Great Luo Killing Qi

Chen Tong noticed and immediately calmed himself down. "Sorry, I lost control just now. Are you two all right?"

"We're fine!" Both women shook their heads.

"That's good." Chen Tong's expression turned resolute. "Then..." His eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked toward the empty air. He slowly reached out his left hand, and a flash of white light appeared. It transformed into a gigantic white palm in midair and slammed toward the void. The next moment, a shadowy figure was blasted down, followed by a white palm!

"Boom!!"

The enormous palm slammed into the ground, sending waves of air surging throughout the entire back mountain.

Chen Tong suddenly curled his fingers. The shadowy figure that had been smashed into the ground was immediately pulled up and suspended in midair, struggling incessantly.

"Commander! That's the commander!" The demons shouted when they saw him.

"Men, if you're not afraid to die, follow me and rescue the commander!" one of the demon leaders yelled.

"Rescue the commander! Rescue the commander!"

"Charge!"

The demons surged through the air, kicking up clouds of dust across the ground.

The two women were both startled by the sight. It wasn't that they couldn't handle them, but the sheer scale of it had truly frightened them.

"Hmph!" Chen Tong turned his head, his gaze going cold once more. The pressure of a Great Unity expert swept over the charging demons like a tidal wave. The demons that had been flying through the air were instantly crushed to the ground, unable to move.

"How terrifying are Grand Unity Divine Immortals? Just one look from him has left so many demons unable to fight back." Bing Xue was truly stunned by Chen Tong's power. She couldn't help sneaking a glance at her elder sister, only to see that her expression hadn't changed.

"Kid, our ancestor won't let you get away with this!" The Green Pattern Humanoid Demon, pinned in midair, glared at Chen Tong with resentment and unwillingness.

"Originally, I only wanted to rescue someone and leave. I couldn't be bothered to take issue with West Phoenix Mountain. But..." Chen Tong's expression gradually turned cold, and streams of red killing qi erupted from his body!

The blue-and-white sky transformed into a dark red space. That oppressive force, which made souls tremble, directly affected the laws of the surrounding space. This was the killing qi of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, after all. Its terrifying might was no less than the end of the world.

"Since Tathagata isn't at Spiritual Mountain, and you're all so fond of courting death, then I'll turn this West Phoenix Mountain into Hell Mountain!"

As soon as Chen Tong finished speaking, his killing qi grew more and more violent. At last, it took shape, gathering into an evil god who seemed to have come from the depths of the netherworld, looking down upon the vast land below.

"Big sister, I'm scared!" Bing Xue clung tightly to Bing Lin.

"Don't be afraid. It'll be over soon."

At that moment, all the powerful immortal palaces, sacred lands, divine sects, immortal islands, and temples located nearby looked toward West Phoenix Mountain.

"This killing qi is... the killing qi of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! And that direction is... West Phoenix Mountain." Far away, atop Kunlun Mountain, two Daoists sat upright and gazed into the distance. Similar exclamations rang out in places across the land.

At the back mountain of West Phoenix Mountain, Chen Tong had arrived beside the Green Pattern Humanoid Demon. The demon had lost all of his earlier defiance and stared at Chen Tong as if he were a ghost.

"Didn't you say I was a lowly mortal?" Chen Tong said coldly. "Then today I'll show you just how terrifying a lowly mortal's fury can be."

Chen Tong raised his left hand and clenched it. The several-hundred-zhang-tall evil god formed from killing qi suddenly roared at the heavens, shaking the skies. Then its two enormous fists drew back, gathering strength. It seemed that if this punch fell, the world would be left without land. The whole of West Phoenix Mountain, along with hundreds of miles of land beyond it, trembled incessantly.

"Stop!"

Two urgent, elderly voices suddenly rang out. Chen Tong sneered. "You've finally come out!"

Two figures flashed in front of Chen Tong. They glanced at the Green Pattern Humanoid Demon, who was now only a soul, then turned to look at Chen Tong.

"Why have you done this to West Phoenix Mountain?" The voice was detached, carrying no emotion—only a question.

Chen Tong glanced at them without replying. He flicked a finger, sending a streak of light straight into their minds. A moment later, their expressions darkened, and they exchanged glances.

"Your Excellency, West Phoenix Mountain was indeed in the wrong. But you were the one who trespassed first," Yellow Brow said. "How about this: you can take the person with you, and we'll let you off for destroying our gates and breaking into the mountain. We only ask that you stop."

"Let me off? Stop?" Chen Tong felt as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world. He sneered. "Did you two spend so long in seclusion that it made you stupid? You still naïvely think you can negotiate terms with me. Do you even have the right?"

"You!" The other old man's face flushed with anger, but Yellow Brow immediately held him back.

"Spare those who can be spared. Your Excellency is a Great Unity expert, and so are we. If we really fight, it won't do you any good either. Better to turn hostility into friendship. You could even make two Great Unity Golden Immortal friends in the process. Why wouldn't you?"

"You're wrong," Chen Tong said coldly. "First, you're not human. Second, you're early-stage, while I'm at the peak. Our strength isn't the same."

"You... Do you even know that West Phoenix Mountain serves Buddha Tathagata? If you dare destroy this place, the Buddha Ancestor won't let you off either!" Rat Wolf said furiously.

"You dare threaten me!" Chen Tong looked at him as if he were already dead. "I might as well tell you: never mind that you're Spiritual Mountain's lackeys—even if Old Thief Tathagata were here today, I'd still destroy West Phoenix Mountain."

Chen Tong's divine sense stirred. The evil god, whose punch had already been drawn back, slammed it down with tremendous force. Waves of sound exploded around the descending fist. Before it even landed, the earth had already split apart, and all of West Phoenix Mountain was shaking violently.

"Not good!"

The two men didn't hesitate. The full aura of their early-stage Great Unity cultivation burst out, and they rushed to meet the descending fist.

"Second Brother, form the array! We have to protect West Phoenix Mountain no matter what. This is our cultivation ground!"

"Yes, Big Brother."

The two offered up their respective life-bound treasures: a pair of orange beads. They hurled them toward the descending fist. The beads against the fist were like sand against a boulder—pathetically weak.

But in the next moment, the fist, which should have come crashing down without a doubt, miraculously stopped. Blinding Buddhist light shone beneath the enormous red fist.

"Looks like that old thief really is generous when it comes to winning people over." Chen Tong naturally recognized that the Buddhist light came from Tathagata's power.

"But if you think this little bit of power can stop my killing qi, you're underestimating me." Chen Tong gazed at the enormous evil god, then quietly came to stand beside the two women.

"Are you afraid?" Chen Tong asked. He didn't look at them, but his voice was exceptionally gentle.

"Not at all!" Bing Lin replied at once.

"Thank you." Chen Tong didn't say anything more. He already understood what she meant.
