Human Clan Defender-Chapter 587 - s 301-304: First-Class Divine Skills, Demon Saint’s Assault (Four in One, Requesting Monthly Votes) _6

The Ghost Saint's cold voice echoed. "Divine Spirit?"

Shen Changqing's mind stirred. Without a doubt, the Heaven and Earth Slash had made the other party mistake it for some powerful expert's legacy technique. With just that simple sentence, he had discerned quite a bit of information.

However, Shen Changqing did not respond. Even if he were to fabricate a mighty expert, it seemed unlikely to frighten his opponent. After all, the Demon Saint before him was evidently bent on annihilating Great Qin. The earlier use of the Heaven and Earth Slash had seriously depleted the Ghost Saint's strength. Rather than waste words, it was better to take this opportunity to silently recover some energy.

It was worth mentioning that after his Divine Soul entered the tenth stage, its speed of absorbing nature's spiritual energy had increased considerably.

Seeing that Shen Changqing did not reply, the Ghost Saint's crimson eyes narrowed slightly. "Since you won't speak, so be it. Your fate today will be no different."

With that said, a thought flashed through the Ghost Saint's mind. The blood-red sky descended once again, transforming into a vast Domain that enveloped everyone within.

"Domain!" Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly. He felt the space around him become stagnant. Not only that, but even the qi and blood in his flesh were greatly suppressed.

He had experienced the Domain of a Great Demon before, and it held no significant suppressive effect on his current self. But this was the first time he had ever felt a Demon Saint Domain. Once the Domain was deployed, his own strength immediately dropped by fifty percent. Disparity! This was the disparity! The more powerful the being deploying the Domain, the more terrifying the restrictions. Just like the Ghost Saint—once his Domain was active, those weaker than him had even less chance to resist.

Glancing sideways, Shen Changqing saw Dongfang Zhao and the others also show expressions of sudden alarm. Clearly, they too sensed that their strength was being greatly suppressed. Not only that, but the phantoms of the Azure Dragon and Qilin, coalesced by the Azure Dragon Army and Fire Qilin Army, became even more illusory, as if they might shatter at any moment.

"A hundred years ago, this Saint was defeated at the hands of your Great Qin. But today, a hundred years later, this Saint has stepped into the Half-Step Demon God Realm!" the Ghost Saint declared, his expression indifferent as he looked down at everyone below as if they were ants. "Even if Gu Xuanji were reborn, he couldn't possibly be my match. Rest assured, after you die, other Qin People will soon follow to accompany you in death!"

The Half-Step Demon God Realm was not something those beneath a Demon Saint could contend with. If Shen Changqing were a powerhouse on the Demon Saint Level, and combined that with a first-rate Divine Skill, he indeed would be qualified to challenge him. Unfortunately, the opponent was not a Demon Saint, which meant his defeat was certain. Apart from Shen Changqing, none of the Great Qin members present were worthy of his attention, not even Dongfang Zhao.

Upon hearing this, the people below did not respond. Shen Changqing gripped the hilt of his weapon, wanting to unleash another slash, but he had not recovered much of the energy he had expended earlier. To strike out rashly again would only cause a backlash against himself.

At this moment, the Ghost Saint had no intention of wasting any more words. As the Domain enveloped them, he thrust out his palm. A hundred-zhang blood-colored Palm Gang, like a mountain peak, pressed down.

Shen Changqing's expression turned cold. Just as he was about to slash out a second time, regardless of the consequences—

BOOM—

Golden True Qi transformed into a True Dragon that shook the void, violently colliding with the blood-colored Palm Gang.

The void exploded, and waves of destruction swept out.

"Gu Xuanji!" The Ghost Saint stared at the person who had appeared before him, his crimson eyes filled with hatred and a barely discernible wariness.

This sudden turn of events shocked not only the Demon Evil side but also caused the expressions of those on the Great Qin side to change drastically. Yan Jing, Wei Yang, and others showed surprise and delight in their eyes, alongside their shock.

Feigning death! Now they understood. Gu Xuanji hadn't truly fallen; he had merely faked his death. The purpose of this feigned death was self-evident.

In the void, golden True Qi swirled around Gu Xuanji's imperial robes. One hand held the Great Qin Imperial Seal aloft as an unmatched aura erupted from him, utterly destroying the Domain laid down by the Ghost Saint.

"Ghost Saint, a hundred years ago you invaded Great Qin, and I sliced off half your body. Now that you dare to enter Great Qin again, your time of death has arrived!" Gu Xuanji's expression was icy. Even the Demon Saint's overwhelming aura had not stirred him in the least.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Saint laughed out of extreme fury. "Gu Xuanji, do you truly believe this Saint is the same as I was a hundred years ago? This Saint has now advanced to the Half-Step Demon God Realm and is far beyond what your Human Clan can withstand! It is fortunate you did not die, for this Saint shall personally end you!"

Anger consumed his heart, and he wasted no more words. Pressing out his palm again, the blood-colored Palm Gang surged towards its target.

Seeing this, Gu Xuanji, holding the Great Qin Imperial Seal in one hand, declared in a deep voice, "I am Gu Xuanji, the Emperor of Great Qin! Demon Evil is invading! All subjects of Great Qin, please raise your left hand and lend me your strength so that I may slay these fiends!"

His voice was clear, instantly reaching the ears of every Human Clan member within the territory of Great Qin. Many commoners were perplexed, their faces showing confusion. Then, a sense of understanding dawned in their hearts.

One by one, people from all over Great Qin raised their left hands. Their faint streams of strength, like countless stars, converged toward Luo'an Prefecture. Soon, the gathered strength grew more and more substantial, transforming into a golden torrent.

In an instant, the light from the Emperor's Seal surged. The golden True Qi swirling around Gu Xuanji reached a tangible, almost solid state. A golden Domain spread out with him at its center, and he thrust out his palm.

BOOM—

The golden Palm Gang collided with the blood-colored Palm Gang. The latter shattered, breaking apart inch by inch.
