At this moment, everyone felt that heavy sound of falling to the ground resonate within their own hearts, becoming a heavy blow.

From the Nineteen Continents to the Extreme Domain, no one had reacted.

Whether cultivators or ghost cultivators, none understood how Hengxu Laoguai’s Execute Evil seal had suddenly targeted one of their own!

The mighty cultivators also felt quite alarmed, unable to help but look at each other.

Only Fairy Xuanyue’s gaze changed, falling on Hengxu Laoguai, then turning to Jian Chou’s figure in mid-air too late to render aid, and sighed: “This is going to be bad…”

The massive body fell to the ground, almost covering half the Extreme Domain. Blood flowed into rivers, while torn wings scattered in the distance.

His island-like back was covered with cracks.

Viewed from above, he was already on his last breath, unable even to cry out in grief—a shocking sight!

Jian Chou’s hands were trembling, her heart was trembling, and even the ghost ax gripped in her palm trembled lightly along with them.

Thousands upon thousands of thoughts thundered in her mind!

There was the hostility of most cultivators at Tomorrow Star Sea; there was the warning Xie Buchen had conveyed to her through Fu Chaosheng’s mouth; there was what that supreme evil great demon had said to her in the vast snowy domain: “If old friends think I should exist, then I shall exist”…

In the earth fissure, that escaping centipede shadow had long vanished.

Hengxu Laoguai’s Execute Evil seal failing to strike it, and causing those originally pursuing it to freeze, gave it the perfect opportunity.

A thread of fading shadow, no longer traceable!

But at such a time, who still had the mind to pursue?

Standing ethereally in mid-air, Jian Chou’s mountain and river robes were swept up by the wind, rising and falling like the vicissitudes of this chess-like world. The ghost ax quietly disappeared, and what she gripped again was that crimson-red Thread of Sky!

Dangerous aura surged around her entire being.

When she spoke, her voice was cold and deep, filled with killing intent: “What does the Immortal mean by this!”

“Supreme demon, supreme evil—must be executed!”

Face pale as paper, red glow still lingering in his eyes.

After striking the second Execute Evil seal, Hengxu Laoguai’s meridians and Nascent Soul had already suffered severe damage, no longer able to maintain that octagonal chessboard floating above ground. Immediately, dark blue radiance receded like tide, and the Execute Evil seal vanished without trace.

His four words “supreme demon, supreme evil” were spoken with fearless solemnity, truly making Jian Chou feel full of absurdity and irony, only sharply retorting: “Daoist Fu just blocked the primordial tribulation punishment for the Immortal! The Immortal shows no gratitude, turning blade against him in an instant—who exactly is the demon! Who—is the evil!”

“Born from the mayfly clan against heaven’s will is demonic! Transformed into deity form, truly of the same clan as Shaoji—that is evil!”

Two fingers together, the rusty sword already condensed.

Hengxu Laoguai had not the slightest mood of being questioned, instead looking back at her with frank, cold expression, speaking loudly to her and to all watching him on this scarred battlefield!

“Shaoji lurks in our realm for unknown purpose! How do we know this creature Fu Chaosheng isn’t birds of a feather with Him? What of killing him?!”

“What a ‘what of killing,’ what a ‘what of killing’!”

Jian Chou had originally thought Hengxu Laoguai daring to use the method of summoning primordial tribulation punishment to slay Shaoji showed great courage and wisdom, worthy of both fear and respect. But hearing these words, she couldn’t help but laugh aloud!

The Thread of Sky’s sword intent already soared to heaven!

She only coldly smiled at Hengxu: “The Immortal killing my old friend is ‘what of killing’—then if I wished to kill the Immortal today, what of it?!”

“The righteous path under heaven is naturally clear and bright!”

At this moment, behind Hengxu Laoguai stood many cultivators of the Nineteen Continents; though Jian Chou held the Thread of Sky, she stood directly opposite Hengxu, with countless ghost cultivators behind her who still didn’t know what had happened.

Though no one intended to act, this positioning and stance faintly seemed to herald some change.

The scene suddenly became tense with drawn swords!

But Hengxu Laoguai showed no fear on his face. Not only did he respond to Jian Chou with righteous indignation, but at this moment shouted angrily to those behind him without turning back: “Go pursue!”

Kunwu’s disciples were momentarily stunned.

Xie Buchen stood among the crowd, his indifferent eyes showing no fluctuation. With just a lowered gaze, he had already flown out, simultaneously saying to the other Kunwu disciples behind him: “Fellow senior brothers, shall we go together?”

Wu Duan, Wang Que and others all hesitated somewhat.

But half of Kunwu’s disciples had already understood Hengxu Laoguai’s meaning at this moment: eliminate evil completely! Fu Chaosheng had first taken forty percent of the primordial tribulation punishment’s power, then received one Execute Evil seal strike—he must be severely injured. At this moment, unknown where he had fallen in the eighteen layers of hell, they should pursue and kill him!

They couldn’t spare much thought, obeying the command and departing.

Wang Que looked at Xie Buchen’s figure whose depths were completely unfathomable, then glanced at Jian Chou who seemed about to fight Hengxu Laoguai, finally flickering and raising his sword to join Xie Buchen and a small half of Kunwu’s disciples, plunging toward the massive fissure below to pursue Fu Chaosheng’s demon trace!

This was clearly intent on killing Fu Chaosheng no matter what!

Jian Chou only felt that in terms of decisive killing, she still fell far short of this so-called righteous path leader Hengxu Laoguai!

She truly wanted to strike while he was weak and take his life!

But Kunwu’s people had already pursued, including the unpredictable Xie Buchen among them—how could she dare fight boldly now?

Fu Chaosheng’s participation in this battle between yin and yang realms was almost entirely because of her alone. When victory and defeat were finally decided, such a change occurred!

If he truly met with misfortune, how could her heart be at peace?

In this instant, she clearly hated Hengxu to the bone, yet forcibly gritted her teeth and endured, looking deeply at him once. She directly withdrew her sword momentum and was about to leave!

“Friend Jian Chou should think clearly—this departure means becoming enemy to my Kunwu, enemy to this world’s clear and bright righteous path!”

Hengxu watched her, his gaze sharp, coldly demanding.

Simultaneously raising his hand in a wave!

He was originally Kunwu’s First Seat, holding formation seals in his palm connected to the sword formation Kunwu disciples had formed earlier in battle. At this moment, raising his hand, he triggered the sword formation to activate again, actually striking toward Jian Chou!

Jian Chou only replied with cold indifference: “What of being enemies?”

The sword formation’s hundreds of sword lights blocked her path!

She didn’t retreat even half a step, facing this dazzling sword light with a blood moon sword strike that rang throughout heaven and earth!

“Rip—”

She was already a bounded mighty being—how could Kunwu’s mere half-formed sword formation be her match? In just one moment, she tore open a massive gap!

Many disciples were further backlashed by this sword’s might, suddenly spitting blood!

Jian Chou didn’t even glance at them, her figure like lightning.

At the same time, her wide sleeves swept, actually directly transforming the dying kun on the ground into a small black fish, tucking it into her sleeve!

In the blink of an eye, she had vanished from everyone’s sight, pursuing Xie Buchen and the others.

“Cough…”

Only then did Hengxu Laoguai cough up another mouthful of blood. His already ashen face actually grew another shade paler, and the rusty sword he had condensed earlier instantly crumbled at his fingertips!

He could no longer support himself.

In mid-air, his figure swayed and he actually fell down!

Among Kunwu’s thirteen true disciples, Yue He, Dong Zhui and others remained. Seeing this situation, all were greatly alarmed and hurriedly rushed over to support him!

When he landed, he could hardly even stand.

All around arose alarmed cries: “Immortal—”

Hengxu Laoguai only felt his qi and blood throughout his body had declined. Without careful examination, he already knew most of his cultivation had scattered, and his vision suddenly blurred.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the gaze Fudao Shanren cast toward him from the side.

Both heavy and cold.

Perhaps there was also some suppressed anger and sad disappointment?

But he didn’t turn back to look even once, only forcefully gripping Yue He’s arm beside him, struggling to keep himself from falling, then surveying the scene.

On the battlefield, weapons had ceased.

The many ghost cultivators of the Extreme Domain all looked bewildered; among the cultivators of the Nineteen Continents, there was more amazement and change. Most looked at him—some anxious, some wary, some showing approval in their eyes, others with unconcealed hesitation…

Face after face passed by.

Hengxu Laoguai had originally just glanced around like this, his vision already extremely blurred. But when his gaze inadvertently swept over the many cultivators of Tomorrow Star Sea, he suddenly felt somewhat dazed, asking almost like delirium: “Where is Qu Zhengfeng…”
