Chapter 75: You All Come Together
As everyone knows, killing intent is the nemesis of spiritual sense. The only way for cultivators to overcome this weakness is to cultivate the essence spirit, which represents emotions and desires, into a clone and banish it as early as possible.
As for Cheng Hong Ling, her current cultivation level is only at the Huashen realm, which means she can at most cultivate one clone. If this clone is not an essence spirit, it will definitely be restrained by killing intent.
Hua Yu is different. She is already in the early stage of the Shentong Realm and can cultivate four clones, so she has long since banished her essence spirit.
Thus, Hua Yu thought of using the Bitter Sea Blood Saber. Although this item does not have much effect on herself, it is a nemesis to Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang.
“This time that little bitch is finished!”
Hua Meng and her disciple secretly rejoiced, and most of the surrounding cultivators had the same thought.
With such powerful killing intent, I’d like to see how the new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect will deal with it!
Cao Hong had an interested expression on his face, completely like a bystander, which was enough to prove that the various branches of the Cao family were indeed outwardly harmonious but inwardly discordant.
Hua Yu displayed a mysterious movement technique and rushed towards Qi Huang like lightning. The ferocious weapon in her hand was as red as if it were dripping blood under the catalysis of True Qi, and the killing intent on it instantly surged dozens of times. It was like an overwhelming force surging towards Qi Huang, distorting the air due to its immense power, forming a pale red river!
Although the surrounding cultivators were not the targets of the attack, they were still affected by this immense killing intent. Their faces turned pale, and they retreated one after another. Many with lower cultivation bases directly collapsed on the ground.
Hua Yu still did not stop. Her powerful spiritual sense penetrated her body, distorting the air and forming a translucent great river that also crushed towards Qi Huang.
Therefore, to outsiders, it seemed as if Hua Yu was controlling two great rivers, one turbid and one clear, crushing towards Qi Huang with immense power, so much so that the surrounding cultivators dared not even breathe.
“Hmph!”
A confident smile appeared on Qi Huang’s face, allowing the killing intent to crush over her.
The surrounding people widened their eyes and found that Qi Huang was still standing proudly in her spot, her expression not even changing in the slightest.
With a move of Qi Huang’s spiritual sense, the treasure sword in her hand flew out like lightning, tearing through the following river of spiritual sense and heading straight for Hua Yu’s face.
The expressions of the several little prodigies around them were solemn. The speed of this sword strike was at least something a cultivator at the third level of the Shentong Realm could achieve, and Hua Yu was only at the first level of the Shentong Realm. It would be difficult for her to resist it in a hurry!
Of course, what surprised them even more was that Jiang Ling was not affected by the killing intent.
“What?”
Hua Yu was greatly alarmed. She had no confidence in being able to block the attack with her dagger, so she madly urged the True Qi within her body to form a thick water screen in front of her, attempting to weaken the speed of the flying sword.
“Tsk tsk, you’re thinking too beautifully!”
Qi Huang showed a pitying expression on her face. She increased her spiritual sense a bit more, and the flying sword’s speed increased considerably. It directly rubbed against the air, forming ripples of light, and rushed towards Hua Yu’s water screen.
A bright flame appeared, drying up the water screen it encountered in front of it. It shot towards Hua Yu without being affected.
“She’s still holding back!”
Hua Yu’s eyes widened with disbelief. She could only watch as the flying sword shot towards her throat again, feeling extremely unwilling. Today, she was going to be defeated by that little bitch for the second time.
“If I had known this would happen, I should have used my full strength from the beginning!”
Hua Yu thought with deep regret.
Just then, a tall figure blocked Hua Yu’s path and then chopped flying Qi Huang’s flying sword with his sword.
Hua Yu looked closely and saw that it was none other than her husband, Cao Yang! She was overjoyed and tears flowed out, thinking that she had indeed found a good man.
“What’s going on? How come Jiang Ling’s clone was not affected by the killing intent? Could her cultivation really be more than just the Huashen Realm?”
“It must be so, because only by cultivating the essence spirit into a clone and sending it away will cultivators have some resistance to killing intent!”
“There is also a possibility that she hid her essence spirit elsewhere beforehand.”
“What a joke? She’s not an immortal, how could she know she would encounter killing intent?”
“Yes, I also tend to believe that she hid her strength!”
“Is that possible? An 18-year-old Shentong Realm expert, this is a prodigy among prodigies, but she only has eight parts of bloodline, how did she achieve it?”
“This shows that bloodline is bullshit!”
A group of onlookers once again erupted in discussions.
“Young Master Cao, this is a battle between me and Senior Aunt Hua, and it’s not appropriate for you to interfere like this?”
Qi Huang retrieved her sword and asked leisurely, but she was secretly pleased. She was deliberately showing leniency, aiming to lure these little prodigies out one by one.
“Yes! Are you trying to bully the weak with numbers?”
Shi Yuqi also questioned excitedly.
“Not at all! Not at all! Didn’t Hua Yu just say that she only wanted to guide a junior? We are all a family, it’s best to stop at the right moment to avoid hurting the harmony.”
Cao Yang deliberately played dumb.
“So you admit that she lost?”
Qi Huang pressed on.
“It’s not a battle, so how can there be a winner or loser?”
Cao Yang deliberately confused the issue.
“Is it useful for you to be acting unreasonable here? Losing is losing, winning is winning, everyone present knows it!”
Qi Huang said as she looked around.
“This Cao Yang’s mindset is really too low. It’s two people’s fight, why is he interfering?”
“What do you know, you stinky man? That’s called being a doting husband. He’d rather be criticized himself than see his wife suffer even the slightest harm. Learn from it!”
“What a love-struck fool. His behavior, let alone being a doting husband, even a doting mother would be scorned!”
“How dare you criticize the number one little prodigy, wait for your sect to be destroyed!
Who are you trying to scare? I’m a loner, what sect will he destroy?
That’s right, justice is in the hearts of the people! Losing is losing, winning is winning. It’s enough that the new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect could make Hua Yu suffer, proving that she indeed has the potential comparable to a descendant of immortals. In the future, the Nine Great Prodigies of the Cultivation World will become Ten Great Prodigies!
Yes, Hua Rong Sect has found a treasure again. No wonder they kicked Hua Yu out without hesitation!
The surrounding cultivators all made objective evaluations.
What nonsense are you spouting?
Hearing these discussions, Hua Yu became agitated and argued, “Did her sword wound me just now? Why do you say I lost?”
“That’s right, even if I didn’t intervene, Hua Yu would have been able to dodge that sword strike.”
Cao Yang also chimed in.
“You guys are too shameless!”
Shi Yuqi directly cursed.
“What’s wrong? You resort to personal attacks when you can’t argue? Is this the sect leader of Hua Rong Sect? It’s truly eye-opening!”
Cao Yang said sarcastically.
“You…”
Shi Yuqi was furious, but Cheng Hong Ling next to her stopped her.
“Master, don’t worry, my clone will make them convinced.”
Cheng Hong Ling reassured her.
“Still refusing to admit defeat? It’s okay, I have time. I’ll fight until you dare not argue anymore.”
Qi Huang also stated with a relaxed expression.
“Alright, I wasn’t using my full strength just now, so you took advantage of the opportunity. This time it will be different.”
Hua Yu was eager to try again, clearly still holding onto a sliver of hope.
“Wait!”
Cao Yang reached out to stop her and then shouted to the surroundings, “Brother Zheng, Brother Xiao, Brother Tang, Junior Sister Ning, Junior Sister Yang, you all saw it. My junior nephew is indeed a good prospect. With time, his future is limitless. How about you all guide her? I wonder which fellow Daoist is willing to help? I, Cao, will remember this favor.”
“What?”
Hearing this, all the surrounding cultivators were stunned. No one expected Cao Yang to be so shameless, resorting to a wheel battle against a junior, and those called out by name were all little prodigies with higher cultivation than Hua Yu.
“Cao Yang, aren’t you two (husband and wife) ashamed to ask for help to deal with a junior!”
Shi Yuqi reprimanded indignantly.
“What do you mean ‘deal with’? Didn’t I say it? It’s ‘guidance’!”
Cao Yang said with a half-smile.
The five little prodigies fell into thought. Although this matter seemed unrelated to them on the surface, upon closer consideration, if they allowed the new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect to completely defeat Hua Yu, their so-called immortal bloodline would be worthless, and their status would plummet.
“No need to think about it, how about you all come together? So I don’t have to deal with you one by one,”
Qi Huang provocatively said impatiently.
