Countless arrows suddenly appeared out of thin air, flying straight towards Zang Xu. Zang Xu dodged the arrows and rushed towards their source, but he caught nothing. However, Zang Xu knew the person was nearby, waiting to strike, ready to attack him at any moment!
"Xiao Qin, do you really think a child can break this barrier?" Zang Xu asked calmly. "You know, it took the combined efforts of seven Golden Core realm masters to open this secret realm when you entered. You won't be able to leave."
"Do you think by stalling for time, the people from the Seven Sects will come to your rescue?" Zang Xu sneered repeatedly. "Don't dream. Wuji City is probably already under the control of the Five Poisons Sect. The people of the Seven Sects have long been annihilated. No one will come to save you, and no one can save you."
"Xiao Qin, surrender now, and I will spare your life."
Zang Xu's gaze constantly scanned his surroundings. The slightest disturbance would allow him to capture Xiao Man. This time, he decided to capture the person and kill them immediately, giving Xiao Man no chance to breathe.
Xiao Man knew she was no match for Zang Xu. To kill Zang Xu, she had to take an unconventional path, using the power of formations and the true treasures of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect. Eliminating this person should not be a problem.
However, Xiao Man was also a cautious person, especially when facing someone far superior in rank to her. She would never act rashly. Therefore, she waited for the best opportunity to completely eliminate this person!
A glint flashed in Zang Xu's eyes. He understood that Xiao Man was waiting for him to show a flaw. As long as he didn't show a flaw, Xiao Man wouldn't attack rashly. Since that was the case, he would give her that flaw!
Zang Xu deliberately exposed a weakness, luring Xiao Man into a trap.
In his opinion, Xiao Man was merely a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage, her rank far too different from his. Even if she was skilled in poison, it would only slow him down and disrupt the flow of spiritual energy in his body. It wouldn't be enough to take his life. Even if he exposed a flaw, Xiao Man couldn't kill him.
However, what he didn't expect was that he, a dignified peak Golden Core expert, would fall at the hands of such an insignificant junior!
"How is this possible?" Zang Xu couldn't believe it. Xiao Man shouldn't be able to break his defenses, yet she not only broke them but also pierced his Golden Core!
"In this world, anything is possible!" Xiao Man's eyes were filled with coldness. "You treated human lives like dirt, killing others indiscriminately, and deceiving the rogue cultivators of Wuji City to become sacrifices for the Seven Sects. You are truly wicked. Your fate today is well-deserved!"
Zang Xu was unwilling, deeply unwilling. He had cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core realm, and was on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was stopped at the peak of the Golden Core stage. The one who blocked his progress was such an insignificant scoundrel!
Zang Xu reached out and grabbed Xiao Man's neck, intending to snap her slender neck. However, all his strength had vanished the moment his Golden Core was pierced. Even though he desperately wanted to kill Xiao Man, he had no strength left.
"Xiao Qin, even if I become a vengeful spirit, I will not spare you!"
"I'm not afraid of people, why would I be afraid of ghosts?" Xiao Man took Zang Xu's storage ring and retrieved her dagger. "Don't arbitrarily snatch other people's belongings. Also, I hate it the most when people steal my things."
Zang Xu died with his eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness. His body fell straight to the ground, as if he couldn't comprehend how he had met such an end, even in death.
To prevent the same incident with Luo Ke from happening again, Xiao Man immediately set fire to Zang Xu's physical body, destroying it to prevent him from reanimating.
Xiao Man emerged from the formation, and Jun Fei'er immediately rushed forward, grabbing her and carefully examining her. Only when she confirmed Xiao Man was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. Where is Zang Xu?"
"Dead." As soon as Xiao Man finished speaking, she immediately looked back at the formation behind her, her brows furrowed. Something was wrong. Zang Xu's body should have turned to ashes by now, so why did she sense a living presence within the formation?
"Xiao Qin, what's wrong?"
"It's strange. There's still a presence inside the formation."
"Zang Xu isn't dead?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I even burned his body to ashes. Unless he can rise from the dead, there's no possibility of him being alive!"
"Xiao Qin, don't you remember Luo Ke? You clearly killed him back then, yet he still got up and turned into a half-demon, extremely terrifying," Bai Chen reminded Xiao Man. For demons, they couldn't be judged by common sense, because they were impossible to kill, which was why the righteous path cultivators greatly feared them.
"I thought the demon race was already extinct. I didn't expect there to still be demons in this world," Fang He exclaimed. So many secrets were hidden in the small Wuji City, it was truly unbelievable.
Xiao Man took a step forward, staring intently into the formation. A whirlwind was swirling within the formation, and at the center of the whirlwind, something was emitting a powerful aura that made her feel uneasy. Su Dan Novel Network
"Good heavens!" Old Qin shrieked in terror. "Quick, quick, hurry that little brat! This demon is breaking through the Golden Core realm. If we don't get out now, we'll all die here!"
Xiao Man's expression changed drastically, and she retreated repeatedly. "Xiao Qi, are you ready?"
"Daddy, lend me a hand." Ze Fang looked at Xiao Man. It was just a little bit more, and with Xiao Man's help, they could break the barrier and leave here!
Xiao Man immediately rushed to Ze Fang's side. Under Ze Fang's guidance, she channeled spiritual energy into the formation, her eyes constantly glancing towards the formation not far away, praying that Zang Xu wouldn't break through the barrier so quickly.
"Xiao Qin, you little brat, come out and die!"
The voice was deafening. Xiao Man felt a buzzing in her head, and everyone else was bleeding from their orifices from the sound.
"Done!"
At the critical moment, the barrier opened, and everyone vanished into the barrier.
Outside the City Lord's mansion, Rebirth and the grey-clothed man were locked in a fierce battle. At this moment, a familiar figure descended from the sky, forcing the two combatants to separate. Xiao Man, holding Ze Fang, landed safely on the ground. The others were not so fortunate and fell directly to the ground.
"Yan'er!" The City Lord saw Yan Yan, who had fallen to the ground, and quickly helped his beloved daughter.
Shan Yun and Poison Lady helped each other up.
"Withdraw to the Roland Mountain Range!" Xiao Man decided without hesitation, tossing Ze Fang to Rebirth. "Take him and quickly head towards the Roland Mountain Range."
Rebirth didn't hesitate, holding Ze Fang and quickly heading towards the Roland Mountain Range. Shan Yun and Poison Lady followed closely behind. Even Qi Hong scrambled to keep up. With the demon of the Five Poisons Sect entering the Nascent Soul realm, no one in the vast Wuji City was their match. However, it was different once they entered the Roland Mountain Range. The Roland Mountain Range was home to many ferocious demonic beasts, and even a Nascent Soul realm expert could not walk freely within it!
