166: Is Jia Wenmo really that powerful?

"Urgh, ah—!"

He let out a muffled groan of pain, his entire body unable to control itself as he half-knelt on the ground, beads of sweat as large as beans rolling down from his forehead!

"What?!"

Beside him, True Lord Jian Chen's pupils also constricted violently!

His earth-shattering sword strike also suffered, with his Sword Intent dissipating and his spiritual power backflowing at the final moment!

That heart-rending pain caused the hand holding his sword to begin trembling violently!

At this moment, the spiritual power within both of their bodies became incredibly sluggish, as if tightly bound by invisible shackles!

Whenever they tried to mobilize even a sliver of Law power, the excruciating pain originating from their Divine Soul and dao foundation would explode exponentially!

It was as if their Dao was being forcibly erased by a bizarre power!

"This... what is going on?!"

Shangguan Jing gasped in horror, his eyes filled with terror and confusion.

"Hehe..."

Jia Wenmo's unhurried, soft chuckle drifted through the air.

He lifted the already empty teacup, sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"You two, how is the taste of this 'Ten Thousand Year Snow Peak'?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jing and True Lord Jian Chen felt their hearts jolt violently, and a thought that made their souls tremble violently surged forth!

Tea!

There was something wrong with that cup of tea!

"You... you poisoned the tea?!"

True Lord Jian Chen stared fixedly at Jia Wenmo, his gaze wishing he could tear him apart and devour him alive!

"Poisoned?"

Jia Wenmo shook his head and corrected him, "No, no, no, Manor Master Sword Dust, that is incorrect."

"This is not some mundane poison, but a little trinket I brought from the 'Ancient God Court'."

His smile became increasingly sinister and triumphant.

"Its name is 'Spirit Locking Law Breaking Powder'."

"It is colorless and odorless; once dissolved into the Spiritual Tea, even a Soul Transformation True Lord would find it hard to detect."

"Its effect... is also very simple."

"It is specifically targeted at you... Cultivators who have cultivated the power of 'Law'!"

"Once you use the Law, your dao foundation will ache, and your Divine Soul will feel as if it is splitting apart!"

"How is it? This feeling, it is not pleasant, is it?"

A cruel glint flickered in Jia Wenmo's eyes.

"The reason I have spoken so much nonsense with you two is not because I am kind-hearted."

"But because I was waiting..."

"—Waiting for this medicine to take full effect!"

"In this way, taking down two Late Nascent Soul Stage giants of the East Sea Region will be... effortless!"

"Haha... hahahahaha!"

His arrogant, triumphant laughter echoed throughout the entire Three Seas City Lords Mansion!

"Despicable! Shameless!"

True Lord Jian Chen was shaking with rage, a mouthful of blood nearly spurting out!

"You insidious, cunning extraterrestrial fiend!!"

Despite boasting of a clear Sword Heart and calculating every move, he never imagined that from the moment he stepped into this Three Seas City Lords Mansion, he had already fallen into the inescapable net the other party had set long ago!

"Despicable?"

The smile on Jia Wenmo's face slowly faded, replaced by indifference and coldness.

"Manor Master Sword Dust, it seems you have not yet figured out the situation."

"In this world, there are only winners and losers; what is there to speak of regarding despicable or noble?"

"History is written by the victors; this has always been the case since ancient times!"

He waved his hand lightly, his tone as if he were ordering a servant to dispose of two pieces of trash.

"Black Dragon, do it."

"—Finish them off!"

"Roar!"

The Black Dragon, which had remained silent all this while, erupted with endless greed and brutality in its Dragon eyes, which were burning with nether ghost fire, upon hearing this!

It stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked its lips, its hoarse voice filled with yearning.

"Two Late Nascent Soul Stage Divine Souls are truly... excellent nourishment!"

"After devouring you both, my injuries will be more than half recovered!"

Boom!

The terrifying pressure of the Spirit Transformation Realm was unleashed without reservation, like an ancient sacred mountain, crashing down upon the two who had long since lost the power to resist!

The shadow of death instantly shrouded their hearts!

"Don't even think about it!!!"

At this critical moment, Shangguan Jing bit the tip of his tongue hard, forcibly suppressing the excruciating pain in his Divine Soul, and let out a tragic, furious roar toward the sky!

"Moo—!!!!!"

An earth-shattering bellow suddenly exploded!

A flash of light appeared before Shangguan Jing!

A terrifying bull demon, standing a hundred feet tall, its entire body wreathed in Five Elements divine light, with knotted muscles that looked as if they were cast from divine gold, appeared out of thin air!

It was his life-bound Spirit Beast, which had already reached the Mid Fourth Tier Stage, comparable to a Mid Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator—the Five Elements Bull Demon!

"Old Bull!!!"

Shangguan Jing's eyes were bloodshot, transmitting his voice via Divine Thought, his tone hoarse and urgent!

"Run!!!"

"At all costs, escape back to the Beast Taming Sect!"

"Tell the Sect everything that happened here, tell them about the conspiracy of this extraterrestrial fiend Jia Wenmo! Inform the Myriad Spirits Manor!"

"—Hurry, go!!!"

The Five Elements Bull Demon possessed high intelligence and instantly understood the desperate situation before it!

Its large, copper-bell-like eyes revealed endless grief and reluctance, but it still suddenly turned its head!

Boom!

Its four hooves shattered the Void Realm as it transformed into a stream of Five Elements light, frantically fleeing toward the outside of the Three Seas City Lords Mansion!

This was the final hope!

It was the last hope to preserve a spark for the East Sea Region!

"Hehe..."

"Want to leave?"

A cold laugh sounded like a death-summoning demonic incantation.

"In front of me, do you... think you can escape?"

Jia Wenmo's figure ghost-like, instantly appeared on the path of the Five Elements Bull Demon's escape!

From within his seemingly frail body, he unleashed a terrifying power completely inconsistent with his Early Nascent Soul stage cultivation!

"Get back here!"

He clenched his fingers into a fist and threw a seemingly ordinary punch!

Hum—!

The space itself groaned under the unbearable weight of this punch!

"Moo!"

The Five Elements Bull Demon roared, its formidable horns, flashing with Five Elements Law runes, meeting the attack head-on!

Bang—!

An earth-shattering boom!

The violent shockwave instantly blew away the entire guest hall!

Amidst the swirling dust!

A scene occurred that made Shangguan Jing and True Lord Jian Chen's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets!

The Five Elements Bull Demon, which was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, had actually been forcibly stopped in its tracks by this single punch!

And Jia Wenmo, his figure only swaying slightly, had steadied himself!

Man and beast were actually...

Matched evenly, locked in a stalemate!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Shangguan Jing's heart sank completely to the bottom of the valley!

Early Nascent Soul stage!

He actually used Early Nascent Soul stage cultivation to go head-to-head with a Fourth Tier demon king comparable to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage?!

This Jia Wenmo's strength...

Just how unimaginably powerful has he become?!

"Jie jie jie..."

At the same time, the Black Dragon's hair-raising laughter sounded once again.
