"At the very least, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator who is also skilled in methods of concealment."
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Sheng's mind.
He had investigated that the strongest person in Cangnan Commandery was the Old Ancestor of the Cangnan Li Family, a Soul Transformation Early Stage Cultivator. However, the Heavenly Demon Sect already knew that he had left Great Xia and was unlikely to appear here.
"I'll test him first."
Chen Sheng pondered for a moment, still unwilling to just flee like this.
Perhaps it was a powerful Cultivator passing by?
"Everyone, prepare to attack. This person should not be simple."
Chen Sheng decisively gave the order.
"Yes!"
A leisurely voice drifted over.
"Are you talking about me?"
As soon as this voice appeared, a Formation quickly spread, instantly enveloping the entire back mountain.
A young Cultivator in white robes stepped hundreds of meters in a single stride, arriving in the back mountain.
"When did he get here?!"
Chen Sheng's pupils constricted, his gaze sharp, and a terrifying Devilish Qi surged from his body.
The other Demonic Cultivators also changed their expressions. They were all Cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm, but they didn't expect Han Xuanji's Aura to flash by and then he was already here.
One must know that they had laid down layers of Restrictions at this hidden location, and the periphery was also guarded by many Golden Core Demonic Cultivators. Yet, someone had now reached right before their eyes.
Such methods sent shivers down their spines.
Chen Sheng wanted to activate the Formation, but found that the Formation had already been silently destroyed.
"Damn it!"
Chen Sheng couldn't help but curse inwardly, feeling a sudden sense of dread.
"Your Excellency, where are you from?"
Chen Sheng suppressed the panic in his heart and asked in a deep voice,
"The Heavenly Demon Sect conducts its affairs and will not disturb you."
Those on the Demonic Path were not fools; they knew when to bow their heads.
However, in his words, he also subtly conveyed his identity as a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, fearing that the other party might not recognize him.
Indeed, they were from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Han Xuanji smiled. Killing Demonic Cultivators carried no psychological burden for him. The blood on the hands of these Demonic Cultivators was immeasurable, especially the Mortals of North Underworld State, who were almost raised by the various Demonic Sects like leeks, growing and then being harvested.
In fact, Chen Sheng, as a Saint, also had his own 'park', but the Demonic Sects also had rules that they couldn't harvest too much at once.
To forge a perfect Foundation, the amount of blood Qi required was naturally enormous; even sacrificing all living beings in his governed area would not be enough.
Therefore, Chen Sheng's plan for Yong Province was very ambitious: to use the power of Celestial Azure Venerable to sacrifice the hundreds of millions of living beings in Cangnan Commandery. This would not only enhance his reputation but also help him achieve his Soul Transformation Dao.
"Where I come from isn't important. What's important is that I am the one who will kill you all."
Han Xuanji sneered.
"How dare you!"
Chen Sheng's eyes flashed, and he roared,
"Attack together!"
As his voice fell,
the dozen or so Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivators present attacked at once.
Chen Sheng's attack was particularly fierce. A surge of Devilish Qi spread in all directions, instantly transforming into a vast net that enveloped Han Xuanji.
Heavenly Demon Extinction Claw!
He was born with a Demonic Embryo, which made him exceptionally compatible with Demonic Cultivation Techniques. This Demonic secret art was incredibly powerful, and he had cultivated it to its Peak, possessing immense spirit-breaking power, capable of easily suppressing even Nascent Soul Peak Cultivators.
One could say,
below Soul Transformation, Chen Sheng feared no one.
"Is that all?"
Han Xuanji didn't even bother to look at Chen Sheng, casually raising his right hand and pointing a finger from afar.
He's crazy?
Chen Sheng's eyes were fierce. At this point, he no longer thought about hiding his Aura. A rhomboid mark on his forehead flashed with bloody light, and Devilish Qi covered the sky and earth, as if a true demon had descended upon the human world. The entire mountain Peak was shaken by this Aura.
However, the next second, a sharp sound ripped through the air.
"Boom!"
The powerful spiritual energy was like a divine sword, unstoppable, instantly piercing through layers of attacks, then penetrating Chen Sheng's forehead.
"You…?"
Chen Sheng's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Dead silence.
The entire mountain forest was silent, all the Demonic Cultivators were stunned.
The Demonic Path Saint, who was usually so high and mighty, had just died like that?
In an instant,
the faces of many Demonic Cultivators turned pale, and the thought of retreating arose in their hearts.
People of the Demonic Path were inherently selfish.
They had no intention of avenging the Saint; instead, they pondered how best to escape.
Although they might be held accountable by Chen Sheng's Master later, it was better than dying now, right?
"Run!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
In an instant, hundreds of people scattered like startled birds, not daring to look back.
As the saying goes, 'let the Fellow Daoist die, not the poor Daoist.'
Whoever ran faster had a glimmer of hope; those who ran slower could only be scapegoats!
But could they escape?
Han Xuanji was not a soft-hearted person. These Demonic Cultivators, every single one of them, were not good people. His actions could completely be considered eliminating harm for the people.
"If you must blame something, blame it on meeting me."
Han Xuanji waved his sleeve and said faintly.
The next moment,
all the Demonic Cultivators discovered that this space was sealed, and they couldn't escape at all.
Then Han Xuanji conjured a sword shadow with his fingertip, and the sword light divided into thousands.
Accompanied by heart-wrenching wails,
all the Demonic Cultivators, without exception, died on the spot, not even having time for their Nascent Soul to escape.
After doing all this, Han Xuanji frowned, only to find that Chen Sheng's corpse had disappeared at some point.
"A substitute treasure?"
Seeing this, Han Xuanji couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He had also signed for a few such life-saving items, which could block a fatal blow from anyone below a Body Integration Realm expert and instantly teleport you to a very distant place.
Han Xuanji didn't know Chen Sheng's identity, but he realized that this guy's background was probably extraordinary.
"It's very likely that after dealing with the junior, the senior will come."
Han Xuanji murmured.
Immediately after, he waved his hand, and all the spoils of war were collected into his possession.
Then, Han Xuanji activated his Cave Void Divine Eye, his gaze penetrating layers of Void Realm, discerning a thousand miles away.
At the same time,
Chen Sheng dared not stop, fleeing with all his might.
In fact, he had anticipated that Han Xuanji's strength was not simple, but he never expected to be instantly killed!
"Damn it, he's definitely an old monster bullying the young!"
Chen Sheng couldn't help but curse,
"If only I had more time to cultivate, I would definitely kill you!"
He believed that he was never inferior to anyone in his life. Among his generation of Demonic Cultivators, who didn't retreat three steps upon seeing him?
To be able to compete and become a Saint in the cruel Demonic Sect, although it was inseparable from his Master's strong support, his strength and talent were also beyond doubt.
At this moment,
in Yong Province, at the Heavenly Demon Sect's branch.
Celestial Azure Venerable opened his eyes, frowning slightly:
"Urgent rescue?"
Seeing the rescue message from Chen Sheng, Celestial Azure Venerable didn't think much. If he stood by and did nothing, and Chen Sheng's Returning to Void Realm Master held him accountable, it would be very difficult for him.
He was already ostracized within the Heavenly Demon Sect.
If he were targeted again, it would be very hard for him to get by.
Thinking of this, Celestial Azure Venerable stepped out, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards Chen Sheng's location at an extremely fast speed.
"Azure Darkness Protector is a Soul Transformation Peak expert. When he takes action, I will have him dismember that bastard, extract his soul, and make him my soul slave!"
Chen Sheng's heart was filled with killing intent.
Just thinking of that scene made him incredibly satisfied!
