Upon sensing the spiritual force fluctuation emanating from Xu Sheng's body, Mei Li couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes and exclaim, "This... this is the same as the Sect Master's... the Mahayana Realm!!"
As soon as she spoke, she instinctively took two steps back...
The strength of someone in the Mahayana Realm was far greater than that of someone in the Body Integration Realm. Just like the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, even if all the Elders joined forces to fight against him, the chances of victory were extremely slim!
Xu Sheng chuckled, "Oh? It seems Elder Mei Li hasn't completely lost her senses..."
Although he was only at the first level of the Mahayana Realm, he felt that defeating Mei Li would be as easy as playing a game!
Hearing this slightly humiliating chuckle, Mei Li shouted angrily again, "What does the Mahayana Realm matter? I might not necessarily lose to you!! Earth-grade Superior Martial Technique, Devil Hair Strangle!"
Her salt-and-pepper hair began to shimmer with layers of fluorescence and then eerily started to grow, stretching out to a length of three to four meters, thick as hemp ropes...
Then, as if injected with life, they undulated with their own consciousness, their sharp tips piercing like they could penetrate all matter!
With a thought from Mei Li, these frightening strands of hair all locked onto him, and in an instant, they all stabbed towards him...
They made a "whizzing" sound as they tore through the air, carrying a chilling momentum as they aimed to strangle Xu Sheng from every direction...
Xu Sheng's dark eyes narrowed as he thought, "Heaven-grade Inferior martial technique, Devil Shadow Step!"
The moment after the hair pierced through his afterimage, Xu Sheng's entire person left only a remnant shadow behind, his real body disappearing like a ghost, escaping Mei Li's lock...
Mei Li scanned the surroundings, shouting furiously, "Damn it! Where exactly are you?? I am going to tear you to pieces!"
Suddenly, Xu Sheng's icy voice came from behind her, "Elder Mei Li, where are you looking?"
Almost reflexively, Mei Li spun around, her claw-like fingertips tearing towards him...
After accurately hitting Xu Sheng, a "pu-chi!" sound followed...
Her attack only managed to rip through the crimson robe over Xu Sheng's chest, leaving faint claw marks on his skin!
As for any effective damage, it was almost negligible!
Xu Sheng smiled indifferently, easily grabbing Mei Li's wrists with just his right hand, then clasping his personal sword in his left hand and stabbing towards her abdomen...
In the moment of crisis, Mei Li had no choice but to wrap her hair around her body, forming a solid shield...
When the personal sword clashed against the dense hair shield, it made a "bang!" Immediately after, the sharpness of the sword barely managed to cut a few strands of hair, then could not advance any further...
Seeing his attack didn't break through the defense, Xu Sheng's face showed no surprise as he coldly exclaimed, "Earth-grade Superior Martial Technique, Devil Flame Devouring!"
If she was going to curl up like a ghost, let's see if she could endure the scorching flames!
At the instant those words fell, a cluster of dark purple flames erupted from his left hand, but there was no hot temperature to be felt from it!
This was a flame that specifically burnt the soul, causing almost no harm to the flesh!
However, this martial technique was a Demon Cultivator's technique, which meant that Xu Sheng, the caster, would also have to endure the agonizing pain of being scorched upon contact! But because his soul was very strong, he could withstand it...
Without saying more, he clenched his left hand into a fist, concentrating a huge amount of Devil Flame, and then threw a punch towards Mei Li, who was defending with her hair...
"Bang!"
The instant they made contact, the Devil Flame, like maggots to a corpse, instantly spread from Xu Sheng's fist onto the white strands of hair...
In just a few seconds, every part of Mei Li's body was scorched by these Devil Flames, a spectacular sight indeed!
What followed was the excruciating wail of Mei Li...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh..."
Finally, unable to endure the torment of her soul being continuously scorched, she swiftly unfurled her burning white hair...
Almost simultaneously as she exposed a weakness, Xu Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, showing no mercy as he clenched his personal sword and ferociously slashed at her...
With a "pu-chi!" sound, blood splattered everywhere, and Mei Li's hands were easily severed by him...
Mei Li screamed again, "Ah! My hands!! My hands!! You actually cut off my hands!!"
Her crimson eyes stared fixedly at Xu Sheng, filled with endless murderous intent!!
Then, enduring the burning pain, she immediately controlled her white hair to pierce through the air in all directions, hitting dozens of Xieling Sect disciples in the room...
Xu Sheng promptly retreated two steps backward, dodging the hair attack...
Mei Li spoke indistinct words, and the hair that touched the Xieling Sect disciples began to absorb the blood from their bodies, continuously channeling it into her own...
With every bit of blood absorbed, her own strength grew even more formidable...
Seeing this scene, Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown, "If this continues, it will be very bad!"
Waiting for Mei Li to finish absorbing the blood from these several dozen Xieling Sect disciples would no doubt make her strength even more terrifying!
It wouldn't be impossible for her to surpass the Mahayana Realm!
His dark eyes grew serious, and he coldly uttered, "Heaven-grade Medium Martial Skill! Sword Soul!!"
He quickly raised his personal sword, and, astonishingly, a huge phantom wielding the same sword appeared behind him, also gripping a longsword radiating countless rays of light!
The massive spiritual power within his body was surging into this personal sword...
After reaching saturation, it emitted a "humming" sound...
The sonorous sword cry echoed throughout the entire room, immediately catching the attention of Mei Li, who was continuously absorbing blood!
Seemingly sensing that she couldn't withstand this attack, she immediately stopped and turned around, starting to flee at a high speed towards the back, clearly trying to escape the location...
Xu Sheng, who had already perfectly locked onto her, said coldly, "Think you can escape?"
"Slash!"
Almost the instant the word left his mouth, Xu Sheng and the phantom behind him charged out like cannonballs, instantly catching up to Mei Li!
Without any flourish, he decisively swung his personal sword,
and, without question, struck her accurately...
The terrifying force cut Mei Li's delicate body in half, igniting a burst of blinding white light...
When the light vanished, Mei Li's upper body, which lay on the ground with those beautiful eyes still locked onto Xu Sheng, coughed, "Cough cough--the Sect... will not... let you go..."
Not giving her the chance to continue, Xu Sheng immediately crushed her head with his foot, ending her life...
After casting a glance at her corpse, he remarked indifferently, "Noisy!"
