Chapter 68: Chapter 68: He Cannot Die_l

Translator: 549690339

Deep within the Tiankui Mountain Range.

Qin Changqing parked the Golden Shuttle Boat on a mountain peak.

“The forbidden area is right ahead.” He stood and looked out from the flying boat, asking, “Are you sure the Star Demon Order is in there?”

Si Hongyue, dressed in black with a veil covering her face, hid her presence by his side.

“I am certain. The cultivation technique I practice allows me to sense the general direction of the Star Demon Order.”

“That means your opponent can sense it too.”

Qin Changqing took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Liu Shuisheng.

He didn’t act together with the people from Qixiao Sect this time. Mainly because he was worried that Si Hongyue would be recognized, he only brought Qin Lingshuang and Liu Siqi. The former was for fighting, while the latter was for treasure hunting and completing the sect’s mission.

“Sister Qin, who is that woman?” Xunbao Qi was quite curious about Si Hongyue’s identity.

“You don’t need to know. In any case, she won’t be our friend. Senior Brother knows what he’s doing.”

Xunbao Qi didn’t ask further.

After sending the message, Qin Changqing stowed the Golden Shuttle Boat away, and the four of them continued their journey using flying swords.

The Golden Shuttle Boat was too eye-catching, and its glinting golden light might attract unwanted attention. So it was better to keep a low profile within the forbidden area.

However, they had not gone far when a huge boat came chasing after them.

“Hahaha! Steward Qin, why are you in such a hurry?”

The boat exuded dazzling colors, much larger than the Golden Shuttle Boat. Glittering runes flashed atop it, showing that it was no ordinary vessel.

Gongsun Ming stood at the bow of the boat, laughing loudly.

Qin Changqing raised an eyebrow: “City Lord Gongsun, are you here to help my Qixiao Sect deal with the troublemaker, the Demon Cultivator?”

“What do you think?”

Gongsun Ming’s gaze swept over the four of them, lingering on Si Hongyue’s figure but eventually disregarding it. “Steward Qin, when you took away my Gongsun Family’s daughter-in-law back then, I said that this grudge would not be easily resolved. It’s your own fault. If you had stayed in Yinxu Prefecture, I would have no chance to kill you. But you shouldn’t have come here, let alone separate from the people of Lingxiao Sect.”

In fact, Gongsun Ming had been keeping an eye on Qin Changqing since he left Yinxu Prefecture.

Although he didn’t want to act against Qin Changqing at this time, he couldn’t defy the City Lord’s orders.

“Tsk, you guys are quite bold.”

“The bold one is you.” Gongsun Ming snorted softly, “In this wilderness, even if you die, no one will collect your corpse.”

Qin Changqing smiled slightly: “Indeed, even if the Gongsun Family is wiped out in this wilderness, no one would know, would they?”

Gongsun Ming furrowed his brows, unable to determine if Qin Changqing was bluffing or truly confident. However, with an arrow already nocked on his bow, he had no choice but to shoot: “Kill them all!”

“Yes!”

Over twenty Flame Armor Soldiers descended from the boat immediately.

These Flame Armor Soldiers were all at least at the Tier 6 Foundation Establishment stage, led by Yang Hao. Gongsun Ming had handpicked this elite force and spared no expense to intercept Qin Changqing.

“Sigh.” Qin Changqing shook his head secretly, “I’m usually compassionate, but Saintess, as you can see, I’m in a difficult situation. Can you please lend me a hand?”

“Hmph!”

Si Hongyue snorted unhappily.

Being used as a pawn, she was naturally displeased.

“Lingshuang, protect Siqi.” Qin Changqing said, waving his sleeve. His long sword fell, sweeping up a torrential river-like sword energy toward the Flame Armor Soldiers.

Boom!!!

Upon the first collision, Yang Hao – at the Foundation Establishment Peak was sent flying, spitting out blood. Gongsun Ming was shocked.

“How could you!?”

“Hehe.” Qin Changqing flexed his shoulders. Ever since being ambushed, he hadn’t made a move. Now, at Tier 6 Foundation Establishment, he was only one step away from Tier 7. The effect of Tiandao Foundation Establishment cultivation technique coupled with the body strengthening of the refining cauldron was slightly better than he had anticipated.

“Form the array!”Gongsun Ming let out a light shout, and with him at the center, the Flame Armor Army quickly formed a large array.

The array was based on groups of three, with each trio forming a part of the larger array, as strange energies circulated between them.

“Qin Changqing, today will be your death day!”

Gongsun Ming was at the center of the array, his large energy pouring into

him. His cultivation that had already reached Half-step Golden Elixir now

emitted a terrifying pressure, like a true Golden Elixir expert!

Boom!

Gongsun Ming wielded his golden sword, with fierce spiritual fire raging, as he slashed towards Qin Changqing. The latter remained completely unfazed.

“Great River Sword!”

Water and fire combined, making hissing sounds as spiritual qi collided chaotically in the air, and finally exploded with a bang.

A draw!?

Gongsun Ming’s eyes narrowed, not having time to think of why Qin Changqing had suddenly become so powerful.

He took out a talisman seal and slapped it on his sword, which immediately shone with golden light. A golden crow seemed to spread its wings amidst the sword’s hum, and under Gongsun Ming’s control, it flew towards Qin Changqing.

This golden crow appeared lifelike, but without spirit, its amplifying effect was drawn through the seal’s method.

The might of the golden crow, like the momentum of a sword, was not to be underestimated.

Qin Changqing immediately urged the Trinity Sword Formation, merging the three flying swords into one, which then collided head-on with the golden crow, boosted by the power of the Great River Sword.

In an instant, a terrifying explosive sound rang out, its power approaching that of a Golden Elixir!

Qin Changqing was forced back several paces, his internal spiritual qi surging unstably.

Yang Hao took advantage of the situation, his cultivation bolstered by the manpower of the group formation.

“Senior Brother…” Qin Lingshuang’s eyes grew cold, about to take action, only to see a flying sword shoot through and sever Yang Hao’s arm in a single strike.

Yang Hao clutched the severed part of his arm and quickly retreated.

“He cannot die.”

A cold voice sounded.

Gongsun Ming’s gaze shifted, only to see Si Hongyue taking a step and appearing before Qin Changqing.

“Void Stepping!?” His heart tensed up.

Void Stepping, a Golden Elixir powerhouse!?

Unlike the flight of the Establishing Foundation Stage, upon reaching the Golden Elixir Realm, the Golden Elixir in a person’s body naturally formed a connection with the heavens and earth, allowing them to walk on air as if on flat ground.

But how could it be!?

Isn’t she at the Foundation Establishment Peak?

If she was in the Golden Elixir Realm, Yang Hao and the others would not have had a chance to survive when they were attacking Qin Changqing earlier!

“Who are you exactly!? Do you know that my Gongsun Family works for the Dayan Dynasty?”

“Insignificant shining bugs, perish.” Si Hongyue didn’t bother to say more. At this moment, she moved her fingers, and a wisp of black qi floated from her body. The mark between her eyebrows flickered, and a dark lotus platform suddenly appeared.

Si Hongyue muttered incantations, and the dark lotus absorbed the vast spiritual qi and released an incredibly dazzling dark light, shooting towards Gongsun Ming.

Gongsun Ming was horrified and immediately took out a pagoda from his storage bag, calling upon all his strength to fight back.

Bang!!!

The lotus platform collided with the pagoda, and Qin Changqing distinctly saw the magical treasure that had already reached the level of Effective Tools crumble under the power of the lotus platform in less than a breath’s time. The pagoda flew out, and Gongsun Ming, who was connected to it, was hit by the backlash, forcing him to desperately resist.

Hisss!—

The lotus platform pierced through Gongsun Ming’s chest and continued its unstoppable path, killing the Flame Armor Army members one by one.

Blood splattered!

The dead Flame Armor soldiers fell from the air.

Without the support of power, the large array also collapsed..
