Red Sha Level Yin Soul
Early December!
Lang Futian's Taiping Army was already surrounded and out of ammunition and food; it was only a matter of time before they were breached.
Qin Yan and others were assigned to guard nearly 100,000 Taiping Army prisoners!
Ye Yingshan led 30,000 troops to begin recapturing various regions!
The Taiping Army was already at its last gasp, and had long since lost the foundation and strength to resist!
The 30,000-strong army swept through the rebel forces in various regions with overwhelming force, and some even fled at the mere sight of them, without offering any resistance.
It probably won't take more than a few days to attack Heavenly King Hong's stronghold Lin Yang Prefecture!
In addition, upon witnessing the Taiping Army's crushing defeat, powerful families throughout Lizhou have begun to rebel!
Powerful clans have begun organizing forces to launch an attack on the Taiping Army stationed in the area!
Lizhou was the birthplace of the Great Li Dynasty, and the Taiping Army's foundation was not stable at all. Now they could only watch helplessly.
After learning of Hong Sheng's strength, the Great Li royal family sent two Supreme Grandmasters, the Second and Fourth Grandmasters, to assist him.
Even Qin Yan was shocked to learn of this.
The Great Li Dynasty's foundation was truly formidable!
If we calculate it this way, the number of Supreme Grandmasters serving the dynasty has already exceeded ten!
No wonder he was able to suppress the entire martial arts world!
Four Supreme Grandmasters are now besieging the heavily injured Hong Sheng and Ba Wei.
There's no way they can lose!
"Han Chen, you all keep a close watch on the prisoner camp."
Qin Yan gave the order and then left the camp for Lizhou!
Qin Yan traveled at an extremely fast pace, and at the same time began searching for the Taiping Army based on the intelligence he had obtained.
The treasuries in various places were filled with all kinds of supplies and plundered wealth.
Qin Yan naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.
"Okay, let's grab our things and hurry up."
A group of over a hundred Taiping Army, urged on by a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch, carried away heavy boxes one by one.
"Wow, it's all gold and silver jewelry!"
Qin Yan stood in the void, looking down at the hundred or so people below.
Qin Yan recognized the man in the lead as Ba Long, the one-eyed, cold-blooded martial arts expert recruited by the Taiping Army!
He is a rather ruthless Innate Martial Artist in the martial arts world!
"Judging from this, they're preparing to break away from the Taiping Army and go it alone!"
Qin Yan smiled. The Taiping Army was already at its end, and it seemed that these people in the martial arts world had realized that things were not going well.
They're getting ready to run away.
At the same time, within the Cloud Luo Pearl space, a delicate child exuding a blood-red Sha Qi slowly awakens!
His aura became extremely powerful, mixed with negative emotions such as pain, resentment, and bloodlust!
"Master, I'm awake!"
The voice of the Zheshen Ghost came!
Having successfully advanced to the Red Sha Level, his combat strength is comparable to that of Xiantian- stage Innate Realm martial artist.
However, due to its inherent characteristics, it is very effective against martial artists of the same level.
They are basically comparable to martial artists who are one or two minor realms higher.
After all, the soul itself is a counter to physical martial artists!
A peak-level Red Sha Yin Soul can even rival a cultivator at the initial stage of the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm!
This is the power of the eerie and malevolent.
"Go and kill them all, and while you're at it, let me see your strength."
Qin Yan spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
The Zheshen Ghost immediately showed excitement!
"Yes, sir!"
Swish!
The Zheshen Ghost instantly transformed into a dagger with blood-red patterns all over its body!
In an instant, a blood-red shadow flashed across the horizon!
Pfft!
The blood-red shadow pierced through a soldier's chest, its power undiminished, and continued to pierce the chests of other soldiers.
Ba Long whirled around, his pupils shrinking instantly as a blood-red shadow, too fast to catch, was frantically slaughtering his trusted men!
"There's a monster!"
This bizarre scene sent chills down the spines of those present.
They immediately scattered and fled!
Even Ba Long felt a sense of fear and took a few steps back.
They immediately turned and fled.
However, after running only a few steps, he instinctively felt his body bound by an invisible force.
His entire body was completely immobilized, which filled him with immense horror!
Immediately afterwards, he felt a tremendous force on his neck!
Click!
His head spun around in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground in horror.
Heh heh!
The Zheshen Ghost laughed, transforming into a red light to continue its pursuit of the Taiping Army, all within moments.
More than a hundred people were immediately killed.
"This guy's telekinesis has become much stronger."
Qin Yan witnessed the whole thing and couldn't help but be surprised. The two major abilities of the Zheshen Ghost were telekinesis and the Fold-Life Hell!
The psychic power within can easily crush a martial artist at the initial stage of the Xiantian Realm.
This is enough to prove that his potential and current combat power far exceed those of his peers!
Descending from the sky!
"Master, everyone has been dealt with."
Zheshen Ghost looked like he was taking credit, a silly grin spreading across his childish face!
"Good! Take care of it, make sure they don't have the potential to become ghosts."
Qin Yan gave the order softly.
"Yes, Master!"
The Zheshen Ghost naturally didn't hold back, immediately unleashing the Fold-Life Hell, devouring all the souls and life force of these people completely.
Seeing this, Qin Yan nodded inwardly. This Fold-Life Hell had become even stronger; it didn't have the ability to devour souls and blood before!
Open these boxes in front of you.
Each box was filled with silver ingots, and each box could hold at least ten thousand taels.
There were fifteen boxes in total: eleven boxes of silver, one box of gold, and the rest were just some jewelry and jade!
A rough estimate puts it at least worth 270,000 taels of silver!
Qin Yan nodded in satisfaction and packed up the items to take with him!
The next moment, his figure had vanished from the spot.
With his terrifying speed, he could easily conduct a thorough search of Lizhou.
Phoenix Perch Mountain in Lizhou!
Qin Yan sensed two distinct auras here.
Although Ba Wei was chased by two Supreme Grandmasters all the way, he was strong enough to escape.
However, he himself also suffered considerable injuries.
As for Hong Sheng, he fared even worse; Qin Yan's arrow nearly cost him his life.
Even if they survive, it will take at least two or three years for them to fully recover.
At this point, Hong Sheng had lost his former vigor and appeared extremely listless and decadent.
He originally thought he could sweep across the world and overthrow the corrupt Great Li dynasty.
Unfortunately, he ultimately overestimated his own abilities!
This crushing defeat shattered his spirit and energy, even causing his cultivation level to become somewhat unstable.
It could fall at any moment.
A hint of confusion flashed in Ba Wei's eyes, and his gaze towards Hong Sheng held a complex expression that was difficult to detect!
Qin Yan's eyes flashed, then turned sinister!
"Since it's useless now, keeping it will only cause trouble."
It wasn't until Qin Yan stepped into the tent that everyone noticed his presence.
"Who are you...?"
Upon seeing the mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and bamboo hat, the powerful followers of Hong Sheng immediately surrounded him!
"No...!"
Ba Wei's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a flash of blood inside the tent!
Qin Yan's speed was so fast that even Ba Wei, Supreme Grandmaster, couldn't see his movements clearly.
More than a dozen figures were instantly decapitated, and the air was filled with the strong stench of their own blood.
Hong Sheng also experienced pupillary earthquakes.
The moment the other party made a move, he sensed that incredibly familiar aura.
"So it was you...!"
