Free Web NovelChapter 229: Killing an Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm Cultivator
Tang Yin’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the purple fog intently, he could still feel his connection with the refined Killing Intent that had merged with the pink mist. But he could not control it to separate, the pink mist prevented this.
The only way to get his refined Killing Intent which had fused with the pink mist back was by either killing the woman or if he and the woman mutually agreed to separate their attacks.
Naturally, the woman had also realised this, and from the continued intensity of her attacks, it was clear that she did not plan to separate her pink mist from Tang Yin’s refined Killing Intent.
Tang Yin resolutely called back the remaining refined Killing Intent. If he continued to confront the pink mist with his refined Killing Intent, then it was only a matter of who ran out of pink mist or refined Killing Intent first.
Since there was an almost endless amount of pink mist in the Pink Mist Mountain Range, Tang Yin believed that the woman possessed a higher quantity of pink mist compared to how much refined Killing Intent he could control.
He would rather preserve his remaining refined Killing Intent and get the rest back later.
Tang Yin pointed towards the woman, ’Void Chains’. Numerous metallic black chains appeared from the void to bind the woman.
The woman did not do anything in the face of the Void Chains. As the Void Chains approached the woman, they slowly melted before evaporating. The pink mist around the woman corroded the Void Chains, preventing them from reaching her.
Tang Yin brought out the Abyssal Sword. Without delay, he injected Abyss Qi into it, a black energy swirled around the sword.
He took a step forward and arched his arm back, then with all his might, he swung the Abyssal Sword in the woman’s direction. "Void Splitting Slash!"
A thin black line which threatened to destroy the void instantly appeared before the woman.
With wide eyes, the woman controlled her pink mist to block the Void Splitting Slash.
Before the Void Splitting Slash could reach the woman, its power was used up and it was forced to dissipate.
However, the pink mist which the woman had used to block the Void Splitting Slash was also forced to disperse. The pink mist around the woman was swiftly cut down to half of its original quantity.
The woman simply swung her sleeves, in an instant, even more, pink mist surged forth from her sleeve. The original quantity of the pink mist was restored, and there was even more than last time.
Tang Yin had not used too much Abyss Qi to fuel the Void Splitting Slash. Otherwise, the woman would have had to use more than just her pink mist to block the sword strike.
The continuous surge of pink mist from the woman did not stop, it kept coming as if it had an endless source. The woman did not remain idle either, she made a seal with her hand.
The colossal amount of pink mist around her took the form of various different beasts. Some were birds whilst others were tigers, bears and various other types of beats.
They all had ferocious expressions, only their eyes were empty and dull, showing that they had no sentience. The numerous large beasts rushed towards Tang Yin fiercely.
Tang Yin evaded the various beasts quite easily with the Phantom Steps. Once he had created a distance between himself and the various beasts formed from the pink mist, Tang Yin once again executed the Void Splitting Slash. He used the exact same amount of strength and Abyss Qi as last time.
A thin black line which radiated a dense aura of destruction swept past the numerous ferocious beats formed from the pink mist. Without exception, they were all forced to scatter and disperse as pink mist.
The woman’s expression darkened. It was a miracle that a 6th stage Qi Transformation Realm cultivator was able to last this long.
Before the woman could launch another attack, Tang Yin brought out the corpse of a Rank 4 Demonic Beast. Under the woman’s gaze, the Demonic Beast’s corpse rapidly withered away before only becoming skin and bones, and then even the bones disintegrated.
The woman was not surprised. This was after all the Demon Accretion Region, where Demonic Cultivators could be found at every corner. Absorbing blood essence and using evil arts was extremely common.
A black aura of death emanated from Tang Yin’s right hand, and the faint tattoo of a skull appeared on the back of his right hand. Life and Death Seal!
A grave expression surfaced on the woman’s face. She could clearly sense danger from Tang Yin’s right hand.
This was absurd. An almighty Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator feeling danger from a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator’s attack. Most would not believe it.
The woman did not have much time to think about this as she saw Tang Yin close in on her using the Phantom Steps.
The woman took out a silk cloth from her storage ring. It was only the size of a palm. There were pink flower patterns embroidered on both sides of its surface. The aura of a Tier 6 Artifact pervaded the silk cloth.
The woman infused her Spirit Qi into the silk cloth, it promptly grew larger, enough to cover a whole person.
The silk cloth did not cover the woman but instead moved forward to hinder Tang Yin’s path. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
As Tang Yin rushed towards the woman, pink mist continuously bombarded him from all sides. To counter this, crimson fog seeped out of his body to keep the pink mist at bay. However, every time the refined Killing Intent blocked the pink mist, more purple fog would be created.
Tang Yin did not bother with this though, he would reclaim his refined Killing Intent later.
Within an instant, Tang Yin arrived before the large silk cloth. He did not use any fancy moves, he directly sent out a punch with his right fist.
His fist soaked into the silk cloth, seemingly about to bounce back. Tang Yin’s eyes grew dark, he injected his remaining refined Killing Intent into his right fist.
The Ethereal Slaughter Art coated Tang Yin’s right fist, creating an extra layer of power on top of the Life and Death Seal.
The power of two Tier 4 Martial Skills was indescribable. A mere Tier 6 Artifact could not resist. The flowery silk cloth was swiftly torn to shreds.
The refined Killing Intent around Tang Yin’s fist dispersed and returned to his body. The Life and Death Seal was still active, it had just lost a fraction of its power.
The woman’s expression changed, she felt her connection with the Tier 6 Flower Silk Cloth Artifact disappear. Only now did she realise that Tang Yin’s power was on par with hers!
Without reserving any more power, she brought out 2 items from her storage ring. The first was an elephant. It was quite large, around 10 meters tall. It had huge tusks which protruded out of its mouth and its skin was a dark grey colour. A green flame burned in its eye sockets.
’A puppet...’ Tang Yin had faced puppets before in Tian Huang’s 2nd inheritance trial. He instantly recognized that the elephant was a puppet. He felt the aura of peak Qi Transformation Realm strength coming from the elephant puppet.
The second item was a zither. It was also another Tier 6 Artifact.
The woman sat down cross-legged in mid-air with the zither in her lap. She commanded the elephant puppet to charge towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin did not falter either, he also rushed towards the elephant puppet. Whilst the puppet and human approached each other, the woman played the zither in her lap.
A sweet melodious sound rang out with each tug the woman executed on the zither. Along with the harmonious sound, the pink mist in the surroundings churned.
The pink mist rapidly took the form of numerous meter-long swords. In an instant, there were hundreds of them. They all charged towards Tang Yin from all directions.
Tang Yin not only had to confront the elephant puppet, but he also had to counterattack the swords formed from the pink mist.
Tang Yin instantly arrived before the elephant puppet utilizing the Phantom Steps. He brought his arm back and with all the strength he could muster, he punched its skull.
The Life and Death Seal coupled with Tang Yin’s physical strength, the power output was overwhelming. Without any chance to resist, the elephant puppet shattered completely into millions of fragments with a loud boom. The green flames in its socket were extinguished immediately.
The woman’s expression became graver, and the pace of her fingers playing the zither increased drastically. The congenial tune played by the zither held a hint of aloof bloodlust.
The hundreds of swords formed from pink mist stopped charging towards Tang Yin. Instead, they conjured in one spot and fused together. The outcome was a 100 feet large sword, the pink mist forming it seemed to have crystallized.
After shattering the elephant puppet to shreds, Tang Yin still retained around half of the Life and Death Seal’s power.
Watching the 100 feet large sword descend upon him, Tang Yin recalled Chen Dao Xin’s Myriad Sword Slash. The attack was quite similar, but the power behind the Myriad Sword Slash and this 100 feet large pink sword were akin to Heaven and Earth.
Last time, he had to rely on the silver leaf Artifact to defend himself. This time, however, he possessed the strength to face the 100 feet large pink sword all by himself.
Tang Yin did not utilize any more of his Martial Skills. The remaining power of the Life and Death Seal in his hand was sufficient enough to deal with the 100 feet large pink sword.
Tang Yin did not wait for the pink sword to descend either, he instead flew up to meet it head-on. With his right fist emanating a dense aura of death, he used all his might to uppercut the 100 feet large pink sword.
The effect was as expected, the Life and Death Seal blew away the crystallized pink sword into oblivion, and it was forced to return to its gaseous state. Furthermore, the reverted pink mist was compelled to scatter, unable to keep its synthesis with the rest of the pink mist.
The woman holding the zither swiftly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The strings of the zither also snapped in half.
With shock and disbelief, the woman glowered at Tang Yin. He returned her resentful gaze with an aloof, cold stare.
After snapping out of her shock, the woman brought out a pink Medicinal Pill from her storage ring, it was tainted with red and purple hues.
With resolution and resentment, she swallowed the Medicinal Pill.
The woman’s cultivation started to skyrocket. It instantly reached the peak of the Early-stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm. Only then did the increase in cultivation slow down. The increase in cultivation stopped completely once the woman was half a step into the Mid-stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm.
A ferocious expression surfaced on her face. "You forced me to do this!"
Tang Yin realised the Medicinal Pill that the woman had just swallowed was a last resort pill which could temporarily increase one’s cultivation and strength. They would then have to deal with a strong backlash once the effects wore off.
He had already tested out his strength, there was no need to drag the battle on any longer.
A golden light illuminated his left eye and a blue glimmer sparkled in his right eye, Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art!
The frenzied look in the woman’s eyes slowly turned to confusion, she seemed to be in a daze.
The Abyssal Sword appeared in Tang Yin’s hand. Without any delay, he hurriedly executed the Void Splitting Slash. A thin black line sliced through the air and instantly arrived before the woman.
The woman regained her senses at that moment, the thin black line filled her vision before everything turned to darkness. Her head was instantly decapitated, and both her head and body plummeted from the sky.
Tang Yin used whatever remained of his refined Killing Intent to catch her headless body and her decapitated head. The refined Killing Intent delivered the woman’s corpse right to his feet.
