Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Demon Path
“Go!”
Wang Ping shouted loudly, ready to break out with his companions.
However, at that moment, the Purple Robe man, who had been watching from the side, suddenly reached out his hand and pointed at him from afar.
The next second, Wang Ping felt dizzy, and multiple shadows appeared before his eyes.
Startled, he immediately bellowed, gathering his Qi and focusing his mind, his Qi-Blood bursting forth, and only then did he shatter the illusion in front of him.
But that moment of negligence had exposed a weakness, and his opponent, wielding a Nine-Ring Great Sword, scattered the newly gathered Red Qilin Power and slashed at him.
In a high-level duel, victory is often decided by a hair’s breadth.
Bang!!!
A companion timely used a shield to block the strike for Wang Ping.
On another front, seven or eight Senior believers of the Calming Sect in dark grey robes took out their Talisman Papers and attacked two other confirmed martial masters.
With their interference, the two confirmed martial masters were immediately injured by their opponents.
“Is it us you’re targeting?”
Wang Ping suddenly snapped back to reality, staring intently at the Purple Robe man.
The Purple Robe man laughed in response, “I’m not crazy. Killing so many inspectors and Rank A students of the Martial Arts Hall, what good would that do me?”
If hundreds of inspectors and dozens of Rank A students were killed, it would undoubtedly cause a shock, and then the entire Datong Prefecture, even the whole Feng Province, would target the Calming Sect.
So the Purple Robe man had never intended to kill those villagers who had fallen unconscious; his target was Wang Ping and the other three confirmed martial masters!
In addition, there were hundreds of Tiger Rifles, thousands of bullets, and over two hundred pieces of Anti-stabbing Clothes.
The total value of these items was already much higher than that of the altar of the Calming Sect.
“Do you intend to cultivate Devilish Martial Masters?”
Wang Ping’s voice trembled with panic for the first time.
Devilish Martial Masters!
Upon hearing these four words, Wang Ping’s three companions also showed signs of terror.
There were two methods for an Implant to absorb: one was to absorb the embryonic tissues of the Implant still in the initial stage and then start cultivating from scratch.
The other was to forcibly take the mature Implant tissues from other martial artists and then absorb them.
This latter method was a naked plunder; it was a bloody, cruel Demon Path!
The so-called Devilish Martial Master was someone who didn’t cultivate their own Implants but stole mature Implants from others, absorbing them into their bodies through demonic practices, and in doing so, bypassed the Embryo Cultivation Stage and Body Breaking Stage.
Although this method of cultivation was fast, it was against human nature and carried great risks; neither the court nor the righteous forces in the World could tolerate Devilish Martial Masters, and they were to be killed on sight!
Since the goal of the Calming Sect was the four confirmed martial masters, it was very likely they aimed to cultivate Devilish Martial Masters.
Knowing they would face a fate worse than death if they were captured by Devilish Martial Masters, Wang Ping and his companions felt their hearts race and began to fight desperately.
The Purple Robe man did not reply to Wang Ping but disturbed his mind again through casting.
This time, the Refining Strength Martial Master wielding the Nine-Ring Great Sword did not seize the chance to attack but instead retreated.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
Gunfire sounded intensively again when a believer picked up a dropped Eagle Strike II Rifle from the ground and started shooting at Wang Ping and his companions.
Wang Ping sensed the danger immediately and tried to dodge, but he was still shot.
He attempted to rush up and kill the shooting believers, but the one wielding the Nine-Ring Great Sword attacked again.
Although his opponent was weaker than him, with the aid of a Mage, he was repeatedly threatened, and if it weren’t for his companions’ help, he would have been injured long ago.
The situation grew increasingly dire as more and more Calming Sect followers collected the inspectors’ Tiger Rifles from under the hill and rushed towards them.
With the Warlock Mage assisting on the side, the Refining Strength Martial Master standing in the front line, and several dozens of believers threatening with rifles, Wang Ping and his companions completely lost their chance to break out.
Soon, a confirmed martial master was disturbed by a Calming Talisman, and his opponent seized the opportunity to injure his leg. The opponent retreated to avoid, and surrounding believers opened fire.
This confirmed martial master was eventually hit by more than twenty bullets, depleted of Qi-Blood, and could no longer resist the effects of the Calming Talisman, falling deeply asleep.
After the first man fell, the Calming Sect could concentrate their effort on the remaining three.
Thus, soon a second person fell, then a third.
Wang Ping was the strongest, so he was left for last.
He glanced at his three captured companions, and despair filled his eyes.
Finally, he fiercely crushed his own heart with one palm!
He would rather die than fall into the hands of a Devilish Martial Master.
“What a pity.”
The man in the Purple Robe looked at the suicidal Wang Ping and shook his head regretfully.
When a martial artist was alive, the Implant in their body was most valuable.
However, a corpse could also be used. The man in the Purple Robe turned to a Refining Strength Martial Master holding a Nine-Ring Great Sword:
“Would you trouble Gang Leader Yu to help freeze his body?”
Upon hearing this, the other party walked over to Wang Ping’s side, aimed his palm at the corpse, and a burst of cold air erupted, quickly forming a layer of frost on the surface of the body.
“Thank you.”
The man in the Purple Robe smiled and greeted him.
“Don’t forget to kill those few people we need to eliminate.”
The masked Refining Strength Martial Master looked down at the Village below and spoke.
“Of course, it’s just a trivial matter.”
The man in the Purple Robe walked over to him, and they both looked down at the Village below:
“After this battle, Lu Sheng will definitely not advance any further. As the Inspector General, Huang Weiguang must bear the blame and is likely to be dismissed early. Any plans he had are doomed to fail. Not only will your people have the chance to advance, but they will also eliminate Lu Sheng, a formidable adversary, by placing agents in one squad. In the end, all the hatred will be drawn towards our Calming Sect. Master Zhang really is cunning.”
“Sect Hierarch Zhao is also making a fortune this time, isn’t he?”
The masked man in the black robe turned to look at him.
“Hahaha, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”
Calming Sect’s Sect Hierarch Zhao Yu smiled and extended his hand.
The masked man in the black robe didn’t shake his hand and turned to leave directly.
The other two masked Refining Strength Martial Masters followed him.
Zhao Yu chuckled, unconcerned:
“Let’s go, let’s tidy up, and prepare to leave as well.”
He led his people down the hillside and towards the Village.
“Sect Hierarch, firearms, ammunition, Anti-stabbing Clothes, and sidearms, we have already taken them all.”
Soon, a subordinate reported to Zhao Yu.
“Hmm.”
Zhao Yu nodded, “Have you found those few people that the Tiger Saber Gang specifically wanted us to kill?”
“Sect Hierarch, we found the one named Lu Changwu, but we couldn’t find the one named Li Fei.”
“What happened, wasn’t this person with them when they came?”
“Sect Hierarch, the brothers below reported that someone from the Village suddenly jumped out and ran out from the west side. Our people couldn’t stop him.”
“Oh?”
Zhao Yu frowned.
His attention had been entirely on Wang Ping and the others before, and all his elite forces were gathered on the eastern hillside; it was normal for someone to escape from the west.
“Why was this person able to quickly shake off the influence of the Calming Technique and awaken from unconsciousness? Is this person the Li Fei that the Tiger Saber Gang specifically wanted to kill?”
Zhao Yu shook his head, choosing not to think about it further.
He would leave the headache to the Tiger Saber Gang.
“Kill Lu Changwu and randomly kill a few students and inspectors.”
Zhao Yu ordered casually.
“Yes!”
The subordinate turned to execute the orders.
Soon, a believer of the Calming Sect approached the unconscious Lu Changwu with a knife in hand.
The pistol Lu Sheng had sent for Lu Changwu had already been taken away. Before he passed out suddenly, he was thinking about how he could finally obtain the Rank A enhancement Elixir upon his return because of his performance.
Swhoosh—
A knife plunged into his chest.
