Chapter 49: Repelling the Demonic Cultivator

  "Hmph, evil demons and heretics are to be executed by everyone!" Qin Ke'er let out a delicate cry as the spiritual pressure on her body was released. In an instant, a circle of white mist surrounded her, and at the same time, a flash of white light appeared in front of her, and a flying sword emerged.

  "I'm going to fight you!" Seeing Qin Ke'er not letting go of himself, a roar came from the black fog, and then a huge ghost head burst out of it, opening its bloody mouth and charging towards Qin Ke'er. The surrounding area was instantly enveloped in a whirlwind of dark wind.

  Qin Ke'er's right hand sword gesture urged on, flying sword surrounded by a hazy white mist enveloped, in a flash it welcomed the attack, only to see the flying sword strike the ghost head, a white light flashed, and the huge ghost head was actually cut off from the middle.

  So easily beheading the ghost, Qin Ke'er was slightly stunned, but at this time the beheaded ghost did not immediately disperse, but instead instantly transformed into two smaller ghost heads that charged towards Qin Ke'er.

  Her eyebrows furrowed, and in an instant, she stretched out her right hand with her fingers curled, and with a series of swift finger taps, two white lights shot out from her fingertips, each rushing towards one of the ghostly heads.

  In the instant that white light shoots out, the surrounding air temperature suddenly drops, as if it has entered a severe winter, and a thin layer of ice actually condenses on the ground.

  Two beams of white light collided with the ghost heads, suddenly bursting out a shocking chill. In an instant, a layer of solid ice condensed on the outside of the two ghost heads, and the solid ice sealed the two ghost heads inside.

  Just now, the two ghost heads on the coast were roaring non-stop, but now they are motionless, suspended in mid-air. Then, Qin Ke'er let out a soft drink from her mouth, and instantly, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the two blocks of solid ice. Next, with a "crack", they shattered simultaneously, and the ghost heads inside were directly crushed into ice fragments that fell to the ground.

  Qin Ke'er's sword technique was once again urged on, and the white flying sword burst out with an astonishing sword aura. In a flash, it appeared above the black fog in front of her, then slashed down at the black fog below.

  At this moment, a sword aura shot out from the white flying sword, stretching for several dozen feet. An icy breath spread through the air, and a powerful spiritual pressure enveloped the dark fog below.

  All that could be heard was the sound of angry roars coming from the black fog below, followed by the rolling of the fog, and a huge black ghost claw emerged from the fog, suddenly grabbing at the flying sword above.

  At the same time, only two things were seen rushing out of the black fog. One was a three-finger-wide black jade token, covered in eerie spiritual patterns and flashing with black spiritual light. The other was a palm-sized dark round shield, also flashing with black spiritual light.

  After the black round shield emerged, it flashed and transformed into a huge shield blocking the sky. The jade symbol also flashed and burst open, transforming into a black light screen that enveloped the entire dark fog below.

  At this moment, the flying sword in the air collided with the black ghost claw, bringing a fierce sword energy. The surface of the black ghost claw instantly condensed a layer of frost, and then cracks appeared one after another, finally bursting open. The flying sword continued to slash downwards.

  It was only blocked by the black ghost claws for a moment, and the sword energy on the flying sword weakened noticeably. Then it cut onto the black light shield, which flickered several times before shattering like foam. The sword energy continued downward, striking the black round shield with a loud crash.

  A loud "Boom" echoed, the black circular shield's surface flashed with dark light, sinking a few inches downwards, but temporarily blocking the flying sword. The two were locked in mid-air.

  In the midst of the dark fog, at the moment when the flying sword struck the round shield, the young man from the Demon Gate let out a muffled groan, and a thread of fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His face turned somewhat pale, and he looked up towards Qin Ke'er in the distance, with a venomous glare in his eyes.

  With his left hand stretched out, a flash of light appeared, and in an instant, two talismans emerged in his hand, one black and the other yellowish-brown. He slapped the two talismans onto his body, then with another flash of light from his right hand, a fist-sized black sphere materialized in his hand. His mouth let out a loud roar: "You stinky bitches, even if I die, I won't let you have it easy!"

  He suddenly threw the black orb in his hand at Qin Ke'er, and the black orb flashed to a place not far from Qin Ke'er. At this time, Qin Ke'er saw the black orb flying over, her eyebrows furrowed, her left hand waved, and a solid spiritual light shield appeared, covering herself inside. At the same time, her right hand shone brightly, and a fist-sized transparent ice shield appeared.

  Only to see that the light cover, although only the size of a fist, is exceptionally exquisite. In each of the four directions, there is an ice dragon, surrounding the ice cover in the center. The dragon's head is raised, and each mouth holds an icicle. At the moment when this ice cover appears, a strong spiritual pressure emanates from above, obviously a spirit tool of extraordinary quality.

  He tossed the ice shell onto his head, and a stream of spiritual energy shot into it. The ice shell rotated rapidly in the spiritual energy, instantly expanding and growing larger, transforming into an icy shell that was several feet high, enveloping Qin Ke'er inside.

  Qin Ke'er, standing in the icy shell, was fearless against the incoming black light ball. With a flick of her right hand, the flying sword's surface flashed with a burst of sword light, its power suddenly increasing by twofold. Instantly, the black circular shield's radiance became even more intense, and fine cracks began to appear on its surface.

  The young man in the black fog saw the transparent light shield outside Qin Ke'er, looked at the black round shield on his head again, and showed a resentful expression on his face. At this time, the black sphere had already flown to Qin Ke'er's front.

  The young man's left hand suddenly pinched out a strange seal, his mouth murmuring words, and instantly a violent spiritual wave burst out from the black light ball. Then, with a loud "boom", the black sphere exploded open.

  Suddenly, a violent and fierce power burst out from the black sphere, instantly enveloping Qin Ke'er in its power. This violent power continuously impacted the ice shield outside Qin Ke'er's body, only to see the ice shield flashing with spiritual light, as if it was about to collapse under the impact of this terrifying power.

  Qin Ke'er's face suddenly changed, a stream of spiritual energy shot out from her hand and entered the transparent ice shell. Instantly, the ice shell was filled with brilliant light, and the fluctuation situation had some relief.

  In a short time, the ground around it was torn open with countless cracks, and the hard rocks were all crushed into powder under the impact of the terrible force.

  In the distant black fog, the young man saw that such an explosion couldn't even blast open the transparent ice shell outside Qin Ke'er's body. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and his face looked extremely unsightly.

  At this time, the spiritual pressure on the young man's body was less than one-tenth of what it had been before. The black circular shield on his head had cracks all over its surface, and it seemed like it would shatter at any moment.

  He only saw him staring at Qin Ke'er with a hint of hatred, his right hand stretched out, and a flash of light appeared, a corpse suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. Then, his left hand waved, and a black bead the size of a thumb floated out. The black bead was thrown next to the corpse by the young man, then he patted himself with his left hand, and a layer of yellowish-brown light emerged, instantly wrapping the young man inside. At the same time, outside the yellowish-brown light, a faint black mist appeared, and in an instant, the young man's aura became somewhat obscure.

  Then the ground around the young man suddenly began to ripple like water, and then he sank down and disappeared quickly.

  Just after the youth disappeared, the black round shield in the air finally couldn't hold on and burst into countless fragments shooting in all directions, with a loud noise that shook the sky.

  The flying sword, with a mighty aura, slashed down violently and charged into the black fog. Immediately after, a massive explosion shook the air, causing the black fog to churn and roll. A terrifying force swept through the surroundings, and a dark cloud of smoke shot up into the sky, carrying with it a powerful gust of wind that scattered in all directions.

  At this time, Qin Ke'er suddenly flashed her body and dodged the previous black explosion. The transparent light shield outside her body had already dimmed its light, and with a flash of light, it transformed into a fist-sized shape and flew into Qin Ke'er's hand, disappearing from sight.

  Qin Ke'er's figure flashed again, and she was already standing in the place where the young man from the Demon Gate had stopped earlier. Her gaze swept across the area, and except for a large pit on the ground, there was only one corpse with a completely disfigured face, surrounded by violently surging Lin spiritual energy.

  Her gaze swept over her body, Qin Ke'er stretched out her hand and beckoned, the white flying sword flew back, but after withstanding the previous explosion, the flying sword's light was noticeably dimmer.

  She put away the flying sword and Qin Ke'er took another look at the corpse, a faint doubt flashing in her eyes. Then, a white light burst forth from her eyes, and a strange aura emanated from her body, spreading outwards. Suddenly, Qin Ke'er's brow furrowed, and she turned to look towards the left, not far away. Her right hand flashed with white light, and the flying sword reappeared, its spiritual energy surging as it instantly regained its luster. Then, in an instant, it slashed out in that direction.

  A white sword aura burst out of the flying sword and shot into the ground ten feet away, followed by a miserable cry from underground.

  "Ah, stinky old woman, I won't let you off!" It was suddenly the voice of that young man from the Demon Gate, but by the time he finished speaking, his voice had already grown fainter and fainter, before disappearing completely.

  Qin Ke'er sheathed the flying sword and flashed to where the sword energy had just entered, leaving a deep gash on the ground with bloodstains, but the young man's aura had already disappeared.

  "Hmph, unexpectedly there's a mid-grade Earth Escape Symbol" Qin Ke'er furrowed her brow, not expecting that in such a situation the young man from the Demon Gate could escape, and a look of unwillingness appeared on her face.

  But a moment later, his face relaxed and his expression returned to calm: "It seems that coming out to practice is indeed correct. The disciples of the Demon Gate are much more formidable than those of the Inner Gate. I wonder what this place is."

  She looked around, a hint of confusion in her eyes. A flash of light underfoot, and a ball of spiritual light supported her body as it slowly rose into the air.

  Qin Ke'er's eyes darted back and forth in the air, suddenly spotting a small town in the distance. Her expression changed, deciding to take a look at that place. A white light flashed, and her flying sword instantly appeared under her feet, then shot towards the direction of the small town with a flash of sword light.

  When they were still some distance from the town, Qin Ke'er had already put away her sword and landed on the ground, walking towards the town on foot.

  "Don't, save us, please don't drive us out, quickly find a doctor to treat us."

  "Hmph, you've been bitten by the Blood Bat and are beyond cure. Letting you into town would only spread the bat's poison to others. You can only blame your bad luck for encountering the Blood Bat."

  A sound entered Qin Ke'er's ears, and at this time, in the front not far away, there were many people, two kilometers away from the small town.

  Hearing the previous mournful cry for help, Qin Ke'er was curious in her heart and immediately walked over to that side, thinking about what a blood bat was at the same time.

  As they approached, they saw eight people kneeling on the ground. One was a middle-aged woman and the other seven were big men, but at this time, the seven big men were pale, their eyes dull and lifeless, their lips dry and cracked, looking extremely disheveled. The woman's face was also pale, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and she kept kowtowing to a group of people in front of her, begging for help, making her look especially helpless.

  In front of these people, there were more than a dozen armed soldiers wearing armor, who formed a semicircle and blocked the way to the town. A middle-aged officer with a mustache stood in front, and it was he who had just spoken.

  Qin Ke'er walked over slowly, and in an instant, the eyes of these people all turned around. Seeing Qin Ke'er float out of the dust like a celestial being, the eyes of more than a dozen soldiers were instantly fixed on her.
