The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Fang Mei appeared out of nowhere and slaughtered more than half the members of the Demon Race.

This act stunned the Half-Venerables. Yet the members of the Demon Race being slaughtered simply stared at Fang Mei with vacant eyes, full of infatuation.

Even in the final moment, as a blade pierced their skulls, their expressions never changed.

The utterly bizarre scene sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

’This woman... she’s terrifying.’

Bi Xiaoyu, who knew Fang Mei, was especially horrified. She couldn’t help but think of all the arrogant young masters in Qingkong City who had once tried to harass this woman...

The thought sent a cold shiver down her spine.

’If she had lost her temper back then, wouldn’t more than half of Qingkong City have been destroyed?’

"Stop this at once!!"

At that moment, the Great Valley Master’s heart trembled. He stared at the members of his race being slaughtered by Fang Mei, his eyes turning crimson with rage. With a roar, his figure flashed through the air. Ignoring Qin Ya, he appeared directly above Fang Mei and slammed a palm down.

"Well, well, looks like the old man is angry."

Fang Mei chuckled, casually raising a hand and sending a Palm Qi of her own blasting upward.

The Qi of Death and Silence collided with the purest True Essence. A terrifying Feng Lang swept out. The countless humans and demons standing nearby were all sent flying like grains of sand.

The Great Valley Master bellowed. Taking advantage of his surroundings, he unleashed his Demonic Qi without reservation. The Qi of Death and Silence coalesced into a Taotian hand, grabbing down with the weight of a mountain.

Fang Mei’s eyes narrowed as she channeled her incredibly dense True Essence. At the same time, her expression became tearful and pitiful. "Are you really going to kill me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Her appearance was enough to stir pity in any heart.

For a split second, hesitation flickered in the Great Valley Master’s eyes.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Fang Mei’s Palm Qi shot forward, shattering the Qi of Death and Silence and blasting the Great Valley Master more than a thousand zhang away.

"Sigh, how could anyone possibly have the heart to kill me?"

Fang Mei bit her thumb and sighed. Her charm radiated from her like a tidal wave, and even the Half-Venerables felt themselves starting to crumble.

This charm made no distinction between friend and foe.

Even a Martial Artist like Qin Ya—whose willpower was incredibly strong and whose Divine Thought had reached the Era-Defining level—felt a wave of dizziness, a sudden urge to give everything he had for her.

Just then, the Void Sacred Seal within Qin Ya’s Divine Acupoint pulsed with silver-white light, instantly dispelling the effects of the Charm Power.

Qin Ya’s mind cleared, and he took a deep breath.

At that moment, the Void Saint, who had been silent within the Void Tower, seemed to have been stirred. He spoke in surprise from within Qin Ya’s body, "Hm? Isn’t that the Venerable we saw in the Slaughter Ruins? Why has her aura changed so drastically? Is this another one of her mysterious arts?"

Qin Ya quickly explained what had happened.

The Void Saint finally understood. His Divine Thought swept over the surroundings, and he said in surprise, "A Demon Cave? Kid, how did you end up in a place like this? What’s even more surprising is that, as a member of the Human Race, you seem completely unaffected."

Qin Ya gave a wry smile. He wasn’t entirely sure himself.

He could guess, however, that it was definitely related to his Devouring Demon Bloodline. After all, its Bloodline Power could even devour Demonic Qi.

"Senior Void, is there a way to destroy the Demon Cave?"

Qin Ya deactivated his Godslaying State and looked up at the clouds, which were being continuously corrupted by Demonic Qi. A chill went through him as he pinned his hopes on the Void Saint.

The Void Saint pondered for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, opening a Demon Cave requires a medium. Destroying that medium is all it takes. But an item that can serve as a medium to open a Demon Cave isn’t something that can be easily destroyed. Even a Venerable might not be able to do it, to say nothing of you in your current state."

"Even if I can’t, I have to try!!"

With a determined glint in his eyes, Qin Ya walked toward the Demon Cave.

In the distance, the Great Valley Master staggered to his feet. He bit the tip of his tongue, the sharp pain clearing his head, and roared in fury, "Demoness, don’t even think of clouding my mind again!"

With a flash, he charged forward once more.

Fang Mei sighed helplessly. Sensing the surrounding environment, she found herself growing annoyed with the Demon Cave. If not for its interference, she could simply unleash her Domain and casually swat an entire group of them to death.

Facing the Great Valley Master’s furious assault, Fang Mei knew he was now on guard against her abilities. She didn’t bother using her Charm Power, instead relying on her terrifying True Essence to meet his attacks head-on.

Just then, a burst of Demonic Qi erupted in the distance.

The Great Valley Master glanced over, and his heart lurched.

He saw Qin Ya, long spear in hand, walking step by step toward the Demon Cave. As if sensing an intruder, the Demon Cave suddenly erupted with a violent surge of Demonic Qi.

BOOM! Demonic Qi gushed out like a tidal wave.

Caught off guard, Qin Ya was thrown back a hundred zhang.

"Quickly, stop him!"

Although the Great Valley Master didn’t believe Qin Ya could actually destroy the Demon Cave, a strange sense of unease put him on high alert. He roared at the other Half-Venerables.

"Yes."

"We must kill this boy here and now!"

Instantly, two Demon Race Half-Venerables shot toward Qin Ya.

Bai Wuyou, Liuu Ruohai, and the others wanted to help, but their Cultivation was suppressed, preventing them from using their full strength. Intercepted by the two remaining Demon Race Half-Venerables, all they could do was watch anxiously and place their hopes in Qin Ya.

A Taotian Demon Flame formed a sea of fire, abruptly sealing the path before Qin Ya. Immediately after, a massive Fist Seal descended from the sky with the force of a falling mountain.

"Break!"

With a long cry, Qin Ya’s True Intent erupted. A terrifying spear light slashed through the void, crashing violently against the Fist Seal. With a deafening boom, the Fist Seal shattered, and the spear light dissipated. Through the dust, two figures emerged, surrounding Qin Ya from the front and back.

"Qin Ya, die!"

"You will pay for what you did to Third and Fourth Brother!"

Roaring in fury, the two of them charged at Qin Ya.

A Fist Seal and Flames shook the very void, whipping up fierce gales. Their pincer attack from the front and back, combined with the environmental advantage, left Qin Ya with no room to evade.

But he only gave a cold laugh. His Four Symbols True Intent and True Meaning of Destruction erupted from him. With one palm, he unleashed the Mysterious Technique of Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery; with his other hand, he brandished his spear and executed the Four Seasons Spear Technique Perfection Form.

With a thunderous explosion, a terrifying spear light and the Ultimate Palm Qi shot out simultaneously.

BOOM! RUMBLE...

The four streams of energy collided, shaking the very heavens and earth. Caught in the very center of the blast, Qin Ya took the brunt of the impact and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

Swallowing another Holy Essence Undying Pill, Qin Ya unleashed his True Meaning of Space. Using Shrinking Inches, he instantly appeared before the Half-Venerable on his right—the one who wielded the Demon Flame.

"Space... Sever!"

With a low growl, a silver-white spear light slashed through the void!

The Demon Race Half-Venerable’s eyes went wide. Columns of black flame shot skyward, forming a towering pillar of fire that surged forward. The instant it collided with the spear light, a deafening roar erupted. But from within the violent Energy Turbulence, Qin Ya charged straight out.

"Dammit! How dare he! This madman has a death wish!"

"Now... die."

The indifferent words rang out. A spear light flashed, piercing straight through the Demon Race Half-Venerable’s forehead. In that instant, blood sprayed through the air. Qin Ya had slain another Half-Venerable!
