Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Take You Out First
"Don’t even think about it!"
"If you want to get our captain, you’ll have to get through us first!"
Xiao Feng, Xia He, and the other two stood up, blocking Qingwa’s path.
The rest of the Great Xia Dragon Guards also didn’t hesitate, placing themselves between Qingwa and Chu Qingyun. They struggled to muster the small amount of Primordial Power they had just recovered, preparing to fight to the death.
If it hadn’t been for Chu Qingyun, they would have all died at the hands of the Martial Soul Hall. Now, seeing him sitting cross-legged behind them, seemingly in the middle of cultivating, they naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
"Fine. If you’re looking for death, then die!"
Time was limited, so Qingwa didn’t dare waste a moment. He activated his Primordial Power and threw a punch at Xiao Feng, who was at the very front.
A punch from a Level Four Martial Spirit was immensely powerful.
Even at his peak, Xiao Feng might not have been able to take this punch, let alone in his current state of depleted Primordial Power.
However, the other thirty-some men attacked at the same time, each one mustering what little Primordial Power they had left to meet Qingwa’s fist.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Amidst a dense series of explosions, over thirty consecutive blasts of Primordial Power all slammed into Qingwa’s fist.
However, each blast was incredibly weak. Even with all thirty-some of the remaining Great Xia Dragon Guards giving it their all, they couldn’t stop Qingwa’s punch in the slightest!
"Hahahaha! Is this the best the Great Xia Dragon Guard can do? Pathetic! Now die!"
A murderous glint flashed in Qingwa’s eyes as his fist suddenly accelerated. More Primordial Power surged forth, enveloping his entire fist in a dazzling glow.
’It’s over...’
Xiao Feng’s heart sank, and he closed his eyes.
But just then, he felt a gust of wind rush past him. After waiting for a moment, the expected punch still hadn’t landed on his head, so he opened his eyes.
Before him stood a familiar figure—it was Chu Qingyun.
At the critical moment, Chu Qingyun had finally completed his breakthrough to Level Three Martial Spirit.
Although he had been focused on compressing and refining his Primordial Power, he had heard everything happening around him loud and clear.
So, the instant his breakthrough was complete, he snatched the Strange Sword beside him, moved through the crowd like the wind, and blocked Xiao Feng.
Facing Qingwa’s punch, Chu Qingyun unleashed his Profound Celestial Divine Pattern and thrust his sword forward, pressing it against Qingwa’s fist.
The Strange Sword was powerful enough to break the Thundercloud Sword.
Although there was no Sword Qi in this thrust, it instantly dispersed the Primordial Power on Qingwa’s fist and even pierced his skin, causing a trickle of Martial Soul Power to leak out.
"You brat! You dare injure me? You’re courting death!"
"Poisonous Frog Binding!"
Qingwa roared, his heart filled with rage.
As an Earth Spirit Realm expert—albeit at the weakest level, a Level Four Martial Spirit—Qingwa had always looked down on those in the Small Spirit Realm.
And now, he had been injured by someone from the Small Spirit Realm. It was simply unforgivable!
Unleashing the Soul Technique, a long, tongue-like object shot out from in front of Qingwa, darting straight for Chu Qingyun.
Not only could this Soul Technique bind enemies, but its mucus was also highly toxic. The slightest contact with skin would poison a person.
"Thunder Light Sword Qi!"
"Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine!"
Chu Qingyun shouted, unleashing his Tier Four Martial Soul and Thunder Light Sword Qi simultaneously. A Level Four Martial Spirit was only one level higher than him, but he was an Earth Spirit Realm expert, after all. Chu Qingyun didn’t dare be careless.
PFFT!
The Thunder Light Sword Qi struck Qingwa’s Soul Technique, but Chu Qingyun felt a distinct resistance, as if he were cutting through rubber. He had to forcefully slash downward to sever the Poisonous Frog Binding.
While severing Qingwa’s Soul Technique, Chu Qingyun also controlled the ten vines, sending them to entangle and attack Qingwa from all directions.
"Get off me!"
Primordial Power erupted from Qingwa’s body. With a flurry of punches and kicks, he blasted the vines away and charged at Chu Qingyun.
Meanwhile, a burning fighting spirit ignited in Chu Qingyun’s eyes.
This was his first time fighting an Earth Spirit Realm expert!
Facing Qingwa, Chu Qingyun didn’t back down. He met the charge head-on, Strange Sword in hand. The two clashed, their battle so intense that it shattered some of the watchtowers on the surrounding city walls.
Qingwa’s Primordial Power was many times purer than Chu Qingyun’s, making his attacks incredibly potent, whether used directly or channeled into a Soul Technique.
But Chu Qingyun had his Tier Four Martial Soul, Thunder Light Sword Qi, the Strange Sword, Secret Techniques, and many other methods. In a real fight, he was no weaker than Qingwa.
The two traded blows for dozens of rounds, but neither could gain the upper hand.
The surrounding Great Xia Dragon Guards had already retreated to a safe distance, their hearts filled with shock.
’Chu Qingyun... he’s actually fighting an Earth Spirit Realm expert to a standstill, despite only being a Level Three Martial Spirit! Even if his opponent is only from the Martial Soul Hall, he’s still a genuine Earth Spirit Realm expert!’
Meanwhile, down below the city wall, Xu Baolin had been growing anxious. He was about to use his ultimate, last-resort move to quickly finish off Flame Wolf and his two companions so he could rush up to help.
But when he saw that Chu Qingyun had not only broken through to Level Three Martial Spirit but was also fighting Qingwa to a draw, he smiled. ’Fighting an Earth Spirit Realm expert to a standstill as a Level Three Martial Spirit... As expected of the one who obtained *that thing*...’
Being able to fight Qingwa to a draw meant that even if the other Level Four Martial Spirit joined the fray, Chu Qingyun would be able to hold on for a while, even if he couldn’t win.
Thus, Xu Baolin was no longer in a hurry. He returned to his original pace, continuing his battle with Flame Wolf’s trio.
「On the city wall.」
The longer Qingwa fought, the more shocked and anxious he became.
Facing a mere Level Three Martial Spirit, he felt an incredible sense of strain. He actually couldn’t defeat Chu Qingyun!
If someone had told him before that he couldn’t even handle a Level Three Martial Spirit, Qingwa would have scoffed in disdain.
But now, it was actually happening!
Chu Qingyun, on the other hand, was growing more and more fired up, even showing faint signs of overpowering Qingwa.
However, at this crucial moment, the other Level Four Martial Spirit managed to neutralize the lingering effects of Xu Baolin’s previous slash and was now rushing toward the top of the wall.
"Heh heh, Chu Qingyun, you’re dead meat now. You can block one Level Four Martial Spirit, but I refuse to believe you can block two!" Qingwa sneered.
Deep down, however, he felt a hint of indignation. ’Why is this brat so strong?!’
Chu Qingyun glanced over and saw the approaching Level Four Martial Spirit.
Just as Qingwa had said, he could fight one-on-one to a draw, but against two, he would likely be outmatched.
But Chu Qingyun showed no signs of panic. Instead, he smiled and said, "If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to finish you off before he gets here."
