At this moment, there was still breath in the Sky Obscuring Lord; he opened his eyes weakly and unwillingly.

Wang Xiaoqiang flew rapidly over, grabbed the Jinse Protector from the Sky Obscuring Lord's body, and pulled it off in one move, staring at the Sky Obscuring Lord and said, "Sky Obscuring Lord, the grudges between us are finally settled, but ultimately, it is you who will die. If you're dead, you're dead—you can't take such a fine treasure with you, so I'll keep this for you."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he waved the Jinse Protector in his hand and then promptly tossed it into the Sumeru Ring.

The Sky Obscuring Lord glared at Wang Xiaoqiang with eyes full of resentment, unwillingness, despair, fear, and hatred. He said sinisterly, pausing between each word, "Wang, Xiao, Qiang, I won't let you off even as a ghost."

"Then I'll make sure you don't become a ghost," Wang Xiaoqiang said, pulling out the War God Hammer and swinging it toward the Sky Obscuring Lord's head.

With a bang, the Sky Obscuring Lord's head shattered completely, with blood and brain matter flying everywhere, red and white, utterly foul. Wisps of black smoke wafted from the shattered head, like startled moths, attempting to escape.

That was the soul and spirit of the Sky Obscuring Lord.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, releasing a surge of Fire Element Spiritual Energy, which swept over those wisps of spirit like flames, completely incinerating them.

The Sky Obscuring Lord came from the Yan Family of the Netherworld, where King Yan managed the reincarnation of souls. If King Yan were to abuse his power to assist his son's soul, the Sky Obscuring Lord wouldn't need to wait three long years to reincarnate—by then, he'd be back as a formidable warrior.

To prevent future troubles, Wang Xiaoqiang destroyed even the soul of the Sky Obscuring Lord, ensuring he would never reincarnate. Eternal extinction.

Just then, two groups of people flew out from the Purple Sun Sect, charging toward Wang Xiaoqiang and his group,

The first group comprised cultivators below the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm, the core force of the Purple Sun Sect, exactly twenty people, the sect's elite disciples,

The second group was composed of six elders from the Purple Sun Sect,

Someone daring to slaughter an elite disciple like the Sky Obscuring Lord right outside the Purple Sun Sect enraged the Purple Sun Immortal, prompting immediate dispatch of experts from within the sect.

"Such audacity, daring to kill my sect's elite disciple at our doorstep." An elder, yet to arrive, thundered his voice like a raging storm, "Surround them for me."

The group of elite disciples responded to the call, swiftly encircling Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang moved with willpower, immediately deploying the Rain of Sorrowful Swords. Streams of the Sword of Sorrowful Death surged from his body, attacking the disciples encircling him.

Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff…

The elite disciples never anticipated that Wang Xiaoqiang could emit such terrifying Sword Light from his body, not even having time to activate the Immortal Liquid Barrier before the Sword of Sorrowful Death pierced their bodies, each being pierced by multiple swords, spewing blood, and screaming as they perished.

Of the twenty elite disciples, the backbone of the sect, only six survived. However, they were also struck by the Sword of Sorrowful Death, suffering considerable injuries.

"Move!!" Wang Xiaoqiang broke through the encirclement, immediately shouting a command. Upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's command, the five swiftly escaped.

"Trying to escape, impossible!" Although the six elders were taken aback by Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, they did not falter, shouting continuously as they charged forward, sustained by the Immortal Liquid Barrier.

With a movement of Wang Xiaoqiang's mind, the Patterned Beast charged out, releasing a furious roar toward the six figures, spewing a substance-like flame from its mouth,

This flame, compared to when in the Immortal Realm, had its power greatly enhanced, appearing blue and churning like boiling Immortal Liquid. With a swoosh, it obstructed the six elders; if not for their Immortal Liquid Barriers, they would have been incinerated beyond recognition.

Wang Xiaoqiang jumped onto the Patterned Beast's back, the beast issuing a fierce roar that threatened the six elders, then turning its body and flying away.

The six elders, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's formidable strength combined with a powerful pet beast, considered retreating. Just as they were about to abandon the chase, a voice thundered like a storm, "Catch up and kill them; leave none alive!"

Recognizing the voice of the Purple Sun Immortal, the six elders shivered in unison, their faces showing guilt. Without a moment's hesitation, they soared again, pursuing Wang Xiaoqiang and the six others at their top speed.

The cultivation base of the six elders was above the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm, their sky manipulation speed slightly faster than Wang Xiaoqiang's group.

However, the speed of the Patterned Beast far outpaced Wang Xiaoqiang's skyflight speed. While flying on the beast's back, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled Ling Xuefei, Zuo Dao, and the other four onto the beast one by one,

Enabling all six to surpass the speed of the six elders,

While fleeing on the beast's back, Wang Xiaoqiang did not forget to strike back; he leisurely drew the Sun-Shooting Bow, shooting one Immortal Liquid Arrow after another at the pursuing six elders. The elders, shielded by their Immortal Liquid Barriers, were not harmed, but their speed significantly decreased, making them fall behind by a hundred meters before the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Suddenly…

"Hey? Who is that?" Ling Xuefei pointed to a person ahead, calling softly, as they were blocking their path in the void before them.

"Ah, a strong expert of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm." Zuo Dao exclaimed involuntarily.

"Seems like the Purple Sun Immortal; I've seen him before!" The centenarian Tianhuo pointed to the person ahead and said.

Upon hearing, Wang Xiaoqiang turned his head—there in the void stood a person, barring the path a hundred meters before the Wind Rain Pavilion. Though alone, he emitted powerful energy waves, a vast and dreadful aura spreading out, sending chills down one's spine.

That figure seemed like a mountain blocking them from reaching the Wind Rain Pavilion.

"Why did you slay our sect's elite disciple?" Purple Sun Immortal spoke slowly, his deep voice tinged with anger and filled with evil qi.

"I am an Administrator from the Wind Rain Pavilion." Wang Xiaoqiang promptly pulled out his badge representing his identity, waving it in front of him. "Sky Obscuring Lord was our assassination target; the Wind Rain Pavilion kills, without asking why…"

"Why didn't you spare Elder Chu either? Was he also part of your assassination list?" Purple Sun Immortal spoke again, relentlessly.

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Anyone obstructing our Wind Rain Pavilion's assassination task deserves to die! That's the rule of our pavilion! Surely, you understand."

"I saw the entire process of your assassination of Yanw Zhetian clearly. Elder Chu, heavily injured by you, posed no hindrance to your killing of Yanw Zhetian. He could've survived, yet you insisted on killing him. As an Administrator of the Wind Rain Pavilion, where is your conscience?" Purple Sun Immortal rebuked angrily, "You have a vendetta against Yanw Zhetian, don't you?"

"When executing missions for the Wind Rain Pavilion, why should I need you to dictate terms? Out of the way, or I'll kill you too!" Wang Xiaoqiang, realizing Purple Sun Immortal saw through him, felt a tremor in his heart, and shouted angrily.

"Kill me? You're too tender!" Purple Sun Immortal moved his body, instantly teleporting a few meters forward, "Without giving me an explanation today, forget about entering the Wind Rain Pavilion alive."

"Then die!" Wang Xiaoqiang pulled the Sun-Shooting Bow, aiming Immortal Liquid Arrows at the Purple Sun Immortal,

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Shot two arrows consecutively.

The first Immortal Liquid Arrow did not carry lightning.

The second carried a streak of lightning. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
