Chapter 364: Demon Soul Disturbs the City

Whoosh—

Nezha thrust his spear, as if a dragon emerging from the abyss, aiming to pierce the head of the ancient soul. In an instant, the ancient soul easily dodged, transformed his right hand into a blade, and landed on Nezha's back at lightning speed. The immense force made Nezha momentarily lose control and plummet uncontrollably.

With a loud bang, Nezha crashed onto a building like a cannonball, causing it to collapse and raising a cloud of dust several tens of meters high.

King Huangfeng's pupils constricted, hesitating to engage in close combat. Instead, he threw out his three-pronged steel fork with an unstoppable force.

Just as the three-pronged steel fork was about to pierce the ancient soul, the ancient soul suddenly struck back, swatting the three-pronged steel fork away as if swatting a fly.

This scene left everyone wide-eyed.

King Huangfeng, a terrifying powerhouse who had even defeated the Heavenly Demon Lord, still had an opponent who could contend with him!

Qin Jun couldn't help but gasp in shock. "Why don't you act now? This is all because of you!" he shouted at the old man who was still watching the show.

Startled by his roar, the old man shivered and then took a step forward.

Daji, Xiaoli, Wangxue, Youfenghuang, Chengyi, Danmingzi, and more people gathered in the courtyard where Qin Jun was. When they saw the ancient soul, their hearts skipped a beat.

The reason was simple—the image of the ancient soul, like black smoke, was too eerie.

"It's you, the one who stole from the Holy Court. You must die!" the ancient soul said coldly to the old man. If it were anyone else, they would have been terrified by its gaze, but the old man still wore a disdainful expression, picking his nose.

"Ha! What are you? It's no longer your era. Wandering souls and ghosts should be transcended!" the old man scolded, and a strong wind rose from his feet, making the tattered and dirty clothes on his body rustle. An invincible momentum surged from within him, leaving Qin Jun wide-eyed.

Was he about to unleash something big?

The ancient soul's thoughts were inscrutable, like a walking corpse, yet with quick reflexes. It immediately possessed the old man and charged towards him.

In the blink of an eye, the old man raised his right palm and struck upwards. The earth shook, a bright light burst forth, and the world changed color. The powerful wind startled Qin Jun, who instinctively shielded his eyes.

Boom—

The shaking of the earth sounded like the end of the world was approaching. Faintly, Qin Jun saw the old man's palm energy engulfing the ancient soul, soaring into the sky. Even Nezha and King Huangfeng were dumbfounded.

This old guy was actually so powerful!

After a while, the intense light dissipated, and everyone finally saw the scene before them. The storm seemed to continue from the courtyard into the sky. Looking up, they saw a huge hole in the clouds, shaped like a palm print, visible to everyone in the city.

"Is that a miracle?"

"My goodness, whose palm could pierce through the clouds like that?"

"It's from the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Could it be an enemy invasion?"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the palm print in the sky, even the officials guarding the city, including Chengyi.

Daji and the other three women looked at each other. It seemed that no one around Qin Jun was simple. Initially, they had wondered why Qin Jun was accompanied by an old beggar who hadn't even changed his clothes. It turned out that this guy was an extraordinary powerhouse.

Nezha's gaze towards the old man suddenly became fervent. A battle maniac like him always wanted to challenge strong opponents.

King Huangfeng, on the other hand, looked somewhat fearful. Despite daring to fight the Bull Demon King, it was because he had come to pay his respects to Qin Jun for the first time. The Rat Demon often bullied the weak, and in Journey to the West, King Huangfeng captured Tang Sanzang but didn't dare to eat him because he was afraid of the Buddhist influence behind Tang Sanzang. Even though he had defeated Sun Wukong, he was still quite afraid of a true powerhouse.

"Did you destroy the ancient soul?" Qin Jun asked in surprise, not expecting this unorthodox guy to be so domineering.

That palm strike just now was simply amazing!

The old man didn't smile but instead stared at the sky. "It's up there. This guy has become even stronger!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun became even more uneasy and quickly looked up, only to see a small dot growing larger. It was clear that the ancient soul was descending.

"The three of you, attack together and eliminate him!" Qin Jun gritted his teeth. The old man, Nezha, and King Huangfeng nodded and swiftly flew upwards to confront the ancient soul.

The ancient soul had already made its intentions towards Qin Jun clear, so he naturally couldn't let it live!

The three of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to collide with the ancient soul, like three meteors intersecting and striking the ancient soul, forcing it to defend itself.

At this rate, the ancient soul would likely be defeated soon.

However, Qin Jun's unease grew stronger, as if the scythe of death was getting closer to his neck.

"Your Majesty, what is that thing?" Xiaoli ran over, her face filled with fear, clearly seeing such an existence like the ancient soul for the first time.

"That's a soul that survived from the ancient demonic dynasty. It's very powerful," Qin Jun said, causing everyone else to gasp in shock.

Compared to the present, everything from ancient times couldn't be compared. Back then, the dynasties were much stronger than they are now because the Holy Court didn't exist yet, and the various dynasties fought for survival, naturally becoming stronger over time.

Compared to ancient times, the human race in the Southern Domain was actually quite peaceful under the management of the Holy Court.

Boom—

At that moment, the ancient soul suddenly raised its arm and directly forced Nezha, King Huangfeng, and the old man back.

"What a domineering power!"

The old man shook his slightly numb hands and muttered to himself, his face filled with seriousness. Nezha and King Huangfeng were also in discomfort, their blood and energy surging, so they hurriedly used their techniques to adjust and recover.

Nezha quickly displayed his three heads and six arms, causing the old man to widen his eyes in amazement and exclaim, "Wow, this kid actually knows this long-lost divine skill!"

King Huangfeng was the first to unleash the Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind. In an instant, the sky above the Shusha City was swept by the divine wind, startling the cultivators floating in the air, who quickly landed.

The raging wind blades ravaged the ancient soul, causing its smoky body to sway as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"What kind of divine skill is this again?" the old man widened his eyes, feeling a surge of shock and awe in his heart. It seemed that he had underestimated Nezha and King Huangfeng.

The body of the ancient soul was being cut apart, getting smaller and smaller. Before long, he estimated that it would dissipate into thin air.

"Hmph! In front of my divine wind, you still dare to be arrogant!" King Huangfeng thought smugly.

Countless cultivators in the city were excited. King Huangfeng's legendary victory over the Demon Lord Pingtian with the Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind had become a legend. Being able to witness the divine wind with their own eyes was enough for them to boast to their friends.

Just then, the ancient soul suddenly moved, as if it fearlessly passed through the rolling yellow wind and appeared in front of King Huangfeng, startling him with a rare expression of surprise on his rat-like face. [End of this chapter]
