Two updates today.
*************
For reasons he couldn't explain, the moment these three appeared, Qiu Xu was struck by an inexplicable sense of dread—as if a wave of death were rushing toward him, leaving him chilled to the bone.
Without standing next to Xiuli, he didn't feel an ounce of safety.
"You're the one who said a Transcendent can't fight someone in the Saint Realm?"
"Yes. And might I ask who you are?" Qiu Xu furrowed his brow.
"Why would I bother telling my name to a dead man?"
"You've got quite the nerve! Who exactly are you?" Qiu Xu's expression turned sharp and cold. He could tell the newcomers meant trouble and quietly signaled Xiuli with his eyes, telling her to be ready to act. Xiuli gave a slight nod.
She made no effort to stop
Two pairs of beautiful eyes fixed on Xiuli, and invisible pressure descended from the sky.
The voluptuous beauty named Xiuli felt her limbs go rigid in an instant. The power within her body refused to flow, as though she had sunk into a quagmire, completely mired.
Her heart flooded with terror. Only now did she grasp the terrifying strength of these two women who had appeared out of thin air, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Qiu Xu's face also changed the moment
He had to find
Though he resented the share
He had barely moved when a figure flickered into view before him. That young man who seemed utterly ignorant of his own limitations had already cut off his path.
Transcendent Stage Three!
Qiu Xu instantly saw through
At the same time, he thrust his hand toward
A searing wave of heat exploded outward. Qiu Xu let out a strangled cry and hastily yanked his hand back, his expression shifting drastically, unable to believe what had just happened.
The young man across from him—who was merely at Transcendent Stage Three—exuded power that was somehow more refined and far more vast than his own as a Saint Realm cultivator.
That scorching True Yuan had plunged through the meridians of his palm deep into his body, rampaging through flesh and meridians alike, infiltrating his internal organs. It was trying to destroy his life force.
Daring not waste a single moment, Qiu Xu hastily channeled his own Saint Yuan to suppress the searing heat. His body temperature spiked dramatically, and the blood throughout his body began to simmer, turning his eyes bloodshot.
Before he could recover, a gleaming golden spear tore through the air toward him. It radiated earth-shaking energy fluctuations, as though capable of rending space itself, transcending the limits of distance. It swelled rapidly in his field of vision.
Terrified beyond measure, Qiu Xu sensed the lethal force contained within the spear and desperately dodged.
Whoosh...
The Heaven-Slaying Spear sailed past him, streaking away for dozens of miles before gradually dissolving into motes of light and vanishing.
One Heaven-Slaying Spear after another formed in
Like a swarm of locusts sweeping across the land, golden light filled the entire sky.
Qiu Xu was in a wretched state—battered by the Nine Heavens Divine Techniques, he could only dodge with no ability to counter. His face had gone deathly pale.
"Keep running! Keep dodging! Let's see how long you can last!"
Qiu Xu had no breath to spare for a reply. Simply dodging these attacks consumed every ounce of his concentration, and his face looked utterly wretched.
"Aren't you a Saint? Then fight me properly—why are you afraid of a Transcendent? Come! Show me everything you've got! Today, I'll teach you firsthand how a Transcendent slays a Saint!"
Below,
Years ago, they had received
But a few months ago, a group of enemies they couldn't possibly match had suddenly appeared, seizing control of all Eight Great Families of Zhongdu.
And today, they had been chased to the ends of the earth by this one-eyed man named Qiu Xu—nowhere to run, nowhere to hide—watching helplessly as Tang Yuxian was about to be crushed to death in his grip.
