NOVEL WEB Chapter 156.1
That kid turned out to be at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, so the leader of the evil cultivators naturally didn’t want to fight him. In comparison, the shuanger beside the stone bed was obviously weaker, but he could be used as a hostage.
The leader of the evil cultivators noticed that the auras of the two were mingled and that they were also a Taoist couple. This increased his confidence slightly. He wanted to see what the boy would do if his Taoist partner was taken hostage.
Cheng Qi saw him approaching and was not afraid at all. He protected the female cultivator behind him, took out his long whip, and swung it at the leader’s face.
The leader of the evil cultivators grabbed the tail of the whip with quick reflexes and said with a gloomy face, “The last person who touched my face was drained of energy and cut into pieces by me.”
He then fixed his gaze on Cheng Qi. The leader of the evil cultivators stretched out his tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and displayed a greedy smile. “I haven’t tasted the tonic furnace of the Foundation Establishment Stage in many years.”
The scars on the evil cultivator leader’s face became even more ferocious with his smile, and his disgusting yellow teeth made Cheng Qi and the female cultivator behind him frown.
Cheng Qi’s Nether Fire Burning Technique ignited the purple hellfire from the whip, and a burning smell suddenly came from the evil cultivator’s palm, making him let go of the whip as if shocked.
As soon as Cheng Qi’s whip was free, it lashed at the evil cultivator’s face like a snake flicking its tail.
This time, the evil cultivator was completely enraged. He raised a giant hammer and swung it at Cheng Qi’s position. The pressure of the peak Foundation Establishment stage also enveloped them.
Unfortunately, such coercion was useless to Cheng Qi. Several whip shadows struck the handle of the giant hammer. Before the hammer could fall, the handle was burned to the core by the hellfire.
The unsupported giant hammer fell from mid-air. The evil cultivator was almost hit by his own spiritual weapon. After a panicked evasion, he was thrown back by several whips.
“Ah!” The leader of the evil cultivators screamed miserably as he was tortured by the excruciating pain.
He looked at the shuanger with fear and hatred in his eyes, then turned into a fleeing shadow and vanished. Cheng Qi immediately released a ray of yin fire and pursued him.
Li Tianyan saw five Foundation Establishment evil cultivators surrounding him. He mobilized the yin and yang energy in his dantian, turned the spiritual sword in his hand, and shot out several sword intents, striking the evil cultivators before him.
The sword intent varied from hot and blazing to deadly. Several of them seemed to be locked by a force of yin and yang reincarnation, unable to move for a moment. When the sword intent entered their bodies, some were burned by fire, while others withered and died as their bodies gradually decayed.
Li Tianyan had just finished dealing with a few evil cultivators when he saw the leader trying to flee. He slightly raised his spiritual sword and released it.
Sure enough, the leader didn’t escape far before hitting the barrier of the trap formation and being bounced back by a strong force. As soon as the leader reappeared, he was immediately engulfed in a sea of consciousness by a ray of hellfire and pierced through the heavens by a spiritual sword. He only had time to widen his eyes before dying.
Seeing the leader of the evil sect die at the hands of two people like this, the rescued female cultivator was stunned for a moment. She had heard how powerful the cultivators of the big sects were, but she didn’t expect it to be like this.
Li Tianyan took back his spiritual sword, suddenly met Cheng Qi’s eyes, and asked with some confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It looks good,” Cheng Qi replied truthfully. After watching the leader of the evil cultivators just now, Cheng Qi had suddenly realized that looking at Li Tianyan made his eyes feel so comfortable.
Hearing Cheng Qi’s straightforward words, Li Tianyan was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “When I get back, I’ll let you take a closer look.”
She didn’t get what the two was talking about but the female cultivator behind Cheng Qi blushed. Seeing the man looking at her, she calmed down and saluted, saying, “Thank you for saving me. You two seniors are so kind and considerate. Chen Rong will never forget this.”
“No need to be polite.” Li Tianyan raised his hand to indicate to her, then walked into the dungeon.
Seeing the four female cultivators imprisoned inside, Li Tianyan broke the restrictions and released them all.
Several female cultivators helped each other out of the dungeon. When they saw the corpses of five evil cultivators laying in the cave, they knew they had truly been saved. Their faces were filled with the joy of being reborn after a disaster. Only one of the tall female cultivators frowned slightly when she saw the corpses of these evil cultivators.
Li Tianyan’s eyes swept over several people before he said to Cheng Qi, “Let’s go and meet the others first.”
Since the information about the Hehuan Sect had been wrong and other evil cultivators might have puppets, it was better to go and check to avoid any surprises.
This time Li Tianyan took several people with him, walking in front with Cheng Qi, followed closely by several female cultivators. When passing by the body of the evil cultivator leader, everyone couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Li Tianyan seemed acting as if nothing had happened, but in fact, his consciousness remained on several people, and he continued to move forward when he saw no movement.
