Chapter 372 Encounter with the Divine Lightning Sect Again, Do Not Bully the Young and Poor! (4K)
"Huff, huff..."
Dugu Aotian panted heavily, hiding in a cave while still clutching a talisman in his hand.
Several Demon Sect elders skimmed over the cave from above, their divine sense scanning the area below repeatedly, yet failed to detect the concealed presence of Dugu Aotian and eventually left.
"The Xuan Yang Old Ancestor is indeed a Great Demon Head at the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm; I'm still not his opponent. To think that casually exterminating a Demon Sect would provoke the Xuan Yang Old Ancestor."
After the Demon Sect elders left, Dugu Aotian sat down to heal his wounds.
He had been pursued and attacked by the Great Demon, Xuan Yang Old Ancestor, and had fought him along the way, but Dugu Aotian still was no match for the Xuan Yang Old Ancestor of the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
If it weren't for the numerous talismans and immortal pills gifted by Lu Changsheng, he might not have been able to escape the pursuit of the Xuan Yang Old Ancestor.
While Dugu Aotian focused on healing, Xiao Fan was also working on healing his wounds elsewhere.
Xiao Fan had slain a Heavenly Immortal Realm tiger demon and consequently was injured in the great battle.
Suddenly, a few figures landed.
These figures wore Daoist robes with a five-colored auspicious cloud symbol on their chests, one of which was a woman in a light aqua-colored dress, her black hair draping over her shoulders and holding an immortal sword on her back.
"Divine Lightning Sect? Murong Lan?"
Xiao Fan had descended the mountain on his master's orders and did not expect to run into people from Divine Lightning Sect here.
"Xiao Fan?"
Murong Lan also recognized Xiao Fan, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
The Divine Lightning Sect elders fixed their gaze on Xiao Fan: "Isn't this boy a disciple of Lu Changsheng from Jing Long Immortal Temple? What is he doing here?"
"The Sect Master wishes to take that final step and needs the Dragon Emperor's Blood. If we capture this boy alive, we will surely draw out Lu Changsheng and capture his other disciples in one fell swoop."
The gazes of several Divine Lightning Sect elders on Xiao Fan gradually became ominous.
Xiao Fan, being a disciple of Lu Changsheng, meant that capturing him alive would surely bring Lu Changsheng to his rescue, and then they could also capture Ning Qianqian, who possessed the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and present them to the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect for favor.
Xiao Fan sensed the hostility from the Divine Lightning Sect elders and immediately consumed an elixir pill, urgently regaining his true qi.
Murong Lan hesitated, "We are here on orders to eradicate the demon tiger that attacked our branch temple. It's not appropriate to cause additional trouble."
"Niece, you are mistaken. Capturing this person alive and bringing him back will surely be rewarded by the Sect Master."
"Although this person disappeared for a time, his cultivation is, at most, that of an Earth Immortal. For several of us, capturing him alive will be easy."
The elders of the Divine Lightning Sect were very confident in their cultivation and believed it shouldn't be a problem to capture such an insignificant junior.
"Come over here."
An elder of the Divine Lightning Sect initiated the attack. With a slight exertion of his cultivation, a large hand formed of true qi reached for Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan clenched his fingers into a fist, clashing against the large hand forcefully.
The terrifying force of the punch dispersed the true qi, causing the Divine Lightning Sect elder to grunt in surprise and stumble back two steps, his inner energy roiling.
Xiao Fan was stronger than he had anticipated.
Murong Lan was shocked, as she hadn't seen Xiao Fan for many years, and his cultivation had reached such heights.
Murong Lan's talent was not bad, having reached the ninth layer of Earth Immortal within Divine Lightning Sect. However, Xiao Fan displayed strength that was at least that of a ninth layer Earth Immortal.
"Elder Sun, what's going on? Could it be that you can't even take on this boy?"
"This person is more troublesome than I imagined, but I will give it my all."
Sun, the Divine Lightning Sect elder, no longer underestimated Xiao Fan. He summoned an immortal sword, holding it in his hand.
"Boy, today you will have the honor to witness the Sacred Sword Technique—Dawn White Rainbow!"
Elder Sun's immortal sword gathered endless sword qi, blazing like a white rainbow and slashing towards Xiao Fan with boundless sword qi.
Xiao Fan's right hand opened, and an Asura Blood Spear appeared.
"Great Wilderness Skybreak!"
Xiao Fan vigorously shook the Asura Blood Spear, confronting the sword qi of the Divine Lightning Sect elder.
The Asura Blood Spear pierced through the dazzling sword qi like cutting through thorns.
The scattered, sharp sword qi parted on both sides but some still struck Xiao Fan, who, with his War Heaven Tyrant Body, endured the blows!
Lu Changsheng had provided his disciples with Body Tempering Elixir crafted from countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, rendering their physiques extremely robust.
"How is this possible!"
Elder Sun saw the piercing spear light break through layer upon layer of sword qi, arriving right before him.
The Asura Blood Spear stabbed into Elder Sun's chest.
"Pfft!"
Even the Heavenly Immortal body of Elder Sun was severely injured, as he spat out a large mouthful of blood and his complexion turned pale.
"Elder Sun is a recent breakthrough talent to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, yet he couldn't even withstand a single strike from the opponent."
"He must be at the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"
The other Divine Lightning Sect elders were utterly taken aback.
They suddenly realized that they had underestimated Xiao Fan.
"He's actually gotten stronger than me. I used to think he was nothing but trash, but now..."
Murong Lan was filled with regret.
Who could have thought that the Xiao Family scion, who had once plateaued at the Dao Palace Realm, would become a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert?
Murong Lan, considered a prodigy by the Divine Lightning Sect, was to this day only a ninth layer Earth Immortal.
The Divine Lightning Sect elders exchanged glances. The opportunity to earn favor from their Sect Master was before them today. If they could learn the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor's descendants from Xiao Fan, the Sect Master might even reward them with superior ultimate treasures.
"Attack!"
All six Divine Lightning Sect elders simultaneously brought out their magical treasures, attacking Xiao Fan from all sides.
Various powerful magical treasures assailed him, causing the space to tremble and spiritual energy to erupt thunderously.
Xiao Fan, with the strength of one, wielded a mid-tier ultimate treasure, the Asura Blood Spear, and fought alone against six Divine Lightning Sect elders without being outmatched.
Murong Lan grew more and more astonished.
She soon noticed something.
Find adventures at empire
They had come on this mission to eradicate a third-layer Heavenly Immortal Realm tiger demon.
Demonic qi lingered nearby, but the tiger demon was nowhere to be seen, with only Xiao Fan present. Could it be that the tiger demon had already been slain by Xiao Fan?
