Chapter 496 - Twelve Shadows Final Kill

Yang Qing and others also immediately pulled out their long swords. The two sides were in a very tense situation. Yang Qing said coldly, “It’s true that the Wastelands has its own rules, but the Beast King was seriously injured by us first. You came here to take advantage of it. Aren’t you ashamed?”

The man in purple sneered and said, “Are you kidding me? Without you, you think we can’t beat the Beast King?”

A man next to Yang Qing sneered and said, “Do you think you can take down the Flame-Winged Beast King on your own? You would probably flee when you see a Giant Bear Beast, isn’t it?”

Yang Qing and others were now in conflict with the purple-clothed man and others. The white-clothed man stopped Chu Qi and said lightly, “Rules are rules. Please hand over Monster Pill. I don’t like to fight with women, especially a beautiful woman like you.”

“Get out of the way.” Chu Qi held Internal Elixir in her hand, and her tone was flat throughout as if she was talking to a passer-by who was blocking her way.

The eyes of the man in white suddenly turned cold. He had never met such a woman before. It seemed that she had never acknowledged him from the beginning to the end, and she did not listen to what he said at all. She did not even look at him at all, which made him very unhappy. “Whether it’s in the sect or in the whole city of Yan Prefecture, which woman does not want to talk to me? Or just that does she not know who I am?”

At the moment, the man in white hid his anger and smiling, said, “My surname is Liu, and my only name is Qing. I’m from the Pure Mind Sect, and my master is Zi Xuan…”

“Get out of my way.” The tone of Chu Qi was still flat, without any emotion, neither happy, angry nor shocked.

Liu Qing’s eyes turned cold. This time around, he was really a little angry. In a cold voice, he said, “If young miss insists on snatching the Beast King Pill, then I will have no choice but to snatch it. However, if I injure young miss later…” Before he could finish his words, a cold glint suddenly flashed. A full moon curved blade was already placed on his neck.

“You can’t hurt me by yourself.”

Her calm words made everyone present feel a chill running down their spine. Chu Qi came in front of Liu Qing in the blink of an eye. Her movements were a little too fast.

Liu Qing looked at the cold blade in front of his throat, and his back was immediately covered with a layer of cold sweat. If she wanted to kill him just now, he would be injured even if he did not die. He was too careless. Thinking of this, he instinctively jumped back and made a gesture with his finger. A golden Sword Qi rushed to attack Chu Qi.

“Clang!” With a loud noise, sparks flew out. Chu Qi used the Full Moon Blade to resist the attack of the Sword Qi. However, her body could not help but step back a few meters, and her arm was also shocked numb.

At the end of the day, Liu Qing’s cultivation was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. No matter how fast she was, her strength was far inferior to Liu Qing’s. Moreover, she had already consumed a lot of True Energy after the battle with the Flame-winged Beast King.

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

Another two rows of sharp Sword Qi flew from the top and the bottom. Chu Qi made a backward somersault, and a streak of Sword Qi slashed across her back, cutting off a strand of her hair. A streak of Sword Qi slashed between her legs. With two loud bangs, the two towering trees behind her were directly cut off from the middle.

Falling back to the ground, Chu Qi waved her arm, and the Full Moon Blade suddenly split into two. They turned into two cold radiances and slashed at Liu Qing from both left and right. At the same time, she also attacked Liu Qing like lightning.

Liu Qing was shocked and flew back seventy or eighty feet. He knew in his heart that he must not fight her at close quarters, otherwise, he would die. He quickly chanted a spell, “Boom!” With a few loud noises, several dazzling lightning bolts fell from the sky and instantly blew up the grass and trees nearby into ashes.

Chu Qi’s movements were extremely fast. She dodged the lightning bolts and attempted to assassinate Liu Qing. Her cold gaze was like a death signal from the night sky. Liu Qing was so shocked that his entire body was covered in a cold sweat. He hurriedly flew into the sky and chanted a spell. Another wave of ice blades attacked.

Ice blades were swirling all over the sky, and every strike was deadly. In the distance, the disciples of the Pure Mind Sect were all amazed. Liu Qing was the best in terms of magic spells, so he could use them in an instant. No one could defeat him in the competition of magic spells.

In fact, what everyone did not know was that Liu Qing was being forced to do so. He did not dare to let Chu Qi be near him. To deal with a person whose cultivation was a few levels lower than his, he still needed to fight with a long-range magic spell. It was really a joke to be told to others.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Qi dodged the ice blades that filled the sky and charged at Liu Qing. “Clang!” With a loud bang, Liu Qing blocked her blade attacks. He leaped backward and made a quick spell gesture. With a loud boom, the earth trembled. A wall of earth more than a hundred feet high charged up and barely managed to hold off Chu Qi for a moment.

When he landed on the ground, Liu Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had not expected this woman to be so fast. He immediately chanted a spell, and dozens of rays of golden Sword Qi appeared out of thin air. They all charged at her at the same time.

The wild wind howled and the grass and trees flew. Chu Qi dodged to the left and right like a ghost and avoided the heavy attacks of the Sword Qi. In a flash, she had already come to the front of Liu Qing. With a wave, the blade came at Liu Qing’s head with a cold radiance.

Liu Qing was shocked and quickly leaned back. With a bang, the cap on his head was cut into pieces, and his hair was immediately scattered. He looked quite like a drowned mouse.

This made him shocked and angry. He turned his hand and slammed at Chu Qi. This palm was extremely fierce, causing the nearby grass and trees to fly everywhere. It was obvious that he had also made a deadly move. However, Chu Qi moved away at this moment, as if she had disappeared. The next moment, she had already appeared behind Liu Qing and kicked him to seventy to eighty feet away.

More than a dozen people of the Pure Mind Sect in the distance were all shocked. Senior Brother Liu had the highest cultivation in the sect, so how could he be attacked so easily from behind? At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Qi. She took the Full Moon Blade that flew back and was about to attack Liu Qing. The man in purple exclaimed, “Senior Brother Liu, be careful!”

Liu Qing landed on the ground. His hair was scattered all over his shoulders and his eyes were bloodshot. He had never been in such a sorry state before. He had never been kicked away in front of so many Junior Brothers and Sisters. Furthermore, her cultivation was so much lower than his!

In a flash, Chu Qi came up again, but this time, Liu Qing did not dodge. His eyes were red, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of faint golden light in an instant. Xiao Chen was shocked and shouted, “Chu Qi, be careful!”

However, Chu Qi had already come to the front of Liu Qing. All of a sudden, the True Energy in Liu Qing’s entire body shook. A monstrous force instantly erupted from him, directly shattering the stone and wood within the 100 feet radius.

Chu Qi was also sent flying by this sudden and ferocious force. In terms of strength alone, she was ultimately inferior to Liu Qing, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Argh!” Liu Qing’s long hair fluttered in the air. With a deep roar, he raised his palm. Suddenly, a gigantic golden handprint appeared in midair and slammed down on Chu Qi. This time, he had truly used the power of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. The wind howled all around him, and even the distant crowd could feel the terrifying power.

“Chu Qi, watch out!”

Xiao Chen was worried that the continuous consumption of energy for Chu Qi would be too much, and would not be able to resist the violent Liu Qing. He was about to take action, but the moment he moved, he suddenly felt a great pressure. This pressure came from the top of a mountain in the distance, which made him faintly unable to breathe.

It was a strength that was at least at the peak of the Apotheosis Realm!

Xiao Chen’s heart sank. He had been spied on by this person using mystic arts earlier. He did not doubt that the latter would attack him the moment he made a move. A cultivator at the peak of Apotheosis Realm who did not rely on pills could almost instantly kill him. Even Guifeng would not have a complete chance of victory.

“Boom! Boom!” The sound was like thunder, and the whole forest trembled. Liu Qing slammed one palm after another, and the nearby woods were destroyed in an instant, and countless handprints that were several feet deep appeared on the ground.

Chu Qi was calm and avoided these deadly attacks again and again, but it was not easy for her to get close to Liu Qing. Suddenly, she stretched out her body and shouted, “Twelve Shadow—Final Kill!”

The Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon focused on assassinations. It was rare that before an attack, they would use their shouts to run their True Energy. As her shouts came to an end, she suddenly split into twelve and instantly transformed into twelve shadows that charged at Liu Qing from all directions.

Everyone was shocked. They had only seen twelve shadows, but what Liu Qing had seen were twelve figures with different appearances. They were very real people, and each of them had the same attack power.

It was the Ultimate Skill of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon. To perform this, the other eleven people must be absent. Even if one of them was present, one could not use it. The other eleven people who were transformed by this technique had almost the same attack power as the original one. That was to say, this attack was comparable to the joint attack of the twelve people of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon.

The wind howled and rocks flew in all directions. The twelve figures arrived in a flash, causing Liu Qing’s expression to change drastically. When he was about to dodge, he realized that all directions had been sealed off. There was no breakthrough point.

“Swoosh!” With a sharp sound, a bloody wound appeared on Liu Qing’s arm. Immediately, fresh blood sprayed out, followed by his chest and back. In an instant, his entire body had already been cut open by over ten bloody wounds. Immediately, his body was covered in fresh blood.

The expressions of the remaining ten or so people in the distance changed drastically. “Senior Brother Liu!”

However, without waiting for Liu Qing’s counterattack, the twelve figures suddenly merged into one again and slashed towards his neck. This strike was extremely ferocious. It was obviously a deadly blow, and Liu Qing was certain to die!

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a strong aura approaching. He shouted, “Be careful, Chu Qi!” Before he finished his words, he had already moved to the back of Chu Qi.

“Poom!” A loud noise shook heaven and earth, and everything within the 100 feet radius was turned into powder. Chu Qi and Liu Qing were also pushed away by a powerful force at this moment. The crowd was shocked. It was Xiao Chen and a gray-robed old man who had suddenly teleported had their palms against each other.

The remaining force spread out, but it still made people suffocate. In the distance, more than a dozen disciples of Pure Mind Sect exclaimed in unison, “Elder Xu!”

This was the competition between Pure Mind Sect and the Heaven Heart Pavilion, but with the protection of an Elder of each sect, so that the disciples would not be attacked by high-tier Demonic Beast. Generally speaking, Elders would not easily show up until the last moment.

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s long hair was fluttering, and he was still in the palm-to-palm position with the old man in the gray robe. He did not even take a step back. It was not until then that those dozen disciples of the Pure Mind Sect in the distance realized that he could fight with Elder Xu without being hurt at all. “Could this unassuming young man have even higher cultivation than the girl? Has he already reached the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm?”

All of them gasped in disbelief. It was beyond their wildest imagination that a man of the same age as them had reached the middle stage of Nirvana Realm!
