Chapter 692: Chapter 283: The Situation Is Urgent! (Part 2)
"Sect Leader, how did it come to this?"
Jiang Shi frowned deeply.
No matter what, the Celestial Demon Sect Leader was a master in the Nirvana Realm.
This shouldn’t have happened!
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader sighed gently and said, "They attacked my Celestial Demon Headquarters, surrounded me but did not kill. At first, just one would fight me alone, but when they realized they couldn’t defeat me, they would team up in threes and fives to besiege me. Each time they defeated me, they would leave, only to return with a new group to fight me again and again. I found this endless cycle unbearable and was greatly exhausted..."
He was quite helpless, gently shaking his head, "That group deliberately used me for practice!"
"Deliberately for practice?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed, a cold light appearing, "Is it the All Stars Tower?"
"No, I’ve heard of All Stars Tower, but it’s definitely not them."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said in a low voice, "It should be related to the Winged Demon Race that attacked me last time!"
"The Winged Demon Race?"
Jiang Shi inquired.
"Yes, I can sense that among the alien races, several large organizations have emerged. The All Stars Tower should be one of them, and the master from the Winged Demon Race might belong to another organization."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader replied gravely.
"Oh? So the alien races are not absolutely united?"
"Naturally so."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader nodded heavily and said, "In our eyes, they are alien races, but in theirs, the divisions are more detailed. The Winged Demon Race is the Winged Demon Race, and the Sea Demon Race is the Sea Demon Race. The grievances among them are distinct and strictly demarcated. Thus, they are not a monolithic block. In fact, many races are ancient foes with enmities deeper than those with us humans."
"I see."
Jiang Shi nodded and asked, "Then has the Sect Leader found out which organization that group belongs to?"
"I don’t know. What I do know is that every time they act, they always leave a blood-red mark."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader sighed softly.
"Blood-red mark?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"Yes."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader looked desolate, and suddenly extended his large hand, ripping open his clothes swiftly, revealing bizarre blood-red marks densely covering his chest and back, six or seven in total.
All were etched by someone with profound power.
These marks resembled ancient runes, unlike human characters.
"Ancient God Script."
Daoist Master Xuan, standing to the side, squinted, suddenly focusing on the Celestial Demon Sect Leader and said, "This is one of the extremely ancient scripts, and the word left is ’Battle’!"
"Battle?"
Jiang Shi and the Celestial Demon Sect Leader raised their heads to look at Daoist Master Xuan.
"Yes, Battle, as in fighting!"
Daoist Master Xuan said solemnly.
Jiang Shi and the Celestial Demon Sect Leader immediately furrowed their brows more, further clarifying the purpose of the organization.
But soon, Jiang Shi’s expression turned cold, and he took a step forward, directly approaching the Celestial Demon Sect Leader. He reached out his palm, pressing it onto the Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s back, his entire strong power surged forth like a tide, sweeping towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s body to help remove these peculiar marks on his body.
As Jiang Shi’s power gushed forth, he clearly sensed an overwhelming, ancient and unyielding, frenzied, and bloodthirsty battle intent from these peculiar marks, as if a sea of corpses and blood appeared before him, and he could even hear chaotic cries from these bizarre marks.
Such a scene was truly unprecedented!
Jiang Shi shouted, his own power surging out with full force. Finally, the bizarre marks on the Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s body started to fade, like melting ice, evaporating with a sizzle...
For a long while.
Everything finally calmed down.
Jiang Shi retracted his hand, his expression calm again, and looked at the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.
The blood-red marks on the other’s body had all disappeared.
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader also exhaled a long breath...
"Jiang Shi, I have to thank you again."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said.
Jiang Shi gently shook his head, "Sect Leader, there’s no need to be polite."
He suddenly turned around and looked at the Grand Elder Cangwu of the Evil Dao Sect beside him.
Cangwu, having lost an arm, stood silently to the side as his two Dharma King companions lay lifeless nearby.
Suddenly, feeling someone’s gaze upon him, he looked up, saying with grief, "Sect Leader..."
"Elder Cangwu, the tragic deaths of Earth King and Fire King are my failing."
Jiang Shi replied softly, "However, I will seek justice for them. Here are some Blood God Pills for you!"
He took out a pill bottle, handed it to Cangwu, and without waiting for Cangwu to refuse, he turned grim-faced and walked away.
"Daoist Master Xuan, I need to enhance my strength quickly, I’m short of three Nirvana Pills, help me!"
He said gravely.
"Alright, I’ll try to refine them all in the shortest possible time."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
"Okay."
Jiang Shi nodded and left the place.
...
Time passed silently.
Seven days had gone by since Jiang Shi’s return.
Within these seven days, Daoist Master Xuan devoted himself completely and finally produced another Nirvana Pill, which Jiang Shi took as soon as it was ready.
Atop a towering peak.
Jiang Shi sat cross-legged in silence, with an aura surging around him, his entire body like a formless furnace, fiercely burning and rapidly refining the power of the Nirvana Pill.
On this day.
The night was clear with a few scattered stars, and a full moon hung high.
Pale light spilled from the high sky, like flowing water, shedding a bright glow.
