Chapter 317 Another Confrontation with Zhong Yue

A faint laugh lingered here, causing the smiles on Zhong Yuemou's and the demonic cultivator's faces to stiffen considerably.

"Master Zhao?"

Yao Chi's expression changed, and then a middle-aged man suddenly appeared from a distance, standing next to Chen Tianjian. His gaze was fixed on Yao Chi, and he smiled slightly.

"Demon Ruler, it's been a long time."

"I didn't expect you to actually bring all your helpers. But with just the three of you, plus a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled, how can you possibly be a match for the elites of our demon and monster races?"

Yao Chi's expression changed. He was well aware of Zhao Mingcheng's ruthless methods. Although the other party was not a great Confucian scholar, he possessed the Purple City Seal and could exert the peak power of a Grand Scholar. If Chen Tianjian were to fight one-on-one, his chances of winning would definitely be over 70%.

"Your elite demons and monsters? A bunch of demon soldiers and demon civilians dare to call themselves elite? Ridiculous."

Zhao Mingcheng smiled slightly, then stepped forward and said:

"The demon soldiers outside have probably been mostly eliminated by now."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chi and the others' expressions changed drastically, and their hearts skipped a beat:

"You can't lie like that. There are at least tens of thousands of troops outside. Your Northern Army simply cannot kill all of our troops!"

"What if we add me and Lord Zhao?"

Ye Ru smiled slightly, his wings fluttering gently, and said coldly.

"I never expected... that we would be working together from the inside and outside. It was I, Zhong Yuemou, who miscalculated. But even so, you will still lose!"

A look of fury flashed across Zhong Yuemou's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face, and he coldly shouted:

"My lords, don't waste your breath arguing with them. One for each of you, and I'll take Ye Ru!"

"Alright, Chen Tianjian, Zhao Mingcheng, this day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths!"

With a cold snort, the demon ruler stomped its foot and slammed it towards Zhao Mingcheng, creating a whistling sound of demonic wind along its path.

"Hmph, too talkative."

Zhao Mingcheng curled his lips, his inner energy surged, and finally the Purple City Seal appeared in his hand, which he then smashed fiercely at the Demon Ruler.

boom!

The Purple City Seal swelled in the wind, carrying a rich power of talent, enveloping the demon ruler in a vast and overwhelming manner. If that powerful force were to strike, it would surely turn the demon ruler into minced meat.

"Chief Ye, I admire your talent. Why don't you join me in entering the demon realm? I will spare your life and recommend you for the position of a general who, like me, commands an army. What do you say?"

While Chen Tianjian and Zhao Mingcheng were fighting, Zhong Yuemou and Ye Ru stood at a distance. The former looked at Ye Ru with a cold gaze and smiled.

"Excuse me, I have no goodwill toward the demon race. On the contrary, you are a scholar of my human race. Why would you act as an accomplice to evil?"

Ye Ru said calmly.

So that means you disagree?

A smile crept onto Zhong Yuemou's lips, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

"What can you do to me?"

Ye Ru stared straight at him, showing no intention of backing down.

"That……"

Zhong Yuemou gave a cold laugh and said menacingly:

"Then go to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yuemou's figure suddenly disappeared. In the air, it suddenly trembled, and then a beam of talent light, like a light sword, suddenly blasted towards Ye Ru.

Reflected in his pupils, Ye Ru waved his hand, and the Emperor's Sword appeared in his grasp. Then, with a sudden slash, a beam of sword light shot out and killed the enemy.

boom!

The two forces collided and exploded violently. At the same time, Ye Ru did not stop. Instead, he turned around and slashed at a certain spot.

boom!

As the sword light flashed, a gentle ripple spread across the space, and finally Zhong Yuemou's body appeared there.

His eyes held a hint of shock; he hadn't expected the difference between them to be so vast, yet the other's talent to be so abundant.

"I must say, you are indeed very talented, but I am currently at the peak of the Hanlin Academy, just one step away from becoming a Grand Secretary. You alone are not enough to compete with me."

"Fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable! Burning Cauldron, appear!"

Ye Ru smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he pointed his palm, and a golden inscription appeared between his eyebrows. Finally, it transformed into a huge cauldron in the sky, with flames raging on the cauldron, causing the temperature here to rise instantly.

"I think with Ye Ru and the two lords here, we might be saved..."

Guan Mou looked at Guo Ku and said.

"However, it's hard to say right now. After all, these guys are all ruthless, and Chief Ye seems to be under heavy pressure."

Guo Ku looked in Ye Ru's direction and then said in a deep voice.

"Let's go help Chief Ye."

"No, there are two demons on the other side who are of the same literary rank as us. If we go there rashly, we will inevitably be attacked and killed by them, and then things will get chaotic."

Guo Kudao kept his eyes fixed on Ye Ru. He wasn't worried about Chen Tianjian, since Chen Tianjian had never lost a one-on-one fight.

Zhao Mingcheng, wielding the Purple City Seal, effectively suppressed the Demon Ruler.

"The power of bronze inscriptions?"

Zhong Yuemou's pupils contracted as he felt the intense heat. He then took a deep breath, and the talent within his scholarly palace surged forth in an instant:

"White Feather Fan! One fan can decide the fate of the world!"

Gripping the white feather fan tightly in his hand, Zhong Yuemou swung it fiercely into the distance. A hurricane flashed by in an instant, and finally transformed into countless wind blades, which slashed down towards Ye Ru.

"Burning Cauldron, its flames will suppress the heavens!"

Ye Ru pointed his palm, and the towering flames on the cauldron immediately spread out, eventually transforming into a curtain of fire. Within the curtain of fire, countless fireballs, like meteors, crashed down, directly colliding with the hurricane.

boom!

The two collided, creating a massive explosion that illuminated the area as if it were daytime. Even Guan Mou and the others looked up at the sky, swallowing hard, their eyes filled with immense fear.

This is absolutely terrifying.

boom!

With another muffled thud, Ye Ru and Zhong Yuemou both fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

Two large pits came into view.

"This terrifying destructive power..."

Guo Ku gasped, and Ye Ru and Zhong Yuemou immediately got up from the ground, their gazes turning much colder.

"I admit that your talent and intellect are among the best in the world, but if you want to escape from my grasp, you are still far from enough."

Zhong Yuemou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A demonic mark appeared between his eyebrows, and the last skull shot out directly from the mark. It then swelled in the wind and transformed into a skull tens of feet in size.

From within the skull, the agonizing screams of wronged souls echoed throughout heaven and earth!
