Chapter 55: The Battle Begins

  "Heh heh, Ling Feng, you shouldn't be hesitating now, right? What if she goes back and tells the sect about us being together with you? I'm afraid you won't have a good time." Youguizi chuckled and said to Ling Feng.

  "Lingfeng, don't forget that most of the hundreds of civilians were provided by you. This time, the Soul Refining Flag was successfully refined, and your contribution is not small," another black-robed cultivator said in a cold voice.

  "You!" Ling Feng suddenly became furious, staring at the black-robed monk who spoke, his spiritual power fluctuating wildly.

  "Soul Refining Flag!" Lin Qi stood beside Qin Ke'er, his brow furrowed. He knew what the Soul Refining Flag was - a extremely vicious demonic artifact of the Demonic Sect that required a large number of living souls to be sacrificed during its refinement. Wherever the Soul Refining Flag appeared, it would often leave behind a trail of death and destruction, with corpses scattered all over the place. The Orthodox cultivators deeply detested this cruel method of refining artifacts.

  Wang Ke could feel a sudden burst of astonishing killing intent emanating from Qin Ke'er beside him, and as he turned his gaze, he saw that her face was now icy cold, her eyes scanning the crowd with a single glance.

  "Hmm, now the only way is to get rid of these two people, otherwise there will be consequences, I think you should know yourself, no matter if she is the young master or not, now it's up to you to decide."

  The words of the two Mo Men cultivators had pushed Ling Feng and the others to a dead end. If the news that they were helping the Mo Men cultivator refine the demonic flag leaked out, the consequences would be disastrous.

  "This can't be blamed on me, Young Master!" Ling Feng's expression changed several times, finally settling into a ruthless look as he stared at Qin Ke'er, his killing intent bursting out.

  The five cultivators of the Wan Fa Men and Jin Jian Men, along with him, were like locusts on the same line, and at this moment, they also burst out with strong killing intent towards Qin Ke'er.

  "You stinky girls, you've been chasing me for three days and nights, now I'll make you wish you were dead!" the seriously injured monk who was beaten by Qin Ke'er said fiercely.

  "This little girl is indeed born delicate, later when taking action don't use too much force, it's also good to leave some for play."

  "Looking for death!" Qin Ke'er was truly angry at this moment, and a extremely powerful spiritual pressure burst out from her body, instantly enveloping the surroundings in a terrifying spiritual pressure.

  "Everyone, let's go up together. First, let's take care of this mid-term Nascent Soul cultivator, and leave these little girls for us to have some fun with. The young master of the Qingmu Sect should be quite tasty, shouldn't he?" Yu Hunzi's face revealed a lustful and depraved expression.

  Feeling the aura bursting out of Qin Ke'er, all eleven cultivators in the surrounding circle burst out with spiritual energy. Suddenly, Qin Ke'er's figure moved, and a white light flashed in her hand as a white flying sword appeared. She flashed to the front of You Hunzi, who had just spoken, and suddenly slashed out with her sword, releasing a terrifying aura from her body. A strong spiritual energy fluctuation was emitted from the flying sword on her right hand. At this moment, a white sword glow burst out from the flying sword, flashing to the top of You Hunzi's head.

  "Wow, so fast!" Watching Qin Ke'er burst into an attack, the eyes of the people around her flashed with shock. Wang Ke's expression changed slightly, and at this moment, Qin Ke'er's strength was much stronger than he had ever seen before.

  You Hunzi was also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and as he watched the sword energy approach, his face first revealed a hint of shock, but quickly calmed down. He raised his left hand, and a black shield suddenly appeared, initially only the size of a palm, triangular in shape, with a somewhat rough surface.

  However, after the shield emerged, Hei Mang flashed and instantly transformed into a black shield with a diameter of over three feet in front of him.

  Then his right hand touched his waist, and in an instant, a five-inch-high black gourd appeared on his hand. He threw the black gourd into the air, and after a flash of light, three black lights burst out from it. The black lights twisted in mid-air and transformed into three ferocious beasts with terrifying faces, which instantly charged towards Qin Ke'er.

  The two of them were very fast, and the people around them had not yet reacted, only to see Qin Ke'er's sword slash heavily onto the shield.

  A crisp "crack" sound echoed, and a thick black shield appeared with a crack on its surface, the black edges flickering as if it was about to shatter at any moment.

  Upon hearing the voice from the shield, Youlingzi's face suddenly turned ugly. The three-headed black ferocious beast charged towards Qin Ke'er, and a series of beastly roars echoed through the air.

  However, at this moment, Qin Ke'er lightly stretched out her left hand, and a white light shot out from the tip of her finger. In an instant, the white light transformed into a thick icy cold light pillar, which suddenly wrapped up the three giant beasts that were charging over.

  The only sound was the roar from the three-headed beast's mouth, which grew lower and lower until it finally stopped. Then the white fog dispersed, and the three-headed beast was sealed in a block of solid ice.

  Then Qin Ke'er snapped her fingers, and a sword light shot out from her fingertips, hitting the solid ice. A crack began to appear on the surface of the solid ice, and in an instant, it spread to every inch of the solid ice.

  A loud "crack" echoed as the massive ice burst open, sending countless shards of ice flying in all directions. The three black behemoths inside shattered along with the ice, transforming into a dark mist that vanished into thin air.

  "You stinky girls dare to destroy my beast soul, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you later!" The vengeful spirit roared in fury as he saw the three giant beasts he had released being instantly annihilated.

  The three beast souls were finally obtained with great difficulty, but unexpectedly they were easily destroyed the first time they were taken out to battle, just like Qin Ke'er's magic was restrained by the beast souls.

  "Second Brother, be careful, this stinky girl's strength is very powerful."

  "Hmph, what are you waiting for? Let's go together. That little kid on the other side of Lingfeng will be left to you to deal with." The third brother Mori Huan turned his head and glanced at Lingfeng, and in an instant, a black circular ring appeared in his hand. With a burst of spiritual energy, the ring suddenly released an astonishing black thorn.

  Mo Ri's soul body suddenly appeared on Qin Ke'er's side, the ring in his hand swung towards Qin Ke'er, and instantly the black ring transformed into dozens of identical rings that collided with Qin Ke'er.

  A sharp, piercing sound echoed out, and each ring emitted a strong aura, clearly this attack was not ordinary. Meanwhile, the other demonic cultivators saw Mori's soul move and also surrounded him.

  One of them flashed a black mang in his hand, and a root of a yard-long black strange vine appeared. The vine was full of sharp thorns, looking extremely ferocious, and each thorn flashed with blue mang, looking like it had severe toxicity.

  The monk's foot moved and he rushed towards Qin Ke'er, his right hand raised, the black strange vine twisted and rushed towards Qin Ke'er, looking like a black spirit snake.

  Another monk took out a black steel spear, the tip of which was shining with cold light, and its sharpness was unparalleled. He held the spear and flashed to the other side of Qin Ke'er, pointing at her.

  There was also a monk who suddenly pulled out a colorful leather bag from his waist, shook his hand, and dropped out a large snake with colorful spots. The big snake had triangular eyes, bright colors, and it was clear that it was a highly toxic substance. After the poisonous snake came out, it suddenly grew longer and transformed into a length of about two zhang, opening its mouth to bite Qin Ke'er.

  The monk who was severely injured by Qin Ke'er is now standing in the distance without making a move. He no longer has the strength to launch another attack and is simply staring at Qin Ke'er with a fierce gaze.

  Although they knew Qin Ke'er's cultivation was profound, the five of them were all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with powerful strength, much stronger than him. They thought that the five of them together would have no problem dealing with Qin Ke'er.

  On the other hand, the six people of Lingfeng had already surrounded Lin Qi inside. Everyone's eyes showed a sinister look, and only heard Lingfeng coldly laugh: "Wang Ke, junior brother, can only blame your bad luck for hearing something you shouldn't have".

  "Oh, really? Ears are born to listen, there's nothing that should or shouldn't be heard." Wang Ke said calmly, but his gaze turned towards Qin Ke'er, seeing the five powerful Mo Gate cultivators launching an attack on her, a hint of worry flashed in Wang Ke's eyes.

  However, facing the attack of five people, Qin Ke'er was calm and composed, without any panic. The flying sword in her hand shone brightly, releasing a powerful spiritual energy that instantly shattered the black shield. A strong sword aura swept past Youlingzi's body, but he retreated quickly, avoiding the attack. However, the intense whirlwind still made his face ache, and a long gash was left on the front of his black robe.

  Take a step back, You Hunzi's face was solemn as he stared at Qin Ke'er, in the brief exchange of blows, he had already judged that Qin Ke'er's strength surpassed his own.

  Repelling the wandering soul, Qin Ke'er did not pursue, her left hand waved, and several sword lights shot out from her hand, flashing towards the incoming black light circle.

  "Bang...!" The sword light and the black halo collided, bursting into a fierce impact, sparks flying everywhere, spiritual energy surging out, and the black halo was completely shattered.

  On the other hand, the black strange vine also rushed over, entwining Qin Ke'er's waist like a spirit snake. However, Qin Ke'er was already prepared and with a wave of her left hand, a transparent light shield appeared in her palm, instantly transforming into a cover that wrapped itself around her.

  The black vines wrapped around, but were blocked by the light shield. The sharp thorns on the vines seemed to have no effect on the light shield, and another attack had already fallen beside it. A black steel spear was seen falling onto the transparent light shield.

  "Ding!" It was as if it had hit a bronze bell, and the sharp steel spear was also blocked. Finally, looking at the pouncing poisonous snake, Qin Ke'er swung her left hand, and a white mist burst forth, instantly enveloping the monster inside.

  Astonishing cold air emanated from the white fog, wrapping the venomous snake inside. Instantly, it became restless and agitated, rolling about ceaselessly, yet unable to resist the invasion of the chill. In an instant, the snake's spirit was utterly enfeebled.

  Seeing Qin Ke'er facing the attack of five Mo Men cultivators and still being able to respond easily, Wang Ke felt a lot more at ease and let out a sigh of relief. Jin Jian glared at Wang Ke, coldly snorting: "Hmph, you still have the leisure to worry about others? You little brat is going to die!"

  Only to see the golden sword's body surge with momentum, a golden sword light burst out from his body, shining brightly with dazzling golden light, emitting a powerful aura from above, and its spiritual energy was extremely pure.

  Watching Jin Jian take action, the others didn't panic and attack. Only Wan Fa Men's Wan Ke looked at Jin Jian with a smile and praised: "Brother Jin Jian's spiritual power is truly pure, probably more than three times that of a cultivator of the same rank. With such spiritual power bursting out, the sword technique of the Jin Jian Gate must be extremely shocking."

  "Heh heh, that goes without saying. Brother Jin Jian has an extremely high innate talent, and with his unusual encounter, his spiritual power is now extremely pure. He's already very famous within the sect." said Jin Qian, a member of the Golden Sword Sect, with a proud expression.

  "Haha, Wang Ke may be a bit weird, but as a mid-term Nasal Qi cultivator, he definitely can't handle this move." Jin Dun looked at Jin Jian with envy in his eyes, and strong confidence on his face.

  At this moment, the golden sword burst out with an astonishing sword light, and Wang Ke stood there calmly, his eyes casually looking at the golden sword, feeling the pure spiritual power of the golden sword. Wang Ke sneered in his heart: "It seems that today is destined to be filled with blood." Afterwards, Wang Ke's eyes also gradually became cold and indifferent.
