Chapter 382: Situation Swapped

“You are not Kong Yueqing, and this is not a technique of our Kong family.”

Kong Xiang was even more shocked than the others, though he was able to react quickly.

He could see that Kong Yueqing had fallen into demonhood, but he hadn't expected her strength to reach such a terrifying level.

He feared that he would absolutely be unable to cleanse the family lineage today.

Kong Yueqing was simply enjoying this moment of being the center of attention; she even commanded the endless tide of evil spirits to temporarily cease their attacks with a casual wave of her hand.

Here, she was the one and only Queen!

“Senior Sister Yueqing, why have you become like this? Have you forgotten that you are also a member of the Kong family?” Kong Yueling’s voice choked with fear.

At this moment, Kong Yueqing only wanted to vent, to show herself off, and to make everyone who had ever bullied her regret it deeply.

“Bullshit Kong family! In their eyes, we are all just disposable pawns, not even worth as much as a dog. Only by obtaining infinite power can one truly be oneself and make everyone look at them with awe!”

“It’s not like that. Junior Sister Yueqing, it is not too late to turn back. Associating with demons is destined to end badly,” Gan Hua interjected, trying to persuade her with agitation.

They had already experienced enough tribulations coming here; Kong Nian had turned into this state, and now was even she going to go astray?!

Kong Yueqing seemed to hear the greatest joke in the world, laughing with wild, sinister charm.

“Gan Hua, Kong Yueling, why are you still so naive? Look at Kong Nian’s current state—why do you think she ended up like this? In truth, she is no different from me; she just wanted to stand out and succeed. However, I have already succeeded, while she is about to go to hell to meet the King of Hell!”

What could be more pleasurable than watching someone you loathe die with your own eyes?

Blood slowly trickled down from Kong Nian’s clenched hands. A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs!

“Kong Yueqing, do not compare me to you. No matter what, I am the one and only successor of the Kong family. I will never allow myself to fall into depravity like you!”

Every word was spoken with heavy emphasis.

Kong Yueqing let out a few "tsk-tsk" sounds; nothing could provoke her anymore.

“Kong Nian, you are already on the brink of death, so why are you acting so noble toward me? Don't forget, you are also one of those abandoned by the Kong family!”

The surrounding exorcists listened to their conversation, every person's expression becoming extremely complicated.

Zhou Li and Ma Chulong’s faces were particularly tense. As members of one of the Four Great Families, their every word and action had a massive influence on the outside world. But the current Kong Yueqing and Kong Nian had utterly shattered the prestige of the Four Great Families.

They all knew they could not allow Kong Yueqing to continue her nonsense; otherwise, the fallout from the Kong family's internal strife would affect much more than just the Kong family.

“Kong Yueqing, even if you seek strength, you should not have chosen the heterodox path. Look at yourself now—how are you any different from these evil spirits?” Ma Chulong’s voice was heavy.

It no longer mattered whether he offended this woman; the fact that she dared to appear at a time like this meant she was likely prepared to go to war with everyone.

Kong Yueqing’s sinister gaze finally withdrew from the Kong family members.

She looked toward Ma Chulong and Ma Chulan, her entire being radiating an arrogant and unrestrained aura.

“Don't be in such a hurry. Once I've finished dealing with the Kong family, it will naturally be your turn.”

Ma Chulong’s brow furrowed, exuding an innate authority.

It was exactly as he had deduced.

“Senior Sister Kong, do you truly intend to break ties with everyone?” Although Zhou Li was young, his aura was in no way inferior to Ma Chulong’s.

His gaze was sharp, and the blood staining his face made him look even more iron-blooded and cold.

A single sentence was enough to declare the stance of the entire Zhou family.

With Zhou Li and Ma Chulong having spoken, the other exorcists were all filled with righteous indignation, whetting their blades and aiming them at Kong Yueqing.

Since Kong Yueqing had fallen into demonhood, she was naturally an enemy that everyone had the right to execute.

Far from showing any fear, Kong Yueqing’s expression became increasingly arrogant.

“Hahaha, all of you will die here today!”

Su Yan watched this scene with interest, observing Kong Yueqing’s lawlessness.

Either she had some sort of backing, or she had absolute confidence in her current strength.

“Has this Kong Yueqing gone mad? No matter how strong she is, it's impossible for her to escape unscathed under the siege of so many people,” Du Jinsong said, maintaining his composure, feeling that something was not quite right.

Zhang Ximing immediately reminded him, “Don't forget, there are still so many evil spirits here. Even if she doesn't act, she can wear us down to death using only those things.”

“To catch the thief, first catch the leader. Once we make our move, we must control her first!” Du Jinsong whispered.

Since Kong Yueqing could command the evil spirits here, things would become much simpler once she was captured.

Just as Zhang Ximing was about to nod, Su Yan’s voice rang out, “Do not act rashly.”

She feared that the two of them were currently no match for Kong Yueqing; rushing forward would only result in a meaningless sacrifice.

Du Jinsong and Zhang Ximing knew Su Yan’s capabilities; since she said so, they naturally chose to abandon their plan.

“Kong Yueqing, stop the nonsense. I will not let you leave here alive today!” Kong Xiang gripped his weapon tightly, thinking only of making her shut up once and for all!

Zhou Li, Ma Chulong, and everyone else revealed their killing intent toward her.

This aura did indeed bring a sense of pressure to Kong Yueqing.

However, Kong Yueqing remained unhurried. Wanted to surround and attack her?

In their dreams!

“Zhou Li, I didn't originally want to target you, but I didn't expect you to choose to stand with them. In that case, don't blame me for being heartless.”

Zhou Li’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned extremely grim.

Zhou Chong’s reaction was even more intense than Zhou Li’s; before he even received an order from Zhou Li, he had already taken the lead in attacking Kong Yueqing.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard; the first person to strike at Kong Yueqing should not have been a member of the Zhou family.

Watching Zhou Li and Zhou Chong’s agitation, Su Yan was reminded of the term "frantic desperation."

But Kong Yueqing had not yet said anything else.

Zhou Chong’s strike was a lethal move, showing no intention of leaving Kong Yueqing a way to live.

Kong Yueqing was shrouded in clumps of black mist, and that sinister energy transformed into sharp blades that blocked all of Zhou Chong’s moves.

“So quickly driven to anger? It seems your Zhou family is truly afraid that I will speak of those unsavory matters!”

“Witch, cease your nonsense!”

With a furious roar from Zhou Chong, his spiritual energy attacks poured out frantically as if he were risking his life.

Yet, even so, he could not shake Kong Yueqing within the miasma in the slightest.

Kong Yueqing truly experienced what it meant to possess the strength of an ant—except that now, they were the true ants!

“Overestimating yourself.”

With a sinister laugh, she used only a single move to strip Zhou Chong of all his ability to attack.
