In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

However, the centipede was in a bad situation at this moment, as countless flying swords were chasing after it.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

The flying sword was naturally faster than the giant centipede.

However, the centipede's many legs were not just for show. When the flying sword caught up with the last one, it was blocked by the centipede's dazzling legs.

But there were too many flying swords behind them, densely packed, seemingly endless.

One wrong move, and you'll be torn to pieces by these flying swords.

This is why the centipede spirit still attacked Zhang Xiaoshan, even though it knew he had the Southern Bright Fire and the Dragon-Slaying Sword by his side.

Zhang Xiaoshan had already locked onto it; there was no escape, and it had no choice but to fight to the death.

Looking at the centipede demon preparing to fight to the death, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but sneer.

A desperate gamble?

This centipede demon wanted to transform into a dragon, but the sword in his hand was a dragon-slaying sword, which to some extent restrained the dragon's body.

Moreover, it was a centipede body that had not yet transformed into a dragon.

Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword!

A majestic and powerful sword aura shot into the sky, its sword light tearing through the void and containing a destructive sword intent that could pierce through the ages and sweep across all directions.

In the centipede demon's eyes, that was a fatal blow.

This sword strike was enough to annihilate its primordial spirit and obliterate all life.

puff!

A sword flashed across the sky, a silver light appeared.

In an instant, the seemingly slow but terrifying sword light pierced from the centipede demon's head to its tail.

The terrifying and domineering sword energy tore through the heavens and earth, splitting the entire valley in two, leaving behind a canyon that stretched for thousands of feet and was hundreds of feet deep.

Ancient divine weapon, terrifying beyond measure.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword possesses an extremely malevolent aura, even though Zhang Xiaoshan can control this ancient divine weapon.

However, the sword energy is too domineering and does not reach the level of 'subtle insight', so it is not suitable for riding a sword and is far less convenient than the Seven Star Yao Guang Sword.

However, in terms of power, it is much stronger than the Baiyi Sword and Shuanghua Sword, and is an ancient divine weapon of the same level as the Zhenyao Sword.

After being strengthened by merit, the sword energy increased by more than 50%, and its power more than doubled.

Wow!

The centipede demon's enormous body, hundreds of feet long, split in two in mid-air, scattering blood across the sky.

Zhang Xiaoshan swiftly caught one of the centipede beads, which was the size of a basketball, and another of the Buddhist beads that shimmered with golden Buddhist light, and put them into his palm.

The inner core, which embodies the cultivation of the centipede spirit over thousands of years, is more than enough to refine a seventh-grade elixir.

As for relics?

This should be the key to the centipede demon transforming into a compassionate being who can save all beings.

At the same time, the countless flying swords that were originally coming towards Zhang Xiaoshan slowly merged before his eyes, eventually becoming a top-tier flying sword that landed in Princess Liyang's hand.

"Compassionate salvation? It seems to be fate."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the enormous demonic body falling from mid-air, a hint of surprise appearing deep in his starry eyes.

890 He knew beforehand that a powerful demon had burrowed underground, waiting for its chance to strike, but he didn't know what kind of demon it was.

By the time he saw the centipede demon's true form, it was already a life-or-death struggle, and he had no time to think about the centipede demon's origins.

Looking at the centipede demon's enormous body and the Arhat's relic in its hand, combined with his previous encounters with 'Fu Qingfeng' and 'Fu Qingyun', Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood the centipede demon's origins.

Both of the main villains in A Chinese Ghost Story died at his hands.

"Compassionate Salvation? Is that the name of this demon?"

"Indeed, demons who have cultivated for thousands of years are renowned throughout the demon world."

The demon mentioned earlier, known as the Black Mountain Demon, reigned supreme in the City of the Dead in the Underworld, a true tyrant of the demon realm; while this centipede demon could transform into the Great Sun Tathagata through this relic, having cultivated for thousands of years; as for the one who escaped earlier, he was the Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect of the Demonic Path, whose own strength was not particularly great, but his extremely sinister methods were what made righteous cultivators most fearful.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the centipede demon that had landed. Because of its enormous size, Zhang Xiaoshan took only some of the most valuable parts.

The Black Mountain Demon's soul was scattered, and the only treasure he left behind was the Ten Thousand Mile Yin Mountain that he summoned, which was also a top-level magic weapon he had refined.

Whether you give it as a gift or use it yourself, it will make you look very prestigious.

Chapter 971 The Poison God's Fear of the Demonic Path

The Poison God has escaped!

The moment he recognized the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Poison God knew that if he didn't leave, he would surely perish here.

And the Black Mountain Demon?

The moment he was pierced by the Dragon-Slaying Sword, there was no chance of survival.

That is the Kunlun treasure, the ancient divine weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

Since the beginning of the conflict between good and evil, countless demonic masters have met their demise by its blade. Rather than a divine weapon, it is more like an ancient and malevolent sword!

Zhang Xiaoshan possessed a profound cultivation level comparable to the Kunlun Three Profound Realms, and his pure Yang magic power was as scorching and terrifying as the blazing sun. He unleashed the sharpness of the divine sword, killing him as easily as slaughtering a dog.

As for the sneak attack, Zhang Xiaoshan first used fire, then pretended to use the Ten Thousand Swords Technique as the main attack, and secretly killed the Black Mountain Demon with a hidden sword.

If he didn't know that Zhang Xiaoshan cultivated the Pure Yang Dao, he would have suspected that Zhang Xiaoshan was also a member of the demonic path.

In terms of the insidiousness of his methods, he was in no way inferior to her.

Therefore, without saying a word, the Poison God used the Blood Escape Technique to escape the battlefield.

Upon returning to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Poison God immediately relayed Zhang Xiaoshan's message.

Zhang Xiaoshan was a disciple of the Kunlun Taoist sect, which was directly opposed to his demonic sect.

Although the Poison God also wanted to use Zhang Xiaoshan to eliminate several unsuspecting demonic giants.

But considering that the righteous path has produced such a peerless prodigy, possessing terrifying cultivation no less than that of the Three Profound Realms at such a young age, if they don't unite, it's feared that ten years from now will be the time of the destruction of the demonic path.

Moreover, he saw the shadows of many immortal sects in Zhang Xiaoshan.

Pure Yang Dao?

Zhang Xiaoshan's pure Yang magic power, as pure as the bright sun, must have been cultivated through the most advanced Pure Yang Daoist lineage.

Only the Taiyi Immortal Sect possesses the most advanced pure Yang inheritance in the cultivation world.

Combined with the Myriad Swords Technique, it becomes the most advanced sword-controlling technique in the Shu Mountain sect.

At this time, the Poison God suspected that Zhang Xiaoshan was jointly trained by Kunlun, Shushan, and Taiyi Immortal Sect, with the aim of destroying their various demonic sects.

After all, pure Yang magic power can restrain their demonic path, and the Nanming Fire and the Dragon-Slaying Sword are treasures of the cultivation world.

Even if these major demonic figures joined forces, they might not be able to defeat their opponent.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan was only at the Golden Core stage ten years ago, but now he has the power of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Such a terrifying cultivation speed, and with such a solid foundation, is probably due to some great opportunity or empowerment.

Thinking of the majestic Kunlun Mountains, a legacy from ancient times.

This is a huge investment.

A letter from the God of Poison immediately stirred up a storm in the entire demonic path.

Furthermore, to enhance the realism, the Poison God also revealed that he had joined forces with two great demons.

They are the demonic path, while Zhang Xiaoshan is the righteous path; this has nothing to do with betraying the human race.

Instantly, the demonic giants who had been itching to act all suppressed their ambitions.

With cultivation levels no less than the Three Mysteries of Kunlun or the Five Elders of Shu Mountain, plus the Southern Bright Fire and the ancient divine weapon Dragon-Slaying Sword, they would only be cannon fodder if they went there.

Although they also possess ancient demonic weapons, they are at most on par with the White Sword and Frostflower Sword.

On the other hand, the Dragon Slayer Sword is undoubtedly an ancient and ferocious sword.

When the demonic forces gathered, Zhang Xiaoshan's feats of slaying the Black Mountain Demon and the Hundred-Foot Centipede Demon also became famous throughout the cultivation world.

It should be noted that the Black Mountain Demon is a powerful being in the underworld with ten thousand years of cultivation, while the Hundred-Foot Centipede Demon, judging from its size alone, has far more than a thousand years of cultivation.

The entire cultivation world was shaken once again.

You should know that Zhang Xiaoshan is a junior. In Kunlun and Shushan, he would call disciples with some cultivation "senior brother".

But this newcomer, who had only been in the industry for less than thirty years, was able to eliminate two great demons in succession, leaving everyone astonished by Zhang Xiaoshan's extraordinary talent.

···

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

Shushan Grand Hall.

After returning from the capital city of Dali to the headquarters of the Royal Merchant Guild, Zhang Xiaoshan was subsequently invited to Mount Shu.

While the disciples of Mount Shu might be shocked by Zhang Xiaoshan's annihilation of two major demons, the Five Elders of Mount Shu, knowing Zhang Xiaoshan's trump cards, were not particularly surprised.

The reason Zhang Xiaoshan was summoned this time was because they, the Shushan sect, received the news.

The powerful figures of the demonic path gathered, intending to harm Zhang Xiaoshan.

Even though Zhang Xiaoshan is protected by his primordial spirit and the ancient immortal technique of Yin-Yang Unity, demonic methods are difficult to defend against and will not confront him head-on.

"Young friend, you have vanquished two great demons this time, which has greatly enhanced the prestige of our righteous path."

"I apologize for making a fool of myself, seniors. I was just trying to make an example of them and make those demons retreat without a fight so that they can live in peace from now on."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders of Mount Shu exchanged a smile.

Zhang Xiaoshan's plan backfired. Instead of intimidating the demonic path by killing two demon kings, it made the demonic path see Zhang Xiaoshan as a major threat and want to join forces to eliminate him.

Qingwei then recounted the news that Shushan had received from the demonic path, which caused even Zhang Xiaoshan to frown upon hearing it.

The demonic forces have gathered, intending to join forces to deal with him?

Although he didn't take the major demonic masters seriously, it's always easier to dodge a spear in the open than to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Especially since the Poison God saw so many of his trump cards, he would definitely not confront him head-on, but would only plot against him in secret.

"What are your plans, young friend?"

"When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it!"

He came from a broken path, alone and unburdened by worldly ties.

In the cultivation world, his only bond is with his junior sister Li Yang, and his trip to Da Li is also to resolve her worldly affairs.

If the demonic path wants to resort to underhanded tactics, they could either join forces to set a trap or start with the royal family of Dali.

"It's good that you understand, young friend!"

Even if the demonic cultivators wanted to threaten the royal family of Dali, they would only be threatening Li Yang, not Zhang Xiaoshan.

As for the rest?

Just as the malice sensed in Zhang Xiaoshan, this man was no easy opponent.

"However, the path is not one of constant vigilance against thieves."

Since the demonic path has gathered and wants to join forces to deal with the lesser path, the lesser path wants to strike first.

"Esteemed seniors, do you have any specific information about the demonic path?"

"Young friend..."

Looking at the killing intent emanating from Zhang Xiaoshan, Qingwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, no wonder the old Taoist Xuanxu handed the Dragon Slayer Sword to Zhang Xiaoshan.

This (Qian Nuo) is definitely not a good person.

"Don't worry, senior. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

This time, the main purpose is to deter troublemakers. The kid just wanted to make an example of someone to warn others and live a more peaceful life.

Since these demonic cultivators don't want me to live in peace, I will suppress them for three thousand years, so they won't dare to show their faces."

"It's good that you know what's going on, young friend."

Qingwei feared that Zhang Xiaoshan's excessive killings might lead him astray.
