the hand of 【Entangling Gods】, Mount Laojun has the technique of 【Guarding the Corpse Palace】, and even Bai He Guan has the method of 【Illuminating Empty Lamp】... all have the power to detain gods and lock souls." Zhang Fan talked eloquently.

His momentum was as vast as the sky, and he was familiar with the strengths of various sects.

Such a Zhang Fan appeared extremely strange in Xu Zhixia's eyes.

"How much Dao practice do you have, daring to discuss my origin and background?"

Zhang Fan said word by word, the deep pressure sweeping over like a tidal wave, making Wei Qingshuang unable to breathe.

At this very moment, she had to admit that she had underestimated this young man.

"If I were a person of the Wu Wei Gate, when you first opposed it, I would have killed you first." Zhang Fan sneered.

As the words fell, Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen couldn't help but shudder; at this moment, she didn't doubt the words of this young man in front of her at all.

This was not being brave and fighting, but true killing intent like a knife, hiding the edge in the sheath, the sharpness appearing, life and death within ten steps.

"Zhang Fan..."

At this time, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but call out anxiously, her expression tense to the extreme; she looked at Zhang Fan, her eyes filled with pleading.

In Jingjiang City, she had already seen Zhang Fan's ruthless means, and she was really afraid that Zhang Fan would wipe out her mother completely at the slightest disagreement.

If that really happened, the two would never be reconciled, and she didn't know how to face it.

"Zhixia, this is a society ruled by law, and I am not a perverted serial killer who kills at the slightest disagreement." Zhang Fan's mouth curled slightly, smiling lightly, like a spring breeze, making the tense atmosphere relax significantly.

Killing intent like a knife is best at honing the mind; if the mind is like a monkey and the intention like a horse, once released, the world turns upside down; if one can subdue the monkey and tie the horse, that is truly having vast supernatural powers.

As the saying goes, killing intent released is like a demon lord, subduing and sheathing is like a god; with coming and going, releasing and receiving, vertical and horizontal, the knife can be sharpened sharper and sharper.

Beyond killing and not killing, above life and death.

This is the true Divine Demon Dao.

"However..."

Just as Xu Zhixia's lifted heart fell, Zhang Fan's tone changed, making her tense up again abruptly.

"Death penalty can be avoided, living sin is hard to escape." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

As the words fell, Wei Qingshuang's heart skipped a beat, feeling an invisible force pass through her Yuanshen; her Yuanshen immediately became a bit lighter, as if something had been taken away.

The next moment, Zhang Fan opened his five fingers and let Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen go.

"You... you cut my Dao practice!?"

Wei Qingshuang's Yuanshen returned to her body; her face was pale, her eyes widened, staring fixedly at Zhang Fan, simply unable to believe it.

Her Yuanshen didn't have the slightest damage, but her realm had fallen from high merit.

Such means, being able to cut the realm without moving the Yuanshen, even she had never heard of it.

"Auntie, if you can return to the high merit realm in this lifetime, I will respect you as a man." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

That hand just now was a skill from the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate.

This inner alchemy method is the nemesis of all Yuanshen in the world, seeking the Three Corpses and cutting the foundation.

Even if Wei Qingshuang's talent is high, it is impossible for her to cultivate the cut realm back; her life is just like this.

For a cultivator, being unable to advance even half a step in a lifetime is like a shackle placed by heaven, which is endless despair for the rest of one's life.

"Young man, I admit you are very unusual, but don't you know what fear is?" Wei Qingshuang was trembling with anger, but at this very moment, she no longer had the commanding attitude from just now, and the look in her eyes toward Zhang Fan was full of wariness and fear.

"Auntie, I know the Xu family is powerful, but don't forget, this is Yujing; there is a saying you should know." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

"What saying?"

"A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake!"

As these words were spoken, Wei Qingshuang bit her silver teeth, as if she had been slapped in the face; ever since she married into the Xu family, she had been treated with courtesy everywhere she went, and had never been subjected to such pressure and humiliation.

Not to mention, such pressure and humiliation came from a young man.

"By the way, also, why do I need your approval? Don't forget who you are just because I called you Auntie."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan turned and left, his posture as high and extraordinary as Mount Cang descending to the world.

Wei Qingshuang looked at his back, her nails almost sinking into her flesh; it had always been her doing this to others, and she had never felt this kind of feeling of being humbled.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Xu Zhixia hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Wei Qingshuang.

"We'll talk when we get back." Wei Qingshuang gritted her teeth, feeling her legs go a bit soft.

A moment later, the mother and daughter returned to the hotel room.

A stick of clear incense rose, curling like smoke, but the faint fragrance could calm the spirit and fix the soul.

The 【Six Spirits Condensing Soul Incense】 secretly made by the Xu family is an ancestral method; after continuous improvement through generations, lighting this incense during cultivation can wash away thoughts, suppress the conscious mind, and prevent one from going into demonic deviation.

On the market, this kind of incense cannot be bought at all; it is only the major sects and families that have good relations with the Xu family that can order a little bit every year, with limited quantity and extremely high prices.

Such a stick of incense, if it falls into the black market, would cost at least 30,000 to 50,000.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Xu Zhixia asked with concern.

Wei Qingshuang's expression relaxed, gradually recovering her blood color.

"There's no major problem, it's just that the fallen realm is probably hard to return to."

High merit realm, once fallen, wanting to return requires ten or a hundred times the hardship.

"Zhang Fan, I underestimated him; just this hand of skill is not simple, he has a place among the younger generation." Wei Qingshuang's gaze was solemn as she looked at Xu Zhixia.

"You've been with him for so long, don't you know his background?"

"I don't know." Xu Zhixia shook her head.

In university, she didn't see anything different about Zhang Fan; he was clearly an ordinary person whose Yuanshen hadn't awakened.

As for his family background, it was also extremely ordinary; she had seen Zhang Fan's father more than once, he was very lean, and at a glance, he was just an ordinary uncle who had been making a living on construction sites for many years.

However, later, in the reunion in Yujing City, Zhang Fan completely overturned Xu Zhixia's cognition; at that time, Zhang Fan was only one step away from entering the high merit realm, and even practiced Daoist arts like the Fire Dragon Pill Sword.

"Later, I never saw him again."

Xu Zhixia hesitated slightly, silently hiding everything that happened in Jingjiang City in her heart.

To this day, the Xu family still thinks that the deaths of Xu Banshan and Xu Changnian were the work of the Wu Wei Gate.

"This young man is not simple." Wei Qingshuang said solemnly: "His origin is mysterious, his Daoist arts are even stronger, and he is ruthless and has a very deep city."

"Mom..." Xu Zhixia heard this and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Wei Qingshuang raising her hand.

"Just now, I clearly felt his killing intent."

"Possessing sharp weapons, killing intent appears naturally; ordinary people wouldn't be easily humiliated if they had power, let alone someone like this who draws his sword within ten steps?" Wei Qingshuang said solemnly.

"Although it was a momentary impulse, it didn't reach the point of fighting to the death, but this young man has great killing intent, yet he can release and receive it."

"You think he didn't kill me just now because of your face?"

At this point, Wei Qingshuang shook her head: "This kind of person has a square mind and a decision in his heart, so he won't be swayed by anyone."

"Then why did he..." Xu Zhixia stopped mid-sentence.

"I am, after all, a person of the Xu family; in public, if he really killed me, there would naturally be trouble." Wei Qingshuang said in a deep voice.

"This kind of person seems to have no taboos, but in reality, he has a very deep city."

"He won't move against me on the surface, but it's hard to say in secret."

It must be said that Wei Qingshuang is from a great family after all, and she sees through Zhang Fan's thoughts like fire.

"Mom, are you saying he will come to settle the score secretly?" Xu Zhixia's face trembled slightly.

"I don't know." Wei Qingshuang shook her head, a lingering fear surging in her eyes: "I can't see through this young man."

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshuang looked at Xu Zhixia, a soft look appearing on her beautiful face; she held Xu Zhixia's hand and said slowly.

"In the future, Mom won't manage your affairs anymore."

"Mom, are you saying..." Xu Zhixia's heart trembled slightly.

"You should know that our Xu family has a big business and many disciples, so the competition is naturally great."

"Back then, letting you lurk in the Wu Wei Gate was because I hoped you could earn a merit and win a future for yourself."

"It's a pity, the water in the Wu Wei Gate is too deep; you didn't get valued, so it's better to withdraw."

"Similarly, letting you break up with this Zhang Fan back then was also because I hoped you could have a good destination and reliance; if he were an ordinary person, not only could he not help you, but even he would be dragged down."

As a mother, Wei Qingshuang indeed considered a lot for Xu Zhixia.

"But now it's different, he is not an ordinary person."

"Mom, are you saying you agree to me being with him?" Xu Zhixia couldn't help but ask.

"A person like him is very dangerous and not someone you can control." Wei Qingshuang shook her head: "Not to mention, you don't even know his background."

"To be honest, Mom still doesn't want you to be with this kind of person."

"But then again, I know your thoughts... perhaps I am really old, many things, you should decide for yourself." Wei Qingshuang sighed.

"I can't go back to him." Xu Zhixia shook her head, a look of dimness flashing in her beautiful eyes, but Li Miaoyin, whom she had seen in Jingjiang City that day, appeared in her mind.

She knew that Zhang Fan now had someone else by his side.

"Mom, I don't want to talk about children's private affairs now, I just want to accompany you." Xu Zhixia hugged into Wei Qingshuang's arms.

"Silly child, sooner or later, you will have to start a family." Wei Qingshuang patted Xu Zhixia's back and said softly.

"If you don't like him anymore, you can still have other choices..."

"These days, many disciples of Pure Yang families are in Yujing City, perhaps your fate is among them."

"Pure Yang families!?" Xu Zhixia couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Actually, this is also your opportunity." Wei Qingshuang changed the subject and suddenly said: "If you move around and get close to these Pure Yang family disciples, perhaps you can do something big and win capital for yourself in the clan."

"What big thing?" Xu Zhixia couldn't help but say.

"Do you know why the major Pure Yang families have been actively moving recently, and many disciples have gathered in Yujing City?" Wei Qingshuang changed the subject and suddenly asked.

"Why?"

"Reliable information has come..."

"【Zi Shu】 among the Thirteen Zodiacs will appear here, with the purpose of meeting a very important person."

Wei Qingshuang whispered solemnly, revealing an unknown secret.

"These people came to catch the rat!!!"
