Chapter 1851: One Punch Blowout

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng Li’s promise to punch him left San Yin in a fit of laughter, as he looked at Qingfeng Li as if the man was a big joke.

He was a third stage spirit monarch realm master. Not only was he incredibly strong, but he was also in possession of spiritual treasures. Plus, he had on him a treasure robe, an immensely powerful armor with the ability to defend against attacks from third stage spirit monarch realm masters.

Qingfeng Li was clearly beneath the third stage of the spirit monarch realm, yet he was brazen enough to challenge San Yin. It was as if an ant had challenged an elephant to a fight. It was impossible for the ant to defeat the elephant, especially in one strike. It was natural for anyone to find his actions ridiculous.

Not only was San Yin laughing at him, even the dozens of self-cultivators, protectors, generals, and elders also looked at Qingfeng Li with disdain in their eyes.

Many of the self-cultivators had come from the Mystic Sun Realm. There were also quite a few from other kingdoms, and some were just passing by.

They heard noises from the battle and had gathered before Qingfeng Li and San Yin. Suddenly, more than 100 self-cultivators were surrounding the two men, wanting to witness a good show.

Some self-cultivators had recognized San Yin. After all, he was an emperor of a middle tier dynasty, and a master of the Spirit Monarch List ranked in the top 150. He was well-known in the Crimson Fire Continent.

As for Qingfeng Li, his fame was confined to the country of Lingyun. Outside of Lingyun, not many had heard about him, even though he was famous for being ranked in the top 50 of the Devil Rankings.

He got the ranking by killing the White Hair Devil, who was ranked 49th on the list. However, Qingfeng Li was categorized as one of the deadliest killers on the Devil Rankings thanks to his willingness to kill people of the same discipline.

Behind the Peach Blossom She-Devil stood a couple of self-cultivators, the only remaining survivors. As for the dozens of others, they had all died.

The remaining self-cultivators walked to the Peach Blossom She-Devil and whispered, “Boss, do you really think this guy can kill San Yin in one punch? It seems impossible.”

Although Qingfeng Li was on their side, the couple of self-cultivators had just witnessed San Yin’s unmatched powers. Even their Peach Blossom She-Devil was no match for the monster, how could Qingfeng Li defeat him?

The Peach Blossom She-Devil shook her head and said, “I don’t really know, but based on the Sky Wolf Emperor’s confidence in him, I think he may have a chance.”

Truthfully speaking, the Peach Blossom She-Devil was not too confident in Qingfeng Li either. She couldn’t show her doubts, however, as he was helping her. Plus, the Sky Wolf Emperor had spoken for Qingfeng Li with the utmost admiration for the man, which had surprised the Peach Blossom She-Devil as he was always proud as could be.

A thousand years ago, the Sky Wolf Emperor was already a third stage spirit monarch realm master. What incredible talents had led him to such a feat! If it hadn’t been for his injuries, he would have probably reached the sixth stage of the spirit monarch realm already.

Even a man like the Sky Wolf Emperor admired Qingfeng Li, so this could only mean that the latter held more powers than he appeared.

The surrounding voices didn’t faze Qingfeng Li at all. He remained completely calm. He knew that his fist was the most convincing argument. The only way to shut them up was to could kill San Yin with one punch.

With a steady gaze on San Yin, Qingfeng Li said calmly, “Give me your best shot. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”

Qingfeng Li’s words infuriated San Yin as he felt his powers were wholly disregarded by the man. He was a stage three Spirit Monarch pinnacle tier master after all. Since Qingfeng Li asked for it, San Yin decided to stop playing nice and strike first.

“Water Yin Spirit Fist!” With a loud roar, San Yin channeled all of his water-elemental vital essence into his fist.

Suddenly, a thousand-mile sized white fist formed before San Yin. The fist contained a white-water spout, twisting violently and gathering majestic energies.

As soon as the fist appeared, it tore into the atmosphere dozens of gashes, allowing outsiders to peek into its dimensional debris and beings of its foreign world.

On top of this, there were waves of anguished cries emitting from the depth of the dimensional debris, miserable from San Yin’s brutality.

At this sight, the surrounding self-cultivators all gasped in disbelief. They recognized the Water Yin Spirit Fist. It was more than famous within all Monarch grade Punching techniques.

Many self-cultivators of the Crimson Fire Continent had died under the technique, with some of the smaller sect patriarchs dying from San Yin’s single punch. San Yin would then steal away the women of these sects.

Although San Yin had a despicable reputation in the Crimson Fire Continent, no one dared to include him in the Devil Rankings due to his powerful background and his connection to the top tier dynasties. In actuality, however, he had done worse things than people who were listed on the Devil Rankings.

Qingfeng Li watched the thousand-mile white fist and white waterspout with complete calmness, cool as could be as if he was looking at a harmless sheep.

Many self-cultivators gazed at Qingfeng Li with eyes of mockery, thinking that he had been scared silly to the point where he had forgotten to react. What they didn’t know, was that Qingfeng Li’s inaction was because he felt completely unthreatened by San Yin.

“Godly Dragon Fist!” With a loud roar, Qingfeng Li unleashed his recently-learned Godly Dragon Fist.

He had previously practiced the fist with the Fire Dragon soul. However, he was only able to practice a few techniques due to the energy-exhaustive nature of the Godly Dragon Fist.

The dragon bone in Qingfeng Li’s right index finger fused with his dragon blood, creating a piece of dragon scale which held a more powerful punching technique than the Fire Dragon Fist – the Godly Dragon Fist.

The Godly Dragon Fist was also incredibly energy-draining, but it was still manageable for Qingfeng Li. So far, he had formed one dragon scale, meaning he could only unleash one punch.

But it was more than enough to kill San Yin. The technique was used only by the Godly Dragon of the Ancient Era after all.

Just as Qingfeng Li punched out his fist, a giant black hole formed in front of it. The empty black hole immediately blew up the surrounding air, sucking everything in.

A golden Godly Dragon shadow emerged from Qingfeng Li’s thousand-mile fist.

Although the image of the Godly Dragon was faint, it was strangely intimidating, as it was suffocating the entire world. Plus, it contained an energy so violent it could destroy everything.

The Godly Dragon Fist tore through space, leaving the sky dark and the atmosphere caved-in. Black holes began to form, lifting up stones and dirt off the ground and sending them into a storm. The entire atmosphere near the land entered complete darkness, blinding all the surrounding self-cultivators.

Bang!

With a loud boom, the Godly Dragon Fist collided with San Yin’s Water Yin Spirit Fist, shattering it to pieces.

The Godly Dragon Fist continued forward, striking San Yin’s body with an unmatchable force, blowing it apart.

Chapter 1852: San Yin is Too Weak

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

At the sight of Qingfeng Li destroying San Yin with one punch, the crowd was completely stunned. They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

“What did I just see?! Did San Yin, a master ranked in the top 150 of the Spirit Monarch List, just get blown apart by one punch?! Am I dreaming?!”

“You’re not dreaming. San Yin really did just get killed by a single blow, and it was by a twenty-something-year-old young man!”

“Is he trying to turn the world upside down? San Yin is the Emperor of the Water Yin Dynasty. He’s from an incredibly powerful background. Rumor has it that he even has connections to top tier dynasties!”

“Qingfeng Li’s really powerful too! Don’t you see how strong he is?!”

The crowd erupted into chatter as they gasped at Qingfeng Li’s strength, watching him as if he were a supreme master.

As for the dozen self-cultivators behind San Yin, their faces flushed pale, and their eyes were filled with terror. Some had already collapsed to the ground.

They were very familiar with their emperor’s capabilities. He was more than invincible. To their complete surprise, he was completely powerless against the young man standing before them. The latter had annihilated their emperor as if he was a watermelon.

“Ah! I’m furious! You’ve really angered me! How dare you destroy my body?! You bastard, I will kill you!” Suddenly, a raging voice boomed through San Yin’s shattered body.

A spiritual nascent soul crawled out of San Yin’s corpse. It was the size of a fist, and it was formed from San Yin’s mana energies.

San Yin’s nascent soul glared at Qingfeng Li furiously as if he had murdered its whole family.

Qingfeng Li took a step forward, arriving before the San Yin’s nascent soul instantly, reaching out his right hand, and grabbing it with lightning speed. With a small squeeze of his hand, the nascent soul was destroyed.

It was only then had San Yin realized the situation he was in, that Qingfeng Li had total control over him from the very beginning, that not only was his physical body under Qingfeng Li’s control but his soul as well.

San Yin suddenly panicked from this realization. How was the young man so strong? He was almost impossibly powerful.

Qingfeng Li looked coldly at San Yin’s nascent soul as he said, “Weren’t you talking about killing me before? Weren’t you cursing at me? You really thought you could defeat me?!”

His face colorless, San Yin’s nascent soul made its final attempt at survival, threatening Qingfeng Li, “You better let me go and apologize. Otherwise, you’re dead for sure. My older cousin is the emperor of the Spider Dynasty. It’s one one of the top tier dynasties.”

Qingfeng Li pursed his lips and said with disdain, “Are the top tier dynasties supposed to scare me? I’m killing you today. Once your cousin finds me, I’ll kill him too.”

Immediately after, Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and spewed out a ray of Golden Energy. His Golden Energy was now infused with energy from the Gold Dao Seed, making it incredibly sharp and fast, arriving before San Yin’s nascent soul instantly and splitting it in half.

San Yin let out a miserable cry as he dissipated into nothingness.

Qingfeng Li wasn’t about to lose San Yin’s nascent soul. He immediately opened his mouth and devoured its soul into the depth of his own, transforming it into his own spirit energy.

After he finished absorbing San Yin’s nascent soul, Qingfeng Li let out a satisfied burp, feeling completely relaxed and fulfilled, his spirit energy also improved.

Qingfeng Li’s actions stunned the surrounding self-cultivators, all backing away as if they had seen a devil.

For many of the surrounding self-cultivators, Qingfeng Li was beyond cruel and violent. Not only did he destroy San Yin’s body with a single punch, he even ate the latter’s nascent soul. Qingfeng Li was more demonic than the devil himself. They considered him as one of the top 10 on the Devil Rankings.

Qingfeng Li didn’t feel even a slight bit sorry. As far as he was concerned, San Yin was his enemy. He had to eliminate his enemies to remove all possible threat.

San Yin had brought with him a dozen self-cultivators, all of them immensely powerful, with two of them being spirit monarch realm masters. However, at the sight of Qingfeng Li’s powers, they all turned to escape.

Qingfeng Li laughed coldly and said, “It’s better if you stayed. Two thousand times Gravity Technique!”

Suddenly, a gigantic 2000-kilometer black halo formed around Qingfeng Li. The black halo emerged from the depth of the earth and carried a massive gravitational pull, pulling down all of the dozen self-cultivators from the Water Yin Dynasty onto the ground.

Immediately, Qingfeng Li struck out his fist, punching forward, piercing through all of their hearts, and leaving the dozen self-cultivators screaming in agony as they fell to the ground, lifeless.

Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and spewed out another ray of Golden Energy, killing their nascent souls as well, leaving no life behind.

“This is a devil.” The surrounding self-cultivators from other kingdoms and sects all pointed towards Qingfeng Li, bashing his character.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes flashed cold as he glared at the surrounding hundred self-cultivators. He threatened, “Do you all want to die too?”

At the sound of his bone-chilling voice, the crowd all shivered as their faces flushed pale. Trembling, they all turned and ran away.

They had just witnessed Qingfeng Li’s violent arrogance, so they didn’t dare to stay any longer. Qingfeng Li might kill them as well if they crossed him.

Qingfeng Li glanced at the dead San Yin and said lightly, “You’re too weak, without a trace of defense, dying to my single punch.”

At the sound of his voice, the Peach Blossom She-Devil and her remaining followers all looked speechless.

Are you serious?! San Yin is not too weak. You’re just too strong okay? All of us were getting destroyed by him, unable to fend off even one of his attacks. But you destroyed him as if you were squeezing dead a small chick in your hands. The Peach Blossom She-Devil and her followers thought to themselves.

Qingfeng Li walked towards the Peach Blossom She-Devil and said, “Beautiful older sister, are you happy with this ending?”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil rolled her eyes as she clung to Qingfeng Li’s arm, rubbing against it. She said tenderly, “Little Brother, I didn’t expect your power to improve by this much like a rocket, I’m quite surprised. In the future, I’m going to follow you, so you better protect me well.”

She could tell that Qingfeng Li had definitely gained some incredible opportunity to improve at such a rapid speed. Plus, his punching techniques contained a hint of energy from the Godly Dragon, making the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s bloodline subservient to it.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil made a silent promise to follow Qingfeng Li from then on. The woman’s sixth sense had told her that it would be good for her.

Chapter 1853: The Dangers of Qi Deviation

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

While all the other self-cultivators thought that Qingfeng Li was cruel, the Peach Blossom She-Devil begged to differ. As far as she was concerned, Qingfeng Li was doing God’s work by killing a man as evil as San Yin.

At the sight of an almost drooling Peach Blossom She-Devil, Qingfeng Li felt a bit speechless. Every time this woman looked at him, it was as if she had seen some delicious food.

Qingfeng Li was now incredibly strong, and he wasn’t about to let her cling on to him. Using vital essence, he shook away the Peach Blossom She-devil.

Mengyao Xu was watching him. He didn’t want to speak to the Peach Blossom She-Devil any further.

Plus, Qingfeng Li was most worried about Xue Lin. Finding her was his priority and he wasn’t interested in any woman, no matter her beauty.

At the sight of Qingfeng Li rejecting her, the Peach Blossom She-Devil looked disappointed. She knew that the man in front of her had his own pursuits and that he wasn’t interested in her. This made her feel like a failure.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil was a rare beauty. Although she was ranked in the top 50s on the Devil Ranking, there were still plenty of self-cultivators courting her. Her suitors included Orthodox self-cultivators, demonic self-cultivators, and Devilish Dao self-cultivators. Some of her Orthodox suitors even turned into devils on the Devil Ranking to pursue her.

Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun walked towards them, both glaring at the Peach Blossom She-Devil. They were displeased with the lady who enjoyed taking advantage of Qingfeng Li. They were livid and were dissatisfied with her presence.

Now that Mengyao Xu had reached the first stage of the spirit monarch realm through her practice of the Fairy Sword Techniques, she wasn’t afraid of the Peach Blossom She-devil at all.

If the Peach Blossom She-Devil hadn’t saved Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu would’ve taught her a lesson a long time ago.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil became livid at Mengyao Xu’s disrespectful glare. She emitted an aura, wanting to suppress Mengyao Xu.

“You asked for it.” Mengyao Xu said coldly as she channeled her Fairy Bloodline, unleashing an aura of the Immortal Dao.

The aura of Immortal Dao immediately overpowered the Devilish Dao bloodline of the Peach Blossom She-Devil, sending her into a panic and forcing her to retreat.

The Peach Blossom She-devil looked towards Mengyao Xu with eyes of surprise. The woman was too powerful, to the point where she was startled.

Qingfeng Li naturally saw the silent battle between the two women. He could also see that Mengyao Xu had a clear upper-hand in the battle. It didn’t surprise him as Mengyao Xu had practiced immortal level techniques. It was a presence more powerful than that of the saint level.

If Mengyao Xu had reached the same realm as Qingfeng Li, he would be the only person who could overpower her. Other self-cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance. So the fact that the Peach Blossom She-Devil had lost to Mengyao Xu was understandable.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and waved his hands. He said, “You two, stop fighting. Hurry up and follow me forward. We need to find Xue Lin. It’s the most important task right now. We cannot afford to waste any time.”

Mengyao Xu nodded and retreated to the sidelines, stopping her animosity towards the Peach Blossom She-Devil. She knew how important Xue Lin was to Qingfeng Li and she didn’t want to anger him.

Before leaving, Qingfeng Li took San Yin’s interspatial ring and looked through it, finding in it many treasures.

The treasures didn’t entice Qingfeng Li. Instead, he took the elixirs and the spiritual treasures and handed them to Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Peach Blossom She-Devil, and the others, granting them the opportunity to elevate their powers.

Qingfeng Li also gave the Peach Blossom She-Devil a third stage monarch level elixir, making her so grateful that she almost kissed him.

The group of people traveled very quickly, the path was wide-open without any obstacles.

The surrounding self-cultivators had all just witnessed Qingfeng Li’s capabilities. At the sight of him, they all hid far away, too afraid to cross him, as if he was the devil himself.

As for the demonic beasts, they also sensed the deadly energy from Qingfeng Li, avoiding him as well.

Due to him killing too many demonic beasts and self-cultivators, a deadly black halo had formed around Qingfeng Li’s body. Any powerful monarch level self-cultivators could sense it.

At the sight of Qingfeng Li’s killing spirit, the Peach Blossom She-Devil sighed in her heart. Although she hadn’t met Xue Lin, it was clear that Qingfeng Li cared about her deeply. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have killed so many people, to the point where he was showing signs of entering Qi Deviation. The condition only appears when a person kills too many people.

The Heavenly Dao stresses balance. Whether on the Crimson Fire Continent or in the Mystic Sun Realm, balance was of the utmost importance. Like the five elements, the sun, and the moon. Where there was darkness, there was light, where there were days, there were nights, and where there were males, there were females.

If there was an unbalance between Yin and Yang, darkness and light, the entire world, the entire law of life, the entire order, and even the entire body of the self-cultivator would be disturbed.

Qingfeng Li had killed too much, and his killing spirit and devilish energy taking over his body. Unfortunately, he didn’t care at all. The continuation of this condition would fill his mind with ruthlessness, eventually leading him into the Devilish Dao.

Qingfeng Li knew what Mengyao Xu, the Peach Blossom She-Devil, and the rest were worrying about, but he wasn’t afraid.

As far as he was concerned, he would do anything to find Xue Lin and save Ruyan Liu and Apple Blossom, regardless of whether he would go down the Orthodox or Devilish Dao path. So what if he experienced Qi Deviation? So what if he needed to kill everyone on the planet?

Qingfeng Li and most of the others were now spirit monarch realm masters, granting them incredible speed. They reached 10,000 kilometers in no time.

Before the crowd stood a giant city, so massive that even with his spirit energy and vital essence, Qingfeng Li couldn’t see to its end.

The city was 3000 feet tall, with its length rippling into the distance, so far away it was impossible to calculate.

The massive city was three times the size of the Emerald Lake City and was made entirely of tier nine Meteor Stones.

Qingfeng Li had never seen this kind of Meteor Stones before. The most powerful Meteor Stones he had ever witnessed were of the tier eight kind.

Tier nine Meteor Stones are even more powerful, as it formed Heavenly Dao Seal Scripts of order and created massive defensive arrays all on its own. Even attacks from spirit monarch realm masters wouldn’t be able to break through its defense.

Mengyao Xu walked towards Qingfeng Li and said, “Big Brother Li, maybe we should go into the city and take a look. Xue Lin might be there.”

Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Let’s go in. We can also look for information on Xue Lin and the Wind Eagle Dynasty. Results of the reward order I’ve asked Ya Yun to release should be back as well.”

Chapter 1854: The Five-Poison City

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

At the sight of the majestic city, Qingfeng Li’s eyes emitted lights of disbelief. He had never been this surprised before.

The city’s Meteor Stone walls shined with Monarch’s Law scriptures, so powerful that it had reached the sixth stage of the spirit monarch level.

Even Qingfeng Li was only a third stage spirit monarch realm master. The Seal Scripts of order on the city walls exceeded his powers by three small realms.

Qingfeng Li could sense that, even with his powers, he couldn’t force his way through the city gate. The city gate’s talisman scripts of order could transform into a defensive array, meaning that it was impossible to fly through. He had to enter the city gate through its entrance at the bottom.

Qingfeng Li saw that the city walls were completely made of black Meteor Stones, the type of black that carried a sense of Devilish Energy and dark energy. Only Qingfeng Li could sense these energies, as he was very familiar with Devilish Energies. He had killed many devils in the past.

“The city is more dangerous than it looks,” Qingfeng Li thought to himself. If it weren’t for finding Xue Lin, he would’ve never entered the city.

Instead of flying into the city, Qingfeng Li and the others decided to enter the city by walking.

In front of them, was a long line of hundreds of self-cultivators, all lined up to enter the city. No one dared to cut the line or fly in.

Qingfeng Li channeled his Penetration Vision, his eyes emitting a golden light as he gazed toward the city gate. What he saw was a massive city gate thousands of feet tall. Written on it, were three daunting, majestic, characters saying ‘Five-Poison City”.

The sight startled Qingfeng Li as he didn’t expect for any city to be called such a name. Just the name itself was terrifying enough to startle anyone. There were definitely significant dangers hidden within the city.

What surprised Qingfeng Li the most, was the hundreds of thousands of self-cultivators lined up, squeezing their way through the city gate. Weren’t they afraid to die in the Five-Poison City?

Standing in front of Qingfeng Li was a set of twins. They were female self-cultivators. The one in the front had long hair, a tall figure, and a delicate face. The one behind her had short hair and looked very cute. She even had a couple of freckles on her cheeks.

Qingfeng Li reached out his palm and patted the short-haired girl’s shoulder, asking, “The Five-Poison City looks very dangerous. There are definitely poisonous matters inside. Why are you still going in?”

The short-haired self-cultivator jumped at Qingfeng Li’s sudden question, feeling as if she was under attack. As she turned to see a handsome young self-cultivator, her face ruddied from slight embarrassment.

The short-haired female self-cultivator said shyly, “Don’t you know about this place? I’ll explain. The Five-Poison City is the largest top tier city within 100 kilometers of here. It contains two top tier dynasties, so it is very safe here while everywhere else is dangerous. We came here to gather supplies so we could find monarch level treasures later.”

The long-haired self-cultivators turned around and tugged at the short-haired self-cultivator. She said, “Xiaomei, I told you not to speak to strangers. Why are you telling him so much? We need to enter the city quickly. The demonic wave is coming.”

Qingfeng Li nodded as he came to a sudden realization. No wonder so many self-cultivators wanted to enter the Five-Poison City. It was because a demonic monster wave was coming.

Qingfeng Li was ofcourse, very familiar with demonic monster waves. He had encountered the attacks of 100,000 demonic beasts back when he was in the Emerald Lake City. Although the wave was big, it

He had singlehandedly killed all of the 100,000 demonic beasts. This wave of beasts, however, seemed different from anything ordinary. Qingfeng Li could see that, even the spirit monarch realm masters at the front of the line looked terrified.

Although the long-haired female self-cultivator forbid her younger sister from speaking to Qingfeng Li, he still felt the need to talk to her a little more. He wanted to learn more about demonic monster waves and the city. Xiaomei seemed to know a lot about the place.

With a smile, Qingfeng Li reached out his hand and patted Xiaomei’s shoulder once again, asking her, “Miss Xiaomei, I wanted to ask. Is this demonic monster wave going to be massive? What are the levels of the evil beats? Why are even third stage spirit monarch realm masters entering the city in such a hurried manner?”

Xiaomei was clearly fond of Qingfeng Li, her face ruddying once again, as if she was intoxicated from wine.

Xiaomei disregarded her sister’s warning and continued to explain, “I heard that this time, there will be a sixth stage spirit monarch realm demonic beast that will lead more than a dozen spirit monarch realm demonic beasts. Plus, it will also lead a million generals and soldiers.

This time, they revolted in the Mystic Sun Realm, killing and eating any self-cultivator in sight. Many had already died. This is why we’re in such a hurry to enter the Five-Poison City. Its powerful defensive array could stop them.”

Her words startled Qingfeng Li. He couldn’t believe that there was such a violent revolt within the Mystic Sun Realm. A full million demonic beasts?

The million demonic beasts weren’t the problem. It was the Demon Emperor’s powers that posed a threat. It was a sixth stage spirit monarch realm master, three small realms higher than Qingfeng Li. Even Qingfeng Li would run for his life if he’d ever encountered such a beast.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li felt relieved that they had decided to enter the city. Otherwise, he and the others would definitely have ran into danger on the outside.

The long-haired self-cultivator turned around once again, giving Qingfeng Li a warning glare. She then took Xiaomei’s hand and walked forward, stopping her from speaking to Qingfeng Li any further.

Qingfeng Li was speechless. Logically speaking, a handsome, powerful young man like him should attract all the ladies.

But the long-haired female self-cultivator’s aversion to him clearly meant that she didn’t like him. This surprised him greatly.

Qingfeng Li listened closely to the conversation between the long-haired female self-cultivator and Xiaomei.

The long-haired female self-cultivator glanced around and whispered to her younger sister, “Xiaomei, listen to me. The young man over there is called Qingfeng Li. Don’t talk to him. He’s a big devil.”

Xiaomei furrowed her brows and said, “Older sister, how could you call that handsome man the devil? I think he’s really nice. He even smiled at me.”

The long-haired beauty glared at Xiaomei and said, “Let me tell you. Not long ago in the forest, I saw Qingfeng Li kill San Yin, the emperor of the Water Yin Dynasty. He killed all of the emperor’s followers as well. And, he did it all with a single punch! He even swallowed the emperor’s soul. How is he not the devil?”

At the sound of her voice, Qingfeng Li was speechless. He had finally found the reason to why she disliked him.

Chapter 1855: The Tenth Devil

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

Qingfeng Li glanced at the long-haired beauty and her younger sister, Xiaomei. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ended up shutting it instead.

Qingfeng Li didn’t actually know these twin sisters. Although he wasn’t familiar with them, he felt that the short-haired younger sister was the kinder and more enthusiastic of the two. Her appearance was also quite cute. That was why he chatted with her for a little while.

Her long-haired sister, on the other hand, was very suspicious of Qingfeng Li. He seemed to have made a terrible first impression with her and she thought that he was some sort of devilish character.

It that was the case, Qingfeng Li didn’t want to suck up to her either. There was no need for him to talk to the long-haired female self-cultivator.

The line in front of Qingfeng Li was long, but it moved quickly. Due to the imminent arrival of the demonic monster wave made up of a million demons, all the self-cultivators had handed over monarch level elixirs, vitality stones, techniques, or other kinds of treasures without a fuss. Then, they were allowed to enter the Five-Poison City.

Of course, the most important reason for this was that the Five-Poison City belonged to a high-tier dynasty. Likewise, the guards were also from a high-tier dynasty. This was why no one dared to cause trouble.

When it was Qingfeng Li’s turn, the captain of the guards at the city gates spoke to him in a cold voice, “You’ve got fifteen people in total, so you need to pay fifteen monarch level elixirs or fifteen monarch level vitality stones.”

It had to be said that this guard captain was rather greedy; he had even included Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake in his count. Normally speaking, being demonic beasts, they would be considered pets and would not be counted.

Qingfeng Li frowned. Although he was somewhat displeased, he didn’t argue with the guard captain. He knew that the important thing was to enter the city and find Xue Lin. There was no need to start a fight over two monarch level vitality stones.

Besides, Qingfeng Li had just looted a massive amount of monarch level spiritual treasures and elixirs after killing San Yin.

Qingfeng Li took fifteen monarch level vitality stones and tossed them to the captain of the guards.

The captain nodded, pleased, and said, “Head on in.”

With a nod, Qingfeng Li led Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others into the city.

Behind them, the captain of the guards stared at the retreating figure of the Chief Commander, who was walking beside Qingfeng Li. There was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

He thought that the Chief Commander looked rather familiar, like he had seen him before somewhere. But there were other self-cultivators waiting in line to enter the city.

The captain of the guards shook his head, pushing the thoughts away. It hadn’t even occurred to him that the man walking beside Qingfeng Li might have been the Chief Commander of the Meteorite Dynasty. He knew he had seen the man before, but it was too long ago, and his memories had faded.

When Qingfeng Li and the group entered the Five-Poison City, they let out a collective cry of surprise. This city was massive, at least three times the size of Emerald Lake City.

The streets in the Five-Poison City were also extremely wide. At several hundred feet across, there was enough room for a few dozen horse-drawn carriages to stand side-by-side. To either side of the street stood rows of towering trees. These were ancient trees, each towering several thousand feet tall. Beside them, humans seemed miniscule by comparison.

Each of these ancient trees were more than a hundred feet thick. It would take a dozen or more steps to even walk past one of them.

The ground was paved neatly from Ninth Class meteor stone. Monarch talisman scriptures glittered on their surface, which were Heavenly Dao Seal Scripts of Order. Any attacks from self-cultivators would be reflected back by the material.

Fighting was forbidden inside the Five-Poison City. Normally self-cultivators here must pledge themselves to one of the high-tier dynasties that ruled over the entire city. The two powers had split the city into two halves, The East and the West.

Mengyao Xu walked up to Qingfeng Li’s side. “As expected of a city governed by high-tier dynasties,” she said. “It’s massive, and all the amenities are simply splendid.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. Looking to either side, he found that all the buildings were dazzling skyscrapers.

There were elixir stores, spiritual treasure stores, talisman stores, and weapon stores, among many others. Each store was packed with self-cultivators, all buying materials they needed.

Crowds of people moved up and down the street, including all different kinds of self-cultivators. In this massive city, Qingfeng Li saw not only orthodox self-cultivators, but also devilish self-cultivators.

In front of them walked a spindly man in red robes. Devilish energy poured out from him, obscuring the sky over his head with a cloud of red killing intent. It was clear at a glance that this was a devilish self-cultivator.

But this man must have been infamous, because all around him, self-cultivators gave him a wide berth, not daring to mess with him. Even orthodox self-cultivators went out of their way to avoid him.

It had to be said that in the world of self-cultivators, orthodox self-cultivators had to protect their own Dao by eliminating devils. If they see a devil, they would kill them without question. If even they didn’t dare attack this devilish self-cultivator, he must be extremely powerful.

Walking behind Qingfeng Li, the Peach Blossom She-Devil saw the red-robed man. Her face drained of color, as if she had just seen something that terrified her.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow. “Pretty Big Sister,” he said, “is that red-robed man that strong? Why is your face so pale?”

“Qingfeng Li,” the Peach Blossom She-Devil replied, “I’m telling you now. That man is extremely powerful. He ranks tenth on the Devil Rankings. His strength has reached the Fourth Class of the spirit monarch realm.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. So this was the Tenth Devil on the Devil Rankings, no wonder the Peach Blossom She-Devil was scared.

After all, she herself only ranked at the fiftieth place. It was a far cry from the higher rankings.

Having killed the White Hair Devil, among some other self-cultivators, Qingfeng Li’s own ranking on the Devil Rankings had been raised to the twentieth place.

Of course, that was a conservative estimate. Technically speaking, Qingfeng Li definitely could make it into the top ten. But he hadn’t met any of the top ten devils yet, and so he hadn’t defeated them.

The red-robed man’s hearing was exceptionally good. His ears twitched as he heard the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s voice. He smiled, a flash of red light dashing across his eyes as he walked toward them.

Smiling, the red-robed man spoke, “Peach Blossom She-Devil, it’s been a while. You’re still so beautiful. You know who I am, right?”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil furrowed her pretty brows, her delicate features still pale. “Of course, I know you,” she said. “Your name is Qingyang Xue, you’re ranked tenth on the Devil Rankings.”

Seeing the fear in the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s eyes, the red-robed man bellowed in laughter. He was quite pleased. He rather liked this beautiful woman. It would be best if she could become his Dao-mate.

Qingyang Xue stared at the Peach Blossom She-Devil. “This man beside you is too weak,” he said. “You won’t get anywhere following him. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll give you the best of everything.”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil’s face fell. She hadn’t expected Qingyang Xue to be so arrogant as to want to take her away. It was obvious that he was after her beauty.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, she turned her gaze to Qingfeng Li. She knew that only he could help her.

Qingfeng Li smiled. Reaching out with his hand, he pinched the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s cheeks. “Don’t worry,” he said, “I won’t let him take you away. I can tell just by looking that he isn’t a good guy. And besides, he’s one of the Ten Great Devils.”

At first, the Peach Blossom She-Devil was very touched by Qingfeng Li’s words, her eyes filling with tears. But his last sentence left her speechless. He was saying that Qingyang Xue wasn’t a good guy, that he was a bad egg. Did Qingfeng Li stop to consider that he himself was a devil as well? By that logic, wasn’t he also a bad guy?

Of course, the Peach Blossom She-Devil would never say this out loud. Even among devils, there were the good and the bad. Qingfeng Li was obviously one of the good ones. At least, this was what she thought of him.

If the other devil heard the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s thoughts, they would no doubt laugh their asses off. This must be what they meant by “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Qingfeng Li looked over at Qingyang Xue. Smiling, he said, “If you want to take the Peach Blossom She-Devil, then go ahead. As long as you can withstand one punch from me, I’ll let you take her.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, Qingyang Xue tilted his head back and laughed as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

“What the crap are you talking about?” Qingyang Xue said, his voice filled with disdain. “Do you know who I am? I’m Qingyang Xue, I’m number ten on the Devil Rankings! You say you can defeat me with one punch? Did you get kicked in the head or something?”

Qingyang Xue’s voice was loud, ringing all across a one-kilometer radius. Many of the self-cultivators in the Five-Poison City had heard his voice and gathered toward the scene.

All of the self-cultivators in the Five-Poison City were very powerful. Most of them were of the spirit monarch realm. These people weren’t afraid of trouble, rather, they liked watching exciting events like this. It was human nature.

In just a short while, more than a hundred self-cultivators had gathered around them. These were people from different countries and different sects. Some of them were orthodox, some devilish, others demonic or unorthodox. Their outfits were likewise in all kinds of different styles. Right now, they all watched Qingfeng Li and Qingyang Xue with the same curious expression.

These self-cultivators didn’t know Qingfeng Li, but they knew Qingyang Xue very well.

Qingyang Xue placed tenth on the Devil Rankings. He was known all across the entire world of self-cultivators. Many powerful masters had died by his hand. Once, there had been a city that was wiped out by him, without a single survivor. He was infamous everywhere under the sky.

Among the self-cultivators that had gathered, there was a figure in black. This was a female self-cultivator, her silhouette was exquisitely curvaceous, making the hearts of those around her race.

She wore a veil over her face, obscuring her features. But judging from her vivacious figure, she had to be extremely beautiful.

Beside the veiled woman stood a female servant. The servant was tall and pretty, but not beautiful. She wore tight-fitting clothes with a black sword hanging from her waist. She herself stood like a sword, her energy piercing the heavens.

“Princess,” the black-clad servant spoke in a low, respectful tone, “there are too many people here. We had best leave, in case something dangerous happens.”

The veiled vivacious woman smiled and, waving, said nothing. But her actions made it clear to the black-clad servant that she wasn’t leaving.

No one would have guessed that the conflict between Qingfeng Li and Qingyang Xue would draw the Princess of a high-tier dynasty here to spectate. If anyone knew, they would no doubt be shocked, even going as far as running over in an attempt to curry favor with her.

After all, the Princess of a high-tier dynasty held more power than even Qingyang Xue.

Qingfeng Li paid the chattering of the crowd no mind. There was only one person in his sights, and that was Qingyang Xue. As far as he was concerned, defeating the other wasn’t too difficult of a task.

Qingyang Xue walked forward. With each step, the energy radiating from him grew a bit stronger. The meteor stone pavement, however, was unscratched.

This was because the pavement contained monarch level defensive arrays. On top of that, the material was Ninth Class meteor stone. Even with Qingyang Xue’s power, he couldn’t leave a mark on the ground.

Qingyang Xue stared at Qingfeng Li. “You have one last chance,” he said. “Kneel now and beg for my forgiveness. And give the Peach Blossom She-Devil to me. Otherwise, I will definitely send you flying a thousand feet with one punch. It might even kill you.”

Qingfeng Li glanced back at him. “You nag too much,” he said nonchalantly. “Hurry up and attack. Don’t bitch around like a woman.

A hint of cold light flashed across Qingyang Xue’s eyes. This was the first time anyone had dared to ridicule him like this. Qingfeng Li had called him a woman. This reckless bastard, he would have him know that he was a devilish self-cultivator. He practiced devilish techniques that were extremely powerful.

He had killed orthodox self-cultivators before by blowing their bodies apart with one punch. There wasn’t even a body left when he was done. Just now, he had wanted to give Qingfeng Li a chance and wanted to humiliate him. He hadn’t expected the other to humiliate him instead.

Qingyang Xue roared in fury, “You asked for this!”

“Blood Demon Fist!” Qingyang Xue cried. Activating his demonic technique, he swung out his right fist, forming a forty-thousand-foot bloody fist formed from demonic energy.

Devilish energy roiled on the surface of the fist, not black, but red devilish energy. It was formed from the blood of all the people he had slaughtered in the past.

Killing intent radiated from him. Around them, self-cultivators felt the powerful murderous energy and they all backed away.

They couldn’t withstand this kind of energy. It made both their bodies and souls tremble. Tearing the sky and earth and void all apart, it stained the world blood red.

In the distance, the Princess of the high-tier dynasty stood among the crowd. She furrowed her brows, evidently not used to this kind of devilish technique. It had a soul-sucking quality to it.

Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, stood in the same spot, his expression calm. He paid it no mind, not until the other’s fist was about to hit him.

It was only then that Qingfeng Li activated his Mortal Purgatory Body and his Gold Dao Seed, along with the Dragon Bone. He gathered these three immense forces onto his right fist.

With a lightning-fast motion, Qingfeng Li swung out his fist. It was enveloped in three different kinds of light, There was golden light, the darkness of hell talisman scriptures, and the dragon-light from the Dragon Bone. Each of them alone was enough to shatter the world, but now all three struck out together with a force that could tear apart all of existence.

Boom, boom, boom….

The moment Qingfeng Li’s fist collided with that of Qingyang Xue, the Blood Demon Fist was blown apart. The forty-thousand-foot bloody fist was reduced to fragments that faded away into the air.

Meeting no resistance, Qingfeng Li’s fist collided heavily with Qingyang Xue’s body, sending him flying back for a thousand feet. He flew into a millennium-old tree, snapping the hundred-foot trunk straight in half.
