195: Sorry! I'm also an insider! [Explosive update, please reward•́ ₃ •̀

Even Hua Zangkong, who was pouncing down from the air and had already activated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, felt his blood-red pupils suddenly contract, and an extremely ominous premonition rose in his heart.

But the arrow had left the string, the saber had left its sheath, there was no turning back!

"Die!"

Hua Zangkong roared, suppressing all distracting thoughts and fear. His blood-red curved saber tore through the air with a piercing shriek, its momentum three times stronger, vowing to cleave Lu Jiuyuan in half!

It was at this moment that Lu Jiuyuan moved.

He held the violently swirling poison ball, which emitted a terrifying energy, in his left hand. His right hand held the Guhong Sword, pointing diagonally at the ground. Facing Hua Zangkong's earth-shattering saber strike, he performed an extremely simple action.

He sidestepped, advanced, and thrust his long sword from bottom to top!

There was no dazzling light, no overwhelming Aura.

There was only a three-colored sword light, condensed to the extreme and faster than thought!

It struck later, but arrived first!

Clang—!

An extremely crisp sound, like the clashing of gold and jade, made everyone's eardrums ache!

The tip of the sword precisely struck the blood-red curved saber.

Hua Zangkong felt an indescribable, bizarre force, combining icy stillness with scorching explosiveness, instantly penetrate his arm along the curved saber, wildly surging through his entire body!

The Internal Skill of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, which he had unleashed, was torn apart and penetrated layer by layer by this incredibly condensed ice and fire spiral force!

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill? You're also using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, and you're even more proficient than me?"

"Pfft!"

Hua Zangkong's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His pouncing figure flew back at an even faster speed, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

He couldn't understand how the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, a desperate technique, could be practiced to the point of effortless mastery. It was simply illogical.

In his hands, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, unleashed by burning his life, seemed to have been used thousands of times, and he understood all its workings with unparalleled clarity.

With a casual flick, he shattered his most powerful strike, which he had exchanged for his life.

However, Lu Jiuyuan's attack did not stop.

While sending Hua Zangkong flying with one sword strike, he suddenly pushed his left hand forward!

The bizarre poison ball, which had absorbed the sky full of poisonous mist and was compressed to the extreme, let out a low whistle as if it had a life of its own, and shot out abruptly!

Its target was Hua Zangkong, who had just stabilized his body, whose blood and Qi were surging, and who was suffering from the backlash of his Demonic Technique!

Hua Zangkong was terrified. He tried to dodge, but found that the poison ball was incredibly fast, and its Qi locked onto him, making it impossible to avoid!

He could only roar, pouring all his remaining Demonic Technique into his arms, crossing them in front of him to take the blow head-on!

Boom!!!

The moment the poison ball hit Hua Zangkong's arms, it exploded violently! It split into ten, but its speed remained unchanged.

There was no deafening roar, only a dull 'thud' sound, like rotten flesh and mud being smashed open!

The strangely colored poisonous mist instantly blasted more than a dozen holes in Hua Zangkong's chest!

"Ah~!"

A shrill, inhuman scream erupted from the poisonous mist!

Hua Zangkong's dark demonic patterned robe visibly rotted and dissolved!

The exposed skin on his chest instantly turned black, blistered, and liquefied, revealing his stark white bones!

The backlash of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill combined with the erosion of this terrifying venom made the number one figure of the Demonic Path seem like he had been thrown into a purgatorial oil cauldron, rolling and wailing frantically on the ground, the scene too horrific to behold!

All of this, though it takes long to describe, happened in a flash of lightning.

From Lu Jiuyuan devouring the poisonous mist, shattering the saber with one sword, to the poison ball severely injuring Hua Zangkong, it was but a blink of an eye!

The remaining Sect Heads and Elders of the Seven Sects, as well as the experts of the Demonic Cult, had just recovered from the shock of Hua Zangkong being sent flying by a single sword, when they saw their Cult Master poisoned and fallen to the ground, wailing incessantly.

Everyone's gaze was fixed stiffly on the swirling poisonous mist that was constantly corroding the ground, and the rapidly dissolving human figure vaguely visible within it.

The Demonic Cult Master, Hua Zangkong, who had dominated the world for decades and terrified Outside the Pass, had met such a tragic end in just a single exchange!

Shock, fear, disbelief... all sorts of emotions like poisonous vines entwined around the hearts of everyone present.

However, the battle did not stop with the defeat of the Demonic Cult Master. The collapse of the shield instead suddenly escalated the battle to another, more brutal level!

"Evil Demon, die!"

"Eliminate evil for the Martial Forest!"

Almost at the same moment Hua Zangkong fell to the ground wailing, the remaining seven righteous Sect Heads and thirteen Elders on the stage erupted in roars mixed with fear and a willingness to perish together!

The strength Lu Jiuyuan displayed was too terrifying. His methods of gathering poisonous Qi, True Qi leaving his body, and killing from a distance of several feet were even more mysterious and unpredictable.

They deeply realized that if they did not join forces to kill him here today, there would be no tomorrow!

In an instant, sword light, palm winds, fist shadows, hidden weapons... a total of eighteen ultimate attacks, each containing decades of their hard-earned Internal Skill, their trump cards.

From different angles, carrying a desperate will, they stormed towards Lu Jiuyuan, who had just launched the poison ball, like a torrential downpour!

It was also at this time that Wu Buming of the Mount Hua Sect, who had moved to the side of Second Master Tang and was fully alert, preparing to jointly resist the demon, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes.

His target was not Lu Jiuyuan, who was fighting in the center of the arena.

Instead, it was Second Master Tang, the top expert of the Tang Clan of Shu, who was not far from him, fully focused on holding the Thunderclap Pellet and looking for an opportunity to severely injure Lu Jiuyuan with thunder and fire!

"Brother Tang, watch your back!"

Wu Buming let out an extremely anxious cry, and at the same time, he suddenly lunged forward, seemingly to block a non-existent sneak attack from the side-rear for Second Master Tang.

Second Master Tang was pouring his life's Internal Skill into his arms. Hearing Wu Buming's alarmed cry, his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to turn sideways in his direction to be on guard.

But just as his old strength was expended and new strength had yet to be generated, and his mind was momentarily distracted, in this lightning-fast moment of vulnerability!

Wu Buming's figure, which seemed to be rushing to his rescue, suddenly accelerated, and the anxiety and panic on his face instantly turned into killing intent!

His precious sword stabbed out!

Pfft!

This sword strike was extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless, and it seized the moment when Second Master Tang's mind was distracted and he was completely unprepared!

"You...!"

Second Master Tang felt a sudden chill in his lower back at the 'Gate of Life' acupoint, and the tip of the sword had already emerged from his abdomen.

Intense pain and extreme disbelief simultaneously swept through Second Master Tang's mind.

He suddenly twisted his head, his withered face contorted into an expression of extreme horror, staring fixedly at Wu Buming's ferocious face, which was close at hand.

"Wh-why...?"

Blood gushed from the wound like a spring.

"Because... I am also an inside agent! Only those who know the times are heroes. The general trend cannot be defied. Mount Hua will rise again in my hands!"

A fanatical and twisted smile flashed across Wu Buming's face, his voice pressed extremely low, only audible to Second Master Tang.
