Chapter 172: Chapter 109: Lihuo Refining Golden Cicada_2
"Make a breach and help her break out!" Qin Ming told him, holding more than one miracle technique in his hands.
Xiang Yiwu said, "I only need the Lihuo Scripture. Let me take a look. If there’s a chance, I will make a move. If not, don’t blame me."
He quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Qin Ming suspected that the Golden Cicada Technique practiced by this man could be part of the Tathagata power or Yuqing Power, and now he was expanding the Scripture.
Yuqing Power, Heaven Supporting Strength, Ru Lai power never ceased, known to be continuously improved and enhanced. The content on the piece of paper of true transmission was not unchangeable.
"If Xiang Yiwu truly is a descendant of such ancient Taoist lineage, he should not fear Outer Disciples in the first two major realms."
Qin Ming himself was in a precarious situation as the Golden Armor Guards were pressing in from a distance, tightening the encirclement.
"Why resort to such actions? We can sit down and talk..."
Soon, Qin Ming stopped talking because he lacked the power to deter; people besieging him saw his Heavenly Light couldn’t be projected outward and wanted to capture him.
Most importantly, there were organizers among them, a few were Death Soldiers. He had to kill this small group of people to resolve the crisis.
"Since some yearn for death, I shall grant it to them!" Qin Ming was also enraged.
The battle erupted again!
...
Meanwhile, the outside world was abuzz with discussions that Li Qingyue might obtain a Close Immortal Item.
The Nightly News was making comments, praising her, even creating momentum for her.
Meng Xinghai felt a weight on his heart; he understood the implications. The more vigorously hyped it was, the more likely something could go wrong; Li Qingyue might be "taken care of."
"Does someone want to take Qing Yue out of the game and simultaneously make a profit on the betting market?"
Earlier, Meng Xinghai was still elated by Qin Ming’s battle achievements, as if savoring fine wine, but now he felt that both of them could be in danger.
...
Qin Ming was injured. Among the Five Core Disciples’ Golden Armor Guards, there indeed were experts, their projection of Heavenly Light Force was astonishing, like fierce flames burning, or the scorching sun shining.
His blood churned, and blood spilled from his mouth, as his opponent suppressed him with a higher realm.
"Tan Yu!" Qin Ming recognized the man.
When he was in Luofu Immortal Town, people had mentioned him, coming from Luoyue City, rumored to have fused more than ten types of Heavenly Light Force during his rebirth phase.
"The discussed Outer Saint is indeed very dangerous!" Qin Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, not only was Tan Yu attacking, others were also besieging him, and Qin Ming’s Big Spear had been knocked to the ground.
Tan Yu felt that something was off; he was stronger than the average Outer Saint and aimed to crush the Newcomer with a higher realm. But his palm ended up bleeding from a puncture.
Qin Ming took a deep breath, not reaching for the Big Spear on the ground or drawing his blade; the many Heavenly Light Techniques he learned appeared one by one in his mind’s sea.
He was proficient with blades, spears, arrows, hammers, and spears, even more skilled in Heavenly Light Technique, not inferior to the person who left behind the Secret Book.
Qin Ming activated Wind Power, his feet seemed to touch no ground, skimming over the grass, and struck sideways at Tan Yu.
In the moment of nearing impact, from being as light as the wind, he exploded like thunder, assailing his opponent with Hammering Force, making the bamboo forest roar with dreadful thunder.
Tan Yu sneered, intending to suppress with a higher realm, believing in the adage that brute force could overcome any technique.
Moreover, another expert not weaker than him followed up; others also made their moves, wanting to quickly take down this peculiar Newcomer.
Qin Ming instantly changed his trajectory, grazing past Tan Yu’s fist that shone like a mini sun, using his palm with Coiling Silk Strength to touch the opponent’s arm, and with a sudden pull, caused the opponent to stagger.
Of course, Qin Ming himself wasn’t having an easy time either because the opponent’s Protective Heavenly Light was too intense. When he broke through, he was continuously battered.
With a bang, as Tan Yu stumbled, Qin Ming threw a high sweeping kick, employing whip power, smashing towards the opponent’s head.
Tan Yu dodged to the side, avoiding a blow to the head, but his shoulder felt as if it had been struck by an iron whip, leaving his body increasingly unstable.
Others joined the attack, and Qin Ming’s body manifested strands of golden thread, a sign of the Golden Silkworm Power at work, as he managed to withstand the kicks and punches from four assailants, continuing his fierce struggle with Tan Yu.
Of course, he avoided the terrifying palm strike from the one whose strength was similar to Tan Yu’s—a dangerous individual with an overwhelming Heavenly Light Force.
Qin Ming’s Coiling Silk Strength and Sticky Force clung to Tan Yu, making him terribly uncomfortable, as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to exert his mighty power effectively.
Moments later, Tan Yu grunted in pain— a large chunk of flesh from his palm had been torn off by the Sticky Force.
Moreover, the protective gear on his face was inexplicably lifted, and with a loud bang, his face was hit by a punch infused with Heavenly Light, leaving half of it a bloody, mangled mess.
Qin Ming himself was pale, his hands dripping blood. While surrounded by assailants, he focused his attacks solely on Tan Yu, inevitably paying a steep price himself.
His golden armor was already partially shattered because the Body Protection Runes had been triggered once—an absolute sign this was a battle to the death.
After half an hour, Qin Ming drew his blade, stabbing the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade into Tan Yu’s armor, which had also had its Body Protection Runes activated and dimmed.
"You..." Tan Yu was horrified, but already too weak to struggle, dying quickly with a thrust through his chest.
Qin Ming, swaying on his feet, turned around. After a prolonged confrontation, many enemies had triggered their armor’s Runes, which had all gone dark.
He let out a mighty roar and charged into the fray.
Eventually, he beheaded the expert whose strength rivaled Tan Yu’s. With the two strongest opponents dead, the others, lacking real organization and Death Soldiers, turned to flee, no longer fighting desperately.
Qin Ming’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. Dragging his weary, wounded body, he pursued the attackers, his blade drawing blood with each strike—until silence reigned once more. The enemies were either dead or had fled, and Qin Ming heavily exhaled before seating himself on the ground.
His armor was shattered, his body covered in blood. Another deadly blow would certainly have been fatal.
The gold armor on the dead men had also triggered their Runes.
"Has the battle in the distance not ended yet?" Qin Ming gazed towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
"Brother, hurry!" Xiang Yiwu soon came running frantically, saying, "It was a slaughter, Core Disciples nearly died!"
"Where’s Li Qingyue?" Qin Ming asked.
Xiang Yiwu replied hastily, "She’s gravely injured. She used a Secret Technique and almost managed to get two Core Disciples out, making the others hesitate to approach her."
"I’m asking where she is, how is she, did you take action?" Qin Ming pressed urgently.
"I couldn’t intervene in time. Those people had gone berserk, all employing Fangwai Forbidden Techniques. Six vibrant lights merged together in a struggle of Consciousness Spiritual Light, all-out mutual destruction. If my physical body had stormed in, I would have been torn apart by their collective Spirit Light," Xiang Yiwu admitted with shame.
He quickly added, "Don’t worry, Li Qingyue got away, and she even successfully broke through in the end. The remaining few, wary of her and believing she’s too injured to dispute over the Close Immortal Item, didn’t pursue."
Qin Ming immediately got up and chased in the direction indicated.
At the same time, he guessed that Li Qingyue might head for the Dense Land of vitality they had passed earlier, where she had once mentioned that her Ancestor Master had made some arrangements a thousand years ago.
...
Indeed, Qin Ming found traces of Li Qingyue’s blood in the Dense Land of vitality and called out her name softly.
"I’m here." Li Qingyue was very weak, her Divine Sense allowing her to notice Qin Ming approaching.
"Qing Yue, how are you doing?" Qin Ming hurried over to support her arm.
"It’s bad. If another Core Disciple appears, we’re both dead," Li Qingyue spoke faintly, leaning against a large tree.
Her silver armor was already shattered, and she was smeared with blood.
"Tathagata’s abandoned disciple, stay away from here. Come back after half a day," Li Qingyue addressed Xiang Yiwu in the distance.
"Don’t misunderstand, I’ll leave immediately. I’ll come back after half a day to exchange Miracle Techniques with Brother Lee," Xiang Yiwu decisively left.
Li Qingyue, pale and hauntingly delicate in her frailty, sent him a silent message: "Search this area carefully, there might be a special ’Mountain and River Spirit Nest,’ discovered and arranged by my Ancestor Master. If it’s still here, it can help us heal, or even make further advancements."
