They all converged, releasing a terrifying pressure that blanketed the entire city.

Among them, a dozen or so arms stretched toward the ground, reaching for the men and women who wanted to run but were frozen in place by the horrifying pressure.

These people wore Demon-Suppressing Armor, their bodies rigid and their faces pale. They could only watch in despair as the elongated, evil arms closed in.

"Blasphemers must die."

An eerie, androgynous voice echoed through the air.

The elongated arms seized two people. With two sickening squelches, the sinister palms, brimming with calamitous energy, crushed two Demon Suppression Guards into pulp as if they were clay figures.

WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~!

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT~

A sinister wind swept across the land, and three more Demon Suppression Guards were crushed to pieces.

"Ngh—!!"

In the crowd, an old man’s face flushed red. He wanted to let out a furious roar but couldn’t make a sound, frozen to the spot with grief-stricken eyes.

WHOOSH~

Just then, a sinister arm stretched out above his head, its palm descending to cover him.

"SWOOSH!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Suddenly, waves of Sword Gang materialized on the horizon, appearing above the county seat as if by Instant Teleportation. They struck the outstretched arms with perfect accuracy.

SCHLICK~ SCHLICK~ SCHLICK~

With a series of strange sounds, the ghastly, unsettling, and sinister arms were simultaneously torn apart, shattering into pieces the moment they were severed.

The eight Demon Suppression Guards on the verge of death had escaped their fate, but they were sprayed head to toe with black blood and chunks of flesh.

"How dare you~!"

The loud, androgynous voice, laced with fury, boomed throughout the city.

In mid-air, the countless arms covering the massive, floating body suddenly writhed. They stretched and lengthened, each one coiled in black energy like pythons emerging from a cave, as they shot fiercely toward the northwest.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

From the northwest, numerous beams of light shot over in response.

The elongated, sinister arms numbered in the hundreds.

The streaks of blade-light also numbered in the hundreds.

Under the gazes of countless people on the ground, the two forces collided violently in the sky outside the county seat.

BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

BOOM! BOOM!

Muffled explosions instantly echoed for dozens of miles around.

The blade-light surged, wreaking havoc in all directions.

Under the slicing of the Sword Gang, the sinister arms offered almost no resistance. They were torn, cut, and minced into dregs amidst the chaotic energy.

Black blood, carrying a foul and nauseating stench, rained down, splattering across the ground and occasionally onto the city walls.

"A human King’s Body!?"

The shrill, androgynous shriek made the sky and ground tremble.

WHOOSH-BOOM~!

Along with the furious shriek, a massive Evil Shadow Divine Realm suddenly manifested, unfurling like a scroll to envelop the northwest.

BOOM! BOOM~

In the northwestern sky, a scorching Flame Domain also appeared, roaring and howling as it charged forward with savage intensity.

WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

RUMBLE~!

With a tremendous bang, the Evil Shadow Divine Realm and the Flame Domain collided violently, beginning to cancel each other out. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Within the Divine Realm, ghastly white arms wrapped in black energy and covered in bizarre lightning continuously reached out, tearing at the Flame Domain.

However, within the Flame Domain, just as many dazzlingly sharp Flaming Blades sliced and tangled with them, shredding every arm and extinguishing every bolt of bizarre lightning.

"YAAA~!!"

The massive body floating in mid-air suddenly let out a low, piercing shriek. The eerie sound, filled with agitation and temptation, bypassed the Flame Domain and charged toward the figure behind it.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~!

A great gale gathered, forming a hurricane that swept forward like a tornado to meet the attack.

The sinister whisper miraculously passed through the hurricane and reached Gu Zheng, only to dissipate without a trace.

’An Evil God’s whisper?’

’Immune!’

TCHT! TCHT! TCHT~

Blades of wind bypassed the Evil Shadow Divine Realm and descended upon the massive, floating body, beginning an all-out assault.

Wisps of black energy were instantly eliminated, annihilated into nothingness.

Arms were severed and shattered the moment they grew, falling in pieces.

Ripples in space had just smoothed out, only to form once more.

"No—"

The androgynous shriek began to be tinged with fear.

The entire Evil Shadow Divine Realm suddenly expanded, and the whispers intensified, as if trying to envelop the whole world.

However, faced with the tearing force of the scorching Flame Domain, the dark, heavy sphere continuously shrank, and shrank, and shrank.

The outstretched arms also kept retracting, their numbers dwindling.

Under the slicing of the Flaming Blades, the bizarre lightning bolts were canceled out; as many as appeared were instantly dissipated.

Finally, with a deafening boom, the entire Evil Shadow Divine Realm shattered, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept across the sky and washed over the ground.

Before it could get far, however, it was devoured by the tornado, which swept it up and vented it high into the sky.

The Flame Domain followed close behind, rushing to a position above the massive, floating body. It descended, swallowing the entity that was madly surging with black energy, and merged with the tornado.

The two Domains combined to shred the massive body, destroying all the bizarre lightning and black energy, reducing them to nothing.

TCHT! TCHT!

Sharp glints of light that sliced through space surged in from the outside, joining the assault on the massive body.

WHOOSH-BOOM~!

The massive body lunged, breaking from its original position and fleeing toward the city’s outskirts.

Along the way, streams of black energy mixed with bizarre lightning shot out, wreaking havoc.

But it was useless.

The tornado and the scorching flames followed relentlessly, refusing to let the massive body escape their grasp.

TCHT! TCHT! TCHT~

The sharp glints of light intensified, tearing the massive body apart and slicing it into pieces.

Wind blades and fire blades instantly burrowed into the wounds, entering the massive body’s interior to begin a deeper assault.

In that instant, the androgynous scream grew even louder, shaking half the sky.

Then, after an earth-shattering explosion, the black energy vanished, and the mountain of flesh was gone.

The terrifying pressure that had covered the area for miles completely disappeared.

The tornado and the blazing fireball dissipated in turn.

Wisps of silver light, invisible to the naked eye, danced in the sky.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +3591]

[Demon Points +4367]

The Divine Source released by one Evil God Avatar yielded nearly eight thousand Demon Points.

’Not bad.’

Gu Zheng scanned his surroundings. After confirming that nothing remained of this Thousand-armed Evil God Avatar, his figure flickered and he entered the city.

The original courtyard was now a field of ruins.

The Demon Suppression Guards who had escaped death were scattered about, some sitting, some lying down. All of them were gasping for breath, and no one spoke.

"Cheng, you’ve got some luck, running into another Evil God Avatar."

Gu Zheng floated into the ruins with his hands clasped behind his back, hovering three inches off the ground.

"Hey, it’s not like I wanted this to happen!"

Cheng Zong replied subconsciously. As the words left his mouth, he processed them, shot to his feet, and stared at Gu Zheng with wide eyes. "You... Lord Gu, you... you’ve advanced to the King’s Body!?"

The Evil God Avatar whose divine might had just shaken heaven and earth, nearly costing them their lives, was a fourth-tier entity.

When Cheng Zong had crushed the Communication Token, he had been prepared to die in the line of duty.

The attack had been too sudden; he was afraid the King’s Body expert from the imperial court wouldn’t arrive in time.

When he was actually saved, he hadn’t thought much about it.

At most, he had marveled at the immense power of the King’s Body expert who had come to the rescue.

But now, he realized the person who came was actually Gu Zheng!

The King’s Body expert who had just slain the Thousand-armed Evil God Avatar was Gu Zheng!?

Cheng Zong, who had been away on a mission, didn’t know about Gu Zheng’s breakthrough.

The sudden realization left Cheng Zong completely stunned.

Especially with the feat of Gu Zheng slaying a fourth-tier Evil God Avatar right before his eyes.

He had no choice but to believe it!

The resulting shock and awe left Cheng Zong’s mind blank for a moment, making him forget everything else.

He didn’t even react when Gu Zheng called his name a few times.

So, Gu Zheng turned to the other Demon Suppression Guards, whose faces were flushed with excitement, and asked, "Are there any Evil God Cultists left in the city? If so, where are they?"

"Yes... Yes..."

One Demon Suppression Guard, so excited he was stuttering, pointed toward the eastern part of the city. "Th-those people, they... they ran east."

"Thanks."

Gu Zheng nodded. His figure flickered and vanished as he sped toward the eastern side of the city.

Evil God Cultists also yielded Demon Points, so naturally, he had to kill them all. Not a single one would be left alive!
