"An Outer Realm Evil God dares to run rampant in the heart of Haojing!"

With just a thought, Jingming Daoist had already summoned the grand Dragon and Tiger Qi of Haojing.

He directly deployed a lethal move.

He noticed that the many poisonous insects driven by the Gu God below carried a strong pestilence; once it spreads, the lives lost would be countless.

Roar! Roar!!

In an instant, he flew up, and a longsword appeared in his hand, like countless thundering sounds shaking the sky.

Torrents of Dragon and Tiger Qi surged forth, transforming into a vast sky of thunderous sounds, bombarding the overwhelming visage under the guidance of Jingming Daoist.

Roar! Roar! Roar!!

From the depths of the void, endless Dragon and Tiger Qi roared, transforming into golden dragons charging toward the face.

In the void appeared a grand divine image covered in boundless golden light, with dense golden runes gathered in its light, holding a golden halberd, completely unafraid of the sweeping Dragon Qi. A stroke of the halberd completely ignored the Dragon and Tiger Qi, slashing through the sea of thunder, directly toward Jingming Daoist.

Upon seeing this, Jingming Daoist's expression changed.

Behind him flew up a divine map as radiant as a rainbow, seemingly showing the worship of billions of Immortal Gods within.

"Dong Shen Dao Transmission Map?"

The grand golden body enveloped in golden light in the void revealed a hint of surprise.

"So the Dong Shen Old Monster actually left this treasure to you!"

The Xuan Du Ancestor felt slightly troubled; the Dong Shen Dao Transmission Map was a supreme treasure of the Dong Shen Temple, surpassing Magical Treasures, belonging to the category of Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasures.

It was extremely formidable.

Within the Dong Shen Dao Transmission Map manifested a grand spiritual mechanism, as if it could sweep the void and contain all things. The terrifying Golden Halberd Qi that seemed able to destroy cities fell into it like a clay ox entering the sea.

Jingming Daoist also felt the pressure.

He and the Xuan Du Ancestor were not unfamiliar with each other in martial clashes; the Profound City Golden Body among the Nine Treasures of Xuan Du was notoriously unfathomable, rumored to be left by an ancient desolate god and demon who broke through the Primordial Spirit, its Divine Demon Golden Body immensely durable, and was refined by the Xuan Du Ancestor into an incarnation, possessing the Power of the Primordial Spirit.

This mighty power, even by borrowing the Dragon and Tiger Qi of the Daqian Court, might not be able to suppress the opponent.

He, after all, was not the State Preceptor Dong Shen Daoist, who could maximally mobilize the Dragon and Tiger Qi.

Currently, he's temporarily in this position, able to mobilize at most one or two tenths of the Dragon and Tiger Qi around Haojing!

But at this moment, his master, the Dong Shen Ancestor, was not in Haojing City, having gone to the Barbaric Territory in search of a relic.

It seems this fierce Xuan Du Ancestor had precise timing in showing up!

"Jingming Daoist, your Dao practice is lacking; you can't unleash much of the power of the Daqian Court's Imperial Cauldron, you can't stop my sect ancestor!"

From within the Divine Demon Golden Body came the cold laughter of the Xuan Du Ancestor, who with a wave of his wide sleeve, struck towards Jingming Daoist and several other daoists from the Dong Shen Temple below.

The golden divine light suppressed the void, crushing purely with the force of divine demon sinews and bones, capable of shattering everything!

Jingming Daoist's expression remained cold, the majestic Yin Spirit Power flowing through him, and the Dong Shen Dao Transmission Map suddenly transformed into a daoist robe enveloping him. An endless phenomenon turned into a vast and mighty divine thunder striking towards the Divine Demon Golden Body.

In his hands also appeared a longsword infused with Purple Sky Qi, manifesting countless thunderclouds, condensing the Grotto God Thunder Skill.

Simultaneously, he instructed several daoists beside him to first resist the Gu God and another group of Xuan Du Sect black-clothed death warriors emerging.

"Several junior brothers, hold off the Gu God first; the elders will arrive in a few breaths!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

The remaining daoists understood the gravity of the situation; they knew that several Yin Spirit level elders of the Dong Shen Temple were lurking nearby, and just needed a few more moments to form a surrounding trap.

With determined expressions, they flew up, five daoists standing tall, with the manifestation of a grand, vast Thunder God Dharma Aspect behind them, presenting an enigmatic Thunder God Dao Map protecting the prison cart containing Ming King Changli and others.

The Gu God, seeing this, merely gave a chilling smile, not directly seizing the prison cart, but instead unleashed a torrent of poisonous insects like rivers straight at the generals ahead.

In four of those rivers appeared four special forms of poisonous insect.

Those four insects were the result of centuries of his efforts, cultivated into four mutations equivalent to the Golden Core Level, now refined into Golden Core Incarnations, very effective.

Yet, due to the limitations of Secret Techniques, they couldn't condense to the Yin Spirit Level; otherwise, the vast world would be at his disposal.

In his view, using them to take the lives of mere mortal generals was a waste.

"That old monster should die!"

"Don't harm Old General Yang!"

Witnessing this scene, a few Daoists exchanged glances with expressions changing dramatically, hesitated only slightly before having to spring forward to block it.

Compared to a few death row prisoners, Yang Gonghu and others held greater importance to the Court.

Moreover, those death row prisoners might not necessarily escape!

On a nearby street, Zhang Jian frowned as he watched the scene unfold.

Haojing City was filled with Dragon and Tiger Qi, which restricted these Xuan Du Sect cultivators to some extent. However, since the opponents were Yin Spirit level powerhouses, the horrifying insect sea diving down would mean certain death for people like Qi Yi.

He didn't care about the life or death of the other generals, but Qi Yi and Qi Yuanwu were very good to him and were also his blood relatives; naturally, he couldn't just watch as they fall victim to demonic heresies.

With a slight change in his expression, he activated the mimic jade pendant within his body, converting his life plate into a unique first layer life plate.

Sword Immortal Fate.

In that moment, it seemed as though Sword Qi was rampant around him, with intense starlight enveloping his body and concealing his face. Instantly, a chilling celestial sword light shot from the void, precisely striking the Golden Silkworm Gu King as it flashed like lightning around Qi Yi, transforming into a sword blade and killing it in one swipe.

At this time, Qi Yi watched as the golden lightning was cut down by a single sword stroke, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.

Though he was a Grandmaster Martial Artist, he had no power to resist the terrifying insects.

Upon seeing a familiar figure appear in front of him, his gaze shifted.

At that moment, he heard the figure with a calm expression say:

"Old General Qi, please withdraw to organize the soldiers for self-preservation!"

"Leave this to me!"

Qi Yi's expression shifted, and he guessed the identity of the figure in front of him. Seeing that Zhang Jian seemingly had no intention of revealing his identity, Qi Yi nodded slightly.

"Soldiers, follow me to slay these poisoners!"

Qi Yi's gaze swept around, his face filled with anger. On the long street, many citizens were mostly gnawed to bare bones, while those still alive were rolling on the ground.

Faced with such grotesque means, even the Court's Dragon and Tiger Qi was ineffective.

Dragon and Tiger Qi could only suppress evil techniques but couldn't systematically defend against physical-type abnormal techniques, leaving even these military generals struggling in such circumstances.

"My Golden Silkworm Gu King!"

At this time, the Gu God was releasing Ming King Changli; sensing the fall of an incarnation, his blood-red eyes instantly turned towards Zhang Jian, furious.

With a shrill howl, the surrounding two other Gu Kings suddenly expanded with countless black Qi, transforming into a giant Iron-Backed Centipede, sweeping towards Zhang Jian.

In another direction, a red light, like a haunting specter, made a turn, abandoning the siege of Yang Gonghu and also heading towards Zhang Jian.

Only one Gu King remained charging at Yang Gonghu.

The Gu God was vengeful.

Having mysteriously lost a Golden Core Gu King at the hands of Zhang Jian, he was filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Jian simply squinted slightly as he looked up. He could sense the imposing spiritual pressure emanating from the two Gu Kings; both were at the Golden Core level.

One had imposing demon Qi, and a robust flesh body.

The other was extremely fast, its Divine Thought difficult to track.

But for some reason, those two Gu Kings didn't incite a surge of bad premonition in him.

In the past, he would certainly have been extremely cautious at such times.

Watching the red line cross the sky, his Dragon Roar Sword only slightly trembled, revealing a subtle starlight behind him, like a wandering dragon, accurately capturing that red line that moved at extreme speed.

It seemed the red line Insect King's speed was absurdly slow in his eyes.

With a wave, he obliterated it.

Effortlessly.

He then looked towards the massive Iron-Backed Golden Centipede, though its demon Qi was thick and its body huge, yet in his Spiritual Gaze, it appeared to be full of flaws all over.

The junctions of demon Qi were the weak points.

"How could it be like this?"

Even Zhang Jian was a bit puzzled at this moment; though he hadn't broken into the Golden Core Realm, he had apparently grown much stronger.

After gaining insights into some of the universal principles, he seemed different!
