Chapter 244: Chapter 242: Eyes Popping Out

Xu Yang followed the sound, only to see an old man, drenched in blood and in utter disarray, glaring furiously and menacingly at him from the patch of grass on one side of the hillside.

A cultivation of Early Stage of Myriad Phenomena!

Yet at this moment, he was incredibly weak, a lamp running out of oil!

The wounds on his body were shocking to behold, making one unable to look straight at him!

His grizzled beard was stained with blood, making him seem even more terrifying.

“Let go of my granddaughter!”

The old man’s eyes bulged with rage, as if fire would burst out at any moment.

“Grandpa.”

Li Xin’Er called out in delight.

Xu Yang hurriedly set Li Xin’Er down and said, “Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Li Xin’Er had already thrown herself into the old man’s arms.

The old man was slightly stunned, and the ferocious anger on his face faded swiftly.

But he didn’t embrace Li Xin’Er; instead, he frowned and said, “Little girl, what’s wrong with you? How did you bring a Yang Realm cultivator here?”

Hearing this, Xu Yang’s pupils contracted, his eyes full of bewilderment.

What is happening?

Brought here?

Could it be?

He suddenly looked at Li Xin’Er, only to see that the once pitiful little girl had already turned around, and where was any sign of worry or fear?

Her face was now filled only with endless coldness!

“You two…”

Xu Yang’s brows furrowed tightly.

“Old man, for this brat to walk in Purple Fire Celestial Prison alone, how could he be anything simple?”

“He might be a genius from some large clan here for training, and his belongings may be no less than an ordinary Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator’s!”

“He could even be a super fat sheep!”

Li Xin’Er licked her lips, greedily eyeing Xu Yang.

“Makes sense.”

The old man nodded approvingly. The aura around him swept away all prior weakness and fatigue. Though he appeared bloodstained, his spirit was vibrant, overwhelmingly powerful—at his peak!

At this moment, how could Xu Yang not realize he’d been tricked?

Such a little girl, this kind of acting—truly impossible to guard against!

Though those daring to come temper themselves in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison were hardly good people, most would feel compassion upon seeing such a seemingly weak and pitiful girl, and lend a helping hand!

Then, lured into an ambush…

What a good trick!

Only, he really hadn’t expected that this little girl was so utterly vicious!

“Wait a second!”

Xu Yang’s eyebrow shot up, and he immediately activated the Cangxu Divine Eyes!

Under those divine eyes, how was this little girl any ordinary person?

Her cultivation was actually at the Yang Realm Perfection!

Most likely, that petite body was also disguised using some special method.

“To think you could fool even my senses!”

Xu Yang’s expression turned to shock.

One must know, previously he hadn’t detected the slightest abnormality!

Such an astonishing Concealment Skill was truly unbelievable!

“Pupil Technique? You can actually see through my disguise?” Li Xin’Er was also greatly surprised, the greed in her eyes intensifying. “Such a Pupil Technique is truly extraordinary!”

“Boy, if you hand over everything obediently, this old man will let you keep a whole corpse!”

The old man fixed a cold stare on Xu Yang, appearing to have everything in his grasp.

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed coldly—these two, old and young, were truly wicked!

To exploit others’ compassion for such ruthless schemes—utterly despicable!

“Just the two of you?”

Xu Yang sneered, staring with interest at the little girl. “I’m actually quite curious about your Concealment Skill. Hand it over nicely, and I’ll let you two die painlessly!”

“What did you say?”

The two were stunned, as if they had misheard him.

Li Xin’Er suddenly mocked, “What a ridiculous joke. Even if you’re a privileged genius, with just Middle Stage of Yang Realm cultivation, how strong could you possibly be? Even if you were at Peak of Yang Realm, in front of us you’d be nothing but an ant!”

“Idiot. Toast wasn’t enough, now you’ll drink punishment. I hope you have enough good things on you! Otherwise, this old man will make you suffer!”

The old man grinned savagely and vanished from his spot!

Boom!

He struck toward Xu Yang with his palm.

Xu Yang’s lips curled in a cold, grim sneer. “An old bastard like you, with no bottom line, using others’ compassion to commit evil, death is too light for you!”

Boom!

The old man let out a miserable scream, blasted away as though struck by lightning.

Crashing to the ground, he spewed a mouthful of blood, eyes wide open, vitality fading away!

One strike!

Li Xin’Er’s eyes went wide as saucers, as if seeing a ghost. “You, you, you…”

She turned and ran.

Her petite childlike body gave off a series of cracking sounds, instantly growing, turning into an ordinary woman in her thirties.

Li Xin’Er’s face filled with terror, her mind buzzing.

“Just what is he?”

“His cultivation is clearly Middle Stage of Yang Realm, no faking that, yet he killed the old devil in a single move!”

“Damn it!”

Swish!

Xu Yang appeared before Li Xin’Er in a flash, looking at her playfully. “Where do you think you’re going?”

Li Xin’Er’s body stiffened, her complexion deathly pale!

“To be honest, you’re the first person who’s ever fooled me.”

“Hand over your disguise technique.”

Xu Yang was very intrigued by Li Xin’Er’s methods of disguise.

To be able to evade even his Spiritual Power perception at the Myriad Phenomena Realm level—remarkable indeed!

If he could obtain it, it would be a useful trick for him, too!

Li Xin’Er suddenly dropped to her knees.

“Young master, I’ll give you the method, just please spare my life!”

“My life was wretched since childhood, and that old bastard controlled me—I had no choice…”

Slap!

Li Xin’Er screamed and fell.

Xu Yang slapped her across the face, appearing before her and saying coldly, “Did you think I’d be stupid enough to fall for your tricks twice?”

Li Xin’Er’s face turned hopeless. Dropping her pitiful act in terror, she shakily took out two ancient scrolls.

“Young master, these I obtained from some ruins. One is a method for concealing one’s aura, the other a Bone Shrinking Skill!”

“Oh?”

A voice full of surprise suddenly rang out from not far away.

Xu Yang instinctively glanced to the side.

Li Xin’Er’s eyes turned manic, and she twisted away to flee!

She knew she was no match for Xu Yang at all, and this sudden incident was her only chance at life!

Li Xin’Er ignited her True Essence, fleeing madly at top speed!

But just as she barely started running, her body froze.

A voluptuous, enchantingly beautiful woman appeared out of thin air, blocking her escape.

“Little girl, where are you going?”

The woman’s gaze was deep, her red lips curled upward.

Her aura of Early Stage of Myriad Manifestation Realm enveloped the area, making Li Xin’Er completely despair!

It’s over!

On the other side—

A middle-aged man strode out slowly.

Upon seeing Xu Yang, he was slightly taken aback. “You…”

“Not long ago, was that you at that volcano?”

The middle-aged man glared fiercely at Xu Yang.

“Volcano?”

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Seeing his reaction, how could the middle-aged man not know it was Xu Yang?

Instantly, his eyes filled with rage. Gritting his teeth, he spat, “You little bastard, I was in secluded cultivation there, but you had to wake the slumbering beast in the volcano, ruined my breakthrough, and even got me hurt!”

Xu Yang’s expression turned odd. Was this guy really hiding there to cultivate?

Thinking back to the commotion he caused when he left, Xu Yang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Turns out the guy really was a victim of random disaster!

“Sorry, it really wasn’t intentional!” Xu Yang smiled wryly.

“Unintentional? Hmph!”

Murderous intent gleamed in the man’s eyes.

“Big brother, big sister, help me! He killed my grandfather, now he wants to kill me…”

“Shut up!”

Li Xin’Er had just spoken when the middle-aged man cut her off with a harsh shout.

The man sneered, “You two wicked scum, think I don’t know what you’re up to? Using special disguises, luring out others’ compassion—for the past few months, how many people have you killed?”

Li Xin’Er was dumbstruck, her body trembling violently, utterly crushed and in despair!
