After uttering those words, the Tianyin Sect Master seemed a bit off. A mere Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator had actually crushed him in terms of imposing pressure, which was a huge disgrace!
Especially since he had just attempted to use Spiritual Power to resist this pressure, but it had not had any effect at all...
Xu Sheng, upon hearing his shocked tone, replied indifferently, "What? You don't like my return gift?"
Trying to resist Divine Power with Spiritual Power was like a fool's dream!
The Tianyin Sect Master coldly said, "Hmph! You only know these petty tricks. Even if your aura is strong, I refuse to believe your strength is as terrifying!"
Once a fight commenced, he was certain he could discern his true strength. He absolutely did not believe that the other's power could span two realms!
With that thought, he silently invoked, "Immortal-level Superior Martial Technique! Thunderclap Step!"
Barely visible, the moment he had executed this martial technique, his entire being became exceedingly ephemeral, particularly the lower half of his body which was tinged with streaks of electricity...
In the next moment, as the Tianyin Sect Master focused his mind, he immediately emitted a "sizzling" noise and, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, lunged towards Xu Sheng...
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng calmly concentrated Divine Power in his dark eyes, and in an instant, everything in front of him seemed to slow down by tens of times...
The Tianyin Sect Master, now close to Xu Sheng, saw that he hadn't executed any martial technique and inwardly sneered, "Hmph! Not even using a martial technique, courting death!!"
And with that, his fist, laden with immense strength, hammered straight towards Xu Sheng's head...
Had a regular Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator been hit, they would either die or be crippled!
But to Xu Sheng, this attack, slowed down by tens of times, was slower than a snail!
He reached out his hand and effortlessly caught the Tianyin Sect Master's fist...
The latter was greatly shocked, "What??"
Before he could ponder further, Xu Sheng mercilessly drove his elbow into the Tianyin Sect Master's chest...
With a loud "bang," the Tianyin Sect Master felt an intense pain surge through him, and he was instantly sent flying backward, staggering over ten meters before barely steadying himself...
The Cloud Devouring Beast, watching everything from the side, smacked its lips and said, "The strength of this guy, it even suppresses the power of the Emperor Realm? Does that mean that Xu Sheng truly has the potential to slay this Emperor Realm fellow?"
No, it's not just a possibility, but a very likely one!
The Tianyin Sect Master, having steadied himself, took a brief glance at the wound on his chest, his face ashen as he addressed Xu Sheng, "You brat! You're simply a monster!"
No wonder this lad had been giving him a terrible sense of crisis ever since he arrived in Central State...
It turned out that his reliance was not his cultivation level, but that bizarre strength!
From that simple test just now, it was clear that the other party's strength was no less than his own!
Facing the former's rebuke, Xu Sheng just smiled slightly, "Thanks for the compliment, however, you are much weaker than I imagined!"
The Tianyin Sect Master clenched his fist, "All you have is glib talk! We'll see if you'll still be able to laugh soon!"
...
On the other hand, Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian were being extremely passive under the successive assaults of four Demon Cultivators, and if this continued, the situation did not bode well!
Duanmu Lian spoke with a grave expression, "Damn it! These guys cooperate seamlessly, leaving no opportunity for counterattack."
Zhou Qingruo, on the other hand, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and kept her gaze firmly on the four Demon Cultivators in front of her...
If these demon cultivators were to engage in one-on-one combat, they wouldn't stand a chance against them. However, there was no choice—if the four opponents joined forces, then the outcome was uncertain!
Upon seeing the appearance of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, the demon cultivators mocked and jeered, "Ha! Without that man and the monster beast causing trouble, the two of you could never be our match!"
"Surrender! Maybe then we can lavish some affection on you and not have fought in vain for so long!"
"I know what you're thinking. That man and the monster beast have surely been killed by our Sect Master by now! A being of the Emperor Realm isn't something he can covet!"
"That's right, that's right. After we've enjoyed ourselves, we'll surely give you a swift end. Of course, becoming our slaves is also an option, hahaha!!"
Hearing these words, Duanmu Lian's expression turned icy, and she turned to Zhou Qingruo, "Qingruo!"
Zhou Qingruo nodded slightly, "Mhm! I understand!"
With that said, they immediately released their spiritual power and tried to activate the bloodline inside their bodies…
Suddenly, "Buzzing~", the bloodline within both of them was released, and the terrifying power they emitted caused drastic tremors in the surrounding space...
The countenance of the demon cultivators facing them drastically changed after sensing the transformation of the two women…
One of the demon cultivators exclaimed in shock, "What... what is this?? Why has their aura surged so much?"
Another clenched their teeth in frustration, "Damn it! We must not let them complete their technique, otherwise,"
"What are we waiting for, then? Let's hurry up and kill them while we have the chance!"
As the words fell, these demon cultivators charged straight toward Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, intending to kill them while they were still releasing their bloodline!
Zhou Qingruo's amber beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with an icy chill, and she coldly said, "Sorry, it's too late!"
With that, the personal sword in her hand slowly frosted over with hoarfrost, so cold that it made one's spirit shiver…
And Duanmu Lian began to slowly gather pale red seals, and from within her it was faintly possible to sense a terrifying force!
The next second, the two of them faced the oncoming demon cultivators head-on...
"Hmph! Although we don't know what happened to you two, don't think you can so easily defeat us! Die!"
Zhou Qingruo, hearing these words, showed no change in expression. She immediately gripped her personal sword and, with an illusory gesture, instantly cut off the arm of one of the demon cultivators...
"Puchi!" The arm flew into the air, and the blood that flowed out was instantly frozen...
The demon cultivator whose arm was severed didn't even experience the pain, but upon seeing his left arm gone and empty, he exclaimed, "How... how is this possible? I clearly dodged it!"
Before the words could even be finished, a sword edge glowing with cold light struck again…
He immediately lowered his head to see the personal sword passing just above it, a look of relief appearing in his heart...
But the next second, he was horrified to see a headless body appear before him...
Upon closer examination, he realized the headless body was his own!!!
This eerie scene made the remaining demon cultivators take several steps back, their eyes filled with wariness as they stared at Zhou Qingruo ahead…
He clearly dodged; why was he still beheaded??
