604: Xie Feng

"Elder Qi has finished speaking, but I still have many questions."

Qi Cheng glanced at this elder. "Everything you need to know and everything I know has already been said. If you have questions, ask, but don't ask what shouldn't be asked."

The elder smiled. "For example... the method of Slaying Three Corpses? Why not tell us in detail?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other surviving elders couldn't help but harbor some thoughts in their hearts.

Although they knew in their hearts that Qi Cheng might truly not know, it was equally possible that he did.

Luohong Hall was gone; from now on, they had to consider their own futures.

However, Qi Cheng was currently in the best condition and possessed the strongest strength among them, so no one dared to say anything.

"I've already said it; I only know that such a method exists, but I don't know what it is." Qi Cheng shook his head, once again stating his ignorance.

The elder continued, "How do you prove that what you just said is true?"

Qi Cheng gave him a deep look after hearing this and said indifferently, "Yue Fang, are you questioning me?"

Yue Fang was the elder speaking, and he was also at the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm in Luohong Hall.

However, he wasn't that powerful, and his ranking among the elders was very low, reaching into the double digits.

With his current state being so poor, he actually dared to step forward in front of Qi Cheng and provoke him so recklessly.

Qi Cheng faintly felt that something seemed wrong with Yue Fang.

But fortunately, having just escaped from that place, he was already prepared to flee at any moment.

Even if he only had the strength of a mere Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm left, everyone present combined couldn't possibly be his match.

At this moment, Yue Fang suddenly became agitated. He pointed at Qi Cheng's nose, "A selfish villain like you, who clearly has the method but refuses to contribute it voluntarily—such a thing should be kept by the moral Holy Mother Sect."

An incredibly faint fluctuation quietly appeared. Upon sensing it, Qi Cheng didn't hesitate to try and flee.

Unfortunately, it was too late—far too late.

A mass of black liquid burst out from Yue Fang's body, transforming into a new humanoid figure.

The figure placed its right hand at its waist; a slit opened in its palm, and blood flowed out, condensing into a pitch-black blade.

The other hand condensed a scabbard, sheathing the black blade.

With extreme speed, the figure suddenly drew the blade, slashing out a sharp, blood-colored blade light.

It passed straight through Qi Cheng from his right waist to his left shoulder.

As for the other elders, they only realized something was wrong after the figure had already attacked.

With just one strike, Qi Cheng was beaten until he lost his ability to move.

Then Chen De quickly approached Qi Cheng and pressed his hand against the wound.

His entire being melted into black liquid on the spot, seeping in through the wound.

In his prime, even Chen De would have had to fight a hard battle and might not have been able to take him down.

In the Immortal Realm, even within the same minor stage, the gap is as vast as a chasm.

After all, Chen De had only just broken through to the Eighth Transformation; even with various bonuses, he could only be compared to the late stage and barely match the peak.

Unfortunately, after being heavily injured, Qi Cheng only had the strength of a mere Eighth Transformation left.

Falling into Chen De's hands, such a person was basically killed in an instant.

Qi Cheng's condition was poor, so Chen De's Influence went very smoothly.

It could be said that almost as soon as he entered the body, the Influence was complete.

The other elders immediately wanted to flee upon seeing this. Qi Cheng at least had Eighth Transformation strength, while the highest among the rest of them was only Seventh Transformation.

Leaving this place was an unrealistic prospect from the very beginning.

Looking at these people who wanted to escape, a slight smirk appeared on the face of Qi Cheng's body... At the original site of Luohong Hall.

"That extremely powerful fluctuation from earlier seemed to come from here, didn't it?"

A figure stood quietly in the starry sky, gazing at the place that was originally the headquarters of Luohong Hall.

Who did this?

Their strength was so great, and they acted so quickly.

He had rushed over as soon as he felt the fluctuation, but he hadn't expected to be a step too late.

The newcomer was none other than Xie Feng, the Sect Master of the Nine Absolute Sword Sect among the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring, the Leader of the Ten Sects Alliance, and the Xie Feng who had already achieved Slaying Three Corpses.

"What on earth happened here?"

Judging by the intensity of the aura lingering here, the opponent's strength was likely at the level of Slaying Three Corpses.

The feeling of this aura was somewhat similar to the Hall Master of Luohong Hall, but sensing it closely, it seemed not to be.

At this time, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall was no longer standing in her original position, so Xie Feng did not discover her.

However, with one of the Ten Sects destroyed, and destroyed so quickly, he had to do something as the Alliance Leader.

Moreover, if such a thing could happen to Luohong Hall, it might not be impossible for it to happen to his own sect.

It was possible that this was an operation by some outer domain targeting the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring.

If that were the case, he would have to investigate it thoroughly.

Immediately, Xie Feng began to investigate carefully, especially the area of the Luohong Hall headquarters.

But just as he touched the original position of the fourth floor, a sudden change occurred.

As if something had been activated, an obscure aura rose up.

Carrying some kind of offensive, it struck directly at Xie Feng.

Since arriving here, Xie Feng had remained on guard; even though he had now achieved Slaying Three Corpses, he was still incredibly cautious.

Sensing the power of this attack, he immediately turned around, holding his Immortal Sword and slicing the offensive in half.

Xie Feng looked at the person who had attacked him and said in surprise, "How can it be you? Hall Master Yu, your strength..."

After that casual strike just now, he had already judged that the attacker's strength was also at the level of someone who had achieved Slaying Three Corpses.

The opponent was at this level, but they might not have necessarily achieved Slaying Three Corpses.

But he never imagined that the person who attacked would be the Hall Master of Luohong Hall, Yu Qianhong.

Judging from the aura fluctuations currently on Yu Qianhong's body, they were consistent with the aura of the person who had destroyed Luohong Hall lingering here.

In other words, Yu Qianhong had wiped out her own sect.

Although this conclusion was somewhat absurd, from the current evidence, it was the truth.

Furthermore, Xie Feng felt that Yu Qianhong's current state was not quite right.

Combining this with Yu Qianhong's current strength, Xie Feng had a faint suspicion.

All the masters of the Ten Sects knew the method of Slaying Three Corpses; perhaps something had gone wrong with the breakthrough.

Xie Feng had been through it and was well aware of the dangers involved.

So he said tentatively, "Hall Master Yu, congratulations on also successfully Slaying Three Corpses."

Falling on Yu Qianhong's ears, she was completely deaf to it and launched another attack against him.

Then the two began to exchange blows; Yu Qianhong used a blade, and Xie Feng used a sword.

Even though her mind was currently unclear, her use of the blade and various martial techniques and divine abilities had long since become instinct.

In terms of moves, neither side could gain the slightest advantage during the fight.

As well as various perceptions of crisis, Yu Qianhong could also react instinctively and subconsciously.

Like a piece of stubborn plaster, she remained tightly entangled with Xie Feng.

Just as they were fighting, suddenly...
