Bing Rong, the Divine Monarch bathed in red twilight, was not weak in mana, and his Red Yin Flying Fork was also quite formidable, battling the two Pure Yang Immortal Swords with no clear winner.
Yet this stalemate seemed inconceivable to him and was unacceptable!
How high was Zhu Changyuan's Dao level? How long had he been cultivating? It was detestable that his effort of several hundred years could not swiftly resolve the battle!
At this moment, Shi Feiyang was using the Chaos Dragon Ball to forcibly absorb the Heavenly Plague Ball.
This Magical Treasure, the Heavenly Plague Ball, was purely condensed from the plague poison qi he had painstakingly gathered for hundreds of years. Once it was deployed into the sky, it would disseminate plague poisonous qi. Any breathing creature that caught a whiff would feverishly cough blood, vomit and suffer diarrhea until death; after some time, even fish, turtles, insects, and snakes would succumb to body rot and extinction.
In a spell duel, if he fought desperately in an emergency, he could even cause it to explode, dispersing all the contained poison plague qi. With his own essence energy enhancing its potency, it would become even more terrifying and incurable, inevitably causing boundless disaster.
In a sense, this object could be considered a "tactical-level magical nuclear weapon"!
Previously, when Shi Feiyang had removed the plague poison qi released by this ball, it left him seething. Now, to have the sphere itself forcibly taken away, he was filled with secret venomous hatred. He bit the tip of his tongue and pointed forward while pinching a Spiritual Formula. A streak of blood light shot from his fingertip to the ball, causing the Heavenly Plague Ball to explode in the air. He then sacrificed the mountain treasure, the Red Flood Dragon Scissors, turning them into two streaks of red flood dragons that flew towards Zhu Changyuan.
His plan was to first slaughter Zhu Changyuan, then spread the plague throughout the city of Tianjin. Even if it led to boundless killing karma, those opposing him would have to bear the responsibility of cause and effect.
Once spurred on by his essence blood, the Heavenly Plague Ball burst open, releasing thousands of yellow dust clouds!
The heavy yellow dust spread in all directions, turning into yellow smoke that soared into the clouds, dyeing the white clouds yellow, surging out in all directions, covering a range of a hundred miles!
He had assumed that, given the vast lethal range of the Heavenly Plague Ball, even if the other party had some powerful Protective Dharma Treasure that allowed for immediate escape, they couldn't avoid being thrown into chaos, and the people below would inevitably be infected.
He had previously investigated and calculated that Shi Feiyang, acting as the State Preceptor, had created this Mingyu Immortal Market, likely aiming to achieve something significant. He decided to start by destroying this place!
However, he did not know the wondrous use of Shi Feiyang's Chaos Dragon Ball.
The treasure bead hung in the air, releasing Five-Colored Radiance. As the Heavenly Plague Ball exploded, the colorful light also extended outward. Each strand of yellow smoke mixed with streaks of color, almost indiscernible to the naked eye, yet capturing every speck of dust and every wisp of plague poison qi.
The people below, seeing the yellow dust explode and darken the sky, felt as if facing the end of the world, panicking and losing their composure.
Before they could find shelter, the yellow dust that covered the sky rapidly contracted into a single point, and light returned to the world in a matter of moments.
Shi Feiyang retrieved the Dragon Ball, with Five-Colored Radiance wrapping around clusters of yellow qi.
He could refine the plague poison qi and integrate it for later use when attacking others with the Dragon Ball, releasing this type of plague qi.
However, Shi Feiyang found this substance too filthy and disdained using poison plague techniques, so he imprisoned it by casting a spell, condensing it into eight Plague Pearls, and temporarily sealed them away.
In the air, Zhu Changyuan was ambushed by the Red Flood Dragon Scissors. The treasure transformed into two red flood dragons, head to head, tail to tail, nearly cutting Zhu Changyuan in half with a snap, who managed to escape by flapping his wings and stepping through the Nine Palaces at a critical moment.
Then, the twin dragons returned, the second snip coming diagonally from the right rear, nearly severing off one of his wings.
After stabilizing himself with difficulty, Zhu Changyuan shook his wings vigorously, from which three hundred and sixty Black Feather Heavenly Feather Arrows flew out densely and continuously struck the Red Flood Dragon Scissors, exploding with a cacophony of metallic clanging and a shower of sparks.
Bing Rong tried to use the Red Flood Dragon Scissors to cut through these feathered arrows, but they were incessantly battered, causing the scissors' light to dim and their potency to decline.
He exhaled True Qi, attempting to clamp the arrows with the scissors, but their dimmed light greatly reduced their power, rendering them unable to cut the arrows apart.
Enraged, Bing Rong operated both the fork and the scissors while casting a large number of Blood Transformation Divine Nails.
Those nails, upon leaving his hand, transformed into countless crimson blood threads seeking to turn Zhu Changyuan and his two large wings into a sieve.
Shi Feiyang knew that Zhu Changyuan could not best Bing Rong, and though he still had the Three Talents Fire Cloud Ring from Red Flower Grandmother, the vast difference in Daoist power meant any slight misstep could result in Zhu Changyuan being bisected. Thus, he once again sacrificed the Dragon Ball, collecting the blood threads from the sky into his hand, turning them into nine fine nails.
Bing Rong watched, eyes nearly bleeding with rage, as the mass of blood threads about to kill Zhu Changyuan was forcibly collected by the Five-colored Radiance, turning into a scream of fury, he released the unrefined Black Evil Flags. He stretched all ten fingers into his mouth, biting them until they bled, and flicked his blood out.
As the flags unfurled in the sky, they exuded thick Evil Qi, descending upon the Immortal Market like a Ghost City of Hell coming down upon Mount Taishan.
Shi Feiyang saw countless red lights flickering within the flag gate and knew that powerful evil skills were hidden inside.
He directly summoned the Five Directions Divine Halberd, a mountain treasure produced by the Golden Ship.
The treasure transformed into a halberd-shaped radiance in the air, with its blade glinting fiercely, and in one fell swoop, it split the Black Evil Flag Gate in two. Bing Rong had planned to use this trump card to fight desperately with Shi Feiyang, never imagining that Shi Feiyang could unleash such a formidable ancient treasure. The Black Evil Flag was instantly divided, and as the five-colored light flashed in his face, Bing Rong had no chance to react before being bisected!
Bing Rong had hundreds of years of Daoist power, and his Primordial Spirit was quite consolidated. As his flesh and blood body split in two and fell, his Primordial Spirit flew out amidst the blood, both frantic and terrified. Knowing he could not defeat his adversary, he dared not linger any longer. He let out a long cry and quickly shot a red silhouette towards the west.
After a few flashes, he was dozens of miles away when suddenly, a large cluster of white smoke violently exploded in front of him. Within the smoke billowed countless tiny white pear blossoms, from which a tall, thin Daoist appeared, wielding a treasure sword and shouted loudly, "Demon Bing Rong, I am the Hundred Demon Daoist Feng Wu, acting under the Dragon Emperor's decree to capture you!"
Bing Rong pointed a finger and shot the Red Yin Flying Fork out, which Daoist Feng Wu blocked with his flying sword.
At that moment, colorful smoke burst out from both sides: within the purple smoke appeared orchids, and within the pink smoke appeared tea flowers, each with a man and a woman inside, who were Wei Fengniang and Zhong Ang respectively.
Together they shouted, "How dare you, Bing Rong, cease your resistance and surrender! Follow us to face judgment before the Dragon Emperor!" One wielded the White Light Sword, the other the Golden Flower Flying Blades.
Unafraid and resolute, Bing Rong fought all three alone, with his Taiyin Flying Fork flying up and down, warding off their attacks. He then released the Red Flood Dragon Scissors, first snipping Feng Wu in two.
Thinking that his Red Flood Dragon Scissors could damage people's Primordial Spirits and scatter their souls, he didn't expect that, after Feng Wu's Primordial Spirit divided, more white smoke would burst forth, with pear blossoms manifesting within, and Feng Wu regenerating among the flowers!
Realizing this place was no longer safe, Bing Rong was about to resort to desperate spellcasting to break through the siege and escape with his Primordial Spirit when suddenly, splashes of blood-red appeared out of nowhere. Within the blood red, it seemed as if shadows flickered, but they weren't clear, and all he could hear were bursts of infant laughter.
When Feng Wu, Wei Fengniang, and the others saw the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon emerge, they all retreated as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Shi Feiyang, using the Five Directions Divine Halberd, had cleaved Bing Rong's body apart, and then released nine Demon Infants, saying, "With a feast before you, go and enjoy yourselves!"
Bing Rong's bisected body fell bloodily; the Dharma Body he'd cultivated for hundreds of years was full of Essence Energy. The nine Demon Infants, drawn in, turned into faint blood shadows and flew over to support both halves of the body. They sucked vigorously, and his body was soon reduced to just skin-covered skeletons, the nine demons having drained every bit of his Essence Energy, leaving no essence behind.
The two halves of the body shrunk rapidly until they were just over a foot tall and then finally crumbled into a puff of bone and Tribulation Ash, scattering in the wind.
The Nine Demons were powerful; from the moment Bing Rong's body was split until it turned to bone powder, it took but a mere few breaths, and not a single drop of blood reached the ground.
Shi Feiyang then sent the Nine Demons after Bing Rong's Primordial Spirit. They, appearing as nine faint blood shadows, raced away with lightning speed, and with the collapsed Black Evil Flag Gate offering concealment below, aside from Xu Feiniang, even Fan Zi couldn't make out what had happened.
Shi Feiyang invoked the Nine Heavens Gang Wind with Immortal Law, dispersing the pervading Black Evil Qi, and ended up with six small black flags in his hand.
Bing Rong had also spent considerable effort in the sacrificial refinement of this Black Evil Flag Gate; its only shortcoming was the lack of a Divine Demon to preside over it, making it a semi-finished product.
Bing Rong had come this time intending to kill Zhu Changyuan and Shi Feiyang and to refine their Primordial Spirits into the Divine Demon Restriction within the flag.
Shortly afterward, several nearly invisible red beams returned, which Shi Feiyang casually pocketed—these were the nine Demon Infants bringing back Bing Rong's captured Primordial Spirit.
Xu Feiniang had initially planned that if Bing Rong and Shi Feiyang couldn't contain all the Poison Plague Qi, she was ready to help with the harnessing using the Primordial End Qi and to assist with Elixirs to treat the plague. If Shi Feiyang could easily triumph and kill Bing Rong, she would step in to plead on his behalf, sparing Bing Rong's life so he could be used against the Emei Sect in the future.
However, Shi Feiyang acted too quickly; the outcome was decided in the blink of an eye, and Xu Feiniang simply didn't have time to save him. Following Bing Rong's escape, as Shi Feiyang released the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, Xu Feiniang knew Bing Rong was finished and thus dismissed the thought, approaching Shi Feiyang with a smile to congratulate him:
"That Bing Rong was one of the Six Demons of Zhongtiao Mountain, who was once notoriously rampant. He joined forces with the Three Fiends of Heng Mountain to give us Wutai Sect a hard time. I have long wanted to settle the score with them. Later, five of the demons died under Master Changmei's Green Rope Sword, leaving only him to hide away from the world and vanish from sight, never thinking he'd be bold enough to provoke you here, Shi. He brought it upon himself to die and lose his soul!"
Shi Feiyang accepted Xu Feiniang's goodwill with a smile. When this woman sought to flatter, she could truly make one feel "bathed in spring breeze," every word pleasant and comfortable.
Xu Feiniang then brought Fan Zi over, and introduced him to Shi Feiyang, "Master Shi, you, me, and his master are close friends. You founded this Mingyu Immortal Market single-handedly. In the future, as he refines swords here, he will surely rely on your care."
Fan Zi respectfully greeted Shi Feiyang, addressing him as uncle master.
While he went to deal with Bing Rong's aftermath, Xu Feiniang seemed eager to converse, asking him, "Everything about this Immortal Market is wonderful, encompassing all kinds of heaven and earth's treasures, truly a paradise for Cultivators. Since being here, I do not even wish to go to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm. The only flaw is the absence of Demon Souls or Demon Spirits for sale. I had hoped to complete the Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword here, but despite a long search, I found none."
Shi Feiyang had actually considered this issue, with pros and cons difficult to weigh, he was still hesitant.
Xu Feiniang added, "I suppose Bing Rong's Primordial Spirit must have fallen into your hands by now, haven't they? I wonder how much you plan to sell it for?"
