Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Show Some Sincerity
"A sword and a palm, yet he’s completely unharmed. On the contrary, he’s getting stronger as the fight goes on," Elder Purple Robe said, his eyes shining. ’Just how deep does this boy’s power go? How many more trump cards is he hiding?’
Hearing this, Luo Bi, who stood to the side, clenched his fists, his expression turning even more unsightly.
’To think such a monstrous talent actually exists in this world.’
"Kill!"
Qin Ya roared, his spear becoming even more swift and fierce.
He used the intense battle to continuously vent the destructive will in his mind. Gradually, his own consciousness began to regain the upper hand. He only needed to keep venting for a little longer, and he could suppress this will completely.
"Sword Slash the Vastness!"
Li Fei roared and knocked Qin Ya back with a single strike. He then raised his longsword high, drawing upon majestic Primordial Qi. A flash of Sword Light appeared, but a speck of pitch-black radiance emerged from within it. The dark radiance intensified, completely suffusing the Sword Light.
The pitch-black Sword Light emanated a peerless sharpness, as if it would sunder the very heavens and earth. Its terrifying power whipped up fierce gales around Li Fei.
"Bring it on!"
Qin Ya threw his head back and roared, gripping his spear. Circulating the True Essence within him, he abruptly drew upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and a massive, five-hundred-zhang Primordial Qi Vortex began to swirl into existence.
Fierce gales swept out as endless Primordial Qi converged around Qin Ya.
One could only draw upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi after stepping into the Sky-Controlling Realm. Qin Ya had just made his breakthrough, yet the Primordial Qi he commanded was in no way inferior to that of Sky-Controlling High Rank Martial Artists like Li Fei and Li Shuo. Such terrifying talent was enough to make anyone stare in shock.
It was hard to imagine how immense the power he could command would be if he took another step forward. Would he be able to crush everyone beneath the Celestial Human Realm?
Could he truly sweep through his own realm, undefeated?
Primordial Qi converged like a tempest. Gripping his spear, he unleashed the Wind-Splitting Spear Technique. It felt as if it could tear heaven and earth asunder, infused with a will that sought to destroy everything.
This wind was a true Wind of Destruction!
As the wind swept through, the void rippled violently, its frenzy like that of a Demon God.
"Hah!"
With a low shout, both powerful attacks were unleashed at once.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Wind-Splitting Spear Technique collided with the Sword Light. The violent storm kicked up thousand-zhang-high waves, causing the sea to surge backward. Currents of seawater shot out in all directions like meteorites, and a few Martial Artists who were too close were instantly injured.
"Everyone, get behind me."
The Blond Giant on the Lion Palace’s Profound Vessel roared. The youths from the Lion Palace immediately retreated. The Blond Giant took a step forward, and his aura was like that of a sleeping lion suddenly opening its eyes. With a roar, it looked down upon the world.
Under the pressure of his aura, the countless currents of seawater could not get a single inch closer.
The Blond Giant then formed a series of hand seals, activating the Profound Vessel’s Defensive Array.
The members of the Blood Saber Pirate Group lacked the Blond Giant’s strength, but as pirates who had roamed the seas for years, they were more than capable of handling the aftershocks of the battle. Meanwhile, the Dancing Girls on the Profound Vessel were being protected by Elder Purple Robe.
Each Profound Vessel had different controls, and Elder Purple Robe didn’t know how to operate Qin Ya’s. Thus, he couldn’t activate its defenses and had to rely on his own formidable strength to block the battle’s aftershocks.
"Damn you, kid! You’ve actually managed to injure me again and again!"
Far away, Li Shuo, who had been sent flying by Qin Ya, spat out a mouthful of blood. A murderous glint condensed in his eyes as he stared at Qin Ya’s figure. His body then flashed forward. After deploying a Vigorous Shield to protect himself, he charged headfirst into the raging Energy Storm.
"Now die! Wind-Tearing Claw!"
Li Shuo formed his hands into claws, a fierce gale seeming to howl around them as he lunged for Qin Ya’s head. The void-rending claws were part of an extremely powerful Martial Skill. "Even with a Defensive Profound Soldier, I’ll take your life!"
BOOM! Before the claws could even touch Qin Ya’s head, a white light flashed. A powerful defense, as vast and impassable as a great river, enveloped Qin Ya, and Li Shuo’s sharp, tearing claws were stopped dead, unable to advance an inch.
"What a powerful Defensive Profound Soldier!"
Li Shuo’s pupils contracted, clearly shocked by the Defense Power of Qin Ya’s Scenic Landscapes. But at that very moment, a spear thrust out at him.
’Not good! Retreat!’
Li Shuo’s expression changed. A warning flared in his Divine Thought, and he instantly shot backward.
His Divine Thought had warned him, but the spear was as fast as a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through Li Shuo’s chest. Half the spear shaft jutted out from his back, bloody and exuding a chilling aura. Li Shuo’s eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
"I’ll take you down with me!"
Li Shuo roared hoarsely, striking out with a palm at full force.
Qin Ya neither dodged nor evaded. The palm strike had no hope of breaking through the defense of Scenic Landscapes. To him, it was no different than being hit by a gust of wind.
Now that he had reached the Extraordinary Realm, he could finally unleash the full might of the Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact, Scenic Landscapes. With such terrifying Defense Power, no Martial Artist beneath the Celestial Human Realm could harm him in the slightest. He was invincible.
"Li Shuo!"
Seeing this, Li Fei let out a furious roar and slashed out with his sword, its edge carrying a peerless sharpness.
The Energy Storm finally dissipated, but what followed was Li Fei’s frenzied assault. Sword after sword, one strike after another—countless beams of Sword Light rushed toward him.
"Excellent."
Qin Ya pulled his spear free and turned. Facing such a dense barrage of Sword Light, he could have easily dodged with his incredible speed, but he didn’t. He needed to vent—to release the irrepressible destructive will that was raging in his mind.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
His spear swept out again and again, shattering the beams of Sword Light one after another.
Li Fei seized the opportunity to rush to Li Shuo’s side. He took out a golden Elixir and fed it to him, temporarily halting the rapid decline of his life force.
"Li Fei... this... this boy is too strong. I’m... I’m afraid we’re no match for him," Li Shuo said weakly, his face pale as he coughed up a clot of blood.
Li Fei was silent. Only after clashing with Qin Ya did he truly understand how formidable the boy before him was. His attacks, for one, contained a strange will. Empowered by this will, his Attack Power was extraordinarily high—nothing like that of a newly ascended Extraordinary Martial Artist.
Suddenly, Li Fei shouted up at Qin Ya, who was still in the air, "Young man, let us have a truce!"
"Oh? A truce."
Qin Ya gave an indifferent smile. By now, the destructive will inside his body had gradually subsided, and his rationality had mostly returned. Moreover, he seemed to have grasped something incredible: the Mysteries of Destruction!
It was one of the highest of all Mysteries.
Although he could not yet wield it with proficiency, it was undoubtedly a monumental gain.
"That’s right. We are subordinates of an Ancient King. No matter how great your Talent, Your Excellency must know that before a Martial Arts King, we are all but ants. I ask that you cease this battle for the sake of the Ancient King," Li Fei said, his voice flat.
Nothing showed on his face, but inwardly he was undoubtedly seething with rage.
Two Sky-Controlling High Rank Extraordinary Martial Artists, beaten into such a sorry state by someone who had just become an Extraordinary Martial Artist. They even had to rely on the Ancient King’s name to save their own lives. To them, this was an undeniable disgrace.
"You want a truce? Fine."
Qin Ya said with a cool smile, "Then show me some sincerity."
