Chapter 1211: Massacre (Part One)
The leading Spirit Master, seeing how formidable Jing Qi and Jing Miao, the two siblings, were, felt a deep sense of dread alongside his shock. His expression instantly turned incredibly grim.
"Who exactly are you two? Why are you opposing us? Do you have any idea what you're doing? Your actions right now are not only making enemies of us Spirit Mediums, but also of the Talisman Order and many other factions in Ancheng!"
The leading Spirit Medium had not originally intended to speak these words to Jing Qi and Jing Miao. From the moment Jing Qi had attacked them, he had already considered the siblings his enemies. Since they were enemies, killing them would naturally be the best outcome, not only satisfying his anger but also establishing their authority – a truly beneficial outcome. Therefore, he wouldn't have said such things to Jing Qi and Jing Miao.
However, all of this came with a prerequisite, and that prerequisite was based on his ability to deal with Jing Qi and Jing Miao. But from the current situation, dealing with the siblings was not going to be an easy task.
It was precisely because of this that he now shouted these words, disregarding his own face.
"Heh heh, my boss is Yang Haoran. Today, our siblings have been ordered by our boss to take your dog lives. You will all die today; no one should even think about leaving this place alive!"
It was Jing Qi who spoke. Although Jing Qi was rapidly moving his body and constantly reaping enemies' lives with his heavy sword, this did not prevent him from speaking.
Jing Qi's tone of voice at this moment carried an intense excitement, and his laughter seemed morbidly abnormal. If one could have captured his facial expression at that moment, they would have noticed that his ferocious grin was significantly more pronounced than before.
Not all Night Watchers in the entire Ninth District knew Yang Haoran, nor did all of them know of Yang Haoran, this Guardian. However, the Ancheng Underworld Division was an exception. Although not all of them had met Yang Haoran, they knew that Yang Haoran was the Guardian of their Jingling Continent's Ninth District. Since the Ninth District's Guardian District was established in Lecheng, and their Ancheng was right next to Yang Haoran's Guardian District, how could they not know Yang Haoran?
They had originally been somewhat puzzled as to why these young demon cultivators would extend a helping hand to them. Now, hearing Jing Qi's words, not only was their confusion resolved, but their awe and reverence for Yang Haoran also increased significantly once more.
Of course, some on the Spirit Medium side also knew Yang Haoran. After all, Yang Haoran was the Guardian of the Jingling Continent's Underworld Office Ninth District. Such an identity would inevitably be secretly investigated by enemies, so there were quite a few who knew Yang Haoran, including the leading Spirit Medium.
Upon hearing that Jing Qi and Jing Miao, the two siblings, were sent by Yang Haoran, the leading Spirit Medium's expression turned even uglier, and at the same time, he felt a strong shock. He had not expected that Yang Haoran, as an Underworld Office Guardian, actually had Demon Cult experts under his command.
Besides shock, the leading Spirit Medium also felt intense anger. It was true that he was somewhat wary of Jing Qi and Jing Miao's strength, but that didn't mean he had no chance of winning against them.
The leading Spirit Medium still had some confidence in his own strength and in some methods he had never before used in front of others.
Furthermore, there were quite a few strong individuals on their Spirit Medium side. Besides their three Spirit Masters, there were also two Black Talisman Masters from the Ancheng Talisman Order. Although the leaders of other minor factions didn't meet the standards of Spirit Masters or Black Talisman Masters, there were still a few capable fighters among them.
The most crucial point was that they had many people, while Jing Qi and Jing Miao, no matter how strong, were only two. Even with the Ancheng Underworld Division's scattered remnants, it would absolutely not affect the overall situation.
Therefore, the leading Spirit Medium did not believe that their side would lose, yet Jing Qi's words were incredibly arrogant, directly sentencing all of them to death. How could he possibly tolerate that!
The fury in his heart dispelled any remaining apprehension he had towards Jing Qi and Jing Miao!
"It seems if I don't give you a taste of your own medicine, you won't know that there are always people stronger than yourself. To think you want to slaughter all of us here—aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? !"
The leading Spirit Medium roared, his furious voice echoing above the Death God Temple. As his words fell, a powerful wave of energy erupted from him. With dense Yin Qi rising from his body, his Guardian Spirit was also summoned, appearing in the air behind him.
From the leading Spirit Medium's words and actions, it was clear he had decided to act personally. However, before he could make a move, a blood shadow suddenly appeared not far in front of him, fiercely swinging the heavy sword in its hands.
This blood shadow was none other than Jing Qi, who had been frantically slaughtering on the ground just a moment before.
The leading Spirit Medium's pupils sharply dilated. The scene before him frightened him greatly, because Jing Qi was clearly some distance away from him. Within such a short distance, if Jing Qi wanted to approach him, it would definitely take a certain amount of time, and he would have been able to react effectively within that time.
But the reality was vastly different from his expectations. Jing Qi merely flickered and vanished from his original spot, reappearing directly in front of him. This speed far exceeded his predictions, and also far surpassed the speed Jing Qi had just displayed.
Due to the extremely close distance between them and Jing Qi's incredibly swift attack, the leading Spirit Medium had absolutely not anticipated such a situation and had made no prior preparations. Thus, facing Jing Qi's sudden downward slash, the leading Spirit Medium didn't even have time to defend before a bloody sword qi pierced through his body.
It wasn't just the leading Spirit Medium; even the Guardian Spirit he had just summoned behind him couldn't evade Jing Qi's sudden, heavy cleave. Its Spirit Body was also sliced open by the bloody sword qi.
The leading Spirit Medium stared dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that everything happening before him was real. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but before a single word could escape, a bloodline appeared on his body, blood spurted out, and his entire body was split in two, completely losing its life.
Although the Guardian Spirit's Spirit Body behind him was also split in two by the bloody sword qi, it only suffered heavy injuries and did not end up undergoing Soul Transformation. After its cleaved Spirit Body re-coalesced, it appeared much fainter, no longer as solid as before.
His own master had been instantly killed by a single sword strike from Jing Qi, which was enough to show how formidable Jing Qi's strength was. This Guardian Spirit was no fool; he naturally knew he was no match for Jing Qi. So, after re-coalescing his Spirit Body, he immediately fled into the distance without a second thought.
Jing Qi knew that souls were useful to Underworld Officials, and the more powerful the soul, the greater its use, because they could be exchanged for Soul Pills needed to increase one's strength in the Underworld, even for a Guardian like Yang Haoran.
It was precisely because Jing Qi understood that this Guardian Spirit was useful to Yang Haoran that he would not only prevent this Guardian Spirit from escaping but also capture it alive. Otherwise, he would have directly shattered this Guardian Spirit into Soul Transformation.
Watching the Guardian Spirit flee into the distance, Jing Qi sneered coldly, unhurriedly thrusting his heavy sword into the void in front of him. The sword seemed to have been thrust into solid ground, not missing its mark at all.
His internal power, channeled through his hands pressed on the hilt, was injected into the heavy sword. Subsequently, tiny bloodlines burst forth from the sword's tip, enveloping the fleeing Guardian Spirit.
The bloodlines were extremely fast, much faster than the Guardian Spirit's escape speed. Because of this, the bloodlines quickly caught up to the Guardian Spirit and surrounded it from multiple directions, sealing off all its escape routes.
Facing this situation, the Guardian Spirit naturally resisted desperately, because it knew very well that once entangled by these bloodlines, it would not be able to escape today and would be at the mercy of its opponent.
However, its counterattack was utterly powerless against these bloodlines. The bloodlines did not disappear because of its counterattack, nor did they slow down. On the contrary, its counterattack did not hinder the bloodlines much at all, and its Spirit Body was quickly and tightly bound by numerous bloodlines.
Although its body was a Spirit Body and not a physical one, these tiny bloodlines were condensed from power and were not physical objects either, so even when facing a Spirit Body, these bloodlines could still bind and control it.
After being bound by the bloodlines, the Guardian Spirit did not surrender or stop struggling. It still used all its power to struggle violently, even dispersing its Spirit Body into Yin Qi, hoping to break free from the bloodlines' restraint using this method. Unfortunately, everything it did had no effect; instead, the bloodlines tightened further with its struggles.
Once the bloodlines had the Guardian Spirit under control, Jing Qi didn't waste any more time on it. At this moment, he had no leisure to waste time on a Guardian Spirit that was not very strong to him.
"You two, master and servant, have greatly overestimated your strength. To me, your level is no different from ants."
After these words fell, Jing Qi pulled out the heavy sword he had thrust into the void, then, with a ferocious grin, he swooped down towards the most densely packed area of the crowd.
The leading Spirit Medium had been instantly killed by Jing Qi's single sword strike, without even having the chance to display any of his abilities. This scene truly shocked everyone present, except for Jing Miao!
