I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 701

Chapter 701: Sword Slaying Three Demons, the Old Doctor’s Killing Intent

“As expected, it’s you devils again.”

Xiaoyan looked at the three strangely handsome men in the sky with a calm expression.

Over the years, as her cultivation of the icy arts had become increasingly sophisticated, her personality had become increasingly cold and detached.

Few things could cause her to experience significant emotional fluctuations.

So, even though the Holy Mountain’s formations were being steadily undermined and weakened by the demons’ evil methods, Xiaoyan was only slightly startled before regaining her composure.

“Fairy Lu, no! Those eighteen blood-colored banners are so strange and sinister that we can’t destroy them!”

The moment the banners were driven into the Holy Mountain, the three Holy Lords began to mobilize the power of the formation, attempting to destroy them.

However, after their attempts, they were shocked to discover that the banners imbued themselves with an immensely sinister aura.

More importantly, the evil power was effectively suppressing the formation’s power, preventing them from destroying it. Instead, the Holy Mountain’s formations were being steadily eroded and damaged.

“Don’t waste your energy. This Demonic Blood Soul Banner was specially crafted by us to break your mountain-protecting formation. Without it, I doubt you’ll be able to stop us from taking the mountain soul!”

a demonic figure said coldly.

“Indeed, this is a demonic weapon crafted from the blood sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of lives. If you can still resist, we’ll turn and leave.

Now, if you’re smart, kneel and beg for mercy, become our demon servants, and perhaps we’ll spare your lives.”

Another demonic figure said with an equally gloomy tone.

“Fairy Lu, why bother with such futile resistance? We must take this mountain soul. If you insist on your own way, don’t blame us for being ruthless,” the eerily handsome man advised.

“You demons, stop wasting your breath. If you want to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense? I want to see if you can even take a single step into the Holy Mountain,”

Xiaoyan said calmly, completely unconcerned with the threats posed by the three demons.

The same was true for the three Holy Lords. Their fates had long been bound to the Holy Mountain’s spirit.

If anything happened to the spirit, their fate would be even more horrible than death.

Therefore, they would not back down.

“It seems there’s nothing more to discuss. I originally thought you were talented and wanted to take you as my concubine, but since you’re so stubborn, well, I’ll transform you into a demonic puppet, and that’ll be the same.”

Seeing Xiaoyan dare to refuse his offer, the eerily handsome man’s expression darkened.

His eyes grew cold, and he stared down with a stern gaze.

Then, with a backhand strike, a massive black hand slowly descended, obscuring the entire summit of the Holy Mountain, shrouding it in darkness.

“Lord Holy Lord, it seems this time, we must fight to the death.”

Xiaoyan’s voice was calm, but the First Holy Lord could hear the resolve in it.

He couldn’t help but say, “Fairy Lu, why don’t you retreat first? With your abilities, they might not be able to stop you, and their target is the Mountain Soul…”

But before he could finish his words, an incomparably cold, utterly murderous aura emanated from Xiaoyan.

Her aura continued to rise, soon surpassing a critical point, temporarily reaching a higher level.

Xiaoyan turned and said, “How can we retreat now? These demons are going to such great lengths to seize the Holy Mountain’s Soul. They must have a profound conspiracy.

If we don’t stop them, I’m afraid there will be even greater disasters in the future.

It’s just a desperate fight, so what’s there to fear?”

The First Saint Lord looked at Xiaoyan and was startled. Her eyes had turned as cold as ice.

He knew Xiaoyan must have used some overdraft secret technique to forcibly increase her strength.

But before he could say anything, Xiaoyan soared into the sky.

“I’ll stop them first. Lord Saint, please support me.”

“Brother, what should we do?”

The Second and Third Saint Lords looked at the First Saint Lord.

“What else can we do?” The First Saint Lord gave a wry smile. “Fairy Lu is right. It’s just a desperate fight. What’s there to fear? Without the Mountain Spirit, we would have been dead countless years ago.

We’ve survived all these years, which is a blessing. Let’s use that move.”

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, the Second and Third Saint Lords didn’t hesitate. They extended their palms, connecting them together to form a Three Elements Formation.

Suddenly, a strange aura emanated from them.

“Hmph! You overestimate your abilities!”

The enchantingly handsome man had been slowly pressing down with his palm, hoping to gradually break the First Saint Lord and his men’s hearts.

Now that they still wanted to resist, his last shred of patience vanished.

With a cold snort, he showed no mercy and sent his black palm down with the force of thunder.

Feeling the power of the black palm, Xiaoyan, who soared into the sky, showed no fear.

The long sword in her hand emerged, and a dazzling icy sword energy was slashed out by her.

Boom!

The sword energy slashed onto the black magic palm. Although it failed to cut it apart immediately, it temporarily stopped its downward trend.

Then the cold and evil energy contained in the sword energy burst out, and a layer of extremely cold frost began to spread over the black magic palm.

The icy feeling made the magic power inside seem to be unable to function properly.

“Hmm?”

The charming and handsome man felt this, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t expect that Xiaoyan could still burst out with such strength after losing the support of the formation power and be able to withstand his black magic palm.

Thinking of this, his desire to take her as a concubine became even stronger.

The mana within him surged even more, channeling into the black palm.

With this force, the black palm began to break the impasse, completely shattering the ice and striking Xiaoyan once again.

However, at this moment, a figure soared from the Holy Mountain and arrived at Xiaoyan’s side.

“Fairy Lu, I’m here to help!”

It was the First Saint Lord, whose aura was only slightly weaker than Xiaoyan’s.

Reaching Xiaoyan’s side, the First Saint Lord also slammed out a massive glazed palm, meeting the black palm overhead.

Another massive tremor erupted. Because he wasn’t cultivating the Five Elements, the First Saint Lord used a standard Myriad Law Palm, not the Five Elements Myriad Law Palm Lu Qing had recreated.

But even that standard Myriad Law Palm was inherited from the inner sect of a major sect in the Great World, and was far more sophisticated than the Black Sky Law Palm, the enchantingly handsome man’s creation.

Because the First Saint Lord’s palm strike, combined with Xiaoyan’s strength, actually broke the massive black palm, transforming it into a demonic aura that filled the sky.

“My Black Sky Palm was actually broken?”

Seeing this, the eerily handsome man was surprised.

The other two demons beside him were equally astonished.

Xie Feng’s Black Sky Palm was a spiritual-level Taoist technique. Even though their realm had regressed, their cultivation was still higher than Lu Xiaoyan and the others.

Logically speaking, they should not be able to withstand this move.

“Master Saint Lord, what is your cultivation level?”

Even Xiaoyan’s eyes flickered.

“It’s just a secret technique for blending cultivation, not worth mentioning. Let’s repel these demons first.”

The First Saint Lord smiled, but his aura showed signs of instability.

Xiaoyan sensed this and glanced at the Second and Third Saint Lords, whose breath was weakening. A vague understanding dawned on her.

She nodded slightly, “Alright, let’s slay the demons first.”

“So that’s how it is. It seems you’ve mastered some unknown secret technique.”

The eerily handsome man’s eyes lit up as a thought dawned on him.

“I never thought such exquisite Taoist secrets would appear in this world after we’ve slumbered for tens of thousands of years. Very well, all of this belongs to us!”

Before he could finish his words, the eerie, handsome man suddenly pointed, and a beam of black light suddenly shot out, striking the First Saint Lord.

This sudden attack, and the speed of the black light, was beyond imagination.

Even Xiaoyan, who had been concentrating on her guard, had only time to hastily strike with her sword.

Clang!

Xiaoyan’s sword slashed against the black light, but she discovered that its power was surprisingly great.

Despite her cultivation, she could only deflect the attack, failing to completely slash it open.

The black light pierced the First Saint Lord’s chest, leaving a gaping hole. The

First Saint Lord, struck by this devastating blow, felt as if struck by lightning. His body trembled violently, his aura rapidly fading, and he fell to the ground.

“Lord Saint Lord!”

Xiaoyan tried to rescue him, but the black light, having pierced through his chest, returned to engage him, momentarily distracting her.

Fortunately, at that moment, a figure soared from the Holy Mountain and caught the First Saint Lord’s body. They then quickly descended back to the Holy Mountain, preventing him from plummeting to the ground.

It was Han Lingshuang, who had been observing the battle, who seized the opportunity and rescued the First Saint Lord.

However, even after catching the First Saint Lord’s body, Han Lingshuang’s heart remained in suspense.

She saw that the First Saint Lord had fallen unconscious.

His face was shrouded in darkness, and the gaping hole in his chest had been eroded by a strange, demonic energy, turning even his internal organs pitch black.

The vital energy within her body was steadily dwindling. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before her life force was completely extinguished and she would perish.

Han Lingshuang tried to use talismans and elixirs to treat the First Saint Lord, but to little avail.

Seeing the First Saint Lord’s condition worsening, she grew increasingly anxious.

Even more worrying was that Xiaoyan was now surrounded by a strange black light, forced to take a defensive stance and on the verge of defeat.

And this was just one demonic being attacking; two more were watching closely from the sidelines.

“Is it really Heaven’s will to destroy our righteous path?”

Han Lingshuang’s eyes shone with despair. She wanted to help Xiaoyan,

but she knew that with her limited strength, advancing would only hinder Xiaoyan.

Just as Han Lingshuang stared at the sky in despair, her eyes suddenly opened slightly.

She saw a flash of sword light flying from outside the Holy Mountain, slashing towards the three demonic leaders.

The sword flashed without a trace of worldly energy, like the horns of an antelope, or like a scratch, leaving virtually no trace.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have noticed it at all, relying solely on her spiritual perception.

Even the three demons, late Jindan realm demons, initially failed to sense the incoming sword.

Only when the sword flashed within a hundred feet did they feel a chill run through their veins.

“What?”

The three demons’ hair stood on end, and they immediately dodged to the sides.

But a hundred feet was nothing to warriors of their realm.

As soon as the three demons moved, the sword flash split into three, slicing through their flesh.

“Ah!”

The three sword flashes were so powerful, so sharp, that the protective demonic energy of the three demons was rendered useless, and they were directly slashed through.

Even their formidable demonic bodies couldn’t fully withstand the sharp sword light, and were shattered by it.

Suddenly, the demonic blood sword soared through the sky, and the three demonic leaders, the enchantingly handsome man, were severely wounded.

“Who is it?!”

This sudden change not only shocked and enraged the three demonic leaders,

but also Xiaoyan and the others on and off the Holy Mountain.

Everyone turned in the direction of the sword light.

Then they saw an old man in plain clothes, sword in hand, stepping through the air, stepping towards the Holy Mountain.

With each step, a wave of spiritual energy like a sword’s gleam emerged from his feet. A

faint sword energy surged in the air around him, slicing in all directions.

“Is this, Doctor Chen?!”

At the entrance of a cave atop the Holy Mountain, Lin Zhirui, who had already reached the perfect stage of foundation building, stared at the old doctor approaching from afar, his mouth wide open.

“Brother Zhirui, do you know that senior?”

the disciple beside him asked hurriedly.

But he didn’t wait for Lin Zhirui’s answer, because Lin Zhirui’s heart was already filled with shock and he couldn’t hear his words at all.

“Grandpa Chen…”

Xiaoyan, whose face was originally cold, was stunned when she saw the old doctor.

She didn’t expect that Grandpa Chen would come all the way here.

“Good child, thank you for your hard work.”

The old doctor walked towards Xiaoyan step by step. The three demons felt a chill in their hearts as they sensed his aura, and for a moment, they dared not act rashly.

The old doctor walked up to Xiaoyan, looked into her eyes, and sensing the cold and murderous aura emanating from her, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

For all these years, he had been stationed in Jiuli Village, and had rarely had the opportunity to meet Xiaoyan.

Seeing her condition now, he immediately understood that since the rampage of the demonic cultivators, this child must have experienced a lot and suffered a lot.

“Grandpa Chen, how did you come here? That village…”

Xiaoyan said anxiously, as if she had thought of something.

“Don’t worry about the village. I’ve asked your brother to come out and preside over the formation. Everything will be fine.”

“Brother!”

Xiaoyan was overjoyed, but she quickly realized that Grandpa Chen was talking about her brother’s puppet body that had been cultivating in the Jade Cave.

“Okay, you’re tired too. Leave the rest to Grandpa Chen.”

The old doctor ruffled Xiaoyan’s hair, then turned and looked at the three strangely handsome men, with waves of murderous intent surging in his body. (End of this chapter)
