Chapter 590: Chapter 284: Demon Thought Cage

Jiang Huaijin sighed softly. "The Demon Venerable’s Demonic Thought is incredibly powerful. Once it invades your body, your consciousness is seized, and you become a puppet of the Demonic Thought.

For young friend Chen Cheng to only go mad is already a testament to his strength."

"Is that so? Lord Chen had just begun to distinguish himself, becoming the foremost Martial Artist of Linji City’s younger generation, only to meet with such a calamity. What a terrible shame!"

Yang Xingyao wore an expression of grief, but inwardly, he was feeling more and more gleeful!

"Yang Xingyao, watch your words!" Ji Jingbei chided coldly from the side.

He had always been cautious. Although he, too, harbored feelings of schadenfreude, the matter wasn’t settled yet. Speaking carelessly at a time like this would only bring trouble upon himself.

But that’s just how things are—what you fear most is what comes to pass.

Meanwhile, Chen Cheng was fiercely guarding his mind. As his thoughts gradually cleared, he suddenly heard the two words "Yang Xingyao." A surge of viciousness rose in his heart, an instinct telling him that only by cutting this man down would he feel satisfied!

This viciousness abruptly transformed into intense killing intent!

Amidst this intense killing intent, he suddenly had an epiphany, sensing the wisp of a Heart Demon!

’Yang Xingyao... I clearly remember putting him on my list. Why is he still alive?’

’Those who offend me must die!’

Chen Cheng’s gaze suddenly turned frigid as he looked toward Yang Xingyao. Then, his Long Saber shot out of its sheath!

SCHLICK!

A flash of frigid saber light passed, and before Yang Xingyao could even react, he was sliced in two from top to bottom!

Everyone was aghast!

"And you, Ji Jingbei!"

With a cold snort, Chen Cheng’s saber flashed again!

Ji Jingbei was scared out of his wits. He subconsciously tried to draw his saber to block, but his hand had just touched the hilt when he was split in two!

"Who else dares to offend me?" Chen Cheng’s Long Saber swept out, unleashing waves of sharp Sword Intent, making him look like a demon god ready to strike at any moment!

Terrified out of their minds, the crowd scattered and fled in all directions!

Even Jiang Huaijin and Qin Hongbin instantly flew back over a hundred feet to take cover.

"Young friend Chen Cheng, you’ve suffered Demonic Possession! Quickly recite the Vast Righteous Qi Song!" Jiang Huaijin shouted.

Fortunately, at that moment, a faint black aura reappeared on Chen Cheng’s face, making it seem as if his mind was once again being disturbed by the Demonic Thought!

"Ah Cheng, recite the Vast Righteous Qi Song and guard your mind!"

Shen Mingyuan had also rushed over at top speed with the members of the Shen Family.

He had previously received Chen Cheng’s instructions to take his people and hide at the first opportunity, lest they be harmed by the Corpse Demon.

Thus, they had been hiding in a secret room in Cui Liu Manor and only came out now after hearing the commotion outside die down.

In reality, Chen Cheng had been using his Telekinesis to diligently guard his sea of consciousness the entire time. The Demonic Thought couldn’t interfere with his mind at all.

All the Demonic Thought had done was stir up Chen Cheng’s Heart Demon. But Chen Cheng had always followed a philosophy of annihilating all his enemies; his will was always clear and unobstructed, leaving him with almost no Heart Demon!

The only exception was that scoundrel Yang Xingyao, whom he’d noted down but had overlooked, creating a tiny flaw!

Now that he had cut down Yang Xingyao, how could there be any Heart Demon left? He was simply continuing his search for the Demon Thought Cage.

After searching the area and still finding no trace of the Demon Thought Cage, Chen Cheng couldn’t be bothered to continue. His eyes suddenly became clear and bright.

He looked at Shen Mingyuan and said lightly, "My mind is fine, Grandfather-in-law. Let’s head back to the city first!"

With that, he ignored Jiang Huaijin and the others, his figure flashing as he sped away toward Linji City!

Shen Mingyuan gave a cupped-fist salute to Jiang Huaijin and Qin Hongbin before leading his men to follow.

Jiang Huaijin and Qin Hongbin stared at each other, speechless.

Seeing the strange looks from their subordinates, they both felt they couldn’t keep their composure, and their cheeks burned slightly.

The two of them—veteran Perfect Martial Artists of the Organ Refining Realm, figures of the Ancestor level—had actually been scared into a panicked retreat by a junior. It was truly a cause for deep shame!

"What happened today must not be spread!"

Jiang Huaijin ordered his subordinates, then gestured for Qin Hongbin to leave with him.

Once the two of them were far away, the crowd erupted in an uproar once more!

As for Chen Cheng killing Yang Xingyao and Ji Jingbei... when even the Ancestors of the Jiang and Qin Families were helpless against him, who would dare to speak a single word about it?
