Infinite Professions

Chapter 195 - 97: Qingming (Part 2)

In this manner, at the center of the battlefield, Zhong Yuxiu, in Unity of Body and Sword with the Profound Soul, relentlessly pursued Tang Jue’s incarnation of the Six-Flame Demon Dragon, determined to fight to the death.

Indeed, it was a fight to the death!

Earlier in the Profound Void Palace, although she had the Profound Soul acknowledge her as its master, she still needed time to cultivate the Magic Prohibition to wield this sword.

In order to buy her time, Qio Qing’Er wielded the Shennong Cauldron with full force to fend off the assaults from Tang Jue and other demons.

However, Tang Jue’s strength was astonishing, and he eventually transformed into the Demon Dragon. Despite Li Rubi and others desperately blocking him, he broke through the Spirit Light of the Shennong Cauldron.

This left Qio Qing’Er injured, which enraged Zhong Yuxiu.

She had grown up in the deep palace, where her father favored concubines over her mother, leaving her without care, relying only on her mother and sister.

Later, disaster struck, her parents perished, and her younger sister went missing. Previously, she left Fish Dragon Island to search for her sister, but found no clue for years.

Later, by chance, she met Qio Qing’Er in this Ancient Secret Realm, and after interacting with her, regarded her as a sister.

Now, as Qio Qing’Er protected her, being injured by Tang Jue’s Six-Flame Demon Fire, it stirred up her old and new grievances.

So now, regardless of everything, the Profound Soul Cold Light was fierce, relentlessly pursuing the incarnation of Tang Jue’s Six-Flame Demon Fire, determined to cut down this Black Demon under her sword to avenge Qio Qing’Er.

"This pretty face!"

Chased like this, Tang Jue was helpless, and his heart was filled with immense hatred.

He was born with a Fire Spirit Body, a talent even above the Celestial-grade Spiritual Root, and upon joining the Black Demon Sect, he was selected as a Demon Child by the Black Demon Ancestor, taught the Great Technique, and cultivated Divine Techniques. His Six-Flame Demon Fire was unmatched among his demon peers, with few Core Formation cultivators who could rival him.

Now in this Profound Void Secret Realm, though stopped by Li Rubi, he paid little attention to it, thinking he could dominate all around. Who would have thought that the shameless Profound Celestial True Monarch would send treasures to assist the Celestial Destiny Two Talents?

That handsome pretty face was one of the Two Talents of Celestial Destiny, able to cultivate the Profound Soul Sword within moments in the Shennong Cauldron, whose power and force surpassed even his Six-Flame Demon Fire with forty-five layers of Magic Prohibition.

How could the Profound Soul Sword be cultivated to such a level in such a short time?

No one would believe there wasn’t a hidden scheme!

This damn destiny, clearly making him Tang Jue the stepping stone for that pretty face, to elevate the names of the Three Heroes and Two Talents.

Such celestial destiny, such fate...

He refused to accept it!!!

"Puff!"

The flame of hatred barely ignited, yet unwillingness lingered, when that sharp cold light chased him, cutting into the Six-Flame Demon Dragon, immediately dispelling this Demonic Dao Divine Technique. Amid the collapse of the Six-Flame Demon Fire, Tang Jue’s figure was thrown out injured.

Life and death crisis, the Profound Soul pressing for his life!

Seeing this, Tang Jue finally panicked, no longer caring for anything else, directly crushing a Jade Talisman and shouting loudly: "Ancestor, save me!"

"Boom!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the Demon Fire reignite, transforming into a Black Lotus, wrapping him within it layer by layer.

The Profound Soul Sword came through the air, its fierce sword light slashing at the Black Lotus, but only cut off one lotus petal.

The petal fell and turned into demonic havoc, fiercely burning back, enveloping the Profound Soul.

In Unity of Body and Sword, Zhong Yuxiu was instantly engulfed in Demon Fire, and even the Profound Soul Sword, refined with forty-five Earthly Fiend Technique Prohibitions, struggled to resist, flickering intensely within the Black Lotus Demon Fire.

"Black Mountain, stop being arrogant!"

At this moment, a soft reprimand resounded, and Purification Bottle Water poured down, instantly extinguishing the Black Lotus Demon Fire.

The Profound Soul Sword Light retreated, revealing Zhong Yuxiu’s figure as she landed at the back, looking ahead in shock and uncertainty, only to see a white-robed nun, holding a Willow Purification Bottle, standing opposite a black-robed old man.

"South Sea Earth Nun?"

"Black Mountain Demon Monarch?"

Seeing the two who appeared, both righteous and demonic factions exclaimed, while the distant Heterodox Cultivators turned pale and fled.

"Nascent Soul Old Monster!"

"Another Nascent Soul has arrived?"

"The Nascent Soul Old Monster returns inland, instead of breaking the siege of Xuanshao Sect, why come here to stir trouble?"

"What else, surely for the Three Heroes and Two Talents!"

"Damn it, let’s go!"

Seeing the stand-off between South Sea Earth Nun and Black Mountain Demon Monarch, the Heterodox Cultivators, who had already gained something, began to retreat cautiously.

In the battlefield, facing the South Sea Earth Nun, Xiong Heishan was unsurprised, coldly looking at Zhong Yuxiu behind: "One of the Two Talents, indeed, but can you, an old nun, protect him?"

As he spoke, Demonic Light flickered again, revealing three more figures, also three Nascent Soul cultivators.

The South Sea Earth Nun’s eyes narrowed, seeing the three in green robes and blood clothes, and an old woman with a hunched figure: "Miao Shaotian, Situ Lie, Pan Wangpo, allied with the Profound Yin Sea of Baiman Mountain, and a Heterodox Cultivator who has fallen into Demon Dao, indeed the Demon Dao comes prepared!"

"Naturally!"

Black Mountain sneered malevolently: "The grievances and enmities of so many years, let’s settle them all today."

"Hmph!"

The South Sea Earth Nun snorted coldly: "Instead of breaking the siege of Xuanshao, you come here to ambush, determined to be Mo Yunzi’s lackeys, destroying Taiyuan’s hope of breaking the tribulation. Such backward behavior, aren’t you afraid of celestial and earthly eradication?"

"Hahaha!"

Black Mountain laughed uproariously: "It’s your Mystic Sect who bullies too much, wanting to use my Demon Dao as a stepping stone for your Celestial Destiny, a resource for tribulation crossing, we seek life in death, should we just offer our necks for slaughter?"

"Nonsense, inverting right and wrong!"

Before the words finished, Spirit Light flickered, and another figure appeared, standing beside the South Sea Earth Nun.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed as a fisherman with a raincoat and bamboo hat, holding a long pole.

It was...

"Old Turtle Fisherman of Golden Turtle Island?"

"Mystic Sect Orthodox Sect, Nascent Soul Old Monster!"
