In the midst of the mist.

Qin Zheng held the Ghost Head Greatsword in hand, closed his eyes tightly, stood still, and strained to expand his perceptions in all directions.

He didn’t know when, but he had lost contact with Zhao Li.

It was as if one moment he could sense the other’s presence, and then the next, it vanished without a trace.

A moment later.

Qin Zheng opened his eyes, his expression slightly grave.

He didn’t sense Zhao Li’s aura.

This meant that either the mist was blocking their ability to sense each other’s presence,

or in an instant, they were separated by hundreds of miles!

The second possibility seemed unrealistic since one of them was a peak Great Grandmaster and the other’s combat power was no less than that of a peak Great Grandmaster.

To be able to instantaneously move them a hundred miles without notice... even the National Martial Saint couldn’t manage that.

If the Great Sage Moxu had that kind of ability, there would’ve been no need for any roundabout strategies; he could have just struck them down directly.

So this means... there’s something wrong with this mist!

As these thoughts whirled in his mind, Qin Zheng analyzed the situation at hand.

This scenario, no doubt, was something that Zhao Li, the Great Grandmaster from Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution, hadn’t anticipated either.

Therefore, whatever Moxu Demon Lair had in store was likely to happen next.

He must be even more cautious.

Qin Zheng crouched down, picked up a stone from beside his foot, and lightly threw it into the mist ahead with some force.

With immense power behind it, the stone shot out like an arrow, instantly tearing through the air and streaking into the mist.

But no sound came to his ears.

So, this mist could not only shield their perception of each other’s presence but even swallow sounds as well.

Qin Zheng’s gaze grew a fraction more solemn.

Under such conditions, they could not sense each other through their auras or call out using their voices.

Their connection had been completely severed.

Therefore, what happened next would depend on each’s own fortune.

Luckily, aside from not being able to sense Zhao Li’s aura and being unable to make sounds travel, he could still perceive the nearby rocks, trees, and other environmental features when he spread out his spiritual power.

Qin Zheng had a thought and first pushed the Thousand Facets Breathing Method to its limit, condensing his aura.

Then he slowly stepped back, trying to see if he could exit the area covered by the mist.

In this process.

The mist was silent within, not a single sound to be heard, eerily quiet.

And it was unclear how much time had passed when the dense fog showed no sign of thinning at all.

Qin Zheng heaved a soft sigh and stopped retreating.

Next, he looked forward, his eyes flickering slightly, and with a step, he turned into a streak of golden light and shot forth.

This time, before long, the mist began to churn unrestedly.

Then, a dark silhouette suddenly burst through the mist and attacked Qin Zheng.

Whoosh!

A dazzling blade light lit up in an instant.

And then, a Rabbit Demon with blood-red eyes fell to the ground.

Qin Zheng’s eyes sparkled slightly, not pausing for an instant; he continued to rush forward.

From this Rabbit Demon onward, monsters began to launch ambush attacks from within the mist.

Yet all were dealt with by Qin Zheng wielding his greatsword, one by one.

In just a moment’s time, he had already slain no fewer than ten monsters at the Demon Saint Realm!

Another few hundred jin of merit attained!

Without any delay, Qin Zheng continued on like a streak of golden light, sweeping forward.

But then, no Great Demons attacked again, and the wilderness seemed to return to tranquility.

Until Qin Zheng came to a valley.

The large mountains on both sides were like two great gates.

After entering the valley, the encompassing mist dispersed like the receding tide.

Sound and sight instantly entered Qin Zheng’s perception.

Roar! Roar! Roar!...

Towering demonic energy!

Herds of Great Demons!

In Qin Zheng’s view at this moment, he saw dozens of Great Demons in the Saint Realm, their monstrous bodies revealed, eyeing him with predatory intent.

Before this group of Great Demons stood a middle-aged man holding a white-flagged banner, looking at him with an indifferent expression.

"Those weaklings couldn’t kill you, so I’ll have to do it myself," he slowly spoke, his tone icy cold.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze gradually turning icy as well.

"You’re human!"

The one before the group of monsters, holding a white-flagged banner, was a human!

The middle-aged man, hearing this, sneered as if he’d heard a joke, and a scornful smile appeared on his indifferent face.

"What does it matter whether one is human or demon?"

"How can one ascend to the Martial Saint and manifest a Dharma Body if obsessed with mere appearances?"

"You, a simpleton who understands nothing, are likely not to comprehend."

Listening to the man, Qin Zheng’s gaze grew sharper, but a sense of familiarity welled up within him.

This lofty tone and bizarre way of speaking were just too similar to Gao Wuyun!

On a closer look at the man’s features, an idea took shape in Qin Zheng’s mind, and he asked again, "Are you from the Quanyang Gao Family?"

The middle-aged man gave a contemptuous chuckle, then responded, "The deaths of my two foolish younger brothers might not have been meaningless; they spared me the need to reveal my identity, allowing even a brute like you to recognize it."

"Enough, I’ve said more than enough today."

"Hand over the Pseudo Dragon Demon Pill and even your soul, and I might reserve a place for you atop my Ten Thousand Souls Banner..."

Boom!

A sudden thunderous flash appeared!

Grasp the bow, nock the arrow, draw the string.

Qin Zheng completed these actions almost in the blink of an eye.

Instantly, a streak of light, like a tornado, swept forth with the power of ten thousand pounds!

Gao Wuying’s expression darkened, and he immediately waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In a moment, dark specters burst forth from the banner, roaring and howling as they rushed towards Qin Zheng’s arrow.

And at that moment, the temperature in the surrounding area plummeted!

Everywhere the specters passed froze over instantly.

Boom!

Qin Zheng’s arrow exploded upon contact with these specters!

A fierce gust of wind poured out in all directions.

And the specters, blasted by the arrow, were obliterated into ashes amidst their piercing screams.

Just as Qin Zheng was about to continue shooting arrows...

Roar! Roar! Roar!...

The group of Monster Saint Realm demons behind Gao Wuying suddenly charged out with a roar.

With the distance already very short, plus dozens of Monster Saint Realm demons charging simultaneously, Qin Zheng suddenly had no chance to continue shooting his arrows.

Without hesitation, he put down the great bow and gripped the Ghost Head Greatsword.

Immediately, he moved, displaying Qinggong, and like a streak of golden light, he charged towards the group of demons.

To Qin Zheng, these were not monsters, but easy merit delivered to his doorstep!

His figure weaving through the fray, his greatsword cleaving left and right, demon after demon fell to their demise!

But there were too many of these demons, and Qin Zheng could not slay them all in a short period of time.

Gao Wuying watched Qin Zheng’s movements with a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, then waved the soul banner once again.

This time, dark mists rolled from the banner, but no specters appeared; instead, it emitted a series of sharp, mournful cries.

The sound, like waves, spread rapidly in all directions.

When it reached where Qin Zheng was, he immediately felt like demonic sounds were piercing through his ears, his soul continually shaken by violent impacts!

Fortunately, his "Secret Spiritual Mind Book" which had reached Great Achievement, took effect at this moment. With a thought, a mighty spiritual power surged forth, protecting his soul.

However, while the specters’ screams could not affect his soul, they could stir up irritability in his heart.

For a time, Qin Zheng’s movements slowed down slightly.

Not far away, seeing Qin Zheng affected, Gao Wuying waved the soul banner again.

A stream of shrill Soul Devouring Demonic Sounds flowed towards Qin Zheng.

This was his signature move, which did not cost much yet could annihilate an enemy’s soul without any trace.

However, this young man before him must have some fortuitous encounter on him—the ’Soul Devouring Demonic Sound’ could only disturb him, not injure him.

No matter, the disturbance was enough. Let these monsters cut him down and spare Gao Wuying the dirty work.

Thinking this, Gao Wuying waved the soul banner more frequently.

He could feel that the young man was becoming more and more affected. Many killing blows had missed their mark, and if it continued like this, he would surely perish!

Sharp specter howls intertwined and reverberated in the air.

Under Gao Wuying’s manipulation, these sounds did not affect the Monster Saint Realm demons of the Moxu Demon Lair.

All of the ’Soul Devouring Demonic Sounds’ ultimately converged inside Qin Zheng’s mind.

Just when Gao Wuying felt confident he could slay Qin Zheng...

Suddenly, in his perception, he saw Qin Zheng shake off the disturbance as if returning to normal, no longer affected in the slightest.

His movements also became normal again, even faster and more agile than before!

Boom!

A surge of Gang Qi burst violently from his body, instantaneously gathering into a ten-zhang long greatsword.

A formidable pressure swept across all directions in an instant!

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Gao Wuying’s heart.

Swish!!

Then, the Gang Qi-formed greatsword, swung like a full moon, along with its golden hue, resembled a giant sun for a moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Under this strike, the remaining demons exploded one after another!

With just this one strike, all the demons in this valley were annihilated!

It was only then that Gao Wuying turned back, his expression darkening, as he gripped the soul banner, ready to wave it.

But at that moment, a streak of golden light suddenly attacked, appearing in front of him, and also grabbing the soul banner, preventing him from waving it.

"You..."

Gao Wuying’s expression turned to shock, about to speak.

But then he saw the figure in front of him, lips parting slightly, and words bursting forth like a spring thunder!

Zap!

Boom!

Within Gao Wuying’s soul, it was as if he heard a thunderous roar that could shake the heavens and earth!

In an instant, he lost all perception!

Even his grip on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner felt numb.

Dazed, the world around him lost sound, lost light, everything plunged into darkness.

In his blurred vision, he only felt a chill at his neck.

His heart was filled with unwillingness and absurdity.

He still had many maneuvers he hadn’t used!

His strength was not only what had been shown!

He was a chosen one of the heavens, about to ascend to Martial Saint and attain the Dharma Body!

He could not die here! Die at the hands of a warrior who knew nothing!

But no matter how his thoughts surged, it all extinguished, sinking into endless darkness.
