Chapter 215: Chapter 213: I’ll Slap You to Death
However, just then, something even more unexpected happened.
Ye Qianyu, who was beside the gray-robed old woman, seemed to be in a daze. Her eyes were vacant as she slowly walked, step by step, toward the refined-looking old man next to Qin Li.
The gray-robed old woman shouted sharply, "Ye Qianyu, what do you think you’re doing?"
But Ye Qianyu seemed not to hear her at all. Her eyes were fixed solely on the old man beside Qin Li as she murmured, "Xu Gui, is that you? Is it really you?"
Everyone stared at the scene, dumbfounded. Shangguan Shiyu watched her dazed master with a slight blush on her pretty face, her own expression filled with confusion.
As for the gray-robed old woman, upon hearing the name Xu Gui, a sharp glint flashed in her vicious, triangular eyes. She leaped into the air toward Ye Qianyu, her right hand forming a claw as she lunged, cursing furiously, "You disgraceful thing! You and your disciple are just a pair of bitches!"
"AHH!"
A heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted. The old man, Xu Gui, exploded with a terrifying aura. He shot toward the gray-robed old woman like a bolt of lightning, his hands clenched into fists and his face contorted with rage. He bellowed, "You old bitch! Do you remember the Xu Gui you nearly killed all those years ago?"
"You’re courting death!" the gray-robed old woman snorted coldly. Her body, which had been lunging for Ye Qianyu, paused mid-air. Then, erupting with an even more powerful aura, she charged at Xu Gui.
BANG!
A deafening, earth-shattering explosion rang out. A massive wave of energy burst outward from the point where their attacks collided. The force slammed into the ground below, instantly blasting open a crater several meters deep!
Soil and rock flew everywhere as everyone hastily retreated.
Looking again, the gray-robed old woman had been forced back several dozen meters in the air, and the old man, Xu Gui, had also been pushed back by the same distance. The two of them were actually evenly matched!
Ye Qianyu finally snapped out of her trance, tears streaming down her face. Seeing Xu Gui land beside her, she suddenly burst into tears, her sobs so full of grief that she couldn’t even speak a single word.
The gray-robed old woman flew into a rage, cursing, "You bitch! This old woman will clean up her sect!"
As she spoke, she lunged toward Ye Qianyu. Qin Li sneered and cursed, "You old bitch who specializes in tearing lovers apart, is sneak-attacking from behind your specialty?"
With that, he gripped his Blood-Drinking Divine Sword and charged at the gray-robed old woman.
From below, Shangguan Shiyu cried out, "Qin Li, be careful!"
"Don’t worry, my darling wife! Just watch how your future husband beats this damn old bitch to death!"
Qin Li let out a long cry. A Water Dragon formed from pale blue Sword Qi instantly shot forth from his Blood-Drinking Divine Sword!
Over on the side, the disciple from the Cui Family narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the Sword Qi Water Dragon. A look of horror flashed in his eyes. As a member of a family specializing in Ice Attribute Combat Skills, he could naturally tell how powerful Qin Li’s attack was.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the gray-robed old woman slapped the pale blue Sword Qi Water Dragon apart. But before she could even catch her breath, Qin Li sent a Fire Dragon Sword Qi shooting toward her!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Another three Gold, Wood, and Earth Dragon-shaped Sword Qis bombarded the gray-robed old woman in quick succession.
All the onlookers couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
The disciple from the Thousand Mechanism Sect, who had been the first to retreat, looked at the gray-robed old woman with utter disgust. If not for the need to maintain the dignity of a major sect, he would have started cursing long ago. ’That young man was right,’ he thought. ’This old bitch is clearly up to no good! And for this young man to be so powerful... he’s even a Five Elements Body!’
’With someone like that, you either kill them in one blow, or if you’re not confident you can, you should never make an enemy of them in the first place!’
The other young prodigies also watched this scene in horror. They were all powerful individuals in their own right and wouldn’t spare a second glance for ordinary people.
But at this moment, they had to admit that even if they were the ones fighting the Grand Elder of the Four Seasons Valley, they probably wouldn’t fare much better than Qin Li!
But how could they possibly know that this wasn’t even the full extent of Qin Li’s power!
If he hadn’t seen them here, Qin Li wouldn’t have bothered holding back. But in front of these disciples from major families, revealing his full strength would likely lead to unexpected trouble.
Over on the side, the four Elders from the Four Seasons Valley saw how their Grand Elder was being pushed into a sorry state by this brat. They grew furious, and each gripping their weapons, they prepared to rush forward and surround Qin Li.
Meanwhile, Xu Gui was gently comforting the emotional Ye Qianyu while keeping an eye on the battle. Seeing the other Elders about to swarm Qin Li, he let go of Ye Qianyu and whispered in her ear, "Qianyu, this time, even if someone at the Venerable Realm stands in my way, I will take you with me!"
With that, Xu Gui let out a long cry. "Is this how the Four Seasons Sect operates? Ganging up on one person?"
As he spoke, he unleashed the powerful aura of the Celestial Embracing Realm, enveloping the Four Seasons Sect Elders who were about to attack Qin Li. He declared loudly, "Come on! You all had a part in what happened years ago! Most of you in the Four Seasons Sect are just a bunch of twisted, dark-minded, perverted women!"
"Pah! What nonsense!"
Meanwhile, Ye Qianyu walked over and took Shangguan Shiyu’s hand. After hearing Xu Gui’s words, a soft chuckle escaped her lips, and a smile broke across her perpetually icy face. She even casually said something she would have never said in the past, in a tone that sounded almost like she was pouting playfully.
Her smile was truly captivating enough to topple cities, stunning Shangguan Shiyu, who was so used to her master’s cold expression.
"Shiyu, do you hate me?" Ye Qianyu asked softly, pursing her lips as she glanced at the battle.
Shangguan Shiyu was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "As long as I can be with him, I don’t hate anyone!"
Hearing this, Ye Qianyu was stunned for a long while before sighing. "You see things much more clearly than I do. I’m not as wise as you... I’ve been pining in misery for a hundred years!"
The battle between Qin Li and the gray-robed old woman was incredibly fierce. Qin Li had a wide variety of attacks and an endless arsenal of techniques. Moreover, relying on the Divine Weapon in his hand, the gray-robed old woman didn’t dare to block his attacks head-on.
Likewise, the gray-robed old woman’s Celestial Embracing Realm strength was not for show. Her every attack held immense power, enough to shatter mountains and split stone. However, even after they had exchanged over seventy blows, she still hadn’t managed to touch even the corner of Qin Li’s sleeve.
’Over a year ago, when I fought this brat, he had almost no power to fight back,’ the gray-robed old woman fumed internally. ’If I hadn’t been careless and fallen for a trick with his Divine Weapon, how could he possibly have been my opponent? If Bing Mengyun hadn’t interfered and stopped me back then, this little bastard would have died by my hand long ago!’
Qin Li’s progress made the gray-robed old woman’s heart pound with fear. In just a year and a half, he was able to fight her on equal footing, relying on his miraculous Body Technique and Unparalleled Divine Sword. What’s more, she even had to be careful to prevent him from injuring her.
The gray-robed old woman’s face twisted as she roared, "You little bastard! You son of a bitch! Today, this old woman will torture you to death, and then I’ll deal with those two little bitches!"
Qin Li bared his teeth in a grin. "Old bitch, that’s exactly what I, Master Qin, was going to say to you!" As Qin Li spoke, he shot back a hundred meters. The gray-robed old woman, her momentum like a rainbow, charged straight after him.
Suddenly, Qin Li let out a sharp whistle. A terrifying aura rushed out from the forest toward the gray-robed old woman. An Ice Arrow shot through the air with a piercing shriek, distorting the very air it passed through as it flew straight at her.
The gray-robed old woman was shocked. ’To think this brat still had a helper hiding in the woods!’ She roared, and with a swirl of her right hand, the air twisted, forming a vortex.
When the Ice Arrow flew into the vortex, it was as if it had been caught in something sticky, its speed slowing down many times over.
At that moment, Qin Li also thrust forward with his sword, a long, deep blue Fire Sword Qi hissing from its tip!
The onlookers in the distance were dumbfounded. The young man from the Thousand Mechanism Sect narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them as he muttered, "A Black Gold Divine Leopard... How is that possible?"
The others were all slack-jawed, exclaiming, "Heavens, this... where did that Spirit Beast come from? It’s terrifying!"
This was a move Qin Li and Xiaohai had used countless times to ambush people in the forbidden land. Their coordination was simply seamless.
The gray-robed old woman had just blocked the arrow, an act that had already consumed most of her concentration. Faced with Qin Li’s world-shaking strike, how could she possibly dodge?
This early-stage Celestial Embracing Realm Martial Artist had half an arm lopped off by Qin Li’s sword!
Xiaohai’s figure flashed and disappeared back into the vast forest. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. By the time people realized what had occurred, the battle... seemed to be over!
"AHH!"
The gray-robed old woman let out a bloodcurdling scream. The sound was so wretched it seemed capable of shattering eardrums. The arm that had been severed was her right arm!
Before the gray-robed old woman could resort to self-detonating to take him down with her, Qin Li’s body left a trail of afterimages in the air. His speed was pushed to the absolute limit. His Cloud Ladder Jump Lightweight Skill was like stepping onto the path to ascend the heavens, but his speed was so fast that no one could even see him clearly.
THUD!
Qin Li’s knee slammed viciously into the gray-robed old woman’s Dantian. The blow was so painful it nearly made her pass out. At the same time, the massive power she had been gathering to self-detonate instantly dissipated with the excruciating pain from her Dantian.
Qin Li swung his arm and slapped the gray-robed old woman hard across her ugly, old face.
SLAP!
The force of the slap sent the gray-robed old woman flying backward, spitting a trail of blood in mid-air. But Qin Li had no intention of letting her go.
"You old bitch! This is for not letting me take my wife!"
SLAP!
"This is for framing me again!"
SLAP!
"This is for being a psycho! This is for having a twisted soul! This is for bullying my wife, you old beast, you old bitch! I’ll beat you to death!"
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
Qin Li flew through the air, and in a single instant, who knows how many times he slapped the gray-robed old woman!
