Mortal Alchemy

Gao Yang's expression was one of shock, followed by a grave look as he said:

"These demonic cultivators want to use the entire Demon Subduing Market's thirty thousand people as a blood sacrifice!"

Chen Ping nodded:

"So it really is blood sacrifice for rapidly increasing strength."

"How many demonic cultivators are there, and what is their strength?"

Gao Yang's face was gloomy as he said:

"There are about twenty demonic cultivators, including a protector who is quite mysterious and may possess a magical treasure."

"A magical treasure?" Chen Ping frowned slightly: "Is he trying to advance to the third rank?"

Gao Yang nodded slowly.

Blood sacrifice of thirty thousand people, just to step into the Golden Core stage. One general succeeds on ten thousand bones. How ruthless are demonic cultivators?

If one wants to step into the Nascent Soul stage from the Golden Core stage, wouldn't one have to sacrifice the entire Eastern Wasteland Immortal City to have a chance?

Chen Ping held the Aurora Sword:

"Market Master Gao, it seems we need to speed things up."

Gao Yang suddenly smiled freely, a look of determination in his eyes:

"Alright!"

"Follow me!"

Even Chen Ping wasn't afraid of death, so what was he hesitating for?

This time, there was a major oversight, and he had no face to live on anyway.

And the demonic cultivators' diversion tactic probably means that Real Person Changkong will find nothing.

Real Person Changkong will probably be punished because of this matter!

Gao Yang gritted his teeth. For his only son, to save his life, Gao Yang had to fight desperately!

Gao Yang led Chen Ping deeper into the market, saying as they walked:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have a favor to ask of you."

"When we fight later, you can take all the corpses of these demonic cultivators. After I die, all my property will be given to you."

"My son, Gao Jian, has been corrupted by the demonic path, but he still has a chance to be saved. He, I entrust to you."

Chen Ping hesitated for only a moment before saying:

"Alright!"

Gao Yang clearly didn't plan to live. If he killed more demonic cultivators to pave the way for Chen Ping before he died, it would save Chen Ping a lot of effort.

The two rushed to a plaza, which was filled with demonic energy.

Thousands of Qi Refining cultivators had already been captured here, each suffering from demonic energy, their expressions twisted in pain, yet seeking release.

And strands of demonic energy, like living things, spread out in all directions.

At the plaza, Chen Ping's divine sense spread out, immediately counting the number of enemies: "Thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

He was a little surprised that there were so many demonic cultivators.

This force was not weak.

Even Chen Ping wouldn't dare to say that he could deal with so many people alone.

"But with the reckless Gao Yang around, it seems it's not impossible to fight..."

In the very center, there was a person wearing a black robe and holding a cane, kneeling on the ground, seemingly praying for something.

As soon as the two appeared, they were sensed by these demonic cultivators.

"Kill them! Let the Protector focus on presiding over the sacrificial ritual!" a demonic cultivator roared.

A dozen demonic cultivators immediately rushed towards Chen Ping and Gao Yang.

Gao Yang said: "Chen Ping, I'll hold them off first, you go save people!"

"Break these demonic energies and let these Qi Refining cultivators escape on their own, destroying their ritual. That way, no matter what, their plan won't succeed."

"Okay." Chen Ping nodded.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

In the next moment, a sword image phantom flew out from above Chen Ping and Gao Yang's heads, emitting a sword cry.

Chen Ping's divine sense, reaching six hundred feet, spread out!

He keenly discovered that these demonic energies all had a node on the ground, forming a formation.

These nodes continuously released demonic energy, corroding the cultivators.

There wasn't much time left for Chen Ping, so he had to act quickly!

He raised the Aurora Sword in his hand.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

Ten lotus flowers floated out from the sword!

Floating into the air, and then under the control of his vast divine sense!

"咻——"

Instantly, a full one hundred and thirty-six cyan sword energies erupted, descending from the sky, accurately blasting towards the demonic energy nodes on the ground!

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions rang out, followed by the wailing and howling of demonic energy, as if it were a living thing.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight hundred Qi Refining cultivators regained their senses.

"Hoo~" Chen Ping breathed softly, took out a few second-order Qi Recovery Pills and swallowed them, quickly recovering his spiritual power, and said:

"Escape! Leave the Demon Subduing Market! Go to the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City!"

These hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators didn't have time to be grateful and fled in all directions.

The demonic cultivator holding a cane and kneeling in prayer at the altar in the center of the plaza suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The demonic cultivators present all seemed to be greatly affected!

The demonic cultivator holding the cane had a grim expression, his eyes bloodshot: "Kill the Eastern Xuan Sect disciple first!"

"Yes, Protector!"

Originally, twelve demonic cultivators were besieging Gao Yang, but suddenly seven or eight demonic cultivators were diverted to besiege Chen Ping!

"Sword cultivator! Damned sword cultivator!" As a demonic cultivator, what they hated the most was sword cultivators!

As seven or eight demonic cultivators surged up, the Aurora Sword in Chen Ping's hand erupted with cyan light, and a thin cyan line swept out!

As the sword light passed, four of the demonic cultivators had their bodies cut off at the waist, and even their arms were cut off!

"Plop——"

Four mutilated bodies fell to the ground, and the upper halves of the demonic cultivators had not completely died, still twisting grotesquely and screaming.

The remaining three demonic cultivators were terrified by the scene before them!

In one encounter, a brother died!

This Eastern Xuan Sect sword cultivator was too terrifying!

Gao Yang clapped his hands in front and cheered: "Well done, Chen Ping!"

He also began to exert his strength, and a golden feather sword energy erupted, also beheading the four sword cultivators in front of him!

Suddenly, twelve demonic cultivators were dead, leaving only four!

The remaining four demonic cultivators were pale, with fear in their eyes.

Gao Yang said: "Chen Ping, you save people!"

"I'll kill the remaining four demonic cultivators, and the credit will be yours!"

Chen Ping nodded, and cyan lotuses surged out of the sword again, preparing to continue breaking the demonic energy nodes.

Suddenly, in his divine sense perception, a terrifying, extremely dangerous force surged!

Chen Ping didn't have time to dodge, he could only hurriedly cancel the cyan lotus, his spiritual power surged wildly, and he used Sword Energy Embodiment.

"Boom clang clang!!!"

In the next instant, a stream of hot, evil, and dark demonic energy hit him, blasting him dozens of feet away.

And this demonic energy had not dissipated, it still wanted to erode Chen Ping, the demonic energy surged, like a maggot attached to the bone, wrapped around his body, and eroded and collided with the sword energy around him, turning into black flames, making Chen Ping's body feel like it was being burned.

"Ah!!!"

At the same time, a scream rang in Chen Ping's ears.

He saw Gao Yang being hit by the demonic energy, and a dozen bloody holes suddenly appeared in his body, revealing terrifying wounds of white bones.

And the demonic energy had not dissipated, turning into flames, devouring Gao Yang's flesh.

Chen Ping's eyes were tearing apart: "Gao Yang!"

The Protector holding the cane had a gloomy and ugly face: "Killing you like this is still a bargain for you!"

Chen Ping glanced at the cane in the Protector's hand, his face extremely solemn: "The power of a magical treasure!"

Sure enough, magical treasures can only be countered by magical treasures.

He used Sword Energy Embodiment, relying on the third-order Aurora Sword as a support, so he could resist the demonic energy erosion of the same third-order magical treasure.

As for Gao Yang, Chen Ping couldn't save him, he was powerless!

This demonic energy was too evil and difficult to deal with, even he couldn't clear it away all at once.
