Chapter 458 - 468: Illusion Dao, the Disturbing Heart Law

"Be careful! That’s the Life-Trapping Curse, an Emperor-grade High-level martial art!" Qiu Xuan couldn’t help but shout from a distance.

"Heretical tricks. Watch me shatter this!"

Wen Qingye sneered as he coated his entire arm with Primordial Qi. A domineering energy, infused with Dragon’s Might, instantly surged forth. Then, with both hands, he violently tore at the air in front of him.

RIIIP!

The countless streams of black energy were torn asunder by Wen Qingye’s bare hands, surging wildly to the sides.

"Heavens, he tore apart the Life-Trapping Curse with his bare hands!"

"Such a powerful body!"

The surrounding crowd was shaken to the core, the astonishment in their eyes impossible to contain.

"You’re pretty good, masked man. I’ll play with you again next time."

With a single leap, the woman in black was already dozens of feet away. In the blink of an eye, she vanished from everyone’s sight.

"Hmph!"

Wen Qingye snorted coldly and kicked off the ground. A dark wind swirled at his feet. He moved so fast that not even an afterimage was left behind. The next moment, he too had vanished from sight.

"So fast..." Qiu Xuan muttered, slowly coming to his senses after watching the woman in black and Wen Qingye disappear one after the other.

The people from Feiyun Dock were still dazed. Everything had happened too quickly, too unexpectedly. Their minds were still reeling from the moment Wen Qingye had killed the Fifth Heaven of Destruction Realm expert with a single punch and then torn the Life-Trapping Curse apart.

...

The woman in black bounded from roof to roof, her figure a blur. As she sped across the houses, tiles and debris rained down onto the street below.

"You’re chasing me so relentlessly, masked man. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me, hahaha!" the woman called out with a laugh, the wind whistling past her as she spoke to Wen Qingye behind her.

Wen Qingye watched the woman ahead, a slight frown on his face. Her cultivation was at the Peak of the Sixth Heaven of Destruction Realm, but she had practiced a Body Technique Martial Arts that gave her incredible speed.

’I just wonder if she’s deliberately luring me out,’ Wen Qingye thought. That was precisely what worried him.

The woman in black was feeling quite pleased with herself. Her speed had always been her trump card, the key to her victories. Forget a cultivator at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm like Wen Qingye; even a Martial Artist at the Seventh Heaven of Destruction Realm would be helpless against her.

’Still, this masked man is ridiculously strong,’ she thought. ’He’s clearly at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm, yet I can’t seem to do anything to him. He’s a real anomaly.’

Suddenly, before she could finish her thought, she heard the roar of a fierce wind behind her. Her heart instantly tightened.

Without a second thought, she frantically mobilized her body’s Primordial Qi, sending it surging into her Qi Sea. Boundless Primordial Qi then swept out from her body, transforming into innumerable fine black threads.

The countless black threads gathered behind her, instantly forming a black barrier. It was composed entirely of the condensed threads and was as smooth and clear as a polished mirror.

"Formless Spell!"

Sunlight struck the barrier, reflecting a blinding glare. The solid shield felt immensely heavy and thick.

The next moment, the aura of an Emperor descended from the sky, majestic and domineering. It was followed by an endless, brilliant golden light.

"Third Form of the Sword Emperor Technique! A Name to Shake the World!"

The One Thought Sword, its blade as thin as a cicada’s wing, slashed down from the sky. A domineering and majestic hum emanated violently from the sword.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The woman in black’s face fell, and she stumbled backward. A moment later, she felt a heavy blow strike her Primordial Spirit, and her face turned deathly pale.

’This masked man... he actually knows how to attack the Primordial Spirit?’ The woman stared at Wen Qingye, unable to hide the sheer astonishment in her eyes.

Wen Qingye looked at the woman and smiled. "Your Yihai Country’s Royal Family attacked Feiyun Dock. What exactly is this map you want? I’m quite curious."

"Curiosity killed the cat," the woman’s eyes grew cold, but a moment later, she smiled. "But... if you take off that mask and let me see your face, I’ll tell you."

Wen Qingye raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You’re that interested in what I look like?"

The woman wore a curious expression. "Are you just so ugly that you have to cover your face? Let me see just how ugly you are, and I’ll tell you. How about it?"

Wen Qingye remained expressionless. "You’re at my mercy," he said coolly. "I have countless ways to make you talk. Believe me."

"What kind of ways?" the woman in black purred, giving Wen Qingye a seductive look.

"You’ll find out."

The hem of Wen Qingye’s robes stirred as if in a phantom wind. He thrust his sword forward, its edge pulsing with a peerless, biting Sword Aura that sent a bone-chilling cold through the air.

"You’re no fun at all," the woman in black muttered, then snorted. "With your paltry cultivation at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm, you really think you can defeat me?"

The woman in black swiped her palm, sending a powerful wave of Primordial Qi surging toward Wen Qingye’s Sword Aura.

HISS!

The Sword Aura mercilessly sliced through the woman’s Primordial Qi. Though its momentum was mostly spent, its residual power remained.

"How is that possible?"

The woman’s mind raced. Suppressing her shock, she rapidly dodged to the side.

BOOM!

The Sword Aura crashed into a river behind her, kicking up a huge wave. For a moment, crystal-clear water sprayed everywhere, splashing onto the bank.

A violent shockwave rolled out, attracting the attention of many onlookers who stared with astonishment.

"Now I’m really angry."

The woman’s eyes turned icy, and the corner of her lip curled up. Her figure shot forward abruptly. Clenching her fists, she threw a punch. A torrent of black light, like a bolt of silk, swept out. It was interwoven with thousands of sharp, peerless threads and carried a startling fluctuation as it shot toward Wen Qingye with the speed of lightning.

"Life Destruction Spell!"

The thousands of threads were incredibly sharp, flying side-by-side and carrying a terrifying aura.

The onlookers felt their hearts constrict, their breathing growing ragged.

’The Disturbing Heart Law of the Illusion Dao?’

Wen Qingye immediately understood what he was seeing. He didn’t know if the woman in black actually cultivated the Illusion Dao, but these threads clearly possessed the characteristics of its Disturbing Heart Law.

However, the Disturbing Heart Law was completely useless against Wen Qingye.

The oncoming black light was reflected in Wen Qingye’s dark eyes. He tightened his grip on his sword. The next instant, he thrust it forward violently. A hundred-foot-long golden rainbow, incredibly sharp, shot out from the blade.

"Fourth Form of the Sword Emperor Technique! Those Who Oppose Me Shall Die!"

An Emperor’s might filled the air, and his aura surged without limit. Wen Qingye’s gaze was that of one looking down upon the world.

The two beams of light slammed into each other. A low thrum echoed from the collision of Primordial Qi. Amid a dazzling flash of gold and black, both attacks were annihilated.
