Chapter 362: Crimson Haired Old Immortal!
Chapter 362: Crimson Haired Old Immortal!
In the midst of the fray, the Sword Cultivators who remained knew well the splendor of the legendary strike.
With a swing of the sword, blood blossomed into a sea of flowers!
“Exile Yun!!” Facing the brutal onslaught of the four delegates from the Immortal Asylum, Yun Xiao stood firm against the lethal dangers, wounding the Dream Demon and neutralizing Kun Jiang…
This undoubtedly bolstered the spirits of the powerhouses from the Nine Hells! Initially, they feared the monstrous Nian, but now they held onto a semblance of belief.
“Kun Jiang might have fallen, but it’s not the end!” No sooner had the Sword Warden solemnly declared this than Yun Xiao was once again engulfed in a fierce battle!
Witnessing Kun Jiang’s demise, the remaining three delegates from the Immortal Asylum were thrown into a frenzy! Silent they remained, yet their eyes blazed red like wild beasts. Having lost all sense of self, they then let out deep, animalistic roars.
“Beast, have you completely dominated them?” Yun Xiao suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing the amalgam of one demon and two humans before him. He was speaking to the Nian!
Before the echo of his words faded, the Dream Demon, Mo Jianzhi, and Shen Xiaochan charged once more. They knew only brutality, devoid of humanity.
Gritting his teeth, Yun Xiao transformed into a white blur, plunging forward to clash with them once again!
Kun Jiang had been their vanguard, their shield! Without him, only Mo Jianzhi stood at the forefront, meeting Yun Xiao in a head-on collision!
KLANG!
After a rapid exchange of four blows, Mo Jianzhi, despite his superior sacred power, lacked Yun Xiao’s visceral combat strength and was pressed to the ground by a single stroke!
BOOM!
Had it not been for Shen Xiaochan and the Dream Demon, Yun Xiao would have slain him!
“On your last legs, and still you hinder me?” Yun Xiao spun around abruptly, his left hand casting Blazing Dragon Blood Boil with the Prison Warden Sigil upon Shen Xiaochan, while his right hand transformed the Heaven Burial Sword Soul into a Flying Sword!
WHOOSH!
The Flying Sword pierced through the air in an instant, striking the Dream Demon’s left eye and penetrating its brain!
“GYAAAAAH!” The Dream Demon, clutching its eye, screamed in agony!
This time, it didn’t disperse into black mist but suffered a grievous fate.
“That’s your weak point!” Yun Xiao, with a face as unreadable as a poker, reversed the flight of his Flying Sword, piercing the Dream Demon’s other eye with the speed of lightning.
“You’re doomed anyway…” Even with swords impaling its eyes, the Dream Demon laughed viciously, its body burning up rapidly, dying a gruesome death on the spot.
BUZZ!
In the next instant, Shen Xiaochan’s Dark Devil Sigil wrapped around Yun Xiao, releasing countless evil spirits from its runic inscriptions, gnawing at his flesh and blood.
This was exactly how Fu Liuli met her end!
Mo Jianzhi, with eyes bleeding, suddenly erupted in fury, his sword heavy, slashing down towards Yun Xiao’s head with the weight of a thousand pounds!
“Don’t you see? You’ve lost,” Yun Xiao turned, his voice cold as ice. It must be said, this quartet’s ferocity was lethal, the likes of which he had scarcely encountered before. But this was also him at his most formidable!
BUZZ!
The nine-headed Prison Warden Dragon roared from his body, tearing into the Dark Devil Sigil. The nine dragon heads shredded it to pieces on the spot!
The scene resembled a vampire sinking its teeth into a mortal’s neck, greedily drawing blood!
The Dark Devil Sigil trembled and wailed, while Shen Xiaochan’s face turned ashen, spewing black blood, her visage cracking apart.
BOOM!
Mo Jianzhi’s towering strike, though imposing, merely caused Yun Xiao’s garments to flutter wildly.
Yun Xiao’s icy gaze locked onto the descending blade! As the Prison Warden Sigil tore through the Dark Devil Sigil, he grasped the Heaven Burial Sword Soul and thrust it upwards with a mighty heave!
In his fused state, Yun Xiao’s sword was at its most potent! For it harnessed the Divine Desolation Physique’s raw power, bestowed by Moon Fairy.
WHOOM!
His strike tore through space, the howl of death echoing as if the Divine Pillar of the Divine Continent were reborn!

Mo Jianzhi screamed in agony, sent flying backward several hundred meters, crashing into a wall with his skull cracking open!
Yun Xiao’s strike was a visual spectacle of raw power, an explosive feast for the eyes!
Shen Xiaochan’s eyes, as red as a setting sun, suddenly glazed over, staring blankly at Yun Xiao before her.
“You were a goner from the start, no need to cling to the living world.” Yun Xiao, with his Sovereign Sword, launched into Myriad Swords Traversing the Ocean, striking her squarely in the face!
SPUTTER!
As the sword’s tip swept past, Shen Xiaochan was left headless, her body stumbling and crashing to the ground.
Only Mo Jianzhi remained!
BOOM!
Yun Xiao landed, grabbed Mo Jianzhi by the collar, and hoisted him up.
The fellow’s Sword Soul shattered, spirit broken, barely hanging by a thread, his eyes filled with blood, death knocking at his door. Yet, he was laughing!
“You reincarnated runt, you’re somewhat amusing, what a pity,” Mo Jianzhi’s voice sounded strange. Clearly, these weren’t his words but those of the Nian.
“Pity your granddad.” Yun Xiao slapped him across the face, Mo Jianzhi’s cheek swelling red but his grin growing more ferocious.
“Killing a few nobodies got you all puffed up, huh? Seems like in your past life, you were just a minor Immortal foot soldier,” Mo Jianzhi scoffed wildly. After his laugh, he gave Yun Xiao a mocking glance. “I’ll take care of you myself now.”
Just as these words fell, Yun Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. He spun around abruptly! His gaze swept past the battlefield where the powerhouses of the Nine Hells clashed with the thousands of Old Immortals, landing on a deep, mist-shrouded corridor.
Through the dense fog, the sound of a giant beast’s movements and breaths echoed!
Each of its steps caused the ground of the Immortal Asylum to quake, each breath roaring like thunderstorms…
Yun Xiao’s brow furrowed! He had expected a 100-meter-tall beast to emerge, but to his surprise… it was an Old Immortal with crimson eyes and hair!
Indeed, it was this red-haired Old Immortal whose breaths thundered and steps quaked the earth!
BOOM!
Countless fissures spread from his feet, reaching right up to Yun Xiao.
A terrifying and deadly aura swept across the field, sending shivers down everyone’s spines!
Already, the 10,000 cultivators from the Nine Hells struggled against the onslaught of the Old Immortals, and now an unknown formidable foe had joined…
“Run! This body houses the strongest part of its escaping form,” Blue Star suddenly warned with grave seriousness.
“I can’t beat it?” Yun Xiao asked.
“I’ll beat
you
, if you don’t run your ass away right now!” Blue Star retorted, exasperated.
Yun Xiao was a man grounded in reality. If Blue Star said it couldn’t be done, then the challenge was indeed beyond reach.
“The real issue is, with everyone still trapped in the Immortal Asylum, I can’t just run away on my own…”
That was the crux of the matter.
BOOM!
The red-haired Old Immortal locked onto Yun Xiao, crossing the heavens in a flash, hurtling towards him as a scarlet comet.
“Mo Jianzhi!” Yun Xiao’s heart raced, the Soulfire Eye at his brow split open, unleashing the soul dominating blast directly at the recently defeated Mo Jianzhi.
Once, this move had allowed him to dominate the venerable Overseer Sikong, and now it was employed against a Sword Cultivator whose spirit was being controlled and who was on death’s doorstep!
Beneath the onslaught of the soul, Mo Jianzhi’s crimson eyes quivered!
In that moment, like Shen Xiaochan before him, his eyes reflected a complex mix of fleeting life and regret.
“The Nian aims to slaughter all in the Nine Hells, to break free completely. You must open the gates and let everyone out!” Yun Xiao, gripping his face, urged with desperate intensity.
“The Nian…” Mo Jianzhi trembled all over.
“Open!” Yun Xiao, unsure of what mechanisms controlled the Immortal Asylum, could only rely on him; there was no time to lose.
“You…” Mo Jianzhi gave Yun Xiao a profound look, fumbling in his Bag of Holding to produce an ordinary-looking jade pillar.
This jade pillar, divided into eighteen segments, mirrored the eighteen floors of the Immortal Asylum!
With his last ounce of strength, Mo Jianzhi pressed a white spot on the first segment, causing it to glow and display the character “Open.”
“Protect… the common folk…” His eyes trembling, Mo Jianzhi looked at Yun Xiao, uttering his final words before his hand went limp.
BOOM!
At his death, the Immortal Asylum shook violently, and the Eight Trigrams gates finally swung open, letting in the light from outside.
“Everyone, out!” Yun Xiao stood up.
After shouting this command, he gritted his teeth, and instead of fleeing, he charged towards the red-haired Old Immortal!
“Have you lost your mind? I told you to run, not fight!” Blue Star was stunned.
…” Yun Xiao didn’t respond. After all, the path he chose to cultivate was never about playing it safe. It was about a will that pierced the heavens, teeth clenched, fighting to the bitter end…
