Chapter 79: Slaughter and Plunder

"What!"

Zhao Lingfeng looked at the mighty killing aura surrounding Lu Chen and Su Qian, and the action in his hand suddenly stopped.

"You are demonic cultivators?!"

He looked panicked, as if he had thought of something.

"If not demonic cultivators, what else could they be?"

Lu Chen gave a faint smile.

"Wait, let's talk! I'm also a member of the Demonic Sect! We're the same kind of people!!"

Zhao Lingfeng said and was about to raise his hand to dispel the formation.

But it was too late.

Beside her, Su Qian's killing aura had already flared up, and the terrifying power of a late-stage Condensed Spirit cultivator instantly swept forth.

"A Condensed Spirit Grand Cultivator?!!"

Zhao Lingfeng's expression was shocked; he reacted extremely quickly, instantly rushing to the edge of the restriction, wanting to escape here.

Because everything happened suddenly, and furthermore he wanted to swallow Lu Chen and the others' wealth for himself, he had not notified the other few demonic cultivator companions in the sect.

With just him alone, facing a Condensed Spirit Grand Cultivator, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

Therefore he first thought of fleeing.

"Want to run? Too late!"

Lu Chen is a selfish person; whether orthodox or demonic cultivator, if anyone infringes on his interests, he will show no mercy.

In the next moment, Lu Chen sacrificed the Chaos Heaven Banner and simultaneously drove the Blood Spirit Sword to execute the Black Prison Sword Canon.

Instantly, several strands of black qi swept toward the opponent.

In a short moment it enveloped Zhao Lingfeng.

"Ah!!" Zhao Lingfeng felt only darkness before his eyes, and a strange energy was greedily devouring his soul.

"You are merely at the initial Essence Pill stage! How could you possibly possess such techniques!"

Although Zhao Lingfeng had not yet broken through to Condensed Spirit, he also possessed the late-stage Spirit Transformation realm.

The gap between him and Lu Chen was a full five minor realms.

Unless he is a genius of the age, how could he possibly cross such a huge chasm!

Lu Chen did not respond to him.

You should know, his soul has only recovered to fifty percent so far.

All his methods can only exert half of their original power.

If he were to fully recover his soul, the power of the Black Prison Sword Canon and the Chaos Heaven Banner could be increased again.

"What kind of magic device is this!! It can actually ignore my defense and directly attack my soul!!"

"You look only about eighteen or nineteen years old, how can you have so much demonic technique?!"

Zhao Lingfeng's expression was shocked, and he was still struggling to resist the erosion from the Chaos Heaven Banner.

Five years ago, he was recruited by a certain demonic cultivator, and over the past fifty years he has cultivated countless demonic techniques.

During these years, he has even entered Perfection Isle several times to further study demonic techniques.

But he has indeed never seen such terrifying methods.

At this moment, Zhao Lingfeng felt that Lu Chen resembled a demonic cultivator even more than himself!

"Do you really intend to put me to death?!"

It seemed he knew he had no hope of survival; his former pleading tone disappeared, replaced by a sense of resolve.

"Junior! Since it's come to this, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

As his words fell, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

In the next moment, the essence blood turned into a blood mist that enveloped him, and his aura instantly became violent and chaotic.

"Master, be careful, this old thing seems to be performing some forbidden secret technique!"

Su Qian spoke with a solemn expression.

Lu Chen slightly nodded, originally intending to ask for some information about demonic cultivators.

But given his resistance, we could only kill him on the spot.

Immediately, he ordered Su Qian to use a killing move to completely obliterate him.

"Yes!"

Su Qian received the order, and her killing aura instantly surged to its peak.

She lightly tapped her lotus feet, instantly arriving above the Black Prison, her hands quickly forming seals while she chanted.

"Nine Netherworld Immortal-Subduing Palm!"

As Zhao Lingfeng's aura continued to rage and his essence blood was about to be completely burned up, a huge black hand that covered the sky appeared out of nowhere.

This move should have drawn heavenly and earthly omens, but Su Qian feared attracting the attention of others in the sect, so she deliberately reduced part of its power.

Nevertheless, this was still enough to slay a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The huge hand, wrapped in terrifying power, caused even the void to emit a "crack crack" sound wherever it passed.

Zhao Lingfeng looked up in terror; the huge hand kept approaching in his eyes, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him.

"Impossible! This! You......"

He let out a desperate howl, and finally died under Su Qian's palm.

"Master, it's settled."

Su Qian's figure flashed, returning to Lu Chen's side.

However, Lu Chen did not immediately respond to her; instead, he looked with a solemn expression at the place where Zhao Lingfeng had just died.

"Su Qian, do you still remember that you left a special ghost cultivator technique?"

Replying to Master, I remember.

Su Qian responded with a sentence, instantly grasping Lu Chen's meaning.

She extended her divine sense, and indeed saw in a corner of the medicine field a wooden tablet retaining a trace of soul.

Looking at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of an old friend.

He reached out and took the ghost jade hanging from his neck, giving a faint smile:

"Senior Mo, I have now arrived at the Divine Continent and will soon be able to avenge you."

When he said this, a smile was on his face.

Those who don't know would surely think that this Senior Mo is one of his revered masters.

"Master, should we exterminate him?"

Su Qian brought over the wooden tablet and asked.

"See if you can get any information from it; if not, just exterminate it."

"Remember not to waste the soul; store it in the Chaos Heaven Banner."

Lu Chen had already lost interest in that person; what he currently needs most is Thousand-Spirit Grass.

Chu Lian was still picking the Thousand-Spirit Grass stalk by stalk, while he had already waved his hand, storing all the herbs in the entire medicine field into his storage bag.

"Don't waste so many rare herbs."

"Let's go, while the other sect members haven't noticed yet."

Based on Zhao Lingfeng's performance, Lu Chen could guess that there are other demonic cultivators inside the Cangshan Sect.

However, this is not important to him.

He and the other party have no conflict of interest, so he would not inexplicably target them.

Moreover, the more demonic cultivators there are in the Divine Continent, the safer he is.

Although his heart leans toward the light, his demonic cultivator identity cannot be shed.

Hmm.

Chu Lian held the storage bag filled with medicinal ingredients, having already refined them all into various top-grade pills in her mind.

"Logically, this medicine field should have other disciples guarding it; leaving so easily must be due to Zhao Lingfeng's own reasons."

After leaving the Cangshan Sect, Lu Chen released Wangcai, and the three of them returned all the way to Zixuan City.

By the time they returned, it was already the next day.

Because many cultivators were mobilized, Zixuan City was largely repaired in just one day; although only the imperial palace's personnel remained in the city, at least it was no longer as devastated as before.

After finding a room for Chu Lian to refine pills, Lu Chen went without rest for several days, then pulled Su Qian to find a place to sleep.

After sleeping for a long time, only when Chu Lian brought the Soul-Nourishing Pill before him did he slowly awaken.

"Refined?" Looking at the Soul-Nourishing Pill in her hand, Lu Chen felt somewhat incredulous.

It was actually this fast.

"Hmm, one furnace and it was done."

"One furnace and it was done?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen appeared somewhat disappointed.

For him, the waste pill actually works better.

However, since they have been refined, we should hurry and take them.

After all, if the soul is not repaired, the realm cannot break through.

Thinking of this, he took out a Soul-Nourishing Pill and swallowed it.
