Chapter 87: One Punch Presses the Tidal Head
"Dong Shao and Qiao Shimei Liu have both fallen, Mo Can just sent the message!"
On the high platform, Qin Xian and the dwarf cultivator had originally occupied the east and west corners, sitting cross-legged and polishing their true Qi.
Seeing the dwarf cultivator looking over in confusion, Qin Xian stopped sneering, a fierce look flashing in his eyes:
"Qiao Shimei Liu, because she cultivated the spiritual eye technique bestowed by the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu, discovered Chen Hang's face, but she died not long after sending the message! And Dong Shao, who rushed over, also died! Only Mo Can, who went slowly, saved his own life. If you say the deaths of the two sect-mates have nothing to do with that brat? I don't believe it!"
"Dead? How? These are two Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
The dwarf cultivator was startled, jumped up from the ground, and exclaimed:
"And they are not cats or dogs, how can they just disappear? Which loose cultivator can kill sect disciples, and who dares to kill them?"
The gap between ordinary loose cultivator families and sect disciples is almost impossible to describe. Whether it is the Qi Cultivation Art, Daoist techniques, or talisman artifacts, they are all a cut above...
Unless they were lucky enough to have great luck, otherwise, when loose cultivators face sect disciples, the outcome is often self-evident...
"Did I say it was a loose cultivator?!"
Qin Xian said impatiently, waving his sleeves and glaring at the dwarf.
"Chen Hang? Xiao Xiao Shixiong Qin... it's not that I'm deaf, it's just that this is too absurd, who can believe it?"
The dwarf cultivator smiled bitterly, bowed, and said:
"He was so doted on by Yan Zhen before, as long as he asked for something, there was nothing she wouldn't agree to. Even so, have you seen him enter any immortal path? How long has Yan Zhen been dead? Even if he has proven Embryonic Breathing and Qi Cultivation, where did he get such high cultivation to kill two Foundation Establishment cultivators of my Blood Lotus Sect!"
These words also made some sense.
Qin Xian frowned and pondered for a long time, but still shook his head, obviously not fully believing the dwarf cultivator's words.
"How many cultivators other than our sect are there in this Huaiwu Cave now?"
He shouted to the Blood Lotus Sect cultivators under the high platform.
"At most, it should be no more than fifty... Those who were sensible have already left on their own, and those who wanted to be tough were either driven away or slaughtered by us."
Below, a man wearing colorful clothes, with a thin and withered body, replied.
"Fifty?"
Qin Xian paced a few steps, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"There are only two hours left until the three-day period of this Huaiwu Cave expires. If there is any unexpected event, it must be within these two hours."
This trial of the Huaiwu Cave is based on a three-day period...
One must wait until the three-day period expires, and those who remain in this magic treasure can count, and according to the amount of essence Qi in the porcelain bottles of these people, a ranking will be made.
As for those who left the Huaiwu Cave before the three days were up, they naturally couldn't even be counted in the ranking.
"After this matter is done, not only will there be rewards in the sect, but if we are lucky enough to be appreciated by the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu, then everyone will have a boundless future!"
Qin Xian looked around and shouted loudly:
"Success or failure depends on this one move. Everyone, cheer up, don't fall short at this last moment!"
The Blood Lotus Sect crowd all shouted in unison, releasing their aura at the same time, shaking the surrounding mountains and fields, and the flowing clouds in the sky scattered, the momentum quite terrifying.
Seeing this, Qin Xian's originally tense expression relaxed, and a smile curled on his lips.
The Blood Lotus Sect cultivators here are all good hands in the Qi Cultivation realm, numbering over two hundred. With so many people working together, let alone a Purple Palace cultivator, I fear even a high-gong cultivator who has just achieved the Purple Palace realm could be delayed for a while!
And this Huaiwu Cave only allows those in the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment realms to come here.
In this way.
With these two hundred Qi Cultivation sect-mates accompanying him.
Qin Xian was already standing in an invincible position. The top three rankings were within reach, and he could walk sideways in this Huaiwu Cave!
"This time, a total of six Foundation Establishment true cultivators from our sect entered. Apart from you and me, there are still Mo Can and Chen Chen Shidi Zhang. You send two more gold arrows and summon them all here!"
Qin Xian said to the dwarf cultivator again.
"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Qin, you are being too cautious."
The dwarf cultivator looked at Qin Xian with disbelief, shaking his head with a smile.
"The enemy? There is only one hour left, where is the enemy? Could it be in a dream!"
The Blood Lotus Sect cultivators who followed Qin Xian into the Huaiwu Cave were all trying to make a contribution to the sect, to earn a future.
The Qi Cultivation ones were fine.
Qin Xian was, after all, at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, "Size as Desired." His true Qi had long been tempered, sending and receiving freely, lifting heavy things as if they were light. He could suppress this group of Qi Cultivation practitioners who were one great realm lower than him, making them act according to his will, not daring to disobey.
But those few Foundation Establishment sect-mates.
They were not so easy to talk to...
The dwarf cultivator knew that apart from himself and the dead Dong Shao, those few sect-mates were secretly unconvinced by Qin Xian. Although they didn't show it on the surface, they didn't know what kind of ghosts they were hiding in the dark.
They were willing to help Qin Xian collect essence Qi only because they were barely in a state of shared honor and shared loss. If Qin Xian, this leading pawn, was appreciated, they could also share some merit.
Only then were they forced to do so...
If Qin Xian wanted to summon them with one order, calling them to come and go, it would be impossible.
Those people were also at the first layer of Foundation Establishment, only one small realm away from Qin Xian, who was at the second layer of Foundation Establishment.
If he wanted to drive them like Qi Cultivation practitioners, I fear those people wouldn't necessarily give Qin Xian this face.
And as the one who took the lead, he would also be resented, and it would be difficult to avoid being tripped or given small shoes in the future...
"This trip is led by me. The handwritten letter from Refiner Li, the seal of the Sect Master, and even the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu recognizes it! All Blood Lotus Sect disciples must listen to my orders and act according to my will. Who dares not to respond? Who can disobey?!"
Seeing the dwarf cultivator's fearful expression, obviously unwilling to offend people.
Qin Xian stared at the dwarf cultivator for a long time, until the dwarf cultivator's body trembled and he was about to sweat profusely, before he suddenly laughed coldly, his voice rumbling:
"I know they are unconvinced by me, but so what? As long as they are still in this magic treasure's inner scene... you, all of you! Must listen to my orders!"
He pointed at the dwarf cultivator and shouted sharply:
"Now, send the gold arrows out, let them roll back immediately, otherwise don't say that I, this Xiao Xiao Shixiong, didn't warn you, and didn't care about the friendship of the sect-mates!"
The dwarf cultivator could only say yes, hurriedly wiped his sweat, took two gold arrows from his sleeve, and threw them into the air.
After doing this, he saw Qin Xian's expression soften slightly, so he flattered and arched his hands, apologizing and stepping forward: "Xiao Xiao Shixiong is indeed cautious. Such a temperament is the handiwork of doing great things. I am far behind."
"You are also a fool. Do you really think this time is ten-tenths certain?"
Qin Xian glanced at him.
"What does Xiao Xiao Shixiong mean?"
"This Huaiwu Cave clearly still hides a great enemy, otherwise how did Dong Shao and Qiao Shimei Liu die? Staying outside, letting people break them one by one?"
"I don't know who this great enemy is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's ten-tenths the Huaiwu Cave Master, this old man!"
Qin Xian paused, then slowly transmitted sound: "We can use means, deliberately breaking his laws, making him lose face in front of the southern region cultivators. Is this old man willing to just let it go? Just watch us succeed?"
"... We can gather people, does this old man also want to gather people?"
Being reminded by Qin Xian, the dwarf cultivator was stunned for a long time before finally reacting.
"It seems Chen Chen Shidi still has some wit."
Qin Xian smiled, flicked his sleeves, and said:
"There are definitely still some cultivators hidden in this Huaiwu Cave. I have roughly guessed the Huaiwu Cave Master's thoughts. Heh, nothing more than promising generous benefits, saying that he will gather them to be enemies with us, not letting us take the top three rankings, and damaging his face... It seems that within these two hours, there will definitely be a bitter battle before we can succeed."
——
The two great immortal giants of the southern region, the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu and the Five Lights Sect.
Because of the grievances of many years, these two have long been unhappy with each other. Small fights have happened more than once or twice.
It's just that they fear that if they truly fight, it will be difficult to avoid damage to both sides, causing the fisherman to benefit from the snipe and clam fighting, so they have forcefully suppressed it several times.
The Huaiwu Cave Master rebuilt the "Golden Valley Market" in Daojun Fu Yu Lake, which gained a lot of help from the Five Lights Sect. This move naturally displeased the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu, so they specifically let the Blood Lotus Sect come to beat him.
And people like Qin Xian are the pawns pushed out by the Blood Lotus Sect.
The trial in the Huaiwu Cave has always claimed to be a good deed for the loose cultivators of the southern region, and the top three rankings have never included sect disciples. These sect disciples are usually sensible and take the essence Qi, then leave this inner scene early.
But this time, a Qin Xian who didn't know how to be sensible came.
Not only did he not leave early, but he also wanted to expel and slaughter all the cultivators, and take the top three for himself.
If this matter were to spread, for the Huaiwu Cave Master, it would undoubtedly be a total loss of face.
"Gathering these cultivators in the Huaiwu Cave to be enemies with us? This, do they have the guts? Aren't they afraid of offending the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu?"
Hearing Qin Xian's words, the dwarf cultivator was somewhat skeptical.
"Right or wrong, we will know within these two hours. Also, just assume I'm overthinking. If we really fight, when you see Chen Hang, you still need to be vigilant, Chen Chen Shidi Xu."
Qin Xian didn't say much more, just flicked his sleeves and said coldly:
"Take care of yourself!"
After speaking, he sat down again and took out a book to read.
Leaving only the dwarf cultivator, who was half-believing, in a daze. After a while, he shook his head in confusion and stopped thinking about it.
One hour passed in a flash.
During this period, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Blood Lotus Sect who were outside had already returned, one was Mo Can who transmitted the message with a blood swallow, and the other was a male cultivator named Zhang Zhenghan.
Mo Can was fine, just weeping and sobbing.
And the Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhang Zhenghan was full of impatience, glancing at Qin Xian who was sitting quietly from time to time, his gaze unkind.
"What? Great enemy? There is only one hour left, where is the great enemy? Could it be in a dream!"
Seeing that there was only one hour left in the Huaiwu Cave trial, Zhang Zhenghan felt relieved and couldn't help but sneer:
"A dignified Foundation Establishment true cultivator, actually so timid. With such a temperament, what are you cultivating? What are you proving? It would be better to be a rich man at the foot of the mountain, wouldn't that be happier?"
Qin Xian's expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard these words at all.
The dwarf cultivator carefully observed Qin Xian's expression, then turned to Zhang Zhenghan, who was indignant, and advised:
"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Qin is the leader of this trip, he is also thinking about our lives. Dong Shao and Qiao Shimei Liu have died inexplicably, everyone gathering together is at least a support."
"Dong Shao and Qiao Shimei Liu died, that's because they didn't learn well. Saying it as if this Huaiwu Cave is so dangerous!"
Zhang Zhenghan still wanted to mock, but saw Mo Can glaring fiercely, his eyes red, his expression extremely ferocious.
"What? You're not happy when I talk about your lover? Oh, right, I almost forgot, Dong Shao was obsessed with Qiao Shimei Liu, you, this filthy fool, have nothing to do with him, but I was wrong to Dong Shao!"
Zhang Zhenghan saw him glaring, was startled, but didn't show weakness, and sneered.
"Who said Dong Shao has nothing to do with me? You bastard, I and he were in mutual love!"
Mo Can was almost furious.
The two began to argue, and finally almost started a real fire. The dwarf cultivator jumped in anxiety, persuading this one and pulling that one, and the high platform was in chaos.
And just as the dwarf cultivator was overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a thunderous boom exploded from the flat ground! Like a mountain collapsing and a stone cracking!
The dwarf cultivator looked in astonishment, only to see fifty loose cultivators rushing over, their aura released together, like a rolling wave brushing over. The Blood Lotus Sect cultivators all felt gravel flying under their feet, flapping and moving.
Leading the loose cultivators was a cultivator with six fingers, stepping on a piece of yellow turbid true Qi, holding a small furnace in his hand.
"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Qin was right! The Huaiwu Cave Master old man really gathered these loose cultivators to block our success!"
The dwarf cultivator's heart jumped: "And it's Lu Yu leading, it's really troublesome!"
At this time.
Qin Xian, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly laughed loudly, threw the book in his hand, and stood up:
"The light of a firefly, how can it compete with the bright moon? The Cave Master is already at his wit's end."
Qin Xian spread his true Qi, like a giant waterfall booming, like a tide rushing. He pointed to the Blood Lotus Sect cultivators under the high platform and shouted:
"Junior Brothers and Sisters, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The Blood Lotus Sect crowd shouted in unison and rushed to kill.
The two sides fought in an instant, and for a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, all kinds of talisman artifacts and flying swords crisscrossed, light blooming, flashing incessantly, like sparks gathering, extremely fierce.
But after fighting for a few moments, the group of loose cultivators finally had fewer people than the Blood Lotus Sect, their strength was exhausted, and they were about to show signs of defeat.
"Truly a group of fools, seeing profit and forgetting life, being fooled by the Huaiwu Cave Master old man with a few words to die, they deserve to die!"
Casually brushing away a flying sword, Qin Xian just smiled and pressed his hand, and several Qi Cultivation practitioners felt a red light rushing toward them. As if a piece of red water was surging, before they knew it, their heads had fallen, and their bodies had rotted into mud.
Qin Xian walked in the field as if he were strolling in a courtyard, looking around, seeing that these loose cultivators had already been frightened and many had fled, his heart sneered even more.
At this time, many Blood Lotus Sect cultivators were already gathered around him, guarding him like personal soldiers.
"Wait!"
Qin Xian suddenly froze, pointing at two people wearing black cloud robes who were about to approach:
"How can I not remember that my sect's Qi Cultivation practitioners have their faces covered? You two, take off those bamboo masks immediately!"
His shout attracted the attention of many people.
Zhang Zhenghan, who was fighting a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, glanced at it and slandered in his heart:
"Looking at the aura, they are clearly people of my Blood Lotus Sect, but just because they covered their faces, he has to make a fuss? This Qin Xian is truly as timid as a mouse, making people laugh!"
And after this shout, Qin Xian also secretly raised his true Qi, concentrating on the confrontation, and more than a dozen Blood Lotus Sect cultivators nearby heard the news and came, guarding him in the center.
"Brother Chen, how can this be? Obviously the aura is not bad, this Qin fellow is too scheming!"
One of the two wearing black cloud robes complained.
Qin Xian's pupils shrank!
Just as he was about to act, the person who spoke laughed, and a white light shot from his pupils, piercing through all things, rushing straight over!
At the moment of life and death, Qin Xian narrowly sacrificed a piece of green jade, blocking it in front of him.
But that white light seemed to be formless and qualityless, passing through the green jade, and like a net catching a bird, it covered Qin Xian in the center!
"..."
All thoughts were instantly frozen, all colors faded, turning into hollow black and white, all things stopped, time and light stopped rolling.
I don't know how long it took. When Qin Xian struggled to come back to his senses, the only thing that entered his eyes was Chen Hang's figure, like a god and a demon!
The violent blood Qi was no longer hidden at all, layered like a sea tide, twisting into a pillar of essence several zhang long, like a heavenly dragon leaving the gate!
Every step he took, his momentum climbed a point. By the time he approached Qin Xian in a flash, it was already as fierce as a river pouring down from the sky! Not allowing the slightest disobedience!
"You—"
Before he could react, Qin Xian just raised a stream of true Qi from his Qi Sea in horror, and Chen Hang let out a shout and threw a punch!
Just one punch, and Qin Xian's ears seemed to be filled with countless bells and drums, noise rumbling, and he could no longer hear any sound.
The green jade talisman artifact blocking the fist shook violently, and in an instant, it was like the scorching sun melting snow, the spiritual light extinguished, falling powerlessly.
Boom!
Only a sound like a mountain collapsing and a mountain breaking was heard!
Cultivators on both sides looked in astonishment, only to see Chen Hang slowly loosen his five fingers.
And in front of him.
Qin Xian's shattered body shook slightly, then exploded into a mist of blood, dying on the spot! ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
