Join the ServerBoom!A tremendous explosion ripped through the air, and the Evil Bone Cage shattered into countless fragments.Qin Yangjun stood unharmed in its center, his body shimmering with a flowing blue spiritual energy, as if he himself had become water.Deacon Zhao’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face a mask of shock.
“No… impossible!You are merely in the late Golden Core stage; how could you possibly withstand this Evil Bone Art?”
He knew well that this very technique had once trapped and slain a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Qin Yangjun raised a single hand, and a droplet of water slid from his palm.Around him, the water began to flow backward, coalescing into an array of water swords that pointed menacingly at Deacon Zhao.
Qin Yangjun gazed at his opponent with an impassive expression.
“Why do you suppose I earned the title ‘Azure Water Young Master’?”
His Heaven-tier cultivation technique (TL Note: A cultivation technique ranked among the highest tiers in terms of power and rarity), the Great Weak Water Art (TL Note: A powerful water-based cultivation technique), was Qin Yangjun’s only other trump card besides his Blood Chant Sword Intent.
This technique allowed him to transform his body into water, deflecting even a fatal blow, and to condense water vapor into a myriad of weapons.Its sole drawback was its immense spiritual energy consumption, rendering him utterly spent and vulnerable for a period afterward.
He had refrained from using it during the Heavenly Rankings (TL Note: A ranking system for cultivators based on their strength and achievements) competition because there had been no need; even with the Great Weak Water Art, he would not have been Yueyao’s match.
Qin Yangjun had only deployed the Great Weak Water Art once before, during a battle against a genius from the Beast King Valley, which was precisely how he earned the moniker Azure Water Young Master.
Since he had used it only a single time, and the art itself was obscure, even Hua Yaoyao remained unaware of this hidden power he possessed.
At that moment, sensing two powerful auras rapidly approaching from a distance, Deacon Zhao’s face turned ashen.He knew, with chilling certainty, that their scheme had utterly failed.
“Mu Xianxian truly has a remarkable younger brother!”
Yet, Qin Yangjun offered no further words, instead unleashing his water swords in a torrent towards Deacon Zhao.
As Deacon Zhao prepared to defend himself, the water swords in the air vanished without a trace.
“Again?!”
Before Deacon Zhao could even turn his head, a sword pierced through his chest.
Deacon Zhao found it utterly incomprehensible why a supposedly righteous individual would resort to such a dastardly sneak attack.
Perhaps the searing pain stimulated Deacon Zhao’s nerves, for as he stared at the Scarlet Glutton’s remains nearby, a flicker of madness appeared on his face.
“Even if I die, these Scarlet Glutton remains will never fall into your hands!”
Deacon Zhao roared, and a surge of black energy erupted from his body.Sensing the ominous change, Qin Yangjun swiftly dodged backward.
No sooner had Qin Yangjun landed than Yu Lingyue’s startled cry echoed in his ears.
“Senior Brother, run!He’s detonating his Nascent Soul!”
Run?!
Qin Yangjun desperately wished to flee, but the backlash from the Great Weak Water Art had already set in.A profound sense of weakness coursed through his limbs, his body collapsing abruptly as he fell to one knee.
Just as the situation hung by a thread.
Two streaks of azure light surged in from outside.
Mo Feiyu and another Nascent Soul cultivator from Azure Peak Mountain appeared amidst the group.Without a moment’s hesitation, they swiftly formed hand seals, then slammed their palms onto the ground.
A formation expanded outward from beneath their feet.
The next second, a golden flash enveloped them, and when everyone opened their eyes, they found themselves at the entrance of the cave.
The Azure Peak Mountain disciples who had been there before were all present, bearing various injuries.
Numerous corpses of demonic cultivators lay scattered around them.
Boom!
With a shuddering roar, the entire earth trembled.
Then, the mountain behind them began to shake violently, rapidly collapsing.
Mo Feiyu’s brow furrowed deeply.He flicked his sleeve, summoning an Immortal Skiff.
“Everyone, quickly board the skiff!”
The group scrambled onto the Immortal Skiff in a panicked rush.Qin Yangjun had barely registered what was happening when he found himself supported on either side.He turned his head to see Yu Lingyue and Hua Yaoyao steadying him.
After everyone had boarded, Mo Feiyu quickly chanted an incantation.The Immortal Skiff had just ascended into the sky.
Behind them, a series of booming crashes erupted.
The colossal mountain had utterly collapsed.
“The destructive power of a Nascent Soul self-detonation is truly terrifying…”
A disciple muttered in awe, gazing at the crumbling peak.
At this, Hua Yaoyao, standing nearby, offered an explanation:
“The power of a Nascent Soul’s self-detonation isn’t usually this exaggerated.This outcome is due to the extreme age of the ancient ruins; even without this incident, the ruins would have crumbled on their own within a century.”
The disciples all wore expressions of sudden realization.
Hua Yaoyao then scanned her surroundings.
“Is everyone alright?”
“Fine…”
“We’re fine, thank you for your concern, Senior Sister.”
“All unharmed.”
“Senior Sister, Li Xuanyang is still unconscious, but he has no serious injuries.”
“Oh, just leave him.As long as he’s not dead, it’s fine.”
Hua Yaoyao stated indifferently.She felt no particular dislike for Li Xuanyang, but certainly no affection either.His lack of ability coupled with his unfounded arrogance would ultimately be his undoing.
Just then, Qin Yangjun’s slightly embarrassed voice reached Hua Yaoyao’s ears.
“Um, could the two of you junior sisters please put me down first?”
Being held up by two girls made Qin Yangjun feel exceptionally awkward.
By this time, Qian Xiaoyu had already brought over a chair.
As the two girls helped Qin Yangjun settle into the chair, Mo Feiyu and the Azure Peak Mountain cultivators knelt on one knee before Qin Yangjun.
“We failed in our duty to guard.We beg Chief Disciple for punishment.”
“We beg Chief Disciple for punishment!”
“We beg Chief Disciple for punishment!”
“…”
Hua Yaoyao composed herself.Indeed, the Sect Master had ordered them to stand guard, yet they had allowed demonic cultivators to infiltrate, which was a clear dereliction of duty.
More importantly, they had left their Senior Brother in such a state.Given their Sect Master’s temperament, the entire Azure Peak Mountain sect might well be banished to mine in the borderlands.
Though it wasn’t entirely the fault of the Azure Peak Mountain cultivators, it was not her decision to make.
“According to sect regulati…”
Hua Yaoyao was about to speak when Qin Yangjun raised a hand, interrupting her.
“Enough.Sect Master Mo, please rise.Had it not been for you all, we would likely have been buried alive in those ruins.There is no talk of punishment.As for my sister, I will explain it to her.”
“But…”
Mo Feiyu was about to protest when a rift suddenly tore open in the sky.
A crimson figure emerged from it.Upon seeing who it was, Mo Feiyu’s heart tightened, and everyone on the Immortal Skiff quickly turned to bow in salute.
“Greetings, Blazing Sun Fairy!”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
“…”
Today, Mu Xianxian wore a fiery red gown, which lent her an added allure.
Mu Xianxian, who had been at the sect, suddenly felt a powerful feedback from the divine sense she had left on Qin Yangjun.
This was a clear omen that Qin Yangjun had encountered a formidable enemy.
Without a word, she immediately departed, tearing through the void to arrive at this location.
She then witnessed the collapsing mountain and Qin Yangjun, drained of spiritual energy, seated in a chair.
Moreover, she detected lingering demonic energy on Qin Yangjun’s person.
Her expression instantly turned cold.
A vast, oppressive aura spread across the sky.
How dare a demonic cultivator lay hands on her younger brother?!
