Chapter 648 Deceived and Devoured
"boom!"
The attacks collided, and all four were sent flying backward.
However, the old lady's robes were also smashed to pieces, and she staggered back several steps.
A lot of her hair was burned off; if she hadn't reacted quickly, she probably would have been burned to ashes like the old man before her.
With a wave of her hand, she donned another gray robe, letting out a strange, cacophony laugh, and in a flash, she appeared beside Mu Jinning.
The withered hand stretched out, and a suction force reached out to grab Mu Jinning.
She sensed that Mu Jinning was radiating a rich aura of vitality.
If she were to devour this brat, it would be an absolute boon.
Zhong Yan lunged forward, a broadsword radiating death as it slashed down at her.
Ah Sheng strode over and slammed down the sledgehammer in his hand, fast and hard.
Mu Jinning sneered, and a layer of flames suddenly rose from her body.
He had at least cultivated in the divine-level fire vein for two months, and his fire seed had already been upgraded and mutated.
Although he is not as powerful as Zhong Ran, who possesses the Fire Source Pearl, he is much stronger than ordinary alchemists and fire spirit cultivators.
Even if it's not god-level yet, it's still a demigod-level spark.
With the aid of his special spiritual power, flames suddenly shot up, and the old woman's hand almost caught fire.
Her expression changed repeatedly, and in a fit of anger and embarrassment, she slapped Mu Jinning.
As Zhong Yan's greatsword slashed down, she flashed and appeared behind A Sheng, her palm striking A Sheng's back as well.
Ah Sheng reacted slowly and was knocked forward by her palm strike, but when he came to his senses, he swung the hammer in his hand back sharply.
But the old lady dodged towards Zhong Ran again, without getting close, and directly struck out with her palm.
She was like that mischievous cat, playing tricks on four little mice.
However, so far, only Ah Sheng has been slapped by her.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning both had flames for self-defense, so she didn't get close to them.
Ah Sheng was no ordinary person. After being slapped by her, he grimaced and then turned around to hit her again.
However, he couldn't hit the old lady, which made him very angry. He was so angry that he stopped hitting her, smashed the sledgehammer on the ground, supported himself with one hand, and took out some meat to eat with the other.
The sledgehammer was very heavy, and each swing required a lot of strength, yet it still couldn't hit anyone. He was exhausted and didn't want to move anymore.
After a while, Zhong Yan also realized the old lady's attitude; she was completely toying with them.
But her movements and reactions were too fast, and they couldn't touch her.
He sheathed his broadsword and quickly threw a punch.
He punched very fast, creating a dense circle of fist marks.
But they are experts at the Integration Realm, and their understanding of space is far beyond what these greenhorns can comprehend.
The old woman appeared behind him without his noticing and quickly grabbed at his shoulder.
However, she didn't notice that a sly smile appeared on Zhong Yan's lips.
Her withered, twig-like hands gripped Zhong Yan's shoulders, a sinister grin spreading across her thin face: "Stinky..."
Before she could finish speaking, her expression changed, and she quickly stepped back, trying to shake Zhong Yan off.
Zhong Yan is now at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the Devouring Power he unleashes at full strength is terrifying.
Even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would find it difficult to escape once he had attracted them.
"You little bastard, let me go right now, or you'll suffer a terrible death."
Upon sensing the terrifying devouring power emanating from Zhong Yan, the old lady's face turned extremely grim, and her voice became hoarse.
Zhong Yan remained silent, but rapidly circulated his cultivation technique, increasing his devouring power.
"Very well, you little bastard, since you like to devour so much, then I'll let you devour to your heart's content."
A black gourd appeared in her hand, which she pointed directly at Zhong Yan and activated. Wisps of black mist emanated from it, enveloping Zhong Yan.
But it was quickly swallowed up.
The power to devour her did not diminish.
She was greatly alarmed, but unwilling to give up, she activated the black gourd again, hoping to distract Zhong Yan.
But it didn't work at all.
Moreover, this is demonic energy. Wouldn't a normal person feel uncomfortable after being enveloped by demonic energy?
But Zhong Yan was unaffected, so there is only one possibility.
"You are a demonic cultivator!"
Zhong Yan grinned at her: "You're wrong. I'm not a demonic cultivator. It's just that my cultivation method is special. I can devour any kind of power."
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance. Seeing that Zhong Yan had devoured her and Ah Sheng had calmed down, the two of them simultaneously launched a flame and forced their way into the cave entrance.
"boom!"
The ground around the cave entrance suddenly exploded, and several corpses rushed out from below, rushing towards Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning.
Two of the corpses lunged at Zhong Yan in an attempt to rescue the old woman.
Zhong Yan looked at the two corpses rushing towards him, and without the slightest hesitation, used his free hand to flick out the black flames from the first floor.
The flames split in two and flew toward the two corpses.
The black flames, the moment they landed on the corpses, ignited them instantly, turning them into ashes.
Upon seeing this, the old woman narrowed her eyes sharply, inwardly alarmed, and asked in a stern voice, "Who exactly are you?"
Zhong Yan grinned: "I am Zhong Yan." As he spoke, he increased the speed at which he devoured the food.
The old woman was both angry and annoyed. She suddenly unleashed her spiritual power, breaking off the arm that had been swallowed, and then quickly retreated.
Even so, she still lost a lot of spiritual energy.
Turning her head again, she saw that Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning had also burned quite a few of the corpses she had refined.
More importantly, the cave below was on fire, and the temperature was extremely high, which was absolutely terrible for people like them.
"Just you wait," the old woman said, then turned and tore through the void to leave.
Mu Jinning raised her hand, and a long whip of spiritual energy flew out, wrapped around the old lady's leg, and then pulled her back with force, throwing her forcefully in front of Zhong Yan.
He then quickly retracted his spiritual energy whip, which he had condensed using the sapling within his dantian.
Otherwise, with their current cultivation level, they wouldn't be able to stop a Nascent Soul Realm expert from leaving.
The sapling in his dantian is both his Dharma form and a divine tree, a sapling of the tree of life.
That's why they were able to stop her from leaving.
Zhong Yan pounced on her, placing his hands on the old woman's dantian and unleashing a powerful devouring force.
Because that was his dantian, and he unleashed a powerful devouring force, the old lady could no longer struggle free.
Moreover, her entire body quickly shriveled up and turned into a dried corpse.
But her consciousness was still intact, causing her eyes to widen as she stared at Zhong Yan like a demon.
Zhong Yan was completely unaffected, and in the end, he even devoured her consciousness and remnant soul, and extracted her memories.
"Sister, it's true, this is just an avatar."
He opened his eyes and saw that all the corpses had been burned to death, along with the corpse beetles.
The formation here has been broken, and sunlight is streaming in, making the place much brighter.
