Chapter 135: Battle Ends

*ROAR—!!! *

A dragon's roar sounded from within the surging demon Qi, carrying a wild arrogance that destroyed everything!

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master opened his eyes, black light flickering on the sword blade, as if countless horrific human faces had emerged.

Gazing at the surging dragon-shaped demon Qi, his momentum reached its peak, and the power in his body operated to the limit.

*Hum~~* Amidst the subtle tremors, a black light emerged, cutting through space and descending.

The black light collided with the demon dragon, releasing a dazzling white light. Wherever it passed, everything was vaporized into particles.

After lasting for half a breath, the white light suddenly tightened and then disappeared.

In mid-air, the Golden Jade Pavilion Master stood holding the sword, his heart pierced, and his entire right arm shattered into blood mist.

His eyes carried amazement, seemingly not having expected that Qin Jiang could actually fight him to this extent.

Divine Martial Ninth Layer, except for the final absolutely invincible True God Ninth Layer, the combat power gap between each rank of the first eight layers was extremely large.

Even His Highness the Huai Wang of that year only fought across three ranks.

And this one before him, a Secret Martial Artist in a small county city, not only had the power to contend with a Divine Martial Artist.

But was even able to cross four ranks directly, dragging his avatar to perish together; he was truly unprecedented.

On the ground, Qin Jiang knelt on one knee, a touch of admiration appearing in his eyes.

Is this the power of a true Divine Martial Artist? Truly powerful!

Even if he struck with all his might, it was still difficult to resist.

*Ssh! *

The sound of blood spraying sounded, and a hideous crack tore from his left shoulder all the way to his waist and abdomen.

Shattered along with it was his heart, which had stopped beating.

"Husband!"

Xu Yanran screamed miserably, her eyes filled with disbelief. Without any hesitation, she ran wildly toward where Qin Jiang was.

Qin Hong fell powerlessly to the ground, her eyes filled with gray ash.

No... no, this is impossible... impossible... On the city wall, Long Daosheng looked back, a black prism piercing his abdomen. He retreated rapidly, the fighting intent in his eyes dissipating.

Did he lose after all?

*Roar~* A rough low roar sounded, passing through all of Ning'an like ripples.

Qin Jiang opened his eyes slightly, one gold and one black, like Yin and Yang in opposition.

*Cough, cough! *

He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, which turned into a blood line before it even hit the ground, piercing the flesh at the wound and forcibly pulling it together.

Flesh and blood grew under the effect of powerful vitality, and immediately after, it was shredded by the attached Black Death sword Qi, but it was still stubbornly repairing itself.

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master's eyes flickered. "Truly admirable willpower. However, this is the end."

Although both he and Qin Jiang had reached the point of exhaustion, he could still launch a final strike by relying on his Eighth-Rank Divine Martial realm.

His left arm lifted slightly, and the Black Death Sword fell into his palm.

A touch of anxiety appeared in Qin Jiang's eyes. Looking at the rushing Xu Yanran, he wanted to take action to stop her, but he had no power left.

*Bang! * Suddenly, a string of blood flowers burst from the Golden Jade Pavilion Master's body, and then his figure shrank rapidly, releasing thick black Qi.

Qin Jiang's eyes lifted slightly. That is... the demon Qi he had left in the Golden Jade Pavilion Master's body.

But... Suddenly, his gaze fell on Liu Xiangyi, who was struggling to lift his upper body to the side.

At this moment, Liu Xiangyi's entire lower body had been completely turned into powder in the previous confrontation, with only a small half of his upper body remaining.

But at this moment, there was no pain in his eyes, only infinite madness.

"Hehehehahahaha!!!"

He laughed crazily, the resentment in his eyes almost gushing out.

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master looked at him, scanned himself, and a touch of realization appeared. "So that's it, it's actually poison. You had already buried a means in this body."

Normally, such a small trick wouldn't affect him at all. But now that this body was exhausted, coupled with the demon Qi left by Qin Jiang as a guide, it could have such a miraculous effect.

"Truly didn't expect to fall into your hands. I will personally send your relatives and friends in the Huai Kingdom on their way."

Liu Xiangyi's eyes were crazy, not caring about the Golden Jade Pavilion Master's words at all.

The idiots of the Golden Jade Pavilion had only caught the body double he had deliberately released.

His son had never left Ning'an City at all!

As for those relatives and friends in the Huai Kingdom?

*Heh*, having enjoyed so much through him, it was time for them to pay the price! "When it's time to die, die. Since I came to the Xia Kingdom that year, Liu Xiangyi has already died."

With that, he fell to the ground and died.

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master's gaze was calm, looking at Qin Jiang, a touch of regret appearing in his eyes.

"Truly a pity, I cannot kill you here. However, my Huai Kingdom army will set off in a few days. At that time, I will send Lord Qin on his way in the Prefecture City of Yuan Prefecture in my peak state."

With that, he no longer resisted the demon fire, and his body was instantly swallowed by the demon fire. A breeze blew, and he dissipated into a wisp of black ash.

Qin Jiang looked at the dissipating Golden Jade Pavilion Master, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

His figure gradually shrank, returning to normal size, but the sword Qi remaining on the hideous wound on his chest still made him feel pain every moment.

*Whoosh—! * A gust of wind blew, and Xu Yanran arrived before him, throwing herself into his arms. Only after hearing that faint heartbeat did she cry silently.

Almost... almost... she was about to lose him.

Qin Jiang smiled and patted Xu Yanran's shoulder gently. "It's fine, it will recover in a few days."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he had deduced the Imperial Court Shanghua True Canon before; otherwise, this time, he probably would have really died.

Divine Martial Artist, the gap between each layer is truly a chasm.

Looking at the white phoenix and jade-colored lion above Ning'an City, he controlled the Golden Light Subduing Demon Bell and the Green Fire Copper Furnace to bombard them.

Before, just using a sliver of attention to control them was enough to hold them back; now, it was naturally absolute suppression.

In just a few breaths, the white phoenix and jade-colored lion fled toward the outside of the city.

An avatar is also extremely precious to a Divine Martial Artist.

On the city wall, Wang Zizai looked at the distant white phoenix, a touch of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

Was it just being used after all? "Great Elder! This old man has come to help you!"

"And me!"

"The West City is pacified! This old man is here!"

Following roars, figures diffusing golden light landed on the city wall and rushed directly toward Wang Zizai, fighting into a ball.

"Wang Zizai! The Golden Jade Pavilion's defeat is set, do you still want to resist!" Ren Chuan shouted.

Ren Chuan walked quickly to Long Daosheng's side and took out a Golden Pill to feed him. Long Daosheng's injuries gradually repaired, and his aura became stable.

"Great Elder has worked hard, leave the rest to us."

Long Daosheng nodded slightly. "Be careful, Wang Zizai's strength is extremely formidable, having already reached the end of the Martial Fate level."

"Don't worry, we will swarm him together; even if he is at the end of Martial Fate, he will not escape death!"

With that, Ren Chuan rushed out directly and joined the battle.

A moment later, at the edge of the city wall, Wang Zizai held the black prism, looking down on everyone.

He shook his head slightly. "Pity, the final moments are actually spent in your company; truly boring."

Casually throwing the prism down, he turned around and looked into the distance, sitting cross-legged on the city wall.

The next moment, his head drooped, and there was no more sound.
