I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

The Qimen Valley group quickly cleaned up the battlefield, taking away the magical artifacts and storage bags of the Ziyang Sect members, and burying the two junior brothers who had died in battle.

"Let's get out of here first."

To avoid attracting others, the remaining five people from Qimen Valley dared not linger there. After hastily swallowing a pill, they quickly set off to find a safer place to heal their injuries.

Ma Ke didn't make any rash moves because he was worried about attracting others, given how loud the commotion had been. So he quietly followed them.

After traveling nearly fifty miles in silence, the group landed in a secluded valley.

After quickly examining the wounds and finding nothing amiss, Senior Brother Cheng said, "You should heal your injuries first, and I will protect you."

The others quickly thanked them and then found a place to sit cross-legged, preparing to begin healing.

Just then, a faint sound of wind breaking suddenly came. Senior Brother Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly threw out a yellow square seal.

The seal rapidly expanded to several feet square, and with a whoosh, it blocked a crimson cone-shaped magic weapon about half an arm's length long, sparking a shower of sparks.

Before Senior Brother Cheng could even rejoice, he let out a scream, looked down at his abdomen in disbelief, and found that wisps of blue smoke were still rising from there. The excruciating pain went straight to his soul.

It wasn't just the burning pain of fire, but also the tearing sensation caused by the destruction of the dantian and the chaotic flow of true qi.

Ma Ke was taken aback. This Cheng was the strongest among them, but he was unexpectedly so easily defeated.

Although it was also a sneak attack, it was much weaker than the one from the Greatsword Pavilion that I encountered the first time, and I didn't even have to use my prepared third attack.

With his dantian exploding, this person naturally had no chance of survival.

"Senior Brother Cheng..." The group exclaimed in surprise and immediately sprang to their feet.

Before they could even get a chance to investigate, they saw a ten-foot-long crimson fire dragon swimming around and rushing towards them.

"How come there are people from the Ziyang Sect here?"

"He dares to come out and die all by himself, kill him..."

Ignoring their injuries, the four of them rushed forward together.

The fire dragon charged straight at the Qi Refining Perfection cultivator whose injuries were relatively minor. At the same time, Ma Ke raised his hand and sent a beam of spiritual light striking the fire cloud cone. The fire cloud cone spun rapidly, following closely behind the fire dragon.

The man quickly produced an earth-yellow bead, but it was swallowed whole by the fire dragon.

The other three simultaneously unleashed their Earth Spikes spell, causing countless earth spikes to spring up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The fire dragon nimbly dodged, its tail sweeping out, shattering the earth spikes and turning them back into fragmented mud and rocks.

"How could this be?" The person whose Thick Earth Bead was swallowed by the fire dragon was shocked. At the same time, he quickly made several hand seals, then reached down to grab it and suddenly lifted it upwards.

It was as if a layer of the ground had been lifted up in an instant, and a mud wall several meters wide and several meters high stood in front of them.

The fire dragon crashed headlong into the earthen wall, causing it to shake violently and crack open.

He continued to make hand seals, and the earthen wall quickly became solid. But before he could even feel happy, he saw a crimson cone-shaped magic weapon burst through the wall and hurtle straight towards him.

He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The fiery cloud cone pierced through his chest, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest.

"Brother Gan..."

The remaining three cried out in shock, their expressions changing drastically. They hadn't expected that their two strongest senior brothers would fall one after another in such a short time.

"The Ziyang Sect is indeed very well hidden."

The three knew very well that this person was incredibly strong. Even if they were at their peak, let alone with their current serious injuries, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Upon realizing this, they didn't hesitate for a moment and turned to flee in unison.

The fire dragon burst through the hole created by the fire cloud cone. Ma Ke raised his hand and struck the dragon with a beam of spiritual light. The fire dragon's momentum surged, and it leaped out, chasing after the person who was the fastest to escape.

"Junior brothers, come help me quickly!" The man cried out in terror as the fire dragon rapidly approached.

But his two senior brothers seemed not to hear him, and when disaster struck, they each fled.

Ma Ke quickly made a hand seal, then reached out and grabbed forward, then suddenly yanked it up.

A large patch of land in the distance was suddenly lifted up and then rolled back. The two Qimen Valley disciples who were fleeing froze, their faces filled with disbelief.

They weren't shocked that this Ziyang Sect disciple knew earth-attribute magic; rather, they couldn't believe that the other party's mastery of earth-attribute magic was so profound, even surpassing their own, who primarily used earth-attribute techniques.

Just as Ma Ke was about to kill the three of them in one fell swoop, a giant sword flashed and came straight at Ma Ke's back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Ma Ke suddenly leaped to the left, quickly turned around, and then a beam of light struck the Fire Cloud Cone.

The fiery cloud cone shot up and slammed into the broad blade with a whoosh, causing the greatsword to immediately deviate from its position.

But then he turned his sword again and continued to thrust straight at the sword. The Cloudfire Cone was also shaken and flew to the front of the giant sword. The tip of the cone collided with the tip of the sword, and sparks flew everywhere.

Although the greatsword slowly pushed back the fire cloud cone, it did not gain a significant advantage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma Ke raised his hand and pressed forward. The fire dragon not far away suddenly rushed out, breaking through the opponent's defense. With a flick of its tail, the opponent was instantly turned into a human torch and then crashed to the ground with a scream.

Without hesitation, the fire dragon pounced on the other two.

"Which senior brother from the Giant Sword Pavilion would like to lend a helping hand as soon as possible? We will be eternally grateful." The two anxiously pleaded with Shi Ce, who had just appeared.

Shi Ce seemed not to hear him at all, ignoring him completely. Instead, he waved his hand, sheathed the greatsword, and said, "It seems you already knew I was coming."

Ma Ke did not answer immediately, but directly controlled the fire dragon to burn the two people trapped in the earth wave to death.

With the entire Qimen Valley force wiped out, Ma Ke had avenged his three fellow disciples. Then, he slowly said, "I ambushed you once, and now you've ambushed me again. We're even."

Shi Ce chuckled lightly: "If that's how you want to calculate it, then so be it. However, I remember that cone-shaped magical artifact belonged to someone else. Did you kill your fellow disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Ke suddenly realized that Xue Wenzhou had been hiding from this very person, and Zhou Rumei must have also died at this person's hands.

"Let's have a proper fight. Stop running away, or your massacre of your fellow disciples will become a secret," Shi Ce threatened.

Although the other party was not a member of the Ziyang Sect, and even if he complained, no one might believe him, and besides, he was an outer disciple and not easily suspected, Ma Ke was still uneasy.

Moreover, he knew that his cultivation in both fire and earth attributes was not weak. In order for the success of his next plan and to keep his identity secret, the only safest option was to kill someone.

Therefore, this person must die.
