Chapter 24: The Shameless Scoundrel

  As soon as they clashed, Wang Qian felt the powerful and violent strength of the two Night Demon leaders. Their speed was extremely fast, and their movements were almost like a phantom. He deeply felt that these two Night Demon leaders, relying solely on their physical strength, were far stronger than ordinary First Heaven Great Circle cultivators. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the power of these two Night Demon leaders could be compared to that of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, except that they couldn't cast magical spells or divine abilities, and could only engage in close combat with their physical bodies, which limited the display of their strength.

  Although these two night demon leaders were unmatched in their ferocity, Wang Qian was actually very pleased, because only such a showdown could allow his strength to be fully displayed.

  His bitter sea seal unfolded, ferocious like a violent stormy tide, dense like a hazy fine rain, contradictory yet extremely harmonious. A faint cyan divine light flashed on his body, entwining and binding the two night yaksha leaders together tightly.

  Boom! Boom!

  One after another deafening explosion, in this desolate land extremely abrupt, surging vigor turbulent and unceasing, the surrounding air all became sticky, lost its calmness, as if countless explosives simultaneously detonated within.

  Both sides fought relentlessly, and Wang Qian's excitement grew. He was no longer relying solely on his physical strength to fight, but had already mobilized the divine power from the bitter sea. The cyan divine light illuminated the darkness, shining brightly like a clear blue sky, vast and ancient. In an instant, they had exchanged blows tens of thousands of times, each time with all their might. The force of several tens of thousands of kilograms collided, causing the earth to shake and the heavens to tremble. The two Night Demon leaders emitted a faint red glow from head to toe, their scales becoming even more resilient and indestructible. They let out continuous angry roars, their voices urgent and mournful.

  "As expected of the leader of the Blood Oni, you're able to bring out my full strength. Now go die!"

  Wang Gan let out a long whistle, and the rolling sound waves tore through the air. A visible wave pattern was emitted from his mouth, and his lung power was so strong that it produced an acoustic killing effect. The two night demon leaders were shocked by the powerful sound waves, and their minds were momentarily dazed. In this brief moment, Wang Gan seized the opportunity to display his unparalleled strength. He clasped his hands together, raised them high, and with a single step, he arrived in front of one of the night demon leaders. His hands chopped down fiercely, like an axe opening up the sky, and with a "chi" sound, a fierce killing aura burst out.

  Boom!

  This Rakshasa had just reacted, and before his eyes was a blackness. Subconsciously, he flipped his hands over, in a gesture of holding up the sky, but all this was to no avail. Wang Qian's strike seemed to have come from beyond the heavens, like a divine brushstroke, with power, speed, and momentum all reaching an extreme.

  First, the demon's hands completely collapsed at the moment of contact, with fingernails breaking off, scales shattering, and bones snapping. The sound of cracking continued as King Qian's killing seal landed heavily on its head, instantly turning it into a mess of black and red. Brain matter and blood gushed out, and its neck was broken, leaving it barely human in shape.

  All this happened in an instant, not even a breath was taken, and Wang Qian had already killed the Yaksha. Only then did a loud, piercing sound come, which was terrifying, indicating that his previous killing method had broken the sound barrier.

  The other night demon leader let out a mournful howl, then prepared to escape. His speed was very fast, one foot heavily trampling the ground, a long crack appeared, and his body had already transformed into a red light beam, disappearing tens of meters away in an instant.

  "Want to run? Come and surrender!"

  Wang Qian's aura was majestic, and the series of movements he made just now were all done in one breath. Seeing that the Night Demon wanted to escape, he let out a long whistle again, but this time his body's power was completely restrained. In the dark and mysterious surroundings, he followed a strange trajectory, instantly catching up to the escaping Night Demon leader. With his arm raised like a spear, within a short period of time, he burst forth with a speed that surpassed sound for the second time, like a sharp and cold iron great spear. With a "pu" sound, it pierced into the chest of the Night Demon leader, and his internal organs were all pulverized, all his life force was extinguished.

  The rabbit rises, the crane falls. Wang Jian continuously bursts with divine power, and with a ferocious posture, beheads two night demon leaders. The boiling blood energy slowly subsides, he himself feels weak, and all over his body, his muscles have a sore and numb pain.

  "It seems that my body is still not strong enough, the tempering of muscles and bones is not thorough, the bitter sea seal has made some breakthroughs, but my body cannot fully control it, the speed of explosion is too fast, which gives me a feeling of weakness and pain."

  In an instant, he became clear about his current state.

  He grasped a handful and pulled out two Yu Ming Blood Dans. These were the life essence of that Rakshasa leader, much more powerful than ordinary Blood Rakshas. The life energy was even more concentrated, and on the crimson dan beads, there were threads of golden light floating around, as if they were about to form some sort of mysterious symbol.

  He didn't care too much, directly opening his mouth to swallow it down, using his own powerful digestive ability to digest it directly. He felt the vital energy released was ten times stronger than those blood Dans before, merging into his body, making up for his weakness just now. Even some minor internal injuries on his body were healed instantly. The remaining vital energy merged into his Dan Tian, and with a shake of the bitter sea, all of it was transformed into green divine power.

  Everything happened too fast, and everyone didn't react in time. All they heard were two long whistles from Wang Qian, and then the two extremely powerful Night Demon leaders were killed. Not to mention Wang Hai and his group of Qingyunmen disciples who were fighting, even Zhou Qing, Wang Dao, and others did not expect that when Wang Qian burst out, he would be so terrifying. Those two Night Demon leaders emitted a strong aura all over their bodies, which was something that naturally appeared when one's power reached a certain level. As cultivators, they had powerful souls and could sense it very clearly, but precisely because of this clarity, they understood just how formidable Wang Qian's power was.

  "Alas, it seems that Wang Shidi's cultivation has far surpassed mine as his senior brother. I recall when I brought him up the mountain, he didn't have even a hint of cultivation and was just an ordinary person. In less than three years, he has grown to this extent. Indeed, his natural talent is exceptional!"

  Zhou Qing parried the Blood Yaksha's attack beside him while sighing.

  Several others also nodded, each with a bit of discontent in their hearts. They had entered the profession many years earlier than Wang Qian, and this feeling of being left far behind was making these self-proclaimed geniuses somewhat incredulous yet unable to deny it.

  On the other hand, Wang Hai was also shocked in his heart. He didn't know Wang Qian, but he saw him displaying his divine power and felt a tremble in his heart.

  "Who is this person? So powerful, how come I've never heard of him before?"

  He was constantly turning in his mind, actually on that day the red cloud covered the sky, the Chiyan Immortal appeared scene, he also knew, just haven't seen Wang Qian's face, now naturally can't recognize.

  As the two Night Yaksha leaders died, there were still many Blood Yakshas left, but after Wang Qian continued to kill a large number of them, they were eventually slaughtered by the disciples of Qingyun Gate.

  Both sides had just eliminated a group of dark creatures, and after clearing up the external troubles, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie when they met.

  Wang Hai stepped forward with a big stride and laughed loudly. He first thanked Zhou Qing and the others for their help, then his face turned solemn.

  "Zhou Qing, look, this time we joined forces and killed these Blood Night Demons. Now let's divide the spoils of war? In the sect's task distribution, these Blood Night Demons are very valuable to us inner disciples. How about this: we each take out the Ghostly Blood Dan we collected earlier and divide them according to quantity?"

  Wang Hai's face was all smiles, just now still tearfully grateful, but his expression changed in the blink of an eye, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted them to take out their spoils.

  Zhou Qing and the others weren't fools, they immediately saw through this person's sinister intentions. He must have wanted to bring out all of the Youming Blood Dan, then distribute it according to the number of people. Zhou Qing and Wang Qian's group only had seven people, but in this battle, they killed almost half of the Yaksha, and the two most powerful Yaksha leaders were still killed by Wang Qian's hand. Calculating like this, their losses would be huge.

  "Wang Hai, what are you saying? Let's bring out the Youming Blood Dan and have you distribute it? Are you kidding again? This blood dan is only available to higher-blooded creatures in the Youming realm, and its value is enormous. Back at the sect, one blood dan is worth 10 contribution points. We killed almost half of the Xueye Cha this time, so how do we plan on distributing it? Are we going to divide it based on the number of people?"

  Zhou Qing's face was very unsightly, his words were stiff and cold, as if they had been forced out of his mouth.

  "Hey, Zhou Qing, we have so many people, but you only have seven. We're all from the same school, and none of our brothers can be missing! In my opinion, it's better to distribute them evenly!"

  Wang Hai sneered and finally spoke out his own plan. As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples behind him moved their feet and vaguely surrounded Wang Qian and the other seven people.

  "Hum, Wang Hai, you really are a cunning one. We just risked our lives and killed almost half of the Blood Night Demons, why should we split it evenly with you?"

  Huang was among the crowd, the most straightforward and outspoken, suddenly putting all things on the table.

  "Hmph, Huang Zheng, you're a postnatal cultivator, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Don't you know that among cultivators, strength is everything? You guys must have consumed a lot of true essence just now. Tell me, if we were to surround and kill you all here, wouldn't all the spoils of war be ours? It's just that we're from the same sect, and I, Wang Hai, am not a ruthless person, so I don't want to resort to violence."

  Wang Hai's eyes hinted at something, and the crowd of disciples behind him all started to murmur in agreement, everyone saying that Brother Wang was wise and the spoils of war should be divided equally.

  The scene fell silent for a moment, and then a burst of laughter broke the stillness.

  "Haha, Wang Hai, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. If we hadn't intervened earlier, you would have been killed by the Blood Night Demon long ago. And now, not only do you not show any gratitude for our lifesaving help, but you also want to take advantage of your numerical superiority to rob us? You're truly unfilial! Come and die!"

  Wang Gan had been thinking of nothing but getting more and more benefits since he discovered the advantages of this Yin-Yang Blood Dan. Originally, they were all fellow disciples, and for a time, he didn't even think about killing people to snatch the dan. But now, Wang Hai actually dared to threaten them, so he couldn't help but beat him to death. As for this kind of person, Wang Gan had no good feelings at all. In short, Wang Hai was just a shameless little man. Moreover, among cultivators, in order to obtain various heavenly treasures and cultivation resources, it was originally a matter of who robbed whom, relying on whose fist was bigger, and whoever had the most reason. As long as one wasn't caught by others, in the end, their own cultivation would be improved, and nothing would happen.

  He suddenly cursed and struck out without warning.
