Chapter 22: Farmer Jungling, Pentakill Godlike!

Qin Ming revealed nothing, slowly putting away the beast-skin scripture in his hands.

A smile appeared on his face.

Then he took a small brocade pouch from his storage bag.

Bowing his hands toward the two Lingyu Sect patrol cultivators nearby, he said, "Both Patrol Envoys have worked hard; this is a small token from me. Please look out for me a bit more when passing through the alley."

Having said this, he was about to offer the item in his hand.

The two men watched Qin Ming's movements and exchanged a glance.

A trace of mockery curled their lips! At this moment, Qin Ming was only a few steps away from the pair, just as he was about to move!

"Oh ho~"

"Isn't this the upright gentleman?!"

"How did you end up here?"

"Like playing in the wild, do you? You should have said so earlier, really~~"

A voice, dripping with sarcasm, rang out.

Hearing the sound, Qin Ming turned to look, only to see that the owner of the voice was none other than the bewitching woman in green from the brothel.

At this moment, she revealed her cultivation base of the fourth layer of Qi Condensation.

Standing beside her was a burly, bearded man with a cultivation base of the fifth layer of Qi Condensation; his eyes brimmed with malice as he stared fixedly at Qin Ming.

It was obvious.

These five people were a group, bandit cultivators! "This kid is truly damn cowardly."

"I lured him several times, but he refused to come out."

"If not for risking the exposure of these two Patrol Envoys..."

"... we really couldn't have handled him."

At this point, Daoist Ruan stopped pretending, revealing her vicious nature as she licked her lips and looked at Qin Ming with amusement.

"Finish him off quickly, take the goods, and leave."

"To prevent any changes in the situation."

The burly, bearded man said in a muffled voice.

"Relying on this kid?"

The Lingyu Sect patrol cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation sneered.

To him, a lowly spirit farmer like Qin Ming, who was only at the third layer of Qi Condensation, was not worth his attention at all.

The five people formed an encirclement, surrounding Qin Ming.

Suddenly!

Qin Ming made the first move!

He bent his knees to gather strength and leaped into the air!

He slapped his storage bag with his hand; originally, he had intended to draw out the Azure Spirit Dharma Sword.

But in his urgency, he actually pulled out a spirit shovel used for turning the soil.

Qin Ming paid no heed to this.

He infused his blood and qi energy onto the spirit shovel.

Exerting force with his arm, the steel-cable-like muscles on his forearm instantly bulged! Without a second thought, his blood and qi energy erupted!

Decisively, he swung the shovel fiercely down at the Lingyu Sect patrol cultivator closest to him.

Seeing Qin Ming move, the Lingyu Sect cultivator found his speed truly somewhat startling.

His eyes barely registered the other's figure flickering before the person instantly vanished; he dared not remain arrogant.

Hurriedly forming hand seals, he unleashed a hazy blue magic power shield, enveloping his entire body.

Puchi!

Just one strike! The magic power shield unleashed by the Lingyu Sect cultivator, under Qin Ming's single shovel blow, proved almost as fragile as paper.

It shattered upon contact! The Lingyu Sect cultivator's face filled with shock and surprise; he hastily drew out a Jin Guang body-protection talisman and cast another golden shield around himself.

Puchi!

Another strike.

The speed of the spirit shovel in Qin Ming's hand did not diminish in the slightest.

The opponent's Jin Guang body-protection talisman failed to last even a single breath.

It shattered once again!

Zeng! With one shovel strike.

The Lingyu Sect cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation was closed in on by Qin Ming, his movement blocked.

In panic, he flashed backward to retreat, only to have the spirit shovel in Qin Ming's hand strike squarely at his neck.

It pierced straight through! Cizi!

That cultivator fell flat on his back on the spot, clutching his neck as his whole body convulsed; he kicked his legs and breathed his last.

This scene unfolded too suddenly! In merely one exchange, the self-important Lingyu Sect cultivator was instantly killed by Qin Ming.

So much so that the several people surrounding him failed to react immediately.

"Not good!"

"He's a body cultivator! Retreat quickly!"

As another Lingyu Sect cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Condensation flew backward.

He immediately released a mid-tier Wind Blade spell, rushing straight at Qin Ming!

Seeing this, Qin Ming felt not the slightest fear! The blood and qi energy around his body erupted completely!

A 'Glazed Treasure Robe' condensed from blood and qi energy enveloped him.

He leaped up again! The next moment.

A mid-tier Wind Blade Technique struck Qin Ming's chest! Boom! A tremendous noise erupted, yet it was like a stone sinking into the sea, failing to raise even a ripple.

"Spell Deflection!"

"How is this possible!"

That cultivator from the Spirit Feather Sect widened his eyes in disbelief.

Daoist Ruan and the three cultivators, including the woman in green, no longer held back; they unleashed their full capabilities, launching surprise attacks on Qin Ming from behind.

Qin Ming paid no heed to the three behind him.

His gaze locked firmly onto the Level Six Qi Condensation cultivator from the Spirit Feather Sect.

He swung the spiritual spade in his hand, chopping downward! Clang!!! The Spirit Feather Sect cultivator produced a pitch-black round shield, a defensive magical artifact, to protect himself.

Qin Ming's spiritual spade struck the round shield, sending a shower of sparks flying.

Yet that cultivator was sent flying by this single chop, man and shield alike soaring over ten zhang away!

With a "Hong" sound, he crashed into a small earthen mound not far off.

Cough! A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his lips, his eyes revealing terror.

What kind of terrifying force was this!

It felt as though he had been head-on collided with by a massive demonic beast.

Qin Ming's figure soared through the air, constantly shifting to evade the attacks coming from behind.

Several spells he could not avoid struck Qin Ming, yet they failed to inflict any substantial injury upon him.

In an instant.

Qin Ming took a giant stride, flashing forward to appear before that Level Six Qi Condensation cultivator from the Spirit Feather Sect, reaching out to grab.

That cultivator still wished to resist and fight back.

But Qin Ming seized his hand and forcefully pressed it down! How could the strength of a Qi Condensation cultivator compare to that of Qin Ming, a body-refining cultivator?

In Qin Ming's grip, he was handled at will, like a rag.

Qin Ming kicked him to the ground and fiercely stepped on him.

He raised the spiritual spade in his hand again and began violently stabbing at the man's head! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The head of the Spirit Feather Sect cultivator was thoroughly mashed into a mess by the spiritual spade in Qin Ming's hand.

He died, his breath cut off.

Behind him.

Daoist Ruan and the other two were already stunned with fear.

Not even a Level Six Qi Condensation cultivator could withstand a single move from him! Was this the strength a spirit farmer should possess?! "Glazed Treasure Robe!"

"The fifth layer!"

"Impossible! How could you possibly cultivate it to the fifth layer so quickly?!"

Daoist Ruan finally panicked; seeing through the trick, he hastily sacrificed a flying boat magical artifact, intending to flee.

How could Qin Ming let him escape? He flung the spiritual spade in his hand! It traced an afterimage through the air! Swish! The spade struck Daoist Ruan with pinpoint accuracy, slicing off one of his thighs.

Daoist Ruan instantly fell from mid-air.

"Ah!!!"

A wail of agony burst from his mouth as he fell backward onto the ground.

"Don't... don't... don't..." Daoist Ruan propped himself up with both hands, his body struggling violently against the earth.

Qin Ming leaped forward, retrieved his spiritual spade, and arrived before Daoist Ruan without a shred of hesitation! Puchi!

He directly severed his neck! A fine head flew straight up into the air.

Blood sprayed more than half a chi high.

Upon witnessing this scene, the enchanting woman in green and the bearded burly man turned pale as death.

They separated and fled in different directions.

But in terms of speed, neither of them was a match for Qin Ming! With a few leaps and bounds, Qin Ming had already reached the back of that bearded burly man.

He extended his right hand, grabbed the man's nape, and then yanked hard! The bearded burly man lost his balance and instantly crashed to the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, don't... don't... don't kill me!"

"It was all instigated by that Daoist Ruan, who secretly revealed to us the matter of the Beast Tooth Rice in your possession."

A ruthless light flashed in Qin Ming's eyes! He violently swung the spade!

Tsi! The spiritual spade swept past, and the bearded burly man was directly chopped halfway through his neck!

Immediately after, Qin Ming whipped his head around.

He once again aimed the spiritual spade in his hand at the enchanting woman in green and threw it! Chi! The spade cut through the air, piercing her straight through from the back.

The tremendous force did not diminish; it actually pinned her directly to the ground! On the road through the wilderness.

Qin Ming was bathed in blood, his entire body radiating murderous intent.

Subsequently.

He searched out the storage bags of all five individuals.

Then, toward the corpses, he cast a Fireball Technique to destroy the bodies and erase all traces.

He meticulously cleared away any evidence.

After confirming there were no omissions whatsoever, he turned and vanished into the road.
