Chapter 144 The Great Sun Furnace Fist, the Golden Crow Burns the Sea!

When Meng Yanqing saw the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and the other four high-level Qi Refining evil cultivators, her heart sank.

This was not an intelligence failure at all; it was clearly a trap set by the Blood God Cult!
Deep within the secret chamber, a black-robed cultivator with a gloomy expression held a blood-red longsword, his body surging with spiritual energy.

Behind him, four evil cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, dressed in gray robes, were eyeing him menacingly.

The black-robed cultivator didn't even look at Meng Yanqing directly, but only glanced at the Tianyan Sect disciples and Qingzhou Prefecture cultivators and captains crowded at the entrance of the tunnel with disgust.

"They actually came. It seems our intelligence was accurate." The black-robed cultivator grinned, revealing blood-red teeth, his gaze fixed on Meng Yanqing.

"Blood offerings from the Heavenly Evolution Sect?"

"How dare you hunt my Blood God Sect disciples! None of you will escape today!"

With a casual wave of his hand, the blood-red longsword instantly erupted with several streaks of blood-red light.

For low-level cultivators, the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment stage is an irresistible natural disaster.

"Scatter! Those in the Qi Refining stage, follow me and cover them!" Meng Yanqing roared, trying to protect the people behind him.

However, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's attack was as fast as lightning.

"what!"

The screams lasted only a moment before the three disciples of the Body Refining Hall of the Tianyan Sect who were at the forefront, along with five captains of the fifth level of Qi Refining from Qingzhou Prefecture, were instantly pierced by the bloody light, their blood and qi were drained, and they turned into shriveled corpses and fell to the ground.

Meng Yanqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his anger was almost burning away his reason.

Without wasting words, Meng Yanqing's blood and qi instantly boiled.

He took a sudden step forward, his muscles tensed, and threw a punch!
He used the "Heart Fire Casting Soul" chapter of the Great Sun Furnace Fist, taking the dantian as the foundation, and guided the true fire of the heart meridian to connect the three yang meridians of the hand.

Before the fist's intent was unleashed, its fiery power gathered first, and crimson flame patterns appeared on the fist's edge.

It is the first move of the "Great Sun Furnace Fist" - "Red Emperor Descending to the Sky"!
Wherever the fist strikes, a wall of energy within three feet generates scorching waves.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator merely sneered and casually slashed with his blood sword.

"Noisy!"

A crimson sword aura tore through the air and collided with Meng Yanqing's fist!

boom!
As the air surged back, Meng Yanqing felt an immense force strike her, her blood and qi churned, and a sweet taste rose in her throat before she spat out blood.

He was thrown back by the force of the spiritual energy and crashed heavily into the stone wall behind him, causing the wall to crack.

He slid to the ground, his arm bones making a sickening cracking sound, clearly indicating a serious injury.

"Form the array! Suppress the demon!"

When the two captains from Qingzhou Prefecture, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, saw Meng Yanqing's setback, they knew the situation was critical.

They are worshippers who have been blessed by the imperial dragon's aura and are most skilled at using battle formations to deal with evil spirits.

Ten Qi Refining stage retainers quickly arrived at their posts, with two Qi Refining ninth level retainers as the array's cores, instantly forming a simple "Ten Directions Evil Suppression Array".

Ten beams of spiritual light intertwined, forming a pale yellow light shield that carried a chilling, military aura as it pressed down on the black-robed cultivator.

At the same time, the remaining twelve Body Refining Hall disciples and more than forty Qingzhou Prefecture officers rushed towards the four high-level Qi Refining evil cultivators.

"I'm here to help!" Meng Yanqing endured the excruciating pain and struggled to get up.

He knew he was seriously injured, but the advantage of body-refining cultivators was their strong recovery ability.

He took a deep breath and, like an arrow released from a bow, charged towards the black-robed cultivator from the flank.

He no longer used the Great Sun Furnace Fist, but instead used the most basic body-refining techniques in conjunction with the Qingzhou Prefecture's Evil-Suppressing Formation to form an encirclement.

The black-robed cultivator, caught between the Demon-Suppressing Array and Meng Yanqing, finally felt a bit of pressure.

"A bunch of ants, do you really think you can contend with Foundation Establishment cultivators with your rudimentary battle formation?" A hint of contempt flashed in the black-robed cultivator's eyes.

He swung his blood-red sword repeatedly, the sword light like rain, each strike precisely hitting the weak points of the demon-suppressing formation.

On the other side, the disciples of the Body Refining Hall were already locked in battle with the four evil cultivators.

The disciples of the Body Refining Hall possessed formidable qi and blood, and their moves were domineering. They managed to suppress the four evil cultivators in coordination with the palace guards.

"Annoying flies!" the black-robed cultivator roared, as he, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, was being held back by this swarm of Qi Refining stage ants.

His eyes blazed with blood-red light, his crimson Dao Foundation activated, and the spiritual energy around his body suddenly contracted before erupting.

"Blood Demon Explosion!"

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's innate cultivation technique erupted instantly.

A thick cloud of crimson mist erupted from his body, enveloping the entire secret chamber.

The blood mist carried a strong corrosive and nauseating stench.

The yellow light emanating from the demon-suppressing array flickered precariously in the blood mist, like a candle burning in the wind. "Ah—"

The power of the Blood Demon Explosion far exceeded the imagination of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

The four Qi Refining evil cultivators, who had been suppressed, were now energized by the blood mist, and they easily injured two Body Refining Hall disciples.

The retainers of Qingzhou Prefecture fared even worse. They struggled to hold on with the help of the battle formation, but the light of the formation quickly dimmed under the corrosive influence of the blood mist.

The two captains, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, had ashen faces and black blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Meng Yanqing was the first to be hit, and a cloud of blood rushed towards him.

He activated his internal furnace at full power, raising his qi and blood to their peak, forcefully isolating the blood mist from the outside.

Even so, his wounds were still being eroded by the evil energy, causing him excruciating pain. He knew that the Foundation Establishment cultivator had already fought desperately.

The black-robed cultivator grinned maliciously. His Blood Demon Explosion had consumed a great deal of energy, but he had successfully dealt a heavy blow to all his enemies.

"Die! You will all become nourishment for me!"

He brandished his blood-red sword once more, preparing to completely shatter the demon-suppressing formation and reap the heads.

Meng Yanqing looked at the crumbling demon-suppressing array in front of her, and at her companions and worshippers who were being corroded by the blood mist and struggling in pain.

He knew this was his last chance.

While the burst of power from the Foundation Establishment cultivator was immense, it also inevitably consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.

Although he was seriously injured, this was his only chance to turn the tide.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the boiling injuries within his body. The speed of his blood circulation instantly increased to its limit, and his bones and muscles cracked like popping beans.

He knew that he had never fully mastered the next move, and his physical body was now nearing its limit, but he had no other choice.

He activated the "Radiant Vein Burning Wheel" technique of the Great Sun Furnace Fist, stepping out of position with his feet and his arms flapping like the wings of a divine bird.

The surging Qi and blood within the body no longer erupted simply, but spiraled outwards along the eight extraordinary meridians, as if transforming the entire body into a sun about to set!

"Great Sun Furnace Fist, Second Form - Golden Crow Burns the Sea!"

With a roar, his fist was no longer just a simple crimson red, but instead condensed a layer of dazzling golden light, an extreme masculine power that seemed capable of burning away all evil in the world!
Fear finally appeared in the black-robed cultivator's eyes.

The golden fist, carrying the force to scorch mountains and boil seas, pierced through the dense blood mist of the Blood Demon Explosion and slammed into the chest of the black-robed cultivator!

"puff!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator coughed up blood and was sent flying backward, crashing through the wall of the secret chamber before his body was buried under rubble. His chest was instantly burned by the masculine energy, leaving a charred fist mark, and his life force rapidly faded.

As the Foundation Establishment cultivator fell, the thick blood mist quickly dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the four evil cultivators who had cultivated Qi showed fear in their eyes, lost all will to fight, and turned to flee into the depths of the tunnel.

"Don't let them get away!" Meng Yanqing roared hoarsely.

The disciples of the Body Refining Hall and the surviving retainers of Qingzhou Prefecture disregarded their injuries and quickly gave chase.

The four evil cultivators, already suffering from the backlash of the Blood Demon Explosion and entangled by the Body Refining Hall disciples, were in complete disarray and unable to escape the secret chamber.

Under the combined attack of the Body Refining Hall disciples and the cultivators of Qingzhou Prefecture, the four evil cultivators were quickly killed.

Meng Yanqing struggled to pull his fist back, and excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body. His tendons and veins had suffered a severe blow, and the skin on his arms was cracking open, oozing bright red blood. He was on the verge of collapse.

He forced himself to walk to the corpse of the Foundation Establishment cultivator and delivered a final kick to confirm that the other's soul had been annihilated.

He then endured the excruciating pain and began to collect his spoils.

He took out a storage bag and a cold-feeling token from the black-robed cultivator.

On the front of the token is a ferocious, blood-red skull.

On the other side, there is a black sun slowly sinking into darkness.

Meng Yanqing gripped the token tightly, her gaze sweeping over the corpses lying haphazardly in the secret chamber with a complex expression.

He forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body and carefully put away the token and storage bag.

He had to leave as soon as possible. This Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivator, the traitor, and this strange token all indicated that Qingzhou seemed to be hiding an even greater crisis.

He had to pull himself together and bring this intelligence back to the sect.

He turned to look behind him at the surviving disciples of the Body Refining Hall and the officers of the Imperial Guard, his eyes filled with awe and sorrow.

Exhaustion permeated Meng Yanqing's voice, but he still gave clear and decisive orders.

"Quickly take stock of the casualties and gather the brothers in order... This place is not safe to stay any longer."
