The lion phantom let out a loud roar.

Its roar felt as if it could shake one's soul and tear one's body.

​​

Roar!

The loud roar tore through the earth and shattered the vegetation around it.

It was as if as long as one was shaken by the sound, one's body would be in great danger, and one's consciousness might even collapse.

The loud roar lasted for a while. The long-haired man believed that when faced with such an attack, a perfected Golden Core cultivator would do his best to avoid it no matter how powerful he was.

The person in the sky was also watching.

Waiting for the target to escape.

However, be it the people on the ground or in the sky, they did not expect the other party to not make any moves.

Had the target died from the shock?

When they wanted to check if the target was dead, the long-haired man suddenly felt his vision blur. Then, he saw a person standing in front of him.

It was none other than the perfected Golden Core cultivator.

"Are you done shouting? Can you answer my question now?"

Jiang Lan stood in front of him, his voice cold.

It was as if the long-haired man would already be a dead man if he did not have to ask him a question.

The long-haired man was shocked, but he quickly flew into a rage out of humiliation.

He was actually frightened by a perfected Golden Core cultivator.

"How arrogant."

At this moment, his hand turned into a lion's claw, slapping towards Jiang Lan.

Facing the attack, Jiang Lan reached out and grabbed its claws.

Then, he pinched it.

Bang!

The long-haired lion's claws were instantly crushed by Jiang Lan.

"Ah!"

A blood-curdling scream rang out. The long-haired lion looked at Jiang Lan in horror. As a demon, his body was much stronger than that of an ordinary human Essence Soul cultivator.

But in front of the other party, he was like a piece of tile, unable to withstand a single blow.

He realized that he was now in a life and death crisis, and he erupted with strength instantly.

The Lion's Roar Technique appeared once again.

This time, the power was much greater than before.

Roar!

However, as soon as he used the Lion's Roar Technique and the voice had just come out of his mouth.

The long-haired lion was shocked to find a hand reaching out towards him.

Then, his mouth was pinched by this hand.

The voice that belonged to him, the power that belonged to his final counterattack, was instantly sealed.

"Too noisy. It seems you don't want to answer my question."

After Jiang Lan's voice sounded, he made his move.

Bang!

Blood mist scattered.

The long-haired lion was directly crushed by him.

After killing one, Jiang Lan raised his head towards the sky.

There was another one standing in the air, seemingly casting a spell.

Jiang Lan was still worried that the other party would flee.

At this moment, the short-haired man's wings became huge. A storm appeared and surrounded Jiang Lan.

Power surged forth like spikes.

"Thousand Feathers Descent."

Rustle!

Jiang Lan saw countless feathers falling from the sky. In his field of vision, countless feathers occupied the sky, and each feather carried great power.

Each of the feathers contained the power of an attack of an early-stage Essence Soul expert.

Whoosh.

All the feathers attacked him together, raining upon him.

This was equivalent to a large number of early-stage Essence Souls attacking together.

This strike could instantly kill an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator. Even an ordinary mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator might die under this attack.

"You won't be able to escape."

The short-haired man had a ruthless expression on his face. He continued to use his power to attack his opponent. His opponent would definitely be unable to escape or dodge.

If his opponent took it head-on, he would only die.

Even a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator would die, much less a perfected Golden Core cultivator.

Once he was allowed to unleash his ultimate killing move, it was equivalent to announcing the death of his opponent.

"I never thought of escaping," said a sudden voice behind the short-haired man.

This sudden change made the short-haired man's pupils contract.

The first thing he wanted to do was to put some distance between them. He would think about the rest when he had time.

With his enormous wings, he could move in a flash. Ordinary people would not be able to catch up to him.

However, when he flapped his wings, he realized that one of his wings couldn't move.

A hand was grabbing onto his wing.

Splash!

Jiang Lan tore it.

"Ah!"

Screams rang out.

One of the giant wings was torn off by Jiang Lan.

The short-haired man wanted to retreat, but he was horrified to discover that his other wing had also been grabbed by that person.

Rip!

The only wing he was left with was torn off again.

It was thrown on the ground.

The short-haired man landed on the ground and felt an unbearable pain on his back.

He stared at the slowly descending Jiang Lan as if he was looking at an abyssal demon.

"I want to ask you a few questions."

Jiang Lan looked at the short-haired man and spoke slowly.

The other party's wings were quite dangerous, so he naturally had to remove them.

"Will you let me go if I tell you?" The short-haired man looked at Jiang Lan with a ferocious expression.

His face was twisting in pain.

"It will make your death a little easier."

Jiang Lan's voice was as calm as ever. Such calmness was frightening in the eyes of the demon.

It was as if the other party would make a move at any moment.

"Then why should I tell you?"

Jiang Lan appeared in front of the short-haired man.

His figure had appeared extremely suddenly, causing the short-haired man to subconsciously take a step back.

However, his breath was unstable and the mountain path was unstable, so he fell onto the ground.

He looked extremely pathetic.

"How many demons are there? Or how many people are there in your stronghold? Also, how strong are they?" Jiang Lan looked down at the short-haired man and asked.

"We… We have one team here. Each team has ten people. The commander-in-charge is at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, while the others are all at the Essence Soul Realm. The major is still on his way," the short-haired man immediately replied.

"Who has the divine power, Earth Shrinking Technique?"

"It's the… The major's."

"What is his cultivation?"

"Human… Human Immortal."

"Where are your people?"

"They are at the Cloud Breaking Cliff which is far away from Kunlun."

Jiang Lan was silent for a moment before asking one last question.

"Which part of what you just said is true?"

When he heard this, the short-haired man looked at Jiang Lan in fear. He wanted to say something.

But a fist took over his entire world, and a powerful force spread through his body.

Jiang Lan stood up and walked forward.

Blood mist filled the sky behind him.

Since he had made his move, he wanted to see what the demons were up to.

After tonight, his enemy would have probably found out that something unusual had happened and would be alerted.

So tonight was the best chance for him to find out more.

As long as he got rid of the existing people, he should be safe till his work at the inn ended.

Then, he would return to the Ninth Summit to cultivate in seclusion.

This matter would have nothing to do with him anymore.

…

…

Kunlun.

Xiao Yu rode her sword forward.

She did not return to the Third Summit.

Or rather, she did not need to return to the Third Summit.

At this moment, she had crossed the nine summits of Kunlun and was heading towards the place behind the nine summits.

Behind the nine summits was the Jade Pool.

Soon, she approached the Jade Pool. At this moment, she had a cold expression on her face, as if she didn't want anyone to come near her.

If she continued forward, she would reach the Jade Pool. Ordinary people would not be able to get close to it.

Xiao Yu seemed to be able to ignore this restriction.

She directly passed through the Jade Pool's restriction and arrived at the Jade Pool's mountain peak.

Just as she was about to land on the ground, her figure began to change.

It was as though she was slowly growing up and the immortal dress on her body was changing as well.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Yu, who was originally a little girl, became slender and elegant. Her long hair reached her waist, and she was devastatingly beautiful.

She wore a blue and white immortal dress and stood beside the Jade Pool.

After pondering for a moment, she entered the Jade Pool.

Her cold face revealed no emotions.

However, a few words came out of her mouth.

"Dragon Slaying Sword…"

Before long, she disappeared into the Jade Pool.
