Du Clan Beauty
Inside a low-lying mine, Song Wen received the corpses of the four members of the Su Clan, delivered by the Sacred Beetle Gu.
Except for a bloody hole the size of an egg in the head, the four corpses were otherwise intact.
The corpses of the other Bandit Cultivators were torn to shreds by the Armor Ghosts, most of their Essence Blood were lost, and their souls were either devoured by the Armor Ghosts or had already dissipated. They were of little value to Song Wen. However, the storage rings on their bodies were collected by the Sacred Beetle Gu.
After Soul Devouring Essence Blood of the four corpses, Song Wen put them away.
These four corpses are excellent materials for crafting Death-Substitute Puppets.
After doing all this, Song Wen looked up at the eastern sky.
There, Jing Lu, who had narrowly escaped death, regrouped and continued to pursue Su Jingtong.
At the moment when resentment raged, Jing Lu used the ghost general to shield himself, sacrificing the ghost general's soul to block the impact of the resentment.
Although he was also seriously injured, his condition was much better than Su Jingtong, whose spiritual energy was almost exhausted.
"Su Jingtong, prepare to die!"
Jing Lu spat out a flying sword, which pierced straight behind Su Jingtong.
Su Jingtong hurriedly activated his flying sword to block the attack.
"When!"
A clang of metal clashing rang out.
Su Jingtong's flying sword was easily knocked away.
Jing Lu's flying sword remained undiminished in its power, continuing to slash towards Su Jingtong.
In this critical moment, Su Jingtong could only activate the flying sword beneath his feet and rush forward. He then used his Flight Technique to escape into the dense forest below.
Su Jingtong's second flying sword was once again easily knocked away.
Jing Lu's flying sword continued to slash down.
Su Jingtong's expression changed drastically.
In the face of life and death, his expression suddenly became twisted and crazed.
"You want to kill me? I'll make you pay with your life!"
The small black Squad Commander appeared in his hand, and as soon as Squad Commander was exposed to the wind, it grew into Ghost Banner ten feet tall.
On the banner, the image of the Armor Ghost struggling and roaring was clearly visible.
He wanted to release the Armor Ghost and perish together with Jing Lu.
Jing Lu's eyes widened in horror. He dared not let Su Jingtong release the Ghost King, but it was too late to escape. He could only unleash his full power on his flying sword and slash at Su Jingtong.
The flying sword struck down before the Armor Ghost could be released.
Su Jingtong failed to release the Armor Ghost as he wished, but he managed to block the flying sword with his banner pole.
The immense power of the flying sword surged through the banner pole.
The Ghost Banner was instantly released from his hand, and Su Jingtong was also sent flying by the immense force, crashing into the ground below.
"Bang bang bang..."
Su Jingtong crashed into several large trees, finally coming to a stop after creating a large crater in the ground.
Most of his ribs were broken, some piercing his heart and lungs, and blood instantly soaked through his clothes.
Jing Lu descended on her sword, picked up the fallen Ghost Banner, and came to Su Jingtong's side.
"Su Jingtong, you never expected this, did you? You've finally met your match."
"Truly, heaven is on my side! With this top-grade Spirit Artifact, the Ghost Banner, and the pseudo-third-tier Ghost King, the day that old codger of your Su Clan falls will be the day your Su Clan is destroyed."
"I will slaughter the entire Su Clan, hundreds of thousands of people, to avenge the destruction of my sect!"
At that moment, the weather in the sky suddenly changed.
Thick black clouds instantly piled up high in the sky, and countless tiny flashes of lightning streaked between the clouds.
A faint sound came from afar.
"Great Cavern Divine Thunder, Strike!"
A dazzling bolt of lightning, accompanied by a majestic divine aura, descended from the sky.
Jing Lu's face suddenly turned to fear.
Behind this mantis catching the cicada, there was actually a bird lurking in the shadows.
Without a second thought, he hurriedly activated his flying sword, braving the lightning, and soared into the sky.
The lightning struck the flying sword, which was easily knocked away like a child's toy.
Jing Lu was already seriously injured and her strength was greatly reduced. In addition, she had hastily activated her flying sword, so how could she possibly withstand the nine High Antiquity thunder techniques obtained by the Lei Clan!
The lightning bolt, though partially destroyed by the flying sword, still hurtled towards Jing Lu with lightning speed.
"Boom!"
The Jing Lu was instantly enveloped in lightning.
When the lightning subsided, his body was charred black, with only his heaving chest indicating that he was still alive.
A blood-red figure sped towards them from afar.
A cold glint suddenly appeared!
Jing Lu and Su Jingtong both perished.
Two Binding Soul Technique were cast, imprisoning the souls of the two individuals within their corpses.
Grabbing the two corpses at will, Song Wen didn't waste a moment and fled into the distance.
A little over 15 minutes later.
The two groups arrived one after the other above the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine.
The first to arrive were members of the Su Clan, led by the Su Clan's Grand Elder Su Wenshi, accompanied by one Foundation Establishment Late Stage, two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators, and four Foundation Establishment Early Stage Su Clan.
Seeing the courtyard reduced to ruins, the corpses scattered everywhere, and the countless collapsed mine shafts, Su Wenshi was filled with rage.
"Find them! See if there are any survivors."
"Collect all the bodies of your clansmen and take them back for a proper burial."
Seven cultivators from the Su Clan transformed into seven afterimages and began searching the mining area.
Before the Su Clan had finished searching the mine, a spaceship appeared in the sky.
The spaceship was small, only about ten meters long, and a dozen or so figures could be vaguely seen moving around inside.
As the spaceship drew closer, it became clear that there were sixteen people on board: seven at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the rest at the Qi Refinement Refining stage.
The leader was a female cultivator dressed as a young woman, with a cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage.
The female cultivator was stunningly beautiful with an alluring figure, like a ripe peach that was impossible to look away from.
Upon seeing the eight men, Su Wenshi's eyes flashed with barely concealed murderous intent.
"Du Ruoyun, what is your Du Clan doing at my Su Clan's mine?"
Du Ruoyun covered her mouth and laughed, her full breasts rising and falling with her movements, her body trembling.
"I happened to be passing by nearby and sensed from afar that the place was filled with resentment and ghostly energy. I thought that a demon must have appeared in the world, so I came to lend the Su Clan a hand and exorcise the demon."
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the dilapidated mine below.
"Tsk tsk tsk... How tragic! It seems like not a single survivor was left. Quite a few people from your Su Clan must have died!"
Seeing Du Ruoyun's gloating expression, Su Wenshi gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes like two angry fireballs.
"The affairs of the Su Clan are none of the Du Clan's business. Please leave immediately."
Du Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, gave a flirtatious wink, and chuckled.
"Why get so angry? I'm just trying to help the Su Clan out of good intentions."
"This Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine is the most important asset of your Su Clan; you can't afford to suffer any losses."
A flying sword suddenly appeared in front of Su Wenshi. The sword gleamed with a cold light, and countless Sword Qi crisscrossed on its blade, seemingly unleashed but not yet unleashed.
"If you don't leave, I will take your head with this sword."
Su Wenshi's voice was icy cold, as sharp as the Sword Qi on a flying sword.
Faced with Su Wenshi's threat, Du Ruoyun showed no displeasure. She simply waved her hand and addressed her Lineage.
"Since the owner of this place doesn't welcome us, then let's leave!"
The spaceship moved slowly, heading backwards.
Suddenly, she shouted loudly at Su Wenshi.
"Elder Su, you must protect the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine well, it might get stolen one day, hahaha..."
