Chapter 142: Eliminating the Evil Spirits
Chapter 142: Eliminating the Evil Spirits
Roar!
The Evil Spirit awakened, immediately unleashing a savage roar. Its shadowy form surged forward, like a tide, toward the shadow beneath Gu Qingfeng's feet.
This was the Shadow Wraith's ability.
It could hide within the shadows of others and even control them, turning them into its puppets.
However, Gu Qingfeng was not one to be easily deceived.
Despite his confidence in subduing the Shadow Wraith, he was not about to let his guard down, given the Evil Spirit's treacherous nature.
Gu Qingfeng stomped his right foot on the ground, and a powerful force shook the entire Demon Suppression Prison. A terrifying surge of vital energy erupted, and the Shadow Wraith, which had been about to invade Gu Qingfeng's shadow, let out a piercing scream upon touching the energy that resembled a blazing furnace.
The Shadow Wraith retreated, fleeing toward the exit of the Demon Suppression Prison.
"Think you can escape?"
Gu Qingfeng sneered and drew his Evil Slayer Blade, pinning the Shadow Wraith to the ground with a single strike.
The vital energy from the blade fell upon the Shadow Wraith like the sun melting snow, causing its form to gradually dissolve. The Shadow Wraith thrashed wildly, emitting shrill cries of agony.
Moments later, the cries faded away.
All that remained on the ground was a small pile of black ash. The Shadow Wraith was gone, its existence completely erased.
"The Evil Spirit is dead!!"
Gu Qingfeng's pupils dilated in surprise.
Even though he had anticipated this outcome, seeing the Shadow Wraith vanish right before his eyes still left him feeling somewhat incredulous.
The entire process of eliminating the Shadow Wraith had been smooth and without any significant obstacles.
But soon, Gu Qingfeng felt a sense of relief.
His life force had undergone a transformation, making him far more powerful than before. The difficulty in eliminating Evil Spirits stemmed from their high life force levels.
Now, however, both he and the Evil Spirits were on the same level.
Thus, the problem of their resilience no longer existed.
After slaying the Shadow Wraith, Gu Qingfeng quickly released the other Evil Spirits.
Sealing and suppressing the Evil Spirits had been a necessary measure, but in truth, he would have preferred to eliminate them entirely.
The presence of Evil Spirits was like a ticking time bomb, capable of causing immense trouble with the slightest misstep.
Even though Gu Qingfeng had put in considerable effort to construct the Demon Suppression Prison, it still had some hidden dangers.
Soon, the second Evil Spirit was released.
This time, it seemed to be aware of the Shadow Wraith's fate. As soon as it appeared, it had no intention of engaging Gu Qingfeng and immediately tried to escape the Demon Suppression Prison.
Unfortunately for it, Gu Qingfeng was ready.
Seeing the Evil Spirit attempt to flee, he immediately struck, subduing it with ease.
Next came the third and fourth Evil Spirits.
One by one, the Evil Spirits were released and swiftly slain by Gu Qingfeng.
To be frank, the Evil Spirits sealed in the Demon Suppression Prison were not particularly powerful.
With Gu Qingfeng's current status as an Ultimate Grandmaster, subduing them was a simple task.
Before long, all the Evil Spirits in the Demon Suppression Prison had been eliminated.
As he stepped out of the prison, he saw Hongye's serious expression. Her face relaxed considerably upon seeing him.
"Lord!"
"Alright, the matter with the Demon Suppression Prison has been resolved. You no longer need to remain here."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, and the other person visibly relaxed upon hearing this.
When the malevolent entity emerged, Hong Ye had sensed a formidable and threatening aura. However, now that aura had vanished. Taking Gu Qingfeng’s words into account, Hong Ye no longer harbored too many worries.
After Hong Ye left, Gu Qingfeng returned to the Forge Hall.
...
Now, within the Forge Hall, Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged.
"Slain the malevolent entity!"
"This means the path I’ve chosen is the right one."
"The reason why martial arts in this world struggle to flourish is that they are inherently flawed. Or, to put it another way, the creators of martial arts didn’t find the correct path from the beginning."
"As a result, while martial arts have been established, they remain incomplete. With the emergence of malevolent entities, people developed the profession of sorcerers to combat them."
"However, it’s clear that the existence of sorcerers is not as intended. They were supposed to fight malevolent entities, but the saying ‘the dragon slayer becomes the dragon’ holds true."
"Those who carry malevolent entities within them will inevitably be tainted by their power, leading to their inevitable downfall."
"Various reasons like these are the root causes of the world’s chaos."
"If martial arts were to rise again, and the malevolent entities and sorcerers were eradicated, the problems in this world could be significantly alleviated."
Gu Qingfeng didn’t consider himself a savior, but he believed that doing something for the world within his capabilities was not an issue. Now, he had the ability to do so. The fall of the malevolent entity was proof enough.
Of course, if news of his feat spread, Gu Qingfeng was certain that the sorcerers and the so-called immortal sects would be greatly alarmed. The creation of a perfect martial art would undoubtedly threaten their status.
However, Gu Qingfeng didn’t care about that.
So, in the days to come, Gu Qingfeng dedicated himself to fully comprehending martial arts, aiming to create a true and perfect martial art.
To achieve this, he summoned Gu Peng.
"Greetings, Old Master!"
"Tell Yang to gather all martial arts from various sources and send them to the Forge Hall. I have a great use for them!"
Gu Qingfeng said calmly.
Without questioning the reason, Gu Peng accepted the order and left.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng began his seclusion. He intended to collect martial arts from all over the world and refine them, using himself as a crucible to forge a true and perfect martial art.
Although Gu Qingfeng had already attained the realm of perfect martial arts, creating a new martial art was no simple task. "A stone from another mountain can polish jade," he thought. While the world’s martial arts were flawed, they still had their merits.
Meanwhile, Gu Peng rode swiftly to find Gu Yang’s army. Gu Yang had just led his troops to conquer Bannan Dao and was currently resting his forces when he saw Gu Peng arrive.
"Is there something important from Father, Hall Master Gu?"
Gu Yang asked. He knew that Gu Peng was his father’s trusted aide and had always been by his side. For him to come to Bannan Dao in person, there must be a reason.
"Reporting to the Master, Old Master has indeed sent me with a message to convey!"
