Chapter 423: Insect Repelling Technique

The one who spoke was Song Qingming, who had been standing on the side without saying a word.

After the purple-clothed woman and the others stopped Song Qingming and the others, their attention was focused on the main target, Xu Cheng Ziyan and her Junior Sister. They didn't pay much attention to Song Qingming, who was traveling with them.

Now hearing Song Qingming say this, the people who were still in a stalemate all turned their eyes to him. Especially the purple-clothed woman, when she discovered that Song Qingming was also a ninth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, her face immediately became somewhat ugly.

Seeing that the other party was indeed targeting the spiritual objects on Xu Cheng Ziyan and the others, Song Qingming, although he knew that it would be very difficult for these people to give up without reaching their goal, still persuaded them earnestly, and by the way, displayed his cultivation to see if he could make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.

Although the other party had five people, there were only two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Song Qingming and Xu Cheng Ziyan's cultivation had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. If they really fought, they might not necessarily be able to take much advantage.

"This Fellow Daoist, you shouldn't have come with them, right? We are only targeting the two of them today, and it has nothing to do with others. As long as you don't meddle in other people's business, we can make friends. I will let you leave now. What do you think!"

Facing the purple-clothed woman's inducement, Song Qingming waved his hand calmly and said softly:

"What the other party said is correct. I truly don't want to meddle in other people's business. As long as you all move aside and let us pass, everyone will be safe and sound. What other business do I have to meddle in?"

"I'm just afraid that you won't listen to advice and insist on blocking the way. That would make me somewhat embarrassed. Although I didn't come with them, we are indeed acquaintances, so it is truly not easy to stand by and watch!"

Seeing Song Qingming speaking, with a black-backed silver knife already in his hand, intending to advance and retreat with them, Xu Cheng Ziyan and that cyan-clothed woman, whose faces had been somewhat nervous, immediately relaxed.

Before leaving from the teleportation array, they both felt that they seemed to have been watched.

When Xu Cheng Ziyan saw Song Qingming, who teleported with them, she immediately took the initiative to find him and invited him to travel together. I didn't expect that this intentional act would play a key role now.

Although Xu Cheng Ziyan had some kindness to Song Qingming back then, that was also many years ago. In this cultivation world, although chivalry is advocated, many times for the sake of important cultivation resources and their own lives, there are many villains who betray friends and brothers.

Facing this critical situation, if Song Qingming really chose to ignore them and leave directly, Xu Cheng Ziyan actually couldn't say much.

After all, Song Qingming is now also a cultivator whose cultivation is not inferior to her own. Asking him to risk his own life to repay kindness is indeed not an easy thing for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to do.

"Good, good, good! Fellow Daoist, you insist on seeking death yourself, so don't blame us."

After the purple-clothed woman made a gesture, she shook a black banner in her hand and rushed towards Xu Cheng Ziyan. The other four also followed, each using their supernatural powers, and immediately killed Song Qingming and the cyan-clothed woman.

Seeing this, Song Qingming was no longer as low-key as before. He directly controlled the black-backed silver knife in his hand to stop three of them, and only left the middle-aged man with the lowest cultivation to Xu Cheng Ziyan's Junior Sister.

Besides the purple-clothed woman who had the same cultivation as Xu Cheng Ziyan, among the other four, the one with the highest cultivation was a withered old man at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.

Although this person didn't have any powerful attack magic tools on him, he was very good at driving a strange kind of golden spirit insect. Although these spirit insects were not large in size, they were numerous, and each was extremely cruel and fearless of death. No matter how many Song Qingming killed, a large wave would soon rush towards him again.

Song Qingming didn't expect that this withered old man, who didn't look like much, would actually have a secret technique that was very rare in the cultivation world: the Insect Repelling Technique.

The other two who assisted the old man in attacking Song Qingming were both cultivators at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. These two people's supernatural powers were relatively average, and together they could barely deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After Song Qingming fought them for dozens of rounds, besides the old man's spirit insects posing some threat to him, he hadn't felt any other danger for the time being, and gradually gained some upper hand.

Besides Song Qingming's battlefield, the opponent fighting Xu Cheng Ziyan's Junior Sister had average cultivation and supernatural powers. Although her Junior Sister couldn't win in a short time, if they continued to fight, she would definitely gain the upper hand.

Only on Xu Cheng Ziyan's side, facing the strong attack of the purple-clothed woman, she quickly felt great pressure. Although Xu Cheng Ziyan's cultivation and supernatural powers were not as good as core disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect like Li Yungong, she was indeed much more powerful than ordinary cultivators of the same tier.

However, she didn't expect that the purple-clothed woman she was fighting against had means and supernatural powers that were even stronger than hers. Soon, she was suppressed by the other party's attack.

Encountering cultivators with such strength among loose cultivators is very difficult. This time, Xu Cheng Ziyan also met an expert, and she couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart, and could only fight and retreat while gritting her teeth.

The strategy of the purple-clothed woman's side was very simple, which was that the others would drag Song Qingming and the two first, and she, who was the strongest, would solve Xu Cheng Ziyan alone. As long as she took down her opponent first, and then turned back to deal with Song Qingming and the two together, it would be much simpler.

However, what the purple-clothed woman didn't expect was that before she won, the battlefield where Song Qingming was besieged soon had a change that surprised her.

Seeing that the old man's spirit insects were indeed very difficult to deal with, Song Qingming took advantage of the gap when the other party was driving the spirit insects, used the Wind-Walking Boots to quickly increase his speed to approach him, and used the Clear Water Bell hidden on his body to cover him inside.

After trapping the old man who drove the spirit insects with the Clear Water Bell, Song Qingming finally freed his hands to focus on dealing with the two opponents who had been pestering him.

Both of these people, whether it was magic tools or cultivation techniques and supernatural powers, were very average. Under Song Qingming's sharp attack, soon one of them was defeated and died under his black-backed silver knife.

The other one saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly ran to the purple-clothed woman's side to seek help. However, Song Qingming did not give him this opportunity. Just when he thought he was about to escape danger, a transparent thorn pierced through his chest from behind.

After solving these two people, Song Qingming raised his hand again and took the initiative to open the Clear Water Bell, releasing the withered old man from inside.

This time, without the assistance of the two helpers, the spirit insects alone could no longer completely contain Song Qingming. Before long, this withered old man was beheaded by Song Qingming, and the spirit insects he had cultivated for many years also suddenly became ownerless and flew around in the air in a mess.
