Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 811 - 570 The Catastrophe Begins, Chaos Reigns Everywhere_2

Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi's murderous intent was as sharp as ice, battling two to three demons each without falling behind. The Canghai Sect's Twin Stars truly lived up to their reputation.

Thwack!

Accompanied by Zhang Zining's sword slicing through the air, an abyss of black mist overflowed the sky as a ghost of the Specter level exploded on the spot, its pitch-black soul crystal falling to the ground.

Just as the situation seemed to be tipping in favor of the Canghai Sect, suddenly, a piercing howl sounded, immediately turning the faces of many Canghai Sect warriors pale as they coughed up mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"A Nether level demon?!"

The crowd exclaimed, looking not far away to see a Nether level demon approaching, its power on par with a Human Clan martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

"There's... there's more?!"

At that moment, in another direction, a Canghai Sect elder stared in horror towards the distance. It turned out that not just one, but a total of three Nether level demons had appeared here.

The instant these Nether level demons appeared, a tide of darkness enveloped the heavens, nearly shrouding the Canghai Sect's mountain gate, the presence so penetrating that it almost froze everyone on the spot.

Even Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi's complexions turned a shade of greenish-purple, their bodies quivering uncontrollably.

It was their instincts reacting in fear. Faced with Nether level demons, their exceptional talents were not enough to overcome the insurmountable gap.

Not to mention them, even some elders were faring worse, their teeth chattering with faces filled with terror.

"Sect... Sect Master... what should we do?" Some elders were almost crying out in utter panic.

These weren't just any demons; they were three Nether level demons. Not to speak of the Canghai Sect, even other top powers in the martial world would struggle to cope!

At this moment, the Canghai Sect's sect master Cheng Ying also wore a grave expression. But as the Sect Master and the only Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster in his sect, he undoubtedly had to shoulder this responsibility.

Cheng Ying's expression was solemn, his gaze resolute. Stepping forward, he said in a deep voice, "I will hold back these three fiends. You all must immediately take the villagers and flee. Go as far as you can. No matter what happens, don't look back!"

"Sect Master!"

At these words, the Canghai Sect's members' faces changed. Clearly, they could see that Cheng Ying had resolved to die, intent on sacrificing himself for their survival!

"Sect Master, this cannot be, we wish to live or die together with you and the Canghai Sect!" Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi shouted, unwilling to leave.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Those are three Nether level demons; if you stay, you'll only drag me down!"

Cheng Ying turned back and angrily rebuked them. Then, his gaze softened as he looked at Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi, his two favorite disciples. "I am old, and my path in the martial way ends here. But it's different for you. As long as you live, the Canghai Sect has a future. Continue to carry on the name of the Canghai Sect, and with that, even in death, I won't be ashamed to face our ancestors."

"Sect Master!"

Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi yelled out, overcome with emotion, tears welling up in their eyes. To them, Cheng Ying was like a father figure, providing them with care and support, and within the Canghai Sect, there was no deception or betrayal, all focusing on nurturing them in hopes that they could support the entire Canghai Sect in the future.

"Leave!"

At that moment, several elders stepped forward, pulling at Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi, attempting to take them away regardless of their struggle.

"Ah—"

At the same time, the Canghai Sect's Sect Master Cheng Ying also roared in fury, his energy erupting as the world trembled slightly, creating ripples across the air, with strands of vital essence pouring into his body.

"Fiends, to death with you!"

The Sect Leader of Canghai Sect roared and charged forward, but when facing the three Infernal-level demon ghosts, his strength indeed fell short, and with one strike, he was sent flying while coughing up blood.

"No——"

Seeing this scene, the people of Canghai Sect screamed, tears streaming down their faces as they saw their Sect Leader Cheng Ying about to die before their very eyes.

"Run!"

Some of the more collected elders couldn't bear to watch, averted their gaze, and began to pull the others to escape, not wanting to waste the precious time Cheng Ying had bought for their retreat.

"Sect Leader!"

Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi bellowed, and just when they were about to witness Cheng Ying splattered with blood on the spot and dismembered by the three Infernal-level demon ghosts, suddenly, a figure flashed into existence amidst the light and shadow of heaven and earth.

This figure was expressionless, his eyes somewhat lifeless, like a puppet, appearing unexpectedly beside Canghai Sect Leader Cheng Ying.

In the instant this man appeared, the three Infernal-level demon ghosts were frozen in place, as helpless as fish on a chopping board.

"You… who are you?"

At this moment, Cheng Ying, terrified, looked at the expressionless young man beside him, instinctively feeling a fear that was even greater than that of the three Infernal-level demon ghosts in front of him!

How could such a powerful being be here? Canghai Sect Leader Cheng Ying was filled with questions.

Not just him, but also those of the Canghai Sect who were fleeing, stood stunned, unsure of what to make of the scene.

Thud!

The next moment, without any visible action from the young man, the bodies of the three demon ghosts suddenly exploded, turning into a mist that dissipated into the air, leaving only three soul crystals behind, which the man collected.

"Dead?"

"Just like that, dead?"

Witnessing how simply the three Infernal-level demon ghosts were killed, the members of Canghai Sect were startled and began to speculate about the young man's identity.

"Many thanks, sir, for your rescue. May I know your esteemed name?" Canghai Sect Leader Cheng Ying ventured to ask.

The young man remained expressionless, really resembling a lifeless puppet, and upon hearing the question, he glanced at Cheng Ying and spoke in a tone devoid of any fluctuations, "I act upon the orders of the great commander of Jing Tian Department, Gu Chen, to purge these demon ghosts and bring peace to the nine provinces!"

"Martial King?!"

"Big Brother Gu?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of Canghai Sect were taken aback, and in their minds, the image of a man with handsome features, sword-like brows, and starry eyes, exuding a grand majestic aura, spontaneously emerged.

"So that's how it is." Canghai Sect Leader Cheng Ying also came to a realization, Gu Chen's image appearing in his mind.

"The age of chaos has come; perhaps only he can stem this overwhelming tide and uphold the collapsing edifice," Cheng Ying remarked with a sigh.

It was not only Canghai Sect; this was just a microcosm of the larger situation. The current chaos of demon ghosts causing turmoil across the world, with constant tragedies unfolding. On learning of the situation, Gu Chen had promptly dispatched his puppets, who had reached the Divine Intent Realm and were scattered throughout the world, to rescue people from all sides and collect soul crystals for him.

He, too, felt a sense of urgency rising in his heart, desiring to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation as quickly as possible and to perfect all his supreme martial arts.
