Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Half an hour later, on the Green Cloud Peak.
Qi Ming had already arrived. He raised his head slightly and saw a huge peak that reached into the clouds. He could not see the top of the mountain at a glance. Halfway up the mountain, there was a hazy fog lingering, like a paradise.
He then followed the stairway and entered the Green Cloud Peak. With Qi Ming’s status as a legacy disciple, other than a few special places and forbidden areas, he could basically go anywhere in the entire Green Cloud Peak and no one dared to stop him.
Not long after, Qi Ming passed by the Green Cloud Peak’s servant quarters and arrived at the outer sect of the Green Cloud Peak. He walked towards the place that he had heard about beforehand. After passing through a few mountain paths, he stood in front of an independent courtyard.
“You really came.”
At this moment, the door to the courtyard opened.
Cao Jinxiu walked out from inside. He wore the uniform of an outer sect disciple and was expressionless. His gaze looked straight at Qi Ming, and his expression was without any fluctuation.
“Cao Jinxiu.” Qi Ming said.
Cao Jinxiu took a deep breath and asked, “Legacy Disciple Qi! My brother, Yun Hai, died in your hands, right?”
“Why are you so overbearing?”
Cao Jinxiu shouted, “Why? Why?!”
Qi Ming did not speak.
“Legacy Disciple Qi!”
Cao Jinxiu’s eyes turned slightly red, “You have outstanding talent. You are patient and tenacious. You are valued by Elder Feng. You will definitely be outstanding in the future.”
“So why?!”
“With your status and talent, in the future, you will definitely become an incredible legend rising high into the sky. As for us, my younger brother, Yunhai, and I are only insignificant passersby in your long cultivation journey.”
“We can’t threaten you in the future.”
“We can only look up at your back with reverence.”
“Against people like us, why are you still so ruthless? Can’t you let us live? You even took advantage of that night a few days ago to disguise yourself as a demon cultivator and kill my younger brother. Why can’t you let us go? Why!!!”
Cao Jinxiu’s voice slowly turned from soft to low growl.
“Are you done?” Qi Ming’s gaze was calm as he said indifferently, “If you’re done, you can go on your way.”
“Hahaha…”
Cao Jinxiu laughed crazily, his expression a little twisted. “Although I don’t have any evidence, I know that my younger brother, Yunhai, was not killed by a demon cultivator. The only enemy is you, Legacy Disciple Qi.”
“So. I issued a bounty mission just to confuse people.”
“My true goal is to kill you.”
“You forced me to do this.”
Buzz! Buzz!
Thus…
Black demon energy appeared around Cao Jinxiu. He triggered the demon seed in his body and black demonic runes appeared. They were like black lotuses as they gradually spread throughout his body.
On his face, an extremely sinister flower pattern appeared.
Moreover…
His aura rose at a visible speed. In an extremely short period of time, he went from the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. He was extremely powerful.
“Ah!!!”
Cao Jinxiu roared into the sky. He was immersed in this powerful force. His face was filled with enjoyment as he slowly opened his hands to feel everything.
“Is this the power of the Black Lotus Demon Seed?”
Cao Jinxiu sighed, “Is this the power of being demonized? This feeling… is simply too wonderful. It’s simply too mesmerizing.”
“I was too stupid.”
“I should have agreed to it earlier. Why did I only realize it now?”
Clearly, Cao Jinxiu had been invited by the Demon Sect previously, but he had never agreed. It was not until Cao Yunhai was killed that Cao Jinxiu completely fell into the demonic path and contacted the Demon Sect to obtain the Black Lotus Demon Seed.
Moreover, he had already fused with the Black Lotus Demon Seed and stimulated this power. However, after stimulating this power, it would cause irreversible damage to Cao Jinxiu.
However, it was all worth it.
As long as he could kill Qi Ming, it would be worth it.
“I really want to see it.”
Cao Jinxiu smiled as if victory was in his grasp. He was so confident, “In a while, I’ll see you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy.”
“I also want to see Elder Feng witnessing the scene of his new legacy disciple dying on the Green Cloud Peak.”
“That would be wonderful.”
Cao Jinxiu said, “Legacy Disciple Qi, I know you have an early-stage Foundation Establishment spirit pet. Since you dare to come here, you must have the confidence to kill me.”
“Unfortunately, I’ve guessed everything.”
“Now, I’ve already stimulated the Black Lotus Demon Seed and forcefully raised my cultivation to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. What else can you do to resist me? You’ll definitely die.”
“Die!”
Swish!
Cao Jinxiu attacked. He pointed a finger and a pitch-black light gathered, turning into a sharp finger light that pierced towards Qi Ming’s head.
Clang!
The Greater Bat Demon appeared.
Waves of energy surged around his body, and the power of the sound wave solidified, blocking Cao Jinxiu’s sharp light. He stared at it with a sharp gaze.
“Black Lotus Karmic Fire.”
Buzz! Buzz!
Cao Jinxiu’s pupils constricted slightly. He sensed danger from the Greater Bat Demon, so he did not hesitate and directly used his strongest technique.
His hands formed seals as spell techniques appeared. They gathered in front of him and transformed into a Ninth Grade Black Lotus that burned with pitch-black flames.
“Attack!”
Boom!
He pushed his hands forward.
Cao Jinxiu roared as the Black Lotus Karmic Fire soared through the sky and attacked Qi Ming like a bolt of lightning. Wherever the lotus passed, the air distorted.
Qi Ming’s gaze was calm. He did not panic or fear when facing Cao Jinxiu’s Black Lotus Karmic Fire. Instead, he was very calm. In his heart, he had already ordered the Bat Demon to cast the innate spell, Sound Blade Storm.
Thus, the Greater Bat Demon soared into the sky.
The next moment, its body, which was originally only the size of a palm, swelled up with the wind and transformed into a huge demon bat that was nine meters long with its wings spread open. Its entire body was pitch-black and looked extremely hideous.
Moreover, the power around it gathered.
The wings flapped.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In an instant, all the power gathered and evolved into a powerful ultrasonic wave with immense strength, turning into the shape of a blade.
Sound Blade Storm!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The Greater Bat Demon’s wings flapped forward, shaking everything. The air seemed to be cut as the invisible sound blades transformed into a small tornado that attacked.
In an instant, the sound blade storm and the black lotus flames collided.
The two sides faced each other.
It was a true battle of strength.
Cao Jinxiu’s pupils constricted. He could sense the power of the Sound Blade Storm and the Bat Demon’s cultivation level. He could not help but exclaim, “Late-stage Foundation Establishment! This is a late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit pet!!”
Rumble!!!
A huge explosion sounded.
The Black Lotus Karmic Fire was completely torn apart by the Sonic Blade Storm. The scattered flames dissipated like sparks, and the remaining power of the Sound Blade Storm blasted Cao Jinxiu.
“Ah!!!”
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Cao Jinxiu’s miserable cry was like a thousand cuts. His entire body was covered in dense wounds that were covered in blood and extremely miserable.
Then, Cao Jinxiu fell to the ground.
“Why?! Why?!”
Cao Jinxiu muttered as he constantly coughed out blood. He was filled with unwillingness, but he was already at his dying breath. The anger in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Pew!!!
Qi Ming slashed out again. The Green Cloud Sword Technique transformed into a green sword qi that pierced through the air and completely crushed Cao Jinxiu’s vitality.
However, at this moment, a change occurred in Cao Jinxiu’s corpse.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!
Black Lotus Demon Runes surged, and a Ninth Grade Black Lotus appeared out of thin air on his corpse, sucking it dry and turning it into ashes.
Swish!
The black lotus transformed into a black stream of light that tore through the sky.
