Chapter 120 Zhou Ling Unleashes His Power (Please Subscribe)

"Congratulations, Brother Ling, on successfully obtaining the Blood Lotus!"

After Zhou Ling subdued the Golden Fire Crow, he had it deliver an order, and the remaining Blood Crows scattered and fled.

He Zijian, panting and looking rather disheveled, congratulated Zhou Ling.

Although his heavy sword was quite powerful, it was a bit of a waste to deal with these flocks of blood crows.

On the contrary, it consumed a lot of energy.

At this moment, the brother and sister looked at Zhou Ling with expressions of surprise.

In He Zijian's view, Zhou Ling was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and was a rogue disciple. To become a first-grade inscription master, he must have spent most of his time on inscription.

It didn't have much combat power, but it was surprisingly able to shoot down the Blood Raven King.

Similarly, He Lingyun patted her chest, her face filled with fear.

Although she had a real-world experience yesterday, her confidence and experience had both improved significantly.

But the crisis she faced just now, when confronted with the Blood Raven, was one she had never encountered before.

She knew the nature of these blood crows; once surrounded by them, escape would be extremely difficult.

But Zhou Ling resolved the crisis in no time.

It really surprised her.

She couldn't help but recall the time Zhou Ling shielded her from the beast fire, and she couldn't help but feel that Zhou Ling still made her feel quite safe.

Seeing He Zijian about to put away his heavy sword, Zhou Ling hurriedly said, "Brother He, those blood crows were probably deliberately disturbed by someone."

We need to be careful!

[Three cultivators are lurking nearby; crisis response +1].

At this point, the [Crisis Response] indicator also provides a prompt.

This made him dare not be careless in the slightest.

After the battle with the Blood Raven, both He Zijian and Haoyang Bird were quite exhausted.

Golden Fire Crow was seriously injured by the lightning fireball and looked extremely weak. Zhou Ling was worried about whether it could survive.

But I can't worry about that now, so I just threw it into the medicine basket.

If they can't survive, so be it; the Blood Raven crisis has already been resolved.

I don't have much interest in taming beasts myself.

If the Golden Raven is also a glutton like the Rock Rat, then it will eventually eat itself out of house and home!

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, He Zijian and his sister immediately scanned their surroundings warily.

Then He Zijian's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply, "Watch out!"

With that, he slashed his heavy sword through the air.

The next second, there were two clanging sounds.

Two cold beams of light were seen being slashed down to the ground.

They turned out to be two sharp daggers.

A faint, eerie light shimmered on the blade, clearly indicating that it had been coated with some kind of potent poison.

Zhou Ling possessed a "crisis response" ability, moving with incredible speed, and dodged the cold glint in a flash.

The cold light struck the nearby rock face directly, sparking fire before finally landing on the ground.

In a dark forest, three figures, barely visible, gradually became clearer. Three burly men dressed in different clothes leaped towards them quickly.

It was the same three rogue cultivators they had encountered yesterday.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect these three guys to be so young, yet so experienced!"

"No wonder they were able to deal with that flock of blood crows!"

The leader of the rogue cultivators looked at He Zijian and his two companions and sneered with surprise.

The three of them secretly followed them yesterday and discovered that He Zijian and his group consisted of only three people, with no other Xuan Ting guards following them.

He immediately had the idea of ​​killing and robbing.

After all, judging from the clothes worn by He Zijian and his sister, they were definitely easy targets.

He must have a lot of valuables on him.

Moreover, as they followed them along the way, they witnessed Haoyang Bird and He Lingyun kill three late-stage first-tier demonic beasts.

Although they were surprised by Haoyang Bird's combat power, it made them even more eager to attack.

The value of these three demonic beast corpses alone could fetch several hundred spirit stones.

As for the Xuan Ting Guards, they were naturally afraid, but these three were not very old, and their cultivation was not low.

But only He Zijian and Haoyang Bird made them worry.

That's why they made a sound while Zhou Ling was collecting the Blood Lotus, luring out the Blood Crows.

Even if these three teenagers defeat Blood Raven this time, they will definitely be greatly exhausted.

They could easily take it down.

"You dare to lay a hand on the Xuan Ting Guards? You've got some nerve!"

Staring at the three of them, He Zijian shouted warily.

He had just exhausted nearly 40% of his spiritual power dealing with the Blood Raven, and he had to be cautious when facing three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

If it came to dealing with one of them, he would have no problem at all.

However, Haoyang Bird has already expended a lot of energy, and Zhou Ling is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Clearly, he doesn't have much of a chance against the other two.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is not suitable for human cultivators. Even with the help of the Void Yuan Seal, it will take him some time to recover.

"Hand over all your storage bags and magical artifacts, and I'll spare your lives!"

The scarred man smirked and said coldly.

If he's afraid of the Xuan Ting Guards, then he wouldn't dare to engage in this treacherous cultivation activity!
He Zijian's expression darkened, and he raised his heavy sword, saying indifferently, "Get out of here right now!"

"What a majesty!"

Scarface laughed in fury, a black knife appearing in his hand. He swung it straight at He Zijian, shouting, "I'll kill you, Xuan Ting Guard, today, to vent my anger after all these years of hiding!"

"Second brother, you deal with that monster. Third brother, you take care of that kid!"

"Quick victory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two men also pounced on He Lingyun and Zhou Ling respectively.

With a cry, the Haoyang Bird unleashed its demonic power and slammed its claws directly at the black-clad man called Lao Er.

Although the cost is considerable, the environment here is extremely beneficial for its recovery.

So, to some extent, it still has some fighting power.

At the same time, He Lingyun also manipulated her magic sword to slash downwards, assisting Haoyang Bird in dealing with the man in black.

"Little sister, Brother Ling, be careful. Just hold on for a moment, and I'll deal with this man and then help you!"

He Zijian also suddenly swung his greatsword and slashed at the opponent, shouting to He Lingyun and Zhou Ling at the same time.

"Boom!"

The greatsword and the black blade clashed, producing a series of loud, explosive sounds.

The light on the black blade dimmed instantly, and sparks flew from the blade, revealing a bright notch.

"A magical artifact!"

The scarred man's expression changed; his hand throbbed with pain, and a look of panic crossed his face amidst his fear.

His thick black blade was merely a high-grade magic weapon, utterly incapable of contending with the heavy sword in He Zijian's hand.

He Zijian shouted sharply. In order to finish the battle quickly, he mobilized 30% of his spiritual power and poured it into the sword. The next moment, the aura of the heavy sword surged, and strands of lightning flashed.

"boom!"

The next moment, the scarred man's black knife flew out of his hand, and he was forced back several feet.

"Second brother, third brother, let's finish this quickly and give me a hand!"

The scarred man's robes shimmered with light, blocking He Zijian's thunderous sword light, and he shouted at the two of them.

His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the heavy sword.

A spirit sword is a huge fortune. As long as these three are killed, they can leave Lingxia Immortal City immediately.

This gain alone is enough for them to live a comfortable life for a while!
"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The other two immediately responded. "Kid, just accept your fate!"

Upon hearing Scarface's plea for help, the burly third brother didn't hesitate. A sharp, gleaming blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed down fiercely at Zhou Ling.

Of the three, Zhou Ling had the lowest cultivation level.

For him, a child at the fifth level of Qi Refining was a matter of one strike.

This strike was swift and powerful, like a force of nature breaking through the enemy's defenses.
But Zhou Ling remained calm and unmoved.

[You are observing the Black Light Blade, Intermediate Observation +1]

[You are analyzing the Black Light Blade, Intermediate Analysis +1]

With the observation and analysis of the two talents, traces of the opponent's blade light quickly appeared in Zhou Ling's mind.

He knew the trajectory and force of every cut perfectly.

When the blade's edge was less than half a zhang away from him, Zhou Ling suddenly stretched out his hand and, to the other party's bewildered gaze, instantly condensed three fire bolts of different colors.

The three fireballs were about the size of a palm, flashing with flames and lightning.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Heat waves surged, lightning flashed, and the first fiery thunderbolt blasted the blade's edge away with pinpoint accuracy.

In an instant, the sharp knife was knocked from the strong man's hand.

"You...you can actually cast a lightning fireball instantly!"

The burly man said with an incredulous look on his face.

Generally speaking, this kind of secret technique has five stages: beginner, proficient, minor mastery, major mastery, and perfection.

For a spell to be activated instantly, it is only possible to reach the state of perfection.

This requires at least a decade of arduous practice to achieve.

Perhaps only those veteran late-stage Qi Refining cultivators could do that.

But the boy in front of me looks so young, he doesn't look more than twelve years old.
But he has already mastered the Thunderfire Technique to the Great Perfection?

And judging from his attire, he's clearly a disciple of the Medicine Master!
How can this be?

Caught off guard by the two other lightning and fireballs hurtling towards him, he could only quickly activate the defense of his robe.

Instantly, a white defensive light shield condensed in front of him.

"Boom!"

Two loud bangs rang out, and the strong man was blasted away, his face covered in burns.

His robes were dull and lifeless, practically unusable.

He looked extremely shocked and angry.

This robe was something he had worked so hard to get, and now it's ruined!

But before he could even regain his composure...

"go!"

Zhou Ling let out another fierce shout, and three more lightning fireballs slammed into him.

"No!"

Having just witnessed the power of the lightning fireballs, the man cried out in surprise and unleashed his full power to block the three lightning fireballs.

"Boom!"

This time, Zhou Ling condensed beast flames to unleash a lightning fireball, making it far more powerful than the lightning fireball unleashed by the Five Elements Spirit Flame earlier.

Accompanied by three loud roars, streaks of fire and lightning flashed.

Before the burly man could even scream, his entire body was blasted apart, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Killed on the spot.

"The third one!"

"How can it be!"

In just a few breaths, the third brother, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, was actually killed by a youth at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The other two cultivators let out incredulous shouts.

"Boss, these guys are tough, let's get out of here!"

Upon seeing this, the second brother was terrified and unleashed a fireball spell, forcing the Haoyang Bird back.

Then, disregarding his leader, he quickly dashed into the jungle on his own.

At this moment, he had no desire to continue fighting.

The next moment, a red light flashed in Zhou Ling's hand, and a streak of flame streaked across the sky, slashing down towards the fleeing man in black.

The man instantly sensed a great threat and swung his black knife to block the stream of flames.

But then, with a bang...

As the fiery sword struck, the black blade snapped in two.

The black-clad man's head was severed by the Fiery Sword.

His body swayed, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

[You are currently practicing the Azure Gang Sword Technique. Sword Control +1, Azure Gang Sword Technique Proficiency +1]

"this!"

Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, not expecting the sword to be so powerful.

The reason he disregarded the cost and insisted on killing the enemy was because...

The main problem is that these cultivators pose a huge threat to the medicine-seeking team.

If things go wrong, Chu Xing and his medicine-hunting team will run into them, and they will definitely be no match for them.

Therefore, he also planned to take the opportunity to eliminate these few cultivators who had been afflicted by the tribulations.

Seeing this, He Zijian and his sister were both shocked.

No one expected Zhou Ling to have such terrifying combat power!

He Lingyun, who was panting heavily, looked at Zhou Ling, who was displaying great power, and suddenly felt that this young man made her feel safer.

"Brother Ling, well done!"

He Zijian laughed heartily and praised Zhou Ling for resolving the two issues so quickly.

He will feel no pressure at this time.

Moreover, he couldn't let go of this boss, otherwise he would lose face.

He channeled all his magical power into the greatsword.

Rumble!
The greatsword flashed with lightning!

"No!"

Scarface never expected things to turn out this way.

His internal magical power surged, and his entire body retreated rapidly.

But then He Zijian shouted, "Thunder Sword Technique! Slash!"

With a roar, the heavy sword crashed down, lightning flashing and the blade dazzling.

In an instant, sand and stones flew, thunderclouds rolled, and the scar was swept up in them.

Scarface unleashed all his magic and activated the magic robes on his body.

A massive defensive light shield, over ten feet long, was formed in the hope of blocking the giant thunder sword.

But this was a sword strike unleashed by He Zijian at full power.

In his hand was a spirit sword of considerable power.

Among Qi Refining cultivators, few could withstand such power.

And for a cultivator of the Tribulation Realm to block it would be extremely difficult.

next moment.

Rumble!
As the sword's edge swept past, a desperate scream rang out. Scarface had no chance to dodge and was instantly reduced to dust in the thunderous sword light!
Three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour!
Seeing Scarface killed with a single sword strike, He Zijian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Zhou Ling became more respectful.

I originally thought Zhou Ling was just a weapon refiner, but I didn't expect his combat power to be so formidable!
