Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

However, Li Chengfeng didn't give them any chance.

He summoned a cloud of thunder, and acid rain poured down, drenching these Soul Devouring Sect disciples to the bone.

They screamed in agony, eventually turning into puddles of cold water, reeking with a foul stench.

Ma Weiguang, Du Hai, Ma Zhen, and the four Puppet Sect disciples witnessed all of this, utterly shocked, their hearts filled with trepidation and fear.

To save his life, Ma Weiguang began to curry favor with Li Chengfeng, saying, "Esteemed Soul Devouring Sect Daoist, please show mercy and spare this Ma Zhen girl.

She is beautiful and still untouched, I beg you to sample her!"

Ma Zhen was filled with anger, resentment, and shame, but she was helpless and could only shed tears.

This was the cruel reality of the cultivation world; to survive, people often did things that went against their conscience and morals.

Du Hai, likewise, chose to betray his friendship with Ma Zhen at this critical moment, siding with Ma Weiguang and even pushing Ma Zhen towards Li Chengfeng.

This betrayal made Ma Zhen even more desperate and pained.

However, in this cruel world, the weak often had no choice but to be at the mercy of others.

Li Chengfeng walked out of the ghostly mist with a sneer, his gaze sweeping over the outer sect disciples of the Puppet Sect, finally settling on Ma Weiguang.

He said indifferently, "Ma Weiguang, we meet again.

You little rascal, you dared to plot against me. Today, I will send you on your way first."

"You are Tian Ku! How could you be alright after eating my poison pill? That's impossible! How could you possess such a powerful Soul Devouring Banner!" Ma Weiguang exclaimed in horror.

Before he could finish speaking, a huge fireball directly blasted towards Ma Weiguang.

Ma Weiguang didn't even have time to react before he was engulfed by the fireball, turning into ashes.

His storage bag and soul were absorbed by the small banner in Li Chengfeng's hand, as if he had never existed.

Immediately afterward, Li Chengfeng easily used the Soul Devouring Banner to engulf the Puppet Sect disciples, drawing them into it.

The Soul Devouring Banner spun in the air, devouring their souls and blood essence.

This blood essence flowed along the magical patterns of the Soul Devouring Banner into Li Chengfeng's body, and the Kun Peng Dharma Idol behind him faintly appeared, appearing exceptionally powerful.

This scene left Du Hai and Ma Zhen dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Li Chengfeng to kill Ma Weiguang so decisively, without even giving him a chance to explain.

Du Hai exclaimed, "So it's Daoist Tian Ku! I didn't expect you to hide so deeply and to be so powerful. You actually possess the Soul Devouring Sect's Soul Devouring Banner, what exactly are you…?"

He looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief, while Ma Zhen's face was extremely pale. She asked in a trembling voice, "Daoist Tian Ku, could it be that you are a Soul Devouring Sect disciple who infiltrated the Puppet Sect?"

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said indifferently, "Not so. I merely obtained a cultivation method by chance, and the Soul Devouring Banner I cultivated is somewhat similar to that of the Soul Devouring Sect. I have no connection with the Soul Devouring Sect."

He examined the spiritual herbs he had obtained from Ma Weiguang and the other Soul Devouring Sect disciples, nodding in satisfaction.

These spiritual herbs were enough for him to refine two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, yielding a total of ten pills, which was a considerable gain for him.

Seeing this, Du Hai quickly said, "Daoist Tian Ku, you are so powerful. From now on, Ma Zhen and I will follow your lead and obey your orders."

Li Chengfeng said decisively, "No need. Du Hai, just the two of us are enough to enter the Puppet Sect.

You even swindled me out of twenty middle-grade spirit stones. It's time to settle that debt."

Du Hai was filled with apprehension, his expression solemn and respectful, showing humility and reverence, saying, "Master, I will offer all the spirit stones to you!

And I will keep my mouth shut and never reveal a word."

Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a smile, and he said softly, "You know how to assess the situation, but I always adhere to one principle: only the dead can keep secrets."

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he no longer had any patience for Du Hai, because he knew that once the secret of cultivating the Soul Devouring Sect's Soul Devouring Banner was revealed, it would attract endless trouble.

Therefore, both Ma Zhen and Du Hai had to be eliminated.

He was not a soft-hearted person, and he never hesitated to deal with those who threatened his safety.

Upon hearing this, Du Hai's face changed drastically. He had never imagined that Li Chengfeng would be so decisive in killing people.

He knew that in the face of such a ruthless and secretive demonic cultivator, only begging for mercy could save his life.

So, he knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Please spare my life, Master!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned around, summoning his flying sword and attempting to flee.

Li Chengfeng smiled coldly and flicked his finger, instantly piercing Du Hai's heart with a Decaying Finger.

Before he could react, he was caught by the tornado of the Soul Devouring Banner, and his ghostly aura was drawn into the Soul Devouring Banner.

The Soul Devouring Banner emitted a "crack, crack" sound, and then a dried corpse fell from it, while the storage bag had already been collected by Li Chengfeng into the storage bag on his waist.

The whole process was clean and efficient, as natural as flowing water, showing how skilled he was in killing people and seizing treasures.

Ma Zhen was also shocked by the scene before her, and she was almost speechless. She stared blankly at Li Chengfeng, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She said in a trembling voice, "Daoist Tian Ku, you are truly ruthless.

In the Puppet Sect, the three of us were acquaintances, yet you kill without hesitation, showing no mercy. Could it be that you want to kill a weak woman like me too?"

Li Chengfeng said expressionlessly and without hesitation, "What about a woman? Wouldn't a woman betray me?

My current identity is sensitive, and I have too many secrets on me.

Moreover, I only believe the words of the dead. So, I'm really sorry, but if there is an afterlife, you should not choose to cultivate."

With that, Li Chengfeng prepared to strike.

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhen just smiled faintly and said softly, "I never expected that I would have to reveal my true form here.

As you said, only the dead can keep secrets. In that case, I would like to see Daoist Tian Ku's unique skills."

Before she finished speaking, she parted her crimson lips, and with a breath, a long sword flew out of its sheath like a rainbow, steadily landing in her jade hand.

In an instant, a sharp sword intent burst out from her body, completely different from the carefree Ma Zhen of before.

This sword intent was like a mountain torrent, causing Li Chengfeng to feel immense pressure, knowing that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

He stared at Ma Zhen, the cold light flashing in those eyes, like a drawn sword, incomparably sharp.

Li Chengfeng understood in his heart that this woman must be a top disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, and her cultivation had reached the peak of Qi training, perfect and flawless.

He had fought with disciples of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect several times and knew their unique sword aura well.

In the past, he had felt the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect Master's sword aura, which was as turbulent as the sea. Now, facing this disciple, although he felt awe, he did not take a step back.

He knew that the people of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect must have some ulterior motive for disguising themselves and hiding within the Puppet Sect.

Now that he knew this secret, endless trouble awaited him.

Therefore, he was determined to kill Ma Zhen and search her soul to find out the truth.

Thinking of this, he smiled coldly and said, "So Daoist is a disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, truly living up to the name.

Today, I will learn from your skills."

As he spoke, he slowly took a step back, and with a wave of his hand, nine blood shadows appeared around Ma Zhen.

A strange sword formation instantly formed, it was the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Ma Zhen's pupils shrank, and she said in disbelief, "Daoist actually has nine blood shadows, truly making me look at you in a new light.

Not only can you use the Soul Devouring Sect's Soul Devouring Banner, but you also know the Kun Peng Blood Demon Great Art of the Blood Demon. I am very curious about who you really are. You are definitely not from the Puppet Sect."
