Episode 9

"Damn it, I chose the wrong opponent!" grumbled the madam of the brothel after exchanging dozens of martial arts moves against Xuan Ji.

All her attacks were easily deflected and her Martial Avatar was repeatedly thrown back, unable to withstand the attacks of the Asura Avatar.

"Demonic spiritual energy usually weakens the spiritual energy of Cultivators, why is there no sign of his spiritual energy weakening?" she complained again, thinking of finding the weak point of the troublesome nine-handed Asura Avatar.

She had to get out of here and report to the nearest branch of the Demonic Cult that an unknown entity had emerged as a major threat to the Demonic Cult.

Before coming down from the top floor of the brothel, she had already checked the blacklist of names of powerful martial artists who had the potential to threaten the Demonic Cult.

Usually, the names that were on the blacklist would be hunted down and eliminated by the Demon Wolf Pavilion, the largest assassin organization in the Tianwu Continent.

"Why are you daydreaming, Madam? Are flashbacks of your life appearing in your mind?" Xuan Ji teased.

When he fought the Demon Emperor, he also experienced similar things, one of which was regret for being unfilial to his parents, although in the end, he still annoyed his father after surviving death because he asked for an inheritance.

"Shut up, you martial alliance dog!" the madam sneered.

Her Martial Avatar's hand suddenly elongated, demonic claws covered in spiritual energy shot towards Xuan Ji.

However, Xuan Ji crossed his two arms, while another hand swung the Heavenly Demon Sword which was enveloped in blue Fire spiritual energy.

"Taste this!" shouted the madam, spewing poisonous spiritual energy from her mouth.

The demonic claw attack was just to distract Xuan Ji.

"What?" The madam wanted to retract her demonic claw hand, but the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword had already reached her wrist.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakh!"

The madam screamed in pain as the Heavenly Demon Sword cut off her wrist, even though she had channeled a lot of Demonic spiritual energy so that the fire spiritual energy on the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword would weaken.

"Why can't it grow back?" The madam was confused, the blue fire on the Heavenly Demon Sword's slash mark on her wrist was still burning.

Usually, the body parts of the Frog-bodied Female Demon Avatar would regenerate if injured or cut off.

The Asura Avatar suddenly grinned widely and Xuan Ji's voice echoed in the madam's mind, "I will end this fight because there are troublesome old men who will be here soon."

"Huh?" The Frog-bodied Female Demon Avatar looked up at the sky. "Ple-please forgive me, senior! I will repent and tell you all the information about the Demonic Cult."

However, there was no sign that the Asura Avatar, which had descended from the sky, would stop its attack. The blue fireballs on the nine palms grew bigger, making the madam even more terrified and trying to escape.

Boooommmm!

The explosion of spiritual energy caused a large explosion in the form of a blue fire mushroom cloud that soared high into the clouds, a small hill instantly disappeared and was replaced by a giant hole.

The Elders of the various Sects who were chasing after the Jade Heaven Sect Elder had just arrived in the city and immediately witnessed the large spiritual energy explosion.

They used ancient artifacts to protect the city from being destroyed by the strong tremors caused by the spiritual energy explosion.

"Who's fighting over there?" Long Yue investigated. "That spiritual energy explosion faintly contains Demonic spiritual energy. Is an Immortal Realm martial artist from the Martial Alliance hunting down a follower of the Demonic Cult?"

The Second Young Master of the city who had witnessed the fight immediately informed them. "A senior Immortal Realm martial artist found a Demonic Cult follower hiding in our city, Elder. He also beheaded a woman who escaped from the Demon Dragon King's tomb labyrinth. The woman's body has been taken to my White Crane Pavilion."

"Ah, could it be the Jade Heaven Sect Elder?" he replied, speculating.

He did not expect such a powerful martial artist to appear in this small town.

"What did that martial artist look like, did he give his name?" The Tianzun Sect Elder investigated.

He remembered Su Yang's words that a mysterious martial artist named Xuan Ji who appeared in the labyrinth was as strong as the Tianzun Sect Leader. It was possible that the mysterious martial artist who appeared here was also Xuan Ji, because Xuan Ji had not long escaped from the Demon Dragon King's tomb labyrinth.

The Second Young Master smiled wryly as he scratched his head. "I don't know, Elder."

He forgot to ask the comfort women if any of them knew the name of the Immortal Realm martial artist.

"It's okay," replied the Tianzun Sect Elder as he turned towards the spiritual energy explosion which had now disappeared. "Let's go meet that Immortal Realm martial artist."

He immediately shot towards the spiritual energy explosion along with the Elders from the various Sects. The Second Young Master also followed them, because he was also curious about the identity of the martial artist who dared to fight one-on-one with the follower of the Demonic Cult.

However, they were disappointed when they got there, because the former explosion site had turned into a lake. There was no more blue fire, and the madam's body was nowhere to be seen.

"Did he want to cover up the traces of his fight?" Long Yue said, frowning. "Even wasting so much Water-type spiritual energy to create a lake."

"Ha-ha-ha... What a unique martial artist, it seems he has Heavenly talent to be able to use various types of spiritual energy. Oh yeah, what was his Martial Avatar like?" The Tianzun Sect Elder asked the Second Young Master again.

"It was a golden Asura Avatar and used a large, jet-black sword," replied the Second Young Master.

After saying that, he was confused by the reaction of the Elders from the various Sects who immediately fell silent.

"I knew it, it must be him!" Long Yue exclaimed.

"Yes, that's definitely him. But it seems like there is no golden Asura Avatar in the Xuan Dynasty, could it be that he really came out of there?"

"It's possible," replied the Five Colored Mountain Fairy.

"Hmm, why don't I understand what they're discussing?" The Second Young Master muttered wryly, pretending to understand what the old Immortal Realm martial artists were discussing.

"Hopefully, his presence will bring blessings to Tianwu, not disaster," said Long Yue.

"Yes, hopefully, he's not an accomplice of that harbinger of disaster," said the Tianzun Sect Elder, whose words referred to the Demon Emperor.

Shortly later, the disciples of the various Sects arrived at the edge of the newly formed lake.

The Elders each recounted what had happened there.

Su Yang was very grateful that he did not provoke Xuan Ji while he was inside the Demon Dragon King's tomb labyrinth. According to the Heavenly System, Xuan Ji expended ten thousand years' worth of Water spiritual energy to fill the lake with water and make green grass grow on its banks.
