Slaying 3 Demons, Rewarded with Wutong Fruit

Both the mud demon and the six-winged cicada were stunned by this scene.

The centipede, whose cultivation was close to the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, possessed a natural armor comparable to a low-grade spiritual treasure. Yet, it was in such a sorry state when faced with Jin Xuan's attack.

When the mud demon was attacked, they thought it was because the mud demon was inherently countered and the other party launched a sneak attack. Now it seems that this Taoist priest is indeed quite skilled.

Seizing the opportunity, Chongming transformed into a woman dressed in fiery red, with a beautiful face and pale complexion. She came to Jin Xuan's side with a joyful expression and said to him, "Fellow Daoist, you have skillful methods. Let's leave quickly and not get entangled with them."

"Go! You can't escape!" The centipede leaped out from the rocks, its ferocity reaching its peak, its malevolent aura surging like a spring. "Attack together! Deal with this Taoist priest first. The spiritual treasure in his hand is mine, and you two can share his life essence..."

Halfway through his sentence, the Flying Blood Sword transformed into a streak of red light and shot out, heading straight for the centipede's mouthparts.

Speak? If you speak, you won't be able to spew poisonous flames, right?

The Flying Blood Sword was already fast, and with Jin Xuan's sneak attack, it became even faster than before.

The centipede saw the red light and tried to stop it, but it missed.

The Flying Blood Sword plunged into the centipede's mouth, and then, inside its body, the sword acted like a meat grinder, turning its internal organs into a pulp.

Before his primordial spirit could escape, Jin Xuan spewed out a breath of Taiyin cold air, freezing it to the point of collapse.

"Dead!?"

The Mud Demon, the Six-Winged Cicada, and the Double-Bright Bird were all stunned for a moment.

The Chongming Bird, in particular, was surprised that this fellow Daoist had acted so swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, the strongest centipede was killed.

The mud demon and the six-winged cicada instantly flew into a rage, especially the six-winged cicada, which went berserk and attacked Jin Xuan.

"Kill this beast immediately!"

The Six-Winged Demonic Cicada moved swiftly, and six flying knives as thin as cicada wings seemed to merge into the air, making no sound at all, yet silently carrying terrifying killing intent, rushing towards Jin Xuan.

Jin Xuan had just witnessed the Six-Winged Demonic Cicada's attack and knew how powerful this treasure was; its speed surpassed even that of the Flying Blood Sword.

Upon seeing this treasure disappear into the void, he immediately used his supernatural power, "All Rivers Flow Back to the Source".

Blue water surged around him, creating whirlpools all over his body.

Using the power of the vortex, the flying knife attacks were neutralized.

The flying knife struck the vortex around Jin Xuan, losing only one or two tenths of its full power, and basically caused no damage.

These six throwing knives were actually stuck to the vortex by its terrifying suction force.

The six-winged demonic cicada was greatly alarmed and wanted to retrieve the spiritual treasure formed from its six wings, but then Jin Xuan opened his mouth wide and a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden toad phantom appeared behind him.

Supernatural Power—Black Hole Devouring the Heavens!

The phantom of the golden toad opened its enormous mouth, and a terrifying suction force suddenly swept over it.

With a sense of crisis looming, where would the six-winged demonic cicada dare to linger?

He immediately transformed into a streak of light and attempted to flee.

However, the speed of his Six-Winged Cicada came from the six wings behind him.

As a result, the six wings were sucked in by the Golden Profound Divine Power. Once the Black Hole Devouring Heaven Divine Power was used, the pulling force was even stronger, and everything around was pulled.

The six wings that transformed into flying knives instantly surged into the black hole.

As for the six-winged demonic cicada, without its six wings, its speed plummeted, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed whole by Jin Xuan and disappeared.

"How is this possible?! Instant kill!"

The Chongming bird was already extremely shocked.

But the six-winged demonic cicada not only failed to harm Jin Xuan in the slightest, but was also instantly killed by him, which shocked him beyond measure.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with disbelief.

From the moment the Six-Winged Demonic Cicada attacked Jin Xuan to the moment Jin Xuan counterattacked and swallowed it, only a fleeting moment passed.

In fact, the mud demon didn't even have time to deal with Jin Xuan.

Seeing that the centipede and the mud demon died at the same time, how could the mud demon still think that Jin Xuan had frozen it by sneak attack?

The mud demon was terrified. Such methods were hardly those of a Taiyi Golden Immortal in its early stages.

Even late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals don't possess such ferocity.

Little did he know that the methods Jin Xuan used were only a part of the whole.

The real trump card has not yet been played.

Before the mud demon could escape, it sensed a chill coming from behind.

It's that same treasure from before!

Can't escape!

The mud demon hurriedly turned around and begged for mercy: "Immortal, spare my life! Immortal, spare my life! If you spare me, I am willing to be your slave and servant."

"Excuse me, you stink." Jin Xuan replied, and the Yin Cold Power in the Xuan Sha Pearl erupted, freezing the mud demon once again.

With a single punch, the mud demon's entire body shattered into ice shards.

Under the Black Hole Devouring Heaven technique, the essence and blood of the demon and the centipede were extracted.

In addition, the armor and mouthparts of the centipede are also good resources for refining treasures, so they should not be overlooked.

As for the six-winged centipede's essence blood and the flying knives transformed from its six wings, Jin Xuan also spat them out, suspending them in front of him.

Jin Xuan's aura was steady, as if he hadn't been the one who had easily crushed the three demons just now.

The Chongming bird standing to the side was already stunned.

From the appearance of Jin Xuan to the annihilation of the three demons, only a few breaths passed.

Such overwhelming power, especially the power of the Xuan Sha Pearl, made her heart flutter with awe.

The Chongming Bird took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Jin Xuan, saying, "Ming Tong of the Chongming lineage of the Phoenix Clan thanks you for saving my life, senior. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would not have escaped your clutches today."

Seeing that Jin Xuan possessed such great supernatural powers, no less than a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal in the clan, Ming Tong addressed him as an elder.

Jin Xuan sensed several more streams of merit power merging into himself.

Having obtained the three drops of life essence blood from a Taiyi Golden Immortal in its early stages, he knew that the spiritual treasure was about to be fully formed, and he was extremely satisfied.

Jin Xuan accepted the greeting without ceremony and said to Ming Tong, "Fellow Daoist Ming Tong, there's no need to be so polite. I am Jin Xuan, and I just happened to be there."

"If it weren't for the pure aura surrounding you, I might have killed you as well."

Upon hearing this, Ming Tong broke out in a cold sweat and laughed, "To be honest, senior, when I was in the Dragon-Han Tribulation, I was already at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

After the great calamity, burdened by karma, my cultivation level plummeted. Later, I accumulated merit and sought rare and precious materials to dispel my karma. Only recently have I cleansed myself of all karmic burdens.

"I see!" Jin Xuan understood instantly upon hearing this.

This woman is the true senior; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack of three Taiyi Golden Immortals for so long.

After Ming Tong finished speaking, she took out a fiery red jade box from her bosom and presented it with both hands, saying, "Senior, I have nothing of value but this is the only thing that is worthwhile. It will also be useful to you, so I hope you will accept it."

Jin Xuan took the jade box, opened it, and saw dozens of small fruits inside, red as jade, emitting a faint fragrance and a fiery aura.

"This is... such pure aura of the Blazing Fire!?"

Ming Tong smiled and explained to Jin Xuan, "This is the fruit of the phoenix tree, a top-grade innate spiritual root, from the Phoenix Clan's Undying Volcano."

There are many parasol trees, and although a few fruits are not as good as some top-grade spiritual fruits, the innate fire spiritual energy contained in them is extremely pure.

"Senior, you are now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, having condensed the five elements within your heart. With this Wutong fruit, you will be able to save yourself some time and effort."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan looked at Ming Tong as if he had seen a treasure trove.

He refines the five elements in his chest. Although he doesn't need to care about the grade of the five elements, as long as he purifies them, he can make his magical power more profound.

However, if the material used is of extremely high quality, the step of purifying the magic power can be omitted.

Now that we've established a connection with Ming Tong, we can potentially use her connections to exchange for rare and precious materials related to the Wutong tree.

Jin Xuan shared this idea with Ming Tong.

Upon hearing this, Ming Tong agreed: "I understand your meaning, senior. However, this matter needs to be reported to the clan. I will come in person in a few days."

"Alright." Jin Xuan finished speaking and handed Ming Tong a jade talisman.

Once he reaches the vicinity of this area, contact him using a jade talisman.

After the matter was settled, Ming Tong consumed several healing spiritual roots, and her injuries were almost healed. Then, she transformed into a stream of light and vanished in an instant.

Jin Xuan's eyes flashed, his face full of envy.

"The avian race is indeed incredibly fast at escaping. To have a celestial bird as a mount would be an unparalleled honor."
