Chapter 356: The Origin of Demon Cultivator, Dark Night Demon General

Boom!

Lu Qing’s current power was truly formidable.

Forget just a few puppet servants who had taken shortcuts and forcibly boosted their strength.

Even a true Xiantian realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand his punch.

Therefore, Lu Qing’s single punch didn’t even directly impact the four figures.

The terrifying wind from his fist alone sent the four figures he had pinned flying backward, vomiting blood.

They hit the ground, their bones shattered, nearly completely broken.

“Ah!”

The black runes on the four figures surged and trembled, as if threatening to burst through their skin.

The next moment, their auras suddenly gathered again, and they showed signs of rising again.

“Huh?”

Lu Qing was surprised by this.

Although he hadn’t used much force in that punch, it was clearly more than the men before him could withstand.

Yet, they were merely severely injured. Far from being killed by his single blow, they even showed signs of rising and fighting again.

This bizarre situation defied common sense.

“Interesting.”

Lu Qing immediately discerned that the black runes on the men’s bodies were responsible for this bizarre, unnatural phenomenon.

He flicked his fingers, and a yellow light flashed around him. The emanating earth’s magnetic force once again pinned the men to the ground, immobilizing them.

He activated his supernatural powers and focused his gaze.

Soon, several notes emerged from the men’s bodies.

[Liu Jing: Disciple of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion in Jeju.]

[Cultivation: Acquired Internal Organs Realm.]

[Controlled by a mysterious demonic cultivator through mystical techniques, they’ve lost their minds and become obedient demonic servants, draining their vitality in exchange for innate strength.]

…

“So they’re being controlled?”

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised by the messages emerging from the men’s bodies.

Instead, their identities made him realize it was the mysterious demonic cultivator who had destroyed the Qingyun Sword Pavilion months ago.

“Roar!”

Even suppressed by Lu Qing’s earth’s magnetic force, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples remained restless.

The black runes on their bodies swirled rapidly, continuously draining their life force. Unleashing a powerful aura, they attempted to struggle.

“Just stay still for a while,”

Lu Qing said calmly.

With a flick of his mind, the magnetic force of the earth’s veins surged, instantly pinning the four Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples to the ground once again.

Having done this, Lu Qing looked toward the provincial capital.

While he was interested in studying the black runes on these individuals,

now was clearly not the time for that.

He sensed that the demonic formation ahead had reactivated. If the situation dragged on, the city’s inhabitants would likely collapse.

Immediately, Lu Qing ignored the four restrained Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples and drew his bow once more.

He unleashed the [Starfall] technique, unleashing three arrows simultaneously, sending them hurtling diagonally into the sky at breakneck speed.

Three muffled thuds echoed from the city, and three formation nodes were once again broken.

This time, the black formation curtain enveloping the provincial capital also shifted.

With a slight tremor, the once dense black light dimmed.

Several Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples pinned to the ground watched with shock.

They finally understood how the key points of the Demon Lord’s formation had been destroyed.

It had been this young man before them, using his bow and arrows to pierce them! After

firing three arrows, Lu Qing, unwavering, drew three more magic arrows and unleashed another three.

“Damn it!”

As the three arrows fell, three key points were broken. The figure

with disheveled hair watched as the blood mist surrounding the black bone sword dissipated by another third, unable to bear it any longer.

Nearly one-third of the thirty-six formation nodes he had set had been destroyed.

If the destruction continued at this rate, once more than half had been destroyed,

this simple Ten Directions Blood-Dissolving Soul-Refining Formation would collapse.

“Those losers couldn’t even stop us for a moment! I want to see which scoundrel dared to ruin my plans!”

The figure with disheveled hair knew that if the man outside continued to destroy them, the formation would soon be broken.

Then, all his efforts would be in vain.

This formation had already consumed nearly all the resources he had plundered from the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

If the formation was broken, he wouldn’t have the resources to set it up again.

A figure with disheveled hair and a cold look in his eyes suddenly disappeared from his original position. Empowered by the power of the formation, he soared into the air and flew out of the city.

“What’s that?”

In the city, the mayor and his men, who were banding together to fight off the black snake, had been keeping an eye on the black light curtain overhead.

Seeing the disheveled figure

soar into the sky, they were shocked. How could someone in this world be able to control the wind and fly into the sky?

Even those at the Xiantian realm couldn’t fly!

“My Lord City Lord, that man is the evil cultivator who besieged the mayor!”

Wei Xinghe looked up and immediately shouted, “Since he’s appeared, he must be the master who broke the formation and is working to break it!”

If we just hold on a little longer, maybe we can wait until the moment when the formation is broken!”

The mayor of the provincial capital and others were shocked when they heard this.

Yes, they did feel that the black light curtain in the sky had become a little dimmer.

Even the power of the descending black energy snake had weakened a bit.

So Wei Xinghe was indeed not lying to them, there were indeed masters outside who were trying to find a way to break the formation and rescue them!

Realizing this, the spirits of the group of innate realm masters were greatly boosted, and the determination to kill the black energy snake was also much higher.

“The Demon Lord has left the city?

In the shadows of another street, Wei Zihao also saw the disheveled figure heading toward the city gate and was startled.

He observed and sensed the aura emanating from the prefectural governor and the others, realizing he could no longer capture his father on his own. He

immediately abandoned the entanglement and headed towards the city gate as well.

The disheveled figure flew away

, soon reaching the top of the city gate and sensing the location of the demon servants.

However, this sensing startled him,

as the demon servants were actually more than a mile away.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing sensed something the moment the disheveled figure appeared atop the city gate.

He looked up and saw the black-robed figure standing atop the city gate, emitting an unparalleled demonic aura.

He raised an eyebrow, “It’s you, indeed.”

“It’s you?!”

Unlike Lu Qing’s calmness, the figure with disheveled hair was shocked when he saw Lu Qing, and his eyes suddenly widened.

“Yes, it’s me, the evil cultivator. In the Holy City, my sword failed to kill you, and you escaped. I didn’t expect you to come here to harm everyone.”

Lu Qing looked at the figure with disheveled hair and immediately activated his supernatural power.

When he was in the Holy City, he tried several times to find out the other party’s information, but failed because of the short time.

This time, he wanted to see what the background of this evil cultivator was.

“Boy, I didn’t expect it to be you. It’s really a narrow road for enemies. I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

The figure with disheveled hair never expected to meet Lu Qing here.

After the surprise, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

“After that day in the Holy City, I swore that even if I had to search the farthest corners of the earth, I would find you, peel your skin and bones, and refine your soul to avenge that blow. I never expected you to appear before me so soon!”

Recalling the losses in the Holy City, the disheveled figure’s heart still bled.

If Lu Qing hadn’t taken those strands of the world’s origin energy, he would have long since forged a demonic body and ravaged the world.

Why would he be like this now, cowering timidly in this remote place, slowly plotting his plans?

Thinking of this, the disheveled figure’s murderous intent surged from the depths of his heart, wishing to capture him immediately and torture him to death.

However, his rationality remained.

He knew that Lu Qing was no ordinary person.

As the first person to transcend the tribulation since the changes in the laws of this world and the resurgence of spiritual energy,

Lu Qing was clearly a monstrous genius favored by the destiny of this world.

Such a monstrous genius could not be judged by common sense.

Several months had passed since the battle in the Holy City. Who knew how far this kid’s cultivation had advanced?

So, despite the murderous intent boiling within him, the disheveled figure suppressed it and didn’t rush out of the city.

“Pulling out tendons and bones, refining my spirit? Do you have the qualifications, you devil? Have you forgotten who it was that day, fleeing from my sword like a rat?”

Lu Qing sarcastically spoke, but inwardly he was somewhat astonished.

He had been staring at the figure on the city wall with his supernatural powers for over ten breaths, yet he still hadn’t been able to detect any information about the other party.

You know, at his current level of cultivation, even ten breaths would be enough to detect information about a spiritual weapon.

What kind of background did the other party have that it took even longer to detect information about the spiritual weapon?

“Boy, what did you say?!”

The disheveled figure flew into a rage upon hearing Lu Qing’s words.

He had lived for countless years, yet to be called a demon cub by a young native boy—how could this arrogant and conceited man endure this?

“Am I wrong, demon cub? Back then, you didn’t even have the courage to fight me head-on. You only dared to hide in the shadows like a rat, watching from the shadows.

And you, you dare to seek revenge on me? Have you ruined your brain with all that magic?”

Lu Qing continued to taunt, stalling for time to gather information.

“Ah! How dare you insult me, brat!”

Repeatedly mocked by Lu Qing, the disheveled figure was driven mad with rage.

Yet, he was extremely wary of Lu Qing and dared not leave the city to engage him.

Without the support of the formation, he wasn’t sure he could defeat Lu Qing.

And at that moment, Lu Qing finally saw several notes slowly floating out from the disheveled figure.

Li An: A disciple of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, one of the 108 demon generals under the command of the Black Sky Demon Lord of the Tianyuan Great World, and the reincarnation of the Dark Night Demon Lord.

Cultivation: Great Accomplishment of the Xiantian Realm.

Formerly a subordinate of the Black Sky Demon Lord of the Xiantian Great World, he was pursued by the righteous and fled into the starry sky. Ultimately, his injuries were too severe to recover, forcing him to resort to reincarnation and be reborn in this small mountain realm. A demon general’s cultivation is comparable to the mighty Yuan Shen of a Qi Refining Daoist. Their Yuan Ling is indestructible   .

After reincarnation, they have a chance of unlocking the mysteries of their womb and awakening past and present lives.   When Lu Qing read the message floating from the disheveled figure, he was shocked.   He hadn’t expected the demon cultivator before him to have such a prominent background.   He wasn’t a being of this world, but rather hailed from the Tianyuan Great World.   Furthermore, he was the reincarnation of a demon general under the command of the Black Sky Demon Lord.   No wonder it took him so long to find out his whereabouts.   On the city wall, the figure with disheveled hair felt Lu Qing’s gaze and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.   He had a feeling that Lu Qing’s gaze was very strange, as if it could see through all his secrets, which made him feel cold.   This sudden chill, on the contrary, made the disheveled figure’s anger subside, and his mind began to clear up.   Alarm bells were ringing in his heart.   Although he didn’t know why he had such a premonition.   But he knew that there was definitely something fishy.   ”Why, you devil, you keep saying that you want to seek revenge on me, but now you dare to hide in the formation and dare not come out?”   After finding out the other party’s whereabouts, Lu Qing’s heart was completely relieved.   Although the other party’s background was shocking, his current cultivation level was only the great success of the innate realm.   At the same realm, no matter how shocking the other party’s background was, he was no less than him.   ”Boy, don’t be complacent. You are just relying on your good luck to be so arrogant.

But I tell you, from ancient times to the present, anyone who has been blessed with good luck will not have a good ending in the end.

You can be proud now, but when you are entangled in karma and unable to get rid of it, you will regret it!”

After sensing the warning from the dark, the figure with disheveled hair calmed down completely.

He was more determined in his heart that unless Lu Qing attacked the formation, he would never take the initiative to attack.

He also said half-truths and half-lies in his mouth, trying to shake Lu Qing’s mind.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Lu Qing’s eyes condensed slightly.

“Haha, are you scared now?”

The figure with disheveled hair laughed at this: “You natives, frogs in the well, rely on a little good luck and really think you are invincible.

Boy, I have seen many people like you. Just wait, the more proud you are now, the more miserable you will be in the future.

One day, you will be unable to live or die! “Hahahaha.”

Looking at the disheveled figure laughing wildly, Lu Qing calmed down instead.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“Demon cub, you dare to call yourself the deity? Guess what your master, the Black Sky Demon Lord, would react if he knew?”

“What did you say?!”

Hearing this, the disheveled figure’s body trembled violently, and a light of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The biggest secret in his heart was suddenly revealed by Lu Qing, causing his mind to shake violently.

At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly bent his bow and arrow, his mind urging him at high speed. In less than three breaths, he absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 100 meters, converging it on the magic arrow. Then, he

loosened his fingers, and a stream of light flew towards the city gate at unimaginable speed.
