Chapter 32: Destroying Three Sects in a Row (Part 2)
The Wangxing Mountains, where the Yusu Sect was located, were also severely damaged after the arrival of the marine monsters. However, unlike in the Guiyang Mountains, where the marine monsters searched every peak of the Xuanyang Temple, several important mining areas of the Yusu Sect in the Wangxing Mountains were not plundered, and their most vital cultivation resources were preserved. Naturally, Qiu Yu returned to the Wangxing Mountains with thirty Golden Core cultivators. After finding these mining areas, it could be considered a stroke of luck amidst disaster. At least now, the Yusu Sect had far better resources than the Xuanyang Temple and the Huoyue Sect, and its recovery speed would surely be faster than those two sects. In the future, it would be the Yusu Sect that ruled the Four Veins Continent of Cuimu Planet.
However, Qiu Yu didn’t know that the Xuanyang Temple and the Huoyue Sect had already been eliminated by Qu Yi. And now, Qu Yi had also arrived at the Wangxing Mountains, approaching the main peak of the Yusu Sect—the Xingyue Peak.
“Qu Yi, the Golden Core cultivators of the Yusu Sect have gone to ten peaks. Three of them are working together to restore those peaks. It seems the Yusu Sect intends to use these ten peaks as a base to rebuild its strength,” the Spirit of the Artifact sensed the area around Xingyue Peak and informed Qu Yi of the situation.
Since the Yusu Sect had retained many resources, it didn’t need to concentrate them on one peak, ensuring that the resource needs of all ten peaks could be met.
“I’m not interested in those Golden Core cultivators. Where are Qiu Yu and Elder Bingyu?” Qu Yi asked calmly.
Qiu Yu was in the early stage of the Yuan Ying phase, while Elder Bingyu was in the middle stage. Both practiced water-based cultivation techniques. These two were Qu Yi’s targets in the Wangxing Mountains. As for those Golden Core cultivators, they could be easily dealt with after Qiu Yu and Elder Bingyu were taken care of.
“Qiu Yu went to the spirit stone mining area, but Elder Bingyu is on Xingyue Peak, in deep meditation,” the Spirit of the Artifact replied indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi immediately asked, “Can we launch another surprise attack on Elder Bingyu, just like we did to Upper Master Qingyang?”
Qu Yi was proud of killing someone in the middle stage of the Yuan Ying phase with a single sword and wanted to experience it again.
“This time it’s different. Elder Bingyu’s water-based cultivation technique causes her entire body to be covered in a layer of transparent ice during meditation. If you want to assassinate her, you must first break through that ice layer. And during that time, Elder Bingyu will have enough time to redirect her spiritual energy and attack you,” the Spirit of the Artifact said softly.
Qu Yi was immediately stunned, imagining Elder Bingyu’s state at that moment—inside a large pavilion, surrounded by a giant transparent ice pillar, with the beautiful Elder Bingyu at its center. Such a water-based cultivation technique was indeed quite strange.
“Then there’s no way to deal with Ice Jade Supreme?” Qu Yi’s expression turned gloomy.
“Idiot, if you can’t launch a sneak attack, can’t you at least attack head-on? Go and get a ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ spirit talisman from Qing Wu Gui—it’s enough to take care of Ice Jade Supreme in one go,” the Artifact God shouted angrily.
Qu Yi was stunned for a moment before recalling that when Qing Wu Gui entered the Scatter Demon Cave, besides obtaining the “Asura Demon Canon,” he also got several spirit talismans, including the powerful ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ talisman.
The ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ talisman was crafted from the essence and blood of a Tiger Roar in the Outward Emergence stage, using its primordial embryo. Once activated, it was sufficient to deal with someone in the Initial Outward Emergence stage. Naturally, killing Ice Jade Supreme, who was in the Mid-Primordial Embryo stage, would be no problem either.
However, although Qu Yi knew Qing Wu Gui had this talisman, he was reluctant to ask for it, as using such a powerful talisman just to kill one Ice Jade Supreme seemed wasteful.
At that moment, Qing Wu Gui suddenly handed Qu Yi that very talisman—the ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ talisman.
“There’s no need for formalities between us. In the future, let’s go together to the Spirit Talisman Cave and obtain the manual for crafting talismans, so we can create even more powerful ones,” Qing Wu Gui said with a smile.
It turned out that when the Artifact God saw Qu Yi hesitating to ask for the talisman, it directly transmitted a message to Qing Wu Gui through spiritual communication.
Qu Yi received the talisman, nodded, and said with a smile, “Alright. Once I reach the later stage of the Golden Pill stage, we’ll go to Tianfeng Star to help you find the Spirit Talisman Cave.”
……
Ice Jade Supreme was practicing the “Frosty Art” on Star and Moon Peak. Suddenly, a speck of dust landed beside the ice pillar surrounding her, and then Qu Yi appeared in person.
“Ice Jade Supreme, long time no see. Your beauty hasn’t faded at all,” Qu Yi said, stepping out of his dimension sphere and starting to tease her.
Crack!
Hearing the sound, Ice Jade Supreme immediately regained her senses and stopped practicing the Frosty Art. The ice layer surrounding her body started to crack right away.
“Qu Yi, you’re quite bold to sneak into Star and Moon Peak alone. Is there some secret you want to share, or do you want to collaborate with me?” Ice Jade Supreme asked, her beautiful eyes glistening as she smiled at Qu Yi.
With his strength at the Mid-Gold Pill stage, Qu Yi’s presence on Star and Moon Peak surprised Ice Jade Supreme. She couldn’t imagine he was there to kill her, so she assumed he had some request of her.
“Collaborate?” Qu Yi looked shocked, equally amazed by Ice Jade Supreme’s strange assumption. He immediately replied with a smile, “Ice Jade Supreme, I’m here to kill you!”
So direct, so cold, so infuriating!
The expression on Bingyu Shangren’s face turned icy instantly, and it seemed as though the entire Xingyue Peak was about to freeze as well. She said coldly, “Qu Yi, I don’t know what you rely on, but since you said those words, I must make you die.”
When a beauty grows angry, her killing intent becomes even more resolute.
Unfazed by the growing chill, Qu Yi still smiled and said, “Bingyu Shangren, your Yuan Ying will be useful to me in the future, so you must die.”
Having reached the later stage of the Golden Dan phase, Qu Yi already had all the Water-type Golden Dans. He didn’t need Bingyu Shangren’s Yuan Ying now, but in the future, when he suddenly reached the early stage of Yuan Ying, it would be useful.
Bingyu Shangren’s expression grew even colder; her entire body seemed to have turned into ice, and she drew out her life treasure, the Ice Soul Sword.
“Arrogant! You can die now!” Bingyu Shangren swung her sword.
With icy skies, she unleashed her ultimate technique—turning the entire world into ice, trying to freeze the entire space, showing just how fierce her hatred for Qu Yi was.
But Qu Yi simultaneously activated the ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ talisman.
A silver-furred giant tiger, nearly a hundred meters in size, appeared abruptly and roared toward the sky, instantly dispelling the icy aura in the surrounding space. Then, thousands of massive crescent-shaped wind blades emerged across Xingyue Peak, each five meters long, forming a dense cluster as they swept toward Bingyu Shangren.
“What kind of talisman is this?” Bingyu Shangren panicked. She could sense the immense power of those thousands of wind blades—something even a being at the Yuan Ying stage couldn’t withstand.
At that moment, as she tried to flee, Bingyu Shangren suddenly realized how turbulent the surrounding space was—she couldn’t even teleport. Flying? How could her speed surpass those thousands of wind blades?
“The Ice and Snow Disintegration Technique!” Bingyu Shangren suddenly shouted resolutely.
Her body exploded, creating a powerful shockwave that just managed to block the thousands of wind blades. Her Yuan Ying, however, hid in the vacuum formed by the explosion, untouched by the external energy.
After activating the talisman, Qu Yi immediately hid inside his Dimensional Sphere, also sensing what was happening outside.
“Sigh, my strength is still a bit weak. I’m only at the middle stage of the Golden Dan phase. The power of this ‘Tiger Roar Across the Heavens’ talisman seems to be at the early stage of leaving the body, but it’s not fast or concentrated enough to prevent Bingyu Shangren from escaping this attack by exploding her body,” Qu Yi sighed.
Then, the Dimensional Sphere floated into the vacuum created by the explosion, and Qu Yi quickly stepped out of it.
“Qu Yi! How come you’re still alive?” The Yuan Ying of Lady Bingyu stared at Qu Yi in terror, thinking he had been killed outright by the intense energy collision.
“How could I die so easily?” Qu Yi smiled faintly.
In an instant, he used Wanli Cunjin to seize Lady Bingyu’s Yuan Ying before she could react, then unleashed the Five Elements True Fire to burn away her soul.
Soon, Lady Bingyu’s Yuan Ying was taken by Qu Yi and stored in his storage bracelet.
…
The violent energy fluctuations on Star Moon Peak affected an area of thousands of miles, and everyone from the ten peaks of the JadeSect Sect noticed it. All the cultivators at the Golden Core stage flew toward Star Moon Peak.
Qiu Yu, the sect leader, arrived first.
“Qu Yi, it’s you!” The moment Qiu Yu saw Qu Yi, he realized he was responsible for what had happened and became furious.
At the same time, he was worried—after all, Lady Bingyu was dead; could someone still in the early Yuan Ying stage survive?
Holding Lady Bingyu’s storage bracelet, Qu Yi laughed and said, “Qiu Yu, it’s really careless of you to keep the JadeSect Sect’s supplies in Lady Bingyu’s storage bracelet.”
Qiu Yu was even more shocked. Lady Bingyu was confirmed dead, and the crucial resources for the sect’s revival had been taken by Qu Yi—this was extremely bad news.
At that moment, Qiu Yu had an idea: use teleportation to kill Qu Yi and retrieve the storage bracelet.
“Qu Yi, you can die now,” Qiu Yu suddenly shouted before teleporting away.
Qu Yi on the peak also disappeared, entering the Cunjie Ball.
When Qiu Yu landed on the peak, he didn’t find Qu Yi and was shocked. Feeling danger, he wanted to leave immediately.
“Too late!”
Qu Yi reappeared, and Bai Man followed out of the Cunjie Ball. The puppet leopard, already prepared, unleashed “Wind-Bladed Thousand Blades.”
Qiu Yu had no choice but to draw his life treasure, the Cold Water Sword, and use the spell “Heavenly Rainfall” at full strength to barely block the thousand wind blades.
Qu Yi simply smiled easily, drew out his Jade Sword, and swung it once.
All his true energy was poured into the Jade Sword once again, unleashing its greatest power. A thumb-sized beam of light pierced straight into Qiu Yu’s body.
Undoubtedly, Qiu Yu, still struggling against “Wind-Bladed Thousand Blades,” could no longer resist the beam and died instantly.
The thirty Golden Core cultivators who had arrived on Star Moon Peak saw their sect leader killed and tried to flee in panic.
However, Bai Man released the Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes and Turtle Dragons, while Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui also took to the air to attack those at the Golden Core stage. It didn’t take long for all thirty Golden Core cultivators from the Yu Su Sect to be killed.
