With a Corpse Puppet comparable to the Purple Mansion Peak at his command, why would he fear a mere Purple Mansion Seventh Level Qin Xuan?

"Mystic Womb Corpse Refining, heed my command! Go!"

Sunx Miao mustered the last of his Magical Power and slammed his palm into the tall Dark Gold Skeleton beside him!

"ROAR—!"

Two ghastly green Soul Fires suddenly ignited in the Golden Armor Silver Corpse’s eye sockets, and a terrifying pressure befitting the Purple Mansion Peak erupted!

It let out an inhuman roar. Its giant claw, covered in Dark Gold Scale Armor, tore through the air as it swatted down toward the charging Qin Xuan.

Before the claw even arrived, the dense Corpse Evil Qi threatened to freeze one’s very Divine Soul!

The massive claw blotted out the sky. The pressure of the Purple Mansion Peak was so tangible it seemed to lock the very space around Qin Xuan in place!

"Die!"

A savage, triumphant smile spread across Sunx Miao’s face, as if he could already see Qin Xuan being smashed into a bloody pulp by this attack!

Outside, the ethereal forms of the several Demon Monarchs rippled slightly.

A trace of surprise flashed in Wei Jieyue’s eyes. She spoke with keen interest, "Oh? A desperate counterattack? He’s got some backbone, at least."

Ma Miaoyin smiled and shook her head, as if watching an ant struggle for its life.

"It’s as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He doesn’t know his own limits."

The Corpse Aura around Sunx Youhai’s ethereal form roiled violently. A smile touched his lips, but he made no move to intervene.

In his eyes, with the protection of the Golden Armor Silver Corpse, Sunx Miao’s victory was assured.

Just as Qin Xuan charged forward, the sphere of light in his mind flashed once again.

A brilliant golden light flared.

A deep gold bamboo slip, which had yet to fully materialize, floated out leisurely.

[Top-Top Lottery: In a desperate struggle, unleash all your Divine Power Techniques to slay Sunx Miao and overcome the crisis. You will gain the protection of the Blood Flood Dragon and one Third-Grade Opportunity. Greatly auspicious!]

Qin Xuan was stunned.

He couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

’Hahaha, heaven always leaves a way out! This time, I actually got ahead of your Divination!’

Faced with a blow that could heavily wound or even instantly kill an ordinary Late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, Qin Xuan didn’t slow down. Instead, he accelerated even more!

HUMMM!

As the Golden Armor Silver Corpse’s massive claw came crashing down, Qin Xuan slammed his hands together, and the aura around him shifted abruptly.

Points of starlight descended from the void, sinking into his body.

"Hmm?" Outside, Fan Luming was the first to notice.

"He still has enough energy to use a Rejuvenation Secret Technique? This child’s Magical Power and Divine Sense are far more profound than they appear!"

As the starlight entered his body, a good portion of Qin Xuan’s depleted Demonic Essence was instantly restored.

"Those are the Water Character Secret Outer Path Divine Techniques. That’s the legacy aura of the Outer Path Divinity Transformation from the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea!" Wei Jieyue’s eyes narrowed as she recognized the origin of this Divine Technique.

Her interest in Qin Xuan grew even deeper.

"Sunx Miao, time to die!" Qin Xuan roared.

[Ghost Shadow Seven Kills]

Activate!

As Qin Xuan moved at incredible speed, his figure suddenly blurred and distorted!

Like a phantom, he vanished in a near-teleportation-like flicker. Each time he reappeared, he left behind a momentary, blood-red afterimage composed of his residual speed and dissipating Blood Qi.

[Huaizhong Altar Master Qin Xuan has used Ghost Shadow Seven Kills once. Contribution Points: -10]

"The Star Technique legacy from the Nine Prisons Reincarnation Tower, Ghost Shadow Seven Kills?"

A hint of curiosity flickered in Ma Miaoyin’s eyes. "Interesting. His fortuitous encounters run deep. To think he obtained the Star Technique the Venerable Lord himself created."

Seven blood-red, ghostly figures flickered erratically, each one appearing utterly real.

"ROAR!"

The Golden Armor Silver Corpse’s massive claw smashed through three of the ghostly figures in succession, only to grasp at empty air each time.

Qin Xuan’s true self had already used the shifting phantoms to appear at Sunx Miao’s flank.

Sunx Miao, alarmed, hastily commanded the Silver Corpse to fall back and defend him. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But Qin Xuan’s form blurred once more, like a cicada shedding its skin, leaving behind an afterimage to be torn to shreds by the Silver Corpse’s claws.

His real body, using the Extreme Speed of the Cyan Cicada Shell, had already closed to within ten yards of Sunx Miao!

The Positional Divine Technique, Cyan Cicada Shell!

"Yin Wood, Ti Shege... He’s starting to use his Positional Divine Techniques."

Fan Luming saw through Qin Xuan’s capabilities at a glance, and his admiration only grew.

"This child certainly has some skill. To still possess such abundant Demonic Essence for Magical Techniques after performing both Artifact Refining and Alchemy... he is a promising talent for Demon Cultivation!"

He looked toward Sunx Youhai. "Senior Brother Sunx, how do you see this ending? Shall I capture this unruly brat and discipline him for you?"

Though his words were of punishment, the other Demon Monarchs present instantly understood his true meaning.

Fan Luming wanted to protect Qin Xuan!

Sunx Youhai’s expression was grim. He forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. "Heh, no need to rush. Miao’Er can handle this."
