Chapter 55 | Everyone in the Sect Is Insane, Only I'm Normal

“Fellow Daoist, why are you so utterly devoid of humanity?!”

The Golden Core Realm cultivator looked in terror at the black-robed youth before him. He could not see a single trace of emotion in those eyes.

Crack!

With a squeeze of Wang Xuanyi's hand, the Golden Core Realm cultivator's neck snapped. A wisp of his soul escaped his physical body and fled into the distance at extreme speed.

Unfortunately, it was seized by a large hand and instantly refined by fire.

“Run! Run quickly!”

Over a dozen heavily injured, dying Golden Core Realm cultivators could no longer muster any will to fight. Their hearts had long been consumed by terror, and they wished they had been born with extra legs.

That kid was too bizarre, too terrifying.

He clearly only had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he was not drawn in by the Dao Discussion Platform. Slaughtering Golden Core Realm cultivators was as easy as butchering chickens and dogs for him. He was simply a monster.

Right now, they could only pray that the Ancient Immortal Realm would close quickly. Otherwise, they would all die in this place sooner or later.

Elder Li stared blankly at Wang Xuanyi, then looked at the countless corpses of Golden Core Realm cultivators on the ground, subconsciously swallowing hard.

For this entry into the Ancient Immortal Realm, the task assigned by the sect was only to protect the disciples' lives, especially Long Zitian and Zhu Huai.

But he had never expected that there was an even more heaven-defying existence here.

Wang Xuanyi cast a cold glance at Elder Li. Without offering any explanation, he charged toward the fleeing Golden Core Realm cultivators.

In just a single breath, he caught up to one.

“No... No...”

Boom!

The peerless fist print directly shattered one of the Golden Core Realm cultivators, and then he refined the cultivator's soul in one fell swoop.

Hearing the screams coming from that direction, the other fleeing Golden Core Realm cultivators grew even more terrified. They wished they could grow extra legs to escape, while simultaneously praying that the death god would not come for them.

Whatever one feared most was sure to happen.

A dark shadow approached at extreme speed, followed by a blast of Dragon Breath. It instantly engulfed two Golden Core Realm cultivators who had banded together, refining their souls as well.

Crack!

At this moment, a rift appeared in the sky above the Dao Discussion Platform. The Ancient Immortal Realm was closing.

At the same time, hundreds of beams of light descended upon everyone. This was their deserved reward, and also the secret scriptures of the Great Dao gifted by the ancient immortal.

At this moment, not only did Wenren Jing smile, but the hundreds of ancient geniuses also showed joyful faces. The Golden Core Realm cultivators below smiled as well—was this not exactly what they had been striving for?

Only Lyu Wu had a distorted, ferocious expression on his face.

Yan Gong had not only ruined his plans but had also allowed Long Zitian and the others to escape. This was a massive loss.

“No, once I go out, I will definitely die. They can't be allowed to live either!”

Hardening his heart, Lyu Wu reached out to grab Wenren Jing, wanting to deal with her on the spot. Even if he died, he wanted to enjoy himself at least once before his death.

However, the moment he moved, a dark shadow arrived on the Dao Discussion Platform faster than anyone else. In an instant, the shadow tore off his arm, sending blood spraying everywhere.

“What?!”

Lyu Wu's pupils dilated as his pain was overtaken by terror. A pair of completely emotionless eyes stared down at him, like a ferocious beast lurking in the abyss.

His physical instincts trembled, telling Lyu Wu that he was going to die.

Immediately after, before the ancient geniuses could even cheer, dozens of battered and bruised Golden Core Realm cultivators rushed onto the Dao Discussion Platform and cried out, “Run! Run!!!”

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Wasn't it over? Why did these Golden Core Realm cultivators look as if they had encountered something terrifying?

Some Golden Core Realm cultivators didn't waste any words. They grabbed their still-dazed disciples and rushed toward the rift of the Ancient Immortal Realm, terrified of being targeted by that harbinger of death.

However, Wang Xuanyi ignored them. He simply wrapped the five with his essence energy and flew with them toward the rift. Any cultivators who stood in his way were directly burned to ashes by his flames.

In the outside world.

The powerhouses of various factions hovered near the exit, waiting for their respective disciples to emerge. At the same time, they also wanted to know who had been indiscriminately slaughtering Golden Core Realm cultivators inside.

Just as Wang Xuanyi exited the rift with the five, he saw the densely packed powerhouses of the various factions. Ignoring them completely, he flew straight toward Shen Shi and the others.

“Wang...”

Just as Shen Shi and the others were about to speak, Wang Xuanyi interrupted, “Sect Master, the five of them are not dead.”

Hearing this, Xiao Hongye and the others finally let out sighs of relief. As long as they weren't dead, everything was fine.

Mo Yan patted his shoulder and nodded in agreement, murmuring, “It's good that you're alive. It's good that you're alive.”

“Li—”

Su Qian was about to ask something when she noticed that the look in Wang Xuanyi's eyes was off. It was extremely cold, as if he were a completely different person.

“Hmph, Senior Brother Gongyi and the others were fighting with all their might on the Dao Discussion Platform, yet where did you run off to?!” At this moment, Leng Ning'an and Long Zitian also walked over.

When the two of them saw that Wenren Jing and the others had fainted from exhaustion, they immediately turned their gazes to Wang Xuanyi. Ever since they entered the Ten Thousand Immortal Mound, he had vanished, and they hadn't seen him on the Dao Discussion Platform either.

Now, he had brought them out at the very last moment like a hero, making himself a great contributor in the eyes of Shen Shi and the others.

This made Leng Ning'an extremely displeased.

Why was it that they had fought a bloody battle but received no reward, while a brat who ran away got all the attention?

Although Xiao Hongye had questions, she held her tongue. They did not believe Wang Xuanyi was the kind of person to be heartless and ungrateful.

Among all the people from the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect, only Su Qian sensed that something was wrong with Wang Xuanyi. Just as she was about to speak, Leng Ning'an's neck was already gripped in his hand.

“Leng Ning'an, don't force me to kill you right now!”

Wang Xuanyi applied a bit of pressure, his hand clamping like a steel vice around Leng Ning'an's fair neck.

“!”

He was extremely cold, extremely calm.

Shen Shi and the others were stunned. Was this still the usually laughing, improper Wang Xuanyi?

“Xuan...” Xiao Hongye also seemed to realize something was wrong. She wanted to comfort him, but she was met with Wang Xuanyi's indifferent and chilling gaze.

He knew doing this was wrong, but he did not want to listen to this woman's words.

“Sect Master, rest assured. Those people will pay the price!”

With those words, under the watchful eyes of Shen Shi and the others...

Wang Xuanyi snorted coldly, released his grip, and turned to fly back toward the rift of the Ancient Immortal Realm. A few geniuses had already emerged from there, and even some elders were waiting at the exit.

“Dragon Breath!”

A majestic torrent of flame erupted from Wang Xuanyi's mouth, instantly blanketing the entire sky and earth with scorching fire. The roar of a dragon echoed through the mountains and valleys, its power far surpassing that of Long Zitian.

Those who had just emerged were directly incinerated to ashes by the flames.

“How bold!”

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator made a move, immediately attempting to suppress Wang Xuanyi. The sky and earth changed color at this moment as a massive handprint, carrying the force of thunder, descended to suppress him.

“A mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!”

“Die!”

Wang Xuanyi opened his eyes, and a heaven-shaking aura surged. The Dao of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang circulated within his pupils, and a vast chaotic aura burst forth from his eyes.

For a moment, the entire space was covered by the Netherworld Immortal Eyes. Countless massive pupils emerged, like ferocious beasts from the abyss, staring intently at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Wang Xuanyi actually tore the void apart, ripping through the handprint. He unleashed a fist print toward the man, blasting him to death on the spot as flesh and blood splattered into the air.

“What?!”

Such thunderous methods left all the various factions utterly shocked.

A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator killing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in a single breath was something completely unseen and unheard of in the cultivation world.

Could this even be considered a gap in realms?

That person's soul still tried to flee, but Wang Xuanyi reached out and grabbed it, incinerating it instantly with a blast of his Self Fire.

At this point, the various factions finally understood the reason behind the deaths of the Golden Core Realm cultivators.

It turned out this kid was the one slaughtering them.

Not only was everyone else dumbfounded, but the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect was as well.

They had thought of Elder Li, and they had thought of some monster that had suddenly appeared inside the Ancient Immortal Realm, but they had never once thought of Wang Xuanyi, who had been missing for so long.
