Chapter 109: Did You Think A Dao Expert Would Appear?

In Qingzhou Ancient City.

The hundreds of people who were rescued were still in shock.

Initially, they all thought they were definitely going to die, but to their surprise, Ye Ping was like a heavenly soldier who descended and managed to kill all the hundreds of disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult with a single strike of his sword.

How could they not be shocked by his power?

In particular, Ye Ping’s words made them think that he was great and noble.

“Senior Brother Ye is invincible.”

“Senior Brother Ye should be a ferocious person.”

“Thank you so much, Senior Brother Ye.”

After they came back to their senses, they immediately thanked him with gusto. They were filled with inexplicable excitement and agitation.

However, Ye Ping’s figure had already disappeared, and he did not linger, but went forward without fear of endangering his life.

Looking at Ye Ping’s receding back, the female cultivators were in awe and at a loss for words to describe him.

However, they were well aware that if they continued to stay there, they would certainly be in danger, so fleeing was what they had to do now.

In the distance.

Ye Ping was extremely quick and the ten Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures in his body were opened to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to replenish his Dharmic powers.

Everytime he completed a Four Thunder Sword Technique, about a fifth of his Dharmic powers would be consumed. If he didn’t activate the Immortal Apertures, he probably would not be able to continue.

However, Ye Ping was no fool and knew that there were bound to be many Fiendcelestial Cult members lurking in Qingzhou Ancient City, among which were definitely experts. If he continued to remain status quo, he would definitely encounter trouble in the future.

Hence, while rushing during the journey, he refined the power of merit in his body.

Fortunately, it was the power of merit and Ye Ping’s body was the Ancient Godfiend body.

Otherwise, he would be killing himself with such a cultivation method if he had a different constitution or did not use the power of merit.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The wisps of power of merit turned into rolling spiritual energy that spread throughout Ye Ping’s body.

Ye Ping’s realm and cultivation level were increasing rapidly too.

He went from the second level of Qi Refinement to the third, the fourth, the fifth…

Apart from Chen Yuan, no one else could see that scene.

Chen Yuan was shocked too.

He knew that Ye Ping was a ferocious man, but he never thought that Ye Ping would reach such an extent.

When others broke through their realm, it was as painstaking and arduous as labor during childbirth.

Ye Ping broke through the realm as if it was just child’s play. In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the tenth level of Qi Refinement realm.

Most importantly, he was refining the power of merit.

‘Brother, do you have an abundance of merit?’

Chen Yuan was really dumbfounded as he had never seen anyone extract spiritual energy from merit.

‘This is the power of merit, which is precious and valuable. How can you waste it like that?’

Chen Yuan was continuously lamenting in his head.

In the next moment, Ye Ping again attacked with his sword, and as the sword energy moved, another ten-odd power of merit surged into his body.

Chen Yuan immediately shut up.

To Ye Ping, the power of merit really wasn’t worth much because he had plenty.

In Qingzhou Ancient City.

Ye Ping was like a god.

His gilded body was extraordinarily blinding in the pitch darkness.

His energy was exuberant and he was like a ferocious Godfiend that was reborn.

His sword energy was sharp like an unsheathed immortal sword.

When Ye Ping saw the Fiendcelestial Cult members, he released the Four Thunder Sword Technique without holding back.

Chen Yuan’s heart pounded wildly upon sight of it.

However, Chen Yuan felt rather fortunate and was thankful that he had surrendered early. If he met Ye Ping later, he probably would not even have the opportunity to beg for mercy.

“What should I do? What can I do? If I let my fellow officers find out that I brought him here, I’d probably die without a burial ground.”

At this moment, Chen Yuan was thankful that he had surrendered early, but he was also extremely ill at ease.

However, at this moment, a faint golden light appeared. It was a power of merit, but it flew into Chen Yuan’s body instead of Ye Ping.

Chen Yuan was bewildered.

He was confused.

He never expected that he could actually obtain merit.

Besides, the power of merit was so pure that after it entered his body, it purified all sins immediately and eliminated his negative karma.

In other words, Chen Yuan was no longer a resentful spirit but a kind spirit now. Not only could he directly enter the reincarnation, but he would also be able to reincarnate into a wealthy family in his next life and live in luxury.

That was the benefit of the power of merit.

Chen Yuan did not expect that he could actually obtain the power of merit one day.

He had committed plenty of sins in his past life, but fortunately, he stayed firm to his bottom line. However, Chen Yuan also knew that if he died, he had to bear a lot of karma, and he was even ready to be caught by his fellow members later and allow them to refine him into heretical objects.

However, now that he had obtained the merit, his mood was lifted.

“Exalted Immortal, head north, I can feel it, there are many disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult in the north.”

Chen Yuan soon understood why he could get merit, and after enjoying the benefit, he immediately asked Ye Ping to hurry to subdue the demons.

It was because he did not share communion with sin.

“Excellent!”

Ye Ping didn’t say anything else as he believed what Chen Yuan said. After all, Chen Yuan had been tied up by him. If Ye Ping was in trouble, Chen Yuan would be too.

He headed all the way to the north.

Ye Ping was extremely fast and his cultivation realm was rapidly increasing too.

He had now completed the tenth Qi Refinement.

Chen Yuan saw everything.

Apart from shock, he was well aware of something.

He had gotten close to someone powerful.

In the north.

As Chen Yuan said, there was indeed a large number of disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult.

In fact, almost all the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult were there.

It was the martial arts arena of the ancient city.

There were tens of thousands of cultivators hiding there. They had already gathered there before the second wave of the Fiendcelestial Cult’s surprise attack.

They were the reason why the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were gathered there too.

The martial arts arena was enveloped by a silvery white light and tens of thousands of cultivators were hiding in the light curtain.

Outside the light curtain, the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were bombarding them with various Dharma artifacts in a bid to break the formation with the simplest method.

Inside the light curtain, the cultivators did not sit back and wait. Instead, they launched their weapons too and turned into rays of light that killed many.

In particular, the Lord of Qingzhou City was holding a blue flying sword in his hand and releasing sword energy, killing tens of Fiendcelestial Cult disciples.

However, unfortunately, even after killing the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples, the other party would turn into resentful spirits in an instant and devour the power of resentment before attacking the light curtain.

The Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were all out of their minds as they were crazily fearless and only a few were scrupulous. Most of them didn’t take their lives seriously at all as their eyes were full of menace.

“Chen Zheng, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you are willing to surrender and retract the array formation, I will spare your life and even recommend you to the superiors for an official position. How does that sound?”

At this moment, the commander of the Fiendcelestial Cult spoke up.

He was a cultivator who had reached the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm of cultivation. Looking at Chen Zheng who was near him, he offered that condition indifferently, hoping that Chen Zheng could retract the array formation.

After all, many members of the Fiendcelestial Cult had died, and at this rate, there might be some changes. Hence, it would naturally be extremely good for him to end the battle sooner.

“You’re all so delusional. I, Chen Zheng, am an official of the imperial court and a cultivator of the orthodox Dao. You’re being so ridiculous by asking me to join the Fiendcelestial Cult.”

Chen Zheng’s face was full of disdain.

“Chen Zheng, don’t be too quick to say anything. These days, many orthodox cultivators have joined our Fiendcelestial Cult for the sake of living.”

“Lord Chen Zheng, no matter how good the imperial court is, you’re just a lowly City Lord who’s actually insignificant in the eyes of the Jin Nation’s imperial court. Who in the Ten Nations knows who you are?”

“Our sect is an existence that can make even the Great Xia Dynasty troubled and cause a huge problem for them. Yet, you refuse to agree. Are you just embarrassed because there are so many people around?”

“However, I can promise you, as long as you retract the array formation, I promise that apart from those who are close to you, the rest will never live to see tomorrow within five minutes.”

“After you join my cult, I will tell everyone to help you be enlightened and enhance your Dharmic powers in order to let you break through to the Golden Core realm in one go. In another 30 to 50 years, who will still remember that you were Chen Zheng? When the sect prospers, you will deserve credit.”

The commander’s offers were extremely tempting.

“City Lord, don’t believe the nonsense of these people, they are heretics who are best at deception.”

“City Lord, do not waver. We are orthodox Dao cultivators. If we betray the Dao and defect to the demons, it would be a huge sin.”

In the array formation.

The tens of thousands of cultivators could not help but look at Chen Zheng, for fear that he would agree.

“Everyone, rest assured. Even if I die here in battle, I will never surrender to the demonic Dao.”

Chen Zheng did not choose to surrender, and instead, his eyes became even more determined.

“Seems like you want to do this the hard way. Chen Zheng, you don’t think a Dao expert is going to appear and save you, do you?”

“How old are you? Are you still dreaming?”

“Good, when the array formation breaks, I will let you experience a living hell.”

After hearing Chen Zheng’s reply again, the Fiendcelestial Cult commander was furious and chagrined.

He had said so much and thought that Chen Zheng would take the bait, but things turned out differently. How could he not be furious?

But at the thought of the fact that he mastered victory, he stopped hiding and put down the facade.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Look guys, is that Ye Ping?”
