Chapter 101: Chapter 91: Slaying the Heavenly Person with a Single Sword (6th Update, Please Subscribe)_2
Suddenly, a bout of palpitations struck his heart as if he had been targeted by some terrifying creature.
The next moment, a bizarre sword light burst forth from the trees on one side.
Accompanying the sweeping sword light was a horrifying True Image Level Sword Intent.
His heart was filled with shock.
Could there be a Heavenly Person?
He had been using his Spiritual Perception to monitor his surroundings, but had detected nothing at all.
Where was this person hiding?
Could it be that Xiao Wendao wasn’t lying to him earlier, that there had truly been an ambush?
He quickly dashed away, using his Martial Intent to counter the opponent’s Sword Intent, while releasing icy True Qi to construct a set of Xuanming Gang Armor on his body.
But just as the sword light approached within a zhang in front of him, a strange glow burst forth, and an invisible fluctuation swept over his body.
In an instant.
He felt his blood and Qi rebel against him, and his body seemed to lose control, affecting his True Qi control.
Simultaneously, a terrifying bell sound echoed in his mind.
He not only lost control of his body, but even his consciousness seemed to enter a momentary blank state.
In a daze, he saw a sword light piercing through his body.
Puff!
Splash...
Chen Ao’s body was split in two in mid-air.
Blood and fragments of innards splattered everywhere.
Immediately after, the two halves of the corpse fell to the ground with a thud, eyes still wide open, dead beyond doubt.
Swoosh!
Li Qian, clad in a black cloak, landed on the ground.
He let out a silent sigh of relief.
This sword.
He had given it his all, using all of his strength.
After all, he was facing a Heavenly Person.
He dared not hold back at all.
Moreover, to his surprise, it was quite the coincidence.
He had just broken through to the Pure Holy Body and barely emerged from the forest when he stumbled upon a Heavenly Person from the Divine Sword Sect being hunted down.
Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to take action.
He could not just watch as a Heavenly Person was killed.
What’s more, his Pure Holy Body had just achieved a breakthrough, spawning the Divine Skills—the embryo of the Qi Blood Sacred Realm, which gave him some confidence when facing a Heavenly Person.
At the same time, he was eager to test himself to see how strong he really was.
This sword.
It basically represented his true strength.
Although the opponent was caught off guard and was attacked by stealth...
Successful assassination in itself also signified that his strength was now sufficient to battle an ordinary Heavenly Person.
...
Lying on the ground, Xiao Wendao had been ready to accept death.
After all, his last attack had exhausted his trump card, draining the last bit of True Qi in his body.
Now even an ordinary Postnatal Martial Artist could have killed him.
But unexpectedly, someone burst forth all of a sudden and split the Xuanming Sect’s Heavenly Person, Chen Ao, in two with a single sword strike?
Yes.
Split in two by a single sword.
He was literally stunned.
Where did this Heavenly Person come from?
Such terrifying strength.
Even though Chen Ao had been greatly weakened.
And was caught off guard.
But as a veteran Heavenly Person with such extensive combat experience, he shouldn’t have been slain by a single sword strike.
However, this person was covered in a black cloak, and his features were indiscernible.
The only identifier, perhaps, was the terrifying True Image Level Sword Intent.
Li Qian walked over to the corpse, searched it, found an intact cloth bag, and then removed a pair of gloves from the corpse’s palm.
One of the gloves had a hole torn through it.
With his spiritual perception, these gloves should belong to a divine refinement weapon.
He then picked up a small sword the size of an embroidery needle.
Such a small divine sword is really quite peculiar.
He tossed it directly to Xiao Heavenly Person and turned to leave.
"Wait... Benefactor, please leave your name, Xiao will surely repay this debt in the future."
Xiao Wendao, holding the Mai Mang Divine Sword, hastily called out.
But Li Qian didn’t stop at all, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the night like a night owl.
"Is it the person I encountered last time?"
Xiao Wendao watched the direction the figure had left, muttering to himself.
This place is less than a hundred miles from the Divine Sword Sect, it could be said to be near the Divine Sword Sect. Last time, at the edge of the Divine Sword Sect, he met someone with True Image Level Sword Intent.
He strongly suspected it was the same person.
"Who in the world is it? If it is a Heavenly Person from my Divine Sword Sect, why have I never heard of him?"
Xiao Wendao was completely baffled.
But if it’s not someone from the Divine Sword Sect, then what is the identity of this Heavenly Person, and why does he appear near the Divine Sword Sect time and again?
This time he even saved me.
He struggled to his feet and walked to Chen Ao’s corpse.
Cut in two by a single sword.
Chen Ao really died a miserable death.
"Old Chen, if there’s a next life, you’d better not talk too much."
Xiao Wendao sighed deeply.
Had Chen Ao spoken a few words less, perhaps it would be Xiao himself lying dead here.
He picked up his own sword, dug a hole on the spot, and buried Chen Ao’s body.
After all, Chen Ao was also a renowned Heavenly Person; he couldn’t just let the body be exposed in the wilderness to be consumed by wild animals, could he?
After the burial, Xiao Wendao sat down to regulate his breathing, recovering a bit of his True Qi, before heading towards the Divine Sword Sect with difficulty.
Last time he was injured and had not fully recovered, and now he was seriously injured again; he could feel that his lifebound essence qi was greatly depleted, and he was not young anymore.
He knew he probably couldn’t last many more years.
...
Chen Bell Platform.
Li Qian took off the black cloak and stored it in the black iron ring on his finger.
At this moment, his heart was still excited.
After all, he had just slain a Heavenly Person with a single sword.
This was a Heavenly Person.
"An ordinary Heavenly Person shouldn’t be a threat to me anymore. Now I just need to work hard on improving my cultivation... Once I step into the true Celestial Realm, I should have the basic ability to protect myself within this vast nation."
Li Qian sat cross-legged in the wooden hut, thinking.
He didn’t get carried away because he had killed a Heavenly Person.
That Heavenly Person was probably just an ordinary one.
He had also had a big fight with Xiao Heavenly Person, which must have drained him significantly, and his strength was definitely not at its peak.
Moreover, Li Qian had ambushed him.
If it were a head-on clash... the situation might be different.
Therfore, he must remain steady and low-key, absolutely not be overconfident and lose himself.
Thinking this, Li Qian took a deep breath, and started to operate the Heartless Sword Technique cultivation method, attempting cultivation for the first time since achieving perfection with his Pure Holy Body.
The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged and gathered.
The Primordial Stone in his palm was also providing him with pure Primordial Qi.
After the cultivation technique went through a Grand Circulation, Li Qian opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he quickly summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
The next moment, a look of delight appeared on his face.
"The efficiency is so high."
He had just completed a single Grand Circulation of cultivation, but his progress in cultivation had already improved a bit.
He clearly remembered that it had also improved a bit two days ago.
That means his cultivation efficiency had increased to at least one increment every two days now.
The Perfect Level Pure Holy Body, terrifying indeed!
