Chapter 939 The Power of Immaculate Purity, The End of an Obsession
At that critical moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the horizon.
The sudden appearance of the figure left everyone speechless.
It was a figure draped in a black robe, whose face was completely obscured, yet he exuded a powerful aura; he was actually a martial artist at the Yang Chu Realm!
After a fierce shout, he punched through the sky with both fists, releasing endless fist shadows that instantly enveloped the three demon saints who had come to help.
Originally, they only needed to join forces to deliver a single blow to disable the broken flying knife and prevent it from pursuing the Eagle King. However, due to the appearance of the black-robed man, they were directly isolated in two directions and could not affect the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife at all.
However, the three demon saints were not to be underestimated. Although the Broken Soul Mountain Range was the most powerful of the four perilous lands, only the Eagle Emperor had the highest cultivation level. The three of them were only at the initial stage of demon saints.
But since it's three people working together, why would they be afraid of a mere Yang Chu martial artist?
A demon saint roared, "You're courting death!"
Immediately, the three demon saints revealed their true forms, and three beams of divine power blasted towards the black-robed man.
The man in black robes was none other than Ye Kang.
He arrived just in time to see the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife unleash its supreme power. He thought he wouldn't need to help anymore, but then three more troublesome demon saints jumped out.
Then there's nothing more to say. As long as we stop these three guys, this situation will be resolved.
Therefore, he used all his strength, unleashing his terrifying physical power, and punched the demon saint on the left.
The latter had already underestimated Ye Kang, and his speed was far inferior, so he naturally couldn't react in time and was punched through the body, causing countless pieces of flesh to be blasted out.
The wailing continued unabated. He dodged another divine attack, then turned and kicked back with his right foot, the immense force slamming into the injured demon saint's body once more.
With a loud bang, the unfortunate demon saint's true form almost collapsed, and half of his demonic energy dissipated, leaving him severely injured!
With a single punch and kick, a beginner-level demon saint was crippled. This scene shocked everyone and caused the other two demon saints to break out in a cold sweat.
The severely injured demon saint, in particular, felt extremely bitter.
Three people were hitting you together, so why were you only hitting me?
It was this momentary obstruction that caused the three demon saints to lose their best opportunity to influence the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.
The flying knife shot out and caught up with the Eagle King.
Even though the latter had unleashed a speed beyond its race, it was locked onto by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and had no way to escape.
This was Su Zhongjing's ultimate trump card, a deadly strike unleashed at the cost of his lifespan.
The Eagle King roared and turned to unleash countless attacks.
But the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was completely unaffected, rushing out of the attack as if it were nothing, and directly piercing the Eagle King's heart.
In an instant, all hope was lost.
The Eagle King's physical body collapsed, but as a late-stage Great Demon Saint, he still had ways to save his life. His demon soul reappeared, and he was not severed!
Su Zhongjing's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes revealed deep resentment.
His lifespan is limited to activating the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife only once, and slashing twice is the limit of this flying knife.
The Eagle King should have been completely annihilated along with his demonic soul, so why is this happening?
Just then, Huo Liancheng, who was in the distance, exclaimed, "What happened!"
Everyone looked over and saw that opposite Huo Liancheng, the Eagle Queen, who had been fighting him, had lost her focus and was lying motionless on the ground.
Everyone could see that the Eagle Queen was now just a corpse, her life force extinguished, and her demonic soul had been completely shattered!
Huo Liancheng was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't done this!
Su Zhongjing and Ye Kang both realized what was happening and looked in the direction of the Eagle Emperor.
"You old beast! You actually let the Queen Eagle die in your place! She was your sister and wife!"
The first time Su Zhongjing truly broke down and cursed was because the Eagle King took the Eagle Queen's place in death, which touched the deepest sore spot in Su Zhongjing's heart.
His wife died because she shielded him from the Eagle King's attack.
The same situation, but completely different choices. Su Zhongjing roared in fury, his white hair fluttering, and countless primordial spirit attacks bombarded the Eagle Emperor.
The latter merely smiled dismissively: "My sister was destined to die for me from the moment she was born; that's her fate. And you can't kill me!"
Eagle King turned to flee. His original body was now completely destroyed, leaving only his demonic soul. His combat power was more than halved. If he were to be attacked by Su Zhongjing, he would not be able to withstand it. However, if he wanted to run, that old and dying fellow would certainly not be able to stop him.
Just as the Eagle King turned and ran away, suddenly, a strange beam of light descended and slashed fiercely at his demonic soul.
With that one swipe, the Eagle King was completely stunned, as if he had sensed an incomparably holy aura, and that he himself was an incomparably holy person.
But the next second, he realized something was wrong and saw that his true demonic soul form had been flattened by the beam of light!
The divine power and Dharma form of the demon soul were completely wiped out, not a single one was left!
And yet I didn't react at all! How is that possible?
He was terrified, and then an even more terrifying aura struck him—it was Su Zhongjing's primordial spirit attack!
That last attack prevented me from escaping!
"No!!! Who is it!!!"
The Eagle King let out a desperate roar, its mournful cry echoing through the heavens.
However, there is no doubt that he, whose divine power had been stripped away by the beam, could not possibly withstand this attack. His trump card of taking his place was also gone, and he had no other means left.
With a deafening roar, the Eagle King's true form shattered, and the late-stage Demon Saint perished.
"Kill!!!"
Seeing this, Su Hongxiu on the ground burst into tears. At the same time, she roared, and everyone's fighting spirit soared, and they began to kill wildly.
The demons were terrified; their king was dead!
They lost all will to fight and fled back to the Broken Soul Mountain Range, instantly turning the battle into a one-sided rout.
"not good!"
On the horizon, the three demon saints from the perilous lands frowned upon seeing this. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but that damned man in black robes had been watching them, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
Now that the outcome is decided, the three demon saints exchanged a glance and fled at the same time.
Ye Kang didn't pursue them. After all, these three demon saints were big shots guarding dangerous places, and if he killed them casually, he wouldn't be able to explain it to King Wei.
As long as the general's matter is successful, that's enough.
Ye Kang turned his head, retrieved the scattered temple, and at the same time, a withered fragment of his soul returned to the Ink Jade Realm.
That's right, the beam of light that just swept away the Eagle Emperor's true form and divine might was Ye Kang's primordial spirit attack technique, Immaculate Soul Splitting.
This is an unparalleled technique of the primordial spirit, a great opportunity for the Immaculate Immortal, but where in the world is there an Immaculate Immortal?
The Eagle King was covered in filth, so when the power of purity was used to cleanse it, most of its divine power was washed away, forcibly making it pure.
This move was extremely insidious; Ye Kang secretly released his Immaculate Immortal Soul, and no one reacted in time.
Of course, the purity that was washed away was also absorbed by the immortal soul, and it is now in a weak state, so it will probably take some time to recover.
After all, Ye Kang's Immaculate Soul Split was only at the entry level. If he cultivated it to perfection, its capacity to bear the weight would increase further. After reaching the Great Perfection, it would be able to refine the enemy in an instant.
However, that was enough. Su Zhongjing seized the best opportunity and successfully killed the Eagle King.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Soaring Eagle]
[Task Reward: 8000000 Comprehension Points]
The system announced that the previously issued task was completed, and Ye Kang directly gained eight million comprehension points. Combined with the previous ones, his remaining comprehension points reached thirteen million.
Ye Kang was overjoyed. This was a small windfall. If he could find more Qi of heaven and earth in the future, he could refine it directly.
Just then, an old voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Su Zhongjing expresses his gratitude!"
Ye Kang turned his head and saw Su Zhongjing bowing deeply to him, his eyes full of relief.
Ye Kang quickly went over to help him up, saying, "No need for thanks."
"Ye Kang, you have once again exceeded my expectations."
Surprisingly, Su Zhongjing smiled slightly and immediately identified Ye Kang's identity.
Ye Kang was instantly startled. What was going on? His disguise should have been incredibly impressive, right?
Su Zhongjing laughed and said, "Don't be surprised. I am very familiar with the moves you used, especially your physical strength. No one else has this style except you. I just didn't expect that you would break through to the Yang Chu stage in such a short time. You are truly a genius who has never been seen before."
"General, I can't reveal my identity now..."
"It's alright. If I don't say anything, no one will know your identity. Thank you for helping me fulfill my long-held wish."
"General, you are too kind. This is what I should do. You have been kind to me in training me, how could I not repay you? Besides, it was your divine weapon that truly killed the Eagle King, not me."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongjing shook his head and then said, "I know you like to collect the corpses of demons, but I cannot give you Ying Aofeng's corpse. I need to hand it over to King Wei. However, you can do whatever you want with his sister's corpse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang was immediately overjoyed. The Eagle Queen's sister was fine too. Anyway, their race and bloodline were the same, and she could open another page in his Immortal Demon Record. Either way, it was a win.
Ye Kang immediately waved his hand, remotely capturing the corpse and remnant soul of the Eagle King's sister.
At this moment, Su Hongxiu and Su Wuxiang also flew up, and both of them helped Su Zhongjing up, their eyes filled with heartache.
"Father, what kind of move is that? Why have you aged so much?"
"Yes, Father, I'm young, you should let me do it!" Su Wuxiang cried out.
Su Zhongjing glared at him and said, "If your strength is insufficient, sacrificing more of your lifespan is useless. You don't need to feel sorry for me. As long as you can kill Ying Aofeng and avenge your mother, it will all be worth it."
Su Zhongjing's eyes were filled with calmness and magnanimity.
Su Hongxiu asked cautiously, "Father, how much lifespan do you have left?"
Su Zhongjing thought for a moment and said, "Who knows? Maybe a year, maybe two years, or maybe a month."
"What! I'll go get you the longevity-extending herb right now!"
Su Hongxiu gritted her teeth and immediately flew away.
Su Zhongjing did not stop him, but gave a wry smile, and then looked at Ye Kang: "Between you and me, it was originally a mutually beneficial relationship. I thought that there would be no more cause and effect, and I would not need to contact you, so I did not notify you. But who knew that things would turn out so unpredictably, and in the end I still had to rely on you. It is a pity that I am nearing the end of my life and there is nothing left for me to do to help you. Take this thing, it is useless to me."
As he spoke, Su Zhongjing flipped his right hand, and a bladeless, handleless throwing knife appeared in his palm.
It was that terrifyingly powerful Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.
Ye Kang was immediately shocked: "General, this is a treasure, how dare I covet it!"
Su Zhongjing shook his head: "It's not that I'm greedy, but do you think I have the lifespan to use it again?"
"This……"
“Using this item once consumes a massive amount of lifespan. I also advise you not to use it unless you are in a life-or-death situation. You never know whether you will be killed by an enemy or have your lifespan drained by it. I obtained this item by chance when I was young and have studied it for a long time. I have made some progress and it is all recorded in this jade slip. If you are interested, you can take it with you.”
After he finished speaking, another jade slip appeared.
Before Ye Kang could reply, Su Zhongjing forcefully shoved the item into Ye Kang's hand.
He then said, "Go back. This isn't your post. Leaving for too long without permission will cause a lot of trouble."
"Thank you, General!"
Ye Kang didn't say much, but bowed with his hands clasped and then disappeared from the spot.
Only then did Su Wuxiang cautiously ask, "Father, who is this senior?"
"Can't say."
"So it was Senior Bu! What a righteous person!"
"..."
Su Zhongjing glanced at Su Wuxiang, resisting the urge to punch his foolish son, before flying down to clean up the mess.
Although his lifespan is running out, there are still many things waiting for him to do during this time.
……
On the way back to Luoyanzhou.
As Ye Kang flew, he digested the gains of this trip.
First, there was the corpse of a demon saint in the True Realm.
The corpse was thrown directly into the demon furnace, and all the materials used to make it were top-grade spiritual materials.
A wisp of remnant soul entered the Immortal Demon Record and transformed into a brand new page.
As Ye Kang turned to this page, countless physical forces flowed back, pushing his body tempering cultivation forward once again.
The Eagle King's racial information was also revealed. Ye Kang glanced at it casually and then ignored it.
The bloodline of the Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom sounds impressive, but the Demon Kingdom itself has long since disappeared, so it's not important.
Ye Kang turned to look at the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in his hand. Su Zhongjing had already removed the mark from it, so it was now an unclaimed treasure.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining a fragment of an innate spiritual treasure: the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife]
【Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife: A top-tier innate spiritual treasure wielded by powerful beings in ancient times. Its shape is a flaming gourd, containing seven flying knives. By calling out "Please turn around, treasure," one can activate the flying knives to traverse space and annihilate the soul of an enemy. With this treasure, one can slay even those who have reached the Dao Integration stage.】
[Note: The weapon you are holding is a fragment of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, with less than one percent of its divine power. If you can obtain more fragments, you can give them to the Divine Martial Furnace to reforge it.]
"Holy crap! This is a treasure capable of slaying even a Dao-merging expert!"
Ye Kang's lips went dry. Without hesitation, he refined it and then threw it into the Ink Jade Realm.
Only then did he take out the jade slip given to him by Su Zhongjing, which contained some information about the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and Su Zhongjing's own insights.
Ye Kang's expression was complicated after reading it.
"It seems that collecting the other fragments will be harder than climbing to the heavens..."
