CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 279 ALL TRICKS!

In an instant, the surroundings fell into a standstill as the Gu worms, formed into a wall, rushed forward like mad!

The terrifying scene made one’s heart tremble.

The pitch-black Gu worms were like ravenous hyenas, each swarm about a meter in size, transformed into bodies, heads, and sharp teeth, directly pouncing on the middle of Yin Xue upon receiving orders.

Roaring, resentful, violently shaking but still being gnawed by the Gu worms, her body torn apart, when the Blood Escape Technique turned into blood mist or fluid for an instant, other Gu worms immediately rushed forward to feast on the blood. In front of the old clan leader of Cen Family Village, she seemed like a toy to be easily kneaded.

The murky eyes were calm; such a scene was all too familiar to him.

Blood cultivation is indeed the most superior cultivation method, and the Blood Demon Curse ranks among the top in Earth Rank cultivation techniques. Countless people use the pretense of subduing demons and monsters, yet in truth, they merely covet this technique.

In his era, a blood cultivator who now enjoyed great fame inherited this technique. Yin Xue was initially a child refined as blood food, responsible for serving the blood cultivator day and night.

But during one refining process, an accident occurred. It’s unknown whether Yin Xue was destined or had foreseen that the master she served would go to great lengths to refine all the surrounding children for the success of the blood technique.

In the end, the original inheritor died mysteriously, his Divine Soul obliterated, his flesh and soul all turned into nourishment, and thereafter, Yin Xue’s name resonated throughout the martial world.

Some say she is the reincarnation of that evil cultivator, claiming the failure of refinement and death by backlash were merely excuses to abandon her body when the original body’s life span was about to end, unable to break through. However, none knew the real truth.

But thereafter, Yin Xue achieved the realm of Void Refinement within a mere hundred years, using the lives of an entire town as bait to deceive countless disciples from reputable sects to come for support.

Then, she leveraged the flesh directly to break into the realm of Integration, and across the entire world, her cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.

During her domination of the world, Cen Yongsheng was not yet the Family Head of Cen Family Village. At that time, Yin Xue even exceeded Cen Yongsheng in cultivation, otherwise she couldn’t have told the old man words like "regret" or the sort.

But ill fortune may strike, and after committing countless vile deeds, one is bound to encounter misfortune on a dark path.

During that period, Liu Jian happened to be nearby. Upon learning that sect disciples were murdered, he pursued the killer across nearly a thousand miles overnight, rendering Yin Xue unable to retaliate.

At that time, Liu Jian’s realm was similar to Yin Xue, with Liu Jian at most slightly ahead, but their combat abilities weren’t on the same level. The Purple Cloud Divine Sword Technique completely minced Yin Xue’s body, seventy-two astounding Sword Qi slashed her life into oblivion.

Even though she managed to escape with her life through the Blood Escape Technique, her soul’s essence was damaged, and her essence blood was burnt out. Even if she managed to rebuild her body, she couldn’t restore to her peak condition, stuck at the critical point of Integration realm.

"That old bastard Liu Jian truly struck fiercely, even more ruthless than his young disciple."

Watching Yin Xue torn to pieces, the old man thought so, for elders tend to reminisce as they age, and he was no exception.

"Back then, the two realms were similar, never thought it would be a one-sided affair, seventy-two Sword Qi forcibly destroyed half of the Divine Soul, vanishing for two hundred years without progress."

"Now she’s willingly dispersing her cultivation power, fearing her visit to Phoenix Heavenly Cave this time aims to flip the situation, weighing her age..."

"Fearing her life span nears its end, fighting desperately."

Rip——

The short arm was torn apart, the body and other organs scattered everywhere under this brutal tearing and gnawing.

Constantly trying to transform into blood mist to escape, but before Cen Yongsheng, it was simply a joke. Within just a few breaths, she was completely devoured, observing the scene expressionless, the three remained silent.

With a flick, blood was cast and the next moment, the Gu worms devoured it completely, only then did Jiang Feng truly witness the power of Southern Border Gu worms. Compared to Cen Yueyue, hers were truly child’s play.

The physical body was utterly destroyed, disappearing into the air after a few flutters, as if Yin Xue had never left any trace in this world.

Cen Yueyue beamed with joy, her expression seemingly smug, as if expecting praise, but Jiang Feng furrowed his brow.

"Hmm? She’s not dead?"

Instinctively placing his right hand on his waist.

The man’s muttering naturally wasn’t missed by the others, Cen Yueyue widened her eyes, having clearly seen Yin Xue devoured clean by her grandfather’s Night Poisonous Insect, not even a strand of hair remaining. How could she not be dead?

But the old man merely glanced at Jiang Feng.

"Hmm, since when did Swordmaster Peak disciples start dabbling in such shady ways? Isn’t it that you consider yourself lofty without looking down upon them?"

One sentence caused someone to retract his hand embarrassedly.

Seeing Yin Xue being slain, his first reaction was to probe the opponent’s soul. The soul banner in his hand had become increasingly greedy. Before, it was fine, just some scattered souls, but ever since the battle with Jin Shan, its appetite grew larger.

Though he hid the soul bell and soul banner deeply, such commotion naturally couldn’t escape Cen Yongsheng, if it were anyone else, Jiang Feng would certainly boast about "loving shady ways," but in front of Cen Yueyue’s grandfather...
