"Rage?" Jiang Xiu glanced at Madame RV, his eyes lacking the slightest tint of mirth, only flames of rage swirling deep inside them as his aura slowly rose up. "Korea's Lee family, Long family, Heaven's Gate.."

His gaze shot towards Long Yingqing's pale face suddenly. His eyes turning pitch-black, and his hair growing crazily as a flame-like fury engulfed the vast skies.

"WHERE SHALL I DIRECT MY, JIANG LUOXIA'S RAGE?!"

China's No.1 Demigod had finally made a move!!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky all of a sudden, covering up the moon's radiance. A gale brewed up as thunder echoed from a distance along with sizzling lightning flashes. It was as if a God had descended unto the human world, instilling a quaking fear in humans.

"Oh my God!"

Those present here had finally realized how powerful Jiang Xiu was. Killing a person was something trivial compared to his actual abilities, his power was able to influence the world and produce a change in it.

The dense and dark clouds repressed the entire area continually.

Long Yingqing's body began to tremble, her face turning as pale as paper. She couldn't keep standing anymore and collapsed to the ground, unable to move an inch. An indescribable pain, originating from the depths of her soul, tortured her. In an instant, her forehead was covered in sweat, after which she curled up into a circle.

"AAAHHHHHHH!!"

Inside a castle somewhere in Gaulle, a mournful, furious howl resounded across the entire place. This yell hadn't occurred on the material plane but instead directly appeared in the minds of everyone present in this area.

"What happened?"

Inside the Heaven's Gate meeting room, a man donned in a black Daoist robe shuddered in pain.

"What happened? Tell me!"

They were all Demigods and were here to the decide whether to kill or subdue Jiang Luoxia whom they had duped into coming over to Europe. Whilst they were amidst a fierce argument, this unexpected incident suddenly took place.

"Why aren't you saying anything?!"

The man's fingers tightly gripped onto the wooden table. His hand turned transparent with an extremely sinister black vapor continuously rising out of it.

"Long Zaizong, someone is tampering with your great-granddaughter's body!" His voice was hoarse and full of pain.

"What's the situation?"

Many present here knew about the affair. In those days, that little girl called Long Yingqing was on the brink of dying. Long Zaizong had asked the monk for help who had then used a secret skill to preserve her life, and from then, that little girl became a sacrificial medium to the monk. Due to this, the Long family owed the monk a favor.

But someone was tampering with that little girl's body now, making him suffer extreme pain.

"Prestigious Grand Monk, how can such a small thing trouble you?" An elderly Chinese man spoke up. His face was covered in wrinkles and appeared like an art piece with sunken depressions all over. He wore a relaxed smile on his face and didn't take this issue seriously at all.

Not only him, none of the others present here took it seriously.historical

They boasted strength far surpassing that of people in this world and believed they were experts who stood at the summit of this world. No one could affect them, let alone threaten them.

"Quickly settle it. We have important matters to discuss!"

But..

The monk began to shiver even more violently, and black vapors kept rising out of him. His eyes became bloodshot while his face wasted away at speed visible to the naked eye. His strength could be seen fading away quickly. He screamed loudly, "It's Jiang Luoxia!"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing these words.

"Just what is happening?"

The monk explained, "He's forcefully pulling out the dead soul I planted inside Ms. Long's body. It's the clone which I had refined by making strenuous efforts and is also my life source.. Jiang Luoxia.. He wants to pull it out of her.. There's no way for the dead soul to escape.. It's going to be defeated!"

"AARRGGGHHH!!"

The monk screamed in pain again. The sensation he felt was as if a human's soul was being pulled out of the body forcibly. The fusion between the soul and body was similar to that of skin and flesh, and the pain he felt right now was akin to the pain felt when being skinned alive.

"Are you unable to resist him?"

Long Zaizong was alarmed. The other Demigods were the same as well, waiting for the monk to answer. They couldn't believe it. The monk had pursued the way of giving birth to a sacrificial soul to cultivate and reached his current cultivation level. Even if Jiang Luoxia's strength was stronger than his, it wasn't for sure that his achievements on this path would be higher than the monk's.

This was no matter to kid about. Could a man who hadn't even turned 20 compete with a monk who had cultivated on the scriptures for a generation?

"AARRGGHHH!!"

The monk screamed again. Now, even his body had begun to wither.

"S-Save me.."

The relaxed expressions on the Demigods present here disappeared after hearing the monk's cry for help. Their faces turned grim as they had realized the situation didn't look good.

The monk was actually unable to resist Jiang Luoxia!!

According to the present circumstances, if the monk couldn't break free, he'd die tragically here.

All of them drew in a cold breath after thinking of this.

Jiang Xiu actually seemed to have higher attainment in the domain of the enigmatic soul sacrifice as well.

"Hah! Look now. We're still discussing whether to admit him into our organization while he gave us a display of strength first." One of the men slammed the table in a fury.

"We must kill him!"

The monk was still howling with pain. This path which he had cultivated was actually a very unorthodox one, few to almost none cultivated this way. Therefore, though there were plenty of Demigods here, none were able to help him.

"H-Help me.."

A voice came through, "Abandon your clone."

The man donned in the nine-python robe slowly turned around, "It wasn't easy for you to refine the clone, but compared to your life, you ought to know which is more important. We have a saying in my China - Where's there's life, there is hope."

If the monk broke off the link with his clone, Jiang Luoxia wouldn't have any means to attack him, and he could at least preserve his life.

"It'll be too late if you tarry."

The monk clenched his teeth and assumed a queer seal with his hand while chanting a profound incantation. His body trembled, following which a dense amount of black vapor scattered free from his body and disappeared.

"Aaaaahhhh.."

He released a relaxed breath, as if all his power had been sucked out, and didn't even had the strength to move. He seemed to have aged a lot and looked wasted, his skin appearing like that of a tangerine's peeled off skin.

"How do you feel?"

The monk said, "I've somehow escaped with my life, but I've lost 70-80% of my cultivation."

But immediately after that, his expression turned quite peculiar. He said, "Jiang Xiu wants me to pass a message. Those who offend he, Jiang Luoxia, won't just die alone, but rather their entire group shall die together."

Whoosh!

This stone tossed onto the pond had created a thousand ripples!

"Jiang Luoxia really has the nerve to say this. He actually shows contempt for my Heaven's Gate so openly." A gloomy voice resounded in the room.

"An insignificant newly ascended Demigod actually dares to speak such audacious words. It seems like our Heaven's Gate has acted too lenient in the past few years. They have already forgotten our ferocity."

"It's really ridiculous that there were even people proposing to take in Jiang Luoxia."

"Is there a need to discuss this anymore?"

A Demigod spoke indignantly, unable to restrain his anger. Their supreme Heaven's Gate was being humiliated in such a way. This was a big disgrace to them.

"What face will our Heaven's Gate have left if we don't kill Jiang Luoxia."

The nine-python robed man furrowed his brows. "What did he say?"

The monk said, "He even said he's sending a gift to everyone.. It's in my torso.." He felt a painful heat in his torso as he said this and the heat was becoming a little unbearable for him. He took off his robe just as a radiance in the shape of a profound character radiated from inside him.

"What is this?"

The monk's facial expression began to twist in pain, and that character-shaped light broke out with an intense glow. He screamed once again and as that glow reached a peak.. the monk's body exploded.

Burnt ashes floated inside the whole room.

A deathly silence took over the place!

The Demigods were all stupefied, their eyes wide open in shock. Even the nine-python robed man's grimaced, revealing fear in his eyes as he tightly held onto the Longevity Stone.

W-What kind of method is this?

The ability to kill a Demigod through a distance of several hundred km was extremely frightening.
