Chapter 206: Chapter 151: Slashing the Evil with One Strike! [Second Update!]

Feng City.

Temple top floor.

This place was surrounded from all sides by Divine Mirrors.

The temple priest always took turns on guard duty here.

Its function was similar to the Observatory Tower of High Willow City.

However, it was neither as tall nor could it see as far as the Observatory Tower.

Although the "Divine Mirror" used was essentially the same, the area reflected by the Divine Mirror at the temple’s top floor in Feng City was limited to within a sixty-mile radius.

Beyond sixty miles, it would appear blurry and unclear.

"Third Elder, a powerful Evil Spirit has appeared in the south. It might surpass the ordinary range of evil spirits," said the temple priest.

"A fierce entity?"

This third-ranked temple priest showed a hint of alarm and hurriedly walked outside to look into the Divine Mirror.

He soon let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it’s beyond sixty miles."

Meanwhile, the chief in charge spoke in a low voice, "Just now, there was an eruption of an abnormal Qi, resembling that of someone from the Qi Refining Realm."

"Qi Refining Realm?"

The third temple priest frowned and said, "Could it be that entity just encountered that fierce Evil Spirit? But even if it’s from the Qi Refining Realm, one wouldn’t dare to easily wage a battle against such a powerful Evil Spirit, right?"

So, it was only for a moment, the Qi Mechanism vanished, and that person from the Qi Refining Realm most likely hid in the Pure Land," surmised the chief.

"Tell someone to go downstairs and report this to all the temple priests," ordered the Third Elder.

The Third Elder pondered, "Keep a close watch. If that fierce Evil Spirit continues to approach Feng City, we will have no peace tonight."

The chief hesitated, then asked, "Should we report this to the City Guard Mansion and the Observatory?"

As the night had already set in and the situation was unclear, even if we informed them, it wouldn’t help... They certainly wouldn’t risk leaving the city and putting themselves in danger!" said the Third Elder, shaking his head slightly.

"Keep watching. If the status of that fierce Evil Spirit remains unchanged and it doesn’t approach Feng City, it must be just passing by. We’ll just wait for it to leave," he said.

As he was about to turn back and re-enter the building,

he heard another chief speak, his voice trembling.

"Third Elder?"

"..."

Feeling a sense of unease, the third temple priest quickly turned around and looked towards the Divine Mirror.

He saw two beams of light on the mirror’s surface, gradually drawing closer to each other!

"Is this new Qi Mechanism from a person of the Qi Refining Realm?" queried the Temple Priest.

The third temple priest paused, thinking to himself, "Is he planning to wage a desperate battle against such a fierce Evil Spirit tonight?"

Then he saw the two beams of light intertwine and flash past each other.

The strange Qi belonging to the fierce Evil Spirit suddenly scattered and disappeared.

The third temple priest couldn’t help but look bewildered.

"Third Elder, what just happened?"

"The fierce evil has been eliminated," he stated.

The third temple priest felt his mouth go dry as he asked in a low voice, "Just in one encounter?"

Which powerful figure from which city could this be?

Could it be the Deputy City Governor from Qifeng Prefecture City, who heard about the death of his second son and came here personally?

His face turned extremely solemn.

But at that moment, he heard the chief beside him say, confused,

"Wait, the Qi Mechanism of the strong Human Clan that appeared just now wasn’t this one!"

"What?"

The third temple priest exclaimed in astonishment, "Are there two Qi Refining Realm powerhouses?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three beams of light vaguely emerged on the Divine Mirror.

Three Qi Refining Realm!

"Something’s not right!"

The third temple priest showed a look of shock and couldn’t help but say gravely, "Three Qi Refining Realm powerhouses are converging toward Feng City, along with one fierce Evil Spirit?"

——

Fifteen minutes earlier.

In the darkness.

Outside a small Pure Land.

This area was strewn with bones, not just human bones but also horse bones and broken carriages.

They had clearly just died recently, thrown out of the Pure Land right before night fell.

After nightfall, they were devoured completely by the myriad evils lurking in the dark.

Demons ate the flesh; Evil Spirits consumed the souls.

At that moment, flames lit up within the small Pure Land.

Two people sat across a campfire, calmly facing each other.

The person on the left had an elderly appearance but his eyebrows were slightly raised, exuding pride.

The person on the right looked like an old farmer, with rough hands and a face filled with sorrow, his eyebrows furrowed into the character "川".

He stared at the flames before him, sighing occasionally.

"To think you’re one of the high-tier members of Tribulation Ash, vying for the position of Vice Sect Hierarch, one would think you’re worrying about having enough food for your daily meals," the elder finally spoke, sneering.

"Elder Ji, you, after all, came from the Observatory, consumed the Original Tree Heart of the Minor Venerate, and have abundant resources. At least for the next three years, you won’t have to worry about the source for ’Refining Essence into Qi’," sighed the old farmer.

"That’s not the case for me. If I fail to ascend to the position of Vice Sect Hierarch, I will lack a stable source of cultivation... Isn’t that the same as not having meals to keep warm?" he continued, massaging his brow.

"Besides, if Feng City is destroyed, the majority of the food supply within Qifeng Prefecture will be cut off, starving many people," said the old farmer, formerly the garrison commander of Jinliu Manor, slowly.

"You don’t want to destroy Feng City?"

"I only want to destroy High Willow City."

The old farmer spread his hands and said, "As for what happens to Feng City, I don’t care. Right now, I only care about whether I can become a Vice Sect Hierarch and thereby receive the rite of purification, ensuring a source for my cultivation over the next five years, so it won’t be too difficult."

"There’s little hope for that."

Elder Ji spoke calmly, "If it weren’t for your damn interference just now, I would have succeeded with that strike."

The old farmer retorted sarcastically, "Didn’t you cut off someone’s hand? That’s still considered succeeding, isn’t it?"

"You’ve ruined my chances of becoming the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

Ji Lao spoke slowly, "Now, neither of us has a chance."

At this, both men looked beyond the Pure Land.

Night had fallen, and demons were everywhere.

Although they were not too far from Feng City, so there weren’t any exceptionally strong demons.

With their cultivation, they could barely move around in this area under the cover of night.

But unfortunately, that black pig had raised a fierce Evil Spirit!

At night, the fierce Evil Spirit did not hide its Qi Mechanism and drove large groups of demons to block their path.

"The Pig Lord..."

The old farmer sighed, "Pig Lord’s move was indeed ruthless, cutting off our path, forcing us to hide here in the Pure Land."

A Martial Artist of the Refining Essence Realm could barely protect himself in front of an Evil Spirit!

But both of them had attained the Qi Refining Realm, truly capable of killing Evil Spirits.

However, as they had only recently entered the Qi Refining Realm, their True Qi was not sufficiently robust.

Facing the endless darkness teeming with demons, the risk of exhausting their True Qi was inevitable.

Normally, with the power of the Qi Refining Realm, they could suppress ordinary demons from daring to approach.

But the Evil Spirit worshipped by Pig Lord was of a fierce level, becoming like the strongest "king" in this area of darkness!

The demons, though fearful of the might of the Qi Refining Realm, would still come forward due to the "new king’s" oppression!

Even if moths dashed into flames, with enough numbers, they could still extinguish the lamps of the night!

The many ants can bite an elephant to death!

Moreover, they had to be wary of that fierce-level Evil Spirit, which might eventually consider both of them as prey and devour them together!

Due to this significant threat, even though they had attained the Qi Refining Realm, they could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and hide within this Pure Land.

"It seems this pig is the new Vice Sect Hierarch."

Ji Lao’s tone was flat, but he could not suppress his anger.

The old farmer sighed, "Pig Lord came back from the Residual Prison Mansion, his methods have always been vicious, second only to ’Venerate Chen’."

"That fellow listed as ’Chen Dragon’?"

Ji Lao grew increasingly dissatisfied and said, "After the Jinliu Manor incident, he had promised that once I killed the Minor God Venerate and achieved the Qi Refining Realm, he would take care of the subsequent troubles... allowing me to ascend as the Deputy Commander of the High Willow City!"

With a smack!

The bonfire scattered!

"If I could become the Deputy Commander of the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau, would I still need to be here competing with you for the position of Vice Sect Hierarch of the Tribulation Ash?"

Ji Lao was furious to the extreme, yet he was caught off guard.

Before he could react, he saw that old farmer suddenly move and head outside the Pure Land.

Ji Lao followed immediately.

The two displayed the might of the Qi Refining Realm.

The demons outside the Pure Land retreated, not daring to come close.

Previously, with that fierce Evil Spirit as the new king’s oppression, even if these demons were fearful of the Qi Refining Realm’s might in the darkness, they would still rush forward.

But now, they dared not come.

"The new king is dead!"

"The Pig Lord is dead?"

The two looked at each other, showing shock.

In this darkness, who could easily kill a fierce-level Evil Spirit?

—

Twenty li away.

The night remained as before.

The cold wind howled, blowing through the treetops, sounding mournful and extremely desolate.

This night, it penetrated the soul, chilling to the bone.

"Impossible!"

In front of them, a large rock wall was covered with dense cracks.

The man, nearly having his bones broken and sinews snapped from being slammed against the wall, spat out blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He watched helplessly as the young man came running from the direction of the Pure Land.

No words exchanged!

No further discussion!

Just one slice!

And his forty-year-old ancestral spirit, which had just upgraded from an Evil Spirit to fierce, was completely destroyed, vanished like smoke!

The ancestral spirit had ascended from an Evil Spirit to fierce just half a year ago!

In the night, even facing the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, it might not necessarily be at a disadvantage!

How could it possibly be killed by an unremarkable youth, with a casual slash?

A single encounter, killing a fierce-level Evil Spirit, in the entire Qifeng Prefecture, there were not many who could do so!

With a spurt of blood!

The man spat blood again, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

With the ancestral spirit destroyed, even with his Refining Essence Realm cultivation, he could not withstand the backlash, feeling completely drained.

"A fierce Evil Spirit, indeed remarkable,"

Lin Yan sensed the increase of six hundred units of Evil Qi, feeling very satisfied.

The Evil Spirit previously nurtured by Wang Yuan was also half a step away from the "fierce" level.

But Wang Yuan’s Evil Spirit was only worth just over two hundred Evil Qi.

Yet this fierce-level Evil Spirit exceeded six hundred Evil Qi!

Although these two Evil Spirits were only half a step apart, the difference in their strength was indeed vast!

Thinking this way, Lin Yan walked forward, stepping on the mask underfoot.

It was a black pig mask!

"Tribulation Ash Twelve Phases, so you are the Pig Lord?"
