Chapter 173: Formless Sword Qi

This loud sound, like a bell ringing, exploded in the hearts of everyone present. Everyone's spirits shook, and when they looked at the cultivators of the Great Principle Alliance again, there was an uncontrollable expression of fear and dread in their eyes.

Who would have thought that Zheng Yi would suddenly make a move, disregarding the reputation of the Qin family and the Golden Palace Sect? In front of everyone's eyes, he killed Qin Wufeng, the highly respected third elder of the Qin family, as easily as crushing an ant.

This Great Principle Alliance seems to be composed of lunatics. They are too brutal in their actions and expansion. Originally, it was thought that the reason for the mixed quality of the lower-level cultivators, but now it seems that from top to bottom, this is the tradition of the entire Great Principle Alliance.

Either don't do anything, or do it to the extreme.

Such people, such forces, are rarely seen even in the demonic sects. Who wouldn't be extremely fearful of them?

As soon as they met, they killed each other's core family members, and they were the esteemed third elder. This kind of method, this kind of eruption, completely pushed the situation towards an endless battle.

The Qin family, formed by blood ties, will definitely not give up easily.

"Third brother!"

Suddenly, an incredulous and angry shout came from nearby. A figure like lightning rushed over, enveloped in an invisible light of spiritual power, and charged towards the giant hand.

At this moment, this person seemed to be in a crimson flame, holding a flaming divine dragon spear. The power of the late Foundation Building stage was concentrated in his body, with his body as the dragon's head, transforming into a huge red fire dragon, fiercely piercing through.

As a member of the Qin family, this person rushing over was not reckless. In the instant Qin Wufeng fell, the opponent's powerful soul power had already locked onto his body. He knew he couldn't escape.

Now, with a desperate strike, the purpose was obvious. He wanted to create an opportunity for the surviving members of the family to escape in this desperate situation.

Otherwise, not only Qin Wufeng, but everyone in the Qin family would die.

Clang!

A loud metallic collision sounded. As the furious dragon spear swept over, carrying extreme flames and burning heat, the spear tip, sharp as if it could pierce through space, was accurately struck by the big thumb of the hand.

Instantly, a terrifying power erupted, and the sky was filled with a huge mushroom cloud of fire. The fiery dragon let out a mournful roar as it was completely torn apart. At the same time, the incredibly sharp spear returned without success and fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

Immediately, the Qin family elder, who had unleashed an overwhelming momentum, spewed blood crazily and was violently slapped away, leaving a trail of blood stains along the way, unable to help but let out a painful cry.

In the sky, the giant palm continued to chase forward.

The member of the Qin family also couldn't help but change his expression. Although he was in a state of rage, the rationality in his mind prevented him from continuing to act recklessly. With a foot stomping in mid-air, his figure was about to rush straight towards a distant place to escape from here.

"All members of the Qin family, retreat!"

However, before he could finish speaking, just as his words fell, a violent wind like the end of the world came from behind, followed by an irresistible force that struck him from behind.

With a "pu" sound, the person didn't even have time to utter a word before his body turned into a pile of flesh, bursting in the air.

"Quickly leave this place, it's about to change!"

Elder Qin Wufeng, one of the three elders of the Qin family, and Elder Qin Juedou, one of the four elders, died here. The Qin family is going crazy, and it is very likely to attract the Violet Palace cultivators from the Jinque Sect. If we don't leave now, we will become targets caught in the crossfire between the two sides. It's better to leave this place of dispute first.

Looking at the Independent Cultivators and scouts on the battlefield from afar, who would have expected such a turn of events?

Have the powerhouses of the Great Principle Alliance gone mad? Regardless of whether that final big hand was personally made by Zheng Yi, the leader of the Great Principle Alliance, the attack was so ruthless that it was clear there was no intention to hold back. The target was clearly to kill.

They all fled in panic. No one expected that as soon as the battle started, the Qin family would lose two important figures. The Great Principle Alliance seemed like a madman, charging in without any regard, directly killing two important members of the Qin family. Once the Qin family receives the news, won't they seek revenge?

"Everyone, run for your lives!"

The remaining cultivators of the Qin family were also frightened.

Seeing the tragic scene in the field, Qin Wufeng and Qin Juedou's bodies couldn't even be found. The Foundation Building Stage cultivators knew that the situation was lost, and whether they could escape with their lives was unknown. They couldn't help but shout and directly lead the way to flee into the distance.

With the power of that terrifying big hand, Qin Wufeng and Elder Qin Juedou of the Qin family were annihilated with just one encounter. If they were determined to bully the weak, none of them would be able to return alive.

The strength displayed by the other party was truly terrifying.

Suddenly, the momentum of the Qin family suffered a heavy blow. Everyone was only concerned with escaping, and the originally evenly matched battle completely tilted towards the Great Principle Alliance.

Seeing that the huge palm that made the mysterious attack was on their side, the cultivators of the Great Principle Alliance became spirited and angrily chased after them, intending to leave all the Qin family cultivators behind.

"The invisibility talisman is indeed effective!"

Zheng Yi was actually not far away, relying on the power of the Golden Saint Beetle's invisibility talisman hidden within his physical acupoints, he deceived everyone.

Then he suddenly made a move, killing Qin Wufeng, the third elder of the Qin family, and Qin Juedou, the fourth elder. This would definitely attract the Qin family's retaliation, but since they had already formed an irreconcilable enmity, Zheng Yi didn't care about the Qin family's revenge.

As for the Jinque Sect, they naturally had the support of their ally, the Nine Yin Temple.

Anyway, as long as no one saw him make a move, he would not admit it even if the Qin family was certain it was him.

Even if the Qin family was determined, without evidence, Zheng Yi would not admit it.

Anyway, at worst, they would argue with each other. Who could prove that he killed Qin Wufeng and the others?

Looking at the advancing battle line, Zheng Yi was already satisfied with such results. He wouldn't make any more moves to avoid being put in a passive position.

Zheng Yi silently followed behind the pursuing team, calmly and unhurriedly.

...

The collision between the Great Principle Alliance and the Qin family, as a major event happening in the surrounding area, once sparked heated discussions.

During this period, various factions and forces sent people to establish relationships with the Great Principle Alliance and gather information, but Zheng Yi had issued strict orders to keep everything secret. Everyone claimed ignorance when asked.

This became a mystery that the surrounding factions and families couldn't figure out.

However, it didn't prevent them from betting on both sides.

This is the tragedy of small families and small forces. They are like grass on the wall, switching sides, but not because they enjoy opportunistic actions.

However, when the tree wants to stop, the wind does not cease. Small family clans and small forces have no choice at all. Compared to powerful cultivation forces like the Great Principle Alliance or the Qin Family, they are at best chess pieces on the chessboard. Many times, without using their brains, they may be sacrificed as pawns.

After all, the world of demonic cultivation is cruel. When attacking, no one will show mercy.

This time, Zheng Yi suddenly made a move, causing great losses to the Qin Family cultivators. The third elder of the family, Qin Wufeng, and the fourth elder, Qin Jue, both perished on the spot.

The Great Principle Alliance took advantage of the situation and captured dozens of mines and a large amount of land from the Qin Family. Not only did they reclaim the original territory of the Xin Family, but they also advanced several hundred miles forward.

Just when everyone thought that the Great Principle Alliance would definitely pursue their victory and besiege the Qin Family's territory, unexpectedly, the Great Principle Alliance stopped pursuing and chose to stagnate.

They established a solid defense line with the Xin Family's territory as the boundary, setting up various defensive formations to ensure safety.

This move left everyone puzzled. They couldn't understand why, since both sides were already in a fight to the death, the Great Principle Alliance didn't take advantage of their victory to eliminate the Qin Family's remaining forces and prevent their counterattack.

Unfortunately, the purpose of the Great Principle Alliance's expedition this time was very clear. It was for the "Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine" discovered by the Xin Family. Since they had already taken it, other matters could be dealt with later.

After all, the Qin Family is a long-standing major clan with the Golden Que Sect as their backing. The Golden Que Sect can tolerate the Qin Family's major defeat, but they will never sit idly by and let the Great Principle Alliance destroy their vanguard.

There is another important reason: everything is focused on enhancing Zheng Yi's strength, and everything else is secondary.

Taking advantage of their great victory, the Great Principle Alliance swept the surrounding area and turned it into a forbidden zone, strictly guarding against external intrusions.

...

News quickly reached the headquarters of the Great Principle Alliance, and the entire alliance showed extremely excited emotions about this great victory.

After receiving the news, the Xin Family went to the newly built ancestral shrine to pay respects to their ancestors.

Xin Lingxian didn't say much, she directly put her efforts into serving Zheng Yi wholeheartedly.

In just a few days, Zheng Yi enjoyed the blessings of the Qi people!

However, soon, an incident broke the peaceful environment.

The Qin Family officially sent a request for help to the Golden Que Sect. In this war, the Qin Family suffered heavy losses. In addition to the third elder, Qin Wufeng, and the fourth elder, Qin Jue, three Foundation Building Stage cultivators also perished in the subsequent battles.

Suddenly, five Foundation Building Stage cultivators fell, and the strength of the family was almost halved. This was a heavy blow to the Qin Family.

Compared to the heavily damaged Qin Family, although the Great Principle Alliance also lost a Foundation Building Stage blood cultivator, their losses were within the normal range.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this war, due to Zheng Yi's sudden action, caused a fundamental change in the balance of power between the two forces.

The Great Principle Alliance, with overwhelming force, easily defeated the Qin Family and occupied almost half of their territory, angering the Golden Que Sect.

However, they were also disrupted by the Nine Yin Temple and couldn't provide much assistance to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Zheng Yi's strength was the strongest, sweeping away all the strong opponents with his Violet Palace-level battle power. This not only brought no benefits to the Qin Family's counterattack, but instead caused heavy losses. Even with the support of the Golden Que Sect, it still had no effect.

Although the Golden Que Sect is powerful, the Nine Yin Temple is not weak either. The strengths of the two sides are not much different and can offset each other. Therefore, the Great Principle Alliance only needs to deal with the Qin Family, giving them an absolute advantage.

If it weren't for Zheng Yi's unwillingness to expose too much of his strength, he could easily wipe out the Qin family.

But that would lead to the depletion of resources and hiding of talents, which is not Zheng Yi's choice.

As the saying goes, "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak." This is the right path.

After several rounds of struggle, it seems that the Jinque Sect is tired of this entanglement, while the Qin family is unable to launch an attack and can only retract their sharp fangs and secretly lick their wounds to recover.

Zheng Yi has achieved his goal of occupying the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine, so he does not want to provoke the Jinque Sect too much, in case they go all out to deal with the Great Principle Alliance.

Although the Great Principle Alliance has formed an alliance with the Nine Yin Temple, their relationship only exists for the sake of mutual interests. If the Jinque Sect wholeheartedly attacks the Great Principle Alliance, it is hard to say what the Nine Yin Temple's intentions will be.

Once the situation stabilizes, Qilin will arrange for the excavation of the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine.

In the short term, Zheng Yi plans to have Qilin oversee the work here and leave four Foundation Building Stage blood cultivators to protect his safety.

...

When Zheng Yi held a fist-sized Baiyi Sword Qi Stone in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

For this small piece of Sword Qi Stone, Zheng Yi has directly offended two forces, although he doesn't care.

Looking at this small piece of Baiyi Sword Qi Stone, feeling the cold light inside the silver-white stone, the indestructible sharpness, it proves that dealing with the Qin family is the right thing to do.

According to the agreement reached with the Nine Yin Temple, the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine is distributed in a 70-30 ratio, with the Nine Yin Temple taking 70% and the remaining 30% being sent to the Soul Devouring Sect's mountain gate.

In a secret room within the Soul Devouring Sect, there is a small pile of white stones in front of Zheng Yi, about forty to fifty pieces. Each piece is about the size of a baby's fist, so it doesn't look like much.

However, this is already 30% of the monthly output of the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine, which shows the preciousness of this Sword Qi Stone containing sword intent.

In the secret room, Zheng Yi's palm turned over, and the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd appeared in his hand. As a gourd famous for refining swords, it can refine sword intent and condense sword qi, and it is about to be used to refine these Baiyi Sword Qi Stones.

With a strange clang, Zheng Yi activated his technique, and the purple flames in the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd began to operate. The mouth of the gourd immediately emitted a surging suction force. Suddenly, the previously calm stones on the ground began to gather an invisible aura on their surface.

As a unique ore that absorbs a large amount of earth aura, the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone has a special characteristic of condensing aura and transforming it into sword intent.

This is also the preciousness of this ore, a Supreme Grade mineral that refines sword intent and enhances sword cultivation. It is not only treasured by ordinary cultivators, but even more so by sword cultivators, and is often priceless.

A burst of aura surged from the stone, forming a boiling aura that seemed like mist, constantly condensing and changing in the air above the secret room, eventually forming a sharp flying sword, pointing directly at the pure white Ten Thousand Swords Gourd in Zheng Yi's hand.

The sword intent that had been precipitated in the stone silently circulated in the air, gathering invisible power, condensing sword qi. Its sharpness seemed capable of cutting through all tangible and intangible things, causing a stinging pain on the face, like being pricked by needles. It slowly surged and became denser in this enclosed space, increasing in number.

"It's no wonder that even Five Elements Sword cultivators chase after this thing. The sword intent condensed from it is truly unparalleled in sharpness."

Looking at the slowly condensing sword intent, a smile appeared in Zheng Yi's eyes.

It must be said that for these few stones, it was quite a suitable deal to kill several Foundation Building Late Stage experts and completely offend the Qin family and the Jinque Sect.
