<h4>Chapter 4959: Wretched ck Demon</h4>


    Those from the Zhuge n looked at the figure blocking their path with a mixture of unease and hostility. They recognized the person standing in their path.


    It was a renowned world spiritist of the Nine Souls Gxy.


    “Wretched ck Demon?”


    A deep frown appeared on the face of the Zhuge n’s n Chief. The person standing before him was not someone whom he was confident of defeating.


    After all, the other party was the famous Wretched ck Demon.


    “Zhuge n’s n Chief, it has been a while. I hope you’re doing fine,” the Wretched ck Demon said with a smile. It looked almost like an amicable greeting between two old pals.


    However, the Zhuge n’s n Chief didn’t let down his guard at all.


    “Why are you here? You have been eyeing our Zhuge n?” the Zhuge n’s n Chief asked.


    It went without saying that the Zhuge n had hidden their presence with concealment formations, but the Wretched ck Demon was still able to find them so easily. The only possibility was that the Wretched ck Demon had been eyeing them right from the start.


    “There’s no need to get so tense. I didn’te here to pick a fight. As long as you hand over Shengguang Guangyao’s treasure and Situ Qi’s treasures, you’re free to go wherever you want to,” the Wretched ck Demon said,


    However, that only led to an outburst of hostility from the Zhuge n.


    It couldn’t be more clear that the Wretched ck Demon came with malicious intent, so they wouldn’t bother trying to uphold civility with him. It was just that their overwhelming hostility hardly fazed the Wretched ck Demon at all.


    “Wretched ck Demon, Lord Situ Qi has only left the legacy formation behind. Lord Zhuge Guangyao was also only able to reach his level of aplishment due to his talent. I’m not sure what rumors you have heard, but I’m afraid those are all hearsay. Surely someone of your stature wouldn’t blindly trust rumors, right?” the Zhuge n’s n Chief said.


    “Zhuge n’s n Chief, there’s one thing you got right. I am not one to let rumors faze me, but that’s precisely the reason why I know for certain that Zhuge Guangyao did possess a treasure, and that Situ Qi didn’t just leave behind a legacy formation.


    “In view of our ties, I’ll give you a choice. If you hand over what I’ve demanded, I’ll let your Zhuge n off. Otherwise, I’ll ughter everyone here and find those items myself,” the Wretched ck Demon said.


    “Wretched ck Demon, we’re both rank eight Martial Exalted level cultivators. Do you think that I’d fear you?”


    The Zhuge n’s n drew his Exalted Armament and released his oppressive might.


    “Heh… Zhuge n’s n Chief, I thought that you were a smarter person than this. You should know that you aren’t a match for me.”


    The Wretched ck Demon burst intoughter, but his eyes were gradually turning cold. He released the oppressive might of a rank eight Martial Exalted level cultivator as well upon the Zhuge n.


    “Hmph!”


    With a harrumph, the Zhuge n’s n Chief shook the Exalted Armament in his hand and trembled the space around him, dissipating the oppressive might from the Wretched ck Demon.


    He didn’t just stop there. With the Exalted Armament in hand, he began charging toward the Wretched ck Demon.


    The Wretched ck Demon quickly drew his Exalted Armament as well to engage the Zhuge n’s n Chief in a fight.


    The two of them were initially emanating the auras of rank eight Martial Exalted level cultivators, but runes soon appeared on the body of the Zhuge n’s n Chief, causing his cultivation to rise to rank nine Martial Exalted level.


    However, the Wretched ck Demon was enveloped in ck mes the next moment, resulting in his cultivation rising to rank nine Martial Exalted level too.


    Both of them possessed means to raise their cultivation ranks


    The other members of the Zhuge n had no way of interfering in a battle of this caliber, so they could only watch from afar. They couldn’t see the details of the battle clearly, but through their sharpened senses as world spiritist, they could tell that…


    Their n chief equaled the Wretched ck Demon in terms of power. While both of them had different strengths, it looked like neither side was at an advantage. That gave them a sliver of hope.


    One must know that the Wretched ck Demon was famous, reputed to be the two strongest world spiritists of the Nine Souls Gxy together with the Sagacious Grandmaster.


    But of course, the Zhuge n’s n Chief was no weakling either. He was able to stand his own against the Wretched ck Demon and possibly triumph over thetter too.


    Boom!


    However, when a wave of spirit power began pouring out, the tides of the battle started changing.


    The Wretched ck Demon had chosen to change his fighting style. He retracted his martial power and began releasing his spirit power.


    His spirit power was violent and aggressive, and he was able to control it with great versatility. Using his spirit power, he was even able to tear through the Zhuge n’s n Chief’s powerful Exalted Taboo Martial Skills.


    Before long, he had already started to suppress the Zhuge n’s n Chief.


    The Wretched ck Demon’s spirit power had already reached a levelparable to a rank nine Martial Exalted level cultivator, and it was much stronger than the martial prowess of the Zhuge n’s n Chief.


    The Zhuge n’s n Chief tried his best to fend against the Wretched ck Demon’s aggression, but in a moment of carelessness, he was struck squarely by thetter’s formation. Not only was he sent flying across the air, but the arm he was holding his Exalted Armament with was severed too.


    Having lost his Exalted Armament and an arm, the Zhuge n’s n Chief fell into a severely disadvantageous position. Knowing that the odds were against him now, he performed a feint and quickly backed away.


    What was worth mentioning was that the Wretched ck Demon didn’t give chase. Instead, he halted his attack.


    The Zhuge n’s n Chief quickly retreated back to the side of his n members before reassessing the Wretched ck Demon with a grim look on his face.


    “You have reached rank nine Dragon Transformation Sensation?”


    The Zhuge n’s n Chief looked at the powerful spirit power enveloping the Wretched ck Demon with eyes filled with fear. He knew that he wasn’t a match for the current Wretched ck Demon.


    Based on what he knew, the Wretched ck Demon had reached a bottleneck that prevented him from reaching rank nine Dragon Transformation Sensation. This bottleneck was extremely difficult to ovee, likely to cap his strength till the day of his death.


    However, it was clear that the Wretched ck Demon had sessfully ovee his limits, and that was what surprised the Zhuge n’s n Chief.


    “Are you blind? Can’t you tell with your own eyes?” the Wretched ck Demon asked mockingly.


    “Who helped you?” the Zhuge n’s n Chief asked.


    “Help? What kind of nonsense is that? I made a breakthrough with my own strength. Why would I need another person’s help? I can tell you that this is nothing more than the start. Before long, I’ll be stepping into the ranks of a God-cloak World Spiritist,” the Wretched ck Demon spoke confidently.


    Those from the Zhuge n fell into despair.


    How could they not feel despair when they were faced with such an enemy?
