Master of Strange Dao

This time the strike was truly ruthless, leading to complete annihilation.

The more ambitious a person was, the more ruthless they were to those who got in their way.

From the moment he entered, Yu Ziqing didn't take Dean Wu seriously, because from the moment he came in, he was already dead.

Here, Yu Ziqing had numerous ways to kill him.

This was just the safest method.

Even if the Heavenly King himself came and used powerful Divine Skills to investigate, even if they could see the scene of Dean Wu's death, Dean Wu would still be seen to have died at the hands of the Devilic Prefectural Governor Kang.

Yu Ziqing put down the teacup, and his aura began to rise, his face starting to reveal the hungry ghost form.

He stepped upward towards the sky.

Meanwhile, in Jiazi City, the old Yang on the ground sensed the emergence of the hungry ghost aura and immediately struck himself on the forehead with his own hoof. That terrifying force cracked his skull, knocking himself out.

Yu Ziqing ascended step by step, with each step his aura rising a bit.

By the time he was able to look directly at Kang Xiangyu, his aura had already reached the Ninth Tier Peak.

He had transformed into a skinny hungry ghost, with black flames burning on his head and Blood Flames flickering in his eyes.

Drops of black, oil-like substance dripped incessantly from beneath Yu Ziqing's feet, and the strange aura began to counteract Kang Xiangyu.

Feeling his power, Yu Ziqing became calm inside.

Rarely did he get such an experiment opportunity, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

The flawless White Jade, formed from Kang Xiangyu's life memories, Yu Ziqing never even touched it; it was just a backup.

The information he had now came from what Kang Xiangyu said himself.

When the intelligence Kang Xiangyu personally relayed reached the minimum requirement for drawing the sword and the rust began to fall off, Yu Ziqing stopped.

Because he didn't want to kill Kang Xiangyu at all, he wanted to try and see where the limit lay of the power gained after meeting the minimum intelligence required to draw the sword.

Now he knew, Ninth Tier Peak.

And clearly, the power of the Ninth Tier Peak was not sufficient to kill the now Devilic Kang Xiangyu, who had immersed in numerous Devils and stepped into the Tenth Tier.

The aura of the hungry ghost clashed with the Devil aura, stirring up waves in midair, with black thunder constantly appearing between them, only to vanish again.

Yu Ziqing gazed at the somewhat shocked Kang Xiangyu and laughed.

"Surprised, huh? Like I said, in this era, Devils aren't unsolvable. Prefectural Governor Kang, you must hold onto your true self a bit longer."

Yu Ziqing waved a hand, and a sharp claw formed, slicing through the sky and striking Kang Xiangyu.

However, that power only took away a large amount of Demonic Qi, having little actual effect, as Kang Xiangyu's injuries swiftly recovered to their original state.

Alright, he had already made his move, fulfilling the rules.

If the power wasn't enough to kill the opponent, it was no concern of Yu Ziqing's.

"Kill me." Kang Xiangyu stood still, not moving or resisting, forcibly suppressing the Devil.

"No need for that. I don't want to kill you, nor do I want yet another hero of Dadui to die by my hand. That feeling isn't great.

I've drawn my sword, but if it can't kill you in one strike, I'm compelled to resort to another method.

Did you see that Jade Scroll I gave you?"

Yu Ziqing grinned wide, his smile brimming with joy.

Last time, with just one strike of the drawn sword, the opponent couldn't withstand and had to be killed too.

But this time, clearly, Kang Xiangyu was too strong to be killed in one strike, which meant other options were available.

"I saw it."

"Then did you prepare yourself for what I gave you?"

"I prepared."

"Good, come on then. By the way, I have an identity, which is actually the hungry ghost recorded in the Jade Scroll."

Yu Ziqing stood silently in midair, waiting for Kang Xiangyu.

Kang Xiangyu waved his hand and set up the magic platform, where various items were already laid out.

He suppressed numerous Devils, walked to the magic platform, took out a bottle of Sweet Rain Original Liquid, poured it into a bowl of rice, and lit the incense.

He pinched the Almsgiving Seal with his hand and chanted the Almsgiving Spell.

The Almsgiving Ceremony began.

Yu Ziqing had never played the role of the recipient of Almsgiving, because he neither needed it nor valued those Devil Thoughts and didn't want to compete with the other hungry ghosts.

But he was actually a hungry ghost after all.

With Kang Xiangyu's Almsgiving, the Devil Thoughts on him were transformed into wisps of black qi, forcibly expelled.

As the sound of the Almsgiving Spell grew louder and more grand, the hungry ghost aura on Yu Ziqing also began to sway accordingly, using the power on Yu Ziqing to expel the Devil Thoughts.

Moments later, the Demonic Qi on him began to surge more fiercely, and the Devils began to resist, but it was useless.

Yu Ziqing personally took on the role of the one receiving Almsgiving. Unless those Devil Thoughts or Heart Demon could suppress Yu Ziqing, it was all in vain.

With enough Sweet Rain, a strong enough hungry ghost, and a completed Almsgiving Ceremony, this matter was without suspense.

Moments later, the Devil Thought, Heart Demon, and Demonic Qi inside Kang Xiangyu erupted, swirling outside him, converging into one, transforming into a Devil with a pitch-black body and Demonic Qi burning like flames.

Upon seeing that Devil, two words instantly surfaced in Yu Ziqing's mind.

Human Devil.

Devil Thought was the foundation, then transforming into Heart Demon, which was the normal path.

Heart Demon was essentially the same as Human Devil; it was just a different name.

But the original Human Devils weren't born from the Heart Field of humans, they were inherently Human Devils.
