Just A Daoist Who Occasionally Kicks Ass-Chapter 541: “You’re Not Worthy of Asking My Name!” Hidden Powerhouses!? The Fierce Yin Xuansheng! Exorcism!

Chapter 541: “You’re Not Worthy of Asking My Name!” Hidden Powerhouses!? The Fierce Yin Xuansheng! Exorcism!

The Jiaoslayer was incredibly sharp.

No blood flowed from Yin Xuansheng’s body, yet he was in extreme misery. His head was struck, his right hand severed, and he could no longer merge his divine powers. Frantically, he tried to flee backward; his headless body and separated head flew in different directions.

Bang!

The Earthbreaker Pearl extended in the wind, slamming heavily onto Yin Xuansheng’s head. Just like that, it shattered his skull instantly.

The next moment, he attempted to reconstitute his head with primordial spirit arts.

But meanwhile, Li Yanchu caught up to his headless body, and a black ink brush appeared. The aura it radiated filled even this third realm ghost deity, Yin Xuansheng, with extreme terror.

“Judge’s Brush?!”

Before he could react, his headless body was restrained by Li Yanchu using the Judge’s Brush. A massive seal character appeared, completely enveloping his form.

With that, his semi-transparent body gradually solidified. And his head, influenced by the body, found its powers disrupted.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong had used illusions to save Yin Xuansheng’s severed head at the last moment. But the next second, the Eight Trigrams Mirror in the sky radiated immense divine light, crashing down upon Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong. Just like that, his illusions were immediately dispelled.

The Eight Trigrams Mirror was a ten-thousand-merit-points treasure. Under its divine light, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s illusions could not manifest. He tried to command the other two divine demons to attack Li Yanchu, but Li Yanchu raised his blade and struck, taking one down instantly.

Seeing this, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was flabbergasted. So ferocious!?

A sudden, bad premonition formed in his mind.

This time, with the rebellion of the Prince Qing’s Mansion, Mount Youming had seized the opportunity to intervene in the mortal realm, and the Demonic Dao was flourishing. It seemed an uncontrollable variable had arisen!

“Who exactly are you?” Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong asked in a grave tone.

“You insignificant insect, you’re not worthy of knowing my name.” Li Yanchu said, his tone radiating supreme confidence.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was utterly enraged. Yet at the same time, he greatly feared this young Daoist. His cultivation level was clearly below the Yang Spirit realm, yet his arsenal of treasures left onlookers in awe.

His overwhelming aura of blood and qi was like a blazing sun. With a single move, he suppressed two Yang Spirit experts at once.

A person like this had to be a reincarnation of a great being! Thinking this, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong suddenly felt less insulted; maybe this young man’s background really was that formidable.

“Fellow Daoist, why trouble yourself with mortal affairs?” Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong asked.

“If you are willing to desist, I shall reward you handsomely!”

For someone of true stature, the lives of mortals were trivial. Achieving Dao and attaining longevity were paramount. Hence, many powerful, experienced elders disliked pointless battles.

Unfortunately, he had met Li Yanchu.

“Evil demons and heretical sects, all must be exterminated!” Li Yanchu’s voice thundered.

As his words fell, a majestic divine form appeared; the figure had three heads and six arms as it treaded on a fire dragon, enveloped in divine flames.

In his hands were five mighty artifacts: the Heaven-Illuminating Seal, Five-Dragon Wheel, Ten Thousand Crows Urn, Flying Smoke Sword, and Cloudpiercer, which were all radiating overwhelming power. His aura was vast, arrogant, and unstoppable.

With the appearance of this ancient deity, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was fully convinced of Li Yanchu’s hidden powerhouse status. Yet he wondered: which great being had this young man reincarnated from? Surely not the Fire Virtue Star Lord...?

At this time, the sky was ablaze with divine fire, shrouding Yin Xuansheng and Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong. Yin Xuansheng, already at the end of his strength, was utterly annihilated under the celestial flames and reduced to ash.

+ 50,000 merit points!

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong himself vanished under the Fire Virtue Star Lord’s divine flames. Yet, Li Yanchu received no merit points notifications.

At the moment Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was ignited, Li Yanchu saw it was merely a paper effigy.

“Old sly fox,” Li Yanchu said coldly.

He then handed a Mount Jinting jujube to Master Wuse. “This will restore your injuries.”

Wuse did not hesitate and consumed it immediately. Since this Daoist companion had just slain two third-realm demonic powerhouses, it would be as easy as pie for him to kill Wuse; he had no need to poison him.

After consuming the Mount Jinting jujube, Wuse’s eyesight returned to normal.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist. I am Wuse of Jinguang Temple. May I know your name?”

“Li Yanchu.”

“Daoist Master Li of Qingyun Temple, Wei City?”

“That would be me.”

Master Wuse was stunned.

Previously, Jinguang Temple had faced a millennium calamity, its lineage nearly destroyed, and Daoist Master Li had come to aid. But at that time, Wuse was battling his inner demon and could not meet him. And now, he was saved again by Daoist Master Li.

Wuse’s emotions were complex as he expressed his gratitude once more.

“First, let’s deal with these demons,” Li Yanchu said, mounting his cloud and leaving.

With his arrival, the tide of battle at Qingfeng Ridge immediately turned. No matter how powerful the demons were, in his presence, it was all a single stroke!

The demonic soldiers of the White Marsh Demon Kingdom and the heterodox warriors of Kingdom of Qian were all slain by Li Yanchu; even escaping became nothing more than a distant dream.

The Jiaoslayer and Eight Trigrams Mirror, both sentient artifacts, relentlessly slaughtered the deviant demons within the rebel ranks. Such overwhelming might struck terror into the rebels’ hearts, especially when Li Yanchu manifested the Fire Virtue Star Lord form and descended upon them. The scene was utterly breathtaking; after all, an ancient deity had descended to the mortal realm to exterminate evil!

The rebels of the Prince Qing’s Mansion immediately lost the will to resist, surrendering in droves. For ordinary soldiers, Li Yanchu did not indulge in unnecessary slaughter. His targets were always the evil demons and heretical sects.

After the battle at Qingfeng Ridge ended, every surviving soldier of the Donglin Prefecture looked at Li Yanchu with immense reverence, as if he were a living god. If not for Li Yanchu appearing out of nowhere, by now they would already have been torn apart and devoured by those demons, leaving not even a whole corpse. When fighting in a war, no one expected to return entirely unscathed, but no one wanted to die in the jaws of wild beasts.

Even the beast tide that had poured out of the mountains was completely slaughtered. With supernatural powers intervening, this battle became remarkably simple!

Li Yanchu’s gains from this episode were immense; just the merit points for slaying demons totaled 120,000.

The Azurebind Sword and the Eye-Piercing Pearl were both extremely powerful magical artifacts. Perhaps... the respect of tens of thousands of soldiers came into play as well.

General Wei Pingchuan had died, and the Donglin Prefecture troops suffered heavy casualties, nearly annihilated. However, the remaining generals quickly regrouped the survivors. The cultivators in the army also looked at Li Yanchu with deep admiration.

Yet, the battle at Donglin Prefecture was far from over. Prince Qing’s Mansion still controlled several counties and retained formidable strength.

Moreover, although Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong had been severely injured and retreated, Li Yanchu could not yet gauge his true power. Especially with that suddenly appearing third-realm powerhouse, whose aura was ghostly and mysterious.

On the surface, the enemy only had one third-realm cultivator... but who knew how many tricks they still had hidden?
