Chapter 141: The Knight of Fire Requests to Join the Battle!

The Bai family of Jinquan.

At this moment, it had already turned into a human purgatory.

An Elder from the family's second branch was hiding in the Sutra Repository with a group of clansmen, struggling to hold on.

Behind him, several great-grandchildren of the Patriarch wore expressions of pain, confusion, and fear.

They did not understand!

Why their Patriarch grandfather, who had always been so kind and gentle,

would suddenly turn murderous, first using poison, and then using the power of the Array to personally strike down their parents.

They understood even less why the Red-Backed Silver-Armored Rhinoceros, the family's guardian Spirit Beast, would suddenly transform into a terrifying demonic creature, directly crushing the protection of the guardian Spirit Tool that the Elders had joined forces to invoke, leaving them with almost no power to fight back in this catastrophe.

The surrounding villages under the protection of the Jinquan Bai family's Dharma Array were also erupting with intense sounds of slaughter at this moment.

The villagers, who were originally honest and dutiful, regardless of age or gender, were all brandishing various weapons, their eyes wide and blood-red as they fought incessantly.

They were originally descendants of martial artists and Loose Cultivators who had sought refuge with the Jinquan Bai family for various reasons.

They could be considered the family's retainers.

In this chaotic environment, they had been living quite well.

Yet, unexpectedly, at this moment, they lost their sanity due to the influence of the Array, using mutual slaughter to become a part of this Blood Sacrifice.

Before long, the mortals at the foot and waist of the mountain were all dead, not a single one left.

The concentration of Evil Qi also deepened continuously.

The bodies of the dead mortals were visibly decomposing slowly under the Evil Qi.

Afterward, small Evil Spirits resembling vengeful ghosts emerged.

Boom!

Amidst a loud noise.

The Sutra Repository began to sway precariously.

Following another exclamation, there was another loud bang!

With a bang!

The entire wall where the main entrance of the Sutra Repository was located split open and collapsed.

The Elder maintaining the Dharma Array vomited blood and fainted.

Then, beneath the dust and smoke, the current Patriarch of the Jinquan Bai family, his body covered in about three inches of black hair, floated over slowly:

"The Bai family has treated you well."

"You have been able to live until now entirely thanks to the family; why do you not know how to repay it?"

"Now that the Bai family is being invaded by strong enemies, only by performing a Blood Sacrifice on you and refining you into a Pill to feed to our family's Holy Beast, allowing it to withstand a trace of the great power of a Great Existence, can we have a glimmer of hope to preserve our family's heritage so it remains Undying!"

"Such a simple truth, why is it that you just don't understand!"

"This Patriarch believes that even if the Supreme Elder were here, he would certainly agree with my arrangement!"

The Patriarch whispered, his tone fluctuating, making anyone who heard it feel that this person was mentally abnormal.

It also made the few who had wanted to beg for mercy and call him grandfather open their mouths but not dare to make another sound.

They now suspected that their dear grandfather had actually been possessed by a Heavenly Demon long ago!

Such a monster could absolutely not be their Patriarch!

"Sigh, there are truly too many incompetent descendants in the Bai family; even at this point, not one is willing to offer themselves up voluntarily!"

The black-haired Patriarch muttered to himself, and as he spread his arms, the black hair all over his body suddenly grew longer and reached toward the clansmen hiding in the Sutra Repository.

Whether it was his great-grandchildren or clansmen from other branches, they were all bound by the hair and then, as the Patriarch flew through the air, dragged to the family's training grounds.

There, a bronze tripod covering an area of over one hundred square meters had appeared!

Boiling oil churned inside the bronze tripod, and beneath it, green Ghost Fire burned, using corpses as firewood.

The black-haired Patriarch did not hesitate in the slightest to throw the captured fresh clansmen into the bronze tripod.

Accompanied by the painful screams of those people.

Further away, on the mountaintop, the black energy rolling over the body of the giant Red-Backed Silver-Armored Rhinoceros, which was one hundred meters long and thirty meters high, became even more intense.

At the same time, in its opened blood-colored eyes, a strange black light faintly emerged.

Outside the mountain gate of the Jinquan Bai family.

Just over ten minutes after Su Ping arrived at the perimeter.

Another large Immortal Boat pierced through the thick clouds and arrived at the battlefield.

The fifty-meter-tall Golden Armor Puppet on the deck of this Immortal Boat immediately attracted Su Ping's attention.

This was a war weapon of the Cultivation World that represented the crystallization of Spirit-Refining and Puppetry technology.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator would enter it to control it personally, thereby compensating for the lack of Divine Sense assistance and the insufficient subjective initiative in the complex environment of the battlefield!

Relying on the puppet's suit of golden armor, it was impervious to blades and spears, immune to ten thousand spells, and its strength was comparable to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Body Cultivator.

It could itself be regarded as a Spirit Tool for combat.

Relying further on its specially crafted Law-Breaking Blade.

Whether it was for reaping cannon fodder or acting as the spearhead for frontal clashes, it was extremely practical!

It could be said to be a large-scale war weapon meticulously crafted by major powers to compensate for the fact that there were too few Foundation Establishment Body Cultivators in the current environment.

Hum!

The Golden Armor Puppet moved, displaying agility and speed inconsistent with its size.

And in mid-air, it swung the at least seventy-meter-long Mountain-Opening Axe in its hand, smashing it into the mountain gate Array with a clang.

The edge of the great axe flashed with Law-Breaking Golden Light.

The ripples produced when it struck the emerging light screen were even several times greater than the Golden Light emitted by the large Immortal Boat.

Watching the dull and tedious process of the Immortal Boats besieging the grand formation.

Su Ping turned his attention elsewhere.

He immediately noticed that he was not the only one who harbored the intention of slaying demons, eliminating devils, and acting with chivalry.

As the commotion grew larger and news inevitably leaked out.

More and more Loose Cultivators gathered in the vicinity, as well as disciples from other sects disguised as Loose Cultivators.

Fortunately, Golden Spring City ultimately had to conform to its excellent geographical advantage matching system.

The group of cultivators gathering around mostly hovered in the Qi Refining Middle-Late Stage.

Those at the late stage of Qi Refining or the Great Perfection were extremely rare.

As for those at Foundation Establishment who came to join the fun...

Su Ping discovered that he seemed to be the only one?

But this was normal; apart from himself, which of the other Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't have a background? If they came, it would be to join those Immortal Boats and contribute their strength.

At this moment, the watching cultivators were all quietly waiting for the moment the grand formation shattered.

Just waiting for the Immortal Boats to kill their way to the mountaintop, and they would swarm toward the foot and waist of the mountain to act with chivalry.

This operation could be considered a convention for the lower and middle strata of the Cultivation World to deal with hostile forces.

The Foundation Establishment great cultivators above obtained a group of cannon fodder to consume the enemy's cannon fodder.

Those below also gained an opportunity to pull chestnuts from the fire.

It could be called a win-win!

One hour later.

Su Ping, hiding deep underground, suddenly opened his eyes.

He perceived the world-shaking changes outside.

Through the Spirit Rat Vision he had left behind.

Su Ping saw the mountain gate formation of the Bai family of Golden Spring City suddenly shatter on its own.

Immediately, a red light shot directly into the clouds from the mountaintop.

Looking up, the entire sky was shockingly dyed an ominous blood-red!

Those dozen or so Immortal Boats appeared exceptionally tiny under this blood-red pillar of light.

"Not good!"

"It is summoning an Evil Spirit to descend!"

"Quickly stop this madman!"

The Immortal Boats erupted with Golden Light in unison, charging toward the mountaintop, where they encountered a Spirit Beast, a black-Qi-exuding red-backed rhinoceros.

It was unknown how many hundreds of years this Spirit Beast had lived; its true form was already a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

More crucially, this rhinoceros was clearly infected by Evil Qi, transforming into a monster with extremely strong recovery abilities.

Including the Golden Armor Puppet, they were unable to take down this giant rhinoceros for a time!

The watching cultivators who had intended to swarm in were not fools either.

Seeing this anomaly, most chose to observe a bit longer, while a cautious few turned around and ran.

Su Ping also immediately broke through the soil and began to retreat.

However, while retreating.

Su Ping summoned the Memory Illusion of Fire Knight Alwin.

Su Ping had already become familiar with the body of Fire Knight Alwin while in the Pot Heaven.

As a rare-quality partner with Foundation Establishment cultivation, he also possessed an Indomitable Will to resist the intrusion of various negative states.

Su Ping felt that he was the most suitable Memory Illusion for the current scene.

At this moment, it was exactly the time for the Fire Knight to request to enter the battle.

While his main body retreated.

Su Ping controlled Fire Knight Alwin to pick up the Storage Bag he had left on the ground.

Inside the bag were Spirit Herbs, a Purple Light Fox Talisman, and most importantly, a Teleportation Talisman.

This way, if he obtained something good but fell into a dangerous situation, he could successfully escape via the Teleportation Talisman.

Shaking his fire-red long hair.

The knight, with a mysterious smile on his lips, hoisted his Iron Sword onto his shoulder and strode toward the mountain gate of the Bai family of Golden Spring City.

This suddenly appearing mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately attracted the gazes of the surrounding watching cultivators.

Their hearts were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

A few bold ones who had Body Protection Dharma Artifacts also followed behind this fire-red man.

Then, they entered the mountain gate.

These people and Su Ping discovered that it was as if a great battle had erupted inside the mountain gate.

Everywhere there were broken walls and ruins, and everywhere flowed black blood and a foul, unpleasant stench.

Emotions also seemed to rapidly sink in this environment, and they began to have wild, wandering thoughts.

"Not good, this place... has been polluted!"

A few of the bold ones regretted it and hurriedly turned to run away.

One kind-hearted person even gave a warning to the Fire Knight.

But after seeing this knight suddenly raise his great sword and slash out a Red Sword Light, burning an Evil Spirit that flew out of a tile-roofed house into ashes.

This person hurriedly shut their mouth, bowed repeatedly, and retreated.

Boom!

Su Ping rushed into the manor at the foot of the mountain.

With one sword strike for each, he burned all the small Evil Spirits born inside into Mysterious Remains.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he collected these remains and placed them into a wooden box.

These remains, which had neither been fully purified nor sealed, had already proven their utility back in Sakura Country.

If he made good use of He Mao Chun Yi Lang's Nether Ghost Body, it was not impossible to make good use of them as well.

Even if he could not command them, he could try to see if they could be imprisoned within the Demon Sealing Tower.

Among the buildings in the Pot Heaven, the Demon Sealing Tower was the only one for which Su Ping had not yet found a use.

Imprisoning the Demon Beasts of the Cultivation World that he had raised himself was of no use.

Throwing a Sealed Dharma Artifact inside was even more useless.

As for directly sealing Evil Spirits that were still relatively intact... Su Ping did not currently have that ability.

He could only see if it was possible to activate the gods, immortals, and monsters constructed with Mysterious Remains as a skeleton and the power of faith as a body by locking them inside.

"How is this possible!"

At the foot of the mountain, an Evil Cultivator in black robes hiding within an Array stared dumbfounded at the fire-red knight nearby, who was hacking and killing Evil Spirits as if they were children.

He found it hard to comprehend and was greatly shocked.

This strange sword cultivator was not only completely unaffected by the surrounding Evil Qi and the mental attacks of the Evil Spirits.

The sword techniques he swung were also fast and accurate, and more importantly, the flames that suddenly appeared on the sword seemed to be extremely restraining to the power of the Evil Spirits!

Every time an Evil Spirit was struck, its body was instantly burned to ashes.

There was simply no opportunity to exert the greatest advantage that Evil Cultivators had: the ability to continuously recover.

Moreover, he... had been discovered!

This black-robed Evil Cultivator was just an ordinary Evil Cultivator arranged by the Black Underworld Sect to cooperate with the head of the Bai family.

Plus, he had taken a Soul-Fixing Pill.

He could still feel fear and terror.

And because of this, watching that Knight of Fire begin to approach him.

He panicked, and under the pressure, he actually took the initiative to flee out of the range of the Array, running toward the top of the mountain.

The Knight of Fire, however, arrived later but reached first, grabbing the back of the opponent's head and slamming him into the ground with a boom.

Incidentally, flames emerged from his hand, purifying the Evil Cultivator's resistance.

"I ask, you answer, how about that?"

The Knight of Fire looked at the terrified Evil Cultivator and offered a suggestion.

The Evil Cultivator nodded hurriedly.

Just when Su Ping thought he could learn a bit of the truth.

The Evil Cultivator's face suddenly became blurred and distorted.

Immediately, an aged face emerged and spoke:

"Which sect or faction are you from?"

"This old man does not recall any sect possessing such strange power as yours."
