Chapter 75: Where Did This Heavenly Punishment Realm Master Come From? (2)
This spiritual sense was extremely powerful, descending from the heavens like immortal might, even compressing space into distortion. Even more miraculously, its target was only the group from the Cao family. Except for the two leaders on the Cao family’s side, everyone else was a cultivator below the Shentong Realm. Under the suppression of such powerful spiritual sense, they were all unable to even blink, as if they had turned into dozens of corpses, falling downwards like meteors.
Falling from a height of hundreds of zhang, the speed was astonishing. Coupled with the suppression of spiritual sense, these cultivators ignited due to the friction with the air. Many turned to ashes before even touching the ground, while those who managed to land were instantly shattered into pieces by the immense impact. Their souls were crushed by the terrifying spiritual sense as soon as they emerged from their bodies.
As for the two leaders of the Cao family, although their cultivation levels had both reached the late Shentong Realm, they could not maintain their stance under this powerful spiritual sense, staggering and falling downwards.
The women of the Hua Rong Sect all let out a sigh of relief. They knew that they had just narrowly escaped death, and if not for this powerful spiritual sense, they would likely have been annihilated this time.
How is this possible? Where did this Heavenly Punishment Realm master come from?
Wu Hua, who was usually arrogant and overbearing, revealed a look of terror. He had seen such powerful spiritual sense that could distort space, something only a Heavenly Punishment Realm expert could achieve.
Could it be the Grand Elder of the Hua Rong Sect?
Steward Leng guessed instinctively, as after all, only Hua Man in the entire Hua Rong Sect had reached the Heavenly Punishment Realm. Unfortunately, his guess was wrong. At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the field!
This person was tall with a mask, wearing a light green robe. Judging by the slightly thick waist and the slight heaving of the chest, it was undoubtedly a “muscle man.”
The women of the Hua Rong Sect breathed a collective sigh of relief. They had just narrowly escaped death. If not for the sudden appearance of this master, they would probably be drinking Meng Po’s soup by now.
“May I ask, senior, what is your name? We have no past grievances, so please be merciful. This junior will reward you generously.”
Steward Leng begged while trying to maintain his posture.
“Hmph! Such impolite juniors! Don’t you know you need to introduce yourself before asking for someone’s identity?”
The mysterious Heavenly Punishment Realm master snorted in a hoarse voice, then added, “Tell me, who are you people? If you are friends of my enemies, I might be lenient! I’m just passing by, and I simply can’t stand seeing you bully a group of women, so I intervened!”
Upon hearing this, the women of the Hua Rong Sect, whose nerves had just relaxed, tensed up again. They immediately tightened their formation, protecting the Saintess in the center.
However, Cheng Hong Ling in the palanquin showed no change in expression, because this “muscle man” was Qi Huang. Her chest was heaving slightly because it was too large to bind, not because of any muscles. Her waist was “sturdy” because she had wrapped several layers of gauze around it to conceal her slender waist.
Steward Leng’s mind raced. If he chose to remain silent, he would surely die. Lying also carried a great risk, as such a master would surely have extensive connections. Only by telling the truth might there be a slim chance of survival, considering that the Cao family was not to be trifled with in the Cultivation World.
Tell him first!
We’ll deal with the Hua Rong Sect after we get rid of this guy.
Steward Leng quickly made his decision. As for keeping secrets, what did they matter compared to his life?
Thinking of this, Steward Leng was about to speak when Wu Hua next to him took the lead.
“Hmph, you want to know my identity? Dreaming in broad daylight! I am not someone who fears death!”
Wu Hua put on a look of facing death bravely. After all, Steward Leng had already said before that they absolutely could not reveal their identities this time.
What a pig teammate!
Doesn’t know how to be flexible at all!
Steward Leng was almost angered to the point of spitting blood.
“Then, as you wish!”
With a thought from Qi Huang, a dark red sword flashed before her eyes. She had robbed it, and it was best not to use the distinctive “Cicada Wing Sword” in front of everyone.
Under the control of the Heavenly Punishment Realm spiritual sense, the dark red sword moved with terrifying speed. The surrounding air was cut open like tofu, and even space showed a faint trace. It shot towards Wu Hua’s heart like teleportation.
Wu Hua’s spiritual sense could barely track the trajectory of the sword, but his body was suppressed by the powerful spiritual sense, rendering him utterly incapable of dodging. His ring-saber could not be raised, so he could only “watch helplessly” as the opponent’s weapon shot towards his chest.
“Damn it! I’ll risk it!”
At the critical moment of life and death, Wu Hua moved his intent, and four figures who looked exactly like him appeared before him, each with a green leaf-shaped clone mark on their forehead. They held various defensive magic treasures, including shields, bells, and ancient cauldrons…
“Knowing you will die, why struggle!”
Qi Huang’s face showed a contemptuous expression.
The truth was that Qi Huang’s sword was not any high-quality magic treasure, but with the enhancement of her powerful spiritual sense, it was simply invincible and unstoppable. It pierced through Wu Hua’s four clones and their magic treasures, and then continued with undiminished power to pierce his heart. Only then did Wu Hua’s face show an expression of disbelief, and his body stiffened and fell. His Life Soul soon left his body, but because he was still within Qi Huang’s powerful spiritual sense domain, he could not escape. Qi Huang did not hesitate, gathering her spiritual sense and directly crushing Wu Hua’s Life Soul.
Steward Leng was so terrified that he lost his soul and did not dare to flee. Yuan Protector’s face also turned pale. Even though she had witnessed the Grand Elder of her sect making a move, her tall body trembled slightly under the pressure, after all, that was an opponent pressing her!
The other people from the Hua Rong Sect were even worse. Many were so scared that their spiritual senses scattered, and they needed the support of their companions to stay airborne.
“Now it’s your turn. Will you speak or die?”
Qi Huang turned her head and looked at Steward Leng.
“I’ll speak! I’ll speak! We are from the Cao Residence, and we came specifically to test the Saintess of the Hua Rong Sect to see if she has the protection of immortal might.”
Steward Leng poured out everything, his mind blank at the moment, only thinking of survival.
“Hmph! As expected, they are from the Cao family!”
Qi Huang smiled in realization. In fact, if one thought carefully, they could infer the opponent’s identity. Those who would attack the Hua Rong Sect and possessed such strength could only be the Cao family.
“They want to confirm if the Saintess has really inscribed her name on the Immortal Tablet!”
Yuan Protector quickly reacted.
“Senior, I have already confessed. Can you let me go considering the face of the Cao family!”
Steward Leng tentatively said.
“I’m sorry, if it were another force, I might be lenient. But if it’s the Cao family, I won’t let a single one go!”
Qi Huang’s smile turned cold.
“What audacity! The Cao family is the foremost power in the Cultivation World, possessing two Heavenly Punishment Realm experts, one of whom is the Vice Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance. If you kill me, you will surely die without a burial place!”
Seeing that appealing to reason was not working, Steward Leng threatened with a ferocious look.
“But the problem is that you are all dead. How will the Cao family know it was me?”
Qi Huang calmly recalled her sword, and then shot it towards Steward Leng again. Although it looked effortless, no one dared to underestimate it.
Steward Leng naturally would not sit still and wait for death. With a move of his intent, a heavy set of armor was already worn on his body. The armor was inscribed with mysterious runes and emitted a flashy golden glow in the sunlight. It was clearly not ordinary.
“Dong!”
Qi Huang’s sword fiercely collided with the armor, emitting a harsh metallic whine.
“Crack!”
Cracks appeared all over the armor on Steward Leng’s chest, but it ultimately managed to block the sword. Due to the impact, he also plummeted downwards at high speed, crashing into the mountains like a meteor.
“Boom!”
Although Steward Leng’s body was small, the immense speed contained terrifying power. The impact point instantly produced a violent explosion, with countless dust clouds rising to the sky. The surrounding two peaks collapsed, burying his body under layers of mud and rock.
The women of the Hua Rong Sect were so scared that their souls were scattered, and many collapsed to the ground. This was the first time they had witnessed a Heavenly Punishment Realm master making a move. With just spiritual sense, they could cause such terrifying destructive power. How was this different from a miniature version of “immortal might”?
Qi Huang’s spiritual sense scanned downwards, penetrating through layers of obstacles, but she could not find Wu Hua’s figure!
“Strange, where is he?”
Qi Huang muttered to herself. She was certain that he had not turned to ashes, which meant that this guy had the ability to shield his spiritual senses.
“Sister, he is in the dirt below, and he is wearing clothes woven from the fur of our Nine Nether Demonic Cat tribe.”
At this moment, Mimi suddenly spoke up to remind her. Although her intelligence was only equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child, her tone was filled with deep hatred. After all, the fur of one or two Nine Nether Demonic Cats could not be woven into clothes.
“Is that so? Likes to hide in the dirt, then you can lie there forever!”
Qi Huang sneered.
