Jiang Ming was not confident he would be able to take all of them down in one fell swoop. He decided to disguise himself to hide his identity since he was about to face experts with a powerful background. The best choice was to disguise himself as a member of the devil sect. After all, he could change the nature of his mana at will.

Jiang Ming howled when he appeared before the group from Qingyun Sect.

“The devils will destroy the heavens with 1,000 palm strikes!” Jiang Ming sent out waves of energy with his palm, bringing chaos to the place. Devil Qi permeated the air immediately and shrouded the surroundings.

Countless ink-color palm seals appeared in the sky and rained down on the mountain like a storm. The powerful impact shook the void and rippled out into the surroundings.

“A surviving member of the devil sect?” Ge Changqing frowned. Killing intent had only begun to surge from his body when he sensed the waves of diabolical energy. His expression turned grim immediately. He spat out a golden orb that swiftly expanded into a barrier that covered everyone.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air as the torrent of palm strikes landed on the light barrier. Cracks began to form on the barrier immediately.

“Stop!” Colors drained from Ge Changqing’s face as he mobilized his mana to boost the mid-grade defensive item.

Mu Lei and the other disciples were frightened. They had never witnessed a battle of such proportions from a close distance before. The turbulent and mighty waves of energy made them feel as though they were a dinghy stranded in the middle of the sea on a stormy night.

Mu Lei no longer kept up the appearance he had when he was in Jiuyang Sect. After all, among the sect members, he did not have to worry about keeping up appearance.

Crack!

A crisp noise rang from the barrier.

“This is bad!” Ge Changqing’s expression turned even grimmer as more and more cracks began to appear on his barrier. He could feel it swiftly weakening. Just as he was about to reach for Mu Lei, his barrier shattered. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly retreated after he grabbed Mu Lei. At the same time, he flicked his sleeve and carried the other nine disciples before tossing them into the distance. He did not have the time to look after them now. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air after Ge Chanqing’s barrier shattered. The force seemed capable of leveling the mountain.

Following that, Jiang Ming howled again.

‘I can’t believe I’m so powerful!’ Jiang Ming’s lit up. His blood was boiling at this moment. The attack earlier was a diabolical spell that the system had rewarded him with. It was only an ordinary spell; it could not compare to Special Abilities at all. However, it was capable of breaking Ge Changqing’s barrier. This alone proved its terrifying power.

Following that, he swept his gaze across the nine disciples who had been abandoned by Ge Changqing. Three of them had exploded into a mist of blood and another three had fallen to their deaths in the distance. The remaining three survivors who were grievously injured landed in a different spot.

Jiang Ming was about to kill them when an idea appeared in his head. “I shouldn’t kill all of them. I should leave a few witnesses behind.”

With a flash of movement, Jiang Ming chased after the fleeing Ge Changqing. He used the Great Akasa Steps and used the spatial network. With that, he traveled at top speed. He closed the distance of 1,000 meters in just a blink of an eye. Soon enough, he saw Ge Changqing suddenly turning around and tossing Mu Lei aside.

This range was close enough for Jiang Ming’s most powerful attack. If Ge Changqing abandoned Mu Lei now, Mu Lei would surely die.

“Who are you?” Ge Changqing shouted. At the same time, streaks of light weaved a protective barrier around him. “I’m an elder of Qingyun Sect. If you make an enemy out of me, it’s akin to making an enemy out of Qingyun Sect. You should think carefully before you act!”

Jiang Ming laughed maniacally. His laughter traveled 1,000 miles away. He said in an insufferably arrogant tone, “I told you that I’m from the devil sect, didn’t I? Others might fear Qingyun Sect because it’s a Sacred Land, but that’s not the case for me! I remember Qingyun Sect contributed to the destruction of my sect back then. Now that I found one of you, how can I let you live?”

“We swept through the entire Eastern Region back then and eradicated every single one of you. Every few years, our disciples would also scour the lands and weed out survivors. Even if you managed to recover slightly after all these years, what can you do? Do you know what it means for you now that you’ve shown yourself? This means there’ll be another hunt for the devils in the Eastern Region. I’ve already cast a spell and sent word back to Qingyun Sect. You should leave now before it’s too late!” Ge Changqing said with a sneer.

“Since I’ve already revealed myself, I can’t possibly leave without doing anything,” Jiang Ming said as he stepped forward. The void distorted and rippled around him when he moved. “Moreover, didn’t it occur to you that the devil sect must be prepared since I dare to show myself? We’ll roam the lands once again! Remember, the person who’ll kill you today is Luo Hou of Yinmo Sect! Now, die!”

Jiang Ming did not restrain his oppressive aura as he looked at Ge Changqing disdainfully. As soon as his voice fell, he made a move. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared next to Ge Changqing. He punched Ge Changqing with an earth-shattering force. However, he discovered that his fist went through his target’s body.

“An illusion?” Jiang Ming frowned.

“Exactly!” Ge Changqing said from 1,000 miles away. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was solemn. At some point, without Jiang Ming noticing, he had brought out a sword that emitted a purple light. The sword seemed to hold enough power to level the mountains and part the sea.

“This is Purple Cloud, a high-grade Artifact!” Ge Changqing said as he pointed the tip of the sword to the sky. A character appeared before dark clouds began to gather above him. Lightning flashed as thunder resounded in the sky. Following that, a huge vortex appeared, churning in the sky.

“Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning! Strike!”

Ge Changqing brandished the sword before a bolt of lightning struck at Jiang Ming.

The lightning bolt was extremely swift, and it seemed to have locked onto Jiang Ming’s aura, making it impossible for him to evade. Nevertheless, he vanished into thin air and reappeared a distance away. He looked at the sky and exclaimed, “Is the lightning Special Ability that Qingyun Sect is known for? Its might is truly something to behold!”

Jiang Ming had read about this from the books in the sect’s collection. He had read once it was cast, there was no escaping it. The target could only face it directly.

The Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning was a famous Special Ability. At the advanced stage, the entire world would turn into a sea of lightning. It was like a divine punishment that would strike fear into the hearts of those who witnessed it.

“You’ve gained insight into the Space Sambodha!” When realization dawned on Ge Changqing, chills ran up his spine. “Comrade Luo Huo, are we really going to fight to the death? I have no quarrel with you! I wasn’t involved in the great battle that involved the whole world 1,500 years ago! At that time, I don’t think you’re even old enough to participate in the battle, right? Why must you be stubborn then?”

“Some things never change! So-called righteous cultivators are still as hypocritical as ever! You’ll kill us when it’s in your favor but run away when things go south. When you can’t escape, you spout grand-sounding nonsense! You’d even bend your knees and lower your head!” Jiang Ming said contemptuously in a thunderous voice that seemed to reverberate across the heavens, “We, devils, cultivate without restraining ourselves and live happily without restraining our desires. We have clear beliefs and we do as we please! I feel unhappy when I see you, therefore, I’ll kill you since you make me unhappy! Die!”

Jiang Ming mobilized his diabolical power and charged forward.

“Slice the Heavens! Part the heavens and the earth!” At this time, Purple Cloud exploded with light as a terrifying Sword Sambodha shot out, seemingly capable of rending heaven and earth or cleaving the moon into two.

Boom!

Alas, Ge Changqing’s attack was destroyed by Jiang Ming’s countless palm strikes.

“Your Slice the Heaven technique isn’t as powerful as you made it seem,” Jiang Ming said as he laughed maniacally again. He did not restrain his energy and let it rampage, shattering the protective barrier around Ge Changqing. He truly looked like a devil lord at this moment.

“Lingering Specters! Follow the shadows!”

Ge Changqing kept throwing up blood after being hit. If it were not for the protective item he was wearing, he would have long died. The devil’s unrestrained energy and strength caused him to shudder. He quickly cast a spell. Clones began to appear around him. It was difficult to tell which was the real him. Moreover, he could switch places with the clones.

“I let you use your skill earlier. Do you think you’ll succeed this time?” Jiang Ming sneered. He waved his hand and used spatial energy to destroy the clones.

Ge Changqing fell. A horrified expression could be seen on his face.

“Die!” A terrifying energy burst forth from Jiang Ming. He sealed the area with the first palm strike. Then, he destroyed Ge Changqing’s defensive Artifact and protective barrier with his second strike. With the third palm strike, he destroyed Ge Changqing’s soul.

Jiang Ming, who was immersed in his role, laughed maniacally.. “The devils will have dominion over the human world!” Then, he sped toward the fleeing Mu Lei. He cackled as he said, “You must be rather important since an elder of Qingyun Sect went out of his way to protect you! I won’t let you get away, brat! Come here!”
