Unstoppable

Leave this to me.

Accompanied by a bold voice, Xiao Xuan strode onto the stage.

Chapter 174 Unstoppable Fierceness

Compared to Xiao Xuan when they parted last time, Si Ming felt that his senior uncle had undergone a completely new change, a change that was not reflected in his appearance but rather in his spirit.

After escaping, Xiao Xuan seemed lost and confused. He may have had a goal of revenge and an object of revenge, but he had not thought carefully about how to take revenge or what results would constitute a successful revenge.

For the past ten years, all he had been thinking about was breaking free from his confinement. Revenge was merely a goal after he was freed, and he had not formulated any concrete plans to put them into action. Therefore, when he was finally freed, he was instead plunged into a state of bewilderment, not knowing where to go next.

But now that they met again, Xiao Xuan had completely shaken off that sense of bewilderment. He exuded an aura of unwavering determination, and his eyes were exceptionally firm, like a lost traveler who had found light in the darkness, clearly knowing where he was headed.

To use a common plot from kung fu movies as an analogy, he was previously a down-on-his-luck protagonist, carrying sandbags at the docks, living a life of hardship with a full beard, just getting by day by day. Now, he is a protagonist who has risen again, surrounded by companions and confidants, full of energy, and eagerly preparing to launch a final counterattack against the villain.

This mental state, when reflected in his martial arts cultivation, made Si Ming feel that his senior uncle might have made another breakthrough.

Ten years of imprisonment did not make Xiao Xuan depressed. On the contrary, it was like a grinding machine that polished him into a more perfect person, allowing him to enter a state of returning to simplicity and control the vast energy within his body as if it were his own arm.

Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, taking one step forward. A strange creature attacked him, shooting out tendrils that resembled tentacles. These tendrils were slightly slower than crossbow bolts, but because they could turn and adjust their trajectory mid-flight, their accuracy was much higher. Ordinary people had no chance to dodge them and would be entangled as soon as they met them.

Xiao Xuan didn't dodge; he didn't even notice the alien creature. He walked straight toward the giant alien.

When the vines shot towards him came within five meters, they suddenly froze. The entire alien creature seemed to be frozen in place, then its whole body trembled violently. With a loud "bang," it turned into a shower of flying bone fragments and wood chips, leaving no trace of its remains.

Xiao Xuan seems to possess an innate "artistic" domain. Any alien creatures that come into contact with this domain will uncontrollably self-destruct, while humans remain unaffected.

Upon Murong Qing was bewildered. "What's going on?"

Si Ming pondered, "It should be about releasing the True Qi within the body while simultaneously confining it to the vicinity of the body to prevent it from dissipating. Once you step into the area where the True Qi located, it's equivalent to making contact with it. As for the method of causing those little monsters to self-destruct, it's a variation of the 'Blue Moon Light Burst'."

Blue Moon Light Burst can only be unleashed by Si Ming, it cannot be retracted, making it a consumable crowd control skill. However, with Xiao Xuan's cultivation level, achieving precise control is not a difficult task.

Once a part of the alien creature enters the True Qi Domain, it will be impacted by bow-shaped shockwaves and ultraviolet radiation. Shockwaves alone will only damage the body structure, and radiation alone will only ignite it. Only when both occur simultaneously will a self-destruction occur.

When people discovered this, they rushed towards Xiao Xuan. As long as they got behind Xiao Xuan, they would be safe, because the alien creatures in front of him would all self-destruct upon his arrival, as if they had run into a wall of death.

Heart Moon Fox chuckled, "Actually, most Spirit Transformation cultivators can create a domain by releasing their True Qi, but five meters is their limit. Once they exceed five meters, their control decreases drastically. However, Lord Xiao Xuan's total True Essence far surpasses that of ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivators, reaching ten meters. If he doesn't pursue lethality, it can extend to twenty meters at its furthest—a domain is calculated by volume, not straight-line distance. Every meter more means a difference in cultivation level."

Si Ming pondered that the "True Scripture of Great Number Decay and Rupture" trains the physical body, not Internal Cultivation. The absorbed nuclear radiation is hidden in the body and transformed into Jing Essence rather than Qi Essence. His master's Internal Cultivation is either due to his own accumulation or because he found a way to transform nuclear radiation into Qi Essence.

Murong Qing looked at Heart Moon Fox and asked, "Judging from your tone, it seems you've completely submitted to Senior Xiao?"

"The Demon Race reveres the strong, and Lord Xiao Xuan's strength is extraordinary. My former patron, Duke Azure Dragon, is already dead. What's so strange about me switching allegiance to Lord Xiao Xuan?" Heart Moon Fox asked with a smile.

"Although we've only known each other for a few days, I'm very clear about Senior Xiao's attitude towards Demon Beast. If one day Senior Xiao has to fight against the demonic tide, how do you plan to handle the situation?"

"Hehe, what a pointless question. Are you humans allowed to fight amongst yourselves, but we Demon Race aren't allowed to kill each other? Just look at history; the species that has slaughtered the most humans is humanity itself."

"That's different. Humans only kill each other for their own benefit, not to help other races by slaughtering other humans."

"But you've got one thing wrong. Everyone says humans evolved from Monkey, but would humans consider Monkey their own kind? This standard applies to the Demon Race as well. Demons who can't transform are Monkey, and demons who can transform are humans," Heart Moon Fox revealed a cold smile, "For my future, I have no choice but to let those Monkey die!"

Her words were so confident and self-righteous that Murong Qing was left speechless.

"Besides, it's not impossible for demons and humans to coexist." Heart Moon Fox turned her gaze to He Qichang not far away, a playful smile on her face. "They say love can transcend height, age, gender... even species. Today, I finally believe it."

The speaker meant it, and the listener took it to heart as well. Murong Qing and Si Ming were startled and couldn't help but look at He Qichang, who murmured, "Beast-eared girls are cute, beast-eared men aren't cute at all."

Heart Moon Fox, with her sharp ears, complained, "I'm also a beast-eared girl, why didn't you show me any mercy last time?"

"At that time, it was a matter of friend or foe. No matter how cute the enemy was, when it was time to be ruthless, you had to be ruthless. I'm not some pervert who can't take his eyes off a beautiful woman."

Si Ming replied casually, then looked her over and said, "You give me a completely different feeling now. Your Yao Qi has been completely suppressed. Although you still have a tail showing, you look like an ordinary human woman wearing a role-playing uniform. You have no demonic aura at all."

Murong Qing couldn't help but say, "Ordinary human women don't wear role-playing uniforms."

Heart Moon Fox laughed smugly, "That's because I learned your Human Race martial arts. There's a Cultivation Method in it that's particularly suited to my Cultivation Body, which caused a transformation. But I never expected that you wouldn't have noticed my disguise from beginning to end, and even bought me food. Hehe, you're really quite amusing—I was originally planning to take this opportunity to teach you a lesson and get revenge for last time, but for the sake of this meal, this old woman won't hold it against you."

Just as Si Ming was about to retort, "Even if you hold a grudge, there's nothing you can do about it," he suddenly felt the ground tremble violently. He quickly turned around and saw that Xiao Xuan was already facing off against the giant alien species.

"Submit, or die!"

Xiao Xuan did not speak, but his will was accurately conveyed, making everyone present understand his meaning.

Communicating thoughts using Divine Sense is an ability possessed only by Spirit Transformation cultivators, allowing them to bypass language barriers and communicate with all intelligent beings.

The giant mutant reacted with fury, swinging its thick arms made of vines at its tiny prey. The dense vines compressed the True Qi Domain, binding Xiao Xuan tightly.

True Qi Domain can be used to deal with the weak, but it is difficult to be effective against opponents of the same level. For example, Spirit Transformation expert would never use True Qi Domain to deal with Spirit Transformation expert, as it would be meaningless.

However, there are always exceptions.

Want to test your strength?

The True Qi Domain beside Xiao Xuan suddenly transformed into a pair of giant hands, grabbing the vines in reverse and pulling them violently, tearing the 30-meter-tall giant alien creature to the ground. Then, he exerted force with both hands, and a shockwave ten thousand times stronger than before spread along the vines. Instantly, all sounds rang out, the sky and earth changed color, and the air swirled in layers, constantly crackling and popping as if space itself was about to shatter.

Under the impact of the shockwave, the vines rapidly expanded and burst, spreading upwards section by section with a "bang bang bang" sound, with broken branches flying everywhere. Soon, they reached the giant alien's shoulder, turning into a loud explosion that destroyed a large part of its body.

The giant mutant trembled violently, its invisible consciousness spreading out and sweeping out in waves of air. It had no throat and could not make a sound, but everyone present could feel an incomparably angry will.

"Oh, still have fighting spirit? Do you think you still have the ability to resist?"

Xiao Xuan extended his hand, gesturing for you to proceed. "Come on, show me what you're capable of. If you can force me to use my full strength, why not spare your life?"

The giant alien creature stood up, its empty eyes flashing red light. A large amount of Primal Qi gathered towards it, and the clouds in the sky were shaped into funnels by the airflow, with a buzzing sound echoing nearby.

The next moment, a cross-shaped red light flashed, bursting out a circular ring of energy. All the gathered Primal Qi was compressed into a beam of light smaller than a fist, which shot out through the heavens and earth!
