Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 41 Demonic Sect Body Refining Cultivator

Although Qian Yuanshu's shield was powerful, Lin Haoming had used the Mother-Child Sword to ambush him, so he didn't care. Upon seeing this, he immediately summoned the Flying Scissors.

Qian Yuanshu was somewhat surprised that Lin Haoming could summon three magical artifacts at once. He knew that the spiritual strength of a Qi Refining stage cultivator was limited. Even a Great Perfection cultivator would find it extremely difficult to control three magical artifacts. For a cultivator at only the ninth level of Qi Refining to wield three magical artifacts meant his spiritual strength was stronger than his own.

But just as he was surprised, Lin Haoming's flying sword and flying scissors attacked from both sides.

Upon seeing this, Qian Yuanshu slapped his shield, and the edge of the shield actually broke off, meeting the flying sword and flying scissors head-on.

Although Qian Yuanshu had many broken blades, he was actually controlling two magical artifacts. One was a combined artifact, but for a Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivator, it was still barely manageable.

Lin Haoming, seeing this, was not alarmed but delighted. He immediately pointed at the flying scissors, which instantly split in two, each aimed at Qian Yuanshu.

Qian Yuanshu seemed to have anticipated this move. His shield had already moved to the side where the flying scissors would attack, while several blades simultaneously met the other half of the flying scissors.

At that moment, Lin Haoming shifted his attention, and the Mother-Child Sword swiftly slashed towards Qian Yuanshu.

Qian Yuanshu was also prepared, several blades meeting the attack.

But just then, Lin Haoming suddenly cast a spell. As the Mother-Child Sword deflected several blades, seemingly exhausting its power, a flash of light appeared, and a white beam pierced towards his heart.

Qian Yuanshu had no time to react before the light pierced his heart.

Lin Haoming felt a surge of joy, instinctively thinking how much he had honed under Xie Ruolan's tutelage these past few days, even managing to ambush an opponent a minor realm higher than himself.

But just as Lin Haoming was feeling smug, Qian Yuanshu didn't fall. Instead, all the blades suddenly flew towards Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming was terrified. Instinctively, he took out his Stone Armor Talisman and slapped it onto his body. Instantly, his entire body was covered in a layer of solid stone armor, rendering the blades ineffective.

However, although he had dodged the attack, Lin Haoming's expression turned grim. He discovered that his sword was still embedded in Qian Yuanshu's heart, but it seemed to be stuck by something, unable to pierce further, yet impossible to pull out.

Lin Haoming found this strange, and at the same time, he heard a series of cracking sounds, like bones and joints.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming simply swallowed two Qi-restoring pills and then put away his mother-and-child sword and flying scissors.

Just then, Qian Yuanshu suddenly charged directly at Lin Haoming, throwing a punch at him.

Lin Haoming only felt the opponent's movements were as fast as lightning. Before he could react, he was struck by the punch, and the stone armor attached to his body immediately cracked.

This Qian Yuanshu was actually a body-refining cultivator, which Lin Haoming found unbelievable. Moreover, with such speed and the power of that attack, he would certainly be dead without the stone armor talisman. Such strength was considered outstanding even among inner disciples; how could he have gotten to this place?

Lin Haoming wanted to summon the Five Elements Sword, but the speed of using the Five Elements Sword was clearly too slow. He feared that before he could even unleash his attack, his opponent would have taken his life.

"Damn it!" Lin Haoming cursed, ignoring everyone else, he threw out an ice arrow talisman, and as hundreds of ice arrows shot towards his opponent, he fled into the distance.

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

Qian Yuanshu roared, then pointed at his flying sword and immediately leaped onto the azure rainbow to give chase.

Although Lin Haoming had left earlier, his opponent was incredibly fast and caught up quickly.

Lin Haoming flicked his wrist, throwing out a fire snake talisman, not even looking back, then took out a small bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, Lin Haoming immediately felt his depleted mana replenished. At the same time, a talisman depicting a small axe appeared in his hand—the very talisman he had recently acquired.

This was Lin Haoming's first time using a talisman. He had just followed the steps to activate the incantation when he felt his spiritual energy surge into the talisman as if a dam had burst. In no time, a full seventy percent of his mana was drained.

Lin Haoming was somewhat incredulous that so much mana had been drained simply from activating the talisman, but this only strengthened his confidence in it.

When Lin Haoming flew out of the imperial city and reached the vicinity of a large river, he suddenly turned around and threw the talisman at Qian Yuanshu, who had caught up very closely.

With a flash of light, a giant axe, several dozen feet tall, appeared within the light. The axe's appearance exuded astonishing power, like a divine weapon descending from the heavens, awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Qian Yuanshu, relentlessly pursuing Lin Haoming, was startled when he suddenly saw such a treasure thrown out.

He knew about talismans, but had never seen one before. Just seeing the giant axe the other had conjured was enough to terrify him, and he inwardly screamed for help.

He regretted underestimating this ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. He'd thought the boy was just an ordinary inner disciple, but now he realized the boy possessed talismans. It seemed the boy might even be a disciple of some patriarch.

But now he was helpless. It was too late to dodge. The giant axe hadn't given him much time to react. He could only send his flying sword to meet it, then summon his shield, and then apply a defensive talisman. With a roar, his bones cracked as he charged towards the falling axe.

Lin Haoming watched his opponent's rapid reaction, his numerous layers of techniques, and felt uncertain. If the boy blocked the attack, even with a Spirit Recovery Pill, he probably wouldn't be able to quickly control the talisman on the mountain-splitting axe for a second strike.

To Lin Haoming's surprise, when the axe fell with astonishing force, the flying sword shattered instantly, and the shield crumbled upon contact. With a flash of light, both the defensive talisman and Qian Yuanshu himself were cleaved in two. Faced with this powerful talisman, he was utterly powerless to resist.

Seeing Qian Yuanshu killed so easily, Lin Haoming was initially incredulous. But looking at his halved corpse and the blood-soaked ground, he finally confirmed that Qian Yuanshu was indeed dead. This made Lin Haoming marvel at the power of the talisman, and for a moment, he felt that his seven thousand spirit stones hadn't been wasted!
