I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 94 - 93: Fierce Battle
Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Fierce Battle
Outside the courtyard house.
Jiang Feiying and Elder Qingyun arrived at the gate. They looked up at it, and Elder Qingyun said in a calm tone, “Our target is inside this courtyard.”
BZZT! BZZT!
A Blood-colored Light Wheel, composed of countless crimson runes, once again materialized behind Elder Qingyun’s head. This wheel was the Nine Yin Secret Text itself.
The Nine Yin Secret Text was now flashing with a blinding light. It had sensed the location of the final Magic Spell, and the proximity was causing this intense reaction.
“Go knock on the door!”
Jiang Feiying ordered.
“Alright!”
Elder Qingyun nodded.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Elder Qingyun knocked.
Inside the courtyard.
Xu Qing heard the knocking.
CRACK!
But after just two knocks, the courtyard gate cracked apart, shattering into pieces that scattered across the ground.
“My apologies.”
Elder Qingyun smiled. “I didn’t control my strength properly.”
SWOOSH!
Jiang Feiying took a step forward.
Her figure vanished, reappearing inside Xu Qing’s courtyard. She had moved a step ahead of Elder Qingyun, charging in to kill.
“Xu Qing!”
BOOM!
Jiang Feiying looked up, her gaze falling upon Xu Qing, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard. Although he wore the Evil Ghost Mask to alter his appearance and aura,
Jiang Feiying cultivated the Thousand Forms Divine Skill. The mask’s disguise was useless against her, and she saw through to Xu Qing’s true identity at a glance.
“Miss Jiang the Elder!”
Xu Qing saw Jiang Feiying, and he also saw that his courtyard gate had been destroyed by a scruffy old Daoist. “You really managed to find me.”
“Die!”
Jiang Feiying’s beautiful face was cold. A terrifying Demon Dao aura surged around her, and illusory masks rushed out from her body.
CRACK!
Jiang Feiying thrust out her palm.
POW!
The illusory masks gathered in her palm, coalescing into a massive gray Palm Seal that shot straight toward Xu Qing.
“Baji Fist! Boom!”
CRACK!
BOOM!
Xu Qing let out a sharp cry. His expression remained unchanged as he mobilized the Gang Qi within him. The acupoints throughout his body trembled, drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy.
He threw a punch, his Fist Force devastatingly powerful. It carried an unstoppable momentum, unleashing the mighty power of the Immortal stage.
CRACK!
BOOM!
With a tremendous roar, Xu Qing’s fist shattered Jiang Feiying’s Palm Seal.
“What?!”
Jiang Feiying froze, her beautiful eyes widening. Her face was a mask of disbelief, pure shock, and utter astonishment. It seemed impossible.
“You… you…”
Jiang Feiying stared blankly at Xu Qing and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Immortal! You’ve actually reached the Immortal stage!!!”
’Immortal?’
Elder Qingyun was also stunned, his gaze shifting to Xu Qing. He had investigated Xu Qing before. According to his intelligence,
it hadn’t even been a year since Xu Qing had first come into contact with martial arts and begun his training.
And yet,
in that short span of less than a year,
Xu Qing had gone from a beggar to a top-tier expert who had reached the Immortal stage. At this level, he could do as he pleased in any county-level city.
It could be said that
whether in Qingbei Town or Qingfeng Town,
an Immortal was the absolute peak of experts.
“That’s right.”
Xu Qing’s expression was calm as he replied coolly, “Miss Jiang the Elder, I have indeed reached the Immortal stage, the final level of the Martial Path First Realm.”
“In fact, I have you to thank for this, Miss Jiang the Elder. If you hadn’t put so much pressure on me, I wouldn’t have trained so hard, forgoing food and sleep. I never would have been able to reach the Immortal stage in such a short time.”
“You’ve only just reached the Initial Entry stage of Immortal.”
Jiang Feiying had already calmed down from her shock. “At most, you’ve only mastered a third of the subtle acupoints in your body.”
“I, on the other hand, have long been at the peak of the Demon Path First Realm and have even taken half a step into the Second Realm of Demon Path. Even if you’ve reached the Immortal stage, you’re still no match for me.”
“Xu Qing.”
“Hand over the mask now, and I can grant you an intact corpse.”
“Kill!”
The moment her voice fell,
Jiang Feiying attacked again. The mighty power of her Demon Technique was formidable as her hands formed a Demon Path Seal, and the illusory masks around her began to rapidly solidify.
“Thousand Forms Divine Skill! Thousand-Faced Seal!”
Jiang Feiying unleashed a killing move. Countless faces condensed and gathered between her hands, forming an exceptionally powerful Dharma Seal.
BOOM!
The Dharma Seal shot through the air, expanding rapidly until, in the blink of an eye, it resembled a colossal black mountain descending from the sky to crush Xu Qing.
“Sword of Death!”
CLANG!
With the ring of a sword,
Xu Qing cried out. He had already drawn his Level 10 Wandering Dragon Sword and Level 10 Iron Sword. Wielding a sword in each hand, he executed his Dual Sword Style.
He unleashed the fourteenth sword of the Life-taking Thirteen Swords—the Sword of Death.
BANG!
CRACK!
A brilliant Sword Aura, imbued with the intent of death, shot out from his twin swords, shattering Jiang Feiying’s Thousand-Faced Seal. The black, mountain-like Dharma Seal exploded into fragments.
BOOM!
At the same time,
Xu Qing was sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion.
’Found it.’
Meanwhile,
while Jiang Feiying and Xu Qing were fighting, Elder Qingyun had activated the Nine Yin Secret Text. The Blood-colored Light Wheel behind his head erupted with crimson light.
Soon,
Elder Qingyun discovered that Yu Hu was in a side room nearby.
“Hahaha…”
Elder Qingyun laughed, his expression wild with excitement. “I’ve found it! I’ve finally found it! I, this old Daoist, have finally found the last Magic Spell!”
“Come to this old Daoist!”
BZZT!
Without hesitation,
Elder Qingyun shouted and reached out toward Yu Hu in the side room. Heaven and Earth Energy gathered, forming a massive hand of energy.
“Hm?”
Xu Qing noticed the commotion.
“Xu Qing, you should be more worried about yourself,”
Jiang Feiying snorted coldly. With a wave of her right hand, she produced a long, black Soft Sword. The blade slithered in her grasp like a black viper.
“Die! Thousand Forms Swordsmanship!”
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!
It had to be said,
the Thousand Forms Divine Skill was truly worthy of being a Demon Technique that could be cultivated to the Second Realm of Demon Path. It was all-encompassing, even containing a powerful form of Swordsmanship.
CLANG CLANG CLANG!!!
In an instant,
countless Sword Lights clashed and instantly detonated, setting off a chain of explosions. The sound of their shattering echoed in all directions.
BANG!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Suddenly,
two figures shot through the air at incredible speed. They were the Tier One Daoist Soldiers that Xu Qing had refined and upgraded—Cold Ice and Blazing Flame, attacking in unison.
Cold Ice was faster, striking first with a palm thrust that generated a terrifyingly cold aura as it unleashed the Mighty Power of its Cold Ice Dao Pattern.
BOOM!
Elder Qingyun’s massive hand of energy was shattered by Cold Ice.
“Huh?!”
Elder Qingyun’s eyes flew open. He looked bewildered, unable to believe what he was seeing, and stared blankly at the sudden appearance of Cold Ice and Blazing Flame.
“Daoist Soldiers?! Tier One Daoist Soldiers!!!”
Elder Qingyun’s tone was laced with shock. He looked at Xu Qing, unable to stop himself from demanding, “You… Who in the world are you? How do you have Daoist Soldiers?!”
It was a well-known fact that
Daoist Soldiers, also known as Dharma Guardian Generals, could only be mastered and used by Daoists who cultivated the orthodox Dao Path.
Generally speaking,
due to the unique nature of the Dao Path, Daoists in the First Realm had very limited self-defense capabilities and few powerful offensive techniques.
Therefore,
Dharma Guardian Generals had become standard for orthodox Daoists of the First Realm. Every orthodox Daoist would be accompanied by one or two Tier One Daoist Soldiers, whose role was to protect the Dao and guard their master.
As such,
Daoist Soldiers were also called Dharma Guardian Generals.
As for why Elder Qingyun knew all this, it was because he had obtained an incomplete volume of Taoist Pathway Skills. Because it was incomplete, his desire to cultivate and enter the Dao Path slowly led him down a twisted road.
In other words,
Elder Qingyun was not an orthodox Daoist of the Dao Path at all, but a true Evil Cultivator of the Dao Path.
’Daoist Soldiers?’
Jiang Feiying was also startled, her expression changing slightly.
In truth,
this Jiang Feiying was not Jiang Feiying at all. Her true identity was the Thousand-Faced Witch, a traitor from the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect. Years ago, she had killed the real Jiang Feiying, taken her identity, and used the transformation and disguise arts of the Thousand Forms Divine Skill to become her.
From beginning to end,
no one in the Jiang Family had ever noticed any flaw in the Thousand-Faced Witch’s disguise.
Wu Tongtian knew only because he was the Garrison Envoy of Qingbei Town and possessed a special means of identification, which allowed him to discover that Jiang Feiying was actually the Thousand-Faced Witch in disguise.
Therefore,
given her identity as the Thousand-Faced Witch, she naturally knew what Daoist Soldiers were.
“Who are you, really?”
Consequently,
the Thousand-Faced Witch’s attacks slowed.
It was a known fact that
the Dao Path was reclusive. Many powerful Taoist Sects preferred to live in seclusion and cultivate the Dao. But when the world fell into turmoil, these reclusive sects would send young Daoists down from the mountains. The purpose of these Daoists was simple: to enter the world for their Cultivation, pacify the chaotic times, and earn Merit.
And for a Daoist, Merit was an incredibly precious thing.
“Xu Qing.”
Xu Qing smiled, his expression calm. He had already sensed that Jiang Feiying and the scruffy old Daoist had misunderstood something. “Miss Jiang the Elder, didn’t you see through me already? Why ask again?”
“It doesn’t matter who you are,”
Jiang Feiying calmed herself and shouted, “No one can stand in my way. No one can stop me from entering the Second Realm of Demon Path. You will die today!”
“Haaah…”
Elder Qingyun took a deep breath, his expression turning grim. ’I thought this would be a simple mission, but I never expected this kind of trouble.’
’It seems I can no longer stand by and watch.’
