Yang Sheng blocked the Azure Nether Sword with the shaft of the Soul-Severing Spear, and the immense force sent Yang Sheng flying.
But Wu Tianqing's body swayed, and just as he took a step forward, his head fell to the ground.
With a single spear thrust, Yang Sheng decapitated Wu Tianqing and roared, "Wu Tianqing has been beheaded, why don't you surrender?"
Upon seeing Wu Tianqing killed by Yang Sheng, the remaining confidants of Wu Tianqing instantly lost their will to resist and surrendered one after another.
Fei Zhongshu and Zhao Mingzhu, in their capacity as inspectors, were temporarily in charge of the Demon Extermination Alliance branch. Given their status and position, no one dared to challenge them.
"Brother Yang, you are truly skilled! Wu Tianqing's true cultivation was even stronger than recorded in the Demon Extermination Alliance's records, yet you still managed to kill him."
Fei Zhongshu's tone carried a hint of surprise.
As the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance, Wu Tianqing's strength and various supernatural abilities and secret techniques all need to be registered at the Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters.
However, when it comes to cultivation level, as long as you don't actively reveal it, no one can force you to say it.
Therefore, each of the leaders in the Demon Extermination Alliance actually keeps one or two trump cards in hand, which is an unspoken rule.
But Wu Tianqing left behind far too much. No one knows about his secret technique for transforming into a demon, which shows that Wu Tianqing had ulterior motives from the very beginning.
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "Wu Tianqing was too eager. He couldn't wait to defeat me, so he revealed his trump card too early."
Actually, if he continued to fight me, he could have held out for a while longer; he wouldn't have been killed so easily.
Fei Zhongshu was slightly speechless, unsure whether Yang Sheng's words were arrogant or modest.
After glancing at the Demon Extermination Alliance branch, which was in complete disarray and could even be described as utterly ruined, Fei Zhongshu said in a deep voice, "Brother Yang, now that Wu Tianqing is dead, the Demon Extermination Alliance branch is leaderless. Therefore, I have decided to recommend you as the branch leader. If there are no problems after one year, the headquarters will issue you a formal appointment as branch leader."
The position of patrol officer might have limited power at the headquarters of the Demon Extermination Alliance, but when placed in a branch of the Demon Extermination Alliance in the seven kingdoms of the Nine Provinces, its power is boundless.
They not only have the power to kill the leader in an emergency, but also the power to temporarily appoint a leader.
Moreover, any candidate recommended by them can be officially appointed as the leader after one year.
The headquarters granted them such great power because they feared that these inspectors would be easily bribed and corrupted by the local leaders. That's why they were given such great authority right from the start.
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "I have no intention of becoming the leader, nor am I capable of it."
I have the ability; I could even wipe out another Baishengshan.
But to become the leader, one needs to handle a whole host of things, and only veterans who have worked in the Demon Extermination Alliance for decades are qualified for the position.
Fei Zhongshu wanted to say something more, but Yang Sheng directly refused, saying, "Brother Fei, I'm not being modest, but I really have no interest in or ability to take on the position of leader."
Yang Sheng eliminated Wu Tianqing in order to control the Demon Extermination Alliance branch.
But the problem is that controlling a branch doesn't mean he has to become the so-called branch leader and deal with a whole bunch of messy things.
Since Wu Tianqing is already dead, the Demon Extermination Alliance branch is now leaderless. All I need is for them to collect inner cores for Jin Ding Zhenren in exchange for his trust. It won't take long, and there's no need to tie myself down with the position of branch leader.
Hearing Yang Sheng say this, Fei Zhongshu became even more determined to make Yang Sheng the leader.
At first, Fei Zhongshu also thought that Yang Sheng wanted to kill Wu Tianqing because he wanted the position of leader.
However, because Yang Sheng had saved his life, and Wu Tianqing was indeed wicked and had brought shame to the entire Demon Extermination Alliance, Fei Zhongshu did not say anything more.
In his opinion, it was normal for Yang Sheng to put in so much effort to get the position of leader, and no matter what Yang Sheng did, he would definitely do better than Wu Tianqing.
But to his surprise, Yang Sheng refused after he dealt with Wu Tianqing, and refused so decisively and directly, as if he had never thought of becoming the leader of the guild.
In that instant, Yang Sheng's image in Fei Zhongshu's mind became much more impressive.
