Chapter 42

A green stone stood out particularly clean on the hillside. Xu Shimei walked up to the stone, turned her head, and said to Senior Sister Qin and the others, "Senior sisters and brothers, why don't we rest a bit and adjust our breathing before continuing on our journey?"

Senior Sister Qin pondered for a moment and glanced at Senior Brother Ma as if seeking his opinion.

"Since Senior Sister Xu has spoken, let's take a rest!" Senior Brother Ma, who was leading the way, was the most eager for a break.

For cultivators, this distance was nothing, but the constant threat of danger made everyone feel extremely fatigued.

Lei Mo was rather quiet and seemed quite reserved. After sitting down, he took out a small bottle from his spatial bag, pondered for a moment, and then poured out six green pills.

"Here are the Green Slaughter Pills my master refined. Would any of you like one?"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Tu's expression changed slightly.

However, Senior Brother Ma of the Nine Lotus Sect chuckled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lei, but Junior Brother Qingluo and I are used to taking our sect's Lotus Heart Pills. We can't accept your kindness."

"Senior Brother Ma is right," said Young Master Qingluo, who usually wished Senior Brother Ma dead, but now followed his words, "I have a few Lotus Heart Pills refined from seventh-grade lotus seeds. If anyone wants to try them, they can come to me."

Senior Sister Qin smiled but did not respond.

As for Senior Sister Xu, she looked into the distance as if she hadn't heard anything.

Lei Mo, noticing Senior Brother Tu's gaze, realized he might have done something wrong.

He threw one of the pills to Senior Brother Tu and was about to put the rest away. However, at that moment, a large black hand suddenly appeared under his feet, reaching out to grab him!

Caught off guard, Lei Mo hadn't even reacted when Senior Brother Tu shouted and a green token flew up, smashing down on the black hand.

At the same time, Senior Sister Xu leaped up. Under the green stone where she had been sitting, another pair of black hands appeared.

If not for her quick reflexes, she would have been grabbed by the black hands!

Senior Sister Qin coldly snorted, and the red silk in her hand, like a red python, wrapped around the black shadow.

*Puff, puff*

With two light sounds, two more black figures appeared beside Young Master Qingluo, and four black hands, stiff but lightning-fast, reached out to grab him.

Young Master Qingluo was prepared, so he merely sneered and immediately summoned a yellow talisman.

The talisman, upon flying out, transformed into a large seal about ten feet in diameter, smashing down on the black shadow.

Senior Brother Ma, who had already prepared his sword technique, twitched his face when he saw the seal and couldn't help but exclaim, "A Mystic Talisman! He actually has a Mystic Talisman! Having a Golden Core father really makes a difference!"

In the cultivation world, talismans are divided into four types: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow.

Among them, Yellow Talismans are the most common, containing various powers of earth, water, wind, and fire. They are used once and then consumed.

These are the most frequently used talismans.

Mystic Talismans are different!

Although Mystic Talismans are only one grade higher than Yellow Talismans, their price is a hundred times that of a Yellow Talisman.

This is not only because of the materials used to make Mystic Talismans but also because of their power.

In simple terms, a Mystic Talisman is equivalent to a magical tool. The only difference is that it turns to ashes after its power is consumed, making it almost indistinguishable from a magical tool.

Fang Ling's Golden Sword Talisman is actually a low-grade Mystic Talisman.

For cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, such Mystic Talismans are considered life-saving items. Therefore, they are often called Treasure Talismans!

*Bang*

The large seal smashed into a black body, which was directly driven into the ground.

Young Master Qingluo laughed and pointed at the seal, directing it toward another figure.

At that moment, a black light suddenly shot out from three feet away from Young Master Qingluo, aiming for his head.

"Be careful!"

Senior Brother Ma shouted in alarm, but it was too late for him to act.

The black blade was about to strike Young Master Qingluo!

In a panic, Young Master Qingluo instinctively lay down.

But his movement, though quick, was no match for the blade.

If the blade had struck, Young Master Qingluo, who had not yet achieved a spirit core, would have been dead.

At that instant, a green light suddenly emerged from Young Master Qingluo's clothes.

The black blade penetrated two inches but could not advance further.

Although he had escaped, Young Master Qingluo's face turned abnormally pale.

He felt death was so close!

"Who? Show yourself!" Senior Brother Ma roared, his fingers moving as the sword light slashed toward the source of the blade.

Senior Sister Xu and Lei Mo, who had not acted, also threw two talismans, following Senior Brother Ma's sword light.

*Boom*

The sword light struck a stone, which instantly shattered into dust.

A figure appeared strangely on the hillside ten feet away.

It was Fang Ling.

He looked at Young Master Qingluo with a hint of regret. If not for the green light that appeared on Young Master Qingluo, that single strike would have killed him.

Seeing the four injured corpses under the combined attack of Senior Sister Qin and the others, Fang Ling's mind raced, and the four corpses ran frantically toward him.

"Want to run? Too late!"

Senior Sister Qin coldly snorted, and the red silk in her hand wrapped around one of the corpses. Senior Brother Tu's token expanded several times and smashed down on a corpse that had lost an arm!

Seeing the two corpses about to be stopped, Fang Ling's mind raced, and he instantly unfurled the Western Suburb Dust Map, drawing the corpses into it.

Senior Brother Tu and Senior Sister Qin frowned at the sudden disappearance of the corpses, but their gazes quickly fell on Fang Ling.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Senior Brother Tu's eyes were like stars, coldly staring at Fang Ling.

However, when he saw that Fang Ling's aura was only at the Fifth Level of Qi Cultivation, he greatly relaxed.

A Fifth Level Qi Cultivation cultivator was no different from a bug to him.

Fang Ling did not speak, only coldly staring at Young Master Qingluo.

Young Master Qingluo's eyes were filled with savagery. He felt this person was familiar, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that this person had almost killed him, the noble Young Master Qingluo.

The Green Luo Smoke, given by his father for life-saving moments, had lost one use.

"Boy, no matter who you are, today I will make you beg for death and beg for life!"

Fang Ling smiled lightly and said calmly and firmly, "Unfortunately, my goal is different. I came here just to kill you!"

"Are you the boy from Dinging City?" Senior Brother Ma pondered for a moment, asking uncertainly.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "Your insight is sharp. It is indeed me."

With Fang Ling's answer, Young Master Qingluo finally understood who Fang Ling was. Thinking that he had been almost killed by someone he considered as insignificant as an ant, he was furious and shouted, "You lowly thing, you dare to come and kill me! I tell you, you're finished! No, your family, all your relatives, are finished!"

"I will make them suffer worse than death, and I will sell your sister to the lowest brothel!"

"I will extract your soul and make you suffer the torment of the demon soul refining heart!"

Fang Ling's face did not change. After Young Master Qingluo finished speaking with clenched teeth, he coldly said, "Because of what you said, I will kill you first!"

"I lived my life in Dinging City, I didn't provoke you, and I didn't offend you. You were the one who provoked me, and you wanted to destroy my family and my relatives. I told you, even if I die today, I will make you stay in Jingyang Hill!"

"You think you can control others' lives and act as you please. Now I will tell you, some people might retreat, but some people will only resist!"

"With my blood, I dare to cleanse the sky!"

Fang Ling's voice was not loud, but it made everyone present tremble.

Senior Sister Xu seemed to be moved by something, pondered for a moment, and looked at Senior Sister Qin.

Senior Sister Qin's gaze was cold, and she did not speak.

The man surnamed Tu, after squinting and looking at Fang Ling a few times, looked at Senior Brother Ma.

"Boy, what a big mouth, but you can only talk. Daring to cleanse the sky with your blood! That's a good phrase, but now it's time for you to go."

As he spoke, he moved his fingers, and the sword light, like a shooting star, slashed toward Fang Ling.

"Senior Sister, he..." Senior Sister Xu hesitated.

"Senior Sister, this person must die. The Jade Tiger Blood is a forbidden item of our three major sects. No matter what his reason, he must die for entering. Besides, is it worth it to offend the Nine Lotus Sect for such a minor character?"

Senior Sister Xu nodded and did not speak.

Senior Brother Tu and Lei Mo just coldly watched. To them, this young man, dead or alive, was of no concern!

Although the young man's initial move was strange, they did not believe he could escape Senior Brother Ma's sword.

After all, he was just a Fifth Level Qi Cultivation ant.

However, just as the sword light was about to strike Fang Ling, both the sword and Fang Ling disappeared into the void!

Senior Brother Ma's heart sank, but he immediately sensed the flying sword connected to his life.

He coldly laughed and said, "Trivial trick!"

As he spoke, he leaped toward Fang Ling's position.

Floating in the air, Senior Brother Ma was like a cloud crane, graceful and ethereal.

Just as Young Master Qingluo was a bit envious of Senior Brother Ma's improved cultivation, his head strangely fell off.

Spatial rift!

This was Fang Ling's ultimate move!
