Chapter 892: Chapter 892: The Great Demon Returns
It seemed as if the entire world was reversing, with the only exception being the divinely radiant Ji Liuying, who held a tortoise shell, moving forward in mid-air, step by step approaching Ji Fenglie.
Ji Fenglie wanted to roar, wanted to shout, wanted to control his body to fight with Ji Liuying.
But he couldn’t do any of that because his body was now performing actions in reverse, unable to interrupt, completely beyond his control.
It was only at this moment that Ji Fenglie realized one thing: if Ji Changsheng truly intended to kill him, he would be powerless to resist.
Years ago, Ji Changsheng did not strike because he remembered familial affection.
He once thought that with his own strength, he could resist Ji Changsheng’s Reverse Universe, but now he couldn’t even resist a Reverse Universe performed by a junior.
He watched as Ji Liuying walked up to him, her finger pointing at his forehead.
The jade glow from that finger emanated an intimidating aura, and Ji Fenglie had no doubt that this finger could pierce through his skull.
The crux of the matter was, he had no ability to resist and could only watch wide-eyed as that finger approached him, while he continued to perform those ridiculous reverse actions.
"I, Ji Fenglie, a hero all my life, must I truly die like this?" Even at the brink of life and death, Ji Fenglie did not think anything he had done was wrong. In his view, he was a hero who righted wrongs and avenged grievances, not a wicked person condemned by the world.
Just when Ji Fenglie thought he was doomed, he suddenly sensed a force brushing past his face.
A finger clad in armor scraped past his face, meeting Ji Liuying’s finger.
Ji Fenglie did not know who this person was, but he did not believe that this person could defeat Ji Liuying.
Even if Feng Wuci or Qi Tianxin came personally to save him, they could not withstand this finger from Ji Liuying, let alone the fact that they would never come to rescue him.
Ji Liuying’s finger was an Innate Primal Finger that only Ji Changsheng could wield. Its power was connected to the heavens, blessed by destiny, beyond human strength to contend with.
Unless another Celestial King personally intervened, ordinary powers could not withstand this Innate Primal Finger.
Ji Jiuying and the Ji Family members, as well as all the other family’s strongmen watching from Evil God Mountain, thought the same.
But at the moment when the two fingers collided, Ji Liuying’s finger was unexpectedly blocked, unable to advance further, and the other person’s finger wasn’t shattered, standing against Ji Liuying’s fingertip, creating an impression of being evenly matched.
But the expressions of the ancient spectators changed, and someone couldn’t help but exclaim in shock: "Spring and Autumn Finger... the Great Demon isn’t dead..."
The very name of the Great Demon instantly awakened the fear in many people’s hearts.
Back then, the Great Demon swept across the world, stormed the Ancestral Court, forced the Chief Judge to abandon the court and flee, such was his intimidating might.
It’s true that the Ten Great Families and Celestial Kings did not initially join the fight, allowing the Great Demon to act so recklessly.
But even after the Ten Great Families joined the battle later, the Great Demon still left a significant psychological shadow on them.
Especially the Great Demon’s Composite Skill, which was unforgettable to those who had witnessed it, truly unique.
Upon seeing the Spring and Autumn Finger, those who had witnessed the Great Demon’s actions were immediately pulled back into memories of terror, recognizing it in an instant.
They widened their eyes, staring earnestly at that figure, wanting to confirm if it was the person from their memory.
But that person’s body was completely shrouded in armor, making it impossible to discern their face, yet the terrifying aura surrounding them inevitably reminded people of the Great Demon.
Ji Liuying furrowed her brow, her fingertip exerting further force, with the Power of Heaven and Earth converging at her fingertip, doubling its might.
Boom!
Ji Liuying’s jade finger, as unstoppable as breaking bamboo, directly shattered the body of the person suspected to be the Great Demon, turning it into a mist of blood scattered throughout the sky.
However, when the blood mist dispersed, the figures of that person and Ji Fenglie were nowhere to be seen.
"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique... there’s no doubt... that person must be the Great Demon Qing Bai..." Ji Jiuying was utterly shocked.
If the Great Demon were not dead, he could indeed be called the number one person beneath the Celestial King, capable even of contending with a Celestial King.
Just from his simple techniques just now, he could move freely under Ji Liuying’s Reverse Universe and casually withstand the Innate Primal Finger, effortlessly taking someone away — how many in the world could achieve that?
Ji Jiuying didn’t know why the Great Demon would save Ji Fenglie; could it be that he had already allied with Ji Fenglie?
If that were the case, the Ji Family would be in danger.
The Ji Family had just seen hope with the emergence of Ji Liuying, but if they provoked a formidable enemy like the Great Demon, combined with Ji Fenglie, their future wouldn’t be easy.
They were all ruthless and unprincipled figures.
The various families were frantically scanning the heavens, hoping to find the person who fled.
They weren’t interested in Ji Fenglie’s life or death; they just wanted to know if that person was indeed the Great Demon.
But since he could use the Spring and Autumn Finger and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, even if he wasn’t the Great Demon, he was certainly the Great Demon’s descendant or successor.
If it were the legendary Demon Child, then it would be even worse.
But after using all sorts of Divine Powers to scan the heavens, they still couldn’t find a trace of that person.
If the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique were so easily traceable, Chen Xinghe wouldn’t be alive today.
The numerous strongmen of the Ji Family stood awkwardly in the city, unsure whether to look at the ground or at Ji Liuying, who hovered in the air like a deity.
Ji Liuying’s gaze was calm as she stood in the air, looking at them and saying indifferently, "Since you wish to leave the Ji Family, then leave."
The faces of the Ji Family elders fluctuated, but Ji Jiuying seized the opportunity to kneel on one knee: "Celestial King... from now on, you are our Ji Family’s Celestial King... our celestial being... we shall follow you to the death..."
"We vow to pursue the Celestial King to the death..." The elders followed, kneeling on one knee to express their loyalty.
"I am just Ji Liuying, not King Ji. I only need one Ji Family, not so many Ji Families. Those who remained before can stay, but those who have already left should also leave now..." Ji Liuying finished speaking, ignoring them as she set her eyes toward the direction of Evil God Mountain, continuing, "From today, the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven will be closed for three months, temporarily not open to the public. Everyone, please return."
Upon Ji Liuying’s words, the representatives of each family present said nothing more, gathering their belongings to leave the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven.
Those Ji Family elders and high-ranking family members who wished to stay wanted to say something more, but found themselves unable to speak, realizing in their hearts that Ji Liuying would not tolerate them.
Knowing they couldn’t stay, they took their lineages and left the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven, filled with uneasy speculations about the future.
Having turned their backs on the Ji Family, it was a dire situation if the Ji Family were to produce another Celestial King.
Ji Liuying’s battle had sealed her divinity, and rumors outside spoke of her abilities in awe-inspiring terms, with most people believing she had reached the level of a Celestial King.
However, the other families did not focus too much on this matter, placing more attention on the person who rescued Ji Fenglie.
They feared that person was the Great Demon, even more so if that person was the legendary Demon Child.
