Then, he simultaneously activated the Inner Power Heart Methods of the Demon Saber and the Nine Yin Corpse Claw.

The demon nature of the Demon Saber and the Death Qi of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw surged turbulently within his body.

In just an instant, they gathered into a mass, like a cloud river, washing towards the Demon Seed in his Dantian.

The fusion of demon nature and Death Qi reached the Dantian and enveloped the Demon Seed.

The Demon Seed, stimulated by the demon nature and Death Qi, glowed an even brighter purple.

Waves of the Power of Demon Technique rippled out from the Demon Seed like tides.

Aside from the stimulus of demon nature and Death Qi, the Demon Seed was also influenced by the Affiliated Demon Seed.

Even though it was nighttime at this moment, many martial artists with Demon Seeds planted by him were still practicing.

True Profound Sect’s, Eight Trigrams Sect’s, Xingyi Sect’s... each was extremely diligent martial artists.

The emotions and demon thoughts arising during their practice were transmitted to the Affiliated Demon Seeds, magnified several times or even dozens of times, and transformed into waves through the connection of the Demon Seed, impacting Su Que.

Su Que’s spirit and body were being strengthened.

In terms of attributes, the number representing his remaining lifespan kept flashing.

In the center of his brow, a cool sensation was born, giving a solid feeling.

Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique (4th Realm Elite 89%), Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique (4th Realm Elite 90%)...

Under the influence of demon nature, Death Qi, and the Affiliated Demon Seed, the cultivation progress of the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique gradually increased.

The Demon Seed grew larger, and the purple glow became brighter, resembling a purple blazing sun, floating above the Dantian.

At the same time, the Power of Demon Technique emanating from the Demon Seed rippled towards his meridians.

Affecting his demon nature and the Death Qi produced by his Nine Yin Corpse Claw.

Demon Saber (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 37%), Demon Saber (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 38%)...

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 76%), Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 77%)...

The Power of Demon Technique emitted by the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique surprisingly also boosted the Demon Saber and Nine Yin Corpse Claw.

The demon nature continuously spreading in the body gradually grew stronger.

The pale white Death Qi circulating through the meridians, influenced by the Power of Demon Technique, became more sinister.

Su Que kept cultivating until he sensed with his spirit that Su Jing had fallen asleep, then he suddenly stood up from the bed.

He opened the door, closed it carefully, and performed a Dry Land Onion Pulling.

His figure suddenly disappeared, first jumping onto the roof, then, with a touch of his toe, he used Lightweight Skill to swiftly head towards the cave where items were hidden.

Su Que reached the cave where items were hidden, donned his Martial Attire, put on a grim ghost mask, cloaked himself, and then used Lightweight Skill.

The wind rustled his clothing as he headed south.

Li Xuanji said that the White Lotus Sect members were causing trouble in Celestial River Prefecture, so the army led by Li Xuanji must be heading south.

As long as he followed Li Xuanji’s army, lurking quietly beside them, he should be able to wait for the appearance of the White Lotus Sect Leader, Xu Tianzhi.

Su Que’s Lightweight Skill was excellent, and because his spirit was extremely strong, a mere sweep across the ground allowed him to spot the footprints of Li Xuanji’s marching army.

He followed the footprints, flying swiftly along the way.

In no time, he caught up with Li Xuanji’s army.

Beside Li Xuanji were experts absorbed from the Central Plains and the Demon Alliance.

He walked while feeling anxious in his heart.

Although he recently subdued the Demon Alliance and had previously absorbed some martial arts experts from the Central Plains,

even the most formidable experts among them were still no match for his mid-stage Gang Condensation Realm level, achieved through the cultivation of the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.

If White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Tianzhi truly engaged and escaped from Kong Wo of the Great Buddha Temple,

then, even if Xu Tianzhi wasn’t as strong as Kong Wo, he would at least be at that level.

Li Xuanji saw they had already entered Celestial River Prefecture, yet the mysterious expert had not arrived, so how could his heart not feel anxious?

Li Xuanji activated the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, fully releasing his senses to deal with the possible upcoming White Lotus Sect attack.

Su Que, moving alongside the army in the trees, also used Lightweight Skill to follow them.

Even with Li Xuanji’s senses fully open, he still did not detect anything.

...

Not far from Li Xuanji was a county town.

Xu Tianzhi occupied the residence of the County Magistrate of that town, breaking the Buddha statue in the family Buddhist hall, sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

He absorbed human blood, plus the miraculous healing effect of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The wounds Kong Wo inflicted upon him were completely healed at this moment.

"Sect Leader, Li Xuanji is advancing with troops!"

A White Lotus Sect member stood firm outside the room where Xu Tianzhi was, reporting.

"Good!"

Xu Tianzhi activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, exploding his True Qi like a flood.

The True Qi released to the outside held Xu Tianzhi aloft.

Then he stretched out completely in the air.

Kicking both feet in the air, he released more True Qi, propelling himself out of the Buddhist hall like an eagle.

Then, a touch of his foot sent him vaulting high into the air, turning into a blurry shadow headed south of the residence.

"Sect Leader, should we dispatch troops?"

The reporting White Lotus Sect member saw Xu Tianzhi leaving like that and shouted loudly.

"Wait for now."

Xu Tianzhi’s voice rippled across from afar.

As he said this, he was already ten miles away.

He had received intelligence that under Li Xuanji’s command, the most outstanding martial artists were only at the Gang Condensation Realm, while he was at the Tribulation Seed Realm.

Dealing with Li Xuanji and the others was like squashing ants.

The Heaven-Breaking Army kept their whereabouts well hidden, which was why he couldn’t locate Li Xuanji before.

Now with Li Xuanji appearing, there was no need to bring followers; he could capture Li Xuanji quickly by himself.

Thus annexing the entire Heaven-Breaking Army under his own command.

Xu Tianzhi contemplated while using Lightweight Skill.

In a blink, he darted further ahead.

Soon, he entered a forest.

As his right foot touched the ground and he leveraged forward again,

suddenly, by his right ear, came a voice:

"Xu Tianzhi!"

"Who calls me?"

Xu Tianzhi’s pupils slightly widened, abruptly halting his steps, protecting himself with both hands in front, and looking toward the voice’s direction.

In the deep, dark forest, a person clad in Martial Attire, wearing a cloak and a grim ghost mask, emerged from the woods.

"Who are you?"

Xu Tianzhi’s eyes widened at Su Que.

His silver hair floated in the wind, with a pair of white eyebrows on his angry face arching upwards.

Bam!

Xu Tianzhi didn’t expect that his inquiry would not receive an answer.

Instead, he was answered by a fist surging with black aura.

Su Que unleashed his Dark Evil Fist, both fists rising with Dark Fist Force.

Like transforming into a bolt of black lightning, it aimed at Xu Tianzhi.

Arriving here, Su Que intended to use Xu Tianzhi to practice the Dark Evil Fist, so naturally, there was no need for words.

"How bold!"

Seeing Su Que daring to strike at him, Xu Tianzhi shouted angrily.

Both of his raised white eyebrows climbed even higher.

He activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, stirring up the power within his Dantian’s Tribulation Seed.

The Tribulation Seed is a combination of Essence Qi and Spirit.

Once the power of the Tribulation Seed was activated, the power in muscles, True Qi in meridians, and Divine Intent in the body surged together.

He spread his five fingers from his waist and pushed forward to his chest.

At once, a scorching power erupted from him.

The surrounding trees, upon contact with this scorching power, immediately showed tiny flames.

Soon, they burned intensely.

In front of Xu Tianzhi’s chest, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered in an instant, mixed with his True Qi, transforming into nine head-sized fireballs.

From the fireballs emanated thunderous sounds, as if in an instant, several explosions took place within.

’Nine Yang Thunderbolt!’

This is a killing move that can only be cultivated when the Nine Yang Divine Skill reaches a high realm.

Each fireball contains extremely terrifying power.

A fierce glint flashed in Xu Tianzhi’s eyes.

He activated the power of the Tribulation Seed, and as his left foot tapped the ground, he pushed the nine fireballs towards Su Que!
