Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Pei Xuanjing stood tall on the mountain peak, his clothing rustling as it was caught by the mountain wind.
Looking at the three people who appeared before him, a subtle expression crossed his face. These individuals were likely the people Jiang Bin mentioned from the Yin Department.
However, even Jiang Bin hadn’t expected that they would arrive so quickly. Not only had they already reached Xuanfu, but they even knew that Pei Xuanjing would be present here today.
“Ghost Emperor of the Yin Department, ” Pei Xuanjing said calmly, his voice as cold as ice.
As he spoke, his hand moved to rest on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw it at a moment’s notice.
“Pei Xuanjing, you dared to murder the people of my Yin Department. Today, I will kill you in order to boost the reputation of the Yin Department!” The Southern Ghost Emperor gloated, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Southern Ghost Emperor, a long-established first-grade martial artist, was one of the Five Ghost Emperors of the Yin Department.
Not long ago, after hearing of Pei Xuanjing’s killing of the Equality King, the Southern Ghost Emperor took the initiative to deal with Pei Xuanjing personally, determined to slay him and restore the Yin Department’s dignity.
“Ha, kill me?” Pei Xuanjing sneered coldly as he looked at his opponent. “Seems like we are going to have one less first-grade martial artist in the world today.”
“Humph, you arrogant brat! You think I am the same as that waste, Gong Xingqiu? That you, a second-class martial artist, can slay me!” The Southern Ghost Emperor dismissed with disdain.
Even when he heard that Pei Xuanjing had killed Mire Sect’s deputy leader, Gong Xingqiu, a first-grade martial artist, with his second-grade martial artist’s power, it did not deter his determination.
In his view, it wasn’t that Pei Xuanjing was too strong, but that Gong Xingqiu was too weak.
Moreover, no one knew what actually happened that day. What if Pei Xuanjing resorted to some despicable tricks?
“Humph,” Pei Xuanjing gave a cold, dismissive laugh, offering no further comment.
Unable to tolerate further idle talk with Pei Xuanjing, the Southern Ghost Emperor had turned to the two men behind him and ordered, “Black and White Impermanence, kill him!”
The two men who followed him, one in black and one in white, had long, disheveled hair and each wore a long and pointed black or white hat respectively. Each held a mourning stick in their hands.
“Yes, Ghost Emperor!” The Black and White Impermanence answered in unison.
The Black and White Impermanence were well-known assassins of the Yin Department, also known as the Soul Hookers because of the numerous skilled fighters who had died by their hands.
The pair immediately leaped into action, charging straight towards Pei Xuanjing.
The two mourning sticks whirled toward him, accompanied by the eerie aura exuding from their bodies.
In a flash, a chilling aura swept over the mountain peak, and stones flew around, heading straight for Pei Xuanjing.
Regardless of his previous condescension, the Southern Ghost Emperor kept a wary eye on Pei Xuanjing’s every move.
Despite harbouring doubts about Pei Xuanjing’s abilities, his many years of cautious instinct retained his vigilance.
As the Black and White Impermanence began their attack with the mourning sticks, Pei Xuanjing remained unfazed.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Pei Xuanjing twisted his wrist and drew his long sword from its scabbard.
“Child’s play!” Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly.
sword light.
The sword’s light was piercing, like a bright sun; no one could look straight at it. In a split second, the entire mountain peak was engulfed in the sword’s light.
Synchronized with his sword strike, the True Qi within Pei Xuanjing’s body circulated, filling him with Blood Qi, and his strength exploded.
The countless sword lights eventually fused into one!
Pei Xuanjing held nothing back, swords clashing in the wind and thunder, unmatched as they descended from the sky.
“That sword!” The Southern Ghost Emperor in the distance was aghast.
Despite the distance, he could feel the ferocious power emanating from that sword.
He had a premonition that even if it were him facing that violent strike, he would only be able to dodge, not withstand it.
If such were the case for the first grade martial artist Southern Ghost Emperor, then how would it be for Black and White Impermanence, who happened to be beneath the swords’ light?
When they first attacked, they wanted to catch Pei Xuanjing off guard and not give him a chance to counterattack. This was their most familiar tactic.
However, they didn’t anticipate that their opponent would act so quickly, unleashing such a violent slash in just a split second.
Presented with such a sword, they could clearly feel its endless power.
In fact, the pair sensed the breath of death that was almost palpable; how could this not frighten them?
In this case, faced with such a terrifying sword, the pair couldn’t evade.
“We have no choice, go for it!” Because of their tacit understanding built over a long period, the Black and White Impermanence simultaneously made a decision within a split second.
At this moment, they both held nothing back, not daring to either.
Boom!
The boiling Blood Qi exploded, and their Blood Qi entwined together. There was no sign of rejection, yet they seemed to merge and gather further to boost their power.
“These two are even revealing their trump cards, they should now have no problem dealing with this sword.” The Southern Ghost Emperor thought.
Although the Black and White Impermanence were only second-class martial artists, they were brothers who shared meals and a roof from a young age, thus they excel in combination attacks. Even when facing a first-grade martial artist, they still had the strength to retaliate, even though they often lost.
Usually, a martial artist’s Blood Qi contains the True Qi of that martial artist, so each martial artist’s Blood Qi not only tends to resist each other, but also rejects each other.
But as brothers practicing complementary martial arts, the Blood Qi of these two people did not reject others as usual, but instead they merged and gathered, bursting out the power that could even match that of first-grade martial artists.
Bang!
The gigantic forces collided, causing an overwhelming vibration.
On the mountain peak, stones were flung about and exploded, creating a cloud of dust.
Thump! Thump!
The Black and White Impermanence were flung backward, their clothes torn and their bodies marked by countless sword wounds. They sprayed fresh blood as they crashed onto the ground.
It was obvious that they had lost to Pei Xuanjing’s sword.
“How… how is that possible!” The Southern Ghost Emperor’s face turned pale, finding it hard to believe.
The pair were very sturdy for they had once held their ground against a first-grade martial artist for a hundred moves, and even managed to wound that expert when they caught them by surprise, thus establishing their reputation.
However now the pair stood defeated on the ground after using their trump cards, and they had not even withstood a single attack.
“Too weak.” Pei Xuanjing commented simply.
His expression was as calm as ever, clearly showing that defeating these two so effortlessly didn’t give him a sense of accomplishment.
Since he had killed the first-grade martial artist Gong Xingqiu, Pei Xuanjing’s opponents were no longer martial artists of the same realm. Only first-grade martial artist experts would be able to make him act earnestly.
After speaking, without giving a second look to the Black and White Impermanence who had lost their fighting spirit, Pei Xuanjing turned his focus to the Southern Ghost Emperor.
“Now, let me see the infamous powerful moves of the Yin Department’s Ghost Emperor!”
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing•s words, the Southern Ghost Emperor discarded his concern for the fate of the Black and White Impermanence.
At this moment, the arrogance on his face vanished, and he looked at Pei Xuanjing solemnly..
