169: Chapter 169 Smash Bloodfang Fortress, Loot the Treasure Vault and Steal Soul Crystals

Leaving the now-ruined Xifeng Pass, Ye Qing did not linger; his figure transformed into a faint, imperceptible streak of light, speeding away towards the northwest.

His second target was Blood Tooth Fort.

Blood Tooth Fort was situated amidst a range of continuous black mountains, with dangerous terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was one of the most important logistics bases for the Heavenly Demon Imperial Court on the eastern front, hoarding a large amount of provisions, ordnance, Medicinal Pills, and various Materials plundered from the Human Race territories.

Stationed at Blood Tooth Fort was a Bat Yao Beast King named "Blood Wing," who also possessed the cultivation of Nascent Soul Perfection.

It was said that this Bat Yao Beast King Cultivated a strange Divine Ability called "Blood Shadow Escape Technique," moving like lightning and being extremely difficult to deal with.

Half a day later, Ye Qing's figure appeared on a hilltop outside Blood Tooth Fort.

He looked down at the fortress, which was built against the mountain and constructed entirely of dark red rock, resembling a bloodthirsty behemoth crouching on the ground; there was not a ripple in his eyes.

He did not waste words and struck directly.

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and made a grasping motion towards the sky above Blood Tooth Fort.

"sword, Air Prohibition!"

An invisible force of space, like a tidal wave, instantly spread out from him as the center in all directions, shrouding the entire Blood Tooth Fort within it.

Above the fortress, those Harpies patrolling and some Yao Beast generals attempting to take flight felt as if the surrounding space had turned into solidified amber, firmly imprisoning them in mid-air, making it incredibly difficult even to flap their wings!

"Enemy attack!!"

A shrill alarm sounded within Blood Tooth Fort!

A blood-red figure shot out from the depths of the fortress like lightning, hovering in mid-air, revealing the image of a middle-aged man wearing a blood-colored robe with a pale and sinister face.

He was none other than the master of Blood Tooth Fort, the Blood Wing Yao Beast King.

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King's gaze locked onto Ye Qing on the hilltop like a venomous snake, his voice sharp and cold: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Blood Tooth Fort!"

Ye Qing's tone was flat: "A Loose Cultivator, Ye Qing. Today, I have come specifically to flatten Blood Tooth Fort."

"Ye Qing?!" The Blood Wing Yao Beast King's pupils constricted slightly; he had clearly heard of Ye Qing's name. "You are that Human Race Cultivator who killed Patrol Inspector Lietian and Tu Lie?!"

"Your information is quite up to date." Ye Qing nodded. "Since you know me, you should also understand that you have no chance today. Surrender, and I can grant you a quick death."

"Arrogant!" The Blood Wing Yao Beast King laughed out of extreme anger. "Do you think that by killing those two pieces of trash, Patrol Inspector Lietian and Tu Lie, you are qualified to be arrogant in front of this King? Today, I will let you witness the true strength of Blood Wing!"

Before the words faded, his figure suddenly transformed into a blood-colored afterimage, rushing towards Ye Qing at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture!

At the same time, a thick smell of blood, mixed with an invisible, dizzying sonic attack, enveloped Ye Qing!

It was precisely his famous "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" and "Soul-Capturing Magic Sound"!

Ye Qing stood in place, motionless, as if he had been affected by the Soul-Capturing Magic Sound.

Just at the moment when the Blood Wing Yao Beast King's sharp claws were about to grab Ye Qing's head—

Ye Qing moved.

He simply extended two fingers.

Then, he gave a light pinch.

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King's claw, fast as lightning and capable of tearing through metal and stone, was thus steadily clamped by his two fingers!

"What?!"

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock!

He wanted to pull back his arm, but found that Ye Qing's two fingers were like two divine mountains, tightly clamping his claw, immovable!

"Your speed is too slow."

Ye Qing's tone was flat, and then, his fingers exerted a slight force.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bone shattering rang out!

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King's sharp claw was actually crushed by him forcibly!

"Ah——!!!"

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King let out a shrill scream, his figure retreating frantically, his gaze towards Ye Qing filled with fear!

He finally understood how vast the gap was between himself and the Human Race Cultivator before him!

It was not a gap in Realm, but a crushing of the level of life!

"Escape! Must escape!"

This was the only thought left in the Blood Wing Yao Beast King's mind; he did not hesitate, turned around, and was about to use the Blood Escape Technique to flee this place!

However, would Ye Qing give him this opportunity?

"Heavenly Dragon Prison Suppression!"

In Ye Qing's eyes, two golden bolts of lightning seemed to flash by!

An invisible force of Divine Soul, filled with endless majesty and oppression, like an invisible tidal wave, instantly submerged the Blood Wing Yao Beast King!

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King only felt a buzzing in his head, as if an invisible primordial divine mountain had smashed fiercely into his Sea of Consciousness!

His Divine Soul was instantly suppressed and imprisoned under this terrifying pressure!

The expression on his face instantly froze, the light in his eyes quickly dissipated, his body went limp, and he fell directly from mid-air, landing on the ground like a pile of mud, completely losing his vitality.

The Blood Wing Yao Beast King at Nascent Soul Perfection had his Divine Soul directly suppressed and killed!

Ye Qing did not even look at the Blood Wing Yao Beast King's corpse; he waved his hand, collected the corpse along with the storage Magic Treasure, and then strode into Blood Tooth Fort.

Without its master's control, the Formation of Blood Tooth Fort was effectively useless before him.

He went all the way without obstruction, coming directly to the core warehouse of Blood Tooth Fort.

The warehouse gate was cast from several feet of black iron, with several layers of defensive runes engraved on it; but before Ye Qing, these defensive measures were just like paper.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and made a light swipe; the heavy black iron gate was sliced open smoothly as if it were tofu.

The moment the gate opened, a rich aura mixed with various Spirit Medicines, Ores, Magic Treasures, and Spirit Stones rushed towards him.

Inside the warehouse, the space was extremely large, and massive amounts of supplies were stacked in categories.

Mountains of Spirit Stones flickered with various lights, numbering at least several million, among which there were plenty of High-Grade Spirit Stones and dozens of Top-Grade Spirit Stones emitting brilliant starlight.

On rows of neat wooden shelves were placed various rare Spirit Medicines, Ores, and Yao Beast Materials, many of which were treasures rarely seen in the outside world.

In the corner, there were also large quantities of Magic Treasures and Magical Artifacts plundered from Human Race Cultivators; although their grades were uneven, they won by their massive quantity.

"Very good. These resources are enough for my Cave Heaven World to improve by another large margin."

Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction, then opened his Cave Heaven World and began to crazily devour these massive amounts of supplies.

Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicines, Ores, Materials, Magic Treasures... all valuable things were sent into the Cave Heaven World in one go, like a whale sucking in water.

Inside the Cave Heaven World, with the influx of these massive resources, drastic changes occurred once again.

The earth expanded amidst roaring sounds, the sea of stars became more brilliant as it twinkled, the concentration of Spiritual Qi soared, and even those few stalks of dragon transformation grass seemed to be stimulated, their leaves becoming more emerald and dripping with green.

When the entire warehouse was emptied by Ye Qing, without even a single Low-Grade Spirit Stone left, he finally stopped.

He searched Blood Tooth Fort carefully once more, finding all hidden compartments and secret rooms, looting everything of value clean.

After confirming there were no omissions, he left this fortress that had become an empty shell.

He did not destroy Blood Tooth Fort but left it for the Human Race Cultivators who arrived later, to serve as a bridgehead for the counterattack.

After doing all this, he cast his gaze once more towards the deeper hinterland of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Court.

"Xifeng Pass and Blood Tooth Fort have been broken. The next target should be 'Lietian City'."
