Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 420 - 173: The Gap, One Dead One Captured

Two Sword Lights, like two magnificent heavenly dragons, pounced towards Wang Qi with the momentum of the apex predators of the food chain, slicing through the air, cutting down trees, severing the wind, and slaying everything slayable along their path.

Emperor's Extreme Heaven Splitting Dao Secret Sword, Fierce Blood Dragon Slaying Sword!

Upon seeing the two Sword Dragons swiftly approaching, Wang Qi's eyes deepened, having already calculated all possible trajectories of the Sword Dragons using the Book of Geometry. With Sword Qi assaulting his face, at the very moment the Sword Dragons neared, Wang Qi leaned back, his calves hooking onto a branch like a bat, narrowly dodging this lethal sword technique.

"Heterodox... truly so adept at combat!" Li Yuncong was astounded. He had long heard that his Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was at most comparable to a Heterodox Qi Cultivator who had been training for a year or two, and he was no match for the elite among them. As for Heterodox Foundation Establishment... even Junior Master Zhai at the Golden Core Stage might not be his opponent!

The Fierce Blood Dragon Slaying Sword was an ultimate move from the Emperor's Extreme Heaven Splitting Dao. The two wielders had exerted too much force, making it hard to maneuver the Sword Momentum. Wang Qi, following the momentum of falling, turned half a circle on the branch and launched himself at his opponent. Li Yuncong's expression changed drastically. With a slap to the pouch at his waist, dozens of cone-shaped magical artifacts shot out from his Magical Treasure Storage, swarming towards Wang Qi like bees.

Hidden within Wang Qi, the Phase Wave surged, forming an invisible protective field of material waves on his hands. Wang Qi pressed against the first cone-shaped artifact. This artifact was originally enchanted with a malicious Spirit Prohibition that would release Samadhi True Fire and Bone-Eroding Fierce Flame upon encountering any external force, damaging the physical body and burning the Divine Soul. However, this force was barely suppressed and pushed back by the material waves. Wang Qi, using the force from this contact, performed an agile turn in mid-air and directly blitzed past the group of magic cones.

At this moment, a distance of one hundred and fifty zhang remained between the two parties!

Tang Xiao initiated a Sword Technique, and his overpassed Flying Sword immediately turned back. By then, Wang Qi had already landed on the ground, no longer rushing forward with rapid leaps. Wang Qi's legs instantly shone with a layer of white radiance. Under the blessing of the Holy Light, his leg muscles even became tougher than those of a frog-like member of the Demon Clan.

With a "boom!" a thunderous noise echoed, like muffled thunder—the sound was actually from Wang Qi's legs colliding with the ground! In Tang Xiao's eyes, only a dirt crater remained on the ground, while Wang Qi turned into a blurred afterimage charging forward.

Golden Light surged from within Li Yuncong's body. As soon as this golden light appeared, the air seemed to carry the sounds of clashing swords and charging cavalry. Immediately afterward, Li Yuncong let out a wild battle cry from his throat, the golden light on his body solidifying into a layer of golden armor.

Emperor's Extreme Secret Technique, Emperor's Divine Armor.

As soon as the armor fully materialized, Li Yuncong exerted force from his feet, charging out with a momentum that could split armies. His hand pressed against the sword at his waist, drawing it with a motion that brought his momentum to a zenith. As Wang Qi drew nearer, Li Yuncong instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then, a sword strike.

As the opponent entered his striking range, he swung out his sword.

This strike, simple and pure, resembled the arc of a crescent moon, as if drawn by a war god himself. This blow alone was enough to halt armies and chill the hearts of generals!

What met him was another tremendous sound. At the crucial moment, Wang Qi kicked fiercely at the ground below his opponent. Utilizing his own cultivation abilities, he had seized the tactical opportunity even earlier than Li Yuncong. The dirt that sprayed up took the brunt of this sword strike. Li Yuncong's second deadly attack was only three inches from his head.

At this time, Wang Qi was forty zhang away from Tang Xiao.

The abrupt stop caused Wang Qi to momentarily lose his speed. Tang Xiao's Flying Sword whistled from behind. Fearing collateral damage, Tang Xiao didn't use a heavy destructive technique like the Fierce Blood Dragon Slaying Sword this time. Wang Qi spun his long sword behind his back, diverting Tang Xiao's Flying Sword off course, then his free left hand harshly slapped towards Li Yuncong's wide-open shoulder.

The shoulder was not a vital spot, and the Emperor's Divine Armor was not easily breached, was it? Just as Li Yuncong was about to laugh, he felt a sharp pain spreading from his shoulder, instantly radiating throughout his body and even invading his organs. Amidst astonished and inexplicable gazes, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

What's going on?

He hadn't even recalled a certain preposterous legend mentioned by his mentors.

Carrying a trace of the Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm's Thermal Death mental realm, the Heavenly Entropy Technique's mana specialized in breaking protective skills.

Before Li Yuncong could spit out the blood, Wang Qi had already accelerated again. He abandoned all defense, holding his long sword level, and sprinted with his legs. A Flying Sword, with its chilling Sword Qi, was in hot pursuit behind him.

This was a contest of speed!

Fast! Only speed mattered!

Tang Xiao hardly had time to use a Finger Technique to accelerate the Flying Sword. In the final moment, a flicker of confusion crossed his face, as if he couldn't understand why things were unfolding in this way. Before his thought could even complete, the cold metal had already pierced his heart.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! Wang Qi's speed didn't decrease at all, crashing with Tang Xiao through seven or eight large trees. Suddenly bereft of its controller, the Flying Sword, carrying its inertia, pierced a tree and could move no more.

Pierced through the heart, Tang Xiao, who had subsequently smashed through several more trees, was already dead, hanging from Wang Qi's sword like a piece of rag. Wang Qi shook off the enemy's body and then approached Li Yuncong, first using heavy techniques to break all of his limbs, and then, with the secret technique of the Wanfa Sect, locked the acupoints around his Dantian. This locking technique was based on principles from topology. In theory, only someone with a higher understanding of topology than Wang Qi could break free on their own.

After doing all this, Wang Qi then injected Holy Light into Li Yuncong to heal his injuries. The unforgettable experience left by the Nascent Soul of the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, which had decisively self-detonated back then, was something he absolutely did not want to relive like Li Ziye.

Li Yuncong slowly regained consciousness. Wang Qi stopped injecting the Holy Light and grabbed the collar of Li Yuncong's garment. "Hey, Ancient Method insect, you're awake, huh?"

"Heterodox..." Li Yuncong still tried to talk tough, but Wang Qi did not hesitate to snap his middle finger into an inverse right angle. Ten fingers connected to the heart, Li Yuncong cried out loud, nearly biting through his lip. Wang Qi said coldly, "I don't like using interrogation, but I despise you Ancient Method Practitioners even more. Also, you just experienced my healing techniques. I can come up with many tricks while making sure you won't die. To save my time and to keep this pleasant for me, I ask, you answer, understood?"

Li Yuncong's mouth twitched, his gaze blank. In fact, he hadn't yet come to terms with the fact that he and Tang Xiao, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, had been killed and captured in the blink of an eye by a Qi Refining Cultivator!

"Aow!" Wang Qi appeared very impatient, his fingers, like a pair of pliers, gripping another of Li Yuncong's fingers and fiercely snapping it. Li Yuncong convulsed in pain, tears and snot running down his face. Just as Wang Qi was about to break the third finger, Li Yuncong, breaking down, shouted, "I'll talk! I'll say everything... I am... Emperor's Extreme..."

Strangely, a vengeful expression flickered in his eyes as he spoke.

Wang Qi struck like lightning, a hand-chop hitting Li Yuncong on the throat. Li Yuncong almost had his vocal cords severed, his voice turning hoarse and ugly. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, shouting, "You..."

"I almost forgot there. It seems like the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao has a secret technique that if you say something you shouldn't, your whole body's essence blood will ignite, turning into a Spirit Prohibition that clings to me, and the nearby disciples of the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao will sense it... Tsk, tsk, I'll just ask, and you nod or shake your head alright?"

Wang Qi was smiling very pleasantly as he said this. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to support by voting recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
