Chapter 174 Qin Ming is instantly killed

This was a desperate situation for Qin Ming, an unprecedented life-or-death ordeal. Even the rare gold, a material close to immortality, could not penetrate the old woman’s skull.

But he himself was already covered in blood!

During his sixth rebirth, a strange light was born within him. Regardless of his own condition, even if he was extremely weak, he could still unleash a powerful attack, equivalent to his peak strike, which was related to the celestial light.

Unfortunately, after using it once, it takes him a long time to restore that light.

During his seventh rebirth, a golden glow appeared within his body, resembling the sun shattered and mixed with light and mist, much like the pure yang consciousness and spiritual light.

The two types of light within him bloomed one after the other, which can be considered a relay attack.

Just now, the golden light within Qin Ming’s body, like a reborn golden sun, pierced through the dark clouds. He used the “Pure Yang Blazing Sun” sword technique to thrust the pure white sword-shaped pendant deep into the old woman’s forehead. Even with his utmost effort, he could only push it in slightly, unable to truly pierce her skull!

Similarly, this seventh “scorching sun” can only last for a moment, and after it has been used once, it will take a long time to recover.

Qin Ming sighed, put away the strange gold sword, and used the last bit of pure yang energy to slash the old woman’s body.

During this process, his body was covered in terrifying cracks, both above and below, until light could see through him from front to back; he was essentially torn apart.

Qin Ming was instantly defeated!

He used the strange metal sword, but he couldn’t even hurt the old woman. And this was under duress.

Qin Ming did not activate his Heavenly Light Force; he used his special ability without any warning, making it impossible for anyone to defend against.

In the early stages, most of these accompanying “abilities” are rather useless.

He has developed two extraordinary abilities, each equivalent to his strongest attack!

The old woman was only inches away from him. She hadn’t released the light beforehand, and she was initially hit, but her body reacted instinctively, instantly changing the course of the battle.

The strange metal weapon, which was said to be able to break through heavenly light and divine wisdom, was actually useless at the moment. It was neutralized by the old woman’s body instinct and blocked in an instant.

However, Qin Ming’s two abilities did have some effect in controlling the alien metal sword, as it did initially pierce the man’s forehead.

The old woman screamed in agony, her vision momentarily going black, though her instinctive reaction “instantly killed” her opponent and protected herself from further injury.

But the brain is different from other parts of the body; in the brief moment she loses consciousness, many things can happen. For example, she might have already fallen from the clouds!

Qin Ming gave a bitter laugh, feeling like he was about to die. Was this the oppressive feeling of the third realm? He exerted all his strength, yet it was still like an ant trying to shake a tree.

This was still an old woman at the initial stage of the Spirit Realm, who had made no further progress after entering this realm, and could hardly be shaken no matter how much she attacked. Qin Ming’s blood stained the clouds and mist as he fell rapidly.

His body was covered with hundreds of cracks, like a fine porcelain piece that had been shattered and then pieced back together.

He was indeed torn apart just now. At the last moment, he used the sticky force to forcibly bind his physical body, preventing it from disintegrating and maintaining his human form.

Otherwise, there would probably be many pieces of flesh and blood scattered in the sky, falling down.

Qin Ming realized that his silk calligraphy, which integrated various celestial energys and incorporated a portion of spiritual light, was not useless; in fact, it possessed a certain “divine” quality.

For example, last time, his power of heavenly light merged with his spiritual consciousness, becoming inseparable, and together they entered the giant centipede’s divine kingdom.

As it is now, his body has been almost completely dismembered and torn to pieces. If it were any other Heavenly Light Force, its circulation would be disrupted, and he would have been powerless to reverse the situation, inevitably resulting in his body exploding and dying a tragic death.

Qin Ming’s divine light, fused with divine wisdom and spiritual light, was like a part of his flesh and spirit, and could still be used, thus sticking to his shattered body.

However, his condition was extremely bad!

At this moment, he was on the verge of despair, and he could already see the abyss of death descending into which most of his body had fallen.

“You beast!” the old woman roared in the night sky, her face distorted and terrifying, blood streaming down her forehead.

Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, she realized that a dignified expert at the Spirit Realm had been injured by a newcomer. Her consciousness went “black” for a moment, and she fell from the clouds.

This was a disgrace to her, like a lion being tripped by a grasshopper and falling face-first into a bloody mess.

“You old bastard!” Qin Ming gritted his teeth, never having felt such resentment before. The Cui family was like a haunting ghost, constantly appearing around him and posing a deadly threat.

At the same time, he felt ashamed and powerless.

He was instantly killed by the opponent’s spiritual energy and the instinctive outward projection of heavenly light, and was blasted away a great distance.

It’s better that we’re so far apart; otherwise, once the old woman regains consciousness, even if she’s in the night sky, she would grab him immediately and exact a bloody revenge.

The only part of Qin Ming that is still intact is his head, because at the crucial moment, he used that tattered cloth to shield his head.

Furthermore, he was significantly taller than the old woman, so when her spiritual energy and divine light surged forth, her head wasn’t shattered. “I guess I’ve died once!”

Qin Ming was in excruciating pain all over his body. His flesh and blood were forcibly pieced together. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Light Force that fused with consciousness, spiritual light, and divine wisdom, he would have disintegrated at any moment.

“Qin Ming, you’re quite good. You’re worthy of being raised by my Cui family. You managed to hurt me even in the newborn realm. Alright, let’s have a good ‘chat’ on the ground!” The old woman had recovered and was fine. The strange gold sword had pierced her forehead, but it wouldn’t kill her. At this moment, her eyes were like lightning as she saw the young man in the distance.

She was hunched over, her expression sinister and cold, staring intently in their direction.

“Your Cui family has caused me so much pain, and you still have the audacity to do so. I’ve remembered it all!” Qin Ming muttered weakly to himself. He didn’t want to pay any attention to the old woman; true power couldn’t shake the Cui family, so saying anything was useless.

“Whether you live or die, you bear the mark of the Cui family. We raised you, and we could treat you as a young master before, and we can treat you as a ‘house-born son’ in the future. Do you think you can break free?”

The old woman emphasized the words “born son of a family” so much that Qin Ming was enraged. Not only did she target him, but she also insulted his family.

“A fight to the death!” Qin Ming spat out these four words, another trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. The old woman sneered and said, “See you on the ground!”

She reached for her parachute, glancing coldly in their direction. However, the next moment she was horrified to realize something terrible had happened!

Immediately, she screamed in horror, “No!”

She opened the umbrella, but what appeared was a tattered net. Was this still an umbrella? It was a fishing net, completely unusable.

“Ah!” she screamed shrilly, her face filled with despair. What could she do?

“You!” She realized something, looked at the other person, and two silver lightning bolts shot out from her old eyes. She saw that the other person was showing her a cold smile in pain.

“Seeing you like this, I’m relieved.” Qin Ming’s voice came from above, his parachute already open.

He and Li Qingyun had a similar experience of falling from a bird, and he still has psychological trauma from it, so he brought several extra parachutes. In fact, that’s exactly why he was able to save his life this time.

All the other parachutes on his body were shattered, except for the one on his head, which he now painfully wore.

After this incident, Qin Ming’s psychological trauma from falling into the air intensified several times over.

The old woman was terrified and desperate. Even though she was a master of the Spirit Realm, she couldn’t withstand such a fall and would die a very tragic death.

She realized that the moment her consciousness returned, the other party, unable to pierce her body with the strange metal sword, instead shredded her escape parachute.

“Who can save me?!” Even a master of the Spirit Realm is just an ordinary person, capable of fear and dread. In the final moments, she was no different from any other person.

In the night fog, besides the old woman disappearing, a five-colored bottle was also nowhere to be seen. That bottle contained the Heavenly Light Liquid!

He looked away, unsure if he would survive. He had never been so badly injured before.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Ming clearly discovered that all the bones in his limbs and torso were broken, not a single one intact. Most horrifyingly, his internal organs had also been torn apart and split into many pieces.

Although he was pieced together, his physical functions and once vigorous vitality had plummeted to rock bottom.

Overall, when the opponent’s spiritual field and heavenly light expanded, it felt as if he was being torn apart by a pair of giant hands, or as if he had been slashed by many knives.

His body was covered with no fewer than a hundred open wounds, crisscrossing each other. How could a normal newborn survive? “I still have so many things to do. If I die like this, my life will be full of regrets,” he whispered.

But the cruel reality was right in front of him: his heart was shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and even if it were pieced back together, it would only be twitching slightly. How could he possibly go on living like this?!

Qin Ming felt bitter and desperate. Those past scenes flashed before his eyes, those people, those events, all like an electric shock, passing through his mind.

It is said that when a person is about to die, their entire life experiences rush by in an instant, and he felt that he might have reached that point. “Grandpa, even now, I don’t know where you went or whether you are still alive.”

“Parents, I have no recollection of them at all. I don’t know if they’re still alive. I may have passed away before you.” “The Cui family, get out! Don’t waste my last precious moments!”

“Shuangshu Village, alas, I can never go back.”

“Uncle Meng, Master Li, I have let you down. I am just a newcomer who has not made a single ripple on this path.”

“Qingyue, be careful of the other immortal species in the Pure Land, and those shameless seniors. I hope you can rise to the top of the immortal path, but it seems I will never see that day.”

“Ning Siqi, you must become a god! Li Qingxu, it’s a pity I didn’t have the chance to smash your dog’s head in. Cui Chonghe, you’ll never become an immortal, it’s a shame I didn’t have time to visit the Cui family and fight you…”

Qin Ming was landing, still conscious, but his body was about to give out. He used his special Heavenly Light Force to keep it from falling apart.

His heart, spleen, liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs were shattered into many pieces. Even if they were pieced back together, there would be no improvement; they had completely stopped functioning. How could he possibly live? Death was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.

He tried various methods; while the “Fate-Changing Classic” could extend lifespan, its effects were not immediate. (Search for books at Xiuting)

The internal refining method of thunder and fire is out of the question; his body cannot withstand such nourishment. More importantly, doing so might kill him instantly, his body exploding. As for the silk calligraphy, it seems there’s nothing that can be done at the moment.

In the night fog, he caught a glimpse of a crystalline, intoxicating blue light, which immediately made his chest feel heavy; it was the mineral he had preserved for a long time.

He fell into a crevice in Black and White Mountain, was exposed to sunlight, his whole body turned black, and he almost died. He found this item on a nearby corpse.

During the initial stage, as long as the person is under nine years old, taking it for the first time can improve their physique and give them a 50% chance of being reborn, depending entirely on luck.

Therefore, Qin Ming retained it until now in order to maximize its effectiveness.

This is mainly because he had not lacked the regeneration of spiritual matter before.

Moreover, Qin Ming’s body also has its limits. Although he was not stopped by the hurdle of only being able to regenerate five times a year, he has not yet “recovered” after his seventh rebirth.

Now, the thumb-sized crystal bottle shattered, spilling blue liquid, which he then bound to his body with an adhesive force. “I haven’t even tasted it yet!” Qin Ming was truly unwilling; should he drink it now?

However, mineral supplements must be taken when the body is in its best condition, otherwise they may have the opposite effect and cause harm. He was afraid to take them when he was seriously ill because of this.

His heart had stopped beating. He checked carefully and found that his lungs had also stopped functioning; he was no longer breathing! This made Qin Ming’s expression freeze. Had he died physically?

He felt his facial expressions go numb; was he about to completely lose consciousness? This was truly a devastating and desperate outcome.

“I’d rather just give you a quick death!”

Qin Ming realized that the reason he hadn’t died immediately was probably related to the various purple mists, golden rays, and silver lights he had absorbed on that mountain. Wisps of light and mist swirled within his body.

“Hmm, what’s that?” Suddenly, he saw a “silver disc” hanging in the distance! This… how could it be so similar to the moon described in ancient books?

He was stunned. Where was he?

Shortly after, Qin Ming landed. Although he had a parachute, the impact caused him to bleed profusely again, almost bursting open once more. He lay on the ground, his heart not beating, not breathing, looking at the surrounding scenery. He felt like he was in a dream; there really was a moon in the distance.

The area was bathed in the hazy, bright moonlight, completely different from the dark world he usually saw! “Where am I?” Qin Ming asked, his face full of confusion as he lay dying.

(There’s more to come!)
