Chapter 387: The Great Melee
Gu Heng found his suggestion very tempting.
However, Qin Fen fell silent.
The reason for his silence was that he saw the Primordial Soul Lamp in Gu Heng's hand, which had left a deep impression on him, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Why did this incredibly dangerous weapon end up in the hands of this old monster?!
Qin Fen followed the various immortal lords at the end of the prehistoric era and naturally experienced the great war of the five realms. During the great war of the five realms, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal, who betrayed the immortal realm and joined the Netherworld Demon, was a being that most cultivators of that era feared!
Back then, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal unleashed a monstrous storm of bloodshed, slaughtering countless elites from the Immortal Realm, the Ancient Realm, and the Xuan Tian Realm, wreaking havoc on the three realms, committing heinous crimes.
The Primordial Soul Lamp in the hands of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal was originally a top-tier treasure of the ancient realm, but in his possession, it has annihilated the bodies and souls of countless powerful beings...
Qin Fen naturally remembered the soul lamp left behind by this great demon.
So when he saw this lamp, he was almost scared out of his wits!
Although the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal completely disappeared at the end of the Five Realms War, it's hard to say whether he's dead or not, not to mention that this lamp is his most powerful weapon.
How did this lamp end up in Gu Heng's hands?
However, there is a small world inside the Primordial Soul Lamp, which is specifically used to nourish the soul or cultivate evil souls, depending on how the holder uses it. If he has this object as a carrier, then Qin Fen knows that he can not only completely break free from the shackles of the Primordial Secret Palace, but also take this opportunity to restore his remnant soul to its full strength! Before, Gu Heng had been brought to the brink of death by Qin Fen with a punch and a sword.
But now, he has taken out this celestial treasure that can repair the soul. This... I have to say, this old monster really knows what it means to give a slap and then a candy!
Faced with the temptation to return to their former glory.
Qin Fen still made the decision to disobey his master's orders.
"how?"
Gu Heng asked with a smile.
"it is good!"
Qin Fen readily agreed.
At this moment, the struggle in the main hall below also broke out.
The first to move were the rogue cultivators. They started fighting from the entrance of the gate and had exhausted a lot of energy to get here. But with a celestial treasure right in front of them, even if they could only snatch one of them, it would be enough for them to rise to prominence. So why would they give up so easily?
Although many people knew they couldn't take these treasures with them even if they got them, they chose a side road early on to see if there were any other treasures to take.
But more than that, they were planning to take a gamble.
"Leave far away!"
"This is mine!"
Before the people from the extraordinary forces could even move, some people in the main hall rushed forward, and the sounds of fighting and screams filled the air. Almost instantly, a bunch of people fell to the ground.
Then another group of independent cultivators began to pour in and fight each other.
Like a pot of boiling water, constantly churning and bubbling, with all sorts of lights flashing and the Dao power rippled in all directions!
"It's time, let's go!"
Meng Yirou decided not to wait any longer. Taking advantage of the chaos, she rushed forward and seized the initiative.
So she and Bai Feier moved immediately, along with several disciples with slightly weaker strength behind them.
Elder Gu didn't move at all, because Qi Yuan had two Zhenyuan Hall generals at the ninth level of the Mahayana stage. If they didn't make a move, Elder Gu couldn't either. This was already considered a relatively fair situation.
Otherwise, the Divine Palace of Healing might really have to leave empty-handed.
"Go, you guys go stop Meng Yirou, I'll deal with that woman with the sword."
Qi Yuan remained unhurried. Although Meng Yirou intended to take the initiative, she was skilled in alchemy but not in combat. His henchmen were enough to give her some strength.
His initial goal was not the Immortal-grade Extreme Life Cauldron on the stone platform.
It was Bai Feier!
He planned to get revenge first, and then eliminate the accomplice who helped Meng Yirou seize the treasure! Once she was gone, Meng Yirou would be no match for so many others, and at that point, dealing with her would be a piece of cake for him.
With a clang, the scimitar was drawn!
Bai Feier and Meng Yirou skillfully avoided the aftershocks of the battle between the rogue cultivators. They had only traveled halfway when the people from the Northern Desert Medicine Sect surrounded them, separating them from each other.
"You go get it, I'll deal with him!"
Bai Feier watched Qi Yuan chase after her with his sword, then stopped. She knew she had to keep Qi Yuan here and stall him, so that Meng Yirou could go and get that celestial treasure.
"Then be extra careful!"
Meng Yirou knew that there was no time to lose, so she gritted her teeth, leaped into the air, and headed towards the stone platform!
However, several prodigies from the Northern Desert Medicine Sect also joined in, determined to increase Meng Yirou's strength! Qi Yuan and Bai Feier raised troops to confront each other.
"At the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, she actually found such trash to help her. She really misjudged people."
Qi Yuan coldly mocked.
Bai Feier's expression was solemn. Now everyone's cultivation was not suppressed. Qi Yuan was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which was much stronger than her. Moreover, Qi Yuan was not only skilled with a knife, but also adept at using Gu poison. The methods of those who use poison are usually hard to defend against!
She even had to be careful not to be suddenly poisoned with some deadly poison during a confrontation.
A major battle between the two sides is now inevitable.
Qi Yuan's mask was slashed off by her in front of everyone, which was a great humiliation.
"Be careful, or it won't just be your mask that gets cut off later."
Bai Feier channeled her Dao power, her sword blade turning cold. Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan sneered, "Heh, I didn't expect that you, a piece of trash Nascent Soul, would be using a Saint-grade weapon. Fine, after I cripple you, I'll take both you and your sword. But your fate... you'll see for yourself!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Yuan raised his sword and charged forward, the blade flashing brightly, and his speed was quite fast!
Bai Feier was not to be outdone, her sword flashing as she met the attack head-on!
Dang Dang Dang——
A fierce confrontation between the two!
Each collision produced sparks that caused the particles to explode.
The surrounding rogue cultivators were all dumbfounded!
These two actually possess such strength! Although they are still young, their power is by no means weak!
To avoid being accidentally injured, the surrounding rogue cultivators even had to retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"You're nothing special."
In just over ten breaths, Bai Feier and Qi Yuan exchanged more than ten blows, evenly matched. Although Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised that Bai Feier had used skillful force and unorthodox techniques to neutralize his advantage in cultivation, he immediately grinned maliciously: "Hehe, this is just the beginning!"
He took a step forward and closed in on Bai Feier again, brandishing his curved blade, the blade flashing with light.
His swordsmanship was unpredictable and ever-changing.
"Try my 'Despondent Blade Technique'!"
Qi Yuan roared fiercely, this strike was clearly his full power, the blade light was like a feathered serpent coiling in the wind, attacking from all directions and sealing off Bai Feier's body!
Upon seeing this move, the onlookers gasped in surprise.
Neither the Central Continent Dynasty nor the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect made a move. They had both issued warnings, and no one dared to snatch the immortal treasures they had reserved. So they could leisurely watch the battle for a little while longer.
As Qi Yuan unleashed that astonishing strike, Xuan Yuansheng clicked his tongue and said, "As expected of the top martial arts of the Northern Desert Zhenyuan Palace, it is as ruthless and cunning as a snake or the wind. That woman probably couldn't even withstand the first move." Qi Yuan's martial arts skills were far more than just this.
But with just his first move, he made Bai Feier look like a caged beast with nowhere to escape, only able to defend herself.
"Hard to say."
But Prajna Swordsman has a different opinion.
"Qi Yuan is hiding his moves, and she is also preparing. In my opinion, Qi Yuan lost his composure and made a ruthless move first, so the outcome is still uncertain."
As a prodigy of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, his words made even Xuan Yuansheng pay more attention to Bai Feier.
"Haha, I'll cut off your arm first, then I'll keep it and play with it slowly!"
Qi Yuan laughed wildly, his laughter concealing his smugness, as if victory was already in his grasp!
This scene, witnessed by Elder Gu, caused him to frown even more deeply, muttering to himself, "How could this be?"
Since Meng Yirou was willing to take her along, it means that this girl is not entirely useless. Surely she can withstand Qi Yuan's first move of swordsmanship?
"Om..."
Just then, Bai Feier, who had seemed to be fighting a desperate battle, suddenly surged with power. With a smile on her lips, she raised her sword and unleashed a burst of icy killing intent!
A horizontal slash of sword light.
Qi Yuan's blade was silently annihilated!
His move, which he thought would cripple the woman's arm, only caused a few pieces of her clothing to fly around.
"what?!"
Qi Yuan was greatly alarmed.
This is... sword intent?!
This Nascent Soul stage nobody has actually comprehended sword intent?!
"Hmph, stop spacing out."
"Give me a chance, and you'll be embarrassed!" Bai Feier didn't waste the opportunity, raising her hand to unleash a horizontal slash with her sword, the icy sword energy directly attacking Qi Yuan!
"you……"
Qi Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted. By this time, it was obviously too late to react. He hastily raised his curved sword to block, but he could not stop the swift sword strike at all.
puff--
Fresh blood spurted out.
Qi Yuan's left shoulder was slashed open, revealing the white bone. The injury wasn't too serious, after all, his physical body was quite strong, but even so, he still changed color and roared, "You bastard!"
This time, Qi Yuan was truly enraged.
The first time she knocked off my mask, it was probably just luck or chance.
This second time, he actually took a sword to the shoulder because he underestimated his opponent!
Qi Yuan felt a burning rage of humiliation rising in his heart, consuming all his reason!
"It's actually sword intent?!"
Even Xuanyuan Sheng and the Prajna Swordsman were stunned by this situation, seemingly unable to believe that she could break Qi Yuan's move.
Sword intent!
If anyone was more shocked than Qi Yuan, it would be Xuan Yuansheng, because the most powerful genius of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect was standing right next to him, and the Prajna Swordsman had only just comprehended sword intent a few months ago.
That alone made Prajna Swordsman a once-in-a-lifetime genius in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect!
But now.
A girl of unknown origin, only at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, displayed sword intent!
Not to mention others, Elder Baili was even more astonished.
He knew how difficult it was to comprehend sword intent. Even a disciple with exceptional talent like Prajna Swordsman would have to spend years of hard work just to touch the threshold.
But this girl...
He looks no more than nineteen years old, and such terrifying talent is simply unheard of and unseen.
"Who exactly is this girl?" Elder Baili's eyes gleamed. "Our Myriad Swords Immortal Sect has failed to recruit such a genius as its disciple; what a waste!"
"No wonder even someone as unruly and discerning as the Holy Maiden of the Divine Healer Palace is willing to let her act with them."
Xuanyuan Sheng said thoughtfully, "However, even if she comprehends the sword intent, Qi Yuan is still stronger than her, and probably not enough for her to win, unless she comprehends the sword momentum."
Elder Baili shook his head and said, "Impossible. To comprehend sword intent at the age of 10 is already a prodigy. If she can also comprehend sword momentum, then the position of sect leader of my Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect should be hers."
Although Bai Feier's display of sword intent was surprising and showed her talent, ultimately not many people were optimistic about her chances of winning.
Because Qi Yuan definitely has more and more ruthless moves to make next, not to mention that he also has the advantage of cultivation level and more profound Dao power.
"It seems that this woman is someone our Myriad Swords Immortal Sect must protect."
Elder Baili has already made a decision.
Even if Bai Feier loses to Qi Yuan in the end, she must not let Qi Yuan kill her.
Elder Baili would be heartbroken if he simply stood by and watched her get killed, such a prodigy in swordsmanship.
"...It seems it's not that simple."
Although the Prajna Swordsman was shocked, he still kept an eye on things.
Because he felt that although Bai Feier used sword intent, there was still a certain feeling about her.
This doesn't seem to be her last resort...
