22: A ray of truth kills the devil (begging to read)

Sword Qi streaked across the sky.

Across a thousand miles of rivers.

It suddenly slashed down.

A white line shot out,

In an instant, the main gate shattered.

Immediately after, it rapidly approached, directly slashing at the many Demon that were pouncing on the crowd.

“Puff”

“Puff”

“Puff”

Sword Qi shot out.

One after another, the Demon were torn to shreds by the Sword Qi before they could react.

Like crumbling stones and rending silk.

They could only let out terrified roars before dying.

In a flash, the Sword Qi spun.

It shot towards the leading Scarlet-haired Demon.

The Scarlet-haired Demon watched his painstakingly cultivated demonic horde turn into flesh and blood in an instant, his demonic eyes wide with rage, as if they would spit fire.

However, when he saw the Sword Qi, as if sentient, turn and shoot towards him,

A feeling of heart-pounding dread made alarm bells ring in his heart.

He was filled with both shock and rage,

He grabbed the last demon, who was about to flee in panic, and placed him in front of himself.

With a stomp of his foot, he leaped up and shot off in the opposite direction.

And that unlucky Demon, caught and used as a shield, screamed in terror and desperately activated his demonic body.

But it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Like the other Demon,

His flesh and blood shattered.

And the Sword Qi’s momentum did not diminish.

In an instant, it caught up to the fleeing Scarlet-haired Demon.

The Scarlet-haired Demon sensed the sharp killing intent behind him, suddenly turned around, and roared,

“You're going too far!”

His ugly face became even more ferocious as he threw a punch.

He frantically activated the blood-red flames, which leaped and surged.

Directly striking the Sword Qi!

“Break for me!”

The blood-red flames enveloped the Sword Qi, attempting to refine it completely.

This was demonic fire gathered from the grievances of thousands of living beings; one step further, and it could achieve the Karma Fire Divine Ability.

He was already infinitely close to the Third Realm.

This fire already possessed some of the might of a Divine Ability.

Indeed, the Sword Qi’s offensive suddenly weakened.

The Scarlet-haired Demon felt a surge of joy, thinking that his warning had been an overreaction.

But the next second,

The Sword Qi emitted a sword cry loud enough to pierce metal and shatter stone, and its light greatly intensified.

“Puff”

The blood-fire shattered, and a white streak flashed.

One of the Scarlet-haired Demon’s arms was severed in response.

He let out a miserable groan.

His entire demonic body lost balance in mid-air and crashed down heavily.

From the rooftop, he fell into that room.

Kicking up dust.

And all of this happened in a flash.

The expressions on the faces of the dozen or so surviving commoners gradually changed from terrified despair to bewilderment.

Finally, their hearts pounded like drums, and a feeling of disbelief spread through them.

Those terrifying Essence Spirit who had wantonly massacred them.

This... this... they just... died?

They stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

Their minds were heavily impacted.

Then, remembering something, they looked towards the shattered main gate outside the courtyard, into the dark, rainy night.

Soon,

“Thump, thump, thump”

In the dark long street, the hurried sound of footsteps splashing in water rang out.

Then, amidst flashing lightning, a middle-aged man with a severed arm and a knife appeared from the darkness.

With a few leaps, he arrived before everyone.

It was none other than Wu Shan, the martial arts hall master who had returned to Yunlu County with his blade not long ago!

And when Lian Nishang saw this burly man, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

“How is it you?!”

She remembered Wu Shan; this group of martial arts hall master and disciples had covered a group of commoners, attempting to fight their way out of the city gate.

They were entangled by the Demon in the county office.

She had helped them out of their predicament.

Helping them escape Yunlu County.

Why was he back?

Moreover, she had clearly seen that sword strike just now.

That was the true meaning of Divine Ability!

Wu Shan also saw Lian Nishang, his expression relaxed, holding the hilt of his blade, he bowed with one hand,

“Fortunately, this Wu arrived not too late, and did not let benefactor suffer.”

“What did you just say? Whose decree are you following?” Lian Nishang coughed lightly, wiping the crimson from the corner of her mouth, her eyes still bright, as she asked Wu Shan.

Wu Shan continued his own interpretation, speaking of Chen Yuan, his chest filled with excitement.

“It is an old acquaintance of the heroine, the Commandant of Qingshan County!”

“Because of the rampant refugees in Yunlu County, which led to frequent appearances of Essence Spirit, the Commandant was unable to spare himself, so he specifically sent me to assist!”

Lian Nishang found that she couldn't understand what this martial arts hall master was talking about.

She was new to this place, so naturally, she had no old acquaintances.

Also, she remembered that the Patrolling Mountain Commandant of Qingshan County had already fallen!

That position had been vacant for half a year.

Because the Sky Patrol Division simply had no one left.

Even she was forced by circumstances.

To take up a post here!

Many questions arose in her heart.

Just as she was about to ask again, her expression suddenly changed.

She turned around, her eyes wide with alarm.

“Not good, retreat!”

She swept her sleeves back.

More than a dozen commoners were pushed back by the Qi she generated.

Then she herself retreated more than two zhang away.

Wu Shan also sensed the anomaly.

He followed suit and retreated!

Then he looked at the dark house with an uncertain, surprised expression.

Inside, a powerful Qi was rapidly rising.

Becoming increasingly terrifying!

Lian Nishang thought of something, her pretty face changing in alarm,

“That Demon is breaking through its limits, quickly stop him!”

Saying that, she was the first to transform into a fiery red figure, holding a Qingfeng sword, and rushed in.

Wu Shan, holding his long blade, also rushed in after her.

The remaining commoners looked at each other, their hearts filled with apprehension.

Could it be...

The next second.

A thunderous explosion sounded.

The entire house instantly exploded, unleashing a powerful wave of Qi.

Amidst the flying rubble, two figures flew back.

And crashed to the ground.

One was Lian Nishang, the other was Wu Shan!

And at the epicenter of the explosion, a ball of demonic flames shot up into the sky.

The Scarlet-haired Demon, at this moment, had his scarlet hair wildly dancing, and his demonic aura was monstrous.

His pair of crimson eyes emitted terrifying demonic light.

His body hummed and continued to swell.

A terrifying Qi was rapidly rising within his demonic body.

The crimson flames on his body emitted a terrifying might, melting everything around them.

“Haha, I’m going to succeed!”

He let out a loud laugh.

His voice was like demonic music piercing the ears, causing the commoners to cover their ears and roll on the ground.

Not far away, Wu Shan, who had been blasted to the ground, had his blade shaken loose from his hand.

It landed not far in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and crawled towards his blade.

He had said he would not disgrace that adult.

However, the Scarlet-haired Demon’s crimson eyes suddenly shot towards this side.

Then, he reached out and sucked.

The ring-handled broadsword fell into his hand.

The Scarlet-haired Demon let out a ferocious roar.

“It was this thing that dared to harm this Venerable One! Watch as this Venerable One refines you. Then, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood one by one.”

After saying that, the flames in his hand, which had turned deep red, surged frantically onto his hand.

The ring-handled broadsword quickly deformed and melted.

Then, a small sword phantom appeared within it.

When the demonic flames enveloped this small sword phantom,

“Clang”

A sword cry pierced the sky.

Breaking straight through the flames.

Then it grew larger with the wind.

A phantom in green robes stood with hands behind his back.

When the Scarlet-haired Demon saw the appearance of this phantom, he almost gnashed his teeth:

“It’s you!”

This guy had killed dozens of people at their branch altar in the middle of the night.

Not far away, Lian Nishang and Wu Shan each had different expressions.

Lian Nishang’s beautiful eyes swirled,

“So it was him!”

Wu Shan looked at the phantom, a little excited.

“Adult!”

And that phantom was clearly just a true meaning of Divine Ability.

The phantom simply raised his hand,

The wind and rain in the world suddenly stopped,

Then, sword cries echoed through the nine heavens.

Raindrops within several hundred meters around all revealed their sharp edges.

Then, they frantically condensed!

Transforming into countless Sword Qi, surging towards the Scarlet-haired Demon.

The Scarlet-haired Demon roared, his flames reaching the sky.

But after persisting for a few breaths, they collapsed with a roar.

“No!”

He let out an unwilling roar.

Then, amidst the sky-filling sword rain, his form and spirit were annihilated.

Only that voice remained, echoing in the night sky.

Then, the phantom instantly disappeared.

The wind and rain, as if paused, also began to fall again!
