Chapter 572 Slaying the Scorpion-Tailed Evil Youth and Seizing the God-Slaying Flag
"court death!"

Upon seeing the Soul-Destroying Spear approaching, a fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the scorpion-tailed, eerie youth.

He then waved the God-Slaying Flag in his hand once more.

hum!
In an instant, the entire God-Slaying Banner swelled to a size of several miles in radius, sweeping straight towards the black-gold dragon transformed from the Soul-Slaying Spear, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

At this moment, the black-gold dragon seemed to sense an extreme crisis and trembled slightly.

However, what no one noticed was that behind the black-gold dragon, a white-gold banner suddenly transformed into a large spear and stabbed towards the back of the scorpion-tailed demon youth.

boom!
The void exploded.

The black-gold dragon formed from the Soul-Destroying Spear let out a mournful cry.

Its entire massive body suddenly became covered with countless cracks.

Finally, with a whoosh, it scattered into streaks of light and vanished.

At the same time, the scorpion-tailed eerie youth, who was exuding a cold aura, suddenly sensed a deadly crisis surging from behind him.

This caused his expression to change drastically.

He instinctively turned around, and his pupils contracted rapidly.

"That is?"

In that instant, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Amidst the shock, a name instinctively flashed through my mind.

"The Flag of Annihilation!"

"Damn it!
This guy actually obtained the Body-Destroying Banner, which corresponds to the God-Destroying Banner!

Boom!

Without time to think, the scorpion-tailed demon youth immediately activated the God-Slaying Banner in his hand with all his might, trying to use it to resist the attack of the Body-Slaying Banner.

However, the God-Slaying Banner in his hand had not yet been initially refined by him.

In addition, the God-Slaying Banner had just unleashed its power once.

At this moment, instead of immediately obeying the scorpion-tailed demon youth's command, it trembled slightly in his hand, showing signs of breaking free from his control and flying towards the annihilation flag.

This turn of events was clearly something the scorpion-tailed, strange young man had not anticipated.

He felt a sudden surge of panic.

He clearly understood that only a treasure of the same level could withstand the attack from a semi-immortal treasure that shared the same origin as the God-Slaying Banner.

He alone is simply not enough to contend with them, and he would even have difficulty protecting himself.

The powerful Starry Sky Clan Mahayana cultivators he killed earlier with the God-Slaying Banner, and the Holy Land Mahayana cultivators he severely injured with a single banner, are the best proof of this.

Boom!

Seeing the threat of the Annihilation Flag drawing ever closer, the scorpion-tailed demon youth could no longer care about anything else.

A large amount of primordial blood surged up around him instantly.

It contained his original life essence, which he then injected into the God-Slaying Banner, hoping to use it to block this wave of attacks from the God-Slaying Banner.

hum!
However, to his surprise, an extremely pure power of rules suddenly surged from the incoming Annihilation Banner.

The power of the rules landed on the flag of the God-Slaying Banner, briefly severing the connection between the scorpion-tailed demon youth and the God-Slaying Banner.

In that instant, the Annihilation Flag suddenly swept across the body of the scorpion-tailed, eerie youth.

"Uh……"

The scorpion-tailed, eerie young man's eyes widened immediately.

His face was filled with resentment and bitterness.

He had clearly obtained the Half-Immortal Treasure God-Slaying Banner, thinking that he could dominate this lower realm with it, but before long, he was about to perish completely.

Ji Haoyuan would not give him the slightest chance.

Then the spear formed from the Annihilation Flag suddenly trembled.

The next moment, the scorpion-tailed demonic youth was instantly shattered into a cloud of blood mist. His primordial spirit and true essence were completely annihilated.

Both body and spirit perished.

Wow!
It was only at this moment that everyone present suddenly came to their senses.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Haoyuan also possessed a semi-divine treasure.

Moreover, that semi-immortal treasure is the same as the God-Slaying Banner, the Body-Slaying Banner.

However, their gazes soon fell upon the now ownerless God-Slaying Banner.

Everyone's eyes revealed eagerness, even greed.

That's a semi-divine treasure, and a top-tier one at that.

With it, while they might not be able to roam freely among those below the level of immortals, there certainly wouldn't be many people who could rival them.

Most importantly, treasures like these, which have reached the level of semi-divine treasures, have the power to suppress the fortune of an entire region.

If possible, no one would give up so easily.

brush!
At that moment, two Mahayana practitioners present could not suppress their greed and immediately flew towards the God-Slaying Flag.

Halfway there, the power of the rules around him surged, trying to grab the God-Slaying Banner and seize it.

Upon seeing this, a hint of indifference appeared in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

He was not polite.

The annihilation flag in his hand trembled violently.

The next moment, the two Mahayana Saint Kings who were flying towards the God-Slaying Banner were sent flying backward, spitting blood.

brush!
At the same time, a large hand, shimmering with golden light, suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the God-Slaying Banner.

"Nanhua, you..."

Upon seeing this, the two Mahayana cultivators who had been sent flying backwards spitting blood by Ji Haoyuan's attack immediately changed their expressions slightly.

This caused Ji Haoyuan's gaze to turn directly to them, and he said without any politeness:
"When this God-Slaying Banner was in the hands of those people from the Divine Ruins, why didn't you have such courage?"
This item is now my spoils of war, yet you dare to try and take it from me.

Do you really think that just because we're on the same side, I wouldn't dare to kill you?

These words immediately caused the two men's expressions to change again.

Everyone else present fell silent at this moment.

Clearly, although they envied Ji Haoyuan's opportunity, and were even somewhat jealous.

However, they also understood that what Ji Haoyuan had just said was indeed without any flaws.

Normally, whoever kills the enemy owns all of their belongings.

Now that Ji Haoyuan has killed the scorpion-tailed demon youth, everything on the scorpion-tailed demon youth should rightfully belong to him.

Moreover, there is one more crucial point.

That's what just happened; Ji Haoyuan practically saved all of their lives.

As a result, not only did you not thank him, but you even tried to take a piece of his spoils.

This kind of thing is unacceptable no matter where it happens.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Ji Haoyuan had killed the two of them on the spot just now, no one else would have been able to find any fault with him.

As the two people gradually calmed down, they clearly realized this as well.

This made them feel a slight tightness in their chests, and they quickly spoke up to apologize to Ji Haoyuan.

"I apologize, Fellow Daoist Nanhua. We were truly blinded by the treasure just now. I hope you won't take it to heart."

We will forever remember this life-saving grace, and we will certainly not hesitate to help you if needed in the future.
