Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 749 - 748: Prey

In one corner of the Valley of Life and Death, the strong gathered, each occupying their own territory.

These evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, with their cold auras, shadowy faces, or elusive presences, upon appearing, had already blocked Ye Qingchen from all directions, as if they were there or not.

"Heavens!"

Zheng Jiuling’s face, already unpleasant to begin with, turned even paler upon seeing these people.

"Heh heh, Zheng Jiuling... I didn’t expect to find you here!" A Yin Spirit Ghost Cultivator swept his gaze over Ye Qingchen, then looked with a half-smile at Zheng Jiuling.

"Zheng Jiuling, we finally found you! It’s time to settle our scores this time!" Almost as soon as the words fell, another evil cultivator said coldly.

Hearing this, Zheng Jiuling was even more frightened, trembling like a sieve, repeatedly begging for mercy.

Ye Qingchen was also full of surprise.

He really didn’t expect that Zheng Jiuling, the tomb raider, would be so hated. Of the present evil cultivators, eight or nine had grudges against him, so he couldn’t help but laugh and asked:

"How did you provoke these people?"

Zheng Jiuling glared fiercely at Ye Qingchen and whispered, "You can still laugh. You should worry about yourself next!"

Indeed.

As soon as Zheng Jiuling finished speaking, the eyes of many evil cultivators present had already crossed paths.

Xing Nu folded his arms, coldly sweeping his gaze over the crowd. Noticing everyone looking greedily at Ye Qingchen, he chuckled and said, "I discovered this kid first. Do you all dare to fight me for him?"

"Xing Nu, this Valley of Life and Death is not your territory. You can’t hog all the good things!" A skeletal, almost unrecognizable middle-aged man said fiercely: "The last two Taotian Palace disciples ended up in your hands. Now it’s our turn, isn’t it?"

"Precisely!"

As soon as the skeletal man’s words came out, everyone echoed in agreement.

"Xing Nu, don’t push your luck!"

"Fortune changes hands, now it should be our turn!"

The group of evil cultivators were not to be outdone.

Only Ye Qingchen vaguely felt something was amiss.

These evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, suppressed in the Valley of Life and Death, bore deep hatred toward Taotian Palace disciples. Coming together to attack should be no problem, but now they were like wolves fighting for food, unwilling to give in to each other.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zheng Jiuling and asked with a frown: "What are these people doing?"

"Ah, you’ll know soon anyway, so there’s no harm in telling you!" Zheng Jiuling sighed, "In this Valley of Life and Death, spiritual energy is scarce. For us cultivators, maintaining our own cultivation is difficult here... If battles occur, things will get worse, and even dropping in cultivation realm is common!"

"So, every time a Taotian Palace disciple enters, they become everyone’s target! The pills on him, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, all can replenish spiritual energy."

"However, for most people, Taotian Palace disciples are even more enticing!"

At this, Zheng Jiuling couldn’t help but pause.

"Why?" Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes.

"Taotian Palace is a prestigious sect, disciples have solid foundations and abundant qi blood. Eating a piece of their flesh is more lasting than Heavenly and Earthly Treasures." Zheng Jiuling exhaled and said: "Most of the previous disciples were eaten!"

"And now, they’re fighting over the right to distribute you!"

"If you had given me pills and treasures earlier, I could have shown you a way out. But I didn’t expect these people to come so quickly and now I’ve been caught up in this too!"

Zheng Jiuling sighed, seemingly full of regret.

What?

As the words fell, Ye Qingchen’s gaze turned cold.

He only knew that Taotian Palace disciples would meet a horrible fate once entering the Valley of Life and Death. But he never expected they’d become ’walking sheep’ in the eyes of evil cultivators!

Thinking of this, killing intent surged wildly in Ye Qingchen’s eyes.

But neither Zheng Jiuling, Xing Nu, nor other evil cultivators present had put Ye Qingchen in their eyes. This kid, merely at the Human Immortal Second Layer, simply couldn’t stir up any waves; in their eyes, he was already like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered!

No matter what the outcome, so what?

"Heh heh, you want to fight me with just you lot?" Facing everyone’s competition, Xing Nu was not giving an inch, but instead coldly smiled and said: "Scram quickly, or I’ll eat you all too!"

"Courting death!"

The skeletal man, hearing this, flew into a rage. Each of them, outside these walls, was notorious, how could they suffer such insult?

He roared furiously, extending his arms like a bear beast, embraced a huge boulder, and brazenly hurled it towards Xing Nu. The skeletal man had the strength of someone in the Human Immortal Third and Fourth Layers. This fierce force focused on the rock, whistling like a meteor.

"Don’t you know life from death!"

Xing Nu sneered coldly, the Demonic Qi surging around him, transforming directly into a demonic figure. As the figure’s large arm stretched out, its five fingers suddenly grasped, crushing the giant stone into powder amid a thunderous roar.

"Everyone, let’s attack together!"

Upon seeing this, the disfigured man roared angrily, akin to a beast descending from the mountains, rushing swiftly towards Xing Nu to kill him.

The other evil cultivators present also let out loud roars.

These evil cultivators had long been deprived of Spiritual Qi replenishment, their cultivation strength had decreased to the limit, and without more Spiritual Qi from the outside, they would undoubtedly become prey for others.

Now seeing Ye Qingchen present, how could they easily give up?

At this moment, either deploying magic techniques, operating Cultivation Techniques, or unleashing divine might, they charged at Xing Nu like a pack of wolves.

"Kid, let’s go quickly!"

Seeing both sides engaging, Zheng Jiuling hurriedly called out.

"Go, why should we go?"

Ye Qingchen stood motionless.

"Oh dear, why so many questions?" Zheng Jiuling was immediately anxious, blowing his beard and glaring, "These people are going to eat you! If we don’t escape now, we won’t be able to leave later!"

While the two were speaking, the two sides had already clashed.

To outsiders, the disfigured man’s side had the advantage in numbers, with a total of twelve or thirteen, each a well-known evil elder in the Kunlun Realm. No matter how strong Xing Nu was, he was just one person!

However, the result was the opposite.

Seeing the approaching attackers, Xing Nu laughed heartily, showing not a trace of fear. Instead, he took a fierce step forward to meet their attack.

"Crash!"

He struck down with a palm, and the massive majestic figure behind him dropped the palm suddenly, like a heavenly canopy collapsing, mountains crashing down.

"Not good!"

The disfigured man exclaimed in alarm, just managing to raise his arms before forcefully taking the hit.

"Boom!"

A loud crash resounded.

Only to see the disfigured man’s arms snap, his entire body forcefully slammed into the ground by Xing Nu, and with a thunderous crash, most of his body was embedded into the earth.

Meanwhile.

Xing Nu, having struck down that palm, had already activated the figure, and the other three gigantic arms struck at the others. With a big grasp, he enveloped the rolling Demonic Qi like a Heaven and Earth Net, crushing the overwhelming attack sweeping down, and clutched the charging Ghost Cultivator Yin Spirit in his palm, crushing the soul to smithereens.

Then he collided head-on, like a frenzied beast, colliding with one incoming Demonic Cultivator, whose body exploded with crackling sounds, flying away like a kite with its string cut.

Finally, lifting a foot and chopping down like a giant axe, he crushed an evil cultivator’s head until it burst open.

"Bang bang bang!"

In almost the blink of an eye, Xing Nu had already clashed with more than ten evil cultivators in the field, and in an instant had already determined the victory. Five were immediately killed, with the remainder spurting blood and flying away on the spot.

Having done all this, Xing Nu turned his gaze, looking half-smilingly at Zheng Jiuling, who was stealthily moving his feet:

"Zheng Jiuling? Whichever leg you take a step with first, I’ll eat that leg first!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiuling’s face turned pale as if struck by lightning, frozen on the spot, unable to advance or retreat, his expression more distressed than crying.

"Now, who else wants to fight with me?"

Hands crossed behind his back, Xing Nu looked around smugly. Wherever his gaze landed, those evil cultivators all hung their heads with bitter expressions, not daring to meet his eyes.

They only knew that if they missed today’s chance, having suffered such severe injuries, their lives probably wouldn’t last much longer.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Xing Nu couldn’t hold back and laughed triumphantly.

However.

Just as his smile crept onto his face, it froze completely. A cold voice came from the side:

"Do you really think you’ve already won?"

Everyone turned their heads to find, surprisingly, it was Ye Qingchen, whom everyone regarded as prey, speaking!
