Chapter 336: A Fierce Battle Against the Monks of Xuanguang Cave
"What do you mean by that, young friend?"
Zhang Mingxuan looked at the flowing light, glancing first at the golden body of the Dharma image and then at the young man before him.
The young man's face was extremely unfamiliar, and he had no impression of him at all.
Where had this young Transcendent Realm cultivator come from?
"Alright, there's nothing more to discuss. Let's go."
Liu Jingyuan's face turned solemn as he regarded the youth. While the youth himself wasn't a concern, the Transcendent Golden Body behind him was a different matter—a formidable opponent of the same realm.
Moreover, it looked somewhat peculiar, and he couldn't discern what level of Golden Body technique it was.
If they engaged in a protracted battle, there was also the matter of the Red Heart Snake Emperor to consider.
He had only stopped to help out of a whim and a good mood, but now that the problem seemed to be shifting onto his shoulders, it was unnecessary to get further entangled.
"Senior Zhang, Senior Liu, wait!" Feng Huasheng finally realized the gravity of his situation and cried out in a panic, "Take me with you!"
However, before he could finish his plea, a dark red figure plummeted from the clouds. By the time it landed, Feng Huasheng's figure had disappeared from its original spot.
A giant python with the stature of a dragon caused the ground to tremble.
In an instant, a formidable demonic aura swept through the area.
Tasting the familiar flavor in its mouth, the massive serpent's eyes suddenly filled with venomous hatred.
In the blink of an eye, the entire python transformed into a red-robed beauty. She lifted her gaze to the golden body of the Dharma image and spoke in a low, husky voice, "I'll give you one chance. Hand her over."
The dark golden figure of the Dharma image remained still, quietly holding Jiang Qiuluan in the palm of its hand as if it hadn't heard the Snake Emperor's words.
"Annoying."
Liu Jingyuan's face darkened as he said bluntly, "Fellow Daoist, this is all a misunderstanding. With the demon before us, we cultivators should join forces to fend off the enemy. Besides, that boy is already dead, so you can calm your anger now."
"Your face changes faster than flipping a book."
Yu Chaoyan scoffed, intending to descend, but Tong Xinquan held him back, "There's something off about that person."
Indeed, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Shen Yi finally turned to look behind him, his voice indifferent, "Keep an eye on it for now."
Upon seeing his handsome face and familiar expression, Jiang Qiuluan bit her lip hard, and her tense body finally relaxed a little.
A faint smile curved her lips, and the sharp aura surrounding her seemed to vanish in an instant.
Like a sheathed sword.
As expected, it was him.
He always appeared so mysteriously, and as always, his presence brought a sense of peace.
Jiang Qiuluan didn't notice that after hearing those words, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the golden body of the Dharma image: "..."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Mingxuan slowly clasped his hands behind his back, his fingers forming a secret sign.
It was clear that the Snake Emperor wanted the woman.
Did this young man intend to fight both him and the Dharma image, as well as the Snake Emperor? If he wasn't mistaken, the young man was in the early Transcendent Realm, not the late Transcendent Realm.
"Is this guy the reincarnation of a wine jar? He sure can hold his liquor..."
Yu Chaoyan had just finished his sarcastic comment when he abruptly stopped speaking.
The billowing black robe vanished from its original spot.
Although Zhang Mingxuan hadn't expected the young man to dare to make a move, he was somewhat prepared. The secret sign that he had been holding in his fingers was instantly released.
Three Saints Mountain Moving Technique!
In an instant, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth erupted in a riot, covering an area of several hundred li.
Such a vast amount of spiritual energy transformed into three six-foot-tall Warriors. The toughness of their golden-hued bodies spoke volumes about their strength.
This technique was perfect for testing the waters.
With just a glance, one could discern the other party's true colors.
Zhang Mingxuan narrowed his eyes, taking in the scene.
But the next moment, he realized he couldn't see anything at all.
The three Warriors had grabbed onto Shen Yi's arms and waist, but as the young man slightly raised his hand, the golden-hued bodies of the Warriors instantly disintegrated.
Immediately after, that palm landed on Zhang Mingxuan's head.
The ink-black robe fluttered as an elbow strike landed squarely on Zhang Mingxuan's chest.
Zhang Mingxuan's headless body was blown away, torn to shreds by the overwhelming force, and his spiritual energy dispersed back into the heavens and earth.
He had countless techniques that he hadn't even used yet, and his storage bag at his waist still contained numerous treasures.
Yet, at this moment, the storage bag could only fall powerlessly, enveloped by the spiritual energy that filled the sky.
That ink-black figure.
It was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into everyone's eyes.
Even the Red Heart Snake Emperor, who had been rushing towards the Golden Body Dharma image, subconsciously halted.
"What the hell was that?!"
Yu Chao'an inhaled sharply. It wasn't that he couldn't have dealt with Zhang Mingxuan so simply and neatly, but the difference in their cultivation and techniques was clear.
If the other party wasn't careful... there was no way Zhang Mingxuan could be careless in front of him, Yu Chao'an.
"I told you there was something strange about him."
Tong Xinquan slowly clenched his palm, grateful that he had seen through Zhang Mingxuan in advance.
Otherwise, even he might have been caught off guard, seeing an early Transcendental Realm cultivator.
"You..."
Liu Jingyuan struggled to suppress the fear in his heart, instinctively wanting to extricate himself from this situation.
But in the blink of an eye, the young man had grabbed him by the neck with lightning speed, lifting him up with force.
The young man's well-defined fingers easily sank into Liu Jingyuan's flesh.
Just as Liu Jingyuan focused all his attention on Shen Yi's palm, a faint light shot out from below and penetrated straight through him, exiting from the top of his head with a pchi sound.
Then, it quietly retracted back into Shen Yi's storage bag.
This penetrating wound was extremely painful for Liu Jingyuan, but it didn't actually threaten his life.
However, soon, his eyeballs bulged out.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his mouth was filled with the black light that surged out from his throat.
Boom—
In Shen Yi's hand, Liu Jingyuan's entire body exploded.
It was only at this moment that Shen Yi casually took the storage bag and finally turned to look at the Red Heart Snake Emperor.
"Yu Wei..."
The red-skirted beauty was stunned, her eyes fixed on Shen Yi.
Instinctively, she took two steps back.
However, the Golden Body Dharma image, which had been avoiding her, now held Jiang Qiuluan in one hand and quietly landed behind her.
With the enhancement of the dark golden feathered cloak, its movements had reached a speed that even a Demon Emperor couldn't capture.
Seeing this, the red-skirted beauty no longer dared to be arrogant.
She immediately reverted to her original form.
A hundred-zhang-long python, its body covered in dark red scales, exuded a terrifying aura. It was indeed a fierce and vicious giant demon.
It rushed back towards its old nest.
But it was kicked back by the Golden Body Dharma image.
The dark golden foot landed on its skull, and its massive body flipped back, its snake head frantically shaking.
In its venomous eyes was a reflection of a figure that struck fear into its heart.
The ink-black-robed youth from before now looked down at it from above.
He casually waved his hand, and the faint light appeared again, landing in his palm and transforming into a pitch-black, ferocious long spear.
"..."
Jiang Qiuluan's eyes widened as she watched the youth plummet like a meteor towards the giant python!
Violet-golden flames engulfed the sky.
Holding the spear in one hand, Shen Yi stepped onto the snake's head and forcefully pressed its raised head down.
The spear tip, wrapped in flame, pierced into the python's brain.
There was no holding back.
Shen Yi used his most powerful move.
The fire engulfed the red snake, and it let out a long, mournful cry as its body writhed in madness.
Compared to its massive body,
The youth looked minuscule, yet he stood quietly atop its head.
Like an immovable mountain.
