Evil by Nature!

Just then, Ye Jing slowly raised his longsword, the tip pointing directly at Cao Feng. His eyes showed no wavering, only unwavering commitment to justice and hatred for evil. He knew that this strike would not only be a judgment on Cao Feng's crimes, but also a warning to all the cowardly and selfish people in the world.

"Cao Feng, remember, not all mistakes can be forgiven, and not everyone deserves to be saved. You chose this path yourself, so let it all end now." Ye Jing's voice was deep and powerful, as if it were a release for Cao Feng, and also for himself.

With that, Ye Jing swung his longsword down suddenly, a dazzling sword light slicing through the air, aiming straight for Cao Feng's heart. Cao Feng didn't even have a chance to make a sound before collapsing into a pool of blood. His eyes were filled with terror and resentment, but even more so, with regret for his life.

Kou'er witnessed it all. She closed her eyes, tears silently streaming down her face. She knew that the end of this moment was also the beginning of her new life. She looked at Ye Jing with gratitude, her heart filled with respect and appreciation.

Ye Jing sheathed his sword, turned to look at Kou'er, his eyes filled with tenderness and care. "You are free, Kou'er. From today onward, you can start your life anew and find your own happiness."

Kou'er nodded. Although she still felt pain in her heart, she had seen a glimmer of hope. She bowed deeply to Ye Jing, then turned and left, embarking on her new journey.

The stench of blood gradually dissipated in the alley, but Ye Jing's figure seemed to remain there forever. He proved the power of justice with his actions, and reminded everyone that in this complex and ever-changing world, only by upholding one's inner beliefs and principles can one find true self and happiness.

Ye Jing waved his hand!

Everything around us began to disappear!

He understood!

There is absolutely no need to show any mercy to these contaminated people!

Those who can Evil God's Corruption must inherently possess evil within themselves!

Only then will they be Evil God's Corruption!

Ye Jing's wave of his hand was not only a dispelling of the illusion before him, but also an externalization of his inner resolve. He knew that, faced with the corruption of the Evil God, the hearts of those corrupted were already riddled with holes, and their actions were no longer driven by their own hearts, but controlled by an indescribable force. This force was more deadly than any poison, because it eroded the human soul, the most vulnerable and precious part of humanity.

"Wang Huan!" Ye Jing's voice echoed in the empty alley, carrying an undeniable authority. As he called out, a figure appeared from the shadows like a ghost—his prized disciple, Wang Huan. Wang Huan stood tall and straight, his eyes flashing with absolute loyalty and reverence for his master. He quickly came before Ye Jing, bowing and awaiting orders.

"Master, what are your orders?" Wang Huan's voice was deep and powerful, revealing his resilience and decisiveness as a martial artist.

Ye Jing stared at Wang Huan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that this decision was not only a test for Wang Huan, but also a major choice for the entire martial arts world and even the whole world. But he also understood that for the sake of greater justice and peace, he had to make this difficult decision.

"Wang Huan, listen carefully." Ye Jing's voice was heavy and firm. "After this battle, I have become even more aware of the terrifying and cunning nature of the Divine Power. Those who have been corrupted have had their souls completely eroded and become puppets of the Evil God. Their existence is not only a threat to justice, but also a potential danger to innocent lives."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huan's expression changed slightly; he clearly realized the seriousness of the problem. However, he still hesitated, after all, these people were once living, breathing human beings with their own families, friends, and dreams.

"Master, is there no way for us to find a way to save them?" Wang Huan's voice was tinged with resentment and struggle.

Ye Jing shook his head, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and determination. "Wang Huan, you must know that the power of the Evil God is beyond imagination. It is not merely an external erosion, but also an internal corruption. Once the evil in the hearts of those corrupted is ignited, it spreads like wildfire, uncontrollable. If we try to save them, not only will we fail, but we may also drag ourselves into an abyss of no return."

Wang Huan remained silent for a moment, seemingly processing Ye Jing's words.

Finally, he slowly nodded, a resolute light returning to his eyes. "Master, I understand. For justice and peace, we must make the most difficult choice."

"Very good." Ye Jing nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I order you to set off immediately to conduct a thorough investigation of those known and suspected of being Evil God's Corruption. Once discovered, do not hesitate to kill them. Remember, this is not cruelty, but the greatest mercy for this world. We cannot allow the power of the Evil God to continue to spread, and we cannot allow more innocent people to be harmed."

Wang Huan bowed and accepted the order.

Like a cheetah in the night wind, it vanished into the darkness in an instant.

He had a deep understanding of his master's decision, but was also filled with trepidation and determination for the upcoming battle.

The Evil God City, that legendary place filled with darkness and despair, will become his battlefield for upholding justice and protecting the light.

On the street, the wind whistled and creaked, as if countless ghosts were whispering. An indescribable stench permeated the air, a mixture of fear and despair.

Wang Huan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down. He knew that in such an environment, any emotional fluctuation could become a fatal weakness.

He tightened his grip on the longsword, a gift from his master Ye Jing. The blade gleamed with a faint, cold light, as if it could dispel the surrounding gloom.

"The sword of justice will surely sever all evil," Wang Huan murmured to himself.

In the time that followed, Wang Huan cleansed all those who had been Evil God's Corruption!

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court and the Evil God were not idle either.

They knew that Ye Jing had gained momentum, and if they continued to maintain a distant relationship as before, they would likely be defeated one by one!

Therefore, we must unite!

Standing atop the high walls of Town Heaven Pass, Ye Jing gazed intently at the distant horizon.

He felt both trust in his disciple Wang Huan and a sense of unease about the challenges to come.

He had a premonition that the Evil God had definitely joined forces with the Heavenly Court!

The only place the Evil God can go now is the Heavenly Court!

The alliance between the Evil God and the Heavenly Court is no ordinary force, but the forces of justice will never back down in the face of a powerful enemy.

But he wouldn't be careless or underestimate his opponent; the final battle was about to begin!

"Pass down the order to strengthen defenses and prepare for an unprecedented battle." Ye Jing's voice was steady and powerful, echoing throughout the entire Town Heaven Pass.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers trembled, knowing this was the final battle!

Meanwhile, high above the clouds in the Heavenly Court, all the gods gathered together in a solemn atmosphere.
