Chapter 307: Resolution

The black-faced burly man and the bewitching woman, needing no further guesswork, immediately understood how Yang Jian had died.

"Three Demon Kings!"

"One of them is even at the mid-stage of the third rank."

The black-faced burly man looked at Qin Ming with eyes full of vigilance; after all, anyone capable of subduing and controlling so many Demon Kings alone could not be an ordinary figure.

"Is there some misunderstanding, fellow Daoist?"

"I have not offended you, fellow Daoist."

"Otherwise, perhaps I can help you cool your temper?"

Seeing themselves surrounded, the bewitching woman spoke to Qin Ming in a coquettish, sweet voice.

Having said this, she walked toward Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's eyebrows lifted inexplicably; his Dao Heart had already been tempered into unshakeable solidity back in the shantytown years ago.

How could a mere red-powdered skeleton now shake his body and mind?

Qin Ming immediately activated his Dharma-Breaking Double Pupils and swept his gaze forward; as crimson mysterious light flashed by, the originally enchanting demonic female cultivator instantly transformed into an old woman with chicken-skin and crane-white hair, revealing her true form before his eyes.

Her previously charming and bewitching beauty vanished without a trace.

The bewitching female cultivator was instantly filled with shock and rage; she had never expected that her prideful charm technique would be seen through by Qin Ming before she even had a chance to unleash it.

She immediately flicked her wrist, and the blood-jade bracelet in her hand suddenly erupted with a burst of bloody light, emitting a nauseating aura as she pounced toward Qin Ming.

Boom! Crack! Yet before the bloody light could reach Qin Ming, it was shattered by a lightning divine ability emitted from the mouth of the Profound Water Crocodile.

The power of lightning possesses an innate suppression over demonic ghost cultivators.

The Lei Ting emitted by the Profound Water Crocodile did not lose momentum and continued to strike toward the bewitching woman.

Her expression changed instantly; she immediately took out a pitch-black bone umbrella, injected magic power into it, and unfurled it.

Crack! Boom! A burst of crimson light erupted from the bone umbrella, just barely blocking this attack.

Even so, a crack blasted open on the umbrella's surface, emitting scorched black smoke.

The bewitching female cultivator felt immense heartache watching this.

Just at this moment.

The black-faced burly man's eyes turned cold; he also knew that today's matter could absolutely not end peacefully.

The demonic markings on his body flickered with dark bloody light, his aura surged violently, and he instantly transformed into a monster with two horns growing from its head.

"A mid-stage Jin Dan body cultivator?"

Qin Ming's pupils suddenly contracted; looking at the opponent's appearance, he immediately became interested.

The black monster, standing dozens of zhang tall and wielding a huge black steel fork, resembled a demonic god as it charged fiercely toward Qin Ming.

Qin Ming activated his Blood Qi True Gang; behind him, a blood-colored Eight-Armed Demon Ape materialized, reaching a hundred zhang in height, its five fingers joined together to form a single fist that crossed dozens of zhang of distance and struck horizontally! Bang! A violent collision sound echoed between heaven and earth.

With one punch, half of the black monster's body was directly shattered, exploding into a cloud of dark green blood mist, sending it flying backward over a thousand zhang.

The black-faced burly man's face twisted distortingly, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, his eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

"My demonic body actually could not withstand the power of a single punch from the opponent!"

"What kind of perverted physical strength is this?"

After just one exchange, he knew that the two of them were absolutely no match for Qin Ming.

He immediately dragged his broken body, attempting to break out and flee outward.

Qin Ming withdrew his Blood Qi True Gang; the opponent's mid-stage Jin Dan body cultivation refinement was still fragile enough to shatter upon contact when faced with his own physical body that had formed the Blood Qi Embraced Pill.

He immediately made a virtual grab with his five fingers; three Wood Emperor Nails appeared, then sank into the void, chasing after the two fleeing individuals.

Pfft! Verdant green light flashed, and in an instant, the two, panic-stricken and choosing no path, were pierced straight through.

This time, the Wood Emperor Nail accurately pierced through the black-faced burly man's skull; a large hole broke open in the middle of his head, and subsequently, his corpse fell listlessly from the sky.

With sharp eyes, Qin Ming immediately cast the Thorn Technique to reel the corpse back, harvesting a blood bead and a Jin Dan while gaining an additional demonic cultivator fertilizer.

The bewitching female cultivator was slightly luckier; the Wood Emperor Nail pierced through her shoulder, causing blood to gush forth, so she did not die immediately.

"Fellow Daoist, please spare my life."

"I am an Elder of the Yin Mo Sect of the Great Li Dynasty; name whatever demand you have."

Qin Ming's eyes turned cold; even on the brink of death, the opponent still vainly attempted to use her backing sect to intimidate him.

Just earlier in Sanxiancheng, through soul-searching Yang Jian, he had already learned everything clearly; this Yin Soul Sect of Great Li was separated from the Southern Desolate Immortal Realm by hundreds of thousands of miles, and the three of them had gone to great lengths, even employing a Long-Distance Teleportation Array, to arrive here.

This legendary Long-Distance Teleportation Array required burning hundreds of high-grade spirit stones for every single use.

Even for these Jin Dan-stage demonic cultivators, it was an extremely damaging and costly affair.

With the mountains high and the emperor far away, Qin Ming simply did not care about any Yin Soul Sect.

The Shi Tian Shu emerged from the void and bit off her neck in one gulp.

Qin Ming cast the Thorn Technique following the same method, throwing this woman's corpse into his storage bag as well.

With the two dead.

Those demonic cultivators instantly became leaderless and fell into chaos, immediately scattering in all directions like birds and beasts.

Qin Ming immediately ordered his three spiritual beasts to unleash a great slaughter upon these demonic cultivators.

Instantly, the entrance of the Jin Kuizong sect turned into a battlefield of carnage; countless blood beads floated through the air, all entering Qin Ming's storage bag.

The disciples of Jin Kuizong also had their morale greatly boosted; following behind the three Demon Kings, they slaughtered the remaining demonic cultivators until not a single one was left intact.

Seeing that things were about done, Qin Ming immediately recalled his three spiritual pets.

At this moment, a trail of escaping light rushed over from the distance; Chen Beixuan, the Shao Sect of Jin Kuizong, arrived belatedly.

Upon seeing the scene before him, he also paused for a moment in surprise.

Chen Beixuan and the Sect Master Chen Donglai quickly flew over, bowed deeply to Qin Ming, and said:

"Jin Kuizong thanks True Person Wangyue for resolving the siege."

"I shall never forget this great lifesaving grace; if True Person ever has any orders for me in the future, I would not dare disobey!"

"Please, Qin Qianbei, come inside our sect to rest for a while."

Qin Ming flicked his sleeve, storing the three spirit pets into his spirit beast bag, and said indifferently:

"I merely happened to pass by; there is no need for me to go in and sit."

"The demonic cultivators in this area have been cleared out; they should not have the audacity to invade again."

"You two handle the follow-up matters; I have other affairs and must take my leave first."

The moment his words fell.

Before the eyes of Chen Bei and his father, everything blurred for an instant, and Qin Ming's figure had long since vanished.

The two stood stunned for a long while before finally coming to their senses.

Chen Donglai spoke with deep emotion: "If Elder True Person Qin had not acted today, it would have been a calamity for our sect."

"He slew three Jin Dan demonic cultivators in succession with almost no effort; I fear Qin Qianbei's strength is already unmatched within the Southern Wilderness," Chen Bei remained immersed in the shock of what had just occurred.

"For Qin Qianbei to come to our Wu Kingdom is truly a great fortune; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

Several days later.

News that True Person Wangyue had consecutively slain three mid-stage Jin Dan demonic cultivators in the Wu Kingdom and executed numerous disciples of the demonic sects spread like a tide to the other three kingdoms.

As the party directly involved, the Modaoliu Sect naturally received the news first.

When the Modaoliu Sect learned that their elite forces had been completely annihilated and that even three of their esteemed Envoys had perished.

They were so terrified that they no longer dared to entertain any thought of sending troops against the Wu Kingdom.

Not only that, but they also had to bear the wrath of the Yin Demon Sect.

From then on, whenever demonic disciples heard mention of the Wu Kingdom, they would detour around it, daring not to harbor any ill thoughts and keeping a respectful distance.

While flying, Qin Ming processed the news he had gathered.

He couldn't help but stroke his chin and mutter to himself:

"It seems I am indeed not the protagonist from those storybooks; I hear that wherever those protagonists go, all sorts of disasters follow, making them sources of chaos."

"They even bear the title of 'Squad-Wiping Star'; any cultivator who teams up with them is doomed to die."

"But I am different; I have brought peace to the Wu Kingdom, and from now on, I estimate no demonic sect will dare to scheme against this place."
