Chapter 380: Chapter 192: Subterranean Fire Leads to Darkness

The Breaking Gang Needle blinded him, and Qing Yu had no leverage in midair, clearly on the verge of being utterly defeated.

"Whew—"

The slight breeze that stirred up seemed to offer a moment’s relaxation amidst the tense battle.

However, Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan felt a sudden uneasiness in their hearts, knowing well that even if there were winds in this great hall, they shouldn’t be reaching its depths.

Yet, the anomaly occurring above made both men overlook the inexplicable breeze as they looked up in astonishment.

They saw Qing Yu’s raven-black hair unfurl dramatically, thousands of strands curving into arcs like black feathers, softly supporting him. Then, buoyed by these feather-like locks, he deftly shifted position, avoiding the incoming swarm of Breaking Gang Needles.

Three Thousand White Feathers.

Hmm... that was the name of the move in the original story, but with "Ten Thousand Paths" within him, Qing Yu could manipulate the "Circulation of the Six Voids Technique" and its Qi Force at will, there was no need for his hair to turn white. Though white hair does look quite handsome.

The breeze continued to blow, and Qing Yu stood aloof in midair, a transcendent figure like a celestial being.

Although Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan knew it was but a marvel of Martial Arts, and not that Gong Ziyu could truly fly or had become a warrior of the Divinity Realm, they were still panic-stricken, feeling terrified.

Because they knew, if their final move to kill had failed, then their own death was imminent.

"So this is your trump card, quite enlightening indeed," Qing Yu floated in the air, his eyes on the densely packed needle holes at the top of the hall, speaking leisurely.

Bai Guishan, known as the Poison Heart Scholar, was cunning and a Martial Artist of the Divine Origin Realm. Qing Yu could not see through him completely as he did with Feng Chaonan, but there was no problem in discerning his murderous intent.

Thus, being assaulted by poison fog and blown into the sky by Feng Guanyu seemed at first to be a scheme of Bai Guishan, yet it was within Qing Yu’s expectations.

However, Qing Yu hadn’t expected Bai Guishan’s ultimate move to be this Poison Needle.

It had always been Qing Yu using poison against others; it was quite rare for others to use poison on him. A deadly toxin that could threaten Qing Yu at this point was something he had never seen before, so saying it was an enlightening experience was indeed true.

The "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill" was always active, predicting the enemy’s plans, all of Bai Guishan’s and Feng Guanyu’s actions were within Qing Yu’s expectations.

Now, both of the opponents were at their wits’ end, left with no choice but to make a desperate last stand.

However, they might not even have the chance for that last stand.

"What’s happening?"

"My True Qi?!"

Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan suddenly cried out in alarm, as they gathered their True Qi for one final attempt, only to feel a sudden depletion of energy, their True Qi dissipating and refusing to flow.

"When did you start plotting against us?" Bai Guishan looked up at Qing Yu floating above, instinct telling him it was Qing Yu who had set them up.

After all, there were only three of them in this sleeping chamber, and there was no need for further suspects.

"Heh," Qing Yu shook his head, "If I let you go all out, it might take some effort and waste time. Better to finish this quickly."

Outside, the twenty-four people quickly forming the Circulating Eight Forces were barely hanging on, so Qing Yu had just employed the "Mountain Wind Two Forces" combined move, "Mountain Wind Gu."

Mountain Wind turned into Gu, a tactic of decay. The strange breeze Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan had previously sensed was due to the Mountain Wind Gu. The wind below the mountain, blocked by the mountain and not flowing, became stagnant, their True Qi blending with this wind, stopped by the mountain, naturally rendering them weak and unable to mobilize their True Qi.

However, this Mountain Wind Gu move seemed somewhat inapplicable here.

The agitated True Qi in Feng Guanyu rose to new heights, his face no longer flushed but significantly paler, an indication of overburned essence blood.

"The Phoenix Sky Strategy’s True Qi was extremely active; not even the Mountain Wind Gu could fully restrain it. Moreover, at this moment, Feng Guanyu had pushed the Blood Sacrifice to Heaven to its ultimate limit. His True Qi could no longer be suppressed by the Mountain Wind Gu."

"Chi—"

The cry of the phoenix, unprecedentedly loud and clear, pierced through the sleeping chambers, and even the Circulation Eight Extremes Formation could not stop its sound from reaching the outside world.

Flames blazed behind Feng Guanyu, forming magnificent Phoenix Wings. The wings stirred, whipping up fervent fire winds that enveloped the entire sleeping chamber in a sea of flames.

"Alas, this momentum, it can’t be stopped," Qing Yu sighed.

The fire spread rapidly, and under Feng Guanyu’s deliberate guidance, the entire sleeping chamber lit up with flames that quickly began to engulf the entire structure.

By then, unless the people outside were blind, they could see the anomaly here.

"Hahaha..." Bai Guishan laughed hoarsely, "Gong Ziyu, we have won."

Feng Guanyu, having driven the Blood Sacrifice to Heaven to its extreme, could hold on for a while. With just a bit more time, the top experts guarding the Yangxin Hall and even the Divine Realm warriors within the Imperial Palace would notice the anomaly here and arrive swiftly.

At that point, if Qing Yu had not yet escaped, it would be his time to die.

This was Bai Guishan’s thought, but in reality, Qing Yu could tell him clearly that it was a pipe dream.

The suddenly appearing darkness came from nowhere, and by the time it truly revealed itself, it had already engulfed Qing Yu within it.

And then...

The darkness radiated like light; or rather, wherever there was light, darkness covered it.

"Terrestrial Fire Vanquishes the Light."

Qing Yu’s hands spanned wide, his surging True Qi forming a darkness that obliterated all light, shrouding the surroundings, naturally including Feng Guanyu with his bright fire wings.

Terrestrial Fire Vanquishes the Light; above was Kun, below was Li, brightness entering the ground, an imagery of gloom. Damage to light, darkness, brightness hurt, execution, times of dimness in the world.

This move was specifically designed to target Yang Fire, for Feng Guanyu, it was a natural nemesis.

Even if Feng Guanyu used the forbidden technique of Blood Sacrifice to Heaven, his True Qi was still no match for Qing Yu’s. Thus, he could only be crushed by Qing Yu’s vast True Qi. Despite struggling, he was extinguished by the darkness created by Terrestrial Fire Vanquishes the Light within three breaths, as darkness enveloped him, his breath ceased.

When the darkness dissipated, the fire that had spread throughout the sleeping chamber had also diminished, with only a few sparks flickering far from Qing Yu; most of the flames had been extinguished by Terrestrial Fire Vanquishes the Light.

As for the primary targets, Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan, they still maintained their standing posture, but the light in their eyes had already vanished.

Terrestrial Fire Vanquishes the Light had also extinguished their Life Fire.

With a light tap of his toes, and then firmly planting his feet on the ground, Qing Yu’s figure floated down lightly.

"Next, it’s time to escape."

Qing Yu looked outside, his expression hesitant, as if troubled by something.

In theory, he had no need to be troubled; after all, he was the victor, not Feng Guanyu and Bai Guishan who had already lost their voices.

"Better to be safe."

As if he had made up his mind, True Qi surged beneath Qing Yu’s feet, and the ground rippled like water.

Then, under the influence of the Circulating Earth Power and the Circulating Ze Force, the ground truly became like the surface of water, swallowing Qing Yu’s figure.
