Chapter 488: Immortal Palace, Ambush! Danger Abounds! (Part 2)
Chapter 488: Immortal Palace, Ambush! Danger Abounds! (Part 2)
The fight was intense, but Long Ao Jiao showed no signs of retreat. With her Tenth Realm cultivation, she stood toe-to-toe against the mid-stage Thirteenth Realm cultivator from the Immortal Palace.
Unaware of her opponent's true identity, she assumed he was the old ancestor of this small family. In her eyes, it was a battle to the death.
Retreat was not an option; it was time to fight! And the best way was to confront him head-on and ensure his demise.
One move, ten moves, a hundred moves! In a short time, they exchanged hundreds of blows, and finally, in a fierce clash, both retreated, gazing at each other from a distance.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!" Long Ao Jiao laughed. "You're indeed impressive for a Thirteenth Realm cultivator. I approve of you!"
"Come!" She waved the Overlord Spear in her hand, pointing at him. "Show me more, make me even more excited."
"..." He cursed inwardly, feeling manipulated once again.
But despite himself, he was even more astonished.
As the battle progressed, he had gradually gained the upper hand.
However, to his surprise, he realized that Long Ao Jiao wasn't hiding her true cultivation level. From start to finish, the 'Immortal Energy' she displayed remained within the range of the Tenth Realm.
In other words...
Her opponent was fighting him with only a Tenth Realm cultivation, and yet the battle had reached this point.
His expression grew increasingly solemn.
In that moment, he suddenly understood why the higher-ups had sent him and the other Thirteenth Realm 'Pathfinders' to deal with this situation.
These people, despite being at the Tenth Realm, possessed such formidable power that even Twelfth Realm cultivators couldn't defeat them. In fact, if it came to a life-or-death struggle, a Twelfth Realm cultivator would be lucky to escape without being killed.
With this realization, he dared not have the slightest bit of carelessness or underestimation. Even the thought of toying with Long Ao Jiao vanished instantly. All he wanted now was to end this quickly, fearing that the longer it dragged on, the more unexpected twists might occur.
"Die!" he roared.
Boom! His aura surged, and his power erupted.
With the use of secret techniques, his combat prowess increased, reaching fifteen percent, and it continued to grow as time passed.
"Oh?" Long Ao Jiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.
Though she boasted loudly, she wasn't a fool.
After their exchange, she realized that if she were to fight to the death, she might be able to defeat an ordinary Thirteenth Realm cultivator. But against this exceptional mid-stage Thirteenth Realm cultivator, even a life-or-death struggle might not guarantee victory.
And now, as her opponent was determined to fight to the death, things could take a turn for the worse.
However, retreating wasn't an option she was willing to accept.
"Huff!" Long Ao Jiao took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Since it's come to this..."
"You said you have many enemies in the Immortal World, and they are powerful?"
"I want to see just how many enemies you have."
"What can you do to me?"
Boom! She took a sudden step forward, and in an instant, a colossal divine statue, towering at ten thousand feet, appeared out of thin air.
The statue was incredibly lifelike, not at all like a lifeless object, but more like a living deity.
Its movements were perfectly synchronized with Long Ao Jiao's, and they attacked simultaneously.
"Break!" The Overlord Spear slashed downward with fury.
The Overlord Spear's divine shadow followed suit.
The cultivator from the Immortal Palace paled, "A god... Are you a god?"
"No, your identity is clearly..."
"Who are you?!" he roared, defending and counterattacking, his heart filled with fear, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Who am I?" Long Ao Jiao sneered. "I'm your grandmother!"
Of course, she wasn't going to answer him. With a roar, her offensive intensified.
Even if she might not win in a fight to the death, she could at least fight to the point of near-death.
At the very least, before fleeing, she would wound him, tear off a piece of his flesh! Her eyes gleamed with determination, and she unleashed a series of moves, employing various techniques of the Overlord Spear, and within a short time, she fought her opponent to a standstill!
And then, she began to suppress him.
This caused the cultivator from the Immortal Palace to pale repeatedly.
He had considered many possibilities, but never imagined that he would one day be suppressed by a Tenth Realm young girl.
Even if it was just for a moment, it was astonishing, leaving him in disbelief.
But...
This was the reality before his eyes, undeniable.
"Thirteenth Realm? What's so great about that?"
"It's nothing!"
"You're no match for me!"
"Break!" Long Ao Jiao roared.
The Overlord Spear's divine shadow followed suit, and the heavenly tribulation light descended, like the most terrifying tribulation in the world, striking her opponent and causing his body to tremble violently.
Boom! Long Ao Jiao's hidden tower, hidden in her hair for years, reappeared, radiating divine light as it smashed towards her opponent, as if to crush him into meat paste.
Long Ao Jiao also took action, attacking from three directions, unleashing her full power.
"..." The cultivator from the Immortal Palace was infuriated.
Yes, you're a Tenth Realm woman, and your combat prowess is astonishing. It's truly surprising and impressive.
But...
To be able to tangle with me for so long, you’re already extremely ‘badass’. It’s enough to be proud of and brag about for a lifetime, right?
But now, with your appearance, your fighting style, your moves...
What are you trying to do?
Do you still want to kill me here?
Are you kidding me?!
"Shatter!"
He completely erupted, with the intention to go all out.
Even if it meant sustaining severe injuries, he had to completely crush and suppress him, killing him here.
Otherwise...
It wouldn’t just be a matter of being injured; it would also be extremely embarrassing.
Embarrassing!
A Thirteenth Stage cultivator, being injured by a Tenth Stage cultivator, and letting the mission target escape? And in a one-on-one battle? ??
If this news spread, nobody would believe it.
Believe it? They would only see it as a joke.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned bloodshot.
"How can I let you succeed?"
"Immortal Palace Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques!"
He unleashed his ultimate skills. Although it was just one of them, this finger technique was both powerful and astonishing, with countless variations. With a single point, Heaven’s Tribulation Light shattered.
Another point, and the Broken Small Tower emitted a mournful cry, being knocked away.
The third point, he aimed at Long Ao Jiao’s forehead, intending to pierce it!
Hit!
However, Long Ao Jiao’s figure suddenly shattered, turning into a pile of fragments, which were blown towards his face by the wind.
He immediately activated his ‘shield’ to block all the close-range attacks, but at that moment, Long Ao Jiao appeared behind him, striking with a finger!
The ‘shield’ was instantly pierced.
Then, this finger stabbed a bloody hole in his waist, shattering his kidney!
"Aaaah!"
He cried out in pain, quickly turning around to attack Long Ao Jiao.
However, Long Ao Jiao, after landing a hit, had already retreated.
She was now coughing up large amounts of blood, in a very poor condition. She knew that if she continued to fight, she might really be killed. Therefore, she decided to retreat while she still had the chance, using all her means to escape at the fastest speed possible.
"Despicable wench, don’t run!"
The Immortal Palace cultivator was enraged.
Who was he?
A Thirteenth Stage existence of the Immortal Palace!
To be injured by a Tenth Stage woman, how could he still face anyone if this news spread?
Moreover, she was the mission target; how could he let her escape? !
He immediately pursued her relentlessly.
However...
He soon discovered to his shock that his speed was actually half a step slower than Long Ao Jiao’s. For a while, not only could he not catch up, but he had to use all his strength just to keep from losing her.
"Wh-what???"
"..."
He found it hard to believe.
What the...
This script isn’t right, is it? ??
......
"Brother, come, have a drink."
In the tavern.
Xu Feng Lai, holding a fine wine, had a flushed face, clearly already having had several rounds and feeling quite tipsy.
But his mood was still high, pulling Qin Yu and slurring his speech, urging for more.
Qin Yu smiled and responded, raising his cup to drink.
However, he wasn’t as relaxed as Xu Feng Lai, still maintaining his vigilance.
At this Eight Immortals table, there was also another... ‘person’.
Or rather, a ‘Little Black’.
It didn’t drink alcohol, but it ate meat in large bites, its mouth full of oil, looking extremely satisfied.
"The Upper World is actually quite good."
Xu Feng Lai, slurring his speech, said, "Vast and rich, vast and wide, tsk tsk, you can see all sorts of new things everywhere, broadening your horizons."
"Brother, what do you think?"
"It’s quite good." Qin Yu smiled, "The speed of power growth is also fast."
"Continuing this kind of training, we won’t need much longer to take another step forward, to reach a new level."
"Little Black is the same."
Little Black scratched its head with its wings, also showing a human-like smile.
Compared to the Immortal Martial Continent, the Immortal World was indeed much better.
Especially in cultivation, the difference was like day and night.
It was incomparable.
In the Immortal World, their cultivation speed was incredibly fast. Things that were considered treasures in the lower world were mostly just that in the upper world.
Not to say they had no value, but they were far from being treasures.
The same went for other aspects.
Therefore, their strength had improved at an astonishing rate in these days.
Not just in terms of realm, but also in combat power!
Especially Qin Yu.
He held the ‘script’, so his self-created Stellar Change cultivation technique aimed from the beginning to ‘evolve the universe’!
Now, the singularity had already collapsed into a ‘black hole’, but it was unknown when the universe would form.
Qin Yu believed that once the universe formed within his body, his combat power would surge, even if it was just initially formed, without any life or even ‘rules’.
As the universe grew, he would gain many good things.
For example, the Yellow and Black Qi, or the Purple Qi of the Primordial Chaos!
That thing, whether used to refine a magical treasure, fuse into the body for physical cultivation, or used as a secret weapon, had immense benefits.
Moreover, after entering the Immortal World, Qin Yu could clearly feel that the evolution speed of the universe within his body had accelerated.
That day might not be far off.
"Also, Brother, Little Black, have you noticed?"
"The Immortal World is actually more peaceful than our Immortal Martial Continent."
"On our journey here, although we’ve encountered many dangers, at least they were ‘karmic entanglements’, not like the Immortal Martial Continent where you might be killed without any reason."
"Without any reason at all!"
"I, ah, like the Immortal World~"
Xu Feng Lai took another sip of wine, feeling quite content.
Actually...
Xu Feng Lai had some ‘rubbish’ traits.
Although the original work was very popular, there were many who disliked Xu Feng Lai’s character.
It was only after meeting Lin Fan that he was enlightened and improved a lot, so now he didn’t have many flaws.
Seeing him drink a bit too much, Qin Yu smiled and said, "Junior Brother, it’s better to drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
"Hahaha."
"The Master is right."
"It's just that I broke through a minor realm last night, and I'm happy, so I wanted to have a few more drinks."
"Burp~"
He let out a burp.
Then, he began to talk about how incredibly safe the Immortal World was.
"For example, this tavern~"
"Although it's located in the wilderness, it's called Peaceful Tower!"
"It's said that the owner is a Thirteenth Stage expert, but he doesn't seek fame or fortune. He simply runs this tavern to protect travelers."
"Anyone who enters the tavern is under his protection."
"He doesn't care about what happens outside the tavern, but within it, anyone who dares to cause trouble..."
"..."
"Shut up!"
However, the owner slapped him away with a palm strike and then flew out, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is not Peaceful Tower. If you're seeking revenge, please do it elsewhere."
"What are you to lecture me?"
A cold hum came from the sky.
Then, a golden giant handprint descended from the sky, locking the owner and the entire Peaceful Tower within it, intending to destroy everything within that range.
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Do you really want to fight me? We're both at the Thirteenth Stage, why are you being so aggressive?"
The owner's voice was filled with grief, and he desperately resisted, temporarily blocking that strike.
"At the same time, we're both at the Thirteenth Stage, and you dare to compare yourself to me?"
"A miserable fellow who carries Dao injuries, with no hope of further advancement, permanently stuck at the early Thirteenth Stage, and you dare to compare yourself to me?"
"Fight?"
"You and me?"
"You dare!"
Boom! As the word "dare" left his mouth, the attack became ten times more fierce, and the golden giant handprint seemed to solidify.
"Pfft!!!"
The owner coughed up a mouthful of blood and could no longer hold on, falling to the ground.
At the same time, the entire Peaceful Tower collapsed, and the guests and waiters inside were almost instantly turned into blood mist.
"Ah!!!"
The owner roared.
Years of hard work and countless efforts were destroyed in an instant, causing him to burst into anger. He couldn't help but burn his essence blood, determined to fight to the death.
"Fight to the death? You dare!"
However, the opponent's strength far exceeded the owner's imagination.
With just one strike, his dantian was shattered, his spiritual power was scattered, and he was almost stripped of his Dao Fruit!!!
"Pfft!"
The owner coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.
Inside the tavern.
Little Black's nose and mouth bled, and he transformed into his true form, barely withstanding the attack.
However, he was severely injured and in a bad state.
Under his two wings, Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai were unharmed.
At this moment, Qin Yu felt particularly distressed: "Little Black!"
He quickly made Little Black shrink, holding him in his arms.
Xu Feng Lai's drunkenness had already worn off.
At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said, "Brother, be careful."
He raised his sword, and the twelve flying swords given by the Peach Blossom Sword Deity soared into the air.
The Great Yellow Palace Seal on his forehead flashed with golden light, and thirteen sword techniques erupted simultaneously.
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
He roared, brandishing the sword in his hand and using Sword Twenty-Three to temporarily freeze the golden giant handprint for a moment.
At the same time, the twelve flying swords each slashed out with a sword.
"Sword Opening Heaven's Gate!"
Rip!
One sword cut open a slit in the golden giant handprint.
"Mortal Sword! Six Miles!"
Another sword widened the slit.
"Nine Swords to Slay Immortals!"
The flying swords flew out, and nine swords struck simultaneously.
"One Sword, Immortal Kneels!"
All twelve flying swords blasted out, and Xu Feng Lai sprayed blood wildly, holding the Three-Foot Green Blade in both hands and using all his strength to slash out another sword.
"One Sword, Worlds Apart!"
Xu Feng Lai almost fought to the death, finally managing to tear open a 'seam' in the golden giant handprint.
Seeing this, Qin Yu immediately took him out of the attack range of the giant handprint.
Boom!!!
The entire Peaceful Tower, along with two mountain ranges, was blasted into oblivion! A giant hand transformed into an ocean!
"Oh?"
The attacker exclaimed in surprise: "Interesting, two ants, still alive, and one of them is even unharmed?"
"However, what does it matter?"
He smiled and said, "Burning Wood Ten Ultimate Cuts."
Rip!
He used his hand to slash horizontally and then vertically.
Clearly two attacks, but the two 'Blade Auras' connected to form a 'cross' and ignited raging flames!
These were the flames that erupted from the collision and intertwining of the Divine Fire.
The owner lay on the side, barely breathing, but this strike caused him to instantly widen his eyes in disbelief: "One of the Immortal Palace's Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques, the Burning Wood Ten Ultimate Cuts."
"You..."
"You're from the Immortal Palace?!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
However, the opponent only stared at him for a moment: "You dare to obstruct the Immortal Palace's business. You're truly seeking death."
Qin Yu originally wanted to save the owner as well.
But seeing that the opponent had no intention of killing the owner, he put his mind at ease.
However, he soon discovered the problem.
The opponent was from the Immortal Palace, and upon seeing the two of them, he didn't hesitate to attack, which clearly indicated that their target was...
Them!
His expression changed slightly, and he turned to attack: "Piercing Finger!"
