Chapter 2031: Chapter 2036: Scaring Them Off [Sixth Update]
"Go!"
Without any hesitation, Qi Gao and Qi Li immediately used their escape technique to flee.
Xia Liu wouldn’t let them off so easily.
A few moments later, the two were already fifty miles away.
At the same time, Xia Liu silently appeared twenty meters ahead.
With a slight raise of the sword, arrogant words slipped out: "Think you can escape?"
"Damn it! This is the Instantaneous Movement Divine Power!"
"Hmph!"
Qi Li snorted coldly and shouted, "Use the Blood Shield!"
Without any delay, a mist of blood erupted from Qi Li’s body.
In no time, Qi Li and Qi Gao disappeared from Xia Liu’s divine sense range.
Although using the Blood Shield would cause immense damage to the energy body.
It couldn’t be repaired in a short period.
But Qi Li and Qi Gao had no choice.
Xia Liu’s Instantaneous Movement Technique was too overwhelming.
They thought Xia Liu couldn’t catch up with them just now.
But before their thoughts could settle, he had already appeared in front of them.
And his presence was even more intimidating than when he fought Qi Yun!
Their strength was about the same as Qi Yun’s.
Xia Liu could easily slice Qi Yun’s body in half, severely injuring his Nascent Soul in a split second.
Even if they joined forces with Qi Gao, they could at best gravely wound Xia Liu.
And the final result would likely be their bodies destroyed, their Nascent Souls shattered!
A complete demise!
Considering these matters, Qi Li could only use the Blood Shield to escape Xia Liu’s divine sense range.
The damage to their foundation was minor compared to preserving their lives!
Once they return, they will certainly report the truth, perhaps even exaggerate Xia Liu’s power.
To have Qi Ao send elders with higher cultivation!
Otherwise, the Qi Family’s reputation would be lost!
The Qi Family’s reputation is already tarnished.
An elder at the Nascent Soul Early Stage was defeated by a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator, his physical body shattered, his Nascent Soul severely injured.
If word gets out, the entire Northern Realm would be shaken.
Xia Liu could be said to have ascended to a legendary figure in the Northern Realm by stepping on the Qi Family!
After all, such an event has never occurred in hundreds of years.
A Golden Core Stage defeating a Nascent Soul Stage...
Xia Liu quickly returned to the original battle location.
Qingqing and Li Yun’s complexions had mostly recovered.
Li Yun even looked at Xia Liu with a smile, "Your intelligence could be seen as demonic."
"Oh? Why do you say that, senior?"
Xia Liu didn’t know if Li Yun was praising him.
Or sarcastically mocking him.
"If you continued to tangle with those two, you might have had to reveal more of your cards, and still find it difficult to kill them."
"That is indeed true. Once they understand my strength, those two would likely be very cautious and easily use the Blood Shield to escape."
Xia Liu nodded, acknowledging that Li Yun saw through the situation clearly.
"When they first started to flee, your goal was already achieved, but to make it more convincing and even cause them some loss, you chased them with your sword, forcing them to use the Blood Shield to escape."
"Brilliant!"
Qingqing clapped her hands and said.
At that time, when she saw Xia Liu disappear into thin air, she was about to worry herself sick.
This guy must be chasing those two old guys.
But she didn’t expect that his goal wasn’t to fight.
It was to intimidate.
Using such a method to force the opponent to use the Blood Shield to escape.
Causing damage at their foundation.
"Haha, I didn’t expect them to be so afraid."
Xia Liu rubbed his nose, not used to being praised.
"If my Qingqing had half your strength and cultivation, this old bone of mine wouldn’t have to worry so much."
"Grandmother, I’m also very strong, alright?"
Qingqing was thinking of unsealing her powers.
After all, she is a Golden Core Stage cultivator!
"Yes, yes, if Qingqing didn’t have a restriction within you, my small skills are nothing."
"Pfft! Brother Xia, don’t praise me so highly, it might go to my head."
Qingqing blushed as she spoke.
"Haha, let me first check what information he left me."
Long before when Qi Yun’s Nascent Soul became tangible, lacking Body Protection Spirit Force.
Xia Liu discovered something mysterious on Qi Yun.
Time was pressing, he could only scare away Qi Li and Qi Gao, so he had time to investigate.
Xia Liu found a storage bag and a crystal stone on the halved Qi Yun.
When he picked up the crystal stone, he could sense tiny vibrations emanating from it.
"This aura, it’s a Mysterious Art!"
Li Yun immediately recognized that the aura on the crystal stone was the same as that of a Divine Mechanist!
"Indeed, this should be the Divine Mechanist capturing my aura and leading it to this foreign stone, the red dot should be my location."
Xia Liu immediately recognized the intricacies of the crystal stone.
The item was valuable, but all its worth had been exploited.
In no more than a month, this crystal stone would become an ordinary rock.
Xia Liu played with it for a moment, then shattered it with one palm.
"Brother Xia, does the Divine Mechanist have any Dharma Treasure to spy on your exact location?"
"There shouldn’t be any more. This piece was created with my blood through a secret technique. I rarely bleed, so the Divine Mechanist likely had no further opportunities."
Xia Liu half-jokingly said.
"Alright, but it’s something we have to guard against."
"Young Friend Xia, now you and the Qi Family have completely severed ties..."
Thinking of this matter gave Li Yun a headache.
Why are Xia Liu’s enemies always so formidable!
Even she, with her Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivation, was powerless.
According to her knowledge, the Qi Family has a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator!
A Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, one step further would be the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Divinity Transformation, akin to gods in the mortal world!
How could an ordinary cultivator provoke them...
"I have a hunch, the Zhuang Family won’t let me off either..."
"A second-tier top family in the Myriad Realms, the Zhuang Family, and a first-tier peak Northern Realm clan, the Qi Family, my brother, you are surely the first person in the Northern Realm in hundreds of years!"
Even Qingqing didn’t know what to say anymore.
Even just the Zhuang Family was enough to make her feel suffocated.
"Qingqing is quite flattering me."
"Cough cough, you are the most daring person in hundreds of years, stirring up trouble fearlessly!"
...
"Haha..."
Xia Liu and Li Yun were both amused.
But thinking carefully, it truly was the case.
"Young Friend Xia, what do you plan to do next?"
"I plan to stay in the Xishan Mountain Realm for a while."
"To avoid a direct confrontation with the Qi Family cultivators in this heated time?"
Li Yun questioned.
"Yes, my strength isn’t enough to crush a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage. I plan to deal with the Divine Mechanist matter using assassination methods. As for when she will fall and when the Myriad Realms will quake, the senior will know."
Xia Liu smiled.
"Good! I support your decision. If you need my assistance, just send a message to the Ultimate Heart Sect."
"Much appreciated!"
Xia Liu cupped his hands.
"Then I’ll return to the Ultimate Heart Sect with Qingqing first."
"Grandmother..."
"Qingqing, no mischief!"
"Alright."
Xia Liu smiled and waved, "Farewell, senior. Qingqing, make sure you focus on your cultivation when you return."
"Farewell."
With that, Li Yun took Qingqing and disappeared from Xia Liu’s sight.
An hour later, Xia Liu set off, his destination was also the Myriad Realms!
