Chapter 885
The roar of the big demon caused turbid waves on the river.
Xiao Zhan stood high in the sky, but couldn't see the specific location of the big demon clearly.
Suddenly, on a river bank thousands of meters away, a big demon suddenly emerged from the ground.
It was on all fours, its black hair taut, like jet-black steel needles, overwhelmingly approaching Xiao Zhan.
It was like a rain of steel needles.
"Boom!"
There were bursts of explosions on the ground.
Xiao Zhan suddenly struck out with his palm, a huge black palm print instantly set off a gust of wind and turned into a barrier, blocking the attack of the big monster.
Although the big demon is comparable to the middle stage of the Fusion Realm, he also knows at this time that he can never be Xiao Zhan's opponent.
Its voice grew angrier:
"You have already killed all my children, now you want to kill them all!"
"The big deal is, I just won't hurt humans anymore!"
Xiao Zhan had no expression on his face and spoke slowly, his voice echoing for hundreds of miles around:
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature."
"No need to talk nonsense. If you can escape, run away. If you can't escape, just fight to the death. I'll give you this chance."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan rushed towards the big demon.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhan arrived in front of the big demon.
The big demon opened its mouth, and a huge amount of river water instantly sprayed towards Xiao Zhan.
A sour smell filled the air.
Green smoke began to rise in the air.
It can be seen that what was spit out was not ordinary river water, but something highly toxic and corrosive.
Xiao Zhan's figure suddenly appeared behind the big demon.
The big demon flicked its tail.
The huge tail swept towards Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's figure flashed and he easily avoided it.
The tail hit a nearby mountain peak, smashing the mountain into pieces and exploding into countless rubbles.
Such a huge movement has actually attracted a large number of monks to come and watch.
Among them, there are many disciples from other sects, as well as many casual cultivators in the world.
When they saw that the big demon was at a disadvantage and Xiao Zhan seemed to have not shown his true strength, they were immediately shocked.
"Who is this big shot!"
"With such power, he must be a strong man in the Fusion Realm!"
"I just didn't expect that this big demon is also in the Fusion state. Fortunately, we didn't encounter it, otherwise there would definitely be no bones left by now!"
"I think this senior is probably a strong man from the Xiuyuan Sect!"
While everyone was talking, Xiao Zhan had already arrived in front of the big demon and punched out fiercely.
Countless black fist marks flew in the air, setting off a violent hurricane.
These fist marks hit the big demon from all directions, but they condensed into a huge black fist mark a hundred feet long less than a hundred meters away from the big demon.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang.
A huge bloody hole was suddenly punched out of the big demon's body.
Black blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the void and the river red.
The big demon screamed and got into the river again.
The river splashed and then gradually subsided after a while.
The big demon disappeared again.
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head.
If the big demon had escaped in this way from the beginning, it would be really hard to find him.
But now...
Xiao Zhan looked at a river thousands of meters away.
His figure flashed and appeared in that position.
The next moment, the monks suspended on both sides of the Tuotian River saw:
Xiao Zhan raised his right hand.
The majestic mysterious energy began to condense in the palm of his hand and rotated rapidly, forming a black vortex.
Visible to the naked eye, lightning and thunder began in the sky, and energy from a thousand miles away gathered towards Xiao Zhan.
The majestic energy formed a ball of light about half a meter in diameter in Xiao Zhan's hands.
Xiao Zhan jumped up, reached the high altitude, and then turned his hands violently.
The ball of light exploded towards the river.
The dazzling white light was accompanied by a violent explosion that shattered the eardrums.
Everyone was forced to close their eyes.
The great demon's tragic wail sounded.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they saw Xiao Zhan standing high in the sky.
Below him, a huge chasm opened in the river.
A huge amount of river water poured into the bottomless pit.
At the bottom of the pit, the big monster struggled and rushed out.
It was just that it was extremely embarrassed at this time, its huge body was covered in blood and flesh, black blood spattered violently, and then it fell dying on the river.
It gasped violently.
Its scarlet eyes were filled with unwillingness and humanized resentment.
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head, and a ball of light condensed in his palm again.
The next moment, the light ball burst out towards the big demon.
The big demon closed his eyes.
The fear and despair in its eyes are about to disappear.
But the next moment, the light ball suddenly exploded less than a hundred meters in front of it.
Xiao Zhan's voice also sounded in its mind:
"Do you...regret it?"
The big demon suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhan high in the sky, his eyes full of human doubts.
Xiao Zhan said slowly:
"Yes, I killed those cubs of yours."
"They feed on human flesh and blood. It has nothing to do with me, but I am also a human being."
"From a human perspective, I will never let your cub live."
"To a certain extent, it was your behavior that killed your cub."
"If you only feed your cubs with other animals, it won't kill them."
Seeing that the big demon was motionless, Xiao Zhan spoke again:
"The weak eat the strong, and all living beings are equal."
"You are not wrong, and I am not wrong either."
"It's just a different stance."
The big demon suddenly got up with difficulty, its tail kept swinging, causing huge waves on the river.
Xiao Zhan looked at it calmly.
If he continues to fight, he will kill the big monster immediately.
However, the next moment, the big demon stretched out his two front paws and bowed to Xiao Zhan:
"I see."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm':
"You wait for me here until I finish my work and come back to you. When the time comes, you follow me back to the Xiuyuan Sect and enter my tenth peak to cultivate your mind."
"After a thousand years of this, you will be able to attain enlightenment and become an immortal."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
The big demon also sank into the river.
And those who were watching the battle had expressions of disbelief on their faces:
"That person just now is Xiao Zhan, the peak master of Xiuyuan Sect's tenth peak?"
"I heard that he showed his true strength when the Xiuyuan Sect recruited disciples. He should be the strongest person in the Xiuyuan Sect second only to the sect leader Murong Xuantian!"
"But why didn't he kill this big monster!"
"The great demon in the Fusion Realm has caused so many murders, why should we let him go!"
"Did you hear that? Peak Master Xiao is going to take this big monster back to Xiuyuan Sect's tenth peak to practice!"
"Is this Master Xiao crazy?"
"What on earth was he thinking?"
How could these people understand Xiao Zhan's thoughts?
Their realm is far different from Xiao Zhan's.
Indeed, Xiao Zhan was right.
From the perspective of the great demon, there was nothing wrong with him capturing the stone house to feed the cubs.
It's just that he hunted the human race, and the human race happened to have too many strong men.
The human race...why don't they hunt a large number of monsters for food?
It's nothing more than the law of the jungle, it has nothing to do with right or wrong.
That's why Xiao Zhan was willing to take this big demon to practice at the tenth peak of the Xiuyuan Sect.
After leaving Taotian River, Xiao Zhan headed south, towards Weeping Willow City.
There are less than five days left before the promotion banquet for the ancestor of the Cui family is held. Since Xiao Zhan represents the Xiuyuan Sect, it is natural not to be late, lest he be criticized and said to be someone from the Xiuyuan Sect putting on airs.
At the same time, Weeping Willow City was already decorated with lights and the entire city was preparing for the upcoming promotion banquet held by the Cui family.
When the time comes, Weeping Willow City will receive congratulations from sects and casual cultivators from all over the Haoyang Empire. This will be a rare event in Weeping Willow City in a thousand years.
In Weeping Willow City, the Cui family is the only overlord.
Those who can make a living in Weeping Willow City also surrender at the feet of the Cui family.
There were even rumors that the Tuoba royal family also sent a special envoy to attend the promotion banquet of the ancestor of the Cui family.
This shows how much face a strong person in the Fusion Realm has!
Ye Qingcheng had already arrived at Weeping Willow City first, but instead of rushing into the city, he sat down cross-legged on a mountain peak eighteen miles outside the city.
She is waiting for Xiao Zhan.
At a certain moment, a figure flew past high in the sky.
An aura emerged from Ye Qingcheng's body.
Xiao Zhan's figure immediately fell from the sky and landed in front of Ye Qingcheng.
"Master Ye Feng, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ye Qingcheng shook his head lightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his cold eyes:
"Why did it take so long? Isn't that big demon in the early stage of the Fusion Realm?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Middle stage of Fusion Realm."
"It took me some time to find the big monster. I have subdued the big monster. When I go back, I will take the big monster back to the tenth peak and treat it as a guardian monster."
Ye Qingcheng nodded and looked at the Weeping Willow City Road more than ten miles away:
"Then let's go. In a while, the Cui family ancestor's promotion banquet will begin."
After saying that, Ye Qingcheng walked slowly down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, the two slowly walked towards Weeping Willow City.
Ye Qingcheng took the initiative to speak:
"The ancestor of the Cui family is named Cui Yuan."
"Calculating his age, he should be over 1,300 years old this year."
"I have only broken through to the Fusion Realm at this age. I will at most advance to one or two smaller realms in this life."
"I'm afraid he knows this by holding such a high-profile promotion banquet, so he wants to use his reputation to recruit a group of strong people for the Cui family, so that the Cui family can reach its peak in his lifetime."
Xiao Zhan looked calm:
"The sect leader asked you and me to go to the Cui family just to let the world know that the Xiuyuan Sect is the strongest within the Haoyang Empire."
"In my opinion, it's actually not necessary."
Ye Qingcheng said 'hmm' but did not express an opinion.
After a long time, she said:
"I heard that the Tuoba royal family sent a worshiper, who is also at the early stage of the Fusion Realm."
"Do you think it is possible for the Tuoba royal family to recruit Cui Yuan as a worshiper?"
Xiao Zhan took a sip of wine and spoke slowly:
"Recruiting or not, does it have anything to do with Xiuyuan Sect?"
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly:
"Our Xiuyuan Sect is the country-protecting sect of the Haoyang Empire."
"It is not an exaggeration to say that our Xiuyuan Sect is the protective umbrella of the empire."
"But the people in charge of the empire are several major families."
"The Tuoba royal family, the Huangfu family..."
"If the Tuoba royal family pays enough tribute, they can crush other families."
"When the balance is broken, I'm afraid the Haoyang Empire will be in turmoil again."
Xiao Zhan looked deeply and chuckled:
"What should be chaotic will eventually be chaotic, and what should not be chaotic will not be chaotic."
"Human nature cannot be changed, and neither can the Xiuyuan Sect."
Some people died, but not completely...
