Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 896 End of the battle
“Puff!!” The moment the world returned to normal, Ge Zhanxiong’s eyes bulged and he spurted out blood uncontrollably. He screamed in horror, “Impossible!!”

He couldn't believe that even though he had exceeded his limits and summoned the ancestor's divine consciousness, it didn't work.

I saw that the young man opposite was still covered in a layer of mysterious golden light and was not dead!

It was a complete defeat. The unprecedented huge blow and the huge damage caused by the sacrifice made his brain dazed for a moment. When he came to his senses and wanted to escape, he found a black light appeared in his eyes. Ye Xuan was already within reach.

“No!!” Ge Zhanxiong roared like a madman, and used all his last strength to burst out all his holy power to build a protective barrier in front of him, trying to buy a chance to escape. However, he had just turned half of his body when he heard a slight penetrating sound. His protective barrier was easily pierced, and then with a "swish", a palm pierced into his chest.

"Save... me..." Ge Zhanxiong showed despair and stretched out his hand to pull out the evil hand, but found that his body was completely out of control. Even his soul seemed to be nailed to death and unable to leave his body. He used up his last bit of strength to look in the direction of Pei Shenhuan, wanting to call for help, but the sound he made was so loud that even he could not hear it clearly. His body shrank rapidly like water, and in the blink of an eye he completely turned into a lifeless mummy.

"what!!!"

On the other side, Pei Shenhuan screamed in horror. Ge Zhanxiong's last look undoubtedly "betrayed" his position.

Sure enough, when he felt something was wrong, he saw Ye Xuan, whose martial arts aura was rising in the distance, turned around and looked over.

He still had that chillingly calm and indifferent expression, but there seemed to be a hint of bloodthirsty light in his eyes. Pei Shenhuan trembled all over and felt his hands and feet cold. In his eyes, Ye Xuan was already an absolute bloodthirsty demon. All his companions were dead, so how could he have the courage to fight again? Even the Saint King's thoughts failed to kill him, so he didn't need to think about it at all. Without saying a word, he turned around and tried to escape without hesitation.

While turning around, he did not forget to activate the killing formation to attack Ye Xuan again. He did not intend to do anything to Ye Xuan, but just wanted to buy a little chance for himself to escape.

As various kinds of spiritual energy rolled, countless phantoms of various monsters condensed and swarmed towards Ye Xuan with roars. Pei Shenhuan took the opportunity to fly away.

Through his spiritual sense, he found that Ye Xuan did not move to chase him, and he was immediately overjoyed, but then he heard an unusual buzzing sound coming from behind him, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of a black electric light shooting from behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh no..." Pei Shenhuan instinctively sensed the danger and was about to take out his magic weapon for defense, but he suddenly felt dizzy and then he knew nothing...

For Pei Shenhuan, who was already panic-stricken and had lost his will to fight, although his soul did not shatter and he died immediately after being hit by the spiritual attack launched by Ye Xuan, it was impossible for him to react immediately. It would take at least a few breaths for him to come back to his senses. Unfortunately, he no longer had this opportunity, because Ye Xuan had accelerated time, came behind him, and stabbed his palm into the back of his heart.

As expected, he turned into a mummy in the blink of an eye. Pei Shenhuan's death was not as painful as Ge Zhanxiong and others, because he died in a trance and probably didn't even feel anything.

……

"call……"

Only when he saw Pei Shenhuan's body falling to the ground did Ye Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The phantoms of monsters that swarmed around him posed no threat to him at all. While removing Gala's state, the black flames rolled outward, and all the real and fake attacks disappeared. Without Pei Shenhuan's control, the entire formation returned to calm.

He lowered his head and looked at himself carefully, then concentrated on sensing the situation in his body, and murmured thoughtfully: "It was a close call. The Saint King was too powerful. One of his thoughts was so terrifying. However, it was a close call. Phew, this time the bottleneck of the peak of the third heaven has been loosened. Perhaps, if I kill a few more saints or monsters, I can reach the fourth heaven of the saintly realm..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Xuan suddenly froze and then showed a look of astonishment.

"I...how could I have such a thought!!".

The sudden abnormal thought made Ye Xuan break out in a cold sweat. The idea just now appeared so naturally. When he found that his realm was about to break through again, it seemed natural for him to think about killing again.

It's not about killing the person who is seeking death and provoking you, but pure murder.

This thought was so terrifying that Ye Xuan, who had just come to his senses, was stunned for a long time.

"When did I become so cold and bloodthirsty?" Ye Xuan looked at his hands in doubt, feeling a sense of panic in his heart. He murmured, "Could it be that I have been blinded by killing without realizing it? I have killed too many people, so I have become numb?"

"Or... is it affected by some factor?" Ye Xuan frowned slightly, and subconsciously thought of the devil's thoughts. He pondered, "Or, am I relying too much on the devil's pupil soul?"

No matter what, Ye Xuan didn't want to become a cold-blooded murderer. Fortunately, it was just a thought that came to his mind, and he realized his mistake in time. After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan secretly comforted and warned himself that he must never have such thoughts again in the future...

After some self-examination, Ye Xuan shook his head, put aside these confusing thoughts, then looked up and looked around.

The battlefield was cleaned up. Ye Xuan skillfully destroyed the bodies and collected all the belongings of Pei Shenhuan and the other five people. After finishing these, he couldn't help but think of the thrilling battle before.

It was naturally not appropriate to count the spoils right away. Ye Xuan was silent for a long time. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he began to break the killing formation that was still in operation. The formation was no longer under Pei Shenhuan's control, and it had been greatly damaged in the previous battle. Therefore, Ye Xuan quickly found several flaws and completely broke the formation without much effort.

In fact, it was all thanks to Pei Shenhuan who separated Huo Miao in the beginning so that he could deal with Ye Xuan without interference. Then the people sent to kill Huo Miao were killed instantly by Ye Xuan. In the subsequent battles, they had no time to care about this little kid, so Huo Miao was trapped in an illusion in a corner on the edge of the formation and had no idea what was happening here. Ye Xuan could fight with all his strength without worrying about exposing the Devouring, Time Laws and the Holy Shield.

Therefore, when the formation was broken and the surrounding illusions disappeared, Huo Miao, who had been anxious, finally saw the situation around him clearly. However, all he could see at this time was the devastated ground and Ye Xuan, who was still alive.

"Sixth brother!" Seeing Ye Xuan, Huo Miao's anxious mood suddenly calmed down. He flew to Ye Xuan and asked anxiously, "How are you? Where are the enemies?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly: "I'm fine, as for the enemy...it has been dealt with."

“Solved, solved?!” Huo Miao’s expression froze for a moment, and then he stared in disbelief, “You mean… you killed Pei Shenhuan and Ge Zhanxiong?!”

"Yes, I killed him." Ye Xuan casually pointed to a few piles of ashes on the ground not far away, "I dealt with the bodies."

"..."

Huo Miao was stunned for a long time, looking at the pile of ashes over there without saying a word. In fact, when he saw Ye Xuan alive and didn't see the enemy just now, he already had this guess in his mind, but he just couldn't believe it. Now he heard Ye Xuan admit it himself, he was completely shocked. He knew that Ye Xuan didn't need to lie, because such a thing could be confirmed quickly as long as he left the trial ground, but, but this is really too scary! !
Ye Xuan glanced ahead and said, "Third brother, let's leave this place first. Let's find a place to rest after entering the forest. I was a little exhausted in the battle just now, and I need some time to recover."

"Ah? Oh... OK."

Huo Miao came back to his senses, nodded subconsciously, and then flew forward behind Ye Xuan in a trance.

……

At the foot of a small hill, the two of them each dug out a simple cave and then went in to rest.

Huo Miao was still immersed in the shock of Ye Xuan's independent killing of Pei Shenhuan, Ge Zhanxiong and others. He was even a little absent-minded in regulating his breathing. From time to time, he glanced in the direction of Ye Xuan, his eyes full of amazement and even awe.

As for Ye Xuan, it didn't take him long to replenish all the holy power he had consumed, and while regulating his breathing, he summarized the experience of this battle as usual.

This time, his greatest joy was the Holy Shield!
Ye Xuan was shocked when he saw the Holy King's thoughts, but luckily he was safe. The 'Holy Shield' is really a magical skill!

Next, Ye Xuan naturally had the time to count the spoils in a happy mood.

Ye Xuan was particularly looking forward to the storage rings of the five saints, especially the first ancestor of the Yinsha Sect and the saint-level formation master.

After every battle, the greatest joy is counting the items.

Ye Xuan is very poor now.
