Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 73 – The Transformation of Duel Techniques
Douglas Situ remained silent, his palm clenched, shattering the restriction around his courtyard. Several demon beasts from the beast pen charged up the mountain to join the battle.
"It seems you're at the end of your rope," Jiang He mocked.
What Jiang He feared most were the demon beasts Douglas Situ had tamed. If Douglas had truly brought them to attack him, the outcome would have been uncertain.
But now, with Douglas lacking manpower and without the aid of his beasts, Jiang He felt confident.
Douglas formed a hand seal, and his flying sword immediately shot towards Jiang He.
Jiang He lightly stomped the ground, causing stones to rise and block the flying sword.
"Your cultivation is inferior to mine, and your beasts can't help you. Since you're out of tricks, it's my turn." Jiang He raised his hand, shattering a stone pillar into rubble that rained down on Douglas.
Douglas quickly recalled his flying sword, slicing through the falling stones, but they kept coming. He could only dodge left and right, unable to counterattack.
"It's over." Jiang He clashed his fists together, sending two stone pillars flying from either side, trapping Douglas. He then formed another hand seal, causing the stones to bind Douglas's limbs tightly, and a massive boulder descended from above. "Die!"
With a thunderous crash, the ground was smashed into a deep pit, raising clouds of dust.
As the dust settled, Jiang He dispersed the stones, only to find the ground empty. His pupils contracted.
A flash of sword light, carrying a bone-chilling cold, shot straight for Jiang He's throat.
"Solidify!" Jiang He's body instantly turned to stone, and he quickly turned his head.
However, the flying sword was too fast for him to dodge completely. Fortunately, his stone skin blocked the attack, preventing a fatal wound.
Jiang He firmly gripped Douglas's flying sword with his stone hand, wiping the blood from his throat with his other hand. He sneered as crisscrossing stone pillars rose, trapping Douglas who had fled to a distance.
"Today, I'll use your head to show those scheming cultivators on Dusk Mountain who the true master is!"
Jiang He clenched his fist, and the stone pillars tightened, as if to crush Douglas into pieces.
Douglas's body surged with spiritual energy, shattering the stone pillars. He drew another flying sword from his storage bag, pointing it at Jiang He.
"Don't be hasty. Our fight has just begun."
"Hmph, still stubborn even in the face of death." Jiang He sneered, about to strike, when he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and looked down the mountain.
Three figures shrouded in black mist passed through the restriction, the two on the sides holding the arms of the one in the middle. In a few breaths, they reached the mountaintop.
The cultivation of the person in the middle was only at Qi Refinement Level Three, but the two beside him were at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, just like Jiang He.

Jiang He's expression turned extremely serious. "This is a matter of Dusk Mountain. Please do not interfere. I will reward you handsomely afterward."
The three figures remained silent, simply staring at Jiang He.
Douglas Situ laughed heartily. "Jiang He, you underestimate me and another person you thought was dead."
Jiang He finally realized something and looked sharply at the figure in the middle of the black mist.
"It's you!"
The black mist slowly dissipated, revealing a handsome face. It was Ghost Guest.
"Mountain Lord, you look quite disappointed," Ghost Guest said with a faint smile, glancing at Jiang He.
Jiang He's fists clenched tightly, cracking sounds echoing as he stared at the unscathed Ghost Guest, filled with disbelief.
But now was clearly not the time to seek the truth.
Jiang He looked at the two beside Ghost Guest and sneered. "Even with you two, the situation won't change. I can wear you down to death even if it costs my life. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Oh? What if you add me to the mix?"
Elijah Shen walked over slowly from a distance, exchanging a smile with Douglas Situ, ignoring Wei Hu completely.
Others might abandon Douglas, but Elijah, his childhood friend, would never give up on him.
Four cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refinement—such power was enough to shake and even change the situation.
Jiang He looked at them, his calm demeanor finally giving way to panic.
"Thank you, both of you," Ghost Guest cupped his fists in salute to the two beside him.
The one on the right was the first to charge, wielding a bronze sword from his back. The sword Qi was cold and fierce, decapitating heads with ease. A black pearl in his hand emitted a ghostly green light, causing any cultivator it touched to lose their mind, becoming easy prey.
The one on the left also held a black pearl, taking two corpses wrapped in chains from his storage bag. As the ghostly green light shone, the corpses' eyes snapped open, and they charged into the crowd.
These corpses, as hard as metal, were impervious to spells. Their physical strength alone could crush cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refinement.
"It's you two!" Jiang He's pupils contracted violently.
Brian Qin and Robert Zhou.
Though their forms were shrouded in black mist and their voices hoarse, Jiang He could easily guess their identities based on their techniques and his frequent dealings with the Law Enforcement Hall as Mountain Lord.
But he dared not speak it aloud. Revealing their identities would mean a fight to the death. The deeds of the Law Enforcement Hall were secrets to be kept, a rule everyone had to follow.
Jiang He raised his hand, sending a barrage of boulders crashing down on Ghost Guest.
Ghost Guest stood unmoved.
Elijah Shen waved his sleeve, summoning a wall of trees from the ground to block the boulders. He looked at Jiang He with a mocking gaze.
"Can't tell if you're smart or stupid, thinking killing him would break the stalemate. Even the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn't dare kill him, yet you do. You've got guts."
Jiang He's face stiffened, but Brian Qin and Robert Zhou had already reached him, forcing him to defend with all his might, unable to spare a word.
"Alright, let's each play our part," Elijah Shen patted Ghost Guest on the shoulder and charged at Jiang He alongside Douglas Situ.
Several green vines burst from the ground, lifting Ghost Guest into the air. Poisonous Five Poison Flowers bloomed on the vines, releasing a thick toxic mist. Cultivators caught in the mist immediately felt dizzy and staggered.
Ghost Guest charged straight at John Wei, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Sensing the danger, John Wei abandoned his current opponent, forming a hand seal to launch fireballs that exploded around Ghost Guest.
Ghost Guest dodged all the fireballs, and thick vines burst from the ground around John Wei, entangling his limbs.

John Wei snorted, flames igniting on his body, quickly turning the vines to ash as he charged at Ghost Guest.
But Ghost Guest had already widened the distance. Each step John Wei took was hindered by more vines, preventing him from getting close.
As the Five Poison Flowers on the vines bloomed, their potent toxins began to invade John Wei's body, slowing him down. He grew further from Ghost Guest, gnashing his teeth in frustration but unable to do anything.
Douglas Situ glanced over, surprised.
In his memory, Ghost Guest had always been focused on cultivation, not skilled in combat. But now, Ghost Guest's attacks were methodical and deadly, as if he had been through countless battles.
Douglas knew Ghost Guest wasn't dead and that he had been with the Law Enforcement Hall. But he couldn't understand what Ghost Guest had experienced to change so drastically in just over a month.
