“Ah!!!”
Yang Yu roared angrily. His eyes were scarlet red, and his chest had already been dyed red by the blood he spat out. At this critical moment, he had already started to risk his life because he had to. He endured his injuries and intense pain as he leaped up from the ground and attacked Qi Ming without any hesitation.
There was no way out.
He could only fight to the death!
“Attack!”
Qi Ming’s gaze was cold as he attacked ruthlessly. The Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword went straight for Yang Yu’s vital points. Sword qi circulated, and it was extremely sharp. It even had an ethereal concept as it transformed into the Green Cloud Sword Technique.
“Qi Ming!”
Yang Yu let out a furious roar again. The Flying Dragon Spear Technique that he had originally used changed its move midway. It turned out to be a cover. The Flying Dragon Spear in his hand was thrown at Qi Ming like a javelin.
Clang!
Qi Ming’s right hand shook as he used sword qi to send the Flying Dragon Spear flying. On the surface, it looked like he did not succeed, but in fact, Yang Yu’s strike had already shaken the trajectory of Qi Ming’s sword move to the side.
“Ah!!!”
Yang Yu let out a miserable cry. Under the gaze of the crowd, he actually used his body to directly face the Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword in Qi Ming’s hand. The sword forcefully pierced Yang Yu’s chest and protruded out of his body.
Pew!!!
Blood splattered everywhere.
“What!”
“This… this…”
“So ruthless!”
“…”
Everyone gasped.
One had to know, Yang Yu threw the Flying Dragon Spear and shifted the trajectory of Qi Ming’s sword move. That was why he dared to use his body to receive Qi Ming’s strike. This strike heavily injured Yang Yu, but he avoided his vital points. He would not die and still have the strength to fight.
Qi Ming also revealed a hint of surprise.
“Hahaha…”
Yang Yu coughed up blood and laughed wildly. His expression was incomparably sinister. His left hand even firmly grabbed the Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword, preventing Qi Ming from pulling it out, “So what if you’re at the sixth level of Qi Refinement? Go die!”
“Nine Absolute Poison Palm!”
Buzz! Buzz!
Yang Yu roared. He circulated the poison spell technique, and pitch-black poison gathered in his right hand, turning his entire palm pitch-black.
Poison!
It contained immense poison!
This poison technique spell had already been cultivated to the Outstanding realm by Yang Yu.
This was his trump card killer move.
“Die!”
Yang Yu roared as his eyes widened.
At such a close distance, Qi Ming’s Demon Slaying Sword was caught by Yang Yu’s body. He used his left hand to firmly grab it. He could not pull it out, and he did not even have the time to dodge.
“Senior Brother Qi!!!”
Qiao Yuxian and the others were shocked.
Buzz!!!
Suddenly, behind Yang Yu, a pitch-black ghost shadow appeared. Its fiendish energy rose. It was Qi Ming’s Blood Fiend Ghost. After the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost appeared, it quickly stretched out its hands and grabbed Yang Yu’s head tightly.
Yang Yu’s pupils constricted. He was completely in despair.
To think…
To think that…
Qi Ming actually had an evil ghost under his control!!!
“Hehehe…”
Pew!!!
The evil ghost twisted hard and forcefully broke Yang Yu’s head. It then removed his head from his neck. Blood spurted out like a fountain from his broken neck, but it was all absorbed by the ghost.
Yang Yu’s right palm was less than a finger away from Yang Yu. If he was a little later, Qi Ming would be injured by the Nine Absolute Poison Palm.
The poison gathered in his right palm was dissipating, and the black color quickly faded to an ordinary color.
“Yang… Yang Yu lost.”
“He lost.”
“Yang Yu is the strongest servant disciple of the Golden Root Peak. He was actually killed. The battle earlier was extremely intense and anxious. He was just a little bit away from winning!”
“I can only say that Yang Yu’s opponent is too strong.”
“That’s the sixth level of Qi Refinement!”
“Too powerful.”
After a moment, the other servant disciples in the surroundings recovered from their shock, and they looked at the headless corpse that lay on the ground and could not help but sigh with emotion and discuss.
Blood Fiend Evil Ghost.”
Xu Ye reacted and looked at Qi Ming, “So it was you who killed that demon cultivator and slaughtered the giant wolf pack.”
“You actually raised a Blood Fiend Evil Ghost.”
Qi Ming was also a servant disciple of the Green Cloud Peak.
One had to know, back then, the news about the Demon Sect spy was first spread from the Green Cloud Peak. Now that Qi Ming had nurtured a ghost and was so ruthless, Xu Ye naturally suspected Qi Ming even more and felt that it was very likely that he was a Demon Sect spy.
However…
Xu Ye did not have any evidence. If he thought that Qi Ming was a spy of the Demon Sect from a mere ghost, this theory could not be established for the time being.
This was because there were many methods and channels to obtain a Blood Fiend Evil Ghost. It did not necessarily have to be refined by oneself. One could even spend spirit stones to purchase the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost Talisman to control a Blood Fiend Evil Ghost.
However…
The Blood Fiend Evil Ghost Talisman was extremely expensive. At the very least, it was worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. It was comparable to the spirit stones rewarded by the first place in this Outer Sect Assessment.
Qi Ming was only a servant disciple. It was very hard to believe that Qi Ming could spend 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase a ghost talisman. The only explanation was that Qi Ming was a spy from the Demon Sect and could refine a Blood Fiend Evil Ghost.
Xu Ye felt that Qi Ming was very suspicious.
Coupled with the fact that the battle between Qi Ming and Yang Yu was extremely intense and anxious just now, Qi Ming seemed to have summoned the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost as a last resort.
There were all kinds of signs.
It was as if they were all indicating to Xu Ye that Qi Ming was a spy from the Demon Sect.
Buzz! Buzz!
The ghost sucked Yang Yu’s corpse into a dried corpse. The fiendish energy on its body became a little heavier, but it was still far from reaching the eighth level of Qi Refinement.
Qi Ming instructed, “Jiang Shicheng, go and loot everything valuable on Yang Yu.”
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
Jiang Shicheng and the others jolted and quickly responded. They ran out of the inheritance forest and finished plundering all the talisman treasures and inferior-grade storage bags on Yang Yu’s body.
Then, they then handed these spoils of war to Qi Ming.
Among them, the one-time-use ‘Poison Bag Sleeves Arrow’ was already useless. It could only be sold as scrap material. It could probably be sold for a few low-grade spirit stones. The Flying Dragon Spear and the Golden Scale Armor were both top-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasures.
There were still 520 spirit stones left.
There were many spiritual herbs, but fewer than that demon cultivator Zhao Shi.
“No wonder he could block the Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword.”
Qi Ming thought to himself, “So they are all top-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasures.”
At this moment, more and more servant disciples gathered around the inheritance forest. The servant disciples of the twelve peaks were basically gathered here. Moreover, it was less than two hours before the Outer Sect Assessment ended.
“They’re here so soon.”
A smile appeared on Qi Ming’s face.
“I really didn’t expect Senior Brother Qi to already be at the sixth level Qi Refinement realm.”
Qiao Yuxian cried out in surprise. Looking at Qi Ming tidying up his combat strength, her jade-like hand covered her red lips, and her eyes could not hide her surprise, “A few days ago, Senior Brother Qi was only at the early-stage fifth level Qi Refinement realm!”
“This… this…”
Tang Bing was very shocked as well, “His cultivation rose so quickly? Or could it be that Senior Brother Qi has actually been hiding his strength all along? He’s actually already at the sixth level of Qi Refinement long ago, or even higher, but he hasn’t shown it?”
“If that’s the case, Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation talent is so excellent, but why did he become a servant disciple? With such talent, he’s at least an outer sect disciple and can even directly enter the inner sect.”
Xiao Fan pondered, “I’m only at the late-stage of the fourth level Qi Refinement realm now. I’m not even at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm. Compared to Senior Brother Qi, there’s indeed a huge gap.”
“You don’t have to belittle yourself. This child is indeed very extraordinary. He might become your strongest opponent in the future. You have to take a good look at his methods and actions now. You’ll definitely be able to use them in the future. Do you remember?”
At this moment, on Xiao Fan’s left pinky finger, he wore an ancient storage ring. A soul fluctuation came from the ring as the Essence Soul sent a voice transmission to him.
“Yes, Teacher. I’ll remember it.” Xiao Fan replied in his mind.
“Fellow disciples.”
Qi Ming coughed lightly and swept his gaze across everyone. He wanted to get to the main topic, but when his gaze landed on Xiao Fan, he subconsciously saw the ring on his left hand.
“Eh?”
Qi Ming exclaimed in his heart, “Why didn’t I notice it when I was in the D-Class Servant Quarters of the Green Cloud Peak? Xiao Fan seems to have always been wearing such a ring.”
“Moreover, at first glance, this ring looks ordinary, but after careful observation, I feel that it’s extraordinary and a little special.”
“This…”
Qi Ming shuddered as he thought of a possibility. Could this Xiao Fan be the template protagonist who had a spiritual grandpa cheat? Ye Dun was the reincarnation of a Buddha, and this Xiao Fan might be the protagonist of another genre.
“Is the Green Cloud Peak so lucky? Two hidden dragons appeared in a row?”
Qi Ming looked at him with a deep gaze.
“Forget it.” Qi Ming shook his head, “I’ll earn a lot of spirit stones in this assessment. Although it’s very satisfying to cultivate passively, I’ll need to consume a lot of spirit stones to increase the efficiency of my AFK Farming.”
“As long as I enter the inner sect or become Elder Feng’s disciple, I should be able to develop peacefully with the protection of Elder Feng.”
