Chapter 77: The Golden Crow’s Light

Thud!

With a clash of spiritual power, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Qin Yangjun actually caught the attack with his bare hand.

A great sun rose behind him, and his entire aura surged.

“If it were the real person, I might be a bit afraid, but you? No way.”

As soon as the words fell, a flame burst from Qin Yangjun’s body. The explosive energy of the scorching flame directly blasted the Void Grotto realm girl away.

“Great Sun Martial Image! Haha, now this is interesting!” The girl laughed excitedly and charged at Qin Yangjun again.

“Who told you this is the Great Sun Martial Image?” Qin Yangjun said nothing more, his hands suddenly clasped together, and the sun behind him expanded in an instant.

At this moment, Qin Yangjun’s voice rang in the minds of the Yuqian Sect disciples.

“Yuqian Sect disciples! Close your eyes!”

“Scatter!”

Qin Yangjun shouted, the great sun hung in the sky, and a pitch-black figure appeared within the sun, a black bird silhouette.

Most of the demon cultivators on the battlefield instinctively turned their gazes toward the sun. The girl seemed to sense something wrong, her expression changed slightly, and she covered her eyes with one hand.

Then the golden bird opened its beak and let out a cry. The crisp sound mixed with golden flames swept through the surroundings. The charging girl was once again sent flying by the scorching flames. The golden fire burned her skin and tattered her clothes.

The demonic qi on those demon sect disciples was instantly suppressed, and everyone’s cultivation realm plummeted. The demon cultivators below Void Grotto, caught off guard, did not look away. The golden flames seared their eyes, causing them to let out agonizing screams.

Then the battle reversed. Demon cultivators’ blood splattered the immortal boat. As their realms dropped, the demon experts were suppressed by the Yuqian Sect side.

Companions were killed, and she herself was injured by the golden flames. But the girl showed not a trace of annoyance; instead, she looked at Qin Yangjun with excitement.

“Golden Crow! Ten thousand evils retreat! Oh my god, that’s the highest-ranked celestial beast in legends. You actually have such fortune. Where did you comprehend this?”

“I’ll tell you when you’re dead!” Qin Yangjun directly drew his sword and charged at the girl. Now she was suppressed by the Golden Crow image, plus boosted by the Golden Crow martial image. Qin Yangjun’s cultivation was only Nascent Soul, but he could still fight her.

Meanwhile, Ah Ling and Yu Lingyue had also resolved their troubles and came to help Qin Yangjun. Qin Yangjun and Ah Ling teamed up to knock the girl down onto the immortal boat. Yu Lingyue immediately drew her sword and joined, unleashing a storm of attacks on the girl.

During this, Jiang Yanfeng also wanted to join in, but the girl slapped him away.

As the three intensified their attacks, the girl was forced back again after just a few exchanges. Covered in wounds, she supported herself with her hands on the ground and looked at her right hand in disbelief. Then she looked up at Yu Lingyue, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

“You’re devouring my qi?”

Then she saw the crimson Taotie phantom behind Yu Lingyue.

“The ferocious beast Crimson Taotie… Haha, your Yuqian Sect truly hides dragons and crouching tigers!”

The next second, the girl dissipated on the spot, and countless black qi spread across the immortal boat.

Suddenly, Qin Yangjun sensed a pair of eyes watching him. A chill crept up his back. He instinctively turned around but saw nothing. Then his chest was hit hard. After that, a stream of black qi drilled into Qin Yangjun’s body. But shortly after the black qi entered, the girl spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

“You’re a Dao Body? Isn’t your Raging Thunder Dao Body caused by a technique?”

Roar!

At this moment, a beast’s roar sounded in the black mist. The black qi spreading across the immortal boat began to converge in one direction. Then Yu Lingyue’s figure gradually emerged from the black qi. The crimson Taotie phantom behind her opened its huge mouth and swallowed all the black qi. At the same time, Yu Lingyue’s aura steadily rose, and in an instant, she reached the Golden Core realm.

As the black mist dispersed, Ah Ling and Yu Lingyue gathered around again. Qin Yangjun also spat out blood, but it was black.

“Your intelligence network is quite extensive…” Qin Yangjun said coldly. He now understood this person’s true purpose. All that talk about killing him was a facade. It was all for that one move just now.

As the Demon Lord, Xu Yi Moyuan had an incredibly absurd ability: Dao Heart Demon Seed. Once implanted, the demon seed would burrow into the host’s sea of consciousness, subtly influence the host’s thoughts, and eventually turn them into Xu Yi Moyuan’s puppet. Later, when the demon seed matured, Xu Yi Moyuan could even control that person’s body through it, merging their identities.

This person wanted to turn him into a puppet, hence the ambush. But because he was a Dao Body, his qi was more overbearing than an ordinary person’s and contained the power of heavenly laws. The demon seed couldn’t take root. Her condition just now was the backlash from the demon seed.

The girl smiled slightly and wiped the blood from her mouth.

“When you killed the Mountain-Overturning Eagle, my people happened to be nearby.”

But as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yangjun’s figure suddenly dissipated like smoke. The girl’s expression changed, and she turned to raise her hand in defense. The Blood Hum Sword, carrying the force of countless thunderbolts, slashed down toward the girl.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the girl’s pupils contracted. Then she spat out another mouthful of blood. She slowly lowered her head and found a water sword stuck in her chest.

“You kid, quite a lot of tricks!”

Hum!

The demonic qi around her exploded again, knocking Qin Yangjun back. Enduring the pain, the girl pulled out the water sword and swayed, clutching her chest. She looked around.

Because of the Golden Crow Martial Image’s light, all demon cultivators’ cultivation was suppressed. Now on their side, only a few Void Grotto cultivators and that Mahayana cultivator were still alive. The rest were mostly killed. But those few were at the end of their strength; being killed was only a matter of time.

“Hiss, ! Cough! I didn’t expect you to have such a move. I’ll admit defeat this time, but your days won’t be so peaceful from now on.”

After saying that, the girl suddenly spread her hands, and a blood-red formation appeared behind her. From the corpses of the demon cultivators around, wisps of blood qi shot out. They converged behind her, and her aura rapidly rose.

A peak master exclaimed, “Not good, she’s going to escape! Stop her!”

Boom!

With an explosion, the blood qi burst, and the girl turned into a red light and shot out. The peak master slapped his thigh in frustration.

“Damn, she got away!”

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the spiritual qi around was converging in one direction. He couldn’t help but look up. Then he saw Qin Yangjun slowly rising into the sky. The Golden Crow Martial Image behind him began to expand. Endless thunder mixed with golden flames gathered on his Blood Hum Sword. A chilling aura, carrying the Killing Sword Intent, gathered in the sky.
