Chapter 28: Conflict
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Ming had already seen the person clearly. It was a handsome man and he did not sense any demon energy from the other party. However, the hidden demon cultivator was good at hiding, so he could not judge based on demon energy alone.
Still, there were indeed no demon beasts following him.
There was a high chance that they were from the same sect.
“It’s indeed here.”
The handsome man stopped in his tracks and took out a map to observe for a while. He muttered softly and took back the map in his hand. He then formed a seal with both hands. It was the Heavenly Chief Seal that had triggered the array formation of the forest of inheritance.
The seal formed by the Heavenly Chief Seal fused into the void. After activating the array formation, the inheritance forest appeared in front of the handsome man.
“There really is an inheritance forest!”
He could not help but look overjoyed.
However, in the next moment, he noticed Qi Ming, who was leaning against the tree trunk.
Qi Ming lowered his head and looked at this handsome man. A smile appeared on his face. It was the smile of a predator looking at its prey.
“Who are you?”
This handsome man frowned slightly and stared coldly at Qi Ming. He had already taken out a talisman treasure from the inferior-grade storage bag. It was a pair of green ‘lotus bracelets’ that he wore on his wrists.
He circulated his spirit energy in his body.
Moreover… historical
He was already holding several talismans in his hand.
Most of them were disposable consumables.
For example: Fireball Talisman, Ice Blade Talisman, and so on.
Of course, there were also defensive Vajra Talismans.
“You want to enter the inheritance forest?” Qi Ming asked.
“So what if I am? So what if I’m not?”
The handsome man said, “Who exactly are you? Which peak’s disciple are you from? Please state your name. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Green Cloud Peak, Cao Yunhai.” Qi Ming said.
“Cao Yunhai?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe handsome man pondered as if he was thinking about the truth of Qi Ming’s words.
Jiang Shicheng, who was standing behind Qi Ming, was stunned for a moment. He had heard of Cao Yunhai and knew what he looked like, ‘Cao Yunhai doesn’t look like this. Why did Senior Brother lie?’
Of course.
Jiang Shicheng did not dare to say anything and could only maintain his silence.
“He’s not Cao Yunhai.”
At this moment, another man arrived. This man wore a green robe and held a silver spear in his hand as he walked over quickly. He looked at Qi Ming and said, “He is indeed a servant disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, but his name is Qi Ming.”
“Am I right?”
The green-robed man smiled as he looked at Qi Ming, “Junior Brother Qi Ming.”
After Jiang Shicheng recovered from his shock, he immediately said to Qi Ming loudly, “Senior Brother, I know both of them.”
“That handsome man is called Xu Ye. He’s from the Numinous Sky Peak and is the strongest among the ten servant disciples of the Numinous Sky Peak. He’s already at the late-stage fifth level Qi Refinement realm.”
“The other green-robed man with a spear is from the Golden Root Peak. He’s also the strongest amongst the ten servant disciples of the Golden Root Peak. He’s at the late-stage of the fifth level of Qi Refinement, and his full name is Yang Yu.”
“You know quite a bit.” Qi Ming looked at Jiang Shicheng in surprise.
“Senior Brother, you’re flattering me.”
Jiang Shicheng said, “This is because before I came to participate in the competition, I specially inquired about the situation of the other eleven peaks, especially the strongest few. I obtained a lot of information.”
“Not bad.” Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction. This underling was not useless after all.
Yang Yu glanced at Jiang Shicheng. After frowning slightly, he no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he stopped looking at Qi Ming and asked, “Qi Ming, do you know why I know you?”
“Tell me about it.” Qi Ming said.
“When you were at the Green Cloud Peak, did you cripple one of Cao Yunhai’s arms?” Yang Yu asked.
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded.
At this moment, Qi Ming basically understood.
It was probably the revenge of the elder brother of Cao Yunhai.
“It seems that you’ve already guessed it.”
Yang Yu smiled. “Cao Yunhai has a blood-related brother in the outer sect of the Green Cloud Peak. His name is Cao Jinxiu. He is about to be promoted to the inner sect.”
“Cao Jinxiu has a good friend, Han Xu, who is also about to advance to the inner sect. Cao Jinxiu asked Han Xu for help. After Han Xu agreed, he found me and asked me to plot against you during the Outer Sect Assessment. It’s best if I directly cripple you or find an opportunity to kill you.”
“I accepted Han Xu’s benefits, so I naturally have to help.”
“You know the situation quite clearly.” Qi Ming said.
Yang Yu shrugged. “No matter what, since you can defeat Cao Yunhai, your strength is definitely not weak.”
“Also, I had to find out the details of this matter before I dared to accept the task.”
“Otherwise, if we accidentally provoke someone we shouldn’t, we’ll be in trouble.”
“I have to be careful.”
“So in your eyes, I’m someone you can provoke?” Qi Ming asked.
“Yes.” Yang Yu nodded and said very firmly, “Firstly, you don’t have a background, secondly, you don’t have immense strength, and thirdly, you don’t have any monstrous talent. You’re only about the same as us. Moreover, you’ve offended a Foundation Establishment disciple who’s about to advance to the inner sect.”
“Under such circumstances, what else do you think we have to worry about?”
“What you said is indeed very reasonable!” Qi Ming could not help but want to laugh at this evaluation.
Xu Ye pondered for a moment before taking a few steps back and saying, “I don’t want to interfere in your matters. The inheritance forest won’t disappear. After you guys are done fighting, I’ll enter the inheritance forest.”
Rustle…
In the surroundings, during the conversation just now, many servant disciples arrived. Because the array formation had not disappeared, the inheritance forest was still visible. At this moment, all the servant disciples saw the inheritance forest.
Coupled with the rumors regarding the Heavenly Chief Inheritance recently, for a moment, the eyes of these servant disciples revealed burning gazes.
“Is this the inheritance forest?”
“Is the rumor of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance actually true?”
“I really didn’t expect this.”
They were discussing it intensely.
“Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?”
Jiang Shicheng’s scalp turned numb. He looked at the 23 servant disciples who had arrived in a short period of time. “This is troublesome. No matter how strong Senior Brother Qi is, if all these people rush over, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with them.”
“Senior Brother Qi.”
In the crowd, Qiao Yuxian, Tang Bing, and Xiao Fan were walking together. When they saw Qi Ming, Qiao Yuxian’s beautiful eyes waved at him and shouted loudly.
Qi Ming looked at them and nodded in response.
“Senior Brother Qi seems to be in trouble?” Tang Bing asked.
“I think so.” Xiao Fan nodded. “Let’s see if we can help later.”
Qiao Yuxian and Tang Bing nodded.
“Huff…”
Yang Yu took a deep breath, and his expression calmed down as he said, “I never expected that the other servant disciples would arrive so quickly. I have to deal with you as soon as possible so that I can go explore the inheritance forest.”
“I don’t want to delay the important matters.”
“Flying Dragon Spear.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSwish!
With the spear in hand, Yang Yu took the lead to attack Qi Ming. His speed was as fast as lightning. When the spear stabbed out, it was like a dragon emerging from the sea, swift and powerful.
Clang!
Qi Ming raised his sword and easily blocked Yang Yu’s spear. The sharp spear light was easily defeated by Qi Ming’s sword qi, and there was a rather obvious difference.
“This…”
Yang Yu’s expression was slightly shocked. It was only an initial exchange, but he had already determined Qi Ming’s cultivation through the strength of Qi Ming’s spirit energy. He shouted, “Sixth level of Qi Refinement!”
“You’re already at the sixth level Qi Refinement realm!”
As soon as they finished speaking, without any hesitation, Yang Yu did not even listen to Qi Ming’s answer. Instead, after saying that, he turned around and fled behind him without any intention of fighting.
Although it was very dangerous to have his back facing the enemy, he would definitely die if he continued fighting.
Yang Yu’s movement technique was very fast, and he walked like a swimming dragon. This was the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique, and it had already reached the level of Outstanding.
“Nine Spirit Illusion Steps.”
Qi Ming quickly chased after him and stabbed out with his sword. He executed the Green Cloud Sword Technique, and the sword qi he slashed out contained a strand of Green Cloud Sword Intent, causing Yang Yu’s expression to be ghastly pale.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
Yang Yu was horrified, “How can he be at the sixth level of Qi Refinement!”
“Flying Dragon Spear Technique.”
Roar!
Yang Yu dealt with it with all his might. His Flying Dragon Spear Technique had actually been cultivated to the Perfection realm. It contained a trace of Flying Dragon Spear Intent, so when he stabbed out, there was a low dragon roar.
Boom!
The sword qi slashed down and shattered the spear light. The dragon roar dissipated.
“Ah!!!”
Yang Yu let out a miserable cry as his body was sent flying. The aftershock of Qi Ming’s sword strike landed on Yang Yu’s body, and his clothes exploded, revealing the protective inner armor, Golden Scale Armor.
Taking this opportunity, Qi Ming had already charged over. The Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword slashed at Yang Yu’s head without any hesitation.
“Die!”
Yang Yu’s gaze was vicious as he roared furiously. He raised his hands, and a pair of one-time-use talisman treasure, Poison Bag Sleeves Arrow, was hidden in his sleeve.
This was a hidden weapon.
Of course, it was also extremely powerful.
It could destroy the spirit energy defense of those below the seventh level Qi Refinement realm.
Coupled with the fact that it was an attack at close range, it was difficult to dodge. He could only face it head-on. The sleeve arrows that contained poison attacked Qi Ming’s head and heart.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Qi Ming did not panic in the face of danger. The Green Cloud Sword Technique directly transformed into the Wind Manipulation Sword Art. The sword moves were agile and swift, as if they were moving in the wind.. A dazzling sword shadow appeared, and all the sleeve arrows were blocked.
