Chapter 249: Chapter 61: Falling Out

Qingyu Association had never expected that among the denizens of the Demon Path, someone would intentionally deceive and employ such a strategy as playing the oriole stalking the mantis?

Of course, they had anticipated this. As someone who always thought one step ahead and looked three steps ahead, how could he not suspect that among those four, someone was pretending?

It is important to note that these four individuals were the cream of the crop of this generation in the Six Demon Sects, and their status was similar to that of Yuan Jianyi and Xiao Chengming.

Although there was only one Demon Young Master ranked, it didn’t mean that there were no other experts among the younger generation. Their absence from the rankings was merely due to the Demon Path being suppressed by the Righteous Path in recent years, with few making an official appearance. They weren’t on the list not because they were weak, but because they had not been conspicuous.

That said, this woman, Yun Wuyue, who fought alongside Qingyu against Qiao Baixuan previously, definitely had extraordinary strength. With her "Innate Nine Layers" Realm, had she shown herself in the worldly society, how could she be unknown?

Thus, Qingyu didn’t believe for a moment these people were all pushovers.

For this reason, during the intense fight earlier, he had intentionally fired Sword Qi, severing one person’s leg.

Unfortunately, Qingyu’s luck wasn’t great; the person he chose turned out to be a weakling, and he didn’t pick the right target.

However, Qingyu never completely let down his guard, remaining vigilant at all times. From the current situation, Qingyu’s precautions were not misguided. And with such caution, there naturally emerged a method of defense.

The method of defense was simple...

"Qi Dual Flow!"

Just as before with Qiao Baixuan, Qingyu didn’t secretly gather returning energy as usual; this time, he unrestrainedly and frenziedly absorbed Primordial Energy. The continuous influx rejuvenated his nearly depleted True Qi, quickly restoring it.

"Strike now!"

Yun Wuyue was the first to move, not only had she previously hidden her injuries but also her true strength. With a green-white hue flowing between her palms, her strike was the "Taiyin Refining Form," capable of dissolving flesh and disintegrating bones. Its power had increased significantly more than her previous move against Qiao Baixuan.

No wonder she dared to show arrogance before the Demon Young Master; Yun Wuyue indeed had the capability.

"Demon Heart Reverse Sword."

Xiang Haorang also gave his full effort, aiming to slay Qingyu before he could fully restore his strength. The black longsword in his hand wasn’t significantly infused with True Qi—it was clear indeed that a large part of his True Qi was still suppressed by the Great Formation—but its power belied the True Qi attached.

Qingyu could sense that this sword posed a significant threat. Considering what Xiang Haorang had said earlier, the prowess of the Demon Sword Dao actually grew stronger in adverse conditions.

Nevertheless...

If adversity really made one stronger, and the stronger the sword became, then Qingyu would impose the most severe adversity to see how powerful his sword could become.

He raised his palm and gathered energy, focusing the extremely resistive ’Extreme Yang’ True Qi into his palm before unleashing "Kanglong Youhui," with Extreme Yang confronting Yin, Dragon Subduing crushing Taiyin.

After achieving some success in "Dragon-Elephant Wisdom," Qingyu truly exhibited the grandeur that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms should have. The opposing energies collided fiercely, Qingyu’s Hand Power was unceasing; Yun Wuyue, already wounded from before and drained of considerable True Qi, found her "Taiyin Refining Form" overwhelming but unsustainable. Forced to retreat three steps, her lips bled anew, further worsening her injuries.

Subsequently, the book "Heavenly Calculation and Earthly Measurement" kept in his left hand was tucked into his waist, "Eternal Brightness" suddenly split, transforming into Dual Swords, "One Origin Rebirth Void."

One sword split into two, each wielding the power of both arms; it was as if one person was exerting the strength of two. But it was not over yet...

"All Phenomena Return to One and Rebirth."

With the humming sound, the separated dual swords traced a mysterious trajectory and unified once more, yet this time, it relied on more than just the strength of the arms.

"Whoo—"

The sword wind howled as if the air itself lamented under the sword. Qingyu, having cultivated the "Dragon Elephant Wisdom," possessed immense strength in both arms, and this sword strike, crafted through an innovative approach, mustered the combined strength of two people, its might shockingly formidable.

"Boom—"

Like the collapse of Mount Tai, "Eternal Brightness" thunderously struck the Hao Rang Sword, overwhelming the "Demon Heart Reverse Sword" and sending Hao Rang flying.

The sword techniques of the Demon Sword Dao were indeed miraculous, but they too had their limits. If surpassed, the so-called "Demon Heart Reverse Sword" would be as futile as a mantis blocking a chariot.

And this sword from Qingyu was a move beyond limits.

Hao Rang flew dozens of yards horizontally, crashing directly into the stone wall of the Stone Hall, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling as though every bone and muscle in his body was about to split. His black long sword also developed several cracks, nearing uselessness.

"Take this move!"

Gongshan Zhen raised his fist and delivered a vigorous straight punch toward Qingyu.

This punch had no frills—just a straightforward straight punch. Such a simple punch, of course, wouldn’t hit Qingyu, who parried Gongshan Zhen’s wrist with his left-hand sword and suddenly exerted a forceful slash.

"Body Refinement Martial Arts, huh?" Although phrased as a question, it was spoken with certainty.

Gongshan Zhen’s tall stature alone signified his extraordinary physique. Unlike Hao Rang, there were no traces of True Qi on his fist, evidently suppressed by the Great Formation, making it difficult to mobilize.

He could still move because his strength chiefly resided in his steely body.

Qingyu’s "Eternal Brightness" was tremendously sharp—it had even sliced to the bone of a monk, who practiced Esoteric Martial Arts and hard skill and had previously escaped.

However, when Qingyu horizontally slashed Gongshan Zhen’s wrist this time, he encountered a resistance stronger than before; the sword edge got stuck directly in the muscle.

Gongshan Zhen seized this opportunity and grabbed the sword edge with his other hand.

"Ssss—"

The sword edge and the palm rubbed, igniting sparks, but surprisingly, this time not even the skin was broken.

Amazed, Qingyu fixed his gaze and saw that Gongshan Zhen, a burly man, wore a thin, transparent glove.

The material of the glove was unknown, and when worn, it seemed nonexistent. Had it not been for Qingyu’s exceptional eyesight, he would have thought Gongshan Zhen’s hard skill had progressed to withstand "Eternal Brightness," a treasure sword, head-on.

With his stratagem successful in capturing one of Qingyu’s swords, Wuyue attacked anew, her Floating Ribbon flying at Qingyu who held the other sword. Her other hand gathered silvery-white lunar energy, employing the previously countered "Taiyin Qi Gathering" against the Heavenly Destiny Palm.

Even Qiao Baixuan’s Heavenly Destiny Palm couldn’t fully offset the force of this move, and Qingyu dared not test how effective "Innate Gang Qi" would be against such a fierce attack.

He immediately let go of the left-hand sword, placed a palm on the triumphant Gongshan Zhen’s shoulder, pushing him back. His right wrist twisted, wrapping Wuyue’s Floating Ribbon all around his wrist, forcibly altering her body’s position, and pushed out his left palm again.

"Shocking Hundred Miles."

The most vigorous of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms smashed directly towards Wuyue’s lovely face. If this palm connected, Wuyue, this peerless beauty, I’m afraid, would ironically become a "peerless beauty."
