"You... impudent boy..."
Shi Daolin was extrely embarrassed; he had never imagined that this minor Spirit Martial Realm martial artist could hold on for so long against him. Originally, he thought he could suppress the girl by simply flipping his fingers, but unexpectedly he was unable to take her down after a long ti.
Moreover, he seed to have indeed said if the other party could withstand three moves, he would sever his own ridians—a boastful claim that he could not believe was coming back to haunt him so swiftly.
In front of many elders and disciples, he couldn't lose face at that mont.
After a long pause, he finally gritted his teeth and said with an iron-blue face, "Hmph, I just said that if that Dao Palace Realm warrior could withstand three moves from , I would sever my ridians, but that doesn't include you, girl!"
This shalessness made Zhou Xi and others feel totally embarrassed, even the remaining elders and disciples of the Thunderous Holy Land covered their faces with their hands, feeling humiliated: "So shaless, utterly disgraceful!"
And it was at this mont that Qin Xiaoyu suddenly made a swipe with one hand, a golden blade streaking through the void; yet, it veered away from Shi Daolin and headed straight for Chen Wu.
There was boundless rage and hatred in her move, the grudge of her father's death gave her the strength to use all the power in her body.
The blade was dazzling, shining like countless stars across the sky. Dao Magic surged forth and instantly engulfed Chen Wu.
"Ah—"
Chen Wu let out a mournful scream, followed by his body shattering, blood scattered across the sky, and he died on the spot with his path extinguished.
As it turned out, Qin Xiaoyu was rely distracting Shi Daolin deliberately; her actual goal was to kill Chen Wu.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?"
The fierce battle between Qin Xiaoyu and Shi Daolin had already left the martial artists agape and in disbelief, but now seeing her take Chen Wu's life unexpectedly under Shi Daolin's protection, they were even more astonished, at a loss for words, as tumultuous waves churned in their hearts.
"Damn, where is this girl from? How can she be so ferocious?"
At this ti, Shi Daolin finally beca thoroughly enraged.
"Ah—"
"You audacious girl, you dare to kill my disciple!"
He roared in fury, and with his hands, he conjured a Jade Ruyi, its glow resplendent, with myriad auspicious colors. It was a King-level battle weapon, obtained by him from a secret realm in the past.
This Jade Ruyi had imnse power and seed invincible, but it ca with a significant side effect: every ti it was used, one had to sacrifice a part of their spirit. Eventually, if it was used too much, one's spirit would be completely enslaved by the Ruyi.
Therefore, he had always been reluctant to use it, but now, Qin Xiaoyu had completely disturbed his mind and taken advantage of the situation to suppress Chen Wu, causing him to lose all rationale. Disregarding the consequences, he summoned the Jade Ruyi, frantically sacrificing his spirit to harness the might of the magical treasure.
Mana infused into the Jade Ruyi.
At the sa ti, with a "boom," the aura emanating from Shi Daolin's body suddenly began to soar.
"Sect Leader, is this a breakthrough?"
"The Sect Leader has broken through!"
At this critical mont, fueled by rage and soul sacrifice, Shi Daolin actually made a breakthrough, successfully entering the interdiate stage of the Life Spring Realm.
In that instant, the sky changed color, clouds were shattered by the Dao, and with the Life Spring Realm's interdiate stage, coupled with the fully activated King-level battle weapon, a strong oppressive force flooded the firmant, making everyone feel as if their hearts were fiercely struck.
"You damn girl, I want you... dead!"
Shi Daolin's rage hit the skies, flas shot from his eyes as he spoke, word by word.
But in the next mont, suddenly, a shadow no larger than a palm flashed by, slicing across his chest.
In the next instant, he felt a wrenching pain in the area of his heart, and then he saw a fist-sized hole in his chest, his heart pulverized into fragnts without him knowing when it happened.
"How can this... How is this possible..."
After Shi Daolin said those words, he plunged headfirst, falling onto the rough stones and passing away on the spot.
It was Red Luan who had made a move.
Although Qin Xiaoyu was strong, she was not as monstrously powerful as Qinchuan. She could survive against an early Life Spring Realm powerhouse, but against an interdiate Life Spring Realm who had gone mad, she certainly was no match. Therefore, Red Luan had struck imdiately to subdue the opponent.
As Red Luan took action, from the spread of her wings to Shi Daolin's fall, all this happened in the blink of an eye.
By the ti everyone reacted, Shi Daolin had already breathed his last.
"What—"
"The Sect Leader is dead!"
One of the elders was the first to co to his senses, exclaiming in panic and confusion.
"The Sect Leader is dead! Run for your lives!"
Qin Xiaoyu was also gasping for air at this ti, her chest heaving irregularly, her mind flashing with countless thoughts.
There were the few mories of her father that remained in her mory, and many more about the life she and Qinchuan had shared.
As a child, she grew up under the protection of her brother. Her mories of her father were extrely vague. When she was very young and didn't understand, she naively thought that her father didn't want her or her brother anymore.
Back then, she would even chase after Qinchuan and ask, "Brother, brother, why hasn't father co back? Does father not like Xiaoyu?"
Later, as she grew a little older, she learned that her father, facing the crisis of their clan, had ventured alone into the world's most dangerous secret realms. And with that departure, he never returned.
As ti went by, her longing and worry for her father grew deeper and deeper.
But she never imagined that what she would wait for in the end was the news of her father's death.
Back then, she made a decision that defied her age—she wanted to kill Chen Wu herself, avenge her father's death!
Now, she had succeeded. Chen Wu was slain by her finger, his True Spirit dissipating.
Unconsciously, two clear teardrops slid down from the corners of her eyes.
"Father, do you see it? Xiaoyu has avenged you."
...
Qinchuan had already received the ssage from the Spirit Butterfly, knowing everything that had transpired within the Thunderous Holy Land.
After Qin Xiaoyu had dispatched Shi Daolin and Chen Wu, she did not trouble the people of the Thunderous Holy Land any further. Instead, she forced them to hand over the many possessions Chen Wu had taken from Qin Zhan, then spared them all.
"Ah, after all, she's still a twelve-year-old child, still sowhat kind-hearted," Qinchuan sighed deeply, knowing that Qin Xiaoyu would one day take this step, just sooner than he had anticipated.
He continued to listen, and his expression beca increasingly strange.
"This Xiaoyu, really..." Qinchuan shook his head and muttered: "Well then, since she's already fully committed to this path, it's better to let her go and gain experience sooner."
Turns out, the final ssage from the Spirit Butterfly ntioned Qin Xiaoyu deciding to start venturing through the Divine Wilderness Continent, choosing not to return to Tianqing City for the ti being, and asking Qinchuan not to worry.
Since Zhou Xi and Red Luan were by her side, Qinchuan wasn't too worried, but he did not expect Qin Xiaoyu to be so resolute.
At this mont, Qinchuan and Ji Huo'er had already been waiting for quite half an hour at the foot of Thousand Fox Mountain, yet Ling Xian'er and the others had not returned.
This made Qinchuan feel sowhat strange because when he opened his Innate Pupils, he distinctly sensed that this misty and dense Thousand Fox Mountain, brimming with Immortal Qi, emanated a peculiar and unusual air.
Beneath this serenity, a faint naless danger lurked.
"Huo'er, has anything significant happened on Fox Mountain recently?" Qinchuan asked, furrowing his brows.
