Chapter 215 The Old Man Appears When the Road Is Broken

Two divine chains on Li Qingxu’s body broke one after another, bursting out like viscous rune light, blocking Qin Ming and knocking him back.

Li Qingxu felt a furious fire ignite in his chest, burning directly to his head. This demon was definitely doing it on purpose, targeting his head relentlessly.

In fact, Qin Ming didn’t make it so obvious. After beheading the enemy a few times, he changed targets and attacked vital areas such as the chest and abdomen.

Even though Li Qingxu was extremely indignant during the great battle, he did not utter a single word.

He felt he had disgraced his sect. As Cao Qianqiu’s last disciple, he was no match for a demon, who had driven him to this point, covered in blood. Making threats now would be meaningless.

However, he did not panic. The remaining divine chains on his body moved, penetrating his consciousness and connecting to the depths of his flesh and blood, and his power increased once again.

Li Qingxu was well aware of the consequences of all nine divine chains breaking apart. His eyes narrowed, revealing his murderous intent.

Qin Ming brandished his blade and charged straight at them. In the instant of their clash, they witnessed once again the unique skill created by Cao Ganqiu. The area was ablaze with vibrant colors, accompanied by a murderous intent as powerful as a raging storm.

With a snap, another of the Nine-Colored Divine Chain broke, and Li Qingxu was pierced through the abdomen by the Snake Sword. He was forced back, and half of his body was stained red with blood.

Four divine chains remained on his body.

However, Qin Ming’s expression turned serious, increasingly sensing that something was wrong with his opponent’s condition. Li Qingxu had clearly been severely injured several times, yet he remained remarkably calm.

The mountains were silent as the two gazed at each other.

A large amount of silver light rained up from Li Qingxu’s body, and the four divine chains inside his body clanged. His bleeding abdomen and chest wounds were healing.

A rustling sound came from above. Around him, there were patches of silver bamboo forest, and a light rain was falling. Above his head, there was lightning and thunder.

For a moment, this spectacle left all the onlookers in awe.

Everyone could see the problem: the four divine chains were vibrating, and then this strange sight appeared.

Then, a torrential rain fell on the battlefield, dark clouds pressed down, thunder roared, and lightning and silver bamboo on the ground intertwined.

This wasn’t a natural lightning strike that was attracted by the clouds, because the clouds were so close to the ground, practically within reach.

Even though Li Qingxu’s feather robes were stained with blood, he still appeared quite serene. He raised his bamboo staff and pointed it at his opponent. With a deafening roar, bolts of lightning flashed across the void, striking towards Qin Ming’s head.

In the secret realm, many people stood on the high mountains. Upon witnessing this scene, their expressions turned solemn. Li Qingxu’s ability to control lightning terrified them, and they knew they couldn’t withstand such a devastating attack.

No one expected that Qin Ming would also unleash lightning to directly confront it!

Beneath his feet, the earth’s energy surged, the fire roared, and the ground glowed red. He used the “Wu Ji” and “Li Huo Jing” to create earth fire, while in mid-air, the wind and thunder force, the five thunder force, and the purple palace thunder and fire force were resonating, forming heavenly thunder.

At the same time, he was circulating the “River Meridian,” which caused the heavenly lightning to ignite the earth’s fire. In fact, he could unleash lightning simply by using one or two of his energy techniques.

But now, Qin Ming has activated several extraordinary techniques, unleashing a terrifying surge in thunderous power.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared between the two boys, blinding light clashed, the ground turned black, and the nearby trees were shattered.

Crack! Finally, the dark clouds above Li Qingxu’s head were dispersed, and the lightning disappeared.

In this clash of lightning, neither of them was in a relaxed state, and each used other ingenious methods to defend themselves.

After Qin Ming unleashed those dense bolts of lightning, he used the Yin-Yang Black and White Light from the Dragon and Snake Scripture to block them. Then, the instant the lightning dissipated, he charged forward.

Li Qingxu was sent flying backward. This time, he was struck by the black and white light, coughed up blood, crashed into a large area of ​​trees, and broke another of the divine chains in his flesh and blood.

At this moment, on the high mountains in the secret realm, the people who were watching the battle with great tension gradually came to their senses. Every time Li Qingxu made a big show of force, he was always dealt a heavy blow in the end.

Many people who were originally in awe of his methods, after all, they were Cao Qianqiu’s signature techniques, but now they looked at him with a strange expression.

He always displayed incredible ethereal skill, unleashing all sorts of legendary ultimate moves, his charisma captivating all who beheld him. Yet, he lost every single time!

“That’s right. He considers himself a celestial being and has never lost in terms of pretentiousness, but he has never won a crucial battle in a duel.”

Some people couldn’t help but talk about it.

Even those who knew Li Qingxu couldn’t help but nod in agreement upon hearing this.

Back then, he lost the most important battle of his life to Li Qingyue, and missed out on the near-immortal artifact—the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Now, in the confrontation between the two paths, he has been repeatedly and severely injured by the youth on the demonic path.

“Li Qingxu is really tough!” someone exclaimed.

Many people noticed that he was suppressed from beginning to end, constantly injured but never retreated, and remained standing on the field.

The same sentiment was clear to them; those who had been mocking them moments before gradually fell silent. If it were them, they would probably be dead long ago.

It can only be said that it wasn’t that Li Qingxu was weak, but rather that the youth from the Demon Path was far more powerful! Li Qingxu swayed, his face ashen, and said, “This shouldn’t be happening. My master is Cao Ganqiu, how could I lose to a mere demon? I’ve disgraced him!” With a snap, this time he deliberately broke a divine chain!

Moreover, the dazzling divine chain was stained with his blood and covered with dense runes.

At the same time, Li Qingxu’s body glowed, and a large amount of light rain evaporated out, all of which entered the divine chain.

A phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The divine chain transformed into a blood phoenix, which suddenly soared up and swooped down towards Qin Ming, bringing with it boundless killing intent.

Qin Ming activated the original version of the “Dragon and Snake Scripture” of the demon race. The dragon blade in his hand was like a blazing sun, accompanied by rolling demonic energy. He cleaved the blood phoenix with his blade, and in an instant, dozens or even hundreds of blade lights were created, shattering it.

Although the Blood Phoenix was shattered, it did not disappear. It hovered above Qin Ming’s head, as if it had captured his aura and was marking him in some way.

Li Qingxu said, “If I lose next, I will accept it. I can only say that I did not master the secret technique passed down by my teacher.”

At this moment, the six divine chains that had broken earlier in his body all detached from him, rushed out, and decomposed in the void, with dense runes. They then reassembled into a rune bag with a large opening.

With a loud boom, it enveloped Qin Ming.

“The Myriad Talisman Bag, one of Cao Qianqiu’s trump cards!” Many people recognized this unique skill and were shocked. How could Li Qingxu have mastered it at such a young age? At this moment, even immortals and gods like Li Qingyue, Cui Chonghe, Zhao Yaoting, and Su Shiyun were paying close attention because this unique skill was too famous and its power shook the Night Mist World.

In the past, Cao Qianqiu encountered an extremely dangerous and formidable opponent, whom he captured in his Myriad Talisman Bag and refined into a cloud of blood mist. There are even rumors that a patriarch of the New Life Path was nearly captured in his Myriad Talisman Bag and severely injured when he went into seclusion in his later years.

Qin Ming did not dodge and was taken into the bag made of runes. Moreover, the broken blood phoenix reappeared and pounced on the bag of runes, binding and tightening the bag’s opening like a phoenix knot.

“Our demon race’s prodigy has been captured by the Myriad Talisman Bag… is he going to be refined?” a demon exclaimed in surprise. Even they had heard of Cao Ganqiu’s trump card, and today his disciple had actually displayed it. Li Qingxu made hand seals, his spiritual light surging, as he refined the Myriad Talisman Bag.

As soon as Qin Ming entered the bag, he felt waves of discomfort. Countless runes flickered, pressing towards him, trying to penetrate his flesh. Countless streams of light flowed from the bag, like knives and swords, constantly piercing through him.

The black and white dragon and snake pattern swirled around Tai Ming’s body, instantly blocking the erosion. “These runes don’t seem to be Li Qingxu’s aura.”

Qin Ming frowned. He had sensed something was wrong earlier, and now that inexplicable premonition resurfaced.

In any case, he has to get out first.

Those in the secret realm who were close to Li Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief and then cheered. After waiting for so long, they finally witnessed him turn the tide in adversity!

“He… he won’t get into trouble, will he?” Jiang Ruoli, Gan Jincheng and the others all looked solemn. Even Xin Youdao, who knew Qin Ming quite well, frowned deeply. After all, Cao Ganqiu’s Myriad Talisman Bag was too famous.

The road leading to Xiao Wu trembled, and he almost couldn’t resist taking action. However, he believed that Qin Ming should be able to get out of that predicament.

Since no one could see what was inside the Myriad Talisman Bag, Qin Ming naturally wouldn’t hold back and immediately used the Heavenly Light Force, a fusion of six extraordinary skills.

The dazzling fist light exploded like a sun, slamming into the Myriad Talisman Bag.

Then, everyone saw that the shrinking rune bag suddenly expanded, growing larger and larger, with dazzling golden light projected out.

Then, the whole bag exploded with a loud bang.

Qin Ming was unaware of the extent of the impact of his punch, because even if a strong individual in the same field managed to break free after being taken inside, they would still have to pay a considerable price.

As a result, he had just entered when he instantly struck out, shattering the Myriad Talisman Bag! This was absolutely astonishing! At this moment, even Cui Chonghe on the Immortal Path had his pupils contract and stared intently at this side, trying to see through it all.

The members of the esoteric sect, including Cai Jingcheng and Tang Yutian, also gazed in this direction with divine light in their eyes, hoping to see the truth. Li Qingyue’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a strange light as she gently moved her slender, snow-white hands, demonstrating a mysterious and profound technique.

Su Shiyun, Xue Yunzheng, Leng Feiyue, and the seeds on each path all began to watch attentively, no longer indifferent, but serious.

Li Qingxu couldn’t believe it and found it hard to accept. He said, “How is this possible? In a duel within the same domain, no one can break through my master’s ultimate technique like this!”

In the secret realm, atop various mountains, many were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with utter shock. What an incredibly powerful young demon was this! “I truly wish he had been born in Cao Qianqiu’s era. If he were here, he would have guaranteed to crush old Cao, and wouldn’t have allowed that old bastard to run rampant!”

Instantly, some demons’ emotions were ignited, becoming extremely excited. “Our demon race will rise to greatness!”

Qin Ming immediately realized that the power of his six extraordinary skills was too astonishing. It should have surpassed the Three Imperial Forces and was also stronger than the Golden Body Nirvana cultivator of the Tathagata Sect and the Heaven-Shaking cultivator of the Sky-Supporting Sect!

He immediately smiled faintly and said, “Old Cao’s trump card is naturally incredibly powerful, but as his disciple, you haven’t mastered it. The Myriad Talisman Bag is full of holes, with some places having intertwined cracks and even letting light through. It has serious flaws!”

As he spoke, he moved like a ghost traversing a sea of ​​night fog, instantly launching a final attack on Li Qingxu.

In front of everyone, he still used the “Dragon and Snake Scripture” every day. Yin and Yang energies flowed, black and white light shone, and a large dragon and a large snake flew out from his hands, crashing towards his opponent with tattered feather clothes.

Despite Li Qingxu’s best efforts, he simply couldn’t hold on any longer.

After several clashes, his consciousness was scorched by the extremely powerful and masculine aura of the opponent’s dragon, causing him unbearable pain and feeling as if he were about to be ignited.

At the same time, he was repeatedly struck by black and white light, his arm broke, his chest caved in, and the purple bamboo staff flew out of his hand. In just a few breaths, Li Qingxu’s leg bone broke, and his shoulder blade nearly exploded.

Even his forehead had been struck by the black and white light, leaving a noticeable crack. Countless bones throughout his body were broken, and his flesh was a bloody mess.

No one expected that the demon boy would become stronger and stronger as the battle progressed, and in the final stage he began to sweep away his opponents with overwhelming force, not giving the immortal seed a chance to breathe. Was he going to destroy them?

“Isn’t it said that those who dare to pioneer new paths will be protected and safe?” Those who were close to Li Qingxu asked anxiously.

On the demon side, many people shouted: “That’s great! This is the peerless genius of our demon race! What immortal seed? Suppress him! Kill him to pieces!”

“This young demon is truly exceptionally gifted. Even a celestial being like Li Qingxu was suppressed to such an extent. Who can restrain him?” Many disciples from outside the sect were deeply shaken.

“Alas, it’s come to this. My Nine Dragons Nourishing Body Technique has been broken by you.” Li Qingxu spat out a mouthful of blood and deliberately snapped the last two divine chains.

“I don’t care if you’re a nine-dragon or a nine-worm!” Qin Ming activated the black and white light, sending Li Qingxu flying again, almost tearing his body apart completely, with some wounds so deep that light could see through them.

At that moment, Li Qingxu’s immortal path snapped with a loud bang and then completely collapsed.

But at that very moment, after all nine divine chains broke, a pure yang light burst forth from his body, terrifyingly powerful, instantly transforming into the image of an old man.

“I…” Qin Ming wanted to shout “Crush the mud!” because after he broke through Li Qingxu and all nine divine chains were broken, he actually saw Cao Qianqiu!

(There’s more to come!)
