Chapter 114: Want to kill my main body, did you ask me?
Although Wu He was suppressed by half of his spiritual sense, his speed was as fast as lightning. He rushed to the vicinity, stomped on the ground, and as the granite beneath his feet exploded, he shot up into the sky like an eagle, lunging towards Qi Huang at the top of the stone pillar.
Before Wu He arrived, his precious sword had already unleashed a flurry of afterimages, with several streaks of sword energy shooting into the sky, slashing at Qi Huang.
Qi Huang did not want to confront him head-on. She rolled her body away from the stone pillar, hovering in the air, her long skirt fluttering.
Wu He had taken over the nest and stood proudly on top of the stone pillar, raising his hand and unleashing several more streaks of sword energy.
Qi Huang dodged as usual, contemplating whether to use her trump card. Since her spiritual sense was useless, this was her only remaining attack method.
“What? A dignified Huashen realm expert only knows how to run? Are you truly this cowardly?” Wu He taunted.
Qi Huang remained silent and had no intention of using her trump card. Her sole purpose was to hold him back, and there was no need to reveal her full strength.
“If that’s the case, then why do you think you can keep me?” Wu He was not a hot-headed person. He turned and leaped off the stone pillar, walking away with aGallant step, and in his haste, he even disregarded his disciple.
Seeing that the tornado beside her had dissipated and her swords had fallen to the ground, Qi Huang employed her old trick. Her spiritual sense swept up those swords and unleashed them in a torrent towards Elder Wu.
“Annoying fly! It seems I can’t rest easy without dealing with you.” Wu He’s face showed a ferocious expression. He reached out a hand towards the sky and grabbed虚, unleashing countless fire True Qi that formed a giant palm of flame.
This palm emitted terrifying heat and grabbed towards the dozens of long swords that were within arm’s reach.
“Sizzle!”
Nine out of ten of the dozens of long swords were grabbed at once and melted into molten iron by the flames, dripping down. Only a few that managed to escape were softened by the intense heat, becoming limp like slippery snakes with no killing power whatsoever.
“Ah! My sword! That was a precious sword that I’ve had for several years! Truly, when gods fight, the common people suffer.”
“What are you shouting about? As an Elder of the HongHua Sect and a genius disciple, whoever wins, won’t they be able to afford to replace your broken sword?”
“Are you saying Junior Sister Hong Ling might lose?”
“Looking at the current situation, it’s quite precarious.”
“That’s impossible! Why can’t she quickly defeat Elder Wu even though she is a whole major realm higher?”
“Who knows? Perhaps Junior Sister Hong Ling just broke through, so her realm is unstable?”
“Most likely, after all, she was still in seclusion before, wasn’t she?”
…
Disciples watching from afar were discussing amidst themselves.

The disciples gathered around were chattering amongst themselves.
“For over ten years, how many resources of the HongHua Sect has your so-called genius monopolized? Last time at the Evergreen Convention, you didn’t even get a spot for the Prefecture-level Immortal Seed. Since you are so useless, I will eliminate you today and lighten the burden of the HongHua Sect.”
Wu He eloquently disguised his actions and then took out an item from his embrace.
Qi Huang looked closely and found it to be a scroll.
Wu He opened the scroll, revealing an ink painting. However, it did not depict flowers, birds, fish, or insects, nor famous ladies, but rather knives, spears, swords, and halberds.
Wu He slashed his sword towards the sky, and a crescent-shaped sword energy formed by flames shot up into the sky. The intense heat evaporated a temporary gap in the mist overhead, allowing the midday sun to shine down onto the ink painting in his hand.
At the same time, the ink painting emitted a dark light, reflecting into the sky.
Just then, everyone felt the surroundings suddenly darken. They looked up in confusion and saw that dozens of feet above them, a mirage had somehow appeared. Numerous terrifying knives, spears, swords, and halberds were inverted, pointing towards the ground, exactly like those in the ink painting.
As time passed, the phantom weapons overhead began to solidify, emanating a forest-like killing intent, and descended like tangible dark light.
The light was incredibly fast, and Qi Huang had no way to dodge it. However, apart from a momentary palpitation, she felt no discomfort.
Qi Huang did not relax because of this. She wanted to dodge, but because of the pervasive killing intent, her mind was filled with fear, and she could not concentrate her spiritual sense. Her body swayed and she fell, unable to even maintain basic flight.
‘What is happening?’ Qi Huang’s face turned ashen. She could only watch helplessly as those knives, spears, swords, and halberds chopped down at her.
“This Magic Treasure is called the Fierce Weapon List. It depicts ancient, bloodthirsty fierce weapons. Although they are not real, the killing intent emanating from the images alone is enough to prevent you from condensing your spiritual sense. Let’s see where you can run now!” Elder Wu taunted triumphantly.
Due to the overwhelming killing intent, Qi Huang was indeed unable to move. She could only grit her teeth and sit on the ground, appearing like a lamb ready to be slaughtered.
“Does Elder Wu really want to kill Fairy Hong Ling?”
“Didn’t he say he wanted to eliminate this burden for the HongHua Sect? I think he’s serious.”
“This is a bit much. Although Fairy Hong Ling didn’t achieve great results at the Evergreen Convention, no one can deny that because of her efforts, the demons and monsters in our Huang Tian Prefecture have been greatly reduced.”
“So what? This is not something we can interfere with.”
“Why don’t we beg Elder Wu for mercy?”
…
The faces of the onlookers showed signs of pity. Some bravely began to plead.
“Don’t you know? She alone has consumed most of the HongHua Sect’s resources. As long as she is here, all disciples of the HongHua Sect will never have a chance to rise.” Elder Wu once again disguised his actions.
“Shameless wretch, it is clearly you who has been silently draining everyone’s blood.” Qi Huang cursed through gritted teeth.
Wu He did not give Qi Huang time to expose his secrets. He flipped the Fierce Weapon List in his hand, and the phantom weapons in the sky suddenly fell. Due to friction with the air, their surfaces ignited into fierce flames.
‘Do I really have to use my trump card?’ Qi Huang clenched her teeth tightly, filled with unwillingness, as she had been hiding for so long.
In the moment of Qi Huang’s hesitation, the knives, swords, and halberds had already fallen directly above her head, forming a dense, inescapable net.
The surrounding onlookers couldn’t bear to watch, and many turned their faces away.
“Goodbye, the number one genius of HongHua Sect.” Elder Wu sneered.
At the moment of life and death, Qi Huang could no longer hold back. She was about to use her trump card when a red figure flashed before her eyes, followed by a faint fragrance mixed with Golden Life Flower wafting towards her.
Qi Huang looked closely and saw Cheng Hong Ling standing in front of her. Although her slender body was not strong, looking up from below, she seemed to tower over the world.
Cheng Hong Ling drew the Blue Scale Sword at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye and slashed upwards several times, deflecting those phantom knives, spears, swords, and halberds. Then, she thrust her right palm upwards, as if wanting to prop up a sky for her clone.
Following that, countless water True Qi erupted from Cheng Hong Ling’s fair palm, forming a cloud of mist that rose rapidly, quickly covering the crack in the dark clouds above. The sunlight could no longer shine down.
Deprived of sunlight, the mirage in the sky disappeared, and Elder Wu’s Magic Treasure lost its effect.
Qi Huang looked up, gazing at her main body’s not-so-large jade hand, yet she felt an indescribable sense of security.
“Want to kill my main body, did you ask me?” Cheng Hong Ling, holding the Blue Scale Sword, advanced towards Elder Wu step by step, as she was playing the role of a clone, hence her words.
“You are the clone? Don’t you only have a Juling Realm cultivation? Why can you resist this Magic Treasure?” Elder Wu asked in shock, forgetting to retract his Magic Treasure.
“Go to hell and ask the King of Hell!” Cheng Hong Ling had no intention of asking for reasons and suddenly disappeared from her original spot.
