Chapter 405: Spear in Hand (1)

Translator: CKtalon 

The cyan-shirted man with the saber followed behind as he observed his surroundings. I know where the few experts in the prefecture capital live. I have to maintain a sufficient distance from them.

As long as I avoid those few people, the other Demon Vanquishers won’t be able to stop me! The cyan-shirted, saber-wielding man tailed the duo while mixed into the crowd.

After walking for a moment.

The cyan-shirted man couldn’t help but be delighted when he saw a lake in front of him. This is the prefecture capital’s Little Moon Lake!

The prefecture capital was a large city with a population of millions after all, and there were many lakes in the city. One of them was called Moon Lake, while the Little Moon Lake in front of him was much more elegant. It was only about one kilometer in length and width.

Little Moon Lake provided a beautiful vista. There were some restaurants and tea houses around, and there were also people gathered in twos and threes by the lake.

With the lake’s help, my strength can increase by 30%! The cyan-shirted man no longer hesitated. This is it. Attack!

He walked to the river by the side of the road and silently fused into the river, quickly entering Little Moon Lake.

Huh? Xu Jingming was walking leisurely with Wu Qi when he suddenly felt that something was amiss. His psychic force felt a sliver of threat, and he turned his head.

Boom!

Not far from Little Moon Lake, a huge stream of water suddenly surged into the sky like a flood dragon and surged in his direction. This might made the ordinary people by the lake turn pale with fright.

“Run.”

“Run!”

In the face of such a terrifying scene, ordinary people fled in all directions, but how could their fleeing speed compare to the speed at which Green Lake swept up the waves?

A demon! Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly, and a third golden eye opened between his brows.

The moment he opened his golden eye, his burning psychic force shot into the water like a beam of light and struck Green Lake’s consciousness, causing it to tremble.

Divine power, Heavenly Eye!

After cultivating the Dharma Eye spell to the divine power level, Heavenly Eye’s might clearly increased, and he could clearly see the figure hidden in the turbulent water.

“Help!”

“Dad, Dad!”

“Mom, save me!”

Ordinary people scampered away in fright. The mighty currents could reduce them to mush just by brushing past them.

A huge golden net appeared out of thin air and completely enveloped the vast and ferocious currents, completely trapping them. As the starlight swirled, not a single drop of water escaped.

The golden Inescapable Net’s ropes were like woven threads. Although he only had basic mastery of the divine power, Inescapable Net, he could power it with his fourth-realm Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers, making it more than ten times stronger than when he dealt with the city envoy, Earth Demon Zhang Xiu. Such terrifying binding and sealing strength surprised Green Lake.

“Uncle Qi, leave quickly.” Xu Jingming also took the opportunity to use his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers to lift some of the ordinary people by the lake and move them as far away as possible.

In the turbulent water, Green Lake instantly drew two sabers.

“Open.”

The terrifying demonic body’s strength was instilled into the saber, and with a single strike, there was a ripping sound! Although the golden Inescapable Net was tenacious, the ropes snapped one after another.

Green Lake struck out with his two sabers, and the Inescapable Net completely collapsed.

When Xu Jingming saw this, he continued using his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers to move ordinary people into the distance. At the same time, he extended his left hand, and the golden bracelet wrapped around his wrist flew out, turning into 108 golden beads.

The runes on the golden beads swirled, and immediately, the golden beads turned into dazzling golden light that attacked Green Lake at high speeds.

“What the hell?” Green Lake was shocked. The 108 golden beads were fast; he brandished his two sabers in a bid to block them.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Green Lake repeatedly swung his sabers, but he failed to stop a single golden beam. The golden beams had strange trajectories and were extremely fast—all of them struck him.

The Demon God panicked at first, but he immediately discovered that when the golden beam struck him, his tough and thick skin completely blocked every golden bead.

“It didn’t even break my skin.” Green Lake scoffed. “It’s only flashy!”

Xu Jingming used this bit of time to finally move some of the ordinary people around him into the distance. He looked at the Demon God and thought to himself, I’ve already raised Entrapment Net and Flying Sand to the divine power level. Although they are only at basic mastery, I can’t injure him with my fourth-realm Dharmic powers. He’s probably one of the five Demon Gods of Dongming Mountain.

With his current strength, he could independently imprison and restrain a city envoy like Zhang Xiu with Inescapable Net.

He resembles Demon God Green Lake. Xu Jingming had long known about the strongest demons in Cheng’an Prefecture.

…

“Not good.” Qi Chen sensed the demonic aura fluctuations in the north and immediately flew up to look north.

Runes circulated in his eyes as he saw everything that was happening in the direction of Little Moon Lake.

It’s Demon God Green Lake. Brother Wu Ming is in danger. Qi Chen panicked. I’ve waited four months. Demon God Green Lake is actually so cunning as to make a move at Little Moon Lake.

“Brother Wu Ming, I can arrive in less than a minute! This Demon God Green Lake’s body is powerful, so you can’t clash with him head-on. Try to buy some time.” Qi Chen transmitted his voice from afar and flew north as fast as he could.

An old man was napping while listening to an opera. His hair was sparse, and he had lost quite a few teeth. He looked old and haggard.
