Chapter 27: Xuan Chengzi Makes a Move, Shocking the Yunqing Sect Disciples
Clang, clang, clang!
Astonishing sword energy swept outside the collapsed cave entrance, wave after wave, ceaselessly!
Squelch!
Chang Er couldn't take it anymore.
He had been pierced through the shoulder by Fang Xinyun's sword, drawing blood immediately.
"Damn it!"
"Bitch, if my Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique wasn't still incomplete, you'd just be my nourishment!"
Chang Er roared unwillingly.
He had only just begun cultivating the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, which required him to touch someone's body to absorb their blood essence. However, it was clear that Fang Xinyun wouldn't give him any chance to touch her!
"This is a huge joke."
"You, an evil cultivator who has committed countless sins, actually think you can do anything to me?!"
"I'll send you on your way!"
Fang Xinyun shouted coldly. The sword energy erupting from her spiritual sword became even more continuous and powerful, wounding Chang Er all over with blood from a distance.
"What? This guy's still not dead?"
In a fleeting glance, Chang Er noticed that Qin Yang, whose cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer, was still stalling for time and hadn't sustained any injuries.
Seeing Qin Yang's slippery, eel-like movements, he felt a pang of envy.
"Damn it, how can this person be so resilient?"
"When I survive this, I absolutely have to ask him what cultivation method he's using."
He thought to himself.
Beside him, Zhao Ling, who had personally attacked Qin Yang, was equally surprised.
She was certain she had used her full strength, her spiritual sword unleashing relentless sword energy. For any ordinary evil cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer, let alone being unharmed, it would be incredibly difficult to hold on this long without dying.
Yet, Qin Yang before her seemed to be handling it with ease, which was no simple feat.
"Could it be that this evil cultivator's cultivation is far beyond the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer?!"
Zhao Ling was shocked and had to speculate as such.
Otherwise, how could she explain the current situation?
But as she scrutinized and pondered, she couldn't detect any abnormalities in Qin Yang's aura; he still appeared to be a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer!
It was truly uncanny!
And as the few of them were locked in combat, the Yin energy within the cave surged. Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Xuan Chengzi's scalp-tingling voice emerged.
"Hehehe, disciples of the righteous path, daring to trespass into my dojo."
"Since there are only three of you, you shall all stay here!"
As he spoke, Xuan Chengzi's figure appeared, enveloped in a surge of Yin energy.
Upon seeing this, Lu Xun and Chang Er were overjoyed. Chang Er was even moved to tears.
"Master, you've finally arrived!"
"Please quickly capture these three overconfident disciples of the righteous path!"
Chang Er pleaded repeatedly, unable to endure any longer.
As for Qin Yang, seeing Xuan Chengzi's appearance brought no ripple to his heart; he had long anticipated what would happen.
Xuan Chengzi was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once he made a move, he would easily suppress these three Yunqing Sect disciples. There was no hope left.
"What a pity."
"I wonder where these three Yunqing Sect disciples got their confidence from. Daring to be so reckless without calling for backup, now even immortals can't save them."
Qin Yang saw this scene, spread his hands, and prepared to collect their corpses.
"What?!"
"There's actually an Old Devil here?!"
Sensing the terrifying Yin energy emanating from Xuan Chengzi, Zhao Ling's face turned pale. The situation she least wanted to see had occurred.
She could clearly sense that Xuan Chengzi's aura was far more powerful than theirs, indicating he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm!
The gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Refining Realm was like that between heaven and earth.
Even if all three of them had reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, it would be nowhere near enough!
"Senior Sister Zhao, what do we do now?"
Fang Xinyun's expression changed drastically, looking extremely grim.
They had initially thought there wouldn't be any overly powerful evil cultivators here, but who knew such an Old Devil was hidden within the cave dwelling.
The Yin energy swept out in all directions, sealing off all their escape routes, and she was already starting to suffocate!
Under these circumstances, let alone rescuing Junior Sister Tan, being able to escape with her own life would be considered a great fortune!
Zhao Ling naturally understood this very well.
She gritted her teeth and, after a brief hesitation, made her choice.
"Let's go. This place is not suitable for lingering. That evil cultivator is too powerful. We'll go back and ask Master to take action personally!"
However, it was already too late to leave at this point.
"Hah."
"Do you think you can come and go as you please in my territory?"
"Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!"
Xuan Chengzi shouted.
Instantly, the Yin wind roared, making it impossible to see anything.
Within a radius of twenty miles, this area had turned into a netherworld, filled with the sounds of countless resentful spirits and ghosts. Even though Qin Yang knew it wasn't directed at him, his scalp still tingled. This wasn't the first time he had witnessed such terrifying methods used by an evil cultivator!
As for Zhao Ling and the other two in front of him, their situation was even more dire.
As soon as the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique was unleashed, the blood qi within the three of them involuntarily surged out of their bodies, and Xuan Chengzi swallowed more than half of it with a roar!
"We're finished!"
Zhao Ling and the other two turned pale, their strength greatly diminished.
Seeing that escape was impossible, Zhao Ling decided to sacrifice herself to let her junior sisters Xu Qing and Fang Xinyun escape.
"Two junior sisters, hurry and leave. I'll cover your retreat."
"Remember, don't look back. Return to the sect quickly and gather reinforcements!"
Zhao Ling chanted a spell, and the spiritual sword in her hand became the only source of light in this Yin energy-filled area, dazzlingly brilliant!
"Senior Sister!"
Xu Qing and Fang Xinyun cried out in alarm.
"A mere trick. Once you enter my Heavenly Yin domain, none of you will leave alive!"
Xuan Chengzi was in complete control.
With a flick of his finger, a ghost pounced forward, actually devouring the spiritual sword in Zhao Ling's hand and severely wounding her, causing her to fall to the ground.
Xu Qing and Fang Xinyun also couldn't escape his clutches.
No matter how they unleashed their sword techniques, even using a Thunderclap Talisman to summon lightning, it was useless. Xuan Chengzi easily subdued them!
Plop!
In the blink of an eye, the cultivation of the three of them was completely sealed, leaving them unable to move.
Lu Xun and Chang Er immediately pounced forward.
"Bitch, weren't you confident just now, wanting to kill us?"
"Now let's see how tough your mouths are."
"Three righteous disciples, their blood qi is far more potent than ordinary Medicinal Seeds, enough for Master to refine pills. Perhaps there will even be some leftover blood qi for us to absorb for cultivation!"
The two sneered.
Chang Er even took the opportunity to lash out, kicking Xu Qing who had been relentlessly pursuing him, venting his anger.
Seeing this, what could Qin Yang do?
Intervene and save them?
Forget it, he'd likely get himself killed too.
He was still counting on finding a way to resolve the poison of the Soul Locking Pill within his body in this life, so he couldn't act recklessly.
Not to mention, with his current strength, intervening would be useless!
