338: Death of Zhao Juetian

Panel upgrade?

Chu Jiang looked at the new message on the panel, a hint of joy on his face.

This was already the fourth upgrade; he wondered what new features it would bring.

[demon life essence: 148,000 years]

Not bad.

The demon life essence once again exceeded 100,000.

Chu Jiang nodded in satisfaction and left the commandery city.

After clearing the demon menace in the three commanderies, Zhao Hu and Ma Han led a thousand Demon Suppression Guards to clear out the remaining demons in the three commanderies, while the other Demon Suppression Guards returned to headquarters.

...

Yun Province City.

A young man, clutching his backside, grimaced as he left Yun Province City, surrounded by several people.

"Da Gongzi, how are you?"

Zhao Xiu looked at Zhao Juetian, seeing him constantly touching his backside. What kind of severe torture did he endure inside?

Eagle Old remained silent. He didn't know how Zhao Juetian had spent the last month in the Demon Suppression Prison.

Different demons—Mighty Ox Demon, dog demon, pig demon, horse demon—took turns. Aside from the Succubus who gave him a brief moment of comfort, Zhao Juetian's other time felt like an eternity. (σ;*Д*)σ Death penalty!

"How am I? You'll know if you get locked in there. It's truly not a place for humans!"

Zhao Juetian said mournfully. That damn beast changed his cell every day, forcing him to experience thirty days of different sensations.

He completely broke down.

A bunch of bastards, they didn't treat him, the Da Gongzi of the Zhao Family, as a human.

Not only did they not give him a private cell, but they also locked him up with demons, making his daily life a living hell.

"I want him dead, I want him to pay!"

The more Zhao Juetian thought about it, the angrier he became. He, the dignified Da Gongzi of the Zhao Family, had endured such humiliation. It was simply unacceptable.

If this got out, he would never be able to hold his head high for the rest of his life.

"Elder Jinchi, why don't we just destroy the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division? The Demon Suppression Division doesn't have much time left anyway."

Zhao Juetian suddenly said, out of the blue. He believed Elder Jinchi had this ability. Jinchi was at the Qiankun Eighth Level; one slap and half the Demon Suppression Division would be annihilated.

"Da Gongzi, the Family spent a huge price to rescue you. It's best not to cause any more trouble right now."

Elder Jinchi was speechless. He wondered if Zhao Juetian had become foolish from being in the Demon Suppression Prison to suggest such a idiotic request.

Annihilate a provincial Demon Suppression Division?

Even demons hadn't done that. If he did, it would be a complete break with the Demon Suppression Division, putting the Zhao Family in a desperate situation.

Moreover, he had just sensed a faint but powerful aura near Yun Province City, possibly even stronger than the Family Head—definitely a top-tier expert.

If he dared to act, let alone Zhao Juetian, even he would die there.

He couldn't understand it. Where did such a super expert come from in this desolate place, Yun Province?

Most importantly.

The Demon Ancient Road had also failed, and it would be difficult to open it again for two or three years.

They had to re-plan.

"Da Gongzi, just endure a few more years. The Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division won't even exist then, so why care?"

Zhao Xiu chuckled, seizing the opportunity to comfort Zhao Juetian.

"Let them live a few more years!"

Zhao Juetian said dejectedly, wishing he could kill those people right now.

Whoosh!

The air exploded.

Jinchi piloted the flying spirit boat, swiftly taking Zhao Juetian and the others away from Yun Province without a moment's delay.

They passed Fire Province, Ning Province... until they left the western region.

Entering the central five provinces.

Jinchi breathed a sigh of relief, glad that no accidents had occurred along the way.

The flying spirit boat continued its journey, crossing the borders of several major provinces.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth roared.

In an instant, a thousand blood shadows appeared, with countless blood shadow Clones in the sky, making it impossible to pinpoint his true body.

Vast Yin Qi swept across the heavens and earth.

A massive Yin Fire Palm, like a surging wave, pressed down to suppress them.

"Quick, scatter!"

Elder Jinchi was greatly alarmed, then shouted, instantly unleashing a palm strike towards the Yin Fire Palm.

Bang!

The flying boat exploded directly, scattering into fragments across ten thousand meters of Void Realm.

Their faces turned pale as they fled in different directions.

Rumble!

A crimson giant finger appeared between heaven and earth, crushing all directions, as if surrounded by endless resentful spirits, eerie and terrifying.

It pointed directly at Zhao Juetian.

"Elder Jinchi, save me!"

Zhao Juetian was paralyzed with fear, no longer caring about covering his backside, and urgently called for help.

"Blood Shadow Thousand Layers, Evil God Finger, are you from the Evil King Pavilion?"

Elder Jinchi's expression changed drastically. The situation was urgent, and he had no time to think. He instantly vanished from his spot, preparing to rescue.

But he was still a step too late.

"No, I don't want to die yet..."

Zhao Juetian looked at the Evil God Finger in despair. It was impossible to dodge; it had already locked onto him. The speed of this finger far surpassed his escape speed.

"Pfft!"

Under the Evil God Finger, Zhao Juetian's body exploded into minced meat, his Divine Soul utterly destroyed.

His cry for help still echoed in the sky.

But he had completely vanished.

"Seeking death! You people from the Evil King Pavilion are going too far!"

"Today, no matter who you are, you will stay here!"

"Heaven and Earth Net!"

Jinchi roared, witnessing Zhao Juetian die before his eyes. He completely lost control, immediately using the Zhao Family's ultimate technique.

The heavens and earth trembled, every inch of the Void Realm twisted, like a colossal net, sealing all escape routes of the person in the shadows.

The attacker, before the Heaven and Earth Net could fully form, found a gap and fled, instantly appearing a thousand li away.

"Thief, don't run!"

Jinchi raged, tearing through the Void Realm, locking onto the Divine Soul of the person in the shadows, and hotly pursuing. However, after only a dozen breaths, he completely lost track and couldn't catch up.

"Such incredible speed!"

Jinchi's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Some powerful martial arts, when Cultivated to Transcendent Perfection, had the ability to instantly teleport hundreds or even thousands of li, but generally, it could only be used two or three times as a life-saving trump card.

Firstly, the magical power was insufficient.

Secondly, without relying on magical power, traversing the Void Realm with the Physical Body, a weaker Physical Body, if too fast, would even disintegrate directly in the Void Realm.

Only some martial artists specializing in body cultivation, who had Cultivated their Physical Body to its peak, could continuously use it seven or eight, or even a dozen times.

"Damn it!"

Jinchi said unwillingly, only able to return the way he came.

This time, he truly lost both his wife and his army.

The Da Gongzi, brought back at a huge cost, was ambushed and killed on the way before even returning to the Zhao Family.

"Evil God Pavilion, why did you attack someone from my Zhao Family...?"

Blood Shadow Thousand Layers was one thing; some inner disciples could learn it.

But this Evil God Finger was the Evil King Pavilion's signature skill, only teachable to true core members, and only a dozen people knew it.

Even fewer could wield the Evil God Finger to such a high Realm.

Sigh.

Headache.

"Elder Jinchi, what do we do now?"

Zhao Xiu was both shocked and terrified. This unexpected attacker had scared them stiff.

This person clearly had the ability to kill everyone except Elder Jinchi, but only killed Zhao Juetian, which made one ponder.

Jinchi picked up a few pieces of Zhao Juetian's flesh at the scene of the recent battle, wrapped them in fine silk, and put them into his Storage Pouch.

"That's it, I'll just turn this in!"

"It's better than nothing!"

Good heavens.

Zhao Xiu was dumbfounded. If the Family Head knew his beloved son had turned into fragments.

What kind of rage would he unleash?

"Let's go!"

Elder Jinchi said in a deep voice.

With the flying spirit boat gone, the few of them could only slowly fly back themselves.

The others followed closely behind.

...

Ten thousand li away.

In an unknown Void Realm, a radiant figure stepped out.

The figure smiled wickedly, revealing his true appearance.

It was Chu Jiang.
