142: Chapter 142 Obtaining Intelligence

The shocking scene of Lin Qing instantly crushing three Demon Seeds not only shook the hearts of the Xuanye Demon Court Prodigies, but after learning that this unfamiliar Senior Brother was Lin Qing, Ling Shu and the other four within the barrier were also left dumbfounded.

Before this, they had always believed that Lin Qing was an Immortal Sect Prodigy on the same level as themselves, which was why they had previously invited Lin Qing to form a team.

When Lin Qing refused at the time, they had thought he was cold-natured and disliked teaming up with others. Now it seemed he had simply looked down on their group's lack of strength.

Realizing this, the five of them, including Ling Shu, all wore bitter smiles, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Since his identity had already been guessed, there was no need to hide it any longer.

Lin Qing's facial features began to distort, the ordinary face used for concealment fading away to reveal a handsome countenance with clear skin and sharp brows. His figure also slightly stretched, becoming tall and slender with an imposing aura.

Below, the three Demon Seeds who had been slammed into the ground forced themselves to stand up despite the intense pain throughout their bodies. With grave expressions, they locked their gazes onto Lin Qing high in the sky.

The Demon Court Heavenly Ranking Disciple who had previously crossed paths with Lin Qing spoke up to warn them: "Three Lords! You must not engage him in close-quarters combat!"

"This person's Physical Body combat strength is terrifyingly peerless. Everyone, attack together and use Spells to restrain him!"

That was how their group had done it back then; it was only by relying on their group's Spell restraint and long-range attrition that he had managed to save his life from Lin Qing's hands.

The Demon Court Disciples knew that a formidable enemy was before them and that this was a life-or-death moment. Without hesitation, more than a dozen Demon Court Heavenly Ranking Prodigies attacked simultaneously. Various high-Rank Spells formed instantly, densely crushing toward Lin Qing.

Compared to his Physical Body, Lin Qing's Spiritual Power was indeed slightly weaker. Ever since activating the Innate Mysterious Fetus, his Physical Body had been tempered day and night, long ago reaching an unfathomable level.

His Spiritual Power cultivation was currently still at Rank 7, and it was estimated to take another half a year before his Breakthrough to Rank 8.

But no matter what, setting aside the Five Elements Spiritual Power, even if he only used a single type of Spiritual Power, Lin Qing being 'weaker' was only relative to his own Physical Body.

Several months had passed since he last fought a group of Rank 7 Demon Court members, and the improvement he had made in these few months was something these Demon Court Disciples might need years, or even over a decade, of bitter cultivation to achieve.

Therefore, even though there were three additional Rank 8 Demon Seeds opposite him, facing the overwhelming barrage of Spells, Lin Qing remained calm and unhurried.

Crimson Spiritual Power soared into the sky, condensing into a lifelike red spirit bird. With a light tap of his finger, thousands of strands of Spiritual Power condensed into a torrent of Flying Swords.

Boom, boom, boom! High in the sky, the roaring sounds of Spell collisions were endless.

From time to time, some Rank 7 Disciples would be harvested by Lin Qing. These ordinary Heavenly Ranking Disciples had limited intelligence and no value for Soul Searching Technique, so Lin Qing did not hold back and killed them directly whenever there was an opportunity.

In just a short moment, the battle situation began to tilt in Lin Qing's favor.

Just at this moment, a loud shout came from deep within the valley: "Lin Qing, stop!"

A figure in black could be seen rushing out rapidly; it was none other than the number one on the Demon Court Heavenly Ranking, Ming Ye!

Ming Ye was restraining dozens of ragged, terrified Mortal Realm Cultivators, staring fixedly at Lin Qing high above, with the clear intention of killing these dozens of Mortal Realm Cultivators if things didn't go his way.

Everyone's eyes were also focused on Lin Qing high above, wanting to see what choice he would make.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing curled his lips slightly and spat out two words in a low voice: "Moron."

Not only that, Ming Ye's shout had attracted the attention of some Rank 7 Heavenly Ranking Disciples. This fleeting opening was captured by Lin Qing, and he took the opportunity to end the lives of a few more Rank 7 Disciples.

In fact, from the very beginning, Lin Qing's Divine Thought had been covering the entire battlefield. Ming Ye's shallow means of concealing his aura could naturally not deceive Lin Qing, and his little maneuver of quietly slipping into the valley had been seen clearly by Lin Qing.

Because Ming Ye was the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, he might know some special intelligence, which was why Lin Qing had not specifically acted to kill him.

Even if he wanted to run away, could he escape Lin Qing's Divine Thought coverage range of over two hundred thousand li in a short time?

It had taken Lin Qing the time of an incense stick to cover the distance from where his Divine Thought reached here to actually arriving. At Ming Ye's speed, it would take at least several hours to barely escape the range of his Divine Thought.

Wanting to catch up to him was simply effortless for Lin Qing.

Ming Ye clearly heard Lin Qing's insult, his face turning green and red with anger. He gripped the hostages tightly and roared hysterically: "Lin Qing! Stop pretending! Don't you Immortal Sect people claim to be righteous?"

"Noisy."

Lin Qing's gaze turned cold; he couldn't be bothered to listen to Ming Ye anymore. A beam of extremely condensed Spiritual Power shot out from his fingertip, piercing through the air!

Ming Ye was still immersed in the rage of his plan failing and being humiliated in public, completely defenseless.

Puchi — —! The sharp beam of Spiritual Power accurately pierced through the center of his brow!

Ming Ye's whole body stiffened, and the violence, madness, and unwillingness in his eyes instantly froze.

This number one on the Xuanye Demon Court Heavenly Ranking fell to the ground just like that, losing his life instantly.

The battle continued, and as time passed, those Rank 7 Disciples fell one by one.

On the battlefield, only the three Rank 8 Demon Seeds were left struggling to hold on.

But without the crowd of Prodigies to divert the firepower, the three of them faced the full force of Lin Qing's offensive. Their Spiritual Power was consumed rapidly, their auras gradually withered, and bloodstains of varying depths constantly appeared on their bodies; they had already reached the end of their rope.

After another Spell collision, Lin Qing seized the opportunity, his figure flashing to appear before one of the Rank 8 Demon Seeds.

The opponent was already unable to parry, his pupils shrinking, his face full of terror, with no time to make any defensive moves.

Lin Qing slammed a punch into his abdomen!

Surging, scorching Fire-element Spiritual Power poured into his body along with the force of the punch, rampaging wildly through his Meridians, flesh, and Dantian.

If it were during this Demon Seed's peak period, without using Five Elements Spiritual Power, Lin Qing's Spiritual Qi might not necessarily have formed such overwhelming destructive power.

Unfortunately, his Spiritual Power was now exhausted, and he was completely unable to resist. In an instant, the Meridians in his body were completely shattered, his Dantian damaged, and his cultivation collapsed.

After resolving one, the remaining two were like fish on a chopping block.

Lin Qing followed suit and crippled the other two Rank 8 Demon Seeds. The three of them completely lost their combat ability, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

Afterward, Lin Qing cast Soul Searching Technique on the three of them in turn. A massive torrent of memories washed over his mind, and countless pieces of intelligence and Cultivation Techniques were read by Lin Qing.

Spells were already useless to Lin Qing. Besides some information about the Demon Seeds, Lin Qing obtained two Rank 8 Cultivation Techniques.

The higher the Rank of a Cultivation Technique, the rarer it was. According to their memories, there were no more than five Rank 8 Cultivation Techniques in the entire Demon Court. Being able to obtain two from these three people now could already be considered quite lucky.

Besides this, Lin Qing also obtained a piece of crucial intelligence.

This time, the Demon Court had not only sent these three Demon Seeds; there were already Demon Seeds acting in other places, launching a hunt against Immortal Sect Disciples.
