Chapter 48: One Sword Beheads a Person (Additional Chapter, Vote Requested!)

  The four elders looked at each other with admiration, Chu Tu's face was full of respect, and he bowed his hands to Qiao Qiao, then walked towards the treasure bowl with a cold smile.

  But at this time, the three elders who were holding back Meng Xuan could no longer hold on. Although he was a true energy ninefold, he couldn't withstand the long-term input of true energy into the formation diagram like this. He was considering whether to withdraw the formation diagram and fight Meng Xuan to the death. Suddenly, he found that Meng Xuan's face in the formation diagram suddenly changed, revealing an extremely terrified expression.

  "Is this kid finally unable to hold on?"

  The three elders were overjoyed and felt a huge weight lifted off their minds.

  "Ah..."

  Meng Xuan suddenly jumped up, his hand holding the Zhan Nie sword wildly swinging, as if chopping at invisible enemies.

  Then he chopped down a couple of times, and it seemed that he didn't even have the strength to swing his sword. His body curled up into a ball, shivering with fear.

  "Don't come closer... don't come closer... don't throw me into the magma..."

  "Haha, this kid's mental state has finally been shattered..."

  The three old men burst out laughing, manipulated the spell, retrieved the formation chart, and then raised their true energy, about to slap out with a palm.

  At the moment when a cultivator's mind and spirit are broken open, their true energy disperses, which is also their weakest moment.

  Three elders killed their opponents who were intimidated by the formation chart with just one move.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the array map was withdrawn, and Meng Xuan's figure also appeared. He was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, his spirit calm and his appearance majestic. His hands were clasped together, quickly forming a strange hand seal. Because of his speed in forming the seal, it seemed to the three elders that his ten fingers had pulled out strands of residual shadows, as if a huge illusionary realm was being woven out.

  "This kid, why is he different from all the others who were intimidated..."

  The three elders had this thought flash through their minds in a split second.

  At this moment, Meng Xuan's seal had been formed, his eyes opened wide, and a Sanskrit sound came out of his mouth: "Humph!"

  Suddenly, a surge of vital energy erupted around him, and an evil spirit took shape behind his back, its eyes fixed menacingly on the three elders.

  What a pity!

  A wave of unbearable sorrow surged into the hearts of the three elders, and for a moment, he only felt that his heart was dead, and even lost himself.

  This method of directly attacking the enemy with a mournful intention is even more severe than their formation.

  Illusions only attack people's senses with hallucinations, then evoke the emotions of fear, pain, despair and other emotions hidden in their hearts.

  And Tai Ai In is a direct attack on the opponent's mind with strong sorrowful intent, simple and straightforward, yet powerful.

  "Whoosh..."

  In the instant when the three elders' eyes were distracted, Meng Xuan suddenly rose to his feet, and with a single turn of his sword in his palm, he swept across the necks of the three elders.

  "Hmm"

  Three old men's necks burst with blood, and one head was blown up more than three feet high.

  Meng Xuan kicked his corpse flying with one foot, avoiding the splashing of fresh blood, and then reached out to grab the hair bun on his head, holding it in his hand.

  Three elders attempted to use the Hundred Ghosts Night Marching Chart to shatter his mental state, but they never could have imagined that he, who had been tempering his mental state day and night with the Great Sorrow Seal, possessed a mental strength far surpassing ordinary people. This kind of illusion technique was fundamentally unable to harm him in the slightest. If not for his concern about the solitary Bao Pan outside as well as the villagers suffering at the hands of the Corpse Refining Sect, he could have continued sitting within the illusion, treating it as a trial for himself.

  He was in the formation, and it was enough for him to be cautious with his mind, while the three elders needed to continuously supply true energy to maintain the operation of the formation.

  In this case, it is certain that the three elders will be unable to hold on.

  However, due to concerns about the outside situation, Meng Xuan still decided to pretend to be heartbroken and deceive the three elders into opening the formation chart. When he sensed that the illusion in the formation had disappeared, he began to seal it with his Great Sorrow Seal, just as the three elders opened their formation chart, they were precisely subdued by his seal.

  But the four elders were thinking of a temporary way to seal him, surrounding the Taiyin Corpse Evil.

  Na Bao Pen cried and wailed, having only a body of magical power, but not daring to resist at all, just looking at the baby in Tu Jiao Jiao's hand.

  "Then use the Soul-Extracting Bell to deal with him..."

  The four elders deliberated for a while, then took out a bright yellow golden bell and walked towards the treasure basin with a sly smile.

  "With a powerful and boundless demonic body at your disposal, are you just going to stay there and let others take advantage of you?"

  Suddenly, a resentful voice sounded, and two people turned their heads at the same time to see Meng Xuan's tall figure.

  "Your Highness..."

  The treasure basin wailed, like a bullied daughter-in-law who finally saw her tall and strong husband.

  "Three Elders..."

  Tu Jiao Jiao and the four elders were shocked and lost their color, but it was because they saw the head of the third elder being held in Meng Xuan's hand.

  They never thought that the three elders who were supposed to win would be beheaded by Meng Xuan, and their heads would be cut off.

  "Sir, whatever you do, don't make any rash moves... they'll kill that infant..."

  Bao Pan Guo didn't disappoint as a pig teammate and actually called out first, fearing that Meng Xuan would enrage Tu Jiao Jiao.

  "Ah... okay, you'd better not come any closer, or I'll kill this kid..."

  Tú Jiāo was reminded by Bǎo Péng and hastily took the infant to threaten Mèng Xuān.

  However, her tone was also uncertain, she could coax a baby into a treasure basin, but it's not certain that she could coax Meng Xuan.

  "Is it because of this baby that they were taken down?" Meng Xuan looked at Bao Pen with a helpless expression.

  Bao Pen nodded reluctantly: "Yes, they said... I didn't listen to them, and they killed this infant..."

  Meng Xuan helplessly shook his head and said, "Then I'll teach you a move today!"

  He said, walking straight to Tú Jiāo, and calmly said: "A life for a life, let this baby go, I will allow one of you to leave this village!"

  "What?"

  Tu Jiao Jiao and the four elders were all stunned, while Bao Pen was even more shocked, his eyes wide with amazement.

  "Jiao Jiao, don't fall for his trick, he doesn't dare to make a move..."

  The four elders took a big gulp, seemingly wanting to take action, but facing Meng Xuan who had just beheaded the three elders, they were somewhat short of breath.

  "Who exactly are you going to exchange this baby's life for? You'd better decide quickly, I don't have much patience..."

  Meng Xuan slightly furrowed his brow and said, "On the premise of not harming the infant's life, I have at least a 70% chance of killing you. It's just that I don't want to take this risk. If you really want to test my patience, then so be it. I'll have no choice but to take a gamble. Even if I fail, these two will still accompany the infant in death, which can be considered his good fortune. In the next life, he'll definitely be reborn into a wealthy and noble family!"

  Meng Xuan said as he raised the Reverse Slayer sword in his hand, gently caressing it, as if ready to strike at any moment.

  In fact, if it were in peacetime, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Da'ai could just reveal his true strength and take people by force directly.

  He had just cast the Great Sorrow Seal and consumed a lot of true energy, so he was somewhat out of breath.

  "Four Elders, take care of yourselves..."

  Tu Jiao suddenly threw the baby to Meng Xuan and turned around to escape, laughing: "You can hold onto this little thief for me, when I return to Lian Shi Sect, I will definitely tell Granny to let him avenge you..."
