The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The Demonic Qi saturated the endless soil, instantly forming a titanic monster that resembled a Giant Spirit God.

Neither the lightning nor the Fire Lotus could break through the monster’s defense.

The moment this move was used, Liu Ling instantly recognized the identity of the Demon Race member.

”Chen Dong, he’s the Brown Earth Celestial King, one of the thirty-six Celestial Kings of the Demon Race!”

Having already suspected it, Chen Dong wasn’t surprised. This situation was within his expectations. He let out a low shout, ”Heaven-Covering Wood Array!”

In an instant, giant vines burst from the ground like beasts tearing through the earth. The Brown Earth Celestial King’s laughter hadn’t even stopped before he was tightly bound by the massive vines.

”What the hell is this? Just how many Arrays have you set up?”

’This must be a premeditated Killing Array set up just for me. This Demon Cultivator must have a huge organization behind him. The Demon Race alone couldn’t possibly have this many Tier Four Killing Arrays, all set up in advance, just waiting to lure me in.’ At this thought, he wanted to retreat!

However, Chen Dong wouldn’t let him have his way. The first Array he had activated was the Sealing Array, precisely because he was afraid the man would flee.

The Giant Spirit God formed from brown earth struggled to retreat. It had only taken one step back when he felt an invisible wall. ’This is the Sealing Array!’ He hastily tried to send a voice transmission to his companions—a Sealing Array was always easier to break from the outside than from within—but he discovered the transmission couldn’t get through at all.

Chen Dong’s eyes narrowed. ’The Heaven-Covering Wood Array alone isn’t enough to kill this member of the Demon Race. It can only trap him.’

So, Chen Dong said lightly, ”Qingzhu, I’ll leave it to you!”

The Fire and Thunder Technique that Chen Dong cultivated were ill-suited to damaging earth-based opponents, and his own Sword Technique was crude. For Mu Qingzhu, however, an Earth Cultivator was the easiest type of opponent to deal with.

Chen Dong closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were brighter and more heroic than his usual deep and brooding gaze.

A Sword Technique was executed, and a Spirit Sword flew out from his ring. It was white, slender, and long, as if carved from jade, somewhat similar to the White Feather Flying Sword. But this Spirit Sword was clearly sharper. Sensing Mu Qingzhu’s spirit once more, the Spirit Sword let out a long, humming buzz.

This Spirit Sword was named Jade Inscription. It was Mu Qingzhu’s original Spirit Sword, a Tier Four Top-Grade weapon. For a Sword Cultivator, it was sufficient to use all the way to the Divinity Transformation Stage and was also a fine choice for refining into a Lifebound Spirit Sword. Mu Qingzhu and Chen Dong had an agreement beforehand: he could use any of her things, but this Spirit Sword was off-limits.

For her, its quality was a minor detail; this Spirit Sword held a special meaning.

Able to fight alongside Mu Qingzhu again, Jade Inscription seemed extremely excited.

The body was still Chen Dong’s, but with a change in the hand seal for the Sword Technique, Jade Inscription multiplied into millions of copies, filling the entire sky with sword phantoms. Thanks to an epiphany gained from the ’Mysterious Qi,’ Mu Qingzhu’s understanding of the Daoist Scripture of Void Forgetfulness, a scripture encompassed by the Yuqing Immortal Technique, now surpassed even Li Zhixuan’s.

Void Sword Intent. The void is endless!

Chen Dong’s gaze turned cold. The sky full of sword phantoms poured down like a torrential rain. The SWISH of the Spirit Swords tearing through the air completely drowned out the continuous crackle of thunder.

Chen Dong had also cultivated up from the Outer Appearance stage, and Mu Qingzhu possessed the skill of Great Divination. The weaknesses of the Brown Earth Giant Demon were crystal clear to the two of them.

After a bout of Sword Rain, the massive Brown Earth Giant Demon was left with only a bare torso.

Facing another wave of Sword Rain, the Brown Earth Celestial King hidden inside the giant demon had a savage expression. As if having completely lost his mind, he continued to laugh maniacally.

”You can’t kill me~! HAHAHAHA~!! You ants are looking for death~!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!...”

His Demonic Qi was constantly expanding, endlessly surging from his demonic body.

Liu Ling sent a voice transmission from his chest, ”Be careful! His Divine Sense has been consumed. He’s about to go berserk!”

The words had barely fallen when—BOOM! With a tremendous explosion, the torso of the Brown Earth Giant Demon burst apart. Dark Demonic Qi swirled around the Brown Earth Celestial King as he floated in the air, the pressure around him so intense it warped space itself.

”KILL! KILL! KILL KILL KILL...”

Not a hint of emotion could be seen in his scarlet eyes.

Chen Dong’s consciousness asked, ’What’s going on? This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered the Demon Race, so why is this happening? He seems so much stronger than before.’

Liu Ling explained, ”This is a berserk phenomenon unique to Demon Race members at the Nascent Soul Stage. All of their Divine Sense is consumed by Demonic Qi, turning them into monsters that know only slaughter. Only those at the Nascent Soul Stage can withstand this kind of Demonic Qi enhancement. The Demon Race usually vent their desires to suppress the consumption by Demonic Qi. However, you interrupted his venting today, and he then repeatedly used his Demonic Qi. It’s not surprising he was consumed by it!”

The berserk Brown Earth Celestial King had already sensed Chen Dong’s presence. In a flash, he appeared directly in front of Chen Dong and thrust out a claw.

Countless sword phantoms formed a Sword Shield to block the claw, but it was shattered in a single strike. Chen Dong’s body was sent flying, slamming heavily against the invisible wall of the Sealing Array.

Mu Qingzhu said helplessly, ”In this state, we’re no match for him. And Liu Ling can’t intervene. Let’s retreat!”

Chen Dong immediately rejected the idea. ”We can’t! There are tens of millions of lives in Immortal Fox City behind us! If we retreat... Besides, we’re the reason this Demon Race member went berserk. We have to kill him, even if it costs us half our life!”

Mu Qingzhu gritted her teeth. ”Got it!”

The berserk Brown Earth Celestial King flashed before them again, swiping a ferocious claw at Chen Dong’s body as if to tear him to shreds.

In that instant, thousands upon thousands of sword phantoms reappeared. Chen Dong’s body was now being controlled by both Mu Qingzhu and Chen Dong simultaneously.

”Void Sword Technique—Myriad Swords to Dust!”

”Saint Dao—Domain!”
