Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 341 - 324: Repelling the Evil Cultivator
Indeed!
On the other side, Pei Hong, who had originally been entangled with the undead, was the first to notice something unusual about Qin Qing’s situation.
"Ninth Highness!"
Pei Hong shouted to Qin Ren.
Qin Ren immediately understood Pei Hong’s intention, and both of them looked over towards Qin Qing.
They saw Qin Qing constantly wielding the Azure Dragon Spear, while around him, a group of spectral beings roamed and circled, sometimes lunging at Qin Qing to bite him.
In their midst, Qin Qing seemed unable to see clearly which direction to take...
"This is bad. Qin Qing is probably trapped by a formation!"
Qin Ren whispered, "Pei Hong, let’s charge over and deal with that evil cultivator. We need to buy Qin Qing time to break the formation."
Pei Hong nodded.
At once, the two of them made their move towards the elderly evil cultivator...
Meanwhile, in Qin Qing’s hands, formation flags began to appear.
"Set up a formation!"
"Break the formation!"
Qin Qing carefully recalled the process by which the elderly evil cultivator had activated the formation, remembering the positions where he had placed the flags.
Soon...
In Qin Qing’s hands, the flags flew out one by one.
Seeing this, the evil cultivator was even more surprised.
He had not at all expected that this young man was also a Spiritual Pattern Master, and moreover, proficient in the art of Spiritual Arrays.
By this time, Pei Hong and Qin Ren had already charged at him.
The evil cultivator had previously observed Pei Hong and Qin Ren, knowing that their strengths were far inferior to Qin Qing’s.
Therefore, his main priority was still to kill Qin Qing.
As long as Qin Qing was taken care of, there would be no more future problems!
But...
Clearly, Pei Hong and Qin Ren’s strengths were not trivial enough for the evil cultivator to simply ignore, especially inside the Life Forbidden Zone.
Because of his cultivation level and age, the evil cultivator’s strength was greatly suppressed.
He wanted to use the advantage of the formation to find an opportunity to kill Qin Qing, but each time he thought he had a chance, it was ruined by the other two young men!
So... the evil cultivator’s attack on Qin Qing also slowed down a lot because of this.
Within the formation, Qin Qing was setting up the array as quickly as possible, all the while dodging the evil cultivator’s attacks.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Qing had sustained two more wounds on his body.
One of his thighs was pierced by the White Bone Sword, and his back was viciously slashed open with a gash over a foot long; the evil cultivator’s skull stamp pressed down on Qin Qing once again, and it was fortunate that he had a Spirit Talisman to protect his body, or else Qin Qing might have directly lost his combat effectiveness.
Fortunately...
When Qin Qing threw out the seventy-third formation flag, the surrounding black world was suddenly torn open by a rip, allowing white light to shine through.
Although Heifeng Valley was also shrouded in darkness, compared to within the formation, it was much brighter.
Seeing the light, Qin Qing knew that he was not far from breaking the formation!
"I’m lucky to have these formation flags given to me by Miss Hongxue... otherwise, I would have had no way to break this formation!"
From the might of this formation, it was evident that it was definitely a Fourth Rank Spiritual Array.
Moreover, it was a combined-type formation!
Without formation flags, trying to break the formation with brute force would be utterly impossible...
At this moment, the evil cultivator was increasingly horrified.
Qin Qing couldn’t see him, but he could see every move Qin Qing made clearly.
Qin Qing was trapped in the formation, and yet, he was still able to break it while continuously dodging attacks, thoroughly shocking the evil cultivator.
"So young, and yet so powerful. And he is also a master of formations..."
"What kind of monster is he?"
"This time, if I really can’t take the Fruit of Life with me, then I’ll just have to accept defeat!"
...
"Boom!"
Just at that moment.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded.
Spiritual Power surged like waves, as countless Spiritual Patterns rippled out like water.
Qin Qing wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and glared coldly at the evil cultivator elder!
The formation was finally broken!
"Ninth Highness, Brother Pei!" Qin Qing looked over at Pei Hong and Qin Ren.
While Qin Qing had been trapped in the formation, these two must have been fully restraining the evil cultivator elder.
Otherwise, Qin Qing would have truly perished in the elder’s formation.
However, since the formation was now broken, it was time to strike back!
"Boom!"
Qin Qing leapt up and slammed down his spear from the sky.
"Mountain Splitting Sky!"
The raging power was like a mountain bearing down.
The elder’s White Bone Sword shook violently, his knees trembled, and he almost fell to his knees. At the corner of his mouth, a trace of blood seeped out...
Activating the formation had already weakened the elder’s frail body even further; now, facing Qin Qing’s fierce assault, he was powerless to resist.
"Cough cough..."
The elder’s eyes were filled with shock as he staggered backward, coughing repeatedly.
"Damn it!"
Outrage shone in the elder’s eyes.
"Curse it, if only I hadn’t been lurking here for so long, suppressed by the Tree of Life, and wounded from the battle with the Thunderhawk, how could this youngster have gotten the better of me?"
The elder felt indignant, suffocated by the situation. He was clearly far stronger than this young man, yet he felt incapable of exerting his strength.
Meanwhile, Qin Qing’s attack was imminent once again.
Having gained the upper hand, he couldn’t afford to give his opponent any chance to breathe.
Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear swung and chopped continuously, one thrust after another, barely giving the elder a moment’s respite.
"Sky-splitting Step Technique!"
Qin Qing’s steps enacted the Sky-splitting Step Technique, his figure illusion-like, as iridescent stairs formed under his feet, and the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand lunged at the elder once more.
The elder felt increasingly overwhelmed. With a wave of his hand, a black talisman flew out.
From the black talisman, countless resentful spirits flew out, biting at Qin Qing.
"Be gone!"
Qin Qing shouted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, an azure Flying Sword pierced out.
"Whoosh!"
The azure brilliance of the sword swept out like blazing flames, annihilating all the resentful spirits that had emerged from the talisman.
In the next instant, the Flying Sword pierced through the elder’s shoulder, exiting from his back and bringing forth a burst of black blood.
"Ugh..."
The elder’s expression changed dramatically, and he was flung backwards.
Now looking at Qin Qing, his eyes were filled with deep wariness.
"So young, no wonder the suppression from the Forbidden Zone is so weak. Who could have imagined such a genius emerging from the small nation of Qian Country?"
The evil cultivator elder murmured, shaking his head with deep regret.
He glanced once more at the three Fruits of Life on the nearby Tree of Life.
"Damn!"
He roared, "For these three Fruits of Life, I have plotted for a full ten years, lying in wait here for three years. I expended countless efforts, only for you to ruin it all!"
His gaze fixed on Qin Qing, as if he wished he could consume Qin Qing whole.
"Boy, I’ll remember you!"
"Sooner or later, I will turn you into a puppet to vent the hatred in my heart!" the evil cultivator elder gritted out. Then, he turned and flew away, becoming a wisp of black mist, shooting towards the sky in an instant...
"It seems... I’ve buried another seed of disaster," Qin Qing said with a helpless smile, immediately turning his gaze to the three Fruits of Life.
At that moment, several undead rushed towards the Fruits of Life, attempting to pluck them.
Qin Qing dashed forward with an explosive step, sweeping his Azure Dragon Spear and directly obliterating the three undead.
Then Qin Qing leapt up and plucked all three Fruits of Life.
With the Fruits of Life in hand, the fragrant scent was even more intoxicating. Qin Qing felt as if at this moment his body was immersed in a clear spring, indescribably comfortable.
"Brother Pei, Ninth Highness, let’s go!" Qin Qing called out loudly.
