Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Chapter 24 Suppressing the Demon

Mountain gate.

The candlelight was dim, and Changqing, who had been on duty all day, looked tired.

He received visitors from various sects one after another, declining their kindness one by one, until his lips were parched, his throat was dry, and he was exhausted and hungry.

"Senior brother, I've delivered dinner to the senior members. You should rest too. Let me take over."

A concerned voice rang out, and Zhuge Yu walked over slowly. His eyes were clear and he looked quite well, a stark contrast to the haggard Chang Qing.

"Little Zhuge..."

Changqing smiled with relief. His whole body ached, and his eyes were bloodshot from overwork. He had barely rested since the Quanxing attacked the mountain until tonight.

"Okay...then the rest of the night is yours."

"Senior brother, you should go and rest." Zhuge Yu urged.

Just as the two were exchanging blows, the cold, dark forest rippled in the wind, and a melodious, eerie bell sound echoed through the surrounding void, spreading towards the mountain gate.

"Cover your ears!"

Changqing's expression suddenly changed. The malevolent energy mixed in the air, like a wandering ghost, howled and swirled around the heavens and earth.

"Another attack by the Quanxing demons?"

Zhuge Yu's eyes blazed with fury, and he roared, "Perfect timing! I'll go ask my uncle for permission to kill this beast!"

"Crash-!"

Strange footsteps echoed through the woods, and countless white figures appeared one after another. They were paper figures folded from paper, with bloodshot eyes, distorted features, and grotesque expressions. Numerous runes were carved into their limbs, making them seem as if they were alive.

Among the nearly one hundred paper figures, a figure dressed in blood like a blazing flame occupied the leading position.

She held the knife and climbed the stone steps. Wherever she went, the stone slabs collapsed and shattered into a spider web. The paper puppets behind her followed suit.

"Quanxing...Guying?!"

Chang Qing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the weariness in his body instantly faded away. He activated his cultivation technique, entered the second level of Reverse Rebirth, his hair turned white as frost, and prepared to intercept.

"Little Zhuge, quickly go and inform your martial uncle!"

He recognized the woman opposite him as Gu Ying, the twin sister of Gu Yu, one of the Six Evils of Quanxing. She was skilled in origami and had mastered martial arts, making her incredibly powerful.

“I’ll hold her here.”

When he said those words, Changqing felt immense pressure. Even with his profound internal energy protecting him, he still felt a chill run down his spine in the face of that chilling killing intent.

Zhuge Yu obeyed the order and turned around, only to see Jiang Mo leading Lu Jin towards him.

He hurriedly asked for instructions: "Uncle-Master! A demon has attacked the mountain. Please take swift action to suppress and kill this fiend."

"Ah."

Jiang Mo arrived at the mountain gate and stood shoulder to shoulder with the three of them.

He looked down over the thousand-plus steps, where the paper puppets, controlled by the swaying, rapid bell sounds, became frenzied, resembling a runaway horde of beasts, rampaging and crashing about.

"Little Lu, Little Zhuge, Changqing."

Jiang Mo called out softly.

"Disciple is here!" the three said in unison.

Gazing at the blood-red shadow a hundred meters away, Jiang Mo, undaunted by the threat of the paper puppet, walked down the steps, his back to them.

"Would you like to see the demon captured alive, or killed on the spot?"

Before the other two could reply, Zhuge Yu, remembering his junior brother who had died in battle the previous night, clenched his fists, his face filled with anger:

"Uncle-Master, Sanyi and Quanxing are sworn enemies. It's better to kill them to avoid causing more trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin and Chang Qing had no objections.

"Kill him."

On the steps, Jiang Mo stretched his muscles and bones, and his body was filled with cloud-like white energy. In just an instant, his hair turned white, his skin became icy and his bones were strong, and his whole person exuded a power like the sun descending to earth.

"Roar--!"

The paper puppets raised their heads and roared, and the eerie sound of bells in the air, like a dark and invisible hand, frantically stirred Jiang Mo's five senses and his seven emotions and six desires.

Lu Jin felt as if her internal organs were churning, her head was exploding, her legs were trembling, and she almost fell over.

Changqing grabbed him and warned him, "That's a witch's trick. Use your Qi to protect your ears and avoid being affected."

"If I remember correctly, my master mentioned before that this thing... is a lost secret technique from the Northern Desert. Once hypnotized, one will lose consciousness, lose all five senses, and become a cripple!"

Upon hearing his analysis, Lu Jin's face turned pale with fear, and he immediately channeled his Qi to seal his ears.

"boom_!"

The next instant, a blazing silver light that illuminated the night burst forth behind Jiang Mo, and one after another, chains of Qi-transformed energy crashed down from above like a roaring tsunami.

"Bang!!!"

The paper puppets that had broken through the mountain were covered in runes and were as hard as a rock. They were pierced by the chains one after another, and the high temperature caused them to scream and rot, their bodies turning black and charred.

Gu Ying walked up the stone steps, her expression solemn but unwavering.

She gripped the long knife tightly, and with her left hand tore open a packet of medicine paper, inside which several hideous and ugly centipedes writhed, which she smeared onto the blade.

In an instant, the centipede was slashed by the blade, its flesh and blood withered rapidly, turning into granular powder, which then formed a special membrane that adhered to the blade.

Nearly a hundred burning paper puppets fell like straw, their ashes scattered.

Gu Ying stepped over the meticulously woven puppet corpses of the past, expressionless, and looked up at the sky full of blazing silver chains. For the first time, she felt a terrifying sense of suffocation.

The young man guarding the mountain gate had white hair that seemed to be flowing freely, like a celestial being who had been lost to the mortal world.

His mere presence emanated a radiance that illuminated the more than a thousand dimly lit stone steps leading to the Dao Palace, making them appear as if covered by a silver ocean. With every gesture, he seemed to be connected to the will of the entire world.

Witnessing this breathtaking scene, Changqing and the others trembled with excitement.

"Trinity... door".

Gu Ying's voice was cold and sharp. The moment she met the young man's gaze, her keen intuition made her understand everything.

The deaths of the three evil spirits of Quanxing, and even Old Ghost Zhao, may all be related to this person.

The scene before them resembled a myth reenacted, with the young man standing before the gates of the Dao Palace, his expression indifferent, almost as if he were about to ascend to heaven.

Gu Ying took a deep breath, her skin tensed, and the blood energy in her body began to burn, surging rapidly at a visible speed.

The unprecedented pressure made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. If it weren't for the death of her loved ones and having nowhere else to retreat, she would never have fought against a monster of this level.

"Wow——!"

Black, deep-seated malevolent energy poured out from the surface of Gu Ying's body, revealing a bright red, blood-red arc mark between his brows.

The surrounding environment, the wind blowing through the grass and trees, the dust splashing around, all suddenly slowed down several times.

"boom!"

The explosive black energy surged forward, and Gu Ying, wielding an evil blade, fought fiercely against nearly a hundred chains.

"clang!"

She was like a ghost, leaving many afterimages. She teetered on the edge of death, daring not to have any distracting thoughts. If she were to be grazed by the chains, she would surely perish!

"escape?"

Jiang Mo's gaze locked onto the disheveled figure, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"boom!!"

The chains suddenly increased in speed, sweeping in from all directions. Gu Ying, trapped in a desperate situation, angrily swung her black blade, unleashing dozens of dark purple blade beams, but they could not shake the chains.

On the contrary, the moment the blades made contact, the chains seemed to have encountered their nemesis and were slightly repelled.

At the same time, the special membrane covering the black knife also became thin.

Before she could recover, Jiang Mo lightly raised his right hand, a crimson-gold Dao appearing in his eyes, causing the void to rumble.

"This is a sacred place of the Xuanmen sect. Since we are here, let us make the best of it."

With the blessing of the Three Ones True Method, he freely manipulated the omnipresent Qi of the sky and clouds, transforming it into a transparent, sky-covering giant hand that descended upon the location of the Quanxing demoness.

"boom!!!"

The already dilapidated mountain road was instantly destroyed.

The enormous palm print struck Gu Ying squarely. She was covered in blood, looked like a madwoman, and fought desperately, letting out a shrill roar.

The black blade shattered inch by inch, and the accompanying poisonous membrane vanished in an instant. Without the protection of the extraordinary artifact, Gu Ying could not withstand the earth-shattering force; his bones shattered, and blood gushed forth...

Chapter 25 Before departure

Seeing her stubborn resistance, Jiang Mo exerted a little force, compressing the air like a steel plate. The bones and flesh inside were rotten and the person was barely breathing.

"call out!"

With a whooshing sound, Jiang Mo dragged her along the stone steps, flying horizontally to the front of the mountain gate.

"Pfft!"

Gu Ying spat out another mouthful of black, foul blood. Her internal organs were severely damaged, and the pain that penetrated to her very soul, along with her depleted strength, filled her with grief and despair, causing her to completely lose control of her body.

The blood-red cheongsam was more than half destroyed during the fierce battle, revealing her fair and jade-like skin.

Her hair was disheveled, obscuring her pale face, and her breath continued to weaken.

Jiang Mo gripped her throat with one hand, staring into her unwilling and resentful eyes, and asked softly, "Any last words?"

"..."

Gu Ying remained silent, biting her lip until it bled, but she didn't utter a word.

Jiang Mo then ignored them, turned to look at the three disciples, and said, "Quanxing... is Quanxing."

"Men or women, ugly or beautiful, should be treated equally."

Just then, a cruel 'ripping' sound rang out.

Jiang Mo calmly dislocated Gu Ying's arm, causing blood to gush out and knocking her, who was already on the verge of death, into a deep coma.

"Look carefully, the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique can be used like this."

Lu Jin, Chang Qing, and Zhuge Yu dared not let their guard down, their ears perked up, all feeling tense.

A clear white aura emanated from Jiang Mo's right hand, covering the remains of Gu Ying's body, and even the severed arm on the ground was not spared.

"boom!"

Enveloped in white qi, the bone and flesh underwent a dramatic change, becoming increasingly transparent. Upon reaching a certain limit, it emitted a crisp sound and shattered into countless white fluorescent dots.

"call--!"

A night breeze blew, the light scattered and went out, and the soul of a generation of Quanxing masters returned to heaven and earth.

"get out of class is over."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the three, Jiang Mo walked past them, leaving behind a slightly serious remark.

"I will soon descend the mountain and slay all the demons of Quanxing."

"If you have fear, hesitation, kindness, or even hatred that is not thorough enough, and you have the absurd idea that 'perhaps some members of Quanxing are innocent,' then stay on the mountain."

After speaking, the frost on Jiang Mo's hair faded, and his intense aura vanished completely as he walked towards the Dao Court.

......

Late at night, Jiang Mo, who was meditating in meditation, heard a light knock on the door and slightly opened his eyes.

"Uncle-Master! Senior Brother Chengzhen and Uncle-Master Sichong have both woken up!!" Shuiyun reported excitedly in the corridor.

Jiang Mo got up and went to the pharmacy with him.

As he stepped across the threshold, the two people who had been carefully cared for by Lu Jin suddenly looked up and froze. After more than twenty years, they saw that familiar figure again and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Senior brother, how is Xiao Chengzhen recovering?"

Jiang Mo revealed a gentle smile, and then asked Shui Yun and Lu Jin to go out first.
