"How is this possible?!

How is this possible?!"

The divine envoy of prophecy shouted loudly.

The voice was full of disbelief.

And also…

Fear!

It was a fear stemming from the most primal depths of his heart.

And also the fear he had always hidden on ordinary days.

Backlash!

"No! I…"

The divine envoy of prophecy wanted to call for help, but it was too late.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions sounded from within his body.

It started with his internal organs.

Then it spread to his tendons, bones, and flesh.

In an instant, protrusions appeared densely all over the skin of this divine envoy, inflating his form, even his head seemed composed of lumps of flesh.

And in such a state, this divine envoy of prophecy was not dead yet.

In the gaps between the lumps of flesh, his eyes were filled with pleading.

He only wished someone could understand him now.

But, the companions around were too occupied with their survival.

Whoosh!

With a sizzling roar, a 20-meter long, 2-meter high cone of flame suddenly shot out from the darkness.

The wave of fire rolled like dragon breath.

Vines and paper figures instantly turned to ash.

Even the two controlling divine envoys were instantly charred.

Even though the blood-red shield slightly withstood for a moment, it was swallowed by another cone of flame.

The two divine envoys inside were instantly turned into charred corpses.

And after losing their bodies, the spiritual bodies hidden in mid-air felt death approaching.

Without any hesitation, the spiritual body hidden in the night sky, failing to find Jason, immediately launched an indiscriminate attack.

Its translucent form howled mournfully to the sky.

Ahhhhh!

The air rippled with waves that spread in all directions like faint halos; touching such ripples, the charred corpses on the ground trembled, as if trying to stand up.

But the plants and trees in the surrounding courtyard that touched such ripples quickly withered and died.

The leader of the attackers immediately ran far away the moment the spiritual body manifested.

As the leader of this mission, he understood the methods of this divine envoy.

Different from the early ghostly spirits that had died before.

This divine envoy's talent not only manifested more but was more diligent; the released spiritual body wasn't just for hiding and spying, but also had considerable attack power, especially at the moment of death, even the grandmaster who touched the 'acupoints' wouldn't dare withstand it.

'Heavenly Sword' Mu Bai is doomed!

Even if he's not dead, he'll be seriously hurt!

Afterward, it'll be the time for him to truly strike!

With that thought, the leader of the attackers ran even faster.

Yet, his eyes were fixed on that empty spot.

He knew 'Heavenly Sword' Mu Bai must be there.

Although they hadn't found him before, under the 'Yin Wind Wail', the other would definitely show up.

Indeed, just like the leader of the attackers had predicted.

Jason appeared.

However…

The result was somewhat different.

Jason stepped out of the darkness, appearing under the night sky, with an expression calm and even somewhat leisurely, as if he were taking a nighttime stroll in his backyard.

Facing the charging 'Yin Wind Wail', he didn't even lift a hand, only moved by thought.

A silver strike appeared straight out.

The ripples that came face to face with this silver strike, like hot butter being cut by a knife, instantly split in two and dispersed, and the silver strike even swept through that spiritual body.

The wailing ceased abruptly.

The spiritual body trembled and was cut in half.

The next moment, it dissipated into the night sky.

The distant attack leader was stunned.

How could this be possible?!

How could a sword Qi slash the 'Yin Wind Wail'?!

This was the attack leader's first thought.

Then, a shiver spread across his entire body.

Because, he knew very well that to cut through the 'Yin Wind Wail' with sword Qi, there was only one possibility!

That is,

The 'Heavenly Sword' Mu Bai before him has truly stepped into that realm!

The realm known as 'Martial Arts Divinity'!

But wasn't that the rumor they spread?

How did it come true?

A ridiculous and laughable thought immediately arose in the leader of the attackers' heart, but then, there was only one thought left in his mind: run!

He knew very well that if he only touched the realm of 'acupoints', he could still contend with various secret techniques.

But, facing a true existence who stepped into 'acupoint' refinement, the realm of martial arts divinity.

Even if he risked his life, he was not enough.

Therefore, he could only run!

Moreover, he must run immediately!

Upon this thought, the leader of the attackers opened his mouth.

Hoo!

The gray mist he had swallowed earlier now spewed out of his mouth like arrows.

At this moment, it was as if a battalion of a thousand people was simultaneously firing a volley.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The gray mist arrows poured down, and Jason swung his fist upward.

Woo!

The wild wind howled!

A whirlwind with a radius of ten meters emerged out of thin air, and shot upward.

The pouring gray mist arrows were instantly scattered helter-skelter.

Not a single one landed near Jason.

The attack leader seemed completely stupefied, standing there motionlessly.

Jason stepped forward.

Just like the calm steps he took before.

His expression unchanged.

However, before he had appeared.

And now, he had vanished.

As if he disappeared completely from the world.

His aura, temperature, and sound vanished.

Transcendent-level 'stealth' and 'concealment' were executed by Jason to perfection under the night.

When Jason reappeared, he was already at the entrance of Cap Alley.

He lifted his leg and lightly stomped on the ground.

Bang!

The earth responded with a tremor.

The previously smooth ground of the alley suddenly wrinkled.

Like a pimple being squeezed, a figure was pushed out from underground.

It was the attack leader.

At the same time, the distant motionless 'attack leader' lost its skeletal support, and the 'skin' quietly fell to the ground.

Facing Jason in front of him, the attack leader felt a cold fear in his heart.

Is this 'Martial Arts Divinity'?

It's terrifying!

It's not his first time encountering dangerous moments.

As one of the Divine Envoys of the 'Transmigration Cult,' he faced dangers beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just like last time while collaborating with those barbarians, one of them proposed a duel with him.

The opponent was very strong.

Comparable to those high-level experts who touched upon the 'aperture.'

But in the end, he won.

Relying on the secret technique 'Shedding the Golden Cicada' and 'Earth Escape.'

And…

"Doppelganger Exchange!"

The attack leader muttered.

His entire Qi-Blood flooded his body in a unique way, then surged out.

The blood energy formed two identical figures to him.

Then, the three figures, wrapped in blood light, shot towards the distance like meteors.

In the duel with the barbarians,

He held back a little.

Now, escaping for his life, he dared not hold back at all.

He not only used Qi-Blood to construct identical Doppelgangers, but also directly burned his essentia, preparing for 'Blood Escape.'

Different from 'Earth Escape.'

'Blood Escape' is a technique that completely burns Qi-Blood, unleashing potential.

It allows a sprint of a hundred miles in just one breath.

It is the best secret technique for escaping.

Yet, it is also a forced choice.

Once 'Blood Escape' is executed, massive Qi-Blood loss results in severe injury, and if unable to replenish with Secret Medicine, irreversible damage occurs.

Luckily, he possessed such a Secret Medicine.

So, as long as he escaped,

He could survive.

Could even live well.

Might even fake death and leave the 'Transmigration Cult.'

Thinking of this, the attack leader smiled slightly.

Then…

He suddenly realized his expression was frozen.

No!

Not just his expression!

His whole body was frozen!

An unknown moment saw a layer of frost covering within a seven-meter radius of where Jason stood.

The attack leader, along with the two Doppelgangers, was frozen in place in a rather ridiculous posture.

As [Cold Breath II] dissipated.

Crack, crack!

Snap!

Three figures shattered instantly.

Two turned to nothing as the freezing air vanished.

The remaining figure was like a peeled-off garment, revealing a corpse resembling a dwarf.

Looking at the dwarf-like corpse before him, Jason furrowed his brow.
