Five Poisons Mountain.
The central area of Five Poisons Mountain.
Here, poisonous miasma spreads rampant everywhere.
A terrifying thunderous power split the night sky, striking with unparalleled might.
Xu Kangshun's expression darkened. The Saint Origin within him circulated to its limit, forming an absolute defense of a Saint Origin shield around him.
The Saint Origin shield tightly protected Xu Kangshun and Fang Qing.
"Bang!!!"
With a violent collision, the shield shattered. Both of them were struck by the sudden lightning, their bodies falling to the side.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? To dare attack us..." Xu Kangshun's face turned ashen, his body scorched black.
Fang Qing beside him was even more disheveled. Her fiery red clothes were torn beyond recognition. White, delicate skin was constantly oozing blood. Her hair was disheveled, and she appeared extremely weak.
"Oh? Since when did a mere elder of Fiery Demon Peak dare to lay hands on my people!"
At this moment, a cold, sharp voice rang out.
A peerlessly handsome youth appeared before Mu Qingyu from the void.
Mu Qingyu's eyes were dim. The youth before her looked so familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. However, Mu Qingyu's consciousness was already dissipating, her life force gradually weakening.
"Silly girl, running so far alone, you made me search for quite a while!" A gentle voice sounded in Mu Qingyu's ear.
Immediately after, Mu Qingyu felt her body sinking into a warm embrace.
"Young Master... is that you?..." Mu Qingyu's complexion turned slightly rosy, and she whispered.
Mu Qingyu faintly sensed Jiang Li's aura, but the familiar voice and warm embrace made her utterly captivated.
Jiang Li, holding Mu Qingyu, slowly circulated the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture] within her, channeling gentle spiritual energy into her body.
Nourished by the spiritual energy of the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture], Mu Qingyu's body slowly began to recover.
"Saint Son Jiang, I advise you not to make a mistake. That is a woman the Divine Son specifically wants!" Xu Kangshun, not far away, said sternly, his gaze filled with extreme coldness.
Jiang Li slowly turned his head, looking at Xu Kangshun.
[Name]: Xu Kangshun
[Realm]: Great Saint Realm First Level.
[Physique]: Fire Spirit Body.
[Destiny]: Alchemy Grandmaster (Blue), Renowned Far and Wide (Blue), Ruthless (Red).
[Life Script]: A supporting character in "Chaotic Emperor," an elder of the Fiery Demon Peak of the Primordial Demon Sect, a strong supporter of the Primordial Demon Sect's Divine Son, a master alchemist...
[Favorability]: -50
[Recent Turning Point]: Six days later, at the Heavenly Origin City Heavenly Origin Auction, he bid for an unnamed ancient book. After burning it with flames, he discovered a divine-grade spiritual power divine ability hidden within.
Xu Kangshun's life script appeared in Jiang Li's mind.
The alchemist of Fiery Demon Peak, Great Saint First Level, a strong supporter of the Divine Son... a divine-grade spiritual power divine ability...
"Make a mistake? Attacking my person and daring to speak so presumptuously. I think you old fool truly doesn't want to live anymore?" Jiang Li continued to speak indifferently, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes.
If this Elder Xu dared to lay hands on his person, there was no room for negotiation.
Even though Mu Qingyu had only been with him for a short time.
He was quite satisfied with this girl.
Therefore, when these people intended to do such things to Mu Qingyu, their death sentence was already pronounced.
Mu Qingyu, in Jiang Li's arms, had already improved greatly after being nourished by the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture].
Hearing Jiang Li's words, her heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion.
"Does Saint Son Jiang really think he is invincible? I, this old man, must discipline Saint Son Jiang on behalf of Peak Master Shen!" Xu Kangshun's expression turned extremely grim.
As the alchemist of Fiery Demon Peak and a cultivator at the Great Saint level himself.
Who came to him for alchemy was not respectful? Even other Saint Sons had to address him respectfully as Elder Xu.
This newly appointed Saint Son dared to be so arrogant, not even putting him in his eyes, his words carrying such insult. It was truly unforgivable.
Fang Qing, standing beside Xu Kangshun, stared intently at Mu Qingyu in Jiang Li's arms.
Why, why did this damned girl have such good luck?
The Divine Son wanted to recruit her, and this Saint Son Jiang of Star Demon Peak treated her so well.
Fang Qing's heart was completely ignited by the flames of jealousy.
"Nightmare Beast, keep an eye on this girl. I'll spar with that old fool!" Jiang Li gently put Mu Qingyu down, then summoned his Nightmare Beast.
The Nightmare Beast, Little Chicken, nodded its head like a tiny chick, carefully guarding Mu Qingyu.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The power within Jiang Li erupted. The [Cycle Immortal Scripture] and the [Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength] circulated to their limits.
His entire being, with unparalleled momentum, charged towards Xu Kangshun.
The majestic aura and golden streams of light ignited the entire night sky, stirring up hurricane-like air currents around them.
Xu Kangshun narrowed his eyes, his inner power also circulated to its extreme.
"Swish!!!"
A blood-red long sword appeared in Xu Kangshun's hand, and he lunged towards Jiang Li.
Their bodies quickly intertwined, and a fierce battle instantly erupted.
Terrifying heat waves surged around them, with streams of light flashing everywhere.
Cultivators at the Great Saint level are nothing more than this... Jiang Li easily dodged Xu Kangshun's attacks, murmuring to himself.
Xu Kangshun didn't seem as strong as he had imagined.
Was this guy so useless?
Or was it because his strength had transformed significantly after breaking through two realms?
"If you don't get serious, I'm going to kill you!" Jiang Li said sternly.
He genuinely wanted to test the strength of a Great Saint-level cultivator, as ordinary Saint Kings could already be easily crushed by him.
After Jiang Li spoke, his fist, imbued with unparalleled attacking power, struck Xu Kangshun's body. Xu Kangshun's body was hit by immense force.
The bones within him shattered, emitting crisp tearing sounds.
"This guy has so much strength!" Xu Kangshun's heart sank. Jiang Li's strength far exceeded his imagination.
Especially his physical body, coupled with his unparalleled speed, was simply outrageously strong.
If Xu Kangshun hadn't been able to clearly sense that Jiang Li was only at the Saint Realm, he would have thought Jiang Li had already reached the Great Saint Realm.
Xu Kangshun felt that if he didn't show some real skill, he might truly be defeated by this Jiang Li.
The Nightmare Beast, not far away, watched the scene with horror.
A peak Saint stage cultivator was suppressing a Great Saint level cultivator to fight. The Nightmare Beast was somewhat stunned.
