Chapter 248: Chapter 60 Qiao Baixuan Defeated

"Just hold out a little longer, waiting for the suppression of the Great Formation to disappear?"

This was merely a verbal tactic to provoke Qiao Baixuan into making a move. Given the remaining True Qi Qing Yu had at that time, he might very well be a corpse after a short while.

Therefore, he had to kill Qiao Baixuan immediately, right away.

Qiao Baixuan’s Heavenly Destiny Palm, though powerful, with each palm strike like a decree of destiny that was difficult to counter and possessing an omnipresence that was hard to dodge.

But the grand momentum of Heavenly Destiny is not something humans can control. Qiao Baixuan’s strongest palm could be released but not retracted. The overwhelming momentum of Heavenly Destiny came surging in, unstoppable by any, and no one could pull it back.

"Here it comes!"

As Qiao Baixuan unleashed his extreme move, bearing an overwhelming momentum, he pushed his palm towards Qing Yu.

It was then that Qing Yu met Qiao Baixuan’s gaze with his own, "Void Eye·Chaotic God."

Unlike other Martial Artists of the Innate Realm, Qing Yu had cultivated the "Black Heaven Book" and had already advanced the Divine Origin Power. Although it didn’t compare to the true Divine Origin Realm, it was a reasonable facsimile.

The power of Chaotic God instantly disrupted Qiao Baixuan’s spirit, causing his lock on Qing Yu to disappear momentarily.

That moment predetermined his defeat. Qing Yu took the opportunity to escape the range of the Heavenly Destiny Palm, lifted his Qi to lighten his body, and leaped into the air, where his brilliant and urgent sword technique of extreme nature reappeared.

A sword flew from the west, Outer Heaven Flying Immortal.

Like a meteor, no one could describe the brilliance of this sword, its sword light flew diagonally, carrying an ice-cold biting Sword Qi, and an unmatched dominance, arriving in an instant, its sword edge unstoppable.

The Primordial Energy protection provided by the Great Formation crumbled with one strike, and next was Qiao Baixuan’s body.

However, just then, the clothes on Qiao Baixuan suddenly burst forth with brilliance, a blue Qi Force shone through the fabric, forming a rounded Qi Shield.

Through the clothes illuminated by the blue radiance, Qing Yu could see it was a round object, with a small hole, resembling a jade pendant.

"A life-saving artifact?"

These members of the Great Sects always have some resources unknown to ordinary people. And for Qiao Baixuan, being the sole direct disciple of Elder Shiming, it was quite normal to have something to save his life at critical moments.

The blue Qi Shield quickly formed, resisting the tip of the "Eternal Brightness" sword, preventing its further advance.

"This won’t stop me!"

Qing Yu’s gaze hardened, and the tip of the "Eternal Brightness" sword suddenly emitted a sword light, piercing through the newly formed blue Qi Shield and penetrating Qiao Baixuan’s left chest.

"Hissss—"

Blood gushed like a fountain, spraying out from the wound. Although the sword light was slightly deflected by the Qi Shield and did not hit the heart directly, the injury near the heart was still a severe blow, and if not treated in time, it was highly likely he would still die.

"Zing—"

A buzzing sound came from the stone platform, which also emitted a blue light, responding to the Qi Shield on Qiao Baixuan’s body.

Afterward, with a flash of light, Qiao Baixuan’s figure disappeared without a trace.

"Is this... teleportation?"

Qing Yu shook his head and chuckled, realizing that Qiao Baixuan wasn’t wrong when he said that the legacy was meant for him.

With the opening of this legacy site, at least hundreds of people lay dead, their corpses uncollected. Yet, when Qiao Baixuan faced mortal danger, he was immediately teleported out.

If those who had died knew about this disparity, they would likely arise from their graves in shock.

"Hmm? Killing Intent!"

Qing Yu suddenly turned around, intercepted the sword attacking him from behind, and both blades clanged in conflict; both parties rebounded backward.

"How are you still able to move?" Qing Yu stared at the attacker.

Qiao Baixuan had left, but the Great Formation was still active, so, logically, this person should still be immobilized.

"Hehe, our Demon Sword Dao thrives under pressure; the greater the pressure, the fiercer the sword. The Demon Sword, a swordsmanship that defies the world, will not be crushed by mere pressure," Xiang Haorang chuckled smugly.

"But Gong Ziyu, how could you detect my stealth attack? Aren’t you supposed to be deaf?"

"Deaf?!" Gongshan Zhen exclaimed loudly.

His forceful shout did not seem like he was being suppressed by the Great Formation and unable to move.

"Damn it, Gongshan Zhen, could you be any more foolish!" Xiang Haorang bellowed, clearly frustrated by Gongshan Zhen’s gaffe, who revealed himself before the attack had even been launched.

"That doesn’t matter; with the three of us here, Gong Ziyu can’t turn the tables even with his dwindling True Qi," Gongshan Zhen dismissed casually. "Tell me, how is Gong Ziyu supposed to be deaf?"

At this moment, Yun Wuyue was also looking indifferently at Xiang Haorang, the trace of blood still on her lips not wiped away, her complexion nowhere as pale as before. It turned out her severe injuries were feigned. They were definitely injuries, but not as serious as they had appeared.

Clearly, the Demonic People had long been planning to sit on the sidelines and let Qing Yu and Qiao Baixuan exhaust each other.

"I too am curious, how did you figure out I am deaf?" Qing Yu asked suspiciously.

He was truly curious. He had sealed off his hearing nearly half a year ago, and except for Feng Jiu, who had been informed, no one had noticed that Qing Yu, who appeared normal, had in fact been deaf all along.

Even someone like Yuan Jianyi Qiao Baixuan, who could sense Qing Yu’s strength, could not perceive Qing Yu’s hidden hearing issue. Luo Yanbu and Leng Chuan had traveled with Qing Yu numerous times and still hadn’t noticed this issue.

But, ironically, it was a total stranger from the Demonic Path who had discerned the secret that he had so carefully concealed.

"Actually, it’s quite simple," Xiang Haorang snickered, "Our Demon Sword Dao values resilience in adversity; the harsher the situation, the fiercer and more demonic the sword becomes. I’ve experienced loss of hearing, vision, touch, and even all five senses. Adverse conditions are not unfamiliar to me. Recognizing you as a fellow deaf person was simple. Isn’t recognizing one’s own kind a normal thing?"

"How about that? As a former fellow sufferer, didn’t I just resolve a regret for you? Isn’t that commendable?"

"It’s very commendable," Qing Yu nodded.

"Since that’s the case, might you tell me how you detected my stealth attack? You know, I studied assassination techniques with Xiang Juejian for a while. Although not the secret technique of Doomed Hall, my strike had no qi leakage; you shouldn’t have noticed. Tell me, and I can make it quick for you," Xiang Haorang said, appearing quite generous.

"Sorry, but I’m not as commendable as you," Qing Yu shook his head, "I have no intention of divulging secrets to an enemy. Besides..."

"I’m not going to die."

As Qiao Baixuan had left, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that spread out began to gather again and surged into Qing Yu’s body like a dragon or tiger, "Qi Dual Flow!"

Previously, Qiao Baixuan controlled the Great Formation, absorbing all the Primordial Energy. Now that he was gone and no one was in control of the Formation, Qing Yu was not going to hold back.
