The Grand Elders and core disciples in the Law Enforcement Hall tactfully cleared the space.
“Xia Changqing, you’ve been knocked down two major cultivation realms. Now we are both at the Divine Transformation Realm. What makes you think you can defeat me? I’ll fight you to the death. Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!” Gu Miaojun’s fierce spiritual Qi surged wildly, breaking through the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation Realm and reaching the late Dao Palace Realm before halting. She rapidly formed hand seals with both hands, summoning countless swords of spiritual Qi, and fiercely bombarded Xia Changqing.
Her eyes were bloodshot and her face twisted with hatred and madness. To grasp even a sliver of hope, she used a forbidden Dao technique to self-destruct her immortal Dao foundation, burning all her potential for greater power, launching a tidal wave of attacks toward the handsome youth.
“You’re using the techniques I taught you to attack me. Is your brain rusted?” Xia Changqing sneered disdainfully.
Around him, one immortal and one demonic Dao Qi rose, intertwining like a white and black yin-yang immortal fish, forming a protective barrier — the innate divine ability of the Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones: the Immortal-Demonic Yin-Yang Shield.
Ding ding ding! In a flash of lightning and sparks, countless powerful swords of spiritual Qi struck the shield, erupting into dazzling sparks, but the shield remained completely unscathed.
“I refuse to believe you are this strong!” Gu Miaojun’s features twisted in rage and she shrieked.
“This farce is over. Let me show you what true Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect is.” Xia Changqing raised his right hand, fingers forming a sword gesture, and swung toward the sky. Thousands of blood-red demonic swords emerged, swirling with overwhelming demonic Qi, floating above the grand hall.
The handsome youth performed the orthodox Upper Clear Dao technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, but there was no righteous aura, only a sinister, overwhelming demonic presence. The grand and solemn Law Enforcement Hall, wrapped in auspicious clouds, under the crimson demonic swords, now looked like a bloody, sinister palace of a Demon Sovereign.
“Go!” Xia Changqing formed a seal with one hand, and thousands of blood-colored demonic swords transformed into a dense sword rain, piercing fiercely at Gu Miaojun.
Crack! Ding ding ding! Boom! The countless green swords were like paper, and Gu Miaojun herself was ruthlessly shattered by the demonic swords.
“Master, Senior Brother, please, spare me! Senior Brother, you promised to let me reincarnate—” Golden in color, Gu Miaojun’s primordial spirit screamed in agony, but was ultimately shattered and devoured by the demonic swords controlled by Xia Changqing.
[Ding! Detected fragmented Heavenly Dao fortune in the air. Devour and convert it into system energy?]
After Gu Miaojun’s soul was obliterated, the system captured the free-floating Heavenly Dao fortune. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Of course, devour it!” Xia Changqing responded.
“Supreme Leader, the culprit who persecuted the Holy Son has now been executed. We should return to our immortal mountain abodes to continue pursuing the Grand Dao and focus on cultivation,” Ye Zheng said with a cautious smile, showing even greater fear of Murong Bing.
“Changqing stays. The rest may leave,” Murong Bing ordered calmly.
“Yes, Supreme Leader!” Everyone respectfully retreated.
‘System, Gu Miaojun, the fated female lead, has been eliminated by me. How much Heavenly Dao fortune does Ye Fan have left?’ Xia Changqing asked.
[80%.]
The system scanned and answered.
‘Hehehe, looks like the game isn’t over yet,’ Xia Changqing grinned wickedly.
“Senior Brother, you publicly promised to let Miaojun reincarnate. Are you not afraid that going back on your word will tarnish your reputation as the Holy Son of Azure Cloud Holy Land?” Lin Xinyue stepped forward, her bright almond eyes staring coldly at Xia Changqing.
“Why should I be afraid? In the cultivation world, strength is respected, not reputation. Whoever dares to gossip, I’ll kill them. After they’re terrified, they’ll shut up naturally,” Xia Changqing said with a wicked smile.
“Your evil and shameless deeds are no different from the demonic path! I will never forgive you for ruining my chance to ascend,” Lin Xinyue said angrily, looking at the handsome youth who showed no remorse after killing her Junior Sister.
“Hahaha, immortality and demonhood are separated by a single thought. With Master here, I am a cultivator of the righteous path. I don’t need your judgment. Since you feel our karma runs deep and it’s a life-and-death grudge, why not enter the Haotian Mirror and settle it?” Xia Changqing mocked with disdain. Read the latest chapters at g.com.
“I’m not as foolish as Miaojun. I will review ancient texts and investigate carefully,” Lin Xinyue replied coldly. She bowed respectfully to Murong Bing and turned to leave.
“Xia Changqing, you were quite arrogant today! You dared to summon demonic swords in my hall and used the Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones to turn the Upper Clear Sword Canon into your Great Freedom Demonic Canon. Tell me, do you even acknowledge me as your Master?” Murong Bing shattered the Cloud-Bed she was seated on, causing nearby space to collapse, and pointed at Xia Changqing, scolding him furiously.
She didn’t want Xia Changqing to become obsessed with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and go astray, eventually becoming an enemy of the entire Mystic Sky Continent again.
‘Is this woman eating gunpowder or what? Or is she desperate for a man? Such a bad temper — does she not fear being counterattacked and humiliated by me again? Forget it. Right now, my strength is far weaker than Murong Bing’s. Let her be arrogant for now. When my cultivation is complete, I won’t listen to anyone,’ Xia Changqing thought angrily but maintained a respectful and composed appearance, saying, “Master, you are right. I, Changqing, admit my mistake.”
“I think you won’t learn your lesson until you see the coffin. Tell me what your mistake was!” Murong Bing, having secretly heard his thoughts, was furious and embarrassed, her ample chest heaving.
“Making Master angry is my greatest mistake,” Xia Changqing said respectfully, his deep and mysterious eyes calm as he gazed at the beautiful, angry woman. He couldn’t help but think of the Murong Bing far away in the Immortal Realm and showed a gentle smile.
‘This bastard really thinks I ascended to the Immortal Realm? Hmph, if he thinks he can leave me behind and live a carefree life, he can dream on!’ Murong Bing, flustered and shy under his deep gaze, felt her body heating up.
Buzz buzz buzz! Just as she wanted to tell Xia Changqing that she, too, had been reborn, the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant in her soul began to tremble, warning her that the Heavenly Dao of Mystic Sky Continent was about to lock onto her and deliver a catastrophic punishment.
‘Damn Heavenly Dao of Mystic Sky Continent, one day I will destroy you!’ Murong Bing thought coldly.
“Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my abode,” Xia Changqing said, seeing Murong Bing’s shifting expression and becoming more convinced that she was on her period.
“Go, the sight of you annoys me,” Murong Bing waved her hand in annoyance.
“Wuwuwu, Senior Brother, are you alright? How could someone as gentle and kind as you possibly slaughter fellow disciples?” As soon as Xia Changqing turned, a stunningly beautiful woman, tears brimming in her eyes, rushed into his arms.
