Elder Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Name your price, how can I be allowed to leave."
He had seriously blundered this time.
Had he known that the opponent had called upon a great expert of Internal Martial Arts, Elder Bai would definitely not have come down from the mountain.
Moreover, that Xu Qing and the contemptible maid could actually invite such an expert was beyond his anticipation.
Such a figure should either be enjoying high honor in some major power, or be carefree in the worldly society.
He was just too unlucky!
Honestly, with the Peach Wood Sword in hand, even facing three or five Dark Strength experts, he could come and go at ease; it was just that the opponent turned out to be an Internal Martial Artist of Spirit and Body Integration.
Under the pressure of Qi-Blood, if the Peach Wood Sword were an ordinary Magic Artifact, it would have been shattered in their initial encounter.
Upon hearing Elder Bai’s words, King Lin glanced at Xu Qing, but his focus remained intently on every move of Elder Bai.
Elder Bai knew his energy was locked by King Lin and dared not make any sudden movements.
Xu Qing spoke indifferently: "I cannot let you go."
After finishing his words, the light of the knife in his hand flashed.
As the Sword Qi tore through the air, a muffled thunder rolled over.
Elder Bai was shocked.
Then, he realized that if it were really the Thunder Skill, he probably wouldn’t even be able to think.
However, thunder was ultimately the most feared sound to those who cultivated the Divine Soul. In that moment of distraction, Xu Qing unleashed the tremendously powerful move "Dominating the Mountains" of the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber.
Elder Bai reacted and used the Flying Sword to block.
This Peach Wood Sword, truly a Holy Artifact of the Lotus Sect, managed to staunchly block Xu Qing’s Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber under the enhancement of the Great Success of Exorcism by Elder Bai’s Divine Soul.
The rebound force cracked Xu Qing’s tiger’s mouth,
But Xu Qing was not fighting alone.
The Flying Sword could block Xu Qing’s saber, but it couldn’t block King Lin’s fist.
Although King Lin felt that winning through superiority in numbers was not noble, considering the great benefits Xu Qing had provided, it wasn’t a time to be concerned about reputation.
He gathered his spirits and let out a bellow like a bull.
It was a technique of "energy" called "Bull Demon Howling Moon," utilizing the breath of a bull-bellow to harness the heart’s power, explode with Qi-Blood, and subsequently stimulate his own potential, significantly increasing strength in an instant.
If he hadn’t been an Internal Martial Artist capable of healing internal hidden injuries, he would not have been willing to use this move.
Elder Bai blocked Xu Qing’s Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber and then retreated, but couldn’t muster enough strength. Meanwhile, King Lin was powering up for a heavy strike.
With one gaining as the other waned.
Even the Peach Wood Sword couldn’t block King Lin’s ferocious punch.
Directly knocked flying.
At the same time, the remaining force of the punch landed on Elder Bai.
Elder Bai’s Martial Arts were only at the level of Bone Training, able to release Dark Strength under well-prepared conditions, still inferior to the Sect Leader of Eagle Claw Sect, how could he withstand King Lin’s this world’s Bull Demon’s powered punch.
Immediately sent flying, he crashed into a nearby mud wall, his body embedding into it.
Striking someone like hanging a painting!
Xu Qing had only heard of such things before, but now he had seen it.
Xu Qing stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and then plunged the knife directly into the opponent’s heart.
This was a Divine Soul Expert of the Great Success of Exorcism, even if captured alive, it couldn’t guarantee the opponent didn’t have other mysterious Dao Skills. It wasn’t worth the risk of probing his secrets.
After all, King Lin couldn’t always be by Xu Qing’s side.
"Impossible." As Xu Qing plunged the knife into Elder Bai’s heart, this Great Elder of the Lotus Sect, still couldn’t believe that he, a Dao Skill expert of the Great Success of Exorcism, could be bodily breached and killed on the spot.
He stared fixedly at Xu Qing, his body quickly transitioning from a youthful appearance to full of wrinkles, resembling a shriveled old tree root.
Then, his eyes closed, and he stopped breathing.
A gust of ghostly wind blew out of his shell, heading towards Xu Qing.
But Xu Qing, knowing he was facing an expert of the Great Success of Exorcism, was prepared.
After stabbing Elder Bai, Xu Qing immediately let go of his knife and retreated behind King Lin.
Even though Elder Bai’s dying counterattack was extremely swift, it was still a moment too slow.
King Lin stood in front of his good brother, his Qi-Blood erupted, and the fierce masculine energy, akin to the blazing sun, melted away the remaining Ghost of Elder Bai.
Xu Qing, worried that there might be remnants of the Divine Soul, once again summoned the Yaksha King, eradicating the remaining Divine Soul thoughts.
He knew, if not for King Lin there first breaking the opponent’s Flying Sword, with his current strength, it would have been absolutely impossible to handle this expert of Great Success of Exorcism alone.
King Lin laughed heartily, grabbing Elder Bai’s corpse with one hand and the Peach Wood Sword with the other, he leaped away.
There was a noticeable commotion here, and soon people from nearby came to investigate.
Naturally, Xu Qing and King Lin had no reason to stay.
They moved to a secluded alley.
King Lin threw Elder Bai’s corpse carelessly on the ground, holding the Peach Wood Sword up to the moonlight, carefully examining it, his expression somewhat conflicted.
If he were a Divine Soul Expert, this Peach Wood Sword would be extremely useful.
Moreover, this sword, being a Holy Artifact of the Lotus Sect, falling into his hands, even if the Lotus Sect didn’t come looking for him, the Luo Sect would.
Being a part of the worldly society and not a loner, he was somewhat wary of a major power like the Luo Sect.
"Brother, give me this Peach Wood Sword, and I will add some extra money," Xu Qing was very straightforward.
There was no need to play the sentiment card at this time.
Or rather, money is the biggest sentiment.
King Lin said somewhat embarrassingly: "It was agreed that this time I was helping you..."
Xu Qing: "Brother has already helped me eliminate this man, as for the things he left behind, they naturally come at another price."
