Chapter 179: Chapter 38: The Power of Fragments of the Heavens
Zhang Xuan said, “Lady Yu, why would you say that? If I’m not Lian Huo, then who is? Could it be that in searching for the Crimson Frond, Lady Yu didn’t just send me but others as well?”
“Lian Huo was promoted by me personally, his talent is well known to me. Most importantly, having followed me for many years, he knows the rules and would not ask such questions!”
Yu Qingyu sneered, “You must be from Yunshan Hall, right? Possessing the Thousand Threads of Heavenly Mandate, indeed not simple...”
Before she finished speaking, the young woman extended her hand and made a chopping motion. Seeing that it was a feint, Zhang Xuan took a half step back, and Yu Qingyu took the opportunity to snatch the Mo Dao from his hand.
Her wrist flicked, and the saber light flowed like a river, enveloping Zhang Xuan.
Seeing her make a move, Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows rose, just about to counterattack, he realized something and stopped.
Whirl!
The fierce saber light swirled around him, like a flowing curtain, not leaving a single mark on him; it seemed that she had not intended to kill him.
“That’s not right...”
The saber light ceased, and she carefully stared at the robust man in front of her, seeing no difference from before, Yu Qingyu lost her initial confidence, “Just now, that slash must have been able to sever the Thousand Threads of Heavenly Mandate. If you were being controlled, you would definitely have come to your senses by now. Why hasn’t there been any change?”
“Controlled? Lady Yu worries too much. How could I possibly be controlled by someone!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
“The Hall Master once told me that Elder Feng Zhaoting cultivated the Thousand Threads Heavenly Mandate, which uses the spirit as threads to manipulate the soul. As long as the cultivation is inferior to the other party’s, one can be manipulated and controlled involuntarily... You looked odd just now, I thought you were being controlled...”
After tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Yu Qingyu looked over and shook her head, “However, controlled or not, with a talent stronger than mine, I cannot let you live!”
“Strong talent means death... What kind of reasoning is that?” Zhang Xuan frowned slightly.
Yu Qingyu scoffed and said, “Being stronger than me, you could gain the Hall Master’s favor and thereby obtain more rewards of heavenly fragments. These are limited in quantity; if you get them, I won’t! If you blame anyone, blame yourself for revealing your talent without sufficient strength.”
The moment she finished speaking, the young woman once again raised her Mo Dao, its cold gleam flashing, this time not just around but directly aiming for Zhang Xuan’s neck.
To strike was to kill without leaving any room for mercy.
Seeing her beautiful appearance yet ruthless attack, Zhang Xuan sighed, “I had originally intended to spare your life...”
I thought the disguise was quite good, allowing me not to engage in battle while covertly investigating the deeds of Unnecessary Hall. Now, it seems unnecessary.
Merely because of high talent and feeling threatened, to kill someone regardless of their merits or contributions, such ungratefulness justifies a death no matter how many times over.
With his index and middle finger stretched out, he lightly pinched, and the brilliant Mo Dao immediately extinguished, like a rattlesnake caught by the mouth, no matter how much it twisted, it could no longer harm anyone.
After struggling for a moment, feeling the Mo Dao in her opponent’s fingertips as if glued in place, immobile, Yu Qingyu’s face paled, realizing the truth.
“How, how can you be so strong? No, not right, you aren’t Lian Huo, nor are you controlled by the Thousand Threads Heavenly Mandate, but rather disguised...”
This overpowering force she only felt from Ling Buyang before.
The opponent’s strength was clearly far above hers, and the real Lian Huo, whom she had personally trained, would she not know?
Thousand Threads Heavenly Mandate can control others, but wouldn’t augment one’s strength.
“Now you know, but it’s already too late...”
Not bothering to say more, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger.
Yu Qingyu’s chest caved in, and she immediately flew backward, hitting the wall, as if pressed by an invisible force.
Yu Qingyu was only a Jade Bone Realm powerhouse. If her strength and the power of her destiny were greater, how could he ever win?
“After the Hall Master killed Feng Yizhou, I knew someone from Yunshan Hall would definitely come to cause trouble. I was prepared. Did you really think I was just a vase all these years?”
Seeing the bearded strong man standing still not far away, Yu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to replace Ling Buyang to take charge of Unnecessary Hall and manage countless people, she naturally had numerous lifesaving methods.
As soon as the other party arrived, she sensed something was wrong. Teaching the saber art was precisely to control him; once learned, he would be influenced by her power.
Then she played for time, made various arrangements, and finally, at this moment, everything was ready.
Four beams of saber light, along with her influence from the fragments of the heavens, could cut down even those in the Divine Soul Realm or even the Dharma Form Realm!
After all, this was her home ground with a formation to assist.
“Die!”
With a sharp shout, the Mo Dao wrapped in Heavenly Mandate Vitality sliced through the air, numbering in the hundreds. Each strike contained the essence of Mo Dao; entirely unexpected. Even a Fate Master at the Recognize Destiny Realm would be influenced by it. There was no doubt that this person in front of her was doomed...
Before her excitement had subsided, she saw the somewhat bewildered bearded man’s eyes suddenly light up, seemingly very excited. Then, all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality in the room instantly disappeared.
It was like small fish and shrimp encountering a whale—intending to disturb it, but with one opening of the mouth... their home was gone!
Ding ding ding ding!
Before her surprise ended, four crisp sounds followed, like hail hitting the roof. The incoming four beams of saber light were instantly cut down. At the same time, while the four figures were still in the air, they spat blood and fell to the ground, convulsing, clearly beyond saving.
“This...”
With her pupils constricting, Yu Qingyu felt a chill all over.
Under her saber art and formation constraints, this man not only ingested all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality in one breath and broke free from the predicament, but he also injured her four strongest subordinates in an instant. What kind of power was this?
These four were experts in the Viscera Realm, Sixfold of the Source Pool. Even if a Divine Soul Realm powerhouse was prepared, attacking them simultaneously would be very dangerous.
“Could it be... are you Elder Feng Zhaoting?”
This level of power could only possibly belong to him.
“You guess!”
With a light smile, Zhang Xuan clenched his fist and struck again.
Bang!
Yu Qingyu was sent flying again, this time not as lightly as before. Her complexion turned pale as blood spurted violently.
Her back hit the wall again, and her body was smashed flat once more.
“Someone, someone...”
Knowing she was no longer a match, the woman shouted loudly, but as her voice began to leave the room, she felt a sharp pain in her throat. The bearded guest had already approached her unnoticed, grabbing her neck and holding her up in mid-air.
“I didn’t want to kill you...”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He hadn’t intended to start a massacre without first investigating the crimes of Unnecessary Hall. But since the other party wished for death, he had no choice but to respect that wish.
“Hahaha, even if you don’t kill me, what of it? I would just become a plaything for another person...”
Knowing her death was certain, Yu Qingyu no longer resisted; instead, she let out a cold laugh, as if she had gone mad.
