Chapter 57: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Devils

Among the dozen or so Flying Cloud Guard members brought by Lu Yunfei, including himself, there were five late Qi Refining stage experts, and the rest had at least the sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation base.

Although Song Qingming had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining for less than a year, among the many cultivators in this Flying Cloud Guard team, his cultivation base could be considered to be at the bottom. But he practiced the Jade Profound Scripture technique, and his magic power was relatively deep among ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

Even so, now that he was running with all his magic power, he could only barely keep up with the crowd and rushed to the very end of the team.

"Evil ways, go to death."

Lu Yunfei, who rushed to the front, soon arrived at the side of the altar. He took out a huge square seal magic treasure of three feet in size, shouted loudly, and smashed it toward the several demonic cultivators rushing down from the altar.

"Hmph, thief, don't be arrogant."

Just as the seal flew to the top of the heads of the several demonic cultivators, a tall purple-clad man released a huge mountain-opening axe, pushed away the seal magic treasure above their heads, stepped forward, and fought with Lu Yunfei.

This person was also a late Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator, whose cultivation base was about the same as Lu Yunfei’s. The two magic treasures collided together, the spiritual light on the magic treasures kept flashing, and for a time, the two were evenly matched.

Seeing that the attackers had arrived before his eyes, Gu Liangshan had already used a black banner magic treasure. A burst of black smoke quickly emerged from the black banner, and a strange sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling emitted by the grievances in the black smoke grabbed several cultivators rushing to the front.

This black banner magic treasure was a magic treasure given to him by his master Yang Wuqi for self-defense. This banner was named the Soul-Gathering Banner, which was refined by Yang Wuqi after spending several years collecting the souls of hundreds of mortals in his early years, and its divine abilities far exceeded ordinary high-grade magic treasures.

Gu Liangshan’s cultivation base had already reached the peak of Qi Refining, and he had the powerful Soul-Gathering Banner in his hand, so he alone blocked three late Qi Refining stage experts, including the old man Shi Mofeng.

The last late Qi Refining stage Carefree Sect cultivator, Wei Tong, had no opponent of the same rank to block him, and soon rushed through the entanglement of several mid-Qi Refining stage demonic cultivators and killed his way to the altar.

Looking at the several cultivators who had fallen into a coma on the altar, Wei Tong released the flying sword in his hand, and a sound of clanking chains falling sounded. Soon he untied the iron chains binding these people.

Wei Tong was just about to step forward to check the situation of these people, but several demonic cultivators killed their way out from behind the altar, and the leader also had a late Qi Refining stage cultivation base.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Wei Tong could only temporarily put down these comatose cultivators and turned to prepare to deal with this group of demonic cultivators who had arrived.

At the same time, Song Qingming and other mid-Qi Refining stage cultivators who were left behind also arrived at the altar, and the two sides that encountered each other soon mixed into a ball.

This group of demonic cultivators who came to support, although there were seven or eight people, apart from one late Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator, the rest had low cultivation bases, and two of them had only cultivated to the early Qi Refining stage.

Facing Song Qingming and these Flying Cloud Guard members whose strength was obviously stronger, they soon fell into a disadvantage, and were beaten by Song Qingming and the others until they retreated repeatedly. One early Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator soon died at the hands of Old Ghost Feng.

The late Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator who was fighting with Wei Tong saw that the demonic cultivators he brought to support were defeated by their opponents one after another, and he also knew that Song Qingming and this group of people had impressive strength and were not easy to deal with.

This demonic cultivator saw that the situation was a bit bad, and he himself was very difficult to take down this opponent, Wei Tong. After pondering for a moment, he also made up his mind. During the battle, he found an opportunity, erupted the demonic energy stored in his body, tried his best to force back Wei Tong, abandoned these companions he brought, and fled toward the back of the altar.

Seeing the leader of the demonic cultivators flee, the several demonic cultivators who were still resisting Song Qingming and the others soon followed his footsteps and chose to flee in a panic one after another.

Two unlucky demonic cultivators were unfortunately entangled by their opponents and soon died at the hands of the crowd.

Seeing these demonic cultivators flee, Wei Tong saw that they had already occupied the upper hand in the two battlefields on the altar and said loudly to the crowd beside him:

"Leave two people to rescue the trapped cultivators on the altar first, and then go to support Brother Lu and the others. The rest follow me to pursue these demonic cultivators. Must not let them escape from here."

Seeing that these demonic cultivators had low strength and were somewhat unbearable, everyone volunteered to pursue the fleeing demonic cultivators. Only Song Qingming and another cultivator with a lower cultivation base were not eager to make contributions and chose to stay behind to help.

Lu Yunfei, who was fighting with the purple-clad demonic cultivator, saw that Wei Tong and the others had already repelled the demonic cultivators who came to support, and a burst of joy secretly thought:

"If he can lead this Flying Cloud Guard team to successfully exterminate this group of demonic cultivators, that can be considered a great contribution to the sect. After returning this time, there will definitely be many merit rewards. Plus, he has the support of his teachers, and the quota for exchanging for the sect’s Foundation Establishment Pill might have a share for him."

After the crowd left, Song Qingming and the other person arrived at the altar. The fierce battle below just now didn't wake up any of the comatose cultivators on the altar. The two checked for a while before discovering that these people had all been restrained in their five senses and spiritual sense by those demonic cultivators and could no longer hear any movement from the outside world.

Fortunately, the restrictions set by these demonic cultivators were just ordinary restrictions. Song Qingming was a formation master and knew these restrictions very well, so he soon broke the restrictions on these people one by one.

After the restrictions were broken, these people were soon awakened by the movement of the fighting below. These people didn't have high cultivation bases, the highest one only had the fifth level of Qi Refining, and they all looked like relatively young and immature cultivators. There was even one person who didn't even know how he was caught here.

After waking up and seeing Song Qingming and the other person, they slowly understood that they had been restrained by demonic cultivators and caught here to perform blood sacrifice.

Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, thanking the two for their life-saving grace.

"I am Hu Daozhen, a deacon of Tianfeng Building in Guiyun Market. Thank you several Daoist friends for your life-saving grace. This place is extremely dangerous. Please take us away from this place together, Daoist friends. After returning to Guiyun Market in the future, Hu will definitely find a way to reward several Daoist friends."

"Several Daoist friends, no need for courtesy, please get up quickly. This place is indeed not a safe place. Please rest assured, everyone don't worry. After killing these demonic cultivators in a while, you can go with us and leave here together."

Song Qingming and the other person looked at these panicked Daoist friends and hurriedly comforted them a few words.

After rescuing these people, looking at the other two battlefields, the two discussed and decided to join forces to help Shi Mofeng and the other two get out of trouble first, and then defeat the strongest Gu Liangshan among this group of demonic cultivators together. Hu Daozhen, who had the fifth level of Qi Refining, heard their discussion and also volunteered to help.

Lu Yunfei and the purple-clad giant had fought dozens of rounds. Although they couldn't take down the opponent for a while, Lu Yunfei, relying on the excellent magic treasures on his body, had already occupied some upper hand.

Although Shi Mofeng and the other two were late Qi Refining stage experts, all three of them were a bit conservative when facing the enemy, and their cooperation was not very good. Facing Gu Liangshan, who had a high cultivation base and more seasoned fighting, the three were beaten somewhat timidly at first and were tightly entangled by Gu Liangshan’s Soul-Gathering Banner.

After entangling for a while, the three slowly stabilized their footing. Although Gu Liangshan seemed to have occupied some upper hand, he knew very well in his heart that relying on him alone to fight three late Qi Refining stage experts was impossible to fight for a long time, so he was also a bit anxious in his heart.

Looking at Song Qingming and the other two who had killed their way over from afar, Gu Liangshan’s brows furrowed, and he was already pondering how to escape in his heart.

Song Qingming and the other two had just joined the battlefield on Gu Liangshan’s side when a panicked sound suddenly came from the distance behind the altar.

"There is a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, everyone... run quickly."
