I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 224 - 171: Demon Sect (2)

At the moment when everyone was busy dodging, Qin Yuesheng noticed a black shadow suddenly bursting out from the abdomen of the Great Han, heading straight for the chest of a nearby young man.

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, a fist-sized blood hole instantly appeared in the man's chest, piercing through from the front to the back.

Hiss! Hiss!

A monstrous creature, resembling a mass of slime, sticky and black all over but having an ugly human face, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The speed of this creature was beyond imagination and possessed an undeniable aggressiveness, capable of killing a Martial Artist in an instant, chilling the hearts of every Martial Artist present and causing shivers down their spines. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

At this moment, a fierce blade aura shot into the sky, aiming directly at the swordsman attacked by the monster.

With his chest pierced through, it was a fatal injury that even immortals couldn't save. In Qin Yuesheng's eyes, this person was already a lifeless corpse, open to any attack.

A warrior's blade aura slashed down from above him in an instant, cutting him in half.

Hiss! Hiss!

The black slime human face at the man's chest let out a strange hiss and was directly cleaved in half by Qin Yuesheng's blade aura. But even so, it was not affected and instead quickly merged back together, leaping straight toward Qin Yuesheng.

The thing Qin Yuesheng feared least was an evil entity actively targeting him. He immediately mobilized his Dantian Inner Strength and reached out a palm to grab at the fiend.

The Profound Celestial Internal Power, with its evil-banishing abilities, wholly enveloped Qin Yuesheng's body, aided by Primordial Qi.

As Qin Yuesheng's palm grabbed the black slime human face, it immediately sounded like a snowball dropped onto a scorching iron plate, emitting a burning noise.

Both Profound Celestial Internal Power and Primordial Qi are extremely restraining for evil entities. With these two protecting him, Qin Yuesheng naturally was unafraid of any ghostly anomalies.

The human face hissed and crackled from being burned, and instantly opened its mouth intending to bite Qin Yuesheng's palm.

Qin Yuesheng directly activated the disintegration function.

[Yes/No—Disintegrate 'Parasitic Evil Entity']

[Disintegration Success Rate, 30%]

"Yes."

[Disintegration Failed]

Seeing how persistently resilient this evil entity was, Qin Yuesheng immediately drove the Celestial Demon Evil Blade into the ground, pounding the parasitic evil entity with both fists.

Under the dual sealing of Profound Celestial Internal Power and Primordial Qi, this thing couldn't escape Qin Yuesheng's grasp. Within a few punches, it was already near death, at which point Qin Yuesheng reactivated the disintegration function, effortlessly breaking it down completely, leaving two pearl-like black spheres on the ground.

Qin Yuesheng slain the parasitic evil entity in mere blinks of an eye. By the time others reacted, he had already settled the dust and finished the battle.

"Who is this person, killing that demon as easily as drinking water, effortlessly."

"Not sure, never seen him before."

"Hey, this seems like the ninety-ninth on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, Black Rosalia Qin Yuesheng."

Picking up the two spheres, the super aide indicated that these items were edible and had the effect of enhancing one's Inner Strength.

This minor episode did not bring Qin Yuesheng any relief; instead, it made him more worried.

Previously, according to the invitation letter confiscated from Situ Xing, it was stated that the Jiangnan Martial Arts Assembly was called as people of the Demon Sect had come to Jiangnan intending to seize the White Yue Sword Saint's sword tomb secrets.

For this reason, Jiangnan martial arts gathered under the banner of the Autumn Householder, appearing at the Autumn House today.

But now, on the morning of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Assembly, the Autumn House was slaughtered, a huge slap to the face of Jiangnan martial arts.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuesheng recalled an incident where, before the Autumn House organized the Jiangnan Martial Arts Assembly, disciples across various factions in Jiangnan had been dying under mysterious circumstances.

All these events linked together brought several keywords to Qin Yuesheng's mind at once.

Demon Sect, evil entity, sword tomb secrets.

These three held an inseparable connection.

"The Autumn House intended to unite all of Jiangnan martial arts to resist the Demon Sect, to prevent them from acquiring the sword tomb secrets. Learning of this, the Demon Sect took action to remove the leading figure of the Autumn House, which was reasonable. But the problem lies in the Demon Sect seemingly mastering the control of evil entities, enabled by using their power to devastate the entire Autumn House overnight," Qin Yuesheng mused out some clues before quickly leaving the main hall.

Since the issue lies with the Demon Sect, he now had to find several avenues to understand the matters concerning them. And within the Jiangnan region, the parties most familiar with the Demon Sect would be those top forces equal in status to the Autumn House.

While the swordsmen outside continued to rush into the Autumn House, Qin Yuesheng directly went in reverse, returning first to Yangzhou Prefecture.

After he left for half a stick of incense, an army came from the direction of Yangzhou Prefecture, with soldiers heavily controlling the entire Autumn House.

...

Jiangnan Martial Arts has always been known by one Sect, one School, and one Manor.

This refers to the Thunder Fist Sect, the Sword and Saber Sect, and the Autumn House.

This Jiangnan Martial Arts Assembly, although spearheaded by the Autumn House, had both the Thunder Fist Sect and the Sword and Saber Sect contributing personnel and effort behind the scenes. The sudden demise of the Autumn House was undoubtedly the most shocking to them.

Yangzhou Inn.

A middle-aged man stood at the window with his hands on his back, gazing at the towering city walls of Yangzhou Prefecture in the distance.

At the table inside, three young men gloomily sipping tea.

At this moment, the room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and two sweating teenagers burst in, panting heavily.

"Third Master Uncle, seniors, the government has seized control of the Autumn House and ordered all Jianghu people to leave; even we couldn't avoid it."

The middle-aged man turned around, "Were you able to find that thing?"

"We searched the entire manor but didn't find the box you mentioned, Third Master Uncle."

"Did you check Autumn Zhong and Shui Cangsheng's bodies?"

"We checked, but found nothing, Third Master Uncle."

The middle-aged man sighed, "It seems the remainder of the map has already been taken by the Demon Sect. I really underestimated their level of madness."

One of the tea-drinking youths immediately said, "Third Master Uncle, with the remainder of the map the Demon Sect obtained from the Autumn House, they are one step closer to the sword tomb's secrets."

"That's what I'm afraid of; everyone knows Jiangnan holds White Yue Sword Saint's sword tomb secrets. But unless the four remnants of the map are gathered, it can't be accurately located. The Demon Sect's killing those sect disciples earlier was undoubtedly in search of the remnants and somehow got wind of the Autumn House possessing one."

The youth suddenly froze, "Third Master Uncle, doesn't that mean our Thunder Fist Sect is also in danger?"

"Stop the nonsense, follow me quickly. We must leave Yangzhou Prefecture and report back to the Thunder Fist Sect." With the middle-aged man's stern command, the others in the room scrambled to pack their luggage and essentials.

Before long, they rapidly left the inn.

Shortly after the Thunder Fist Sect beat departed the room, a slender, bamboo-like figure wearing a black conical hat, black robe, and black cloak suddenly emerged from within the wall.

His build very thin and tall, looking just like a pole; numerous black wraps covered his face, leaving only two blood-red eyes exposed.

"The people are gone; judging by the scent, they left not long ago; I might still catch up," the figure muttered before instantly stepping back into the wall, vanishing without leaving a trace of his presence.
