Chapter 163: Huai King

As the words fell, the battle halberd bloomed with dark blue light, accompanied by the surging of pale white airflow.

The moment Fushan was illuminated by the dark blue light, a chill surged into his mind, as if countless battle souls were tearing at his nerves.

Swish! The dark blue light fell, drawing a semicircular afterimage, and Fushan's head immediately tilted, falling into the Mo Sea.

A massive amount of blood Qi floated away like corroded smoke. Fushan's body gradually became withered and thin, finally turning into a dried corpse and dissipating into the Mo Sea as powder.

The battle halberd in his hand rolled, and all the blood Qi was absorbed by it. Streaks of scarlet blood lines spread from the tail of the halberd to the blade.

Releasing the halberd, it returned to the appearance of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and flew toward Wanghai City.

The Wanghai City Magistrate caught the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and an inexplicable feeling washed over him.

If he had previously possessed the strength of a First-Rank Divine Martial artist by relying on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, now he could possess power comparable to a Second-Rank Divine Martial artist! He Feiyun looked at the giant figure on the Mo Sea in the distance, frozen in place, his mind blank.

It wasn't until the rumbling sound of the waves reached his ears that he came back to his senses. He saw a figure walking slowly on the Mo Sea, a young figure carrying a head in his hand—the head of a True God.

His gaze was dim; it was the confusion that appeared after encountering something incomprehensible.

It wasn't until Qin Jiang walked closer that ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

A True God! A True God! No, not only that, this is a God among Gods who has killed a True God! As a Demon King who has lived for nearly a thousand years, he knew better than anyone how powerful a True God was; it was an existence that was almost impossible to kill!

Years ago, when the Rong Kingdom and the Xiong Kingdom were at war, a Tricky King found an opportunity and swallowed an army of 300,000 in one gulp, thereby achieving the position of Tricky God.

Although he had just become a True God, he still displayed a near-immortal vitality!

The Rong Kingdom and the Xiong Kingdom each dispatched a True God-level expert to intercept and kill him, but he still managed to run away, not even leaving behind any serious injuries.

And now, a True God had fallen before his eyes, and the one who killed this True God was a young man who had just become a True God.

He was certain that Qin Jiang, who had just joined the Longevity Sect, had absolutely not achieved True God status, and had not even gone very far among Divine Martial artists! In other words, in just over a month, the person before him had crossed the three barriers of peak Divine Martial, Demigod, and True God!

Each of these three barriers could be described as a chasm! They had trapped countless prodigies throughout history!

"Senior Brother, why such a posture?" Qin Jiang laughed.

He Feiyun came back to his senses, the excitement in his heart not yet fully faded, and he nodded repeatedly. "It is... it is I who lost my composure."

"Leave these Huai Kingdom soldiers on the scene to Senior Brother to deal with; I have things to do, so I'll head back first," Qin Jiang said.

"Of course, Junior Brother, please do as you wish."

Returning to the County Government Office, Qin Jiang placed Fushan's head on the stone table in the courtyard.

Fresh blood stained the stone table, faintly emitting white smoke—a sign that the stone could not withstand the divine blood.

Seeing this scene, Qin Jiang couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a True God-level existence; even in death, the physical body still maintained some activity.

It had to be said that True God-level experts were truly hard to kill; as long as a trace of True Spirit remained, they could spend time and resources to be resurrected and return.

That halberd strike just now, if it hadn't been for invoking the Cloud of Will above Wanghai City, using the killing intent of countless battle souls as the blade, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible to completely wipe out Fushan's True Spirit like that.

He raised his hand, extended his index finger to point at the center of Fushan's forehead, and then flicked his finger slightly. A pale blue phantom floated out from Fushan's head.

'You! This is impossible! How could you possibly extract my soul!'

The pale blue phantom looked exactly like Fushan's head, only slightly younger. The mental fluctuation vibrated in the void, revealing a sense of shock.

Once the True Spirit is formed, form and spirit are one; the connection between the physical body and the soul becomes extremely tight. It could be said that they prosper together and perish together.

This could be seen from the fact that he was now only a soul body with a head left.

But precisely because of this, once one achieves True God status, the soul and body cannot be separated! Throughout history, no one had ever been able to extract the soul of a True God! Qin Jiang looked at Fushan's soul body and said nothing. He hadn't agreed to Fushan's proposal earlier precisely because of this. There was no need for Fushan to tell him; once Fushan was killed, the information would still be his. He pressed his five fingers onto Fushan's soul body, demonic Qi surging in his palm, violently reading Fushan's memories.

From his childhood, to his rise to prominence in his youth, to his rapid progress after becoming an adult, being called a Young True God at the age of four or five hundred.

After that, it was achieving True God status and becoming the Grand Marshal of the Huai Kingdom.

Qin Jiang couldn't help but praise. As expected of a True God; some of the cultivation experience within could even give him some inspiration.

The memories flipped, finally arriving at recent years: plotting against Great Xia's Immortal Ancestor, wanting to kill the Huai Emperor and ascend the throne, using the Canglang River as a base, plotting to seize the Huai King's hiding place in Yuan Prefecture! In Great Xia?!

Qin Jiang stood up abruptly, looking toward a certain city within Yuan Prefecture—that was the direction of Ning'an County City.

Without any hesitation, he soared into the sky, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

He Feiyun and the Wanghai City Magistrate watched the streak of light in confusion, and a voice rang in their ears.

"The Huai King is in Ning'an City."

The voice disappeared, and He Feiyun and the Wanghai City Magistrate exchanged a glance.

"The Huai King?" He Feiyun asked.

"It's the Huai King!" the Wanghai City Magistrate nodded affirmatively.

Hiss~ A trace of panic appeared in He Feiyun's eyes, and then a somewhat bold thought arose in his heart.

"Quick! Give me the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl! I want to return to the Prefecture City to invite the Marshal!"

He was now the number one expert in the vicinity; only he could travel to the Prefecture City at the fastest speed!

Ning'an City, Copper Bell Sect.

Long Daosheng stood at the peak of the main peak, looking in the direction of the Prefecture City.

"Big Brother, you haven't eaten for three days. 'Mortal Transformation' isn't done like this, is it?"

Long Wenliang stood behind him, setting up a table and chairs and laying out food.

After Wang Zizai died, Wang Zi'an also resigned in disgrace and went to the Prefecture City to plead guilty; the position of Ning'an County Governor naturally fell on his shoulders.

Big Brother had also integrated the power of the Copper Bell Sect. Although he didn't know why he hadn't taken over the position of Sect Master, he was actually the de facto controller of the Copper Bell Sect.

Long Daosheng shook his head. "The Prefecture City issued a conscription order. Although I don't know why Ning'an wasn't conscripted, I imagine it won't be long."

"I just don't know how Junior Brother is doing now. Since he went to the Prefecture City, although there have been letters back, he hasn't explained his situation. I'm a little worried that he might be squeezed out."

"After all, Junior Brother's strength is comparable to a Divine Martial artist. After going there, he will naturally want a share of the benefits in the Prefecture City."

"Pah, why worry so much? Does Junior Brother need you to worry? Not to mention anything else, as long as he learns Divine Martial after going there, he will soar into the sky before long."

"Instead of worrying here, why not take the time to go see him? Anyway, there's nothing going on in Ning'an now," Long Wenliang said.

Long Daosheng nodded slightly, then shook his head again. "Not appropriate, not appropriate. If I go, it will look like I'm asking for favors in return for kindness."

Long Wenliang curled his lips. "Then hurry up and eat! Yue Sheng plans to impact the Demon Dragon Transformation this afternoon; you need to go watch over it."

Long Daosheng nodded and was about to turn back to sit down, but a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

He was dressed in a red and white royal robe, with a cyan jade thumb ring on his right hand, which was extremely eye-catching.

"You are... Qin Jiang's Senior Brother?"

My brain is a bit dizzy, the quality has dropped significantly recently... Uh... It was probably never there to begin with (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 164 =====

My brain is a bit foggy, and the quality has declined severely recently. Uh. It's mostly because it wasn't good from the start. (End of chapter)
