328: Kill the extremely dark monster and gain

Leaving Yuzhou City.

Several hours later.

The ruins of Daniu Village were now covered by a thick layer of soil, making it almost impossible to discern any traces of human existence.

Black Dog held a black compass, a faint trace of Bloodline flowed within it, and a golden needle trembled, pointing downwards.

"Senior, this should be Old Freak Jiyin's last known location," Black Dog said in a deep voice.

Chu Jiang's Star Soul Eye penetrated the thick layer of soil, revealing numerous villagers who had met a tragic end, their Bloodline drained, their eyes lifeless, lying beneath the ground.

This Old Freak Jiyin was no different from a demon.

"Can you pinpoint his exact location now?" Chu Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It will take some time. The blood samples taken from Old Freak Jiyin by those who took on the previous missions are almost depleted!" Black Dog's expression was grave. His compass, which used Bloodline as an lead, not only required a special secret method to activate, but most crucially, it needed the target's Bloodline.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two transformed into two long rainbows, following the compass's guidance towards their target. They flew along, but because they had to constantly adjust the compass, their speed remained slow, not even exceeding the speed of sound.

Several more hours passed.

Chu Jiang and the others arrived deep in the mountains, where a small stream flowed, winding out from an unknown mountainous region.

"Senior, his location should be two hundred li to the northeast. I am naturally timid, so I won't accompany you further." Black Dog carefully rechecked the compass in his hand, and after confirming its accuracy, he looked at Chu Jiang with a slightly embarrassed expression.

The path of life is long, and only the Dao of caution is truly embraced.

Only then can one live a long life.

His pursuit was to interact with beautiful women every day.

He certainly didn't want to die young.

Chu Jiang nodded. With his strength, if he were to get close to such a powerful evil Cultivator, he would be virtually defenseless.

It was best to stay far away.

"Senior, if you can't defeat him, you can try to get some blood from him. Otherwise, if someone else comes next time, I won't be able to find this guy," Black Dog suddenly said. He still didn't believe Chu Jiang could kill this notorious evil Cultivator who had been on the run across several prefectures.

The bounty on him was higher than that of some Qiankun Seventh Realm and above individuals. He was not someone ordinary people could contend with, let alone assassinate.

"I can give you his blood, but you probably won't need it by then," Chu Jiang said calmly.

"Senior... it's best to hide in the dark and look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. Old Freak Jiyin has mastered a High Grade escape technique. Once he reacts, he won't linger in battle; he'll definitely flee far away, and it'll be difficult to find him again." Black Dog, whether infected by Chu Jiang's confidence or something else, actually had the illusion that Old Freak Jiyin wouldn't survive the night, so he spoke.

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Chu Jiang's voice echoed in Black Dog's ears, and in the next instant, he no longer saw his figure, as he had concealed himself in the Void Realm.

"I hope... he succeeds!"

Too many people had died at the hands of this old schemer, and most of them were unarmed commoners.

He had already crossed the line.

...

Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect.

It was the only Sect in the Three Jue Mountains. The Sect Master was a Divine Power Tenth Level expert, only half a step away from the Dharma Idol Realm.

Old Freak Jiyin looked at the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect with a sinister expression, his face showing greed.

"Hehehe..."

Good luck.

His Ghost Cry Saber was still a bit short of becoming a Medium Grade Magic Treasure. It needed to kill tens of thousands more people to possibly advance.

However, slaughtering this Sect would greatly shorten the time.

After destroying another Sect, he would immediately flee Yu Prefecture, escape to the west, hide for a decade or so, and then re-emerge.

He decided to act immediately.

Boom!

"Die!"

The heavens and earth trembled, the Ghost Cry Saber tore through the Void Realm, resentful Souls surged, and the Sect's protective array was instantly shattered, sweeping across most of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect, tearing apart all those in its path.

"Who dares to attack my Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect!" The Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect Master roared, but when he clearly saw the Ghost Cry Saber in the sky, his face instantly changed dramatically. Wasn't that a major criminal on the imperial court's most wanted list?

This was a Heaven and Earth Realm expert. Why would he target his Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect? Damn it, even if he called out the Grand Elder, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single saber strike from him.

Could it be that the Legacy of my Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect was going to perish here?

Whoosh!

The Grand Elder of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect instantly emerged from the back mountain, his face grave as he looked at Old Freak Jiyin in the Void Realm.

"There's actually a Dharma Idol Eighth Realm, but he's just an ant!" Old Freak Jiyin was slightly surprised, but he didn't take it to heart at all. Let alone a Dharma Idol Eighth Realm, even a Heaven and Earth Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from his Ghost Cry Saber at this moment.

Whoosh!

Invisible in the Void Realm.

A terrifying Divine Soul power suddenly descended without warning, transforming into an unparalleled sharp sword that instantly pierced through Old Freak Jiyin's Sea of Consciousness.

Soul Piercing Thorn!

The Divine Soul power of a Qiankun Tenth Level expert surged out, tearing apart Old Freak Jiyin's Sea of Consciousness.

"Ah—"

Old Freak Jiyin's head throbbed with excruciating pain, his face contorted in agony, blood flowed from his five orifices, his Divine Soul was shattered, and he let out an extreme scream.

"Which son of a bitch ambushed me? Come out!" He prepared to immediately activate his escape technique to flee, but the intense pain in his Sea of Consciousness made it unbearable. For a moment, his internal Qi was chaotic like a tide, making it impossible to cast the technique in the short term.

The next second.

The Void Realm exploded.

A pair of sky-covering hands suddenly reached out from the Void Realm behind Old Freak Jiyin, like the descent of the Five Finger Mountain.

Old Freak Jiyin, surrounded by the Palm World, slowly recovered his senses, realizing that he had encountered a world-shaking expert and could no longer hold back.

"Explode, explode, explode, explode..."

His eyes hardened, and he detonated six great grotto-heavens in succession, his aura comparable to a Qiankun Nine Peak.

Damn bastard, he had Cultivated for over a thousand years to reach his current Realm, and now it was all gone.

Damn it, you scum!

His remaining Lifespan made it impossible to recover his strength, and even breaking through to the Heaven and Earth Realm would be extremely difficult.

But if he didn't act decisively and thoroughly, he would probably perish here today.

Whoosh!

Boom!

"Son of a bitch!"

Old Freak Jiyin was furious, desperately trying to escape, but he couldn't get out of the palm.

"Ghost Cry—Mountain Split!"

The Ghost Cry Blade Art was the accompanying technique he obtained with the Ghost Cry Saber.

Combined with the Ghost Cry Saber, his combat power at this moment was infinitely close to the Qiankun Tenth Level.

The Ghost Cry Saber cut through the firmament, slashing fiercely at the barrier of the Palm World, attempting to tear space and escape.

Hum!

Large sections of the Void Realm trembled, but the Palm World remained motionless.

"How is this possible?" Old Freak Jiyin was in disbelief. Even a Qiankun Nine expert wouldn't dare to directly face his attack. Could the person who came be a Qiankun Tenth Level expert?

Damn it.

He had only killed tens of thousands of people, and they were all insignificant commoners.

Why would such a powerful expert pursue him? Was it really necessary?

It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!

Unreasonable.

Completely unreasonable.

"This..."

"Old Freak Jiyin was instantly killed?"

The Spiritual Rhinoceros Sect Master and his Grand Elder were stunned. Who exactly was this person? This was a major evil Cultivator consistently on the imperial court's wanted list, with unfathomable strength.

Yet, he was suppressed by a single palm without even putting up a decent resistance.

It was simply outrageous.

Chu Jiang tightened his grip on the Palm World, and Old Freak Jiyin immediately felt immense pressure.

"No—"

"Senior, spare my life, I..."

Old Freak Jiyin quickly begged for mercy.

Chu Jiang ignored him and squeezed again with great force.

"Pfft!"

Blood rained down.

Old Freak Jiyin, deceased!

His corpse was collected into the purple gold gourd.

The Ghost Cry Saber, along with Old Freak Jiyin's Storage Pouch, was also collected.

Inside were:

Seven hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Several bottles of Medicinal Pills, mostly for restoring magical power and healing.

Several books.

"Bloodthirsty Great Law," "Ghost Cry Blade Art," "Murder Diary," "Evil Cultivator Survival Guide."

And a mysterious turtle shell fragment.
