As for Xiao Qingqing, who was inside the Guqiao Village, after exploding with the third form of the Green Wood Sword Art, her Fa Li was almost completely used up. At this moment, she seemed extremely weak, as if she could fall to the ground at any time.
Soon enough, everyone saw a sorry figure rush out from the spot where the short-lived flower had erupted. Looking around, they discovered that it was actually Liu Heng. He was actually able to survive under such a terrifying move!
Liu Heng's clothes were tattered, and he looked like a beggar. His eyes were blood-red, and he wanted to kill Xiao Qingqing, who was already extremely weak, with his sword.
When Xiao Qingqing saw this, her pupils constricted. She wanted to block, but all the Fa Li in her body had already been drained away. Even lifting the sword would be extremely strenuous, so how could she block it?
Immediately, she narrowed her eyes as she looked in a daze at the man heading in her direction. Even the villagers behind her couldn't help but suck in a breath as their eyes filled with anxiety.
Right at this moment, a ray of sword light streaked across the sky. Suddenly, Liu Heng's body, which was rushing forward, split into two halves, bringing along a blood-red light figure.
In a split-second, Liu Heng was cut in half from the waist. Perhaps until his death, he didn't know that other than Xiao Qingqing, there was a stronger opponent watching him from afar.
When they saw that Liu Heng had completely died, the villagers of Guqiao Village all became excited. They all rushed out one by one, and it was only then that Xiao Qingqing saw Shi Ling calmly walk over with Ang Ling'er following behind him.
Xiao Qingqing kept the Feathered Butterfly Sword back into the Storage Ring and said, "I thought you would really watch while I get bullied."
Shi Ling saw that the girl was a little angry, so he smiled bitterly and walked over. He put a hand on her shoulder and smiled: "What? Are you angry? "
Xiao Qingqing shook her head at this moment. Naturally, she wasn't really angry, because she clearly understood the reason why Shi Ling didn't come out to help her when he saw that she was in danger.
Because, she knew Shi Ling was very clear that Liu Heng and those rotten sweet potatoes he brought were unable to do anything to her. So, Shi Ling just used this chance to let her go through a lot of training.
When she thought of this, Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but laugh out loud. The current villagers of Guqiao Village, on the other hand, had already run to the corpses of the people from Evil Ghost Cult, and started to trample on them crazily, as if they were trying to vent the anger they had received from Evil Ghost Cult by using this method.
When Xiao Qingqing saw this, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "I really don't understand. What use do you want mortals like them? Any random Blood Coagulation cultivator would be able to wipe them out with ease. Even if all the people from the other eleven villages were to join together, the outcome would probably not be any better, would it? "
Shi Ling took out three White Spirit Pill s from his own Heart Ring and gave them to Xiao Qingqing, telling her to eat them to recover her mana first. Then he said: "I want to form an alliance with them, of course I have my reasons. If they are really useless to me, I won't waste my time on them!"
When Xiao Qingqing swallowed the White Spirit Pill at the side, she revealed a puzzled expression, but did not ask any further.
However, Shi Ling suddenly looked at Liu Heng's body and said to the tyrannical villagers, "Don't ruin that person's corpse. It'll be useful later on!"
Hearing this, the villagers stopped torturing Liu Heng's corpse and retreated one by one.
Afterwards, Shi Ling raised his hand and beckoned. The next moment, he saw the Storage Ring on Liu Heng's finger fly out and land in Shi Ling's hands. Shi Ling said calmly: "First, you should properly recover.
Ang Ling'er and Xiao Qingqing agreed and said, "So soon to go to the next village?" "Why don't you take a day off before going?"
Shi Ling shook his head, and said: "Our actions here should have already been exposed by the Evil Ghost Cult, no one knows when they will send out an even stronger expert to suppress the scene."
When Ang Ling'er and Xiao Qingqing heard this, they fell silent. Xiao Qingqing then sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.
Because the third form of the Green Wood Sword Art was a short-lived, short term, and was considered a highly destructive martial skill, after a short period of explosive power, it would cause the caster's mana to be sucked dry in an instant, and also cause a short period of weakness. This was the same as Shi Ling using the Floral Pupil to fight with, but luckily, Xiao Qingqing's period of weakness was relatively short, and with the help of the White Spirit Pill, it allowed her mana to quickly recover.
Afterwards, Shi Ling packed up Liu Heng's corpse, and together with Xiao Qingqing and Ang Ling'er, he brought the villagers of Guqiao Village to the neighboring villages to ask them to join the alliance.
When the people of the other villages saw that the people of Guqiao Village had all joined in the Qianhe Village and even killed one of the protectors of Evil Ghost Cult, the people of the villages trembled. After being persuaded by Shi Ling and the others, they quickly agreed to the alliance of Shi Ling and the others.
And when a second village joined Qianhe Village, there was then a third and fourth village. After arriving, Shi Ling didn't even take the initiative to look for those villages, but they ran over themselves, indicating that they wanted to form an alliance. Shi Ling was naturally happy to see that happen.
Of course, in the process, it was naturally the experts of Evil Ghost Cult who stopped him. But as long as there were no strong experts of Bone Melting Stage, they were basically killed by Shi Ling. And the powerful strength Shi Ling displayed also made these villagers more confident when facing Evil Ghost Cult.
Until dawn, Shi Ling calculated that most of the villages in the Dongling Valley area had been gathered together, with a total of nearly five thousand people. Among them, excluding the elderly, women, and children, there were over three thousand able-bodied men.
After counting the number of people, Shi Ling called everyone here to a very secretive cave outside of the Qianhe Village Village. Although Shi Ling's overall strength was already quite great, if they were to fight against the people from Evil Ghost Cult, they would probably die a large number of times.
Thus, it was best to hide first and accumulate strength.
That night, Shi Ling found a place with no one around and took out Liu Heng's body. He then pressed his finger to Liu Heng's forehead and read his memory. Although Xiao Bai had fallen into a deep slumber, Shi Ling was able to use the mana left behind to read Liu Heng's memory.
Through Liu Heng's memories, Shi Ling found out that the people of the thirteen villages were all imprisoned somewhere. According to these memories, Shi Ling quickly thought of a way to deal with the Evil Ghost Cult, but he did not immediately tell the villagers about it, instead, he took out Liu Heng's Storage Ring and imbued it with Fa Li. He then filled the Heart Ring with all of the cultivation resources, but Shi Ling actually picked out the Flame Crystal Stone among them.
At this moment, Shi Ling wanted to use these Flame Crystal Stone to clear the fourth Fire Acupoint and become a Tier 2 alchemist!
