Chapter 275: Tang Ying

With Jiang Xun providing backup and Jun Tianling using Spirit Power at will, the Thousand-Legged Centipede was soon killed by Jun Tianling until not even bone fragments remained.

Just as Jiang Xun took over the body and prepared to consume a Soul Returning Pill, a ten-meter-long Ice Sword flew in from not far away, piercing directly through Jun Tianling's abdomen.

"Ugh."

Jiang Xun spat out a mouthful of blood violently.

The speed of this Ice Sword was truly too fast; if it were Jun Tianling, she might have been able to react, but Jiang Xun had not grown to a Saint step by step, and facing this strike, he could not react in time.

Fortunately, the Soul Returning Pill was right in his mouth; after Jiang Xun swallowed the Soul Returning Pill, he shattered the Ice Sword with a single palm strike.

Ice Sword.

One could guess who it was with their toes.

Jiang Xun turned his head back and, sure enough, saw Tang Ying flying behind her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Jiang Xun looked at Tang Ying and asked.

"Ice Core Flower..." Tang Ying looked at the wound on Jun Tianling's abdomen as it healed rapidly, murmuring to herself.

"What about the Ice Core Flower?" Jiang Xun frowned and asked.

"My mother's sword was named Ice Core. After the master dies, Ice Core turns into a flower. When I first met you, I had already found the Ice Core Flower. There were only you and Si Yuyan on the entire mountain, and you became a Saint. After these few hundred years of being together, I am very certain that it was you who killed my mother."

Tang Ying said.

"After these few hundred years of contact, surely you know the consequences for those who betray me?" Jiang Xun looked at Tang Ying with a cold face and said.

"Of course." Tang Ying nodded and smiled bitterly: "I just don't understand, you clearly had no Spirit Power just now..."

When she met Jun Tianling, she was merely a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm and was no match for Jun Tianling, so she chose to remain still, staying by Jun Tianling's side while improving her strength and waiting for an opportunity.

In today's battle, Tang Ying had been secretly keeping an eye on Jun Tianling.

Seeing Jun Tianling use a powerful move at the start of the battle, consuming a great deal of Spirit Power, she waited for her to defeat the Thousand-Legged Centipede and set up an Ice Wall to block the Hyena Demon King she was fighting, before attacking Jun Tianling.

She had thought it would be a kill in one strike, but she never expected her to have abilities she didn't know about.

During their conversation, the wound and Spirit Power had actually completely healed.

At this moment, she knew she was finished.

"Roar!"

While the two were talking, a large bird attacked Jiang Xun from the sky.

Jiang Xun waved his hand, and a mass of Black Thunder blasted onto the large bird, instantly electrocuting it into ash that drifted away with the wind.

Seeing Jun Tianling use Black Thunder that she had never seen before, Tang Ying finally realized that Jun Tianling had always been guarding against her.

"Yuyan." Jiang Xun looked up and called out.

Si Yuyan, who was fighting the Golden Eagle, heard the voice and used her Crimson Wings to arrive beside Jiang Xun in an instant: "That Golden Eagle is a bit formidable. Did she just move against you?"

Si Yuyan's movement speed was no less than Jun Tianling's; for a moment, the Golden Eagle could not find where Si Yuyan was.

"Yes, I am going to kill her now and then fuse her soul with yours." Jiang Xun nodded and said.

"Did you hear that! You're getting slaughtered! You ungrateful wretch, our Tianling brought you to the Saint Realm, and this is how you repay our Tianling!"

Si Yuyan looked at Tang Ying and shouted.

"But why fuse with my soul?" Si Yuyan turned back to look at Jiang Xun and asked.

"Don't ask so much, it will be useful." Jiang Xun said.

"Alright." Si Yuyan nodded: "Then I will deal with her, you handle that Golden Eagle?"

"Mm." Jiang Xun nodded, then flew high into the sky; calling Si Yuyan over was for this purpose as well.

Moreover, Jiang Xun was not worried that Si Yuyan could not defeat Tang Ying; after all, Jiang Xun had been cautious back then, and everyone had Top-grade Spirit Stones to improve their strength, except for Tang Ying, who remained the weakest Saint in the Void Sect to this day.

The Golden Eagle, no longer held back by Si Yuyan, had now charged into the crowd; a large number of cultivators were swept away by the tornado stirred up by the Golden Eagle, their heads flying hundreds of meters away.

After catching up to the Golden Eagle, Jiang Xun immediately pulled it into his Domain.

When the Golden Eagle saw it was the same Saint who had just finished off the Thousand-Legged Centipede, it immediately raised its guard to the maximum, activating its own Domain while also manifesting its Dharma Image.

However, in just one encounter, the entire Heavenly Net Soul-Urging Domain suddenly released extremely powerful Black Thunder, as if they were amidst lightning, instantly shattering the Golden Eagle's Dharma Image and Domain.

Crimson Wings flashed in front of the Golden Eagle, and with a Soul-Suppressing Sword strike, the Golden Eagle was split in two, its soul and Demon Core also shattered by the Black Thunder.

"Your Black Thunder can even fuse with my Domain?" Jun Tianling said upon seeing this.

"I just tried it, didn't expect it to actually work." Jiang Xun nodded and withdrew the Domain.

Si Yuyan was still fighting Tang Ying over there, so seeing this, Jiang Xun went to assist the others in defeating the Demon Kings.

Si Yuyan must defeat Tang Ying herself; only then could Si Yuyan completely suppress Tang Ying in terms of the soul in the future.

A moment later, Si Yuyan successfully knocked Tang Ying to the ground. Jiang Xun immediately arrived beside the two, used Heavenly Light Freedom to split Si Yuyan's consciousness in two, and then fused Tang Ying's soul with Si Yuyan.

This also relied on Heavenly Light Freedom; it was fortunate he had learned it from Jiang Yan.

Unlike the fusion of an Artifact Spirit and a master, Si Yuyan and Tang Ying were both humans at this moment. Once Si Yuyan's primary personality gained the upper hand, Tang Ying's consciousness vanished completely, and Si Yuyan's soul and appearance also changed; her left eye turned a pale blue.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun was not surprised; the pale blue in her left eye was indeed because she had fused with Tang Ying, who possessed the Ice Spirit Root.

Back in B Spacetime, when Jiang Xun first showed Si Yuyan the portrait of Jun Tianling, Si Yuyan suddenly acted like a different person, shouting that she wanted to kill her, kill her; that personality must have been Tang Ying's personality emerging after seeing Jun Tianling.

And it was a Tang Ying who had retained her memories from A Spacetime.

This explained everything; the Si Yuyan of A Spacetime had never wanted to kill Jun Tianling, while the Si Yuyan of B Spacetime was the exact opposite.

————

After a great battle lasting three days and three nights, the number of Demonic Beasts in the Northern Wasteland was not high, and led by the remaining Hyena Demon King, they fled toward Beimo.

At this moment, except for Jun Tianling, everyone else's Spirit Power was nearly exhausted, and the vast majority could not muster even a shred of Spirit Power.

"Shall we pursue?" Looking at the main force that had stopped in the rear, Jiang Xun said.

"If we don't wipe them out, are we waiting for them to make a comeback?" Jun Tianling nodded; since Jiang Xun could provide her with infinite Spirit Power, then just kill them all!

"If you want to kill, we charge." Jiang Xun nodded, took over Jun Tianling's body, and swallowed a Soul Returning Pill.

This time he finally saw clearly and couldn't help but shout: "You've been eating Soul Returning Pills the whole time!"

"Indeed," Jiang Xun nodded and said, "this is what I rely on to make my way in the world."

"In these three days, you must have eaten at least a hundred, right? Where did you get so many Soul Returning Pills? Besides, this is too wasteful; if you had told me earlier that you were eating Soul Returning Pills, I wouldn't have used my Spirit Power like that."

"If I didn't use my Spirit Power like that, could we have killed these Demonic Beasts so quickly? Hurry and pursue."

Jiang Xun laughed.
