Chapter 21: Domineering Seal Control
The domineering fist seal, the blood energy is fierce!
The residual power in the palm print directly tore Chen Qinggang's protective blood energy, burning his arm, and the horror of the situation was evident.
At this moment, a touch of gravity, caution, and even fear appeared in Chen Qinggang's eyes.
The strength of this senior was more terrifying than he had imagined.
It was even stronger than his guess back at the Demon Control Department.
"Who could it be, hiding such an extraordinary expert in Peace Town?" Chen Qinggang was lost in thought.
Nowadays, the Town Lord is away, and he is the only one among the Three Great City Guards stationed in the Demon Control Department.
With such a great expert lurking about, he felt uneasy, like there was a thorn in his back.
With such strength, if they really had other intentions, they could easily kill him with just a finger.
However, it seemed that this expert didn't have any hostility, otherwise they wouldn't have saved them multiple times.
"How did they achieve this palm print?"
The people dared to come and look at the huge palm print with some astonishment.
"Master, is this an Inner Divine Weapon Skill?" Wang Qingwan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Qinggang nodded, "This is an extremely overbearing and powerful Inner Divine Weapon Skill. According to my estimates, it has reached at least the Seventh Rank, and may even surpass Old Zhang's 'Thunder Sound Dragon Spear'."
Zhang Beixuan's strength was the highest among the Three Great City Guards.
Although his cultivation of the ''Thunder Sound Dragon Spear'' was also a Seventh Rank Inner Divine Weapon Skill, he couldn't compare with this expert.
That's because the former couldn't simply burn his arm with the residual blood energy.
It was obvious that this senior expert had accumulated a large amount of Pure Yang Power in his body, and was only a step away from the Eight Changes of Refining Realm.
"Can the Inner Divine Weapon Skill be this powerful?" Xu Qian was astonished, and his heart was greatly touched.
It was like when he first went to a bathhouse as a child, seeing the differences between himself and others, and realizing that the world was much larger than he had imagined.
In his eyes, no one in the entire Demon Control Department could be compared to him. Those Demon Sealing Masters and Demon Locking Prison Guards didn't even have the qualifications to speak with him as equals.
Even those who were Demon-slaying Guards like him, he didn't really respect from the bottom of his heart.
He once thought that one day he would cultivate to the Refining Realm Sixth Transformation, cultivate a powerful Inner Divine Weapon Skill like Chen Qinggang and Zhang Beixuan, and even surpass them.
He had imagined this scene countless times in his mind.
But he never thought that the Inner Divine Weapon Skill could be cultivated to this extent.
Xu Qian was somewhat dazed, as the impact of this scene was too great for him.
He suddenly felt extremely small and pitiful, and a sense of unwillingness, anger, and even desire slowly grew in his heart.
Xu Qian slowly stepped forward, wanting to touch that palm print and feel the residual warmth of the power at close range.
"Fool, back away!"
At this moment, Chen Qinggang's expression changed drastically, and he shouted suddenly.
Boom boom boom...
An overbearing force surged like a wave, rising from the palm print, knocking Xu Qian more than twenty meters away.
Xu Qian's face twisted rapidly during the horizontal flight, as he felt the power rampaging and roaring on his body, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
Thump thump thump...
Xu Qian crashed through one tree after another, like a sandbag.
The sounds of trees breaking, bones shattering, and Xu Qian's painful screams echoed in the mountain forest, composing a beautiful, harmonious melody.
In the end, Xu Qian directly crashed into the cliff, unable to get down.
"Quick, save him!" Chen Qinggang shouted.
The residual might of the domineering palm print even caught him off guard, yet this fool dared to approach it. Wasn't this just seeking death?
If something were to happen, he, as the remaining City Guard, would also be held responsible.
Such a fool...
As Chen Qinggang gave the order, everyone rushed over, working together to pry Xu Qian off the cliff.
Xu Qian had already fainted, his breath weak and his body bloodied.
Chen Qinggang approached, and with just a glance, his brows furrowed tightly.
Xu Qian's injuries were even more severe than he had anticipated.
"Quickly, take him back for treatment," Chen Qinggang waved his hand and spoke solemnly.
…
At this moment, Zhou Dao had already returned home, completely unaware of the events that took place in the mountains.
"Heaven and Man are in One is certainly powerful, but it's a shame that I can't unleash that kind of power again," Zhou Dao felt regretful.
Under the state of Heaven and Man are in One, his potential had fully burst forth, and the fusion of spirit and body allowed him to display the most perfect and powerful Sage's Great Hand Seal.
Although Zhou Dao had cultivated the second layer of the Sage's Great Hand Seal with the aid of that state, which was close to reaching the seventh rank [Inner Divine Weapon Skill], he could not reproduce that kind of power again.
"At least I gained something this time," Zhou Dao wasn't too greedy.
Now, his Refining Realm Seventh Transformation [Eighteen Thunders] and having cultivated the second level of Sage's Great Hand Seal, he held three talismans and a Crimson Spirit Peach Wood Sword.
It was already quite terrifying to possess such means and strength at his age.
If he were to become a Demon-slaying Guard, he could obtain the White Feather Eighth Rank, completely surpassing Xu Qian, Gu Xiangling, and others, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Three Great City Guards.
But this was not what Zhou Dao wanted.
All he wanted was to stay in the Demon Gathering Room, quietly offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Founder and improving his strength without any pressure.
"I'm a little hungry, time to eat something!"
Zhou Dao was in a good mood and decided to add a chicken drumstick to his dinner.
…
Late at night, South Mountain in Peace Town.
The night wind whistled, brushing through the forest.
A figure stood before the giant palm print, unexpectedly it was Yuan Shaobai, and beside him was the terrifying Mastiff Demon.
"A seventh rank Inner Divine Weapon Skill? Capable of unleashing such power? Is this a joke?" Yuan Shaobai's eyes shifted as he found it hard to believe.
"A seventh rank Inner Divine Weapon Skill, if cultivated to the extreme, may barely reach the power of a sixth rank," the Mastiff Demon spoke in a deep voice, its ferocious eyes flickering with a trace of shock and wariness.
He had not expected that the human's progress in just half a year would be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
What kind of aptitude was this?
Such a monster was actually hiding itself in the small Peace Town!
"It seems he has set his sights on Li Cangfeng's sword as well," the Mastiff Demon thought to himself.
"There's such an expert in Peace Town?" Yuan Shaobai became suspicious.
However, he soon understood, as such strength would naturally not make a move easily. Mountain and Water do not reveal themselves, so it was normal for him not to know.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shaobai couldn't help but look at the Mastiff Demon.
"Do you still have a chance now?"
In order to obtain Li Cangfeng's sword from the sealed Great Demon, Yuan Shaobai needed to rely on the Mastiff Demon.
However, with such a powerful expert suddenly appearing, there might be some accidents.
"His strength is too strong…" the Mastiff Demon gritted its teeth, filled with wariness, "But… I still have a way."
"What way?" Yuan Shaobai's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but ask.
"After the Demon Control Department kills a demon beast, they will dispose of and burn the demon beast's remains, then seal its ashes beneath the department. Every two years, someone from above will be sent to deal with them," the black Mastiff Demon sneered.
"By now, there should be a large accumulation of demonic beast ashes under the Demon Control Department!"
"I have a secret method that can convert these demonic beast ashes into demonic energy…" The black Mastiff Demon revealed a sinister smile, "When the time comes, I'll be able to directly break through to the Slaughter Level, and the entire Demon Control Department will become my food!"
"As for you, you will be able to fulfill your wishes as well!"
"The entire Demon Control Department…" Yuan Shaobai's eyebrows raised slightly.
There were hundreds of people within the Demon Control Department of Peace Town. What would happen if they were all killed?
"Put away your kindness, you've already set foot on this path, there's no turning back," the black Mastiff Demon said solemnly.
"So be it! Let's kill them all!" Yuan Shaobai spoke indifferently.
