n

n

n“You’re from the Imperial Court!” The masked man pressed against the ground, blood flowing uncontrollably from his palms. He crawled backward, leaving a bloody trail on the ground.

n

n“Yes,” Xiao Ran admitted with pride.

n

n“Just kill me!” The masked man closed his eyes.

n

n“I knew it. You won’t talk if I don’t torture you,” Xiao Ran said knowingly.

n

nTen consecutive shots of Heavenly Slave Divine Finger hit his body at once.

n

nThe masked man was very tenacious. This was the first time Xiao Ran had seen someone persist to the end under the torture of the Heavenly Slave Divine Finger.

n

nHe shook his head at his corpse.

n

nThe Golden Tome of Creation flipped open to a random page and displayed a total of three items. The rewards were stacked together. 800,000 Mastery points, 90 years worth of Martial Arts Evolution, and 10 years worth of Immense Righteous Energy.

n

nTwo Level 10 Grand Masters only yielded so little?

n

nHe added 800,000 Mastery points to the Heavenly Slave Divine Finger.

n

nAfter the attributes were refreshed,

n

nHeavenly Slave Divine Finger: Dominating Refinement

n

nHis purifying spiritual force had increased by three times. He was 430 years away from breaking through to the Level 4 of the Profound Realm.

n

nThe Immense Righteous Energy increased again and accumulated to a very thick dense level.

n

nHe walked over to where Old Zheng was lying. After not seeing him for so many days, it seemed that his life had become more and more fulfilling.

n

n“The capital city is so big. You could have chosen anywhere to be your battlefield. Why did you have to come here to find novelty?” Xiao Ran grumbled at the unconscious figure.

n

nHe kicked him a few times to vent his anger.

n

nHe then turned around and left.

n

nThey would wake up in a short while. With such a big commotion happening here, it wouldn’t be long before someone came to check.

n

nYin Jijie had been leading a happy life in the capital city recently.

n

nHe was able to hunt for prey as he searched for the killer of the Snow Consort.

n

nCompared to the days when he practiced his skills on the Great Viridian Mountain, his skills evolution progress was slow and there was no joy in the process at all.

n

nHowever, it was different here.

n

nIn the three days he was in the capital city, three Grand Masters and a Profound Realm demon had died at his hands. His skills evolution levels increased very rapidly.

n

nHe particularly relished the sense of accomplishment of killing the opponents, and torturing them to death little by little.

n

nIt gave him tremendous pleasure to watch their desperate, futile struggles.

n

nAt nightfall,

n

nhe emerged from his hiding place and walked the streets in the dark of the night, continuing his hunt for prey.

n

nHe had been very lucky. Not long after he came out, he sniffed at the fluctuations of lingering aura in the air. There were many people and they were quite strong.

n

nHe followed the scent until he arrived at an ordinary courtyard.

n

nHis face was burning with hungry fervor as he licked his lips malevolently. “More delicious food.”

n

nHe then entered the courtyard.

n

nYama’s premises were heavily guarded here, and Yin Jijie did not conceal his presence. He simply strolled in brazenly. As soon as he appeared, the people in the courtyard were put on the alert.

n

n“Take him down!” The leader of the group of people in the courtyard ordered.

n

nA dozen or so Grand Masters rushed forward in a concerted attack on him.

n

nAlthough very few people entered the capital city during this lockdown period, their caliber was of very high quality. Every one of them was an elite.

n

nThen again, it depended on who they were being compared to.

n

n“I have indeed come to the right place.” Yin Jijie broke into an evil smile.

n

nHe opened his mouth wide. Rays of green light shot out and transformed into a massive mouth that was hundreds of feet wide above his head. A terrifying suction force issued forth. The dozen or so Grand Masters who rushed up did not have any ability to resist and were effortlessly swallowed by him in one gulp.

n

nHe smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. “It tastes terrible.”

n

nHis gaze then fell on the leader and he grinned. In the eyes of the injured guy, that grin was more horrifying than the devil himself. He backed away in fear.

n

nThen he turned and ran towards the room, yelling, “Enemy attack…”

n

nHe’d barely uttered two words. Before he could complete his sentence, he felt his body being yanked back uncontrollably and his neck being grabbed by a palm.

n

nThe room door opened.

n

nTwo shadows flashed out from inside the room.

n

nOne was dressed in a red robe wearing a devil’s mask.

n

nThe other person was dressed like a Daoist priest and held a horsetail whisk. Both of them were at the level of the Profound Realm. As soon as they appeared, they locked onto Yin Jijie.

n

n“Let him go!” The Deputy Hall Master hissed menacingly.

n

n“If you want him, come and get him yourself,” goaded Yin Jijie.

n

nThe Deputy Hall Master looked at Daoist Priest. “Get out of here now. I’ll have to count on you for the rest of the matters.”

n

n“Be careful. There’s more to this demon than meets the eye.” The Daoist Priest warned.

n

n“I am mentally prepared.”

n

nWith a tap of his foot, the Daoist Priest transformed into a quivering shadow and shot away in a blur.

n

n“Don’t even think about leaving.” Yin Jijie gave a sinister laugh.

n

nHe tapped his finger in the air, and a shot of elemental demonic energy tore through the air and instantly caught up to him, entering his body.

n

nThe Daoist Priest gave him an icy glare but did not stop. He had to get out of here first, then he could activate a technique to dispel this demonic energy.

n

nNow that he had nothing to worry about, the Deputy Hall Master strode towards the intruder in a ferocious rage.

n

nA violent murderous intent swirled out of his body. His aura was massive. With every step, his aura increased exponentially and swept towards his opponent in a crushing pressure. “I’m coming!”

n

nIn a sudden flash, he attacked.

n

nA shot of black light in the shape of a fist tore through the air. The overpowering fist force destroyed the surrounding courtyard in its path as it launched itself towards the enemy.

n

n“You should taste pretty good,” Yin Jijie mused out loud.

n

nHe grabbed and tore the hapless leader in his hand apart and swallowed him alive. Dark red blood oozed out at the corners of his mouth, making him look more barbaric.

n

nRays of green light soared into the sky spreading out like a galaxy of light. As he moved, the thick demonic aura swirled out and condensed into a mountain. His two arms turned into wolverine claws and slammed out violently.

n

nWhen it made contact with the oncoming fist, everything around them was pulverized.

n

nWith the two combatants in the center, everything within a radius of thousands of feet turned into ruins.

n

nJust as the two sides were about to attack again, a loud voice bellowed out. “Brazen demon! How dare you come to the capital city to wreak havoc? You won’t leave this place alive!”

n

nInfinite Immense Righteous Energy swept out in a whirlwind, and a figure strode across the sky.

n

nIn the vast expanse between heaven and earth, the Immense Righteous Energy condensed into a terrifying gigantic sword that was seven to eight hundred feet in size.

n

nThe righteous and saintly aura flowed and swirled, slashing towards Yin Jijie.

n

n“Damn it! Of all the available time in the world, why did you have to choose now to make your appearance when I am on the verge of succeeding?” Yin Jijie’s face clouded over with irritation.

n

nHowever, he dared not let his guard down against this huge sword heading his way.

n

nHe reverted to his true form and a giant silver wolf appeared on the spot. With its wolf-like claws he slashed out a flash of green light. It then vanished in a whirl of demonic wind without once looking back.

n

nWhile they were in combat, the Yama’s Deputy Hall Master had taken the opportunity to make his escape.

n

nA Profound Realm Great Scholar who had attained enlightenment of the Immense Righteous Energy was not someone he wanted to mess with.

n

nThe air-borne character descended from the sky and revealed his true appearance. It was Old Gu.

n

nLooking in the direction they had fled, he decided that his target would be Yin Jijie. “Let me get rid of you first, demon, before I deal with Yama’s rascals.”

n

nHe invoked his movement technique and swiftly went in pursuit of his quarry.

n

nOn the streets,

n

nXiao Ran was about to reach Jingwen Square. In a short while, he would reach home.

n

nRight at this moment,

n

nYin Jijie and the Deputy Hall Master from Yama launched their attacks, emitting a shocking aura that could be felt from afar.

n

n“Eh? A Profound Realm demon?” Xiao Ran’s eyes lit up with delight.

n

nWith the Traversing the Heavens in Twelve Steps, he strode out with twelve steps. His speed increased twelve-fold as he rushed towards the location of their battle.

n

nHalfway down the street,

n

nhe happened to bump into the fleeing Deputy Hall Master from Yama. The guy was wearing a devil’s mask and blood-red robes. He was of the Profound Realm level, and he was trying to make a frantic escape.

n

nJoy and delight was written all over Xiao Ran’s face.

n

nThis was a gift from heaven. This sudden feeling of happiness was simply too unexpected!

n

nHe went in hot pursuit of the Yama guy.

n

nMoments later,

n

nthe Deputy Hall Master stopped and stood still on the rooftop. He turned to look at Xiao Ran menacingly, who was heading straight for him. His eyes glimmered with ruthlessness. “Purgatory Void Fist!”

n

nHe launched his attack with all his might.

n

nAn infinitely terrifying beam of light in the shape of a giant fist went smashing towards Xiao Ran, tearing everything else in its path to pieces.
