Chapter 199: Chapter 143: Have You Ever Seen an Unparalleled Celestial Pride?

The man froze for a moment, then finally said, "Hurry and go! You’re no match for them."

Hearing this, Jiang Man smiled. "Have you ever seen an Unparalleled Celestial Pride?"

The man subconsciously shook his head, then looked in horror behind Jiang Man. Another Demon Beast had arrived.

"Then this is your lucky day. You’ve met one today." As he spoke, Jiang Man slowly rose to his feet.

The moment he stood up, a golden light flared from his body, enveloping him completely.

True Martial Skill.

The next moment, Jiang Man spun around and struck with his palm at what was behind him.

The instant his palm shot out, the golden light finished covering his body.

Shadowless Thousand Palms.

BOOM! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The charging Demon Beast’s head was knocked sideways as it was sent flying.

Jiang Man then stomped down. Bengliu Technique.

KABOOM!

The Demon Beast beneath his foot instantly exploded.

Next, he executed Wandering Dragon, circling the area.

All the Demon Beasts were sent flying.

He sheltered the three of them in the center. "Activate your True Martial Skill, then lead some of the Demon Beasts away. Leave the rest to me."

Standing back-to-back, the three finally came to their senses. Although they didn’t understand how Jiang Man could activate his True Martial Skill in the middle of a battle, now was not the time to investigate.

They were a little worried as they activated it, afraid that Jiang Man wouldn’t be able to hold the line.

But true to his word, not a single Demon Beast got near them.

「After a long while.」

Golden light burst from the three of them.

With that, the slender man said immediately, "Leader, let’s go!"

Jiang Man said calmly, "You go first. I’ll hold off the Demon King."

The slender man frowned, reluctant to flee on his own.

The main reason was...

...the person before him had just saved his life.

In the end, he was dragged away by the others.

Staying would only get in the way.

Watching the three leave, luring six Demon Beasts away with them, Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief.

’Only six. Not bad.’

Then he looked at the remaining Demon King and the dozen-plus Demon Beasts and began to smile.

’They’re all mine. Five hundred for each one, fifty thousand for the Demon King... a total of sixty thousand!’

’Since when was earning Spiritual Source this easy?’

It would have been a tough fight at first, but now that my True Martial Skill is active, even the Demon King has to die.

The only shame is that I don’t have a powerful Top-grade Technique.

Jiang Man took a step forward, planting his foot on a Demon Beast’s head.

Bengliu Technique.

With a BANG, he stomped the Demon Beast straight into the ground.

Its body exploded.

Immediately after, he used Shadowless Thousand Palms, slapping another Demon Beast away.

BOOM!

The Demon King attacked.

Jiang Man dodged with Cyan Smoke Prelude.

Then he reappeared in front of a Demon Beast and brought his palm down.

Nine Clouds Dragon Suppressing Technique.

BOOM!

The Demon Beast was only heavily injured.

Jiang Man wasn’t in a hurry; he followed up with another palm strike.

After that, Jiang Man continued to attack while dodging the Demon King.

The Demon King seemed to be waiting for Jiang Man’s Spiritual Qi to run out.

But as Jiang Man’s movements grew faster and faster, and after half of the Demon Beasts had been killed, the Demon King seemed to freeze in a daze.

’How is this person not even a little bit drained?’

In truth, he was expending energy.

One Gourd’s worth of Cultivation had been used up.

’Good thing this is a tempered Gourd; it lasts a while.’

「After the time it took for an incense stick to burn.」

Jiang Man pinned the last Demon Beast to the ground with his foot and met the Demon King’s gaze.

At the same time, deep within the Demon King’s body, a gaze seemed to be drawn to Jiang Man’s martial prowess.

Then, that gaze began to take over the Demon King. Its body started to twist and contort into the small figure of a human, like a little girl.

Jiang Man was a bit surprised.

’A mutation?’

’Or are all Demon Kings like this?’

’Whatever. How can something related to the Evil God be any good?’

’Even Old Huang, who meant well, ended up making a mess of things and causing me a lot of grief. This Demon King is connected to the Evil God, so it’s bound to be worse.’

’I just need to kill it.’

「At the same time.」

The Steward of the small market suddenly saw the sand table vibrating.

He was somewhat surprised. ’The aura of the Evil God?’

This was the second time it had appeared in nearly thirty years.

Not daring to hesitate, he immediately reported it.
