Under the protection of Qin Feng and others, the surviving commoners in the tavern managed to escape half of Shuliang City, getting closer to the city gate.
In the middle, soldiers and demon slayers cleared the way for them, but even so, some people lost their lives to the suddenly emerging corpse demons.
Due to the lingering Death Qi in the city, the slain corpse demons would quickly resurrect.
Because of this, more and more people are dying in the city.
Above the high sky, in the white domain, the battle between Sima Kong and Yang Mang had reached a high intensity.
Unexpectedly, the tide of the battle was not in favor of the Spear Immortal; instead, Yang Mang appeared to be in complete control!
Sima Kong’s black cloak was tattered, revealing sturdy muscles beneath his green clothes.
He closed his eyes, frowned, and held the spear in his hand, Sky Cloud Piercer, suspended in the air.
On the other side, Yang Mang was miraculously unharmed!
This was not due to a significant difference in their strength; it was because when the master of Qian Gui set up the Nine Chains Coffin to seal the corpse, he also arranged a formation to gather Death Qi in Shuliang City.As creatures that absorbed death and resentment, for the corpse demons, Death Qi was their life force.
As long as there was a continuous supply of Death Qi, Yang Mang could rapidly recover from any injuries.
In this constant exchange, the Spear Immortal Sima Kong found himself in a passive situation.
Looking at the heavily injured Spear Immortal, Yang Mang taunted, “So, the Twelve Divine Generals of The Great Qian only have this level of strength? Coming all this way just to die, you’re truly the first in history. But after all, as a third-grade warrior, your blood and qi are indeed abundant. I’m sure you’ll be delicious.”
Faced with such provocations, the Spear Immortal turned a deaf ear and just stood quietly high in the sky, exuding Qi, as if he was feeling something.
As they approached the city gate, the number of emerging corpse demons increased, making the progress more challenging.
When the entire group was struggling to move forward, Qin Feng looked around, realizing that they were surrounded by corpse demons.
The demon slayers protecting the group, along with the soldiers desperately slaying the corpse demons, faced waves of attacks.
As long as the Death Qi in Shuliang City continued unabated, these incorrigible creatures would remain immortal.
However, the strength of mortal beings had its limits.
Another bolt of white thunder struck, annihilating several corpse demons ahead. However, even with Qin Feng’s current strength, supplemented by the headband on his head restoring his Righteous Qi, he had reached his limit.
Cang Feilan was still harvesting the heads of the corpse demons, but being just one person, she couldn’t cover all fronts.
With the continuous wails, the defensive line of the group became tighter and tighter.
At this critical moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind the corpse demons: “Young Master Qin, I’ve brought reinforcements back!”
It was Amu. Qin Feng looked excitedly towards the direction of the city gate, and a massive black coffin crashed down, engulfing numerous corpse demons!
Such astonishing means could only be executed by an extraordinary practitioner of the Hundred Ghosts Path.
Qin Feng instantly thought of a person, the Chief Zhou Kai of the Thirty-Six Stars!
“All of you, enter the city, slay the corpse demons, and escort the people in the city to safety!” Zhou Kai gathered his energy and shouted.
“Yes, sir!” The soldiers and demon slayers echoed in unison.
With Zhou Kai’s intervention, the corpse demons blocking the path to the city gate were quickly eliminated.
In just the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, the fleeing citizens in the tavern successfully escaped through the city gate.
“Young Master Qin, here’s this back for you.” Amu came to Qin Feng’s side and handed him the token of the Sword Dao Alliance.
Qin Feng acknowledged with a nod and then looked to the other side. Chief Zhou Kai approached, utilizing puppetry techniques to eradicate the disorderly corpse demons.
“How is the situation in Shuliang City now?” Zhou Kai asked.
Qin Feng immediately recounted the current situation in the city, including the origin and details of the corpse demons.
Upon hearing about Wang Yi’s various misdeeds, a dark cloud seemed to churn on Zhou Kai’s wrinkled face.
“The situation in The Great Qian has been difficult to change, thanks to these damn parasites that can’t be completely eradicated.” As he spoke, Zhou Kai looked up at the looming domain in the sky.
The pressure inside was so oppressive that it made it difficult for people to breathe.
“You dare to be distracted while facing me in battle, you’re seeking death!” With Yang Mang’s cold shout, a black death aura rushed towards his opponent like a thunderbolt.
“Finally arrived.” a simple statement came from Sima Kong’s mouth.
Previously, due to concerns about unleashing his full power and causing collateral damage to Shuliang City, he had always been holding back during the confrontation with Yang Mang.
Now, with Zhou Kai’s arrival at Shuliang City, he could finally be a bit more serious.
Sima Kong opened his tightly closed eyes, and his pupils displayed a grayish-white color, followed by a gleam of black brightness.
The onslaught of Death Qi was just inches from his forehead, an unavoidable distance.
But with just a slight sway of his body, the death aura seemed to pass through him, not harming him in the slightest! This strange scene made Yang Mang squint his eyes: “Martial arts say, practice eyes before practicing the spear, practice the heart before practicing the sword.”
“I thought you closed your eyes and were blind. It turns out you deliberately closed your eyes to cultivate the most elusive insight, the Minds’ Eye of the fifth level Realm of Myriad Gods, using your heart to perceive the world.”
Spear Immortal Sima Kong, upon hearing these words, turned his head to look at him. He clearly hadn’t done anything, but those eyes of his carried an unparalleled sense of oppression!
At the same time, in the night sky, a pair of gigantic eye shadows appeared and then disappeared in a flash.
Qin Feng, witnessing this, was extremely shocked. Those enormous pupils seemed like deities overlooking the mortal world, making it impossible for anyone to muster any resistance!
“What… what exactly is that?” Amu asked tremblingly.
“It is indeed difficult to deal with the corpse ghost of a third-level Divine Martial Artist. It actually forced the Spear Immortal to open his mind’s eye and take it seriously.” Zhou Kai murmured.
”Mind’s eye?” Qin Feng looked curious.
“Warriors often say, in practicing the spear, you first practice the eyes; in practicing the sword, you first practice the heart; in practicing the knife, you first practice the momentum.”
“The path of cultivation has five realms. The commonly perceived highest realm is the fifth realm, the Realm of Myriad Gods. Those who reach this realm can transform everything into a weapon.”
“However, within this fifth realm, there are distinctions. The highest realm in the path of the spear is to cultivate the mind’s eye.”
“Observing all things with the mind, one can see through the surface and be invincible.”
“Any weaknesses in all things are difficult to escape the control of the mind’s eye.”
At this point, Zhou Kai sighed, “He wants to unleash a great battle, but it’s tough on my old bones.”
Qin Feng, still puzzled, saw the surrounding Yin Qi start to surge under the influence of the strange abilities of the dual pupils.
Zhou Kai spread out his hands, and Yin Qi entered the shadow beneath his feet. In no time, a massive black shadow rose, transforming into a towering giant ape.
The fourth grade of Hundred Ghosts, the art of controlling spirits. This giant ape was the Yin spirit Zhu Yan that Chief Zhou had summoned in the city of Jinyang before!
“I will do my best to block the aftermath!” Zhou Kai shouted into the air.
In the white domain, Spear Immortal Sima Kong, upon hearing this, lowered his head and nodded slightly.
How could Yang Mang not discern the hidden meaning behind these words? The other party hadn’t seriously made a move before!
He was about to attack, but in an instant, a finger touched his forehead.
Spear force shot out from the fingertips, directly piercing Yang Mang’s head. The force stirred within his body.
In no time, Yang Mang’s powerful body was torn into pieces!
