Chapter 2349: The Final Struggle, the Light Pillar Returns

Under the pitch-black sword claw, Sikong Jing’s voice was ice-cold to the extreme...

"I could one-shot your eldest son. You really think just because you’re at the Fourth Realm of Holy Martial, you can take me down in an instant?"

Even without using the Demon Realm First Layer right now, Sikong Jing’s current combat strength already reached the Peak of the Second Stage of Holy Martial. How could Pei Kuang possibly take him down in a flash?

A sneak attack? Sikong Jing had been on guard for that long ago.

The next instant... boom boom boom!

Murong Jianyun, Venerable Ba Lian and the others were already charging over in a siege, directly blasting Pei Kuang away from in front of Sikong Jing.

Thud thud thud...

Pei Kuang frantically staggered back several steps. He wanted to seize the chance to escape, but was blocked again by Tie Binghun, Ye Wuzhi and the others who formed a Formation.

In the end, he stared at Sikong Jing, trembling, and said, "Y-you... you actually surpassed Su Beiheng of those years. I’m not reconciled! Why must someone like you appear on the Central Plains?"

He was starting to feel despair. Sikong Jing’s talent was too terrifying.

Back then, Su Beiheng had used the Emperor Realm to heavily wound his big brother Pei Chang, who was at the Holy Martial Stage. And now this Little Demon Sikong could, with the Emperor Realm, block his attack from the Fourth Realm of Holy Martial.

That made his mentality completely explode.

He, Pei Kuang, was supposed to be the most gifted person under heaven. Why did such people keep appearing to defy him?

Unfair, way too unfair!

At this moment, Old Xiu said coldly, "Pei Kuang, when you were young you were defeated by our Eldest Su, yet you used one word—’Demon’—to pin so-called monstrous crimes on him. But the Heavenly Dao is clear; how could it always let you have your way?"

Old He’s killing intent surged, roaring madly, "Pei Kuang, you have never been the number one expert in the world, and you never will be."

Old Fat Head clenched his fists tightly, eyes brimming with tears, saying nothing.

To them, the despair beneath that One Claw Domain back then was now being returned in full to Pei Kuang. Eldest Su had ultimately still left this world, yet he left behind powerful methods to his grandson-in-law.

And Old He’s words almost detonated all of Pei Kuang’s shadows—Su Beiheng was the one who had given him endless nightmares.

"I am, I am the number one expert in the world! As long as I kill all of you, I still am..."

"Thousand Kings Array, open for me!"

Pei Kuang roared madly. He wanted to activate all the Formations within Qianwang Holy City...

Yet no matter how he shouted, there was no reaction from the surroundings. Pei Kuang shrieked again and again, "Thousand Kings Array, open!"

Thud...

Master Wuji, Qi Wuji, who had originally been sitting in his chair, suddenly stood up.

"Pei Kuang, there’s no need to waste your strength anymore."

"Your Great Array was completely cracked by me before you even came."

"Back then I, Qi Wuji, was just a minor nobody. Now I am a master—a master not only of Emperor’s Artifacts, but of Array Bases as well."

With his words, Pei Kuang’s entire body trembled violently, but then he... roared!

Streams of blood light were wildly flung out!

Right after, Pei Kuang laughed wildly, "The poison of the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast—I’ll poison you all to death!"

The first time he summoned it, he’d already collected a large amount of poison from the Six Clawed Mixed Beasts.

After the Six Clawed Mixed Beast was slain last time, he collected a lot more, precisely to use at the most critical moment.

As long as the people nearby were poisoned, he’d reverse the situation.

And to his great delight, everyone was struck by the poisonous blood.

"Hahaha..."

Pei Kuang laughed loudly, "Why did I dare come back? Because I have plenty of trump cards. Your strongest is only Ba Lian at the Third Stage of Holy Martial; you can’t block the poison of the Six Clawed Mixed Beast."

"You’re all dead. I’ll still be the number one expert in the world, hahaha..."

Yet as he laughed, his expression gradually froze, because not a single person around him showed any sign of being poisoned.

After quite a while, he roared in fury, "Why? Why?"

Master Wuji replied slowly, "Didn’t I stand up? Without an antidote, how could I be standing now?"

Once, Master Wuji had his legs rendered useless by Beast Poison, but now he was standing perfectly fine.

"No, no..."

Hearing this, Pei Kuang’s whole body swayed, about to collapse.

Indeed, without an antidote, Old Xiu couldn’t possibly look as rosy-cheeked as he did now.

His teeth chattered as he looked at Sikong Jing, growling low, "Human-shaped beast again—him again, isn’t it?"

Other than the human-shaped beast, no one else could possibly create an antidote.

Sikong Jing did not deny it. "Yes."

"Aaaaahhhhh..."

Pei Kuang bellowed in fury, "Just what the hell is he? Where the hell did he crawl out from?"

To this day, no one knew where the human-shaped beast had emerged from.

But this question, Sikong Jing naturally would not answer.

He only said coldly, "Pei Kuang, surrender yourself and reveal all the secret methods of Qianwang Holy Tower. Then perhaps we might leave a strand of inheritance for Qianwang Holy Tower..."

Of course, Sikong Jing still had to get his hands on all of Qianwang Holy Tower’s secrets.

At this, Pei Kuang lifted his head and laughed miserably, "Why would I care about inheritance? I only care about staying alive... Want to obtain all of Qianwang Holy Tower’s secrets? Impossible, unless you let me go."

Hearing this, Murong Jianyun and the others stepped forward, pressure mounting.

But Pei Kuang chuckled darkly, "Let me go, or Qianwang Holy Tower still has massive hidden organizational forces. When spring wind blows, they’ll grow anew. Then your Domineering Commercial Alliance will never know peace, never rest in all eternity."

Tie Binghun sneered again and again, "Pei Kuang, only with you alive would we never know peace."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a chilling light exploded in Pei Kuang’s eyes. "I intend to stay alive. I still have one final method!"

Hum...

With his words, a white pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, enveloping him directly. It was, sure enough, the summoning light pillar of a Transmission Stone. He laughed again, "Unless there’s Divine Martial Stage power, you can’t break a transmission light pillar."

Just like back in the Minglong Mountain Range, Pei Kuang and Lady Li had been beaten half to death by Su Beiheng, yet still escaped by hiding in a transmission light pillar.

With Sikong Jing and the others’ strength as it was now, breaking this pillar was impossible.

Unless, like the human-shaped beast last time, someone Demonized into the Divine Martial Stage.

But Sikong Jing only said lightly, "Transmission light pillars have a time limit. You really think in more than two hours you’ll break the situation?"

Hearing this, a deep chill spread from Pei Kuang’s voice. "Maybe I can still summon some terrifying powerhouse... I don’t believe you really took control of that prison. I’ll damn well gamble one more time."

He had no road left, only this one gamble—to see what kind of figure he could summon.

To this, Sikong Jing shrugged. "Then let’s wait and see."

As he spoke, Sikong Jing slowly turned to Murong Jianyun and said, "Great Heaven Decision, don’t worry about the summoning pillar. For now, start taking Qianwang Holy City. You can announce our victory now."

Hearing this, Murong Jianyun nodded heavily, then led Beicang Tianjue and the others as they flashed into the sky.

But Beicang Tianjue was still a little worried, asking in a low voice, "Old Murong, is this summoning pillar really no threat?"

Murong Jianyun stroked his beard. "If Ajing says it’s fine, then it definitely is... Move out!"

Just like that, they began announcing Qianwang Holy Tower’s defeat, and started to reorganize and deal with those who remained in Qianwang Holy Tower.
