Chapter 784 – Killing Intent

When Yuan felt the stone tablet shake, he subconsciously removed his hand from it, fearing that he might destroy it.

However, it was too late, as he'd already injected his demon sealing aura into the stone tablet.

The stone tablet began trembling until cracks appeared on it.

When Qi Fang and the others saw this, they were terrified out of their minds. If the stone tablet really breaks, they would have no way to fix it!

Suddenly, all seven totems shone brightly, basking the whole area with a golden light.

Boom!

One of the seven totems— the very last one— exploded into countless pieces.

When that happened, the other six totems lost their light, and the stone tablet stopped working.

"W-What the hell did you do…?" Qi Fang approached the totems in a dazed manner, and she inspected the conditions of the remaining six totems.

Although they were not completely destroyed, they were on the verge of destruction, and they were all covered in cracks.

"S-Sorry! I think my demon sealing aura was too strong!" Yuan quickly apologized.

"You think an apology will fix this? If this stone tablet stops working, we will no longer be able to evaluate the strength of our demon sealing aura!" Qi Fang said with a frown.

"I only did as you told me." Yuan shrugged.

"Calm down." Qi Man suddenly said.

"Even if the stone tablet is broken, not all hope is lost. The other two families also have one."

"Other two families?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"There are three ancient families in this world that seal demons, and the Qi Family is only one of them. The other two would be the Luan Family and the Sang Family. We don't normally speak with each other, but if we really need to, we can ask to use their stone tablet."

"Don't worry about this, Yuan. We will deal with the stone tablet. You can focus on your lectures."

"I understand. Once again, sorry about the whole situation."

While Yuan returned to his living quarters, the Qi Family examined the damages done to the stone tablet much deeper.

"I have never seen anything like this before. Just how powerful is his demon sealing aura to wreck the place like this?"

"He's strong enough to kill a demon, so I'm not really that surprised…"

Sometime later, the people that inspected the stone tablet reported the results to the elders.

"Despite its rough state and appearance, the stone tablet is still working properly— except the seventh totem, which is no longer functional."

Qi Huan released a long sigh after hearing the results, "Looks like we won't have to beg the other two families for their help."

"Indeed." Qi Man sighed.

Meanwhile…

"Okay, I am going to transfer to you the demon sealing techniques now." Yuan said to Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang.

He started with Meixiu.

After touching her forehead with his finger, Yuan transferred two different techniques to her, both demon sealing techniques that required the bow.

"A Heaven-rank and Divine-rank technique…" Meixiu mumbled in a low voice.

"Thank you, Yuan."

Yuan turned to look at Chu Liuxiang next.

"I have three demon sealing techniques for you, and they don't require the usage of any weapons." Yuan said to her before transferring the techniques to her.

"Thank you!" She said to him afterward.

"Good luck learning the techniques."

The following morning, Yuan went to the training area.

"Yuan, I also want to participate in the training today." Meixiu suddenly said to him.

"Sure."

"I also want to join!" Chu Liuxiang said.

And she continued, "Make sure that you don't go easy on us."

"I won't." He smiled.

Sometime later, they arrived at the training area.

While they waited for everyone to arrive, Qi Man approached Yuan and told him about the stone tablets.

"So they still work? Thank god." Yuan sighed in relief.

"Only six of the seven totems work, but I doubt any of us will reach that level."

"Nothing is impossible." Yuan smiled.

Once everyone from the Qi Family gathered at the training area, Yuan had them surrounded him in a circle.

The strongest cultivators there like Qi Fang and Chu Liuxiang sat closest to Yuan while the weaker cultivators sat further away.

"I will now release my killing intent. It will feel uncomfortable. Some of you might even feel pain, but do your best to endure it. This will not only help you fight against demons, it can also help you when you face other cultivators." Yuan said to them before taking a seat on the floor.

"Any questions before we start?"

One of the disciples raised her hands and asked, "Senior Yuan, how long do we have to endure your killing intent?"

"As long as you can. I will be doing this all day. If you must retire, leave. But if you want to come back afterward, you can do so."

Once there were no more questions, Yuan took a deep breath and turned dead silent.

After a moment of silence, an overwhelming amount of killing intent suddenly burst from Yuan's body like a volcano, shocking everybody there.

"Aaaah!"

Many disciples screamed in terror the moment they felt his killing intent, and some of them even fell unconscious.

Despite the chaos, Yuan continued to release his killing intent, filling the entire training area with it.

"T-This guy…" Qi Fang couldn't stop her body shaking from fear, and her body quickly became soaked in sweat.

Even the elders like Qi Man and Qi Huan couldn't sit still.

Eventually, Yuan had to lower the amount of killing intent he was releasing, as too many disciples were falling out too quickly, which would make his training less effective.

As for his killing intent, most of them were from his memories as the Evil God.

Killing intent can only be formed through one's experience as a killer, and with his memories as the Evil God, someone who has killed countless people, even a tiny amount of his killing intent was enough to render everyone in the Qi Family useless.
