With that collision, the protruding sharp stone would surely pierce his chest, and he would inevitably die on the spot.
Mo Qi was also determined to kill him, as he had killed several brothers from Xiao Gushan last time. Blood debts must be paid with blood.
Chen Xuemu was greatly alarmed. At first, he thought that only the Soul Suppressing Technique could restrain him, and he had undergone some targeted training over the years.
However, to his surprise, in this confrontation, he was still at an absolute disadvantage, with no power to fight back, and the opponent's methods of dealing with him seemed far from exhausted.
Chen Xuemu was somewhat annoyed, but this was not the time for annoyance.
He had to survive this ordeal before he could talk about venting his anger later.
Chen Xuemu immediately drew two arcs in the air.
Trying to escape?
Mo Qi sneered, activated his telekinetic power, and threw out. Chen Xuemu's body immediately turned, flying in another direction, and crashing heavily onto the ground again.
Before he could catch his breath, an invisible arrow of energy struck silently, aiming straight for his heart. He only managed to slightly shift his position, and the arrow grazed his heart, piercing through his chest.
Chen Xuemu cried out in pain, rolling on the ground, completely defenseless.
Mo Qi felt the time was right. He summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, and a golden sword light erupted, striking towards Chen Xuemu!
A golden light enveloped Chen Xuemu, who widened his eyes, unable to dodge. He could only watch as the sentence of death was passed.
At this moment, the ground suddenly flashed with light, and a frame appeared out of nowhere, enclosing Chen Xuemu within it.
After the light faded, Chen Xuemu's figure vanished into thin air.
With a booming sound, a wide and deep chasm appeared on the ground, stretching for a very long distance.
Escaped again?
Mo Qi was somewhat annoyed that he had let him get away.
However, he knew very well that he had been completely unable to use spatial techniques at that time, and the spatial technique he used to escape was cast by someone else. This meant he had reinforcements.
"Who dares to be so audacious as to kill people in my Qingxuan Sect?" a voice roared.
Immediately after, two figures appeared out of thin air. One was the still shaken Chen Xuemu, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a loose-sleeved robe, with killing intent radiating from his brows.
This person was Chen Xuemu's master, Pang Zhengjiang.
Before Mo Qi could even reply, Pang Zhengjiang had already made his move.
He made two false strokes in the air with his right hand, and a non-physical frame appeared out of nowhere, enclosing Mo Qi. Mo Qi was shocked and quickly brought his hands together, slashing through the air. With a "swish," the non-physical frame shattered and then disintegrated, like an iron cage being cut open, with a deafening collapse.
Mo Qi hastily moved his body to prevent the non-physical frame from closing again and trapping him within it.
Pang Zhengjiang uttered a sound of surprise, feeling somewhat taken aback.
His spatial technique could trap cultivators of lower cultivation levels, leaving them with no choice but to await death.
Only those with higher cultivation could break through from the center.
Today was an exception!
To think that a cultivator with lower cultivation than himself could break through from the center.
As Pang Zhengjiang was about to make another move, Linghu Xiaoxian quickly said, "Stop! There seems to be some misunderstanding here. We are from the Sun Moon Sect, and we are here to support you."
Shifting the focus when unable to win, Mo Qi secretly admired the girl's composure.
Pang Zhengjiang paused for a moment, but he still made his move, drawing a few more strokes in the air.
Because he felt that such a person, if not killed, would be too terrifying to remain in the world!
I am ridding the world of a menace.
Mo Qi preemptively dodged, but the air suddenly trembled, creating ripples. His body was violently folded at the waist!
If this fold were successful, his body would surely be broken, and he would be finished.
In a moment of inspiration, Mo Qi hastily activated the Golden Light Shrinking Ground Technique, his body suddenly transforming into a speck of starlight, slipping away from the point of fracture.
At the same time, his body moved rapidly, expanding as he weaved through the air. Red light overflowed from his sides, surging outwards and extending infinitely. It then swept horizontally, interweaving like teeth, instantly lashing towards the position where Pang Zhengjiang and Chen Xuemu stood.
Amidst a series of crackling explosions, dust and stones flew, and smoke billowed.
The area where Pang Zhengjiang and Chen Xuemu stood, along with their surroundings, was engulfed in a sea of red light, where all things were annihilated!
However, Mo Qi clearly saw that before the red light raged, Chen Xuemu and Pang Zhengjiang had once again vanished into thin air.
Simultaneously, Mo Qi's body involuntarily floated up, as if the space he occupied had detached from other spaces and was drifting away.
Mo Qi stopped channeling the Phoenix Fire Dance divine ability and was preparing to break the barrier again with his Pangu divine power.
Suddenly, lightning surged within the barrier, striking him from all six directions – up, down, left, right, front, and back. The dazzling electric light was like whips, whipping his body. From the outside, his body was enveloped in a layer of brilliant light.
The sounds of thunderous explosions were incessant!
Seeing that he was about to die, Linghu Xiaoxian was filled with grief and indignation. She fiercely struck out with her Golden Cudgel, aiming to shatter the barrier.
However, the barrier moved out of thin air, drifting to another direction.
She pointed her hand, and the Golden Cudgel followed like a shadow, pursuing it again.
However, the barrier vanished into thin air.
The Golden Cudgel returned to her hand.
Linghu Xiaoxian knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, overcome with grief.
It was her own wilfulness that had brought Mo Qi to the brink of death. If she hadn't acted first, Mo Qi wouldn't have injured Chen Xuemu, and his master wouldn't have come to his rescue, and he wouldn't have killed Mo Qi.
However, how could she know that even if she hadn't acted then, Mo Qi would have attacked anyway.
Through her tear-blurred vision, the barrier reappeared in the sky!
However, Mo Qi, now within the barrier, was suspended horizontally in mid-air, the electric light still swirling around him.
His body remained motionless, as if all signs of life had ceased.
Linghu Xiaoxian was enraged and fiercely struck Pang Zhengjiang with her Golden Cudgel!
At this moment, Pang Zhengjiang was laughing wildly, "Under my Seven Absolutes Fiery Thunder Array, no one has ever survived. Be annihilated into ashes!"
Seeing Linghu Xiaoxian's Golden Cudgel strike towards Pang Zhengjiang, who was fully focused on dealing with Mo Qi and had no time to disengage, Chen Xuemu stepped forward to intercept.
He drew a line in the void, causing the air to ripple. Linghu Xiaoxian's Golden Cudgel suddenly changed direction, flying away in the opposite direction.
Linghu Xiaoxian hastily pointed her hand, trying to recall the Golden Cudgel.
Chen Xuemu, feeling playful, chuckled and made another stroke in the air. Just as the Golden Cudgel was about to return, it suddenly changed direction again, running off into the distance.
Linghu Xiaoxian was furious to the point of exploding!
She wished she could die on the spot!
Chen Xuemu laughed heartily, a look of utter disdain on his face.
Meanwhile, Pang Zhengjiang, after a bout of wild laughter, began to sense that something was amiss.
Under normal circumstances, after enduring his Seven Absolutes Fiery Thunder for so long, Mo Qi should have been reduced to ashes, or at least be charred inside and out!
But at this moment, Mo Qi within the barrier was not only not scorched black but his complexion was becoming increasingly ruddy.
Just as Pang Zhengjiang was filled with bewilderment, Mo Qi, who had been lying flat, suddenly sat up. He formed a hand seal in front of his chest, seemingly still cultivating!
Pang Zhengjiang finally realized what was happening. Judging by the posture, Mo Qi was using his Seven Absolutes Fiery Thunder to cultivate his lightning divine abilities!
Pang Zhengjiang was not convinced. "Let's see how capable you are. Trying to borrow strength to strike back and absorb my divine abilities with such a low cultivation level, aren't you courting death?"
So he let out a long cry to the heavens, his hair scattering and flying in the wind.
He bit his finger, formed a hand seal, and pointed. A thread of blood slowly flowed out, extending infinitely, and instantly flowed onto the four walls of the barrier. The barrier flashed instantly, becoming almost tangible, and the outlines of the six "walls" – up, down, left, right, front, and back – became clear.
The six walls, originally colorless, now shone brightly, becoming radiant. They were covered in lightning, sparkling like dense, layered spiderwebs plastered onto the six walls.
From the outside, it looked like a shimmering, radiant cube!
Only occasionally could Mo Qi's figure be faintly seen through the gaps in the spiderwebs.
Linghu Xiaoxian was filled with shame and anger. She couldn't see Mo Qi's changes within the barrier. Only occasionally, when she glanced over, she saw the nearly burnt-through barrier, heard the deafening explosions, and felt the madness of this master and disciple. She was on the verge of collapse.
Her life for the past few decades had been spent growing up under the care of her elders. She had always been arrogant and overbearing, never looking down on anyone.
Even Pang Qing, she had never truly accepted him, only deciding to give it a try because her standards were too high and she hadn't found anyone suitable.
As for Mo Qi, he had forcefully entered her heart!
It was like a flood that came and went; what you remembered was not the flood, but the pool of mud left on the ground!
Yet, it was precisely that pool of mud that made one unforgettable.
But then another flood came, intending to wash away that mud...
Linghu Xiaoxian, on the verge of collapse, disregarded the Golden Cudgel. She formed a hand seal with her left hand and pushed forward with her right, unleashing "Radiant Butterfly Dance"!
Five-colored radiant light emerged from her hand, like five-colored petals arranged in a circle, spinning in the air, and surging outwards. They stirred up a monstrous hurricane in the air, accompanied by the sound of thunder. The momentum of the thunderous strike was as if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers had descended.
With incessant rumbling sounds, like rolling chariot wheels, it crushed towards Chen Xuemu.
Chen Xuemu's expression changed slightly. He drew a line in the air, causing the air to ripple.
Space abruptly folded, tearing apart the five-colored petals. Some petals drifted into the distance, while another petal of red radiance still pierced through space, striking towards Chen Xuemu.
Chen Xuemu was greatly alarmed. He pushed his hand forward in the void, and his body drifted sideways, as if moving into another space.
The red radiance missed entirely, striking the ground with a boom, kicking up a cloud of mud and sand.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi, within the barrier, remained clear-headed.
He had initially planned to repeat his previous move to break the barrier, but later discovered the opponent's heavenly thunder divine ability and changed his decision on the spot!
He had previously heard Cang Shan mention that fire divine abilities were divided into Blazing Fire, Fiery Fire, True Fire, Spirit Fire, Heavenly Fire, Sacred Fire, and Primordial Fire. He had gained some insight and returned to the Heavenly Steps Academy to consult relevant ancient texts. He discovered that lightning divine abilities were also divided into Trembling Thunder, Wind Thunder, Fire Thunder, Fiery Thunder, Heavenly Thunder, Sacred Thunder, and Primordial Thunder.
After investigation, his lightning divine ability was at the Fiery Thunder stage, hence his desire to improve his lightning divine abilities.
