Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Cleaning Up the Remnants (Third Update)
Xiao Sha, fighting back disgust, began to devour the bloodline power of Yu Qianlong.
Wei Ruyan, Jiang Mei’er, and the princess of the Demon Race all came over.
“Thank you, sir, for saving our lives!” the women said in unison.
Xue An gave a slight smile, “You’re welcome!”
Then he turned to look at Xie Jingjing, who was standing at the back.
“How did you get caught here too?”
No sooner had he spoken than tears welled up in Xie Jingjing’s eyes.
Wei Ruyan sighed and briefly recounted the events.
Finally, she said indignantly, “The most hateful is that demon disguised as a human!”
Xue An nodded and surveyed the banquet hall.
Because of Yu Qianlong’s Demon Dragon Overpowering the Sky attack, the demons at the banquet were mostly reduced to dust, making it impossible to distinguish which one was Izumi Noriko.
Xue An frowned slightly, and his enormous Divine Sense instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire heavens and earth.
At that moment.
In the southwest direction.
Izumi Noriko was running in panic.
He had seen everything that just happened in the banquet hall.
The might of Xue An astonished him.
He also had the foresight to guess that Yu Qianlong would fail, so he slipped away early.
He knew very well that if he were caught, his death was certain.
He had been running frantically for a while and was now dozens of miles away from his base.
He should be safe now, right?
Izumi Noriko let out a sigh of relief, slowed down his pace preparing to rest for a bit.
Just then, he suddenly noticed someone was rushing over from behind.
Izumi Noriko’s face turned pale with shock.
Could it be that Xue An had sent someone after him?
He immediately braced for confrontation.
However, as the person approached, Izumi Noriko breathed a sigh of relief.
“It turns out to be Mister He! What, have you also escaped?”
Mister He emerged from the darkness, nodding slightly, “It turns out to be Lord Jin Jing!”
Izumi Noriko laughed, then suddenly let out a light ‘huh’, “Eh, Mister He, why do you exist only as a soul?”
Mister He chuckled bitterly, “Had no choice, I came out just a step too late, and Yu Qianlong’s Demon Dragon Overpowering the Sky destroyed my physical body!”
“Oh!” Izumi Noriko suddenly understood, “That’s it! Then may I assume that Yu has won?”
Mister He shook his head gravely, “On the contrary, he has lost! I even suspect he is already dead by now.”
“Is it that serious?” Izumi Noriko was stunned.
“Alas, that man’s strength has truly surpassed anything you and I could imagine!” Mister He exclaimed.
“Regardless of whether he’s dead or not, luckily, we escaped! Mister He, I know how to get out of this secret realm, and the place we’ll go to is very bustling, without many experts! We can definitely go there,” Izumi Noriko said.
Mister He’s eyes brightened, “That would be great! But, Lord Jin Jing, I am now in a soul state, and traveling like this will deplete a lot of energy. Could you carry me?”
Izumi Noriko carelessly nodded, “No problem!”
With that, he turned around and bent over, “Mister He, please come on!”
A sly smile flickered at the corner of Mister He’s mouth.
Just as he had said.
The moment Xue An unfolded his Divine Sense, he knew Yu Qianlong was doomed.
So he had been secretly moving away, hoping to escape.
But unexpectedly, before he could get away, Yu Qianlong’s Demon Dragon Overpowering the Sky attack shattered his physical body.
Fortunately, a wisp of his soul managed to escape.
However, merely a soul could not exist in this world for long; he must find a physical body to inhabit.
And this Izumi Noriko was perfect.
The Golden Eyed Monkey transformed, its cultivation level not bad, and its bloodline was also decent.
Mr. Crane calculated, then gently lay on Izumi Noriko’s back.
“Lord Jin Jing, ready!”
“Okay, let’s go!”
As he spoke, he stood up.
But in that instant, Mr. Crane’s soul transformed into a sharp needle, suddenly stabbing toward the back of Izumi Noriko’s head.
However, Izumi Noriko abruptly tore apart with both hands.
She directly grabbed Mr. Crane’s legs and ripped him in two.
Souls do not bleed.
Logically, being torn in two would mean the soul had scattered.
But Mr. Crane had refined his soul to be exceptionally resilient, so, unexpectedly, he did not die immediately.
“Mr. Crane, what is it? You wanted to usurp my body?” Izumi Noriko said indifferently.
Mr. Crane cried out in horror, “When did you notice?”
“Nonsense, you really thought I was completely unaware? All that talk about souls not being able to travel far was purely your excuse! Haha! Just right, after I devour your Divine Sense, I’ll be even more at ease to roam the mortal world!”
As she spoke, Izumi Noriko swallowed half of Mr. Crane’s soul in one gulp.
“You demon!” Mr. Crane screamed in agony.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Haha, it takes one to know one!” Izumi Noriko said with a cold laugh.
But at that moment, Izumi Noriko and the remnant of Mr. Crane’s soul suddenly looked up at the sky.
They saw a thin layer of a barrier in the sky, and above that barrier was a huge eye, coldly looking down at the two demons slaughtering each other.
“No!” Izumi Noriko cried out in alarm, wanting to flee.
Because she understood, this was definitely Xue An coming after them.
But before she even took a step, she was bound by the remnant of Mr. Crane’s soul.
“You…” Izumi Noriko exclaimed with a mixture of shock and anger, trying to break free.
“Hahaha, this lord has already pursued us here! Since I can’t live anyway, you’ll have to die with me!” Mr. Crane shouted fiercely.
At that time, the barrier swiftly condensed into a massive hammer, slamming down thunderously.
Crack.
Izumi Noriko screamed miserably, instantly smashed into a pulp.
Along with her, Mr. Crane’s remnant soul was also crushed into nothingness.
Thus.
These two mutually betraying demons were completely annihilated.
Xue An retracted his Divine Sense and nodded slightly towards Wei Ruyan, “It’s done, that Izumi Noriko is dead!”
Then, looking at Xie Jingjing who stood bowing her head as if she had done something wrong, he shook his head helplessly, “Don’t be sad, the demons have been killed by me!”
Before the words even finished, Xie Jingjing suddenly leaned on Xue An’s shoulder and burst into uncontrollable sobbing.
“Brother Xue An, I was so scared! I thought I would never see my mom, dad, and you again!”
Xue An was slightly taken aback, then gently rubbed her head, “Alright, stop crying! It’s all over now.”
This sophomore girl, after experiencing these events, was already on the verge of collapse.
As soon as she saw Xue An, she wished she could cry out all the grievances she had accumulated over these days.
Her tears quickly soaked Xue An’s shoulder.
Wei Ruyan and Jiang Mei’er couldn’t help but purse their lips and giggle upon seeing this.
The princess of the Demon Race looked on with curiosity at the scene.
Xue An could only helplessly smile wryly.
“Alright, after we’ve dealt with everything I’ll take you home!”
But Xie Jingjing choked and said, “Brother Xue An, can I… may I borrow… your shoulder for a while? I’ll return it to you in a bit, okay?”
Xue An was caught between laughter and tears.
But just then.
Directly above Xiao Sha, who had just devoured Yu Qianlong’s bloodline, the space suddenly rippled, and a black dragon claw stretched out, accompanied by an angry roar.
“Who dares to kill my offspring?”
