Chapter 1070

Qin Qi was bewildered.

Understandably, all the cultivators he encountered along the way could never breach this gap in absolute cultivation prowess, no matter how high their own destiny was!

Yet, the Earth Demon seemed to ignore these rules...

"No, that’s not right..."

Qin Qi silently mused, "It’s the Spirit Evil Woman’s mana that fails to pose a threat to this Earth Demon. So that’s the case!"

He gradually understood the situation.

The Spirit Evil Woman was an evil cultivator; the so-called evil cultivators practice Yin energy that is sinister and evil, whereas the Evil Demons are the origin of this Yin energy.

Therefore, even though the Spirit Evil Woman’s cultivation is higher, it’s challenging to inflict substantial damage on the Earth Demon since they share the same sinister energy.

Having confirmed this, Qin Qi had an answer in his heart, "That gave me a scare. If this Earth Demon truly could hold its ground against a Sixth Layer Core Formation Stage expert, then I wouldn’t be able to defeat it no matter what. But if the opponent is just as I speculated, then this Earth Demon isn’t unbeatable!"

Seeing the Earth Demon and the Spirit Evil Woman locked in an endless struggle, Qin Qi hid darkly, waiting for his chance to act.

"I’ll use this Pure Yang Sword Box to test the Earth Demon’s strength!" Qin Qi thought quietly.

Using the hidden effects of the Long River Bottle, Qin Qi sought the right moment.

As his mind was focused on the struggle with the Spirit Evil Woman, Qin Qi waved his hand, and several Pure Yang Flying Swords instantly left the Sword Box, racing toward the Earth Demon.

The speed of these Pure Yang Flying Swords was so quick that they reached the Earth Demon’s back in an instant.

"Spirit Evil Woman!" Qin Qi shouted sternly.

Spirit Evil Woman naturally understood, quickly deploying numerous techniques to entangle the Earth Demon.

The Earth Demon, ensnared by the Spirit Evil Woman, could only withstand the Pure Yang Flying Swords from Qin Qi with its flesh.

A sword struck, as if hitting steel, with sparks flying but unable to break through its defense.

Soon followed the second, the third.

As the fourth flying sword swept in, the Earth Demon abruptly broke free from the Spirit Evil Woman’s techniques, retreating in haste.

Seeing this, the Spirit Evil Woman quickly pursued, not giving the opponent a moment to escape.

"Master, try to escape from this domain first; I will entangle this demon."

The Spirit Evil Woman took a breath, "The Earth Demon’s power is too formidable; your methods likely cannot break through its defense!"

Listening to the Spirit Evil Woman’s transmission, Qin Qi did not rush to leave, but stood silently, pondering.

"Even with three consecutive Pure Yang Flying Swords, I couldn’t break the Earth Demon’s defense..." Qin Qi thought to himself, "But if I truly can’t breach this demon’s defense, why did the Earth Demon hurry to escape just now?"

He suddenly had a suspicion.

With bold thoughts brewing in his mind, Qin Qi decided to try again!

"If I can succeed, I have a chance to slay this Earth Demon..."

If others knew of this notion, they’d be shocked, thinking Qin Qi was insane.

After all, since the human cultivators and Evil Demons war started, the times the Earth Demon fell are few and far between.

And for it to fall into the hands of a mere Fake Core Stage cultivator, there hasn’t been a single time!

Soon, Qin Qi chased after the direction of the Spirit Evil Woman.

With the Spirit Evil Woman’s position, finding her meant locating the Earth Demon she was facing.

Sure enough, upon arrival!

The Earth Demon was still locked in an intense struggle with the Spirit Evil Woman.

"Human woman..."

The Earth Demon suddenly spoke in human language, "The cultivation techniques you practice are remnants from our Outer Realm Race. Why do you help him? Why not pledge loyalty to our Outer Realm Race? Let our Outer Realm Race grant you the supreme cultivation techniques!"

"I see your cultivation hasn’t fully recovered yet; with the supreme techniques we grant, you could not only restore your full power but also ascend to greater heights with our help!"

"Don’t worry, I know you’ve been put under restriction by him, but our Outer Realm Race can certainly help you break that restriction!"

Chasing all the way here, Qin Qi was jolted in his heart.

Damn it, what does this Earth Demon mean? Is it trying to sway my people!

But the Spirit Evil Woman’s response was remarkably resolute, she smirked defiantly, "I advise you to let go of this hope. Sway me? Hmph, indeed I am an evil cultivator, but I understand clearly the difference between me and your race!"

"Not to mention my loyalty to my master, even if I didn’t have this master today, I absolutely would not submit to your Demon Race!"

"Submitting to a foreign race, haha, the Spirit Evil Woman isn’t foolish to such an extent!"

As she spoke, the Spirit Evil Woman once again manipulated her mana, bombarding the Earth Demon furiously.

The Earth Demon roared angrily, "Human, don’t think because your cultivation is profound that I cannot deal with you. In the end, your methods cannot harm me. But how long do you think you can withstand my methods?"

"Ultimately, you’re just a soul body; under the assault of evil qi, even if you have profound cultivation, how long can this soul shell endure?"

The Spirit Evil Woman’s brows knitted lightly, unable to refute the Earth Demon’s words.

This evil qi naturally has the ability to invade human minds, and for someone like her without a physical shell, the attack is even more deadly.

Yet, as Qin Qi’s servant, it’s her duty to protect him and ensure his safe escape!

Just hoping, now, that Qin Qi has already departed, leaving this evil qi domain behind.

However, as this thought fell, she suddenly sensed something.

"Master? Why haven’t you left yet," the Spirit Evil Woman’s pupils contracted as she whispered, transmitting toward Qin Qi.

Qin Qi smiled, "I’m not accustomed to leaving my woman behind and fleeing alone!"

Hearing Qin Qi call her his woman, the Spirit Evil Woman’s cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness.

But being someone who reached the Nascent Soul Stage at her peak, she quickly regained composure, "Master, with your means, you cannot harm it. Continuing to entangle with it, only we will both fall here!"

"You heard it just now, my methods cannot handle this Earth Demon, and without a physical shell, I cannot endure long under this evil qi’s assault!"

Qin Qi slowly spoke, "So what? Leave you alone, and save myself? Haha, you’re the woman I painstakingly subdued; I will not let you perish in vain!"

The Spirit Evil Woman couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.

Fundamentally, she protected Qin Qi because of the cultivation technique restrictions placed within her by Qin Qi!

Yet Qin Qi seemingly doesn’t have a reason to risk himself for someone who comes at his beck and call.

Qin Qi spoke again, "But rest assured, I have some certainty in annihilating this Earth Demon!"

"Master, you have confidence in annihilating this Earth Demon?" the Spirit Evil Woman’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
