Annihilation! Returning to Refine a Physical Body!

Annihilation! Returning to Refine a Physical Body!

"Old Hu, do you really think I care about the position of Grand Elder?"

Grand Elder Su Qian looked at Hu Qian and said, "I began observing him the day he killed Han Feng and defeated the Fallen Heart Flame. But that kid seemed to see through my intentions and told me outright that he only wanted to be a quiet, free guardian like the Thousand-Hundred Two Elders."

"Who would have thought that, at such a young age, he had already seen through this world."

Hu Qian stroked his beard. "Enjoying freedom is the true way!"

In the sky, the tri-colored mushroom cloud gradually dispersed.

Just as everyone believed Earth Demon Old Ghost had already been buried in the sea of flames, dense black mist spread from the center of the earlier explosion.

Earth Demon Old Ghost emerged from the black mist.

Though he had successfully escaped disaster, his face was much paler, and his clothes were tattered in many places.

Meeting Jiang Han's smiling gaze, Earth Demon Old Ghost's eyes brimmed with boundless killing intent.

"Blood Chill Extreme Freezing Sky!"

With a furious roar, a series of hissing sounds erupted from Earth Demon Old Ghost's body. Then, countless streams of black chilling air shot from the pores across his body.

Unlike before, this chilling air was mixed with crimson, as if it had fused with his own blood.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black-and-crimson chilling air rapidly swelled.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive black frigid cloud dozens of zhang wide.

As the frigid cloud emerged, strange tiny ice crystals fell from it alongside rippling bolts of lightning.

"This old bastard's methods are truly terrifying!" Hu Qian could not help but curse.

When those ice crystals landed on his body, Hu Qian could clearly feel even his Dou Qi being frozen solid. Only by promptly circulating his Dou Qi could he resist them.

As for those with weaker strength, their faces instantly turned blue. Some even collapsed and fainted on the spot.

Jiang Han crossed his arms before his chest and watched Earth Demon Old Ghost with great interest.

He allowed the ice crystals from the frigid cloud to fall onto him.

More precisely, before those ice crystals could even approach Jiang Han, they had already been evaporated by the tri-colored flames clinging to the surface of his body.

Just as everyone thought Earth Demon Old Ghost and Jiang Han were about to engage in an even fiercer battle—

Earth Demon Old Ghost's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he viciously slammed a fist into his own chest.

The next moment!

A mouthful of blood sprayed violently from his mouth. Instead of scattering downward, the blood directly enveloped his body.

As the blood mist wrapped around him, the space surrounding Earth Demon Old Ghost rapidly distorted.

Bang!

The blood mist exploded, and Earth Demon Old Ghost's figure vanished into thin air.

"He... he escaped!"

The sudden turn of events on the battlefield left all the spectators stunned.

Even Su Qian and Hu Qian stared at each other in disbelief.

Jiang Han was stunned as well.

He had not even finished warming up!

And the other party had already chosen to end things?

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Han no longer bothered concealing his strength and carefully spread out his senses.

A moment later.

Jiang Han flicked his sleeve, and a ripple like a wave of water surged into the empty space.

The ripple lightly swept past, and everyone watched in astonishment as a black crack suddenly and strangely tore open in the nearby void.

Then, a bedraggled figure was squeezed out of it.

When they saw the figure spat out by the spatial crack, everyone was shocked once more. It was Earth Demon Old Ghost, who had fled earlier.

"Sp... spatial power!"

"A Dou Zun powerhouse!"

Su Qian, Hu Qian, and all the spectators had disbelief written across their faces.

Even Xiao Xun'er, whose expression had remained largely unchanged throughout, revealed a look of astonishment on her beautiful face.

On the battlefield, when Earth Demon Old Ghost sensed that spatial power, his face filled with regret, and fear surged into his heart.

He punched himself again!

A second attempt at Space Blood Escape!

This was his life-saving method. It injured himself severely, but it could preserve his life.

Unfortunately!

This time, he had encountered a true powerhouse who understood spatial power.

After Earth Demon Old Ghost vanished again, Jiang Han swiftly flew eastward as well.

Two minutes later.

Jiang Han returned to his original position, carrying a cold corpse in his hand.

Looking closely.

It was Earth Demon Old Ghost, whose escape had failed.

"Kid Jiang, have you become a Dou Zun?"

Su Qian and Hu Qian could not help asking at the same time.

"You two think too highly of me. Right now, I'm only slightly stronger than the Thousand-Hundred Two Elders. I merely know how to use some rudimentary spatial power."

As Jiang Han spoke, he demonstrated his spatial power once more. "Compared to a true Dou Zun, I still have quite a ways to go. At best, I count as half a Dou Zun."

Listening to Jiang Han's infuriatingly modest words, the corners of Su Qian and Hu Qian's mouths twitched slightly.

"My lord, do you still wish to exchange for this Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill? Although the venue has been destroyed, our transaction can still continue."

On the auction stage, Mo Tianxing, the Black Emperor Sect's sect master, came back to his senses. Holding the jade box containing the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill in one hand, he flew over to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han did not even glance at Mo Tianxing.

He directly threw a full-force punch of a Half-Step Dou Zun.

Caught off guard, Mo Tianxing did not even have time to react before becoming a corpse.

Afterward, Jiang Han stretched out his hand, and the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill fell into his palm.

As the auction's host, Mo Tianxing had watched from the sidelines when a guest was attacked, restrained only by the attacker's strength.

Jiang Han deeply despised such a host.

Especially when the attacked guest had been him!

"Grand Elder Su, Headmaster Hu, I'll return to the academy first."

After bidding Su Qian and Hu Qian farewell, Jiang Han quickly headed back.

Not long after Jiang Han left, the spectators gradually dispersed.

In less than an hour, news that the founder of Demon Flame Valley and the sect master of the Black Emperor Sect had been killed spread throughout the entire Black-Corner Region.

Portraits of Jiang Han also began circulating in secret.

Everyone feared they might accidentally kick this iron plate.

Within the mountain range between Canaan's Inner Academy and Outer Academy.

After Jiang Han landed at the usual spot, he waved his hand. An invisible gust of force lifted Earth Demon Old Ghost's corpse into the air.

"Give me a strand of your soul power!" Jiang Han said.

Hearing this, Heaven Flame Venerable immediately separated a strand of soul power from between his brows, sending it drifting toward Jiang Han.

Jiang Han grabbed the strand of soul power and threw it into the corpse, then tossed the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill toward Heaven Flame Venerable. "Take this first."

Heaven Flame Venerable nodded excitedly. Without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed the pill into his mouth, his expression filled with excitement.

The next step.

Jiang Han took out the jade bottle containing the essence blood of a Tier 7 Magical Beast and crushed it with force, sending the blood drifting out.

At the same time.

Tri-Colored Strange Fire surged forth, carrying the essence blood of the Tier 7 Magical Beast as it poured over the corpse.

As the Strange Fire and blood entered, Earth Demon Old Ghost's corpse, which had originally been pale and icy cold, gradually gained a faint trace of color.

Half an hour later.

The corpse's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open.

Within those hollow eyes, faint pulses of vitality actually appeared.

However, this trace of vitality was not Earth Demon Old Ghost's final resurgence before death, but originated from Heaven Flame Venerable's strand of soul power.

"Now!"

The instant the corpse opened its eyes, Jiang Han gave the signal.

Having long been on standby, Heaven Flame Venerable heard Jiang Han's shout and unhesitatingly entered the corpse, whose surface was still covered in tri-colored flames.
