Chapter 421: Departure (1)

The white figure’s struggle distorted the blurry black shadow slightly, but no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape.

“Senior, please spare me.” The white figure begged for mercy. “I’m from Orchid Jade Pavilion. Please spare me on its account.”

“Orchid Jade Pavilion? Even more so I can’t spare you.” The blurry black shadow squirmed a few times, and the white figure was minced to pieces before dissipating. “If your obsession can remain indestructible for three years in my stomach, I’ll release you.”

After the white-robed woman was completely pulverized, only a wisp of obsession remained in the black shadow’s body.

The blurry floating shadow looked in the direction of the residence ruins in the distance at Xu Jingming and Mountain Lord Dongming. Then, he disappeared into thin air.

…

In the ruins of the residence.

Xu Jingming was genuinely nervous when he heard Mountain Lord Dongming shout for help, his voice spreading out several kilometers.

If Mountain Lord Dongming’s master was a Heaven Demon, he indeed wouldn’t be a match. He didn’t even have the confidence of escaping, so he was even mentally prepared to establish a new account after being killed by the Heaven Demon.

Huh? Xu Jingming was slightly stunned.

Mountain Lord Dongming—who was enveloped and restrained by the golden net—had a ferocious and confident look, but his expression also stiffened.

With his master’s strength, she could’ve arrived in a step or two. His master was on the street not far away, so it wouldn’t take her long.

“Are you lying to me?” Xu Jingming glanced at Mountain Lord Dongming.

It didn’t look like it. With the other party’s ferocious appearance and confident look in his eyes, Xu Jingming had determined that… Mountain Lord Dongming was filled with confidence when he sought help.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I just need to finish you off.” Xu Jingming didn’t show any mercy. His figure flashed, and his spear easily pushed aside an arm that blocked its path, stabbing into Mountain Lord Dongming’s back.

Five-colored lightning exploded in Mountain Lord Dongming’s main body, destroying the demon body.

“Master.” Mountain Lord Dongming’s eight arms struggled desperately, and he suffered three more strikes before he barely tore through the golden net.

As for Xu Jingming, he had long dodged into the distance and used Inescapable Net again.

Another huge net descended.

Mountain Lord Dongming was aggrieved and furious. He was like prey caught in a net—no matter how much strength he used or how ferocious his methods were, they were useless.

Xu Jingming used Entrapment Net and lightning suppression to constantly injure him with his spearmanship. Wang Cheng’s injuries worsened.

Why hasn’t Master appeared? Mountain Lord Dongming was reeling with anxiety. He had no idea that his master had been wiped out ahead of him, leaving only a wisp of obsession in the stomach of another stronger Heaven Demon.

Mountain Lord Dongming thought that his master was unwilling to help.

Could it be that Master wants me to exploit the demon refinement process to force my breakthrough? Mountain Lord Dongming suddenly thought of a possibility. Master said that even if I’m being refined by a Demon Vanquisher’s mind, my obsession can still win! I can seriously injure the Demon Vanquisher and escape. I can also be nourished by the Demon Vanquisher’s mind and become stronger. Could it be that Master… deliberately made me fall into his perilous state so that I can seek survival amidst death?

Pfft!

The increasingly weakened Mountain Lord Dongming was stabbed in the chest by Xu Jingming’s spear again.

“Master, please do something.” Mountain Lord Dongming begged loudly again as he put up a difficult struggle.

Pu! Pu!

Xu Jingming didn’t stop at all. Five-colored lightning repeatedly exploded in Mountain Lord Dongming’s main body, causing his body to resemble a torn cloth bag.

Many holes appeared, and other than his skin, his body was almost emptied out.

Master… you’re really heartless. Forget it. I’ll have a life-and-death battle with Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming. Mountain Lord Dongming couldn’t maintain his body under the last strike and completely dissipated into demonic aura.

Under the restraints of Inescapable Net, the demonic aura couldn’t escape the five-colored lightning. In the end, only a wisp of obsession remained.

“Entrap!” Xu Jingming took out a jade bottle and placed the wisp of obsession that had zero resistance left into it.

When he successfully made the kill, Xu Jingming felt mentally exhausted. During the battle, he had used Inescapable Net six times and cast Quint-Bolt with his spear 51 times. It consumed a lot of mental strength.

It’s really not easy to kill Mountain Lord Dongming, Xu Jingming thought to himself. It’s really difficult to kill someone at a higher level in the Demon Vanquishing World.

Xu Jingming looked around.

The residence he lived in had long been reduced to ruins in the terrifying battle.

Xu Jingming’s heart didn’t ache. What he cared about were the few maidservants and servants in the residence—Liu Sanya, Gu Yu, Liu Fu, Cheng Daniu, and Aunt Zhang were all dead.

Xu Jingming also looked a few kilometers out.

Dharmic powers circulated in his eyes, and he could clearly see white bones everywhere.

All living beings within a few kilometers were wiped out, and this was because he had implicated them.

Xu Jingming fell silent.

Whoosh.

He saw Uncle Qi rushing over from afar. As a super expert, Wu Qi quickly rushed back.

“Young Master.” Wu Qi was thrilled. After perfectly controlling his entire body, his eyesight was naturally extraordinary. He was also delighted when he saw Mountain Lord Dongming killed.

His young master was getting stronger and stronger.

He had watched his young master grow up. The more outstanding and stronger his young master was, the happier Wu Qi was.

“Uncle Qi.” Xu Jingming nodded.

Wu Qi understood something when he saw his young master’s expression. He looked at the surrounding ruins and sighed softly. “What a pity for Sanya and the others. Young Master, don’t blame yourself. You’ve already done your best.”

Xu Jingming looked at the bones of the countless residents around him. There were young people, old people, and even babies.
