Chapter 142

Ahhh, I, Charlotte, really just wanted to help you guys!!!

153. Outer Dao and heretics should be punished by everyone.

In the night sky, Xiao Minghuang slowly landed on the ground, her light steps like snowflakes leaving no trace. A faint smile graced her beautiful face as her eyes swept over the crowd before finally settling on Li Chunyan.

Li Chunyan's heart raced and her cheeks flushed as she was stared at by Xiao Minghuang's eyes, which were as bright as stars.

She hadn't expected Xiao Minghuang to suddenly appear and save them.

"Thank you, Princess Xiao!"

Li Chunyan respectfully clasped her hands in greeting.

It was nothing, no need to be so polite.

Xiao Minghuang smiled gently and nodded slightly.

Looking at Xiao Minghuang's slightly upturned lips and the faint smile in his eyes, Li Chunyan felt her heart flutter and her heartbeat quicken.

Xiao Minghuang's beauty was dreamlike and ethereal, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs, so fleeting that she seemed about to vanish with the wind at any moment. Her beauty was breathtaking, so captivating that one could not look away.

Looking at Xiao Minghuang, Li Chunyan felt ashamed and lowered her head to hide the shyness in her eyes.

The other members of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were also filled with gratitude. If it weren't for Princess Xiao's divine power that suppressed Wang Xiao, they would have surely died today.

"Thank you so much Princess Xiao, for saving me!"

"If it weren't for the princess's rescue, we would surely be dead!"

"If the princess gives any orders in the future, I will dare not disobey!"

Xiao Minghuang chuckled and waved his hand, saying:

"To help those in need is the duty of us cultivators; there's no need for such formalities!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again filled with awe and respect.

Princess Xiao was not only incredibly powerful, but also possessed such noble character. She never bullied the weak, but instead repaid evil with kindness—truly a unique figure in heaven and earth.

The gazes of the crowd toward Xiao Minghuang held even greater reverence.

Xiao Minghuang suppressed her smile, turned to look at Wang Xiao beside her, her gaze calm and serene, and said indifferently:

"I've heard that the Dragon Tiger Sect cultivates the <Dragon Tiger Body Tempering Method>, which is a righteous path of Body Cultivator. As the second disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect, why are you killing people to practice your skills?"

As one of the Three Great Sects in the Southern Border, the Dragon Tiger Sect, though domineering in its actions, is also a righteous sect and naturally must draw a clear line between itself and Outer Dao.

However, Wang Xiao Minghuang found it hard to understand why Wang Xiao would do such a heinous thing, and couldn't help but become suspicious.

Wang Xiao snorted coldly:

"This is my private matter, what's it to you?"

Xiao Minghuang raised an eyebrow:

"Are you trying to hide it? Are you practicing some kind of heretical cultivation technique?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao's face instantly turned extremely gloomy:

"What nonsense are you spouting! I cultivate righteous and upright techniques, how could I possibly be practicing evil cultivation methods!"

Xiao Minghuang glanced at him indifferently:

"If it's not an evil cultivation technique, then why kill people to practice it?"

Seeing that Xiao Minghuang wouldn't let go of the matter of the cultivation technique, Wang Xiao became even angrier. He was already seriously injured, and now, in his anger, he felt his blood rush to his head, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Puff!"

"Second Senior Brother!"

"Second Senior Brother, are you alright?!"

The disciples surrounded Wang Xiao again, looking at him with concern.

They didn't care whether Wang Xiao practiced evil cultivation techniques or not.

All they knew was that Wang Xiao was their second senior brother, and that their fates were intertwined, sharing both glory and ruin.

Wang Xiao's breath grew increasingly weak, yet he remained defiant. Pointing at Xiao Minghuang in the sky, he said viciously:

"Go get her! Kill her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fear filled the eyes of the disciples, and none of them dared to fight.

Everyone present witnessed that earth-shattering blow. Even Wang Xiao, at the Spring Gushing Peak Realm, was severely injured in one move. How could they dare to provoke him?

"Second Senior Brother, Princess Xiao is not so easy to deal with. Shall we go and ask Eldest Senior Brother for help?"

One of the disciples tentatively asked.

Among the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Xue Wushang was the most respected, and even Wang Xiao acknowledged his authority.

Upon hearing the words "Senior Brother," Wang Xiao gradually calmed down. After a moment, he struggled to his feet, glared at Xiao Minghuang, and said fiercely:

"This isn't over yet, you just wait!"

After saying this, Wang Xiao turned and left without waiting for Xiao Minghuang's reaction.

"Wait."

Xiao Minghuang suddenly called out to him.

Wang Xiao froze, stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Xiao Minghuang, and said coldly:

"What? Princess Xiao, you still want to stop me?"

"You still haven't answered me: why do you kill people to practice your martial arts!"

Xiao Minghuang's voice was like a sharp sword, piercing Wang Xiao's heart and making him stiffen.

Wang Xiao was terrified. He knew very well that the woman in front of him had already reached the Divine Sea Realm, and killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

His continued toughness was merely a facade; by using his status as the second disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect, he was preventing the other side from making any rash moves.

Otherwise, based solely on the fact that he practiced heretical cultivation techniques, he could be killed instantly.

Besides the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, there are also many Rogue Cultivators in this area.

At this moment, Wang Xiao was filled with regret. He thought that there were only Rogue Cultivator here, and as long as he was quick and efficient, he could kill them to silence them and prevent the secret of his cultivation of evil techniques from being revealed.

But unexpectedly, there was also a princess from the Xia Kingdom here.

Wang Xiao forced himself to stay alert and said coldly:

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"Outer Dao and heretics should be punished by everyone! How could this be unrelated to me?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She kept pressing Wang Xiao about practicing heretical cultivation techniques, not for the sake of slaying demons or monsters, but to find out, by following Wang Xiao's lead, whether Xue Wushang had also practiced heretical cultivation techniques.

If this gets done, things will get really interesting.

As one of the Three Great Sects in the Southern Border, the fact that both of the sect's top and second disciples have been practicing heretical cultivation techniques means that if this becomes public, the Dragon Tiger Sect will likely never be able to swagger around again.

Faced with the current situation, Wang Xiao felt a sense of despair; he knew he couldn't escape unscathed.

The Xia Kingdom princess was clearly convinced that he had practiced heretical cultivation techniques, and that if he wanted to remain undetected, his only option was death!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao felt a deep bitterness in his heart.

If only I had known...

However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much; he had to make a decision immediately, or things would change.

"Fellow disciples, hurry and tell your senior brother that the Xia Kingdom's princess has broken through to the Divine Sea Realm. Tell him to be extremely careful!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect were all filled with surprise.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Minghuang also noticed the abnormality. She discovered that Wang Xiao's blood and qi were surging and his spiritual power was turbulent, and an extremely evil aura was growing.

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with ferocity, and wisps of blood-red smoke emanated from his body. He slammed out a palm, creating a huge gust of wind that blew away the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect.

He immediately looked at Xiao Minghuang and roared:

Do you want to know what kind of heretical cultivation technique I practice?

Xiao Minghuang frowned. She could sense that a tremendous change was taking place within Wang Xiao's body, as if something extremely evil was breaking free from its shell.

154. A single sword strikes down the demon; the missing Han Li.

In the blink of an eye, streams of purplish-black evil energy surged out from Wang Xiao's body.

His robes fluttered in the gale, his once fair and handsome face turned an eerie purplish-black, his eyes were deep and a strange red light flickered in their depths, and his mouth was open, revealing sharp fangs.

He looked like a demon.

"It seems I was right; you have indeed cultivated Demonic Cultivation Method."

Xiao Minghuang remained calm and undaunted.

"Princess of Xia Kingdom, am I now as you wish?"

Wang Xiao opened his bloody mouth and emitted a terrifying sound unlike any other human. The sound waves reverberated, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble.

Standing to the side, Li Chunyan was utterly shocked and exclaimed:

"This is... the Demonic True Body?!"

Upon hearing this, someone asked, puzzled:

"Alliance Leader Li, what do you mean by 'Demonic True Body'?"

Li Chunyan explained:

"The Demonic True Body is a secret technique of Outer Dao. It can greatly enhance one's strength after use, but it will also deplete one's potential and severely shorten one's lifespan. It is generally not used unless it is a life-or-death struggle."

During her past training, she once encountered an evil cultivator. Even though she was a whole realm higher than him, it still took her a lot of effort to kill him.

"Princess, be careful! After Wang Xiao unleashes his Demonic True Body, he is probably already comparable to the Divine Sea Realm!"

Li Chunyan couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

"No need to worry, watch me slay the demons and vanquish the monsters!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly.

On the other side, Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and said:

"Since you already know, then die!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and suddenly swung it out.

A gigantic, purplish-black palm print formed from his palm, pressing down on Xiao Minghuang with an aura of world-destroying power.

Xiao Minghuang stood still, letting the palm print press down on her, a disdainful smile appearing in her eyes.

Even if Wang Xiao unleashed his hidden Demonic True Body, didn't she have any defenses?

It's nothing but a demon's last-ditch effort; what does it amount to?

She could kill him with a single move.

Just as Wang Xiao's palm print was about to reach her, Xiao Minghuang raised her hand, and a pure white longsword condensed in her hand, surrounded by starlight, illuminating the night sky.

Then, she suddenly swung her sword.

A pure white streak, carrying a sharp Sword Qi, directly struck the purplish-black palm print.

The two collided, producing a violent explosion.

Boom!

Click!

A piercing cracking sound rang out, and the purplish-black palm print shattered into pieces in an instant.

Wang Xiao's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Xiao Minghuang in disbelief.
