#73 - Chapter 73: Who in the world doesn’t know you?

You were in the Blood Demon Sect, searching for a "spot to bury a mine" to trap Demon Overlord.

Meanwhile, after nearly two days of travel, Demon Overlord finally arrived at Blackwater Prefecture from Sky Capital Prefecture.

The instant he descended upon Blackwater Prefecture, an overwhelming demonic aura spread across the sky and earth, the unique aura of a Core Formation tenth layer cultivator!

He wore a blood-red robe, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, with graying hair, but his eyes were filled with calmness, ferocity, and murderous intent.

His robe was stained with blood. In fact, his journey from Sky Capital Prefecture to Blackwater Prefecture was marked by continuous battles.

Lin Changqing was able to kill Demon Heaven, the number one genius of the Demonic Path. With such astonishing talent, naturally, some late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Righteous Path didn't want Lin Changqing to die.

In fact, after the news of Lin Changqing's appearance in Blackwater Prefecture spread, several late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Righteous Path rushed towards Blackwater Prefecture, hoping to stop Demon Overlord and protect Lin Changqing.

Unfortunately, Demon Overlord's ferocious power was too overwhelming. He repeatedly defeated several late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Righteous Path, fighting his way to this place.

After arriving at the Blackwater Sect, Demon Overlord immediately summoned several Demonic Sect disciples, wanting to inquire about Lin Changqing's whereabouts and whether his subordinates, the Seven Kings, had completed his order to kill Lin Changqing.

However, what the Demonic Sect disciples said next caused the face of this Demonic Path giant to change color for the first time!

"What did you say? The Wang brothers were all killed by Lin Changqing alone!?"

"Supreme Elder, this disciple speaks the truth. That Lin Changqing's combat power is indeed overwhelming. In the battle at Bright Light Valley, he broke through to the second layer of Core Formation during the battle and killed all five Realmen."

The blood-robed old man was Demon Overlord. His face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"This child must not be allowed to live!" Demon Overlord's eyes revealed killing intent. If he had wanted to kill Lin Changqing to avenge Demon Heaven before,

Now, it was for the future of the Demonic Path that Lin Changqing had to be killed.

Because Lin Changqing displayed talent that was too terrifying, defying enemies across four minor realms. Such talent was unprecedented in Azure Province.

Even in Central Province, he would be a genius among geniuses!

Just imagine, once Lin Changqing also grew to the tenth layer of Core Formation... Demon Overlord felt a chill run down his spine at the mere thought of this possibility!

Demon Overlord inquired about your location from this disciple. Because you went on a killing spree in Myriad Fortune Prefecture, it was easy for those who cared to find out your location. This Demonic Path disciple told Demon Overlord about your presence in Myriad Fortune Prefecture.

After learning this, Demon Overlord immediately set off for Myriad Fortune Prefecture.

Being at the tenth layer of Core Formation, he was much faster than you, arriving at Myriad Fortune Prefecture in just over two hours. After arriving, he immediately inquired about your presence in the Blood Moon Sect.

Twenty minutes later, Demon Overlord arrived at the Blood Moon Sect. Seeing that your face showed no fear and that you didn't run upon seeing him, but instead waited for him here, he was hesitant.

"Junior, you have quite the nerve, killing this old man's direct grandson and still daring to stay here?"

In the sky above the Blood Moon Sect, Demon Overlord stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Lin Changqing with overwhelming killing intent.

How could he not hate the person who killed his direct grandson? He couldn't wait to kill this little beast immediately, but he restrained himself.

He didn't immediately descend to the Blood Moon Sect because he suspected a trap. He carefully searched with his mind.

Demon Overlord suspected that the reason Lin Changqing didn't run upon seeing him was perhaps because other old monsters from the Righteous Path at the tenth layer of Core Formation were arriving, giving Lin Changqing confidence.

However, after a minute, Demon Overlord dismissed this suspicion because he didn't sense the aura of any tenth-layer Core Formation cultivators nearby.

Demon Overlord relaxed and stared at Lin Changqing with overwhelming killing intent: "Little beast, this old man thought you had some backup waiting for me? It turns out you're all alone here. Then you can die!"

Lin Changqing, dressed in green robes, stood still, his expression calm: "Demon Heaven once said he would kill me, and the Seven Kings also said they would kill me, but in the end, they all died miserably."

"I vaguely remember the way Demon Heaven knelt and begged for mercy before his death. It's a pity I hacked him to death. That feeling is truly enjoyable."

Lin Changqing's tone was very calm, but these words directly made Demon Overlord's eyes turn red, and he immediately rushed down.

"Little beast, this old man will kill you! Kill you! Avenge Heaven!"

"Then come!"

You deliberately provoked Demon Overlord in order to lure him from the sky to the Blood Moon Sect, where you had dug a pit and buried "mines."

Demon Overlord, filled with overwhelming killing intent, struck at you with a palm. You used the Dragon Demon Body Refining Art with both hands, and five Primordial Dragons appeared behind you, fighting Demon Overlord.

Demon Overlord was indeed worthy of being at the tenth layer of Core Formation, the top Demonic Path giant in the entire Azure Province. As soon as you exchanged blows, you felt his terror and power.

For the first half hour, you were severely injured and retreated, but this was within your expectations. You fought and retreated, heading towards the direction of the buried "pit."

"Little beast, where do you think you're going? Today, whether you go to heaven or earth, this old man will kill you!" Demon Overlord shouted coldly, relentlessly pursuing Lin Changqing.

Demon Overlord chased after you, and you retreated all the way to the main hall of the Blood Moon Sect, which was also the pit you had dug in advance. You had buried mines in the main hall.

As soon as you reached the main hall, a blue light immediately enveloped Demon Overlord. It was actually a formation to trap people. You trapped Demon Overlord in the main hall and then quickly ran out.

Looking at the direction you were fleeing and seeing the blue formation trapping him, Demon Overlord laughed contemptuously.

"Junior, have you exhausted your tricks? This old man thought you had some backup, but with just this formation, this old man can break it in three breaths!"

"See how far you can run in three breaths!"

"It can indeed only trap you for three breaths, but three breaths are enough." Lin Changqing flew away rapidly, and in an instant, he came to a place thousands of meters away. He turned his head, chuckled, and muttered to himself, "It's time to watch the fireworks."

In one breath, Demon Overlord struck the blue formation with a palm, and cracks appeared in the formation's light barrier. In another two breaths, Demon Overlord would definitely be able to break the blue formation, but at this moment, the blood-red Extinction Spear and the Ancient Jianmu Diagram, with three diagrams connected together, suddenly appeared in the main hall.

And at this moment, you, who were thousands of meters away, softly said a word: "Explode!"

A deafening explosion rang out in the main hall. Under your control, a high-grade Dao artifact, the Extinction Spear, and the Ancient Jianmu Diagram, which had already been promoted to a mid-grade Dao artifact, self-destructed at the same time!

This was your plan. Where would ordinary Core Formation cultivators have the luck like you to possess a high-grade Dao artifact and a mid-grade Dao artifact at the same time!

And more importantly, even if they did, they would be reluctant to self-destruct them.

But you were willing. To you, this was just a simulation. In the next simulation, you could still obtain these two Dao artifacts again.

"A high-grade Dao artifact and a mid-grade Dao artifact self-destructing together. Even if it doesn't kill you, it will seriously injure you!"

Thousands of meters away from the Blood Moon Sect, Lin Changqing watched with appreciation as the huge explosion shockwave rose from the main hall.

The aftershock of the explosion, which was thousands of miles away, caused Lin Changqing to suffer minor injuries. One could imagine what kind of attack Demon Overlord, who was at the center of the explosion, would suffer.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Little beast, you dare to plot against me!?"

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

Five minutes later, the explosion subsided, and Demon Overlord's shocking screams rang out in the main hall. He was still alive, but his current appearance was incomparably miserable. Half of his body had been blown away, and he was extremely weak.

You felt a little regret. After all, your realm was too low. The power of a Dao artifact explosion detonated by a third-layer Core Formation cultivator was still not powerful enough.

However, this was originally within your expectations. If you were lucky, you would directly kill Demon Overlord. If you were unlucky, it would be fine to seriously injure him.

Because…

"Old thing, kill me? You seem to be a little confused about the situation."

"Today, I will kill you and send you on your way, defying ten layers, establishing my prestige!"

Lin Changqing returned to the main hall and looked coldly at Demon Overlord, whose body had been blown apart.

The current Demon Overlord had been seriously injured by the explosion and was extremely weak. This was the best opportunity for you to kill him.

From the beginning, you had planned to completely kill Demon Overlord. The Dao artifact self-destruction was only the first step. If the Dao artifact self-destruction couldn't kill Demon Overlord, the second step was for you to personally deliver the final blow and kill him with your own hands.

To escape Demon Overlord's pursuit, what better way is there than to kill Demon Overlord with your own hands?
