I Have an Omen System

Chapter 385: Chapter 245: The Secret of the Sword Talisman

Several Demon Monarchs stood in the sky, looking down with icy expressions.

Ji Boyan, holding a Golden Lamp, announced in a loud voice, "The Profound Cliff Du Family has committed a heinous crime! For kidnapping the Demon Son of my Holy Sect, their sin is unforgivable!"

"Demon Son?"

Below, Du Haixian, who was organizing the resistance, froze upon hearing this. He whipped his head toward the small courtyard where Qin Xuan was, all the color draining from his face.

"He... He really is..."

Before he could think further, Ji Boyan tilted the Golden Lamp in his hand.

BOOM!

It was like a divine punishment.

The Deep Gold lamp oil within the lamp transformed into a monstrous inferno that poured down.

In an instant, the entire Profound Cliff Du Family estate was plunged into a sea of fire.

Countless disciples were reduced to ash in the flames.

"No—"

Du Haixian’s eyes looked ready to split as he watched the thousand-year-old family legacy burn in the sea of fire, and he roared in grief and fury.

"You followers of the Demon Dao! You invade my Du Family’s territory and slaughter my clansmen! Do you not fear the wrath of His Majesty Daqian, that he will bring down his thunderous judgment upon you?"

Wei Jieyue, standing atop her massive Cyan Snake Dharma Aspect, gave a faint smile.

Fan Luming didn’t even bother to lift an eyelid.

With a wave of his sleeve, a sky full of Bronze Coins rained down like Life-taking Paper Money. Agonized screams rose and fell one after another as the coins reaped one soul after the next.

Each one carried away a living soul.

"Father, watch out—"

Du Leishi, at Purple Mansion Peak, let out a great roar. He shot into the sky with his spear, its tip gleaming like a dragon.

"Heh. An ant trying to shake a tree. How ridiculously overconfident."

A mocking glint flashed in Wei Jieyue’s narrow, phoenix-like eyes as the phantom of a small, jade-green snake appeared on her fingertip.

PFFT!

Du Leishi’s charging figure froze mid-air. A spot of jade-green spread out from between his eyebrows.

Immediately, the flesh and blood all over his body began to dissolve like ice and snow. He, along with his armor, melted into a pool of viscous gore that splattered down from the sky.

"Lei Shi!"

Du Haixian let out a heart-wrenching, mournful cry.

Meanwhile, Ji Boyan casually flew over, holding another young man’s corpse, and tossed it down.

The corpse’s face was tinged blue, clearly poisoned. Its neck had also been snapped, and its eyes were wide open in death.

"Marquis Du, how does it feel to have your bloodline wither away?" Ji Boyan chuckled.

Qin Xuan took a closer look and recognized the corpse. It was Du Leibao, whom he had dealt with back in the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea.

"No... How did you find Leibao... No!"

Seeing his only two remaining sons die horribly before his very eyes one after the other, Du Haixian’s spirit completely shattered. He looked like a madman.

Wei Jieyue said, "Patriarch Du, don’t bother with this futile resistance. My Holy Sect has dispatched three Demon Monarchs. Did you really think we would let you hold out until the Daqian Court comes to your rescue?"

"Demons! A wretched death awaits you all! My Du Family will..." Du Haixian roared hysterically.

But before he could finish, Fan Luming slapped him across the face, shattering his teeth.

The corner of his mouth became a mess of mangled flesh and blood.

"Noisy."

At the same time, Qin Xuan discovered something.

As the Du Family Cultivators died in droves, the Golden-Breaking Blood Talisman inside his body, which had been ceaselessly restless, actually began to calm down.

With every person who died, the Blood Talisman’s backlash weakened slightly.

In its place, the Demonic Essence originating from his Dantian grew purer and even showed faint signs of increasing.

’The karma of the Giant Spirit Blood Demon is about to be fulfilled!’

Qin Xuan was both shocked and delighted.

This development was beyond his expectations.

If this continued, he might be able to use this opportunity to completely break free from the shackles of the Gathering Spirit karma.

However, to Qin Xuan’s disappointment, even though the Du Family Cultivators had suffered heavy casualties, with even Du Leishi and Du Leibao falling one after another...

...the three Demon Monarchs never dealt the final, killing blow to Du Haixian.

Fan Luming’s Bronze Coins spun around him, absorbing his dissipating Soul Power and grief, but without touching his core being.

Wei Jieyue’s jade-green Evil Qi corroded his Flesh Body, causing him immense pain, but it wasn’t fatal.

Ji Boyan’s Nether Gold Flame burned his Divine Soul, making him howl endlessly, but his consciousness was intentionally preserved.

"Why don’t the Demon Sect’s Monarchs just kill Du Haixian directly?"

Ye Qingxuan also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Outside, Fan Luming seemed to have read her mind. His grand Demonic Sound, laced with a hint of mockery, clearly entered her ears.

"Little one, don’t be hasty. This old dog is the main course. He must be prepared slowly. Only by thoroughly completing the Refinement of his Divine Soul and Essence Blood can we make full use of him..."

Hearing this, Du Haixian’s face turned deathly pale, but he was unable to break free.

A chill went down Qin Xuan’s spine as he immediately understood.

Something’s wrong, there’s another trap!

’These Demon Monarchs of the Holy Sect... each one is more ruthless than the last!’

Qin Xuan’s scalp tingled. Although he couldn’t figure out what Fan Luming and the others were planning...

...he was happy to see things play out this way.

As more and more Du Family Cultivators died, the Demonic Essence in Qin Xuan’s body flowed with increasing smoothness. He even felt he was on the verge of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Ninth Level.

But who would have known that at this very moment, the Spiritual Power around Du Haixian would begin to boil violently? A blinding light erupted from his Dantian.

’Not good... He’s going to draw on the Blessed Land and self-destruct his Golden Core!’

Qin Xuan’s pupils shrank.

A Golden Core Peak True Monarch detonating his Pill at all costs would be enough to wipe half of the Du Family estate off the map.

The few Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs might not care.

But Purple Mansion Cultivators like himself who were present would likely all be buried along with Du Haixian.

’You son of a bitch, Du Haixian! If you’re going to die, don’t drag me down with you!’

Just at that critical moment, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out.

"Du Haixian, you dare defy a royal decree?"

The Second Elder, Du Hongming, who had been silent and seemingly loyal this whole time, suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

In his hand, a brilliant golden Scroll embroidered with a dragon pattern had appeared from out of nowhere.

Qin Xuan was dumbfounded.

The Du Family’s Grand Elder was a spy for the Holy Sect, and now the Second Elder turns out to be a deep-cover agent planted by the Court for who knows how many years?

The Du Family has been infiltrated so thoroughly it’s like a sieve!

The boiling Spiritual Power around Du Haixian suddenly stagnated. He stared at Du Hongming in disbelief, his eyes shot with blood.

"You... you’re not Du Hongming. You’re the one Xiao An planted by my side..."

Du Haixian didn’t get to finish his sentence.
