Chapter 62: A Display of Divine Might (Part 2)
Within the Law Enforcement Team, a Guardian, three Hall Masters, and He Yingjian—a prodigy of the third-generation disciples—all stood as witnesses!
In a situation like this, right and wrong no longer mattered. Even if Li Qiye could talk his way out of anything, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name. Even with a hundred mouths, he couldn’t wash away the crime of betraying his sect and murdering his elders.
What was truly terrifying was that Guardian Hu was Elder Cao’s eldest disciple! And it went without saying that the three Hall Masters present were also from Elder Cao’s faction.
Recalling how Li Qiye had taught He Yingjian a lesson a few days prior, Luo Fenghua and the others instantly realized this was a terrifying trap. They couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for Li Qiye. This time, he was so thoroughly framed that he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Team instantly surrounded Li Qiye, and their leader was none other than He Yingjian.
"For insubordination, for betraying the sect and your master, and for treason against the clan—the punishment is death without mercy!" He Yingjian stared coldly at Li Qiye, his eyes shimmering with a terrifying killing intent.
Li Qiye smirked. Before he could make a move, Li Shuangyan let out a cold snort and stepped forward. The moment she did, her Blood Qi surged to the heavens like an awakening Divine Phoenix, and the frosty aura emanating from her instantly seemed to freeze the very air for miles.
The moment Li Shuangyan stepped out, He Yingjian couldn’t help but shudder, subconsciously taking two steps back. Although he was considered a genius of the Xiyan Ancient Sect, he was nothing compared to Li Shuangyan.
It wasn’t just He Yingjian who shuddered; even the three Hall Masters and Guardian Hu felt their hearts pound. She was, after all, the successor of the Nine Saints Demon Gate and the princess of the Ancient Ox Territory. Hers was not an unearned reputation. As a Heavenly Pride Girl, she was renowned throughout the entire Great Middle Realm.
"Princess Li, this is an internal affair of our Xiyan Ancient Sect. We are dealing with a traitor. I hope you will reconsider and not involve yourself in our sect’s matters." Guardian Hu licked his lips. The thought of his backer gave him a bit of courage, and he spoke in a deep voice.
Li Shuangyan’s beautiful eyes turned cold, her Dao intent instantly sharp as a sword. For her, making an enemy of the Xiyan Ancient Sect was of no concern.
At this moment, however, Li Qiye chuckled. With narrowed, smiling eyes, he said, "Since someone insisted on me making an appearance, I might as well say a few words. If I don’t get my hands a little bloody, people will really start to think I’m some kind of saint. Shuangyan, stand down."
Li Shuangyan gave Li Qiye a cold look but said nothing, stepping back to stand behind him.
Seeing Li Shuangyan obey Li Qiye’s every word sent a tidal wave of jealousy through He Yingjian, driving him mad. In his heart, Li Shuangyan was a celestial fairy, a divine maiden. Yet, she had never once given him a proper look, and now she was hanging on the every word of this useless bum.
Li Qiye stepped forward and looked at He Yingjian with a smile. "I don’t care what kind of conspiracy or scheme you’ve cooked up, or who your backer is. Since things have come to this, if I don’t kill a few people, you’ll really think I’m just some pushover you can squeeze whenever you like."
"He betrayed his master and his sect! Everyone has the right to execute such a person! Go, kill this traitor!" He Yingjian barked, ordering the surrounding Law Enforcement Team disciples.
"Traitor, surrender now!" the encircling disciples of the Law Enforcement Team shouted in unison, instantly summoning their Treasure Artifacts and slashing directly at Li Qiye.
Every disciple attacked viciously. They aimed to kill with their Treasure Artifacts from the very first move. This wasn’t an attempt to capture him alive; they intended to execute him on the spot.
"Scram—" The smile vanished from Li Qiye’s face, his eyes turning instantly cold. In a flash, he shot into the air. His body moved like a great roc, soaring upward as if the vast sky was his to command. He ascended into the air, using incredible footwork to dodge the Treasure Artifacts slashing at him.
BOOM! A massive explosion rocked the area. In the split second that Li Qiye dodged the artifacts, he lashed out with his entire body. The move completely defied the conventions of strength. In that instant, Li Qiye was like a colossal Giant Kūn, whipping its tail to send the entire ocean surging ten thousand feet into the air!
With the divine might of the Giant Kūn, a deafening blast followed. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Team were completely unable to withstand such a titanic wave. Under the force of the powerful impact, they all violently spat out blood and were sent flying.
"’The ultimate mystical meaning of the Kunpeng Six Forms—’" The moment Li Qiye attacked, the eyes of the three Hall Masters and the Guardian narrowed. Although the Kunpeng Six Forms was considered an Emperor’s Ultimate Technique, comprehending its final mystical meaning required even the most talented disciples decades of accumulation and enlightenment!
Li Qiye was able to switch freely between the forms of the Celestial Roc and the Giant Kūn as he moved. It was simply too terrifying.
Having sent the Law Enforcement Team disciples flying with a single blow, Li Qiye landed back on the ground. He smiled and looked at He Yingjian. "Are you going to come at me alone, or are you and the Hall Masters and Guardian coming together?"
"Don’t get cocky! Even if you’ve comprehended the ultimate mystical meaning, it’s just a petty trick." He Yingjian’s gaze turned cold as he roared, "Today, I’ll show you what a truly great technique looks like!" As his words fell, he spat out thirty-six swords that instantly formed a sword array. With a murderous, all-encompassing aura, the array trapped Li Qiye inside.
"The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation—" Upon seeing this sword array, Luo Fenghua and the others who had heard of this technique turned pale with horror.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was created by an Ancient Saint-level ancestor of the Xiyan Ancient Sect. It was not just an Ancient Saint-level Cultivation Technique, but also an Ancient Saint-level array of immense power.
None of the disciples from Washing Stone Valley had expected that He Yingjian, a third-generation disciple, would actually be qualified to cultivate such a technique!
Even Li Shuangyan’s gaze hardened as she stared at He Yingjian’s sword array. She was an expert in this field and could tell at a glance that He Yingjian hadn’t comprehended even a tenth of the array’s true power. Nevertheless, its might was still terrifying, as it was, after all, an Ancient Saint-level sword array.
Trapped within the sword array, Li Qiye simply smiled. In an instant, he moved with the power of a dragon and the grace of a tiger, dodging the sharp edges of the thirty-six swords. Holding a Qimen Saber in each hand, he sent them flying. With a series of CLANG—CLANG—CLANG sounds, the Qimen Sabers struck the weak points of the thirty-six swords, knocking the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Swords off course.
This scene left the three Hall Masters and the Guardian in disbelief. Qimen Sabers forged from Mortal Iron had clashed with Treasure Artifacts and emerged completely unscathed. It was simply incredible.
"Heavenly Gang Trapping Earth!" he roared, unleashing the sword array’s Killing Form.
ZING—ZING—ZING— In an instant, a boundless ocean of Sword Radiance poured down, whistling through the air. As the Sword Radiance descended, anything it touched was instantly riddled with holes. The radiance slashed toward Li Qiye with irresistible force.
With such a powerful Sword Force, even a Golden Body and Copper Body would be unable to block it, let alone Li Qiye’s body of flesh and blood.
WHOOSH— In that split second, just as it seemed Li Qiye’s body was about to be shredded by the Sword Radiance, his Life Palace materialized above him. A fist-sized Kunpeng leaped up from it, as if soaring through the Nine Heavens and across the ten wildernesses.
In that instant, Li Qiye’s speed became unbelievable. Just as the Sword Radiance was about to strike him, his body moved like a Kunpeng, and with a single leap, he jumped out of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation at an incredible speed!
"Celestial Transformation! The Kunpeng Six Transformations—" Seeing him instantly leap out of the sword array, the knowledgeable Guardian Hu’s face changed drastically. He was utterly horrified!
In a flash, Li Qiye had already leaped in front of He Yingjian. The Qimen Sabers glinted coldly as he swung them from both sides, aiming straight for He Yingjian’s head!
He Yingjian, truly worthy of his title as a genius of the Xiyan Ancient Sect, was terrified. As his expression changed, a series of CLANG, CLANG, CLANG sounds rang out. At this critical juncture between life and death, his body was covered by Divine Armor.
PFFT— The Divine Armor on He Yingjian’s body was of extraordinary origin, but it was still sliced open by the Qimen Sabers. He Yingjian felt a cold sensation on his neck as trickles of fresh blood dripped down. His head had nearly been separated from his body!
If he hadn’t been wearing the Divine Armor, that strike would have undoubtedly killed him. The close call scared He Yingjian witless.
"Insolence—" Seeing the situation turn sour, the three Hall Masters roared and attacked simultaneously, striking at Li Qiye with their own Treasure Artifacts.
These three Hall Masters were no slouches; they were all powerful experts at the Hua Beast and Nirvana Realm.
"Get lost—" In that instant, Li Qiye’s killing intent exploded. His murderous aura surged like a rainbow as he roared. His Life Wheel appeared, and his Blood Qi erupted like a boundless sea, surging upwards with an unstoppable force. The sheer domineering nature of this Blood Qi made even Li Shuangyan’s expression change.
In that same instant, Li Qiye kicked out. It was the simplest of techniques, the most ordinary of moves, but it was also the most tyrannical! With one kick, it was as if all of creation was encompassed, heaven and earth were suppressed, and gods and demons wailed in despair! The weight of that single kick felt like a billion tons!
BANG—BANG—BANG— Under that one kick, the three Treasure Artifacts were shattered on the spot. Before Li Qiye’s foot, the artifacts were like they were made of paper.
This was the second time Li Shuangyan had seen such a kick, and her expression changed dramatically. At this moment, she was certain: Li Qiye was using an Immortal Technique to cultivate a Supreme Immortal Body!
The three Hall Masters turned deathly pale with fright. They instantly shifted their positions, dodging Li Qiye’s terrifying kick.
However, Li Qiye’s Prison Suppressing Divine Body could be controlled at will. Though the three Hall Masters had dodged the kick, they couldn’t escape Li Qiye’s Kunpeng Six Transformations. The moment he retracted his foot, Li Qiye soared through the void like a Kunpeng, instantly appearing before the three Hall Masters.
"Celestial Transformation—" Such speed horrified the three Hall Masters. They instantly recognized the technique, but it was already too late.
Li Qiye’s leg lashed out like a scorpion’s stinger. Empowered by the Celestial Transformation of the Kunpeng Six Transformations and his Prison Suppressing Divine Body, the kick was terrifyingly fast, striking like ten thousand peals of thunder. The three Hall Masters had no way to dodge it; it was simply too fast.
