Chapter 69

To the leader of the Nine Toxins Gang, this was a huge joke. He burst out laughing, and the black-clothed men around him followed suit. Their laughter was extremely unpleasant, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You father could only cause us great losses by coming secretly. If we had been prepared, he would have been dead long ago. But now you come here when we are prepared, you are certain to die," the leader of the Nine Toxins Gang said with a sinister smile.

"You must have come here without encountering Song Nanming, so you're still quite lucky. But coming here means you will die just the same! Of course, I won't let you die easily. I will slowly poison you to death, and I will even use you to threaten the Shen family..."

Shen Xiang interrupted him, saying, "I did encounter Song Nanming, and I even experienced the so-called pride of your Nine Toxins Gang, but it doesn't seem very impressive."

Shen Xiang's words instantly froze the smug face of the Nine Toxins Gang leader, who said in disbelief, "Kid, I know you're strong, but to survive the encirclement of hundreds of our gang members, are you at the Tenth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm?"

"I admit, your needle skills are quite good and dangerous, but in my eyes, they are just children's play!" Shen Xiang had been smiling, but his smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a face full of killing intent: "I am not at the Tenth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm, but I can kill someone at that level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of无形的气罡 suddenly emerged from Shen Xiang's arm. This was the True Qi of the Universe and Earth condensed, and if one's divine sense was not strong enough, they would not be able to detect this terrifying True Qi.

Just as the Nine Toxins Gang members realized Shen Xiang was about to attack, his fist suddenly struck out. The speed was so fast that the immense power collided with the air, producing a deafening explosion. The ground could not withstand the powerful force and was shattered by the shockwave, causing the entire palace to shake violently.

All of this happened in the instant Shen Xiang struck out, and his fist accurately hit the old man's chest. What Shen Xiang did not expect was that the Nine Toxins Gang leader did not fly away. In that moment, the leader released a surge of气罡 to resist Shen Xiang's powerful force.

"You..." The Nine Toxins Gang leader was taken aback by Shen Xiang's sudden attack and the terrifying power, which he believed rivaled that of the Tenth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm. A large mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, and Shen Xiang's heavy punch had severely injured him.

"Attack, kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiang's fist suddenly turned golden, with golden True Qi flowing through his veins. The ground beneath his feet cracked, and an overwhelmingly powerful True Qi surged out of his body. Shen Xiang's heavy punch struck out again.

"Dragon Qi Fist!" This was the Dragon Slayer Divine Art, and its power was unimaginable, especially when transformed from the True Qi of the Universe and Earth.

"Stop, I am the Hundred Toxins Sect..." Before he could finish, Shen Xiang's fist struck the Nine Toxins Gang leader's head, like a ball of intense golden light colliding with it.

The True Qi containing super-destructive power struck the head, and the head and upper body were instantly shattered into pieces. At the same time, countless needles shot toward Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang was not new to dealing with these hidden weapons. He knew they were powered by True Qi and could be accurately released with some skill.

The way to deal with these hidden weapons was to either use powerful True Qi to deflect them or control them.

Shen Xiang had a powerful divine sense. Once he released it, he could clearly sense every flying needle around him, and they appeared slower in his eyes.

This time, Shen Xiang did not use True Qi to block the needles but used his divine sense to directly control the incoming poisonous needles, stopping them in mid-air.

"Hmph, is that all you've got?" Shen Xiang coldly snorted, and a wave of intense heat suddenly emanated from his body. The surrounding air ignited into a raging fire, instantly burning the needles.

The Nine Toxins Gang members were all shocked. They thought their powerful hidden weapons had been so easily deflected. Just as they were about to launch a second wave, Shen Xiang disappeared into the sea of fire.

As they looked up, a massive fiery hand, emitting scorching heat, descended like a mountain!

Boom, boom, boom...

The massive fiery hand pressed down, causing a series of violent explosions. The hundreds of gang members in the hall were crushed into meat pies and then burned by the flames.

Shen Xiang once again released all his Vermilion Bird True Qi, forming a massive hand that obliterated all the Nine Toxins Gang members in the hall!

To a Tenth Level Mortal Martial Realm warrior, ordinary people were like ants. This was not an exaggeration of the Tenth Level's power; even the Eighth Level was very formidable. Shen Xiang was currently at the Eighth Level, but his strength surpassed the Ninth Level, and he could even match a Tenth Level Grand Completion warrior.

Shen Xiang rushed out of the hall and, using his mountain-splitting strength, destroyed the peak of Chaotic Wind Mountain!

After descending from Chaotic Wind Mountain and entering the forest, Shen Xiang immediately activated the Tai Chi Divine Art to suppress his violent killing intent, otherwise, he would have looked like a killing demon after slaughtering a group of people.

As Shen Xiang entered the forest, a thin middle-aged man appeared before him. The man was dressed in clean white clothes, with an ordinary appearance and a beard on his chin, looking like a very common middle-aged man.

But when Shen Xiang saw this middle-aged man, he felt a chill. The man had appeared silently around him, and Shen Xiang could not detect his strength. Shen Xiang's intuition told him that this middle-aged man was extremely dangerous.

"I didn't expect to find such a prodigy in this secular world. Not only do you possess True Qi wings and astonishing alchemy talent, but your own strength is also shocking. If you can advance to the True Martial Realm, you will surely be the most promising young man in history," the middle-aged man said expressionlessly, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Who are you?" Shen Xiang asked with caution.

The middle-aged man showed a stiff smile, "My name is Nine Toxins, and the Nine Toxins Gang you just destroyed was founded by me. Who do you think I am?"

Shen Xiang was startled again. He knew that Nine Toxins must have been following him for a long time but had not made a move, even watching his own Nine Toxins Gang be destroyed.

Nine Toxins' purpose was clear: he was waiting for Shen Xiang to deplete his True Qi so that he could more easily deal with him. He was willing to let his Nine Toxins Gang be destroyed, showing how much he valued Shen Xiang.

"Tenth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm!" Shen Xiang said solemnly.

"Good eyesight," Nine Toxins coldly smiled, looking at the burned palace on the mountain peak, and said with disdain, "At my level, I don't take the Nine Toxins Gang seriously; it was just a toy I created for amusement."

"Your True Qi must be depleted now! Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will take you to the Hundred Toxins Sect and present you as a gift to the elders. They will certainly like you. But before that, you must hand over something, or I will make your life worse than death." As he finished, Nine Toxins looked vicious.
