Chapter 704: Executes the Demon

With Meng Zhang's insight and judgment, Xu Mengying didn't need to explain everything explicitly; he could understand many things on his own. Xu Mengying's implications in her words were also clear to him. Even if Xu Mengying didn't come to him for help, he would not likely miss the opportunity to kill the Demonic Cultivator.

This decision wasn't just because of his position as a cultivator of the righteous path, but also because there were substantial and significant benefits to doing so. Moreover, as True Monarch Mountain Peak's influence grew, Xu Mengying's role as an opponent became even more crucial.

However, in order not to appear too eager, Meng Zhang still had to handle Xu Mengying delicately. After Xu Mengying explained the situation in detail and spoke many kind words, Meng Zhang reluctantly agreed to help kill the demonized Xu Huanshan.

Killing a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, even if they gave up active resistance, would still instinctively fight back. The difference between the Primordial Spirit stage and the Gold Core stage was vast, and Primordial Spirit True Monarchs held a crushing advantage over Gold Core Daoist Masters. Even the geniuses of the Holy Land Sect couldn't overcome this realm difference and challenge a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Ironically, Xu Huanshan, as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, had even provided many ideas to help Gold Core Daoist Masters kill him. Xu Mengying sought Meng Zhang's help based on Xu Huanshan's advice.

After much discussion, the two of them finally devised a rough battle plan. Time was of the essence since every delay brought Xu Huanshan closer to complete demonization.

Meng Zhang instructed the Taiyi Sect cultivators in Maple Leaf Mountain City and then set out with Xu Mengying. They flew westward, making only occasional rests and no other stops.

Meng Zhang had initially thought Xu Huanshan would be hiding within the territory occupied by demons, but the direction they were flying in indicated otherwise. The demon territory was vast, but it remained under the watchful eyes of various powerful Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. Even with Xu Huanshan's abilities, he couldn't evade the detection of so many cultivators.

The two didn't fly in a straight line but made several adjustments and detours along the way. It took them more than half a month to reach their destination - a branch of the Grand Crossing Mountain Range. It was situated in the northwest direction of the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle and was separated from the Black Jade Forest by a thin line.@@novelbin@@

The forested region surrounding this mountain range was already considered part of the Black Jade Forest's border. While the Black Jade Forest was troublesome to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, it wasn't a formidable enemy. The various cultivation forces within the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle could easily crush the Black Jade Forest if they put their minds to it.

The area where Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying arrived was relatively desolate and close to the Black Jade Forest, making it rare for cultivators from the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle to venture here.

They landed on a tall mountain, and Xu Mengying led Meng Zhang into a seemingly small cave that held a vast and hidden world inside. The cave was extensively carved out, connecting many large stone halls through tunnels.

After a few twists and turns, they arrived before a seemingly bottomless abyss. There, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus, who was taken away by Xu Mengying previously, was sitting alone, looking vacant and emotionless like a puppet.

Meng Zhang immediately noticed that Daoist Master Smiling Lotus was in a dire state. He glanced at Xu Mengying and couldn't help but feel skeptical about her true intentions.

On the other side, Xu Mengying also employed various attacking techniques. She took advantage of Meng Zhang's cover and used a Divine Ability secret technique to weaken Xu Huanshan's defenses.

Xu Huanshan, deeply influenced by the demonic power, couldn't resist the urge to attack. However, he struggled to maintain control and hindered his own actions. If he unleashed his full strength without restraint, both Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying would have faced imminent death.

In the ensuing battle, Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying deployed their Divine Abilities, exhausting all their tricks and attacking with all their might. Meng Zhang's Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword combined with his years of practice in the Strange and Upright Sword Art, creating a powerful and unique force.

Xu Huanshan didn't even put forth his true abilities. As a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he had the ability to harness the power of the Grand Dao and even specialized Dao Techniques. However, he hadn't used any of these abilities yet. His current attacks were merely regular means.

In the dark abyss, both Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying struggled fiercely. Their enemy was exceptionally formidable, and they had almost displayed all of their abilities but failed to defeat him.

Finally, Xu Huanshan mustered up his last remaining strength, barely suppressing the demonic intent within him and providing Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying with an opportunity to strike.

Meng Zhang had a Fourth Rank talisman in his possession, which he had kept safe for many years. He had never used it before, even in dire situations. Now, facing an opponent like Xu Huanshan, he had exhausted all his methods and had no choice but to reveal his last trump card.

Before Meng Zhang activated the Fourth Rank talisman, Xu Mengying had already weakened Xu Huanshan's defense with a fake Fourth Rank talisman. Meng Zhang poured all his strength into the talisman, making use of the three Yin Yang Dao Soldiers' power to help activate it.

With almost half of his life force spent, Meng Zhang finally activated the Fourth Rank talisman. A giant fist appeared in the sky and mercilessly struck Xu Huanshan, shattering his protective spells like eggshells. Xu Huanshan's entire body was crushed.

Though his physical body was destroyed, as long as his Primordial Spirit remained intact, Xu Huanshan could not be considered completely killed. However, before he could react further, he was killed by the Spiritsnake Spear thrown by Meng Zhang.

In a last attempt before his physical body exploded, Xu Huanshan pointed at Meng Zhang. His physical body expanded with no resistance before violently exploding, leaving him with no time to escape the fate of his own attack.

Xu Mengying assisted the Spiritsnake Spear in destroying Xu Huanshan's Primordial Spirit. As his Primordial Spirit dissipated, a look of relief appeared on his face. He seemed to want to say something in gratitude, but his Primordial Spirit was rapidly dissipating.
