Chapter 266: Spirit Crystal Mine Indeed!

Xiang Shaoyun was already in a somewhat agitated mood . With the brutal energy in the air, his negative emotions were further intensified . Despite his agitation, his Nether Soul Domain still functioned well as he was able to detect Xiong Huo's ambush the moment it came .

He rolled to the side, barely avoiding the bone club that landed on the ground right beside him . Brutal energy rippled out of the point of impact and brushed past Xiang Shaoyun . Just that was enough to cause him great pain . Xiong Huo was a ninth-stage Transformation Realm expert . His combat prowess was comparable to a War King, and he was thus someone capable of posing a threat to Xiang Shaoyun .

After missing the first attack, Xiong Huo continued attacking . Each attack carried with it the power to destroy mountains while the brutal energy leaking out completely surrounded Xiang Shaoyun . After blocking only a few of the attacks, Xiang Shaoyun felt his arms go numb as the impact forced him into retreat .

Despite being forced into retreat, Xiang Shaoyun became even more excited facing the cannibal's attack . The attacks were like an unending storm . He activated his innate purple lightning within him, and his presence of dragon and tiger surged out as he started swinging his Purple Lightning Saber around madly .

Berserk Lightning Blade!

The Purple Lightning Saber clashed with the bone club again and again, creating numerous shockwaves that spread all around them . Now that Xiang Shaoyun had finally decided to fight seriously, Xiong Huo was no longer able to gain any advantage over him .

Xiang Shaoyun was a person who had cleared three King Realm limit rooms . His explosiveness was no weaker than Xiong Huo's . If it wasn't for the stronger energy barrier and the physical strength Xiong Huo had, Xiong Huo would have been defeated by Xiang Shaoyun long ago .

But in this situation where he was forced into a constant retreat, he wouldn't be able to last long under Xiang Shaoyun's bombardment . Finally, traces of fear appeared on Xiong Huo's face . He wanted to flee, but Xiang Shaoyun's attacks were unending . Like a destructive lightning storm, his saber slammed against Xiong Huo without stop .

After blocking a few more attacks, Xiong Huo's bone club finally snapped . He even lost one of his arms, blood gushing from it like a fountain as his miserable wail reverberated in the air . Tightly gripping his arm, Xiong Huo quickly ran, but his speed was completely incomparable to Xiang Shaoyun's .

Afterimages of the Purple Lightning Saber filled his surroundings, slicing even the air apart . Xiong Huo's defense was sliced open like a piece of paper, and the lightning energy set his body on fire and torched him black . And the most fatal of all was that his chest had been split open by the Purple Lightning Saber . He could no longer stop his bleeding .

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun gave him a last blow to the neck, severing his head from his body . Just like that, this Xiong Huo, who was comparable to a War King, fell under Xiang Shaoyun's saber .

After dealing with the cannibals, Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to head toward the mountain . Rather, he sat nearby in meditation . It wasn't because he had exhausted a lot of energy, but he needed to calm his agitated mind and force the brutal energy out of his body . Otherwise, his mental state or even his mind would be affected, which would be unfavorable for his future cultivation .

Xiang Shaoyun circulated his cultivation method, trying to force the invasive brutal energy out of his body . However, he found that it was not easy to do . At the same time, he noticed that the brutal energy was even heading toward the depths of his soul . No matter what he did, he couldn't stop it .

Just as he began to get anxious, a strong absorption force erupted from the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, and it devoured the brutal energy clean . After the brutal energy was completely cleared, he felt much better, and his mood calmed down considerably . He was quite astonished by what the headband did as he had not expected that it would have such a function as well .

"Looks like I don't have to be afraid of these cannibals' tricks anymore," said Xiang Shaoyun in relief . He then started heading toward the mountain .

It was a rather low mountain, and when he approached, he was able to clearly see the mountain's surroundings . He also found that there was a cave at the foot of the mountain . Someone had probably dug it, and the cave was also where the cannibals were standing guard earlier .

Using his Nether Soul Domain, Xiang Shaoyun confirmed that the cave was empty before entering . Upon entering, he saw a pile of spirit crystals to one side . Joy covered his face as he cried out, "This is indeed a spirit crystal mine!"

When he picked up a random piece of spirit crystal and found that it was a mid-grade spirit crystal, his joy grew . Without any hesitation, he kept the pile of spirit crystals away . He then dug at a random spot on the wall and found more spirit crystals .

"This spirit crystal mine is probably quite big . I will need a lot of work if I want to dig them all out," muttered Xiang Shaoyun who started hesitating .

It was at this moment that he sensed a different group of cannibals rushing over . Without thinking twice, he left the cave . He had no intention of getting himself trapped inside, but just as he was about to leave, a sturdy figure appeared before him .

"*&#!**@#&&$^@ . . . " It was a cannibal king . The moment he had appeared, he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and started talking in cannibal language .

Xiang Shaoyun was completely confused . But he could see that this cannibal was fuming and was on the verge of attacking . He couldn't be bothered to waste any time here, so he left with his Overlord's Nine Nether Steps .

"Human, after killing my underlings, you won't be able to escape," roared the cannibal .

The cannibal king chased after Xiang Shaoyun . It moved at an extremely fast speed, obviously very unhappy with Xiang Shaoyun . Since Xiang Shaoyun was only running on the ground, his speed was incomparable to the cannibal king flying through the air .

Bone club energy descended from the sky and slammed down at the space in front of Xiang Shaoyun . If he hadn't been able to quickly jump to the side, that slam would have turned him into mincemeat . When the cannibal king saw that his fist attack had missed, he swung his club a few more times .

Xiang Shaoyun kept rolling around and was able to barely avoid the attacks . However, the shockwaves from the attacks still caused his entire body to feel pain . He was now certain that this cannibal was definitely a peak first-stage King Realm cannibal . The combat prowess this cannibal showed was comparable to a second-stage King Realm human .

"Damn it . You think I'm afraid of you? Come, come! Let's fight for a few hundred rounds, then!" shouted Xiang Shaoyun as he drew his Purple Lightning Saber and pointed it at the cannibal king .

The cannibal king then landed and swung his terrifying bone club at Xiang Shaoyun, unleashing a terrifying thick yellow energy and brutal energy toward him . This was a strength Transformation Realm cannibals couldn't compare with .

Xiang Shaoyun immediately sensed a heavy pressure pressing down on him . At the same time, his mental state became tumultuous again . At the moment of crisis, the Nether Dragon Soul Headband reacted again and devoured the brutal energy, reducing the pressure he was in . He then raised his Purple Lightning Saber above his head and blocked the incoming bone club .

Clank!

Taking the attack head-on caused Xiang Shaoyun's arms to go numb . The Purple Lightning Saber nearly flew out of his hands, and half his body was hammered into the ground . It was obvious how terrifyingly powerful this cannibal king was .
