NOVPUBThe Divine Sword Daoist waved his hand, and a surge of power enveloped Su Changkong and Fu Qingsi. Then, with a single step, he took them along!
As the Divine Sword Daoist stepped forward, Su Changkong saw the scenery around them rapidly change. It was as if miles, even tens of miles, were compressed into mere inches—a realm of Divine Skills!
The Divine Sword Daoist, utilizing his mastery of the Divine Skill ’Nearby but Cannot be Reached,’ set off towards Dayue City within the borders of the Bright Night Kingdom with Su Changkong in tow.
The distance of thousands of miles was traversed in less than half an hour.
In a desolate wilderness, the Divine Sword Daoist looked towards the distant city and said in a deep voice, "Young Friend Blade, I cannot approach any closer. If that Demon Monster senses my presence, it might flee outright. Be careful."
"Miss Fu, if the situation here with Young Friend Blade goes awry, or if Qin Miesheng’s true body arrives, just crush this Message Jade Talism, and I will bring people to your aid at the first opportunity."
At the same time, the Divine Sword Daoist gave Fu Qingsi instructions. He needed to return to those gathered Saint Warriors, ready to bring them here at any moment to surround and kill Qin Miesheng.
Su Changkong nodded and headed towards the distant Dayue City.
Dayue City, within the borders of the Bright Night Kingdom, was an average city with a population of two to three hundred thousand residents, fairly prosperous. But at this moment, Dayue City presented a doomsday-like scene.
A figure stood high in the sky, wearing a black robe. He appeared thin and small, his palms wrinkled, giving an impression of old age.
This robed elder emitted strands of black Monster Qi that slithered like little snakes towards the area below.
Where the black Monster Qi passed, the grass and trees withered away, and the passing pedestrians were instantly drained of their Life Force, collapsing to the ground without even managing a scream!
Wherever the Monster Qi went, more lifeless, windblown, dry corpses appeared. In a short amount of time, tens of thousands fell like so much straw.
"Save me! Save me! I don’t want to die!"
This horrifying scene sent countless people in the city into cries and chaotic flight.
The black-robed elder opened his mouth to inhale, drawing back the Monster Qi, now carrying the Life Energy, into his nostrils and mouth. His aged face revealed a trace of intoxication, "This is the power of life... Though feeble, when abundant and gathered, it is indeed nourishing!"
Just as the black-robed elder prepared to continue the slaughter, his expression suddenly sharpened, and he swiftly turned around.
In the void not far behind him, there appeared a somber man in black, with a blade at his waist. The man had arrived unnoticed, and it was only now that the elder sensed his presence.
"Dao Wufeng?"
The black-robed elder was taken aback, a chilling ferocity flashing in his eyes.
The arrival was none other than Su Changkong. Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique had reached the Transcend the Saint realm of Divine Skills, allowing him to arrive at Dayue City undetected and observe the black-robed elder.
"Indeed, it is Qin Miesheng’s qi... is this his Demon Monster avatar? It’s identical to one of the seven ’containers’ left by Pang Shengwu before."
Su Changkong scrutinized the black-robed elder before him, whose aura was the spitting image of Qin Miesheng’s. Originating from the same source as Qin Miesheng, it was likely an avatar created by Qin using some kind of Demon Art.
The aura radiating from this elder was powerful, like a black hole, capable of devouring everything. Even Shi Jingtian, who had reached the second layer Heaven of Entering Saint, was comparable in strength.
The black-robed elder immediately became vigilant, observing his surroundings, focusing his Essence, sensing for Qi, fearing other Saint Warriors might be nearby. This Demon Monster avatar was no match for Heavenly God Zuo or the Divine Sword Daoist.
Su Changkong spoke lightly, "It’s just me who has come."
After a thorough investigation, the black-robed elder confirmed there were no other Saint Warriors within a hundred miles radius. Only then did he relax slightly, a smirk appearing towards Su Changkong, "Dao Wufeng, have you lost your mind? You think just because you’ve entered saint status, you can contend with me?"
Su Changkong looked strangely at him, "Qin Miesheng, you and your worthless underlings have attacked me several times, but weren’t you all slaughtered like pigs and dogs by me each time? Why speak as if you have the upper hand against me?"
At these words, the black-robed elder was taken aback. Indeed, the first time he faced Su Changkong he had lost a Monster Soul and had taken years in the Demon Nest to cultivate a free-roaming Monster Soul.
Afterward, the Martial Artist projections and the group of Monster Warriors sent by Qin Miesheng were single-handedly butchered by Su Changkong when facing him. He had never gained the upper hand in a straight fight against Su Changkong!
Su Changkong said calmly, "Before I go to the Ancient Holy Country, I will strike you down and settle our disputes."
"Ignorant arrogance!" 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The black-robed elder’s murderous intent climbed to its peak. Now having metamorphosed into a true Demon Monster, he thought it would be effortless to slay Su Changkong. Yet Su Changkong dared to come to the Bright Night Kingdom, uttering insane claims before him. Qin Miesheng wanted to make him understand that he was far from being his equal!
If it had been Heavenly God Zuo or another such Saint Warrior, the black-robed elder would have fled immediately. But it was Su Changkong who came, stirring his intense desire to kill. He too wanted to eradicate this rapidly growing menace.
"Destruction Demon Wind!"
The black-robed elder didn’t waste words. He struck instantly, a dense Monster Qi exuding from his body, turning into strands of black demon winds. The entire sky was engulfed in clouds of Monster Qi, and the demonic wind howled, forming a massive cyclone that devoured everything in its path, fiercely spinning towards Su Changkong to grind him to dust.
