Chapter Forty-One: Self-Sacrifice for Righteousness
"This is mine, don't take it from me!"Some cultivators hidden in the void, seeing the scattered fragments of the divine kingdoms, couldn't wait to snatch them.For cultivators who are not at the level...The oppressive, malevolent aura consumed everything like a monstrous beast, and righteous energy crumbled in its wake.
Before that sinister aura, Chen Shu was like a small boat on the verge of destruction, about to be swallowed by the waves.
However.
Despite this, there was no fear on his face.
“The Master said, ‘Life also is what I desire, and righteousness also is what I desire. The two cannot both be obtained. To give up life for righteousness! ”
His voice trailed off.
A more surging and mighty aura erupted from Chen Shu's body.
That moment.
That righteous aura, it has truly reached its peak.
"Today!"
“As long as I am here, demons and monsters cannot enter the capital!”
Chen Shuling rose with an empty step, that surge of righteous indignation was almost a physical presence.
>
With just one hand, he stirred the winds and clouds.
A sword that shades the heavens and earth!
As Chen Shu's large hand pressed down, the giant sword condensed from righteous energy crashed down with a deafening roar.
in an instant.
The thick aura of evil was torn apart.
Among them, a towering demon faced the descending giant sword with a deafening roar. Its sinister aura surged and collided fiercely with it.
Boom—

The space seemed to be shattering apart.
Two terrifyingly powerful forces collided, and destructive waves swept across the land.
>
Finally.
The sinister aura was torn apart.
The demon let out a shriek of pain before being struck heavily.

A major earthquake occurred.
Like a dragon turning over.
The ground was crisscrossed with deep ravines, as if they had always been there. As for the demon, it had completely vanished at this moment.
All around was a deathly silence.

Chen Shu fell from mid-air, her breath rapidly waning, and a few more strands of white appeared among the hairs on her temples.
>
"Chen Lao!"
The grey-clothed elder's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
Chen Shu's chest rose and fell rapidly for a few moments, then she waved her hand dismissively: "It's nothing, I won't die for now!"
As they were speaking.
He stood tall, his cold eyes fixed on the remaining three demonic creatures.
"What a noble sacrifice!"
"What a righteous spirit!"

"The methods of the great scholars at the Imperial Academy, we have truly witnessed them. However, with your current abilities, being able to counter just one demon is already your limit, isn't it We still have three demons here. How do you plan to deal with them"
One of the demonic figures, with a human-like touch, clapped his hands. His voice was filled with admiration.
The demon, who had directly faced the attacks of the great Confucian scholars and was already suspected to have fallen, showed no fear on his face.
>
Because he knew very well.
Now Chen Shu is at the end of her tether.

The great scholars are strong.
Nor is it truly overwhelmingly powerful to the point of being unreasonable.
To suppress a demon using its own methods is the ultimate limit.
>
Chen Shu's face was cold: "You can try!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Kill—”
>
That demon raised its hand, just about to join forces with the other two demons.
A voice, directly made them stop their hands.

"Both of you have worked hard, there's no need to sacrifice yourselves here. It's best to retreat back and rest for now. Leave this matter to me to handle!"
The voice had just fallen.
Two great scholars didn't seem to change their expressions, but the three demon heads paled visibly.
Eastern Edict!
As the arch-enemy of the demon race, Dongfang Zhao's voice is one they will never forget.
Since the other party took over the Demon Suppression Bureau, countless demons have died at their hands. And who knows how many demons were personally imprisoned by them in the Sealing Demon Tower
It can be said.
Many demons would instinctively feel fear after hearing the Eastern Imperial name.
“Imperial Decree from the East!”
The man in black, who had been constantly watching the shifting battle situation, let out a faint smile when he heard Dongfang Zhao's voice behind his mask.
Within the capital city.
There are two threats in total.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The first one is the monarch of Qin, and the second one is Dongfang Zhao from the Demon Suppression Division.
Although Onmyoji are all capable of slaying demons, there is a significant difference in their abilities.
"Now forcing the Eastern Command to appear, it seems that the Demon Suppression Division really doesn't have much depth!"
The Black Mask whispered to himself.
His objective this time was to seal the Demon Tower, and before he could liberate it, he needed to gauge the depth of the Demonic Suppression Division's power.
If the strength of the Demonic Suppression Division remains too powerful, there would be no need to engage in a direct confrontation.
But.
If the Demon Suppression Division still has little power left, then there's nothing more to say.
"The National Academy of Learning didn't have many great scholars. One went to Dayue, one went to Daliang, and if you include these two, there couldn't be more than two hidden great scholars in the capital."
“The Eastern Decree has now appeared, it seems the time has come!”
The Black Mask stood with his arms crossed, looking into the distance as if he had already won.
In front of the capital city gate.
The demon, suppressed by Chen Shu, crawled out of the ravine, its scales shattered and blood flowing, severely corroding the ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That righteous indignation, not yet fully dissipated, was like a leech, festering on the wound and hindering its recovery.
Upon seeing the demon rise, Chen Shu was not surprised.
Demons are difficult to kill.
Though I did my best and dealt heavy blows to the opponent, completely eradicating them is not an easy task.
However.
Though this demon wasn't dead, it was heavily wounded and its strength was reduced to one tenth of what it was.
It is now.
The remaining three-headed demons paid no attention to the severely injured demon, but instead turned their gaze forward, looking as if facing a great enemy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Within their sight.
There is nothing there.
With its powerful perception, it could clearly sense that a terrifying murderous intent was brewing, ready to erupt at any moment.
Click—
A ripping and tearing sound echoed through the air, a tempest arising out of nowhere, like a hurricane, sweeping towards the four demonic beasts.
"Oh no!"
"Hold it!"
The three-headed demon roared, each unleashing their most powerful abilities. Several waves of extremely powerful dark energy erupted, slamming towards the hurricane.
>
Hum—
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two forces collide, destroying everything.
The three-headed demon shuddered and retreated a distance, while the other demon that had just climbed out of the ravine hadn't even reacted before being completely engulfed by that force.
> When the wind and waves are calm again.
That demon is already completely gone without a trace.
...an utter silence!
Even renowned scholars like Chen Shu were deeply moved.
The Eastern Army is strong!
They haven't really gotten to know each other.
The opponent hasn't shown themselves yet, but even from afar, they effortlessly killed a demon. Even though the demon was heavily wounded, its power wasn't to be underestimated.
As the other three demons were astonished, a lone figure stepped out of the darkness.
Immediately.
...then landed steadily in front of Chen Shu and the two.
"Seen the Eastern Garrison!"
"Seen the Eastern Garrison!"
Both scholars politely bowed to each other.
Talking about status.
The status of the Imperial Edict is revered and cannot be compared to that of ordinary Confucian scholars.
Speaking of strength.
Before he even appeared, he wiped out one demon and forced back three others, a truly shocking display of power.
"Both of you have worked hard, go and rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest." Dongfang Zhao smiled faintly, his tone calm.
Upon hearing this.
They looked at each other, and without much ado, both returned to the capital.
The gray-clothed old man's consumption wasn't large.
But Chen Shu's suppression of the demon was already at its last gasp.
I want to fight again.
There is no possibility left.
"Dongfang Zhao, you've finally come!" The demon at the front, his face was incredibly serious, his eyes fixed on the person before him, not daring to relax even for a moment.
The other two demonic creatures were also on high alert.
Although Mingming had the advantage in numbers, they felt no sense of security.

"Demons and fiends are plaguing our capital, they must be slain!"

When Dongfang Zhao’s gaze fell on the three demon heads, his eyes suddenly turned icy cold. The hand he had been concealing in his sleeve suddenly shot out, and black energy swept across the surroundings like a hurricane.
In the face of this terrifying aura.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The pervasive evil aura was like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
It was printed by hand.
Even the void seemed to have collapsed in on itself.
The three demons' faces changed drastically. Without any hesitation, they all made their move at the same time, trying to counteract this force.
Boom!!
Instantaneously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The sinister aura dissipated.
The three-headed demon was struck as if by lightning, its body flying horizontally outward.
Powerful as a demon.
In the face of this power, there is no qualification to resist.
The scales cracked.
Blood flows freely.
As the Eastern Emperor's footsteps stepped forward, under the backdrop of black energy, he seemed like a demon god from the depths of the nine hells. His gaze upon the three demonic beasts was as if he were looking at three insignificant ants.

“With such feeble power, you dare to be so presumptuous before me.”
“Since there are no spots available in the Sealing Demon Tower today, then this deity shall send you all to the west!”
His voice was cold, like the icy grip of a December frost.
As he spoke, he unleashed another palm strike.
This is a simple example. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That palm strike.
Just like the nightfall, these three demonic beasts were powerless against this force. They could only watch helplessly as the palm descended, their faces filled with despair.
"Help me!"
"No—"
A powerful demon doesn't necessarily mean it is completely fearless of death.
At this time, the three-headed demon faced the threat of death and could no longer care about anything. It directly opened its mouth to call for help.
Next.
As soon as he did so, a gust of wind surged up from the ground and collided with his palm print with tremendous force.
Then.
A man wearing a black mask appeared before the three-headed demon.
When the wind died down and his hand fell, he reached out with one hand as well, meeting it directly.
>
Two palms meet.
The situation is collapsing.
The Black Mask man let out a barely audible hum and took a few steps back. With each step, the things beneath his feet turned to dust.
The Eastern Emperor retracted his hand and calmly looked at the masked figure in black: "This seat is still suspicious. With only a few low-level demons, what guts does it take to run rampant in our capital city It turns out there are powerful figures backing them up!"
The appearance of the man in black did not surprise him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From the very beginning.
The garrison commander already understood that behind these demons, there must be some other force at work.
Otherwise.
Four low-ranking demons came to clash with the capital, it's no different than sending them to their deaths.
