Free Web NovelChapter 164: Chapter 162: Slaying Another Nascent Soul Realm Expert
Night fell.
Su Qing was cultivating in silence.
Suddenly, he sensed the presence of someone in the Nascent Soul Realm inside his room.
It wasn’t Blood Cloud Master.
It was Spirit Peak Master of the Hundred Weapons Hall.
His dark, cyan Magical Power instantly enveloped Su Qing’s body.
Su Qing stopped his Cultivation. With a single poke of his finger, he shattered the Magical Power.
"What!"
"You actually detected me?"
"Su Qing, hehe."
"No wonder you could kill five Demon Kings. So that’s how it is," Spirit Peak Master let out a sinister, hoarse laugh, his breathing slightly heavy.
The Blade of Wholeness appeared in Su Qing’s hand.
"Spirit Peak Master? Is this how you treat a junior?"
Su Qing felt the full might of Spirit Peak Master’s Nascent Soul Realm pressure bearing down on him.
"Foundation Establishment Realm? It seems you’ve hidden your Cultivation."
"Your Thunder Technique, and all your other secrets... I’ll know everything after I search your soul."
Yama’s Hand!
As Spirit Peak Master unleashed his Magical Power, Su Qing could sense a massive, blackish-green hand materializing outside his residence, preparing to slam down.
Devouring!
Su Qing instantly activated his Devouring Divine Techniques.
In less than an instant, the Big Hand Seal outside was drained of fifty percent of its power by Su Qing’s absorption.
God-Falling Sword!
A beam of sword light shot toward the heavens.
It pierced through the overcast night sky, revealing the moonlight.
High in the sky.
Blood trickled from the corner of Spirit Peak Master’s mouth. His earlier composure had vanished, replaced by panic.
That single sword strike from the junior had actually destroyed all three of his life-saving Tier Four Magical Treasures. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
These were Tier Four Magical Treasures he had nourished for several hundred years.
His Escape Light flared as he fled from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect at top speed.
Spirit Peak Master knew he couldn’t kill Su Qing. His identity as a spy for the Demon Court would surely be exposed. He couldn’t stay in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect any longer.
’I have to get to the Demon Court!’
Heaven-Soaring God and Demon!
It was as if a God Demon had descended in person, its might vast and inviolable.
God-Falling Sword!
With a single strike, Spirit Peak Master turned his head to look at Su Qing in disbelief. The Nascent Soul in his Dantian had been pierced by Su Qing’s sword.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness, fear, and confusion.
’Why is this junior so powerful?’
"I never said you could leave, Spirit Peak Master." A black and white light flickered in Su Qing’s eyes—the God Demon Illusion-Breaking Eye.
And that was how he had managed to pierce Spirit Peak Master’s Nascent Soul with one blow.
Devouring.
Everything that was Spirit Peak Master was completely absorbed by Su Qing.
It all converted into Su Qing’s lifespan.
As Spirit Peak Master vanished, a refined Small Pocket World appeared, resembling a speck of white light.
Su Qing absorbed every last bit of Spirit Peak Master and took all of his Storage Rings.
The entire battle had taken less than ten seconds.
It was a crushing victory.
Su Qing had truly revealed what it meant to be a real God Demon.
’Killing someone in the Nascent Soul Realm? What’s so hard about that?’
Su Qing quickly departed.
He didn’t use Heaven-Soaring God and Demon.
After all, it made quite a commotion.
The sky-piercing sword light from just now had probably already attracted investigators from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
Su Qing pretended to be rushing back to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
Just as he reached the entrance to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s Pocket World,
he saw Ouyang Mingming appear.
"Master?"
"Disciple, are you alright?"
Su Qing let out a sigh of relief. "There were Nascent Soul Masters fighting above the mining area just now. I almost died."
"I don’t know what happened over at the mining area."
"The Sect Lord just told me that a battle broke out near the Void Nether Stone Ore."
"It seems the power involved wasn’t any less than the Golden Core Realm."
"I was worried you had gotten into a fight with the Demon Race."
Ouyang Mingming breathed a sigh of relief. In the middle of the night, she wiped a bit of drool from the corner of her mouth.
Su Qing hadn’t noticed at first.
But when Ouyang Mingming wiped her mouth, Su Qing caught a whiff and knew exactly what she had been up to.
The corner of Su Qing’s mouth twitched.
"Master, you were snacking."
"What snacking? I was not."
Su Qing pouted and said helplessly, "Looks like I’ll have to stay in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect tonight. I’ll go back to the mining area tomorrow. I’m scared."
"And to think Master was snacking without inviting me. I’m truly heartbroken."
"It’s just that you had a mission to guard the mining area, so I didn’t call for you."
...
That night, Su Qing went to his master’s residence and had hot pot.
His master only seemed to know how to make hot pot, because she had a large supply of soup bases.
Ouyang Mingming’s residence was even grander than Su Qing’s, decorated entirely in the style of the Zhengxuan Sect.
At most, there were a few extra Red Wood decorations.

’The aura of Spirit Peak Master?’
Ji Qianqiu silently appeared in the sky above the Void Nether Stone ore.
He didn’t sense the aura of the Demon Race.
Instead, it was the aura of Spirit Peak Master.
The aura of the other person was a bit strange.
Ji Qianqiu felt that his opponent had seemingly concealed their aura.
There were also fragments from Spirit Peak Master’s Magical Treasures here—the remains of three of them.
And the battle was over so quickly.
Spirit Peak Master’s Magical Treasures were all destroyed.
Ji Qianqiu estimated that the man’s chances of survival were slim.
’Su Qing doesn’t seem to be here. Is he Within the Sect?’
Ji Qianqiu couldn’t help but wonder why Spirit Peak Master had appeared here.
It was said that Su Qing possessed a Thunder Technique.
It allowed a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to barely resist the poison of a Sky-Piercing Rat. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
This had made quite a few of the Nascent Soul Masters Within the Sect restless with greed.
’Could it be that this Spirit Peak Master was after Su Qing?’
’But Su Qing is only at Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment. There’s no way he could defeat Spirit Peak Master.’
This was giving Ji Qianqiu a massive headache. Where had Spirit Peak Master gone?
...
...
A night passed.
Su Qing returned to the mining area.
Within the mining area, Su Qing’s original residence had been destroyed.
As soon as Su Qing arrived, he saw a Steward hurry over.
"Sir, what happened last night?"
"This house... can we find some people to repair it for you?"
Su Qing said calmly, "Don’t ask useless questions. Just find a few people to fix it for me."
"Sir, I’ll find some people to fix it for you right away."
...
After Spirit Peak Master’s death,
things seemed to become much quieter on Su Qing’s end.
Furthermore, because of the rumors circulating among the Nascent Soul Masters of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect,
everyone was saying that Su Qing was more than just in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Blood Cloud Master absolutely vouched for the reliability of this news.
This was because Blood Cloud Master had probably already figured out Su Qing’s true strength.
On the day Spirit Peak Master had set out to find Su Qing,
he had come looking for Blood Cloud, asking about the Thunder Technique.
Blood Cloud had, of course, said he hadn’t obtained the Thunder Technique.
After that, Spirit Peak Master vanished.
Only then did Blood Cloud realize how ridiculous it had been for him to use his true body to try and steal Su Qing’s Thunder Technique.
If he hadn’t been clever enough to leave his Nascent Soul behind back then, he would’ve probably been completely finished.
The rumors of Spirit Peak Master’s disappearance...
As far as Blood Cloud was concerned, Spirit Peak was likely already dead.
’Su Qing... what a terrifying guy.’
The moment Blood Cloud heard that Spirit Peak Master had disappeared, he immediately fled to the Celestial Sea Realm.
He had no desire to return to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. Having become Su Qing’s enemy, Blood Cloud knew he had to get as far away as possible.
...
「A year passed.」
A Demon Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm came over.
The first thing he saw was Su Qing lying leisurely in a wicker chair.
He bowed to Su Qing and said, "Su Zhenchuan, I will be guarding the mining area from now on. Thank you for your hard work this past year, Su Zhenchuan."
"You’re too kind."
Su Qing opened his eyes.
’I can finally leave this mining area.’
"I’m heading out," Su Qing said, and without a backward glance, he returned to the Sect.
The mining area was incredibly boring. He thought he might go take a look around the Celestial Sea Realm after a while.
...
「Within the Sect Marketplace.」
"Did you hear?"
"The Golden Core Master met with a mishap in the Celestial Sea Realm and perished."
"So the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect has started recruiting Pill Masters who can refine Tier Three Healing Pills. At the same time, it seems we Outer Disciples can also go to the Holy Pill Hall to get tested for Alchemy aptitude?"
"It looks like the Sect wants to cultivate Alchemy Masters?"
"For real? When did this happen?"
"Sigh, it was just recently. I’m only telling you this secretly because I think you’re a decent guy."
...
Su Qing was speechless. The two guys discussing this were talking quite a bit louder than people normally would.
Yet it didn’t seem entirely intentional.
’What an impressive way to spread news,’ he thought.
...
