Chapter 328: Chapter 140 The Battle Ends

"Boom—"

Three copper-armored corpses, along with their master, Shi Wujiu, were sent flying by the fierce Qi Force, stacking upon one another in mid-air and landing in a tangled heap.

"Circulating Mountain Strength, remarkably effective," Qing Yu slowly retracted his fist.

With the Mountain Strength empowering him, Qing Yu’s already impressive physique ascended to another level, endowing him with tremendous strength and superior defensive capabilities. The Circulation of the Six Voids Technique truly was a comprehensive Martial Art.

In the past ten or so minutes, Qing Yu had experimented with many of the Absolute Skills mentioned in the original work of the West City Eight Divisions.

The results were pleasing and the gains substantial. As mentioned in the original work, once the Circulation of the Six Voids Technique was mastered, the so-called Eight Divine Abilities were nothing more than dispensable illusions.

This was something Qing Yu had personally validated. With the eight forces within him, any Divine Skill was at his fingertips; the Eight Divine Abilities that common people struggled to master, Qing Yu could realize immediately just by understanding the principle.

In just over ten minutes, Qing Yu had experimented with the Wind Department’s "Wind God Sword," the Thunder Department’s "Thunder Sound Electric Dragon," and the Water Department’s "Heavenly Water Ten Directions Sword." Even the tough-skinned, copper-armored corpses were left misshapen after such torment.

Although the Eight Division Absolute Skills were mere tricks, for Qing Yu, who was still unfamiliar with the Circulation of the Six Voids Technique, they proved to be a good method for employing the eight forces. After all, these techniques were also the result of generations of arduous creation and each held its unique use.

"Damn it!" Shi Wujiu shoved aside the battered copper-armored corpses atop him and roared, "We are the Demon Envoys of the Heavenly Demon Palace. If the Azure Dragon Association dares to assassinate a Demon Envoy, the Heavenly Demon Palace will never let you off."

Despite his anger, his voice could not hide his fear masked with ferocity. Previously, Shi Wujiu would never have resorted to threatening with the Heavenly Demon Palace against an unknown assassin organization—it would have been as simple as crushing ants.

"Azure Dragon Association’s killing? Who knows?" Qing Yu said with an unconcerned smile.

"Besides, isn’t it already done?"

Shi Wujiu followed Qing Yu’s gaze only to see another figure, Yun Wuyue, whose exposed palm shimmered with jade light, appearing as transparent and crystalline as glass.

With a single palm press, it was as if neither god nor ghost could oppose.

Lin Gui sensed the warning signs of death, screamed with all his might, and struck back desperately, only to have his own True Qi drawn out by the Qi vortex and turned to counter himself.

After his Protective True Qi was defeated by the "Shifting Flower and Receiving Jade" technique, a succession of freezing palm forces turned Lin Gui into a block of ice.

Then, the ice shattered, and Lin Gui, with a look of fear in his eyes, broke into dozens of pieces.

Seeing a Demon Envoy die before his eyes, Shi Wujiu finally relinquished the last bit of hope in his heart. The enemy was clearly bent on utter annihilation and would spare no one; even the Heavenly Demon Palace was futile.

"You will regret this."

After these words, Shi Wujiu shaped his hands into claws and grabbed the heads of two unrecognizable copper-armored corpses, "Corpse Storage Technique."

The rich Corpse Qi contained within the copper-armored corpses was absorbed from the Heavenly Spirit into Shi Wujiu’s body, wave after wave of Corpse Qi turning his hands a ghastly purplish-green.

"Absorbing corpse energy into the body to transform oneself into a corpse-like entity?"

Qingyu closely observed the state within Shi Wujiu’s body using "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Technique", speaking with interest.

It was apparent that this was probably a desperate secret technique of Shiyin Hall, absorbing corpse Qi with a living body. Even if one could withstand the backlash of the corpse Qi, ultimately one would turn into a zombie. Without high spiritual cultivation, Shi Wujiu’s consciousness would inevitably be assimilated by the corpse Qi, no different from being dead.

Such a desperate technique was better observed from a distance. No matter how hard Shi Wujiu fought for his life, his end was still death, as the difference in strength was clear. It was better to check the effectiveness of this secret technique, to have a countermeasure when encountering masters from Shiyin Hall in the future.

"But what about this third Copper Armored Corpse, don’t tell me he needs to absorb each one individually; this technique is too foolish. In a life-and-death struggle, who would give you the time to dally?"

Even absorbing two Copper Armored Corpses was dallying enough; if not for Qingyu’s intentional observation, Shi Wujiu would already be dead.

Perhaps Shi Wujiu realized this point too, hence, in fear of Qingyu taking action, he did something astonishing. That was to mouth-to-mouth extract the corpse Qi from the third Copper Armored Corpse.

This scene was truly eye-searing. Even Qingyu’s usually unshaken mental state was disturbed for a moment; for Qingyu, this was indeed very rare.

"Ha ha ha, what an interesting scene indeed." After dealing with the Ghost Cicada, Monk Shi Jue laughed in a throaty voice that resembled that of a night owl.

This guy was really into playing his role, finding such an eye-searing scene amusing.

"Dragon Chief, please immediately eliminate that thing," Wuyue said, her figure flitting far away.

Obviously, the cleanliness-seeking Two Dragon Heads could not stand such filthy things.

"I can’t stand it either. Let’s just finish you off."

Both hands lifted up at the sides, spread outwards, above the left hand ice formed, emitting chilling cold, while above the right hand flames rose, fiercely intense, "Kanli Ice and Fire Tribulation."

The cold ice Qi and fiercely intense Fire Power embodied the meaning of Yin and Yang, promoting and restraining each other. Qingyu swung both palms simultaneously; the two powers flowing side by side, yet intertwined, forming a spherical rotation flying towards Shi Wujiu who had almost finished absorbing the corpse Qi.

The intermingled ice and fire, flames scorching the body, and frost covering it over, the two entirely distinct True Qis taking turns ravaging Shi Wujiu’s body. Despite having absorbed the corpse Qi and his body being as strong as Vajra, he couldn’t withstand the damage from the two fiercely opposing forces, and after screaming in agony and rolling on the ground, the balance between the living Qi and corpse Qi was lost. Under the explosion of multiple Qi forces, his body collapsed, self-destructing on the spot.

"So satisfying." The abominable sight had been fully erased by the ice and fire, granting Qingyu a sense of relief.

"Monk, does your Great Zen Temple have any plans for the third day of the third month? Could you share some information?" Qingyu suddenly asked Monk Shi Jue.

At this moment, with Wuyue not there, Monk Shi Jue finally reverted to his original appearance, bringing his palms together: "Amitabha, I am unable to disclose such details. Master Yu only needs to know, do not appear at the Water and Land Ceremony on the third day of the third month. The monk would not want the hard-earned favor to go to waste by your absence due to passing away."

’It seems the Great Zen Temple indeed has significant movements planned.’ Qingyu thought internally.

Although Monk Shi Jue did not give any concrete details, simply advising Qingyu to avoid the Water and Land Ceremony already highlighted that a major battle could occur. Considering that Northern Zhou might become the breach in the Esoteric Sect’s infiltration of the Central Plains’ faith circle, it was highly likely that warriors from the Divinity Realm might appear.

’I just wonder, with Feng Tianming’s support, how the Great Zen Temple intends to contend with the Esoteric Sect within the Northern Zhou Territory...’
