Chapter 150 Vulnerable to a Single Blow-The Exorcist of the Great Yuan Dynasty(Number Seven Dagger)

"Beiming, stop wasting time. Finish off Gongyang Yan and shatter the Demon-Suppressing Tower."

The voice of the Eastern Marquis Military Lord echoed through the air.

"Senior Eastern Marquis, no need to remind me. I shall kill Gongyang Yan right now."

On the exquisite and flawless face of the Beiming Military Lord, a smile as alluring and vibrant as a hell datura flower bloomed. It would be a thoroughly pleasant and deeply fulfilling task to torture and kill a direct-line genius of the Gongyang family. Furthermore, she detested that cold and stunning face of her opponent.

Such a gorgeous face. What a pity.

Meanwhile, nether qi like frost enveloped the Demon-Suppressing Tower. The entire barrier of demon suppression was crawling with frost, ceaselessly probing for vulnerabilities in the tower's defenses. The Slaying-Kun Demon-Exterminating Sword she cared so much about kept resisting, yet it never shifted from its original position. Clearly, the sword was suppressing an even more terrifying purgatory deep beneath East-Bin City.

Determination flashed in Gongyang Yan's eyes. She knew the defensive system of the Demon-Suppressing Tower could not hold out against this master of divine powers for much longer. The divine power master before her was immensely powerful, easily on par with the Eastern Marquis Military Lord.

"How I hate this! Give me five more years, and I would become a divine power master, invincible in my might; I would become a master of laws, capable of slaying martial saints!" Gongyang Yan sighed softly.

"Falsehood-Shattering Divine Eyes, behold my destiny, ignite my blood!"

A pair of eyes looked inward upon themselves. The power inherited within her bloodline was effortlessly located by Gongyang Yan. Under the special power of the Falsehood-Shattering Divine Eyes, the hidden strength slumbering within her blood began to be drawn forth.

Her blood was burning. Her pupils were burning.

A stream of bloody tears slipped from Gongyang Yan's eyes. She knew that once the ultimate power of the Falsehood-Shattering Divine Eyes was unleashed, these eyes would be ruined. Her life, her very soul, would be destroyed.

The Beiming Military Lord felt a sudden tremor in her heart. At this moment, she finally unleashed her full might. Since she was determined to kill a member of the Gongyang family, she no longer feared the pursuit of the Five Elders of Demon Suppression. With enough debts, one ceases to worry about the weight.

"Divine Power, Yama's Nether Hell!"

Streaks of chilling mist emerged in the void, weaving into cloud-like formations. An ancient, frigid, and majestic aura emanated from these cloud-forms.

Terror descended, enveloping the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Crack, crack~~!

Faint sounds of the light barrier fracturing echoed as a web of cracks began to spread. The defensive barrier of the entire Demon-Suppressing Tower could no longer withstand the terrifying might, shattering into fragments of light that scattered across the ground and vanished into nothingness.

A corner of Yama's Nether Hell was revealed, as if the Beiming Military Lord had summoned a terrifying world, crushing down from another spacetime and pulling everything before her into Yama's Nether Hell.

Yama's Nether Hell was the supreme divine power she had comprehended upon achieving the Netherworld and grasping the laws of the underworld, forming a unique nether-space. This was her netherworld—her own unique nether-realm. If she could successfully conquer the heavens in the future, she would be the lord of this hell, standing forever undefeated.

Lightning and thunder surged over Gongyang Yan's body as she struggled fiercely to resist the descent of Yama's Nether Hell. It felt as though the weight of an entire world was pressing down upon her; her body could not bear the burden, and blood flowed from all seven of her facial orifices.

Yet, Gongyang Yan's blood-streaming pupils were exceptionally bright, her gaze capable of piercing through worlds and seeing through all illusions.

"Heaven and Earth Single Slash!"

Her body transformed into blade intent, lightning flashing and biting cold as a blade pierced through the gap, breaking out from the weakest point of Yama's Nether Hell and soaring straight into the firmament.

The Beiming Military Lord was stunned, deeply shocked. Her divine power was immense, its might no inferior to ultimate divine powers. Furthermore, it possessed a certain irreversible rule: once completely engulfed by Yama's Nether Hell, one would be reduced to a malevolent ghost of the netherworld, serving at her command. The more ghosts she had, the more formidable her divine power became.

To fill her hell, over the past ten years, she had slaughtered countless powerhouses, pushing the might of Yama's Nether Hell infinitely close to the level of a third-tier ultimate divine power.

However, Yama's Nether Hell had one flaw: the time required to fully release the divine power was quite slow. This slowness was relative to the reaction speed of the enemy. Yet even so, once trapped within Yama's Nether Hell, one could only endure it head-on with zero possibility of escape.

Gongyang Yan's blade strike, delivered at the exact moment of transition between illusion and manifested divine power, carved open a fissure through which she managed to escape.

Gongyang Yan's aura grew increasingly powerful, surpassing even the state she was in before consuming her internal vitality.

"Kill her! Do not give her any chance!"

The Eastern Marquis Military Lord moved like a phantom, lunging straight toward Gongyang Yan.

The Beiming Military Lord waved her hand, and the Yama's Nether Hell—which had not yet been fully summoned—transformed into mist, condensing in her palm into the shape of a sword, which she thrust toward Gongyang Yan.

"Dance of the Phoenix..."

Gongyang Yan channeled her innate divine power, burning her life force to its absolute limit. Once this final step was taken, there would be no turning back. Death was certain!

This was her own trump card, not something bestowed by her family. It was the greatest gift her mother had left her.

"My lord, leave this to your subordinate."

A familiar voice rang out. A palm pressed gently against her back, and a surge of primordial vital energy containing the essence of all things poured into her body, forcibly interrupting her innate divine power.

Return to the origin!

A mighty torrent of energy rampaged through her body, merging with her flesh and compensating for the depletion of her burning life force.

"Just a step away, and I would have been too late."

Wind swept past and clouds gathered. A young man in fluttering white robes, radiating extraordinary bearing, stood beside Gongyang Yan, lowering his gaze to look down at the Eastern Marquis Military Lord and Beiming Military Lord rushing toward him.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The enemies' attacks arrived in the blink of an eye, yet in Baili Feihong's eyes, they moved with agonizing slowness.

The Eastern Marquis Military Lord had already spotted the newcomer. So had the Beiming Military Lord.

In that very instant, their netherworlds were collapsing. Charging toward Gongyang Yan with their fatal strikes, they felt like moths flying into a flame—no, like moths chasing the sun.

Retreat!

Their souls roared frantically.

Terrifying—far too terrifying!

This surge of blood Qi was like a sea of blood filling the firmament, or rather, like a scorching sun standing proudly in the void. Anyone who came close would undoubtedly die.

The Eastern Marquis Military Lord abruptly halted his momentum, forcibly cutting off his divine power, and vanished into the void, desperate to escape. The Beiming Military Lord did the exact same thing.

As practitioners of the Netherworld, when it came to sensing death, if they claimed second place, no one dared claim first. The terrifying shadow of death filled their hearts.

"Who is he?!" the Beiming Military Lord roared. She did not know who the man before her was.

But the Eastern Marquis Military Lord did.

Back then, he had even attempted to recruit this person into the Netherworld so he could seize his physical body and use it as a vessel for the Netherworld to parasitize. Yet the person had forcibly employed a divine power to escape. At that time, the youth was merely at the Spirit-Refining Realm.

Yet today, this man was none of other than Baili Feihong, renowned across the world as the top-ranked prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Roll, the very person who had single-handedly dismantled the Black Heaven Cult's deployment in the Devil's Strait.

"He is Baili Feihong."

The deep voice of the Eastern Marquis Military Lord echoed throughout East-Bin City. Even ordinary citizens and numerous members of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau heard it clearly.

The pride of East-Bin City. A former dock laborer. Within a mere half-year, he had risen to become a genius Guardian Envoy.

"Eastern Marquis Military Lord, long time no see."

As his words fell, he drew his blade and vanished.

When he reappeared, the blade had already pierced through the brain of the Eastern Marquis Military Lord, pinning him onto the city wall.

Yet Baili Feihong felt no joy whatsoever. He looked at the familiar Prosperity Street, now reduced to ruins, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, where paradise had turned into purgatory.

At this moment, his gaze pierced through the earth, looking deep into the subterranean depths of East-Bin City.

The outline pattern occupying the entire underground of East-Bin City presented itself in his eyes. His Demon-Suppressing Divine Eyes beheld a terrifying purgatory. Within that purgatory, a monstrous demon of heart-stopping proportions was exhaling thousands of miles of earth-fiend energy, while countless wandering souls clung to its body.

Ji Xiaoqian had once mentioned that something strange existed beneath East-Bin City.

The Beiming Military Lord lost all color in her face. She attempted to execute her escaping art... only to discover that the vital energy of heaven and earth throughout the entire void had been locked down, and space itself suppressed.

The *Six Paths of Demon Suppression Scripture*?

"Blood Suppresses Mountains and Rivers!"

Baili Feihong muttered to himself. Wave upon wave of blood-Qi tidal currents enveloped the entire East-Bin City.

"Ah—!"

Black smoke billowed from the Beiming Military Lord's entire body. The netherworld within her soul—and even the nether-space constructed by her divine power—was collapsing.

She finally experienced the absolute suppression that blood-refiners held over netherworld cultivation techniques to the fullest extent.

"Nether Lord Soul-Stabilizing Pillar!"

Yet, having existed for so many years, the Netherworld had long since found a way to resist the damage inflicted upon them by blood Qi.

Nether Lord Soul-Stabilizing Pillar!

The soul was stabilized, and the physical body became like wood, rendering the erosion of blood Qi ignorable. At the same time, extreme yin Qi was used to shield the netherworld, pitting extreme yin against ultimate yang.

"Is that all the divine power masters of the Netherworld have to offer?"

The void shattered, and a fist came hurtling through!

Six Paths Absolute, Second Absolute Fist!

A direct punch, simple to the extreme. Martial intent filled the entire world of the Beiming Military Lord.

With a single punch, heaven and earth shattered. Everything was pulverized into nothingness!

Puff~~~

Blown into a mist of blood with one punch. Soul and魄 scattered into oblivion.

The Southern Marquis and Western Evil Military Lords, who had been fighting Jiang Dongliu of the Yin-Yang Heaven Sect, were enveloped by the blood Qi. Their entire bodies were ignited, and the nether qi on them continuously dissipated.

Jiang Dongliu's expression changed drastically. He circulated his blood Qi within himself, blending into the blood of the sea to evade the opponent's targeting. Without a single moment of hesitation, he executed his Yin-Yang Divine Escape and fled East-Bin City.

The fist appeared once more!

No accidents, no pleasant surprises.

The Southern Marquis and Western Evil, two heinous divine power masters, were blasted into渣.

wisps of black Qi rose from heaven and earth, only to be purified by the blood Qi. Heaven and earth returned to a bright and clear cosmos.

Gongyang Yan opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes wide with utter disbelief. Baili Feihong had learned the *Six Paths of Demon Suppression Scripture* from her, and less than a year had passed since then. How... how could he have cultivated it to such a realm?

She knew Baili Feihong had claimed the top spot on the Hidden Dragon Roll, and she had heard Chen Xingyan recount his master's exploits on Feiyuan Island. Yet seeing him today, she realized she had been utterly unprepared for the true extent of Baili Feihong's current strength. It was far too shocking.

Utilizing spiritual travel and governing Qi, he floated gracefully to land before Gongyang Yan.

Yet Baili Feihong's expression was grim as he said, "The Kunpeng has turned into a ghost, its soul locking East-Bin City in chains. We were all deceived by the first Guardian Envoy. He beheaded the demon, but he never exterminated the fiend—he never destroyed its soul!"

Deep beneath the entire East-Bin City lay a powerful sealing force. The sealing formation was right beneath their feet. With the city walls as its boundary, the entirety of East-Bin City was being carried upon the back of the Kunpeng.

If it were to awaken and shatter the seal, it would trigger a cataclysmic disaster of natural-disaster proportions across East-Bin City. If it broke the formation, East-Bin City would be utterly annihilated in an instant.

Gongyang Yan snapped back to her senses. Hearing Baili Feihong's words shocked her even more than the overwhelming martial might he had just displayed.

The ancestor of the Yan family had established East-Bin City in his capacity as a heavenly guardian back in the day, becoming its very first Guardian Envoy. He was the totemic legendary figure of East-Bin City.

"Now, it has awakened. Its bones, and its blood, still remain..."
