Chapter 483: Chapter 295 Qing Yu’s Strength

In Divine Capital, outside the residence of the Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan.

Qi Sibo and Tao Qiucui acted simultaneously, charging into the mansion and rampaging through it.

Assassins from the Azure Dragon Association lying in ambush throughout the residence launched a surprise attack, but the two did not need to lift a finger. Using only their Protective True Qi, they could ram into and pulverize every obstacle and person in their way.

True masters of the True Pill Realm were not like Meng Wuchang, those half-baked types who needed much effort to kill someone from the Divine Origin Realm.

If not attacked by someone of the same realm, the Perfectly Rounded Protective True Qi of the True Pill Realm would render them virtually indestructible, even to Martial Artists of the Divine Origin Realm who were only one realm below.

"Open!"

Tao Qiucui shouted lightly, her Green Spirit Sword Qi slashing downward, cleaving open a rockery in the garden to reveal a dark tunnel entrance.

Previously, when Feng Chaonan noticed the ambush, he had entered through this tunnel, hoping to escape via the secret path. However, he didn’t realize that Qi Sibo and Tao Qiucui had just arrived outside and had already seized control of his every move.

"Feng Chaonan is fleeing. He will likely head towards the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Association. Good, we shall eradicate the Azure Dragon Association as well," Qi Sibo declared.

"With Feng Chaonan’s strength, he definitely couldn’t have quietly killed His Highness and the other two Divine Origin Realm experts inside the Eastern Palace. He must have had a late-stage Divine Origin Realm substitute. We’ll present this man and Feng Chaonan’s head to Her Majesty, to alleviate the hatred in her heart," Tao Qiucui proposed.

At this moment, their Divine Senses detected that Feng Chaonan was nearing the edge of their sensory range. They immediately set out to pursue him.

However, just then, a figure cloaked in thousands of Qi Rings silently targeted Qi Sibo’s back.

Undying Seven Illusions·Returning Illusion to Reality.

The figure seemed both present and absent, elusive and unpredictable. Even the two True Pill Realm experts hadn’t detected his approach. By the time Qing Yu’s right hand made contact with Qi Sibo’s back, who was standing behind the others, did they realize an attack was underway.

"Be careful!"

Qi Sibo bellowed a warning and tried to dodge.

Yet, at such a close distance, if Qing Yu had missed, he might as well have dashed his head against tofu.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Thousands of Qi Rings exploded in succession, each ring delivering a blow, pulverizing Qi Sibo’s spine and causing his body to burst open, blood pouring out like a fountain.

Only because of the Unity of Three Elements within the True Pill Realm, even without deliberately practicing hard skills, was his body’s toughness extraordinary; otherwise, this move would have cleaved him in two.

But now, Qi Sibo was close to death.

Although the number of Qi Rings Qing Yu used was similar to those during his fight with Pang Ban, the current Qing Yu was incomparable to his former self. If Pang Ban and Qi Sibo had been of the same realm, he wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

"Despicable."

Tao Qiucui bellowed, as her Green Spirit Sword Qi, like layers of raindrops, shot toward the suddenly appearing black-clothed man.

The Green Spirit Sword Qi hit Qing Yu, disappearing into him like into an endless abyss, and then...

Suddenly shot out from Qing Yu’s hands.

Undying Seven Illusions·Testing the Law.

The stacked Sword Qi hit Qi Sibo like rain striking a banana tree, puncturing countless blood-spattered holes.

"Tributor Qi..."

Her words were cut off by a sudden loud noise.

"Whoosh—"

An endless sucking force absorbed all surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, merging it within himself using the Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method, executing an extreme move.

Undying Seven Illusions·Life to Death.

The momentum surged wildly, causing the non-living and non-dead aura to envelop the ethereal Qing Yu.

"Die!"

Qing Yu moved, his speed transcending space and time, leaving Tao Qiucui utterly unable to react.

The Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method strongly suppressed her spirit, causing her to experience an illusion of temporal and spatial disorder.

"Boom—"

First to shatter was Qi Sibo, his battered body burst into a mist of blood like a balloon.

Next—

to kill Tao Qiucui.

Even the Treasure Sword, desperately placed in defense during a life-and-death moment, couldn’t stop Qing Yu’s Extreme Move.

His palms, like illusions, passed through the chaotic sword edges and struck Tao Qiucui, who wore a face full of astonishment.

"Boom—"

A sudden explosion broke out, and Qing Yu’s palms shattered Tao Qiucui’s upper body, leaving only her lower half standing in the original spot. The concealed Qi Force, after its target was dead, burst out massively, striking the pond behind the rockery and causing nearly thirty-foot high splashes, making the entire pond explode instantly.

"Drip drop—"

The pond water turned to raindrops, falling in the garden, leaving only a shallow puddle and a few live fish flopping about.

"Lucky indeed!"

This was addressed to the few fish that remained, as they were the only ones left in the entire pond, the rest having been turned into a mist of blood along with the pond water to become rain.

Qing Yu, smiling, praised the fish’s fortune and wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

The fight had been abrupt yet swift; while Qing Yu appeared very dominant in killing two people within a few moves, the cost to himself was also significant.

While absorbing a large amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi due to the Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method and explosively exceeding limits with the Life to Death method, even someone with Qing Yu’s foundation had suffered considerable injuries.

However, this "considerable" was only relative.

The absorption began again, the Primordial Energy and essence from the surrounding Heaven and Earth entered his body, continuously healing his injuries. The Wind and Thunder Forces in his body activated reciprocally, and the True Qi within his meridians circulated nonstop. The Wind and Thunder Rebirth Method and Earth Heaven Tai simultaneously exerted their power, ensuring a quick recovery.

"This battle indeed tested my real combat strength," Qing Yu slowly clenched his fist, feeling the power inside him.

It was better not to mention Si Yunxin’s combat ability; though Qi Sibo and Tao Qiucui weren’t top experts in the True Pill Realm, they were still considered capable.

Qing Yu’s ability to kill both in a short amount of time, although aided by a sneak attack and enhanced combat strength due to Life to Death, was largely due to his own innate strength.

He already significantly surpasses newcomers who had just advanced to the True Pill Realm in strength, and after using various moves to explode with a power beyond limits, he could even compete with some experts of the True Pill Realm.

"Feng Tianming is indeed at the peak of the True Pill Realm, but with his grievously wounded and dying body, how much strength can he muster," Qing Yu thought indifferently, logically calculating his odds in a final confrontation against Feng Tianming, "In the final battle, it’s almost a sure win."

At this moment, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan had already run beyond Qing Yu’s range of perception, but by the failsafe Qing Yu had left on him, he could faintly feel that he had headed towards the mountain cave where the Azure Dragon Association’s assassins hid.

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan was truly going all out now, as if not doing so would mean his eventual death at the hands of the Empress.

"Let’s have you start this final contest, dear Sixth Prince."

Once a prince suffered injuries or death, Feng Tianming would definitely not sit still.

And once Feng Tianming made his move, he would have to initiate the Nirvana Ceremony prematurely.

Keeping the emperors imprisoned like Feng Mingxiao was not feasible, as these princes were now under countless watchful eyes. Moreover, if Feng Mingxiao and Feng Tianming disappear without the princes, who would lead Northern Zhou?

Thus, the Nirvana Ceremony was doomed to take place this month.
