Chapter 510 506: Human or God?

Hai Feng stared at the white-haired, youthful-faced old man in astonishment and asked, "Qi, you know who that is?"

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man's expression was awful. In a grim voice, he said, "That's Qin Li!"

"What?" Hai Feng was utterly shocked. A possibility instantly flashed through his mind, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Then the team I sent to the East..."

"Don't even think about it. They're definitely all gone!" The white-haired, youthful-faced old man narrowed his eyes, watching the fierce battle over there. A glint flickered in his eyes, his thoughts unreadable.

"Qi, we have to go out and kill them now!" Hai Feng roared, his eyes wide with fury. In just this short time, several experts from the Iron-blooded Hall had already been cut down. The enemy's momentum seemed unstoppable. This was Hai Feng's life's work.

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man grabbed Hai Feng and barked in a low voice, "Kill them? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Open your eyes and take a good look at how powerful they are! We need to leave, now! Find a place to hide!"

"Qi!" Hai Feng flew into a rage, his face flushed crimson. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke. "Qi, I never thought you'd be such a coward, clinging to life and fearing death! The Iron-blooded Hall is my life's work! If the Iron-blooded Hall is gone, what's the point of me living? If you want to hide, you can hide alone. I'm going to die with my brothers!"

As he spoke, Hai Feng let out a long cry, soared into the air, and roared, "Qin Li, stop killing my disciples! If you have the guts, come for me!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop Hai Feng, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man sighed, shaking his head. 'If you want to throw your life away, go right ahead,' he thought. 'Even Golden Vase was no match for that kid, not to mention it's obvious he's not their only Pill Nascent Soul Transformation Martial Artist. I'm not going to my death.'

With that thought, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man's figure flickered and vanished into thin air. He never imagined, however, that in the face of Qin Li's freakishly powerful Divine Sense, his actions were completely futile!

Qin Li sent a telepathic message to Bai Zhongshan, telling him to follow the old man with the white hair and youthful face. Then, with a long laugh, he met the charging Hai Feng head-on. A ferocious Palm Force erupted from Hai Feng's hands, blasting toward Qin Li.

The Blood-Drinking Sword in Qin Li's hand let out an excited hum. Without dodging or evading, he charged forward to meet Hai Feng's palm strike!

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion erupted in mid-air. The immense power instantly radiated outwards in all directions like ripples.

The force shattered the surrounding space, and torrents of spatial turbulence surged back and forth.

Hai Feng was thrown back a full hundred meters, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth. He stared at Qin Li, his face a mask of horror. He couldn't imagine how a young man under thirty could accumulate so much Power, even if he had started cultivating in the womb. With that palm strike, his opponent had started later but struck first. While he himself had been forced back a hundred meters, his opponent hadn't retreated a single step and was now charging at him again, sword in hand!

But Hai Feng felt no regret. He would rather die with the Iron-blooded Hall!

Completely fearless, Hai Feng's strength finally erupted to the greatest peak of his life! He adopted a style of fighting that traded life for life with Qin Li. Thunderous booms constantly echoed from the sky. This power not only wrecked the space around the two of them, but it also destroyed vast swathes of buildings on the ground. Huge fissures spiderwebbed across the earth beneath their feet, spreading far into the distance!

With Hai Feng unleashing the full power of his Pill Nascent Soul Transformation and fighting with complete disregard for his own life, Qin Li found himself unable to gain the upper hand for a moment.

However, this was only because Qin Li had no intention of using his Treasure Artifact. Otherwise, the moment he brought out his seal, the battle would have ended instantly.

Moreover, Qin Li hadn't even used the Five Elements Magic from his Purple Qi Technique. It was rare to find such a good opportunity to practice. His opponent's strength was considerable, and his combat experience was rich. Not taking this chance to hone his own combat techniques would be a waste!

The combat technique, Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Only I am Venerable, was a technique that grew stronger the stronger the opponent was!

It countered the enemy's moves; no matter what combat technique his opponent used, it could directly suppress it! The stronger Qin Li became, the more obvious this feeling was.

Hai Feng's moves were powerful and heavy, each one a life-risking attack. He seemed to have the upper hand, but only he knew how much he was suffering. Every time he launched an attack, he would discover that his opponent had already found a way to break it.

If Hai Feng weren't using this mutually destructive fighting style, the battle would have likely ended long ago.

Although Hai Feng was in the middle of a fight, he was still aware of his surroundings. Seeing the number of his Iron-blooded Hall disciples dwindling, his heart grew anxious. He also deeply resented Qi's cowardice. Many years ago, when they were still children, Qi had been just like this. He never expected that after several thousand years, even after reaching the Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm, he was still the same!

'What a worthless piece of trash!'

Cursing inwardly, Hai Feng, his eyes bloodshot, dodged a strike from Qin Li's sword and roared, "Qin Li, we have no past grievances or recent enmity. Why have you come to destroy my sect?"

'No past grievances or recent enmity?' Qin Li looked at Hai Feng as if he were an idiot. He hadn't planned on answering, but Bai Zhongshan still hadn't dealt with the white-haired, youthful-faced old man. Qin Li sneered, "You sent people to annihilate my entire family and killed a great number of my Qin Family's disciples, and you dare to say we have no past grievances or recent enmity? Are you an idiot?"

"You... you brat! Even if I have to throw my life away today, I'll drag you down with me!" Hai Feng roared, gnashing his teeth.

Qin Li sneered. "Why don't you just die by yourself? I haven't had enough of living yet!"

RUMBLE!

From far away, an earth-shattering boom echoed. An incomparably vast power slammed into the space. The entire Mysterious Land was being torn to shreds by this group of Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm Martial Artists, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.

Hai Feng froze, then a thought occurred to him. He laughed coldly and shouted, "Haha, Qi, you got caught too?" His voice carried far into the distance.

A cold, icy snort returned from the distance, tinged with panic. Who else could it be but the white-haired, youthful-faced old man?

Hai Feng burst into laughter. "Tried to escape and failed, huh? Qi, summon the courage of a man and die in battle with us!" As he spoke, Hai Feng cupped his hands. A searing fireball materialized out of thin air between them and shot violently toward Qin Li.

"Brat, I'll burn you to a crisp!"

Qin Li smiled faintly. 'Finally resorting to Magic attacks, are you?' With a casual wave of his hand, a blue barrier appeared and blocked the fireball. Immediately, the blue barrier transformed into countless blue Ice Arrows that shot toward Hai Feng, blanketing the sky.

Hai Feng was horrified. "What kind of technique is this?" he exclaimed in surprise.

"A killing technique!" Qin Li shouted coldly. He gathered all the Fire Element from a radius of several hundred meters into his hands. The resulting flame was nearly colorless, but its searing temperature was felt by everyone fighting, causing them to pale with fright and hastily retreat.

Hai Feng was also stunned. The combat technique he cultivated was of the Fire Attribute. When he broke through from the Shattered Void to the Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm, what he comprehended was also the Fire Element. But this method Qin Li was using to gather the Fire Element was something he had not only never seen but had never even heard of.

Qin Li glanced coolly at Hai Feng and said, "You're a real man. A pity you were born into the Hai Family."

With that, Qin Li gently pushed with both hands, and a horrifying scene... unfolded!

In the sky, no flames could be seen, yet Hai Feng's body instantly melted away. Where he had stood, only a human-shaped pile of ash remained! A gust of wind blew, and the ashes scattered as if no one had ever been there at all!

'What kind of technique was that?'

Not only were the furious disciples of the Iron-blooded Hall baffled, but even the people on Qin Li's side were shocked beyond words. Their opponent had been a super expert at the Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm!

'To be burned to death so silently! Was that also a combat technique? Or was it a Divine Skill?'

'The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Only I am Venerable combat technique... is it really that powerful?'

'Is he a man, or a god?'

This move from Qin Li had completely transcended the understanding of combat techniques held by Martial Artists on the Celestial Essence Continent. It also shattered the last shred of meager courage in his enemies' hearts.

As a result, the subsequent fighting was far less spectacular. Everyone was too stunned to know what to say.

Even Shangguan Shiyu was deeply shocked. As her strength had increased, she naturally understood the powerful advantage of her own constitution. An Innate Spirit Body was something that might only appear once every few thousand, or even tens of thousands of years, in this world.

'And what kind of constitution does my husband have?' she wondered. 'For me, an Innate Spirit Body, to have not even the slightest advantage in front of him!'

'I thought I had finally caught up to him, becoming a Pill Nascent Soul Transformation Martial Artist just like him. But now I suddenly realize that not only have I not caught up to Qin Li, the gap between us is actually growing wider and wider!'

'My husband's power has completely surpassed my understanding!'

'Is he the reincarnation of a Divine Spirit?'

Shangguan Shiyu thought.

Meanwhile, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man was being suppressed by Bai Zhongshan. His power was inferior to that of Bai Zhongshan, an old monster who had lived for ten thousand years, to begin with. He also lacked the courage to face death. Furthermore, having just witnessed Hai Feng being incinerated by a single move from Qin Li, he was profoundly shaken. He felt that he absolutely had to get back alive and deliver this news to the Hai Family, because it was simply too important.

'Therefore, I cannot die!'

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man screamed inwardly. But the white-haired old man before him was like a monster, clinging to him relentlessly. Not only that, but his power seemed inexhaustible, as he unleashed one attack after another, crashing down on him like ocean waves.

'This won't do. I have to run!'

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man launched a desperate attack at Bai Zhongshan, then turned and grabbed at the void. He instantly tore a massive rift in space. The white-haired, youthful-faced old man charged directly into the fissure!

'I'm finally going to escape with my life!'

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, feeling the joy of having survived a disaster.
