Chapter 228: Chapter 146: The Young Exorcist

Shenshang Plain, as far as the eye can see, is lush and vast, but under the night fog, the expansive forest is a dark, endless mass, devoid of its rightful verdance.

The trees sway, leaves rustle, and a faint green mist flows, wrapping around Qin Ming, making him seem as if he’s about to leave the ground, floating forward.

Traveling through the forest, his body light and nimble, overwhelmed by the Yimu Qi, brimming with vitality, his footfalls on the grass and leaves take him far with each step, as though he’s being carried by the green haze.

"Yimu Qi also has this wonderful use." Qin Ming is slightly surprised, it not only saves his strength, the pale green light enveloping him is like a dose of Spiritual Medicine entering his body, slowly purifying his flesh and nourishing his spirit.

In such surroundings, his steps swift as flight, he seems to be riding the plant essences, his hair fluttering, like a Banished Immortal traveling through the night.

In the ink-like night sky, several crimson streaks of lightning flash by, as if carrying Flowing Fire, about to descend upon the earth.

"Is a torrential downpour coming?" Qin Ming looks up, far away clouds churn, making the already dim plain even darker, limitless.

Several figures from the Human Clan enter his sight, Qin Ming recognizes three of them, who like the Alien Species, once regarded him as prey, hunting him down.

He meanders in the green fog, changes direction, stepping on the grass and leaves, silent as an elf of the forest, blending seamlessly into the environment.

None of the five can detect him immediately, still hastening on their way.

Only within two meters’ proximity does one abruptly turn back, his face a picture of shock, thrusting the long spear in his hand with a flash of cold light in haste.

Qin Ming’s right hand flicks, accompanied by Green Mist, and with a clanging sound, the fine iron tip of the spear is shattered into scraps by his bare hand, falling to the ground.

"It’s you!"

The group pales in shock, the youth, once hunted by demons and on the brink of death, now exudes a fresh forest scent, immense strength filling him, causing their hearts to tremble.

"Who is organizing you to hunt me down?" Qin Ming asks.

A young woman replies, "Brother, you misunderstood, we heard the demons are vying for a silver heart and wanted to snatch it, but then we unexpectedly ran into you."

A middle-aged man nods, adding, "Yeah, brother, we really didn’t mean to target you, we just happened to encounter you and were even contemplating helping. You mistook our intentions and immediately fled."

Qin Ming’s expression is cold. What’s the point of such explanations? Even they must feel their excuses are feeble, already clutching their Weapons tightly.

He punches out, Yimu Essence from all around frenziedly converges, his fist’s radiance surpassing its limits with a bang, the man holding the broken spear and his weapon explode together.

"Brother, we’re both from the Human Clan, you... you can’t do this!" the woman yells, but her bright Silver Blade slashes sharply towards him.

Qin Ming slaps out, her silver long blade shattering into several pieces, his green palm light passes over, her head flies off, and her headless body falls to the ground.

In an instant, the other three attacking are also seriously injured, lying on the ground coughing up blood.

"Brother, spare us, it was wrong of us to have such greed, to conspire with those demons against you," a young man pleads.

Qin Ming resonates with their spirits, confirming that it was indeed greed that motivated them, but he shows no mercy; Yimu Essence surges under his feet, pulverizing them.

"I was terrified, with a demeanor so ethereal and Close to Immortal, but his actions are scarier than any Demon!" a Green Finch mutters to itself, pondering how to report this.

"Poof!"

It explodes, its green feathers stained with blood, fluttering down the night sky.

Qin Ming puts away his bow, continuing on his way.

Deep in the night sky, a massive White Peacock hovers, a small bird comes from afar, reporting: "This task is too dangerous, we’ve already lost over a dozen brothers, and now we no longer wish to continue, not responsible for watching over this territory anymore, this isn’t a bird’s job!"

Shenshang Plain is no longer so chaotic, most of the Long lived Demons have already returned to their own territories.

Only a handful of Demons still roam, and their Daoist cultivation is not shallow, they are formidable figures.

Qin Ming catches sight of a gigantic one-eyed Black Elephant, its dark and rough trunk flailing, smashing a great swath of trees, and also crushing many boulders blocking its path.

It is very angry, its right eye blinded by a Jade Iron Arrow, the single eye cold and solitary, the Old Elephant now more irritable and extremely dangerous, seeking revenge.

Beside it, there’s another creature of similar size, also with two long white tusks, its body muscular and powerful, actually a Pig Demon.

"Hmm? I smell him!" The Elephant Clan’s sense of smell is even keener than that of dogs, the Black Elephant senses the nearing Qin Ming.

Of course, this is because Qin Ming has not deliberately concealed himself, wishing to use it to truly test his mettle.

"Both so fat-headed with wide mouths and projecting teeth, aside from the length of your noses, you really do resemble each other, truly a pair of pig-headed brothers!"

With just one sentence from Qin Ming, the faces of the two immense creatures both turn cold.

With a thundering boom, the black boar charges, shaking the earth, stirring up sand and stones, its powerful momentum shattering many trees. However, it doesn’t charge at Qin Ming but turns to flee into the depths of the night.

"This has nothing to do with me!" It leaves only this message behind, bearing two Short Blades sharpened from pig tusks on its back, crashing into the forest, vanishing completely.

Qin Ming is taken aback, it just ran away?

The Black Elephant is furious, better off without such a brother, utterly unreliable at a critical moment. Then, it too becomes cowardly, because it can truly feel the intense and frightening Yimu Qi exuding from the youth, making it a bit intimidated.
