With Xiao Gaoyuan’s death, the ownership brand on the sacrificial bronze coin also faded away.
Lu Xuan circulated the Gang Yuan within his body and rapidly poured it into the sacrificial bronze coin.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: External Gang Master (Great Accomplishment)
Techniques: Heaven-Scorching Blade Art 1/9, Flowing Light Step 1/9 (Deducible), Adamant Vajra 8/9 (Deducible)
Points: 2169
Please confirm, host, whether to consume 400 points to deduce the Flowing Light Step!
Please confirm, host, whether to consume 2000 points to deduce the Adamant Vajra!
Primordial Source of Heaven and Earth detected. Extract?
After seeing that line at the bottom of the system interface, Lu Xuan promptly put the bronze coin away.
The three medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual items and fifteen low-grade ones from last night had netted Lu Xuan a total of 2100 system points.
However, after acquiring the points, Lu Xuan didn’t immediately start the deduction for Adamant Vajra.
As the level of Adamant Vajra increased, the time required for deduction had also grown longer.
Lu Xuan was worried that if he started deducing Adamant Vajra right then, the Xiao family might already be annihilated.
So, in the dead of night, Lu Xuan had already made his way towards the Xiao family estate.
Furthermore, he had suppressed his aura completely, hiding in a corner of the Xiao residence to secretly observe.
From the moment those three yamen runners appeared at the Xiao residence, Lu Xuan had already sensed the Yin aura on them.
Lu Xuan put away the sacrificial bronze coin and then locked his perception onto Zhang Yingxue.
After Zhang Yingxue killed Xiao Gaoyuan, strands of reddish-black Yin aura swirled around her.
“The resentment has lessened, and the Yin aura is starting to become purer.”
“Is she breaking through towards becoming a Heavenly Anomaly?”
Lu Xuan was intimately familiar with the changes in Zhang Yingxue’s Yin aura.
“Could it be because Zhang Yingxue has resolved the obsession in her heart?”
If that was the case, it would explain the strange situation with Zhang Yingxue.
Because Zhang Yingxue had killed every single member of the Xiao family.
Of course, some of the Xiao family servants managed to survive Zhang Yingxue’s rampage, thanks to Xiao Gaoyuan’s escape drawing her attention.
With the Xiao family gone, Zhang Yingxue turned her eerie gaze towards Lu Xuan.
“Die!”
In the next instant, a residual red flash shot straight towards Lu Xuan’s position.
Such powerful Yin aura!
Lu Xuan took a deep look at that red flash, then his body dissolved into specks of purple light, dodging Zhang Yingxue’s attack.
But the moment he stopped, Zhang Yingxue’s gaze locked onto him again.
Instantly, the entire Xiao residence was filled with an astonishingly cold Yin aura.
High above the Xiao residence, Zhang Yingxue’s terrifying, contorted face rapidly enlarged hundreds of times, collapsing downwards like it was blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
It seemed as if it would devour Lu Xuan and the entire Xiao family whole!
For a moment, the entire Xiao residence was filled with a dense, icy aura, with reddish-black Yin permeating every corner.
Clang!
A faint sound of a blade humming echoed!
Amidst the Xiao residence filled with this reddish-black Yin aura, a dazzling, mysterious purple flame light appeared, as majestic and sacred as a descending god.
The moment the purple flame appeared, the reddish-black Yin aura that covered the entire Xiao residence began to rapidly melt and thin out, replaced by a wave of warmth that felt like bathing in the morning sun!
“Heaven-Scorching Blade Art!”
In the next second, a purple flame column spanning dozens of feet shot towards the sky like a giant dragon soaring through the heavens!
Zhang Yingxue’s sky-obscuring, distorted face was shattered by the purple dragon radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.
Immediately after, a sacred dragon’s roar, resounding through the clouds, echoed from the sky.
The sky above the Xiao residence seemed to be ignited by the purple flames.
The purple flames danced wildly, causing the boundless clouds to reflect an intense purple light.
Facing this blade art that could even scorch the heavens, Zhang Yingxue, being the first to bear the brunt, naturally turned to nothing in an instant before this terrifyingly hot blade art!
Hmm, without a trace of pain.
This was also the last bit of tenderness Lu Xuan could offer this pitiful soul.
To let her die without any suffering.
Lu Xuan knew this was just a false comfort because this Zhang Yingxue would revive later.
However, what Lu Xuan didn’t expect was that just a few years later, this Zhang Yingxue would indeed revive.
And she would become a terrifying E-class anomaly occupying the Xiao residence, completely turning this place into a forbidden area within Jingtai Prefecture City.
“The consumption of this Heaven-Scorching Blade Art is truly terrifying!”
Lu Xuan was astonished by the sheer amount of Gang Yuan depleted from his body.
This was the first time Lu Xuan had used his full strength: a full-powered strike from an External Gang Master at the Great Accomplishment level, combined with the power of the Heaven-Scorching Blade Art.
Lu Xuan estimated that this strike probably far exceeded that of an ordinary External Gang Master at the Great Accomplishment level.
In fact, Lu Xuan was confident that even a Perfected External Gang Master couldn’t withstand the blow he had just delivered.
The power of Heaven and Earth!
Yes, ever since Lu Xuan had deduced the Crimson Flame Blade Art into the Heaven-Scorching Blade Art,
he had sensed its terror.
The Heaven-Scorching Blade Art contained a mysterious and powerful force.
This unfathomable power was just like the power used by the Nether Serpent in Jinlin River back then.
It gave Lu Xuan the feeling of an insignificant human facing the infinite might of the vast heavens and earth.
“It looks like the commotion was still too big.”
Lu Xuan had already sensed the presence of many people outside the Xiao residence.
They were mostly at the Blood Refining realm, plus two at the Inner Qi realm.
Clearly, most of the people who had arrived outside the Xiao residence were from the Vermilion Bird Guard.
Even that guy Old Mo had come to the gates.
But, this was only natural.
Such a huge disturbance from the Xiao residence – it wasn’t just the Vermilion Bird Guard who noticed it; even the prefectural office staff had discovered it.
The entire sky had been ignited by the mysterious and profound purple flames.
Anyone seeing this astonishing sight would think the sky was falling.
Next, Lu Xuan immediately checked the system panel and found that the points had changed.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: External Gang Master (Great Accomplishment)
Techniques: Heaven-Scorching Blade Art 1/9, Flowing Light Step 1/9 (Deducible), Adamant Vajra 8/9 (Deducible)
Points: 4669
Please confirm, host, whether to consume 400 points to deduce the Flowing Light Step!
Please confirm, host, whether to consume 2000 points to deduce the Adamant Vajra!
An increase of 2500 system points. This Zhang Yingxue was indeed more powerful than that E-class anomaly in Qingyun County.
It seemed that besides E-class anomalies sealed by sacrificial artifacts, there were also some born from human resentment.
It appeared that, just as Old Mo had said, the world was gradually falling into chaos.
The patterns that once applied only to E-class anomalies in the Central Region no longer held true.
With Xiao Gaoyuan’s death, the ownership brand on the sacrificial bronze coin also faded away.
