Chapter 178: Chapter 178: A Crushing Battle
"A Protective Profound Soldier! He must have used some kind of Protective Profound Soldier! Otherwise, there’s no way he could be completely unscathed after facing attacks from so many of us! Damn it!" Ouyang Lin suddenly roared, his eyes gleaming with intense greed. A Defensive Profound Soldier capable of blocking the attacks of several hundred people... just how high would its Grade have to be? ’Seventh Grade? Eighth Grade? Or even Ninth Grade?’
"Yes, that’s right!"
"It must be! How else could he have blocked it?"
The other members of Purple Cloud Heavenly Mountain heard this and all deeply agreed. Just then, Ouyang Lin dropped another bombshell. He roared, "A few days ago, this person entered an intact Cultivation Palace! Who knows how many treasures he took? That Defensive Profound Soldier he’s wearing is likely just one of them!"
As soon as he said this, everyone stared at Qin Ya, their eyes so full of greed they were practically glowing. In the distance, the disciples of the Vast Sea Divine Palace also showed signs of restlessness. Ouyang Lin’s words had made many of them nearly lose their minds.
’Why did we enter Hidden Dragon Valley? To fight for opportunities, to fight for Secret Treasures!’
But the youth before them possessed countless Secret Treasures. He was a plump sheep ripe for the slaughter in everyone’s eyes. Lii Yunge frowned slightly, looked at the disciples behind her, and shouted in a clear, firm voice, "Guard your minds! Don’t let greed cloud your judgment!"
It was clear that Lii Yunge held considerable prestige within the Vast Sea Divine Palace’s group. At her shout, many disciples gradually regained their composure and calmed down. ’That’s right,’ they thought. ’So what if he has great treasures? With my own abilities, could I really snatch them from that youth’s hands?’
’Heh, I’d probably lose my life in the attempt!’
Looking at the Purple Cloud Disciples, whose eyes were gradually growing bloodshot, Qin Ya smiled indifferently and said, "I do indeed possess great treasures. And more than just one or two, at that. However..." He paused, then said with contempt in his eyes, "With the likes of you, do you really think you can take them from me?"
"Everyone, attack together! Kill Qin Ya and seize the treasures!"
"Haha, the great treasures will all be ours."
"Heh, how arrogant."
The fear of Qin Ya that had been on the faces of the Purple Cloud Disciples was gone, replaced by the look of starving wolves eyeing a lamb.
Immediately, heaven-shaking battle cries resounded!
Qin Ya murmured, "Heh. If that’s how it is, then it’s time I start killing."
Before, Qin Ya had held back, not dealing any lethal blows. But now was different. Facing this group of Purple Cloud Disciples blinded by greed, he no longer showed any restraint. With his longspear in hand, he moved as if they weren’t even there.
There were no flashy moves, only the simplest, most direct slaughter.
The longspear’s advantage as the king of group battles was on full display. Thrusts, whips, swings, sweeps, parries—the most basic fundamentals were like strokes of divine inspiration in Qin Ya’s hands. Every move, every form, was executed to an unimaginable degree of perfection.
With just a single longspear, he inflicted countless casualties upon the several hundred people.
Wherever the longspear passed, blood flew from those who stood in its way. He was unstoppable.
"What terrifying Spear Technique... How on earth does he do it?"
"I’ve never seen this level of skill with a spear before!"
In the distance, Lii Yunge and the others who had never seen Qin Ya’s Spear Technique were already dumbfounded. Countless young men’s faces were flushed, their eyes burning with fervor. They gripped their weapons tightly, the blood in their veins burning like lava, itching to jump down and fight for three hundred rounds to vent their excitement.
To fight an entire Sect single-handedly!
What an insane, what an unbelievable feat.
But Qin Ya had done it!
’Kill... Kill...’
Qin Ya’s expression was indifferent, but the killing intent in his heart only grew stronger. The killing aura around him was almost tangible. SHLINK! The longspear thrust out, piercing through the chest of a ferocious-looking Purple Cloud Disciple. With a quick pull and a flick, the spear shattered the head of another Purple Cloud Disciple charging from behind. A spray of red and white matter erupted, yet not a single speck of filth stained Qin Ya’s body.
Blood dyed the entire ground red. The pungent, nauseating stench of blood filled the air. In the center of the encirclement, the youth stood with his longspear, the only patch of snowy white in a sea of crimson—a white so pure it was chilling, so stark it made one tremble.
Qin Ya’s killing aura soared to the heavens. A boundless chill enveloped the Purple Cloud Disciples, jolting their minds and sobering them up considerably. Gazing at the corpses strewn across the ground, their eyes went wide with a terror that consumed them. "A demon... He’s a demon!"
Someone in the crowd murmured in terror, though it was unclear who.
Immediately, a wave of panic spread through the crowd. The thought of retreat had already taken root in most of their minds. ’That’s right, he’s a terrifying demon!’
"How can we keep fighting this battle? Our attacks have no effect on him, but he can kill us with a single thrust of his spear."
"Yeah, this is just a complete slaughter."
The Purple Cloud Disciples were thinking of retreat, but Qin Ya’s killing aura was soaring. The belligerent blood deep in his veins had been awakened, and his War Intent was surging. Seeing the Purple Cloud Disciples suddenly halt, he swept a cold gaze over them and said, "Come on. Let’s continue!"
The Purple Cloud Disciples who met Qin Ya’s gaze felt as if they were being stared down by a demon and all took a step back. Then, someone, it’s not clear who, shouted, "Run for it!"
Countless Purple Cloud Disciples instantly turned to flee, scared into a disorderly retreat by Qin Ya. Seeing this, a cold smirk touched Qin Ya’s lips as he said, "Heh. Trying to run now? It’s not that easy."
With that, Qin Ya’s figure blurred, shooting forward like a fierce gust of wind.
His longspear shot out, instantly piercing through the head of a Purple Cloud Disciple. Seeing that this Killing God, Qin Ya, was in pursuit, the hundreds of Purple Cloud Disciples fled even faster.
"Damn it, he’s actually chasing us relentlessly!"
"Ahhh! Run! Run!"
In the distance, the disciples from the Yunxiao Empire and the Vast Sea Divine Palace watched this scene, the shock in their hearts beyond words. One man and one spear had routed an entire Sect. If someone had told them this was possible before, they never would have believed it. But now, the proof was right before their eyes.
"That’s just too savage." freēwēbnovel.com
"Heh. They wanted to kill him and take his treasures, but now they’re the ones being chased all over the place. Purple Cloud Heavenly Mountain has truly lost a great deal of face today."
Shangguan Yue watched this scene with an incredibly smug look on her face, as if she were the one defeating Purple Cloud Heavenly Mountain. She shot Chu Lingfeng a contemptuous glance and said disdainfully, "See that? One man against an entire Sect. That kind of spirit and strength is thousands, tens of thousands of times stronger than a certain someone."
Chu Lingfeng’s expression shifted between pale and livid; he was at a loss for words.
’One man against hundreds... How is that possible? Forget me, even those monstrous geniuses in the Sect couldn’t do that!’ He huffed coldly and said, "He’s just relying on that unknown treasure he has."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yue’s pretty face turned cold. She said with a hint of frigidity in her tone, "How shameless. Still trying to belittle him even now. If I had known, I never would have let Brother Qin save you. You don’t have a single shred of gratitude in you."
