Chapter 1 Silence

Silence!
A deathly silence.

Before the Xia Yi Gate, on the open ground stretching for dozens of miles, only the whistling of the unceasing airflow could be heard, not the slightest sound.

No one could have imagined that this disciple of the Six Hells Demon Lord, the Six Hells Holy Son who had successively killed many masters who had been famous for decades, would be so easily defeated with a single palm strike.

For a time, even many experts on the Earthly Ranking lost their voices, their minds greatly shaken.

They had practiced martial arts for many years, their Qi meridians were condensed, and their eyesight was naturally good.

The knife that Feng Qingxuan unleashed was exquisite to the extreme in terms of angle, true Qi, momentum, and intent. If it were any of them facing this knife, they would only have the option of retreating.

Retreat, then dodge, and wait for an opportunity by moving around to have a glimmer of victory.

How terrifying would the power needed to directly break through the continuous river of knife light need to be? Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

"That palm..."

Yun Haitian's eyes narrowed.

Only a few people present could see what happened at that moment, and he was naturally one of them.

He knew clearly that the Blood Demon An Qisheng, the second on the Earthly Ranking, had only stepped down, and the surrounding dozens of feet had already been reduced to ruins. It was that step, the invisible Qi force stirred up by pure physical power, that disrupted Feng Qingxuan's aura.

And then that palm, seemingly without any subtlety, actually encompassed everything and contained an extremely strong will.

Under that palm, the airflow in the void seemed to be expelled all at once, creating a complete void.

That was how it was able to break into Feng Qingxuan's interwoven knife net that had no flaws.

Such power was no longer something that Qi meridians could possess.

Even if he went all out, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to achieve this effect.

And more importantly, his physique was so strong to the point of being inhuman that he could actually smash the sharp knife light.

Only by moving his body with his palm could he cross dozens of feet of continuous knife net and severely injure Feng Qingxuan with one palm.

Even he couldn't do this.

The Demon Blade Cut is a very famous method of breaking Qi in the world. If he were to do this, he would probably be pierced through his true Qi and be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"Heh~ heh~"

In the dust, Feng Qingxuan looked up at the sky, large mouthfuls of blood rolling into his trachea.

His heart was filled with infinite unwillingness.

He cultivated the Battle Demon Heart Sutra, Demon Blade Cut, Demon Realm Intermittence, and other supreme divine arts of the Six Hells Demon Sect, and was hailed as the number one genius of the contemporary Holy Sect.

He had been in seclusion for many years, and it was the time for a dragon to rise from the abyss. He was about to ascend to the Divine Meridian, his martial arts would be greatly accomplished, and his name would shake the world.

How could he be so strong?

How could he be so strong?

Feng Qingxuan's heart was full of unwillingness. His Qi meridians were extremely powerful, and it was impossible for any Qi meridian martial artist to break his Qi meridian network. This was what his master, Pang Wanyang, had personally said.

But that old Daoist only used one palm to shatter his Qi meridians, true Qi, and the bones, organs, and internal organs of his whole body.

This is Qi meridians?!!!

"Pfft!"

Endless unwillingness finally subsided. His already collapsed chest collapsed further, and his last breath sprayed out of his throat, scattering blood rain in the dust-filled sky.

The vigorous vitality of the Qi meridian great accomplishment, in the '哗啦啦' (hua la la) falling earth and stone dust, returned to complete silence.

Until the moment of his death, he couldn't even utter half a word.

"Feng Qingxuan..."

Looking at the few feet of ruins not far away that had sunk three feet in unison, Wu Shuang's body trembled, her heart icy cold.

She had envisioned the scene after Feng Qingxuan's death countless times, but she never expected that she wouldn't have a trace of excitement or joy after his death.

Instead, it was all bone-chillingly cold.

Because, from beginning to end, there was a strong and stern aura that had locked onto her tightly.

This killing intent was so strong, it was as if she was plunged into the sea and surrounded by seawater, making her unable to breathe.

No, after the Qi meridians are condensed, even if you fall into the deep sea, there is absolutely no possibility of suffocation.

But at this moment, she really felt suffocated.

It was as if an invisible hand of fear was firmly grasping her body and mind together.

"Sen... Senior..."

Wu Shuang's flawless face became even whiter, and her delicate forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Under An Qisheng's gaze, she felt a tremor.

Just like facing those few Divine Meridian experts in the sect.

She didn't dare to escape. The distance of a hundred feet was no different from face-to-face in front of such an existence. The only possibility of escaping was to die faster.

At this time, her heart was full of regret.

"The Soul奪魂大法 (Duó Hún Dàfǎ - Soul Seizing Great Art) is used quite well."

In the breeze, An Qisheng spoke lightly, his eyes without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"Senior knows, this junior didn't know that Hero Yun had an old relationship with you..."

Wu Shuang turned her face slightly, her veil flew away with the wind, revealing her beautiful and flawless face:

"This junior is willing to undo this Soul奪魂大法 (Duó Hún Dàfǎ - Soul Seizing Great Art) for Hero Yun..."

The surrounding breaths stagnated.

A group of martial artists looked at that exquisite face, and only felt their hearts go numb.

There are some people who will make people unconsciously soften their hearts even when they are fighting to the death.

This person is Wu Shuang.

Her face is delicate, her features are all beautiful, and every frown and smile is captivating.

At this time, she was sobbing, which was most likely to arouse a man's desire to protect her.

Whether it is a teenager or an old man.

Feeling the killing intent that was receding like a tide, Wu Shuang had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a calm voice ringing in her ears:

"No need."

What?

Wu Shuang's heart trembled. She raised her eyebrows and looked over, and saw that the old Daoist took a step forward and flicked his five fingers lightly in the void.

Buzz~

As his five fingers flicked, visible ripples spread out.

At that moment, the void in front of him seemed to be pinched in that palm.

Then, amidst the whistling wind, An Qisheng had crossed a hundred feet, pulling out a giant dragon of Qi waves mixed with rolling dirt and dust behind him.

"Except for me, no one can undo the Soul奪魂大法 (Duó Hún Dàfǎ - Soul Seizing Great Art)!"

Wu Shuang let out a soft whistle, and at the same time, her slender jade arm brushed against her waist. In the red clothes, a long sword sprang out like a dragon, waving out a sky full of sword shadows.

Retreat!

Violently retreat!

Having witnessed Feng Qingxuan's miserable appearance, she had absolutely no intention of confronting him head-on.

But the wind was whistling, and it arrived in an instant. The rolling wind had already blown up her red sleeves.

Zheng zheng zheng~~~

The short sword whispered, flashing and disappearing amidst the rolling wind. It seemed to be just a moment, and the void in front of her was filled with sword shadows.

At this moment, she had no intention of hiding anything.

True Qi diffused out, crisscrossing like thousands of invisible Qi swords in the layers of air currents.

Under the rain of sword light, Wu Shuang's figure shifted and transformed, pulling out trails of afterimages.

Her speed was not slow, and in an instant, she had retreated a hundred feet. In the void a hundred feet in front of her, it was full of sword lights and sword shadows.

Like a forest and a prison!

But the next moment, her pupils shrank.

The old Daoist had already crossed over with the force of thunder and explosion. His speed was so fast that it seemed to leave a string of phantom figures behind him.

He only saw him push his arm horizontally, and the endless air waves burst apart, penetrating a hundred feet of sword shadows like a forest.

The air currents outside his body were whistling, like a storm, like the sea beating against the shore. The sword shadows that were enough to cut gold and break jade were blown away by the exploding air waves before they even touched his body.

Then, the crystal-clear, jade-like palm, containing extremely terrifying power, had already struck down from top to bottom, heavily.

Boom!

A palm strike, like an ancient god elephant swinging its arm, and like a majestic mountain shifting over. Dozens of feet away, the raging air waves had already let out a shrill roar, as if the space had been shattered by this palm.

Fierce to the point of being a mess!

This palm strike was enough to knock down a city wall, let alone a mortal body!

Under the violent surging air currents, Wu Shuang's flawless face was blown distorted.

"Ah!"

Under the extremely terrifying killing intent, she let out a long whistle, and her body actually turned from extreme retreat to extreme advance in an instant!

The sword light on a short sword was a foot long, like a spear, directly stabbing towards An Qisheng's horizontally striking palm.

At the same time, her left hand brushed behind her again, and when it came out again, it was already holding a goose egg-sized scarlet golden egg.

"Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needle!"

In front of the Xia Yi Gate, Yun Haitian's body swayed, his true Qi surged, and his voice transmission pierced through the layers of air currents like an arrow:

"Old brother, be careful!"

But even if he urged his true Qi to transmit his voice in secret, how could it be faster than Wu Shuang pressing the hidden weapon.

"Die!"

Wu Shuang bit her silver teeth and had already pressed the Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needle in her hand.

The Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needle is a real killer weapon.

Even someone as strong as Yun Haitian would be seriously injured if he took a hit!

The old Daoist was rushing over with such speed, it was impossible for him to avoid the Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needle at such a distance!

And unlike the Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needle she gave to Yun Dongliu, the one in her hand was far superior in quality and power, and it was also quenched with Scarlet Chain poison!

Once hit, even the Qi meridians would die in the first moment!

Crack~

The golden egg cracked, and the silver light instantly burst out.

Thousands of silver needles burst out with dazzling light in an instant, like a lotus blooming between the two.

咻咻咻咻 (xiū xiū xiū xiū)~~~

Countless Qi breaking sounds resounded through the sky, enveloping An Qisheng in the discolored eyes of the many onlookers in the martial world.

Dang~

At the moment when the hidden weapon erupted, the short sword in Wu Shuang's palm had been completely broken under that palm.

But she gritted her teeth and didn't unload her strength at all, and took all the strength, spurting blood while flying out dozens of feet, and was about to escape.

The group of martial arts figures changed their colors, but at this time, it was absolutely too late to pursue!

Suck!

But at this moment, a huge inhalation sounded in the field.

What?

Wu Shuang, who had not yet fallen from the sky, suddenly felt a sense of trepidation and could not help but spur her true Qi and look back.

She only saw that under the sky full of silver light, the old Daoist suddenly made a seemingly long, but extremely short, inhalation sound.

That inhalation took less than one-tenth of a finger snap, but the effect it produced was extremely terrifying.

The air currents within a dozen feet around seemed to be like a substantial stream of water, hitting him extremely hard.

Forcibly blowing the sky full of Scarlet Chain Qi Breaking Needles!

Under the sky full of silver light, An Qisheng took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth and spat it out.

The condensation of the five internal organs and meridians not only greatly increased his Qi and blood, and broke through the original limit of his physique, but also allowed his five internal organs to undergo incredible transformations!

Yes, transformation!

For example, breathing out like thunder!

Boom!

The loud noise cleared the sky!

The air flow that had been compressed to the limit burst open at the moment it was spit out by An Qisheng.

It was like a twelve-level hurricane being confined to a few feet of land, and then exploding.

As Wu Shuang's face changed drastically.

The sky full of silver needles was actually blown back, flying back at a faster speed than it was shot out.

"No!"

In a scream of unwillingness and sadness.

Thousands of silver needles broke through the air in an instant, penetrated Wu Shuang's spurting true Qi, and entered her body.

The next scene was a sight that made everyone who saw this scene's scalp tingle.

I saw that in the whistling air flow, the red skirt's graceful body seemed to suddenly start to melt!

Flesh, muscles, bones, internal organs, fur!

All are melting!

Before landing, that infinitely beautiful body, as if created by nature, turned into a pool of stinky yellow-green liquid!

Pupu pu~

The liquid landed, and the grass and trees within ten feet withered in an instant, and the land was dissolving, all sinking several feet, leaving a deep pit of more than ten feet in diameter!

And, the nauseating stench that doesn't dissipate in the wind!
