While Yindu’s demon domain transformed all living things into demons and then absorbed those transformed beings!
"Tianqing, something’s not right..."
Chen Shi had just spoken when suddenly, the sky cleared up and sunlight began to shine down. Not only had the black canopy disappeared, but even the canopy formed by the demon domain of the Evil Bodhisattva vanished!
The demonic nature that had been controlling the two of them also vanished without a trace.
Li Tianqing, in astonishment, looked up at the sky, "What on earth happened? The demon domain seemed to suddenly collapse, could it be... that grandfather and the others succeeded?!"
He couldn’t help but feel incredibly joyful, laughing heartily, "Little Ten, our strategy worked! They did it! They slew the Evil Bodhisattva!"
Chen Shi looked around; a gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves on the trees all over the mountain to collide like porcelain, creating a crisp clinking sound, but at the same time, a rustling sound could also be heard.
It was some of the leaves transitioning from their porcelain state back to normal!
With the collapse of the Evil Bodhisattva’s demon domain, these trees began to gradually recover!
Chen Shi, both shocked and elated, crouched down to examine the wild grass on the ground, as this tenacious life was also slowly regaining its vitality.
At that moment, Li Tianqing said, "Little Ten! The people at the Zhao family camp are getting ready to leave!"
Chen Shi quickly stood up and looked towards the Zhao family camp to see the Zhao family’s guards escorting the Zhao family’s members and a few porcelain dolls, rushing out of the mountain. They had activated the Armored Horse Talisman, moving very swiftly.
Even more astonishing was that the porcelain dolls were also progressively transforming back to living humans!
Chen Shi was about to light a fire when he saw that these people had already turned past a mountain range and disappeared behind it.
The mountains of Qianyang Mountain were numerous and varied in terrain the Hongyi cannons required measurements and calculations and were inconvenient for firing.
"We can’t let them leave alive!"
Filled with a murderous aura, Chen Shi immediately shouldered his bookcase and said, "No need for cannons, just use the iron bullets to blow these people away! The Zhao family invoked the Evil Bodhisattva, causing so many deaths, they must pay with their lives!"
He immediately headed down the mountain, pursuing those Zhao family members and their guards.
Li Tianqing hesitated, then activated the Armored Horse Talisman on his legs, carrying the iron bullets and quickly catching up to him, saying, "Little Ten, the lives that were porcelainized by the Evil Bodhisattva are starting to revive. Without the influence of the Evil Bodhisattva, those porcelainized experts of the Zhao family will likely recover too. If they recover, I’m afraid we’re no match for them..."
Not to mention Divinity Transformation Realm’s Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanchu, just Zhao Yanliang alone in the Golden Core Realm, with his Golden Core unleashed and its light shining, they would probably be turned to dust and smoke.
Chen Shi hesitated, "If they recover, then we won’t pursue."
The two of them were much faster than the Zhao family members and their guards after running four or five miles through mountainous terrain, they caught up to them.
The Zhao family members and guards, having suffered under the torment of the Evil Spirit for days and nearly starving enough to resort to cannibalism, were still on high alert and quickly noticed the two pursuers.
"It’s the murderer who killed the eldest son!" someone recognized Chen Shi and shouted loudly.
Immediately, dozens of people slowed down, as Zhao Yanlong was slowly regaining his flesh and blood body. Hearing this, he was both shocked and elated, tears welling up in his eyes, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Ziyu, is it your doing from the heavens, delivering this murderer to your father? Good, good! You were a good son to me, Zhao Yanlong!"
In the meantime, the two groups were within a distance of twenty yards, already within the attack range of the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword. Chen Shi grabbed the iron bullets in his hands, surging his Qi-Blood, and hurled it with force!
His strength was immense, the iron bullets traveling at an incredible speed, and in a blink of an eye, it reached above everyone’s heads, aimed at smashing onto one person’s head!
The imperial guards had long been prepared with their spells, and someone immediately clashed with the black iron bullets using the "Meridian Evil Slayer Sword."
Suddenly, as if heavenly thunder ignited the earth’s fire, thunder and fire burst forth, forming a fiery ball over two yards in diameter above everyone’s heads!
Below, four or five imperial guards and Zhao family disciples were annihilated in the explosion. The fire expanded, swallowing up an area of about an acre. The Zhao family disciples and over ten guards were hurled into the air, limbs and broken arms flying chaotically, almost no one remained intact!
Even more terrifying was the thunderfire, with flames so hot that in just a moment, they blackened the limbs in the air!
The others’ eardrums buzzed, they couldn’t hear anything else, only feeling as if the thunder was rolling inside their own heads. They even felt as though the heavens and the earth were shaking.
The sound of the thunder was so loud that it unsettled their souls, hence they felt the shaking.
They shook their heads vigorously, as if they could shake the strange noises out of their ears, yet the buzzing continued.
Zhao Yanlong too was blown away by the blast. He hadn’t yet fully transformed into human form, and when he landed, he heard a crisp crack from his legs, startling him, and he urgently cried to the nearest Zhao family disciple, "Quick, pick me up!"
"What?" the Zhao family disciple asked loudly, his ears still buzzing.
This time the Zhao family disciple heard him and hurriedly picked him up, fleeing forward.
Seeing this, other Zhao family disciples also fled, fearing that they would be slow and get struck by the black iron bullets!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing chased from behind. Chen Shi grabbed another black iron bullet and threw it with force!
The bullet whistled towards the backs of the group, just about to fall when suddenly a round Golden Core soared up, inexplicably halting the black iron bullet in midair.
Chen Shi roared angrily. As he ran forward, he forcefully threw another bullet which struck the suspended black iron bullet with a clang.
The two black iron bullets exploded simultaneously, and the Golden Core in the air was also reduced to dust in the terrifying explosion!
Among the group fleeing below, Zhao Yanliang suddenly vomited blood profusely, looking extremely weak.
The Golden Core in the air belonged to him.
He was a late-stage expert in the Golden Core Realm, far surpassing Zhao Ziyu, but still no match for the Medicine King’s firearms. Just two black iron bullets caused his Golden Core to shatter, leaving him non-existent!
As Zhao Yanliang’s energy waned, he attempted to stop someone to support him, but the Zhao family disciples and the imperial guards around him were all fleeing, ignoring him.
Zhao Yanliang tried to stabilize his aura, then heard brisk footsteps ahead. Looking up, he saw a young man with a bookcase rushing towards him.
"This is the culprit..."
He raised his hand, trying to condense mana to activate a spell. Although his Golden Core was gone, his foundation remained, and he could still fight.
But just as he raised his palm, Chen Shi had already reached him, seizing his palm lightning-fast, pressing down hard and snapping his wrist with a crack.
Zhao Yanliang trembled in pain and screamed. Chen Shi had already swept past him, delivering a backward palm strike to the back of his head.
When Li Tianqing caught up, he saw this great expert of the Golden Core Realm with his brain burst open, lying on the ground.
— I’ve been too exhausted from the recent outbursts and slept drowsily this afternoon, feeling like my brain was fragmenting. Age is catching up after all. There won’t be a third update tonight, reverting to two Chapters per day, each between seven and eight thousand words.
