My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult-Chapter 255 - : When an Era’s Grandmaster Ends

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: When an Era’s Grandmaster Ends

Boom!

Ye Ding’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, his powerful True Qi surged towards the heavens, and his Four Qi Cultivation was no longer concealed.

The starlight in the sky, originally flickering, suddenly became continuously bright.

Seven streams of starlight enveloped Blue Sky Island, giving off a great illusion, as if the night had fallen in a blink of an eye.

Simultaneously, the lake water on Blue Sky Island trembled wildly, as waves crashed against the shore like a thousand heaps of snow.

In the next instant, Ye Ding took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet shattered, but his figure was like a bolt of lightning, carrying a heaven-reaching momentum, and he charged straight towards An Jing.

...

An Jing, seeing Ye Ding charging over, struck with the Evil Suppressing Sword once again.

His Sixth Realm Sword Skill was executed to its limit, and as the sword light surged, the oppressive power of his sword descended.

Thud!

Two shadows quickly met, sword light and handprints collided, terrifying shockwaves rampaged outwards, fissures spread from beneath their feet, and both were blasted backwards.

They had just steadied their retreating figures when in the next instant, they shot out again, colliding once more.

Ye Ding, fully unleashing his Four Qi Cultivation, now completely surpassed An Jing in cultivation. Even though An Jing’s True Qi purity far surpassed that of an ordinary Second Qi, and his Sword Skill had reached the Sixth Realm,

As a Four Qi Grandmaster, Ye Ding surpassed An Jing by two realms of cultivation. The difference between the peak of Three Qi and the realm of Four Qi was only a step, but the gap in cultivation was enormous.

The addition of the Evil Suppressing Sword’s blade at this moment seemed unable to bridge that gap.

Boom! Boom!

Both fighters adopted the wildest and most overbearing stances, their True Qi intertwining chaotically.

In the next moment, Ye Ding’s palm suddenly became covered with starlight, radiating with an overwhelming presence, and then he struck out with a palm, fast as lightning, hitting An Jing squarely in the chest.

If An Jing was able to sense Ye Ding’s speed before, the speed at this moment was now imperceptibly fast.

Bang!

The palm directly pierced through An Jing’s protective golden light, landing heavily on his body, and An Jing was sent flying backwards, the sound of cracking bones clearly audible.

An Jing’s body hovered in the air several feet away, gasping for breath, as the intense pain pierced through every nerve.

An Jing coldly looked at Ye Ding and said, “You truly are a Grandmaster of your generation, still holding back in a life-and-death fight.”

Ye Ding had cultivated the “Beidou Seven Stars Tecgnique” and the “Qiankun Eight Diagram Technique.” Though his “Qiankun Eight Diagram Technique” had not reached the realm of Luo Chongyang, nor had he found the common ground between the two mental methods, his True Qi was extremely powerful.

This was the result of many years of accumulation and cultivation.

Ye Ding shook his head and said, “Your strength caught me off guard; I originally thought that I could win with the effort I had already shown.”

An Jing said, “I will let you know that you’ve miscalculated more than just that.”

Thud! Thud!

The ground of Blue Sky Island was continuously trembling under the impact of An Jing’s charge.

Ye Ding, seeing An Jing coming with the terrifying force of impact, also had a stern look in his eyes, took a deep breath, and his hands suddenly came together.

Hum!

A powerful storm of True Qi burst out from within him.

Ye Ding struck out with a palm, True Qi gushing forth, colliding with the oncoming sword light.

Hum!

A visible shockwave erupted, petals on the ground and the surrounding trees turned to dust.

An Jing floated in midair, retreating continuously backwards, blood continuously streaming from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Ding lifted his head, stating indifferently, “You are no match for me now. Perhaps when you reach the Three Qi Realm, I would no longer be your opponent.”

An Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly; even though they both had Four Qi Cultivation, he always felt that Ye Ding was somehow different from the Sword Demon of the past.

Without further words, True Qi within Ye Ding surged like tides, as he charged toward An Jing.

Whoooosh!

The terrifying waves smacked into the air, more tremor-inducing than the surging waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A force piercing through the mist erupted from Blue Sky Island into the sky, a massive hand opened up like a dark cloud and descended upon An Jing’s head.

“Boom!”

The earth shook violently, and a thunderous roar seemed to come from deep beneath Blue Sky Island. In a moment, Ye Ding’s entire presence vanished, as if he had merged with the very earth beneath their feet.

No, more accurately, he was the vast expanse of land under everyone’s feet!

At this moment, Ye Ding truly utilized his powers to their fullest extent. His robust aura extended across the entirety of Blue Sky Island, and all the high-level experts on the island felt this terrifying presence, watching the battle in amazement.

“This fight reminds me of the day Xiao Qianqiu battled Lou Xiangzhen.”

“The same Sect Leader of the Zhenyi Sect, the same supreme Sword Immortal.”

“Truly invincible.”

“To witness this battle today is indeed a rewarding experience.”

……

From afar, amidst the churning sea waves, Qu Renlin caught a gleam of insight, “Old Ye Ding has finally used all his strength.”

Having fought with Ye Ding before, although he lost to him, Qu Renlin was well aware of Ye Ding’s strength.

Beside him stood Chu Yun, the Heavenly Slaughter, and Lv Qiujian, one of the four top Swordsmen of the human world, along with dozens of top experts from the Black Ice Platform, all of whom had enhanced their cultivation with Elixirs, but their strength was by no means low, with the weakest being at the First Grade level.

Besides them, there was an old man in a black robe.

If Ye Ding saw this man, he would certainly recognize him.

Because this man was the pillar of Zhao Country, a top-notch expert above the mountain peaks of the world, the master of the Black Ice Platform, Qi Xuan Dao.

Qi Xuan Dao, watching the distant Blue Sky Island, murmured, “That Ghost Swordsman actually managed to force Ye Ding to go all out…”

Sometimes, those who know you best aren’t your friends, but your enemies.

Because your friends don’t monitor you at all times, but your enemies do.

Qi Xuan Dao was once an enemy of Ye Ding for a while, especially during their direct confrontation decades ago when he tried to take down the then Sect Leader of the Zhenyi Sect. Unfortunately, he was not successful.

So he was very familiar with Ye Ding’s strength and also very familiar with Ye Ding’s temperament.

Ye Ding’s visit to Blue Sky Island was not simple in its intent.

To prevent accidents, and also for the Ghost Swordsman, Qi Xuan Dao came in person.

Qi Xuan Dao said indifferently, “Ye Ding, using all his power, will likely finish very soon. When we make a move, not even one of them, Ye Ding or the Ghost Swordsman, will be left alive. Kill them all.”

“Yes.”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this.

……..

Amidst the overwhelming aura, An Jing’s Evil Suppressing Sword burst forth in his hand, tearing through the thick handprints.

An Jing’s move was much faster than anyone expected, so much so that it seemed to the crowd that Ye Ding had made the first move, without noticing that An Jing’s move was far faster than anyone had imagined.

“Boom!”

The ground shook and fierce Sword Qi ravaged the earth, erupting from its very depths, and everyone, including Ye Ding, was shocked by this terrifying presence.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the powerful forces of the two collided fiercely.

The collision was earth-shattering, and Blue Sky Island trembled.

With this strike, most of the watching experts were caught in the storm.

However, the storm didn’t last long, as thick streams of True Qi began to spread from all around the original Blue Sky Island.

Four Symbols Sword Technique! Move like thunder!

An Jing’s hair flew wildly as he stomped heavily, and with a “hum”, Sword Light swept through like roaring thunder.

Ye Ding’s eyelids twitched, a sense of warning rising in his heart. He looked up only to hear ripples around him, as countless An Jings from all directions rushed toward him.

“I have long looked forward to dueling with the top experts of the Zhenyi Sect!”

An Jing’s voice came from all around, ethereal and uncertain, a dense murderous aura pervading the void, as if to tear the air to thousands of pieces.

An Jing was fast, but Ye Ding’s reaction wasn’t slow, either. His hands moved and his True Qi exploded, unleashing a massive Qi Mechanism from within his body, immediately creating a vast sound of waves in the air.

A heavy pressure spread out from Ye Ding in all directions.

Five Thunder Technique! Wind Thunder!

Then a palm fell fiercely, and in an instant, thunder flashed.

Boom! Boom!

In the now silent world, the Sword Thunder and Palm Thunder viciously tore through the air.

Bang! Bang!

The continuous explosions on Blue Sky Island finally began to thin, and the overwhelming True Qi wave began to show signs of defeat, eventually disappearing completely.

The world finally became truly quiet.

An Jing’s internal “Nameless Heart Scripture” began to circulate, his True Qi surged wildly, flowing through his body to the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand, which immediately glowed brightly with a murderous aura.

Boom!

An Jing stomped heavily, his body transformed into a golden rainbow that shot into the sky, and in the next instant, he appeared above Ye Ding. Without any hesitation, the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand, now carrying a chilling aura, slashed down heavily.

Bang!

The Sword Radiance howled past, and with True Qi running to its limit combined with the Sixth Realm Sword Skill, this power had almost reached its peak.

Boom!

An immense True Qi suddenly burst from within Ye Ding, his hands formed an intricate Seal Technique, and the resounding noise echoed through heaven and earth, as a giant Yin Yang Fish emerged.

Qiankun Eight Diagram Technique!

Surging True Qi roared out, creating a black and white Yin Yang Fish Light Shield before him.

The sharp Sword Radiance continued to fall recklessly, finally hitting the Light Shield with a stone-breaking force.

Bang!

Cracks spread rapidly across the Light Shield, with bright light shooting through the fissures.

Bang! Bang!

An Jing felt a great rebounding force, drifting backward. When he stabilized, he realized his right hand was drenched in blood.

The black and white Light Shield in front of him had shattered, but Ye Ding’s expression remained calm as he stood opposite An Jing.

“I saw it…”

An Jing’s gaze was icy as the Evil Suppressing Sword was raised again, slashing fiercely at Ye Ding.

He had seen Ye Ding’s flaw.

Ye Ding also raised his head at that moment, his eyes gleaming piercingly sharp, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. He raised his hand to block the Sword Radiance.

Clang!

Metal clashed against metal, sparks flew, and An Jing’s heart jolted.

Because he sensed that this time, Ye Ding’s True Qi suddenly withdrew.

The fall of the Evil Suppressing Sword was halted, and the Evil Suppressing Sword was sent flying, as An Jing looked heavily towards Ye Ding’s figure.

Ye Ding’s robes fluttered, and then he raised his head sharply, his eyes locking onto An Jing as he unleashed his True Qi without reservation.

Boom!

The once-teetering black and white Light Shield transformed into a shower of light and faded away.

And in the next moment, An Jing had vanished.

Ye Ding seemed to want to stop him, but it was too late. A streak of Sword Light rushed forward.

Sword Control Technique!

The Sword Light, like thunder, sped towards him piercing the darkness like the first ray of light.

“Shick!”

The Evil Suppressing Sword pierced directly into Ye Ding’s shoulder, sinking three inches deep.

“Tap tap tap…..”

A surge of True Qi from within Ye Ding’s Dantian repelled the Evil Suppressing Sword, and he stumbled back dozens of steps, his white Daoist robe soaked red with blood.

His complexion was also deathly pale.

“Senior Brother!”

Yu Ying shouted out reflexively upon seeing this.

Whoosh!

Yet Blue Sky Island remained silent, all the experts holding their breath and watching the scene unfold with rapt attention.

They knew the battle had been decided.

An Jing adjusted his breathing and said indifferently, “It appears the injuries on your body are quite severe.”

From the exchange just now, he had discerned that Ye Ding was injured, and grievously so.

Feng Lingyue, hearing this, frowned. Ye Ding had injuries?

Being an old hand in Jianghu, even Feng Lingyue couldn’t tell that Ye Ding was suffering from such serious injuries despite the fierce battle.

“Cough cough cough….”

Ye Ding coughed lightly, “Your eyes are indeed first-rate, I didn’t expect you to see through my injuries.”

An Jing said somberly, “It seems you don’t know me well. Before I joined the Demon Sect, I had practiced medicine in Yu State City for ten years.”

While an ordinary expert would indeed have difficulty discerning Ye Ding’s injuries, An Jing was different; he was a doctor, and not just any doctor, but one with a profound medical expertise.

Ye Ding fell silent, saying no more.

An Jing looked to the other experts behind Ye Ding and said indifferently, “Now, as you wished, let’s settle all grudges.”

Yu Ying snorted coldly, “The Ghost Swordsman just fought a fierce battle and might not have his full strength. Let’s go together and kill him.”

Ye Ding’s figure was drenched in blood, his face as pale as death, and An Jing, holding the sword, was also covered in blood, looking no better off.

Feng Lingyue’s words struck a chord in everyone’s hearts, “If we don’t kill him, he will surely kill us. Isn’t defeating the scum of the Demon Sect the very reason you are here?”

Yu Ying and Feng Lingyue were the first to attack, with the other masters exchanging glances and then joining in.

An Jing blocked the two of them, then said indifferently, “It looks like more souls will fall by my sword today….”

“You’re already running on fumes; don’t be so brash!”

Suddenly, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, the Blissful Child rushed towards An Jing, his thunderous palm force bearing down, unstoppable.

An Jing drew a quick line with the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand, a flash of glassy brilliance swiftly passing through.

The Blissful Child felt the pressure carried by the Sword Skill of the Sixth Realm and his heart trembled, his pupils filled only with Sword Light, and nothing else.

Thump!

Like a fountain, blood spurted out.

In less than a moment, the Blissful Child, a Grandmaster from Zhao Country, was devoid of life, plummeting toward the ground.

Even the well-versed and experienced people present had never seen such a terrible, eerie scene.

A bone-chilling cold overwhelmed everyone’s hearts in an instant.

Just then, a powerful suction force, even quicker than An Jing’s, drew the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence from the Blissful Child’s body into his palm.

The person was none other than Ye Ding.

Before An Jing could speak, Feng Lingyue and Yu Ying, along with many other experts, surrounded him.

The multitude of experts around him didn’t wake up to reality because of the Blissful Child’s death; on the contrary, the looks they gave to An Jing turned even more ferocious.

Every person present was a famous expert from Yan Country, each with irreconcilable grievances with the Demon Sect; it was unthinkable that they would be frightened off by a few words from An Jing.

Anyone truly afraid would not have set foot on the island.

An Jing watched the crowd enclosing him with a cold gaze, his sword moving as fast as lightning, whipping around him.

In the blink of an eye, An Jing’s figure was engulfed by a sea of people.

Thump thump thump thump thump…

With every sweep of his sword, numerous Sword Lights dispersed, and beautiful flowers of blood burst into the sky, the heavens overwhelmed by the wafting stench of it.

“Together we fight, is An Jing still not our match?”

“Together—attack!”

“Fang Huti is here!”

“The Five Eccentrics of Nine Dragon Lake are here to capture and kill the scum of the Demon Sect!”

……

With each move of An Jing’s hand, someone died by his sword, but this did not instill fear in the surrounding crowd; it only fueled the ferocity of the other masters.

The operation of the Nameless Heart Scripture, though constantly supplying True Qi, was causing his brain to feel dizzy.

Such was the drawback of the incomplete Nameless Heart Scripture; while it seemed to supply an endless stream of True Qi, it caused his Divine Soul to feel pain, and prolonged use would surely damage it.

But at this moment, he could not care less.

Unknowingly, the ground became buried in bones, the soil dyed red with blood, and the air filled with a bloody stench that was nauseating.

The Evil Suppressing Sword was completely soaked with blood, turning to a blood-red color, and An Jing himself had become a blood-soaked figure, his body dripping with the blood of others.

Until the last high-level expert fell.

With the passing of life, the grudges also came to an end.

Most of the many masters present were independent wanderers of Jianghu, or those who had escaped the destruction of the Demon Sect.

Those experts with families did not dare to participate in the battle of Blue Sky Island.

The only real threats to him were the Zhenyi Sect and the Five Poison Sect.

Whether killing can resolve grudges or not, it can, by killing everyone.

It was at this moment that Feng Lingyue and Yu Ying finally looked down at their feet.

Blood flowed like a river.

The two felt a chill rush up from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads, and immediately their eyes turned towards An Jing, who was a few dozen feet away from them.

Whoosh whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, carrying the stench of fresh blood and the fragrance of the Sky Flower through the air to their nostrils.

They saw An Jing slowly walking towards them, fresh blood still dripping from the sword in his left hand, his eyes colder than any sharp blade in the world.

An Jing said to Feng Lingyue, “I can give you a chance.”

Feng Lingyue had once received guidance from Jun Qinglin, and the two had some history. Jun Qinglin had mentioned that if Feng Lingyue voluntarily returned, his life could be spared.

Furthermore, Feng Lingyue had left because of a power struggle with Jiang Shang, and now that Jiang Shang was gone, it was not out of the question to give him another chance.

Feng Lingyue shook his head and laughed loudly, “Even in death, I shall die in the Jianghu.”

An Jing was taken aback; he had thought Feng Lingyue would agree, then he started to laugh.

“Very well, I shall fulfill Senior Feng’s wish.”

“That’s not necessarily so!”

A fighting spirit flashed in Feng Lingyue’s eyes, and he moved towards An Jing with a strange agility, reminiscent of a spider crawling across a web.

Five Poison Soul-breaking Hand!

Feng Lingyue’s eyes were extremely cold as a massive shadow of a beast appeared behind him.

Then Feng Lingyue flipped his palm, and from that black palm, a layer of Qi flowed out, with the giant Poison Beast also charging towards An Jing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black Qi pressed down on the air, causing explosive roaring noises.

An Jing stood below, watching the Poison Beast charging towards him. In front of that beast, he seemed extremely small, almost insignificant.

His expression did not change much.

Hum hum! Hum hum!

The Evil Suppressing Sword suddenly emitted hums, as if transforming into visible sound waves echoing into the distance.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, An Jing’s left hand holding the sword stomped down, directly shattering the surrounding air.

Immediately after, from the Evil Suppressing Sword, an extremely dazzling radiance burst forth, the light so aggressive that everyone present couldn’t help but close their eyes.

Invisible Sword!

An Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and with one swipe of his left hand, a sword radiance that seemed to tear the heavens surged forth from the blade of the Evil Suppressing Sword.

This was his strongest Sword Dao technique, a creation based on his own understanding and the “Nameless Heart Scripture.”

That sword radiance, with the momentum of a thundering force and incredible speed, collided with the handprint in an instant.

At the moment of collision, it was as if two meteors had struck against each other.

Thud!

Time seemed to solidify, and the world quieted down in an instant.

But just moments later, a piercing roaring sound exploded in the sky, and then waves of Qi, like rolling tide water, crazily spread outward from the center of the impact.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Beneath An Jing’s feet, cracks as wide as giant trees spread out toward the distance, and the black Qi that stretched across the sky also dispersed, revealing a clear sky.

Wow!

Feng Lingyue’s body jolted as if electrocuted, his pale face like paper, floating unsteadily in the sky before he could no longer hold on, and a spurt of blood gushed out.

At this moment, the organs inside his body were completely shattered; even the lightest touch could turn his insides into dust.

Life was swiftly leaving him, his end was merely moments away.

An Jing said nothing, watching this master from the same era as Jiang Shang and Ye Ding. Had he not left the Demon Sect, perhaps he would be fighting shoulder to shoulder with him now.

But if he had not left the Demon Sect, he would no longer be the Feng Lingyue he was.

Feng Lingyue’s expression was wilted, his weak eyes looking ahead as if seeing An Jing, and also as though he was gazing at the rising Chaoyang behind him.

To die is to no longer come back; the sorrows, grievances, and joys of the world, from now on, would be without entanglement.

Reflecting on the formidable days of the past, enjoying the pleasures of fine clothes and spirited horses in youth, and being a recognized grandmaster of the Seven Factions’ Old Ancestor of the Five Poison Sect at the brink of death—he had attained everything he ought to have in life. Now dying in the Jianghu, what more could he ask for?

“Hahahaha!”

With these thoughts, Feng Lingyue burst into laughter.

I crossed the mortal world just to experience it.

Since his organs had already been shattered by the powerful Sword Qi, his laughter ultimately triggered his body’s frailties, and with a tremble, Feng Lingyue fell to the ground with a thud.

Feng Lingyue breathed his last.

The founder of the Five Poison Sect, formerly the head of the Demon Sect’s Five Poisons, died on Blue Sky Island.

Ye Ding and Yu Ying remained expressionless as if Feng Lingyue’s death—indeed, the death of anyone present—was inconsequential to them and held no significance.

“It’s your turn now…”

An Jing turned his attention to Ye Ding and Yu Ying, who were seated on the ground.

In a detached tone, Ye Ding said, “You may take away the four Heaven and Earth Spirit Essences inside me as you wish.”

Yu Ying, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically silent, not saying a word.

An Jing raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was amiss.

In the last clash with Ye Ding, Ye Ding held back some of his True Qi. Otherwise, the outcome might still be uncertain, and An Jing himself would have had to use that remnant soul within his Dantian.

Why would Ye Ding do such a thing?

“What a splendid battle that was.”

Just then, a voice came from a distance, echoing in the ears of the three.
