Chapter 93

In the pitch-black desert, a thick night fog surged.

Qin Ming fought desperately, unleashing his strongest strike, accompanied by a dazzling light like the burning sun. Blood splattered, and a crystalline finger clearly fell to the ground.

“Ah…” The woman let out a painful scream. The faint golden light flowing through her body thinned out. She retreated quickly, her veil trembling violently, which shows how she felt.

Qin Ming strode across the yellow sand like a gentle breeze, swiftly catching up with her. Holding the pure white, jade-like blade, he swung it at the woman once more.

At this moment, his face was handsome but extremely cold and stern, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his black hair flew backward, bringing the “Flying on Grass” movement technique to its limit, as if he were flying on the yellow sand.

The masked woman was shocked, angry, ashamed, and indignant. In her eyes, the young man, who was not even qualified to be selected as a golden-armored guard, had seriously injured her right away.

Her slender hand had four fingers severed, leaving only a lone thumb stained with blood.

Moreover, she also had a wound on her chest and abdomen, which had been cut open by the snow-white blade, and blood had flowed all over the ground as she retreated.

This was the most severe trauma she had ever suffered in her life.

What’s even more terrifying is that the boy is now as fierce as a tiger. Without saying a word, he chases after the enemy until they are close, and his speed is so fast that it makes people very wary.

Her brow glowed, and a radiant peach blossom bloomed before her, blocking the attack.

A bright red peach blossom, though carrying extraordinary power, was still shattered by the pure white blade. The blade grazed her body, her black clothes were torn, her inner armor was partially broken, and she almost bled again.

The woman in black, masked and indignant, felt that the other party had caused her too many surprises. How could a young man who was running around in remote places with a blood-stained hammer have such a mutton fat jade iron knife?

She could sense that it wasn’t made of alloy, but pure jade iron; the blade was flawless and without any impurities.

As she opened her mouth, she spat out a dazzling rain of light, like a series of flying knives, which struck the boy who approached like a gentle breeze and lightning.

Qin Ming pushed his Heavenly Light Force to its limit, his whole body was filled with light, and the long sword in his hand vibrated continuously, slashing out layer after layer of snow-white sword light, like layers of waves piling up, surging and violently crashing forward.

This rare jade-iron knife has many wonderful features, one of which is that it can bear the light of heaven, allowing the energy of heavenly light from a newborn to spread along the blade.

Now, Qin Ming, exuding a chilling aura, unleashed his sword intent, as if cleaving the boundary between the sea and the sky. Heavy white waves rose up, crashing against the shore, sweeping across the night sky, and scattering the rain of light.

The woman in black was shocked. How could this young man’s Heavenly Light Force be so domineering? It could shatter the golden rain of light she unleashed, and it even had the power to burn paper in flames!

Her heart pounded. How could this be a boy who had grown up alone and wildly in a remote place?

In her mind, only a few lineages on the path of rebirth possessed the unfathomable power of the Heavenly Light, but it was absolutely impossible for them to appear here.

The night fog was thick and swirling. Qin Ming walked with his sword in hand, not uttering a word, and unleashed a series of dazzling sword strikes. He seemed to possess the demeanor of a young grandmaster, which made the woman’s mind waver.

With a soft thud, she was stabbed in the shoulder again. Although it was only a slight scratch, the fine gold inner armor under her black clothes was torn open, as if it were made of paper and could not withstand the jade iron knife.

Blood flowed out, and her arm throbbed with pain. At that moment, the boy in her eyes was radiant, as if he were shrouded in a divine light, and his entire demeanor was different. If he hadn’t committed the crime, he would have appeared even more otherworldly.

If she were an outsider, she would have been unable to resist glancing at him and praising him. But now she was filled with resentment and anger. This young man had clearly become more confident and had developed an insatiable fighting spirit because he had injured her repeatedly!

The woman in black had a murderous glint in her eyes. She managed to catch her breath, and it seemed as if flames were rising from between her brows, emitting a blinding light.

This was the manifestation of her conscious power, constantly urging it on, even disregarding the consequences, even at the cost of severely damaging her vital energy. Then, the two artifacts on her body floated up.

A small black shield, scorched by fire, stood in front of her, blocking Qin Ming’s slash.

A dull thud was heard, and a terrible knife mark appeared on the small black shield.

This was a treasure bestowed upon her by her elders, and it was damaged as soon as it was unveiled!

She felt incredibly heartbroken; this was a spirit that could grow alongside her.

Beside her was a small black spear, about the length of a chopstick, also seemingly having been struck by lightning and fire, its entire body charred black. It floated in the air, emitting a faint golden glow, and was aimed at the increasingly radiant young man in front of her.

Qin Ming abruptly sheathed his sword and quickly retreated more than ten meters, then stood there calmly and composedly, now appearing unhurried.

Because he saw that the woman was struggling to activate the two objects that looked like they had been pulled out of a fire, and most importantly, her wounds were bleeding continuously, so time was on his side.

From the moment he fiercely drew his sword and unleashed that strongest blade of light, to the rapid follow-up slashes that followed, it took only two breaths.

All confrontations occur extremely quickly, and such battles can often determine life and death in an instant.

After Qin Ming’s four rebirths, his perception has greatly improved. Now, even in the dark desert, he can see the scenery clearly within a certain range.

The masked woman felt deeply humiliated after being severely injured by a newcomer. In her eyes, her peers on this naive and immature path were meant to be her protectors, yet she had suffered a terrible loss at the hands of such a person.

She not only felt excruciating pain from her wounds, but also a sense of unease, as if she had been struck on the heart.

As a woman, she naturally cared a lot about her image, and she actually lost four fingers!

“This is the darkest and most humiliating day I have ever experienced!” she gritted her teeth, the wound on her chest and abdomen wriggling and glowing faintly before temporarily closing.

Her shoulders and lower body were already covered in bright red blood.

Qin Ming understood what she meant; she was looking down on people on the path of new life. He calmly replied, “Arrogant and self-important, just a bunch of bumpkins!”

He doesn’t usually resort to insults, but if someone uses offensive language, he will definitely not be polite.

“You…” The woman’s face contorted with rage, and the veil covering her fell off, revealing a beautiful but ashen face.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the words “local chicken” provoked her. She pointed at Qin Ming and said, “I’ll show you soon what the difference between immortals and mortals is!”

“Are you praising me?” Qin Ming looked at the hand she was pointing at.

The woman followed his gaze and saw that the four severed fingers had been stopped with her golden cinnabar, leaving only a lone thumb standing there.

She immediately broke down, because it looked to her as if she were giving the other person a thumbs up.

As someone who lives outside the secular world, she considers herself extraordinary and detached from worldly affairs, but now she couldn’t help but utter a curse, otherwise she would have suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

Qin Ming’s eyes were deep. He knew very well that at this level, he wouldn’t lose his composure. It was one thing for the woman to break down, but he also wanted to actively stall for time.

Because the golden mist she activated with her consciousness could heal injuries.

Most importantly, there is a mysterious golden-armored guard in the distance, probably nearing the desert. If they are found here, the situation will change again.

“Your four fingers haven’t been on the ground long enough to reattach them. Don’t you want them anymore?” Qin Ming drew his knife and leaped more than ten meters towards the severed fingers.

The woman in black panicked. She had lured the boy away to get rid of him before reattaching her severed finger, but who knew that this handsome young man would start threatening her.

She was not very old, but she was extremely concerned about whether she was physically disabled, even to the point of considering it a matter of life and death. Therefore, she immediately chased after him with red eyes.

With a whoosh, a flash of light, and she saw the boy lift up a severed finger that was once as clear as jade but was now stained with blood and yellow sand.

“Put it down!” Her eyes widened in anger as she activated the charred shield and the chopstick-length black spear, launching a swift attack.

“Alright!” Qin Ming listened to the advice and threw the severed finger that was resting on the blade onto the yellow sand. It was unharmed, and he immediately swung the blade at her.

He didn’t need to do anything drastic, because the woman was already in a state of panic. Fighting in this area was enough, and he had the whole rhythm under control.

Qin Ming activated his mutton-fat jade iron sword, which could pierce through the opponent’s golden glow and strike the black shield several times, shattering it with a bang.

The woman in black was terrified. This was a treasure bestowed upon her by her sect, and yet one of them had been destroyed. It wasn’t just because the Jade Iron Knife was special, but also because the opponent’s Heavenly Light Force was too abnormal and posed a great threat to her. Her consciousness had only just begun to manifest when it was cleaved in two.

Her brow glowed, and wisps of lotus-like golden mist flew out, wrapping around the small black spear and attacking the increasingly terrifying boy.

After several collisions, the charred spear became dull, and the gold threads wrapped around it were scattered!

“Clang!”

Qin Ming cut the small spear, about the length of a chopstick, in half, causing it to fall to the ground and become unusable.

“The weapon forged from the spiritual root that had withstood the baptism of heavenly light has been destroyed…” The woman’s face was bloodless, and she staggered backward, knowing that she had been utterly defeated this time.

With a soft thud, she couldn’t dodge in time, and her left arm was severed, flying bloody onto the sandy ground to the side.

She gave a bitter laugh, knowing that she couldn’t escape this fate today.

“We who live a life of simple pleasures, so different from you mortals and immortals, are about to die here.”

The woman in black had awakened the light of her mind multiple times in the Xinzhai realm, and was not far from the second major realm. She had not been defeated by the Tantric practitioners, but was about to die at the hands of the newcomers. She was extremely unwilling.

If we compare Xinzhai to a new student, she has awakened far more times than Qin Ming, who has only been a new student four times.

At this moment, Qin Ming’s entire body was flowing with the power of heavenly light, revealing the brilliant spirit of a young man full of fighting spirit. His eyes, eyebrows, and even every hair on his body were glowing.

“Those who still eat grains dare to claim there’s a difference between immortals and mortals?” He swung his sword, not wanting to waste even a moment.

The woman fought back with all her might, a light emanating from between her brows, a lotus flower blooming and burning fiercely, flying outwards.

However, even such a manifestation of conscious power could not withstand Qin Ming’s slash imbued with the power of heavenly light. The lotus flower was shattered, and the tip of the blade sliced ​​through her fair forehead, splattering blood everywhere.

The woman, deathly pale, collapsed to the ground, her forehead fractured. Overwhelmed with terror, she finally stammered, “I don’t want to die, please…”

“Who sent you?” Qin Ming asked.

The woman suddenly fell silent again.

“Then let’s go.” Qin Ming slashed with his knife, and her head rolled off, blood gushing out, her body falling onto the yellow sand.

“Master Qin has divine talent, capable of slaying immortals. I suddenly feel… I can hold out to the end!” Yu Que peeked out from the night mist and muttered softly, “There’s also a golden-armored guard. Shouldn’t that make things easier?”
