Chapter 612: Chapter 256: Loyalty and Righteousness Lord, Long Time No See! (Part 2)

Jiang Shi muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to rush forward, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he continued to roam around the nearby forest.

He intended to eliminate all the experts of the [Profound Shadow Divine Race].

This group of [Profound Shadow Divine Race] was elusive and unpredictable, like ghosts, ordinary people could hardly spot them, and keeping them around was definitely a disaster.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, killing them all would also prevent this group from plotting against him in the future.

Puff puff puff!

Jiang Shi’s hands moved extremely fast, and one [Profound Shadow Divine Race] expert after another began to fall silently and swiftly.

Under Jiang Shi’s eerie speed, this group of people didn’t even know how they died.

After a few minutes.

Jiang Shi finally stopped again.

All around, all the [Profound Shadow Divine Race] members that could be seen were basically solved by him.

It’s just not certain if these are all the [Profound Shadow Divine Race] members inside the Loyalty and Righteousness Tower.

Quickly, Jiang Shi’s body dashed out again, light and nimble, concealing his aura. Under the [Disguise Talent], his body was nearly transparent, flashing by, heading towards the ancient temple deep in the mountains.

...

Deeper in the temple.

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord paced back and forth with a somber expression, extremely uneasy inside.

Jiang Shi’s demeanor made him very vexed.

Once upon a time, this person whom he could have easily crushed with one hand had grown to such an extent.

Had he known, he wouldn’t have been so reckless before.

Why couldn’t he have just tried to win over Jiang Shi?

Why did he have to take such a risky move?

"The way of heaven is intolerable!"

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord sighed to the sky, unclear if he was speaking of himself or Jiang Shi.

"Tower Master, should we leave here?"

A subordinate next to him hesitated and said, "That Jiang Shi is acting like a lunatic now. If he finds out you are hiding here, I’m afraid..."

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord pondered deeply and said in a low voice, "Inform the Shadow Demons to retreat immediately and head to the second base."

"Yes, Tower Master!"

The subordinate nodded respectfully and immediately moved, rushing out of the temple.

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord also did not linger, turning to leave, hurriedly heading toward the back door to exit from there.

However, just as he crossed the courtyard and arrived at the back door, his body suddenly stopped, his face slightly changed, and he looked forward.

Outside the back door stood a tall and sturdy figure, appearing at an unknown time. Dressed in a black Profound Robe, his face was pale yet resolute, with a slight smile, long black hair draping down behind him, and a pair of eyes gazing over with interest.

Jiang Shi!

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s heart sank rapidly, staring tightly at the figure before him, feeling a tempest in his mind.

Has he come looking for him?

He actually came looking for him!

"Loyalty and Righteousness Lord, I believe this is our first meeting, right?"

Jiang Shi smiled. His towering figure blocked the doorway like a small mountain, with brilliant sunlight casting concentrated shadows upon him, and he said, "Honestly, you are taller than I imagined. This way, it’ll feel better when I give you a beating. Otherwise, I was genuinely worried that I’d turn your clone to mashed pulp with just one blow. That would be too unsatisfying!"

"Jiang Shi, you’ve truly exceeded my expectations."

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord spoke in a deep voice, "I truly didn’t expect you to grow to such a level. My original intention was for your benefit, believe it or not."

"I don’t believe it!"

Jiang Shi replied calmly.

"Whether you believe it or not, it was genuinely for your own good. In fact, you and I could cooperate."

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord said heavily, "I control the largest Loyalty and Righteousness Tower, with experts under my command as numerous as clouds. You have joined the Celestial Demon Sect, becoming the Black Lotus Saint Child. As long as you and I join forces, I can ensure you smoothly take over the Celestial Demon Sect and become its new Sect Leader. How about it? Is this offer acceptable?"

"Interesting."

Jiang Shi laughed, showing his white teeth.

"So, have you agreed?"

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s eyes gleamed as he stared at Jiang Shi.

Yet before the joy in his heart could fully manifest, a terrifyingly massive shadow suddenly swept towards his body, too swift, carrying overwhelming pressure and fierce winds, like breaking the constraints of space. Without the slightest reaction time, he was slapped.

Bang!

The sound echoed, air currents exploded.

This clone of the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord was swatted away by Jiang Shi’s mighty slap, flying meters away, smashing into a distant rockery, shattering it completely.

Pieces of debris flew chaotically, with strong winds whistling.

"Tsk tsk."

After swatting the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord away, Jiang Shi clicked his tongue and took big strides, walking towards the body of the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord again, laughing, "The offer is good, but unfortunately, I just dislike you. If it were someone else making this offer, I might agree, but since it’s you, I just won’t agree. How about it? Loyalty and Righteousness Lord, are you angry?"

"Cough cough cough..."

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord coughed up blood, his hair disheveled, struggling to climb out from the rubble, his whole body covered in blood, with an unknown number of bones broken from Jiang Shi’s strike.

He shook his head forcefully, blood frothing at his mouth, and continued, "Jiang Shi, you shouldn’t act so impulsively. You were originally a smart person. Why do you have to do this? Your current behavior is very foolish, don’t you know?"

Whush!

A massive palm, accompanied by terrifying gale winds, struck towards the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord again, force controlled precisely, ensuring a beating while also not killing him outright.

With a bang, the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s body was sent flying again, smashing down dozens of meters away, his injuries worsening, bleeding profusely, shattered bones, and torn flesh, a horrifying sight.

"Speak, continue speaking!"

Jiang Shi smiled as he marched over.

"Jiang Shi, don’t you want to become the Supreme in the world? Don’t you want to know how profound the Realm of the Ancient Saints is? There are countless mysteries in this world, impossible to explore alone. Don’t you desire immortality?"

Boom!

Terrible sounds, body flying backwards, massive blood spray in mid-air.

"Continue speaking!"

"Jiang Shi, you and I could..."

Bang!

Another dull thud sounded, and the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord flew out again.

In this manner, Jiang Shi, as if playing with him, wore a perpetual smile. His massive palm repeatedly struck out, sending the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s body flying, blood splattering, unbearably gruesome, his features blurred, till he bled from seven orifices.

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s patience was rapidly depleting.

Initially, he managed to suppress his anger, repeatedly trying to reason with Jiang Shi through words to stall him. But as he realized Jiang Shi was merely toying with him, he completely lost it.

"Screw you, Jiang Shi, you’re courting death!"

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord roared, eyes red, cursing for the first time.

Even someone of his usually high self-restraint could not endure anymore.

Facing this everlasting smiling foe constantly beating him, the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord only wished he could slice Jiang Shi into pieces and grind him into meat paste.

He even wanted to bite into him.

"How dare you curse at me?"

Jiang Shi looked surprised and angry, saying, "Damn Loyalty and Righteousness Lord, I was just fooling around with you, and you dared to curse me, I’m going to tear you to pieces!"

He reached out his large hand and began tearing at the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord’s form.

Screams sounded instantly, blood splattering, cursing nonstop.

The Loyalty and Righteousness Lord turned almost all his life’s grievances into curses, furiously berating Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi’s tearing grew fiercer.

For nearly ten minutes.

This clone of the Loyalty and Righteousness Lord was finally put to rest by Jiang Shi, completely vanishing, leaving only a head with eyes wide open.

Jiang Shi lifted his foot, stomping down hard.

"Damn Loyalty and Righteousness Lord, this is just a bit of interest, wait for your real form to come back!"
