Chapter 490: Chapter 302: The Death of Luo Yan

In Linchuan Prefecture, dust filled the sky, swirling wildly.

The sudden attack plunged this border city, nestled between two countries, into unprecedented noise and chaos.

The last major turmoil in Linchuan Prefecture occurred when the Japanese and Lin Tengyuan were executed.

But at that time, the highest martial force in Linchuan Prefecture, Lin Tengyuan, was only in the Divine Origin Realm. This time however, merely this sudden assault was enough to instantly kill a warrior in the Divine Origin Realm.

In the midst of the chaos, someone looked up and glimpsed a figure suspended in mid-air, and couldn’t help crying out in shock, "Divinity Realm?!"

Divinity Realm?

Certainly not.

It was merely Qing Yu using "Three Thousand White Feathers" to elevate himself.

However, at this moment, Qing Yu didn’t appear with his usual white hair. He had black hair, wore Dark Gold Armor, and a split Dark Gold Mask that covered his forehead and the lower half of his face; only a pair of cold, detached eyes and some of his nose bridge were visible.

With a flutter of his sleeves, a gust of wind arose, sweeping away the dust in the sky and revealing the mess below.

The inn had completely vanished, leaving only a sizable crater and some scattered debris.

The people from the inn had been obliterated by the fierce Qi Force as soon as the Heavenly Endless Treasure descended, leaving no trace behind.

Of course, among those obliterated, "Chasing Wind Divine Constable" Lu Qifeng definitely wouldn’t be one of them.

And even...

Luo Yan might not necessarily be dead either.

A gleam flashed in Qing Yu’s eyes, and in mid-air, a tremendous suction force erupted, drawing in endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi like a black hole.

A tremendous force gathered in his palm, and Qing Yu suddenly struck towards a crack in the ground.

"Boom—"

The dust rose again, and a figure abruptly burst out, speeding off into the distance.

It was Lu Qifeng.

The white Confucian robe he usually liked to wear had turned to ash gray, and his head was also dusted with dirt. Nevertheless, he disregarded everything else, a wild wind swirling around him as he leaped onto the rooftops, lifting countless tiles and various objects.

"Yan’er, hang in there!" Lu Qifeng constantly channeled True Qi into Luo Yan’s body in his arms, but it was in vain.

The healing effect of the True Qi from his "Wind Control" cultivation was poor. Although he could barely maintain Luo Yan’s life, his vitality inevitably ebbed away bit by bit.

"It’s all my fault..." Regret surged uncontrollably in Lu Qifeng’s mind.

Typically, due to the powerful surveillance from his "Wind Listening Technique," even if someone launched a sneak attack, Lu Qifeng would be able to react swiftly.

Only a warrior in the Divinity Realm could possibly launch a silent attack on him. And if a Divinity Realm wanted to kill him, why would they need to sneak attack?

Thus, Lu Qifeng could be said to be the least afraid of sneak attacks in the world.

But he hadn’t expected that today, someone could bypass his "Wind Listening Technique" and his inner alarms, not alerting him until the attack was imminent.

By then, Lu Qifeng could protect himself, but guarding Luo Yan, who was in the Innate Realm, proved difficult.

Wind is unpredictable; it emphasizes dodging, not defense, and even less so defending others.

The fact that Luo Yan was still breathing at this moment was already the utmost effort from Lu Qifeng as a master.

"Yan’er, your master will definitely save you," hope tinged with urgency flickered in Lu Qifeng’s eyes.

The famously wicked Doctor Evil lived in the north; given his speed, there was a strong possibility he could reach Doctor Evil’s hut before Luo Yan perished.

The prerequisite was that no one interfered.

Silent and unnoticeable, the cycle of life and death pervaded the air like a storm; suddenly, a fair hand reached in. The howling wind upon touching this hand was completely absorbed, and instead, it became an aid, propelling with the handprint toward Lu Qifeng’s head.

"Whoosh—"

The fierce wind dissipated, and Lu Qifeng, light as a feather, floated with the breeze, gracefully dodging the incoming palm from behind. At the same time, he stored wind force in his hand, executing a Wind-shocking Palm that enveloped and struck at the attacker from behind.

"Bang bang bang—"

To Lu Qifeng’s astonishment, the palm wind had hit its mark; the person was able to match his speed and attack him, yet couldn’t avoid the deliberately retreating palm force.

However, in the next moment, the howling palm winds enlightened him to the opponent’s intentions.

Undying Seven Illusions·Testing the Law.

The palm forces were all returned to Lu Qifeng, followed closely by countless finger shadows.

Undying Seven Illusions·Generalization.

Dense finger shadows overwhelmed the surroundings. Lu Qifeng used the Wind Listening Technique to discern positions, but felt that every move around him was solid, none were feints.

The unrivaled ’Wind Listening Technique’ had also made an error, causing even greater alarm in Lu Qifeng’s heart.

In reality, it wasn’t an error in the ’Wind Listening Technique’, but Lu Qifeng’s own senses had been deceived.

The Undying Seal Technique was essentially a Martial Arts Illusion Technique, designed to confuse and deceive the opponent. Lu Qifeng was overly reliant on his senses, especially his hearing, which presented Qing Yu with an opportunity.

"Get lost." A dominant wind force explosively burst forth; unable to discern the fake from the real, he attacked indiscriminately, repelling everything.

’As expected...’ An anticipated attack brought a smile to Qing Yu’s heart.

Lu Qifeng’s response was deemed the best solution, but this "best solution" assumed Qing Yu couldn’t disperse the wind force, and...

Lu Qifeng didn’t have another person in his arms.

With Luo Yan severely wounded and dying in his arms, how could Lu Qifeng recklessly unleash his wind force?

The countless finger shadows suddenly vanished, Qing Yu targeted Luo Yan in Lu Qifeng’s arms, transforming his fingers to a palm, striking toward Luo Yan.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Quick as lightning, Lu Qifeng intercepted with a backhand scoop, the wind force in his hand reversing, forming numerous small whirlwinds on his palm to meet the incoming palm toward Luo Yan.

The whirlwinds dissipated the force, the various small whirlwinds turned in different directions, completely dispersing Qing Yu’s palm force, even eradicating any residual force, preventing any possibility of harming the critically injured Luo Yan.

This ’Chasing Wind Divine Constable’, known for his intelligence methods, also possessed exceptional martial arts, not necessarily surpassing the murder-specializing ’Blood Hand Divine Capture’, but similar in capability.

Unfortunately...

Playing the game of dismantling and dissipating moves in front of Qing Yu was a mistake.

Undying Seven Illusions·Waiting for the Tired.

As the dispersed True Qi reassembled, Qing Yu’s palm shadows flew about, clashing with Lu Qifeng’s lightning-fast moves.

In a small space, in just a moment, palm shadows flew about, their hands appearing illusionary, real and unreal, constantly clashing.

However, Lu Qifeng seemed to have forgotten; he was holding onto Luo Yan with one hand, but Qing Yu had both his hands free.

A left fist from below, as if breaking through space, suddenly appeared beneath Luo Yan’s body.

True Qi deceiving the enemy, spiritual oppression.

The Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method subtly took effect, creating a sensory blind spot where Qing Yu’s punch devastatingly crushed Luo Yan’s body.

How could Luo Yan of the Innate Realm withstand Qing Yu’s fist—this punch generated a cloud of blood mist.
