Hu Bing’s primal spirit shook violently. It drew lines of patterns through the space. The patterns flashed. The violent power inside his body turned into swords and blades that shot straight at several cultivators. The aura was terrifying. Truly, one person held back several cultivators.
The few people felt great shock in their hearts. They exchanged glances and then rushed at Hu Bing with even fiercer power. Each one swung their weapons and unleashed sharp auras that covered the area, as if they wanted to shatter Hu Bing to death. None of them were weak. Their strength had reached the primal spirit realm, with the power to crush stones and split gold.
“It is useless. A true baleful spirit is far stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same realm.”
While Hu Bing spoke, his aura shook. His aura was not particularly advanced, but it blended perfectly with his power. Every bit of strength gathered together and exploded with the strongest force, rushing straight at one of the cultivators.
The opponent blocked with his weapon. The two forces clashed. It seemed even, but Hu Bing’s violent power directly cut through the opponent’s weapon and hacked hard into the man’s body. The body was split in half alive.
Ye Chu watched from the side. His heart shook because of this. The power Hu Bing erupted with was not especially strong, but his aura merged completely into the power. It allowed the power to unleash the strongest attack.
His control over aura was extremely precise. This level of precision was something even Ye Chu could not achieve. This made Ye Chu click his tongue in surprise. He thought this was the wonder of a baleful spirit. Apart from being able to surge with power that carried baleful qi attributes, their use of the primal spirit was also unique.
Although Ye Chu had one foot in the baleful spirit realm, he was still very unfamiliar with baleful spirits. In the past, he had only heard about how magical and powerful baleful spirits were, but he had never truly witnessed it. Now, watching Hu Bing fight, he finally gained a slight understanding.
Hu Bing was only at the primal spirit realm. In the baleful spirit world, he was just at the bottom. Yet even such a bottom-level existence could control aura to such a precise degree. Then how magical would those truly powerful baleful spirits be?
Ye Chu suddenly felt great interest in baleful spirits. He hoped to step into this circle. From Hu Bing’s performance just now, they had extraordinary achievements in the cultivation and control of the primal spirit.
Hu Bing was strong. These few people were quickly dealt with by him. They fell in pools of blood in front of the statue, a shocking sight.
After killing them, Hu Bing did not even frown. His gaze turned to the statue’s eyes. There, the cold fire baleful qi danced. The green flames carried a piercing chill.
Hu Bing looked at the cold fire baleful qi with burning eyes. The cold fire baleful qi was extremely valuable. If he could obtain it, his strength would surely surge greatly. If he could refine it and make it part of himself, then even against great cultivators, he would have the power to fight.
Thinking of this, Hu Bing’s eyes grew even hotter. He stepped forward one step at a time towards the cold fire baleful qi. Although Hu Bing desperately wanted this thing, he did not dare act rashly. His strength could not yet resist the cold fire baleful qi. He had to take it away first, then use medicines to assist and special methods before he dared to refine the cold fire baleful qi.
Hu Bing climbed carefully onto the statue. He took out tools and began to dig at the statue’s eyes, removing the cold fire baleful qi from the statue’s pupils.
Perhaps because of excitement, Hu Bing’s hands trembled. He carefully pried out the statue’s eyeballs along with the cold fire baleful qi.
But just as Hu Bing dug out the cold fire baleful qi and excitedly wanted to take it away, the statue suddenly erupted with a huge sound. This loud boom shook everything. The statue collapsed with a crash. Hu Bing was horrified. He quickly grabbed the statue’s eyeball and dragged it as he shot away.
Hu Bing avoided the danger of being buried under falling rubble, but the danger did not leave him. The cold fire baleful qi he was dragging suddenly flew out from the eyeball. It turned into a ball of green fire and pounced towards Hu Bing.
“Hahaha… This old man is finally free!”
A piercing laugh burst from the cold fire baleful qi. The voice was bone-chilling and extremely harsh.
Hu Bing’s face changed dramatically. He stared at the green flames circling and burning in the air. In terror, he shouted loudly, “What thing are you?”
“A tiny primal spirit realm dares to shout at this old man. Since you dug me out of the statue and broke the seal, I will leave you an intact corpse.” A sharp voice came from the green fire. It made Hu Bing’s face change again. He retreated madly, wanting to escape.
But Hu Bing’s speed could not compare to the green fire. In the blink of an eye, the green fire pounced onto him. Hu Bing did not even have time to scream. He was swallowed by the green fire. His primal spirit was destroyed instantly. The Hu Bing who had just been showing off died on the spot.
“Although he is a baleful spirit, his primal spirit is too weak. Still, better than nothing. It helps heal this old man’s damaged primal spirit.” The green fire made a hissing sound.
Ye Chu had long been stunned by the scene before him. No one could have imagined that such a thing existed inside the cold fire baleful qi. Ye Chu had originally been thinking whether to step in and seize the cold fire baleful qi from Hu Bing. But now, where did he have the mood to seize anything? He turned and ran towards the outside, wanting to avoid the cold fire baleful qi.
But Ye Chu clearly underestimated the terror of the thing inside the cold fire baleful qi. Although Ye Chu escaped carefully, it still noticed him. In just one moment, the cold fire baleful qi blocked Ye Chu’s path.
“You still want to escape in front of this old man?” A hissing sound came from the cold fire baleful qi, cold and sinister.
“Hehe! That, um, I saw this temple looked very broken and accidentally wandered in. I will not disturb your rest. I will leave first!” Ye Chu wanted to go around the cold fire baleful qi and leave, but in the next instant, the cold fire baleful qi landed in front of him. Ye Chu’s steps stopped abruptly.
“This old man has not allowed you to leave. You cannot leave this place!”
The sinister voice made Ye Chu tense his body. He secretly raised his own power.
“Do not make a futile struggle. With your meagre strength, this old man can easily kill you.” The voice from the cold fire baleful qi was full of disdain.
Ye Chu knew the other party spoke the truth, but he did not lower his guard. “If I die, someone will avenge me.”
“Avenge you?” The sinister voice laughed loudly. The laughter was piercing. “Who can save you? Back then, if this old man had not made a mistake, how could I have been sealed in the statue? But even if sealed, so what? Am I not out now!”
The other party laughed madly. “Hahaha, so what if your Dao is one foot higher? This old man is still one foot higher in devilry. Back then you sealed me. Now this old man used his own power and gathered it for who knows how many years to form the cold fire baleful qi. Was it not easily broken by an outsider? You died, but I am still alive. Hahaha, this old man still won. So what if you were peerlessly invincible? You still lost. Lost!!!”
The gloomy voice went mad, as if stimulated. It roared at the Taoist temple. The sound shook everything. The already broken temple collapsed further. Broken walls kept falling down.
Ye Chu cursed inwardly. He wondered which bastard had sealed this thing back then. Since they could seal him, why not just finish him off? Now the descendants had to pay for his mistake. Looking at Hu Bing’s corpse, Ye Chu felt a chill down his spine.
