Chapter 273: Skilled and Courageous
"Elder Zhang, haven't you heard the saying that a skilled person is daring?" Qin Ziling asked back calmly.
"Haha!" Elder Zhang laughed out loud as if he had heard a great joke. He stopped laughing after a while and said, "Could it be that you have recovered your cultivation? Even if you have, what does it matter? Do you think you can still escape today?"
"Why should I run away? If anyone should run away, it should be you! Of course, as the leader of Qingsong Sect, even if you are seriously injured, you will definitely not disdain to run away in front of a junior!" Qin Ziling said with a hint of sarcasm when he heard it.
Elder Zhang and the other three suddenly changed their expressions when they heard this.
Qingsong in the carriage also changed his expression slightly, and then he did not move. A gust of wind rose out of nowhere, like an invisible hand that lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"It seems that we underestimated you!" Qingsong sat in the carriage, looked at Qin Ziling through the opened curtain, and said lightly.
"After all, you, Qingsong, are the leader of a famous and upright sect. Even if you do some despicable things, you are different from those inhumane people in the evil sect. I don't want to kill you for no reason." Qin Ziling said.
“Bold!”
"presumptuous!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhang and the other two all looked ferocious and shouted loudly. A cold light flashed in front of them, and a magic weapon floated in front of them. The Dharma Protector Qian also drew his sword and pointed at Qin Ziling from a distance, with the sword light flickering.
Only Qingsong was still sitting in the carriage, without any movement, but his face was quite gloomy and he exuded a strong murderous intent.
"You should be the brave ones!" Qin Ziling smiled coldly.
Before Qin Ziling finished his words, the valley, which had been filled with the sun hanging high in the sky, suddenly became dark.
The sun above the valley disappeared, replaced by a vast galaxy of stars.
Meteors burning with sparks streaked through the sky and rushed towards the earth.
The stars fell and the world ended.
This vision happened suddenly, as if it were real.
The clouded leopard horse pulling the cart suddenly fell to its knees, trembling.
Elder Zhang and the other two all looked up at the sky with expressions of fear in their eyes.
Even the green pine trees were slightly affected.
"not good!"
Qingsong was a master after all, and he broke free from the vision in just a moment.
The darkness and the falling stars in front of him disappeared in an instant, and what remained in sight was the carriage. Outside the opened curtain, a clouded leopard horse was standing alone dozens of meters away, and Qin Ziling was no longer on it.
"Not good!" Qingsong felt a warning in his heart again and was about to release his flying sword.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The entire carriage exploded instantly.
Then Qingsong saw four huge golden fists shining with golden light bombarding him. The golden fists whistled and tore through the air. The friction caused by the terrifying speed made the surface of the golden fists burn with golden flames.
But the oncoming fist wind was not hot, but extremely cold.
Not only that, Qingsong also felt a terrifying, sharp and cold breath coming straight down from the sky above him.
"Golden Corpse! Spare my life!" Qingsong's face turned pale and his eyes were filled with panic. There was no trace of the master's demeanor left.
He was seriously injured and had not yet recovered. His cultivation was only halfway left at most. How could he be a match for the three golden corpses who were besieging him at close range?
"Too late!" A cold voice sounded between heaven and earth.
Then four golden fists hit the magic shield that Qingsong suddenly launched.
The entire magic barrier was sunken, and it was covered with spider-web-like patterns.
At this moment, sharp claws fell from above his head.
The magic barrier finally exploded like a balloon being punctured.
"Swish!"
The sharp claws pierced directly into Qingsong's skull.
Qingsong widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the scarred man who appeared in front of him, holding an elder's neck with one hand.
"I've already told you that we should all go our separate ways, but you insisted. Is this the result you want to see? To be honest, you would have died once in the operation in Jiugao County if I hadn't intervened! You are repaying kindness with enmity!" Qin Ziling looked at Qingsong and said calmly.
"It's you, you killed Pu Jingyan!" Qingsong finally came to his senses before he died, his eyes full of fear, as if the scarred man in front of him was a demon from the abyss of hell.
"Hehe, I actually forgot about this matter!" Qin Ziling said with a twitching face.
"You!" Qingsong looked at Qin Ziling, who was looking embarrassed and ashamed, and slowly raised his hand to point at him, but died halfway through raising his hand.
The soul escaped from his body and was directly shattered by Qin Ziling's golden palm, and it went away with the wind.
After all, he was not a cruel demon, so Qin Ziling let him go.
"Elder Zhang, Elder Wang, now you understand what it means to be a man of great skill and courage, right?" After Qin Ziling dispersed Qingsong's soul with a golden palm, he looked at the two elders of the Biyun Sect in his hands and asked lightly.
As for the Dharma Protector Qian, his cultivation was too low and he was suppressed by Qin Ziling's Immortal Galaxy Soul-Calming Technique. Before he could even regain consciousness, he was killed by Qin Ziling's powerful sword.
The two elders of Biyun Sect were much more powerful, but when they woke up, two large hands with condensed strength had already fallen on their necks. They suddenly closed their hands like iron clamps and clamped them tightly, making them dare not move at all.
"Mercy! Mercy!" Elder Zhang and Elder Wang were so frightened when they saw that even the sect leader was killed in the blink of an eye that they begged for mercy again and again.
At this moment, Elder Zhang finally understood that Qin Ziling was just acting in the last battle in Qinghe County, and he regretted it to death.
"I also want to spare your lives! But you forced me to do it, so that's impossible. But don't worry, I'm not a demon, and I will still bury your bodies in this mountain.
The environment here is quite good, and the four of you being buried here together will be considered as having company." Qin Ziling said lightly, and then his hands suddenly burst out with strength.
The two elders of Biyun Sect tilted their heads and died.
The soul had just flown out when it was also shattered by a palm.
Watching the souls fly away like smoke, Qin Ziling shook his head and swiftly took off the storage rings on their fingers. Then he untied the reins of the cart and let the two clouded leopard horses quickly leave with their four trembling hooves.
Then, Qin Ziling waved his hand and put all the corpses and the broken carriage into the corpse-raising ring.
"drive!"
Low shouts and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the valley.
Soon, the mountains and forests became quiet and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
An hour later.
In a deep forest, beside a beautiful valley stream, Qin Ziling sat under an ancient pine tree, holding a piece of emerald green crystal stone about the size of a pigeon egg in his hand, facing the sun, quietly admiring the soft green light it emitted.
Not long ago, he found a suitable place in the mountains and buried Qingsong and the other three. Then he rode his clouded leopard horse to such a beautiful place and began to count his harvest.
The old demon Hatetian and others are all cruel members of the demon cult. Many of their things are basically only suitable for cultivating An Tian and the Four Heads.
It is not suitable for Qin Ziling to use himself or to train his subordinates.
But Qingsong and the others are different.
The Biyun Sect is one of the two major Qi-refining sects that have stood in Xiyun Province for hundreds of years. It has a profound heritage and is a famous and upright sect.
As sect leaders and elders, the things they carry with them are naturally suitable for Qin Ziling to use.
"I really didn't expect Old Man Qingsong would bring out so many good things this time. Not only are there various elixirs for improving cultivation and healing, he even brought twenty wood magic crystals with him." Qin Ziling slowly turned the emerald-like crystal in his hand, feeling its green light and the faint energy fluctuations emanating from it, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qi cultivators who have reached the realm of true power and true essence, whether attacking or defending, rely on the true power and true essence gained through hard practice. The power of heaven and earth they can mobilize is very limited, and the difference between them and warriors is not too great.
Only when one reaches the Dharma Yuan realm and builds a Dharma altar in Dantian, and the true essence is transformed through the Dharma altar, can one cultivate magic power.
Therefore, for a Qi Refining Master to cultivate magical powers it is not possible for him to immediately cultivate magical powers by simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Magic power is much more difficult to cultivate than true energy.
It is precisely because of this that the Qi Refining Master would be reluctant to expend his magic power to help refine the Huayuan Pill.
As the name suggests, the magic crystal stone is an energy stone that can be directly converted into magic power.
In this way, the Qi Refining Master can save a lot of practice time.
It can be imagined that the magic crystal stone is a very precious practice resource for the Qi Refining Master.
It is precisely because of this that the Magic Crystal Stone is the hard currency among the masters of Qi Refining.
It is said that there are several reasons for the formation of faspar.
One is that in ancient times, powerful figures of various races fought a great war, using their magical powers to turn the world upside down. Some of the magical power seeped into the earth's mineral veins and gradually formed magic crystal stones.
One is that in ancient times, a large amount of magic power was contained in the flesh and blood of the powerful people of various races after their death. A large amount of magic power gradually emanated from the place where they were buried, and merged into the earth veins and ores to form magic crystal stone veins.
Another type is formed naturally in certain special places in nature.
There must be other reasons, but Jian Bailou's knowledge and experience were very limited, and he only told Qin Ziling this much at the time.
"Biyun Sect is Biyun Sect. They even have magic crystal stones. Unlike teacher, who can't even take out a magic crystal stone." Qin Ziling, like a money-grubber, kept holding up the magic crystal stone and looking at it in the sunlight.
Qin Ziling didn't know that the Biyun Sect's foundation was just average. These twenty magic crystal stones were originally treasured by Qingsong, who was reluctant to use them. He planned to use them when he broke through to the level of a minor grandmaster. Unfortunately, in the battle in Jiugao County, not only did he fail to seize the "Wansheng Blood Pool", but he also damaged the foundation of the magic altar.
Since returning from Jiugao County, Qingsong has been trying every possible way to heal his wounds and repair the foundation of the altar, but all in vain. In desperation, he took almost all of his assets and prepared to go to the Biyun Sect's superior sect, the Tianmu Sect, to ask for a Four Symbols Replenishing Yuan Pill.
As a result, before he reached Tianmu Sect, he was killed by someone else because he wanted to kill Qin Ziling on the way, which gave Qin Ziling an advantage.
