Chapter 66: The Golden Elixir Expert

  As they saw the Qingzhou Fang City in front of them, Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er were greatly invigorated, and the flying boat suddenly accelerated forward, while in the distance behind, dark clouds rolled in.

  "Huh? Why did those two little guys suddenly speed up?" A hint of puzzlement flashed across the lone soul's eyes in the dark cloud, and a surprised cry escaped his lips.

  "Hmph, no matter how you two try to escape, you can't get out of my palm!" The lone soul suddenly let out a cold hum, and the black cloud under his feet suddenly accelerated in pursuit.

  Qingzhou Fang City was not very famous, and naturally, a demonic cultivator like Gu Huanshang had never been there before. He didn't know that the strange mountain in front of him was where Qingzhou Fang City was located.

  "Hmph, this detestable demonic cultivator actually dares to chase after me!" Wang Ke turned his head back and coldly snorted.

  "Never mind him, as long as the Golden Elixir period master inside is alerted, I'm sure he won't be able to finish it and leave." Qin Ke'er said calmly.

  The flying boat sped forward rapidly, and as it got closer to the town, many ordinary cultivators appeared on the ground. These cultivators either unfolded their bodies or walked slowly, most of whom were loose cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. Many people looked up at the flying boat with envy in their eyes, for such spiritual energy was not something that ordinary cultivators could possess.

  "Look quickly, what's behind", a monk suddenly noticed the black cloud rolling in from afar.

  "It's bad, it's a demonic cultivator!" A cry of alarm came from the middle-aged cultivator's mouth, and without hesitation, he unfolded his body technique and escaped to the side.

  "Ha ha... so many supplements, it's really great!" A sharp laugh came from the dark cloud, and then the dark cloud suddenly turned direction in mid-air and shot towards the scattered cultivators below.

  "Everyone, run quickly!" Xia Xiu looked down and saw the dark cloud rushing towards him, so he immediately started to unfold his body technique to escape. However, from within the black cloud came the proud voice of Guan Yu, followed by a sudden turmoil in the cloud, and several black light bands shot out like an octopus's tentacles.

  The tentacles moved extremely fast, as if they had grown eyes, chasing after the scattered monks. One of them suddenly coiled around a monk's waist and pulled him back.

  "Spare my life!" The monk's face turned pale with terror, and he began to beg for mercy while struggling desperately, his inferior flying sword slashing at the black light ribbon.

  However, the black light strip was exceptionally tough and no matter how many times the flying sword cut it, it had no effect at all. In the end, he could only watch as he was dragged into the demonic cloud by the black light strip, followed by a blood-curdling scream from within the cloud.

  Meanwhile, the other black light strips also caught up with the monks below, and almost none of them escaped as they were all wrapped up by the black light strips and dragged towards the dark cloud.

  "Ahahahaha... Great, I didn't expect there to be so many cultivators. Although their cultivation is a bit low, their souls are still excellent supplements!" One by one, the scattered cultivators were pulled into the demonic cloud by the light ribbon, letting out mournful and pained cries. Unfortunately, most of these cultivators hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage, and as scattered cultivators, they didn't have any means to save their lives. Their struggles at this moment seemed exceptionally weak.

  In just a dozen or so breaths, the scattered cultivators below had all been pulled into the demonic cloud. After a round of miserable screams, corpse after corpse fell out of the cloud, their faces still twisted in terror, their bodies contorted in struggling postures, filled with resentment.

  "This demoniac has gone mad, and yet he still dares to slaughter people here!" Wang Ke's complexion changed as he spoke, having sensed the situation behind him through his divine consciousness.

  "Never mind, let's talk about it when we get to Zhenmo Mountain." Qin Ke'er's pale face also had a solemn expression. At this time, they were still about 10 kilometers away from Zhenmo Mountain. The flying boat flashed forward by a hundred feet, and at this speed, it wouldn't take long to reach the outskirts of the city.

  Behind them, the lone soul chased after the two relentlessly, rushing forward at high speed. When they saw a loose cultivator nearby, they only paused for a moment to use their Thunderbolt Technique to take care of the ordinary loose cultivator before continuing their pursuit.

  Looking far ahead, the town of Zhēnmó Mountain is lush and green, with half of the mountain shrouded in white clouds, while the so-called Qingzhou Prefecture is still nowhere to be seen.

  "Huh, why can't I still see the town? Could it be that the map is wrong?" Wang Ke said with a puzzled expression, his eyes fixed on the front, as if they should have been able to see it from this distance.

  "I don't know, maybe it's been hidden by some formation" or so thought Qin Ke'er. In any case, the spiritual lands of the sects were usually concealed by formations, and if Qingzhou Town was indeed in front of Demon Subduing Mountain, then this was the only possibility.

  At this time, only 7 or 8 kilometers away from the Town Demon Mountain ahead, Wang Ke suddenly felt a divine consciousness sweeping over his body, and he was shocked, his whole body shaking.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing something unusual on Wang Ke's body, Qin Ke'er asked in puzzlement.

  "Sister, didn't you sense a powerful divine consciousness sweeping by just now?" Wang Ke was taken aback, the feeling had been very clear. This divine consciousness came from the direction of Town Demon Mountain, and judging from its intensity, the person who possessed it was extremely powerful. Wang Ke even judged that the person was the Golden Dan stage cultivator from Qingzhou Prefecture.

  "No?" Qin Ke'er looked over with a puzzled expression.

  "Well, maybe I just felt it wrong then." Wang Ke shrugged and said helplessly, as for why he could sense it so clearly, he didn't know the reason either.

  "It seems that there is something mysterious about me that even I don't know." Wang Ke let out a helpless sigh in his heart. Although this body was his own, there were still many things that he himself wasn't clear about. The Condensed Origin Decision, the Furnace Body should have some connection to that mysterious box, but how did it directly appear in his mind? And also the Shooting Sun Strike that he used to defeat You Hunzi, mysteriously appeared in his mind as well, leaving even him somewhat perplexed.

  Half a day passed and he still couldn't figure out the reason, Wang Ke shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Just then, a sudden surge of spiritual energy came from afar, and in the distance, the air rippled like water as a red light burst forth, emitting a terrifying aura.

  "In front of him, there was indeed a hidden array, with an extremely powerful aura. Moreover, there were Golden Core stage experts sitting in ambush." As he looked at the ripples in the air, he vaguely saw some blurry house shadows behind, and felt the terrifying aura emanating from the escaping light, Wang Ke's face lit up with great joy.

  "It should be aware of the demon's movement, this is good, with the Golden Elixir period senior taking action, this demon is not to be feared" Qin Ke'er also let out a breath, finally feeling truly safe.

  "Daring demon head, how dare you commit a crime in my Qingzhou!" A loud shout came from Xun Guang's transmission, like thunderous thunder, echoing all around. Xun Guang's speed was extremely fast, and he instantly rushed past Qin Ke'er and Wang Ke's side, but didn't pay attention to the two people's meaning.

  In the distance, a lone soul was proudly collecting scattered spirits when suddenly a powerful aura appeared in front of him, followed by an earth-shaking roar beside his ear.

  Upon hearing this voice, the complexion of the Lonely Soul Upper Person suddenly changed, and without hesitation, he turned around the magic cloud and shot back, "A Golden Elixir Cultivator, how detestable! How could you appear in this place?" The Lonely Soul Upper Person had not expected that chasing after Wang Ke and the other would lead him to the borders of Qingzhou Prefecture. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have so flagrantly collected souls.

  The demonic cloud fled in a hurry, its speed even faster than when it came. The golden elixir cultivator's escaping light was even quicker, and soon a cold hum was heard from within the light. Then, a red glow flashed in the air as an object was flung out of the escaping light.

  All that was seen was a red light, suddenly a flame, the flame wrapped around this short hammer with a strange shape, the short hammer shot out at an extremely fast speed, bringing a sharp piercing sound, and in a breath, it arrived above the magic cloud.

  Then, a burst of flames erupted, and the short hammer rose up in the firelight, instantly transforming into a gigantic strange hammer. The surface of this strange hammer was covered with mysterious spiritual patterns, surrounded by scarlet flames, which fiercely smashed down towards the dark clouds below.

  "Roar!" Feeling the threat coming from above, a hint of panic appeared on the face of the lonely soul in the magic cloud. He gritted his teeth and took out the Soul-Capturing Flag. With a shake of his right hand, he muttered to himself. The surface of the flag flickered with a faint glow, and rolling black light surged out from it, gathering towards the top of his head.

  Faintly visible in the dark light were faces that struggled incessantly, filled with fear, helplessness and resentment, gathering together above.

  At this moment, a strange hammer wrapped in flames slammed down, violently hitting the black light. The fire suddenly surged, and only a piercing "hiss" sound was heard. Large pieces of black light were instantly evaporated by the high temperature of the flames, and countless unwilling roars were faintly audible from within the black light.

  In the dark cloud, the lonely soul saw that the black light mass above could not last for long. He stretched out his hand and took out a black jade token, stuck it on his body, and instantly a black light shield flickered and wrapped him inside.

  At the same time, the black light group above was dispersed, and the strange hammer fell heavily on the magic cloud. From a distance, the magic cloud rolled continuously, with flames burning fiercely above, and the two entwined together, emitting various sharp explosive sounds in the air.

  A moment later, a loud "boom" shook the air as the dark cloud exploded, followed by a mournful cry. A black light burst out of the explosion, and it was suddenly clear that it was Gu Shengyin. At this time, Gu Shengyin's black clothes were tattered, with fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his hair disheveled, and many burn marks left on his body. The corner of his mouth still had fresh blood, and his breath had become much weaker.

  He turned his head and gave a venomous glance at the distant light, then waved his right hand, and a black circular disc appeared out of thin air. It spun around in mid-air before transforming into a giant flying disc. The lone soul stepped onto the disc, pointed with his finger, and a strong black aura burst forth from the disc, enveloping his figure inside. Suddenly, it transformed into a black light that shot forward at incredible speed, faster than the golden elixir cultivator's escaping light by about threefold.

  "Huh, there's actually such a flying spirit tool" The void paused for a moment, and a majestic old man with a full face of red light appeared in the air. The old man wore a fiery red long gown, on which were embroidered some flame patterns, looking like a ball of flames surrounding him as he burned. What was strange was that even his hair was fiery red, as if it too was a ball of flames.

  Seeing the lonely soul quickly escaping, he stopped and still had the heavy responsibility of guarding the city. He couldn't leave easily. With a wave of his hand, a red light flashed in the distance, and the strange small hammer somehow returned to its original size and flew directly into the old man's sleeve, disappearing from sight. Then he turned around, set up the escaping light and shot back.
