Chapter 38: I Come from Nan Yin Island

Arrogant! Unbridled!
Qing Wu Gui’s words directly offended the dignity of the cultivators from Qian Xuan City. All of them were at the Divine General stage, but being treated with such contempt, humiliation, and provocation by Qing Wu Gui, even their greatest tolerance could no longer hold back their anger. Their fighting spirit ignited instantly.
“Assassination demon, you’re seeking your own death.”
“You overestimate yourself. As long as you stop running, today will be the day you die.”
“I’ve seen arrogant people before, but never someone as arrogant as you. You’ll pay for your actions.”
In an instant, the 900,000 cultivators of Qian Xuan City, filled with rage, loudly rebuked Qing Wu Gui, staring at him furiously.
Jin Fang Lai, the leader of the Qian Xuan City cultivators, saw that his followers’ emotions had been stirred and felt pleased. Finally, they could unite to fight this great enemy together.
“Assassination demon, if you want to fight, then come here!” Jin Fang Lai shouted loudly, his fighting spirit aimed at Qing Wu Gui.
Qing Wu Gui smiled faintly, suddenly disappearing before reappearing in front of Jin Fang Lai. He drew a long black sword and thrust it at Jin Fang Lai’s throat.
“Unbridled!”
Jin Fang Lai had already seen Qing Wu Gui’s speed before, so he was prepared this time. A defensive battle suit at the Divine Marshal level, glowing with golden light, appeared around him. He swayed his body and used his chest to block Qing Wu Gui’s deadly strike.
With his own strength, Jin Fang Lai naturally couldn’t match Qing Wu Gui and could only rely on the defensive suit to fend off his attacks.
The Divine General stage cultivators of Qian Xuan City, seeing Qing Wu Gui attacking Jin Fang Lai, didn’t dare hesitate anymore. They immediately drew their divine weapons and unleashed a barrage of spells at him.
Qing Wu Gui merely smiled faintly, then suddenly moved, leaving his position and heading in another direction.
“The assassination demon has arrived here!”
The cultivators of Qian Xuan City, who had been filled with rage, felt a sudden chill in their hearts upon seeing Qing Wu Gui reappear. They screamed in terror.
As soon as Qing Wu Gui reappeared, his attack arrived instantly. With a swing of his sword, the primordial energies of metal, wood, and water in the surrounding space gathered to form a spirit body of metal, wood, and water, creating long swords and great knives. A storm of sword light and shadows of coldness ensued.
Tens of thousands of cultivators from Qian Xuan City were instantly cut to pieces, their souls damaged. Even if they survived, they would be left powerless.

This attack also deterred the other cultivators in Qianxuan City. Their anger earlier was due to the shared emotions of everyone, which instantly boosted their fighting spirit. However, the movement skills displayed by Qingwugui and the fierce attacks he launched so casually immediately calmed everyone down.

“What fast movement skills!”
“What powerful spells!”
“Invincible… this is truly invincibility!”
The cultivators of Qianxuan City, upon seeing Qingwugui’s performance, naturally felt fear and stepped back slightly, afraid that his next attack would hit them.

“Everyone, attack! Attack!”
Seeing his own side in such a state, Jin Fanglai grew anxious and shouted loudly.
This cry awakened the cultivators of Qianxuan City, making them realize that if they didn’t attack Qingwugui now, they would be killed by his attacks. Only by attacking could they stop his indiscriminate slaughter.

“Kill! Kill him!”
“Kill this assassin demon!”
The cultivators of Qianxuan City shouted in unison. Immediately afterward, a sea of spells appeared—spiritual swords, spiritual waves, spiritual storms—all of which enveloped Qingwugui’s location with a howling sound.

“Perfect timing!” Qingwugui said calmly, his eyes gleaming.
Although he could affect the power of these spells, under the combined attack of so many spells, he wouldn’t directly confront them. Instead, he immediately used his agile movement skills to dodge through the gaps between the spells.

With Qingwugui’s killing prowess, he could influence any spell—turning spells at the Divine General level into those at the Divine Weapon or Divine Being level, or even rendering them ineffective. Thus, in this sea of spells, wherever he dodged, the spells there would be weakened by him, allowing him to easily evade them.

The cultivators of Qianxuan City, witnessing Qingwugui’s extraordinary movement skills and seeing that their spells couldn’t harm him, were all stunned, unable to believe what was happening.

“Is this assassin demon really too strong?”
Fear arose once again in the hearts of all the cultivators. Their terror toward Qingwugui stemmed from deep within their hearts.

Having dodged the sea of spells, Qingwugui suddenly appeared near a group of cultivators. Then, under their horrified gazes, he swung his sword. The primordial energies of metal, wood, and water in the surrounding space gathered again to form spiritual bodies of metal, wood, and water, creating a spiritual storm that launched a wide-scale attack.

“Defend! Defend together!”

The monks there immediately panicked and shouted, waving their divine weapons as they launched a combined spell attack at the spirit entity flying in the air, easily defending against it. This successful defense made the monks of Qianxuan City realize that Qingwugui merely relied on bizarre movement techniques; its true offensive power wasn’t very strong, and with collective effort, they could still defend against its attacks. “Let’s work together to kill this assassin demon!” “The assassin demon’s attack power is weak—we can defeat it if we all pitch in.” The monks of Qianxuan City became energized, their voices rising in fervor, and their fighting spirit surged once again as they charged at Qingwugui. Qingwugui simply smiled faintly, then darted away to another area, joining a group of monks. This time, with just a single sword strike, his long sword lightly touched one of the monks, who immediately fell. Murderous intent! Such intense murderous intent! The monks of Qianxuan City sensed Qingwugui’s attack, and their newly kindled fighting spirit was once again shattered by him. They could clearly feel the tangible murderous intent emanating from his sword, shaking everyone’s souls. “A demon… truly a demon. Who can subdue it?” The monks of Qianxuan City felt chilled inside, their faces filled with panic, clearly fearing that Qingwugui’s next target would be them. “What are we waiting for? Attack him!” Jin Fanglai, filled with rage, screamed. If Qingwugui continued killing, Qianxuan City would truly be destroyed by him. As the leader of the group of divine general-level monks in Qianxuan City and an outstanding disciple of the Jin clan, Jin Fanglai couldn’t bear to be destroyed like this—how could he not be anxious? The monks of Qianxuan City tried hard to calm their fears once more, drew out their divine weapons, and launched another wave of collective spells, enveloping Qingwugui’s body. Undoubtedly, Qingwugui skillfully used his killing techniques again, dodging the spell barrage between each attack and escaping unscathed, before reappearing among a group of monks from Qianxuan City. “The assassin demon is here!” The monks cried out in alarm. Before they could react, Qingwugui swung his sword, creating golden, wooden, water, and spiritual entities that formed countless sword-like spirits, descending from the sky and piercing into the bodies of many monks. He swung his sword and left.

With a carefree demeanor, Qing Wu Gui once again moved among the cultivators of Qianxuan City, their fearful gazes fixed on him, as he swung his long sword once more. Spiritual bodies emerged, and flesh and blood scattered. The more the cultivators of Qianxuan City tried to defend themselves, the more severely they were hurt. Qing Wu Gui’s movement style was impossible to defend against, and each strike carried a murderous intent that shook souls; he killed effortlessly and then left gracefully. Jin Fanglai watched as Qing Wu Gui moved freely among their group, as if playing with all the cultivators of Qianxuan City. The anger in his heart was as intense as that accumulated over ten thousand years. “Defend! Defend together!” Jin Fanglai realized that if they continued to let each cultivator defend themselves, they would surely be killed off one by one by Qing Wu Gui. Only by uniting everyone’s strength to defend could they force him to back down. The remaining about eighty-five cultivators of Qianxuan City formed a circular area, huddled together, and united their spiritual energies. Whenever Qing Wu Gui approached, they immediately created a spiritual shield to block his attacks. Qing Wu Gui flew to one spot and swung his sword, only to find that the spiritual energies of the cultivators there formed a five-colored spiritual shield that blocked his sword. Even using his killing techniques, he couldn’t weaken this shield much. After trying several times, Qing Wu Gui realized that he could no longer kill the cultivators of Qianxuan City in this way. He landed on the ground and calmly looked at all the cultivators of Qianxuan City. “Your defense is quite impressive,” Qing Wu Gui said honestly. Hearing his words, Jin Fanglai was overjoyed, knowing that his defense strategy had finally worked. Although it was somewhat humiliating for the cultivators of Qianxuan City, it was still better than losing their lives. “Assassination demon, which group do you belong to?” Now that he was calm, Jin Fanglai finally asked the question that had been on his mind all along. No one believed that a cultivator at the Divine General stage would form his own group alone. Qing Wu Gui smiled faintly. “I come from Nanyin Island. Now, I have some bad news for you—you are already surrounded by Nanyin Island.” “Nanyin Island? Qu Yi?” Jin Fanglai cried out immediately upon hearing that name.

Regarding the situation on Nan Yin Island, all eight divine realms were aware of it. Upon hearing Qing Wu Gui’s words, Jin Fang Lai’s heart tightened. On Nan Yin Island, there were already three famous figures in the divine realm: Qu Yi, Xin Wu Hen, and Tian Bu Ao. Now, there was also this chilling expert, Qing Wu Gui. Wasn’t the strength of Nan Yin Island the greatest among all the cultivators at the Divine General stage? At that moment, the cultivators of Qian Xuan City had already sensed it through their divine senses—nearly a million cultivators were flying towards them. “Ah, the assassin demon was right! The people from Nan Yin Island are really coming!” All the cultivators of Qian Xuan City panicked and cried out in fear.
