Young Master Wushuang, with his vast experience, naturally knew what the starlit sky represented. The power of the stars, considered one of the most mysterious forces in the world, was wielded by only a handful of individuals!
He had never imagined Ming Qi could actually mobilize the power of the stars. His strongest sword move was clearly futile.
"You can actually control the power of the stars!"
Young Master Wushuang gritted his teeth, grasping with both hands. Shadows of divine weapons flew from all directions.
Ming Qi emerged from the shadows, the Fire Emperor Sword in his hand silently thrusting at Young Master Wushuang.
At this point, he had no further concerns. The sword that had most threatened his life was no longer a threat. Young Master Wushuang was no longer a threat!
Young Master Wushuang finally realized he had no chance of a comeback. He let out a roaring laugh, and streams of black demonic energy emerged from his hands. These demonic energies flew in all directions, some even penetrating directly into the bodies of the Divine Weapon Sect's disciples.
"Hahaha, even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!"
As Young Master Wushuang laughed, three particularly dense streams of black energy flew in three different directions.
One was the already surrounded Demon Spirit Walker, another was the Demon Soldier God-Mie hidden in the rear, and the last was heading for Meng Ling in the distance!
"How dare you!"
Ming Qi would naturally ignore the others, but in Meng Ling's case, there was no way he would let Young Master Wushuang intervene.
"Hahaha, boy, how can you change the power of fate?"
Ming Qi said nothing. The Fire Emperor Sword in his hand roared and slashed at the dancing demonic energy, but the black demonic energy seemed to have a spirit, and no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't break through.
"A life of slavery, a life of slavery forever! This is fate, you can't change it, hahahaha!"
Young Master Wushuang grabbed hold of the black energy and continuously pulled it toward him.
Seeing he couldn't sever the demonic energy, Ming Qi charged forward with his sword. Since he couldn't sever it, he would simply kill Young Master Wushuang!
"I will defy fate and change my destiny!"
Ming Qi roared, and the brilliant crimson light of the Fire Emperor Sword poured forth like a river, surging directly toward Young Master Wushuang!
A deafening roar instantly spread in all directions. The low-level disciples of the Divine Weapon Sect, caught in the swirling black demonic energy, were instantly drawn into it, surging toward Young Master Wushuang.
At this moment, Meng Ling fully demonstrated the power of the ancient demon weapon, the Human Blood Demon Harp. Although she struggled to resist Young Master Wushuang's demonic energy, as if it were predestined, she continued to fly swiftly toward him.
"…!"
Ming Qi saw it, and without a second thought, he charged madly at Young Master Wushuang once again.
The Fire Emperor Sword blossomed in his hand like a flower, its dazzling crimson color saturating the entire sky like a rosy rosy cloud. The black demonic energy surrounding Young Master Wushuang beneath the blood-red sky became even more sinister.
Puff!
Ming Qi slashed with his sword!
"I will surely be resurrected soon. Just wait, hahaha!"
Faced with death, Young Master Wushuang showed no fear, laughing relentlessly as if such a death had nothing to do with him.
"Resurrection? Humph!"
Ming Qi raised his hand, and the black dot on the Great Five Elements Fan rapidly expanded, forming a black cage in the blink of an eye, enveloping Young Master Wushuang's entire body.
"Your soul will never be reborn!"
Ming Qi manipulated the power of the spectral spirit within it and began to frantically hunt Young Master Wushuang's spirit.
This was a long process, but Ming Qi had no time to wait. While doing this, his other hand never stopped, and the Fire Emperor Sword completely chopped Young Master Wushuang into ash.
Finally, only the black cage, encircling Young Master Wushuang's soul, remained, slowly returning to the Great Five Elements Fan.
Boom!
The moment the black cage merged with the Great Five Elements Fan, Ming Qi could clearly feel it tremble violently. It seemed Young Master Wushuang's soul was incredibly powerful.
At the same time, Ming Qi immediately turned to search for Meng Ling.
Meng Ling hadn't vanished, but to Ming Qi's great shock, she had returned to her demonic form. The bloody energy of the Human Blood Demon Harp was surging, yet the young girl's appearance was nowhere to be seen.
Reaching out to sense Meng Ling's faint presence on the demon harp, Ming Qi ultimately temporarily stored her within the Supreme Divine Diagram, awaiting a chance to revive her in the future.
The war subsided, and tranquility returned to the skies above the Divine Weapon Sect. Looking down, the land was nearly completely reduced to ruins, and few disciples were visible. Most had likely fled or perished in the aftermath of the battle.
Ming Qi naturally had no time to worry about these matters. He had already razed the Divine Weapon Sect to the ground. As for the agreement he had made with Yu Quanzhen that day, it was now of no consequence.
Thinking for a moment, Ming Qi casually summoned a cloud of fire, completely incinerating the remaining buildings below.
"Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, his somewhat lonely figure streaked across the air.
…
Three days later, Xilan Province was in turmoil.
The recently revived and invincible Divine Weapon Sect had been reduced to dust in the blink of an eye, vanishing from existence. The massacre in Guangling and the burning of Jiufang Palace were enough to shock the entire Central Land.
During this period, many speculated about the decision of the City of Gods, the ruler of the entire Central Earth, regarding such a major change in Xilan Province.
The City of Gods represented the authority of the entire Central Earth, and even the Tianhuang World. Remaining silent in such a situation was impossible. Even Ming Qi was awaiting the arrival of someone from the Divine Realm.
Just as Ming Qi had suspected, he received a visitor shortly after returning to Qiankun Mountain from the Divine Weapon Gate.
However, Ming Qi was somewhat surprised to learn that the visitor was none other than Mu Feiyun, the former governor of Xiongfeng City.
Mu Feiyun seemed to have known Ming Qi had been staying in Qiankun Mountain. Upon his arrival, he stated his purpose, stating that someone from the Divine Realm had arrived in Xiongfeng City and demanded that Ming Qi immediately go there to explain the recent events.
"What if I don't go?"
After hearing Mu Feiyun's words, Ming Qi replied without even asking who the visitor was.
By this point, Mu Feiyun knew his weight was diminished in the eyes of the man before him. He cautiously replied, "It's not too late for you to go and take a look. Otherwise, I'll have trouble explaining to the Divine Realm. Please don't embarrass me."
Mu Feiyun had already given in, barely holding his nose. Ming Qi pondered, realizing that Mu Feiyun was merely an errand boy. He said, "Alright, I'll go to Xiongfeng City. But I'll warn you beforehand: Tell the people from the Divine Realm not to give me a reason to burn Xiongfeng City."
Hearing this, Mu Feiyun shuddered, nodded, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Mu Feiyun had no time to speculate on the fate that had led this young man, unknown decades ago, to such an unstoppable rise. His concern was how to prevent Xiongfeng City from being massacred.
