Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 364: Chapter 257: I am a Demon Cultivator (Third Update)

When the afternoon arrived, Zou Minzun and Zhao Lianshan’s group, who were hurrying back to the Heavenly Soul Sect, suddenly heard shouts of killing.

Then they saw a troop of Righteous Cultivators charging and attacking, loudly shouting as they fought.

“Kill these Demon Cultivators from Ghost Ridge Palace.”

“To think they’d dare to barge into our territory and act recklessly, our Elder is here now, let’s see how you’ll escape.”

“Quick, chase them, they’re running towards the southwest, don’t let them get away.”

This group of Righteous individuals numbered over a hundred, with eight or nine Elders leading them, their faces filled with rage as they pursued their prey.

Zou Minzun and the others were completely dumbfounded. They had originally been extremely cautious to avoid the patrols of the Righteous Sects, and with the eerie ability of the fierce ghosts, their movements were still very smooth. Who would have thought that these Righteous Cultivators would create such a mess, charging over as if their lair had been poked.

Now their secret operation was ruined, as both parties had caught sight of each other from a distance.

“Is it these people?”

An Elder leading the Righteous Cultivators inquired of a disheveled Disciple beside him. These Elders had rushed over in response to a distress signal, and had not actually seen what the enemies looked like.

“It’s them, shrouded in ghostly energy. The Demon Cultivators who attacked us also mockingly used fierce ghosts. There’s absolutely no mistake.”

The Disciple didn’t hesitate to say, leaving the members of the Heavenly Soul Sect across from him with a question mark over their heads.

They were just walking along here, who the hell attacked you?

“Wait, it’s a misunderstanding…”

Zhao Lianshan still wanted to explain, but how would Righteous Cultivators listen to the words of Demon Cultivators?

“What’s there to quibble about? Fellow comrades, Disciples, follow me to vanquish the demons.”

The leading Elder of the Righteous side took out the Xuanmu Ancient Bronze Tripod and, without another word, used it to attack.

The other Elders and Disciples followed in the charge, believing that the opposing side was definitely made up of Demon Cultivators, so there was no mistake in their attack.

“Meet the enemy, and look for an opportunity to scatter and run later on.”

Zhao Lianshan’s expression turned solemn as he ordered those around him. Seeing the ferocity of the incoming enemies, he was already thinking of escaping.

When the two sides clashed, it was like water and fire meeting, instantly escalating the battle to a fever pitch. One side used various mysterious Taoist Skills and Magic Artifacts, while the other wielded fierce ghosts and Yin Souls, fighting in an extremely brutal manner.

………..

Twenty kilometers away from the battlefield, Su Jie and Ning Xinyue were hiding in a cave concealed by a Formation. Seeing this scene, Ning Xinyue couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t they fighting a bit too fiercely? The Righteous side has so many people. What if they are all killed? Wouldn’t that affect the alliance meeting?”

“Who told you to recklessly collect Magic Artifacts in others’ territories? The Vajra Bracelet you sent flying around, geez, it was like you were shopping, taking away the fellow Cultivators’ livelihood tools. How could they not react fiercely?”

Su Jie knocked Ning Xinyue’s head, speaking irritably.

Ning Xinyue, holding her head, rolled her eyes at Su Jie, very dissatisfied, “You’re one to talk, you were the one who let the Ghost Bride release Papermen, you’re no better than me.”

The two chatted idly, and in less than twenty minutes, the Heavenly Soul Sect’s outnumbered group had already been overwhelmed.

When disaster struck, they scattered in all directions. The members of the Heavenly Soul Sect fled separately.

There is a saying that when facing a tiger, you don’t need to run faster than the tiger, just faster than your friends.

Zou Minzun was lucky, he flew faster than his comrades. As long as those lagging behind could stop the Righteous Cultivators, he saw it as his chance to escape.

And fortunately for Zou Minzun, he was quite confident in his speed and swiftly moved away from the tense battlefield.

This escape lasted until nightfall.

He had actually shaken off the pursuers long ago, but he didn’t dare to stop for too long. He ran into a desolate mountain range and finally came to a halt.

“Phew, finally shook off those Righteous Cultivators.”

Zou Minzun tidied his clothes, ready to find a hidden place to hide for a while.

But just then, Zou Minzun instinctively became alert, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something in the sky approaching, accompanied by a voice.

“Hahahaha, I have noticed the fateful tie with you, my friend, please stop for a chat, a gift awaits as you turn around.”

The approaching figure was a person, who from afar laughed heartily. As Zou Minzun was in doubt, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he swiftly turned his head aside.

Whoosh!

A white light streaked past his neck, tearing open half of his neck, exposing his throat, blood vessels, and muscles to the air. Had he reacted any slower just then, his head would have been severed.

“You actually dodged that.”

Su Jie caught the white light, which was the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, refined into a top grade Magic Artifact.

Su Jie had intended to launch a sneak attack, but Zou Minzun had been alert. His laughter was meant to lower the hostility, then he invited the treasure to spin around, which Zou Minzun narrowly avoided.

“It’s you.”

Zou Minzun looked up to see a young man descending upon an Insect Cloud from the sky.

With just one look, Zou Minzun recognized Su Jie.

“Surprised, aren’t you? Did you think that after I became the ruler of Secret Realm 2, I would come looking for you?”

Su Jie sat with a faint smile on his face, sitting atop a giant throne formed by the Insect Cloud, with the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword in his hand, he looked down at Zou Minzun from his elevated position.

“I was thinking that today I would finally be able to take back my Ghost Bride.”

Zou Minzun, with a malicious tone, violently threw out a black sphere, “Soul Capturing Ball, explode!”

The Soul Capturing Ball was a one-time use Magic Artifact, which had the mighty ability to capture souls and steal spirits. Even those in the Secret Realm wouldn’t dare to touch it lightly.

Boom!

The Soul Capturing Ball burst open, but it only emitted a puff of white smoke, and nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Zou Minzun had already flown away from the battle, fleeing from Su Jie’s side. He had only thrown a fake Soul Capturing Ball to scare Su Jie, his real intention was to escape.

“Pretty clever, but not by much. I’ve never been afraid of anyone when it comes to speed.”

Under Su Jie’s feet, swarms of insects dispersed with a rumble, his hair lighting up with purple arcs of electricity.

With his Primordial Spirit’s power also being utilized, Su Jie swiftly caught up to Zou Minzun without much effort.

This time, without even getting close, Su Jie had already let fly the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword again, with continuous bolts of Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder raining down from the sky.

Crack!

Zou Minzun, who was dodging the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, was unable to avoid the Heavenly Thunder. Half of his body was blackened and scorched by a strike. Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit was extremely powerful and even made the might of the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder increase dramatically. Zou Minzun, a guy on the Second Level of the Secret Realm, couldn’t withstand it at all.

“Not a bad place! A treasured land of Feng Shui, using it as your burial ground is letting you off cheap.”

Su Jie moved through the void with leisurely steps, approaching Zou Minzun step by step, further shaking the opponent’s spirit.

“Do you really think you can finish me off?”

Zou Minzun, seeing no way to dodge, revealed a sinister expression. He didn’t waste any more words with Su Jie, his left hand taking out the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and his right hand summoning the Nine Sons Ghost Mother.

However, compared to the last time they clashed, Zou Minzun’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which was once filled with a hundred thousand Yin Souls, now only had a sparse twenty to thirty thousand.

And around the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, there were only five Ghost Infants left, with the other four gone without a trace.

It was evident that Zou Minzun had suffered a terrible beating in the process of clashing with those from the Righteous sect previously, which is why he ran upon seeing Su Jie – because at this point, his strength was greatly diminished.

“Tsk tsk, so this is all that’s left of your assets? A crippled Sixth-grade Fierce Ghost, a Ten Thousand Soul Banner that has dropped to only two or three thousand souls, and your Top Grade Magic Tool Soul Fragment Sword, which you threw over there on the battlefield. What do you have to fight me with?”

Su Jie’s eyes glinted with a fierce chill, like daggers, stabbing into Zou Minzun’s heart, making his face look extremely ugly.

“Let me go if you have the guts, and wait until I’m fully restored to give you a fair fight.”

Zou Minzun knew that Su Jie was not easy to mess with. He had heard about Su Jie’s advancement through the ranks with the Immortal Seed’s potential. Even at his peak, he didn’t have absolute confidence in winning against Su Jie, let alone now in his weakened state.

“Talking about fairness? Do you think I’m a fool? I’m a Demon Cultivator; I prey on the likes of you, the weak and sickly.”

Su Jie had no concern for martial ethics. On his left side appeared the shadow of the Ghost Bride, and on his right, the Thousand-Handed Centipede transformed into a dozen meters long, ferocious poisonous insect.

“Wife, Xiao Qian, no need for courtesy,”

As Su Jie waved his hand grandly, Su Jie’s left and right protectors sprang into action together.

The thousand-hand centipede roared, its massive body rearing up, its facial armor splitting open, as hundreds of Purple Light Rays burst forth.

Zou Minzun, manipulating the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, resisted the thousand-hand centipede, as beams of Purple Light Ray instantly annihilated a large number of Yin Souls.

In the past, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner could form the Demon Cave Mountain Formation and block the thousand-hand centipede, even suppress it, but this time the tables had turned.

Faced with these Yin Souls that couldn’t form the Demon Cave Formation, the thousand-hand centipede acted extremely arrogantly, directly charging into the crowd of Yin Souls.

Beams of high-temperature rays exploded everywhere, its mouth spewing Death Decline Curse Clouds, killing Yin Souls which continuously turned into black smoke and dissipated, charging straight at Zou Minzun.

At the same time, the Ghost Bride gently lifted her hand, looking at her enemy Zou Minzun, as terrifying curse power spread, causing Zou Minzun’s complexion to change drastically.

His body became stiff, his clothing transforming toward a wedding dress as he hastily had the Nine Sons Ghost Mother block in front of him.

Yet the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, when fighting alone, was no match for the fifth-grade wedding dress ghost, let alone now that the Ghost Bride had advanced to the sixth grade.

Just as the ghost infants began to move, intending to pounce on Su Jie and the Ghost Bride, a terrifying scene occurred.

Lantern after lantern descended like red twilight from the sky, swaying gently, the Ghost Mother’s head and body began to stretch and twist violently, pulled by an invisible force.

The five ghost infants trying to return were blocked by Mirror Girls appearing on the scene, fair arms cradling the ghost infants, each layer piling upon the other, with thousands of Mirror Girls compressing, utterly submerging the figures of the ghost infants.

“Do you…know the meaning of death?”

Han Ruyan had appeared in front of the Ghost Mother at some point, her jade hand gently caressing the Ghost Mother’s cheek.

Above her head, a Black Moon quietly rose, her bloody pupils blooming.

The Ghost Mother’s body began to be severed from her feet upward, with tens of thousands of fine blades interweaving and cutting, spreading upwards incessantly.

Shins, thighs, hips, waist, chest.

The Ghost Mother tried to struggle, but against the power of the Ghost Bride, her struggles seemed utterly futile; perhaps sensing the fear known as annihilation, she opened her mouth wide, calling for her children.

It was a pity that her ghost infants were already suppressed by the combined effort of the Mirror Girl and the Lantern Ghost, and she could hardly save herself.

In the end, the Ghost Mother could only watch helplessly as she was sliced into pieces by the Ghost Bride’s hand, with even her brain being cut into dregs, leading to her complete death.

Han Ruyan’s face revealed a trace of dead, icy cold smile, remembering how the Ghost Mother had once pursued her in East Victory City, and now, she had completed her revenge.

Elsewhere, Zou Minzun could not afford to worry about the death of the Nine Sons Ghost Mother as he was nearing the same fate as her.

It was during Zou Minzun’s retreat that the long-hidden Ning Xinyue leapt down from a tree, her left hand Vajra Beak striking Zou Minzun’s head, smashing his brain to pieces, while her right hand unleashed rolling cold waves, aimed to freeze him in ice.
