Chapter 0341 Extracting Spirit Runes

Chapter 0341 Extracting Spirit Runes

Qin Yun took out more than ten high-grade bone talismans and stepped out of the caravan.

"Holding out like this isn't helping anyone!" Zi Qingcheng suddenly said, "If a spirit beast arrives and interrupts us, we will all be injured!"

"Hmph, once our Mystic Mirror's sealing power breaks your defense, you're done for!"

"Zi Qingcheng, you won't last much longer!"

"Our earlier talisman artifacts exploded and severely injured you. Just surrender already!"

Zi Qingcheng scoffed with a cold laugh, "This Mystic Mirror sealing device is connected to your souls. If you fail and are interrupted, your souls will surely be torn apart. You're really taking a risk!"

The gray-haired elder snorted, "As long as we capture you alive, we can capture Xiao Yuelan alive, obtain the Burial Immortal Chart, and return to Wuhuang immediately!"

"Once we report back, we can finally leave this hellhole! You've been hoarding Xiao Yuelan, keeping the Burial Immortal Chart from us! Clearly, you want to monopolize the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ground!"

Suddenly, someone spotted Qin Yun!

"Kid, who the hell are you?" a yellow-haired elder asked, seeing Qin Yun approaching from the caravan.

"I'm your daddy, Qin Yun!" Qin Yun quickly walked over and slapped a talisman on the yellow-haired elder's forehead.

The elders collectively gasped, their eyes wide with shock!

Seeing Qin Yun disheveled and emerging from the caravan, they immediately jumped to conclusions!

"Zi Qingcheng, you're absolutely vile! To get your hands on Qin Yun's soul refinement techniques and the Qiwen Sect's secrets, you stooped to seduction!"

"Who would have thought that Zi Qingcheng, known as the pure and aloof Purple Jade Maiden, would stoop so low as to compromise her purity and have an affair with a kid in a flying caravan!"

"Zi Qingcheng, Qin Yun is married to Xiao Yuelan. You seduced a married man! If this gets out in Wuhuang, no one will believe their ears!"

Zi Qingcheng trembled with rage, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Fatty, I warned you this would cause trouble!" Qin Yun cursed under his breath.

He stormed over to the elders and delivered sharp slaps across their faces.

The gray-robed elder, having been slapped several times, roared in fury, "Qin Yun, you're digging your own grave!"

Qin Yun sneered, "You're about to die, yet you still have so much to say!"

By now, each elder had a talisman stuck to their forehead and had been slapped more than a dozen times by Qin Yun!

Keep in mind, these elders were at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Body Realm. Such strength held considerable status in their sect, yet they were being humiliated by a young man slapping their faces!

Slapping faces doesn't harm the body, but it wounds pride!

This humiliation made them wish they could devour Qin Yun alive!

"Qin Yun, what kind of talisman is that? Let's talk this over!" one elder suddenly said with fear.

"High-grade poison spirit runes, capable of inflicting spirit rune poisoning. I don't know how effective they are. I made over twenty of these, but I've never used them before!"

Qin Yun chuckled, "You think Zi Qingcheng and I had a fling? That's nonsense, but if you live, you'll spread lies. So, you're not walking out of here alive!"

After speaking, he activated the more than a dozen poison spirit talismans.

The talismans immediately emitted black smoke, releasing streams of talisman power that seeped into their foreheads.

"Ah—"

"Ahhhhh!"

The elders screamed in agony, dropped the mirrors they were holding, and rolled on the ground.

Zi Qingcheng's slender frame went limp, nearly collapsing, but Qin Yun quickly walked over and supported her.

"So heavy, and you still say you're not fat!" Qin Yun held Zi Qingcheng, teasing, then carefully placed her on the ground.

The elders were all poisoned, twisting in agony on the ground.

Qin Yun walked over and collected all the Xuan Mirror sealing artifacts.

He then went to take the storage spirit artifacts from the elders, but found they were all bound by blood oaths, so he was forced to destroy them.

"Qin Yun, you should have just killed them quickly earlier, instead of using talismans on them unnecessarily!"

Zi Qingcheng, now much more relaxed, quickly began to heal her injuries.

"That's not an option. I need to extract their martial souls!" Qin Yun chuckled as he walked over to a gray-haired elder and began extracting his martial soul.

Soon, the elder let out a series of screams akin to a pig's.

"Golden Sword Martial Soul, what a trash martial soul!" Qin Yun was somewhat disappointed, but every little bit counts, so he kept it for now.

The other elders, though severely poisoned and injured, were still at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Body Realm, so death wouldn't come swiftly.

Thus, they could all witness Qin Yun's process of extracting their martial souls!

Zi Qingcheng also watched with wide eyes, inwardly stunned...

Soon, continuous screams resembling a pig's echoed as Qin Yun extracted the martial souls from the elders one by one.

"The strongest is only a Platinum Ice Martial Soul, sigh... nothing but trash martial souls, wasting my energy!" Qin Yun placed the martial souls into soul-sealing beads and stored them carefully.

The poisoned elders lying on the ground were filled with immense hatred, their hearts aching, utterly despairing.

What angered them the most was that Qin Yun, after extracting their martial souls, dared to disdain them!

"Qin Yun, we bear no grudge against you, why are you so cruel to us? At such a young age, you're already so vicious, you'll surely become a demon in the future!" the gray-haired elder roared.

"Bah! Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to capture Yuelan alive? She's my wife, and you wanted to capture her and take her Burial Immortal Map, and you still claim we have no enmity?" Qin Yun snorted, pulling out a furnace.

"Also, even though you're about to die, I still want to tell you, nothing happened between me and Zi Qingcheng! She's nowhere near capable of seducing me!"

After speaking, Qin Yun tossed the elders one by one into the furnace, then used Nether Yang Purple Fire to activate the alchemy runes inside, turning them into ash.

"Let's get out of here quickly! We've already crossed the Yunlong River, and this place is incredibly perilous!"

Zi Qingcheng suddenly sensed a powerful Demon Beast aura and urgently said.

She stood up, grabbed Qin Yun, and hurried toward the RV.

Once inside, she quickly controlled the RV to take off, quickly soaring away from the scene.

Not long after, the carriage landed because Zi Qingcheng was growing increasingly weak, though the reason was unclear.

The purple-gold carriage landed on a large tree, stuck among the dense branches.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Yun was also somewhat worried about Zi Qingcheng.

As a warrior of the Spirit Martial realm, a severe injury would leave her vulnerable to powerful Demon Beasts.

"I was injured by a rune weapon..." Zi Qingcheng bit her lip and whispered, "Once hit by a rune weapon, spiritual patterns are branded onto the body! If the patterns aren't removed in time, they can cause significant harm!"

"I’ve got this. Where are those spiritual patterns?" Qin Yun rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"Here... here!" Zi Qingcheng rubbed her heart area with her hand.

Qin Yun frowned and said, "This spot’s a bit tricky... It’s going to be awkward..."

"There's also one on my back. There are two spiritual patterns branded on me, one on the front and one on the back!"

Zi Qingcheng sighed helplessly, "Those guys were ready for me. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be their prisoner by now!"

"Hmph, and you tied me up! If I hadn’t gotten myself free, we’d both be toast! You’re so reckless!" Qin Yun snapped.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault!" Zi Qingcheng said, full of regret.

She was also surprised that Qin Yun could untie her rope, which was a Mystic-grade spiritual artifact.

Qin Yun walked behind her and said, "Let me take care of the one on your back first."

Zi Qingcheng nodded slightly, then turned around, her back facing Qin Yun.

Her purple dress slid down, revealing her delicate, snow-white back and her slender, jade-like waist.

Qin Yun glanced at her radiant back but stayed focused on the black spiritual pattern etched into her skin.

He reached out and rubbed the spiritual pattern on Zi Qingcheng's back, then couldn't help but say, "You’ve got a bit of softness here, huh?"

"Ah—you pest, hurry up and focus!" Zi Qingcheng said with a light scold.

Qin Yun didn't know what kind of spiritual pattern it was, but it seemed to have both visible and hidden elements.

He said, "It might take me some time. I need to collect the spiritual pattern on your back. It might be useful to me!"

"It’s quite complex, probably a King-grade spiritual pattern! The ones I’ve seen are mostly Advanced, with very few Elite and King-grade ones!"

He quickly pulled out a brush and parchment, carefully sketching the spiritual pattern on Zi Qingcheng’s back.

Zi Qingcheng wanted to scream. Her condition was dire, but Qin Yun was busy scribbling down the spiritual pattern like he’d struck gold.

It took Qin Yun a good while to record the spiritual pattern. Then, channeling his Blood Soul Power and mental energy, he swiftly erased the black spiritual pattern in mere moments.

"That was quick! If it were me, it’d take months to get rid of that thing!" Although Zi Qingcheng was dissatisfied with Qin Yun, she couldn't help but praise his ability.

"You can take care of the front one yourself!" Qin Yun said with a smirk. "I’m a gentleman, after all."

It was the first time Zi Qingcheng had met a man who seemed completely unfazed by her.

After all, back in Wuhuang, the number of powerful suitors chasing her could fill the entire courtyard of the Purple Spirit Star Palace.

"No, you have to help me remove that spiritual mark quickly! If I do it myself, it will take more than half a year, which is a waste of my time and energy!" Zi Qingcheng bit her lip and made a difficult decision.

Qin Yun looked at her seriously and said, "This was your idea, so don't blame me later! Also, you must keep it a secret!"

"I don't need you to tell me that; I will keep it a secret!" Zi Qingcheng snorted. "If I retreat into seclusion for half a year, the situation outside might change, and I won't have time to respond. During this period, I need to stay in top shape at all times. For the sake of the bigger picture, I can only..."

Before she could finish, Qin Yun reached out and pulled down her dress.

Zi Qingcheng was stunned, not expecting Qin Yun to be so swift...

She bit her red lips, shut her eyes tight, and her heart raced... as if bracing for the storm!
