Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Blood Evil Sect Primordial Qi Warrior vs. Upper Meridian Passage Perfection

"Prepare, prepare, let the next group in. The Blood Envoy will be staying with us for a day, everyone, be diligent."

"..."

In the shadows.

Chu Ming frowned slightly.

This group of people seems to be spreading their teachings within the Nine Hordes Kingdom...

The Blood Evil Sect’s reach has already extended into the Nine Hordes Kingdom. Their plot is enormous, definitely more than just Xirong County, or even the Great Qin Dynasty!

He didn’t alert them. The Sword Gourd Spirit locked onto the third floor of the Round Tower.

The person in the Meridian Unlocking Realm from the Blood Evil Sect was on the third floor, along with two in the late Refining Organ Realm.

On the second floor were two in the early and middle stages of the Refining Organ Realm.

In this small Round Tower, four in the Refining Organ Realm and one in the Meridian Unlocking Realm. The Blood Evil Sect has invested quite a bit.

Chu Ming’s gaze intensified, just preparing to act, when a voice came from the tower again.

"Frauds, they’re frauds. They secretly poison you, making you sick, then deceive you into coming here to believe in some deity!"

"Everyone, don’t believe them. My parents died from the poison in their blessed water!"

A young man shouted loudly.

The complexion of the crowd hoping for blessings changed unpredictably.

The person from the Blood Evil Sect, draped in a cassock, walked gently up to the young man, with a mild expression, "A symptom of madness, may the deity protect you."

Dang——

The bowl rang softly, a fierce glint flashed in the Blood Evil Sect person’s eyes as their palm lightly rested on the young man’s shoulder.

The young man, who was just shouting, suddenly had vacant eyes, standing there motionless, seemingly genuinely under divine protection, cured of madness.

"May the deity protect you."

The Blood Evil Sect person helped the young man sit down, then returned to the high seat, preparing to conduct the so-called divine blessing once more.

Seeing the young man quiet down, the faces that had changed in the crowd all turned pious one by one.

"May the deity protect you."

Everyone sat cross-legged, and the ’blessing ceremony’ began.

But at this moment, the door of the Round Tower opened, and a person walked in slowly.

Chu Ming stood quietly at the door with a calm expression.

The Blood Evil Sect members frowned and looked.

With just a glance, the dozen or so Blood Evil Sect members’ faces changed drastically.

Those eyes were terrifying!

"Divine protection, this person is abandoned by the deity, whoever can kill him, the deity will grant more blessed water!"

The man on the high seat spoke, feigning calmness, though his intertwining legs were trembling.

The crowd below, upon hearing this, all glared viciously at Chu Ming.

The first person charged out.

"Divine protection!"

A fist came crashing forward.

Chu Ming remained calm, with just a light touch, this person’s chest instantly shattered.

"Divine protection!"

Second person, third person... twenty-plus people, scenting blood, instantly rushed out like frenzied beasts, howling.

The few Blood Evil Sect members took the opportunity to flee.

Chu Ming didn’t move, a Black Blade hovered beside him.

The Black Blade turned into a rainbow.

Puff puff puff——

The first floor, more than thirty people, all died, including thirteen from the Blood Evil Sect.

"What’s going on?!"

The two in the Refining Organ Realm on the second floor heard and came down.

"You?!"

Puff! Puff!

The two in the Refining Organ Realm widened their eyes, unwillingly falling, blood and white matter flowing from thumb-sized holes in their foreheads.

Chu Ming’s eyes remained expressionless as he stepped up.

Third floor.

"What’s happening below?" The Blood Envoy Chi Hong of the Blood Evil Sect scolded coldly, "Go take a look."

"Yes."

The two in the late Refining Organ Realm ran to the staircase entrance, their figures suddenly frozen in shock.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Puff! Puff!

The response was a glimpse of a black rainbow, a glimpse that sent them to meet the Blood Evil Sect’s ’deity’.

"Hmm?"

Chi Hong, the Blood Envoy of the Blood Evil Sect, changed his expression drastically.

"Primordial Qi Warrior!"

Controlling objects from a distance, only a Primordial Qi Warrior could do that.

"Who are you?" Chi Hong stirred all his Qi blood, his Heart Spirit vigilant.

"I," Chu Ming stepped forward, the black rainbow shot in response, accompanied by a red palm shadow, "am the guide of the deity."

The guide of the deity?!

Like a devouring abyss surging endlessly, Chi Hong’s soul trembled instantly, mustering all his Qi blood to resist.

Boom——

Qi waves reverberated, the Round Tower collapsed.

Chi Hong’s body was flung out mightily.

"Cough cough... you... who... are you really...?" Chi Hong hadn’t completely died.

"The deity."

Puff——

As the words fell, the black rainbow passed.

Scarlet liquid stained the yellow soil, and the onlookers were all terrified.

Chu Ming scanned coldly with a glance.

The black rainbow sliced through the sky.

Puff puff puff——

Those hidden among the ordinary people, the Blood Evil Sect cultists, were all slaughtered.

"Divine protection!"

Tens of ordinary people brainwashed by the Blood Evil Sect shouted and charged forward.

Scarlet sprayed as the black rainbow sent these people to meet their deity.

The Black Tower collapsed, the earthen walls stained red.

"Run!"

No one dared linger here anymore.

Chu Ming bent down to search, retrieving a few items from Chi Hong.

Letters, a token.

And a pair of shoulder armor, silver-white.

The third piece of the Silver Moon Armor, the Silver Moon Shoulder Armor.

Putting away the shoulder armor, he took out the Tracking Bead and used the letters and token to sense the aura.

The Tracking Bead once again detected a direction.

After collecting the spoils, Chu Ming continued to head southeast.

...

The border area between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Nine Hordes Kingdom, Zhengxi Town.

Situated within the Great Qin Dynasty, separated by the Rongrong River.

Due to geographical reasons, Zhengxi Town is frequently ravaged by warfare, today it is a part of the Great Qin Dynasty, but tomorrow it might be a gathering place for the Nine Hordes Kingdom.

In summary, Zhengxi Town is a chaotic place that neither the Great Qin Dynasty nor the Nine Hordes Kingdom wants to govern.

Such a place is most suitable for powers like the Blood Evil Sect to exist.

In the southwestern part of Zhengxi Town, there is a large black market.

Here, restricted items like weapons, armor, and warhorses are available for sale, along with treasure medicine and cultivation techniques of varying quality, and even the trade of human lives.

Black market, an underground chamber.

In the center of the chamber, a melting furnace burns with a bluish-green flame at its base.

Wisps of ribbon-like gas swirl around the furnace, as if mysterious materials were being refined within.

In front of the furnace, a person dressed in a white robe sat cross-legged, making intricate gestures with their hands seemingly in the void.

With the motions, the ribbon-like gas was guided to drift into the furnace.

"Second Brother."

The door of the chamber opened, and Blood Envoy Chi Zhen of the Blood Evil Sect carried in a person.

The white-robed person frowned and turned their head, voice somewhat hoarse: "Get out."

"Second Brother, stop refining, can the young Horde Lord of Kuirong Zhi even compare to a Primordial Artifact?" Chi Zhen said with a smile.

"Oh? You succeeded?" The white-robed person also showed joy.

"We’ll talk outside." He lightly waved his sleeve, extinguishing the azure flame of the furnace, and the swirling primordial qi also dissipated.

Leaving the chamber, the two sat in the hall.

"Third Brother, you and Fourth Brother accomplished great things this time. With Kuirong Zhi’s Young Master, our Blood Evil Sect can firmly establish a foothold in the Nine Hordes Kingdom. Big Brother and the Young Master will surely reward you and Fourth Brother handsomely."

The white-robed Chi Hong walked to the front of Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord, his expression excited.

"Second Brother, with the five of us working together, not just the young Horde Lord of Kuirong Zhi, but the entire Nine Hordes Kingdom will fall into our hands sooner or later."

Chi Zhen sat on the chair, proudly drinking strong wine.

"Oh, is that so?"

At that moment, a discordant voice echoed in the hall.

The supposedly unconscious young Horde Lord of Kuirong Zhi slowly stood up, despite having hands and feet bound, his eyes were as sharp as blades.

"You?!" Chi Hong, Chi Zhen were shocked.

Bam—

The ropes snapped in response, and Rong Ye, disguised as Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord, no longer concealed himself.

"You are not Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord!" Chi Hong immediately sensed something was wrong.

"A mere heterodox sect dares to target our Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord!" Rong Ye shouted angrily, his aura rapidly soaring, instantly rising from Strong Bone Realm to Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection.

This terrifying aura?!

Meridian Unlocking Perfection!

All Twelve Major Meridians completely unlocked!

Chi Hong, Chi Zhen’s faces changed dramatically.

Especially Chi Zhen, who carried Rong Ye all the way, his face was extremely ugly.

"Third Brother, you were deceived!"

"Useless!"

Chi Hong cursed angrily, his figure burst forward.

Boom Boom Boom—

In an instant, Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord Rong Ye, with all Twelve Major Meridians unlocked, engaged Chi Hong in battle.

The hall collapsed, the building turned to ruins in no time.

"What’s happening over there?"

"There’s a master fighting there, should we go have a look?!"

"..."

Although Chi Hong hadn’t unlocked all Twelve Meridians, using his strength in Ten Meridians combined with Primordial Qi Warrior’s third level Primordial Qi Liquid Realm, with the manipulation of Primordial Consciousness controlling a Primordial Artifact, he was temporarily a match for Rong Ye.

The huge commotion caused by the two masters fighting quickly attracted most of the black market’s attention.

Before long, people from the southwestern area of Zhengxi Town rushed over to watch.

"Such a terrifying fight, stay back."

"What is that red streak? Qi Blood transforming into a rainbow?"

"Transform my ass, ever heard of a Primordial Qi Warrior? That’s called Void Control, snatching an enemy’s head from a thousand miles away!"

"..."

Hundreds to thousands of people watched the fierce battle between Chi Hong and Rong Ye.

On the surface, it seemed the two were on par.

But in reality, that wasn’t the case.

After dozens of exchanges, even with the help of a Primordial Artifact, Chi Hong’s disadvantage in cultivation began to show.

"Third Brother, help me quickly!"

Chi Hong controlled the red elemental artifact to blast Rong Ye away, angrily shouting at Chi Zhen who was watching below.

Chi Zhen hesitated for a moment, silver-white light flashed across his legs, then joined the battle.

In an instant, Chi Hong and Chi Zhen, both close to Meridian Unlocking Perfection level, fiercely battled Kuirong Zhi’s young Horde Lord Rong Ye, who had all Twelve Major Meridians unlocked.

The ferocity of the trio’s battle took them from the black market to the town,

wherever they went, buildings collapsed, and the ground caved in.

The spectators, those who ran fast escaped with their lives, those slower left nothing but bones.

If it continued like this, the entire Zhengxi Town would probably be destroyed.

While the three Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm masters were entangled in battle, a figure rapidly approached from the southwest of Zhengxi Town.

"Started fighting?"

Chu Ming crossed the Rongrong River, sensing the massive commotion in the town from afar.

Amid the chaos, he mingled into the town, spreading the Sword Gourd Spirit to search, quickly sensing Kuirong Zhi’s disguised young Horde Lord, the Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection master battling with the two from the Blood Evil Sect.

A true master with all Twelve Major Meridians unlocked was indeed formidable, one person fighting two Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm late-stage masters alone.

He slowly approached the battlefield’s center, the Sword Gourd Spirit locking onto the three.

Suddenly, Chu Ming’s steps halted, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Is that... Primordial Qi fluctuations?"

He sensed that one of the two from the Blood Evil Sect seemed to be manipulating Primordial Qi in the fight.

Suddenly.

Not only were there Primordial Qi fluctuations, but he also saw a red streak resembling a Primordial Black Blade artifact.

"One of the Blood Evil Sect’s members seems to be a Primordial Qi Warrior, and a Primordial Artifact wielding one at that!"

Chu Ming concealed his presence, observing from a distance.

That Blood Evil Sect’s Primordial Qi Warrior was a master roughly with Ten Meridians unlocked, using both Primordial Techniques and a Primordial Artifact, assisting in attacks against Kuirong Zhi’s Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection, alongside another Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm late-stage master, putting the Blood Evil Sect not at a disadvantage.

He hid in the shadows, silently watching.
