Seizing an Emperor Weapon at Four Extremes

Yan Ruyu nodded gently, indicating that she had taken note.

Jiang Xian turned to Ye Fan and Pang Bo beside him. "All settled. From now on, Yan Ruyu's branch of the Demon Race is an affiliate of our Fenglingyueying Sect."

Having watched Jiang Xian's approach, Ye Fan scratched his head and said, "Brother Jiang, I was thinking about cooperation earlier. Looks like I wasn't thinking big enough."

Jiang Xian said, "No big deal. If you get into trouble in the future, run to Yan Ruyu. There's an Emperor Weapon to back you up. If that isn't enough, call me and let them see what mechanics really mean."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded. "Got it."

They rested there for a while and got to know one another. Jiang Xian rolled his neck and looked at Yan Ruyu. "Princess Yan, let's go meet that Ji Family Divine Body."

Yan Ruyu paused slightly and said, "Young Master Jiang, Ji Haoyue should still be on his way. Don't we need to establish his location first before-"

"No need." Jiang Xian cut her off, his tone casual. "They've already surrounded this place. We can head in any direction and we're bound to run into them. They should find us along the way."

Yan Ruyu nodded, then ordered a full retreat. Soon, the entire encampment sprang into action.

Before long, the group left the Profound Origin Sect and headed west. But before they had even left the Wei Kingdom, they stopped.

Ahead, a purple-robed young man of about twenty stood atop a mountain peak. His aura blended naturally with heaven and earth, making him look transcendent and otherworldly.

A female demon behind Yan Ruyu immediately stepped forward. "Ji Family Divine Body, why are you blocking our path?"

"I heard that the Demon Emperor Descendant was here. Now that my divine body has begun to mature, I've come to seek a match," Ji Haoyue said calmly.

"I think seeking a match is just an excuse. You've really come to seize our race's Saint Weapon," the beautiful middle-aged woman behind Yan Ruyu said sharply. She had overheard Jiang Xian and the others' conversation earlier.

"That's right. My divine body has begun to mature, and I happen to lack a suitable weapon. The Demon Emperor Saint Weapon would be just right. Hand over the Azure Emperor's Weapon, and I'll let you leave." Ji Haoyue's tone was calm, yet carried an air of arrogance, as though no weapon in the world besides the Azure Emperor's Weapon was worthy of him.

Off to the side, Jiang Xian steadily recorded this iconic scene-seizing an Emperor Weapon at Four Extremes. Once he finished recording, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Haoyue frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Jiang Xian reined in his smile, though the corners of his mouth were still turned up. He looked Ji Haoyue up and down, an indescribably teasing look in his eyes.

The aura around Ji Haoyue surged. "Who are you?"

"Jiang Xian, Outer Disciple of the Fenglingyueying Sect." After speaking, Jiang Xian took two steps forward. "Yan Ruyu has already led her demons into becoming an affiliate of our Fenglingyueying Sect, so we certainly can't give you the Demon Emperor's weapon. Since your divine body has begun to mature, how about I spar with you? But I'd advise you to go back where you came from, or you'll be in for a rough time."

"Big words." Ji Haoyue snorted coldly. A jade sea surged, its tides rising and falling. A bright moon slowly rose above the sea, shedding sacred, silvery light and bathing the ridge behind him in a tranquil glow.

Jiang Xian stood where he was, his right hand in his pocket, without so much as budging. He raised his left hand and waved it casually, as though shooing away a fly.

The moon shattered in midair, as though it had encountered an irresistible force, scattering into specks of light that fell across the ground.

Ji Haoyue's pupils contracted slightly. Before he could react, Jiang Xian took a step forward and appeared before him in an instant. He raised his right leg and delivered a side kick.

Ji Haoyue felt an irresistible force strike his chest. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut and slammed into the cliff on the side of the mountain. With a thunderous crash, a deep, human-shaped pit appeared in the rock face. Embedded in the cliff, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura becoming incredibly weak.

"How-how can he be this strong?" The beating left Ji Haoyue questioning his life. Didn't the historical records say that divine bodies swept through the younger generation as soon as they emerged? Why was it different for me?

Jiang Xian lowered his right leg and brushed nonexistent dust off his trouser leg, his tone flat. "Just some roadside nobody. Don't block the way."

Jiang Xian glanced back at Yan Ruyu, his tone casual. "See? I told you we'd run into him just by walking around! But this divine body really is just some random roadside nobody."

Yan Ruyu pressed her lips together, then dipped slightly with a smile. "You're right, young master."

The Ji Family's five elders erupted in fury at the sight.

"How dare you injure our Ji Family Divine Body! Pay with your life!" They immediately brought out their Life-Bound Weapons and charged at Jiang Xian.

Seeing this, Jiang Xian showed no further restraint. He unleashed White Emperor Golden Slash, sending out a streak of golden sword energy that cut all five of them in half at the waist.

"You really don't know when to accept mercy. Do you want to come throw your lives away too?" Jiang Xian turned his gaze toward the three Transcendent Elders in the distance.

As Jiang Xian watched the three elders fly toward him, he sensed that he could trigger his Execution Talent.

Without further hesitation, he used Execution on the three. Execution allowed him to choose between Soul Execution and Whole-Body Execution. Looking at the three before him, Jiang Xian felt he could still put this trash to use, so he used Soul Execution on them.

Before the three elders in the distance could figure out what was happening, they were executed. Their vision went black, and all three collapsed to the ground. Jiang Xian walked over and stored them in the Chat Group's space.

At that moment, Ji Haoyue, lying embedded in the cliff, saw that all the Ji Family Elders had been killed. He hurriedly took out the Void Mirror and was about to activate it.

"I won't kill you. Go back and tell your Ji Family that Yan Ruyu is under the protection of my Fenglingyueying Sect. If you dare trouble her again, I'll pay your Ji Family a visit myself. Slaughtering a few of the old monsters you keep in reserve along the way would be easy enough. Don't think of using an Emperor Weapon against me. You'll only die more horribly." Jiang Xian turned and addressed Ji Haoyue, who was struggling inside the cliff.

At the same time, Yan Ruyu also brought out the Azure Emperor's Weapon, preparing to confront the Void Mirror.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyue gripped the Void Mirror tightly, keeping his eyes fixed on Yan Ruyu and Jiang Xian, wary at heart. He feared that a clash between two Emperor Weapons would cause unpredictable consequences. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and clench his fist, watching the group gradually disappear from view.

After the group had traveled some distance.

"Brother Jiang, why didn't you take down that Purple-Robed Braggart? If you cut the weeds without pulling out the roots, they'll grow back in the spring breeze!" Pang Bo asked curiously from beside him.

Jiang Xian patted Pang Bo on the head and said, "That kid has an Emperor Weapon protecting him. Otherwise, I'd have taken him down long ago."

"So that's why." Pang Bo scratched his head.

Jiang Xian looked at Ye Fan beside him. "Ye Fan, if I really do take down Ji Haoyue in the future, you won't have any objections, will you?"

Ye Fan shrugged indifferently. "Whatever. Everyone from the Ji Family I've met has been outrageously arrogant. They're really annoying. Just do as you see fit."
