Chapter 465: When Cutting Grass, One Has To Dig Up The Roots!

Kong Xuan actually pursued Tu Anbang to Crescent Island?

Killing his Essence Soul wasn’t enough, he wanted to destroy his physical body as well?

However, in his shoes, Kong Xuan did this to prevent future trouble.

If the roots were not removed when cutting grass, they would grow again in the spring breeze.

Since he had already killed the Essence Soul, he naturally had to get rid of the physical body as well.

Didn’t you see that Tu Anbang’s physical body was guarding Crescent Island instead of remaining in Xuanyin Sect’s main camp?

Tu Anbang was doing this to provide stronger power for the Essence Soul.

Although there was a connection between the physical body and the Essence Soul, the further away they were, the more difficult it was to circulate soul power.

Not everyone was like Su Jingxing. He had extracted a Soul Splitting Card that allowed his physical body and Essence Soul to be unaffected by each other across space.

For most martial artists in the Transcendent-grade realms, the physical body and Essence Soul would not be far away from each other.

Tu Anbang’s physical body was on Crescent Island because the headquarters of the Xuanyin Sect was too far away from the Yu Nation.

Now that Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was here, Tu Anbang could only admit defeat.

…

“Wrong?”

In the air, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul glanced at Tu Zhenglie and then at Tu Anbang’s physical body.

“Y-yes, I was wrong. We are willing to compensate… compensate!”

Tu Anbang held his breath and spoke with difficulty.

“Compensate?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul glanced at Tu Zhenglie again and said coldly, “What’s your name? Who are you to this old fellow?”

“…I… I’m Tu Zhenglie.”

Gritting his teeth, Tu Zhenglie chose to be honest and introduced himself. “I’m the current Sect Master of the Xuanyin Sect. Tu Anbang, whom you’re holding, is my father.”

“I see.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul nodded in realization.

In the next moment, the claw imprint that imprisoned Tu Anbang’s body suddenly exerted force.

Bam!

Pieces of flesh flew everywhere, and blood rained down.

[Card+1]

“No!”

Tu Zhenglie screamed, his eyes red. He roared in grief and indignation, “Kong Xuan, you’re asking for…”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul lifted its head. The Thunder Dragon eye guard shot out three sword-shaped beams of light that tore through space and pounced towards Tu Zhenglie.

It was too fast. Tu Zhenglie, who was filled with grief and indignation, had no time to dodge.

Bang!

The first sword-shaped light beam struck the barrier that appeared on Tu Zhenglie’s body and collapsed with it.

Plkch!

The second sword-shaped light beam pierced through Tu Zhenglie’s chest and through the Essence Soul’s body.

Tu Zhenglie’s Essence Soul body swayed and flickered. It turned illusory, materialized, and repeatedly switched.

Before it could turn illusory and escape, the third sword-shaped light beam arrived and pierced through Tu Zhenglie’s chest again, doubling the size of the wound.

Boom! Boom!

White light bloomed and swept through the air.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul waved its hand and executed the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand. It struck Tu Zhenglie’s Essence Soul that was constantly changing between being illusory and material.

The swarming white light instantly drowned Tu Zhenglie.

When Ji Haisheng, Tao Wanru, and Old Ghost Li regained their vision and looked towards Tu Zhenglie, he had already disappeared.

Not a single residue was left behind. They were all dead.

[Card+1]

The extraction notification flashed past, and the sky and ground were silent.

Ji Haisheng, Tao Wanru, and Old Ghost Li were all silent.

To be precise, they were stunned!

Three sword beams and a palm imprint. Tu Zhenglie did not even have a chance to attack before his Essence Soul body was killed.

How could someone with such strength have just advanced to the Transcendent-grade?

Void Soul?

Soul Fixation was more like it!

Dead silence.

The air was terrifyingly quiet.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the location of Tu Zhenglie’s physical body and remained silent.

Since he did not speak, Old Ghost Li naturally did not dare to make a sound or escape.

Who knew if Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul would treat him as Tu Zhenglie’s accomplice and kill him if he moved around recklessly?

Tu Zhenglie was in the seventh class of the Void Soul realm. He could not resist at all.

Old Ghost Li, who was in the eighth class of the Void Soul realm, did not think that he could escape from the hands of Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

However, not daring to move did not mean that Old Ghost Li would resign himself to fate and place his chance of survival in the hands of Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, determined by Kong Xuan’s preferences.

“I… I…I’m Li Mocong. I’m from the Asura Palace. Greetings, Martial Sage Kong!”

Old Ghost Li made his stand clear. He was not on the same side as Tu Zhenglie and Tu Anbang.

To that, the Essence Soul, which had just received the deduction outcome, glanced at him and remained silent.

The next moment, its body turned illusory and it left through the air.

It headed straight for the headquarters of the Xuanyin Sect, the Xuanyin Islands!

Tu Zhenglie’s physical body was left in the headquarters of the Xuanyin Sect.

It had already killed Tu Anbang and Tu Zhenglie’s Essence Souls. Naturally, it had to get rid of Tu Zhenglie’s physical body as well!

When cutting grass, one had to dig up the roots!

…

Hu~

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul left.

Old Ghost Li sensed his surroundings for a while. After confirming that this Kong Xuan had really left Crescent Island, he exhaled and relaxed.

The face under the black robe distorted and struggled. The light in his eyes flickered quickly as he fell into deep thought.

Moments later, he also turned illusory and rushed to the Xuanyin Islands!

…

“They’re gone.”

Tao Wanru, who was watching from afar, swallowed her saliva and retracted her gaze. She said in disbelief, “This Kong Xuan is so powerful. He’s at least in the Soul Fixation realm! Moreover, his cultivation is above the sixth class! Brother Ji, you were right earlier. This person is too mysterious. He suddenly appeared. How long has it been since he took over the Yu Nation? He has already advanced to the sixth class?”

After a pause, Tao Wanru’s eyes lit up. She took a deep breath and said, “Did he really inherit the legacy of some ancient Primordial Spirit realm expert?”

“I don’t know if he has a legacy.”

Beside him, Ji Haisheng’s body surged with light, and his eyes shone brightly. He said sarcastically, “All I know is that this Martial Sage Kong is extraordinarily bold!”

“Hmm?”

Tao Wanru was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Big Brother Ji, are you saying…”

“That’s right. This Kong Xuan, Martial Sage Kong, has gone to the Xuanyin Islands!”

Ji Haisheng looked a little excited. “Not only did he kill Tu Anbang, he also wants to completely destroy Tu Zhenglie! Perhaps the entire Xuanyin Sect will also be wiped out!”

“But, but the Xuanyin Sect still has a Transcendent-grade expert!”

Tao Wanru was also a little agitated, inexplicably excited. “If I remember correctly, the Xuanyin Patriarch is still alive! He is in the Soul Formation realm. It’s said that he has already touched the threshold of the Primordial Spirit realm and is about to cross it and become a Primordial Spirit!”

“If Kong Xuan ends things here and returns to the Yu Nation, the Xuanyin Patriarch might not find trouble with him. Isn’t giving chase him to the Xuanyin Islands forcing the Patriarch to take action?”

“That’s why I said he’s bold!”

Ji Haisheng took a deep breath and said excitedly, “If the Xuanyin Sect wants to kill him, he will destroy the entire sect. However, what he doesn’t know is that the true core of the Xuanyin Sect has never been Tu Zhenglie, nor is it Tu Anbang. Instead, it is the Xuanyin Patriarch who is still alive today!”

“Come, let’s go to the Xuanyin Islands too. Let’s see whether Kong Xuan will destroy the sect or will this Martial Sage Kong thus disappear!”
