"Master of the Association... Just give us a little more time, and we will bring him down!"
Bei Yingkuang hastily said, knowing in their hearts that the three of them, working together, were suppressed and severely injured by Su Changkong. The man in the black robe would not have shown himself if he werenât dissatisfied.
The man in the black robe, Qin Miesheng, said calmly, "I never really expected you to bring him down anyhow."
His calm words contained a faint disdain, as if he had anticipated that the three were no match for Su Changkong. Nonetheless, Bei Yingkuang, Wu Meng, and Wu Qin didnât dare show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Young man, you really surprised me, forcing me to show myself in person."
Qin Miesheng stared at Su Changkong, his tone calm, betraying neither happiness nor anger.
"Qin Mieshengâs aura is too terrifying, but... why didnât he take action from the beginning?"
Su Changkong remained on full alert, astonished by the profoundness of Qin Mieshengâs aura, yet he also sensed that something was amiss with him.
Qin Miesheng had previously lurked in the shadows, scaring away Mo Junling, yet he chose not to strike, only revealing himself now. And before he did, he had allowed his three subordinates to confront Su Changkong first.
This indicated that Qin Miesheng probably had some compelling reason for sending his three subordinates to attack Su Changkong.
And seeing that Bei Yingkuang and the others failed to bring down Su Changkong, he finally showed himself, deciding to take matters into his own hands!
Even so, Su Changkong still maintained the utmost vigilance and said in a deep voice, "Are you Qin Miesheng? How did you find me?"
Su Changkong voiced his doubts; half a month earlier, during his battle with Mo Junling, Qin Miesheng had detected his presence.
Qin Miesheng replied with a calm voice, "Because of karma, I was tracking the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and saw the karmic thread that connected to you."
Those words sent a chill through Su Changkongâs heart.
The reason Qin Miesheng encountered Su Changkong was because of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man!
The Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman, which opens the passage to the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, allows someone of Qin Mieshengâs realm to see the karmic threads to a certain extent.
Su Changkong had long since formed karma with the Life Extinguishing Association, and Qin Miesheng had sensed it. He went to the Heavenly Corpse Sect planning to use the tracking skills of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man to find Su Changkong. According to Qin Mieshengâs observations, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had karmic threads on him!
This led Qin Miesheng to wait patiently, and sure enough, as he expected, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man got a Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman. Shortly thereafter, he was sought out by Mo Junling, Vice Leader of the Sacred Heart Alliance, and was heavily injured and fled, until he encountered Su Changkong.
Su Changkong fought a great battle with Mo Junling, while Qin Miesheng revealed a trace of his own aura in the shadows, scaring Mo Junling away.
The reason for this was that Qin Miesheng intended to capture Su Changkong alive and to obtain the Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman for himself. If Su Changkong were to die at the hands of Mo Junling, he wouldnât be able to capture Su Changkong to exchange for Hong Zhenxiang.
After scaring Mo Junling away, Qin Miesheng followed Su Changkong in secret, witnessing his return to the Spirit Taoist Sect, and thus confirming his hiding place.
Then, Qin Miesheng immediately contacted Bei Yingkuang and the other three Monster Warrior elders he had cultivated and directly attacked.
"This Qin Miesheng... is terrifying! He can see what karmic threads... Is this some kind of Divine Skill?"
Su Changkong felt a chill in his heart, realizing how formidable Qin Miesheng was, perhaps a real Martial Saint level master!
Logically, the safest thing for Su Changkong to do would be to retreat immediately. But if he fled, aside from the question of whether he could escape, even if he could, the Spirit Taoist Sect would surely suffer!
"Qin Miesheng went to such lengths, not attacking me the moment he discovered me, definitely due to some issue of his own. His aura, although profound as an abyss, seemed somewhat... powerful on the outside but weak within. I might not be completely outmatched."
Su Changkong carefully observed Qin Miesheng, noting the black robe he wore, which seemed empty below, lacking the kind of oppressive force that would leave one in despair.
Su Changkong guessed that Qin Miesheng must have had some problem and therefore didnât reveal himself until now!
Qin Mieshengâs pale golden eyes focused on Su Changkong, "Surrender, and I will use you to trade for Pang Shengwu. If you resist... you will die."
The icy coldness in Qin Mieshengâs straightforward words was chilling to the bone.
"Really? I think itâs you who will die!"
A cold light flickered in Su Changkongâs eyes. Instead of guessing wildly, it was time to put it to the test!
"Tsk!"
With a thought from Su Changkong, the Blade Soul trembled, and a mighty Blade Qi manifested from thin air, transforming into an invisible sharp edge that tore through the air, aiming to kill Qin Miesheng.
"Pfft!"
This strike, infused with the power of the Blade Soul, locked onto the enemyâs soul aura.
Normally, unless the opponentâs realm was not inferior to Su Changkongâs, they would have to either withstand or dodge it; otherwise, they would have to bear the brunt, but Qin Miesheng stood still and, like a ghost, shifted laterally out of thin air by several yards, easily causing Su Changkongâs attack to miss and slice through the air!
Just this one move alarmed Su Changkong slightly, signaling that Qin Mieshengâs movement speed was not inferior to his, which meant that even if he tried to flee, Qin Miesheng would be able to easily pursue him.
Qin Miesheng sighed lightly, "Well... Itâs been quite some time since I battled someone. Allow me to show you... what real despair is!"
Su Changkong was strong, a prodigy born of this era and might have the chance to achieve Martial Saint status in the future. However, to Qin Miesheng, since he had decided to take action himself, there would not be a mistake!
"Bei Yingkuang, itâs time for you to sacrifice yourselves for me."
Qin Mieshengâs calm and cold voice echoed in the minds of Bei Yingkuang and the other two.
