They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 19 is truly a monster.

"It seems that my father-in-law is indeed ignorant and doesn't even know about my Mei family in Lin'an, who used the same methods against me."

Wu Cheng twirled the tree branch in his hand like a sword.

Actually, he had just learned all those moves.

In the main hall, he was not simply watching the show, but rather trying to understand the moves of the crowd.

It must be said that even third-rate sects have their merits in terms of moves and power generation techniques.

As expected, there are no bad moves, only bad martial artists.

"The Mei family?"

Shen Tianba's face was gloomy.

He had never heard of the Mei family of Lin'an!

If they could truly "fight fire with fire," how could such a family not be renowned in the martial arts world?

Moreover, Mei Gensheng's martial arts style is not simple. Even disciples who have trained hard for more than ten years in those sects would never be able to use it more skillfully than him!

So there's only one truth!

This person has concealed his identity! He is definitely not some bastard Meghan Markle!

"I never imagined that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; you are the hunter lurking in the shadows." Shen Tianba gave a bitter laugh.

At this moment, however, he transformed back into the kind-faced Master Shen.

"My dear son-in-law, I'll gladly hand over the key and map to Sun Lang's treasure vault, in exchange for my life. Is that alright?"

Wu Cheng was taken aback, slightly lowering the branch in his hand. "At this moment? Father-in-law, are you joking?"

good chance!

Just as Wu Cheng relaxed, Shen Tianba suddenly pulled out a short knife with his left hand behind his back, and with a cold wind, slashed it towards Wu Cheng's face!

This strike embodied sixty percent of his desperately gathered power and all the killing intent he had accumulated over decades in countless life-or-death battles!

Even if it shatters my meridians, I'll risk it all! This short sword, imbued with sharp blade energy, is aimed straight at Wu Cheng!

Even if Wu Cheng retreats, Shen Tianba can suddenly unleash his sword energy and cut him in two!

But Wu Cheng did not back down.

He stepped forward, slightly shifting his body to avoid the sharpest part of the blade's arc, then gently raised his left hand, his two fingers effortlessly gripping the blade.

The seemingly tangible sharp blade energy on the edge suddenly shattered like bubbles! The true energy transformed into fine streams of air that dissipated through Wu Cheng's fingers, without even harming a single hair on the back of his hand that was so fine it was almost invisible.

The powerful force of the blade rebounding made Shen Tianba's hand go numb, and he subconsciously let go!

The immense force caused him to instinctively take three steps back before he could barely regain his footing.

But the moment he regained his footing, his eyes widened instantly!

Wu Cheng took another step forward, loosened his left hand, and the short knife slipped to the ground. Then, Wu Cheng grabbed the hilt and slashed it horizontally!

The blinding blade energy was like a bolt of lightning!

The blade's energy also perfectly reflected the horrified and distorted expression on Shen Tianba's face!

"You...you...how...could this be...?"

Shen Tianba clutched his throat tightly, his bloodshot, terrified eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

That was his trump card! It was a strike he had honed over thirty years of rigorous training!

No one but himself could survive to see that knife wound!

But why did Wu Cheng stab him like that?!

Even better and more skillful than Shen Tianba's!

Why?!

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Wu Cheng. At this moment, all he wanted to know was why.

"So that's how it's used."

Wu Cheng's self-talk was tinged with a sense of sudden realization.

So that's how it is. So that's how he learned this move—because of what I just "taught" him...

Blood gushed uncontrollably from Shen Tianba's mouth, but he only smiled.

His trump card, honed over thirty years, that deadly strike—someone could use it even better and more refinedly than him after just one look...

That's a fucking monster...

Shen Tianba collapsed and died.

His face showed resentment, but in the end, all that remained was a relieved smile.

Wu Cheng didn't look at the corpse on the ground. Instead, he clenched his fist, then grabbed the tree branch and chopped it down!

A streak of light clung to a tree branch, carving a deep sword mark into the stone wall!

But the branches suddenly exploded into powder.

"Tsk, the sword energy can't leave the sword yet, so I can't unleash it wildly for the time being. Besides, ordinary vessels can't support my true energy. I still have a lot to learn..."

As he was mentally reviewing the events, someone suddenly jumped down into the secret passage.

Wu Cheng turned around and saw Qing Que rushing towards him like a wisp of green smoke, carrying a thin sword and her clothes stained with blood.

Her pupils contracted sharply when she saw Wu Cheng, and then she flashed to his side and quickly began to examine his body.

After a few breaths, she finally relaxed from her tense state.

Wu Cheng's pulse was steady and he was completely unharmed!

Then she glanced at Shen Tianba's lifeless body on the ground, her eyes wide open. She was slightly taken aback, but asked nothing.

Wu Cheng also showed concern for her, "Sister Qingque, are you alright?"

She was covered in blood.

Qingque sheathed the slender sword in the umbrella handle, then shook her head slightly, "It's all other people's blood."

"That's good." Wu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingque asked, "Your Highness, shall we leave through this secret passage?"

The woman from the Wentian Sect above was drawing their attention, so it was the perfect time for them to leave.

"Not yet, we still need to go to the Wentian Sect. At least there, the people sent by the imperial court won't dare to assassinate me directly. Besides, I also plan to secretly learn some of the Wentian Sect's skills."

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "So that Senior Sister Bai from the Wentian Sect can't die here."

Qingque frowned, "But the Lord of the Extinction of Emotions is here."

"It's alright," Wu Cheng explained. "Their target isn't me, and besides, I don't believe they didn't leave someone blocking the door on the other side of the secret passage."

Shen Yeshu had warned him about the poisoning that day, so the target wouldn't be him, or at least the goal wasn't to kill him.

But that girl was truly remarkable; she actually managed to guess that Bai Suying would poison him and then turned the tables on her.

She might even have secretly helped Bai Suyi.

"Let's go back and take a look."

When the two returned to the main hall through the secret passage, the Path of Annihilation and the Path of Burial were still locked in a standoff.

It was described as a standoff, but in reality, Shen Tu Lie was leading the thirty-odd masked disciples of the Burial Path, who were still alive, to be on guard against the two girls opposite them.

The Daoist Master Fei Yuan glanced at Wu Cheng, then continued to look up at the spider weaving its web.

Shen Yeshu and Bai Suyi both had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, but they were unharmed.

Various hidden weapons, such as lime powder, poison, throwing knives, and poison needles, were scattered on the ground around them.

Upon seeing Wu Cheng and Qing Que but not Shen Tianba, Shen Tu Lie's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Boy! Where's Shen Tianba?!"

Wu Cheng was slightly taken aback, only to see the withered old man with a face full of scars desperately trying to wink at him.

Ok?

Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "After I handed the jade and sheepskin to my father-in-law, he abandoned me and left alone."

"That damn Shen Tianba! I knew he had a treacherous bone in his head!"

Shen Tianba cursed angrily, then turned and cupped his hands towards Fei Yuan, saying, "Sect Leader Fei! Since I promised that the Burial Path would merge with your Extinction Path, I will never go back on my word! That old dog Shen Tianba is seriously injured and hasn't gone far! I'll go and capture him as a pledge of loyalty!"

He gritted his teeth, pointed at the masked disciples of the Burial Path, and said, "These disciples of the Burial Path will stay here and obey your commands, and serve as hostages! I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he grabbed his serrated broadsword and shot out towards the main hall!

The way they fled was quite pathetic; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were scrambling and crawling.

Fei Yuan didn't pay any attention and continued watching the spider spin its web.

Shen Yeshu's gaze swept over Wu Cheng's face, then turned to Bai Suying, "Fairy Bai, it's your turn next."
