Chapter 343: Vermilion Bird Banner
Soar!
Outside of the Five Elements Mountain Range, a thousand miles away, Hua Tianxiong’s Precious Carriage transformed into a golden stream of light, shuttling through the sky.
Following behind were the guards of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company, as well as the Golden Core offering.
After half an incense stick.
He had almost arrived at the location agreed upon with Qin Ming.
However, at this moment.
Nearby, the sky, which had been clear with white clouds, suddenly darkened as black Qi swirled and quickly became dim.
A rich Killing Intent covered the sky and the earth, black clouds filled the air, and there were tens of thousands of ghosts wailing within, as if a black net had opened and enveloped the people of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company.
Seeing this scene, the Golden Core offering of the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion immediately changed their complexion and shouted at the subordinates around:
“There’s been a change! Protect President!”
Afterward, they took the lead and flew towards Hua Tianxiong’s Precious Carriage.
But in the next moment, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
They crashed into a pitch-black, vast sea of mist, where tens of thousands of ghosts crawled out from within, baring their fangs and claws, and pouncing towards them.
“Damn it, it’s a Demonic Path restriction!”
The Golden Core offering’s complexion became extremely unsightly.
…
Hua Tianxiong, who was outside, also detected this situation; it was obviously the work of Demonic Cultivators.
He released his Divine Sense and had already sensed two powerful, Late-Stage Golden Core Demon Cultivators who were chasing after him, and their speed was astonishing.
What shocked him even more was that Enshrinement Xu, who was responsible for safety, seemed to have been held back by the other party’s methods.
Hua Tianxiong subconsciously realized that his whereabouts had probably been exposed.
Since coming out of the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace, he had been followed or marked.
“Hua Tianxiong! Where do you think you’re going to run today?”
“I’ll let you experience the pain of bone-corroding and marrow-sucking later, and see if you’re still as tough as you were at the auction house!”
Two paths of black Escape Light came from afar and arrived in an instant, followed by more than a dozen Demonic Path Disciples, who were mixed in with the guards of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company in a melee.
The pitch-black Escape Light converged, revealing the figures of Tian Wugong of the Yin Demon Sect and Old Demon Yan, who were staring at Hua Tianxiong with a playful gaze.
Hua Tianxiong’s complexion turned pale, and he quickly controlled his Precious Carriage to fly away.
He still had some Certainty in his mind; he was very clear that he was by no means a match for these two Demonic Cultivators with their fierce reputation.
“Hua Tianxiong, come to the direction of the mountains in the northwest.”
Just then.
In Hua Tianxiong’s mind, Qin Ming’s Voice Transmission suddenly sounded.
He immediately shook his expression and hurried to fly towards that area according to Qin Ming’s instructions.
When Qin Ming went to find Hua Tianxiong, he had actually discovered the Demonic Path Cultivators lurking in secret long ago.
He also did not expect that the people of the Yin Demon Sect would be so persistent.
Hua Tianxiong had his own important items, and it was not easy to refine the Black Talisman to make him his puppet.
Naturally, he could not watch him fall into the hands of the Demonic Path.
Qin Ming’s gaze was sharp, and he had been observing in secret for a long time.
“Confirming that there are only two Demonic Path Golden Cores, and no other help.”
“Then it’s easy.”
After a moment.
Hua Tianxiong was drenched in sweat, and he drove his Precious Carriage to the mountains nearby, which was located at the junction with the Beast Howl Mountains.
If he went deeper, it would be the territory of the Demon Race.
Fortunately, he had this Third Rank, High-Grade flying vehicle, or else it would have been dicey.
Shuhuo.
Hua Tianxiong only felt that his vision was blurred, and Qin Ming’s figure suddenly appeared inside his Precious Carriage.
It was almost silent, and even he did not realize how it appeared.
Qin Ming’s arrival made his hanging heart relax a lot.
‘Fortunately, Master did not disregard my Life-Saving’
Hua Tianxiong knew Qin Ming’s terrifying strength, and he had three Three-Headed Demon King-level Spirit Pets under his command.
‘Although those two Demon Cultivators looked sinister and terrifying, with Master’s strength, they should be able to resist them, right?’
Just as Hua Tianxiong was lost in thought and full of emotion, Qin Ming threw him into the Little Spirit Realm.
“You stay inside.”
“I’ll handle the outside matter.”
Immediately, Qin Ming unleashed the True Demon Illusion, and a distorted Undulation surged on his body, instantly transforming into the appearance of ‘Hua Tianxiong’.
…
After a moment.
Old Demon Yan and Tian Wugong in the distance caught up.
When the two of them saw that Hua Tianxiong’s Precious Carriage was parked in place and did not move, they couldn’t help but stop as well.
The next moment.
They saw Hua Tianxiong, who was fat, slowly walk out of the Precious Carriage.
“What is your intention, that the two of you are pursuing me so relentlessly?”
Hua Tianxiong asked with a faint smile.
Tian Wugong of the Yin Demon Sect had a sinister gaze, and he said to him with a cold light: “Hua Tianxiong, when you challenged me at the auction house, you should have thought of this End, right?”
“Since you don’t drink a toast, you eat a forfeit, then I can only take the Seven Aperture Tribulation Flower from your corpse.”
“Oh? Your Excellency is so Certain to kill me?” Hua Tianxiong asked calmly and unconcerned.
When Tian Wugong of the Yin Demon Sect saw Hua Tianxiong acting so abnormally and having no fear, he couldn’t help but frown.
He also released his Divine Sense and scanned the area within a hundred miles, but there were no ambushes, only Hua Tianxiong alone.
Tian Wugong’s gaze turned cold, and the Magical Power of his Mid-Golden Core exploded. He had a Black Flame longsword in his hand, and after injecting Magical Power, the longsword grew in the wind, turning into a Black Streak, and slashing towards Hua Tianxiong.
Zheng!
The ‘Hua Tianxiong’ on the opposite side neither dodged nor evaded, and the corner of his Mouth hooked a subtle smile.
The Black Streak instantly cut through the Void, emitting a chilling, eerie aura, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated Hua Tianxiong’s body.
“Humph! So vulnerable.” Old Demon Yan, who was watching from the side with a cold eye, said with great Disdain.
Tian Wugong’s expression condensed, although the Mid-Golden Core was a crushing of cultivation realm against the Early Stage, it seemed a little too Abnormal.
“Wrong!”
The Hua Tianxiong figure that the demon sword penetrated, dispersed like water ripples, and then disappeared without a trace.
Before the two of them could react.
“Since that is the case, the two of you, also take my one sword.”
A sound suddenly rang out in the air.
Following that, the Hua Tianxiong that Qin Ming had transformed into, appeared in the sky. He had a White Bone Sword in his hand, and it was burning with White Light, it was the Nine Nether White Bone Sword of White Bone True Person.
A terrifying Power undulation spread out.
Qin Ming had completely removed the Mark left by White Bone True Person in the Nine Nether White Bone Sword and refined it during the previous time.
As soon as this sword was produced, Tian Wugong and Old Demon Yan of the Yin Demon Sect on the opposite side couldn’t help but be moved and said: “Top-Grade Magical Artifact!”
Qin Ming held the Nine Nether White Bone Sword and slashed towards the two demons on the opposite side.
White Light flickered.
In the air, several Streaks were instantly cut out, mixed with White Light.
“Ah!”
Tian Wugong let out a Wailing, and one of his arms flew up.
With only the power of one sword, even his Magical Power Shield and Defensive Magical Artifact were cut in half.
At the same time.
Old Demon Yan also found something was amiss. He hurriedly took out a Crimson triangular Order Flag, which actually blocked Qin Ming’s one sword.
“Damn it, this isn’t Early-Stage Golden Core?”
“Didn’t they say that Hua Tianxiong of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company was a Waste?”
“Tian Wugong, don’t die, I’ve lost a lot of money by taking your order! I have to add money!”
Following that.
A powerful aura appeared in front of the two of them.
Qin Ming looked at the triangular red Order Flag in Old Demon Yan’s hand and couldn’t help but let out a light “Yi?”, “What is this Magical Artifact?”
“It can actually block my one sword.”
Old Demon Yan was both shocked and angry, and he immediately made a hand seal and shouted angrily, “So President Hua is hiding so deep, and actually has a Top-Grade Magical Artifact in his hand.”
“If that’s the case, then let’s see if my Vermilion Bird Banner is more powerful, or your Bone Sword is superior!”
“Tian Wugong, if you’re not dead, then join forces.”
The next moment.
Old Demon Yan waved the Vermilion Bird Banner in his hand, and in an instant, a destructive aura emanated from it.
Li!
Heavenly Fire descended and turned into a boundless Sea of Fire, sweeping towards Qin Ming.
At the same time, Tian Wugong, whose arm had been severed by the Nine Nether White Bone Sword, had a sinister expression and again activated a Demonic Treasure to attack Qin Ming.
“This Vermilion Bird Banner is also a Top-Grade Magical Artifact!”
Qin Ming also discovered some Clues, a look of solemnity appeared on his expression, and then he activated the Glazed Treasure Armor to protect his whole body.
The boundless Flames, in an instant, engulfed and devoured his whole person.
Old Demon Yan had extremely strong Confidence in his own Natal Magical Artifact.
The Vermilion Bird Banner, as a Top-Grade Magical Artifact, was something he obtained after experiencing nine deaths and a lifetime in a Secret Realm, and after many years of cultivating and nurturing with the Pill Fire, its power was indeed very powerful.
Just as Old Demon Yan thought he had succeeded in one strike.
An extremely ominous feeling of Heart Palpitations suddenly surged into his heart.
In Fate, there was a feeling of Disaster is Imminent!
Puff!
But before he could react, several black Thorns strangely emerged from the Void, piercing through his chest and back.
“Uh, this…”
Old Demon Yan, as an Old Monster who had been running rampant in the Demonic Path for many years, naturally had many Life-Saving means.
He saw himself chanting words and unleashing a Secret Technique, turning into a Black Mist, and instantly escaping the attack of the black Thorns.
What replaced the black Thorns was a mass of black blood clots.
Old Demon Yan was forced to unleash the Secret Art, and the Price was also quite high. At this moment, his whole person was as pale as paper, and his figure staggered away into the distance.
Just then.
A ripple rippled in the air, and the figure of the Heaven Devouring Rat suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking Old Demon Yan’s path.
Before he could see clearly.
He saw a Black Mysterious Light spewing out of the Heaven Devouring Rat’s mouth, enveloping the entire space, and the powerful aura of a Third-Rank Mid-Level Demon King erupted violently!
As the Forbidden Severing Profound Light swept through, Old Demon Yan was shocked to find that his whole body’s Magical Power was actually Imprisoned.
Being in this space, it was like falling into a quagmire, and his figure was sluggish and unable to move at all.
The figure of the Heaven Devouring Rat disappeared into the Void and reappeared, and in its hand was a Black Steel Fork, emitting a terrifying Power, sweeping across!
Shua!
Old Demon Yan’s head flew high.
Puff!
Fresh Blood spurted out from the headless corpse, like rain.
The Heaven Devouring Rat shrunk its body, its gaze was sharp, and it picked up the Vermilion Bird Order Flag from Old Demon Yan’s corpse, shook it, and shouted excitedly: “What a good Treasure! It’s for This Grandpa! Hehe!”
On the other side.
Tian Wugong, who was frantically fleeing, saw Old Demon Yan die and the Dissipation of the Dao in a short time, and realized that he had kicked a steel plate today, and he felt bitter.
His face was full of madness, and he still wanted to make a final Struggle.
He sacrificed several Demonic Treasures with powerful power from his Storage Bag and Self-Destructed them.
But the next moment, a White Light flashed.
The Nine Nether White Bone Sword, with the Crushing force, swept through the explosion of the demonic artifact, and chopped Tian Wugong in half from the middle.
The corpse fell dejectedly from the sky.
Qin Ming raised his hand and unleashed the Thorn Technique, turning the two corpses into Blood Bead, and also capturing their Storage Bag.
Then he popped out a Fireball to Destroy Corpse and Eliminate Traces. With one set of procedures, it was incredibly smooth and fluid.
Nothing else, only skilled.
After doing all of this, Qin Ming entered the Little Spirit Realm.
He saw Hua Tianxiong was in a state of unease inside, strolling back and forth.
At this time.
When Hua Tianxiong saw another ‘himself’ walked in, he couldn’t help but almost drop his jaw in shock.
“You are…”
Qin Ming immediately unleashed the True Demon Illusion, and with a change of his body, he restored to the appearance of Shopkeeper Lu.
“Ah? Greetings, Master!”
Hua Tianxiong bowed tremblingly, and then took out the Seven Aperture Tribulation Flower and the Divine Wood Pill Recipe, and respectfully handed them to Qin Ming.
“This is what you want.”
Qin Ming’s expression was calm, he accepted the two items and nodded with satisfaction, “You did well, you can go out.”
“Then the Demon Cultivators outside…” Hua Tianxiong hesitated.
After all, it had only been less than half an incense stick, and he had witnessed with his own eyes that the two Demon Cultivators were at least at the Mid-Golden Core cultivation.
“I have already handled them.” Qin Ming said.
Hua Tianxiong was immediately shocked when he heard this, and even though he knew that his Master’s strength was great, he said he was a little Disbelief.
At this time.
The figure of the Heaven Devouring Rat also appeared, and it was holding a Vermilion Bird Order Flag in its hand, shaking it with joy.
Hua Tianxiong’s eyes suddenly shrank upon seeing this.
“Isn’t this the famous Magical Artifact ‘Vermilion Bird Banner’ of Old Demon Yan?”
Now, Hua Tianxiong completely believed it.
He also knew the goods; Old Demon Yan was relying on this Top-Grade Magical Artifact to make a great Name in Great Jin.
He didn’t expect to be defeated here today.
“Vermilion Bird Banner?”
“What? You recognize this Treasure? Quickly tell This Grandpa.” The Heaven Devouring Rat immediately became interested and asked him in a domineering tone.
Hua Tianxiong’s fat all over trembled, and he put on a smiling face and said:
“Hehe, I only know a little.”
“It is said that this Vermilion Bird Banner is one of the Five Elements Flags, and Old Demon Yan was fortunately able to obtain a Treasure from a certain Secret Realm more than a hundred years ago.”
“Legend has it that the Five Elements Flags are a set of Top-Grade Magical Artifacts. If all the Order Flags are gathered, they will indeed have Inconceivable Power, Destroy the Heavens and Earth, and Move Mountains and Fill Seas will not be a problem.”
After the Heaven Devouring Rat heard it, its eyes lit up, and it was even more fond of the Vermilion Bird Banner.
It also looked at Qin Ming with Expectation and asked, “Master, this Vermilion Bird Banner. Can I use it?”
Qin Ming pondered for a moment, and seeing that the Heaven Devouring Rat liked the item very much, he nodded, “Alright, you can use it.”
“Thank you for the Reward, Master! Eh Heh Heh!”
The Heaven Devouring Rat was overjoyed when it heard this, and immediately opened its mouth to swallow the Vermilion Bird Banner and ran to a distant place to refine the Magical Artifact.
“Uh, Master, then this junior will take my leave.” Hua Tianxiong said, “I will listen to Master’s Dispatch anytime in the future.”
“Well, I will contact you if I need you to Handle Affairs.”
…
Afterward, the space outside was distorted, and a Ripple undulated.
Hua Tianxiong’s figure returned to the outside world, and he wiped the false sweat on his forehead, and released his Divine Sense to observe the surroundings.
Indeed, he did not see the trace of the enemy.
Shuhuo.
A golden Escape Light flew towards him, and the Brilliance dispersed, revealing the figure of the Golden Core offering of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company.
When he saw Hua Tianxiong was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a Sigh of Relief and hurried forward to ask, “President Hua, are you alright?”
“Cough! I’m fine.”
“Just mere Demon Cultivators, I used a small trick, and I sent them away.”
“Let’s go, Enshrinement Xu, let’s go back to the Merchant Guild.”
Hua Tianxiong’s calm and unconcerned voice came from the Precious Carriage.
Enshrinement Xu looked doubtful, but he scanned the surroundings and didn’t find any Anomaly.
Just now, Enshrinement Xu was trapped in the Demonic Path formation, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape.
But for some reason, the formation seemed to have lost Control and suddenly disappeared.
Enshrinement Xu was worried about Hua Tianxiong’s Safety, and immediately rushed over here.
Along the way, he also destroyed those Demonic Path Disciples.
But when he arrived in a hurry, he found that Hua Tianxiong was waiting here as if nothing had happened.
Enshrinement Xu was Elder Qian of the Li Fire Palace, arranged beside Hua Tianxiong, and responsible for monitoring his every move.
Hua Tianxiong was absolutely not allowed to have any slip-ups.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Elder Qian to account for it.
…
In the Little Spirit Realm.
Qin Ming took out the Seven Aperture Tribulation Flower, and a joyful expression appeared on his face, “Nascent Soul Spirit Item! Seven Aperture Tribulation Flower, I didn’t expect it to be in hand so soon.”
“However, I still need to cultivate and plant it, and Accelerate Ripening it for more than a thousand years.”
“As for the Pill Recipe of the ‘Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill’, I think Su Yuqing should have it, right?”
“Since I have already come to Great Jin, it is also time to go and see Brother Su, after all, we haven’t seen each other for decades.”
Su Yuqing, who was both a teacher and a friend to him, Qin Ming still missed him.
He put away the Jade Box of the Seven Aperture Tribulation Flower, and took out the Ancient Pill Recipe, and released his Divine Sense to examine it.
“This Divine Wood Pill, as a Third Rank, High-Grade Spirit Pill, has a great effect on improving the cultivation Magical Power in the Mid-Late Stage Golden Core.”
“Main Ingredient, Third Stage Ground Core Lapis Lazuli Flower, Phoenix Blood Fruit, Demonic Yuan Ground Root…”
Qin Ming glanced over it, and there were as many as five or six Main Ingredient for refining the Divine Wood Pill, and some Spirit Materials were also the Ancient Spirit Grass that had become Extinct in the Cultivation World.
“Although these Spirit Materials are hard to find, as long as I find the Spirit Seed, I can also plant them again, and this Divine Wood Pill may not be impossible to refine.”
“Perhaps, there are other substitute items as well, I will ask when I see Brother Su.”
Qin Ming also examined the Storage Bags of Tian Wugong and Old Demon Yan of the Yin Demon Sect.
What made him speechless was that the Black Flame Evil Feather Fan Magical Artifact was taken by Tian Wugong.
At this moment, after going around in a circle, it returned to his hands again.
The Spirit Stones in the Storage Bags of the two of them also had hundreds of thousands, and Qin Ming made a small fortune again.
As for those Demonic Path Magical Artifacts and Demonic Skills, Qin Ming also looked down upon them.
The only one that could catch his eye, the Vermilion Bird Banner, was taken away by the Heaven Devouring Rat.
Qin Ming thought of this, and walked towards the place where the Heaven Devouring Rat was.
He saw that it had already completely refined this Top-Grade Magical Artifact after only half a day of work.
At this moment, it was controlling the Vermilion Bird Banner and unleashing the Flames Divine Ability towards the open space.
As the Heaven Devouring Rat waved the Order Flag in its hand.
Countless Heavenly Fire descended, turning into three orange-red Vermilion Birds, dancing in the sky, it was spectacular.
“You be careful of the fire, don’t burn down the Little Spirit Realm for me!”
Qin Ming watched from the side and reminded him.
The Heaven Devouring Rat immediately raised its hand and gestured, and the Vermilion Bird Flames in the sky were all gathered back into the Magical Artifact.
It said with a smile: “Master, with this Magical Artifact, my strength has increased again!”
“That old Demon Cultivator only mastered a little Fur, and didn’t exert its true Power.”
“The restriction inside the Magical Artifact has been completely broken by me.”
“I also got a Method for refining the other four Order Flags, which are the Azure Dragon Flag, the White Tiger Flag, the Black Tortoise Flag, and the Central Yellow Flag.”
“If all of the Five Elements Flags are obtained, it’s simply Invincible!”
Qin Ming: “.”
