A Case of Internal and External Coordination

A Case of Internal and External Coordination

Lu Xun and Chang Er had reacted extremely quickly.

The moment they sensed killing intent behind them, they had immediately turned around.

But Qin Yang was faster.

The instant the two appeared, Qin Yang was already prepared. He found a large stone by the wall and swung it at them with all his might!

Bang!

A dull sound rang out.

The blow had come far too suddenly. Lu Xun and Chang Er were caught completely off guard, struck dizzy, and saw stars.

Of course, an ordinary stone posed no real threat to the two of them. It merely had the effect of stunning them without doing any serious damage!

"You vile beast!"

Lu Xun was, after all, a ninth-layer Qi Refining Realm cultivator. He had turned around and spotted Qin Yang immediately. Not only that, there was even a purple-clothed girl standing beside Qin Yang.

Wasn't this the Medicinal Seed who should have died long ago?

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

But without exception, Qin Yang was certainly connected to the Yunqing Sect disciples. He might even be a spy planted by the Yunqing Sect in their cave abode!

"Bah! You're an evil cultivator, yet you have the nerve to call me a vile beast? What shamelessness."

"I'll send you on your way!"

Qin Yang gave a cold snort and lunged forward.

Lu Xun had already swiftly regained his composure, a cruel smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

At the same time, Chang Er had also reacted, his rage soaring to the heavens.

"I'll have you dead!"

As he spoke, Chang Er mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body and frantically circulated the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique he had cultivated, intending to drain all the blood essence from Qin Yang's body.

But what he never expected was that an even more terrifying suction force came from within Qin Yang's body.

The moment he drew close, the blood essence within his own body instead began to flow backward madly, sucked away by Qin Yang!

"Something's wrong—your cultivation!"

Chang Er immediately realized that something was amiss. He sensed that the cultivation fluctuation within Qin Yang was far stronger than his own. This completely proved that Qin Yang's strength surpassed his!

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Qin Yang had already smashed his skull apart with one punch, silencing him for good!

"And you!"

After eliminating Chang Er, whose cultivation was the weakest, with the speed of thunder, Qin Yang immediately attacked Lu Xun.

It was during the clash between them that Lu Xun discovered an utterly terrifying fact.

The Qin Yang before him actually had the same cultivation as he did—the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm!

"How is that possible?!"

"You're merely a Medicinal Seed who was captured a few days ago. How could your cultivation possibly have already reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm?!"

Lu Xun cried out in shock.

He had sneered earlier because he believed Qin Yang had no cultivation at all. That confidence had made him think he could eliminate Qin Yang in an instant.

But now Qin Yang had the same ninth-layer Qi Refining Realm cultivation as him. This was a serious problem!

"What's impossible about it? Today is the day you die!"

Qin Yang sneered.

With equal cultivation, Lu Xun was simply incapable of killing him in a short time.

Of course, Qin Yang likewise could not kill Lu Xun quickly.

The difference was that Qin Yang had already cultivated the True Martial Qi Infusion Method. Even though he had only reached the entry level of this top-grade spiritual technique, it was already enough for him.

Once activated, his cultivation temporarily received a boost!

Bang!

The two of them were already close together, and Qin Yang had immediately pressed forward, leaving Lu Xun no chance to activate the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique in time!

"Argh!"

"Vile beast, my master won't let you off!"

Lu Xun screamed. Caught completely off guard, his chest had nearly been blasted through by Qin Yang, leaving him utterly unable to fight back!

"You're still talking about your master? The Yunqing Sect experts this time came specifically to capture you. That Old Devil will soon go down and accompany you two treacherous dogs. Die!"

Without another word, Qin Yang exerted all his strength and killed Lu Xun.

The remaining Medicinal Seeds in the cave abode were truly shocked by this sight. They had never expected the evil cultivators to turn on each other!

"What are you standing around for? Aren't you going to run unless you want to wait for death?"

Qin Yang waved his hand and urged the Medicinal Seeds to leave.

"Don't let your guard down! Maintain the sword formation, and don't let any evil cultivator in the cave abode escape!"

Outside the sword formation, Ye Zishuang shouted loudly.

She knew very well that, judging from the clues they had obtained, there was still an Old Devil at the Foundation Establishment Realm inside this den of evil cultivators. They absolutely could not relax now!

But at that very moment, Tan Yurou's voice rang out.

"Master, your disciple is here!"

Tan Yurou shouted loudly, her eyes reddened.

At those words, Ye Zishuang and the others hurriedly looked over. Seeing that Tan Yurou was indeed alive and lively, without a trace of injury, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell completely.

"That's wonderful, Master! Junior Sister Yurou is fine!"

"As long as nothing happened to Junior Sister Yurou, that's all that matters."

"That person called Qin Yang really protected Junior Sister Yurou as he promised. We can save him along with her later!"

Zhao Ling and the other two were overjoyed, while guilt also filled their hearts.

After all, Tan Yurou had been captured by the evil cultivators this time, and the three of them, as her senior sisters, certainly bore some responsibility. If one of them had stayed by Junior Sister Yurou's side back then, the evil cultivators would never have succeeded, and all the troubles that followed would never have happened!

Ye Zishuang nodded, her sharp gaze bright and piercing.

"The person who took the initiative to tell us where Yurou was really is impressive. He was also someone captured and brought to this den of evil cultivators."

"He helped us so much. We should save him as well!"

Her gaze fell upon Qin Yang, sizing him up carefully. Her first impression of him was exceptionally favorable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Yang and Tan Yurou hurriedly fled the shattered cave abode. Once they reached Ye Zishuang's side, they would be completely safe!

However, Heaven did not grant their wish.

At that moment, the Old Devil Xuan Chengzi's eerie, sinister laughter rang out, and boundless evil energy poured from the collapsed Pill Refining Room!

Boom!

A furnace could be seen shooting straight out before exploding in midair.

Terrifying Spiritual Power fluctuations and cultivation aura spread in every direction, immediately cutting off Qin Yang and Tan Yurou's path as they tried to reach Ye Zishuang!

"Oh no, that Old Devil is here!"

Qin Yang was horrified, and Tan Yurou's face turned pale.

That was an evil cultivator leader at the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he attacked the two of them directly, there was no way they could survive with their strength!

"Who could have imagined that, right under this old man's nose, someone from the Yunqing Sect would actually join forces with another from within and without to deal me such a blow!"

Xuan Chengzi appeared, continuously letting out cold laughter that made one's blood run cold. He was referring precisely to Qin Yang!
