Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, which was trembling and red-eyed, growled.

Controlling the Red Dragon’s reverse scale, the evil energy shot into the sea.

Chi! Chi!

Boom!

The terrifying beam of light pierced through the seawater and tore through everything. In less than two seconds, it struck the Xuanyin Patriarch’s body.

Before the old fellow could scream, he was vaporized.

After taking care of its target, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul forcefully put the Red Dragon’s reverse scale back into its soul space with its powerful will.

Then, it headed straight for the surface of the sea and extracted a card. Finally, it crossed space and quickly rushed back to the Yu Nation.

Along the way, it kept crossing space, again and again.

During this process, its body trembled even more violently. Its eyes were red and it kept snarling.

When it returned to the Yu Nation, it directly returned to the Void World and sat cross-legged on the ground. It circulated Vast Ocean to neutralize the violent and raging evil energy in its mind.

Evil Energy Sweep, Evil Energy Sweep.

If it wasn’t evil, how could it be called evil energy?

That’s right, Su Jingxing had refined the Red Dragon’s reverse scale, but not the terrifying energy inside.

Vast Ocean could absorb and refine this energy, but it would do so bit by bit.

However, when Su Jingxing executed Evil Energy Sweep and released this energy, he would inevitably be invaded.

Invaded by evil energy!

Moreover, it went straight to his brain, provoking Su Jingxing to go crazy. He wanted to destroy, kill, and annihilate wantonly!

If one’s soul power and will were not strong enough, one would be completely implicated after releasing the attack once and become a killing machine.

Su Jingxing wouldn’t use this killing move until the last moment.

If not to force the Xuanyin Patriarch out, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul would not have used it no matter what.

The longer the evil energy was released, the longer the duration it would be invaded by the evil energy, and the more serious the impact.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul trembled. Its eyes were red, a sign that it had been affected.

This was also the reason why it had returned to the Yu Nation without stopping after taking care of the Xuanyin Patriarch.

It had to return as soon as possible and circulate Vast Ocean to neutralize it!

This self-created ultimate technique combined all the martial arts that Su Jingxing had seen and cultivated.

Rather than dissolving the evil energy, it was more like restraining it.

Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence countered demonic energy, evil energy, and other powers.

The Essence Soul’s body did not have Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence, so it could only be neutralized.

It expended his soul power to disperse it bit by bit.

Using its powerful willpower, it controlled itself to keep from being affected by the intrusion of evil energy and slowly dissolved it.

Just like that, time passed.

…

Yu Nation.

The capital and Qingtian City.

In the central hall that was constantly monitored.

Guan Zhonghua, Luo Xuangong, Luo Shan, and the other cabinet members waited anxiously for the results.

There were three outcomes. The first was a battle over the Internet, the second was an invasion by the barbarians of the Luori Prefecture, and the third and most important was a battle between Martial Sages.

Guan Zhonghua and the others had not forgotten that the invasion of the Yu Nation this time was an attempt by a large faction to kill the current Martial Sage and replace him as the new Kingdom Defending Martial Sage.

Internet battles and barbarian invasions were much less important compared to battles between Martial Sages.

If the Martial Sage lost, no one knew what their future would be like.

Just like in the previous New Chu Nation, the Xiang Family dominated and implemented a policy of coercion in the country.

The officials under them were simply puppets.

Guan Zhonghua and Luo Xuangong did not want to live like that.

Losing their positions was a small matter, what they feared was losing their lives.

Who knew? With the new Martial Sage in power and the faction behind the scenes appearing, would they make an example out of them?

Therefore, Guan Zhonghua, Luo Xuangong, Luo Shan, and the others hoped more than anyone else that the current Martial Sage, Kong Xuan, would win.

Unfortunately, after such a long time, there was still no news from Martial Sage Kong.

The confrontation on the Internet was under control though.

Now, the government had the upper hand, forcing the mastermind to retreat repeatedly. Organizations, companies, and research institutes were constantly taking back control.

As for the barbarians in front of Sunset Cliff…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the vast wilderness in front of Sunset Cliff, countless shells flew over from the sky and behind. They streaked across the sky and landed on the ground, killing groups after groups of barbarians.

Not long after the development of firearms, the barbarians were forced to retreat to the Boundless Mountain Range.

Now, the various long-range shells and missiles were even more terrifying and affected a larger area.

There was no need for the soldiers to swarm up and occupy advantageous terrain. It wouldn’t be too late to clean up the battlefield after the shells washed the ground.

For decades, other than small-scale battles had breaking out from time to time in the Golden Sparrow Mountain Basin, there had been no wars at the other borders.

Therefore, during this barbarian invasion, all kinds of firearms that had been accumulated for decades were poured out crazily like they did not cost money.

From the moment the battle began, the shells never stopped. The wilderness in front of Sunset Cliff had long been blasted full of holes.

Behind them, reinforcements from the other prefectures were pouring in. All kinds of weapons were flying towards Luori Prefecture on transport planes.

Under such circumstances, the barbarians rushed out of the mountain range in batches, but before any of them could reach Sunset Cliff, they were torn into pieces and died.

“Ha, don’t these beasts know how powerful shells are? So many have died, yet they’re still sending more out.”

On a peak at Sunset Cliff, in the temporary command center.

A martial artist in a long robe looked at the image captured by the remote drone and shook his head with a smile.

“Don’t be careless.”

Beside him, an old man who was also wearing a long robe said in a deep voice, “The barbarians have been collecting the news of the various countries all these years. They definitely have some understanding of modern firearms. It’s impossible for them to be entirely ignorant.”
