Chapter 55: We Meet Again

"Who are you...?"

With his heart pierced, the demonic body remained unyielding. He turned around, gazing into the thick mist, his voice hoarse. "Li Xun!"

Indifferent two words reached him.

A figure in white robes, tall and slender, appeared before him. "Senior brother Li Xun!”

At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Qingshuang's eyes.

She would never forget the presence that had changed the course of her life in the Scripture Pavilion. Without Senior Brother Li Xun, she would probably still be in the early stages of the Qi Refining Realm.

The great favor from the last time had yet to be repaid.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was Senior Brother Li Xun who came to her rescue and saved her life. "Senior Brother, be careful, it's difficult to kill this demon!" Liu Qingshuang struggled to speak.

"Hehe!"

The demon shrouded in a black robe emitted a hoarse laugh. He exuded endless black mist, as if he had transformed into a demon god returned from the depths of the Nine Abyss.

Boundless black mist enveloped him, and the wound on his chest quickly wriggled, soon returning to its original state.

From the surface, there was no sign of the injuries he had suffered before. "She's right; we can't kill them!"

"Is that so?"

Li Xun furrowed his brows slightly. With a wave of his hand, the Broken Cloud Spear that had just flown out reversed its course and landed in his palm.

"It’s time to test that claim!" As he spoke, Li Xun made his move.

The long spear spanned the sky, shining with silvery brilliance. It shattered the boundless black mist, like a heavenly pillar spanning the firmament, possessing unparalleled pressure.

"Hehe..."

The black-robed demon grinned sinisterly. He was exceptionally strong, and in the face of Li Xun's attack, he made no attempt to dodge. He extended a hand covered in scales, entwined with black demonic energy, and reached forward to grab the spear. "Boom!"

The hand covered in scales grasped the spear in an instant. His complexion changed slightly as he felt a tremendous force, causing his towering figure to sink into the ground. "Shatter for me!"

With his other hand raised, he used both hands to grip the spear, instantly turning its radiance into an energy storm that swept in all directions.

"Huh?"

Li Xun furrowed his brows slightly.

Back when he was at the peak of the Spirit Connection Realm, one thrust of his spear was enough to overwhelm the entire Chen Clan's attacker, and no one could withstand it.

But now, having become a powerful expert of the Profound Core Realm…

Turns out, the demon that he encountered right now could actually barely withstand his attack, it's no wonder that extradimensional demons are claimed to be nearly invincible among their peers. After all, apart from their formidable physique, they possess an almost insane recovery speed, a trait even Li Xun can't match.

"The scent of human Profound Core Realm blood is intoxicating to me..."

The black-robed demon leaped out of the ground, emitting a loud roar, resembling an ancient savage beast with a fierce glint in its eyes. It swiftly charged toward Li Xun.

"Die!" Li Xun coldly exclaimed.

He was straightforward, and his long spear radiated brilliance. He vigorously swung it, displaying the "Broken Star Halberd Technique." Every move was filled with immense power.

*Rumble!*

Deafening roars echoed continuously.

With each collision, the demonic figure in the black robe trembled, as if every bone in its body was about to shatter.

"Senior Brother Li Xun is actually this strong?" Liu Qingshuang watched the scene of the battle in the distance, utterly astonished.

Back in the Scripture Pavilion, she hadn't sensed much. She had merely thought of him as a gentle senior brother. Who would have thought that Senior Brother Li Xun would be so domineering when he made his move?

And that demon from earlier seemed to have said... Senior Brother Li Xun was a Profound Core Realm expert? In that case, didn't it mean that Senior Brother Li Xun could soon become a core disciple?

"If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Li Xun didn't seem to participate in this sect trial. Could it be that he came specifically to save us?" She thought about this, and an inexplicable warmth filled her heart.

During her moments of confusion, it was Senior Brother Li Xun who had guided her. Now, in her most perilous moment, it was Senior Brother Li Xun who came to her aid again.

As she looked at Li Xun's figure once more, her eyes unconsciously held a hint of unusual radiance.

"Crack!"

Another crisp sound.

The black-robed demon's six fingers were shattered into pieces, falling off. He let out a miserable scream, blood flowing from the broken points of his six fingers.

Although their injuries could recover rapidly, the pain was genuine.

"What a strong human!"

The black-robed demon gasped for breath. His body was filled with surging black mist, radiating brilliance like flames, rapidly healing his wounds. But accompanying this recovery was a noticeable decline in his aura.

"It seems that recovering from your injuries comes at a price. In that case, extradimensional demons are not invulnerable!"

Li Xun stood in the void like a god, emitting a golden radiance all over his body, even his black hair had a layer of golden luster.

"Heavenly Demon Thousand Transformations!"

A fierce glint flashed in the black-robed demon's eyes as he let out a roar and directly unleashed a secret technique.

He knew that if he continued to fight, he would likely exhaust his own origin completely. Once the origin was depleted, there would be no way out for him. Instead of that, he decided to give it his all now.

Once he slayed his opponent, the mere thought of the Profound Core Realm human blood excited him, making his whole body tremble.

"Rumble!"

The joints of the black-robed demon began to shift, making a continuous cracking sound. A terrifying aura pervaded the area. His originally one-zhang-tall body rapidly shrank to five feet.

Then, with a whoosh, he rushed towards Li Xun.

A murderous intent!

An earth-shattering murderous intent!

Under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Thousand Transformations, his body had become deformed, but he had become even more powerful. The transformation had shrunk his body, but at the same time, it had almost doubled his strength!

"Senior Brother Li Xun, be careful!" Liu Qingshuang endured the excruciating pain and shouted.

"Boom!"

Li Xun's body radiated golden light as he used strength to counter strength. His long spear continually swept out, tearing the earth and shaking the sky.

"Bang! Bang!..."

For over a dozen consecutive clashes, Li Xun remained unwavering, as steady as a mountain, standing in the sky. In contrast, the black-robed demon was sent flying.

In the moment he was sent flying, beams of light burst from Li Xun's long spear, making it impossible to look directly at. It carried a vast and sacred aura as it pierced through the demon's body.

"Spurt!"

The long spear once again punctured the chest of the black-robed demon, nailing it to the void, creating a breathtaking scene.

"Bang!"

Li Xun's hand trembled, and the Broken Cloud Spear emitted a humming sound. Terrifying power erupted from the spear, instantly shattering the demon's body into pieces.

Only a head rolled to the ground.

The black-robed demon struggled to open his mouth but couldn't produce any sound. His eyes rapidly dimmed.

"You're the first one who could spar with me for so long."

Li Xun descended from the void, glanced at the demon's severed head, then came to Liu Qingshuang's side, and said, "Sister Liu, we meet again."
