The crowd outside the woods cried out in alarm as they instinctively felt suffocation all of a sudden. This was a showdown they couldn't meddle in. It was same terror they would experience in case a bomber aircraft drops a bomb over them.
They believed that Jiang Xiu would be on the losing side but never expected he would walk out of the woods completely unharmed. The ease with which he did so gave off a domineering aura.
Since he was safe and sound, the person who flew out just now was no doubt the perpetrator.
"H-How's this possible?!"
Shaman Zhang Xiaoling's eyes grew wide open. This demonic thing had lived for several centuries and was quite powerful. The ancestors of his Zhang family had researched for centuries yet were unable to find a method to deal with him. He was appalled by Jiang Xiu's strength which enabled him to deal with such a monster so easily.
"This is Mr. Jiang's strength?"
Secretary Gu and Wu Rong were already staring at this scene with awe.
They saw that thing which flew out of the woods fall to the ground. It was a sinister visage with black ink-colored smoke emitting from its body. Gray hair reached till its waist, making it look more demon-like as it spread out.
"RROOOOAAARRR!"
He issued a beast-like snarl which gave goosebumps to the people who heard it as it crawled up from the ground. He appeared to be in pain but seemed angrier.
"You have enraged this Deity."
Boom!
His body pounced ahead like a cheetah, while at the same time, the black smoke in his body rushed out, making his stature 3 m tall.
Black smoke permeated all over his body, gushing out from him as his gray hair rose up like a flame.
"OH MY GOD!"
Sister Li screamed after seeing this kind of a monster.
Ming Lun had already reached in front of Jiang Xiu by now.
"You shall experience the might of the Yin God Body."
A horn sprouted out from his forehead and his body was covered by scales which were slightly discernible within the black smoke. It seemed as if an ancient demonic god had descended to awe the entire world.
"Monster…"
Boss Wang shouted.
"Receive death!"
Jiang Xiu had already seen a body like this. The body which he had evolved to was more thorough than the Wang Ancestor's and approached a God more.
"Hah!"
Jiang Xiu waved his hand, sending an incorporeal sword wave out, which spread out like a crescent moon towards the front. If it were a month or two earlier, he wouldn't have been able to use such a move as his Godhead was too weak then, but now, his 27 divine regalia could support him to use the Heaven Treading Sword Art. The wave traveled quite slow initially, but it reached in front of Ming Lun all of a sudden.
"Boom!"
A loud sound resounded in the sky as the two powers collided violently. It seemed as if two sea waves had crashed into each other, creating an astonishing disturbance.
The black smoke got cut into two halves in front of everyone as if the entire world has had been displaced.
"Why do you have such a powerful divine force?"
Ming Lun cried out in alarm.
His body got sliced into two halves along with the black smoke as well.
"A Yang God's power isn't something you can imagine."
The difference between a Ying God and Yang God of equal ranks was akin to the difference between a breath and a punch.
"RROOOOARRRR!"
Black smoke poured out of his body unceasingly along with his painful screams. His damaged body healed to its former condition after that.
"Hahaha…"
"Didn't this Deity say it before? This Deity is unkillable."
Yin God's naturally had their perks.
The surrounding people felt a chill when they saw this scene. They couldn't fathom how such a person could be killed.
"In the ancestral writings of my family, it's written that this monster is an Evil Spirit which can't be killed by common powers." Zhang Xiaoling phrased the words left behind in the notes of his ancestor.
"What should be done then?" Boss Wang asked in alarm.
Zhang Xiaoling shook his head, "Nothing. Three generations of my ancestors have researched it for a century but couldn't find any means. We can only deal with it if we have a method to do so."
"Though he's strong, his strength is useless against an undying Evil Spirit."
"Heed my words. Withdraw 500 m from here and also evacuate the patients in the hospital or else the consequences will be dire."
…
"Brat, the game is over."
Ming Lun's eyes gleamed with an ominous green light. His entire being turned sinister as he pounced towards Jiang Xiu.
"You're right, it's over!"
Jiang Xiu moved towards him by taking powerful steps, seeming as if a spring had appeared under his feet as he soared to the skies.
10 m!
5 m!
The two of them were about to run into each other.
2 m!
Boom!
Jiang Xiu suddenly sent a punch out, releasing an energy pulse from it like an artillery shell. The surroundings seemed to twist due to the explosive burst of power and the black smoke covering the entire region caved in due to that.
After receiving such an attack, Ming Lun's body exploded. His torso, abdomen, limbs, etc… had all blown into little flecks.
A punch had turned him to slag!
What the…
The crowd was planning to flee, but they stopped rigid in their place after witnessing this scene.
Zhang Xiaoling was stupefied.
H-He killed it with a punch?!
"H-He won?"
"Was the monster killed?"
Yet in the next moment, the black flecks had converged together like a hurricane and started forming into Ming Lun's figure with speed visible to the naked eye.
"As I thought, this Evil Spirit is unkillable. It's going to retake shape."
The crowd became silent before it could even feel happy.
"Brat, it's too early to feel happy."
"Didn't this Deity already say that you can't kill me?"
Jiang Xiu laughed in response. "You're too naive. This Deity didn't punch you to kill you but rather to shatter you because your appearance is too ugly. It really spoiled this Deity's appetite."
"What?"
A smile rose up on Jiang Xiu's face. He suddenly opened his mouth and sucked in. In front of him, Ming Lun, who still hasn't taken form completely, got attracted by this suction and got compressed into fine soul strings. Only when he was about to enter Jiang Xiu's mouth did he realize that Jiang Xiu's genuine intentions were to swallow him.
"AAAAHHHHH…."
He neither had the time nor the power to resist.
The voice stopped after this scream as Jiang Xiu had swallowed him whole.
Everything had come to an end.
The crowd wondered whether they were witnessing a legend as only in those legends did God devour evil spirits. The scene before their eyes was the exact same as those myths.
"The Evil Spirit got devoured by Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Xiu wiped his mouth sloppily as if pondering over the flavor. In fact, there was no flavor at all. The God Devouring Art could swallow a True Yin God, let alone a fake one.
Ming Lun's spiritual energy got absorbed by Jiang Xiu immediately. A millennium-old soul was naturally stronger than the two souls he had devoured before. It felt like as if he had taken millennium-old ginseng, making his body feel rejuvenated. A buzzing sound came out from his body. The Divine Race bloodline had activated again and surpassed the barrier into the next Awakening.
The no. of divine regalia on his arm numbered 30 now.
His body trembled immediately after that due to another Awakening.
The 31st one had appeared.
He had Awakened twice!
All his efforts were finally bearing fruit. The 1st pattern of the divine regalia was becoming clearer now. It seemed to resemble an ancient character. Jiang Xiu judged that it might be an incantation note.
An incantation note was the most potent spell. In fact, the shorter the incantation, the stronger it is. It wasn't due to the curse but rather the awe. In those days, The Shadow Emperor had just taken a glance back to softly speak one word to eliminate a ten million strong army of the Void Dragon God.
And the first divine regalia pattern was comprised of 31 regalia. Jiang Xiu could easily imagine the effect it would take when he spoke that incantation note.
"What…"
Zhang Xiaoling was wholly dumbfounded as he gazed at Jiang Xiu as if he was looking at a monster. The Evil Spirit which had killed his three ancestral generations got swallowed by Jiang Xiu just like that.
The entire fight seemed to be in Jiang Xiu's favor right from the beginning as he crushed the opponent and quickly took care of him. Zhang Xiaoling felt it was funny that he had asked everyone to withdraw. He felt as if he was clown jumping up and down.
"Mr. Jiang won?"
Secretary Gu was dumbstruck. His mind had turned blank. All of this which he had witnessed seemed like a legend.
