Zhong Ang raised both arms and first released six colorful columns of smoke.

Each column as thick as a wheel, rapidly elongating like giant pythons shooting towards Shi Feiyang in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, inside the columns of smoke, were nothing but petals: white pear blossoms spinning and flying, enveloped in white smoke; green chrysanthemums blooming vibrantly, wrapped in green smoke; small osmanthus flowers, dot-like and starry, amidst yellow smoke... Six types of flowers, each accompanied by a colored smoke, standing vertically in the air, quite a beautiful sight.

This attractive scene was deceiving, as each flower represented the Primordial Spirit Soul of a person; some were the loyal followers of Zhong Ang who, after death, willingly guided their souls to the Jinhua world promoted in his scriptures, others were orphaned spirits and wandering ghosts he collected through casting spells, and some were his enemies whom he had killed and forcibly captured using spells, merging them with Earth Evil and refining them into various floral forms, the exterior wrapped in Gang Qi drawn from the heavens.

The Six Paths Flower Slaughter Divine Gang launched forth, charging directly at the Nine Heavens Flying Snow Sword Net that Shi Feiyang executed using Heavenly Mountain Swordsmanship.

The "snowflakes" large and small collectively fell and when they encountered the Flower Evil Divine Gang, they were immediately attracted to each other, generating a stickiness, and the snowflakes formed by the Sword Qi were massively eroded and dispersed, then absorbed by the Flower Evil Divine Gang.

As the White Light Sword moved back and forth, it was sucked in by the evil Qi, like wielding a sword on six extremely powerful magnets, distorting and deforming the motion of the sword. Shi Feiyang spat out three breaths of True Qi before he steadied the sword's momentum, causing the sword light to surge and chop continuously, shattering the approaching "pear blossoms" and "osmanthus blossoms" into sections.

The front ends of the two Flower Evils, about three feet long, were cleft apart and crumbled by the Sword Qi, turning "pear blossoms" and "osmanthus blossoms" into sticky white and yellow evil Qi. Within them, the Yin spirits and malicious souls screamed loudly, emitting soul-capturing demonic sounds, gathering into colorful clouds and rising again, enveloping Shi Feiyang.

This thing was a bit formidable!

After a brief fight, colorful smokes everywhere surrounded Shi Feiyang, with petals spinning and demonic sounds repeatedly, irritating his heart and mind.

He intended to break this Flower Evil Divine Gang with the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler but felt that there were too many Yin spirits and malicious souls inside; completely annihilating them would be too sinful. Thus, he summoned back the White Light Sword and combined it with his body into a dazzling arc of white rainbow light, breaking through the layers of colorful smoke and soaring into the sky.

"Think you can escape, you pathetic mutt!" Zhong Ang cursed as he took off from the ground and pursued into the sky, he despised Shi Feiyang and feared his escape, hence released the remaining five Flower Evil Divine Gangs.

He possessed twelve paths of Flower Evil Divine Gang in total; one path, "Peach Blossom Evil", was previously given to a disciple to capture the Black Dragon at Dinghu Peak, but unfortunately, the two disciples never returned, and neither the Flower Evil nor the Divine Banner could be summoned back. Now only eleven could be used, which could not form a perfect arrangement. However, he confidently believed in the ferocity of the Flower Evil Divine Gang, presuming that Shi Feiyang, being young, could not escape just with his sword.

Eleven paths of Flower Evils, eleven types of flowers, eleven kinds of colorful smoke, flexing in the air like snakes, surging like tides, dyed the entire sky over Qingtian County into a myriad of colors, mesmerizing to behold.

The congregation cheered, "The Sect Hierarch manifests great divine power! Definitely, he will subdue and kill the evil demon who dared to challenge us!"

Numerous followers knelt on the ground, praying towards the sky, some admiring the vast divine skills of the Sect Hierarch, others praying for his smooth victory, and many parents telling their children about the glorious deeds of the Sect Hierarch in the past, even many constables knelt and prayed.

Only the Magistrate watched the townspeople kneeling in the mud, his face filled with anxiety. The boy beside him looked serious, staring up at the duel in the sky with a worrisome expression, his two small fists clenched tightly.

Shi Feiyang flew into the sky and zipped into the Mica Tent he had set up beforehand.

Zhong Ang noticed that this cloud was a Magical Treasure. He sneered, thinking that his Flower Evil Divine Gang was specifically designed to break through such mist and light barriers. "This object might be useful against others, but against me, it's met its nemesis. Today, I'm definitely going to capture you and extract your Life Soul to refine it for my main Flower Evil deity!"

He trapped the Mica Tent's transformed white clouds with eleven colorful smoke globes. Then he directed eleven columns of smoke to drill into the clouds from all six sides—up, down, front, back, left, and right—intertwining like loaches burrowing into tofu, searching for Shi Feiyang's hiding place. Once pinpointed, the smoke converged, ready to refine his body and then snatch his soul.

Shi Feiyang was waiting for this moment. He opened his mouth and spewed out two inner cores—the Water and Fire Inner Core. Suspended above his palms, they intertwined and spun rapidly, quickly becoming a Chaotic Nebula with immense suction force. Shi Feiyang controlled this force to capture the surrounding colored smoke and forcibly absorbed it.

At first, Zhong Ang was oblivious. Believing that Flower Evil had located the enemy's position, he channeled eleven pathways of Flower Evil, intending to converge them from all sides. The enemy should be trapped, his bones dissolved, and soul extracted; fighting back vigorously was expected, yet there was no reaction no matter how much Flower Evil he sent.

When he realized something was wrong and tried to temporarily retract the Flower Evil Divine Gang, he found he could not. Shi Feiyang perfectly controlled the suction to lock onto each Flower Evil. Zhong Ang couldn't even retrieve the smallest osmanthus flower. As the flowers were the main part and they were being taken, the accompanying demonic vapors also flew away.

In an instant, Zhong Ang felt as if he was desperately trying to grasp flowing sand, but the more he clutched, the faster it slipped away!

Realizing the severity, he hastily shot his Golden Flower Flying Blade into the clouds to attack the enemy, but was blocked by the White Light Sword. After a brief entanglement, all eleven Flower Evil Divine Gangs were captured.

Zhong Ang felt intense fury consuming his heart!

He had spent a thirty-year cycle and countless efforts nourishing and refining this Flower Evil Divine Gang. The Cultivation Technique, initially from the Demon Cult, was modified according to his circumstances. When first mastered, it was only as thick as a child's arm. Over the years, as the Sect Hierarch, he kept adding improvements until it had reached its current state.

He formed the Golden Flower Sect, and often used these twelve Flower Evil Divine Gangs to perform "Miracles." This treasure was visually appealing, especially when enhanced by Spell during grand festivals to receive followers' worship and blessings or to subdue various Demon Beasts, recognized by the followers as a sacred artifact of the sect.

Now that it had been snatched away in an instant, Zhong Ang was bleeding inwardly, almost grinding his teeth to pieces: "I'll risk everything against you!"

He bit his tongue tip, slapped his left palm against his forehead, and blood flowed from all seven orifices. Combining his True Qi with Essence Blood, he spewed it out while forcefully enhancing his Golden Flower Flying Blade, employing the Soul-snatching, Primordial Spirit-searching Magic. Surrounded by flame-like blood light, he roared as he pounced towards the Mica Tent.

Shi Feiyang, inside the cloud, had already used the Chaos Inner Core to forcefully capture his twelve Golden Sabers. Seeing Zhong Ang cast spells and fly towards him, Shi Feiyang was ready. Despite the fearsome power of Blood Tears Soul-snatching Technique from the Demon Cult used by Zhong Ang, it couldn't even slightly disturb Shi Feiyang's Primordial Spirit. Pointing forward, the White Light Sword transformed into a white long rainbow, cleaving forward like lightning and instantly splitting Zhong Ang into two!

Though Zhong Ang's physical body was torn apart, his Divine Soul remained intact. Realizing he was no match and fearing further engagement, he flew his Divine Soul out from the bisected body, utilizing the spurting blood to perform the Blood Light Escape Technique and hurriedly flew towards Beishan.

Shi Feiyang emerged from the clouds, softly shouted, "Where do you think you're going?"

As he was about to cast the Soul Punishment spell, a man and a bird swiftly approached from the northern mountaintop, loudly crying out, "Who dares to cause trouble in Qingtian!"
