Demon God Green Lake was extremely furious. Over the years, he was used to crushing his enemies with his powerful demon body. He could easily withstand even a fifth-realm Demon Vanquisher spell about ten times. But this time, he encountered a Demon Vanquisher who was good at the Demon Vanquishing Divine Body!
Very few Demon Vanquishers cultivated the Divine Body. After all, it was a transformation of the body, and it was much harder than cultivating spells. For example, Xu Jingming focused on Astral Divine Body among the three divine powers, but his improvement speed was still much slower than with Quint-Bolt.
Thankfully, my Astral Divine Body has reached lesser mastery. The gap between Demon God Green Lake and me isn’t that great, Xu Jingming thought to himself. If it were just basic mastery, I would probably be crushed the moment we crossed.
When the difference in physique was too great, actual combat techniques couldn’t make up for it.
As for now? Xu Jingming had the advantage in speed and nearly half the strength of Demon God Green Lake. With his astonishing actual combat techniques, it naturally became one-sided.
Boom!
When the spear stabbed into Green Lake’s body, four-colored lightning erupted and wreaked havoc from the inside!
The skin of Green Lake’s demon body was extremely tough, but its interior was relatively fragile. Moreover, the spear technique Xu Jingming used was Quint-Bolt’s Quadrastrike!
When using a divine power, he could only deliver three strikes simultaneously. However, he had plenty of time to engrave runes when refining artifacts. After putting in plenty of effort, he finally succeeded in imprinting the runes of Quadrastrike. This spear then became Xu Jingming’s strongest means in his arsenal.
“No!!!” In Green Lake’s horror, his body exploded, the blasts peppering his tough demon body with holes. Most of his demon body was destroyed.
Green Lake fled into the distance frantically.
What a powerful demon body. Xu Jingming’s figure turned into a blur as he caught up to Green Lake. The spear in his hand was as fast as lightning as it stabbed into the damaged demon body again.
Boom!
Another terrifying Quadrastrike!
This time, the Demon God’s body completely collapsed, unable to take on a complete form. It dissipated into demonic aura and dispersed in every direction.
Seal! With a thought, a golden net enveloped more than half of Little Moon Lake, completely enveloping all the demonic aura.
The threat of a demonic body formed from demonic aura was high, but once it was scattered demonic aura? The threat plummeted. Xu Jingming observed with his Heavenly Eye and locked onto all the demonic aura while sealing it with the Inescapable Net.
All the demonic aura was captured in one net!
Xu Jingming formed a hand seal, and three-colored lightning struck down from the sky, striking the golden net. Countless demonic aura was obliterated, and only a trace of intrinsic demonic aura remained.
“Collect.” Xu Jingming took out a jade bottle and put the wisp of intrinsic demonic aura into it. He then dispersed Inescapable Net and beckoned for the two sabers that had fallen around him.
The material of these two sabers isn’t bad. Xu Jingming also had to consider the future. My Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers aren’t considered strong yet, so the might of the four-colored lightning I can draw on is still limited. The Mystic Light Cold Iron has been smelted into the spear, forming runic patterns. This spear can still take it for the time being.
But as my strength increases, my divine powers and spells will keep rising, and the burden on the artifact will increase, Xu Jingming thought. According to the records of the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll, perhaps this spear won’t be able to withstand the might unleashed when I reach the sixth realm and when my divine powers reach greater mastery.
It’s alright. I still need quite some time to reach the sixth realm.
Xu Jingming waved his hand, and Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers swept up countless gravel, simply clearing up the wrecked Little Moon Lake.
“He won?”
The ordinary people in the distance couldn’t help but cheer when they saw the dust settle. The Demon Vanquisher who had saved them had ultimately succeeded in killing the demon.
“Young Master.” Wu Qi had already run to Xu Jingming’s side and warmly helped him hold the two sabers. “I’ll hold them for you, Young Master.”
“Someone’s here.” Xu Jingming looked up at the sky.
Qi Chen had already landed.
“Brother Qi Chen,” Xu Jingming said with a smile, “you’re really fast! It takes you 45 seconds to come here from the Qi residence.”
“I was worried that an Earth Demon from Dongming Mountain would attack you, so I stayed close to your house incognito. There’s no way for me to be that fast if I came from the Qi residence,” Qi Chen said. He naturally revealed the matter of him waiting.
If he didn’t say it and nobody knew, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?
“Brother Qi Chen, you’ve been living around my house?” Xu Jingming was surprised. “Thank you, Brother Qi Chen.”
“It’s nothing worth mentioning. It was all in vain.” Qi Chen shook his head and said helplessly, “Who would’ve thought that Demon God Green Lake would be so cunning as to ambush you at Little Moon Lake?”
“But Brother Wu Ming, you’re really impressive.” Qi Chen couldn’t help but say, “You only barely subdued Zhang Xiu the last time, but you killed Demon God Green Lake today! It’s only been a few months, but your strength is already above mine.”
“I just happened to restrain him,” Xu Jingming said humbly.
There was nothing to be proud of.
It was only an Earth Demon; it wasn’t even the strongest demon in Cheng’an Prefecture.
As a peripheral member of the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage, Xu Jingming naturally had high expectations of himself. For example, his eldest senior brother—Gu Shan—and his eldest senior sister, Moyu, had created their own Demon Vanquishing techniques and established their own sects in the Demon Vanquishing World. Even Senior Brother Redeye—who had temporarily left the Demon Vanquishing World after being injured—was a ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher!
All of them were peerless figures!
He was still far inferior to his senior brothers and sisters.
Whoosh.
A thin-haired old man appeared in the wind and smiled at Xu Jingming. “Are you Brother Wu Ming?”
