256: Heaven's Killing Intent; Earth Upended and Sky Overturned

"How did the Longevity Dao Child end up here? Has our plan been exposed beforehand?"

The moment Dou Han recognized Chen Dengming, she was shaken to her core, a feeling of indescribable shock and disbelief jolting her nerves.

She felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance, as if she had suddenly found herself in a vast void, under a blue sky, feeling how small she was compared to the boundless Sky Dome.

Chen Dengming's figure was like a celestial being looking down from the sky; the divine light emanating from his eyes was the light of heaven, and the will contained within that light was the might of heaven.

My will is the Heaven's Will! My heart is the heart of Heaven!

Immortal Celestial Lineage - Heavenly Heart Realm!

In that brief moment of confusion, she suddenly felt an incredibly strong threat approaching, which immediately jolted her awake, and she tried to forcefully dispel the invading Spiritual Energy.

She was, after all, Devil Cultivator at the Golden Core Mid Stage; she wouldn't be so easily subdued and bewitched.

However, as soon as he regained consciousness, he felt a tearing pain in his chest.

Just then, the Soul Guiding Banner floating beside him flew out on its own, releasing a large number of ghostly spirits to protect its master, including even some golden-core ghostly spirits.

With a loud "bang!"

Thousands of Soul Shocking Silk, as thin as transparent silk, swept past, piercing through a group of ghosts, but only grazed Dou Han's thigh.

'Bang'--

Instantly, the robe shattered into pieces, and Flesh and Blood burst open.

Dou Han screamed and appeared dozens of feet away. Her left thigh and buttocks were already Flesh and Blood, and she looked miserable and wretched.

"You missed."

Chen Dengming frowned. Since no new experts had appeared yet, he was completely relieved, knowing that there would be no more experts among the Devil Cultivator.

Just as he was about to slip out of his hiding place, a series of alarming signs suddenly flashed through his mind, and his soul sensed a strong lock-on.

Almost without even looking, his Divine Sense detected Dou Han raising her bow and drawing her arrow.

He immediately dodged aside.

"Boom--"

A black arrow, as thick as a child's arm and radiating a cold, resentful aura, whistled through the air and landed not far from him, embedding itself deeply into the floor tile with a thud. It buzzed and vibrated violently, causing large sections of the stone to crack and filling the air with dust!

But in the next instant, the arrow flew out again on its own, its arrowheads displaying grotesque, monstrous faces with eyes filled with venom, locking onto Chen Dengming as he flew forward, and hurtling away like lightning.

At this moment, Chen Dengming flew towards Dou Han, who was surrounded and protected by a large number of the Soul Devouring Sect Devil Cultivator.

Seeing him charging towards them, the numerous demonic Devil Cultivator Soul Devouring Sect, though terrified, still managed to suppress their fear and immediately manipulated their Yin Soul Blade-like magical Law Artifact to attack from both sides, creating an astonishingly powerful attack.

Chen Dengming maintained his speed, seemingly ignoring the increasingly approaching killing intent from both sides and behind him. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with blue light, emitting a powerful and chilling killing intent.

Boom!

His white hair flew wildly, his robes billowed, his golden core shone brightly, and his eyes shone with a vast, cold blue light as deep as the sky, radiating power and aura stronger than a thousand troops, causing people to lose their courage.

When Heaven unleashes its murderous intent, the world is turned upside down!

Instantly, a large group of Devil Cultivator felt an immense pressure, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them. The killing intent was so strong that it made many people feel as if they were in an ice cellar, making it difficult to breathe. Before they could even regain their senses, they all felt excruciating pain in their bodies.

Chen Dengming transformed into a Golden Light, using the Golden Escape Technique to disappear into the Soul Shocking Silk, creating a massive surge of air that swept past.

But to outsiders, it was just a flash of cold light, and the person was gone.

The Soul Shocking Silk, forged from Shadow-Bearing Gold, was as transparent as nothing, appearing like a surging current of air that instantly passed through the ghosts.

Chen Dengming's mental fortitude completely ignored the impact and howls of these ordinary ghosts. The Soul Shocking Silk then pierced through the Devil Cultivator's body like a sieve, creating a large cloud of blood mist, and screams echoed through the sky.

"Call out!!"

The Soul Reaping Arrow, relentlessly pursuing from behind, pierced through the bodies of numerous Devil Cultivator cultivators along the way.

All of this is a long story, but in reality, it was only a moment after Chen Dengming soared into the air that many Devil Cultivator died in an instant.

Corpses fell from the sky like dumplings, blood spraying like rain, creating a bloody mist.

Such a horrifying scene immediately shocked the Devil Cultivator cultivators who were preparing to surround them, causing them to retreat in terror. They dared not stand up to it and could only retreat, retreat, and retreat again!

Damn it!

Dou Han's pretty face changed, feeling an unprecedentedly strong sense of oppression.

With a wave of her hand, she withdrew the Soul Reaping Arrow. At the same time, she immediately sent a telepathic message to her Senior Brother Lu, who was still engaged in battle. Her beautiful eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and she suddenly shook the Soul-Devouring Banner beside her.

Waaaaah--

A large number of ghostly spirits surged out like a dark cloud, surrounding her figure before disappearing.

Boom!--

Chen Dengming arrived almost instantly, like a surging current of air.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Thousands of transparent, Soul Shocking Silk, radiating an unparalleled sharpness, instantly tore apart countless ghosts, their wails and howls echoing endlessly.

However, the next moment, Chen Dengming had entered a dark and gloomy Formation that resembled a ghost array. He was surrounded by shadowy, menacing ghosts, but Dou Han was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm? Formation? This is somewhat similar to the Yin Ghost Sect's 'Ten Thousand Ghosts Crying Formation'! When the ghosts cry, the world loses its color."

Chen Dengming's heart stirred. He maintained his Golden Escape Technique and was preparing to use his Heavenly Eye to lock onto the enemy's location.

In that instant, two sinister beams of light struck, slamming into the Soul Shocking Silk.

A sneak attack!

One of them contained a cold arrow carrying the spirit of a golden elixir!

Although he was immediately thrown away by the Soul Shocking Silk, Chen Dengming still felt a shock to his mind. Although it did not pose a great threat, it did cause some ripples in his mind.

The instant the ripples were released, it seemed as if the other party also received some kind of signal and sensed his presence.

Chen Dengming sensed the other party's presence almost simultaneously.

If he has a sudden impulse, he can detect the enemy's tracks.

The so-called "heartbeat" is not the beating of the heart, but the fluctuation of the soul.

The two attacked simultaneously in an instant.

"A stunning display of divine power!"

Chen Dengming's Divine Sense transformed into a ring of cold, shimmering Silver Light, which struck a certain spot.

However, the countless ghosts around him, including the two golden-core ghosts, seemed to transform into black arrows, covering the sky and all rushing towards the core of the Soul Shocking Silk to which he was attached.

This change happened in the blink of an eye, faster than thunder.

Countless ghostly arrows resembled an invincible tornado; at first glance, they appeared individually vulnerable, but their collective attack concealed astonishing power.

After a deafening roar, the rumbling sounds continued incessantly.

The Soul Shocking Silk were shattered by the countless arrows, and a large number of ghostly spirits perished as a result.

Chen Dengming was forcibly forced out of the state of the Golden Escape Technique.

But in the instant before that, Dou Han had also been attacked by Chen Dengming's Divine Sense power containing the Human Immortal Way Power, and was forced to leave her body with a muffled groan.

Her Divine Sense was compromised by the power of the Dao, and she was completely unable to seize the opportunity to launch a series of attacks against Chen Dengming.

Both were hit by each other's attacks simultaneously.

The former suffered Divine Sense and was in a daze.

Chen Dengming was merely forced to reveal himself.

He immediately let out a long howl, his eyes gleaming with blue light as he locked onto Dou Han!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!

Countless Soul Shocking Silk shrieks coalesced into a long blade, instantly tearing apart countless ghosts as he moved, flashing past like lightning!

"Not good!"

Dou Han instantly snapped out of her dazed state, her pupils contracting sharply.

She only saw a phantom rushing towards her at high speed, arriving with the wind. The next moment, the almost transparent blade tip rapidly magnified before her eyes. The intense sense of crisis made her heart clench.

"No!!"

As soon as her outer robes and the surrounding ghostly spirits stirred, they transformed into a protective barrier.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body shuddered, and blood droplets mixed with bits of flesh exploded from his body like a blood mist, splattering all over his head and face.

She looked down in disbelief and despair.

His magnificent chest was gone, pierced by a hole nearly half a foot wide. His heart and lungs were gone, his Flesh and Blood, and excruciating pain spread throughout his body.

Before I could think any further, a sudden pain shot through my head.

A streak of blood suddenly appeared on her smooth forehead and half of her alluring cheek, then slid down, revealing a transparent blade tip.

Chen Dengming appeared behind Dou Han, casually drawing his broadsword. A spray of blood splattered out, completely eliminating the possibility of the other party self-destructing their golden core.

Golden Light flashed within his body, and his soul, clutching the illusory golden elixir, flew out in a panic. Countless yin spirits roared and pounced upon him, ready to devour him.

Chen Dengming suddenly summoned the Soul Guiding Banner, and the instant he shook the banner, he absorbed Dou Han's soul into it.

Then, with a flick of the blade, the other person's Storage Bag flew into his hand.

He was about to unleash his Divine Sense to dispel the surrounding evil spirits.

"Junior Sister Dou! Senior Brother is here!!"

Just then, a majestic and furious roar came from outside the rolling hordes of ghosts.

Chen Dengming snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with blue light, and he instantly locked onto the Golden Core cultivator rushing in from outside. The moment he charged forward, he let out a long roar, like Dragon's Roar in a deep valley, scattering the Yin spirits from all directions.

He raised the broadsword in both hands, and suddenly a flash of Silver Light appeared, followed by a surge of sword energy.

Like Rainbow Bridge collapsing, or the Milky Way turning upside down, it crashed down with a deafening roar towards the people coming from outside!

Divine Ability — Raging Dragon Rises from Mount Qingqiu!

The vast horde of ghosts dispersed wildly, like dark clouds torn apart by a pale blue lightning bolt.

A fierce and aggressive force was revealed, directly confronting Lu Hu who was charging in from outside.

Just as Lu Hu was rushing to the rescue, intending to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, he suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of danger emanating from the surging horde of ghostly spirits that were rapidly illuminating with brilliant light.

In that brief moment, less than a tenth of a breath, he could faintly hear the wind whistling as the blade sliced through the air, the chilling aura emanating from the blade's force was bone-deep, and the terrifying force of the Blade Intent was almost enough to split his body in two.

"Oh no! Who is this person? How can he be so ferocious?"

He felt a sense of fear and, in a flash, tried to retreat, quickly raising Defense Magic Item in front of him.

The next moment!

A flash of Silver Light, and suddenly everything in front of him turned white. In an instant, it was as if his eyes had been struck by lightning, and he could see nothing.

Then came a deafening explosion accompanied by an intense pressure.

The external Defense Magic Item were instantly blasted apart, and under the impact of the enormous force, they were uncontrollably separated from the body.

But the Silver Light blade in front of them also paused at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist! Let's talk this out!"

In his shock, Lu Hu quickly sent out his Divine Sense and retreated rapidly. In the instant he made a hand seal, a large number of Yin Souls within the Soul Banner were about to condense into a demonic face.

But at that moment, a furious shout came from behind, and the injured Dragon Transformation Sect from the Dragon Transformation Sect charged in, seemingly even more ferocious after his injury, with an astonishing aura.

Lu Hu couldn't help but groan. He had no choice but to quickly point behind him. The evil ghost face formed from the Yin spirit roared and pounced on the Dragon Transformation Sect of the Dragon Transformation Sect behind him.

At the same time, he made a hand seal and used Ghost Shadow Escape. In a flash, he was about to transform into a ghostly shadow and escape into the void, abandoning all his disciples and his own Soul Guiding Banner, just to disappear immediately.

"You think you can escape from me by fighting two against one?"

Chen Dengming flew over, and with a light laugh, a blue light flashed in his eyes. His Heavenly Eye Swiftly locked onto a certain spot in the void, and a surge of Divine Sense instantly pressed it down.

"Well!"

A painful groan echoed from the void.

A ghostly figure flashed, Lu Hu's figure appeared in an instant.

His expression changed drastically, and he was about to cast a spell.

A sinister, fleshy figure suddenly appeared beside him, holding a single eye that emitted a strange light. It stared at him with a sinister grin and made a soft 'hiss'.

Lu Hu was instantly jolted, feeling a strange Spiritual Energy invading him. His whole body stiffened for a moment, and he stared blankly for a long time.

In that short while, a transparent, cold light flashed through the air.

His head jolted, and half of his head was sliced off, like a watermelon cut open, revealing white and red brain matter.

The excruciating pain hadn't even reached my entire body yet.

Another blade flashed and pierced through his chest, spraying a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, a familiar, eerie wailing swept over him, drawing his soul in.

Soul Guiding Banner!

This series of smooth, ruthless, decisive, and meticulous methods left him still reeling from his death when his soul left his body.

Who I am?

Where am I?

Am I dead?

Who killed me?
