Immortal Devil Transformation

Lin Xi approached Purgatory Mountain. He silently walked towards those smoke shrouded volcanoes.

There were countless active and dormant volcanoes, within them standing many palaces. This was definitely a different scene that he wouldn’t be able to see in his past world.

His sight was already extremely astonishing now. Even from such a great distance, he was able to see many slaves who were almost entirely naked by the border of Purgatory Mountain. They crawled up and down the mountain paths, coming in and out of some mines and workshops like ants. Red robed Divine Adjudicators used iron chains to whip and drive them to do work.

Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators were already extremely few in number. However, there were so many slaves, so many that even his hands were shaking slightly.

In just these few breaths of time where he remained silent, he already saw several areas on the mountain path where the slaves couldn’t continue on. They fell and could not get back up. Then, the red robed Divine Adjudicators would fling out their iron chains and willfully throw them into the lava pits or abandoned mines where there were even more corpses.

Even though there were slaves who fell and died from time to time, Purgatory Mountain as a whole didn’t seem to have suffered any losses. Those slaves still covered everything like ants.

Nangong Weiyang’s eyes were also narrowed, looking ahead. She couldn’t see as clearly as Lin Xi, she only instinctively felt like she didn’t like Purgatory Mountain, this type of place.

Her favorite way of dealing with things she didn’t like was to cut them down.

“You all should head inside. I’ll get rid of some hindrances outside for you.” However, under Lin Xi’s silence, she instead said this.

After coming back from Frozen God Domain, she, Lin Xi and Gu Xinyin reached the same opinion on how to deal with Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping was growing stronger, so not even Sacred Experts could test out his strength. None of them could stop him from becoming stronger through his methods, but they could make him weaker through some other methods.

No matter how much stronger he gets, they would only focus on doing things they knew could make him weaker.

These were their countermeasures.

She really wanted to unleash a massacre in this Purgatory Mountain she didn’t like, but she felt like Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue would be able to do much more against Zhang Ping.

Lin Xi understood her intentions. He nodded his head, and then entered with Qin Xiyue, walking into Purgatory Mountain’s territory.

During that spring, after Purgatory Mountain experienced an incomparable battle, a small half of the true Purgatory Mountain was already destroyed within the flames of war. After that torrential rain, the broken weapons and corpses that were already buried were exposed, so all of them could well imagine just how cruel that past great battle was.

However, under this absolute slave system, the recoverative ability of Purgatory Mountain was also extremely great. Even though Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue were only two small dots approaching in the surrounding neglected areas, a cavalry troop still quickly appeared in front of them.

When the leader of this cavalry army saw Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue’s appearances, he immediately led his troops back in panic. At the same time, he continuously blew his horn, releasing ghost wailing sounds of alarm.

This cavalry troop withdrew.

A wave of dust that flooded the horizon instead immediately surged.

After experiencing the torrential rain, the ground wasn’t dry to the point where it would rush everywhere. Previously, those few hundred cavalry didn’t stir up any dust. That was why one could imagine just how terrifying the size of this army was to raise this much dust.

Countless cavalry troops, infantry troops and military equipment rushed out from the volcanoes right in front of Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue. There were so many soldiers that it looked like those volcanoes were islands.

Even more troops continued to pour out after these first waves of soldiers. Together with the unending volcanoes behind them, the feeling they gave off was as if the gates of hell were suddenly opened here, as if its spawns would never end.

Countless powerful crossbow noises sounded.

Several thousand crossbow arrows instantly rose into the air. They released shrill screaming noises, forming a violent rain of arrows.

The thousands of cavalry who fired this barrage of arrows all moved backwards from the recoil force. Even though these small scale strong crossbows couldn’t ensure their accuracy when the distance exceeded two hundred steps, the arrow storm of an army on this scale already didn’t need any precision. They just needed to cover their target.

After that incomparable great battle, at least half of Great Mang’s soldiers were directly turned into Purgatory Mountain’s mountain protection army. Among these soldiers who were facing Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue, there were even some people who had witnessed Li Ku’s battle in the past.

There were many who had even seen how Li Ku faced a similar type of arrow barrage. They remembered clearly that Li Ku spread powerful soul force across his body to make all of the arrows stop outside his body and form a powerful ball of arrows[1].

They couldn’t help but wonder what kind of method Lin Xi was going to use to face this arrow storm.

…

Lin Xi didn’t release a flying sword or use any other methods to attack the army coming at him.

When this violent rain of arrows rose into the air, he reached out a hand. He held Qin Xiyue’s hand with one hand, while his other hand removed a branch from a lonely poplar tree beside him.

Then, he continued walking forward.

Those arrows that were as fast as lightning in the eyes of other people, were instead exceptionally slow before his eyes.

He moved between the gaps of these crossbow arrows, only using that branch in his hands to strike a few arrows.

These arrows either changed their flight path, brushed right past his and Qin Xiyue’s bodies, or bumped into other arrows.

Apart from him, no one else could see what was going on clearly.

Everyone only saw the arrows rain down, yet he walked right through safe and sound.

His body didn’t even ripple with much soul force.

However, this scene was instead even more shocking than Li Ku’s ball of steel, even more unimaginable.

The entire army immediately trembled.

It was because most of them were shaking.

Many people looked at that poplar branch that was still intact. They could no longer even move their feet.

…

There was a young officer in this Purgatory Mountain army.

This young officer was precisely this Purgatory Mountain army’s highest commander.

He was dressed in blue and gold armor, seated on a war chariot close to the top of one of the volcanoes.

This type of sight made him tremble a bit as well, goosebumps breaking out on his skin. However, he didn’t feel any fear. He looked at the terrifying Lin Xi who stopped an entire army like this and said with a sneer, “What are you scared of? No matter how strong he is, he is still one person. The past Li Ku was only using intimidation methods when he slaughtered his way into the army back then as well. As long as we aren’t scared off by him, he will undoubtedly die. Look around you, this is a great army exceeding a hundred thousand! Kill him!”

There was a white skull shaped soul weapon at the front of this young officer’s war chariot. When he poured soul force into this soul weapon’s runes, this soul weapon erupted with countless roaring sounds. It immediately magnified his voice countless times, sending it across every corner of the battlefield so that everyone could hear it clearly.

This voice made Lin Xi raise his head, noticing him.

Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue both felt like this voice was a bit familiar. Then, Lin Xi vaguely saw this young high ranking officer’s face.

“Qiu Lu, it was actually you?” Lin Xi frowned. His voice also sounded like a water ripple, reaching that volcano summit.

Qin Xiyue was stunned. The appearance of an academy ‘golden spoon’ appeared in her head.

She recalled who Qiu Lu was. However, she just never thought that this golden spoon who entered Green Luan Academy together with them would actually become this Purgatory Mountain army’s commander.

“Indeed, it is I.”

This already no longer immature Qiu Lu on the volcano smiled, revealing his spotlessly white teeth. His smile was a bit cruel as he coldly said, “Lin Xi, I reckon you never imagined that we would meet in this type of manner after leaving the academy, right?”

“I indeed never expected this type of meeting.” Lin Xi stopped. He raised his head slightly, surprisingly patient with this enemy before him. “In the past, regardless of what kind of disputes we had, regardless of what kind of conflicts there were between bumpkins, golden spoons and border barbarians, we were at least all fellow students. I didn’t expect you to betray Yunqin and actually become the commander of this type of Purgatory Mountain army.”

“I have always wanted to kill you badly. It was just that I never had the chance.” Qiu Lu released a sigh and said, “I never expected you to walk straight into the trap.”

“It is only because we were fellow students that I am willing to speak some more words. After all, regardless of whether they were good or bad, all memories from the academy are worth reminiscing about.” Lin Xi shook his head and said, “Do you think you can kill me? Do not forget that you were also brimming with confidence when you challenged me to a duel back in the academy.”

“Even if you have Big Black, there is no way you can kill me from such a great distance! Let alone the fact that you already don’t have Big Black anymore.” Qiu Lu sneered. With a fierce voice, he almost roared out, “Kill him!”

His vicious roar sounded. Many people felt like what he said was right. The entire army began to move again.

“You are wrong. Your cognition is still limited to Sacred Expert level power… Also, I don’t have an arrow, but it’s the same even with a sword.”

Lin Xi only calmly said this.

His flying sword rose from behind him.Then, this flying sword didn’t move like any flying swords of this world, but rather followed his sight. Under the propulsion of unimaginable power, it rushed through the sky and directly broke free from his control.

A blast of vital energy and sound waves rippled in front of him.

His flying sword was like an arrow, firing through the sky. It flew to an unknown altitude. Only when it began to descend did everyone see that it turned into a speck.

His flying sword moved with his will, fired just like an arrow. It was flung out, and then it descended with the Falling Moon stance.

Dark blue flames began to burn in the air behind the flying sword, drawing out a long scar.

Qiu Lu’s originally arrogant face became incomparably pale.

He opened his mouth, yet couldn’t utter any sounds.

Lin Xi’s flying sword began to fall from a distance where no weapons in this world could intercept it, and there was no way it could remain absolutely precise. However, the power it fell from the sky with was too great, surrounding several zhang of distance.

When the flying sword approached the ground, the vital energy streams and blast wave it carried already descended.

Under Qiu Lu’s horrified eyes, his body couldn’t move at all. He was instantly crushed several inches into the ground, his body releasing countless bone fracturing and flesh rupturing noises.

Boom!

The flying sword finally descended.

Under a terrifying impact and explosion, his war chariot was blasted flying. At the same time, his entire body was filled with countless holes. Shattered flesh and bones sprayed out from within.

Lin Xi’s eyes flickered a bit as he sent off this former golden spoon.
