My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 861

Chapter 861: Territory Power Can Level Up

 

“Qingfeng, I’m going to kill you,” Xiao Gu’s face gloomed and he threatened aggressively.

He took a step forward and smashed a nearby boulder immediately, using only his fierce gaze.

“Stop yelling, come and fight with me,” Qingfeng sneered arrogantly.

Qingfeng certainly wasn’t scared of Xiao Gu since he had reached the final stage of the grandmaster realm.

Xiao Gu could no longer hold his anger induced by Qingfeng’s provocation. He had his dignity as a senior of the Sword Pavilion.

Neooooooooowh~

Xiao Gu took out his sword. It was a long red sword that had the same color as Qingfeng’s Inferno Sword, which resulted from the fire refinement.

This was a well-known sword named the Fire-Fish Sword in the martial arts world. It was named like that since a glowing red carp was marked on the sword.

A fierce aura shot out from the sword that pierced more than ten meters through the air.

Spiritual Device? This Fire-Fish Sword was actually a spiritual device?! Regular sword wouldn’t be able to carry any sword intent, only a spiritual sword can.

Qingfeng’s calm expression finally changed as he didn’t expect Xiao Gu would actually bring a spiritual device that wasn’t lame at all.

Qingfeng could tell the Fire-Fish Sword was a upper-class spiritual device which shared the same level as his own Inferno Sword.

Certainly, the level of Xiao Gu’s spiritual device just remained at the level equivalent to the Inferno Sword after breaking its first seal. The Inferno Sword could definitely slay Xiao Gu once it unlocks the second or the third seal.

Yet, the Dark Night Emperor told Qingfeng two things. First of all, Qingfeng wasn’t strong enough to provide enough vital essence for that. Secondly, other people would snatch his infernal Sword once it reaches a high level. Therefore, Qingfeng didn’t unlock the seal yet.

The Sword Pavilion was indeed worthy of being classified as a super-class force, they even had upper-grade spiritual devices. It blew everybody’s mind.

“Who do you think would win in this battle, Xiao Gu or Qingfeng?

“Are you dumb? Xiao Gu, of course. He is going to kick Qingfeng’s ass.”

“I think so, too. Xiao Gu is the third elder in the Sword Pavilion. Let say Qingfeng is a badass mercenary, but how could he even reach the level of the Sword Pavilion?”

The crowd burst into discussions and most of them were confident that Xiao Gu would win. Although Qingfeng had gotten more popular recently and was well-known in the Martial Arts World, nobody thought that he was going to win since the Sword Pavilion was way too powerful.

Qingfeng, how dare you mess around with Xiao Gu. You’ll definitely die this time. Ao Hei looked at Qingfeng with a gloomy face filled with intense grudges.

“Miss, do you think Xiao Gu will kill Qingfeng?” A teenage novice from the Fiery Emperor Palace asked Xianzhi Qin.

He asked since he knew she had a slightly special relationship with Qingfeng.

Xianzhi didn’t respond, yet the elder beside her answered at him, “What a stupid question, you really think Qingfeng could beat Xiao Gu?”

“Senior elder, you might be wrong. Qingfeng might really win,” Xianzhi said with a slightly discontent look while glancing at the senior elder.

This senior elder had been attempting to cooperate with other forces in the Fiery Emperor Palace to steal the authority from Xianzhi’s father ever since he got injured.

Xianzhi certainly knew why he didn’t like Qingfeng since Qingfeng had refined the life prolonging elixir and extended an extra month of life for the Fiery Emperor Palace Master.

If the Fiery Emperor Palace Master passes away, there would be two people that had the highest likelihood to become the Palace Master. They would be either the Palace’s Vice Master or the Senior Elder.

Senior Elder blinked his eyes and didn’t reply back as he still didn’t think Qingfeng could win.

“Saintess, Qingfeng will definitely die this time for getting in trouble with Xiao Gu,” the Green-dress fairy whispered while staring in the distance.

Flower Fairy smiled, “Greenie, I’ve told you so many times not to jump to a conclusion easily like this. Qingfeng isn’t an ordinary guy, Xiao Gu might even not be able to kill him.”
.
The crew from the Vampire Sect was also anticipating for this battle. They had been holding grudges against Qingfeng since he slayed everyone from the Crimson Blood Sect.

They had been covering their attempt to kill Qingfeng since they planned to give him an unexpected attack at the end. Yet, seeing that Xiao Gu actually vow to slay him right now, they couldn’t get any more excited.

Xiao Gu walked up to Qingfeng aggressively with his Fire-Fish Sword.

“Fire-Fish Sword Technique,” Xiao Gu rumbled as he waved out his sword. The sword transformed into a essence fire fish that rushed towards Qingfeng.

Not all masters could allow their vital essence to take form as it was extremely difficult. However, it carried tremendous attack power in itself.

Qingfeng, though, didn’t even move nor take the attack from Xiao Gu seriously.

Not until the flaming fire fish arrived near him, Qingfeng immediately waved out his sword with a sky splitting momentum. The sword carried an robust power that split the fire fish into halves and made it vanish in the air.

Xiao Gu freaked out when he saw his fire fish was sliced apart.

“Qingfeng Li, I didn’t expect you also had an upper-class spiritual device,” Xiao Gu said viciously while twitching his lips.

As a senior elder in the Sword Pavilion, Xiao Gu certainly had an idea about how powerful an upper-class spiritual device was. One of the swords would get smashed if it collided against the one that has been transformed.

Qingfeng smiled as he didn’t try to deny nor explain anything. He wouldn’t tell Xiao Gu that his Infernal Sword was actually a heavenly spiritual Device instead of a mere upper-class spiritual device.

As Xiao Gu knew that the attack from the sword transformation wasn’t strong enough, he decided to release his own territory to trap Qingfeng’s attack first.

All masters from the Grandmaster Realm had comprehended the power of territories, yet, the power does vary. The more formidable the master was, the more powerful their comprehensive power was.

A territory realm’s power from one that reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm would definitely exceed the ones from the earlier stages of the Grandmaster Realm, unless one’s nature countered the other.

Territories’ level could advance. Xiao Gu knew that he belonged to the Fire Realm like Qingfeng since both of them practiced Fire Vital essence. Yet, he believed he must beat Qingfeng since his strength exceeded that of Qingfeng over one realm.

“Inferno Realm,” Xiao Gu sneered while releasing his Inferno Realm immediately.

Infernal flames covered everything within a few thousands of miles. 150 flame essence orbs were burning hot, as if they could devour everything.

Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. Undoubtedly, Xiao Gu had released a more powerful Inferno Realm since he lived for a lot longer, so he also accumulated more vital essence inside his body.

Qingfeng knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat Xiao Gu if he also released his Inferno Realm since he only had a 100 flame essence orbs. Considering they shared the same realm power, Qingfeng had to fight with his morale and vital essence.

Qingfeng definitely had less vital essence at his disposal than Xiao Gu.

However, besides the Inferno Realm, Qingfeng also controlled the Gravity Realm and the Storm Realm.

The Storm Realm benefits the Inferno Realm the most since wind can intensify fire.

Chapter 862: The Flaw Within the Hundred Illusionary Swords

 

“Storm Realm, Hundred Wind-Edge.” Qingfeng groaned as he released the Storm Realm.

A hundred wind-edges were formed by Storm Realm as a severe tornado appeared and started blowing the blaze of the infernal realm.

Rumble~

The blaze was blown further away and actually headed towards Xiao Gu.

Everyone was shook when they saw this scene. They immediately thought that Qingfeng was clever to return the attack of Xiao Gu’s blaze by using the force of wind generated by the Storm Realm.

Xiao Gu freaked out and withdrew his Inferno Realm. Otherwise, he would have burned himself.

“You…You actually comprehended the Storm Realm?” Xiao Gu started to stutter with surprise.

As the senior in the Sword Pavilion and even the 15th ranked master of the Grandmaster list, Xiao Gu had only learned one realm. He was indeed surprised that Qingfeng actually could comprehend more than one.

Out of the other realms, the one Qingfeng comprehended coincidentally was a counter to the Inferno realm, which was something Xiao Gu didn’t expect at all.

It was extremely challenging to comprehend a territory power since it requires a great amount of potential, comprehension ability as well as spirits and will power etc. It isn’t something you can get as long as you wanted it.

“Saintess, Qingfeng hadn’t comprehended the Storm Realm before he went on board the ship. How come he is using it now?” The green-dressed girl couldn’t believe her eyes.

Flower Fairy replied with shock on her face, “He comprehended it by himself by just observing the Storm on the deck. What a peerless genius.”

Peerless genius?

The Green-dress girl shocked once she heard it. She knew Flower Fairy barely complimented anyone, possibly never calling anyone else a “genius”.

“Show me all that you got,” Qingfeng smiled.

Xiao Gu was hesitating since Qingfeng also had a spiritual device and the Inferno Realm he released was countered by Qingfeng’s Storm Realm. Now, his only advantage was his martial art techniques.

“Fire-Fish Sword, Hundred Illusionary Swords,” Xiao Gu roared while releasing the Hundred Illusionary Swords, the most powerful technique of the Fire-Fish Sword.

Conforming to what it sounded like, the Hundred Illusionary Swords technique would create a hundred swords, preventing you from being able to tell which one was the real one.

Qingfeng frowned while looking at a hundred red swords floating in front of him. He could have told which sword would be the real one if his opponent wasn’t strong enough, However, Xiao Gu was a master that had reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm. Qingfeng did have a hard time to distinguish among the swords.

“Buddy, the 49th one is the real one, the others are fake,” Dark Night Emperor whispered in Qingfeng’s mind.

A great spiritual power was required to distinguish among the swords. Dark Night Emperor could tell them apart right away since he was a spiritual spirit himself and could detect Xiao Gu’s flaws.

Qingfeng was feeling pleased as he flipped out his Red Fiery Sword. A glow of red light transformed from the sword headed towards Xiao Gu’s 49th sword shadow.

Boom!

The collisions of the Red-Fiery Sword and the Fire-Fish Sword made huge noises that dispersed the sword force around and finally revealed the real sword’s appearance.

Xiao Gu was shook. He was intrinsically shocked by the fact that Qingfeng actually distinguished the real Sword in such a short amount of time.

The powerful spiritual energy technique that Xiao Gu had practiced for decades was so easily foiled by Qingfeng.

While Xiao Gu was still in shock, Qingfeng dashed forward and swung his sword towards Xiao Gu’s body like a flash of lightning.

Xiao Gu suddenly freaked out when he felt the force of his sword. He didn’t have time to resist as he continued stepping backwards.

Puchi~ *

Qingfeng’s sword was extremely fast, and it left a deep cut on Xiao Gu’s shoulder. Blood was gushing out.

“Asshole, how dare you cut me?” Xiao Gu yelled with anger in his eyes.

It had been a long time since Xiao Gu was injured. It was, in fact, his first time being injured by someone who had less power than him. He felt so humiliated.

“What? Xiao Gu was injured?”

“How is that possible? Xiao Gu is the 15th master on the Grandmaster Realm List who also owns a heavenly spiritual device though. How could he get injured?”

“Am I seeing it right? How did it happen?”

“You saw clearly, Xiao Gu was indeed injured. We all underestimated Qingfeng Li. That guy is terrifying.”

The crowd burst into discussion. Everyone was staring at Qingfeng with a complicated gaze.

They felt embarrassed since Qingfeng, whom they assured would be slayed by Xiao Gu, actually injured Xiao Gu.

Besides them, the Elder Senior from the Fiery Emperor Palace, the folks from the Vampire Sect, and Ao Hei from the Black Blade Sect were all feeling frustrated at the moment since their hope of Xiao Gu killing Qingfeng was gone now.

“Is this all that the 15th ranked master on the Grandmaster Realm List can offer? How weak.” Qingfeng waved his hand with disdain.

Did I, a senior from the Sword Pavilion, just get looked down upon? Xiao Gu was completely pissed off.

“Hundred Illusionary Swords, slay,” Xiao Gu aggressively transformed his vital essence into another hundred swords and attacked towards Qingfeng.

Each of them carried powerful sword energy and looked identical and real.

Other people would definitely fail to tell them apart tet, Qingfeng, as someone who had the Dark Night Emperor to provide help, was scared of nothing and could distinguish the real sword immediately.

“The 38th is the real one, the others are fake,” Dark Night Emperor whispered again.

While listening to the voice from the Dark Night Emperor in his mind, Qingfeng chopped down on the 38th sword directly and despelled that attack instantly.

Instead of shock, Xiao Gu was completely astonished this time. If Qingfeng identified the sword the first time by luck, he wouldn’t be able to use that luck for the second time. Was this the power of his Spiritual Device?

This young dude was at at most in his early 20s, how could he have such a powerful spiritual strength? Xiao Gu couldn’t find the answer.

No matter how many times Xiao Gu attacked with his Hundred Illusionary Swords, they were always distinguished by Qingfeng effortlessly.

Although the Hundred Illusionary Swords was powerful, it did cost a great amount of spiritual power and vital essence. Xiao Gu was now feeling slightly light-headed since he had consumed too much energy.

When Qingfeng broke Xiao Gu’s attack the second time, he rushed right by his side like an aggressive tiger and cut towards his body with the Red Fiery Sword.

The vigorous energy from the Red Fiery Sword moved as rapidly as flash. Xiao Gu freaked out and tried to hide away, yet he only his head and neck managed to completely avoid the sword while his shoulders were not as fast. He had been slowed due to the lack of vital essence in his body.

Puchi~

Xiao Gu’s left arm was chopped off Qingfeng and blood sprayed out.

Chapter 863: Everyone Fighting for Spiritual Device

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Xiao Gu let out a painful cry as he held his broken arm in pain. The piercing sound of his cry travelled far and people all around heard it.

“Qingfeng Li’s really strong! He even broke Xiao Gu’s arm.”

“Yeah, Xiao Gu is ranked number fifteen on the Grandmasters list. He’s also the third Elder of the Sword Pavilion. I can’t believe he was defeated by Qingfeng Li.”

“I think Qingfeng Li’s really powerful. He’d probably make it into top ten of the Grandmasters list.”

Everyone began talking, their faces stunned.

They were already surprised when Qingfeng Li injured Xiao Gu. Now that Qingfeng Li severed Xiao Gu’s arm, they were beyond surprised, they were shocked.

With Qingfeng Li’s every attack, they were more and more stunned.

At the sight of Xiao Gu’s severed arm, Ao Hei’s face turned pale and his eyes were full of fright. It was him who instigated Xiao Gu to kill Qingfeng Li just a moment ago. Now that he saw Qingfeng Li’s powers, he regretted his actions.

Just then, Qingfeng Li turned his head to look at Ao Hei, sending the latter into shivers, almost collapsing to the ground.

Ao Hei was truly horrified. If Qingfeng Li had the ability to break the arm of such a powerful man like Xiao Gu, what was he going to do to a snitch?

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!!!!

At the sight of Xiao Gu’s injuries, the other four members from the Sword Pavilion instantly rushed over and surrounded Qingfeng Li.

These four people from the Sword Pavilion were no ordinary people. They were all extremely powerful, all belonging to the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm and were similar in abilities to Qingfeng Li.

Seeing the four people surround Qingfeng Li, Yoshiko Sato, the members of the Wolf Fang team, and the two Demon Kings prepared to help.

“No need, they’re just four weaklings.” Qingfeng Li waved his hand to signal for Yoshiko Sato and the others not to interfere.

Yoshiko Sato and the others halted at Qingfeng Li’s request. They were confident in Qingfeng Li’s abilities.

These four men may have been frighteningly powerful to others, but they posed no threat to Qingfeng Li.

“Kid, you dare to injure our Sword Pavilion Elder, we’re definitely killing you today.” The four men raged at Qingfeng Li. They whipped out their swords and pointed them towards Qingfeng Li.

“Stop talking and fight me if you have the guts.” Qingfeng Li laughed coldly, without a trace of care in his voice.

If the four men had been at the peak stage of the Grandmasters Realm, Qingfeng Li might have weighed his chances but they were only in the late-stage of the Grandmasters Realm, the same realm as him. Naturally he didn’t worry because he was invincible in the same realm.

“Attack.” The four men from the Sword Pavilion all raised their swords and charged at Qingfeng Li. Their swords exuded a fierce sword light, tearing through the air.

The four men were not Elders of the Sword Pavilion so they didn’t possess spiritual devices. Instead, they were all using high-level weapons of the Grandmasters level. These swords weren’t capable of emitting sword intent, just sword light.

Although the two words appear to be similar, they are very different in terms of strength. The power of a sword light was much smaller than that of sword intent.

“Red Fiery Silver Moon.” Qingfeng Li roared in a deep voice, directly using the fourth attack of his Red Fiery Sword techniques. The sword became a circular flaming moon and ruthlessly slashed towards the four men.

The silver moon flame embodied a huge gush of energy, more powerful than ever. Its powers grew after Qingfeng Li reached the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm.

Bang bang bang bang!!!!

The opposing four swords were all struck by the silver moon flame, exploding at the sound of a bang.

The four men felt an incredible energy pushing them backwards, forcing them to continuously retreat.

One move by Qingfeng was able to repel the four masters of the Sword Pavilion.

Silence.

At this moment, everyone around had stopped talking, all entering into a state of complete silence.

These men were no ordinary ancient martial artists, they were in the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm but they were still defeated by one strike of Qingfeng Li’s sword. Everyone was stunned. They all watched Qingfeng Li with shock in their eyes.

“Saintess, Qingfeng Li’s too powerful. He’s definitely going to be your opponent during the fight for the Heavenly spiritual device,” said the girl in the green dress.

At first, the girl in the green dress had looked down on Qingfeng Li. She didn’t expect him to be this powerful, to the point where even first-class powers like the Sword Pavilion posed him no threat.

Her warning for the Flower Fairy was also in consideration for the Hundred Flower Palace.

This time, the Flower Fairy fell into a long period of silence. She then said lightly, “Little Greenie, I’m afraid that we have yet to see his true powers.”

“Saintess, you mean that Qingfeng Li can be even more powerful than this?” the girl in the green dress was truly shocked this time.

If the Saintess was right, just how powerful was Qingfeng Li? Little Green couldn’t help but shiver at the thought.

Xiao Gu and the four members from the Sword Pavilion all grimaced at the other’s voices. This time they were completely humiliated. None of them even came close to Qingfeng Li.

Boom!

Just as Xiao Gu and the rest prepared to continue their attack, the green sword at the top of the mountain suddenly released a deafening sound. The body of the sword began trembling, its sword energy rushing towards the sky, piercing through the atmosphere.

A thousand-meter-long ray of sword energy crossed the sky, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky.

“The Heavenly spiritual device is about to appear, everyone hurry.” Ao Hei shouted, rushing towards the mountaintop.

Not wanting to be left behind, the members of the Vampire Sect also followed, in large strides towards the mountaintop.

“Qingfeng Li, once I retrieve the Heavenly Device, I’m going to kill you in one strike.” Xiao Gu said pale-faced, holding his severed arm. He then headed for the mountaintop along with the other four Sword Pavilion members.

It was clear to Xiao Gu that, with his current powers, he wasn’t a match for Qingfeng Li. His only chance to kill Qingfeng Li was to grab the Heavenly spiritual device.

All at once, everyone headed up towards the mountaintop, howling, competing for the Heavenly spiritual device.

Only two forces were left behind. One was Qingfeng Li and the Wolf Fang team, the other was the Flower Fairy and the Hundred Flower Palace. Xianzhi Qin, who had previously wanted to stay behind, was also forced up to the mountaintop by her Elder.

“Boss, it’s the Heavenly spiritual device! Why are we not going up there?” Daoist asked with furrowed brows.

“I have a feeling there’s going to be great danger, we should wait a bit.” Qingfeng Li said lightly.

He wasn’t sure why, but Qingfeng Li felt a great sense of danger coming from the mountain, despite its harmless appearance.

Somewhere, Qingfeng Li felt a certain something hidden within the mountain, giving him great fear.

Yes, fear. At Qingfeng Li’s level, what can scare him was very few in number.

Qingfeng Li glanced towards the Flower Fairy and saw that she had also stayed behind, remaining in her place, as if in hesitation and worry. This gave Qingfeng Li even more confidence in his decision to stay behind.

Sure enough, just as Qingfeng Li had guessed, as soon as the people arrived at the mountaintop, trying to grab the Heavenly spiritual device, a large black hand came for them from below.

The black palm was enormous. It was materialized from vital essence and was a full three meters in size. It grabbed an ancient martial artist and tore his body apart, as the martial artist screamed in agony.

Chapter 864: The Restrained Devil Under the Mountain

 

The hand appeared directly from underground. With no time to react, the first ancient martialist was scratched to pieces, suffering a miserable death.

Bang bang bang bang……

The black hand was a total embodiment of vital essence, forming an incredible power. As soon as it caught a martialist, it crushed them to pieces. All of the surrounding martialists were helpless.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten ancient martialists had died by the large black hand

“Ah, it’s the devil, hurry up and run!” All of the martialists screamed in terror.

They’ve never seen such a large and frightening hand. It was indeed too powerful, horrifying everyone, shaking them to their cores.

Roar!

A loud roar travelled down from the mountaintop accompanied by huge energy waves. Suddenly, a black devilish energy surged into the air, like mushroom clouds, shrouding the entire sky.

The devilish energy formed a gigantic black cover, trapping all of the people at the mountaintop, stopping them from escaping. Some ancient martialists ran towards the cover but bounced back inwards. It was impossible to escape.

The large black hand reached out from the ground once more, killing the martialists relentlessly.

Some ancient martialists tried to resist, unwilling to surrender. But their attacks had no effect on the large hand. They didn’t even make a scratch. It was clear to them that they were too weak, and that the large hand was too strong.

“Boss, you really are psychic, fortunately we didn’t go up. If we were trapped inside that energy cover, we would definitely die.” Daoist said, his face horrified by the afterthought.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said, “The Heavenly spiritual device is incredibly powerful. Legends say that only self-cultivators have the ability to use it. Think about it, this Dark Island is named one of the ten most deadly islands of the Pacific. If it only contained regular spiritual devices, how could it have gotten its name?

In fact, Qingfeng Li had conducted rigorous research about the Dark Island before his journey. In his findings, not only did ordinary people disappear on the island, but powerful ancient martialists disappeared as well. Some very powerful ancient martialists never made it back alive.

It was then, that Qingfeng Li learned about the horrors of the Dark Island.

Sure enough, he was right to worry. He had only just arrived at the island and already he had encountered many evolved beasts. Beasts like the man-faced spider of the Grandmasters realm, the black tiger of the Grandmasters realm, the black eagle of the Grandmasters realm and many more.

It was clear to Qingfeng Li, however, that this was only the surface of the Dark Island. Normal peak-staged masters of the Grandmasters realm were powerful enough to kill these evolved monsters. How did the previous Grandmasters all disappear if there wasn’t something even more powerful hidden on the island?

Qingfeng Li had guessed correctly. Indeed, the more powerful being was hidden within the land underneath the mountaintop.

“Saintess, thank god I listened to you and didn’t go up. I would have been in grave danger otherwise.” Little Greenie patted her chest for comfort.

The large black hand frightened Little Greenie to her core. Luckily the members of the Hundred Flower Palace didn’t go up.

The Flower Fairy smiled lightly, not saying a word, looking over to Qingfeng Li. She didn’t head up the mountain because she was aware of the dangers. They didn’t call the Dark Island one of the ten most deadly islands in the Pacific for nothing. But how did Qingfeng Li know?

As if sensing her gaze, Qingfeng Li glanced over to her as well. Their eyes met in a fleeting moment, both looking away in the next second.

“Daoist, you guys stay here and wait for me. I’m going to the mountaintop. Qingfeng Li looked up towards the mountaintop with a meaningful gaze.

“Boss, you can’t go up. It’s too terrifying up there. The black hand is too powerful.” Daoist immediately shouted.

Qingfeng Li waved his hand to indicate for Daoist to stop talking. He then turned his body and headed towards the mountaintop.

The Flower Fairy looked surprised at his words, she said, “Qingfeng Li, the black hand is extremely powerful. It has the energy of a self-cultivator. If you go up you will die.”

“How do you know that the black hand belongs to a self-cultivator?” Qingfeng Li asked.

No one knew of the black hand’s identity, including Qingfeng Li himself. How did the Flower Fairy know?

The Flower Fairy gave him a beautiful smile. She said, “How I know isn’t important. I’m telling you, a person of the Grandmasters realm will surely die. I’m telling you this for your own sake. Don’t go up.”

“Thank you for your good intentions, but I must head up there.”

“Why are you so stubborn? Why do you have to go up?”

“Because I need to save someone.” Qingfeng Li left this explanation and rushed towards the mountaintop without looking back.

Obviously Qingfeng Li knew of the black hand’s incredible powers, but Xianzhi Qin was at the mountaintop and he had to save her.

Previously on the boat, it was Xianzhi Qin who told Qingfeng Li about the Dark Island. She even gave him a map. He wasn’t about to forget her kindness towards him.

Moreover, Xiaozhi Qin was also a good friend of Qingfeng Li. He definitely needed to save his friend.

Qingfeng Li arrived at the mountaintop in lightning speed.

“Such powerful devilish energy.” Qingfeng Li felt the devilish energy more potently at the mountaintop. The energy embodied great powers. Similar to a forcefield, but more advanced.

“Qingfeng Li, don’t come in, once you are in you can’t get out.” Xianzhi Qin screamed out when she saw Qingfeng Li at the mountaintop.

“It’s alright, I’m coming up to save you.” Qingfeng Li said, smiled lightly.

Save me?

Xianzhi Qin was stunned, her face in disbelief. She never once thought Qingfeng Li would come up to the mountaintop to save her. She was very moved.

Shoo!

Qingfeng Li pulled out his long sword, slashing towards the black devilish energy. It, however, bounced backwards from the powerful force of energy released by the black devilish hand.

At the sight of this, Qingfeng Li stared blankly at his sword. The devilish energy is indeed powerful. How do I save Xianzhi Qin if I can’t even get in?

“Kid, this devilish energy is incredibly strong. If I am not mistaken, there is a self-cultivator Devil underneath this mountain. You better leave immediately.” Feeling the immensely powerful devilish energy, the Dark Night Emperor voiced out his warnings through the Red Fiery Sword.

Oh? How did I forget about the Dark Night Emperor? He’s been to the Little World and they have self-cultivators there. He definitely knows the solution.

“Senior, my friend is in there, I have to get out.”

“Kid, the self-cultivator Devil was restrained underneath the mountaintop. Once he gets out, everyone’s going to die. I am currently in just a spiritual body, my powers are limited. You need to quickly get out of here.”

“Senior, please I beg of you to help me. I have to save Xianzhi Qin.” Qingfeng Li pleaded towards the Dark Night Emperor.

Chapter 865: Saving Xianzhi Qin

 

Qingfeng Li’s pleas towards the Dark Night Emperor sent the latter into silence.

“Kid, the self-cultivated Devil is seriously powerful. If I had my previous powers maybe I could fight it. Now that my physical body is destroyed, my powers have decreased by a lot. I am no longer its match.” The Dark Night Emperor said.

He was moved by Qingfeng Li’s sincere request. But the Dark Night Emperor wasn’t strong enough to fulfill the young man’s wish.

“Senior, I’m not asking for you to fight the Devil, I am only asking you to save Xianzhi Qin, which should be much easier.” Qingfeng Li thought out loud.

Qingfeng Li wasn’t stupid. Clearly the Devil was incredibly powerful. The Emperor was just a spiritual body currently and was no match for it.

“If it’s only getting Xianzhi Qin out, it might be possible, but it is also risky.”

“It’s alright, I will handle all the consequences.”

“In that case, I will open the devilish energy veil for you. My spiritual powers are limited, you may only save one.” The Dark Night Emperor nodded in agreement to Qingfeng Li’s suggestion.

The Dark Night Emperor recited a chant. He released a green light upon the devilish energy veil, piercing a large hole through the dome-like structure. Qingfeng Li walked straight through the hole and entered into the shroud of devilish energy.

The hole wasn’t very big, only two people could get through it, not a single more.

Qingfeng Li entered inside. He rushed towards Xianzhi Qin, arriving beside her instantly.

“Qingfeng Li, how did you make it in?” Xianzhi Qin asked, looking at Qingfeng Li dumbfoundedly.

“Miss Qin, I have my ways. Let’s get out of here.” Qingfeng Li said, smiling lightly.

Xianzhi Qin was delighted, her eyes were filled with gratitude. This mountaintop was too incredibly frightening. So many of the ancient martialists had already been killed by the big black hand. They were all caught by the hand and ripped into pieces.

“Miss, please take us out too.” The Senior Elder suddenly yelled out.

Upon hearing this, Xianzhi Qin looked towards Qingfeng Li with a hint of hope in her eyes. Although she didn’t really like the Senior Elder, him and the other members of the Fiery Emperor Palace were all elite masters, they were the pillar of the Fiery Emperor Palace. If they died there, the Fiery Emperor Palace would suffer a tremendous loss.

“Miss Qin, I am very sorry, but I can only save one person at most.” Qingfeng Li said. He wasn’t lying to Xianzhi Qin, because the Dark Night Emperor was only a spiritual body and was only able to create two holes in the devilish energy dome.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Senior Elder and the other disciples of the Fiery Emperor Palace all looked terrified. If this was the case, they were truly done.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li had come into the forcefield, the other ancient martialists were all attentive to Qingfeng Li’s movements. They were actually hoping for him break the devilish energy veil to release them.

It appears Qingfeng Li could only save Xianzhi Qin. He couldn’t save any of the other people.

“Hahaha, Qingfeng Li, since you’re in here, don’t expect to get out alive.” Xiao Gu laughed loudly, his expression twisted.

It was clear to Xiao Gu, Qingfeng Li was only in there to save Xianzhi Qin. He wasn’t planning to save the rest. So, might as well kill Qingfeng Li at the mountaintop while he had the chance.

“Right, since we cannot live, let’s all attack and kill Qingfeng Li.” Black Bride also shouted. He also hated Qingfeng Li, wanting to kill the latter every chance he got.

Back when they were at the bottom of the mountain, Ao Hei had instigated Xiao Gu to kill Qingfeng Li. He didn’t realize just how powerful Qingfeng Li was until the latter broke Xiao Gu’s arm.

Now that they were at the mountaintop, where everyone was facing death, Ao Hei wanted a scapegoat, and Qingfeng Li was his target.

“Ao Hei is right. Since we cannot leave this forcefield, why not kill Qingfeng Li together? Why should he be allowed to leave unscathed?” The head of the Vampire Sect also shouted, his voice deadly.

Youngzi Blood was a genius of the Vampire Sect, highly valued by the Mastery. They had spent a lot of energy and a lot of resources in his training. He was killed, however, by Qingfeng Li at the Elixir King’s Tomb and the people of the Vampire Sect have hated Qingfeng Li ever since.

Suddenly, all of the people from the Sword Pavilion, the Black Blade Sect, the Vampire Sect, and the others had surrounded him, all wanting him dead.

.

Since they were all going to die anyway, killing their enemy before their deaths seemed like a good idea.

Looking at the dense population of enemies in front of him, Qingfeng Li frowned..

These people were all masters on the Grandmasters list, and they were in large numbers. They were all from different powerful forces and they all wanted him dead.

Qingfeng Li’s face grimaced to the max. He just wanted to save Xianzhi Qin, he didn’t expect to fight so many enemies who wanted him dead.

Qingfeng Li still had his last resort, his bloodline power. Maybe he could defeat these people if he used it, but the subsequent sequelae from using his bloodline powers would leave him vulnerable to the deadly attacks of the Devil, he would ultimately die anyways.

Xianzhi Qin stood by Qingfeng Li’s side, also looking distressed. Obviously she didn’t expect for this to happen either.

A knife could have cut the tight tension between Qingfeng Li and the rest. A bloodbath of a battle was going to begin at any moment.

“Mmm, so much delicious blood.” Suddenly a bizarre voice came from under the mountaintop.

The sound was incredibly eerie and the words were even more bone-chilling, leaving everyone ice-cold. In its eyes, all of these ancient martialists were merely delicious blood.

Ka-boom!

The mountaintop shook violently, with rocks rolling down to the ground, the earth’s crust cracked like a turtle’s shell. The infinite amount of cracks and crevices spreaded in all directions, making the ground look like a spider web.

A majestic, middle-aged man with disheveled hair crawled out from the bottom ruins of the mountaintop. His legs were bounded by a thick black iron chain that was connect to the bottom of the mountaintop, limiting his movements.

Although his legs were bound, the middle-aged man was still incredibly powerful. A light pat of his hand resulted in the death of an ancient martialist. The body was mushed into a flesh puddle, deader than dead. The body turned into a drop of essence blood, directly absorbed by the middle-aged man.

Qingfeng Li’s body contained dragon’s blood. The middle-aged man was especially sensitive to blood from incredible powers. He noticed Qingfeng Li right away.

“I like your blood. Go die.” The middle-aged man struck out his palm, turning it into a large black hand and ruthlessly pounded onto Qingfeng Li’s body.

Bang!

Qingfeng Li didn’t have the energy to counter. The black hand had struck him, sending his body flying. His body hit the devilish energy veil hard and Qingfeng Li spewed out a huge gush of blood.

The Conqueror’s Badge fell down his body, hitting the ground in front of him.

“How… the Conqueror’s Badge?” Looking at the Conqueror’s Badge on the ground, the Self-cultivated Devil was in shock.
