Chapter 838: Don't Provoke Taiqing Disciples in Your Next Life

Within the red fog, Gan Qing, Lin Wanqing, and the saint's avatars all knew that they couldn't afford to stop moving. If they halted for even a moment, they'd be killed. Even so, it was torture to be hunted by a group of Deific Yin cultivators.

Despite their powerful secret techniques and relics, they couldn't keep up with the overwhelming number of enemies. Dozens of Deific Yin cultivators were pursuing each of them. Though they managed to hold out for a time, they became increasingly injured. They were covered in blood and battered beyond recognition.

Xiao Nanfeng, who had possessed the Immortal Emperor of Dahan, was also drenched in blood. Even so, his body seemed to be absorbing the surrounding red fog strangely.

"Send more people to deal with Xiao Nanfeng! He's using some sort of treasure to absorb the red fog, and it's affecting the Taiqing Heart Lantern. Quickly!" Lu Yan ordered.

"Die!"

Instantly, over a hundred Deific Yin cultivators surrounded the Immortal Emperor of Dahan, temporarily giving Gan Qing and the others some breathing room. The Immortal Emperor's body deteriorated rapidly under the onslaught of attacks. Bones and limbs shattered; it was reaching its limit.

The Immortal Emperor of Dahan forced his enemies back with a desperate final surge, only to cripple the body completely.

"Serves you right, Xiao Nanfeng! The Immortal Emperor of Dahan's body is ruined now, isn't it? Let's see how you intend to continue resisting them!" the saint's avatar cried out.

Just then, a golden dragon burst from the Immortal Emperor of Dahan's body. The Immortal Emperor's body fell to the ground limply; Xiao Nanfeng quickly reached out and stored it away as his yin body entered the golden dragon's mindscape.

With a deafening roar, the dragon surged forward with overwhelming force. Two Deific Yin cultivators were sent flying from the impact.

"It's Ao Canghai! No—just Ao Canghai's physical body. Xiao Nanfeng must have possessed it!" the saint's avatar cried out.

In the distance, Ao Canghai bellowed, "Saint Lun Hui, I refuse to cooperate with you. You're useless!"

The golden dragon knocked another Deific Yin cultivator aside and flew away.

The saint's avatar: ...

No wonder Xiao Nanfeng was indifferent to their plight. He didn't care about taking any damage to his physical body at all, since he could replace them at will.

The fighting continued as the saint's avatars, Gan Qing, and Lin Wangqing grew increasingly injured. However, they gradually began to notice something strange: the power of the Deific Yin cultivators seemed to be waning.

"They're weakening, aren't they?" Gan Qing murmured weakly.

"Is this Xiao Nanfeng's doing?" one of the saint's avatars exclaimed.

They turned to see that the golden dragon, now in Ao Canghai's form, was unleashing a flurry of Hegemon's Fists.

The powerful punches knocked back several Deific Yin cultivators. Ao Canghai was no longer fleeing; rather, with his Hegemon's Fist, he was easily repelling the waves of attackers.

"This can't be. How could he have grown so much stronger?" a Taiqing guardian shouted.

"He's not growing stronger. We're growing weaker," another Taiqing guardian exclaimed.

They glanced up at the air, only to see that their red moons were shrinking in size bit by bit.

"What's happening, Lu Yan?" a Taiqing guardian exclaimed.

Lu Yan's eyes twitched. "I don't know, but it seems like the Taiqing Heart Lantern is losing power."

"What's going on?"

"I think Xiao Nanfeng's responsible. He's been absorbing the red fog and is somehow disrupting the Taiqing Heart Lantern's power!" Lu Yan called out.

Everyone turned toward Xiao Nanfeng. Indeed, the red fog was swirling around Ao Canghai's body. He had been absorbing it steadily during the fighting, and no one realized just how much he had absorbed.

The once-dense fog was starting to thin to a very noticeable extent.

"The Taiqing Heart Lantern is continuing to grow weaker! Kill Xiao Nanfeng, now!"

"I can't either. This white light is blocking our connection!"

"We have to deal with it, or we're all finished!"

The Taiqing guardians began to panic as they tried to disperse the white light, but it was too late. Xiao Nanfeng was already before them. His blade cleaved through their ranks without mercy.

"No! Let us go!" the Taiqing guardians screamed in terror, but Xiao Nanfeng showed them no mercy.Before long, they had been slaughtered to the last.

His spiritual moon had claimed almost all the fallen red moons. Thereafter, it turned its attention to the severely wounded superior yin pearls.

The nearly three hundred superior yin pearls had been crippled by the Taiqing guardians, and were no match for Xiao Nanfeng's spiritual moon now. It absorbed them all in one gulp.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nanfeng shot toward the final Taiqing guardian, Lu Yan. "It's your turn now, Lu Yan."

"The Taiqing Heart Lantern is the Taiqing Grandmaster's greatest treasure! How could you have nullified it so completely? That's impossible!" Lu Yan cried out.

Their surroundings had become a realm of ice and snow once more. The red fog had been completely absorbed by Xiao Nanfeng, and even the small flame atop the Taiqing Heart Lantern was fading.

Then, with a small pop, even that flame was snuffed out.

"No!" Lu Yan screamed in despair.

No matter how hard he tried to manipulate the Taiqing Heart Lantern, it had no effect.

Xiao Nanfeng said coldly, "Lu Yan, I'm sure I don't have to go over our old grudges with each other. In your next life, remember not to provoke a Taiqing disciple."

With a single stroke, he cut Lu Yan in two.

The extinguished Taiqing Heart Lantern fell into Xiao Nanfeng's hands.

He turned to the badly wounded Gan Qing and the others. "Now, it's your turn."

The four Boundless Immortals blanched. They were in grave danger.

"Let's cooperate and take down Xiao Nanfeng together!" one of the saint's avatars called out.

"Very well," Gan Qing replied.

"Charge! We'll take him down with us!" the saint's other avatar shouted.

"Attack!" Gan Qing shouted.

The saint's two avatars charged at Xiao Nanfeng—while Gan Qing and Lin Wanqing turned to flee.

The saint's avatars gaped in rage. He thundered, "Why are you running? Didn't we agree to cooperate?"

By then, however, Xiao Nanfeng had closed in on the saint's avatars. He sneered. "You're both avatars, but they're here with their main bodies. Do you really think they would stay to die at my hand?"

Then, he swung the divine undying blade at one of the saint's avatars, easily piercing through his qi barrier. The attack seemed like it would kill the saint's avatar instantly.

Sensing that he was done for, the saint's avatar shouted, "Explode!"

He self-destructed in an explosion of flames that sent Xiao Nanfeng flying, while his soul fragment disappeared in a pillar of green light.

Xiao Nanfeng stabilized himself and confirmed that Ao Canghai's body, which he was possessing, hadn't been seriously injured. With killing intent glinting in his eyes, he said, "Come at me!"

The final saint's avatar turned to flee, rushing straight toward Gan Qing and Lin Wanqing. "How dare you two betray me! If I die, I'll bring you both down with me!"

Xiao Nanfeng laughed coldly as he chased after the three Boundless Immortals.
