The Demon Ancestor wore a robe of black outside and red inside, his mouth bared and his face ashen, resembling a vampire.
The Sorcerer looked at the two and smiled faintly, "So, you have someone backing you, no wonder you're so arrogant!"
Mingzhi Tian said, "Are you the Demon Ancestor?"
The Sorcerer, thinking he had intimidated them, said, "General Hong, this is none of your business, you should leave."
"One hundred million, did you bring it? Not a single cent less is acceptable."
Mingzhi Tian was a man of few words. He only cared about one thing: "I'll say it once, where is Qingcheng?"
The Sorcerer said, "Bring out the money, and I'll let you see her."
Mingzhi Tian said coldly, "I don't have one hundred million, but I can get your life for you. I'll say it one last time, where is Qingcheng! If even a single strand of her hair is missing, I will make your life a living hell!"
The Sorcerer's face turned cold, "Never... has anyone dared to speak to this ancestor like this. Demon Shadow Four Guards, go teach him a lesson."
Suddenly, four figures emerged from the shadows around Mingzhi Tian, instantly attacking him.
"Just a few at the eighth level of the Heaven Sealing Realm," Mingzhi Tian muttered, then unleashed his fists. "Qi Cultivation Fist!"
The four were sent crashing to the ground by the oncoming fist wind, unable to rise.
The Sorcerer was stunned at first, then scoffed, "Very good. It seems I must act personally. General Hong, I hope you will not interfere."
Mingzhi Tian replied in kind, "I hope you will not interfere either."
Hong Lie Feng could do nothing about them and retreated to the side.
Mingzhi Tian summoned his Profound Grade Divine Sword, while the Sorcerer produced his Profound Grade artifact, a Demonic Blade.
Mingzhi Tian slashed horizontally with his sword! It whistled through the air as it sped towards the Sorcerer!
The Sorcerer unleashed a wave of demonic energy with his blade! The two collided, and the Sorcerer felt some strain. Mingzhi Tian's seemingly ordinary sword strike was actually infused with fist wind, attacking like a two-move combination, carrying double the force.
Mingzhi Tian followed with over ten more sword strikes. The Sorcerer was nearly exhausted, enduring them all at the risk of severe injury.
But before he could even catch his breath, Mingzhi Tian swung his sword again!
The Sorcerer was no longer able to resist. He and his blade were sent flying aside, tumbling to the ground in a sorry state.
As the Sorcerer looked up, Mingzhi Tian's sword was at his throat. "You lost. Hand over Qingcheng. I told you, if even a single strand of her hair is missing, I will make you cry to heaven and earth and no one will hear you."
Terrified, the Sorcerer hastily ordered his subordinates, "Guards! Bring that woman out!"
Two guards immediately brought out Yan Ran Qingcheng, her beautiful hair slightly disheveled. Mingzhi Tian's anger surged, but he remained silent, which was even more terrifying.
Instantly! Mingzhi Tian slit the throats of the two guards with his sword. Even Yan Ran Qingcheng was shocked. What kind of terrifying power was this?
Mingzhi Tian embraced Yan Ran Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, are you alright? Did they bully you?"
Yan Ran Qingcheng shook her head, "No, they knew you were coming and didn't dare to do anything to me."
Mingzhi Tian walked up to the Sorcerer. "Since you recognize me, how dare you lay a hand on my woman? You're asking for death!"
"Thump!"
The Sorcerer, trembling with fear, knelt down. "King Shen Xiu, spare me! I didn't know it was you gracing us with your presence. Please forgive my transgression."
Mingzhi Tian frowned. "What do you mean? Is it because of this sword? However, I am not its original owner; its original owner is already dead."
"Shocking!"
The Sorcerer couldn't believe it. "You mean... you killed King Shen Xiu?"
Mingzhi Tian said, "Yes, and what about it? Do you want to avenge him?"
The Sorcerer repeatedly shook his head. "No, no, no. This ancestor... I am too happy to be anything else. Why would I offend you, Divine Cultivator Ming, for someone I've only heard of but never met?"
Mingzhi Tian said, "Come, let me ask you, do we have any enmity?"
The Sorcerer shook his head. Mingzhi Tian asked again, "Do we have any grudges?"
The Sorcerer shook his head. Mingzhi Tian continued, "Do we have any hatred?"
