Chapter 376: Chapter 257: Past, Present, Future—My Way (2)

At this moment, he had no way out. In terms of strength, without mastering the ’Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill’, he was even less likely to be a match for Qin Yuesheng.

"Heh... heh... hahaha." Slowly retreating to the edge of the cliff, Jiang Taicang suddenly burst into a self-deprecating laughter: "You’re ruthless, hiding so deeply. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes today, I might have always mistaken you, the Qin family young master, for a useless fool."

Qin Yuesheng tossed Shangguan Lan aside, drew the Celestial Demon Blade, and walked toward Jiang Taicang.

With his speed, even if Jiang Taicang wanted to leap off the cliff to end his life, he could pull him back halfway. So, Qin Yuesheng wasn’t worried that this guy would cause any more trouble.

"Why do you have that item? Tell me its origin, and I can give you a painless death."

Jiang Taicang took out a small booklet from behind his waist and threw it straight into the abyss below.

At that moment, the abyss was shrouded in mist, and the booklet quickly vanished into the clouds, its whereabouts completely unknown.

Qin Yuesheng had initially thought this guy was going to make a desperate move, throwing a hidden weapon at him, but to his surprise, that item wasn’t directed at him and disappeared into the abyss in the blink of an eye.

"What mischief are you up to again?" Qin Yuesheng extended his hand, and Jiang Taicang’s entire body involuntarily flew toward him, grabbed tightly by Qin Yuesheng.

"The Time Holy Wheel, there really is a second one." Looking at the black and white disc in Qin Yuesheng’s hand, Jiang Taicang sighed helplessly: "I thought obtaining one Time Holy Wheel was already great fortune, but to think you could assemble it completely. Such luck... Well, well, I’ll tell you then,

Remember this, this item is a Holy Artifact. Wherever it is, even immortals and the Ghost Race covet it. If one day you reach that realm, you can refine it into your own Holy Seal. By then, the river of time will be yours to command, knowing the past, present, and future is but a thought away. Originally, this was my goal.

Qin Yuesheng frowned: "Who on earth are you?"

Jiang Taicang smiled: "Just a slightly lucky, knowledgeable kid born in Cyan Yang City."

"You, from Cyan Yang City?"

Jiang Taicang suddenly lifted his foot and slashed across the Celestial Demon Blade, instantly slicing through his boot and slicing off half of his foot.

"I never said I was going to surrender." Jiang Taicang looked at Qin Yuesheng and said: "Since I can’t defeat you with my strength, I’ll rely on the Celestial Demon power instead."

Qin Yuesheng’s eyes widened. Being injured by the Celestial Demon Blade meant an irreversible transformation into a Celestial Demon. That guy was so decisive?

"Young master of the Qin family, back when the Great Ghost Venerable emerged and annihilated all of Cyan Yang City overnight, how did you survive?" Jiang Taicang suddenly asked.

Qin Yuesheng was astonished. Did such a thing happen?

However, before he could answer, Jiang Taicang’s body had already begun the Celestial Demon transformation.

"Roar!" Unlike others turning into a Celestial Demon, there remained a trace of clarity in Jiang Taicang’s eyes. His body expanded, ripping through his clothes, and transforming into a Celestial Demon form as he struck at Qin Yuesheng with a palm.

Bam!

Qin Yuesheng blocked it horizontally with the hilt of the Celestial Demon Blade, forcibly withstanding Jiang Taicang’s palm. However, Jiang Taicang reversed his hand to snatch the blade, attempting to take control. Qin Yuesheng directly extended two fingers from his other hand, channeling inner strength into a cone, aiming to stab Jiang Taicang’s right eye.

Swish!

Jiang Taicang opened his wide mouth, intending to bite off Qin Yuesheng’s fingers directly. However, Qin Yuesheng increased the infusion of inner strength, neither dodging nor avoiding, continuing to press toward the other.

When Qin Yuesheng’s fingers collided with Jiang Taicang’s teeth, even though it was a Celestial Demon body, the sharp teeth instantly shattered, and Qin Yuesheng pierced through his brain.

For an ordinary person, such an injury would have been fatal, but the Celestial Demon body was unusually extraordinary, and it still had the strength to fight. Ignoring the profuse blood flowing from his mouth, he grabbed Qin Yuesheng’s shoulders with both hands, attempting to tear him apart.

But Qin Yuesheng’s physique was not that of an ordinary person. His shoulder muscles tensed tightly, and even when Jiang Taicang exerted immense strength, he couldn’t budge him in the slightest, causing great astonishment in his eyes.

He initially thought Qin Yuesheng was merely skilled in martial arts, but didn’t expect even his physique to be so astonishing.

"Die." Qin Yuesheng swiped downward with his two fingers, and the Profound Celestial Internal Power suddenly became like a sharp blade, slashing from Jiang Taicang’s mouth all the way down to his abdomen, creating a cleft that ran through his body.

Jiang Taicang’s eyes began to grow dull, slowly arching backward and falling to the ground.

[Yes/No - Disassemble ’Jiang Taicang’]

Qin Yuesheng said: "Yes."

[Disassembly successful, obtained ’Refining Treasure Record x1’ ’Inner Strength Pills x5’ ’Nourishing God Pill Recipe x1’ ’Three Fragments of Memory x3’ ’Four Hundred Year Old Zhu Fruit x1’ ’Five Hundred Year Old Huangjing x1’ ’Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill x1’ ’Soul-Hunting Blood Claw x1’]

Jiang Taicang was, out of all the times Qin Yuesheng had initiated disassembly, the one with the greatest spoils. The generous drop rate left him very satisfied.

He picked up the ’Fractured Memory’. This wasn’t the first time Qin Yuesheng had seen such a thing.

The last time, at the underground dragon vein, he disassembled two mausoleum guardian statues, obtaining the statues’ fractured memories, thus learning about their past.

To his surprise, disassembling Jiang Taicang this time had also produced these items.

Without hesitation, Qin Yuesheng began to absorb the three fractured memories.

...

"Hahaha!"

In the night sky, over a dozen Great Ghost Venerables flew about chaotically, their heads emitting wild laughter, as if venting emotions after being sealed for so many years.
