Boom!
Explosions continuously sounded out.
As the sounds of magical powers clashing rang out continuously, another figure was sent flying. Together with Zhang Chong and the others, they crashed heavily onto the ground, producing a familiar sound of collision.
"Finally done."
After dealing with the Nine Peaks City Lord, the Foundation Building demonic cultivator gave a cold smile and finally stopped, "It took me a lot of effort to deal with you all."
He looked at the people on the ground and said coldly.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhang Chong and the others silently sighed. Just sitting there, they could already predict what would happen to them.
Without a doubt, they would not have a good ending.
That was for sure.
What good could happen to them after falling into the hands of a demonic cultivator?
If he did not kill them now, it was most likely because he had other plans, or something even more terrifying was about to happen.
On the ground, the injured clan leaders furiously glared at him. If looks could kill, this demonic cultivator would have been killed hundreds or thousands of times over.
However, all of this was useless.
Looking at these people and meeting their gazes, the Foundation Building demonic cultivator coldly laughed and was about to call for people to go up and take down these people.
However, at that moment, he realized that something was wrong.
Beside him, all of his subordinates froze.
They were all in unison, all of them maintaining their previous actions. They seemed quite stiff and seemed quite special.
It was as if they were living statues.
Some of them even had cold smiles on their faces, as if they were expressing disdain towards these people.
However, after they froze, their expressions became quite laughable.
"Who is it?"
Seeing this, the Foundation Building demonic cultivator's expression became serious.
He looked around and could already feel that the atmosphere around him was not normal at all.
A formless aura had appeared and occupied this place.
Clearly, someone had made a move, forcefully intervening in this area and affecting the surroundings without him noticing.
In the next moment, his expression changed.
In front of him, a young man had appeared out of nowhere and was just standing there, looking at him.
He did not know when the young man had appeared or when he had walked over. The entire process was incredibly silent, as if he did not have any aura at all.
If it wasn't for the fact that the demonic cultivator was completely focused, he might not have been able to discover this person.
Such a person was actually hiding here without a sound. This was really a frightening thing.
The foundation establishment stage demonic cultivator's expression changed. At this moment, he was extremely serious. "Who are you?"
He subconsciously asked, wanting to find out the origins of the person in front of him.
From the beginning until now, this person before him was filled with strangeness, and if he didn't ask carefully, it would cause him to feel uneasy.
However, no matter how the demonic cultivator asked, the young man in front of him remained silent. He just stood there quietly, looking at him.
In the next moment, under the watchful gaze of the Demonic Cultivator, the young man raised his head and slowly extended a hand.
An arm stretched out and reached forward.
"You …"
The magic cultivator wanted to say something, but he suddenly froze.
In front of his chest, a huge bloody hole suddenly appeared. He didn't know when it had opened.
Fresh blood dripped down from the wound, slowly dripping onto the ground.
The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator widened his eyes in disbelief as he stared in front of him. He had not expected that he would die here.
In the next moment, he collapsed powerlessly on the ground.
Everyone was sent into an uproar.
Next to Zhang Chong, the Nine Peaks City Lord's expression was quite strange. After falling silent for a while, he turned and looked at Zhang Chong, "If I remember correctly …
This person seems to be … elder Zhang's clansman, right? "
He asked softly as he looked at Zhang Chong, "You really hid it well …"
Everyone else silently turned and looked at Zhang Chong, but they all had deep gazes, as if they were secretly discussing something.
To be able to kill a Foundation Building demonic cultivator with a single strike, this person's cultivation was at least at the peak of Foundation Building.
The Zhang family's clan leader evidently had at least peak Foundation Building strength.
Despite possessing such strength, the Zhang Family had never revealed their strength. It was obvious that they had hidden their strength very deeply.
Looking at Zhang Chong, everyone's gazes were quite strange, and they did not know what to say.
Facing everyone's gazes, Zhang Chong's expression was quite strange.
At that moment, he wanted to swear to the heavens that he was the same as them and did not know anything.
However, he knew that no one would believe him if he said that now.
Therefore, he just sat there with a bitter smile on his face and didn't say anything.
"Just an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator?"
Seeing that the demonic cultivator had been killed in a single strike, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Demonic cultivators were quite powerful, and he had thought that he would have to go through a big battle.
He had never thought that everything would end with just a single strike.
He was much weaker than he had expected.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and did not say anything.
However, on the demonic cultivator's corpse, a golden light flashed as he died.
Imperceptibly, waves of will flowed. It was as if there was a boundless and terrifying power flowing within it, causing people to tremble in fear.
A formless energy was emitted from it and spread to the outside world.
Everyone's expression changed when they felt this power.
"Crap!"
Everyone's expressions changed, including Zhang Chong and the Nine Peaks City Lord; they all recognized what this thing was.
A divine sense item!
Everyone's expressions fell as they recognized what this thing was.
A divine sense item was the general name for a certain type of magic tool. Its effects were quite simple and crude: it could allow a person to split their divine sense and send it into it.
Wielding this magic tool could temporarily activate the soul of the cultivator contained within it, temporarily activating the magic power within it and unleashing a powerful force.
That demonic cultivator was already at the Foundation Building stage.
If even he had to carry it in such a manner, just how powerful would the Divine Sense Artifact that he carried with him be?
Almost instantly, the same thought flashed through everyone's mind.
Zhang Chong's expression fell and he opened his mouth, wanting Chen Heng to quickly leave.
However, it was too late.
A ray of golden light burst forth.
The aura of pure magical power was activated. At this moment, it surged out and rushed outwards.
That power was exceptionally terrifying, causing one's heart to palpitate and subconsciously feel uneasy.
It was as if a peerless divine weapon was about to descend. The pressure was incredibly intense, and it was much more powerful than that of the demonic cultivator from before.
"Clan brother!"
In the distance, Zhang Ya looked at this scene with a look of terror on her face.
Within the nothingness, a blood-red heavenly saber descended as if a god had swung down his weapon and rushed forwards.
A peerless might exploded out as divine power surged out, and a deathly aura spread out.
In the next moment, a white arm descended. It was just an ordinary action, but it instantly calmed down the surroundings, causing the surroundings to become calm again.
In front of Chen Heng, the blood-colored heavenly saber slowly shattered, and the terrifying power it contained spread out in all directions.
This powerful attack, which could rival a Foundation Building attack, had been blocked by Chen Heng just like that.
The entire process had been too easy, causing Zhang Chong and the others to feel dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.
In the distance, Chen Heng stood there by himself. His expression was incredibly calm, and he did not seem to have changed.
That peerless attack just then seemed to be nothing to him.
"This …"
The Nine Peaks City Lord looked at Chen Heng before turning to look at Zhang Chong, his gaze becoming cautious, "Chief Zhang … just what cultivation does this person from your Zhang clan have?"
He looked at Zhang Chong and asked cautiously.
Hearing his words, the rest of the people around him also turned around and looked at Zhang Chong.
However, it was different from before. At this moment, all of their gazes were filled with fear and bewilderment, as if it was their first time meeting Zhang Chong. Their gazes were very strange.
Evidently, they had misunderstood.
"I …"
Facing everyone's gazes, Zhang Chong opened his mouth but could only bitterly smile.
What could he say?
Could he say that he did not know about this at all?
Putting aside whether others would believe him or not, he was too embarrassed to say such a thing.
As the patriarch of the Zhang Clan, how could he not know about a powerful cultivator from his own clan? Was this even possible?
Let alone others, even Zhang Chong himself would not believe it.
However, this was the truth.
Zhang Chong had no idea about Chen Heng's situation at all.
After all, a cultivator's cultivation was a secret.
When Chen Heng had returned from the Flowing Cloud Sect, Zhang Chong had not asked about his cultivation, and he had thought that it was the same as before.
He had never thought that it would be like this.
Thinking to there, looking at Chen Heng, Zhang Chong felt both complicated and joyful.
No matter what, Chen Heng was a member of the Zhang clan.
For Chen Heng to be so powerful, it meant that the Zhang clan was powerful as well.
From the strength that Chen Heng had displayed, he was at least at Foundation Building.
Thinking to there, Zhang Chong turned and looked at the Nine Peaks City Lord.
After so many years, it was about time someone else took over the position of City Lord.
As he thought to himself, he gave a slight smile.
"That feeling just then …"
Not too far away, standing in front of the demonic cultivator's corpse, Chen Heng thought back to that feeling and sank into his thoughts.
The feeling of that blow was still lingering in his body.
Different from what Zhang Chong and the others had imagined, the attack just now was definitely not just at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. The essence of the attack far surpassed it and was even above it.
If it wasn't for the fact that Chen Heng's essence was also extraordinary, he might not have been able to withstand that attack.
At the very least, if it was a true Foundation Building cultivator, they would not be able to stand here and would most likely have fallen to the ground.
In the distance.
In front of an altar, a young man sat cross-legged. He wore black robes and looked incredibly mysterious and gloomy.
He sat there by himself, giving off faint demonic qi. It was unknown just how long he had been sitting there.
When the magic tool in the distance had been destroyed by Chen Heng, he had a slight reaction. His eyes slightly trembled before he slowly opened them and looked in front of him.
In front of him, waves of light entered his eyes.
"What is it?"
In the distance, the servant came up and looked at the young man with a respectful expression.
"It's nothing."
The young man shook his head and looked in a certain direction, a look of surprise on his face, "A mark I left behind has been destroyed."
"What?"
The servant was quite shocked, "With Lord's strength, who could do such a thing …"
"I don't know."
The young man shook his head, "The five sects of Yue have been trapped, and there shouldn't be any powerful cultivators left in Yue.
Who would have thought that there would still be some fish that escaped the net.
"Send down my orders."
He thought for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Tell the disciples to be careful. There is no need to go to Nine Peaks City.
To be able to destroy my mark, one has to at least have Foundation Building cultivation.
Even if the ordinary disciples go, they won't be able to do much. "
"Yes."
The servants in front of him nodded respectfully. They didn't say anything and quickly left the place.
Only the young man was left.
After everyone else left, the young man did not do much and just sat there cross-legged with his eyes closed.
.....
Time gradually passed.
More than two months passed by quickly.
During these two months, Nine Peaks City had gone through great changes.
The most obvious change was that Nine Peaks City's City Lord had become someone else.
Chen Heng directly took that person's position and became the new City Lord of the Nine Peaks City.
Within Nine Peaks City, because of the demonic item invasion, many people had been killed, and many of their businesses had been taken over.
The Zhang family that Chen Heng's body came from had been devouring other families' businesses and businesses, using this to become stronger.
Under the demonic cultivators' invasion, many of the original cultivators had been killed, and some of the ownerless businesses had been devoured by the Zhang family.
Some of the enemies of the Zhang Clan who had enmity with the Zhang Clan were also ruthlessly slaughtered by Zhang Chong.
In the end, the Zhang family was the most powerful family in Nine Peaks City.
Of course, this was not much.
Even though Nine Peaks City was not small, it was quite remote, and it was not a big deal to many people.
No matter how the situation inside changed, it would not affect the outside world.
However, ever since that day, the demonic cultivators that had been rampaging outside Nine Peaks City had all retreated. It seemed that they had retreated to other places.
It seemed that after that day, the people behind the demonic cultivators knew that this place was not to be trifled with, so they quickly retreated.
After the demonic cultivators left, they left behind a wasteland for Chen Heng and the others.
Chen Heng was not surprised by this, and he only sent people to take over.
Time gradually passed.
The situation was still changing.
