Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm - Chapter 538
Chapter 538: Destroying the Sky Demon with A Single Punch
The fifteen Demi-Saints of the God race, Demon race, and their vassal races quickly arrived at the Skyfire Constellation.
Even so, they were very prudent.
After arriving at the Skyfire Constellation, the fourteen other Demi-Saints entered the grotto-heaven item of one of the Demi-Saints, who was adept that stealth… that way, they could avoid exposing their exceedingly powerful auras, which would alert the human called Jiang He and allow him to escape ahead of time.
They needed to act like a hunter since that was what they were—approaching their prey subtly and taking them down with a single strike!
And yet, they would never have imagined that the position of ‘hunters’ and the ‘hunted’ had changed early on.
Though they wanted Jiang He dead, Jiang He wanted them dead even more.
In fact, attacking Skyfire Star was merely the bait Jiang He sprinkled.
And now, the fish has been hooked.
Even with the Demi-Saint Demon’s incredible stealth, Jiang He immediately sensed him when he stepped inside the range of the array that Jiang He laid out… and it activated at his thought.
The Demon was caught in the illusory array without sensing it at all.
And within the illusion, he arrived at Skyfire Star and noticed Jiang He’s whereabouts.
Whipping out his grotto-heaven item, he summoned his little friends and engaged Jiang He in a chase across several constellations, alerting the other Demi-Saints of the human race… but following a great battle that left worlds in awe, the Demon finally killed Jiang He with his own hands.
Hence accomplishing a great feat, he was summoned by the patriarch of the Demon race and personally instructed in their kind’s unparalleled techniques, thus becoming one of the peerless Demi-Saints across worlds with a single bound of 30,000 years. Now, his ability was equal to the Grand Mage of Xuandu, the Stoners’ ancestor and the Nether River Patriarch of Sura.
Then, another 30,000 years later…
He finally accomplished the final step and became the fourth Demon Saint of his race!
“I had never thought that I, Demon Nine Abyss, could become a Saint too!”
On that day, demonic clouds rolled above the Demon Realm.
Standing upon the demonic clouds, the Demi-Saint was overwhelmed by a myriad of different emotions.
And yet, he promptly came to a realization in the next instant and could not help exclaiming, “No… the patriarch had said that it was basically impossible for a fourth Demon Saint to be born in the Demon Realm… it is only through endless plunder to accumulate our depth that a fourth Demon Saint could be born among us Demons!”
As the puzzling thought arose in Demon Nine Abyss’s mind, the illusion before his eyes promptly crumbled.
He looked out to find that he was still in the middle of the boundlessness of outer space.
Before him, the battle waged upon Skyfire Star was infinitely violent, and he could even clearly hear the Skyfire King’s cries for help.
Whoosh!
The Demon Nine Abyss streaked through vacuum and warped toward Skyfire Star in a flash.
He was much more careful this time.
After arriving on Skyfire Star, he discreetly approached Skyfire Palace instead of showing up immediately.
Skyfire Palace was now in ruins.
The Skyfire King himself was maimed and on the verge of dying.
That human called Jiang He was standing with a cat and a dog amid the ruins with a cold look.
Searching for a precise instant for a sneak attack, Demon Nine Abyss managed to wound Jiang He critically with a single strike… since he attacked Jiang He with his Demi-Saint cultivation, the rest was history—Demon Nine Abyss killed Jiang He all by himself, even before the other fourteen Demi-Saints in his grotto-heaven item could make a move.
After that, he returned to the Demon Realm, summoned by the Demon patriarch himself, and was instructed in their peerless techniques.
Demon Nine Abyss’s strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he became the strongest Demi-Saint across worlds in just 30,000 years.
Leading the elites of Demons and invading various locations, they accumulated enough riches so that he reached the level of Saint in another 30,000 years.
“Hold on…”
Demon Nine Abyss suddenly shuddered as if awakening from a dream. He turned to look around and found that he was still in outer space, and that the distant Skyfire Star had already calmed down with no signs of battle.
A drop of sweat rolling down from his forehead, fear showed in Demon Nine Abyss’s eyes. “I am caught in a terrifying illusory array…”
He waved his hand, releasing all fourteen Demi-Saints from his grotto-heaven item and informing them of the situation.
Some of the fourteen Demi-Saints appeared somber, while others showed disdain and sneered. “Illusory array? Could it have been laid out by that human called Jiang He? Hehe… Though it was said that humans are adept at arrays, but how could we be stopped by an array laid out by a Grand Luo? Watch me break it with my godly technique!”
One Demi-Saint God stepped forward, divine energy rippling around his body and slicing toward the space before them through some godly technique.
Snikt.
The space before them was cut through, and it soon returned to calm.
And yet, in that Demi-Saint God’s perspective…
The space he had cut through did not recover.
He turned and waved his hand, leading the fourteen Demi-Saints out of the array through the torn space and charging into Skyfire Star, where they found Jiang He…
And the rest was a tale for another time.
Once the other elites realized that the Demi-Saint God was caught in an illusion, they promptly reached out to help…
Thus, more Demi-Saints were caught in the illusory array.

“Master, you’re awesome!”
Beyond Skyfire Star, Dumbo was holding the Skyfire King’s corpse and standing beside Jiang He, currying favor as he howled on top of its voice, “The God and Demon races keep bragging about how powerful they are, but a mere array left them helpless! You really are my master!”
Dumbo was much more eloquent these days.
It would spout all sorts of flattering lines whenever it opened its mouth. Even if Jiang He knew about its attitude, its words were velvet to his ears.
Trumbo was different.
The cat assumed the path of an old intellectual scholar, and never spoke much when it comes to flattery.
However, when it came to Jiang He…
It would naturally flatter him if it could.
After thinking for a long while, it finally managed, “Master number one!”
Then, lowering its head, it felt as if its lofty and unyielding character has cracked.
Be that as it may, Jiang He found himself surprised as well.
“Are the Daoist hearts of those foreign Demi-Saints that weak?”
He set up the array with the intent to delay the Gods, Demons, and their vassal races… he did not expect that the illusory array had already worked wonders.
“Oh, right…”
“They cultivated differently.”
“Human cultivators put emphasis in the Daoist heart.”
“The stronger the cultivator, the stronger their Daoist heart would be. Though the array I laid out would increase in power according to my own cultivation tier, but his four-in-one array would not have been able to threaten a Demi-Saint human… on the other hand, an illusory array was all it takes to catch those foreign elites in an endless loop… Eh?”
Jiang He’s face twitched then.
He noticed that a Demi-Saint whose appearance was identical to humans but aura resembling a Sky Demon’s had quickly broke through the illusory array.
“The Patriarch of Sky Demons?”
Jiang He had read about him, and was therefore able to quickly recognize him. Still, Jiang He was not surprised that he could quickly leave the illusory array he set up.
The Sky Demons were adept at bewitching a person’s heart, and were naturally gifted in strengthening their Daoist heart.
“If that’s so, I’ll start with you!”
A fierce glint showed in Jiang He’s eyes, and he pointed out from the distance—
“Death array, release!”
Boom!
In that very instant, fire ignited all over while waves of thunder cracked.
Still within range of the array, the Sky Demon Emperor did not even have time to help the other Demi-Saints escape the illusory array—his expression changed drastically as he promptly charged his godly technique and repel the death array.
And yet, a figure abruptly appeared in that array in that very instant.
It was Jiang He.
Striding towards him in black clothes, he laughed, “You’re the Sky Demon Emperor, right?”
“You Sky Demons are considered neighbors of Earth… we should be helping each other, but you decided to join the bandwagon of the Gods and Demons instead… are you not afraid that I would destroy your realm when I return?”
“You…”
“You’re Jiang He?”
The Sky Demon Emperor was at first surprise and then delighted, laughing out loud, “Jiang He, you dare enter the array?”
“Die!”
The old thing was quick decisive and ruthless. Without sparing another word, he promptly punched at Jiang He’s thunderbolts and trampled over the fire that threatened to destroy the world, directly unleashing a bizarre godly technique as he charged at Jiang He.
Jiang He did not even move.
With the Sky Demon Emperor’s attack approaching, he clenched his fist and turned his neck before breathing in and punching out.
Pow!
Still charging toward him, the Sky Demon Emperor was instantly punched to death.
