Chapter 423: Deworming
The person who spoke up was Song Qingming, who had been standing silently.
After the purple-clothed woman and her companions stopped Song Qingming and his companions, they initially focused their attention on the main target, the two sisters of the Xu Ziyan clan, and paid little attention to Song Qingming who was traveling with them.
After hearing Song Qingming's words, the people who were just in a stalemate also turned their eyes to him, especially the purple-clothed woman. When she found out that Song Qingming was also a ninth-level cultivator of the foundation building stage, her face suddenly became a little ugly.
Seeing that the other party was indeed eyeing the spiritual objects on Xu Ziyan and the other two, although Song Qingming also knew that it would be difficult for these people to give up until they achieved their goal today, he still gave them a sincere exhortation, and by the way, he also used his own cultivation to see if he could make the other party retreat.
Although there were five people on the other side, there were only two cultivators in the late stage of the foundation building stage. Song Qingming and Xu Ziyan's cultivation had reached the peak of the foundation building stage, and they might not be able to gain much advantage if they really fought.
"My fellow Taoist, you should not be here with them. We are here only for these two today, and it has nothing to do with other people. As long as you don't meddle in other people's business, we can be friends. How about I let you leave now!"
Facing the purple-clothed woman's inducement, Song Qingming waved his hand calmly and said softly:
"Your Excellency is right. I really don't want to meddle in other people's business. As long as you make way for us to pass, everyone will be safe and sound. What business can I take care of?
I am afraid that you will not listen to my advice and insist on blocking the way. That would make it difficult for me. Although I am not here with them, I am indeed an acquaintance. It is really not good to stand by and watch!"
Seeing that Song Qingming had a black-backed silver knife in his hand while he was talking, and he was going to advance and retreat together with them, Xu Ziyan and the green-clothed woman, who had been a little nervous, instantly relaxed their faces.
Before leaving the teleportation array, the two of them had already felt that they seemed to be stared at.
When Xu Ziyan saw Song Qingming who was teleported with them, she immediately took the initiative to find him and invited him to go with her. Unexpectedly, this intentional move played a key role now.
Although Xu Ziyan had some favors to Song Qingming in the past, it was many years ago. Although chivalry is also advocated in this world of immortal cultivation, many times for some important cultivation resources and their own lives, there are many villains who betray their friends and brothers.
Facing this critical situation at this moment, if Song Qingming really chose to leave them alone, Xu Ziyan actually couldn't say much.
After all, Song Qingming is now a cultivator whose cultivation is not inferior to his own. It is not so easy for a foundation-building cultivator to take risks with his own life and property in order to repay his gratitude.
"Okay, okay, okay! Daoist friend, you want to die yourself, so you can't blame us."
After the purple-clothed woman made a gesture, she waved a black flag in her hand and rushed towards Xu Ziyan. The other four people also used their magical powers and immediately killed Song Qingming and the green-clothed woman.
Seeing this, Song Qingming was no longer as low-key as before. He directly controlled the black-backed silver knife in his hand to stop three of them, leaving only the middle-aged man with the lowest cultivation level to Xu Ziyan's junior sister.
Except for the purple-clothed woman who had a similar cultivation level to Xu Ziyan, the highest cultivation level among the other four was a skinny old man at the seventh level of foundation building.
Although this person did not have any powerful attacking magic weapons, he was very good at driving a strange golden spirit insect. Although this spirit insect was not big, there were a lot of them, and each of them was extremely cruel and fearless. No matter how many Song Qingming killed, another wave would soon rush towards him.
Song Qingming didn't expect that this plain-looking old man could actually practice a very rare secret technique in the world of immortals, the insect repelling technique.
The other two who assisted the old man in attacking Song Qingming were all cultivators at the sixth level of foundation building. Their magical powers were relatively ordinary, and they could barely deal with a cultivator at the late stage of foundation building when they joined forces.
After Song Qingming fought the three of them alone for dozens of rounds, except for the threat posed by the skinny old man's spiritual insects, he did not feel any other danger for the time being, and gradually gained some upper hand.
In addition to Song Qingming, the opponent who fought against the junior sister Xu Ziyan also had ordinary cultivation and magical powers. Although her junior sister could not win in a short time, she would definitely have the upper hand if the fight continued.
Only Xu Ziyan felt a lot of pressure when facing the attack of the purple-clothed woman. Although Xu Ziyan's cultivation and magical powers were not as good as those of the core disciples of Xiaoyao Sect such as Li Yungong, she was indeed much more powerful than ordinary cultivators of the same level.
However, she did not expect that the purple-clothed woman who was facing her had even stronger skills than her, and she was soon suppressed by the opponent's attack.
It is very difficult to meet a cultivator with such strength among casual cultivators. This time, Xu Ziyan also met a master. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, and could only fight and retreat while gritting her teeth.
The strategy of the purple-clothed woman was very simple, that is, the others would delay Song Qingming and the others first, and she, who was the strongest, would deal with Xu Ziyan alone first. As long as she took down the opponent first, she would come back to deal with Song Qingming and the others together, which would be much simpler.
However, what the purple-clothed woman did not expect was that before she won, the battlefield besieging Song Qingming soon saw unexpected changes.
Seeing that the skinny old man's spirit insect was indeed difficult to deal with, Song Qingming took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent was driving the spirit insect, used the wind-controlling boots to quickly increase his speed and approached him, and used the Green Water Bell hidden on his body to directly cover him.
After the Green Water Bell trapped the old man driving the spirit insect, Song Qingming finally freed up his hands to concentrate on dealing with the two opponents who had been entangled with him.
These two people were ordinary in terms of magic weapons, skills and magical powers. Under Song Qingming's sharp attack, one of them soon died under his black-backed silver knife.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other person quickly ran directly to the purple-clothed woman for help, but Song Qingming did not give him this opportunity. Just when he thought he was about to escape danger, a transparent spike pierced his chest directly from behind.
After dealing with the two men, Song Qingming raised his hand again, took the initiative to open the Green Water Bell, and released the skinny old man from it.
This time, without the two helpers to assist him, the spirit insects alone could not completely restrain Song Qingming. Not long after, the skinny old man was beheaded by Song Qingming with a knife, and the spirit insects he had cultivated for many years suddenly became ownerless objects and flew around in the air.
