Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Saving Qin Yue
Facing Elder Du’s attack, Qin Yue neither dodged nor evaded, striking out directly with her palm!
BANG!
When they collided, Elder Du remained perfectly still, while Qin Yue was forced back six consecutive steps.
"Oh? Your cultivation has broken through to the Martial Master Realm! That truly surprises ."
"No wonder you were cozying up to Ye Qingchen and planning to escape my surveillance. It turns out you were planning a secret breakthrough!"
Excitent shone in Elder Du’s aged eyes. "No wonder the young mistress told
to find an opportunity to eliminate you! With your talent, Tower Master, it wouldn’t be long before you posed a genuine threat to her."
"Of course, you won’t get that chance. Because today, you will die!"
As he spoke, Elder Du didn’t slow down. He took a single step, rushing in front of Qin Yue and thrusting his surging palm directly at her chest.
"Cloud Flip Palm!"
It was a low-rank Xuan-grade Martial Technique. When executed, it could transform Spiritual Power into a violent surge of energy like roiling clouds, possessing imnse power.
Five roiling layers of clouds appeared in Elder Du’s palm, crushing down on Qin Yue with a heart-pounding montum.
Qin Yue was horrified.
The Cloud Flip Palm is one of his trump cards! There’s no way I can block it in my current state!
Without a mont’s hesitation, she executed a swift movent technique, her body blurring into an afterimage as she rapidly retreated.
The Cloud Flip Palm struck the afterimage, exploding with a loud BOOM!
At the sa ti, Qin Yue’s figure materialized ten ters away.
Undeterred by the miss, Elder Du rely smiled. "Tsk tsk, the high-rank Xuan-grade Movent Technique Martial Skill ’Moon Shadow.’ I never expected you could learn such a high-grade skill, Tower Master. It seems the Family Head values you highly!"
As his voice fell, Elder Du stamped a foot on the ground and shot forward, unleashing another fierce Cloud Flip Palm.
Qin Yue didn’t dare et it head-on and hurriedly used the Moon Shadow Martial Skill to dodge.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of explosions echoed through the air as Elder Du’s attacks grew more vicious. He unleashed one Cloud Flip Palm after another. After more than a dozen moves, he still hadn’t landed a direct hit, but he had forced Qin Yue into a sorry state, leaving her panting for breath.
The smile on Elder Du’s face widened. The higher the grade of a Martial Technique, the more Spiritual Power it consus. By continuously dodging, she won’t be able to last much longer. She’ll soon run out of Spiritual Power, and at that point, her death is certain!
He was completely confident he could kill Qin Yue.
Likewise, Qin Yue knew that dragging this out would only beco more dangerous.
But if I run now, Ye Qingchen hasn’t gotten far enough. He’ll surely be killed! I have to stall for more ti... I have to give him enough ti!
With a swipe over her Storage Ring, a second-rank Spirit Revitalizing Pill appeared in her hand. Qin Yue swiftly swallowed it, her depleted Spiritual Power rapidly recovering.
The next mont, with a flip of her wrist, a Longsword appeared in her grasp.
SWOOSH!
As the blade’s shadow flickered, Qin Yue sought an opportunity to counterattack while evading Elder Du’s strikes.
「Hundreds of ters away.」
Ye Qingchen hid behind a large tree, chewing on the root of an Ironwood Soul Flower. He swallowed several Soul Condensing Pills in succession, frantically circulating his Cultivation Technique to attempt a breakthrough. Peering through the gaps in the weeds beside the tree, he watched the battle with a face full of anxiety.
Qin Yue, just hold on a little longer! Once I break through, I’ll co help you!
The effects of the Ironwood Soul Flower root were indeed heaven-defying. At that mont, Ye Qingchen’s aura was rising at an unprecedentedly terrifying speed.
Back at the fight, the battle grew increasingly intense.
Elder Du’s palms roiled with Spiritual Power. Wherever his palm force struck, a large tree as thick as a man’s waist would topple with a crash. His attack power was incredibly fearso.
Qin Yue dodged to the side from behind a tree.
Even with the help of the Moon Shadow Martial Skill, she had still carelessly taken a few of Elder Du’s palm strikes. Fortunately, they hadn’t hit any vital areas, so she could barely hold on.
Panting, her smooth forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, Qin Yue swallowed another Spirit Revitalizing Pill.
It’s about ti. Ye Qingchen should be far away by now, and it would be very difficult for Elder Du to catch him. There’s no need for
to keep fighting!
Having made her decision, Qin Yue didn’t wait for Elder Du’s next assault. Her figure flickered, and she fled into the distance.
"Trying to flee? Dream on!"
As if he had anticipated this, Elder Du infused his Spiritual Power into his feet. His speed explosively increased to more than double what it was before, and he rapidly closed the distance between them.
WHOOSH!
In a flash, Elder Du flipped through the air and landed directly in front of Qin Yue, blocking her path. He unleashed a vicious palm strike aid straight at her face.
Greatly shocked, Qin Yue dug her heels into the ground, carving two long grooves in the dirt as she forcefully halted her forward montum to dodge the attack.
"Tower Master, if you had fled from the start, you might have had a chance. But now, with your diminished Spiritual Power, you are a spent arrow. It’s impossible for you to escape from my grasp!"
Before Qin Yue could regain her footing, Elder Du launched another palm strike. "Tower Master, if you don’t use your true abilities now, you’ll have no chances left!"
Qin Yue stumbled backward, rolling several tis before landing on one knee. She raised her head, a cold glint in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Elder Du. "Elder Du, you’ve forced my hand!"
As the words fell, her aura began to climb at an insane pace. Though she had just been gasping for breath, she was suddenly filled with vigor.
Peak of the first layer of the Martial Master Realm!
Second layer of the Martial Master Realm!
Peak of the second layer of the Martial Master Realm!
Third layer of the Martial Master Realm!
Peak of the third layer of the Martial Master Realm!
In just a few breaths, Qin Yue’s Cultivation had unexpectedly reached the peak of the third layer of the Martial Master Realm, only slightly weaker than the fourth-layer Elder Du.
"The rumors say that the Tower Master’s Martial Soul is extrely special—a Boundary-breaking Martial Soul with effects comparable to an Ancient Clan Secret thod. Seeing it today is truly an eye-opener," Elder Du remarked, excitent gleaming in his aged eyes as he watched Qin Yue’s aura strengthen.
"Enough talk! Prepare to die!"
Using her Martial Soul’s power was even more draining, so Qin Yue didn’t waste a second. She took the initiative, launching an attack on Elder Du. Her Longsword traced a dazzling arc of cold light, aid straight for his heart.
At that mont, she had abandoned all thought of escape. She was going to fight Elder Du to the death.
"Hahaha, excellent! In that case, I’ll gladly accept your Martial Soul!"
Just as Qin Yue charged, Elder Du’s aura also surged, jumping from the fourth layer of the Martial Master Realm all the way to the fifth.
SWOOSH!
At the sa ti, a Longsword appeared in Elder Du’s hand, clashing fiercely against Qin Yue’s.
CRACK!
Qin Yue’s Longsword shattered. Elder Du then slamd his palm into her shoulder, sending her flying and crashing to the ground.
"My apologies, Tower Master, but my Martial Soul is also a Boundary-breaking Martial Soul. What’s more, it can devour others to advance! That is one of the reasons I must kill you!"
Elder Du’s movents beca even faster as he stabbed his sword toward the fallen Qin Yue.
She had no ti to dodge.
Am I going to die here today?
A trace of despair and unwillingness flashed through Qin Yue’s heart as she slowly closed her eyes.
However, at that very mont, a figure dashed out from the side, scooping up Qin Yue and rolling away into the distance in one swift, fluid motion, saving her life in the nick of ti.
