Joan leaped with all his might, covering a distance of two strides. Sha Qian was directly within his attack range.
Sha Qian noticed his movement, but compared to the already exhausted Joan, Ye Mingshang posed a greater threat.
He knew quite a bit about this person; more importantly, having lived through long years, he was well aware of some secrets. Even though history had buried them, he still remembered the Killer Prince who was active during the Tang Dynasty and later became known as the Killing God in the demon realm.
Both names referred to the same person, who shared a common name—Ye Mingshang!
Although he did not believe that this person could have lived from the Tang Dynasty to the present, the mere mention of this name sent chills down his spine.
Moreover, the strong aura emanating from Ye Mingshang made him feel an impending sense of death.
All of this compelled him to take this situation very seriously.
As for Joan at his feet, he was already at the end of his rope. Even though his Soul Banner had been destroyed, Sha Qian could easily deal with him using only his own magical power.
With a casual wave of his hand, a surge of black evil energy brewed, resembling black flames. He flicked it towards Joan without even turning his head.
This casual strike was enough to finish off Joan, who was barely hanging on.
From hundreds of meters away, Ye Mingshang also witnessed Sha Qian's actions and was instantly filled with rage.
"Old Thief, how dare you!!!"
With a loud shout that pierced the eardrums, he drew the ink spear hanging on his back and hurled it with all his strength. It moved like lightning and thunder, resembling a giant arrow aimed at a city—extremely imposing.
However, despite its power and speed, it was too late for rescue.
Just as Joan was about to be struck by this dark magic attack, an unexpected change occurred.
The black strike shattered just twenty centimeters from Joan's body.
"Hmm?!"
Sha Qian was startled and wanted to turn back to take a look, but Ye Mingshang's throwing spear was already upon him, leaving him no time for unnecessary actions. The force of the spear was fierce and overwhelming, and he could only evade with all his might.
The ink spear, though a divine weapon, depended on how it was used. Although sharp and hard, it had not yet reached the point of being able to transform.
In close-range attacks, Ye Mingshang could change his moves at will, but in long-range throws, there was too much reaction time for the enemy. If the gap in strength was significant, it would be like slaughtering chickens; if both were experts, evasion was still possible.
Just as Sha Qian barely dodged this spear and was about to retaliate, a loud bang erupted beside him with immense force.
"What?!"
Sha Qian was taken aback and quickly withdrew. However, when he was about ten steps away, he suddenly felt a thud as if he had crashed into an invisible barrier.
"What is that?!"
Sha Qian exclaimed in shock; such unknown entities were the most terrifying. Being bounced back filled him with fear. He hurriedly gathered his magical power and launched an attack at the location of the invisible barrier.
Bang!
The black wave of magical energy collided with the barrier, which appeared once again before vanishing. The wave of magic shattered upon impact and even rebounded partially, causing Sha Qian some backlash.
"Damn it! I won't believe this!"
Sha Qian gritted his teeth and relentlessly attacked that empty space. Yet each continuous assault was repelled, unable to break through.
At that moment, Joan, who had been lying on the ground and was nearly out of breath, stood up. Although still somewhat weak, his momentum had risen significantly, exuding a faint sense of pressure.
"There's no need to waste your effort; not even you can break this barrier, let alone Wang Sijin."
Joan's calm words fell into Sha Qian's ears like thunder, filling him with inexplicable terror.
However, Sha Qian remained calm, pondering slightly and snorting dismissively.
"Don't believe me? Heh, it's no wonder. After all, at my level, I haven't been able to make you take me seriously."
"However, you still overlooked a certain power, The Power of the Laws!"
The Power of the Laws!
The last five words struck Sha Qian's mind like a thunderclap.
"Impossible! Even I have not touched the threshold of Law. How could a young brat like you possibly come into contact with Law?!"
Sha Qian was incredulous, and his disbelief was justified; after all, Law was an incredibly profound concept that most people had never even heard of, let alone understood or utilized.
Joan did not argue further but slowly raised a hand, his fist loosely clenched as if grasping something, then suddenly opened his palm wide.
Boom!
"Ah!"
In an instant, a powerful shockwave erupted, sending Sha Qian flying against the barrier at the boundary. The rebound from the barrier then slammed him back down to the ground. There were also waves of force on the ground; he did not escape pain just because he was a spirit and felt it intensely.
Sha Qian was momentarily dazed; since his death, he had never felt pain like this as if he were an ordinary person.
In the distance, Ye Mingshang was also startled and unconsciously halted his steps. He could sense that Joan was different; there was a powerful aura surrounding him. Even he felt an overwhelming pressure that made him feel unable to resist.
Joan looked calmly at Sha Qian, who resembled a lost dog, and spoke indifferently.
"Surprised? Well, it's understandable. After all, I'm just a young brat in my early twenties. Right, old man?"
Though not explicitly stated, there was an underlying tone of disdain and deep contempt in his words.
This kind of mockery was evident even to a child, let alone Sha Qian, who had lived for hundreds of years as an Old Monster. He immediately felt a surge of anger.
Sha Qian's body floated lightly again, not suffering any serious injuries. Although he felt some pain, this level of injury had little effect on his Soul Body.
Without surprise, Joan slowly spoke, "Are you curious? Since there's not much time left, I'll tell you."
Sha Qian listened intently, and in the distance, Ye Mingshang also appeared focused and curious.
"Contracts and constraints."
"What?" Sha Qian asked, puzzled.
Joan smiled slightly. "Perhaps you are more familiar with it if I say it differently: the power of contracts."
Sha Qian was first confused, then suddenly shocked.
"It seems you've already thought of it," Joan chuckled lightly, but a hint of bitterness appeared in her eyes.
"I exchanged sixty years of my lifespan for the annihilation of all life within this formation."
"What?!"
(To be continued.)
