Chapter 528: Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

As the two figures drew closer, Qin Sang perceived their low cultivation level. He could activate his ebony sword and escape.

However, this was the most critical moment for his Body-Tempering Pill formation. If he used the ebony sword to fight, the excessive consumption of energy might make it impossible to suppress the three forces, leading to failure.

Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Sang's mind in an instant.

If Qin Sang still didn't realize that the anomaly was caused by the Pure Yang Gang essence in his hand, he would be foolish. There must be secrets on Divine Gang Peak that he wasn't aware of!

Such violent Ancestral Sacred Fire, contained at the peak of Divine Gang Peak, was likely related to these jade-like Pure Yang Gang essences.

Qin Sang stared at the thread-like stream of fire, which was slowly drifting closer to him.

After the initial shock, Qin Sang calmed down and realized that this fire stream was not the true Ancestral Sacred Fire, but merely some of its dissipated power manifesting as an illusion.

The formation sealing the Ancestral Sacred Fire was not easily damaged; the main body of the Ancestral Sacred Fire remained firmly contained at the mountain peak.

It was good that it wasn't the Ancestral Sacred Fire itself. Although this power was still formidable, there was some room for manipulation!

Thinking this, a plan suddenly formed in Qin Sang's mind. He hardened his resolve and made a decision. He abruptly pressed his palm to the ground, grabbing the Pure Yang Gang essence embedded there!

By now, the Pure Yang Gang essence had been almost completely absorbed by Qin Sang, leaving only a tiny fragment. As Qin Sang gripped it firmly, a crisp cracking sound was heard.

Immediately after, wisps of incredibly rich Gang Qi surged from between Qin Sang's fingers. Qin Sang absorbed all of it into his body, leaving none behind!

Upon hearing the sound of the Gang Jade shattering, the two from the Pure Yang Demonic Sect changed color in unison!

"Impudent!"

"Audacious!"

The two flew into a rage. Their figures darted like lightning, rushing over. They saw only one person, hidden in a rock crevice, with their back to them, completely ignoring their warnings and self-absorbedly absorbing the Gang Jade.

Although it was only a back view and they couldn't see the person's face, they immediately confirmed that the person destroying the Gang Jade was not one of their disciples!

Someone was stealing Pure Yang Gang essence!

"Who are you?"

The two were filled with shock, questioning sharply. They couldn't have imagined that an outsider could secretly infiltrate their sect's vital area, Divine Gang Peak!

Had this person not destroyed the Gang Jade and caused the anomaly, their entire sect might still be oblivious.

Unexpectedly, the person seemed not to hear them. He still didn't turn his head, focused entirely on absorbing the Pure Yang Divine Gang. The Gang Qi缠绕 around his fingertips grew thicker and thicker as he fully absorbed the fragments of the Gang Jade.

"You're asking for death!"

The two roared furiously, exchanged glances, and immediately activated their Pure Yang Demonic Flame. The two demonic flames transformed into two fiery spears, almost simultaneously, like two green dragons, fiercely thrusting towards Qin Sang's back.

*Sizzle!*

The fiery spears moved with astonishing speed, shooting like lightning. Qin Sang was completely defenseless from behind, and it seemed he would be pierced by the spears.

Just then, Qin Sang suddenly moved.

The stone crevice was located in the middle of a massive black rock. The rock had split into two halves but had not toppled sideways, forming a winding crevice wide enough for three people to pass through.

The Pure Yang Gang essence was embedded in the ground within this crevice.

Qin Sang hadn't yet absorbed all the Gang Qi. He still held the fragments of the Pure Yang Gang essence, then pushed off with his feet. Maintaining his cross-legged posture, his body darted forward like a toad with a *whoosh*, proving even more agile than the fiery spears.

Qin Sang's figure moved fluidly, easily evading the fiery spears, and in a blink of an eye, he plunged deep into the crevice.

"Stop!"

How could the two allow Qin Sang to escape? They immediately chased after him without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, as they entered the crevice and passed the spot where Qin Sang had been, they suddenly heard an ear-splitting sword cry from ahead. Then, a sword light appeared from deep within the crevice.

The sword light rushed towards them, reaching them in an instant.

Feeling the power carried by the flying sword, the two were aghast.

"A magic treasure!"

The two cried out, frantically throwing out their Pure Yang Demonic Flames to block the flying sword, then instinctively retreated in a panic.

They hadn't sensed any powerful aura from Qin Sang. Who would have thought he could wield a magic treasure? With their cultivation level, they absolutely dared not directly confront a magic treasure.

Immediately after, a scene that stunned them unfolded.

*Boom!*

The flying sword and their Pure Yang Demonic Flames clashed head-on.

With a crisp *clang*, the flying sword was directly struck back by the Pure Yang Demonic Flames, powerless to retaliate. It fell to the ground, then soared into the air, wobbling as it flew back.

They thought they had seen things, then realized that this flying sword was merely a showy but weak embroidered pillow!

Only the material of this flying sword upheld the dignity of a magic treasure; its main body forcibly withstood the impact of the two Pure Yang Demonic Flames and still appeared undamaged.

Seeing this, the two's faces alternated between green and pale, filled with vexation.

Suddenly, they felt something was wrong. They quickly looked up, and their expressions stiffened abruptly.

The wind and cloud vortex above was rapidly descending. Their current position was precisely where the Gang Jade had been, with the center of the vortex directly above them!

Deep within the vortex, the stream of fire had dissipated at some unknown point.

The wind and cloud vortex was filled with dense green light. The green light fluctuated along with the chaotic winds, clouds, and lightning, appearing to the naked eye like flickering green flames.

The green light, along with the wind and cloud vortex, descended with astonishing power from the sky, instantly tearing apart the black rocks on both sides of the crevice, pulverizing them into dust.

In an instant, terrifying pressure descended. The two tightened their bodies, finding themselves trapped as if in a quagmire, unable to move!

"No good! Quickly raise the fire flag!"

One of them shouted urgently.

The other awoke as if from a dream, hurriedly pulling out a human-tall triangular green flag from his interspatial bag. He planted it between them, and then both worked together, pouring their Pure Yang Demonic Flames into the fire flag without reserve.

The green flag was adorned with a pattern resembling demonic flames. As the real Pure Yang Demonic Flames were infused, the flames on the pattern came alive.

At this moment, they no longer cared about Qin Sang; saving their own lives was paramount.

*Whoosh!*

The fire flag glowed brightly, suddenly releasing a fire barrier that enveloped the two.

The next moment, the green light descended, instantly destroying the surrounding terrain, demonstrating its formidable power.

Only a massive, continuously rotating vortex remained on the ground, sweeping up stones of various sizes with astonishing momentum. It was impossible to see what the center of the vortex had become.

Qin Sang stood at the edge of the wind and cloud vortex.

The green light, merely an afterglow manifestation of the Ancestral Sacred Fire, had caused such extensive destruction!

By now, Qin Sang was certain that the Ancestral Sacred Fire and the Pure Yang Demonic Flame were from the same source. Those two had saved their lives using the fire flag.

Qin Sang did not possess the Pure Yang Demonic Flame. He couldn't force his way into the green light, as that would provoke the Ancestral Sacred Fire and bring disaster upon himself.

However, as long as the green light persisted, they wouldn't be able to escape or send out any messages.
