Admiring the Moon

While relying on his speed advantage to launch a full-scale attack on Mengying, Si Ming also used garbage to provoke her emotions, driving her into madness and causing her to completely lose her composure.

Although anger allowed Mengying to briefly unleash his potential, it also caused him to lose his rational judgment. Moreover, even if he unleashed his potential, he was still inferior to Si Ming in every aspect. After exchanging thirty moves, his internal energy suddenly stagnated, indicating that his Demon Power was exhausted.

"In chaotic times, order is lost, the universe is afflicted, and a furious roar echoes from the clouds, purging the Heavenly Dao!"

Si Ming slapped away the demon halberd, then seized an opening and thrust his Vermilion Flame Sword One Sword like lightning, piercing through Mengying's chest.

The next moment, Mengying's figure dissipated into a swarm of insects, trying to avoid the attack, but Si Ming, who was prepared, took a deep breath and roared out the Kui Drum Thunder Sound. The fierce yang energy swept in all directions, and all the insects were hit by the thunderous sound. After a violent tremor, the fake insects exploded in mid-air, and the only real insect was forced to reveal its true form.

Don't think you can escape from me a third time using the same tricks!

For any enemy that Si Ming had fought but failed to kill, he would afterwards think about how to counter their martial arts. Relying on his vast reserves of martial arts knowledge, he had never encountered a situation that he could not counter.

Last time, he fought four opponents alone and knew he had no chance of killing them. Since Mengying was good at escaping, he deliberately hid and did not expose himself, all for the purpose of delivering the final blow at this moment.

Si Ming brandished his sword, unleashing raging flames and the sharp cry of the Vermilion Bird. His overwhelming power soared into the sky, and it seemed his ultimate move was about to be unleashed.

"Burning Heaven and Earth, Turbidifying the Three Pure Ones!"

Seeing that Mengying was in imminent danger, Huang Yan, who was not far away, immediately activated the power he had secretly accumulated, condensed it into a protective Gang Qi to disperse the sword Sword Qi, and then unleashed a giant dragon of Pale Flame that turbided the earth, fire, water and wind, roaring as it charged toward Si Ming.

"We've been waiting for you, Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"

Chapter 826 Moon Appreciation

Although Huang Yan's ultimate move was powerful, it had not exceeded Si Ming's limit. The moment he made contact with the Flame Dragon, Si Ming's hands moved like yin and yang, and with the corresponding footwork, he spun around in place, completely dissolving the Flame Dragon's form and turning it into a huge fireball.

This move did not contain that annoying effect of burning spiritual energy. A question flashed through Si Ming's mind. At this critical moment, there was no time to think about it. Accepting, transforming, strengthening, and returning were already instinctive reactions. He immediately used the subsequent steps in one go.

The enhanced ultimate move slammed into the Demon King, Mengying, who had no time to dodge. The moment it hit, the fireball exploded. The expected explosion did not occur. Instead, countless beautiful feathers, like works of art, fluttered out.

These feathers burned in the air, transforming into fire dragons that roamed everywhere. At the same time, a sudden gale arose, covering the sky and the earth, and together with the feathers, it transformed into a fire storm that ravaged the mountains below, uprooting towering trees and sweeping all the soil into the air, scraping off a layer of the ground as if it had been tilled by a giant hoe.

A purple circular area suddenly appeared at the site of the fireball explosion, generating immense suction that drew everything within a ten-mile radius inward. The purple area burned at temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, approaching the core temperature of a nuclear explosion.

Mengying desperately tried to escape, but he was already exhausted and could not escape. He was also forcibly pulled back by the fire dragon and fell into the purple domain with an unwilling expression. His body was annihilated inch by inch as if the atoms were disintegrating.

A moment later, the purple domain dissipated, the fiery dragons flying all over the sky disappeared, the sky was clear and the earth was calm, the air was unusually fresh, as if all the turbid things in the world had been burned away, only the terrain around the mountains had turned into plains, proving that a fierce battle had just taken place.

"Such an unimaginable change! Is it because the Military God also uses fire-attribute True Qi, which reacts chemically with my Blazing Sun True Qi, further enhancing it? Or perhaps, he uses cold flames while I use blazing flames, resulting in a yin-yang interaction?"

Despite having personally performed the move, Si Ming had not anticipated such a transformation. After witnessing it firsthand, a flash of inspiration seemed to pass through his mind, as if he were about to comprehend a new move. Unfortunately, this inspiration was too weak to bring about a qualitative change, and in the end, only a vague impression remained.

"Forget it, now's not the time to think about these things. So, the Military God really did escape?"

Si Ming looked around and used his spiritual sense to search, but still couldn't find Huang Yan. However, he wasn't surprised. If he were in Huang Yan's situation, he would have taken the opportunity to escape as well. With Huang Yan's intelligence, it was impossible for him to lack even this basic judgment.

Si Ming set his sights on Mengying rather than the Military God in this battle. In addition to having prepared a method to counter Mengying's Cultivation Body, he also thought that Mengying was much more impulsive and easier to provoke than the God of Military God. For a cunning old fox like the Military God who could endure for years to achieve his goals, refusing to back down was just a basic skill. Taunting his Fist Intent might not be effective against him. Targeting the Military God would likely result in not killing either of them.

Even if one could completely defeat the opponent in terms of strength, killing a top-tier Spirit Transformation expert would not be an easy task; a detailed plan would be necessary.

"Damn it, Senior's halberd is gone too. It seems it was caught in the explosion and melted from the high temperature..."

Thinking of this, Si Ming suddenly remembered something. Last time when he was besieged, he had already used the move "Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars" and severely injured the female Demon King. It could even be said that this move was the turning point of that battle and must have left a deep impression on everyone. With the wisdom of the Military God, we should not ignore the possibility that he might use the same trick again.

Just as Si Ming was pondering the strange occurrences, he heard a low groan. It was Xing Daozhuang waking up from his unconsciousness. He quickly used his lightness skill to come to his side and asked, "Senior, are you alright?"

Xing Daozhuang opened his eyes, glanced at Si Ming, then looked up at the traces of battle behind him, and said weakly, "It seems you came to save me in time."

Si Ming felt ashamed. He should have known better than to show off in front of Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue. If he had come earlier... Xing Daozhuang would probably still have been seriously injured, but the situation would definitely be better than it is now.

"It seems that even Heaven doesn't want me to die as a hero, and wants me to continue living in this world. Is this a reward or a punishment?" Xing Daozhuang's lips curled into a complicated smile.

Si Ming, "Senior, your injuries are severe. I'll take you to Medicine King Valley first to find a doctor to treat you."

Xing Daozhuang stopped him, saying, "There's no rush. Precisely because my injuries are severe, a little more time won't make a difference. Even with the best treatment, it will take three to five years to recover. And even after the injuries heal, my Cultivation Body will inevitably suffer damage and decline. The most urgent task is to stabilize people's hearts and let them know that the Demon Race's conspiracy has not succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Si Ming was filled with awe. At such a time, he disregarded his own life and safety, putting the greater good first. Such noble sentiments were truly admirable and moving. He was indeed an outstanding person, a role model for the world, and an inheritor of the spirit of Mohist School.

What does the senior want to do?

"Transfer some of your True Qi to me; I need to feign a minor injury."

"I wonder if Mad Ink managed to save anyone. I hope he makes it in time. Fellow Daoist Xing, you must hold on!"

Lord Yunxia is a disciple of Daoist School, not Daoism believer, and has never believed in gods in the past, but at this moment she couldn't help but pray to the Three Pure Ones, hoping to protect Xing Daozhuang and keep it safe.

"They're here! Marshal Xing and Mad Ink are back!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Are you sure it's the two of them, and not Demon Race pursuers? If it's the latter, we should run now."

"Who has good eyesight and high cultivation level? Please help confirm."

Lord Yunxia quickly looked in the direction everyone was pointing and saw that there were indeed two black dots on the horizon. She quickly circulated her True Qi into her eyes and looked closely. Sure enough, it was Si Ming and Xing Daozhuang.

"That's great..." Lord Yunxia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her legs go weak and almost collapsing to the ground.

A moment later, Si Ming helped Xing Daozhuang to where everyone was resting. Lord Yunxia hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "How are your injuries, fellow Daoist?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. It will recover after some rest."

Observing Xing Daozhuang's condition, everyone noticed that although he looked unwell and his limbs were weak, his energy was not lacking. He did not seem to be seriously injured, but rather exhausted from overexertion. Considering that he had protected everyone's escape and fought the Military God and the Demon King all the way, it was reasonable for him to be exhausted. So, a barrage of flattery was poured out, praising Xing Daozhuang's unparalleled skills and regarding the Military God and the Demon King as clowns, or praising Si Ming for his lightning-fast speed and swift emergency rescue.

If Lord Yunxia were to step forward to examine the pulse at this moment, she would immediately discover that Xing Daozhuang was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, relying solely on the True Qi transmitted by Si Ming to hold it up. It was like a dilapidated house, with its walls and pillars riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse, only held up by a large crane to prevent it from crumbling.

However, since men and women are different, and especially with Si Ming supporting her, Lord Yunxia could not approach and could only observe with concern from the side.
