Chapter 590: Chapter 247: The Sinister and Overbearing Celestial Demon Sect Leader

In the dense, pitch-black night.

Jiang Shi’s body was elusive, his talent in Disguise operating to the extreme, indistinguishable from a shadow. He stealthily took action repeatedly, killing one bizarre human skin after another.

In a blink, more than ten human skins had perished at his hands.

Yet he still hadn’t figured out their origins.

Jiang Shi’s body couldn’t help but stop again, his brows tightly knit, staring at the ashes of what had just burned in front of him.

"Strange."

Truly strange.

These human skins couldn’t withstand the slightest injury; even if an arm was torn, they would immediately combust and meet a tragic end.

Each appeared pathetically fragile.

He had thought of capturing them alive, but the power within was too terrifying to restrain, and even the slightest leakage would cause their bodies to combust.

Yet without using great force, he simply couldn’t capture them.

Jiang Shi’s gaze swept out again into the thick darkness of the city.

The whole eerie night suddenly seemed as though all the human skins had vanished.

"It seems I’ve alerted them to the point where they dare not continue their actions. Still, what kind of power is behind this?"

Jiang Shi pondered.

Tonight, Quyang City was bustling beyond compare.

Undersea People, Seven Eastern Sea Races, even the Royal Family, and the Six-Door Bureau.

And many powers he had never seen before had all entered this place.

With a flash of his body, he disappeared again, quietly hiding in a dark corner of a wall.

...

In another direction.

Inside a hidden room.

Three human skins gathered here, each with a face of terror, trembling, their expressions identical to humans, sweating profusely.

"What’s happening? Did you feel it?"

"They’re dead. Our companions are dying continuously. Is someone clearing them?"

"How is this possible? To kill us so quickly, unless there’s Supreme Pure Yang Blood Qi, we wouldn’t provoke such a person. Which supreme expert could it be?"

The remaining three human skins were extremely frightened, their voices trembling, no longer daring to show themselves. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Though they were in human skin form, not just anyone could kill them.

Very few things could kill them.

The most typical was Supreme Pure Yang Qi and Blood.

Infusing this mighty Qi and Blood into them would cause their bodies to combust.

But!

How rare are those with Supreme Pure Yang Qi and Blood in the world?

Known as Innate Vajra.

Even in thousands of years, it’s uncertain if one would appear.

"Could it be that monster from the Meng Family?"

The human skin in the middle said fearfully.

"Very likely; we can’t show ourselves anymore, let’s go, let’s go!"

The companion beside them shook in terror, no longer daring to stay, and quickly fled.

The other two human skins were equally terrified and quickly fled.

...

The night felt incredibly long.

Jiang Shi’s gaze occasionally opened, looking into the pitch-black darkness.

In the night, people continuously discovered the tragic deaths of their companions, causing the previously calm small town to erupt once again in angry clamor, followed by distant sounds of fighting, the noise dull and rumbling.

Clearly, these suddenly skeletal people made everyone start suspecting each other.

Moreover, many held grudges against each other.

This suspicion was bound to lead to a great battle.

By the fifth watch period,

The battles within the city had reached a fever pitch.

As his gaze swept by, he frequently saw people heavily injured, fleeing in panic.

Jiang Shi couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

"This is truly the Jianghu."

The battle between the Celestial Demon Sect Leader and the Zhuo Family Clan Leader of the Seven Eastern Sea Races hadn’t even started, and others had already descended into chaos.

There’s a saying that rings true.

"In Jianghu, you can’t help yourself."

After some time, finally, the morning sun rose, vast golden rays of light spreading across the world, illuminating the entire city.

However, the fighting within the city hadn’t ceased at all.

Jiang Shi stood up from the roof’s edge, casting his gaze around, his brows furrowed.

"Could it be that the Celestial Demon Sect Leader hasn’t arrived yet?"

He immediately concealed his breath, utilizing his body technique, heading towards the Forgotten Heart Pavilion in the South City.

Regardless of whether they’ve arrived, waiting at the Forgotten Heart Pavilion surely isn’t wrong.

Just as he dashed out a distance, suddenly, deafening shouts resonated from afar, spreading in all directions.

"The Celestial Demon Sect Leader and Zhuo Family Clan Leader have appeared!"

"Head to the Forgotten Heart Pavilion, the ultimate battle is imminent!"

"The Celestial Demon Sect Leader has revealed himself!"

Voices echoed one after another.

In the originally turbulent city, dozens of figures suddenly burst out, all speeding towards the South City direction.

Jiang Shi was no exception; his body flickered and quickly vanished.

Upon reaching the South City area, his gaze flickered as he noticed a large gathering of figures not far away. On a tall building, banners of the Celestial Demon Sect flew boldly.

With a flash, Jiang Shi swiftly descended towards them.

As soon as he landed, many in the courtyard were startled.

But Venerable Bai Mei quickly recognized Jiang Shi, hurried over, and commanded, "Withdraw immediately!"

Everyone around quickly retreated.

"Black Lotus Saint Child, you’ve indeed arrived."

Venerable Bai Mei nodded as soon as they met.

"Where’s the Sect Leader?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

"The Sect Leader is waiting for you in the back courtyard. Come with me."

Venerable Bai Mei turned to lead the way.

"Okay."

Jiang Shi immediately followed, saying, "But it seems the city is rather unstable. A wide range of figures have gathered."
