Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter Sixty-Two: Sudden Wealth

The young monk Fayuan's condition was dire, but after Lin Haoming scanned him, he discovered that Fayuan had actually survived.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that although the flesh on Fayuan's chest was rotten, the bones inside, as if from his own cultivation of the "Divine Bone Technique," had shifted to one piece, using the parallel, connected bones to block the sword strike.

"Haha..."

Fayuan, in such a miserable state, suddenly burst into laughter. The bleeding from his wounds first stopped, and then some minor wounds quickly healed. However, the injury to his chest was too severe to heal immediately.

Even so, Fa Yuan still smiled at Hu Xiangzhen, "Good! Very good! Zhenzhen, you are the first Qi Refining disciple who can truly harm me. This humble monk suddenly finds it somewhat reluctant to send you to the afterlife!"

Hu Xiangzhen looked at Fa Yuan, who was still standing before him, his eyes no longer able to conceal his horror.

The power of that sword strike was equivalent to thirty percent of his mother, Madam You's, full-force attack. Let alone a Qi Refining disciple, even a Foundation Establishment disciple would be considered remarkable if they could withstand it. Fa Yuan actually withstood it—was he even human?

Hu Xiangzhen had risked everything to kill Fa Yuan, even sacrificing everyone present, yet he still failed. Now, facing Fa Yuan, a fear, an indescribable terror, welled up within him.

Hu Xiangzhen knew that if Fa Yuan didn't die today, this man would likely become his inner demon. No matter how high his cultivation level became, unless the difference in cultivation was a significant realm, he would never be a match for Fa Yuan.

Thinking this, Hu Xiangzhen patted her storage bag again, and a crescent-shaped blade-like magical weapon appeared before her.

The curved blade exuded a chilling aura, and with a flash of silver light, it was upon Fayuan.

Fayuan swung the prayer beads he tightly gripped, only to see the curved blade suddenly split into several blades, each slashing towards several of his vital points.

Previously, Fayuan would have been completely unfazed, but now his movements were noticeably slower. He only managed to protect a few vital points, and several more parts of his body were cut open again.

Just then, five flying swords suddenly arrived simultaneously. Amidst flashes of five-colored light, the swords clashed with the blades.

Hu Xiangzhen was startled to see someone suddenly intervene to help Fayuan, especially since they were wielding the Five Elements Swords of Tianjian Mountain.

Upon closer inspection, he realized the attacker was none other than the demonic sect disciple he'd encountered before, the one who had killed many of his men. He instinctively cried out, "It's you!"

Lin Haoming sheathed his Five Elements Sword, looked at Hu Xiangzhen, and then at the dozens of cultivators scattered on the ground, now reduced to pieces. He shook his head and said, "As a disciple of a demonic sect like the Blood Refining Sect, I have immense respect for you. To think you could kill everyone, friend or foe alike."

"Hmph! Mind your own business!" Hu Xiangzhen sneered. She feared Fa Yuan, but not Lin Haoming. With a flick of her finger, the blades reformed into a curved saber, slashing down at Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming was no pushover either. Three of his Five Elements Swords merged into a giant sword to meet the attack.

"Clang!" A fierce clash ensued.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen had also made his preparations. He patted his storage pouch, and a spear crackling with lightning flew out, heading straight for Hu Xiangzhen.

Upon seeing this, Hu Xiangzhen noticed a row of storage bags containing seven or eight giant wolves, each as tall as a person and with crimson fur.

"Earthfire Demon Wolves!" Wang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Haoming's gaze swept over them, his expression turning serious.

These suddenly appearing so-called Earthfire Demon Wolves were all peak-level level one spirit beasts, meaning he would be facing seven or eight Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivators at once.

Although low-level spirit beasts lack intelligence and could be dealt with by late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so many at once would be a serious challenge.

Lin Haoming was now somewhat resentful of those who set the rules; why hadn't they prohibited bringing spirit beasts?

Faced with this situation, Lin Haoming didn't dare hesitate and immediately called out, "Senior Brother Wang, hold them off for a moment!"

Wang Chen glanced at Lin Haoming and saw him take out a talisman. The talisman depicted a small axe, clearly a talismanic treasure.

Upon seeing the talisman, Wang Chen was first startled, then overjoyed. He immediately stopped hiding it, patting his storage bag, and a bead crackling with lightning appeared in his hand.

He cast a spell on the bead, and instantly a thick arc of lightning shot out. The lightning struck the summoned spear, accompanied by crackling sounds. Electric arcs swirled around the spear, and Wang Chen swept it around, instantly creating a lightning net in front of him, keeping the fire wolves at bay.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lin Haoming quickly poured his magic power into the talisman. The talisman flashed, and a huge axe appeared before everyone's eyes.

Hu Xiangzhen clearly hadn't expected Lin Haoming to possess a talisman, and her face turned extremely grim.

She wasn't without means of resistance; she still had talismans on her person. However, in her attempt to kill Fa Yuan in one blow, she had used some secret techniques, resulting in some damage and weakening her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have released the Earthfire Wolves. If she were to use the same talismans to fight head-on, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

Faced with this situation, Hu Xiangzhen gritted her teeth, summoned the Earthfire Wolves to pounce, and then pulled out a top-grade Earth Escape Talisman and slapped it onto herself.

Lin Haoming, seeing Hu Xiangzhen run away again, felt somewhat helpless. At this moment, he could only continue to chop down the Earthfire Wolves with his giant axe.

Although the mountain-splitting axe was far inferior to the talismans Hu Xiangzhen had used earlier, its power was still considerable, at least against these few Earthfire Wolves.

With a deafening roar, the Earthfire Wolves were all annihilated in an instant. The immense power of this attack even caused cracks to appear in the ground.

After slaying the Fire Wolves, Lin Haoming immediately took out three high-grade Qi-restoring pills and swallowed them.

The talisman returned to his hand. Looking at the dwindling spiritual energy within, Lin Haoming knew that this axe would likely only be usable once more.

Fa Yuan, seeing Hu Xiangzhen escape, breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down cross-legged and swallowed two pills.

Seeing that he wasn't involved for the time being, Lin Haoming, after dealing with the Fire Wolves, took the storage bags of those who had been killed earlier.

Wang Chen, having witnessed Lin Haoming's true abilities and feeling somewhat uneasy about his own escape, and with Fa Yuan present, didn't compete with Lin Haoming for the bags.

Thus, Lin Haoming suddenly felt like he had become rich overnight. Just those dozens of storage bags were worth a large sum of spirit stones, and besides the spirit stones he mined, he could keep everything else from the spirit stone mine.
