Chapter 25: Killing the Murderous Path (Part 2)

  Lin Qiulü had been watching Qin Yifan's movements and techniques as he dodged the old Taoist's attacks, paying special attention. Although her school was a sword sect, they still had some involvement with worldly martial arts; otherwise, she wouldn't be carrying a Phoenix Scabbard Treasure Sword on her person, that sword wasn't just for show.

  However, the duel between Qin Yifan and Yuan Qing Lao Dao made Lin Qiulü have a further understanding of the martial arts she had always looked down on. In terms of cultivation, Qin Yifan and Yuan Qing Lao Dao are simply incomparable. Qin Yifan is only excellent in martial arts, but Lao Dao has the techniques of the Taoist school, plus the magical classics he cultivated later, with hundreds of years of power, Qin Yifan can't be compared to him at all.

  But now, Yuan Qing was unable to do anything about Qin Yifan. The evasive techniques in martial arts seemed to have been used by Qin Yifan to the extreme, and even Yuan Qing's attacks were all dodged. Although the aura of evil spirits here had an impact, martial arts still played a crucial role.

  The old Daoist also knew his own situation, and with a flip of his hand, an object resembling a seal appeared on his left hand. He muttered to himself for a few moments before tossing the seal high into the air. As soon as it caught wind, the seal grew in size, transforming into a massive square shape that was several meters wide. It hurtled towards Qin Yifan's head with great force. After throwing out the seal, Yuan Qing Old Daoist spat out fresh blood once again and almost collapsed to the ground.

  Seal flew over, Qin Yifan took a step forward, his toes tapped the ground, and his body had already bounced into the air. Seal happened to be flying towards Qin Yifan, one foot lightly tapping on Seal's back in mid-air, borrowing force, his body flew towards Yuan Qing Lao Dao.

  The seal in the air seemed to have grown eyes, following Qin Yifan as he flew over. As the wind picked up, Qin Yifan couldn't help but attack the old Daoist below. With a sudden turn in mid-air, he punched the giant seal that was flying towards him, using the rebounding force to bring his body closer to the old Daoist once again.

  In the past, it was always about competing with enemies in terms of magical abilities and cultivation. The old Dao had never seen such a martial arts technique before. In his impression, to determine who was stronger between two people, one only needed to compare their magical abilities and cultivation. There had never been a case where a magical ability couldn't hit someone who didn't use any divine powers. Looking at Qin Yifan flying over in the air with the giant seal, the old Dao was shocked. He hastily recited an incantation, but Qin Yifan's movement technique was too fast, and his reaction was already somewhat delayed.

  Qin Yifan's fist heavily slammed onto the old Daoist's body, followed by the massive seal also heavily crashing onto the old Daoist's head. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and the seal returned to its normal size after just one crash, barely leaving a bloody gash on the old Daoist's head.

  However, Qin Yifan's punch was not so easy to take, with a burst of crazy explosive force in his internal energy, like a withered tree hitting the old Taoist's internal organs. The old Taoist could no longer maintain his somewhat calm face, let out a painful cry, and his body swayed before losing its trace. Only a puff of blood that had not had time to dissipate remained on the spot, slowly falling from the air.

  Escape technique, Qin Yifan's mind had just flashed with this thought, the ground seemed to suddenly boil over, several consecutive locations exploded open, but nothing appeared. The underground still transmitted a faint and distant heavy impact sound.

  Before Qin Yifan could figure out what was going on, the ground not far in front of him suddenly burst open, and a figure shot up into the sky, accompanied by a miserable cry. Behind the figure, a black shadow closely followed, tightly chasing after the figure in front, attacking from time to time.

  Qin Yifan saw clearly that the figure in front was naturally Yuan Qing Lao Dao, while the figure behind was a yin corpse. It was also destined for Yuan Qing Lao Dao to be unlucky, thinking of using earth escape method to flee here, although his escape technique could be said to be magical, but compared with the instincts of the yin corpse, there was still a certain gap. Moreover, the old dao was seriously injured at this moment.

  Qin Yifan had already harbored murderous intentions towards Lao Dao, otherwise the vengeful corpse would not have controlled the corpse to attack Lao Dao. At this moment, in the vengeful corpse's territory underground, how could it possibly let Lao Dao off easily? The heavy impact Qin Yifan heard on the ground was the sound of the vengeful corpse attacking. The vengeful corpse's heavy punch, Qin Yifan had only experienced once on the ground, but this time Lao Dao would definitely have more say in the matter.

  Affected by the evil spirit, he was hit by Qin Yifan's punch and then beaten by the corpse king for several punches. The old Taoist's Xuan Gong was also very powerful, and at this time, he still had the ability to rush up and escape. However, it was clear that the old Taoist was also exhausted, and his speed when rushing out was clearly incomparable to before.

  Suddenly, the old Dao who was folding in mid-air seemed to have been hit by something and stopped abruptly. Qin Yifan's eyesight was superhuman, and a sword shadow suddenly appeared in front of the old Dao, the sword piercing through his body, but it was Lin Qiulü seizing the only opportunity to launch a flying sword attack.

  Lin Qiulü spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground after being ambushed. She still couldn't use her flying sword skills freely here. Qin Yifan had already clashed with Lao Dao, she couldn't stay out of it, and besides, Lao Dao's character wouldn't let her live afterwards either. Just waiting for half a day was just for this one opportunity.

  The old Taoist who was hit by the sword seemed to have not died yet, relying on inertia to turn his body back with difficulty, and with a mouthful of blood, he spat out the sword in his mouth with his last bit of strength, rushing straight towards the dark corpse. The sword was covered in the old Taoist's fresh blood, appearing bright red all over.

  The dark corpse, however, did not dodge or evade, and instead faced the sword light head-on. It even stretched out its hand to grab it. The red sword light twisted and turned in the dark corpse's hand, as if struggling, but was unable to break free from the dark corpse's incredibly powerful grasp, being held firmly in place.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Yifan also drew closer to Lao Dao, and with a swing of his knife, he lightly swept across Lao Dao's neck. Lao Dao's head flew high into the air, blood gushing out like a fountain from his severed neck, before finally stopping after a while. At this moment, the sword in Yin Shi's hand also stopped struggling, quietly coming to rest in Yin Shi's grasp.

  "Beware of his escaping soul!" Heavily injured Lin Qiulü, disregarding her own injuries, loudly reminded Qin Yifan. Qin Yifan was taken aback - an escaping soul, how could he catch it?

  Before Qin Yifan could react, a red glow suddenly rose from the surface of the lake. In Qin Yifan's astonished gaze, the red glow quickly enveloped a faint white mist, and then rapidly returned to the bottom of the lake. At the same time, a hoarse cry and the scene of Lao Dao being wrapped in red light and struggling non-stop appeared in everyone's minds, but after a moment, there was no sound anymore.

  Since his debut, Qin Yifan has never encountered such a troublesome opponent, and it actually took so many moves to thoroughly kill him. Fortunately, there was the old brother in the lake, otherwise, the old Dao's primordial spirit would have escaped, and at that time, who knows what kind of trouble would have arisen.

  "You're really good at picking up cheap things!" Qin Yifan joked with the old brother in the lake, and when he just started, he didn't see how much help the old brother in the lake was, but in the end, he got the old Dao's Yuanshen alone, and it seemed that the one who gained the most should be him.
