Chapter 58: Chu Tiange

Unexpectedly, a Ninth Rank Qi Master had ambushed the five of them.

The bloody figure was the "Human Form True Qi" of the Ninth Rank Qi Master, elusive and unpredictable.

Under normal circumstances, five Eighth Rank miscellaneous students encountering a Ninth Rank person would likely be wiped out. Unfortunately, there was Yang Qi in the group, a unique individual. The blood shadow's attack was repelled by his True Qi.

"Who would have thought that among the miscellaneous students of the Heavenly Position Academy, there is still a master?"

A sinister voice echoed.

The entire abandoned ancient city was filled with sound waves, and a gust of bloody wind carried a strong stench of blood, making one want to vomit.

"Quickly prepare the detoxifying pills. This is a blood poison technique; the bloody air contains potent toxins."

Hua Yinhu struggled to take out a pill from his chest, a pill that could dispel the poison. After swallowing it, his complexion improved, and the blood-colored toxic gas was expelled from his body by his Qi technique.

"Brother Yang, you should take one too."

Li He also took out a detoxifying pill. They were experienced and well-prepared. "We still have a chance to escape. As long as we combine our Qi techniques and send out a signal, disciples within a hundred miles will hear and quickly come to our aid."

As he spoke, he held a firework in his hand.

At the first opportunity, he would shoot it into the sky, where it would burst into beautiful fireworks visible for hundreds of miles.

This was a distress signal.

"No need, this trivial blood poison cannot affect me." Yang Qi's True Qi was always circulating, blocking all impurities and bloody air.

Even with him as the center, the area around him, several dozen steps in all directions, was calm and the weather became mild.

Sensing this, the other four immediately moved closer to Yang Qi.

They were not ordinary people; seeing this situation, how could they not know? Yang Qi's strength far exceeded theirs, and he had always hidden his true abilities, which he finally revealed.

"Yang Qi, I didn't expect you to be so deep and hidden." He Jili rubbed his hands excitedly. "Could it be that you have already advanced to the Ninth Rank Qi Master? I thought about competing with you, but that would be self-deprecating, wouldn't it?"

"I am not a Ninth Rank Qi Master," Yang Qi smiled and shook his head. "But I can勉强 (barely) match a Qi Master. So don't act rashly; just follow my lead."

In fact, with Yang Qi's cultivation, if he fully unleashed his power, he could easily find and directly kill the Qi Master hidden in the ancient city. However, such a feat would be too shocking.

He could only use the Invincible King Fist and the Great Golden Bell Body Qi Technique.

He couldn't even use the Four Seasons Sword Technique.

Otherwise, if word got out that he knew the Spring and Autumn Sect's ultimate techniques, it would cause significant trouble. He wasn't afraid for himself, but he had his family, his father, and his older brothers to consider.

However, with his powerful True Qi, using the Invincible King Fist and the Great Golden Bell Body Qi Technique was enough to defeat a Qi Master.

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha..."

A sinister and cruel laugh echoed again: "Boy, you are so confident, thinking that a bit of powerful Qi can help you escape my grasp? What a joke. A few ignorant boys want to learn to slay demons and eliminate evil? But you are all Eighth Rank, transcending the mundane, and your blood must be very nourishing, much better than the blood of ordinary people. I will drain you all dry."

"Hmph! Stop playing tricks, come out!"

Yang Qi suddenly stomped his foot, and a large stone on the ground shattered. Driven by his True Qi, it spun at high speed and shot towards the city wall, creating a sonic boom in the air.

"Huh?"

A cry of surprise echoed.

Then a blood shadow flashed, and the large stone was shattered.

A tall man in a blood-red robe walked out.

This man had a fierce appearance, pale complexion, and two long canine teeth, seemingly designed for blood-sucking. His body carried a deep demonic aura, half-human, half-demon. A powerful blood-colored Qi technique swirled around him, forming a circle of blood-colored rainbows.

He walked across the air from the city wall, each step as if on solid ground.

At the same time, many bandits appeared on the city wall, numbering in the hundreds. Each had deep Qi techniques, at least Fifth Rank Qi Masters, and Yang Qi even saw over a dozen Eighth Rank experts. They all exuded a bloody aura, looking like fierce demons.

These blood-sucking bandits stood on the wall, looking at Yang Qi and the others like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey, their gazes naked and predatory.

"It's over!"

Li He and the others, seeing this formation, turned pale, their hearts sinking into the depths of despair.

Hua Yinhu could no longer hold back and threw the firework into the sky.

Swoosh!

A powerful light shot into the sky, exploding and creating a continuous whistling sound. The sky continuously flashed with the character "Heaven."

It was clearly visible for hundreds of miles around.

"Go ahead, I have already set up a net. There is no one within hundreds of miles. You think you can call for help from the Heavenly Position Academy? That's a delusion."

The Qi Master leader, upon landing, looked at the firework in the sky but did not stop it, seemingly fearless.

His gaze fell on Yang Qi. "I want this boy's blood. The rest of the boys' blood, you can divide among yourselves."

"Yes!"

On the city wall, many blood-sucking bandits laughed maniacally.

"What should we do?" Hua Yinhu and the others looked at Yang Qi, who had unknowingly become their mainstay.

The ancient city was filled with so many bandits, all experts. If they all attacked, there would be no chance of escape.

Yang Qi frowned. "It seems I have to reveal my true strength and kill all these bandits in one go. However, this will inevitably cause a stir, which is not in my favor. But it will also instantly awe the four of them, making them useful to me. As long as they don't reveal it, it should be fine."

Thinking this, Yang Qi's frown eased.

He was ready to unleash a massacre.

"Kill!"

The Ninth Rank Qi Master blood-sucking bandit leader suddenly roared and raised his hand.

The battle was about to begin.

But just as he shouted "kill," a long howl suddenly came from the distance.

The howl seemed to start far away but reached dozens of miles in a few breaths. The sound waves continued, and the next moment, it rolled like thunder, shaking the entire ancient city.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Even Yang Qi's face changed.

Because he recognized that none of the people he knew had such powerful True Qi. The strength contained in this howl far exceeded any Qi Master, being dozens, even hundreds of times more powerful, almost transcending the mundane.

"Could it be..." Yang Qi's body trembled. "A Life Seizing Realm expert..."

He was about to unleash his power, but hearing this howl, he slowly retracted his True Qi and waited to see what would happen.

The howl suddenly stopped.

Then, a figure appeared on the city wall.

This figure was a young man, dignified and imposing, wearing simple hemp clothing, carrying a sword, like a hermit, but the aura he emitted could make people kneel and worship.

As soon as he reached the city wall, he cast a cold glance, and everyone who met his gaze trembled, seeing a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, controlling their souls with just his eyes.

"You demons, how dare you set up an ambush to kill the students of the Heavenly Position Academy?"

His voice echoed.

The blood-sucking bandit leader, a Qi Master, screeched: "Who are you?" He had already seen that the newcomer was extraordinary.

"Chu Tiange of the Heavenly Position Academy. You will die and go to hell, don't forget this name. So you don't become a confused ghost."

As he spoke, a blazing sun-like sword light suddenly burst from behind him, illuminating the entire ancient city.

The blood-sucking bandits, who had barely reacted, were pierced by countless sword qi, screaming in agony as their bodies were cut into pieces.

"Life Seizing Realm..."

The Qi Master bandit leader roared and tried to escape, his back forming a pair of blood-colored True Qi bat wings, shooting out like lightning.

However, the blazing sun-like sword light illuminated everything, making the entire area clear and bright.

Originally, the ancient city was a ghost town, filled with yin energy, but now, under the blazing sun's sword light, all the ghostly energy was dispelled, making people feel warm and comfortable.

One move changed the weather, how powerful was that?

"Great Sun Heaven and Earth, a thousand heads, hatred and justice, the thunderous hand. How many elites are there in the Heavenly Position? Only I, Chu Tiange, sing to the heavens!"

Seeing the blood-sucking bandit leader trying to escape, Chu Tiange recited a line with a relaxed expression, and a vast sword qi swept through the air. The blood-sucking bandit leader screamed, unable to resist, and died under the sword qi.

Subsequently, a blood-colored demon core flew out from the blood-sucking leader's body.

In just one move, hundreds of bandits, including a Qi Master, were killed by Chu Tiange.

Killing without effort.

"Salute, Senior Brother Chu Tiange." Hua Yinhu, Li He, and the others bowed their heads as soon as the sword light subsided.

"Hmm." Chu Tiange glanced at everyone, pausing on Yang Qi. "Was it you who sent the signal firework?"

"Yes."

"You miscellaneous students, it's dangerous to come out to clear these blood-sucking bandits. I have already investigated; these blood-sucking bandits are trained by the Blood Demon Cave, one of the seventy-two demon kings under the Floating Mountain. They are taking advantage of the chaos to wreak havoc in the world." Chu Tiange looked at the sky. "You are no match for them; return quickly."

At this moment, several lion-like roars echoed from the sky.

Then, several black shadows appeared.

These shadows were massive creatures, with lion heads and bird bodies. Yang Qi recognized them as griffins, fierce demon beasts from ancient times, tamed by the academy for riding.

Several people jumped down from the griffins, all students of the Heavenly Position Academy, clearly of higher status than the miscellaneous students.

"Senior Brother Chu Tiange, you are indeed powerful, killing all these bandits. Even our griffins couldn't fly as fast as you." The higher-ranking students laughed, looking at the ancient city.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he stared intently at a figure, a woman in a sapphire blue robe who had just landed from a griffin.

It was her!

Yun Haiyan!
