I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 97 - 96: Slaying Qingyun
Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Slaying Qingyun
The Thousand Forms Divine Skill is one of the fundamental skills of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect. It is so difficult that almost no one within the sect can master it. Anyone who succeeds is named a True Disciple.
However.
The Thousand-Faced Witch was never qualified to cultivate the Thousand Forms Divine Skill. Instead, she practiced a Charm Technique, seduced a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, and learned the skill from him.
Not only that.
The Thousand-Faced Witch then drained that True Disciple completely dry.
And so.
The Thousand-Faced Witch had not only broken the sect’s rules by learning a skill she was forbidden from, but had also murdered a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect.
Naturally.
The Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect could not let her off easy. They branded the Thousand-Faced Witch a traitor to the Demon Sect and issued a kill order: anyone, whether from the righteous path or the Demon Dao, who killed the Thousand-Faced Witch would be allowed to immerse themselves in the sect’s Ten Thousand Forms Demon Pool for a full day and night.
After all.
While the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Pool was an artifact of the Demon Dao, it was also one of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect’s supreme treasures. Anyone who immersed themselves in it would undergo a complete metamorphosis, improving not just their natural aptitude but their cultivation as well.
This just went to show how powerful the Thousand Forms Divine Skill was. It was, after all, one of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect’s fundamental skills. Cultivated to its peak, it allowed one to manifest a thousand forms, making them nearly impossible to kill.
And yet.
When facing Xu Qing, it had been completely countered by a Dharma Artifact. Her Thousand Illusion Realm, which should have put her in an invincible position, had been rendered useless.
“COUGH COUGH…”
Elder Qingyun was coughing up blood.
By this point in the fight.
Elder Qingyun had never been skilled in close-quarters combat, and many of his Evil Techniques were useless against the Daoist Soldiers. To make matters worse, he was facing two of them at once.
As a result.
Elder Qingyun had gradually been pushed into a disadvantageous position. Just a moment ago, he had been struck by the Ice Daoist Soldier. A terrifyingly cold energy invaded his body, and his face slowly turned deathly pale.
Meanwhile.
Though the Vajra Daoist Soldier was no match for Zhu Ganglie, Zhu Ganglie couldn’t manage to completely defeat Xu Qing’s Daoist Soldier in a short amount of time.
Thus.
The Blood Demon Hand from the Blood Demon Sect wasn’t able to provide much help.
Most importantly.
The fight had dragged on for so long that the Immortal experts of Qingfeng Town would be arriving any moment. When they did, the tables would turn, and the attackers would find themselves surrounded.
“Huuuh…”
Jiang Feiying took a deep breath, her gaze icy and filled with utter resentment. She stared deeply at Xu Qing. “Xu Qing!”
“Your master, Du Cangying, and your Second Senior Sister, Du Luan, are both in my hands. If you don’t want them to die, you have until tomorrow evening to return to Qingbei Town!”
“Jiang Feiying!”
Xu Qing looked up, his gaze frigid, brimming with profound anger and killing intent.
“Elder Qingyun, retreat now!”
Jiang Feiying shouted.
“What?”
Elder Qingyun looked up and glanced at Jiang Feiying. “Retreat? But…”
You see.
The reason Elder Qingyun had teamed up with Jiang Feiying was to find Yu Hu. He needed to refine Yu Hu into the final Nine Yin Secret Text to complete his Nine Yin Secret Technique.
With it.
Elder Qingyun would be able to break through into the Second Realm.
“If you don’t leave now, are you planning to die here?”
Jiang Feiying snapped again.
“I…”
Elder Qingyun felt the fluctuations from the Nine Yin Secret Text and glanced in Yu Hu’s direction, then back at Xu Qing. He could also sense four other experts, all at the Immortal level, hurrying toward them.
There was no doubt.
These four Immortal-level masters were the top experts of Qingfeng Town. The commotion from their battle was too great, and they were already on their way.
“Go!”
SWISH! SWISH!
Without further hesitation.
Elder Qingyun took a deep breath. He used an Escape Technique and, along with Jiang Feiying, rapidly retreated from Qingfeng Town. The fight could not continue.
“Trying to escape?”
Xu Qing’s gaze turned frigid. He had long suspected that after he left Qingbei Town, Jiang Feiying wouldn’t spare the Cangying Martial Arts Hall, nor would she let Du Cangying go.
However.
Hearing Jiang Feiying say it to his face—and even use Du Cangying and Du Luan to threaten him—had thoroughly enraged him.
Hearing the threat with his own ears made Xu Qing’s fury and killing intent surge uncontrollably.
“Today, both of you will die here!”
Xu Qing roared.
“Dapeng Root Method!”
HUMMM!
With a sharp cry, Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. His Gang Qi surged as he stimulated a third of the minor acupoints in his body. “Dapeng Escape Technique!”
SWISH!
The instant he spoke.
Xu Qing executed a technique from the Dapeng Root Method, one that could only be performed after reaching the Immortal level.
It used a special method, channeling the power of Gang Jin to stimulate the body’s various minor acupoints and unleash its latent potential.
In doing so.
Xu Qing’s speed would surge dramatically, as if he had transformed into an Exotic Beast Dapeng taking flight. His speed erupted to its absolute limit.
SWISH!
Xu Qing seemed to become the Dapeng itself. His figure became a streak of brilliant cyan-gold light, crossing hundreds of meters in an incredibly short time.
Moreover.
He left a trail of afterimages in his wake.
“Die!”
BOOM!
With a roar, Xu Qing appeared before Elder Qingyun. He channeled all his power—the Dapeng Root Method, the Dragon Elephant Force, the Dragon Elephant Fundamental Skill, and the Baji Heaven-Striking Fist.
In that moment.
The Mystical Techniques of the four fist arts and Fundamental Skills flowed through his mind. In a flash of inspiration, he fused them all.
Thus.
All of that power coalesced into a single, terrifyingly destructive punch.
“Ultimate Killing Fist!”
BOOM!
As Xu Qing’s fist descended, it created a terrifying explosion, a sonic boom that carried the weight of a collapsing mountain and the might of a falling sky.
It blasted toward Elder Qingyun.
“NO!!!”
Elder Qingyun’s face was a mask of terror. He had never imagined Xu Qing could suddenly erupt with such horrifying power. Not only had his speed exploded, but he had actually caught up to him.
Up ahead.
Jiang Feiying only ran faster, showing no intention of looking back.
Meanwhile.
The four Immortal experts from Qingfeng Town had arrived.
“Get lost!”
BOOM!
Blood Demon Hand Zhu Ganglie roared. His hands transformed into massive Blood Demon claws, and with sheer, ferocious power, he blasted the Vajra Daoist Soldier away.
“Go.”
SWISH!
Zhu Ganglie didn’t hesitate. After throwing off the Vajra Daoist Soldier, he immediately bolted for the city outskirts. If he didn’t flee now, the experts of Qingfeng Town would surround him.
“AHHH!!!”
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
Facing Xu Qing’s Ultimate Killing Fist, Elder Qingyun pulled out one Dharma Artifact after another. Talismans ignited in succession, forming layer upon layer of defense.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
SPURT!
Blood splattered.
Xu Qing’s Ultimate Killing Fist was simply too powerful. It fused all the power he currently possessed, forming the strongest single punch he could deliver.
As a result.
All of Elder Qingyun’s Dharma Artifacts and defenses were utterly crushed by Xu Qing’s blow, shattering to pieces. The punch itself pierced straight through Elder Qingyun’s chest.
Blood scattered.
A gaping hole appeared in Elder Qingyun’s chest, punched clean through by Xu Qing. His face was ashen as he coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
“No! No! NO!!!”
Elder Qingyun’s eyes flew wide. He frantically activated some kind of Secret Technique, desperately trying to heal his wounds. New flesh began to granulate and grow rapidly around the injury.
Clearly.
Elder Qingyun was not dead. Though his chest had been pierced, his heart and head were intact. He still had a chance to survive.
Furthermore.
A Blood-colored Light Wheel formed from the Nine Yin Secret Text materialized behind Elder Qingyun’s head, releasing energy to mend his wounds.
CLANG!
The next moment.
Xu Qing pointed with his left hand. The Level 10 Copper Coin Sword tore through the air. Under his control, it acted like a Flying Sword, transforming into a brilliant streak of Sword Light.
SPURT!
Blood splattered.
The Level 10 Copper Coin Sword pierced through Elder Qingyun’s head, entering his forehead and bursting out from the back of his skull.
“You… you…”
Elder Qingyun’s eyes bulged, staring blankly at Xu Qing. He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but no words came out.
Because.
That last strike had completely extinguished all of Elder Qingyun’s life.
VMM! VMM!
The light around Elder Qingyun’s body dimmed, and the life faded from his eyes. However, the Blood-colored Light Wheel behind his head did not vanish.
SWISH!
The next moment.
As if sensing something, the Blood-colored Light Wheel detached from Elder Qingyun’s body and shot through the air as a streak of blood-red light.
The speed was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye.
The Blood-colored Light Wheel, formed from the Nine Yin Secret Text, had flown a great distance and locked onto the unconscious Yu Hu.
SWISH!
Without a moment’s hesitation.
The Blood-colored Light Wheel became a streak of red light and drilled into Yu Hu’s body. Wang Tuoba and the others watched this happen, their faces filled with astonishment.
“Senior Brother!”
Dian Anhua cried out in alarm.
“Hm?”
Xu Qing saw it too and frowned. He didn’t know what was happening, but he was certain it was related to the Magic Spell inside Yu Hu.
“Jiang Feiying!”
Xu Qing dragged his gaze away and looked toward Jiang Feiying. She was paying no mind to Elder Qingyun’s fate, focused entirely on fleeing Qingfeng Town.
“Retract!”
With a gesture of his right hand, Xu Qing recalled his three Tier One Daoist Soldiers. They transformed into three streams of light, reverting to their Daoist Soldier Puppet forms and flying swiftly into his palm.
“Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will not let you return to Qingbei Town alive!”
SWISH!
With a sharp cry, Xu Qing activated the Dapeng Escape Technique again, pushing himself to his absolute top speed. He locked onto Jiang Feiying’s aura and pursued her.
Soon.
Xu Qing’s pursuit of Jiang Feiying had taken them out of Qingfeng Town and into the wilderness beyond. Jiang Feiying was well aware that Xu Qing was on her heels.
Moreover.
She also knew that Xu Qing had killed Elder Qingyun.
