Hong Huang: I am Kong Xuan, the first person above the saints

Chapter 173 Why should I return what I got by my own ability?

"Are you willing to return the God-killing Spear to me?"

Shen Ni's spell casting was interrupted again, and his eyes fell on the God-killing Spear in Kong Xuan's hand.

"Return it to you?"

Shen Ni did not hear anything strange in Kong Xuan's tone. When he heard the words "return it to you", a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

However, the next moment, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Shen Ni, you and I both know that the spiritual treasures in this world are only obtained by those who are destined to obtain them. Now that the God-killing Spear is in my hand, it is naturally destined to be with me. Why are you forcing it?"

"Humph, ridiculous! The God-killing Spear is my companion spiritual treasure. It has been with me for countless years. How could it be destined to be with you?" Shen Ni glared at him.

Kong Xuan looked calm, the God-killing Spear in his hand shook slightly, and said: "But it is in my hands now. How could it be in my hands if it is not destined to be with me? Moreover, I got this God-killing Spear by my own ability, why should I return it to you?"

Shen Ni: “…”

This made so much sense that he was speechless.

"You fool me."

Shen Ni made a move instantly, and an endless tide of destruction flooded towards Kong Xuan. At the same time, a giant claw penetrated the tide of destruction and slammed towards the twenty-fourth-grade Green Lotus of Creation.

Although Kong Xuan delayed the time, he also completely angered Shen Ni.

Rumbling--

"blocked?"

There was first astonishment in Shen Ni's eyes, and then disbelief, because this was his full-strength attack.

“Shen Ni, you can’t do it! You have to use all your strength even to deal with a junior.” A voice came from the space submerged by the tide of destruction.

Faintly, Shen Ni saw a huge black tortoise standing in the tide of destruction. The tide of destruction hit the black tortoise's body like waves hitting the reefs, without leaving even a trace.

"Xuanwu, you replied so quickly." Shen Ni's face was gloomy.

"Of course not. How can we recover so quickly after being invaded by the evil spirit of the devil?" Xuanwu said calmly.

Shen Ni: “…”

He originally wanted to make a test, but after hearing what Xuanwu said, he didn't dare to try.

"Xiaohong, quickly summon the Vermillion Bird projection." Kong Xuan said to the Xuanniao (Phoenix).

Upon hearing this, Xuanniao summoned the Suzaku projection without any hesitation.

Shen Ni, who was still hesitating whether to attack Xuanwu, tore through the void space and escaped without any hesitation the moment he felt the breath of Suzaku.

Having been suppressed and sealed for endless years, Shen Ni now finally has a chance to escape. He doesn't want to be suppressed and sealed again.

Even if the Suzaku aura might be fake, he didn't want to take the gamble.

The most important thing now is to escape from this cage of nothingness.

"He has escaped."

After a few breaths, Xuanwu spoke. There was a hint of relief in his tone, but his expression was solemn.

His mission was to suppress Shen Ni, but now, Shen Ni escaped from him. Of course, Xuanwu knew very well that in his current state, he could not stop Shen Ni at all, and he could not even stop him by force.

Yes, Xuanwu has not fully recovered.

There was simply too much evil spirit from the devil in his body. Even though the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito had divided itself into billions of clones to speed up the process, it had only absorbed one percent of the evil spirit from the devil in his body.

"call--"

Hearing Xuanwu's words, Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xuanniao and said, "Collect the Suzaku projection!"

Summoning the Vermillion Bird projection also consumes a lot of energy from the Black Bird.

Xuanniao nodded and slowly put away the Suzaku projection, a trace of fatigue showing on her face. She was really a little overwhelmed to summon the Suzaku projection twice in a short period of time, especially since she was injured by the divine counterattack the first time she summoned the Suzaku projection.

Kong Xuan looked at Xuanniao with concern and said, "You go back to the Five Elements World to rest and recover your strength." Seeing Xuanniao nod, Kong Xuan waved his hand and put Xuanniao into the Five Elements World.

In the void space, only Kong Xuan and Xuanwu were left.

When the two looked at each other, there was a flash of strangeness in their eyes.

Kong Xuan always thought that Xuanwu was honest and steady, but he didn't expect that he was actually so sinister. Just one sentence scared Shen Ni so much that he dared not continue to attack.

In Xuanwu's eyes, Kong Xuan was equally sinister, even more sinister than him.

Therefore, at this moment, the two of them looked at each other with meaningful expressions in their eyes.

"After being invaded by the evil spirit of the devil for a long time, my brain doesn't work well anymore. But fortunately, Shen Ni is more deeply affected by the evil spirit of the devil, and his brain works even worse." Xuanwu shook his head.

Hearing this, Kong Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "He is indeed not very smart."

Shen Ni: Are you polite?
In other words, Shen Ni couldn't hear their conversation, otherwise he would definitely come back and fight them to the death.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a moment, the smile faded, and Xuanwu spoke again: "What do you think of Shen Ni's strength?"

"generally."

Kong Xuan gave his own evaluation, which is also his true evaluation in his heart.

It is true that Shen Ni is very powerful, but his own cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Considering the middle stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, Shen Ni's strength can no longer be said to be average, but very weak.

However, considering that his companion spiritual treasure was in his hands, Kong Xuan gave it a general evaluation.

"The Shen Ni in his prime was far stronger than the Shen Ni today, many times stronger." Xuanwu said.

"How much stronger is it exactly?" Kong Xuan asked curiously.

“Let me put it this way! Even if you sacrificed your innate treasure, the twenty-fourth-grade Green Lotus of Creation, you still can't withstand a move from Shen Ni in his prime.” Xuanwu said.

Kong Xuan: "..."

Is this metaphor really okay?

Knowing that he would be defeated in one move by Shen Ni in his prime, Kong Xuan didn't feel that surprised.

After all, Shen Ni is a powerful being that the four sacred beasts could not kill even when they joined forces, and could only seal him. It would be a little hard to explain if he only had the combat power he just displayed.

"So if you encounter Shen Ni in the future, don't think about fighting him head-on. Run away as soon as possible, run as fast as you can." Xuanwu warned seriously.

Kong Xuan: "..."

After going through so much trouble, it turns out that it was just to warn me and remind me to be careful of spiritual rebellion.

Kong Xuan really wanted to say, you can just say it directly.

"However, you don't have to worry too much. Although Shen Ni has escaped, he will not show up in the short term. He will definitely hide and recover his strength first, and will only take action after his strength is fully restored."

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "It seems that I have to achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible, so that I will not be afraid of the god Ni."

"Achieve the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"

Hearing this, Xuanwu glanced at Kong Xuan and said, "You are only a Daluo Jinxian. Don't even think about becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Break through to the Hunyuan Jinxian first!"

Xuanwu admitted that Kong Xuan's fighting ability was very strong, far beyond his cultivation level.

But the road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

He didn't think that Kong Xuan could go directly from Daluo Jinxian to Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in one step.

No living being can do that.
