With a single palm strike, Jiang Ming broke the firmaments’ character and shattered the sword’s radiance.
Another wave of diabolical energy surged and struck Lan Shi, the Nascent Soul expert, killing him on the spot. It was done cleanly without fanfare.
Sima Lang was thunderstruck upon seeing this. Soon, his shock was replaced by endless fear. He shuddered before he forced a smile on his face that looked uglier than if he were to cry. Then, he said, “Senior, this is all a misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding, Senior!”
“Misunderstanding?” Jiang Ming sneered. He might only be at the Dao Seed Realm, but his accumulations, the purity of his mana, and the vastness of his power had already broken the rules of old. Even he was not sure how powerful he was now.
When he had fought Ge Changqing earlier, he did not use any special skills. He only used ordinary skills and less than one-tenth of his actual combat strength when he killed Ge Changqing. One had to remember that Ge Changqing was not an ordinary cultivator. Ge Changqing was from the Sacred Land and was skilled in spells and Special Abilities.
Apart from that, he only needed to be slightly serious to kill Lan Shi in just an instant.
‘I’m f*cking powerful now! I wonder if I can kill a Primal Spirit expert with my current strength…’
Jiang Ming’s ambitions had grown after these battles. He could kill enemies who were one realm ahead of him, but he did think this was anything to be proud of. He would only be proud of himself if he could kill a Primal Spirit cultivator.
“What must I do for you to spare me, Senior?” Sima Lang was on the verge of crying at this moment.
‘F*ck! What should I do?’ Sima Lang cursed inwardly. He had thought that with Lan Shi by his side, he would be able to defend himself even if they could not kill the devil. Alas, Lan Shi proved to be useless; Lan Shi was killed almost as soon as the battle started.
“Senior, I’ll give you everything I have. Please spare me!” Sima Lang threw his dignity away and fell to his knees in the air.
Upon seeing this, the despairing Mu Lei was shocked. ‘You’re an expert, for f*ck’s sake! Why are you kneeling? Sh*t! You have no f*cking dignity!’
Following that, Mu Lei said in a trembling voice, “I-I’m a core disciple of Qingyun Sect. My mother is a Primal Spirit cultivator. My patriarch is Dong Tian. If you kill me, you’ll be hunted down even if you run to the end of the world…”
Bam!
Jiang Ming reduced Sima Lang into a mist of blood with just a palm strike.
Mu Lei stiffened.
“Who will save you now?” Jiang Ming asked frostily. He raised his hand.
Devil Qi surged within a ten-mile radius.
Jiang Ming was about to kill Mu Lei when he saw a streak of golden light shot out of Mu Lei’s forehead before forming a silhouette of a person. It burst forth with tremendous power and blocked Jiang Ming’s palm strike.
“Who dares to harm my son? I’ll make your life a living hell!” a charming woman shouted as soon as she appeared. She had insufferably arrogant air about her, and her killing intent surged to the high heavens as soon as she appeared.
This woman was none other than Mu Shuiyun, Mu Lei’s mother and an expert of Qingyun Sect.
“Mother!” Mu Lei was overjoyed. Then, he pointed at Jiang Ming and viciously said, “It’s him! He killed Elder Ge and the other disciples. He wants to kill me as well! Kill him, Mother! No, capture him alive. I want to torture him for 100 years!”
“Torturing him for 100 years is too light of a punishment for someone who tried to kill you. After I catch him, I’m going to torture him for 10,000 years!” Mu Shuiyun said, “Stand back, Lei. I’ll capture him now!”
“Be careful, Mother!” Mu Lei retreated into the distance.
Jiang Ming’s lips twitched when he saw Mu Shuiyun. ‘D*mn it! They just keep coming! Is Mu Lei truly favored by the heavens? F*ck! I’ll definitely kill him today!’
Swoosh!
The Human Path Records appeared and flipped to a new page.
Name: Mu Shuiyun
Gender: Female
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit
Background: Elder of Qingyun Sect.
Relationship: -98.
Innate Talent: Nine stars (Water Spirit Body)
Status: She’s the former Holy Daughter of Qingyun Sect. Her looks are exceptional. She’s arrogant, obstinate, and proud. In the past, she was captured by a flood dragon while she was cultivating at the sea and went missing for six months. When she returned to the sect, it was discovered that she was with child, but the father of the child remains unknown. As a result, she was stripped of her Holy Daughter title. She dotes on her son greatly. When she heard the rumors of a disciple with the phoenix bloodline in Jiuyang Sect, she sent an elder to ask for the disciple’s hand in marriage with the goal of extracting the phoenix bloodline’s power for her son. She had planted a strand of her Primal Spirit in her son’s sea of consciousness for the sake of safety. She was cultivating when her son awakened her from her cultivation. When her son’s under threat, her Primal Spirit awakened.
‘Wow! A relationship value of -98! How much does she hate me exactly?’
Jiang Ming was shocked by Mu Shuiyun’s innate talent of nine stars as well. She had a Water Spirit Body, which meant that she had a high affinity for water techniques.
Many of Jiang Ming’s questions were answered when he saw Mu Shuiyun’s status. No wonder Mu Lei took his mother’s surname. Mu Lei was an illegitimate child born after his mother was violated.
As expected, Mu Shuiyun was not simple. She was once the Holy Daughter and was now a Primal Spirit expert. With her cultivation base at the Primal Spirit Realm, she could easily rule over an area.
Jiang Ming was slightly excited at the thought of fighting such an individual. However, he also felt slightly disappointed that this was just a strand of her Primal Spirit.
While Jiang Ming was deep in his thoughts, he saw Mu Shuiyun charging toward him.
“Primal Spirit Heart Sword, destroy!” Mu Shuiyun acted decisively. When she learned that Ge Changqing had died, she knew that her opponent would not be a pushover. She was prepared to sacrifice this strand of her Primal Spirit here. She did not hesitate and used her most powerful skill as soon as she attacked.
Mu Shuiyun spun, bursting with a dazzling light that seemed like it would not dim no matter what. Even the moon that shone high in the sky paled in comparison. Following that, the golden light formed a sword. It was a highly concentrated body of energy. In just a moment, it arrived near Jiang Ming’s forehead.
Jiang Ming’s eyes widened as an expression of fear appeared on his face. He hurriedly stepped onto the Akasa network and retreated.
“You mastered a spatial ability? Alas, you’re up against my Primal Spirit Heart Sword. It’s locked onto your aura so you won’t be able to escape!” Mu Shiyin said confidently, “With my Primal Spirit in sword form, its speed is peerless. Based on what I’d sensed, you’re not at the Primal Spirit Realm yet. You might be powerful, but you won’t be able to defend against a Primal Spirit attack! I’ll shatter your sea of consciousness, crush your Dao Seeds, and destroy your cultivation base before I imprison you. After that, I’ll whip you every day to my heart’s content!”
After Jiang Ming stepped into his spatial network to dodge the attack, his mana surged within his sea of consciousness. He was about to cast his Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi when an idea appeared in his mind.
Following that, Jiang Ming stored his Human Path Records in his sea of consciousness, just in case. Then, he appeared in midair, seeming as though he had no intention of dodging.
Swoosh!
The Primal Spirit Heart Sword shot into Jiang Ming’s forehead and stabbed at the barrier around his sea of consciousness.
Mu Shuiyun had assumed it would be easy to breach the barrier, but the sword seemed to have hit an impenetrable iron wall at this moment. The barrier only shook in response to the sword’s attack. Not only did the sword fail to leave a crack on the barrier, but the barrier caused the sword to explode as well.
‘My sea of consciousness is exceptionally tough.’ Jiang Ming sighed in relief inwardly. He had been looking for an opportunity to test his sea of consciousness’ defenses for a long time now. Even if his barrier did not hold, his sea of Consciousness would still be protected by the Human Path Records.
Although the Human Path Records did not have any powerful abilities, it gained some functionalities after his cultivation base improved. It was easy for it to protect his sea of consciousness.
Jiang Ming nodded, satisfied with the result.
“Impossible! How can your sea of consciousness be so tough? How could it withstand my special ability?!” Mu Shuiyin shrieked. Following that, she said threateningly, “Leave my son alone. If you kill him, I swear I’ll hunt you down and tear you into pieces. You won’t be able to run from me! Not only that, I’ll kill everyone related to you! I’ll leave no survivors!”
As Jiang Ming listened to Mu Shuiyun’s threats, he sensed the fragments of the Primal Spirit floating outside his sea of consciousness. With this discovery, another idea appeared in his mind.
Swoosh!
The Human Path Records pulled the fragments of the Primal Spirit into his sea of consciousness. In the next moment, fragmented memories and several Special Abilities appeared in his mind. The fragmented memories were mostly about her son and her cultivation. They were of no value to him. On the contrary, the Special Abilities caught his attention.
Jiang Ming put the matter of the Special Abilities aside for now and looked at Mu Lei who was watching the battle from a distance with a sneer on his face. It was not difficult to tell that Mu Lei was likely fantasizing about the 1,008 ways he could torture him.
Jiang Ming flew over. “How can you smile when your mother is dead?”
The smug smile on Mu Lei’s face stiffened immediately. Then, he said in a horrified tone, “I-impossible! My mother is a Primal Spirit expert!”
“Do you think Primal Spirit experts are impervious to death?” Jiang Ming said tonelessly, “I wonder if anyone else is going to show up to rescue you. Let’s see if your luck holds out against my palm strike!”
With just a palm strike, Mu Lei was quickly reduced to a mist of blood.
Following that, Jiang Ming destroyed all the evidence.
‘This feels great,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself, feeling much more at ease now that he had eliminated a potential threat.
