As a result, with one grab, Jiang Shi directly created all sorts of illusions before his eyes, as if he was instantly in the Eternal Netherworld, with ghostly shadows, wicked spirits, and skeletons everywhere, densely packed, surging toward Jiang Shi like a tidal wave.
However!
Jiang Shi’s eyes grew cold, and with a swift grasp of his palm, he ignored all the illusions.
Bam!!
A muffled sound was heard, power reverberating.
The middle-aged man in the black robe’s expression changed slightly, his eyes widening.
His wrist was unexpectedly grabbed on the spot by Jiang Shi.
How could this be?
How is this possible?
"Nonsense! Who are you?"
Jiang Shi’s tone was icy.
"You..."
The middle-aged man in the black robe flushed with anger, shouting sternly, "Let go!"
Power throbbed from his body, his blood surging, directly releasing dozens of strands of dark force from his wrist, trying to break free from Jiang Shi’s restraint.
He never expected that his advanced ultimate skill would be resolved so easily by the opponent, and the spiritual attack contained within the Nether Ghost Claw seed to have no effect on this person at all.
Crash!
Boom!
Jiang Shi grabbed the man’s wrist, shook it vigorously, using the man’s body like a straw man, then slamd him fiercely to the ground, imdiately causing terrifying rumbling sounds.
Spurt!
The middle-aged man in the black robe spit blood profusely, his bones shattered, looking at Jiang Shi in horror and despair.
This is...
Impossible!
"Reckless fool, since you won’t reveal who you are, then just die!"
Jiang Shi coldly said, and after a swing, his foot stomped hard towards the middle-aged man’s chest, with his sheer physical strength of over 2.43 million, like a small mountain crashing down.
"No!"
The middle-aged man in the black robe scread in horror.
"Jiang Shi, stop!"
At this mont, the old Sect Leader Chen Xuantian shouted in panic and quickly rushed over.
Jiang Shi frowned, halted his foot, and looked up at Chen Xuantian with confusion.
As Chen Xuantian stepped out, two figures appeared behind him, a man and a woman, both of middle age.
"Old Sect Leader!"
Jiang Shi spoke.
"It’s a misunderstanding, they’re our own people."
Chen Xuantian’s tone was complex.
"Misunderstanding?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"They are... from the Celestial Demon Headquarters."
Chen Xuantian sighed.
"Celestial Demon Headquarters?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"Yes."
Chen Xuantian sighed, speaking.
"Are you Jiang Shi, the new Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect?"
The woman, with almond-shaped eyes, slightly raised her eyebrows, giving a naturally proud air.
"I am!"
Jiang Shi responded, retracting his foot.
The middle-aged man in the black robe quickly scrambled away, despite his severe injuries, and got up swiftly.
"Your strength is indeed notable, but only in this cage. Outside, you’re still too weak. At least, in front of , you are nothing. I could easily put you to death!"
The woman’s tone was cold.
"What did you say? A cage?"
Jiang Shi frowned, ignoring her previous disrespect, and instead asked about the word she ntioned.
"What? Chen Xuantian never told you?"
The woman sneered slightly, "This world of yours is nothing but an isolated cage used to exile criminals. Over countless years, this prison gradually beca desolate, evolving into its current state. Your Black Lotus Sect’s founding patriarch was ordered to establish it here, and every Sect Leader has to make a pilgrimage to the headquarters. But due to changes in the strait over hundreds of years, these pilgrimages stopped."
"What did you say? This area is an island?"
Jiang Shi looked incredulously at the woman.
These words greatly overturned his worldview.
Just how big is this world?
Were all these battles on just a small island?
"Interesting."
He stroked his chin, his eyes flashing.
"Jiang Shi, we are here by order of the headquarters to temporarily take over your Black Lotus Holy Sect. Please imdiately hand over all matters, as well as the Sect Leader’s Ring. Also, you have to be at the ready for orders for an important task coming up."
The other middle-aged man with a tall, slender fra, like a bamboo pole, dressed in a gold-embroidered black robe, spoke calmly.
"An important task? How many of you have co?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered, "Just you three?"
"Yes, just us three, but even these three are enough to change your world."
The woman with almond-shaped eyes said coldly, "A re Northern Zhou pushed you this far, a disgrace to our Celestial Demon Sect and the Celestial Demon ancestor. Enough with the words, hand over the ring and be ready to follow orders."
"I don’t have the ring, take the Black Lotus Sect anyti you want. As for , sorry, I’ve got my own matters to attend to and can’t follow orders right now."
Jiang Shi shook his head, walking towards Chen Xuantian, supporting him, "Let’s go, old Sect Leader."
"Jiang Shi, you dare defy orders!"
The woman with almond-shaped eyes coldly stated, looking sharply at Jiang Shi.
The slender bamboo-like middle-aged man also squinted, looking at Jiang Shi, "Jiang Shi, knowing when to yield is wise. I know you’re reluctant, but opposing the headquarters is unwise. Defeating Elder Liu doesn’t an you can contend with us. You’ll never fathom the vastness outside this world."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Shi paused, "I’m not resisting you; the Sect Leader’s Ring got shattered by lightning during my cultivation, so I can’t hand it over!"
"Still, you should follow our orders and cooperate!"
The slender bamboo-like man spoke deeply.
"I really have my own matters, can’t take orders!"
Jiang Shi shook his head.
"Pompous fool, Jiang Shi, you’re truly overestimating yourself."
The woman with almond-shaped eyes spoke coldly, gripping a stone filled with a powerful, indescribable force:
"Do you believe I can defeat you in one move?"
Swoosh!
Flicking her finger, the stone shot out, illuminating black light, carrying a terrifying montum like a teor, whistling toward Jiang Shi.
The space around seed to warp!
However!
Bam!
Jiang Shi casually caught the stone firmly.
All its force vanished.
Jiang Shi stood, solid as a rock, clutching the stone, speaking lowly, looking at the woman, "Defeat in one move? Don’t you think you’re dreaming?"
"You..."
The almond-eyed woman and her companions’ expressions changed.
How is this possible?

Again a two-in-one!
