Chapter 187: Killing the Dark Envoy
"The Palace Master is of noble status and has to be in charge of the Netherworld Branch Palace. How can he go out at will?" said the man in black in the middle.
"Then what do you mean? Do you think you three can kill me?" Jian Bailou asked. The aura on his body became increasingly powerful and cold, like a peerless sword that was slowly being drawn out of its scabbard, revealing more and more astonishing edge.
“Everyone knows that you, Jian Bailou, are an expert in swordsmanship. You have already comprehended a hint of sword intent, and your strength is almost as strong as a master. It’s no problem for the three of us to join forces to fight you, but it’s impossible to kill you.” The man in black in the middle still spoke sinisterly and slowly.
"Then why did you sneak into the back mountain of my Golden Sword Sect in the middle of the night like thieves?" Jian Bailou asked.
"Didn't that young brother just say that? There is always a way out. We are here to give our fellow swordsman a great opportunity." said the man in black in the middle.
"Haha, what a joke. Your Netherworld Cult acts strangely and evilly, and I don't know how many innocent lives you have killed. Can you still be kind-hearted?"
"Whether it's righteous or evil, good or evil, everyone is pursuing immortality, the only difference is the means! If fellow swordsman is willing to submit to my Netherworld Sect, not only will your injuries be cured immediately, but we will also try our best to help you obtain the resources needed for the Dharma Realm.
"At that time, fellow swordsman's injuries have all healed, and he has entered the realm of Fa Yuan. With your superb swordsmanship, who in Xiyunzhou can stand up to you? How dare the Biyun Sect and Jinlie Sect casually go to Jinjian Mountain and humiliate and provoke your Jinjian Sect on the pretext of nothing?" said the man in black, with a special kind of bewitching power in his voice.
"It seems that you are well-informed!" Jian Bailou smiled disdainfully, then changed his tone and said coldly: "However, people with different beliefs cannot work together! I can't keep you, so I won't force you three to stay. Please go back and tell your hall master that Jian Bailou has remembered the seal from twenty-one years ago."
"Friend Sword Dao, why are you doing this? Why are you leaving such a bright and promising road and choosing to walk down a dead end?" said the man in black.
"Aren't you the same?" Jian Bailou sneered.
"We are different. We take this road to turn death into life!" said the man in black.
"So you can just kill innocent people and collect the souls and blood of the living?" Jian Bailou said.
"Since Fellow Daoist Jian is unwilling to accept our offer, we have no choice but to reveal a piece of news to you. Twenty-one years ago, the seal that our hall master placed on you was called the Child-Mother Demon Seal.
This is a secret method of our Netherworld Sect. It requires the absorption of the blood, souls and spirits of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pairs of poisonous mother and child insects. It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days to condense it. Once it is used, it is necessary to absorb the blood, souls and spirits of the poisonous mother and child insects again and spend another ninety-nine and eighty-one days to condense it before it can be used again.
Therefore, refining the Child and Mother Magic Seal is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Few people in our Netherworld Sect are willing to spend that energy to condense this magic seal. However, our Hall Master values Fellow Daoist Jian very much, and he did not hesitate to refine this magic seal for you. Twenty-one years ago, when you were injured and unable to fight, he used this Child and Mother Magic Seal to hit you.
Although this child-mother magic seal is difficult to condense, it is very mysterious. This magic seal is divided into a child and a mother, and the one that fell on the sword friend is the child seal. The child seal is like a seed, buried deep in your body, and slowly merged with you. Generally, after twenty years, it is almost mature and can break out of the ground, and at this time its seed power should have slowly penetrated into the human Niwan Palace.
Of course, Sword Dao friend cannot feel it now, but once I use the secret method to stimulate it, the sub-seal will break out of the ground like a seed, and Sword Dao friend will feel its existence and power. Of course, Sword Dao friend does not need to worry, as long as you are willing to submit to my Netherworld Sect, the hall master will definitely help you remove this magic seal. "The man in black said slowly.
"Do you think I will surrender if you say that?" Jian Bailou said with a gloomy look.
"It seems that friend Jiandao will not cry until he sees the coffin!" The man in black said coldly. As he spoke, suddenly a point of blood light with black air emanated from his body and formed a symbol in front of him that exuded an aura of incomparable evil and terrifying power.
"you!"
As soon as this symbol appeared, Jian Bailou's face changed drastically. Veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes kept switching between black and white, and there was a faint black gas rolling in the center of his eyebrows, as if a demon wanted to rush out from inside.
"Master!" Feng Ziluo's face changed drastically when he saw this.
"Hehe, Jian Bailou, now you know how powerful you are! A great Qi Refiner in the late Zhen Yuan period, with abundant Zhen Yuan and a strong and condensed soul, the combination of the two makes it extremely difficult for even a master of spiritual cultivation to break in and kill you. But the Mother and Child Demon Seal took twenty years to slowly infiltrate the power of the Netherworld and Death into your soul.
Even if you refuse to submit to my Netherworld Sect, your soul will be devoured by the power of the Netherworld, and you will eventually fall into the devil's way. But by then you will have lost your clear consciousness, so why bother? Since you will fall into the devil's way anyway, you might as well keep your consciousness. Don't you think so?" The man in black said sinisterly.
"Zi Luo, take Qin Feng away from here!" Jian Bailou did not answer the man in black, but said calmly.
"Junior brother, take Zuo Cong and leave the Golden Sword Sect immediately. You should keep this item first. When Zuo Cong really grows up, you can pass it to him." Feng Ziluo did not answer Jian Bailou, but turned the seemingly empty ring on his left ring finger and took off a simple ring.
"Zi Luo!" Jian Bailou's face was filled with grief and anger.
"Master, you understand me!" Feng Ziluo said calmly.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
The man in black patted his hands when he saw this, and said in a sinister voice: "What a touching picture of the deep love between master and disciple. It's just a pity that this time when we came, the hall master also brought us a treasure to guard the hall, the mist miasma. Once this miasma falls, people outside will see a black mist filling the place, and they can neither see nor hear what is happening inside.
Hehe, as for the people inside, they need to have at least some True Essence cultivation and a True Essence shield around their bodies to resist the poison of this miasma. This is just the toxicity. Once this miasma is activated, thousands of poisonous creatures will attack and kill. If fellow swordsman is in his prime, he may have a chance to break through the mist miasma and send your two disciples away.
But now, not only have your old injuries relapsed, but your soul is also being devoured by the netherworld magic. At best, you can only temporarily fight against the two of us. Don't even think about it!"
Jian Bailou said nothing, but just looked at Feng Ziluo, and then suddenly the aura of the master and disciple burst out like a mountain torrent, and then two sword lights shot up into the sky.
One beam of sword light killed a Hades messenger, and the other beam of sword light split into three. Two of them killed the two men in black, who were the Hades messengers, and one beam of sword light flashed in the air, like a bolt of lightning, striking the black fog behind Qin Ziling.
"Qin Feng, let's go!" Jian Bailou shouted, his hair and beard fluttering.
As the sword light fell, the black fog behind Qin Ziling rolled back to both sides, revealing a passage.
"Master Feng, you're still a little short!" Seeing this, a Hades messenger smiled sinisterly, pointed his hand at a golden sword light in the air, and a dark scimitar flew out of the air.
The golden sword light was exactly the Golden Rhino Sword released by Feng Zi Luo Ji.
The scimitar slashed at the golden rhino sword.
It was like a flash of black lightning across a golden rainbow.
The golden rainbow suddenly split into two, revealing the Golden Rhino Sword, which fell down.
The dark scimitar slashed down the golden rhino sword and then slashed towards the sword light that broke through the mist.
Qin Ziling saw the dark scimitar slashing down the Golden Rhino Sword, and then slashing towards the sword light released by Jian Bailou. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he did not hesitate to leap out like a cheetah along the passage opened by the sword light like lightning.
When Qin Ziling fled out like lightning, the dark scimitar had already entangled with Jian Bailou's sword light in the air, bursting into sparks.
The sword light of Jian Bailou was entangled and strangled by the scimitar, and the broken mist poured back into the broken passage in the middle like a tide.
"Po Jun Sha!"
At this moment, Feng Ziluo roared and spat out a mouthful of blood towards the Golden Rhino Sword.
The Golden Rhino Sword suddenly burst into an incomparably dazzling golden light.
In the golden light, there was a faint shadow of a man wearing a royal crown, as majestic as a mountain, looking down on the world, as if heaven and earth were to submit to him. It was indescribable how arrogant and majestic he was.
The man held a huge sword in his hand, stepped forward into the air, raised the sword and swung it down at the compound black fog.
The black fog rolled back to both sides again.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling ran out again quickly.
"Looking for death!" Seeing this, the underworld messenger who had just blocked Jian Bailou's sword light shouted angrily, and swung his scimitar violently, breaking the sword light from Jian Bailou into pieces. Then a black gas rolled up from his body, and he chased after Qin Ziling with the scimitar like a whirlwind.
Seeing this, Feng Ziluo spat out another mouthful of blood, and his true energy surged out. The shadow of the sword-wielding man in the void suddenly turned around and rushed towards the underworld messenger who was chasing Qin Ziling with the sword.
"Get out!" the underworld messenger shouted coldly.
The scimitar slashed forward fiercely.
"Boom!"
The shadow of the man holding the sword, along with his sword, turned into golden light and dispersed, revealing a dim golden rhino sword. Feng Ziluo let out a low sound from his throat, blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face was as white as gold paper, and wisps of black air escaped from his face, like the tentacles of a devil.
Feng Ziluo's eyes were filled with madness, and he pointed his hand towards the Golden Rhino Sword.
The Golden Rhino Sword glowed with golden light again and turned into a rainbow before rushing towards the Dark Envoy.
But in the blink of an eye, the underworld messenger had disappeared into the mist and disappeared along with Qin Ziling.
The Golden Rhino Sword fell into the mist and it was just like a sword slashing into water. It only made a small hole for a short time before the golden light was swallowed by the black mist and no longer had its previous power.
"Friend Jian, Sect Master Feng, don't dream that the kid just now can escape! Our Palace Master has waited for this day for twenty-one years, how could he allow the news to leak out?" A Hades Messenger sneered with disdain as he teamed up with another Hades Messenger to fight with Jian Bailou's flying sword in the air.
As for Feng Ziluo, neither of them paid any attention to him.
Fengzi Luoruo is still in the peak state he was twenty-one years ago, so they dare not underestimate him too much.
But Feng Ziluo was already injured, and his strength was greatly reduced. Just now, in order to help Qin Ziling escape, he did not hesitate to spit out blood and essence, and consumed a lot of true energy to perform the "Po Jun Sha". Now his real strength is probably not even 30% of his peak period.
The three people who came with them this time were all great Qi Refiners in the late Zhen Yuan stage. There was also mist and miasma covering the surroundings. At this moment, Feng Ziluo was already a trapped turtle, so how could they take him seriously?
The real focus is still on Jian Bailou.
Jian Bailou's strength is close to that of a master. Even though his strength has been greatly reduced after the Mother-Child Demon Seal was activated, the two Hades Envoys did not dare to be careless.
Jian Bailou had no expression on his face, he just urged his flying sword to fight with the two men.
Seeing that he was a step too late and could not stop the dark messenger any longer, Feng Ziluo turned the Golden Rhino Sword around and turned it into a golden rainbow and rushed towards the sword and knife that were strangling him.
While the four were fighting in the space shrouded by dark mist and miasma, another underworld messenger had already chased out of the dark mist and miasma.
The underworld messenger had just chased out of the mist and miasma when he saw a demon in the darkness holding a trident, whistling and stabbing at him fiercely.
"This is..." The Hades' heart was greatly shocked when he saw this, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, this Hades envoy is, after all, a great Qi-refining master in the late Zhen Yuan stage, and his reactions are extremely fast.
With a flick of his finger, a drop of blood fell accurately onto the scimitar.
The scimitar flashed with blood and whistled as it slashed the demon in the darkness.
The demon is a body of spirit and soul, and weapons can only cut it apart, but it is difficult to cause substantial damage. However, the essence and blood of a great Qi refiner in the late Zhenyuan stage, combined with the power of Zhenyuan that penetrates the blade, can cause substantial damage to the demon.
Just as the scimitar was about to slash at the demon, rolling clouds and mist swept towards the underworld messenger. In the rolling clouds and mist, there were spots of cold light and the sound of breaking through the air, and it came like lightning to kill.
Upon seeing this, the underworld messenger raised his hand and made a magic seal, then attacked the rolling clouds from a distance.
Suddenly, a hideous ghost head appeared in the darkness.
The ghost opened his mouth, his teeth were sharp and each one was like a sword.
As soon as the ghost head opened his mouth, the rolling clouds and mist were sucked in, and the Water Cloud Swords were also sucked in.
The ghost's mouth closed.
"Crack! Crack!" The Shuiyun swords were like ice cubes being bitten by iron teeth, making a sharp breaking sound.
At this moment, the Hades suddenly felt his scalp tingling and every hair on his body stood up.
He looked up suddenly.
Under the night sky, a thick cloud of fog appeared without my knowing when.
A giant claw flashing with silver light stretched out from the clouds, spewing out extremely cold and sharp claw force, and fell down on his head.
"Silver corpse!" The face of the Hades behind the mask changed again, and the shock in his eyes became even stronger. He could not even imagine what he saw.
However, even at this time, the Hades Messenger was still fearless. The true energy in his body rushed out and formed a black ghost claw on the top of his head, facing the sharp claws of the four heads.
While the Dark Envoy was trying to do three things at once, fighting against An Tian, the Four Heads, and the Water Cloud Sword Formation released by Qin Ziling, Qin Ziling, who was riding on the backs of the Four Heads and hidden in the clouds under the Xuantian Cloud Flag, finally jumped down.
Holding the Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand, the veins and muscles in his arms bulged like pythons entwined together, and he exuded an incomparably terrifying and powerful aura.
When the underworld messenger saw a man suddenly jump out of the clouds, with a powerful and vast aura like that of a demon, he finally became confused and his body changed strangely in the dark night, and he flew towards the mist behind him like a ghost in the night.
However, just as the Hades Messenger's body had just undergone strange changes and blended into the night, flying like a ghost, Qin Ziling's body also changed in the air, like a nimble dragon, following some very mysterious mechanical trajectory, still flying down over the Hades Messenger's head at a terrifying speed.
The jet-black Sky-Splitting Blade emitted a long, cold light under the night sky and slashed downwards.
Balls of black gas rolled out from the body of the Hades Messenger, then rapidly swirled around him, forming a pitch-black true energy shield.
"Dang!" The Sky-Splitting Sword fell down, and the Zhenyuan Barrier sank deeply into it, but soon it bounced the Sky-Splitting Sword back.
"The great Qi Refining Master in the late Zhenyuan stage is truly powerful!" Qin Ziling secretly admired in his heart, but the Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand did not stop. It bounced to a high place and then slashed down again.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The Sky-Splitting Sword kept falling like a violent storm. The three forces of cold iron, overlapping waves and blue dragon and mysterious wood intertwined together and penetrated into the body of the Hades Messenger along the True Yuan Shield.
The Hades Envoy was caught off guard by Qin Ziling due to his carelessness and miscalculation. Now he could only hastily circulate his true energy to set up a shield to resist. However, he never expected that each of Qin Ziling's sword strikes was not only as powerful as that of a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, but also carried three kinds of strength.
The three kinds of forces were intertwined together. Even though the Dark Envoy was a great Qi Refiner in the late True Essence realm, the Qi, blood and meridians in his body were stirred upside down, and he had resolve them.
Just when the Hades Envoy thought that this should be all Qin Ziling's trump cards, and in this critical situation, he was suppressing the three kinds of power that were penetrating his body and wanted to use his secret method, four giant silver fists suddenly appeared under the cover of night and smashed down on the Zhenyuan Gangzhai.
"There are two more silver corpses!"
The dark messenger's eyes showed fear.
How could masters tolerate so many careless mistakes when fighting?
The Hades' miscalculation once again became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Crack! Crack!" Cracks appeared on the Zhenyuan shield.
Then Qin Ziling chopped down with a knife.
The underworld split the whole person into two halves from the head down.
The body of the Hades's messenger was split into two halves, and soon a soul flew out of his body. It was much stronger than Long Xiaotian's soul, and had reached the level of driving away objects.
As soon as the soul of the Hades left his body, he stirred up a gust of cold wind and tried to escape.
However, before the soul of the Hades messenger could escape, the center of Qin Ziling's eyebrows seemed to open an eye, and a huge golden hand that only the soul could see stretched out from the center of Qin Ziling's eyebrows and grabbed the soul of the Hades messenger.
"You!" The soul of the Hades screamed in horror.
Qin Ziling didn't waste any words with the Hades Messenger and violently pinched his soul.
The soul suddenly exploded and turned into wisps of residual souls flying everywhere.
The Dark Sky Demon God suddenly opened his mouth and sucked, and the wisps of residual souls were sucked away by a gust of cold wind and fell into the mouth of Dark Sky.
An Tian was chewing as if he was tasting some delicacy.
While An Tian was devouring the soul of the Hades Messenger, Qin Ziling had already skillfully taken off the Hades Messenger's storage ring and mask, and put his body and four heads into the corpse-raising ring, and quickly put away the Hades Blood Soul Refining Banner.
Then, Qin Ziling turned his head and looked behind him.
In the distance, several auras were approaching rapidly.
Obviously, the noise of the fight just now has alarmed some people.
"Fortunately, the battle ended quickly. Next time I can't use the Silver Corpse and the Nether Blood Soul Refining Banner!" Qin Ziling thought to himself as he put the mask on his face and then dived into the black fog.
Qin Ziling had just turned into the black fog when the rolling black fog wrapped around him.
In the rolling black fog, there were all kinds of hideous phantoms of poisonous insects and snakes, with fangs and claws bared, rushing towards him in an overwhelming manner.
Qin Ziling released three kinds of strength, which lingered around his body, and a golden light invisible to the naked eye shot out from between his eyebrows.
The three forces combined, and the black fog could not get close to Qin Ziling's body at all. The shadows of various hideous poisonous creatures melted away like snow when they touched the golden light.
But in the blink of an eye, Qin Ziling was already behind the two underworld messengers.
His soul visualized the "Gods and Demons of Eternal Night", and traces of dark, evil, devouring aura emanated from Qin Ziling. At the same time, Qin Ziling also deliberately mobilized some evil aura.
At this moment, in the mist, Qin Ziling, wearing a hideous mask, looked like a messenger from the underworld.
How could the two Hades messengers have expected that a great Qi Refiner in the late Zhenyuan realm would be defeated by , not to mention that it happened in such a short period of time.
"You're finally here, but you're a little slow!" A ghost messenger said to Qin Ziling who was about to walk out of the mist without turning his head.
"It's indeed a bit slow. This old man Jian is really powerful. No wonder he is called the number one person below the Fayuan realm. Even the mother and child magic seals have been activated, but he is still so powerful. We must work together as three people to suppress him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if time is delayed, accidents are inevitable." said another underworld messenger.
As soon as the underworld messenger finished his words, mist suddenly rolled up, and a sharp blade emitting bits of black cold light came down from the air and chopped down at his back.
The knife fell as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.
The space seemed to be split open and was in constant turmoil.
Because of this knife, Qin Ziling finally activated the pattern on his chest.
Once the power of the pattern explodes, its aura is astonishing and will last for a period of time. It cannot be retracted immediately.
Qin Ziling still had to sneak back to assassinate the underworld messenger, so the power of the pattern he used just now was useless.
Jian Bailou's strength was astonishing. The two Hades' messengers were trying their best to deal with Jian Bailou. They never expected that their companion would suddenly stab them in the back, and the power of this knife was so terrifying.
"Ah!" The underworld messenger only had time to let out a scream before he was beheaded by the Sky-Splitting Sword.
The world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
"You're right. Over time, accidents are likely to happen!" Qin Ziling deftly took off the storage ring from the hand of the Hades Envoy, and with a wave of his hand, he generously collected his body in front of Jian Bailou's master and disciple.
For a person as powerful as him, it is not something to be surprised about that he has a storage treasure with a larger space.
Moreover, the Sky-Splitting Sword has already been taken out, and with Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo's intelligence, it is impossible for them not to guess it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo's performance just now has completely won his trust and respect.
