37: Chapter 37 Demonic Cultivator Attack

"Hmph, too late."

Chen Fan acted with extreme decisiveness; over a dozen Talismans transformed into streaks of golden giant swords, slashing rapidly toward the two.

Although the two Su Family Cultivators managed to activate their protective barriers in time, under the continuous attacks, the barriers shattered quickly.

With a scream, they were instantly slashed into piles of flesh by the light swords formed from the Talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Su, business is business. If we can cooperate, that would be for the best. However, if you wish to play any petty tricks, I will not accompany you."

Chen Fan's tone was stiff and extremely displeased, while the surrounding Talismans emitted a golden glow, continuing to hover incessantly.

"Indeed, indeed, just now was all a misunderstanding."

Deacon Su Changhe was completely shocked by the scene before him; he never expected anyone to be able to unleash so many Talismans in one breath.

With this, any other thoughts in his mind quickly vanished into thin air.

"These are the Spiritual Plants for the next batch of breakthrough pill, please do not take offense, Fellow Daoist." Deacon Su Changhe wore a respectful expression, fearful of losing this capable Alchemist, and hurriedly handed over the rare Spiritual Plants.

Chen Fan nodded slightly, flicked his long sleeve, and stowed them into his Storage Pouch.

Afterwards, he strode out of the Su Family Shop and disappeared into the marketplace.

Deacon Su Changhe stood stunned for a long while, finally shaking his head helplessly.

Chen Fan's expression was solemn as he circled the marketplace. After confirming no Su Family Cultivators were following him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then began purchasing various spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, spiritual meat, spiritual fish, and spiritual wine.

After finishing his shopping, he headed toward the Qin Family's flying ship.

"Deacon Chen."

A beautiful female Cultivator waiting for the flying ship to depart performed a salute quite respectfully, her eyes brimming with light, her gaze constantly sweeping over him with great curiosity.

She had not expected this rumored Matrilocal son-in-law to be so young, and he seemed to possess some sort of unique temperament.

For a moment, her heart skipped a beat.

Chen Fan saw this but did not say much, responding with a warm smile; after all, the other party was merely a low-level Cultivator at Qi Refining Level 5.

Since he began to Cultivate the Immortal Beauty Technique rewarded by the System, he seemed to attract many such gazes and had long since grown accustomed to it.

"I am Qin Yidan, just joined the Alchemy Hall. I have long heard of Deacon Chen's great name, please offer me some guidance." As the beautiful female Cultivator said this, her earlobes could not help but turn red.

"Since we are both Alchemists, there is no need to speak of guidance; we can simply discuss it together. The Dao of Alchemy emphasizes both Opportunity and Acquired diligence; in the pursuit of the Dao, there is no distinction of seniority." Chen Fan said with a gentle attitude.

"Mm, I have encountered some problems while refining Medicinal Pills recently, but I cannot find the cause." Qin Yidan recounted the problems she encountered daily in great detail.

After hearing this, Chen Fan smiled faintly; since he had nothing to do, he began to explain them one by one.

While the two were discussing, the flying ship slowly ascended, pierced into the clouds, and flew through the air toward the lands of the Qin Family.

Listening to his simple and clear explanations, Qin Yidan's eyes were filled with reverence. She had never heard such profound theories of the Dao of Alchemy before, and it felt like a sudden enlightenment.

"Thank you, Deacon Chen. If I have questions in the future..."

"If you have questions, just come to the Back Courtyard to find me." Chen Fan said, still with a gentle attitude.

After some conversation, he discovered that the beautiful woman before him had quite a talent for the Dao of Alchemy; with some pointers, she would progress rapidly in the future.

Just at this moment, a dull thud suddenly came from afar, and a streak of black mist rapidly dispersed.

"Not good, there are Demon Cultivators."

The several Family guards manning the flying ship were quite experienced; their expressions changed drastically, and they one after another summoned their Magical Artifacts to stand ready.

The other Qin Family Cultivators saw this and did the same.

It was just that some were nervous, some were afraid, and some were at a loss for what to do.

Qin Yidan was somewhat panicked and uneasy; this was her first time encountering such an event, and her face was extremely pale.

The black mist dispersed, and the three Demon Cultivators in the distance let out a burst of "Hahaha" laughter.

"Listen, Qin Family Cultivators, hand over your Storage Pouches and you can live. If you don't know what's good for you, we will slaughter you all."

The three were tall and burly, wearing black clothes and ugly masks, holding huge mace Magical Artifacts, and stepping on black flying ships.

Although there were not many of them, they were all around Qi Refining Level 10.

And this time, among the Family guards on the flying ship, the leader was at Qi Refining Level 10, but there was only one, and the rest were around the 8th Layer of Qi Refining.

In comparison, the difference in strength was immense.

"We should not linger in battle, let us leave quickly." The Captain of the Guards gave the order, and the flying ship sped across the sky with extraordinary speed.

"Hmph, you cannot escape."

The black mist in the distance spread rapidly, and shortly after, multiple huge black chains formed an airtight giant net.

Seeing there was no way out, the leading Captain of the Guards had a stern expression and shouted loudly: "My Qin Family disciples must absolutely not fall into the hands of Demon Cultivators. Prepare for battle."

Upon hearing this, the blood of the crowd surged, and the determination to fight to the death appeared on their faces.

The cruel methods of Demon Cultivators were long known; generally, male Cultivators would be killed to extract their blood essence; female Cultivators would either be humiliated, sold, or abducted to become Cauldrons.

"A bunch of ants, overestimating your capabilities."

The burly Cultivator in the lead scanned them, sneered, took a step forward, and headed toward the Qin Family Captain of the Guards.

The remaining two Demon Cultivators flew toward the flying ship, one from the left and one from the right.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic, and all the Qin Family Cultivators fought desperately to resist.

However, these Qin Family Cultivators were simply no match for the two Qi Refining Level 10 Cultivators. After the guards resisted desperately for a while, they were quickly defeated.

As a golden giant net descended from the sky, they were forcibly enveloped within it.

As for the lower-Realm Cultivators, they had no way out and were forcibly pushed to one side of the ship's railing.

"Deacon Chen, what should we do?" Qin Yidan's face showed despair. Thinking about being humiliated by the Demon Cultivators, tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, Chen Fan's expression was calm. What he cared about most was whether there were any hidden Demon Cultivators nearby. After confirming there were none, he finally breathed a slow sigh of relief.

"It is fine, they are merely some useless Demon Cultivators."

After speaking, he slightly raised his arm, and dozens of Talismans whistled out from his sleeve.

A Demon Cultivator standing not far away was caught off guard; he only felt streaks of dazzling light appearing before his eyes. After feeling a tremendous stabbing pain, he screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

The other Demon Cultivator saw this, was greatly alarmed, and immediately summoned a protective Magical Artifact.

However, under the continuous attacks of dozens of Talismans, he retreated step by step.

At this time, Chen Fan no longer concealed his cultivation, radiating the strength of Qi Refining Level 9.

He then patted his Storage Pouch, and a bright Medium Grade Flying Sword flew out rapidly.

With a "whoosh" sound, it struck the opponent's protective barrier.

With a shattering sound, the outermost protective Magical Artifact suddenly broke.

"Medium Grade Magical Artifact?" The Demon Cultivator's eyes lit up. Just as he wanted to say something, his expression suddenly turned dull, and his gaze lost its luster.

It turned out that behind the Medium Grade Flying Sword was a Flying Cloud Needle invisible to the naked eye.

It was so sharp that it entered directly into the opponent's Sea of Consciousness.

With a "thump" sound, the burly Demon Cultivator fell flat onto the deck.

In a very short time, slaying two Late-stage Qi Refining Demon Cultivators in succession left the Qin Family Cultivators stunned.
