Chapter 116: Chapter 116

"Since you have the ginseng, that makes things much easier," Zhang Xiaohao said with a playful smile.

A thick, crimson aura of killing intent enveloped him, his body blurred, and like a bolt of lightning, he threw a pair of iron fists without any fancy maneuvers, carrying a tremendous sound of breaking air.

"Hmph! Just because you’re adept in Daoist skills, it doesn’t mean your cultivation is profound. I am a mighty cultivator at the Peak of Early-stage Foundation Establishment, and you dare to meddle in my affairs? I want you dead!" Elder Huo sneered coldly.

Facing the powerful barrage of iron fists from Zhang Xiaohao, he roared, "Eagle Divine Claw!"

His two withered palms waved, flashing with cold light and swirling dark mists, fiercely clawing at Zhang Xiaohao.

"Suppress him!" Zhang Xiaohao roared, his eyes filled with disdain. True Qi burst out from his body, and without using any martial techniques, his domineering fist slammed directly.

The violent fist struck Elder Huo, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut.

As he flew backward, Elder Huo felt a massive savage force invade his body. A sweetness rose in his chest and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood, laying on the ground powerless and lifeless, like a dead dog.

"I will say it again, hand over the ginseng, and I will give you a quick death!" Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

"Hmph! Don’t celebrate too soon, you think you’ve already won? If so, let me tell you, you’re destined to be disappointed!" Elder Huo sneered menacingly.

"Really? Old man, have you not played all your tricks yet? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, take your move while you still can!" Zhang Xiaohao taunted.

"Hmph! You better watch closely, young fool, this time I’ll ensure you have no chance of turning over!" Elder Huo sneered.

He took out a black bell and held it in his hand.

Looking triumphantly at Zhang Xiaohao, he flipped his palm, and shook it vigorously.

With the shaking of the black bell, zombies in the black array were about to break out of the formation.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohao frowned slightly and looked indifferently at the zombies in the black array.

"It’s you! The zombie that harmed those innocent women was also yours, wasn’t it?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Indeed! That zombie was mine, and it looks like you destroyed it! Tonight is a godsend, for I have found the main culprit. You dare destroy my zombie, I will tear you into thousands of pieces!" Elder Huo roared ferociously.

"Tear to pieces? I should return those very words to you, it’s all because of you that my friend was poisoned by zombie toxins. After searching for so long, I finally found you, and soon I’ll make sure you die with eyes wide open, your soul unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation," Zhang Xiaohao said, brimming with killing intent.

He flipped his palm and took out a golden bell.

As the zombies in the black array were about to break free, Zhang Xiaohao, with undisguised scorn, bit his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the golden bell.

"Hehe... stop struggling, kid. Not even if you drained all the blood from your body would you survive tonight!" Elder Huo sneered coldly.

"Really? Open your dog eyes and watch closely," Zhang Xiaohao said lightly.

He employed the Three Pure Daoist Skill, gripping the golden bell and shaking it vigorously.

One after another, golden tadpole-like runes flew out of the golden bell with each shake, pressing down toward the zombies in the black array.

The golden runes struck the zombies, causing them to emit piercing screams of agony. Sparks exploded from their bodies like steel clashing together.

"Fall down!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered, clenching the golden bell and giving a fierce shake.

Bursts of dense golden tadpole notes erupted from the bells and struck the zombie.

A resentful scream burst from the zombie’s mouth. Just one hit, and it was already suppressed to the ground by the righteous and forceful golden tadpole notes, completely disabled.

"Old man, now let’s see what tricks you have left"—Xiaohao sneered with murderous intent—"I already said tonight, no matter who comes, I’m going to skin you and pull out your tendons, making sure your soul will never ascend!"

Seeing Xiaohao walking towards him, Elder Huo finally became frightened.

His most prized Five Sons United Demon was destroyed, his zombies, his right-hand supports, were also suppressed, and his profound cultivation, which he had relied upon, seemed so trivial in the eyes of the opponent, effortlessly beaten into a half-dead state with just one punch.

"You, don’t come any closer! If you do, I won’t be polite anymore," Elder Huo said, his threatening demeanor belying his internal panic.

"Humph, not polite? Fine, if you’re able, bring it on. I want to see how you’ll be impolite to me," Xiaohao retorted.

"You little bastard, stop right there. If you dare come any closer, I’ll destroy this two-thousand-year-old ginseng!" At that moment, Elder Huo flipped his palm and coldly threatened with a delicate jade box he pulled out from his bosom.

"Are you fucking stupid?" Xiaohao scoffed disdainfully.

Moving with the Twelve Heavenly Steps, his figure blurred like a ghost and in an instant, he was in front of Elder Huo. Before he could react, Xiaohao seized the two-thousand-year-old ginseng from his hand, and his right foot violently stomped down on his head. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

With a crunch, his head was smashed to a pulp.

Xiaohao pulled out some Corpse Dissolving Powder, sprinkled a bit on the corpse, and within moments, his body was corroded away, turning into a puddle of thick liquid.

Picking up the two-thousand-year-old ginseng, he also collected the black bell and the Soul Summoning Banner from the ground.

Glancing at the black array, he saw that by now, there was no living soul left within; all the ancient martial cultivators inside had been killed by the zombies.

The essence of their flesh and blood had been forcibly extracted by the Bloodthirsty Devouring Spirit Array Xiaohao had set up in the deep forest, leaving the array before him a mere empty shell.

With a flip of his palm, Xiaohao unleashed the Sky Flipping Seal, and a large, translucent palm imprint violently struck down.

With a thunderous boom,

he shattered the black array, and even the zombie inside it was obliterated.

Approaching a small mound, he felt a dense, cold aura emanating from beneath.

Xiaohao knew this was the aura of the Five Sons United Demon Queen. Sneering coldly, he flipped his right hand and True Qi burst forth explosively, as a larger golden palm imprint slammed down.

Through a meter-deep layer, the ground and the Five Sons United Demon Queen beneath it were obliterated into pieces.

Having done all this, Xiaohao sprang up, leaping to grab the paper crane on the tree branch, stood on the treetop, and transformed into a streak of light, dashing towards the forest.

Having absorbed the essence of the flesh and blood of a group of ancient martial cultivators, the Yin Pearl underwent another transformation, its exterior turning into a sinister red, emitting a vast aura of bloodthirstiness.

Xiaohao grabbed the Yin Pearl in his palm and casually stored it inside the Shennong Ring.

Without the Yin Pearl’s support, the surrounding Bloodthirsty Devouring Spirit Array instantly dispersed.
