Chapter 552 - 462: Light at the End of the Tunnel (Part 2)

Chapter 552: Chapter 462: Light at the End of the Tunnel (Part 2)

Amidst rumbling sounds, Spiritual Qi surged chaotically and Spiritual Pressure soared, the Five-Colored Grand Array expanded again, encompassing Lingsha City within.

It also trapped Master Fengfeng, Xu Chengyun, and the cultivators who couldn’t escape within Lingsha City!

The cage is complete, the beast is about to be decapitated!

At this moment, even Master Fengfeng felt a chill all over his body, fear rising within. For the first time, he sensed the shadow of death so clearly, looming towards him.

Ye Xiao gleefully tangled again.

Exhausted of Spiritual Power, Xu Chengyun, in shock and despair, could no longer maintain the Sound Wave Defense, and was suddenly locked by a Water Whip.

Hundreds of water whips, sapphire and resilient, tightly bound him, heavily knocking down the Five-Stringed Treasure Zither he tried to raise.

As Xu Chengyun attempted to struggle, he felt a chill at his heart.

Intense pain surged up, Xu Chengyun spat out a mouthful of blood. Struggling to look down, he saw a transparent, invisible Flying Sword finally revealing itself within the blood.

He naturally recognized this Flying Sword.

The Light-Piercing Shadowless Sword, a top-tier Spiritual Artifact rewarded by Master Fengfeng to Hee Yangchen.

How ironic, these precious items obtained by the Yunshan Sect have become weapons against their own side.

Yunshan Sect... how are the methods of these cultivators so astounding...

Lu Qian...

Xu Chengyun’s blurred gaze looked down at the twinkling starlight below.

Regret, after the battle at Yuqing Mountain, Master Fengfeng should have immediately used thunderous force to execute Lu Qian!

But time cannot rewind, who could have foreseen it would turn out like this?

The Yunshan Sect is like a parasite, feeding off the Xuanguang Sect, growing stronger until it takes over.

Defeated today, the Yunshan Sect can no longer be suppressed.

Just hope my sect leader can escape, then my Xuanguang Sect will still have hope.

His consciousness continued to sink, myriad figures flashed before his eyes, finally resting on the previous Sect Leader Li Xingyuan.

Senior Brother Li, I’ve done my best...

Ashamed and regretful...

Xu Chengyun, Sect Leader of the Xuanguang Sect, was slain by Wu Yan.

"Wuh Zilan, immediately lead your troops to counterattack the thieves! Tianci stay here to protect your Elder Yang. Sect Leader Liuu, please manage the Ten Extremes Ten Directions Grand Array and usher in Master Cangfeng."

Lu Qian spoke urgently, and before he finished, he leaped and rushed towards a location within the city.

Guh Niqiang!

Guh Niqiang lay on a flat surface, surrounded by a team of Yunshan Sect disciples guarding her.

It was a coincidence that Zheng Duan and his disciples passed by, about to rush into the Central Square, when they saw Guh Niqiang falling from the sky, and immediately raised starlight to catch her, avoiding further harm.

But she was already terribly injured, her entire right shoulder along with the arm completely disappeared, leaving half the body charred, so much so that Zheng Duan couldn’t bear to look, utterly helpless.

Seeing Lu Qian arrive at this moment, Zheng Duan was overjoyed, the disciples formed a circle to guard Lu Qian and Guh Niqiang.

Lu Qian held Guh Niqiang in his arms, and sensing Lu Qian’s presence, the bloodless Guh Niqiang opened her eyes.

The eyes, originally golden red, returned to black, bereft of their imposing aura. She gazed at Lu Qian, suddenly feeling her heart tighten, with too much reluctance.

"Lu Qian, I’m going to die."

Lu Qian clutched her tighter: "I won’t let you die."

Guh Niqiang shook her head: "You only speak big words."

This intense reluctance, unwillingness, and regret engulfed her, scenes of the past flooded into her mind. She suddenly recalled the absurd promise between them, she made an effort to raise her left hand, touching Lu Qian’s cheek.

"Lu Qian, I—"

Her words were interrupted, Guh Niqiang widened her eyes as a fiery red round fruit was suddenly stuffed into her mouth by Lu Qian.

Immortal Spirit Qi dispersed, vibrant vitality surged forth!

Another Creation Fire Pill!

Watching Guh Niqiang’s widened phoenix eyes, Lu Qian smiled: "I said, I won’t let you die."

The charred flesh of the wound fell away in large patches, flesh buds, tendons, and bones began to grow at an alarming speed. Within mere moments, a snow-white arm, jade arm, hand, and fingers regenerated.

All her injuries healed, restoring her snowy skin and jade-like appearance!

Lu Qian nodded with satisfaction, the recovery was even better than Senior Brother Yang. Could this Fire Pill also test absorption capacity?

His gaze suddenly froze.

Beneath the delicate, fair arm, snow tender and creamy, gathered in a bowl.

Guh Niqiang was delightfully flexing her wrist, feeling the constantly surging Immortal Spirit Qi within her, which made her feel reborn, her Spiritual Power and Divine Sense fully restored to peak state.

She suddenly sensed Lu Qian’s unwavering gaze, and only then felt her upper body slightly chilled.

Her Flowing Cloud Immortal Robe had also been half destroyed by the Thunder Light!

So now—

She looked down stupefied, then glanced at Lu Qian.

She froze for three moments, suddenly her black pupils transformed into golden red!

"Hold on—"

Smack!

Lu Qian was already soundly slapped.

Zheng Duan and the disciples were originally facing outward, maintaining vigilance, upon hearing the commotion they quickly turned around, just in time to see Guh Niqiang enveloped in flames, while their sect leader was pitifully covering his red cheek.

Oh, it’s another matter of the sect leader’s private affairs.

Zheng Duan secretly gave Lu Qian a thumbs-up. It was indeed the sect leader, daring to act mischievously even at times like this.

In an instant, the romantic atmosphere was shattered. In the sky, sensing another Creation Fire Pill, Master Fengfeng was almost driven mad.

Extreme rage erupted, making him repel Ye Xiao again, and dash towards Lu Qian.

"Lu Qian! Give me a Fire Pill and I’ll spare your life!"

Having gone mad, he insanely imagined that Lu Qian might have more Creation Fire Pills.

Faced with his irrational, unrecognizable threats, Lu Qian merely chuckled coldly.

Golden Core Escape Light passed through the passage opened by Liuu Muchi, a brilliant Sword Light flashed by, hurling Master Fengfeng away!

Master Cangfeng entered the array!

The overall outcome of the battle was now decided.

Master Cangfeng swept his Divine Sense, relaxed, and nodded to Lu Qian: "Lu Qian, I came late."

No matter how dissatisfied, at this moment Lu Qian could only bow in respect: "Many thanks to the two Masters for your assistance, deeply grateful. Please swiftly apprehend the enemy."

As long as Master Fengfeng is slain, the plan to divide Zhongming will be realized. Naturally, Master Cangfeng and Ye Xiao were excited, dragging their weary bodies and engaging the similarly exhausted Master Fengfeng in battle.

But now Master Fengfeng could hardly be a match for the two? In the twinkle of an eye, he was suppressed, defeat and death imminent.

Situations in the city were also improving, the enemies, terrified and demoralized, were continuously slaughtered, and the severely injured, near-death Wang Yu and Shen Jialuo were found and protected.

And Yang Jiye, in Xiao Tianci’s delighted gaze, shook his chest with a gasp, sat up abruptly, still shouting: "Sect Leader, run!"

Wu Yan, mustering the last of her Spiritual Power, also began to kill remaining enemies in the city.

Guh Niqiang, already clad in new clothes, glared at Lu Qian hatefully.

Lu Qian hurriedly raised both hands: "I saw nothing!"

"You still dare to speak!" Guh Niqiang flushed, her rare charming appearance made Lu Qian almost forget he was on a battlefield.

Seeing Lu Qian’s seductive demeanor, she felt angry and embarrassed, about to strike again, when suddenly her expression changed.

The Immortal Spirit Qi, profoundly mystical, continued to disperse; after healing her injuries, the excess Spirit of Creation had nowhere to go, unexpectedly advancing her cultivation!

But she had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, where else could she advance?

Next moment, the shimmering water color on her forehead suddenly burst with light, then abruptly contracted, transforming into a beam shooting into the sky.

In that instant, it seemed the entire world shook!

Spiritual Qi churned, like tides, like seas, terrifying fluctuations emanated from the abyss, chilling nearby people to the bone, freezing their hearts.

Lu Qian blankly watched it all, Guh Niqiang suddenly returning to her senses, gave him a powerful push, her form transforming into a flame, directly charging into the sky.

"You need to leave, my Weak Water Celestial Tribulation has arrived ahead of time!"
