Qin Feng gripped the Frozen Ice Sword Talisman but did not dare to activate it just like that. That was because he could not be absolutely certain that the Sword Talisman was capable of hurting his opponent. Even if it managed to harm the old priest, he would lose his one and only method of attack and would be left at the mercy of his opponent.
Hence, he decided that it was better to keep the Sword talisman as a threat. Moreover, the extra time would be advantageous. The longer he could stall, the more likely Li Tianchou would arrive in time to save them.
He hoped that Li Tianchou was not too far away, if he took too long, the cousins might not be able to hold off the old priest.
“Senior, I have a question. Why did you murder all those commoner women? With your cultivation level, why was there a need to commit such a despicable act?” Qin Feng pulled the topic out of nowhere because he planned to use conversation to stall time.
The black-robe old priest was crafty and not easily tricked, hence he saw through Qin Feng’s ruse and laughed coldly, “Are you still planning to stall? Little one, you are quite inexperienced.
“Even if you did manage to stall until that swordsman cultivator arrived, did you think that I would be scared off by him?”
Those words caused Qin Feng’s heart to tremble, he did not know where the old priest’s confidence came from. How could he have such confidence that he would be able to defeat a swordsman of the ninth Foundation Establishment Stage?
The specialty of the sword cultivation was a killing attack method and the offensive force of this cultivation method was startling. If two cultivators of equal stages battled it out, the swordsman cultivator was more likely to win. This old priest should also be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Since he appeared so confident over defeating Li Tianchou, did he have some other impressive technique?
While Qin Feng was deep in thought, he heard the old Daoist call out, “I guess there’s no harm in telling you. When I was cultivating a while ago, I was sneak-attacked, it made something go wrong with my cultivation method. I need human placenta as medicine to restore my core and return to my original state.
“This was why I sent my disciple to capture several pregnant women for me, but that scoundrel did not do his job well and brought me the pregnant women I asked for. Instead, he went ahead and raped girls. Did he think that he could honor his master by getting someone pregnant himself?
“There’s no point talking about him anymore, he ended up being caught by Kun City’s patrol office and had his cultivation ability seized. He is really a piece of trash, as his master, I now have to personally find some human placenta myself to make the medicine.”
Qin Feng was in shock when he heard that. “The pervert that harassed and raped a proper lady is your disciple?”
“That’s right, that useless piece of trash. Regarding his capture by the Kun City patrol office, I’m not too concerned about it since I’ve already cultivated my elixir and my injury is almost completely healed.
“However, I did not expect that so many low leveled cultivators would come to Kun City. All of them stupidly serving themselves to me on a silver platter, sacrifices for my spirit banner. It’s truly a happy surprise.”
The black-robed priest walked forward carelessly, and laughed a few more times smugly. “Especially those rich playboys from Tieling County’s Zhao family. It was too easy for me to trick them and get them to walk into my trap.
“Even more unexpectedly, the leader of those little brats actually had so many treasures on him. To be honest, something this good is hard to find.
“Once that brat’s spiritual energy is completely worn down, all those treasures will be mine. Hahahahaha…”
Qin Feng was still thinking about ways to stall, so he asked, “Still why did you…”
“Enough with the nonsense!”
He heard the black-robed priest shout loudly, with a flick of his sleeve, a snow-white skull flew out. After appearing, the skeleton head grew with the wind and in a short amount of time became as large as a foot long.
The empty black eye sockets glowed with a ghostly flame. Within the skeleton jaws that would not stop chattering, sat teeth that gleamed with a frosty light, looking like they could bite through metal. It flew towards Qin Feng and its bite was aimed at his head.
Qin Feng was caught off-guard by this sudden attack and jumped in fright. He quickly darted away in an attempt to escape from this gigantic skull bone.
Unfortunately, his speed was nothing compared to the flying skeleton head, in the blink of an eye, it caught up to him and the jaw gaped open to aim another bite at his body.
At the same time, the black-robed priest waved the long banner in his hand and unleashed dozens of black smoke clouds at them. They were all ghost spirits that he had trapped within his banner.
There were no ordinary ghost spirits, they were the spirits of the dead cultivators murdered by the old priest which he then transferred into his spirit banner and cultivated to form ghostly beings.
Those ghost spirits, regardless of their status during their lifetime, were all under his control. Whether they were willing or unwilling, they had to do battle for him. Otherwise, they would be subjected to torture and the pain of soul burning. Their end would be a frightening and terrifying one.
At that moment, Qin Feng and Qin Yang were both besieged. However, Qin Feng’s circumstances were much better than Qin Yang’s. Even though he was the main target of their opponent, he was protected by the Warrior Protective Talisman and would be able to withstand the attacks for a short while.
Qin Yang did not have this protection and could only rely on his own hard-earned cultivation skills to fight off those ghost spirits.
A clack sounded through space and Qin Feng saw everything in front of him go dark. He was being swallowed up by that gigantic skeleton head. The skeleton head opened wide and bit down harshly like it wanted to bite him in half.
However, its bite lowered by a few inches. Even so, Qin Feng was half-frightened to death and rushed to cover his nether region, to prevent the skull head from using its sharp teeth to bite off his family jewels.
Even though the Qin family was not solely reliant on him to ensure the continuation of the next generation as the family patriarch Qin Guanpo alone was the equivalent of 20-30 normal folk. Regardless, Qin Feng did not want to lose his ability to wield his ‘gun’ in the future.
Thank goodness the layer of protective golden light surrounding his body was tough enough. With another crack, the skeleton head had cracked two teeth but still did not manage to injure his body.
Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief. He lifted his head to assess the two broken front teeth of the skeleton head then wondered inwardly, ‘This fellow doesn’t seem that strong. It’s a little like a silver spear head, it uses its looks to frighten people but isn’t anything impressive.’
He could see the black-robed priest through the lower jaw of the skull and discovered that the old priest did not seem at all concerned with the broken teeth.
Qin Feng was panicking on the inside. The old priest clearly did not care too much about the skeleton head or he would have recalled it instead of allowing it to continue biting him unceasingly.
It seemed like he was planning to use this skeleton head to deplete the talismans in Qin Feng’s hand and eliminate all danger before swooping in to kill him. Once he reached this realization, Qin Feng was even more reluctant to use his Frozen Ice Sword Talisman unless he absolutely had to,
At that moment, the black smoke clouds of the ghostly beings were fast approaching. Under the urging of the old priest, they rushed at the two cousins relentlessly. Even the golden glow given off by the Warrior Protective Talisman did not stop them from advancing.
That was because the old priest was using strong force to urge them forwards. Those ghostly spirits would not be able to break through the defenses of the golden light on Qin Feng’s body and would even sustain injuries from being burned. Despite that, they did not retreat. Instead, they became more aggressive and wild, violently biting, scratching, and slashing their claws, forsaking everything in order to deplete all the golden light on Qin Feng’s body.
As the protective golden light of the Warrior Protective talisman was limited, with each use it became slightly weaker.
The ghost spirits were depleting their spiritual bodies at a faster rate. They were growing weaker and more translucent at speeds that could be seen by the human eye. However, the golden light on Qin Feng’s body was also fading and becoming dimmer over time.
Qin Feng started to panic, that Li Tianchou was nowhere to be found. Why on earth was he not there yet?
As he watched the golden glow of the talisman fading away before his eyes and saw the glint of savage intent within the old priest’s eyes, Qin Feng’s heart started to shiver.
What could be done? If that went on he would be dead without a doubt!
