"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
"you… "
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the body of the Ice Blade Emperor couldn't help but tremble slightly. He had indeed noticed the slowdown in his enlightenment a long time ago. At first, he thought it was just the improvement of his cultivation level. Because the truth he wanted to comprehend became more and more profound, the speed of his comprehension slowed down.
But as time went by, he vaguely realized that his speed of enlightenment slowed down, not because the Dao he needed to comprehend became more and more profound, but it seemed that his own understanding had decreased. However, in the face of his increasingly powerful strength, he directly ignored all of this until Yang Qi mentioned it at this moment.
This kind of secret involving oneself is absolutely unknown to any other cultivator except the Ice Blade Emperor himself. Unless Yang Qi has seen some records similar to his situation, it is impossible for him to tell his situation so easily.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this emperor go down a dead end?" The Ice Blade Emperor's face was full of disbelief, and he roared, "I am a more evil being than you, how could this emperor go down the wrong path?"
Looking at the Ice Blade Emperor who was roaring wildly with disbelief on his face, Yang Qi and the other three couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The Ice Blade Emperor in front of them was too self-righteous. If he had communicated more with other practitioners on the road of cultivation, even if he was a casual cultivator, he could have completely avoided taking this obviously wrong path. It was a pity that the Ice Blade Emperor did not do so. Instead, after feeling the powerful combat power brought by this path, he resolutely walked along this path and did not even know that he was on a dead end.
“Ha~ha~”
The Ice Blade Emperor laughed madly, but in that mad laughter, there was endless despair. He was despairing not because he had difficulty surviving, but because he was on the road to death without knowing it.
"not good… "
Feeling that the aura of the Ice Blade Emperor was becoming more and more violent, the expressions of Yang Qi and the other three changed, and they immediately retreated rapidly with a shake of their bodies.
At the moment when Yang Qi and the other four were retreating violently, the Ice Blade Emperor exploded with crazy laughter and died on the spot.
Buzz~
The terrifying aftermath of the self-explosion swept over, and even though Yang Qi and the other four tried their best to resist, their vitality was lost under the impact of the aftermath. After all, the Ice Blade Emperor was an early six-star Martial Emperor, and the power of the self-explosion would not be weakened just because the path he took was wrong. In addition, the Ice Blade Emperor had not yet reached the point of being exhausted, so the power of the self-explosion was even stronger.
Looking at the empty void, Emperor Luo Yue raised his eyebrows and said with a slightly complicated expression, "It actually exploded by itself."
"His heart was dead, his Taoism heart collapsed, and he had no hope of survival, so it's not surprising that he self-destructed to death." Yang Qi said calmly. The Ice Blade Emperor chose to self-destruct because his Taoism heart collapsed and he had no motivation or desire to live.
When Emperor Giant Rock heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "This Ice Blade Emperor is indeed a pitiful person."
It was completely beyond their expectations that a dignified six-star Martial Emperor had embarked on such an obviously wrong path. On the contrary, the Ice Blade Emperor was immersed in the powerful force brought by the wrong path. It was indeed pitiful.
“There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Although he has embarked on the wrong path, if he had not committed so many evil things and was not on the task list of the Demon Exorcist Palace, as long as he was alive, he might have had a chance to change in the future.” Yang Qi said indifferently.
A pitiful person is not necessarily worthy of sympathy. At least the Ice Blade Emperor in front of him is definitely not worthy of sympathy!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Lei Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Brother Xu Xing is right. Although these people are pitiful, they are also hateful. There is no need to sympathize with them."
"No matter whether he is pitiful or hateful, he chose to self-destruct, which saved a lot of effort." Emperor Luo Yue said in a deep voice.
Although they found the Ice Blade Emperor's weakness, he still had the strength of a six-star martial emperor. If they really fought to the death with them, they would probably have to pay a price to kill him. As a result, the Ice Blade Emperor's heart collapsed and he chose to commit suicide. They completed the demon-killing mission without paying any price, which was naturally a good thing for them.
"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to leave!" Emperor Lei Zhong spoke again.
Soon, everyone collected the remaining treasures after the death of Ice Blade Emperor. As a casual cultivator, the most valuable thing for Ice Blade Emperor was the top-grade Taoist weapon in his hand. Apart from that, the remaining treasures were not of great value.
Fortunately, the reward for the demon-killing mission to eliminate the Ice Blade Emperor is the highest among the twelve ordinary demon-killing missions accepted by Yang Qi and others, and they can get a lot of contribution points.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Qi and his four companions did not linger any longer, but headed to the area where the target of the previous demon-killing mission was located. Although all thirteen demon-killing missions had been attempted, there was no news about the targets of several demon-killing missions, so Yang Qi and his four companions planned to continue trying.
Time passed, and several years went by in a blink of an eye. During these years, Yang Qi and the other three stepped up their efforts to gather information about the remaining targets of the demon-killing mission, but unfortunately, they gained nothing in the end.
On this day, Yang Qi, who was in seclusion for cultivation, received a message from Emperor Lei Zhong and immediately rushed to the reception room.
Emperor Lei Zhong looked at Yang Qi and the other two in front of him and said slowly, "There is no news about the remaining demon-killing missions yet. It is possible that the targets of the demon-killing missions have already left the Demon Heaven Star Region. I am afraid that there will be no news in the short term."
Hearing this, Yang Qi and the other two nodded. Of course, they could continue to wait, perhaps for decades or hundreds of years, there would be news about the targets of the demon-killing missions. However, this time they came to the Demon Star Region, they had already gained a lot, and it would be a bit of a loss to spend a lot of time waiting for the news of these demon-killing missions.
"Since there is no news about the target of the demon-killing mission for the time being, I suggest returning to the Holy Church. What do you think?" Emperor Lei Zhong spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi immediately shook his head and said, "I have no objection."
He was probably the practitioner in the group who least wanted to waste time waiting, so when Emperor Lei Zhong suggested returning to Yuansheng Sect, he immediately expressed his support.
"I have no objection either." Emperor Giant Rock said in a deep voice.
In fact, Emperor Giant Rock didn't mind spending decades or even hundreds of years waiting, but he could see that neither Yang Qi nor Emperor Lei Zhong intended to waste any more time, so there was naturally no need for him to keep waiting.
As for Emperor Luo Yue, he had always followed the lead of Emperor Lei Zhong, so naturally he did not express any objection at this moment.
Yang Qi and the other three did not linger any longer and immediately set off for the Inspection Hall, returning to the Yuansheng Sect headquarters via the teleportation array.
