Chapter 185

Grand General Summon Thunder brought his subordinates along as they flew for the entire journey .

“Grand General, up ahead is Mt . Blue Granny . ” The three avian demons led the way . However, they felt somewhat apprehensive . After all, General Crab had just been easily killed by this same cultivator .

“Alright, the three of you are dismissed,” commanded Grand General Summon Thunder with a frown .

“Yes, yes, yes . “

The three avian demons quickly departed .

“Look at how frightened the three of them are . ” The two demon generals laughed as well . One of them carried a saber by his waist and had fur on his face . He warned, “Grand General, if that cultivator could easily kill Brother Crab, he might very well be a Connate True Core cultivator . We must not let our guard down . “

“What’s there to be afraid of? Grand General cultivations in the ‘Wind and Thunder Mystic Arts . ‘ Most Connate True Cores will not even be his match . ” flattered another shrimp-headed demon general .

In response, Grand General Summon Thunder said, “There shouldn’t be any powerful cultivators in Qian Prefecture that dare to oppose our Yellow Wyrm Lake . However, that cultivator did kill General Crab . He probably has a powerful backer . General Hunt, tell me what the cultivator looks like . Is he anyone famous?”

“Alright . ” The demon general with the saber nodded .

He immediately looked into the direction of Mt . Blue Granny . His eyes flashed as they suffused a dark yellow light .

“I see him . He’s sitting cross-legged in a wooden hut . He’s dressed in black and looks very young . ” General Hunt frowned and said puzzled, “There are only so many Connate True Core realm cultivators in Qian Prefecture . And only five are that young . He doesn’t resemble any of them . As for him being a Connate Golden Core cultivator? That’s even more impossible . All the Connate Golden Core cultivators in Qian Prefecture are famous . I know all of them . “

“You do not know him?” Grand General Summon Thunder was perplexed .

Qin Yun had grown in fame too quickly .

Since he was trapped in the immortal abode for a long period of time, only cultivators from the Jiang Prefecture’s cultivation world had actually seen him . As for the Qian Prefecture? Only top factions had obtained an accurate projection of Qin Yun . Typical fiendish demons would not have obtained one . Even obtaining a portrait would’ve been quite an impressive feat . Grand General Summon Thunder and company were entrenched in Qian Prefecture so there was no need for them to seek out a portrait of a newly promoted and powerful cultivator from the Jiang Prefecture .

“He’s either a Qian Prefecture cultivator that has recently made a breakthrough or he is from another prefecture,” said General Hunt .

…

As Grand General Summon Thunder and company were hiding five kilometers away and guessing at Qin Yun’s identity, Qin Yun had already noticed the trio .

With his Intrinsic Flying Sword, he could easily release his psyche fifteen kilometers out .

“Grand General Summon Thunder? Is that him?” Qin Yun sat cross-legged in a wooden hut when he suddenly knitted his brows . “Another powerful aura! It’s fast . My guess is that it’s a Connate Golden Core fiendish demon . “

A terrifying aura was rushing over maniacally .

It entered a fifteen-kilometer radius and continued to rapidly approach .

“Ever since I left Grand Dominance, I had a feeling that I was being watched . Even when I arrived in Qian Prefecture’s Jia’an County, I was still being watched… Have you finally arrived?” Qin Yun turned serious . As for Grand General Summon Thunder and his generals, Qin Yun did not mind them for they were trivial . Since they had entered a fifteen-kilometer radius, he could destroy them as he pleased .

“Boom!”

A faint boom suddenly sounded out . It came from the distant horizon and was a deep sound that left one’s heart trembling .

“What sound is that?” Grand General Summon Thunder and his two demon generals were astonished . For some baffling reason, they shuddered .

“Grand General, look . ” General Hunter pointed towards the distant horizon .

A huge black gust of wind had appeared on the horizon .

The black wind howled, and it was as though a dark cloud had descended upon the mountain . The surrounding temperature began to drop .

“Qin Yun!” An angry bellow boomed .

The entire sky darkened .

Although part of the sun had peeked out from the east, the surroundings of Mt . Blue Granny darkened completely . The entire mountain was enveloped by invisible energy as black clouds stirred and black winds howled .

“Hand over your treasures and you can still live!” The darkened sky rumbled with a thundering voice .

“Do you have what it takes?”

Qin Yun stood up and walked out the wooden hut as he sneered at the sky .

The young demoness turned pale from fright . As there was an endless amount of suppression permeating the world around them, she was horrified .

“Don’t be afraid . ” Qin Yun looked at the young demoness .

“Okay . ” She nodded immediately .

“How thickheaded you are! Then die!” A massive hooved claw suddenly descended from the dark sky . It was dark gray in color and looked heavy . It was as though it came crashing down with all the might of the world .

Qin Yun stood there and waved his hand .

A sword beam shot out like a roaring bolt of lightning or a tidal wave that surged towards the attacking claw .

“Roar—”

The sword beam surged forward and clashed with the massive claw . The gigantic claw trembled before retracting rapidly . A massive beast that resembled a hound descended from a high altitude . It had four hooves and its eyes had three concentric pupils . Its ears were standing up and it had a unique pair of yellow brows .

“You are quite skilled after all . ” The eyes of the monstrous beast in the sky flashed .

“Whew! Whew!”

Two golden beams of light shot out from his pupils as they streaked across the sky like lightning . They almost instantly reached Mt . Blue Granny .

“Phew . ” The Cyclic Sword Flash instantly appeared, producing a barrier that blocked the two golden beams . Space began to distort with grinding noises but the two golden beams failed to penetrate Qin Yun’s Cyclic Sword Flash barrier .

“As expected of an ancient mutated Kṣitigarbha Hound . Despite being at an ordinary realm, your moves possess so much might,” said Qin Yun . “However, Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect, you can’t do a thing to me with this tiny bit of skill . “

“What?”

“Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect? Kṣitigarbha Hound?”

Five kilometers away, Grand General Summon Thunder and his two generals were dumbfounded .

The hooved claw that descended from the dark sky had dumbfounded them . But now, Qin Yun had withstood the terrifying attack and said the name of his opponent . It left the three demons shuddering .

“Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect is in no way inferior to our Flood Dragon King!” Grand General Summon Thunder was alarmed .

“He’s Qin Yun? The only famous cultivator in the world with the name Qin Yun is that one from Jiang Prefecture’s Grand Dominance . But isn’t he only an Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador? Why is he able to defend against Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect so easily?” General Hunt was alarmed as well .

“We were almost about to fight him?” General Shrimp felt his heart palpitate . “That flying sword’s might was in no way inferior to Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect’s claw swipe . If his flying sword came at us, we would have been finished . “

“Don’t move . None of us move . They might not have discovered us yet . ” Grand General Summon Thunder was feeling extremely anxious .

“Let’s hope they haven’t discovered us . ” General Hunt was full of unease . General Shrimp did not even dare utter a word .

Existences at that level were famous throughout the world . They were only hegemons of a small area, so why would they dare make a sound?

“Junior, don’t be overly arrogant . ” Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect bellowed while standing in midair . Typical fiendish demons would maintain a humanoid form so they could use the most of their combat strength . However, there were some ancient mutants or demons with special characteristics, such as dragons, who could draw out their strongest powers in their true forms . The ancient mutated Kṣitigarbha Hound was one such demon .

Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect’s massive body floated in midair as he suddenly opened his mouth .

“Hu! Hu! Hu!”

Black cold wind with rich bloodlust aura hurtled forward like countless blades . Even the towering trees in the vicinity were diced up into pieces .

Qin Yun gently shook his head and, with a single thought, commanded his Intrinsic Flying Sword to produce the Heavenly Cycle . It transformed into a sword flash barrier that covered more than half of Mt . Blue Granny’s peak! “Boom!” The black winds that seemed to be capable of cutting through iron like mud were powerless against the sword flash barrier . However, many of the surrounding boulders and trees were ground to dust, scattering across the world .

When the black winds came to a halt, a tiny portion of Mt . Blue Granny was gone, ground into nothingness .

“What, how is he this strong?” High in the sky, Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect was alarmed . “The Kṣitigarbha Wind Bloodlust I have been cultivating for a thousand years actually does nothing against his flying sword . “

How could he know?

Qin Yun had yet to use the power of his Paramount realm . He was afraid, afraid that he would scare off Temple Lord Ruyi . Back when Qin Yun was trapped in the immortal abode, Temple Lord Ruyi had attempted to kidnap the members of the Qin family . Qin Yun naturally wanted him dead . He was waiting for Temple Lord Ruyi to come out before using his most powerful sword art on him .

Although Temple Lord Ruyi was great at life-preservation methods, he was extremely arrogant . He had once escaped from the Paramount realm existence, Reverend Barefeet .

However, Qin Yun was a Connate Paramount realm sword immortal! In terms of pursuit, his flying sword was much more powerful than Reverend Barefeet’s . He did not believe that Temple Lord Ruyi would be able to escape from his sword .

“This is the Kṣitigarbha Wind Bloodlust? Qin Yun asked as he looked at the flying Patriarch Tenebrous Aspect . His voice resounded through the heaven and earth . “It’s pretty powerful but it’s useless against me . Also, you three, it’s time to show yourselves after watching for so long . “

“It’s time to show yourselves after watching for so long?”

Five kilometers away, Grand General Summon Thunder, General Hunt, and General Shrimp went pale from shock . Their legs turned limp .

“Grand General, he wants us to show ourselves . ” General Shrimp’s voice was already trembling .

“Show ourselves?” Grand General Summon Thunder gulped . “Since he has asked us to show ourselves, it’s best we do not resist . We—”

“Hahaha… Fellow Daoist Qin, how impressive . “

“To think you can see through our concealment arts . “

“Impressive . “

The words were accompanied with boisterous laughter from three parties .

Three terrifying auras surged as three great fiendish demons appeared out of thin air .
