Chapter 753: Slay

The moment Shen Haoran made his move, the aura hidden within his body erupted like a volcano. The Carefree Slash sliced across the necks of the Fallen Valley Martial Artists, instantly killing dozens of them!

Ning Qi’s expression changed drastically as he stared at Shen Haoran, who had just appeared before him. But he was an Elder of Fallen Valley, after all. He calmed himself in an instant and threw a punch at Shen Haoran. A fierce gust of wind kicked up, making Shen Haoran’s robes flap violently.

Shen Haoran sneered at Ning Qi’s swift reaction and met his attack with a raised fist of his own. Their two massive fists slammed into each other, and a terrifying power was unleashed, making the surrounding Chaos Space twist and distort.

The instant their fists met, Ning Qi’s expression changed once again. He felt as if he had just crashed into an immense mountain. The terrifying force sent him flying, and his entire arm instantly lost all feeling.

Ning Qi’s body flipped dozens of times in the air before finally coming to a stop. He stared at Shen Haoran in utter disbelief. His own strength had reached Tier Four Spirit Emperor, while Shen Haoran was merely a Tier One Spirit Emperor. ‘A difference of three tiers, yet he forced me back with a single punch. His power is simply too immense!’

“Hmph, has Fallen Valley gone blind? Letting trash like you serve as one of the four great Elders? What a joke!” Shen Haoran sneered, dusting off his robes as he gazed at Ning Qi.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Ning Qi’s face darkened. What Shen Haoran didn’t know was that if Ning Qi could bring back his head, he would be promoted to one of the four great Elders. As of now, he was just an ordinary Elder of Fallen Valley.

“Shen Haoran, don’t be so smug! I will kill you today!” Ning Qi roared. Vast Spiritual Power surged forth, causing his aura to swell dramatically, and he immediately shot toward Shen Haoran.

“Is that so? What a coincidence. I plan on killing you today, too!” Shen Haoran sneered back. Purple-black flames welled up and enveloped him as he met Ning Qi head-on. A great battle erupted in an instant.

BOOM… BOOM…

Fierce sounds of impact reverberated throughout the Chaos Space. The aftershocks of their blows slammed into the surrounding spatial barriers, causing the already unstable partitions to shatter. Torrents of the Power of Space burst forth, tearing at the other intact spatial barriers nearby.

BANG!

The two collided once more. Shen Haoran smashed a fist into Ning Qi’s chest, and a terrifying force was unleashed, sending Ning Qi flying. His body, like a cannonball, smashed into his Flying Shuttle. The shuttle instantly exploded, breaking apart into countless wooden planks that were sucked into the fractured Chaos Space and ground into fine powder.

Although Shen Haoran’s Cultivation was three tiers lower than Ning Qi’s, the purity and sheer volume of his Spiritual Power completely surpassed Ning Qi’s. Combined with a body tempered through numerous trials, Ning Qi was simply no match for him. ‘Besides, his Spiritual Power is bloated and unstable. It’s obvious he relied on Elixirs to break through. His foundation is a complete mess!’

BOOM!

With a massive explosion, the wrecked Flying Shuttle disintegrated. Ning Qi shot out from the blast, glaring venomously at Shen Haoran. By now, Ning Qi’s clothes were in tatters, his body was covered in Fist Seals of all sizes, his chest was slightly sunken, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly wretched.

Ning Qi stared at Shen Haoran, whose aura remained calm and steady, and resentment swelled in his heart. ‘I’m really no match for him. Now I understand why the Valley Master of Fallen Valley wants him dead so badly, and why our four great Elders died at his hands. A genius like this… he must be killed!’

Ning Qi knew he was going to die today. With his current strength, he was absolutely no match for Shen Haoran. He stared at Shen Haoran, a bizarre smile suddenly playing on his lips.

“If I’m going down, I’m taking you with me! I refuse to believe you can survive another spatial storm!” Ning Qi’s face was a mask of insanity as his body began to swell. He was going to self-destruct and trigger another spatial storm in the Chaos Space.

Realizing Ning Qi’s intent, Shen Haoran’s expression shifted slightly. ‘The surrounding spatial barriers are already shattered. They can’t possibly withstand the self-destruction of a Tier Four Spirit Emperor. It’ll definitely trigger a spatial storm. I don’t have Elder Yan to help me this time; I can’t survive one of those.’

‘I have to stop him!’ Shen Haoran’s heart sank. His Vermilion Bird Wings unfurled from his back as he executed the Nine Heavens Shocking Cloud Step. His speed surged to a frightening degree, and in an instant, he appeared before Ning Qi.

“You…” In the blink of an eye, Ning Qi could still see Shen Haoran’s afterimage in the distance, but the man himself was already standing right before him. ‘That speed… it’s terrifying! It’s beyond what a Spirit Emperor should be capable of!’

Shen Haoran was expressionless. He struck out with a deceptively light palm. Ning Qi, his body just beginning to inflate, was batted away like a rubber ball, sent soaring toward the fractured Chaos Space.

“No… No, please!” Sensing the terrifying Power of Space all around him, Ning Qi’s expression twisted in horror, his eyes wide with terror.

“Shen Haoran, I’ll haunt you from beyond the grave!” Ning Qi shrieked, his face contorted with rage. Then, under Shen Haoran’s cold gaze, he exploded.

BOOM!

A terrifying storm of Energy was unleashed, only to be instantly ripped apart by the surrounding Power of Space before it could even begin to expand.

CRACK… CRACKLE…

Even so, the violent tremors left the surrounding spatial barriers exceedingly fragile, on the verge of collapsing at any moment. Seeing this, Shen Haoran gave a single flap of his wings, reappeared on his Flying Shuttle, and piloted it rapidly forward.

BOOM!

The moment Shen Haoran departed, the spatial barrier behind him shattered violently. A terrifying spatial storm erupted, swallowing the nearby Fallen Valley Flying Shuttles and grinding them to powder. The horrifying power of the storm sent a chill down Shen Haoran’s spine. He pushed the Flying Shuttle to go even faster, instantly leaving the treacherous region behind.

After flying at top speed for a full day, Shen Haoran finally escaped the turbulent region of space. He let out a long, deep sigh of relief.

“All taken care of?” Xue Ling walked out from the shuttle’s cabin, stretching lazily. Her perfect figure was put on full display for Shen Haoran, and the sight nearly made him drool.

“Tired of having eyes?” Xue Ling said coldly, looking at Shen Haoran staring dumbly at her body. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks, but it was quickly replaced by an icy chill.

“Tch, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. I’ve even touched it!” Shen Haoran muttered under his breath. However, feeling the icy killing intent radiating from Xue Ling, he quickly adopted a serious expression. “Just a few small fry. Nothing to it!”

“Where to next? You’re not planning on going straight to Fallen Valley, are you?” Xue Ling asked.

“No, let’s head back to the Five Elements Sect first. Grandpa and the others must have heard I was missing by now. I need to go back and let them know I’m safe,” Shen Haoran said, shaking his head.

At his words, Xue Ling nodded. She shot Shen Haoran an indifferent glance before turning and returning to the cabin…
