It was very difficult to determine an Exorcist’s strength. It was impossible to tell how deep their understanding of talisman arts and mudras was or whether they had powerful Dharma artifacts on the surface.
At that moment, Sect Master Feng was using a mystic technique to probe the psyche strength of the person in front of him. Most Exorcists didn’t care about their bodies but focused on cultivating their souls and minds! This was because most of them had never cultivated their souls to their bodies’ limits, so they naturally didn’t need to waste time on their bodies.
What powerful psyche strength. Although Sect Master Feng was secretly alarmed, he wasn’t afraid.
The study of talisman techniques and mudra techniques required time. The older one was, the higher their realm was. The current generation’s Heaven Master Exorcists were all over 50 years old. One’s psyche grew with age.
Meng Chuan was an exception—his willpower was at the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm the moment he descended! The strength of his soul depended on his body, so his soul would be as strong as his body could bear! Therefore, Meng Chuan’s peak psyche strength was before he was 30 years old.
But in this world, the older an Exorcist was, the stronger their psyche was, and the more terrifying their strength was.
“My friend,” said Sect Master Feng with a smile. “Which sect are you from?”
The moment he spoke, almost everyone in the hall looked at Meng Chuan. Even Marshal Shi didn’t say anything. After all, Marshal Shi was just a warlord. He only dared to act so arrogantly because of the Fiend Refinement Sect’s backing.
With the Fiend Refinement Sect’s sect master personally speaking, everyone realized that this one-armed youth was also an Exorcist and that he might have a powerful background.
“Do you know this young man?” the wart-faced elder asked his companion softly.
“I don’t know him. I don’t think I’ve heard of him among the experts of the Exorcism world,” whispered the young man.
“Both of us don’t know him, so he shouldn’t be from our Binhai’s Exorcism world,” said the wart-faced elder. “Let’s wait and see.”
…
Meng Chuan looked at the gray-robed elder on the stage. “My own.”
Sect Master Feng felt relieved when he heard that.
In the world, the Fiend Refinement Sect was only ranked in the top ten when it came to Exorcism. There were still others stronger than it, and there were also a few Heaven Master Exorcists in the current generation. He was afraid that this young man came from a powerful sect.
Your own? From the looks of it, he’s just a lucky kid who obtained an Exorcism technique, or perhaps it’s someone from the Great Yu Dynasty’s Exorcism Division. He doesn’t have any backing. Sect Master Feng looked at Meng Chuan with a cold glint in his eyes. There are too many young people nowadays who don’t know the immensity of the world.
Even though he was the Fiend Refinement Sect’s sect master, he remained very cautious. He chose to probe this young man’s background first.
Instead, the one-armed youth was so arrogant.
“Ignore him.” Sect Master Feng looked at Marshal Shi beside him and said the words he would eventually regret the most in his life.
When Marshal Shi heard this, he nodded slightly. He couldn’t be bothered to say another word to the one-armed youth.
He only glanced at his subordinate, and his eyelids drooped.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three gunshots rang out simultaneously as the bullets shot toward Meng Chuan.
“Qi’er!” Fang Dalong was also a marksman. He instantly determined the direction of the muzzles and instinctively put himself between Meng Chuan and the bullets.
Meng Chuan stood where he was extremely calmly. Only his left hand stopped his father.
Chi!
An explosion sounded.
An azure talisman phantom appeared in front of Meng Chuan; he didn’t form any hand seals, nor were any Dharma artifacts seen. Instead, it was a pure talisman phantom.
The talisman phantom was about 13 inches long and extremely clear. The runes on it were profound and complicated.
Whoosh!
With Meng Chuan at the center, water rippled in a 30-foot radius. The three bullets struck the rippling water, barely advancing half a foot before stopping in the water.
The wart-faced elder and the young man stood up in shock. “Void Talisman!”
“Drawing talismans in the void!” Sect Master Feng’s expression changed drastically.
The talisman lineage was vast and profound. The reason why one would draw talismans ahead of time was that they didn’t have the time to draw them in a split second during combat. Furthermore, high-grade pieces of talisman paper and other materials were beneficial for spellcasting. But according to legend… there were people with powerful psyches. Their attainments in talismans were extremely profound, and they could form talismans with a thought! They could draw talismans in the void!
This move represented one’s attainments in talismans and psyche strength. There were probably only a few dozen people in the world who could do this. At the very least, they were one step into the Heaven Master realm.
“Disperse,” said Meng Chuan coldly. Droplets of water immediately shot out from the 30-foot-wide rippling water, shooting toward the soldiers—including Marshal Shi and Sect Master Feng.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Apart from the few soldiers who were raising their guns and shooting at Meng Chuan in horror, the other soldiers didn’t even have time to raise their guns. The water droplets had already penetrated their guns.
Only five soldiers—who had shot at Meng Chuan—collapsed with a bloody hole in their glabella. The other dozens of soldiers in the hall were so frightened that their legs went limp, but the guns in their hands had been destroyed.
To Meng Chuan, these soldiers were doing this for a living in difficult times. As long as they didn’t shoot at him, Meng Chuan could spare them. As for those who shot at him, he naturally needed to repay them karma and send them off to the afterlife.
Clang!
A golden bell fell from Sect Master Feng’s sleeve. He held the golden bell in one hand and shook it.
The bell rang, and sound waves surrounded the area. They blocked the water droplets and protected him, Marshal Shi, and the two deputy generals.
Meng Chuan’s Void Talisman was simply too terrifying. Even the dignified sect master of Fiend Refinement Sect didn’t dare to form hand seals to deal with it. Instead, he used one of the Fiend Refinement Sect’s powerful Fiend-repelling artifacts—Nine Tones Golden Bell.
“My friend, there’s been a misunderstanding between us,” said Sect Master Feng immediately.
Marshal Shi and the two deputy generals were horrified. The powerful means of Exorcists were things they couldn’t defend against.
“There’s no misunderstanding,” said Meng Chuan coldly as he did something rare—forming a seal with his left hand.
Once he was done with the seal—
Boom!
An even more terrifying stream of water descended into the hall and wrapped around Sect Master Feng and Marshal Shi.
This is my son? Fang Dalong stared at the scene in a daze.
“What a powerful Water Talisman technique.” Sect Master Feng’s eyes were filled with ferocity as he shouted, “My friend, have a taste of our Fiend Refinement Sect’s techniques.”
Sect Master Feng threw the golden bell in his hand, and the golden bell floated in the air as he used his psyche power to control the Dharma artifact.
The golden bell rang rapidly. At the same time, Sect Master Feng formed a seal with both hands and shouted, “Refinement Fiend, heed my command. Kill!”
Bam!
The wall behind the platform exploded suddenly, and a ten-foot-tall, black-scaled monster appeared. Black gas rose from its body, and the surrounding walls were corroded by the black gas and reduced to gravel.
The black-scaled monster had already pounced at Meng Chuan.
The moment it appeared, the wart-faced elder immediately retreated, and the young man quickly pulled his wife away.
“Great Fiend!”
“Black-armored Great Fiend of the Fiend Refinement Sect.”
The reason why the Fiend Refinement Sect ranked in the top ten was that they had two Great Fiends under their control. One was the Black-armored Great Fiend, and the one controlling it was typically the sect master. The other was a Mountain Moving Great Fiend that presided over the sect’s entrance permanently.
The Black-armored Great Fiend could withstand cannon blasts, bathe in magma, and withstand lightning strikes. To mortals, they were invincible. Even an army would collapse in front of the Black-armored Great Fiend.
With this Black-armored Great Fiend, Sect Master Feng could fight a Heaven Master Exorcist.
This is the first time I’ve encountered a Great Fiend. Meng Chuan was filled with anticipation. He had originally come here for this Great Fiend.
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
“Fire Dharma,” shouted Meng Chuan as a fiery-red Void Talisman appeared in front of him.
Immediately, flames descended from the sky and wrapped around the Black-armored Great Fiend.
The flames were divided into five colors—gold, white, red, black, and purple. Under the five-colored flames, the Black-armored Great Fiend couldn’t help but stop. It wailed in pain as its dark-red eyes stared at Meng Chuan in fear. It began to shrink backward.
“Five-Colored Divine Fire? Heaven Master Exorcist?” Sect Master Feng’s expression changed. He formed a seal with both hands and forcefully controlled the Black-armored Great Fiend. He hurriedly shouted, “Refinement Fiend, attack quickly!”
So what if he encountered a Heaven Master Exorcist?
It took a lot of effort for a Heaven Master Exorcist to kill a Great Fiend, and the Black-armored Great Fiend was known for its defense among Great Fiends. Therefore, the Fiend Refinement Sect had always deployed the Black-armored Great Fiend for fights outside.
The Black-armored Great Fiend endured the Five-colored Divine Fire’s burning as it roared in pain and charged at Meng Chuan again.
From the looks of it, it’s not enough. Meng Chuan formed a seal with one hand, and a cyan-gray talisman appeared beside the floating, fiery-red Void Talisman.
Immediately, turbid water appeared and wrapped around the Black-armored Great Fiend.
The Five-Colored Divine Fire burned the Black-armored Great Fiend’s upper body as the turbid water corroded its lower body.
“Water of the Nether River?” Sect Master Feng found it unbelievable.
Five-Colored Divine Fire could only be grasped when one cultivated the Fire Talisman lineage to the Heaven Master realm. The Water of the Nether River’s poison was terrifyingly corrosive; it represented death. Only those who cultivated the Water Talisman lineage to the Heaven Master realm could grasp it.
He cultivated both the fire lineage and the water lineage and had them reach the Heaven Master Exorcist realm?
To be able to cultivate one lineage to the Heaven Master Exorcist realm was already impressive. There were only a few people in the present era who could do so. If one could master the completely antithetical fire and water lineages at the same time, they would probably be the best in the world.
“Senior, spare this Refinement Fiend.” Sect Master Feng came to a realization. In the Fiend Refinement Sect’s history, only three Great Fiends had been refined. One Great Fiend had been lost in battle. Only two remained! These Refinement Fiends were more important than him, the sect master. A sect master could be switched if he died, but to refine another Great Fiend after losing one would be too difficult.
Roar!
The Black-armored Great Fiend howled in pain. The turbid water wrapped around its lower body, causing it to levitate. It completely left the ground, unable to escape.
The Water of the Nether River corroded its body as the Five-Colored Divine Fire burned it. Even its body was rapidly corroded. Its scales and flesh shattered, and the black gases were burned to nothingness.
“No, no.” Sect Master Feng watched this scene in horror and despair.
The guests in the hall hid in a corner as they watched this scene with trembling hearts.
“Fifth Brother, you know this Master Exorcist?” The other five upper echelons of the Gold Silver Gang watched as well. Their horizons were limited, so they didn’t know what Meng Chuan’s means represented. They could only vaguely address him as ‘Master Exorcist.’
Fang Dalong looked at the talisman techniques his son used and felt that everything was surreal. Is my son that powerful? Could it be that my son had transformed after losing an arm?
“This, this…” Outside the hall, the soldiers on guard saw what was happening through the windows and doors. They were all stunned.
“Leave quickly. The Great Fiend is finished; the Sect Master is also finished.”
“Leave quickly!”
“Ignore the Bizarro Fiends too.”
When some of the Fiend Refinement Sect disciples—who were hiding among the soldiers—saw this, they immediately fled in all directions in fear. They didn’t even care about the 16 Bizarro Fiends stored in the manor. This was because they knew very well that a Heaven Master Exorcist had plenty of ways to track down Fiends. It was very easy to track them if they brought the Bizarro Fiends along.
“Sect Master, what do we do now?” Marshal Shi and the two deputy generals looked at Sect Master Feng anxiously.
At that moment, the Black-armored Great Fiend had completely turned to dust.
Sect Master Feng looked up at Meng Chuan. “I failed to recognize an expert. Could you spare me this time on account of my Fiend Refinement Sect’s contribution to the world?”
“The Fiend Refinement Sect’s seniors have indeed contributed greatly in exorcising and killing fiends, but what do their contributions have to do with you?” As soon as Meng Chuan finished speaking, the Five-Colored Divine Fire touched Sect Master Feng, Marshal Shi, and the two deputy generals.
The four of them were instantly reduced to dust.
A bunch of rotten fish and shrimps! Meng Chuan’s eyes were cold. If they were an army that worked in the interests of the commoners, he would’ve been impressed. However, they weren’t there when the war with the decaying Great Yu Dynasty began.
When the Great Yu Dynasty was finished, these warlords appeared one after another! They would occupy various places and plunder them. Their plundering was even greedier than that of the Great Yu Dynasty. For example, this time… Marshal Shi seemed to have only ripped off the wealthiest and most powerful people in Binhai City. But after this level was harvested, it would naturally extend to the bottom.
The lower class of Binhai City would only usher in harder days.
In this chaotic period, these people who added fuel to the fire and plundered others were even more detestable. They deserved to die for allowing the soldiers to plunder.
“Dead?”
“Fiend Refinement Sect’s sect master and Marshal Shi are dead?” The upper echelons in the hall were somewhat shocked as they looked at the one-armed youth.
When Meng Chuan saw this scene, he pondered, I need to combine the water lineage and fire lineage talismans to kill a Great Fiend if I rely only on Void Talismans. From the looks of it, I’m still far from killing an Origins Fiend.
Meng Chuan looked at Fang Dalong. “Dad, let’s go back.”
“Alright, alright.” Fang Dalong nodded immediately, still somewhat dazed.
Dad? The Gold Silver Gang’s five other upper echelons and the other nobles in the hall looked at Fang Dalong.
…
Fang Manor suddenly became the place where most of the nobles in Binhai City visited.
The military, the business world, and the Exorcism world’s upper echelons came to pay a visit. If they couldn’t gain an audience with Heaven Master Exorcist Fang Qi, they could pay a visit to his father, Fang Dalong.
“Brother, I heard that Heaven Master Fang is now this in Binhai City!” A man gave a thumbs up. “How can us, the small Blood Axe Gang, enter Fang Manor?”
“I once drank with Senior Fang Dalong. He will definitely cut me some slack.” Chief Ma carried a gift and brought the deputy chief to Fang Manor’s entrance. He explained the reason for his visit in a fawning manner. He only said that he was old friends with Master Fang and had come to visit.
“Wait at the door.” Someone went in to pass the message.
Chief Ma waited nervously with the deputy chief.
“Chief Ma, please.”
Chief Ma immediately straightened his back and glanced at the deputy chief smugly before walking in.
…
Everyone in the world knew that a Heaven Master Exorcist—Fang Qi—had appeared in Binhai City.
Intelligence on Fang Qi also appeared on various tables: Fang Qi was originally the son of a wealthy village tycoon. He entered the capital’s Exorcism Academy at a young age and was rather talented. Later, he joined the Exorcism Division and became an Exorcist. After losing his arm, he became disheartened and taught at the Exorcism Academy. During his time at the Exorcism Academy, he often went to the Sutra Repository to read. After the capital was breached, Fang Qi returned to Binhai City.
Once he attacked, he didn’t use any talismans or Dharma artifacts. He just drew talismans in the void and killed the Fiend Refinement Sect’s Black-armored Great Fiend with water and fire talismans. Such strength was terrifying. He had the unspoken might of the strongest person in the world.
The various factions in Binhai City gave all sorts of rare treasures to Heaven Master Fang! They acted as if they were willing to follow the orders of Heaven Master Fang and be his lackeys. After all, the unspoken number one person in this chaotic world—Heaven Master Fang—presided over Binhai City. That way, Binhai City wouldn’t be in chaos.
In the following days, various factions in the Exorcism world also sent people to pay a visit to this ‘Heaven Master Fang.’
Heaven Master Fang was a very nice person; he was willing to share his experience in Exorcism mystic techniques with those who came. This attracted other Heaven Master Exorcists to pay a visit. Heaven Master Fang didn’t hold back at all and communicated with all parties… Occasionally, he revealed his means that were extraordinarily terrifying.
All Heaven Master Exorcists who communicated with him admitted that they were inferior to him.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, seven years had passed since Meng Chuan killed the Black-armored Great Fiend.
