Chapter 2024: The Sect Leader

Jiang Tianhes voice was extremely loud, clearly heard in the ears of everyone in Xingluo City. He was arrogant. There was nothing he would not say to please the Blackdemon Realm.

Who cares when he had the backing of the Darkdemon Realm. He would not be afraid, even if Zhang Ruochen were to return.

Shangguan Que, are you not going to reveal yourself when you see me coming?

Du Mosheng walked in the air, step by step, towards the sacred hill at the center of the Saint King Que Palace.

Boom!

Just then, a majestic aura of righteousness rose from the top of the sacred hill. It turned into stars in the air and struck at Du Mosheng.

There was a sense of derision in Du Moshengs eyes. This thing youre trying to pull here, it gets old.

As he spoke, Du Mosheng performed a palm strike with monstrous demonic energy gushing out of his body. It went straight to meet the stars transformed from the majestic aura of righteousness.

Those stars exploded one after another, failing to withstand the attack of demonic energy.

Then, the demonic energy turned into a frightening torrent, triggering the mighty power of heaven and earth to sweep at the sacred hill.

Meanwhile, there was a powerful aura of righteousness surging on the sacred hill, trying to resist the demonic energy.

After finally dissolving the demonic energy, the vigorous and majestic aura of righteousness thinned out.

Shangguan Que appeared on the top of the sacred hill, his face pale, breathing heavy.

Seeing Shangguan Que, Du Mosheng burst into laughter. It seems that the rumors are true. Shangguan Que, you are now old and no longer at your peak. So much for a Saint King of Confucianism of 800 years ago. Im disappointed. Seeing you living such a painful life, let me help you out!

Du Moshengs eyes looked ruthless as he reached out a hand and raised a finger with hundreds of thousands of Precept of the Finger emerged, forming an extremely sharp demonic light.

This was a Demonic Godslayer Finger, an intermediate-level sacred technique from the Demonstone Engravings. Its power was extremely amazing.

With Du Moshengs attainment in the demonic technique, he performed a Demonic Godslayer Finger that many Heavens Reach powerhouses could not defeat.

On the battlefield of merit, Du Mosheng once performed a Demonic Godslayer Finger, killing a Heavens Reach powerhouse from the Infernal Court on the spot.

The arch patriarch.

Shangguan Yong was furious. He rushed toward the top of the sacred hill at once.

How could he not see Shangguans condition at the moment? He was extremely weak. He would surely die if Demonic Godslayer Finger hit him.

Just that at his flying speed, no way he could outmatch the speed of Du Moshengs Demonic Godslayer Finger.

The demonic light beam struck as if lightning as a sneer flashed across Du Moshengs eyes as if he had seen the demonic light puncturing Shangguan Ques skull.

Just when everyone thought that Shangguan Que was bound to die, a shadow appeared out of thin air in front of Shangguan Que, casually reaching out a hand to catch the incoming demonic light.

With just the squeeze of a hand, the demonic light shattered into an extremely condensed demonic energy. It struggled desperately but could not get away from the hand.

Zhang-Zhang Ruochen!

Horror filled Jiang Tianhes eyes, and he stepped back involuntarily.

A moment ago, he was still saying that Zhang Ruochen had gone into hiding. Now Zhang Ruochen had appeared in front of him.

Apparently, Zhang Ruochen must have been in Xingluo City a long while ago. So Zhang Ruochen must have heard what he said just now.

Jiang Tianhe kicked himself in the head upon thinking of that. Speaking of the devil, here he was.

Meanwhile, King Haiming, Xu Jie, and Mo Qianqius expression collapsed as Zhang Ruochens appearance was totally out of their calculation.

For some reason, they had a bad feeling about it.

Its the sect leader! The leader is in Xingluo City. Oh, thank heavens!

Elder Yuan Zhou could not be more excited, his eyes locked on to Zhang Ruochen with a hope rekindling in his heart.

Shangguan Xianyan looked at the stalwart figure in mid-air, emotions filling her eyes. It reminded her of the things that happened in the past and threw her off balance for a moment.

She still remembered when Zhang Ruochen was disguised as Gu Linfeng and joined the Sect of the Blood God. His cultivation base was not as good as her, but it did not take long before he left her in the dust. Zhang Ruochen had also turned the tide in the battle of Moyou Valley. Or else, the Sect of the Blood God would have been wiped out entirely.

Thinking of the time when she wanted to make Zhang Ruochen her enemy made her feel how ridiculous she was.

Damn it! How come Zhang Ruochen is here?

Du Mosheng quietly cursed in his mind.

As much as he was very confident of his strength, he was not so sure at this moment. Zhang Ruochens cultivation base was not as high as his and not even close to the pinnacle of Precept Domain, but in actual combat, he might not be Zang Ruochens match.

Du Mosheng was crazy, but he was also very self-aware.

When he saw Zhang Ruochen, the first thought that came to his mind was to flee.

With no hesitation, Du Mosheng transformed into shocking demonic energy and fled.

My lord, take us with you! King Haiming and three others called out in desperation.

However, Du Mosheng had no intention of taking them with him.

Thats it.

For a moment, this thought came to mind.

Not that they did not want to flee. But their bodies had stiffened, unable to move.

And they knew very well that they had zero chance to escape in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Where are you thinking of going?

Along with the voice, Zhang Ruochen appeared in front of Du Mosheng out of thin air.

A ruthless light flashed in Du Moshengs eyes. Here goes nothing!

While speaking, Du Mosheng cast out a demonic ruler with inscription patterns on the surface, releasing a terrible demonic power.

The demonic ruler that contained over 90,000 inscriptions was a Ninth Radiance Thousand-Inscription sacred artifact. Right now, the full strength of the Ninth Radiance was being unleashed.

At this time, the strange vortex behind Du Mosheng had emerged above Zhang Ruochen. It quickly spun and released a terrible suction force to swallow Zhang Ruochen.

But Zhang Ruochen looked nonchalant. He casually performed a punch to strike at the demonic ruler.

Craaaack!

The demonic broke apart in the middle.

How is this possible?

Du Mosheng saw what happened and was beyond shocked.

That was a Ninth Radiance Thousand-Inscription Supreme sacred artifact, yet it could not even withstand a random punch from Zhang Ruochen. How terrible was the power of Zhang Ruochens punch?

If this punch hit him, it could have blown his body apart in an instant.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Ruochen shook his arms, and the Supreme Saint-class dragon and elephant souls emerged. It came as a horrifying vision, as a powerful pressure spread.

The demonic vortex that enveloped Zhang Ruochen collapsed, unable to withstand such terrible pressure.

I cant believe it!

Du Mosheng trembled quietly. He could not help it. He knew long ago that Zhang Ruochen was powerful, but it was not until he was fighting Zhang Ruochen in person he realized how terrific he was.

Without waiting for Du Mosheng to respond, Zhang Ruochen reached his hand out and grabbed the air. The space around Du Mosheng solidified, immobilizing him on the spot, as though a gigantic hand had caught him.

The next moment, Du Moshengs power was entirely suppressed. He was no different from ordinary people now.

There was a touch of bitterness and sadness in Du Moshengs eyes. He had never thought that he would end up this way.
