My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 505: Black Qi

Chapter 505: Black Qi

When Jiang Yan heard this, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something.

But Gong Cang ignored him. The Vigor Qi in his body gathered into the long knife, and then he suddenly exerted power.

The energy of the blade extended for hundreds of metres, splitting the snowy ground in two.

The Yin Qi of the Firebird and Jiang Yan also split into two under the blade energy.

Gong Cang’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the bodies on the ground.

He and Jiang Yan were old acquaintances. Even before he became one of the Twelve Divine Generals, the other party was already one of the Thirty-six Stars.

According to his impression, Jiang Yan would never betray the Demon Slaying Department.

But the reality was often so cruel.

The invisible hand had not only reached the western regions, but had also infiltrated the Demon Slaying Department.

Gong Cang’s expression was ugly. If the enemies in the darkness could influence Jiang Yan, what about the others in the Demon Slaying Department? Could it be that they have also rebelled?

Thinking back to the disaster in the Western Region, such a big thing as Bai Wudi’s disappearance, why didn’t the Demon Slayer Department hear any movement at all?

There is only one possibility, those who knew about this matter have all been silenced.

Looking up at the nearby Liuying Mountain, Gong Cang tightly gripped the long knife in his hand and waved it violently, spilling a line of unfrozen blood onto the snow.

His sword had killed countless demons and ghosts, but now he might have to stain the blood of his own people.

How tragic.

On the other side, in Qiongyu City.

“Jiang Yan is dead? It seems that the plan to ambush Gong Cang has failed.” Gong Du looked at the dull Soul Stone in his hand and said casually.

“If the Twelve Divine Generals were so easy to kill, we wouldn’t have been so worried.” Ghost Buddha was indifferent.

“That’s true.” Gong Du said, slowly stepping out of the shadows, and then his figure split in two!

“Why create a doppelganger?”

“The Western Region Demon Slaying Department has issued orders. Of course, I have to play along, otherwise I’ll be suspected, right?”

Ghost Buddha chuckled and said, “Our Divine Generals seem to be quite busy.”

Swoosh!

Liu Jianli waved her right hand and a sword qi shot into the sky. The giant three-headed demon king was instantly decapitated and blood splattered everywhere.

Qin Feng, who was holding Xiao Bai, looked at the scene solemnly. Although the opponent’s strength had reached the level of six Calamity Cycles, they were no match when facing the two female figures.

But the key problem was that these powerful demon kings appeared too frequently.

Since leaving Qiongyu City, this was already the third powerful demon king they had encountered along the way!

The group of fox women looked at the lion king who couldn’t be more dead, and patted their chests in fear.

Cang Feilan descended from the sky and shook her head, indicating that there was no danger nearby.

Qin Feng looked at Su Xiaoyue and asked, “Is the Western Region always this dangerous on ordinary days?”

It was said that among the four domains of the Great Qian, the southern domain had the most yin energy, and the powerful demons and ghosts were endless.

But even in the Southern Domain, Qin Feng had never been attacked by demon beasts like today.

Su Xiaoyue also showed a puzzled expression, “I have travelled this road many times, it should be the safest. I’ve never encountered such powerful demon kings like this, maybe…”

“Maybe what?”

“Maybe the disaster in the western region that the Chief mentioned has already begun,” Su Xiaoyue said with a worried expression, “We need to hurry back to Tushan!”

“Disaster in the Western Regions,” Qin Feng muttered, glancing at the corpse of the Lion King beside him once again.

Suddenly, as if he had realised something, he spoke up, “Wait, the Demons and Ghosts of the High Calamity Cycle will most likely manifest their innate Divine Ability after death.”

“But the two we encountered earlier and this one now, nothing happened after they died. Is that normal?”

Everyone was stunned by this remark.

Bai Xiaomao, who was lying on Qin Feng’s shoulder, said, “Perhaps these three demon kings just happen to lack the ability to manifest the Innate Divine Ability after death?

Qin Feng shook his head, “Their strength is too weak, so it’s normal that you don’t know.”

Bai Xiaomao looked confused at his words.

“I have read in the books that over ninety percent of the demonic beasts that reach the realm of the six calamity cycles will undergo changes after death.”

“This is because once they reach the realm of six calamity cycles, their souls will also undergo earth-shattering changes, and the innate divine ability after death is often triggered by the soul.”

At this point, Qin Feng had a flash of insight. He opened his Dual Pupil Ability and looked at the Lion King’s corpse, only to see that Black Qi was continuously entering the earth.

And the remains of the Lion King’s soul were nowhere to be seen!

“How is this possible? Even when the Demon King of the Six Calamities dies, his soul should not dissipate so quickly.”

“This appearance is like something absorbing his dead soul,” Qin Feng muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered the scenes he had seen before using the Star Observation Technique, and the catastrophe mentioned by the Tushan Fox Clan Chief, as told by Su Xiaoyue.

Winding through the western regions, the endless Black Qi lingered.

Qin Feng placed his hand on the ground and felt the flow of Righteous Qi penetrating the earth, “Is there any fluctuation in the circulating formations?”

He stood up and looked at Cang Feilan beside him, “Wife, take me to the sky for a look!”

“Alright.” Cang Feilan didn’t ask much, she just picked up Qin Feng and jumped into the sky, “Is this high enough?”

“A little higher!”

The sea of clouds was within reach, and the endless mountain ranges were all in sight. Qin Feng finally asked Cang Feilan to stop.

A golden light flashed in his eyes as he scanned the earth.

He could clearly see the direction of the black qi rolling along the path they had taken?

And the circular patterns of the black qi’s circulation must be some kind of formation.

Looking into the distance, even though the distance was too far, Qin Feng could still vaguely see that there were several places where the black qi was most dense.

Considering the situation with the Lion King’s corpse, it could only mean that there had been a large number of deaths where the black qi had gathered.

He made a note of those places and then let Cang Feilan take him back to the ground. He casually picked up a stick from the ground, and Qin Feng outlined the scene he had just seen on the ground.

The others didn’t understand his intentions, but they watched silently without making a sound.

In a moment, the map of the continuous mountainous terrain appeared in front of everyone.

Qin Feng circled around several mountain ranges and asked the fox girls, “Do you know where these places are?”

The group of fox girls looked around, and Su Xiaoyue pointed to a place and said, “This looks a bit like the Wind Lotus Mountain that Bai Wudi used to manage.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaomao jumped onto Xiaoyue’s chest and then used the rebound force to jump onto Qin Feng’s shoulders.

She glanced at the map and said in surprise, “Hehe, you’ve been to Big Sister’s mountains as well, these places are all Dragon Vein Lands under Big Sister’s jurisdiction.”

“There’s Fenglian Mountain, there’s Cuize Mountain, and there…”

Qin Feng’s eyebrows furrowed and he fell into contemplation.

The places with the thickest black aura are all mountain ranges with Dragon Veins? And they were all areas that Bai Wudi used to manage.

If his speculation was correct, then the dense Black Qi was probably the remaining souls of the dead monsters.

In other words, the ownerless Dragon Vein Land in the Western Region is being accompanied by a lot of dead souls.
