Chapter 667: The Battle of Righteousness and Evil
Blood Fiend, the most talented disciple of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, the proud student of the Yin Sha Old Man, possessed a terrifying demonic technique and was the most evil genius of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
Jun Moxi, the crown prince of the Dragon Mountain Empire, cultivated the Vast Righteous Qi, the righteous energy of heaven and earth.
The two, one righteous and one evil, were both incredibly powerful and were undisputed candidates for the top five spots. Their battle undoubtedly drew everyone's attention. The surrounding crowd stared intently at the battle platform, not daring to be distracted for even a moment. The most evil genius of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, Blood Fiend, and the possessor of Vast Righteous Qi, Jun Moxi, were about to fight!
"Vast Righteous Qi." A sinister smile curled at the corner of Blood Fiend's mouth, as if mocking Jun Moxi's righteous energy.
"On the Nine Heavens Continent, martial arts reign supreme, and the strong are honored. Where is the distinction between righteousness and evil? Whoever is strong is righteous; whoever is weak can only be bullied. They are excited and focused on you, not because of your Vast Righteous Qi, but simply because your strength is great."
"I know. But at least, those who cultivate Vast Righteous Qi are easier for people to accept and like than those who cultivate demonic techniques." Jun Moxi smiled faintly, causing Blood Fiend's expression to stiffen slightly. His words were correct, and Jun Moxi's words were naturally not wrong either. Although the strong are honored, he, who cultivated demonic techniques, was always feared by others. Of course, since he had chosen this path, Blood Fiend didn't care, only seeking great power.
"If I defeat you, there will be no question of liking or disliking." Blood Fiend's face gradually turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. He slowly raised both palms, and a terrifying aura of sinister evil spread out, making even the distant crowd feel their scalps tingle. This evil energy was uncomfortable and very unpleasant.
Jun Moxi snorted coldly, and instantly, his Vast Righteous Qi surged, rolling unceasingly over his body. When the evil aura seeping from Blood Fiend touched the Vast Righteous Qi, it immediately dissipated into nothingness, vanishing without a trace. Vast Righteous Qi suppressed all kinds of evil, erasing and purifying it.
"Righteousness? Prepare to be baptized by evil." Blood Fiend sneered. He took a step forward, and in an instant, his body vanished. A palm wind burst forth, and a terrifying evil, yin wind spewed from his palm, drifting toward Jun Moxi.
"Evil power will only be purified by righteousness." Jun Moxi stomped his foot on the ground, completely unconcerned with the evil energy on his opponent. Vast Righteous Qi surged forth wildly, its suppressing power radiating toward the evil aura. The evil aura instantly scattered in all directions. Within this evil energy was a thick corpse aura, like the stench of rotting corpses, nauseating to the extreme.
"Ugh..."
A wisp of corpse aura drifted with the wind to the edge of the battle platform. The people standing at the front bent over and began vomiting uncontrollably, feeling as if their internal organs were churning. Even their faces were gradually turning black, and their life force seemed to be slowly draining away, as if they were about to become corpses eroded by the corpse aura.
"Not good, this palm wind is terrifying."
The crowd at the front instantly fell into chaos, scattering in panic. Many frantically retreated, quickly leaving a large empty space in front. There, several people with weaker cultivation had collapsed directly to the ground, their bodies completely black. They twitched a few times before lying motionless, infected by the corpse aura and becoming real corpses, shocking the hearts of the crowd.
"What a vicious palm force! What a terrifying corpse aura!"
The hearts of the crowd trembled violently, their eyes fixed on the few corpses. Just being eroded by the corpse aura turned them into corpses—it was too terrifying.
Only a strong person like Jun Moxi, using Vast Righteous Qi to counter it, could remain unmoved and exchange blows with Blood Fiend.
Watching the two fighting on the platform, the expressions of the crowd changed. Besides a surge of excitement, there was also an instinctive awe. Such powerful strength, such terrifying force—they couldn't even touch it.
Booming sounds rang out incessantly. Terrifying corpse aura and Vast Righteous Qi filled the air. Between the two, two terrifying hurricanes shot into the sky. One hurricane was gray, the other golden-yellow. They sometimes tangled together in a deadly struggle, neither willing to retreat.
"This Blood Fiend's strength is much greater than Yu Mo's." The crowd's eyes flickered. Yu Mo had no power to resist against Jun Moxi, only being suppressed. But Blood Fiend could use his corpse aura to contend with Jun Moxi's Vast Righteous Qi, although the corpse aura seemed slightly inferior, slowly being devoured and purified by the righteous energy.
"Corpse Qi Blood Sea."
Seeing his power being somewhat suppressed, Blood Fiend couldn't help but roar in anger. Instantly, an even more terrifying corpse aura burst forth from his body. At the same time, his palms became extremely eerie, blood-red and strange. With every attack, it seemed to want to suck Jun Moxi's body in, devouring his true essence and flesh.
"Indeed, it's somewhat similar to Mo Canglan's methods." Lin Feng, watching from the side, narrowed his eyes. Back then, Mo Canglan had possessed the evil power to devour others' essence, blood, and flesh. Blood Fiend clearly had it too, and he used it far more powerfully than Mo Canglan ever had. However, his opponent, Jun Moxi, was too strong. His Vast Righteous Qi was impervious to all evil. No matter how powerful the demonic technique, it couldn't make the Vast Righteous Qi retreat.
"Roar..." A sound like the wail of a wronged spirit from hell rang out. The endless corpse and fiend energy all surged toward Jun Moxi. At the same time, Blood Fiend's flesh palms turned into blood-red ghostly palms, reaching out to grab Jun Moxi.
"Vast Righteous Qi, destroy all evil." Jun Moxi stomped his foot, and the rolling Vast Righteous Qi went wild, filled entirely with righteous energy. A golden-yellow aura turned into spatial ripples, madly bombarding Blood Fiend, purifying all evil energy.
"Boom, boom..." The sounds of terrifying collisions rang out continuously. The rolling Vast Righteous Qi seemed inexhaustible. Evil energy was purified, blood energy was swallowed. At this moment, righteousness could pierce the nine heavens. A holy aura seemed to emanate from Jun Moxi. The light of righteousness enveloped his entire body, as if he were the embodiment of justice, here to eradicate all evil.
"Terrifying power." The crowd watched Jun Moxi at this moment. He didn't use a second method; from start to finish, it was only Vast Righteous Qi. When a powerful force is cultivated to its extreme, it becomes a great achievement in martial arts. Jun Moxi cultivated only Vast Righteous Qi.
"Boom!"
The endless energy blasted Blood Fiend back. Finally, the boundless evil energy dissipated. Blood Fiend's face turned even paler, his internal organs trembling, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. But his gaze grew even more ferocious.
"Jun... Mo... Xi, forcing me to this point, you can be proud of yourself."
Pale as a ghost, Blood Fiend now seemed like a demon. An even more evil aura burst forth from his body. Behind him appeared an evil shadow, like a corpse. An immensely powerful corpse aura radiated from it, the evil, cold corpse energy seeming to drown the sky. Around Blood Fiend, ghastly white skulls appeared, shocking to the eye.
Ghosts. At this moment, Blood Fiend was as vicious as a vengeful spirit.
"Fiend energy engulfs the sky, corpse ghosts wail." Blood Fiend roared. Real corpse ghosts began to wail, causing many to cover their ears directly. It was too terrifying. On Blood Fiend's body, a sea of blood emerged, the corpse aura endless. Even the Vast Righteous Qi radiating from Jun Moxi seemed to be retreating.
"Die!" Blood Fiend bellowed. His body drifted toward Jun Moxi like a corpse. The endless corpse and fiend energy clashed with the Vast Righteous Qi. The crowd saw a hideous, demonic grin appear on Blood Fiend's face.
"Be destroyed."
An evil voice rang out. Blood Fiend seemed to become a ghostly shadow, losing his physical form. He drifted directly into the Vast Righteous Qi, penetrating Jun Moxi's terrifying power. His blood-red skeletal palm struck Jun Moxi's chest directly, plunging into it.
"It's over."
The crowd's eyes froze. Was Jun Moxi going to die? Was he about to be obliterated by Blood Fiend like this? Blood Fiend's martial soul had allowed him to turn into an incorporeal corpse. The crowd had thought the martial soul was only for releasing terrifying corpse aura.
"Do you have anything to say?" Blood Fiend's hideous face looked at Jun Moxi, grinning evilly.
But Jun Moxi's face showed no pain, only a serene calm, which annoyed Blood Fiend. About to die, yet still so composed.
"What I want to say is, you're not the only one with a martial soul."
Jun Moxi's voice slowly emerged. Then, a torrent of Vast Righteous Qi enveloped Blood Fiend, causing his expression to change drastically, as if even this ghostly body was about to be purified.
Looking down, he saw that his blood-red palm, which had pierced Jun Moxi's chest, hadn't drawn a single drop of blood!
