Chapter 140 - 140: Who Else Will You Fight For? 1
Boom!
Spiritual Qi gushed outwards, and the Golden Dragon Sword slashed out a sharp sword qi. The pillars and walls inside the elegant room instantly shattered, and the broken wooden pieces fell from the sky. The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of the lurking people outside.
Yinxu Prefecture’s three commanding officers heard the commotion and immediately led the Flame Armor Army to rush over without any hesitation.
However, as soon as they took action, they were intercepted by the Qin family and the Lingxiao Sect forces. Mu Yuntao led the Sect’s disciples to launch an attack and fought with the Flame Armor Army.
Rumble rumble rumble-
Explosion sounds rang one after another, and the scorching firelight released brilliant fireworks. Under the night sky, people around Jinhe Tower looked over in terror.
“The fight has started!”
“It’s Jinhe Tower, the Qin family, and the City Lord’s forces!”
From the higher sky of the dark night, a figure with a thick aura stepped through the air, quickly approaching Jinhe Tower but was stopped by a sharp sword aura.
“Lingxiao Sect is handling this matter; idlers are not allowed to approach.” Jin
Tianxia held a sharp sword,
calmly looked at the other party, “Deng Taiqing, it’s been decades, and your cultivation has not progressed a single step.”
“Jin Tianxia.” Deng Taiqing wore a gray robe and held a three-foot-long wooden ruler, not saying much. He swung the wooden ruler in the air, and it transformed into a crescent-shaped arc and flew out.
“Hmph.’
Jin Tianxia casually swung his sword, and the power of the sword aura melted the crescent. The collision caused a bright light to spread out under the night sky. At the same time, Jin Tianxia formed hand signs, and the spiritual qi turned along with it, forming a giant water dragon in the sky behind him.
The water dragon flew out, like a Flood Dragon soaring through the clouds, its momentum astonishing.
Deng Taiqing pointed his wooden ruler into the void, and flames surrounded it, transforming into a fiery-red lion beast. The lion beast was engulfed in raging flames as it fiercely charged at the water dragon. The red and blue intertwined and fought in the air, and the powerful aura spread out, startling the loose cultivators around.
“Soul Fighting? A Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse?!”
Soul Fighting, also known as using the support of one’s Divine Sense to transform and fight with spiritual beasts, is a competition between the power of Divine Sense and the comprehension of Intent.
To achieve this level, one must reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
There were not many Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses in Yinxu Prefecture, but those of this level rarely took action.
At this moment, the clash between the two Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses could not have been caused by any ordinary loose cultivators.
Boom!
Another explosion sounded from the third floor of Jinhe Tower.
Next, a figure flew out, drawing an arc in the air before landing. Jin Tianfeng looked disheveled; a tri-color light enveloped him, barely protecting his life.
Jin Tianfeng crawled out of the pit and immediately wanted to escape, but a domineering aura fell from the sky.
Swish swish swish-
Qin Changqing slashed down from above, and his sword light injured Jin Tianfeng but was not enough to be fatal. The latter carried defensive magical treasures on him, and they were not of a low level.
Rumble!
The Golden Dragon Sword pierced the ground, causing a tremendous noise. Qin Changqing then lifted it forcefully, sending pieces of the ground flying like wooden planks. Amidst the explosion, Jin Tianfeng was flung out and rolled on the ground. He stood up and roared, “Qin Changqing, do you really want to be so ruthless!”
Qin Changqing’s voice was cold, “When you made a move against my Qin family, did you ever think of this day? What’s wrong with me being ruthless? From today on, there will be no more Jin family in Yinxu Prefecture!
“It’s you who is courting death!” Jin Tianfeng could no longer care about anything else. He took advantage of the last bit of elixir’s effects and pulled out a black chess piece from his Storage Bag to unfold it.
Splash!
The black flag fluttered, and bursts of cold wind erupted, causing the air to turn icy.
Qin Changqing raised his eyebrows. He knew that Jin Tianfeng, as the City Lord, must have his own trump cards.
But this thing seemed like something not from the righteous path.
“An item of evil cultivation?”
Qin Changqing sensed a strong smell of blood from the cold wind, and it was as if countless vengeful souls were breaking free from hell to attack him ferociously.
“Sacrifice!” Jin Tianfeng uttered a single word.The sinister wind transformed into a strong deathly aura, enveloping the entire street where Jinhe Tower was located. Ghosts and demons wailed within the thick black fog, as if hell had descended upon the mortal world.
Qin Changqing, caught in the midst of it all, felt his divine consciousness being strongly pulled, with strange crying and laughing sounds ringing in his ears.
“Qin Changqing, you are doomed!” Jin Tianfeng roared and lunged at him with a sword.
Suddenly, Qin Changqing’s eyes shot open, emitting two bursts of brilliant light, followed by the Overlord Sword Intent exploding outwards.
“Despicable demons, begone!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Among the Overlord’s Seven Slaughters, Qin Changqing could only barely shout three “kill” words.
The murderous aura instantly dispersed the black fog. Jin Tianfeng, who sought to take advantage of the situation, was influenced by the powerful Sword Intent, and his movements faltered. By the time he had regained his composure, the black fog had dissipated, and a sword light flew past, piercing straight through his chest!
This time, his magical treasures could not withstand Qin Changqing’s attack.
“Ahhh…
Jin Tianfeng’s body froze in place, vomiting a mouthful of thick blood, his eyes incredulously fixed on Qin Changqing.
Never did he expect that Qin Changqing, who was only at the second level of the Golden Elixir, could unleash such a powerful spiritual qi. Furthermore, he couldn’t understand how Qin Changqing had broken free from the influence of his Soul Summoning Banner.
These questions gradually faded along with the light in his eyes.
“The…Marshal…won’t…let you…go…”
With his last words, Jin Tianfeng collapsed onto the ground and died.
Whew-
Qin Changqing exhaled a turbid breath, and the three Golden Elixirs within his body slowly dimmed.
He took out an elixir and swallowed it, then looked around warily, only approaching Jin Tianfeng’s body when certain that there were no other dangers.
Jin Tianfeng was already thoroughly dead.
With a wave of his hand, the black banner fell into his grasp.
A cold, sinister sensation instantly surged through him.
“As expected, it’s an item of evil cultivation. It seems to have been refined using countless innocent lives,” Qin Changqing thought to himself.
Not all demonic cultivators are evil cultivators, but evil cultivators are typically categorized as demonic practitioners. Disciples of major demonic sects might be ruthless and domineering, but they wouldn’t casually exchange other’s lives for power. Evil cultivators, on the other hand, do just that. The power of the banner in front of him was extraordinary, likely refined using the lives of numerous living beings.
Jin Tianfeng, a prestigious City Lord, was actually using such an item.
If others discovered it, the Dayan Dynasty probably wouldn’t protect him either.
Of course, it’s too late for protection now.
Glancing at the ongoing battle around him, Qin Changqing gathered his spiritual qi and yelled: “Jin Tianfeng is dead! Whom do you all still fight for?”
With one thunderous shout, his voice echoed across the skies above Yinxu Prefecture.
Beneath the night sky, the bustling Night anthropomorphic city fell silent.
The second day.
Yinxu Prefecture had been plunged into chaos for most of the night.
Jin Tianfeng was dead, the Flame Armor Army obliterated by the combined forces of the Qin Family and the Lingxiao Sect, and Deng Taiqing injured and fleeing due to Jin Tianxia’s strike. The power of the City Lord was uprooted overnight.
Afterward, Qin Changqing immediately ordered a bloody purge of the families aligned with the City Lord.
This time, he showed no mercy.
The incident with Qin Haotian made him deeply aware that kindness to enemies is a betrayal to oneself and those around them.
He wasn’t afraid to stand alone, but what about the other members of the Qin Family?
Any growing force must endure sacrifice; as the saying goes, “one general’s success is built upon the bones of ten thousand soldiers.” In the world of cultivation, human life is as cheap as grass..
