Chapter 264: The Two Strongest Fighters of Great Martial

At first, the evil spirit could still endure, making no sound.

He thought that if he just endured a bit longer, Shen Qing might give up.

But after enduring for a while, he saw no sign of Shen Qing intending to give up, and because of the searing of the Annihilation Light, he finally couldn't bear it.

He broke down and spoke.

"Human, stop hitting, stop hitting, I can't take it!"

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

Shen Qing gave a light laugh: "Lowly bone, you insist on speaking only after torture."

"Then speak."

The evil spirit's voice carried a hint of humiliation: "Indeed, my people have come to this world, but I don't know where they are. As soon as I arrived in this world, I possessed this Daoist; he discovered me, forcibly brought me here, and nailed me with copper nails into his body—I've been trapped like this for many years."

Shen Qing continued: "Then how did you get to this world?"

"A person called Profound Thunder Saint brought me here."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes. "Profound Thunder Saint? That name isn't unfamiliar."

After all, saints aren't as common as cabbage in Great Martial; every Martial Saint there is registered.

Shen Qing might not be familiar with the renowned Golden Core Realm of Great Martial, but he knows these Martial Saints like the back of his hand.

Martial Saints also exist in the martial world, though few; for example, Diamond Temple and Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion each have a Martial Saint in residence.

And this Profound Thunder Saint is a Martial Saint belonging to the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Shen Qing looked at the evil spirit: "Did he defect? Defect to your evil side?"

The evil spirit originally wanted to object to Shen Qing calling it an evil thing, but seeing Shen Qing's eyes flickering with golden flame, it lowered its head and silently nodded.

Shen Qing continued asking: "Then what is your purpose for infiltrating our world?"

The evil spirit didn't really want to answer that question, but while hesitating, the Annihilation Light blasted onto it, and a scorching heat wave exploded.

The evil spirit roared: "Because you have two old monsters over there who are too strong; just those two keep us from daring to show our heads. We can't beat them, so we thought to cause some sabotage in the rear, lowering your humans' foundation."

"As for the rest, I really don't know. Don't torture me anymore."

"My evil spirit clan are emperors, but my status there isn't high either; otherwise I wouldn't have been sent to this world to do such a dangerous mission!"

That actually makes some sense.

Those two old things must be Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes: "You still dare to shout at me?"

Then a slap directly covered the evil spirit's faceless face, blasting it apart. The evil spirit forcibly broke free, but after being violently beaten and tortured by Shen Qing, it was already spent, unable to recover, and slowly dissipated into the air.

And a line of small text that popped up before his eyes also proved the evil spirit's death.

【Congratulations on killing an Annihilation‑Realm evil spirit; you have successfully looted the trait: Soul Like Ancient Pine (gold)】

【A new combinable trait discovered】

【Spirit Like Dragon (red) + Soul Like Ancient Pine (gold) =???】

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow, thinking the evil spirit had come to pick faults, but instead he discovered Shen Qing's weakness and came to give him a big gift package.

What else is there to say!

Directly begin the fusion.

In an instant, a terrifying surge swept out, the clouds in the sky were quickly dispersed, and the terrifying spiritual power spread like waves in all directions, each wave stronger than the last.

Until finally, the immense spiritual power even caused the waterfall to reverse flow upward, suspending rocks in midair.

No one knows how long passed.

【Congratulations on fusing and obtaining the trait: Immortal Soul (colorful)】

Immortal Soul (colorful): Stabilized through countless reincarnations, it resists all spiritual erosion and the wear of time.

Shen Qing opened his eyes; those pupils were like an endless abyss, impossible to stare directly into.

If a person with weak spirit meets Shen Qing's gaze, they would likely go mad instantly.

Shen Qing blinked, gathered his spiritual power, then grabbed the Daoist's corpse and directly blasted a huge hole through the mountain, flying toward Martial Yang Prefecture.

The Heavenly Thunder Sect where Profound Thunder Saint resides is in Martial Yang Prefecture, but Shen Qing doesn't plan to go alone; he senses that the danger of the Heavenly Thunder Sect is not small.

So Shen Qing certainly can't go alone; aren't there two old Doraemons crouching at home? We need them to contribute too.

One day later, in Martial Yang Prefecture, at the Shen Family Qilin Mountain.

Emperor Zhu Wu tore through the void and arrived; Shen Qing and Shen Wendao were already waiting there.

Zhu Wu landed, smiling narrowly at Shen Qing.

"Shen Qing, you weren't supposed to be investigating in You Prefecture? How did you come back in just two days?"

"Did you run into some trouble? It's fine; those evil spirits aren't easy to deal with, so encountering setbacks is normal."

Shen Wendao also nodded.

Shen Qing waved his hand: "I did encounter some trouble; do you not need to intervene?"

"I arrived in You Prefecture yesterday; the White Dragon Sect happened to be holding a meeting, so I casually killed their three Heavenly Gang Stars and six Earthly Evil Stars, and even chopped up their White River Martial Saint."

"Here I need your first favor: I want to know where the White Dragon Saint is located."

"Also, from one of those Earthly Evil Stars I learned where the Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees Technique came from; I went there, found a trapped evil spirit, and from it learned that the Profound Thunder Saint of the Heavenly Thunder Sect had defected."

"Here I need your second favor: kill the Profound Thunder Saint."

Zhu Wu froze, looking at Shen Qing: "Did you do all this in two days?"

Shen Qing shook his head: "Not accurate; I spent two days traveling, and actually doing these things took only about half a day."

Zhu Wu turned to Shen Wendao: "Old Shen, is that right?"

Shen Wendao shook his head: "You're asking me? I don't know."

In half a day he killed three Heavenly Gang Stars, six Earthly Evil Stars, and a Martial Saint; afterwards he also found an evil spirit and exposed a Martial Saint traitor.

This time, he, Zhu Wu, and Shen Wendao had returned, having prepared for a protracted war, yet how could they have seen results in just a few days?

Shen Qing spoke up: "Right, that Evil Curse even calls itself an Evil Spirit, claiming to be the emperor of the Evil Curse side—is that true?"

Zhu Wu immediately stood up and came before Shen Qing: "What did you say? You encountered an Evil Spirit? Are you okay?"

Shen Qing's immortal soul activated, and a vast surge of spiritual power spread out: "That Evil Spirit just has somewhat strong spiritual power, but that's all—I killed it."

Zhu Wu felt this spiritual power and already didn't know what to say.

Shen Wendao spoke up: "The Evil Spirit clan is indeed the emperor of the Evil Curse side; each one is very troublesome, but fortunately their numbers are extremely small."

But the next moment, Shen Wendao's face darkened a bit: "They'd actually send Evil Spirits to infiltrate our Great Wu? They must indeed be desperate."

"Shen Qing, you're definitely from the Heaven Thunder Sect, right?"

"We'll follow your command."

Shen Qing smiled, having waited for these words: "Alright, let's set out now."

"Once we go into the mountains later, we'll attack anyone we see!"

"What? You say the Heaven Thunder Sect and the Profound Thunder Saint are very strong?"

"Sorry."

Shen Qing brought the two strongest fighters of Great Wu walking toward you.
