Chapter 958 - 948: Merits
"Kill!"
On the battlefield, cries of slaughter filled the air, limbs and corpses were strewn everywhere, evil Qi filled the skies, and those of weak will who lingered too long were likely to be influenced by this malevolent force!
Even Void Refinement and Combined Body Cultivators dared not stay too long on the battlefield because evil Qi continuously eroded both body and mind.
Thus, if they remained for too long, they would have to retreat from the battlefield, otherwise, their mana would circulate poorly, and their mental state would become clouded, significantly reducing their strength.
That is, if they could make it out alive!
Because Demon Cultivators didn’t care about being affected by evil Qi—after all, many of their Divine Powers and Secret Techniques could utilize evil Qi to enhance their might—so they had grown accustomed to its presence.
Facing such a significant disadvantage for Cultivators, Demon Cultivators would wait for the opportunity when Cultivators were retreating to launch ferocious assaults. Even if they couldn’t leave several Cultivators behind, they would delay their departure, preventing them from timely clearing the evil Qi and ultimately being influenced by it.
In this way, it became easier for Demon Cultivators to harvest the lives of Cultivators.
Of course, Cultivators also had countermeasures, such as feigning a retreat but actually withholding a lethal move for the Demon Cultivators to blunder into, or preparing Spiritual Objects in advance to neutralize the evil Qi.
Over the years, Spiritual Objects that dissolve evil Qi had become quite common and affordable.
