Chapter 1674: Yin Xu Zi

"It's said that Yin Xu Zi is a Dao Cultivator who cultivates the Devil Dao, he can be considered as a Devil Cultivator." Soon after, someone revealed significant information.

Devil Cultivator!

Everyone's eyes gleamed as they turned to look at the Pure Yang Shrine.

There were many Devil Cultivators in the Dao Martial Saint Land, but there were not many Dao Cultivators who were also Devil Cultivators.

Dao Cultivators were usually righteous, and they take pride in being righteous. Due to this reason, it was rare for Devil Cultivators to also be Dao Cultivators. However, just because it was rare, it did not mean there was none.

The Dao Martial Saint Land was vast, and it was rare to find someone who was both a Dao and Devil Cultivator, but it did not mean they did not exist.

However, in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, especially among the middle-aged generation, as far as the people knew, there was only one person who was both a Dao and Devil Cultivator. That person was none other than Pure Yang Shrine's Yin Xu Zi.

"You're Yin Xu Zi?" A hint of dread flashed past in Xu Gang's eyes when he saw the young Taoist priest who walked out from the group of Pure Yang Shrine's people.

The young Taoist priest stood close to Xu Gang in front of him. They stood opposite each other as Yin Xu Zi answered nonchalantly, "That's right. I'm Yin Xu Zi."

The moment the young Taoist priest admitted he was Yin Xu Zi, the place burst into an uproar. Majority of the people, including the nine Ring Masters who were standing on the other nine chess pieces, shifted their attention to him.

"He's really Yin Xu Zi!"

"The only Dao Cultivator who cultivates the Devil Dao among the middle-aged generation in our Rising Sky Mansion's district!"

"It's said that a Dao Cultivator who cultivates the Devil Dao is even more horrifying than a Martial Cultivator who cultivates Devil Dao!"

...

Most of the people present on the scene stared at Yin Xu Zi intently. They were eager to see him make his move.

'A Dao Cultivator who cultivates the Devil Dao? Interesting...' Duan Ling Tian was curious as well as he looked at Yin Xu Zi.

This was not his first day on the Dao Martial Saint Land. Naturally, he knew Dao Cultivators who cultivated the Devil Dao in the Dao Martial Saint Land were rare. It was so rare that Yin Xu Zi was the first Dao Cultivator who cultivated the Devil Dao that he had met.

Previously, although he had encountered many Devil Cultivators, all of the Devil Cultivators were Martial Cultivators. None of them was a Dao Cultivator.

"You're the disciple of the Rising Sky Mansion so I won't kill you... However, if you don't want to get hurt, it's better for you to surrender as soon as possible," Yin Xu Zi said as he looked at Xu Gang indifferently. His tone was filled with disdain.

As a Devil Cultivator, Yin Xu Zi usually would not hold back unless he was faced with someone from his sect. However, since Xu Gang was from the fourth-rate force, the Rising Sky Mansion, he had no choice but to show mercy unless he was not afraid of dragging the Pure Yang Shrine down with him.

Perhaps, the Rising Sky Mansion might not do anything to him since death was allowed in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. However, who knew if after the battle had ended, the Rising Sky Mansion might find ways to trouble the Pure Yang Shrine?

As a fifth-rate force, the Pure Yang Shrine was powerless to fight against a fourth-rate force like the Rising Sky Mansion.

"There's no such thing as 'surrender' in my dictionary!" Xu Gang shouted furiously when he heard Yin Xu Zi's tone that was filled with disdain.

"Oh?" The fact that a Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator dared to shout so loudly in front of him brought out the ruthlessness of the Devil Cultivator in Yin Xu Zi. His eyes gleamed coldly before it began to turn red.

"Yin Xu Zi, make sure you show some mercy." At this moment, Jing Xu Zi reminded him through Voice Transmission.

At the same time, other people from the Pure Yang Shrine reminded him through Voice Transmission as well.

They were very clear about Yin Xu Zi's temper. If his temper flared up, he would no longer care about the consequences.

Let alone a fourth-rate force, even if it was a quasi third-rate force, he would still not care once his temper flared up.

However, now that the group of Pure Yang Shrine's people reminded him through Voice Transmission, Yin Xu Zi regained his senses and the red in his eyes began to fade. However, his eyes still gleamed coldly when he looked at Xu Gang.

"You should count yourself lucky... If you're not a disciple from the Rising Sky Mansion, you'll turn into a corpse in just a short while!" Based on Yin Xu Zi's words, it was obvious he meant it was easy for him if he wanted to kill Xu Gang.

"We'll see if you have the capability to kill me or not!" Xu Gang snorted.

Although Xu Gang was only a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, his strength was comparable to an ordinary Early Refined Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator in the Rising Sky Mansion. It might be difficult for him to defeat Yin Xu Zi, but he could still hold his ground for a long time.

Due to this reason, when Yin Xu Zi just stepped into the ring, although he knew he would most likely be defeated, he did not intend to retreat or surrender.

He was the disciple of the Rising Sky Mansion. Even if he lost, he would lose in a righteous manner. He would fight with all his might until the very end. Only then would he not taint the good name of the Rising Sky Mansion!

"Tsk tsk... You'll know soon enough!" Yin Xu Zi chuckled coldly. His chuckles raised goosebumps on the others.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

The moment his words left his mouth, a gust of cold wind began to blow in within a 100-meter radius around him. Bleak screams and cries could be heard in the wind, causing goosebumps to rise in the others again when they heard it.

Then, under the watchful eyes of others, in the Territory that Yin Xu Zi consolidated, a few skeletons began to appear. Black snakes with gleaming dark green eyes slithered out of the skeletons. It was a revolting sight, eliciting terror from the spectators.

Usually, they would not feel anything if they witnessed such a scene. However, the aura from Yin Xu Zi's Territory seemed to bring out the fear in them.

Naturally, those who felt fear were the ones with a weaker cultivation base.

"You have Territory, and so do I! Dismiss!" When Xu Gang saw the Territory Yin Xu Zi consolidated using his True Origin, he did not stand by idly. In just an instant, he mobilized the True Origin in his body and the sky within a 100-meter radius of him began to quake.

However, before his Territory could fully take form, Yin Xu Zi chuckled coldly again. "You're merely a Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, and you want to consolidate your Territory in front of me! How naive!"

As Yin Xu Zi spoke, his Territory in within a 100-meter radius shook suddenly.

Then, the snakes with gleaming dark green eyes slithering around the skeletons rushed out. They landed on Xu Gang whose Territory had yet to fully form before it finally shattered.

As Xu Gang's Territory shattered, Yin Xu Zi raised his hand before it trembled.

At this moment, the sleeve of his dopo fluttered as though it was being blown by a gust of wind. Then, it moved and twirled, creating the sound of wind whistling. Soon after, a mini tornado could be seen charging at Xu Gang's face. The tornado was laced with a black mist.

The black mist was similar to the black mist shrouding the snakes earlier. They were the symbol of a Devil Cultivator.

Bang!

A loud explosion reverberated in the air. Before Xu Gang could react, a gust of energy that made him feel despair hit his body and sent him flying.

Barf!

Xu Gang who was sent flying opened his mouth and threw up a mouthful of blood. His body was unsteady as he forced himself to hover in the air with great difficulty.

Judging by the way he was panting, it was obvious he could no longer continue the battle.

"I've lost." Xu Gang finally regained his senses after taking a deep breath. Hints of dread could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Yin Xu Zi.

At this moment, he finally realized the strength of an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivator in the Rising Sky Mansion could not be compared to Yin Xu Zi at all.

He could still deal with the former even though it was difficult. However, he was instantly overpowered by Yin Xu Zi as soon as he made his move.

"He won so quickly?" This scene had taken the spectators by surprise.

Although they already knew the outcome of the battle since it was a duel between a Pristine Saint Stage powerhouse and Refined Saint Stage powerhouse, they did not expect the duel to end so quickly. No matter what, Xu Gang was the strongest person below the Refined Saint Stage in the Rising Sky Mansion. Even if he could not defeat an ordinary Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, he could at least hold his ground for quite a while.

However, in front of Yin Xu Zi, he could not even form his Territory. He was heavily injured with just one blow.
