Witnessing that, Ning Qi's face turned even grimmer. But he didn't say anything but slowly moved forward to the center of the stage. The disciples there initially wanted to obstruct him from passing through them. But the old man in the center of the stage extended his hand to stop them.
All of them abruptly stopped before making way for Ning Qi to enter the stage. Just after he had entered the stage, Ning Qi didn't move forward anymore, as he detected that this spot exactly covered everyone here to employ his aura on them.
He looked at the woman, who was still desperately trying to signal him! He benignly smiled at her, as though telling her that it was alright, which instantly confused Liu Yifei. But the smile that Ning Qi offered gave a sense of comfort that she is incapable of fathoming. But her heart rate, which had been rising by a huge margin with all that struggle, started slowing down.
"I hope this friend came here with a purpose, or have you come here by chance? I'm the sect master of the Red Blood sect, that you may have heard of my sect." The old man ultimately opened his eyes and probed, as he wanted to perceive exactly why Ning Qi was over here.
If he is here with a purpose, he wants to discern what that purpose is before deciding on how to respond. But if he is here by mistake, then he decided to make a move right after this guy announced such words. It's always excellent to take the initiative and sneak attack when the opponent is caught off guard.
On the other hand, Ning Qi found everyone within his range. He examined the words of that 'kind' looking old man, and a sharp tremor ran through his spine as he already guessed what those three were about to do.
Not wanting to provide them a chance, Ning Qi swiftly released his aura, which swiftly covered all the people there. Everyone instantly felt the suffocating feeling creep onto them, and their legs started shivering, some of the feebler disciples instantly collapsed on the ground.
Even the two foundation establishment realm cultivators beside the old man turned completely stiff, unable to even voice their words, wanting to hurriedly warn their sect master with the word 'Soul Transformation'.
But in the succeeding moment, they saw their sect master, whom they have followed for more than 60 years, collapse onto the ground with his face down. But they detect a huge hole around the size of a baby fist on the back of his head, as though it were made by some kind of spear that pierced his head from the front side of his face.
They both gritted their teeth and looked at the location of Ning Qi, wanting to see what happened. But they were immediately bewildered by the gun in Ning Qi's hand, which also looks like a pistol. They never thought foundation establishment realm experts could die under a gun. If the world were to recognize this, they would laugh at his sect master for being such a useless foundation establishment realm cultivator.
But they couldn't understand why a soul transformation realm cultivator uses a gun to kill them. They soon concluded that this guy in front of them was probably humiliating them and their sect.
Ning Qi saw the chaos striking all of them once he released his aura. The red blood sect master didn't perceive what happened, as he didn't feel any aura like theirs, and he slightly got distracted. Ning Qi seized that chance and swiftly pulled out his gun before shooting him using his time ability. The bullet instantly shifted from his muzzle to two to three centimeters from that guy's head.
Even though the old man perceived grave danger, he was incapable of reacting to it at all. The bullet, which contained almost 15 percent spiritual energy, caused a gaping hole in his head. The bullet didn't stop there, as it directly flew away to a tree that was more than 200 meters away, exploding it.
"Don't talk too much nonsense! I don't like having a chat with a scum like you." Ning Qi said, brandishing the gun in the action position. He thought that this pose was a pretty good one, and it would have been reasonably pleasant if someone could take a picture for him.
But soon, he lowered his before tucking it off on his pants again. He then looked at all the people, who were still enduring his aura. One by one, they started falling down, as though they were fainting goats.
Ning Qi patiently waited, not withdrawing his aura. He wanted to torture them so that they could decipher what all those people that they tortured would have undergone.
He found out that, whenever his aura is released, these guys' breathing will start to weaken, and over time they won't be able to breathe at all, as though something were pushing all the air into their lungs.
He had already observed it two days ago when he released it on that young master from the Yan sect, and confirmed it when he released it today on Shi Hao and Chen Feiyu. But Ning Qi doesn't know whether they are going to faint or die after exposing themselves to it for a particular time.
If they faint, they won't be able to feel any pressure, right? Ning Qi thought about it but ultimately decided to confirm it with the system.
"Ding! Those that suffer under the host's aura won't be able to faint." Ning Qi's darling system swiftly confirmed Ning Qi's thoughts, which promptly brought a smile to his face.
Slowly, everyone on the ground started twitching over time, and at around two and a half minutes, one of the weakest disciples stopped twitching for a moment, before his lungs exploded with a 'pop' sound through his upper body, ultimately killing him. But the scene is kind of gory, and even Ning Qi, who is the one who is employing this, felt his stomach churn.
He swiftly closed his eyes, not wanting to see any of that shit anymore. But there is one more who saw that raw scene, whose face, instead of showing any disgust, looked delighted.
Li Feiyu, who has been observing the entire situation unfolding in front of her, felt that nigh-impossible things can also be possible if mighty people will it. And Ning Qi befell such a person, who single-handedly slaughtered every one of these murderous devils that tortured their group.
She already understood Ning Qi was the same as these guys... someone with 'abnormal' powers. But the exception is that this fellow, who looks to be around her age or a bit younger than her, is actually way too powerful for all of them combined, and he also looks to be on the side of justice.
Even though she knows she has touched a world, billions of people in the world may never have thought of its existence. She would have been thrilled, marveled at, and experienced so much joy if it had been in the past. But now all she felt was sadness for her dear friend's death, which accompanied her because of her request.
Her hatred towards these devils is as high as Mount Everest, and as such, she is exceptionally happy to see them dying gorily, from the looks of it. They are also experiencing much torture before they die, which made her respect for and debt towards Ning Qi grow at an immense level.
Ning Qi, who had closed his eyes, soon started hearing 'pop' sounds, once every two or three seconds. But after 10 or so such sounds, he heard a laugh, which doesn't sound like a laugh.
It is Liu Yifei, who is laughing with relief for getting revenge and the justice that is prevailing on them. But her eyes are brimming with tears, which have choked her a bit, making him hear neither a laugh nor a sob.
Ning Qi immediately understood from whom it was, he couldn't help but sigh and think of her initial situation, which looked lifeless. She may have experienced heavy trauma and too many pent-up feelings while she was here. He even thought she may have gone through so many 'other' things, as she is a very beautiful girl. But he instantly received a reminder from the system, which confused him as to why the system was reminding him of such a silly thing, out of nowhere.
"Ding! Liu Yifei is still a virgin, Host. Red Blood Sect disciples are all unable to perform any kind of sexual activity, as that is one of the critical flaws in the cultivation technique." System explained.
Not bothering with the system's abrupt reminder anymore, Ning Qi simply felt happy for her, as she was untortured in that regard. But he didn't get why she had such hatred toward them. After thinking for a moment and not reaching any proper conclusions, Ning Qi simply tossed that thought back out of his head.
At around ten minutes, Ning Qi gradually opened his eyes when he heard the final popping sounds from the two middle-aged foundation establishment realm experts, who had experienced so much more torture than all the other disciples.
Ning Qi noted it down, as the more powerful a cultivator is, the more torture they will bear from his aura. Naturally, it's only up to three levels higher than his realm, and those that have an even higher realm won't even feel a single thing, just like those mortals.
Seeing all of them dead, Ning Qi finally walked towards the woman, deciding to escort her out of the forest at least.
"Thank you so much for... " Seeing Ning Qi finally coming towards her, Liu Feiyu couldn't help but kneel down to express her gratitude. She never knelt in front of anyone in her entire life, but she felt that this man in front of her is more than worthy. She unexpectedly considers the thought of devoting herself to him absurd, but she feels that her standards may be too low for such a supreme being.
Just as she lowered herself to bend, Ning Qi's eyes almost popped out as he caught a glimpse of something he shouldn't have seen. He felt a rush of blood in his brain, but it all went down the next moment as he saw the woman collapse on the ground.
Liu Feiyu, who has been physically and mentally tortured, couldn't even complete her sentence before collapsing on the ground and fainting.
Ning Qi quickly rushed to her before lifting her in a princess carry. He felt the smooth and supple skin that he is experiencing on his hands, which disturbed his mind a bit. But he shook his head to get rid of all such thoughts and moved at his maximum speed in the same direction that he had come from.
