Chapter 72

"Boom..."

Almost at the instant the buzzing sound arose, the moment the blinding white light appeared, and in the instant the burly man's soul trembled violently, a thunderous explosion erupted from his soul. This explosion was like a thunderclap, and amidst the sound, it seemed to shake the hearts of everyone, causing the figures in the sky to instantly turn their gazes toward the source of the explosion.

In the midst of this explosion, a destructive force seemed to burst forth from where the burly man stood, causing the two black-clothed men to simultaneously let out a skyward scream filled with extreme fear and the pain of death. The black waves in front of them vanished into nothingness amidst the intense explosion, and their bodies, under the powerful force, shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions.

Along with them, the burly man who had initiated the soul explosion also died!

This sound reverberated through the heavens and earth, causing the cultivators engaged in fierce battle in mid-air to tremble in their hearts, their minds becoming dazed. They had never expected that this burly man would use the soul explosion, which would result in the destruction of both body and soul!

Even Qi Huanglao, who was currently battling with Xiao Yishen, his expression suddenly changed. In this change, shock immediately appeared on his face. This shock made his eyes lose their previous arrogance, replaced by a solemnity that allowed no slack in his fighting spirit. In the instant the soul explosion occurred, he clearly knew that these members of the Demon Blade Sect could initiate a second soul explosion at any time.

The cost of this soul explosion was not only the loss of the Demon Blade Sect's cultivators but also the cultivators of his Northern Stick Manor, who could not escape this calamity!

"Attack their souls... severely wound their souls so they cannot initiate a soul explosion!"

At the same time, Qi Huanglao suddenly shouted, his voice possessing a power that penetrated everything. The black-clothed men, upon hearing this, seemed to suddenly realize something, and one by one, their gazes turned toward the souls behind these burly men.

Xiao Yishen's expression, like Qi Huanglao's, turned from solemn to worried. This worry made him raise his large saber again, and the saber immediately emitted a blinding cold light. As the cold light seeped out, he suddenly turned, not continuing his battle with Qi Huanglao, but instead, in a flash, appeared among the black-clothed men.

As he approached, a powerful force immediately erupted from his body, and in the instant this force roared out, it gathered on the large saber in his hand. As he swung the saber, it seemed to tear through the void, leaving a trail of saber light, and struck the two black-clothed men in front of him with a thunderous impact.

The two black-clothed men were suddenly stunned, and their eyes immediately showed fear. However, Xiao Yishen's speed was truly too fast. Almost at the instant he swung the saber, the black sticks in their hands suddenly broke! Along with the breaking of the black sticks, their bodies and the souls outside their bodies also shattered!

Even amidst the intense explosion, there was one person who seemed unmoved. This person was Su Xuan, standing on the ground. Su Xuan did not move, neither advancing nor retreating. He stood in place, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, his gaze fixed on where the burly man had disappeared, his face showing no emotion.

It was as if he was waiting, waiting for the same calm acceptance of death as the burly man!

Unfortunately, his death would not be as heroic as the burly man's, entirely because Su Xuan had no strength of his own.

He did not escape because he felt that some eyes had been watching him all along. These eyes came from the old man in the air, holding a black stick, who was none other than Qi Huanglao!

"Xiao Yishen!"

Qi Huanglao shouted, his body suddenly approaching. In the instant he approached, the impact force he brought with him made the burly man feel a tremendous force before he even touched him, causing his body to stagger backward.

As Qi Huanglao approached, he immediately swung the black stick in his hand, striking the head of one of the burly men. Before the burly man could react, his head exploded, blood and flesh splattering everywhere! Along with his shattered head, his soul outside his body also disintegrated!

In an instant, the air was filled with the smell of blood, which made Qi Huanglao even more疯狂. In this madness, he swung the black stick in his hand again, the force it emitted seeming to carry a destructive power, mixed with wind and snow, and struck the head of another burly man with a thunderous impact.

"Bang!"

Almost at the instant Qi Huanglao swung the black stick, the head of the other burly man immediately made a dull sound. In this dull sound, blood and flesh splattered, and the soul turned into nothingness. The blood splashed on the white snow, turning the white snow into a vivid red, dyeing the sky above him red, and also dyeing Xiao Yishen's... eyes red!

Xiao Yishen's heart trembled. In this instant, seeing another burly man die, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but these tears were not clear, but red like the blood. This red made him let out a skyward roar, the roar shaking the heavens and earth, penetrating everything, causing some of the strange beasts that had already entered hibernation in the Dawn Mountain Range to wake up and begin to flee rapidly in the Dawn Mountain Range.

This also made the black-clothed men, one by one, tremble in their hearts and retreat!

Also, Bai Shi, who had already flown out of the Abyss of Devouring, seemed to have heard this roar. This roar made him hover in mid-air, his brows suddenly furrowing, and a divine sense spread from his mind.

As this divine sense spread, Bai Shi detected a faint energy fluctuation and a trace of a bloody aura. This aura made his steps move through the void, and his speed suddenly increased.

At the same time, at Xiao Yishen's location, amidst the roar, as the black-clothed men retreated, Xiao Yishen's hands suddenly swung, and immediately, energy fluctuations appeared from his arms. These energy fluctuations formed a barrier, like a transparent shield, completely enveloping the burly men and Xiao Yishen.

"Disciples of the Demon Blade Sect... share life and death with your master. Use your soul power to help me set up this protective circle!"

Xiao Yishen's voice was somewhat low, and in this low voice, he made a decision. This decision was to flee.

In fact, Xiao Yishen was not afraid of death; he was just very afraid of seeing the disciples of the Demon Blade Sect die one by one.

Therefore, in this last moment, he chose to flee. As his voice spread, all the burly men immediately stepped forward, closely beside Xiao Yishen, unleashing their full cultivation. Under this cultivation, their souls immediately emitted a powerful force, instantly spreading over the almost transparent protective circle.

As these forces spread, the almost transparent protective circle immediately emitted a buzzing sound. In this buzzing sound, the protective circle seemed to squeeze out a crack in the void, taking up its position.

Just as the protective circle appeared, their bodies immediately flew toward the depths of the Dawn Mountain Range, heading toward the nearest place, the location of Dongchen Manor. Only by obtaining the help of the manor could they have a chance of survival at this moment!

"Want to escape... not that easy!"
