Chapter 75: Battle Begins (6)
“It’s her! It’s Qi Huang! It’s Hong Ling’s clone, I knew it, she must be preparing a big move.”
“Now we are saved, I heard that Hong Ling’s clone is more powerful than herself.”
“Is that true? How can a clone be stronger than the main body? The clone’s strength can at most reach 80% of the main body’s, this is common knowledge in the cultivation world.”
“Doesn’t ‘powerful’ only refer to cultivation level? I heard she’s good at acting!”
“Acting? What’s the use of acting? This is a fight, not a play!”
“What do you know? Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. If you act well enough, you can subdue the enemy without fighting.”
…
The people from the HongHua Sect were in high spirits, and the fear on their faces disappeared completely.
Xiao Sha slowly stopped, he turned back and examined Qi Huang, then sneered contemptuously: “You are her clone, Qi Huang? Bi Xin said your spiritual sense has reached the Shentong realm, is it true?”
“What? Junior Sister Hong Ling’s clone’s spiritual sense has reached the Shentong realm? How is that possible? Isn’t she only in the Huashen realm herself?”
“I also think it’s impossible! As we all know, a clone’s talent is only 80% of the main body’s, this is an ironclad rule of the cultivation world, no one can be an exception!”
“Speak quietly, don’t boost others’ morale and dampen our own!”
…
The disciples watching from the HongHua Sect whispered among themselves.
“Yes! I am a great master of the Shentong realm, so be sensible and let me kill you, otherwise, you probably won’t die comfortably!”
Qi Huang arrogantly raised her chin, this guy had hurt her before, so he definitely wouldn’t live, but she was naturally kind, so she could let him die quickly.
“Heh heh, putting on an act, don’t think I haven’t investigated you. You little brat, you can’t do anything else, but you’re quite good at acting. The Shentong realm is also faked, right? Bi Xin, that idiot, believes anything he hears, I won’t fall for it!”
Xiao Sha analyzed with self-importance.
“What should we do? Those people from the Juexian Cult seem very smart!”
“Could Immortal Qi’s cultivation level be a disguise?”
“It must be so, I knew it! How can a clone be stronger than the main body!”
“Let’s run away quickly! Otherwise, when those cultists break in, none of us will be able to escape. They only want women.”
…
The onlookers were a little restless.
“If you want to know if it’s true or not, you can take another step and try?”
Qi Huang calmly took out the Blue Scale Sword of her main body, the Sky Thunder Sword talisman on it was still flashing, and the thunderclouds in the sky had condensed to their peak, dark and oppressive, like the bottom of a pot, with dense lightning, roaring incessantly, like ferocious dragons devouring people.
“Be careful, this guy has Xieqisan on him!”
Cheng Hong Ling quickly reminded her.
“Xieqisan? He actually has Xieqisan!”
Qi Huang feigned surprise and said.
“What? Scared? If you’re scared, just stay put. When this Altar Master exterminates this HongHua Sect, come back with me to have children. If you give birth to offspring who can cultivate, there will be generous rewards!”
Xiao Sha smiled triumphantly.
“Scared! I’m so scared!”
Qi Huang laughed on the spot. Her true qi was probably not as valuable as Xieqisan. Feel free to vent if you want.
Cheng Hong Ling also reacted immediately when she saw her clone’s smile, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She had always said that cultivating spiritual sense had great flaws, but now she proved through actual combat that only cultivating true qi was the most stunted approach, being completely restrained by a mere Xieqisan.
“Where is your Xieqisan? Hurry up and use it! Otherwise, you might not have a chance later.”
Qi Huang kindly reminded him.
“You still want to stop me? I told you, if the path I want to take is blocked, I will fill it with corpses. If you are stubborn, then you will only become a corpse to pave the way, and you won’t even get to be a breeding tool.”
Xiao Sha was unmoved and continued to threaten: “Be a corpse! Or be a breeding tool, you choose!”
After saying that, Xiao Sha stepped forward.
Qi Huang’s figure instantly disappeared from her original spot, like a ghost without a trace. After the previous lesson, she knew that to win, she couldn’t hold back anything, otherwise, once the opponent reacted, she would be in a tough battle.
“Such speed! Has her spiritual sense really reached the Shentong realm!”
Xiao Sha was extremely shocked, and there was no longer any trace of contempt in his heart. He pushed his right palm forward, and the Xieqisan hidden in his sleeve completely dispersed, immediately forming a black smoke screen in front of him.
The onlookers were terrified. With such potent Xieqisan, as long as a cultivator entered it, even if they didn’t breathe through their nose, the part that touched their skin and was inhaled would be enough to cripple them, because once the toxin remained in the body, they would never be able to cultivate again.
This meant that in the eyes of outsiders, if Qi Huang wanted to kill Xiao Sha, it could only be a mutual destruction. However, in a battle between masters, life and death were separated by a split second, and outsiders had no time to remind her.
“Is this all? Are you looking down on me?”
Qi Huang remained unfazed, piercing through the smoke screen formed by the Xieqisan like an arrow, suppressing Xiao Sha with her spiritual sense without reservation. Her sword, unaffected, directly sliced across the man’s neck.
When Qi Huang’s figure appeared on the other side, she felt the water true qi in her body begin to dissipate, including in her Qi Sea. Her already pitiful cultivation was reduced to an empty shell, but so what? The impact on her was negligible, as Xieqisan would not harm the body.
“You… how could you…”
Xiao Sha covered his neck, his face filled with disbelief.
“I told you, without the identity waist token of the HongHua Sect, if you dare trespass, then this main gate is your gate of hell.”
Qi Huang snorted coldly, then casually put her sword back into her storage ring. It had the Sky Thunder Sword talisman, so anyone who was injured by it would definitely have no chance of survival.
Xiao Sha slowly moved his hand away, revealing a shallow wound on his neck, not enough to be fatal. Because at that critical moment of life and death, he instinctively turned his head slightly, and although he didn’t completely dodge the sword, he avoided the aorta and wasn’t directly slain.
But so what? With the Sky Thunder Sword, the real killing blow wasn’t the sword itself, but the thunder from above!
Therefore, in the next moment, the lightning that had reached its limit in the sky instantly fell like a torrential downpour, striking towards Xiao Sha.
Xiao Sha instinctively wanted to escape, but he couldn’t outrun the lightning. After running only two steps, he was immediately struck down by a bolt of lightning.
“Ah!”
Xiao Sha’s vitality was tenacious, and he didn’t immediately lose consciousness. So he let out a painful howl, but before he could recover, more lightning struck down. His strong body was like a tiny ant, unable to even cry out. Within a few breaths, he turned into ashes.
“I told you to come and die, but you wouldn’t listen. Now aren’t you comfortable!”
Qi Huang taunted him gloatingly. Thinking about how this guy had severely injured her in the Prefecture Capital before, she felt a surge of relief.
“Are you alright?”
Just then, Cheng Hong Ling ran up and asked with concern.
“What can happen to me? This weakling couldn’t even touch my clothes!”
Qi Huang shrugged nonchalantly, completely ignoring the water true qi that had completely disappeared from her body.
“How can you be alright? You directly entered that Xieqisan just now, and it was so potent that even a touch on the skin would have endless consequences.”
Cheng Hong Ling naturally didn’t believe her.
“You know my situation. I only have that little bit of true qi, which is of little consequence. Let it dissipate if it wants to.”
Qi Huang said indifferently. This bit of true qi was indeed like a chicken rib to her.
“But that’s still something you cultivated with great effort!”
Cheng Hong Ling showed a look of compassion on her face.
“Great effort?”
Qi Huang’s little face turned red when she heard this, because her cultivation had never been difficult, it had always been casual. She had put a lot of effort into growing vegetables, though.
“No, this Xieqisan poison must be expelled, otherwise you won’t be able to cultivate at all in the future.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression, however, was extremely serious.
“Ay! If I can’t cultivate, then I can’t cultivate. It saves trouble. You should worry about yourself. You also inhaled Xieqisan.”
Qi Huang said helplessly. She really couldn’t ask for anything more.
“Whether it’s mine or yours, it must be expelled. But before that, can you return the Blue Scale Sword to me first? What do you mean by putting it into the storage ring right after killing someone? Are you trying to double-cross me?”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly extended her fair jade-like hand to ask for it.
“Ah? Is that your sword?”
Qi Huang asked in disbelief. She thought she had used her own sword just now, so she just put it away casually.
“Shameless bitch! I never thought I would have a Life Soul like you.”
From within the storage ring, Tian Chongpo cursed contemptuously, and her eardrums were still bleeding at this time.
