Chapter 490: This Young Master Is Born Immune to Poison

A few days later, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the third layer's entrance in a leisurely fashion. As for the Han Clan sisters behind him, they did not look as leisurely at all. Their clothes were in complete mess, and some terrible-looking scars were visible on their bodies. Evidently, they had gone through many battles recently.

They were constantly glaring at Xiang Shaoyun's back furiously, yet they did not dare to voice their anger. During the past few days, the two had worked together to kill many Devil Kings, and there were times when they were nearly killed.

However, Xiang Shaoyun had turned a blind eye to all of it, letting them deal with the dangers themselves. If it wasn't for the cooperative battle technique they cultivated, they would have died by now.

"What an ungentlemanly bastard," cursed Han Qianwei softly.

"Don't say that, big sister. If it wasn't for him, we would have suffered humiliation in the hands of Xue Jianhe. In any case, he had still gotten that middle-aged man to save us the few times we encountered some really powerful devilish beasts," persuaded Han Xuewei.

Han Qianwei rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you siding with him all the time? Have you fallen for him?"

"Of course not!" Han Xuewei quickly denied with a blush on her face.

"That better be the case. This fellow is not a good match for you," said Han Qianwei. A disheartened look appeared on Han Xuewei's face upon hearing that.

"Roar! Roar!"

Numerous roars suddenly rang out in the air. A dreadful wave of devilish energy surged around them as a group of powerful devilish beasts appeared and surrounded them.

"Evil humans, don't even dream of entering the third layer," roared one of the devils before it transformed into a clump of black mist and crashed down upon Xiang Shaoyun's group.

"Watch out, master. They are the mist devils, responsible for guarding this entrance. They are capable of blending into the devilish energy in the air and are extremely hard to detect. Any carelessness will result in death," Meng Gansu explained.

"Watch after them. Let me see what these mist devils are capable of," said Xiang Shaoyun, his battle intent surging.

He hadn't fought for the past few days, but he wasn't idling around doing nothing either. He had been meditating on his previous battle experiences, trying to increase his combat prowess as much as possible. By now, the devil flame seed in his astral cosmos sea had nearly been fully refined by Yun Flame.

The mist devils shrouded the area with thick black mist, greatly reducing visibility. This was an extremely unfavorable environment for any cultivator. However, that was not the case for Xiang Shaoyun. With his Nether Soul Domain, he could sense his surroundings clearly.

The mist devils had the body of a bat, the head of a ghost face, four limbs, and a pair of black wings. Hiding amid the mist, they pounced on the humans. These mist devils had actually reached the Devil Emperor realm.

At that realization, Xiang Shaoyun no longer dared to be careless and started attacking with his Hurricane Kick with all his strength. Numerous clumps of hurricane were sent out, pulling the mist devils in before shredding them with the power of wind.

Unfortunately, the hurricanes failed to deal much damage to the mist devils. One of them was able to arrive safely above Xiang Shaoyun. It opened its mouth wide and tried biting his head.

"Just in time!" Xiang Shaoyun's eyes lit up brightly as the Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand. He then swung the saber at the mist devil's wide-opened mouth. The saber streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning. With a flash, the mist devil was cut into two.

"So long as you can detect them, they are not scary at all," mused Xiang Shaoyun.

He then used his footwork technique and charged the mist devils with his Overlord Skyslaying Saber in hand.

Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!

The moment he attacked, he used his full power. Numerous silver lightning bolts were summoned. They rained down on his body and combined with his own lightning energy before being sent out of the saber, forming numerous saber energies flying in all directions.

Rumble! Rumble!

Four mist devils were struck, their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. A second-stage Devil Emperor was also struck, but it was able to withstand the attack and pressed on toward Xiang Shaoyun before clawing at his face. Greatly alarmed, Xiang Shaoyun quickly stepped back. Even so, several scars were still left on his chest, causing him to clench his teeth in pain.

"Die, human!" the mist devil roared and spat a clump of poisonous mist at Xiang Shaoyun.

The poison was extremely powerful, seemingly capable of corroding everything. Even the four layers of golden walls around Xiang Shaoyun instantly melted when the mist touched them.

"What?" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm as he hastily moved away.

He could see how powerful the poisonous mist was. Otherwise, his defensive barriers wouldn't have been destroyed so easily. He accidentally inhaled only a tiny bit of the mist, yet his head immediately felt dizzy while his vision blurred, further displaying how powerful this poison was.

"Innate purple lightning, refine!" Before he fully lost his consciousness, Xiang Shaoyun, circulated his innate purple lightning through his body several times, forcefully refining the poison into nothingness.

"Die!" The second-stage Devil Emperor pressed on and clawed at Xiang Shaoyun again. Xiang Shaoyun dodged the attack, and at the same time, his body assumed an odd stance as he counterattacked.

Vicious Prison Finger!

The finger attack was powered by a thick vicious gold energy, and it instantly pierced through the mist devil's body, causing it to wail in pain. The pain drove the mist devil mad, and the mist devil started releasing even more poisonous mist from its body, shrouding Xiang Shaoyun with a thick clump of mist.

On top of that, several other mist devils also spat out a large amount of poisonous mist, greatly increasing the density of mist around Xiang Shaoyun. The poison contained in this clump of mist was probably enough to instantly kill a fourth-stage Emperor.

"Trying to poison me to death? Dream on! This young master is born immune to poison!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as a purple energy swirled around him, as if a purple dragon was soaring out of his body. Instantly, numerous silver lightning bolts were summoned from the sky and rained down on him.

At the same time, a massive amount of wind energy surged out of his body and started spinning around him, creating a terrifying storm of wind and lightning. The storm contained the power of devil baleful wind and silver lightning, instantly destroying the clump of mist. The lightning bolts also struck the mist devils, causing them to wail in pain without stop.

Standing at the center of the storm, Xiang Shaoyun activated the human saber unity mode and swung his saber repeatedly, sending numerous dreadful saber energies in all directions. Two mist devils were instantly killed, and three were heavily injured.

One could say that Xiang Shaoyun was slaughtering the Devil Emperors left and right with his formidable combat prowess. Even so, what he did was not enough to kill all of them. The remaining ones were still fighting on, attacking him from numerous directions. Not even the storm of wind and lightning around him could stop their advance.
