Chapter 117: Soul Demon (Please Subscribe)_1
Hearing the words of the Yun Clan Patriarch, hesitation appeared on the cheeks of the Yun Family disciples...
One of the disciples exclaimed in alarm, "What? Are we going to use the Clan Protection Formation? If we do that and the other half of the cultivators in Central State find out, I'm afraid the problem will become serious!"
Another disciple spoke with disdain, "What's there to be afraid of? As long as we kill these three, wouldn't that be the end of it? After using the Clan Protection Formation, do we still need to fear them escaping? Besides, it's not only our Yun Family who knows this secret technique!"
"Relax, does everyone still not know how powerful the Clan Protection Formation is? Once activated, to wipe out these three would be a piece of cake!"
"But still..."
Although every disciple of the Yun Family was confident in their Clan Protection Formation, the secret of the formation absolutely could not be leaked, or else... it would cause a huge uproar throughout the entire Cultivation World!
For a moment, few obeyed the command to activate, caught between hesitation and struggle...
Seeing no response from behind, the Yun Clan Patriarch immediately turned his head and glared at the hesitating Yun Family disciples, barking sternly, "Enough talk, everyone! Activate the Clan Protection Formation immediately!!"
After his words echoed once again, the Yun Family disciples quickly came to their senses. Each one of them released a burst of Spirit Force Fluctuation, as gray auras floated around their bodies, connecting them to one another...
As more disciples of the Yun Family began to employ the "Clan Protection Formation," the entire Yun Family Mansion and the surrounding space were completely enveloped...
Seeing this, the Yun Clan Patriarch had no more hesitations, a gray aura also emitting from him...
For a moment, the sky, now shrouded in a gray haze, exuded a powerful oppressive force, sweeping towards Zhou Qingruo and the other two...
Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo used their spiritual powers to resist, but under this oppression, they could not help but take several steps back...
The former furrowed his brows, "This... this strong evil aura?? Could it be that this so-called Clan Protection Formation is actually a martial technique used by demon cultivators! And it looks like the whole family has practiced this technique!"
Simply put, aside from Xu Sheng and the other two, not a single person from the Mo Family present was anything but a demon cultivator!!
Zhou Qingruo, who was highly sensitive to the aura of demon cultivators, nodded affirmatively, "Yes! This evil power is definitely that of demon cultivators! I never imagined that in this part of Central State, an entire family of demon cultivators would exist without being discovered!"
By the time she finished speaking, a few drops of cold sweat had already appeared on her forehead...
The danger level of demon cultivators was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators!
At that moment, Xu Sheng, who had been silent, interrupted her, "Qingruo, you're mistaken on that point!"
Seeing that Xu Sheng was not joking, Zhou Qingruo's amber beautiful eyes flickered several times, "Hmm? Xu Sheng, do you mean these people of the Yun Family are not demon cultivators?"
Duanmu Lian also cast a puzzled look...
With such a strong evil aura emanating from these people of the Yun Family, how could they possibly not be demon cultivators!
Xu Sheng shook his head and explained, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, you have misunderstood. These people of the Yun Family are indeed demon cultivators, but what I meant to say is that in the current state of Central State, demon cultivators are practically found in every place!"
Indeed, as Xu Sheng said, the present Central State was the polar opposite of the Central State they had been in before they arrived!
The former's composite strength was much greater than that of the latter, for the cultivators here almost all practiced as demon cultivators, employing various crooked and evil methods!
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo's faces both revealed expressions of shock...
They simply couldn't believe what Xu Sheng had said, but the thick evil aura before their eyes left them no choice but to accept it!
Miss Lian swallowed hard and said blankly, "How could this be? Demon Cultivators, who have already deviated from humanity, aren't they supposed to be eliminated by all? How could they be allowed to grow so wildly!"
Zhou Qingruo pursed her lips, her gaze intently fixed on the Yun Clan members ahead, who were continuously emitting an evil aura!
"Even if we don't want to believe it, it's no longer possible! The entire clan consists of Demon Cultivators; it's truly the biggest joke under the heavens!"
Although it was impossible to eradicate all Demon Cultivators, those encountered at this moment certainly could not be spared!
Thinking this, the grip on her personal sword tightened and a keen sword's hum continuously resonated…
When the Yun Clan Patriarch saw Xu Sheng and the others still being able to ignore their presence and converse among themselves under this vast evil aura, he felt a burning pain in his face…
With a face full of anger, he shouted, "Humph! To dare to humiliate me at the brink of death!"
After a pause, he continued, "Celestial-grade Inferior Martial Technique, Soul Devouring Technique!"
It was barely discernible that all Yun Clan members, including him, had their pupils turn deathly white following those words, as if they were puppets on strings...
But it wasn't over, their souls within began to grow restive, forcefully bursting out of their bodies and transforming into ghastly Soul Demons with ferocious visages...
Just by lightly sensing them, one could tell that those floating in midair emitted not the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Power...
The Soul Demon transformed by the Yun Clan Patriarch stared fixedly at Xu Sheng, cruelly commanding, "Go... Shred them to pieces!! Let them know that my Yun Clan is not to be trifled with!!"
The surrounding Soul Demons, upon hearing his command, let out a wave of exhilarating howls...
Immediately after, they precisely targeted Xu Sheng and the other two, rushing out with ghostly speed...
Watching the hordes of Soul Demons before her, Duanmu Lian couldn't help feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp...
With a grim expression, she said, "Are they... forcibly expelling their souls? Aren't they afraid of damaging their souls??"
Zhou Qingruo frowned slightly, speaking gravely, "These Soul Demons seem to utilize spiritual power attacks!
But before she could finish her sentence, she saw a Soul Demon approaching Duanmu Lian's front and immediately cried out, "Lian, be careful!!"
Without any hesitation, Zhou Qingruo promptly grabbed Duanmu Lian's wrist and hurriedly retreated several steps to the rear, barely avoiding the high-speed charge of the Soul Demon...
If hit by even one of the Soul Demons and losing the ability to move, what followed would be... a swarm of Soul Demons!
That level of torment was enough to cause one's spirit to collapse!
Seeing that Duanmu Lian and another had successfully evaded, the Soul Demons then locked onto Xu Sheng, swarming towards him like a wave of hornets...
Xu Sheng narrowed his beautiful eyes and warned the others, "Qingruo, be careful, and make sure not to let the Soul Demons touch you!"
Although these Soul Demons were not strong, they were not to be underestimated!
