After Qin Hexing finished speaking, Yin Jue's expression changed once again. The ropes surrounding Christopher Yard and Jian Mang suddenly grew larger, almost doubling in size in an instant. On the surface of the ropes, spikes protruded, emitting a chilling light from their tips. Faintly, a buzzing sound could be heard. Christopher Yard had a foreboding feeling about the change in the ropes. In the next moment, these spiked ropes swiftly surrounded his body, causing his pupils to contract. The spikes were all black and emitted a foul odor. Christopher Yard immediately realized that these spikes were poisonous, and highly toxic at that. Once they came into contact with the human body, they would quickly invade the bone marrow. He didn't know if his low-grade defensive immortal garment could withstand the poisonous spikes. "Damn it!" Seeing that so many lightning bolts couldn't stop the ropes from advancing, Christopher Yard felt bewildered. He could only pray that Bing Ning would arrive quickly; otherwise, he would be killed immediately.Beside him, Jian Mang also exclaimed in shock. How did these ropes suddenly change? He tried to cut the ropes with his dagger but found that he couldn't sever them. While Jian Mang was astonished, he felt extremely frustrated. It seemed that if no one came to rescue them soon, he would have to resort to other means. However, he was reluctant to do so. Just as the ropes were about to pierce Christopher Yard and Jian Mang's bodies, Qin Hexing, who was standing nearby, revealed a faint smile on his face. The command had been restricted by some kind of technique. Christopher Yard didn't seem to possess any other techniques, and the person holding the dagger couldn't cut the ropes either. As long as a few more seconds passed, these two would be doomed. Thinking of this, Qin Hexing's hand seals became even faster. If he could deal with Christopher Yard, he would become a great contributor to the Hei Yun Gang. Those Heavenly-level guardians would no longer have the qualifications to compete with him. He would soon become the most powerful Heavenly-level guardian. Besides the gang leader, no one would dare to touch him. With this in mind, Qin Hexing's face showed a trace of excitement. Die, both of you, just die for me. As the ropes were about to completely subdue Christopher Yard and Jane Mang, a faint voice suddenly came from the side: "You're a bit too arrogant." The icy jade hand moved slightly, and a beam of light immediately emanated from it. Then, the light spread rapidly like ripples on a lake, with her at the center, quickly dispersing towards the surroundings. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" As the beams of light touched the nearby spiked ropes, the ropes instantly burst open at an extremely fast speed, causing the air to tremble slightly. "How could you break free from my binding spell?" The calm expression on Qin Hexing's face had long disappeared, replaced by a look of shock. He never expected that this spirit could achieve such a feat. "What right do you have to know about me?" Raising her beautiful eyes, Bing Ning glanced lightly at Qin Hexing in the distance. Then, she clenched her jade hand, and all the ropes beside her, as if they had agreed, exploded in an instant. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" After the ropes broke and the explosions subsided, Qin Hexing, due to his spell being destroyed by Bing Ning, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't even say a word. His spell was specifically designed for spirits, and this woman was clearly a spirit. According to reason, no spirit should be able to break his spell. How could this happen? Qin Hexing's face changed, and then he seemed to have realized something. A lightning bolt flashed through his mind, and an extremely shocked voice came out of his mouth: "You... could it be that you have stepped halfway into the realm of immortals..." "Poof!" Before Qin Hexing could finish speaking, Bing Ning coldly glanced at him, then clenched her jade hand. It felt as if Qin Hexing's heart had been struck by a huge impact, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Now that you know, don't even think about leaving."Bing Ning's face was extremely cold, and the beam of light in her jade hand instantly transformed into a sharp sword. It quickly aimed towards Qin Hexing's chest, and the sound of the sword whistling was incessant. If Qin Hexing's chest was pierced by this sword, his life would be lost in an instant. As Qin Hexing was about to be killed, a faint voice came from behind him: "This little girl is a bit arrogant, daring to even touch my disciple." Along with the voice, there was a vortex resembling a black hole, and from within it, a dark hand slowly extended. As soon as it emerged, even the gleam of Ice's sword slightly weakened. This dark hand immediately grabbed Qin Hexing and tried to drag him into the vortex. "Hmph! Even if you want to leave, I won't let you go so easily." Ice snorted coldly, and the mythical energy infused in her jade hand increased. In an instant, the gleam of the sword became extremely dazzling, and a muffled groan came from inside the vortex. At the moment Qin Hexing was being dragged into the vortex, the sword pierced his chest, causing him to cough up another mouthful of blood. The vitality on his face quickly disappeared. "You ruthless little girl, I, Qin Huo, will remember this grudge." In the instant after he spoke, the dark hand and Qin Hexing disappeared along with the vortex. The place instantly returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened. The members of the Black Cloud Gang and Jian Mang were all stunned, witnessing everything that had just happened. It felt like a dream, making them somewhat incredulous. But the bloodstains on the ground made them realize that everything before their eyes was real. At this moment, Jian Mang seemed to have realized something and asked in astonishment: "Damn, don't tell me you have a spirit of the underworld with you?" Christopher Yard nodded, causing a hint of envy to appear on Jian Mang's face. He immediately raised his thumb and said, "You actually have such an underworld spirit, impressive."
