You lead the others to flank from the perimeter. These bandits are no ordinary lot—do not act rashly, do you understand?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Minshan turned back, his face stern, giving him these instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Minshan then leapt into the air and vanished into the horizon at an unbelievable speed, heading toward the swamp where Elder Zhuang and the black-robed cultivator were fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun slowed the vessel and led the dozen or so elite Punishment Hall disciples in vigilance, contacting nearby sect members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not know that four masked, black-robed bandits were racing toward him at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhuang was casting spells to bombard the ground, trying to break the illusion array by brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black arc of energy, dozens of feet long, erupted from below the swamp and slashed toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhuang narrowed his eyes in shock and immediately tried to dodge, but his spine turned icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast tide of black energy surged from behind, strangling toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had nowhere to evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reversed his hand and formed a seal—immediately, a square white barrier appeared in the sky, shielding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless black arcs struck the barrier but failed to break through, fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhuang now clearly saw his opponent, his eyes flickering with surprise as he said slowly, “I thought you were some formidable figure—turns out you’re merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Whether I’m formidable or not—let your hands prove it.” The black-robed cultivator wearing the Buddha mask spoke without a trace of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A distant aura of movement approached swiftly, drifting over and arriving instantly before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Elder Jiang Minshan, arriving to provide support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving, Jiang Minshan wasted no words—he unleashed a devastating spell directly at the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even facing two Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking together,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Buddha-masked black-robed cultivator remained calm, forming an unusual hand seal with his pure white hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! A torrent of black flames erupted around him; his aura surged instantly from early Foundation Establishment to mid-Foundation Establishment! In an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Foundation Establishment experts clashed fiercely above the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful spells erupted endlessly, colliding one after another, their might terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s face was grim; he spared no magic power, flying at top speed on his Spirit Light Flying Shuttle toward Qingyang Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What a damn stroke of bad luck!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why now? Why the hell now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming seethed inwardly—he had finally managed to obtain a jade talisman, but before he could even secure Elder Zhuang’s recommendation, his plan was ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now only wanted to return to Qingyang Market as fast as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Next time, I’m not leaving the sect until I reach Foundation Establishment.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The outside world is too terrifying.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They just blow through second-rank arrays like they’re nothing—who can handle that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resolved firmly in his heart and pushed his Spirit Light Flying Shuttle to its utmost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was speeding forward when a severely battered cultivator flew straight toward him—the two nearly collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Did you drink too much? Can’t you watch where you’re going?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Holy shit! Brother Jiang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even look—then he saw, and nearly lost his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun was in a pitiful state, stripped of his former glory as a core Lingyu Sect disciple; his body was covered in grievous wounds, even his entire left arm gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun was first startled, but upon seeing Qin Ming, his pale face relaxed slightly with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Jiang… what happened to you?” Qin Ming feigned utter shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun pulled out a pill from his pouch, swallowed it, and gasped, “Ah, Brother Qin—it’s not safe to talk here. I’m being chased. Let’s return to the sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already sent word to our sect members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming froze—he didn’t need to ask. Only those bandits could reduce a fully cultivated Qi Refining cultivator to this state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah? What about the others?” Qin Ming suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun stiffened. “Brother Qin, what do you mean?” Qin Ming laughed it off. “Nothing, just curious. I’m not going back to Lingyu Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Jiang, farewell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed slightly, feigning intent to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun frowned deeply—a sudden, strong premonition of doom rose in his chest; something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Qin Ming… was suspicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately prepared to activate his vessel and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he was about to channel his spiritual power, Qin Ming’s figure vanished right where he stood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun’s heart leapt—he shattered a high-grade Spirit-Protecting Talisman. A blue barrier instantly surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD! A violent impact rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun looked up, eyes wide with shock and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood Qin Ming, aura surging violently, gripping a black longblade whose blade burned with fiery edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun had tried to kill him multiple times—now was the perfect moment to finish him off while he was wounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one slash, he nearly shattered the high-grade talisman barrier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun instantly realized—he was frozen with dread. “Body Refinement cultivator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to be told—he now understood how Chen Ziang and the others had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s eyes glinted coldly. He wasted no words, pulling out two high-grade attack talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: High-Grade Thunder Arrow Talisman. One: High-Grade Fiery Sun Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurled them both at Jiang Kun simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying lightning crackled, mixed with flame spells shaped like firebirds, slamming into Jiang Kun’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! A violent explosion erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun staggered out, spitting blood; a pale purple spiritual pearl hovered beside him, its purple tassels swirling around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had absorbed most of the spell’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he been at full strength, he wouldn’t have feared Qin Ming—but now, he was at his last breath. He knew continuing the fight meant certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun acted decisively—he slapped a glowing blue talisman onto his chest and instantly transformed into a streak of light, fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was genuinely startled—Jiang Kun, barely alive, still had so many survival tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately pushed his Spirit Light Flying Shuttle to full speed! WHOOSH! The shuttle’s top speed equaled that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying at full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming closed the distance to Jiang Kun in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun felt Qin Ming catching up—his soul nearly fled in terror! A top-grade flying magic treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell did this kid get something like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Ming neared, he unleashed his bloodline power and slashed with a fiery blade. Jiang Kun barely raised his right hand, gripping a blue-green longsword; he gritted his teeth and spent his last spiritual power to thrust out a sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword aura flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH! ZING! The blue-green sword unleashed several sharp sword qi, barely blocking Qin Ming’s killing strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sword qi pierced through the fiery blade, striking Qin Ming’s “Lustrous Armor” formed from his bloodline power—and pierced through, slicing a wound into Qin Ming’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top-grade magic treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming winced in pain—he had strengthened his body for so long, and this was the first time a magic treasure had wounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with cruelty—he unleashed the full power of the “Bloodburning Blade Art.” The space around Jiang Kun was instantly engulfed in dense fiery blade edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade edges flashed, severing Jiang Kun’s left calf clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming leapt forward, stomping Jiang Kun down beneath his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough! Cough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, listen to me,” Jiang Kun said, his face covered in blood, pupils suddenly dilating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash! A flash of cold light passed through Qin Ming’s eyes; he struck with brutal force, slicing straight through Jiang Kun’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Kun’s head rolled to the side, his eyes frozen in shock and disbelief until death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming collected Jiang Kun’s blue magic sword and storage pouch, then flicked a black spiritual seed at the corpse and activated the Thorns Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black vines instantly engulfed Jiang Kun’s body, and soon it became a desiccated corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gathered the blood droplets on the ground and fired a Fireball Technique at the corpse to destroy all traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just finished all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he sensed four powerful spiritual energy signatures approaching rapidly from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s heart tightened; he immediately activated his Spirit Light Shuttle and vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Thank you to “Reader20220329095731940” for the 200-coin tip—this is my first ever tip, and I deeply appreciate it!
