Chapter 100 – The Return of Ye Kuang

As the voice faded, a slouching figure emerged from the deep shaded path.

It was none other than Ye Kuang, who had left only to return!

The three women couldn’t help but be startled, for they had failed to detect anyone lurking in the shadows initially.

Ye Kuang: “Well, if it isn’t the Celestial Maiden, along with the Witch and Shrine Maiden. As for this grandson—no, this giant stinking bug.”

The Red Oni General couldn’t contain his rage upon hearing this: “How dare you insult me!!!”

With a furious roar, a streak of crimson light materialized in the night, aimed directly at Ye Kuang’s head.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang shifted his stance, the rapidly intensifying golden radiance revealing his exact position.

Bang… Crash!

The spot where he had stood was instantly shattered by the blade’s gleam, stirring up violent winds that swept in all directions.

Yet Ye Kuang casually sidestepped, unhurriedly setting down his midnight snack as he chuckled, “No need to rush, you bug. If my snack gets ruined, who’s going to compensate me?”

Even as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the instigator standing to the side.

Shrine Maiden: “Giggle… Young man, why are you staring at little old me? You don’t think I had anything to do with this, do you…”

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but laugh in response: “Truly, meeting you surpasses hearing your reputation. When I first saw you, you were admiring flowers on a forest path—never imagined you’d be such a hidden talent.”

But his tone abruptly turned domineering: “Speak. When did you start targeting me?”

Realizing further concealment would only confirm his suspicions, the Shrine Maiden pretended to ponder before explaining: “To be honest, I wasn’t specifically targeting you. It’s just that during our first encounter, you struck me as extraordinary, so I decided to test you. Who would’ve thought my intuition was correct? Giggle.”

Ye Kuang grew skeptical for a moment but soon smiled again: “Oh? Then I assume you won’t mind if I eliminate this pest?”

Shrine Maiden: “Be my guest.”

Red Oni General: “Shrine Maiden, what is the meaning of this?”

When she remained silent, he redirected his fury toward Ye Kuang: “And you, you brat! How dare you treat me as nothing! Die!”

Ye Kuang: “How noisy!”

His expression shifted instantly—from playful mockery to frosty severity.

Simultaneously, the crimson light intensified as the unadorned Crimson Blade stirred up sinister winds.

In response, Ye Kuang expressionlessly extended a single hand, brimming with pure yang energy.

Dragon Claw Hand!

Crack!

Before their eyes, Ye Kuang caught the bare blade with his bare hand—his ordinary-looking palm now glowing with golden radiance, becoming indestructible.

It must be noted that having mastered the eighth palm technique of Subduing Dragon, his True Qi could now materialize internally. Not only could it temper his body, but it could also reinforce any part of him into a divine weapon.

Ye Kuang: “Fine blade!”

Then he added: “What a waste of a treasure—why not gift it to me!”

The Red Oni General reacted instantly, the blade suddenly spinning and vibrating unnaturally, breaking free from Ye Kuang’s grip.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang abruptly intensified his force, flicking two fingers to channel his overwhelmingly powerful True Qi into the blade, shattering its defenses as it surged forward.Even the path that was originally filled with gloomy winds had become supremely masculine and pure, making it difficult for ordinary evil creatures to survive.

Then, they saw Ye Kuang’s single hand repeatedly clashing with the blade edge. The scene of fierce combat made the three women watch with dazzled admiration.

The man and the ghost continuously countered each other’s moves, enacting a struggle for the blade.

The moment Ye Kuang clamped the blade between two fingers, he forced the Red Oni General to roar furiously: “Release it for this old man!”

“Hehe…” Hearing this, Ye Kuang let out a mocking laugh: “Just exert a bit more force, won’t you?”

Roar, roar, roar!

The Red Oni grew even more enraged upon hearing this. Gripping the hilt with both hands, he suddenly channeled endless Yin God power into it.

On the other side of the blade, Ye Kuang also infused it with supremely masculine and pure True Qi.

The moment the Yin and Yang forces collided, the blade gradually began to tremble. Whether in agony or ecstasy, it could only endure being tossed back and forth between the two masters.

“Damn brat, what will it take for you to let go?”

“What do you think?”

“Go to hell!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but laugh wildly: “That’s exactly what I was going to say. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one can stop me.”

But as soon as these words left his mouth, he couldn’t help but feel a deep chill.

Because it sounded as if he were indirectly saying: “Don’t, sir, hahaha! Scream, little beauty! Even if you scream your throat raw, no one can save you.”

The moment this thought crossed Ye Kuang’s mind, he immediately released the blade.

The Red Oni, caught off guard and exerting excessive force in the struggle, was inevitably thrown backward by his own momentum.

When he steadied himself, his expression grew increasingly vivid.

Ye Kuang, his face full of disgust, occasionally glanced at the Red Oni General with nothing but contempt.

Red Oni General: “You damned fool, you… you dare mock this Oni General?”

Ye Kuang: “Look at your wretched appearance. Why don’t you go home and take a piss to see your own reflection? Mock you? I only want to kill you.”

His voice was filled with unmistakable loathing for the evil ghost. Then, with a single palm across his chest and swift movements, a colossal figure coiled around him.

The scene was utterly breathtaking.

At this moment, the Red Oni General, blinded by rage, paid no heed to anything else and lunged forward in a flying leap.

Ye Kuang: “Heaven’s calamities can be avoided, but self-inflicted disasters are inescapable.”

As his sigh faded, his eyes suddenly turned fierce. He thrust both palms forward violently.

Shocking Hundred Li!

Roar, roar, roar!

Under the long night, a dragon’s roar abruptly erupted out of thin air, followed by the emergence of a golden dragon’s phantom.

Boom, boom, boom!

Wherever it passed, the ground shattered like fragile glass, exploding layer by layer. The raging power, once unleashed, was momentarily unrivaled.

The golden dragon not only pierced through the Red Oni General’s body but also centered around him, instantly turning the area within a hundred meters into a scene of chaos and devastation.

For a moment, fierce winds howled, and the ground split into fragments. The explosive shockwaves swept through the surroundings like blades of light and sword energy…

Only after a while, when the dust settled and the winds gradually subsided, did the figures of Ye Kuang and the Red Oni General reappear.
