Tainted will

After Bai Ming left Teng city, he flew dozens of miles away from the city in a steady pace while his divine sense was constantly scanning his surroundings, but surprisingly he couldn\'t senses anyone following him.

\'Have they given up, no it should probably be the work of a high level cultivator using his divine sense to conceal their traces or they may have used some kind of concealment treasure.\' Bai Ming thought as he suddenly picked up his speed, he was only using his inate spirit realm flying ability and not his beast wings skill.

Suddenly, the ground shone as a ray of golden light shot out from it. The ray of light pointed at the sky where Bai Ming went and quickly went forward.

Below the ground, the three pseudo Yin-Yang realm elders sneered and dashed towards Bai Ming.

The disciples of the Evil dao valley were very excited. Hunting prey with the elders made them very excited.

Bai Ming let out a snort as he slashed at the ray of light with his mid grade treasure sword.

The horrific sword ray swept forward and immediately destroyed the golden light before continuing it\'s fearsome charge.

The evil dao valley members hurriedly dogged the sword ray, but soon a rain of sword Phantoms followed.

The disciples of the Evil dao valley all stopped, not daring to continue chasing as they began defending. Only the three pseudo Yin-Yang void cultivators didn\'t care. They continued chase after Bai Ming

The three elders quickly closed upon Bai Ming. While Bai Ming calmly waited for the elders to come closer, the instant they were only in hundred meter range from him, Bai Ming smiled coldly in his heart.

One of the cultivators waved his hand and a giant, black Mountain appeared. It circled him once, then he let out a cold smile and waved his hand. The black mountain smashed down at Bai Ming.

The elder with the black mountain shouted "Hand over the treasures you got at the lotus Treasure Pavilion, or die!"

As he spoke the mountain already smashed down, Bai Ming completely ignored his words while quickly retrieving the self sword formation from his robe and instantly activated it.

The elders expressions abruptly changed. With lighting speed, the tier-4 formation base immediately expanded in mid air. The three elders were undoubtedly trapped inside the formation.

The range of this formation was only three hundred meters, but if Bai Ming was able to use high tier formation flags and formation base while setting up the formation, the formation area could be drastically increased.

The black mountain was just inches away from Bai Ming, when he turned into sliver ball of light with formations help and charged out of the formation in a flash.

The three elders looked at each other before staring coldly at Bai Ming. The pseudo Yin-Yang void cultivator\'s smile became even colder as he controlled the mountain and repeatedly smashed into the barrier.

The other two elders also took out their respective treasures from their bag of holding, before bombarding the formation with ferocious attacks.

Bai Ming took one look at them before shifting his gaze filled with dense killing intent on the group of cultivators outside.

\'Three minutes before the formation gets broken.\' Bai Ming thought as he opened his mouth and spat out a ray of green light.

"Treasure! See i told you he has many high quality treasures." Wu hai immediately shouted with all his might, feeling relived in his heart.

Just as he said those words, a green light appeared before his eyes as a flying sword stabbed toward him. Wu hai was frozen in fear, he couldn\'t even react. When he felt pain as the flying sword went through his chest and pierced his heart and came out the other side. Then his despairing eyes lost their luster and his lifeless body fell down.

A spirit realm cultivator died just like that. This was the usefulness of a superior grade treasure. Particularly when the treasure had inate ability such as teleportation skill, it was just an blessing for cultivators who owned them, while also a headache as it would incur other people\'s greed.

After killing him the flying sword immediately flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of demonic path cultivators. What just happened was simply too dangerous. Even with Wu hai\'s initial stage cultivation, he was effortlessly killed. Also, the light that that sword released showed that it wasn\'t a simple treasure. The demonic path cultivators instantly came to a conclusion that if they were hit by it, they would have also died on the spot.

The two 3rd layer and three 1st layer spirit realm cultivators right away took out several defensive treasures from their storage bags, creating a strong defense around them.

While the core formation cultivators crazily began retreating, getting far away as possible.

As for the pseudo Yin-Yang void cultivators inside the formation felt greed taking over their hearts as they looked at the flying sword with burning gazes. The urge to kill Bai Ming for that treasure became even stronger.

Their attacking speed immediately went up a notch, they even began using strange techniques to form a hole in the formation.

An extremely evil killing intent suddenly surged out from Bai Ming like a catastrophic tsunami, making even these demonic path cultivators surprised.

The sword light flashed four more times in the battlefield, taking the lowly lives of the four core formation realm cultivators with minimum effort.

The spirit realm cultivators outside the formation didn\'t even glance at thier dead Junior\'s, their terror filled eyes were glued at Bai Ming.

\'Only a minute before the formation collapses, I\'ll have to finish this quickly.\' Bai Ming looked down from high above as the flying sword appeared behind him.

Primeval sword art-5th layer.

Primeval sword art-4th layer.

Hundred and eight sword Phantoms manifested behind Bai Ming before raining down at the spirit realm cultivators, along with a ten meter wide sword Phantom which moved forward with unwavering might.

The cultivators immediately counter attacked using all kinds of techniques and throwing out various treasures, but even with their numbers and advantage in cultivation level, Bai Ming still had the upper hand by a large margin.

It was only natural, Bai Ming not only had supreme grandmaster attainment and battle qi, he also cultivated the seven deities cultivation mantra. Even though he only had 1st layer spirit realm cultivation, his spiritual essence storage was comparable to a regular seventh layer spirit realm cultivator.

Green light flashed once again and appeared ten meters before a 3rd layer spirit realm cultivator.

The evil dao valley disciple hurriedly pointed at the green light and dozens of lightning balls appeared that shot toward the green light.

The moment the lightning balls touched the green light, it exploded.

The green light continued toward him and hit the glittering azure armor, with much difficulty the green light was stopped by the armor, it immediately flashed and disappeared.

\'It\'s a good thing I quickly used this protective high quality treasure or else I would have already died. But it can only take few strikes like that before it gets destroyed, should I retreat.\' This thought immediately surfaced in that person\'s mind as he saw the deep sword mark in his armor.

Bai Ming secretly sighed, as the green sword appeared beside him. He felt it was a pity that he could not kill them with just his flying sword.

Just at this moment, Bai Ming grabbed the flying sword and pointed it towards the band of cultivators. His gaze became even colder and his hair flowed wildly in the wind.

The ancient flying sword suddenly released an extremely fiery aura around it.

Soon, a mass of purple flames appeared and embraced the flying sword. The moment the fire appeared, the air surrounding the area immediately became hotter. This purple flame was Bai Ming\'s other ace besides his flying sword. Since he had already used the flying sword, he didn\'t want to use this purple flame essence and display all of his cards, who knows how it can incite people\'s greed and bring more trouble to him. It was best to only use this purple flame when absolutely necessary. If that wasn\'t the case, with Bai Ming\'s personality, he would have used it at the start and killed the enemies before letting it get to this stage. However, since the killing them would require considerable amount of time and by that time the pseudo Yin-Yang void cultivators would already break the formation making him loose much of his advantage, he had no choice but to use it.

The moment the purple flame appeared, the five spirit realm cultivators faces turned deathly pale. Before they could do anything, the flying sword disappeared once again.

The flaming sword immediately appeared and murderously collided against the defensive armor of that 3rd layer spirit realm cultivator.

The armor didn\'t even last a second before breaking down. In the blink of an eye, his body was immediately drowned by the purple flame essence and disappeared. He didn\'t even have time to scream.

The rest of them didn\'t hesitate to split up and retreat. However, the flying swords speed was just too terrifying, within just ten seconds all the spirit realm cultivators outside the formation were mercilessly burnt alive.

Bai Ming didn\'t feel much joy, without wasting a second he dashed at the formation, But he was still a tad bit slower.

Crack, crack, crack...

The three pseudo Yin-Yang void realm cultivators just made a huge hole in the self sword formation before drifting out.

"He is no ordinary spirit realm cultivator. He must be someone from a 1st grade sect outside the Tiannan province, if he was from our province we would have definitely heard about him from the higher ups in the valley. And that evil killing intent, it looks like he is also from a demonic path sect and cultivates an extremely evil technique."

"If we kill him now we can get that superior grade flying sword and all treasures he has and but if we can somehow capture him then we will also be able to extract that terrifying flame essence, but.."

"But capturing this person is not possible, even with the three of us working together it will be just too much. Let\'s kill him quickly, we can\'t let a person like this grow. He might hold a grudge against us in the future if we let him escape."

The three elders secretly conversed, thier resolution to kill Bai Ming had only gotten stronger.

At this instant, Bai Ming was expressionless as he swiftly sheathed his mid grade treasure sword and tightly held the ancient flying sword.

The aura surrounding Bai Ming instantly underwent a subtle change, Bai Ming slowly raised his sword into the air as if he was going to fight the heavens.

An extremely dangerous aura began spreading from the sword. Streams of immense Spiritual Power gathered on his body, which was also packed with frightening muscular strength.

Bai Ming arrogantly glanced at the three pseudo Yin-Yang void realm cultivators, he spoke in an arrogant tone, "Be honoured."

"Self Sword technique-wrath!"

An absolutely terrifying Sword ray surged forth like a streak of thunderbolt, the massive sword ray was atleast five hundred meters wide.

The moment it appeared, Heaven and Earth seemed to move for it.

Through Bai Ming\'s all-out exertion, the power of the technique all the more reached an unbelievable level.

The three elders instantly paled in fright, thier hearts sank to rock bottom. The scent of death filled their body and soul making them turn even more ferocious in desperation.

They also began to display their strongest Killing Moves while madly throwing out all kinds of treasures.

All the defensive treasures were cut apart like butter, their efforts were pitifully futile.

One of them brandished a sledgehammer which struck ferociously like a giant mountain toward the sword ray, before getting disintegrated.

The other person held a scarlet longsword. He raised both arms and slashed forth with an earth-splitting vigor, but it was far from enough.

"Forgive me" Suddenly the elder with the black mountain spoke as he hurriedly destroyed a teleportation jade tablet without any hesitation, immediately his body vanished without a trace to be seen.

"Fuck!" The two elders immediately cursed, intense hatred rose in their hearts.

In a twinkling, the incomparably powerful sword ray reached them and engulfed them, before crashing down on the ground.

Boom!

A harsh explosion was clearly heard. Waves of residual energy swept in all directions from the spot where the spiritual ray crashed, a five hundred meter long rift was immediately created on the ground.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Bai Ming\'s breathing was irregular, he took dozens of breaths to just compose himself. The earlier attack had drained him completely of his spiritual essence, there wasn\'t even a drop of it remaining.

Bai Ming\'s face was dull, even though he was satisfied about destructive strength of his newly created peak extremity grade sword technique. A person had gotten away, this certainly didn\'t go well with Bai Ming. After all Bai Ming was a alluring treasure trove in that elders eyes. Even if he couldn\'t get it, he might inform others either to take revenge or gain some benefits.

Using his divine sense to locate the enemy was useless, he couldn\'t locate them before how could he do it now.

As for chasing him was also a bad idea, firstly Bai Ming was unaware of direction he needed to search. As for searching every single direction even while using his beast wings was not wise, even with the help of beast wings his chances of encountering the elder was extremely slim. And even if Bai Ming miraculously met the elder after a long search, he might have backup. Most importantly Bai Ming was out of spiritual essence. After accounting all this Bai Ming gave up on chasing after him.

Bai Ming shook his head and retrieved his formation back, more than half of the formation flags were destroyed, this was another expenditure for Bai Ming.

Next, he quickly collected his loot, four core formation bodies and one initial stage spirit realm body along with their storage bags, as for the others both their bodies and storage bag\'s were turned to dust under Bai Ming\'s purple flame essence and Self-Sword technique.

Bai Ming quickly absorbed hundreds of spirit stones and swiftly flew back to the Teng city. After all, he had some work to do.
