第四卷 七星岛 第六百七十三章 厉魄丹

In an instant, a sinister look flashed across Lei Bao's eyes as he reached out and struck his storage bag. A lustrous black pill was pulled out.

Lepo Pill!

This was personally refined by the demon sect's master of pills, Ghost Pill Elder. Its effects far surpassed those available in the market for temporarily boosting cultivation.

Valued at tens of thousands of crystal stones, it was a rare commodity with no equivalent on the market. Even an old monster of the元婴 stage would be hard-pressed to obtain one. Lin Xuan had only stumbled upon this treasure by chance and treated it as if it were his life.

But now, he couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. He swallowed the pill, and his aura began to swell dramatically!

Crack! The bones in his body snapped loudly, causing his shirt to tear. Blood vessels appeared on his skin, making him look quite terrifying. This was nothing unusual; within just a few seconds, his cultivation had skyrocketed to the peak of the 凝丹 stage, putting a strain on his body.

He believed that even if he managed to escape this time, he would surely fall ill afterward.

Despite surpassing Yue'er's cultivation, she still wore an air of composure on her face.

Peak Condensation Core Stage?

Hmm, good. This will add some new flavor to the battle.

Her delicate hand extended as she was about to cast another spell when Lin Xuan's voice interrupted: "Really, little girl, stop playing around and finish off your opponent. We need to keep moving."

Lin Xuan remained suspended in mid-air, but his divine sense could perceive everything within a dozen miles. This wasn't difficult for him.

Around his body were six grotesque skulls that looked quite terrifying. The cultivators from the Ten Thousand Ghost Lake had been defeated and only Yue'er's group was left.

With a slight mental command, the six skulls turned into pus-filled blood, recombined, and within seconds, the Corpse Demon of the元婴 stage appeared intact before him.

Lin Xuan grinned. The mysterious nature of this Heaven Corpse Incarnation Art struck him as impressive. The Nine Great Powers of the Cloud Sea truly had a long history, far surpassing ordinary sects. Otherwise, the Heaven Corpse Sect wouldn't have such formidable techniques.

Choosing to eliminate his opponents was the right decision. If word got out and he offended Ten Thousand Ghost Lake, it wouldn't be that easy.

Lin Xuan stored the Corpse Demon in his Spirit Ghost Bag.

Meanwhile, Yue'er followed her master's instructions and quickly put on a serious face. Though she was mischievous, she never went against Lin Xuan's wishes. Her cuteness lay in knowing when to prioritize.

She wasn't arrogant despite being favored. This was why Lin Xuan treated her so well!

Once she became serious, Yue'er no longer used试探性 spells but instead clapped her hands and pointed at the beast soul banner above her head. The aura around it surged dramatically as a series of terrifying beast roars echoed from within. Countless demon souls poured out.

Of course, there were also some scattered cultivator spirits who had perished at Lin Xuan's or Yue'er's hands and were now absorbed into the banner.

The shocking display alarmed Lei Bao, but after assessing their levels, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of them were low-grade demon souls!

This was good news for him. However, he wasn't in the mood to fight these spirits. His goal was simply to escape. He muttered something and his black iron cane merged into one piece, absorbing the demonic energy it emitted. Two-headed dragons appeared before his eyes, much larger than before.

"Quickly!"

Yue'er ignored them as she pointed her finger. The demon souls howled and converged mid-air, forming a massive demonic creature that was half-human, half-demon, towering over ten meters tall. It held a curved blade made of condensed dark energy in its hand.

Both parties' techniques seemed formidable, but the battle quickly revealed their disparity. The two-headed dragon fell behind, with each slash forcing it to retreat several steps. Even an onlooker could see how miserable it was.

What's going on?

Lei Bao's mouth hung open as he realized his plan had failed. He had used the Lepo Pill to boost his cultivation and hoped this would overwhelm his opponent, giving him a chance to escape. Instead, things were turning out completely opposite from what he expected.

Had something gone wrong? He couldn't afford to lose against an old monster of the元婴 stage, but this girl was just one of his ghost pets—how could she be so formidable?

His mind filled with frustration, fear, and disappointment...

And as his panic grew, his situation only worsened. Yue'er remained calm, knowing that her master had given orders not to keep Lin Xuan waiting.

Lei Bao had already lost hope and was now in a desperate state. He raised his head and let out a wild roar.

With this roar, the two-headed dragons' bodies suddenly swelled and fragmented into countless pieces. This was his last-ditch effort, sacrificing his命魂 treasure.

This was significant as the demonic creature staggered from the blow.

Yue'er's face paled slightly, as if her mind had been affected.

The moment was ripe; Lei Bao's eyes flashed with a mix of joy and anger before he threw all his resources into creating this loophole.

With an extremely resentful look, he stared at Yue'er. Then, he turned around and began to flee.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the luxury of looking behind him. Yue'er had already stabilized her body; she looked as pristine as jade, with no sign of injury. She had just feigned it.

The saying "near the red, one turns red; near the black, one turns black" held true for Yue'er after spending so many years with Lin Xuan—she was now cunning and deceitful.

Poor Lei Bao, a great hero, fell into this trap.

In an instant, his escape light had shot out tens of meters. Just as he let out a sigh of relief, silver light flashed before him, and two thin-edged throwing knives came from different directions.

The timing was perfect... it was the blind spot when he turned.

This was sudden. By the time he realized it, the knives were only a few feet away from his body. He couldn't dodge in time or even raise his dark energy shield. Lei Bao's soul flew out of his body as he cried for mercy: "Miss..."

But this final plea was cut off as one knife pierced through his chest, shredding his heart to pieces. The other knife circled around his neck and severed his head.

This wasn't over yet. For the enemy, Yue'er inherited her master's philosophy—either do nothing or do it thoroughly. Once she acted, there would be no mercy for them.

She lightly tapped a black thread from the beast soul banner, pulling out the enemy's soul from its decaying body. This was to replenish and increase the power of her demonic treasures slightly.
