Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect
Song Wen followed behind a group of outer sect cultivators, flying slowly. The Flight Technique of Qi Refining Middle Stage cultivator was not considered very fast.
At this moment, they had flown six or seven miles away, and the servant disciples behind them had all descended to the foot of the mountain and were rushing towards the Corpse Demon Sect.
As Song Wen was leaving the city, he released the Black Armor Gu and suddenly discovered that many of the servant disciples behind him were falling one after another.
When Song Wen broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Divine Sense also surged, becoming comparable to that of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.
At this moment, his Divine Sense could detect objects within a radius of two miles, and with the help of the Black Armor Gu, the Divine Sense range could be extended to about eight miles.
The murderers who killed the handyman disciples were none other than the dozens of inner disciple who had previously drawn array patterns in the castle.
All the menial disciples died from excessive Corpse-Baleful Qi invading their hearts and lungs, thus preserving their vital Essence Blood to the greatest extent possible.
Each time inner disciple kills someone, they will use Binding Soul Technique to trap the soul inside the body before placing the corpse in a coffin.
Watching the slaughter of his fellow disciples behind him, Song Wen became increasingly confused. What exactly were these high-ranking members of the Corpse Demon Sect trying to do?
However, Song Wen now understood why Wu Ren had stopped Dan Ying from killing the fleeing person.
The disciples killed by Dan Ying not only had their souls dissipated, but their physical bodies were also blown to pieces, rendering them almost completely worthless to the Corpse Demon Sect.
Fortunately, the outer disciples still had some value in the eyes of the Corpse Demon Sect's higher-ups, so they did not massacre Song Wen and the other outer disciples.
This allowed Song Wen to hide among the outer disciples for the time being, but he absolutely could not stay in the Corpse Demon Sect now and had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Dan Ying, who was flying at the forefront, suddenly saw a silver light streak across the sky, heading straight for her face.
Dan Ying's reaction was remarkably quick.
A massive amount of black Corpse-Baleful Qi surged out of her body like a bursting dam.
In the blink of an eye, she was completely shrouded in black aura Sha Qi. The Sha Qi gradually condensed, eventually enveloping her like a black eggshell.
At the same time, a two-inch-long vajra appeared in front of him.
The vajra, entirely blood-red and radiating a menacing Sha Qi, hurtled straight toward the silver light ahead.
"Bite!"
The vajra struck the silver light, and the speed of both decreased significantly.
The silver light turned out to be a three-foot-long Azure Edge, its Sword-Ray gleaming and radiating Sword Qi.
In the blink of an eye, the flying sword and the vajra clashed dozens of times, neither able to gain the upper hand, resulting in a stalemate.
"What kind of scoundrel are you, hiding your head and showing your tail!"
Seeing that the attacker was not very strong, Dan Ying felt relieved and sternly rebuked him.
To her surprise, three figures slowly rose from the dense forest several hundred meters ahead.
One of them was constantly making sword hand seals with both hands; this was the person fighting Dan Ying. The other two did not make a move.
Upon seeing the three people, Dan Ying's eyes flashed with panic at first, but she quickly calmed down and shouted angrily.
"So you're just a bunch of rats from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect! Take this!"
As she spoke, Dan Ying's aura surged, and a thick black Sha Qi swirled around her, making her look like a demon crawling out of hell, as if she were ready to fight the three from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect to the death.
"Go!"
Dan Ying gave a soft shout.
The vajra's power surged, its speed increased dramatically, and it dodged the flying swords' entanglement before shooting towards the three of them.
One of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect sneered, "A mere trick!"
He muttered incantations and waved his left hand forward, creating a golden barrier in front of the vajra.
"Boom!"
The vajra, shrouded in black mist, struck the golden barrier, unleashing a blinding burst of light.
The golden barrier shook violently, but it did not break.
The three members of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect were about to use their respective methods to capture Dan Ying.
Dan Ying suddenly turned and fled towards the fortress, where Wu Ren, a Golden Core cultivator, was located. Dealing with these three Foundation Establishment cultivators would be a piece of cake for him.
Dan Ying's sudden escape without warning stunned the three of them at first, but they quickly realized that they had been tricked by Dan Ying and were furious.
"You can't escape!"
Two cultivators from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect chased after Dan Ying.
The other Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect cultivator was the weakest of the three, with a cultivation level of only the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. He had a hooked nose and a sinister look between his brows.
This man, like a tiger among sheep, brandished his flying sword and charged towards the many outer disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect.
Unfortunately, the flying sword struck precisely where Song Wen was located.
"Extreme Yin Brother Jiyin, be careful!" Chen Yi exclaimed in alarm.
Li Yuan and Wang Dang turned around and rushed into the dense forest below.
A flash of blood-red light appeared on Song Wen's body, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically. He barely dodged the flying sword that shot towards him, flashed to Chen Yi's side, grabbed her hand, and threw her violently in a westward direction.
At the same time, Song Wen transmitted his voice.
"Head west! Remember, do not return to the sect."
The Corpse Demon Sect is located to the south.
Since there are righteous cultivators lying in ambush here, it means that the way back to the sect is no longer safe. It would be better to take this opportunity to escape the Corpse Demon Sect.
With the help of the Black Armor Gu, Song Wen knew that there were no cultivators within a few miles to the west, making it a relatively safe place.
Chen Yi felt a tremendous force act on her, and then she was thrown nearly two miles away without any resistance, basically out of the hook-nosed man's attack range. She turned around and looked at Song Wen with some surprise.
The power Song Wen displayed when he flung her away was definitely not Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivator could possess.
Chen Yi dared not linger, turned and disappeared into the dense forest below, affixed a Swift Movement Talisman, and headed west.
The hook-nosed man's flying sword missed Song Wen, but instead killed several outer disciples behind Song Wen.
"Huh?" The hook-nosed man was somewhat surprised to see that Song Wen had actually dodged his flying sword.
A mere Qi Refining Sixth Layer Devil Cultivator was able to dodge his flying sword. The hook-nosed man felt as if his dignity as a Foundation Establishment cultivator had been insulted.
With a sudden thought, he chased after Song Wen.
The flying sword hovered around him, constantly reaping the lives of one outer disciple after another. These outer disciples in the Qi Refining Middle Stage could hardly withstand the power of a single sword strike; they were cut into pieces like melons and vegetables, their heads falling to the ground one by one.
Song Wen naturally couldn't stay where he was and wait for Hook-Nosed to kill him. After throwing Chen Yi out, he flew eastward.
The hook-nosed man had clearly set his sights on him. Keeping Chen Yi by his side would only restrict his actions, so he simply sent Chen Yi away.
Helping her escape would be a way of honoring their past friendship. Moreover, Song Wen was able to overcome two crises thanks to the information provided by Chen Yi regarding the Yan Family and Sky Cicada Wood. Saving Chen Yi would also be a way of repaying that debt of gratitude.
A moment later.
Apart from the hook-nosed man, there was no one else in the air.
Most of the outer disciples died by his sword, while a small number escaped into the dense forest and their whereabouts are unknown.
The hook-nosed man stared in astonishment at the receding, blood-red figure in the dense forest.
That's incredibly fast!
It was even faster than the sword-wielding speed of Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator like himself. Was this the speed Qi Refining Stage cultivator could possess?
This person is hiding their true cultivation level!
After much deliberation, the man with the hooked nose decided not to continue pursuing Song Wen.
"This person has been able to conceal his cultivation within the Devil Dao Sect for so many years; he must be a meticulous and cunning individual. I'm alone, so it's best not to provoke him."
The hook-nosed man turned to look in the direction of the fortress; his fellow disciples had all gone there, and he was preparing to go and join them.
Just then, he saw a streak of light rushing towards him.
The light was moving so fast that his eyes could barely catch it.
The streak of light struck him directly.
A final thought flashed through his mind.
Golden Core cultivator!
"Bang!"
The hooked nose exploded into a cloud of blood mist, like a cluster of crimson fireworks blooming in the Ye Kong, beautiful and dazzling, yet fleeting, a brief moment of glory.
