Chapter 192: Nourishing Killing with Killing

Rumbling—

Like a meteorite from outside the sky falling into the mortal world, the center of the pine forest was instantly swallowed by dazzling red-gold fire waves.

"..."

Jiang Ye's pupils almost shrank to needle points, his feet stepped hard, and his figure retreated violently like an arrow off the string.

The scorching fire waves chased after his robe corners for several zhang before stopping their spread after he retreated to a safe distance.

This was the first time he had driven the 'Flame Explosion Burning Heaven Seal' with Fire-type True Qi as the main and the other four elements as auxiliary.

Although he expected the power to be very strong.

But he didn't expect it to be this fierce...

Almost affecting himself, the caster.

Jiang Ye had his Fire Eyes open, so he saw it very clearly.

That black-robed person didn't even have time to let out a scream, his body was burned and vaporized under the swallowing of the five-colored light.

Not even his bones were left...

"This wave is a loss..."

Jiang Ye suddenly thought of something and sighed in his heart.

He burned this Qisha Sect demon into vaporization with this move, how could he still absorb killing intent from the opponent...

At the same time.

"This vibration..."

Wen Yuelao was the first to notice the fire light rushing into the sky in the distance, a flash of horror first appearing on that pale oval face, and then the bloodshot eyes burst with uncontrollable excitement, sharp light flashing.

"It's Fire-type True Qi..."

"It's Elder Jiang's Fire-type True Qi!"

Zheng Feng also looked back in the gap of blocking.

Just in time to see the doomsday scene of the pine forest being swallowed by the sea of fire, the string in his heart that had been tight for who knows how long suddenly loosened by half a beat.

He breathed heavily, squeezing a hoarse shout from his throat: "Elder Jiang won! He will be able to return to support us immediately—hold on!"

"Haha! You Qisha Sect beasts, all of you must die today!"

Qin Lie was covered in blood, the deep-to-the-bone wound on his left shoulder still bleeding.

But he seemed completely unable to feel the pain, fighting more bravely as he fought, his hands waving continuously, blades of scorching fire pouring down on the short black-robed person like a storm.

Elder Wang and Elder Li cooperated with his offensive from left and right.

Their injuries were also not few.

The sleeve of Elder Wang's right arm had been torn off for the most part, revealing a ferocious wound extending from the elbow bend to the wrist.

Elder Li had a strand of uncleaned blood foam at the corner of his mouth, every breath carrying a sizzling noise from deep in his chest, but his footsteps did not retreat half a step.

And the short black-robed person felt his heart tremble violently.

Even though they were far apart, he could vaguely feel the scorching heat of that fire Qi.

"Damn it, that old thing's fire Qi is actually so strong?!"

A terrifying thought flashed through the black-robed person's mind: "Can that guy withstand such fire Qi..."

As his thoughts turned, the continuous offensive on his hands slowed down involuntarily, and the killing moves that had been pressing Qin Lie and the others until they couldn't breathe showed obvious stagnation.

Suddenly.

He felt a chill behind his back.

He looked back suddenly, and what came into view was a pair of old eyes without any mercy.

That thin figure had actually arrived behind him silently at some point, the robe still remaining with the scorching scent of the pine forest fire that had not yet dissipated.

"Not good! When exactly did he..."

The scarlet eyes in the black-robed person's eyes shrank suddenly, his heart sinking to the bottom in an instant.

If it weren't for the instinct at the moment of life and death, he wouldn't have noticed the opponent's aura at all.

And Jiang Ye appeared here at this moment.

Doesn't that mean his companion has already...

Jiang Ye didn't give the black-robed person any chance to breathe.

He raised his hand and threw a Tiger Form punch, red-gold True Qi swirling and surging on the fist peak, condensing into a fierce tiger phantom roaring with its head held high, the tiger roar exploding in the void, shaking the remaining vegetation around him to tremble.

The punch hadn't arrived, but the intent arrived first.

That domineering and unparalleled Tiger Form True Intent hit the black-robed person's heart and mind like an invisible heavy hammer one step ahead of the fist Qi, making his reaction half a beat slower, which was fatal.

The black-robed person didn't dare to have half a moment of negligence, blocking Qin Lie and the others' offensive in a hurry, the Metal-type True Qi in his body surging crazily towards his right palm, turning palm into knife, sharp gold-white True Qi pulling out a dazzling cold light at the edge of his palm.

He even mixed a strand of cold killing intent into it.

Gold Qi was originally the master of killing, and combined with killing intent, the sharpness increased by three points.

He believed that even if he couldn't block the opponent's Fire-type True Qi, he could at least force the opponent back with an attack against an attack, fighting for a gap to breathe for himself.

Bang—!!!

Fist and palm intersected, gold-white and red-gold lights colliding violently in front of the peak master's hall.

However, after stalemating for less than a breath, the sharp and pressing gold True Qi in the black-robed person's palm was torn apart by the red-gold Qi light like a hot knife through butter.

Gold generates water, fire overcomes gold.

His Metal-type True Qi was like thin ice meeting the scorching sun in front of Jiang Ye's Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi, not even having time to complete the process of melting before being broken directly.

What was even more terrifying was that the scorching fist strength, after breaking the gold Qi, did not decrease in momentum, slamming hard onto his right palm.

Only a series of crisp sounds of bones breaking exploded in the night sky.

The black-robed person's right palm was beaten by this punch until the tendons and bones were broken, from the wrist to the five fingers, all the bones twisted and deformed under that huge force, the whole palm bending backwards at a strange angle, revealing white bone shards.

"Ah—!!!"

The black-robed person raised his head and let out an extremely miserable wail.

Only at this moment did he finally personally experience what kind of monster his companion faced before dying.

Even his companion's Water-type True Qi couldn't defeat this person's Fire-type True Qi, let alone his Metal-type True Qi which was restrained by fire.

With just one move, his right hand was crippled.

He staggered back a few steps, his heels hitting a piece of gravel, his figure not yet standing firm, Qin Lie and the others rushed over like a wolf pack smelling blood.

Before, the five of them were struggling to support under his offensive, now naturally they couldn't miss the opportunity, they had to beat the dog in the water.

"You trash also dare to..."

A flash of violent anger of a tiger falling into the flat land and being bullied by dogs flashed on the black-robed person's face.

Jiang Ye's fist peak arrived in front of him again.

A moment later.

This short black-robed person was punched through the heart by Jiang Ye, his whole person flying backwards like a puppet with broken strings, slamming heavily onto the blue stone ground in front of the peak master's hall, his back smashing several stone bricks, embedding into a spiderweb-like crack.

He struggled to prop up his body, his left arm trembling and lifting halfway before falling powerlessly, the last trace of vitality in those scarlet eyes flickering twice like a candle in the wind, then completely extinguished.

"These beasts truly deserve to die, actually daring to come and attack our Tianqing Sect."

Qin Lie breathed heavily, still feeling unsatisfied, stepping up and stomping on the black-robed person's corpse several times fiercely.

Every step made the corpse sound muffled, until he confirmed that the opponent was dead beyond dead before he was willing to stop.

The deep-to-the-bone wound on his left shoulder was still bleeding out, half of his robe was dyed dark red, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Thanks to Elder Jiang's divine power..."

"If it weren't for Elder Jiang, we would probably have all been accounted for here today."

Elder Li and Elder Wang bowed to Jiang Ye repeatedly, their tones full of the joy of surviving a disaster and heartfelt gratitude.

Wen Yuelao sat cross-legged on the ground not far away, her hands supporting her knees, breathing heavily, not even having the strength to speak.

In that battle just now, her foundation was the shallowest, her True Qi was almost exhausted, and at this moment her limbs and bones were making unbearable sour noises.

Even so, those bright eyes still followed Jiang Ye's figure tightly, and besides the joy of surviving a disaster, there was also a deeper admiration hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Zheng Feng eased his breath slightly, wiping the blood foam from the corner of his mouth with the back of his still-clean left hand, looking at Jiang Ye with a full face of solemnity:

"Elder Jiang, listening to the movement just now from Juding Peak, it is estimated that the attacked places are more than just us here, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, everyone cast their gazes on Jiang Ye, waiting for his next instructions.

Before this battle, their respect for this acting peak master was more because of Luo Song's entrustment and the prestige established in that battle on the martial arts arena.

And after this battle, that respect had turned into unreserved trust.

After Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"Now the sect is under attack, the situation came too suddenly, the disciples on Tianyangfeng probably don't know what happened yet."

"These two Qisha Sect demons have blood stains on them, it is estimated that some disciples have already fallen into their poisonous hands."

"You guys go now, figure out the casualties, and inform all the disciples of the matter."

"At the moment, the specific number of attacking demons is not clear, let them hide separately first, don't rush out rashly."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the blood-stained crowd, his tone softening slightly:

"You guys also take this gap to rest for a moment, and deal with the wounds."

"As for the attack situation on other peaks, wait for me to adjust my breath for a moment, and I will go investigate personally."

From the first loud noise from Juding Peak, to the two Qisha Sect demons killing their way to Tianyangfeng, and then to him beating the two to death with his fists, it was only half a cup of tea's time before and after.

Now the information between the peaks is completely cut off, and no one knows how the battle is going on other peaks.

But the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize Tianyangfeng first.

Hearing this, everyone immediately took the order and hurried down the mountain.

Even Wen Yuelao, whose face was as pale as paper, stood up supporting her knees after breathing on the ground for a moment, walking down the mountain with floating but firm steps.

"This girl..."

Watching the backs of the crowd hurrying away, Jiang Ye nodded secretly.

Although Luo Song said before that there were more weak people on Tianyangfeng...

However, at this critical moment, everyone was still able to handle things.

"Just don't know if the Sect Master can hold on..."

Jiang Ye's gaze looked towards Juding Peak, his eyes full of solemnity.

After opening the twelve main meridians in his body, he could perceive the primordial energy between heaven and earth.

He could feel two mysterious auras over there at Juding Peak, vaguely able to induce the heaven and earth's primordial energy.

Two Primordial martial artists...

He really didn't dare to rush over alone.

"It's useless to be anxious now, I'll restore my True Qi first..."

Jiang Ye pondered in his heart.

Although the Flame Explosion Burning Heaven Seal that gathered the power of the Five Elements just now was earth-shattering, the consumption was also astonishing.

The Fire-type True Qi and the four-element True Qi in his dantian were almost drained by half; if his foundation wasn't far deeper than martial artists of the same realm, just that one seal would have been enough to drain a Divine Qi Realm early-stage martial artist alive.

Immediately after, he lowered his eyes and cast his gaze on the corpses of the Qisha Sect demons.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the work of cutting firewood; the more critical the moment, the more one must remain calm.

While restoring True Qi, he could incidentally verify whether he could absorb killing intent from these murderous beasts.

He sat cross-legged, calmed his heart and breath, and according to the secret method recorded in the "Seven Killings Scripture", operated his mind, using killing intent as a guide, using killing thoughts as a furnace, and tried to absorb killing intent from the opponent's corpse.

Soon, a strand of extremely Yin and cold aura drifted out from the black-robed person's brow, strands and strands, pouring into Jiang Ye's brow ancestral aperture.

"It really is possible..."

A flash of sharp light flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He had always suspected that the "Seven Killings Scripture" deliberately concealed the method of nourishing killing with killing.

Now that he had personally verified this conjecture, it was no different from opening a new door for his killing intent cultivation.

He did not stop, continued to operate the secret method, and extracted the killing intent remaining in the corpse without missing a strand.

After a good while.

"It's about eighteen strands..."

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a cold light like ice.

He had nourished ten strands of killing intent from that bear demon last time, and eighteen strands from this Qisha Sect demon.

It seems that this Qisha Sect demon's killing sins are much heavier than that bear demon's.

Just at this moment.

A burst of hurried footsteps came.

It was Elder Wang who returned.

He walked quickly to Jiang Ye's front, his breath slightly short, sweat from the statistics he just made still hanging on his face, but his tone when reporting was still as steady as usual:

"Elder Jiang, I have already counted, ten disciples in the peak died, all of them were patrol disciples on duty today."

"In addition, the blood stains on several mountain roads have not yet dried, it is estimated that the two demons killed their way up from the mountainside, and the duty disciples they encountered along the way were all killed."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"I also went to the herb garden personally to see. The three disciples Lu Ming, Chen Lili, and Xu Qinghuan are all very safe."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded slightly, his face calm, but his heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that these Qisha Sect demons have a very clear target, mainly aiming at these Divine Qi Realm and Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists.

The reason the patrol disciples were killed was probably just because they happened to be blocking their route to climb the peak.

"Why did they do this."

He temporarily suppressed these messy thoughts.

A moment later.

He stood up suddenly, the scorched ash on his robe falling down.

He looked at Elder Wang and said in a deep voice:

"Elder Wang, leave the affairs of Tianyangfeng to you to arrange."

"Let all disciples continue to hide, not allowed to go out without authorization, if there is another enemy attack, signal immediately to warn."

"I will go to other peaks to investigate the situation!"

Elder Wang immediately nodded solemnly: "Yes, Elder Jiang! Must be careful!"

Jiang Ye's figure was like a gray shadow merging into the night, flying down the mountain.

His first target was Xuan Shui Peak.

That Xuan Shui Peak master, Liu Qingyu, possessed the special method of inducing starlight, her strength was extraordinary, and among the peak masters, she and Luo Song belonged to the top level.

If he wanted to go to Juding Peak to support the Sect Master, calling her to go together would have a much better chance of success.

However, when he passed by the mountainside of Jin Chen Peak, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

An extremely rich smell of blood drifted in the night wind.

That smell was not something that could be emitted by a few scattered corpses in an ordinary slaughter, but the thick, fishy sweetness of large patches of blood gathered together and blown away by the mountain wind, almost dyeing the air red.

"What's the situation..."

Jiang Ye frowned tightly.

The Qisha Sect demons had clear targets, killing only martial artists above the Embracing the Pill Realm, so there shouldn't be such large-scale casualties.

He immediately operated his Fire Eyes, red-gold light flashing in his eyes, piercing through the night and the cover of the woods to look towards the Jin Chen Peak mountain road.

The next instant, his face changed drastically.

Only to see corpses lying everywhere on the mountain road leading to Jin Chen Peak.

Blood flowed down layer upon layer from the mountain road, forming pools of dark red blood on the blue stone steps.

"Heh... heh..."

And among that mountain of corpses, there was actually a weak breath struggling to breathe.

Jiang Ye's gaze swept over the stacked corpses, accurately locking onto that blood-stained figure lying on the ground.

This person was actually the elder of Jin Chen Peak, Zhu Ying.

When he went to the previous dynasty ruins before, Jiang Ye had some impression of this person.

At this moment, he was lying in a pool of blood, his left arm broken at the elbow, the flesh and blood at the break neatly cut by some extremely sharp force, the tattered sleeve soaked through with blood, sticking tightly to his side. ===== CHAPTER 193 =====
