The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 106 - 93 Qi Qingsong is Quite Harsh on Himself_1

"Tsk tsk, that really is tragic."

Luo Hongyan stood by the pool, washed two storage bracelets in the less blood-stained water, and then wore them on her snow-white left arm.

The two storage bracelets each belonged to Yuan Lengshan and Lan Xi.

"Alas, what a pity for that robe; I could have used it too."

She shook her head with a sigh, her bright eyes falling on Qi Qingsong and the other two, her lips curled in a playful smile.

Qi Qingsong, Dong Tianze, and Lin Beiye were all silent with somber faces.

Since Pang Jian returned to the darkness, they had always remained silent, not daring to make a move against Luo Hongyan, watching her scavenge the storage bracelets of Yuan Lengshan and Lan Xi.

—Yuan Lengshan’s death was incredibly tragic.

Lan Xi’s death came from a sudden attack by Pang Jian from behind and could be considered accidental.

Yuan Lengshan, with higher talent and greater strength than Lan Xi, was brutally annihilated by Pang Jian, right before their eyes, in a gruesomely bloody manner!

Yuan Lengshan burst into a mist of blood, falling into the pool, leaving not even bones behind.

After Pang Jian returned to the darkness, three differently colored waterfalls, each hiding different powers, seemed to hang in the depths of their minds!

"Didn’t you want the Crystal-clear Snow Lotus?"

Dong Tianze suddenly turned his head to look at the silent Lin Beiye and harshly said, "If you don’t seize it now, are you waiting for Pang Jian to come out of the darkness and join forces with the Demon Girl to kill us?"

Lin Beiye’s face was somber, and he quietly glanced at Luo Hongyan but said nothing.

Qi Qingsong shook his head with a bitter smile, also choosing not to express any opinion.

Knowing that he couldn’t avoid his fate, Dong Tianze urged in a deep voice, "We’re at this point; what are you hesitating for? Once Pang Jian comes out and joins forces with that Demon Girl, they will only be more difficult to handle. I definitely can’t escape this; won’t it be the same for you?"

Qi Qingsong still responded with a bitter smile and silence.

Lin Beiye thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes shimmered with a ferocious light, ready to nod in agreement.

Not far away, Luo Hongyan watched the three with a beaming smile, clearly aware of what they were whispering about.

"Huh!"

Pang Jian suddenly stepped out from the dark alleyway.

Glancing at the ground, he picked up the now-cooler Astonishing Spear.

Just as Lin Beiye was about to act, he caught sight of Pang Jian approaching with the spear, saw the coldness in Pang Jian’s eyes, and thought of the brutal image of Yuan Lengshan’s death, and he hesitated again.

"Pang Jian, they’re discussing joining forces to deal with us."

Luo Hongyan chuckled softly, raising her arm adorned with the two bracelets, and said, "I got two storage bracelets, even better than your bag. They truly are the disciples of the Demon Sect, each equipped with such fine items."

"Mm, when there’s no one else in the way, I’ll give you a storage bracelet."

"Good."

Pang Jian responded briefly.

While Lin Beiye hesitated, Pang Jian shot toward Dong Tianze like an arrow released from a bow.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

A series of pitch-black orbs of light exploded in the air above the heads of Dong Tianze, Lin Beiye, and Qi Qingsong, not even giving them the chance to speak.

Qi Qingsong cursed and quickly darted back, not intending to withstand the onslaught of what was known as "Explosive Dance."

"You can’t run!"

Dong Tianze roared as he wielded Ghost Howling, intertwining a sea of Black Gold blades above his head.

Lin Beiye snorted, also knowing he couldn’t escape his fate, and said in a low voice, "I’ll handle that woman!"

In the instant the Black Gold blade sea and the pitch-black orbs collided and exploded, Lin Beiye had quietly slipped away.

—He had left Pang Jian for Dong Tianze to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Tianze was left alone to face Pang Jian, who had turned into some kind of monster.

His supposed allies, one avoiding battle and the other picking a fight with Luo Hongyan, had left the most difficult Pang Jian for him to deal with.

Dong Tianze was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.

"Two scum of the Second Realm!"

He silently cursed both Qi Qingsong and Lin Beiye through eighteen generations of their ancestors, but he still had to grit his teeth and fight against the now overwhelming Pang Jian.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

In an instant, the Black Gold blade sea he had refined crumbled and shattered into countless fragments of light.

Having advanced to the Marrow Cleansing Realm like him and armed with an astonish Astonishing Spear, Pang Jian took the initiative with a vaster Spiritual Sea and that seemingly endless supply of Filth Alien Power.

As the blade sea broke, Dong Tianze saw Pang Jian open his left hand and aim his palm toward him.

Dong Tianze’s scalp tingled at the sight.

Yuan Lengshan of the Demon Sect had been annihilated under such Sorcery by Pang Jian, with three successive Corrosion Waterfalls, obliterating even her brilliant robes.

Realizing the dire situation, Dong Tianze frantically sought a way out.

"Whoosh!"

A deep green Corrosion Waterfall shot out from Pang Jian’s palm, carrying a thick corroding scent.

Dong Tianze sighed helplessly, took out the Ghost Commanded Token, and tossed it into the air.

The many evil spirits etched on the token flew out to protect it, facing the first Corrosion Waterfall.

The evil spirits holding up the token were instantly contaminated by the Alien Power and disappeared in puffs of smoke.

With a dramatic change in expression, Dong Tianze made a split-second decision to retreat and then frantically chased after Qi Qingsong.

Behind him, the deep green Corrosion Waterfall relentlessly pursued, with many corroding lights splattering everywhere.

"Go to hell!"

Qi Qingsong, who had barely escaped the area, saw Dong Tianze desperately following him with the intent to drag him down and directly swung his sword towards Dong Tianze.

A ghostly white Sword Intent thrust towards him, the piercing sharpness threatened to tear Dong Tianze apart.

"Can you dodge this?!"

Dong Tianze roared at Qi Qingsong, but under this Sword Intent, he was forced to halt.

It was at this moment.

A sharp pain suddenly pierced Dong Tianze’s brow; almost immediately, a dazzling phoenix, branding-like, appeared on his forehead, emitting a light filled with a sacred aura.

The noble and splendid phoenix, as if sensing Dong Tianze’s inevitable doom, released an astonishing oppressive might.

"Heavenly Phoenix Brand! This guy is actually a Divine Guard!"

Li Jie, who had been watching the fight, exclaimed in shock.

After only a moment’s hesitation, he moved as if shifting the stars, instantly appearing in front of Dong Tianze.

"Pang Jian, give me some face, this man’s life must be spared!"

Li Jie threw the nearly empty liuli bottle in his hand towards the waterfall filled with corrosive energy; the bottle suddenly exploded, obliterating the waterfall.

Forced to stop amidst a muffled grunt, Pang Jian held back.

The second and third waterfalls, which were brewing in his palm, did not release due to Li Jie’s intervention. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Pang Jian, who had always borne no ill will towards Li Jie, frowned and waited for Li Jie’s explanation.

He knew Li Jie would not interfere without reason.

"Heavenly Phoenix Guard!"

Qi Qingsong, who had struck with his sword, inwardly cursed his luck.

As a member of the Sword Tower, he had recently heard many legends about the Heavenly Phoenix and had even learned some inside information.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Brand is indeed mysterious; even I failed to see its profound secrets."

Li Jie saved Dong Tianze and, facing Pang Jian’s confusion, sighed, "Before coming to Bagua City, I had just received news that someone had obtained the Heavenly Phoenix inheritance. Pang Jian, that inheritor’s sect has deep relations with my family, so having seen this Divine Guard, I must save his life."

His family had a deep connection with the Pure Land, and it was from there he learned that the inheritor of the Heavenly Phoenix had become one of the Pure Land’s own.

The Pure Land was tight-lipped about the origins of the Heavenly Phoenix inheritor; even Li Jie was clueless.

But he knew that each Heavenly Phoenix Guard would henceforth be the loyal subordinate of that inheritor.

Although in Bagua City within the Fifth Realm, this Heavenly Phoenix Guard could not communicate with the inheritor, now that he was here and knowing Dong Tianze was a Heavenly Phoenix Guard, he had to show respect to the Pure Land.

Dong Tianze, having narrowly escaped death, listened to Li Jie’s words with a dark expression and remained silent.

He knew very well that at this time, it was best to keep silent and say nothing.

Elsewhere.

"Boom!"

Lin Beiye of the Black Valley, his chest suddenly revealing a cluster of bright star nebulas, his eyes filled with terror, was flung high into the air from Luo Hongyan’s location.

By the time Lin Beiye hit the ground, he had already breathed his last.

"Yuan Lengshan might pose a threat to me, but you, a fallen wretch, think I’m an easy target too?"

Luo Hongyan looked down at Lin Beiye’s corpse, a cold sneer on her lips.

Having executed a secret soul skill to briefly imprison Lin Beiye before killing him with one strike, Luo Hongyan now had an additional storage bracelet in her hand,

Apart from Yuan Lengshan, she was also wary of the Ghost Howling in Dong Tianze’s hands; neither Lin Beiye nor Qi Qingsong were actually in her eyes.

"Let’s deal with him later."

Seeing Li Jie intervene and resolutely save Dong Tianze, Pang Jian chose not to continue his attack.

From their brief encounter just now, he felt Li Jie’s inscrutability.

Moreover.

He, Zhou Qingchen, Su Meng, and even Jiang Li, and Han Duping, before leaving, had all obliged someone for most of the bottle of Green Fruit Juice; they owed that person a favor to some extent.

"I’ll kill the Sword Tower member first."

Pang Jian stepped past Li Jie and walked towards Qi Qingsong.

"I’m really unlucky."

Qi Qingsong complained with tears in his eyes.

On that high platform, having been attacked twice by Pang Jian, he only struck back once with his sword intent, wounding Pang Jian.

He and Pang Jian had no grudges and were meeting for the first time in Bagua City, yet Pang Jian was relentless in not sparing him, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.

"Pang Jian, we don’t have a feud, why are you doing this?"

"Besides, when Dong Xiaozi and Lin Beiye made their moves, I didn’t join in, right?"

Qi Qingsong hurriedly said.

"You chopped half of Jiang Li’s arm, and I made a promise to her."

Pang Jian replied, his face cold as ice.

"Just over that?"

"Yes, just over that!"

After the exchange.

Qi Qingsong glanced at Lin Beiye’s corpse, the smiling Luo Hongyan who was looking at him, and the approaching Pang Jian.

"Alright then!"

With a determined grit of his teeth, Qi Qingsong took his own Spirit Sword, and "chop" severed his left arm.

"Give this arm to Zhou Qingchen, to avenge that woman! I chopped half her arm, now I’m giving her back a whole one, surely that’s enough?"

Qi Qingsong, sweating with pain, kicked his severed arm towards Pang Jian.

Pang Jian paused, looking at the arm that had appeared before him, then at the ruthless and decisive Qi Qingsong.

"He’s tough."

Luo Hongyan nodded slightly, an approving gaze in her eyes as she watched Qi Qingsong grimacing in pain, and said, "Such a person should either be made a friend or killed to eliminate future troubles."

"Friends, I will be a good friend to you!"

Qi Qingsong’s scream was accompanied by a sobbing tone.
