He stepped forward, that single step landing on everyone’s hearts as if it were a thunderclap.
The aura around him surged abruptly, like a raging tsunami, sweeping towards Chen Ping.
That pressure of the second rank Earth Immortal Realm felt like a thousand-jin burden, suffocating everyone under its weight.
The surrounding demon race cultivators all knelt to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, without even the strength to lift their heads, as if pinned down by an invisible force.
Li Qingshan and the others turned even paler, like sheets of white paper, gasping for breath under the pressure, barely managing to stay upright, their legs heavy as if filled with lead.
“Listen up!”
A flicker of ruthlessness flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes, that gaze like a venomous snake, sending chills down spines, “I am the Enforcement Envoy of the Evil Path Hall, ordered to oversee the refinement of immortal stones in the Yuande Realm! You disrupted the Evil Path Hall’s plans and dared to lay hands on Yunmiao, you are simply courting death!”
He paused, his tone full of disdain, as if Chen Ping were nothing more than an ant he could crush at will: “If you know what’s good for you, get out of the Yuande Realm right now and hand over all the immortal stones you took! Otherwise, today I will turn you to ashes, leaving you no chance even for reincarnation!”
The demon race cultivators, upon hearing the words “Evil Path Hall”, trembled with even greater excitement, their eyes filled with fanaticism, as if they had glimpsed the hope of their revenge.
“It is the Evil Path Hall! The legendary Evil Path Hall that rules over ten thousand lower realms!”
“My lord is mighty! Kill this brat quickly, avenge us!”
“He definitely cannot beat the lord from the Evil Path Hall! We are saved now!”
They shouted one after another, their voices brimming with worship for the black-robed man and hatred for Chen Ping.
Chen Ping was slightly taken aback, he had not expected the Evil Path Hall to be involved as well, and judging by the reactions of these demon cultivators, they seemed quite familiar with the Evil Path Hall.
For the Divine Hall’s cultivators to join forces with the Evil Path Hall’s cultivators in controlling the Yuande Realm, that was intriguing.
The hearts of Li Qingshan and the others sank completely, they had long heard of the Evil Path Hall’s notoriety, it was a force that made countless people tremble in fear, an existence even the immortals of the Heavenly Realm had to treat with caution.
This Enforcement Envoy before them was at the second rank of the Earth Immortal Realm, in their view, no matter how strong Chen Ping was, how could he possibly stand against such a formidable opponent?
Their eyes were filled with despair, as if they could already see the outcome of Chen Ping’s defeat.
“Evil Path Hall?”
Chen Ping suddenly laughed, that smile relaxed and natural, as if he had heard something amusing, as if the black-robed man before him were nothing but a clown leaping about.
“I thought it was some big shot, turns out you are just a dog of the Evil Path Hall.”
The black-robed man’s face darkened instantly, like the sky before a storm, thick with clouds.
Killing intent blazed in his eyes, that gaze as if it could hack Chen Ping to pieces a thousand times over: “Brat, you dare insult my Evil Path Hall? Looks like I need to show you some colour, or you will never know the heights of heaven and the depths of earth!”
He suddenly raised his hand, the black mist instantly condensing into a massive demonic claw, that claw as large as a small mountain, whistling through the air with a tearing sound as it lunged towards Chen Ping.
This claw contained the full power of the second rank Earth Immortal Realm, in the Yuande Realm, almost no one could withstand it.
The surrounding space twisted under the grasp, like a crumpled piece of cloth.
Wherever the demonic claw passed, the air ignited, crackling with pops, as if a terrifying storm was about to descend.
The demon race cultivators all showed excited expressions, their eyes wide open, as if eager to witness Chen Ping being torn apart with their own eyes.
Cruel smiles bloomed on their faces, as if they could already see the scene of Chen Ping’s flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Li Qingshan and the others closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the scene that followed, their hearts filled with worry and fear, as if what Chen Ping was about to face was a catastrophe from which there was no escape.
