Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 117 The Demon-Slaying Queen

Yang Qisheng waited anxiously and patiently for his chance to make a move; he needed to be certain of his success before he could make a desperate attempt.

Time passed slowly, and the wait was agonizing. Suddenly, the ground shook violently outside, and the entire Youquan Cave trembled. Water droplets even jumped up from the surface of the pool!
Yang Qisheng was taken aback. He didn't know what was happening outside, but despite the commotion, Mu Canzhuang remained sitting motionless on the stone bed like a stone statue.

Mu Canzhuang must have reached the most critical moment in her cultivation. She either dares not move or cannot move, but in any case, her spirit must be in disarray, which is the best time to make a move.

Even those who follow the orthodox Xuanmen sect, who emphasize cultivating their minds, accumulating the five virtues, and achieving mental concentration and calmness, are prone to going astray in such situations. Those from unorthodox sects and heretical paths are even more mentally unstable and sensitive.

Yang Qisheng had no time to think and immediately unleashed the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel!

The treasure transformed into a golden light, spinning rapidly, its electric wheel shooting out as it flew down from the niche and struck Mu Canzhuang's head!
When Mu Canzhuang was attacked, a large amount of yellow ghost fire immediately appeared on her body. At the same time, rings of cold flames surged in the surrounding air and gathered on the top of her head, where Yellow Spring Ghost Talismans appeared, protecting her entire body.

Her hair was adorned with two jade phoenix hairpins, which then flew up automatically, spewing out a large number of sparks that crossed upwards, attempting to catch the golden wheel.

However, the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel was extremely sharp. After only a brief pause, Yang Qisheng exhaled five-colored true energy, causing the golden wheel to flash brightly, slightly lift up, and then accelerate downwards.

In an instant, starlight burst forth, green and yellow ghost fire scattered in all directions, all the Yellow Spring Ghost Talismans collapsed, and a circle of sharp white blades around the golden wheel was blocked by the two phoenix hairpins. In an instant, it spun thousands of times and immediately cut the phoenix hairpins into four pieces!
Then, the golden wheel accelerated downwards, like a golden knife cutting tofu, first splitting Mu Canzhuang's head in two, and then continuing downwards, splitting her body in half as well.

Mu Canzhuang's body tilted to the left and right, and a heart-wrenching cry of an infant came from her cavity. Her primordial spirit and soul were merging with the baby in her womb, and then returned to the Yellow Court between her chest and abdomen.

At this critical moment, the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel flew in and cleaved her body and nascent soul in two!

She wasn't without defenses; the pair of phoenix hairpins on her head were her most treasured possessions, carried with her for many years. In battle, she could easily defeat her enemies by simply wielding one of them, instantly killing anyone below the Golden Core stage. Even Golden Core cultivators, if they didn't have a matching magic weapon, would have no choice but to flee at the first sign of trouble, or they would suffer losses.

If both hairpins are used together, even a Nascent Soul stage Earth Immortal would find it difficult to withstand.

The old man with black hair who came earlier was killed by Cui Wushe when she used the formation to fight him head-on, and then she used these two golden hairpins to launch a sneak attack from behind!
She never expected to encounter such a supreme treasure of the Xuanmen sect as the Roaring Tiger Golden Wheel, which not only protects against all evil but is also the nemesis of all evil.

In a normal battle, with her controlling the situation and empowering it with her magic, Yang Qisheng, even with the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel, would not be able to defeat her two golden hairpins.

Unfortunately, this time it was Jinchai who acted on her own initiative, and she was restrained by Huxiao Jinlun, so she was destroyed in one fell swoop, and she herself was almost killed on the spot.

The physical body was destroyed, and the nascent soul was not yet fully formed, still just a mass of blood energy. It was split into two by the Tiger Roaring Golden Wheel. They screamed and flew left and right in the air, trying to merge back together.

Yang Qisheng quickly intervened to stop it.

He figured that the Five Elements Sword Fiend was far too weak compared to the opponent's cultivation level, and would definitely be useless, just like Lu Yichao before, who would collapse with a wave of his hand.

The Thousand Swords Gourd is also a kind of unorthodox and unorthodox method, so it is unlikely to be effective.

Only the Dragon and Tiger Treasures could deal with Mu Canzhuang. With his left hand, he manipulated the Roaring Tiger Golden Wheel, while with his right hand, he held the Dragon's Roar Jade Brush. With a flick of his wrist, a spiritual treasure talisman was created, which flew out and transformed into a golden light wall, blocking the two streams of Mu Canzhuang's nascent soul blood energy in the center of the cave. Mu Canzhuang's primordial spirit was also cut in two, and her three souls and seven spirits were separated, each attached to one of the two wisps of blood energy.

They all rushed towards the center, trying to reunite, but Yang Qisheng's cultivation level was too low, and the spiritual treasure talisman could only slightly block them.

However, the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel was still more powerful. Yang Qisheng waved his jade pen and continuously released spiritual treasures and golden talismans, throwing them at one of the blood energies as if they were free. Then he used the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel to frantically cut the other one.

He repeatedly cut a mass of blood energy into hundreds of strands of blood demons, and before they could recombine, he initiated another transformation of the Tiger Roaring Golden Wheel.

The golden wheel flew in the air, forming a golden cloud of light in the middle. A white tiger's head squeezed out from the cloud, opened its mouth and sucked in hundreds of streams of blood evil.

The remaining half of the Nascent Soul blood energy was terrified when it saw this scene.

She didn't know what the other party was up to, only that the Tiger Roaring Golden Wheel was a treasure of the orthodox Xuanmen sect. She guessed that a top expert from Taiyi Palace had come, so she dared not fight anymore. With a scream, she fled quickly out of the cave.

Yang Qisheng hurriedly picked up his brush and tapped it three times, sending out three magical golden talismans to seal the cave entrance and block the other party's path. However, he was still a step too late. The other party transformed into a streak of blood energy and flew away like lightning, disappearing in an instant.

Yang Qisheng was also covered in a cold sweat after taking down the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel. He was half excited and half joyful. No one could remain calm after defeating a powerful demon like Mu Canzhuang, who had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, with his level of cultivation.

Although he relied entirely on the power of the treasure and launched a surprise attack when the opponent was at the most crucial moment of cultivation, and he did not actually kill the opponent, it was still extremely rare to be able to cripple him!

No one knows what's happening outside, but no matter what, we can't stay in Youquan Cave any longer. Mu Canzhuang will definitely go to meet up with Cui Wushe. If we're trapped here when they return, we'll surely die.

He hurriedly flew down from the cave niche, still using the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf for concealment, and quickly left the Nether Spring Cave, heading elsewhere along the passage.

He didn't have a specific goal, but felt that he should first figure out what had happened with that loud tremor, so he headed towards the place where there were many ghosts.

Outside, chaos and noise reigned, with hordes of evil spirits and ghosts flying about, while others maintained order, guiding them back to their proper places.

Yang Qisheng had Xiaoqian use the Soul-Snatching Rope to capture another vengeful ghost that was maintaining order. They put it into the Black Heart Lamp and then found a secluded place to interrogate it severely.

The vengeful ghost quickly submitted and answered all questions.

It turned out that other people had indeed infiltrated the cave, and the explosion just now occurred in the cave where Cui Wushe was cultivating elixirs.

Due to the lack of essence and energy, the inner core of the Ghost Path is difficult to refine. It requires a large amount of external pills and medicines to replenish and assist it. Over the years, Cui Wushe has accumulated a large number of herbs and refined many spiritual pills. In particular, he has put in a lot of effort to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Now, all his hard work has been destroyed in one fell swoop. All six interconnected alchemy caves have collapsed, and the alchemy furnaces and cauldrons inside have been blown to pieces!
