Chapter 102 Success
The Blood Refining Array was destroyed, and Qin Zhongshan's efforts ultimately failed.
Although he had opened the gateway between heaven and earth, he had not yet condensed a complete Dharma form. Moreover, because the great formation was destroyed, his own body also suffered considerable damage.
The physical injuries are secondary; the most serious concern is that they may leave hidden dangers for his future foundation. If he cannot condense his Dharma form in one fell swoop today, the difficulty of condensing a complete Dharma form again in the future will likely increase tenfold.
Moreover, the evil cultivators who were guarding the core of the formation also suffered backlash due to the destruction of the formation. As a result, they had no choice but to retreat today.
Qin Zhongshan closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and recover from his injuries. Before long, the righteous experts who had been scattered throughout the county had regrouped.
"Qin Zhongshan, man proposes, God disposes." Yuan Daotong looked at Qin Zhongshan and said, "You painstakingly set up this Blood Refining Array to lure us in, but in the end, it all failed, didn't it?"
Du Zizhan also spoke up: "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. Qin Zhongshan, even Heaven is not on your side. You are destined to bring about your own destruction!"
"God? Heh!" Qin Zhongshan's injuries had mostly healed by now. He sneered and stood up: "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven. Since this damned God won't help me, one day I'll make sure to tear a hole in this damned God!"
Qin Zhongshan's eyes flashed with resentment as he said bitterly, "You bunch of bastards, you were all supposed to die here today, becoming stepping stones for my advancement to the Dharma Aspect stage! How despicable, how utterly despicable!"
His gaze was fixed on the distance, and he said coldly, "Since you're here, come out! I want to see who this person is who has ruined my plans!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fei appeared from a distance, followed by the still-present Overlord Dharma Image.
The Overlord Dharma Image can only be maintained for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn each time it is summoned, and Lin Fei naturally wants to make full use of that time.
As soon as Lin Fei appeared, all the righteous people recognized him.
"Is it Master Mingxin of the Jade Emperor Sect? Didn't he die at the White Lotus Sect branch?"
"Could it be that he destroyed this Blood Refining Formation?"
"The one following behind him is Dharma Image? My God, it really is Dharma Image!"
……
Lin Fei's appearance elicited a variety of expressions from the crowd, including surprise, joy, and even disappointment.
The Overlord Dharma Image following behind Lin Fei surprised everyone even more.
Qin Zhongshan clearly did not recognize Lin Fei. Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you a disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect?"
"Jade Emperor Sect, Mingxin." Lin Fei cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Zhongshan.
"Jade Emperor Sect, Mingxin? Jade Emperor Sect, Mingxin!" Qin Zhongshan muttered to himself several times, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Very good, very good! I never thought my meticulous plan would be ruined by a mere Taoist priest! Very well, I will remember you!"
As he spoke, Qin Zhongshan's eyes flashed with boundless killing intent: "Little Taoist, how dare you ruin my plans! I'll take your life!"
A flash of red light appeared in his hand, and the Nine Nether Demon Claw was already on his grasp. He swung the claw through the air, grabbing towards Lin Fei.
"Overlord Dharma Form!" Lin Fei knew that Qin Zhongshan was far beyond his current strength to contend with, and he did not want to reveal too much of his own strength, so he had no choice but to send the Overlord Dharma Form to block Qin Zhongshan.
The Overlord's Dharma responded and charged forward, its spear shadows flashing across the sky, blocking Qin Zhongshan's deadly attack.
"Pfft!" Qin Zhongshan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, while the Overlord Dharma Image also took two steps back, its figure flickering, showing a faint tendency to dissipate.
This Qin Zhongshan is truly extraordinary. After opening the gate between heaven and earth, he actually possesses the ability to directly contend with the Overlord Dharma Aspect, who is at the first level of the Dharma Aspect realm.
"Good, good, what a Overlord Spear! This must be the Overlord Dharma Image of the Xiang family of Xiaxiang, right?" Qin Zhongshan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You little Taoist priest are lucky today. I will remember you. I will settle this score with you one day!"
As he spoke, a blood-red gate suddenly appeared behind Qin Zhongshan, radiating a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine, its destination unknown.
"Little Taoist priest, and you so-called righteous fellows, one day I will return and settle the score with you for today!" With that, Qin Zhongshan turned and leaped into the blood-red gate, disappearing from sight.
"You scoundrel, don't run away!" Zhong Lijiang shouted, about to give chase, but Du Zizhan grabbed him.
“There’s no need to chase him,” Du Zizhan said. “Qin Zhongshan has already opened the gate to the heavens and earth. As you have all seen, he can now fight directly against people at the Dharma Aspect Realm. I’m afraid none of the people here are his match. Chasing after him would only be suicide.”
"Brother Du is right," Yuan Daotong echoed. "Besides, we don't know where the other side of that door leads. Now that we've driven him out of Xijiang County, we've successfully completed our mission. Don't pursue a cornered enemy; let him go!"
Yuan Daotong turned his gaze to Lin Fei and said with a smile, "Today, we are all thanks to the young Daoist Mingxin. Otherwise, we would probably all be dead here today!"
“Indeed, if it weren’t for Daoist Mingxin today, we would all probably have died in Qin Zhongshan’s Blood Refining Formation!” Du Zizhan said, and then bowed directly to Lin Fei: “On behalf of the 100,000 people of Xijiang County, I thank Daoist for saving our lives!”
This Du Zizhan was a rising star among the younger generation of the Du family, a top ten expert on the Fengyun Ranking. How could Lin Fei really let him kneel before him? He quickly helped him up, saying, "Benefactor Du, there's no need for such formality. I merely happened to be there. How could I possibly deserve such a great gesture from you?"
Just as Du Zizhan was bowing to Lin Fei, Yuan Daotong circled the Overlord Dharma Image several times, looking it up and down, and exclaimed in amazement: "Impressive, truly impressive! This is the Overlord Dharma Image of the Xiang family of Xiaxiang, right? How did you manage to get your hands on it?"
Now that Qin Zhongshan has fled, the Overlord Dharma Image is of no use. Lin Fei waved his hand and put the Overlord Dharma Image away: "I happened to meet Brother Xiang Boyue, and he gave it to me."
"'Xiang Boyue, the Overlord's Wrathful Spear'?" Zhongli Jiang exclaimed, "I've heard he's quite an extraordinary fellow. I never imagined that you, Daoist, would know him! You truly have great fortune!"
"It seems that Junior Brother has indeed had quite a few fortuitous encounters this time!" Mingci said at this moment. "I was heartbroken that Junior Brother had an accident. It's wonderful that Junior Brother has returned safely."
