I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 443
Chapter 443: Lifespan Sacrifice
“Who would’ve thought these two cultivators would be so hard to deal with…”
Qing Li’s expression changed slightly as she looked down at the two cultivators who were barely hanging on to life.
An Lin held onto Xu Xiaolan tightly despite the fact that grievous wounds riddled his entire body to the extent that he was completely unable to move.
“An Lin, An Lin… are you alright? Talk to me!”
Xu Xiaolan sobbed as she called An Lin’s name.
Qing Li stepped into the air directly above both of them before looking down. “Let me end this, Azure God Frost Techniques!”
The massive projection of an Azure Divine Bird once again appeared in the air. It flapped its wings and countless balls of azure mist fell from the sky, freezing heaven and earth in their descent. All the snow in the air instantly solidified upon making contact with the balls of azure mist before being pulverized into oblivion by an invisible force.
Xu Xiaolan held onto An Lin tightly, and she closed her eyes as the balls of azure mist descended upon them.
“Ding Dong!
“Detected that host is facing an extreme threat, are you willing to sacrifice a fifth of your life force? You will obtain unimaginable power as a result. Current lifespan has already been depleted by one fifth.”
“I am…”
Boom!
The balls of azure mist annihilated the ground below in a radius of several kilometers, leaving a gargantuan crater in the ground.
Qing Li was just about to depart when her expression suddenly faltered, and she turned to stare into the crater in the ground with incredulity in her expression.
“How…” Her voice quivered slightly.
The other four snow maidens also detected the change in Qing Li’s expression, and all four of them instantly descended to the edge of the crater. Then, their expressions shifted drastically after seeing the scenes unfolding before them.
Within the massive crater, a male hugged a female to himself as his hand glowed with a green light. Extremely potent regenerative power flowed into the female’s body, quickly healing all her injuries.
“Were you scared?” An Lin asked in a gentle voice.
Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips and shook her head as tears streaked down her face. “No, it’s not like I haven’t seen this before…”
She extended her slender hand to caress An Lin’s forehead. “When you used this power last time, there was only one black mark on your forehead. Why are there two now?”
“It’s obviously keeping a tally of how many times I’ve used this power. Did the attack just then impair your cognitive functions? I don’t think my healing spell technique can recover IQ!” An Lin replied with a resigned sigh.
Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter as a smile blossomed on her face like a pristine lotus flower under a night sky.
“So how many marks can you tally up in total?”
“Who knows? Maybe ten, maybe a hundred…”
“Don’t use it too much then… Otherwise, you’re going to be disfigured…”
“That doesn’t matter as long as you don’t dump me. I can use it to scare the enemy as well.”
…
The Holy Palace Leaders finally came to their senses while An Lin and Xu Xiaolan conversed with one another.
The five snow maidens looked at each other, and they saw the determination mirrored on the faces of their companions.
“All at once!” Qing Li commanded in a cold voice.
“Frosty Star Strike!” An ice mural appeared below the snow maiden with the ice bead. Countless minuscule stars were inscribed on the ice mural, and they all detached themselves from the mural before descending upon An Lin with devastating force.
“Frost Dragon of Hell!” A snow maiden with a pair of deep blue hands brought her palms together and activated all the energy within her body to materialize an ice dragon over ten kilometers in length. The ice dragon circled in the air above before crashing down toward An Lin.
“Extreme Light Sword.” A snow maiden swordswoman extended her white sword forward in an extremely simple strike.
However, her seemingly-simple strike was imbued with the Dao intent of the sword and pierced through heaven and earth like a bolt of white lightning with peerless might!
The snow maiden with the severe stomach injuries also extended a palm in what was more of a symbolic gesture, creating a snowy palm of over a thousand feet in size.
The projection of the Divine Azure Bird spread its wings before pouncing toward An Lin with boundless divine might!
“Does it still hurt?” An Lin inquired in a gentle voice.
“No.” Xu Xiaolan shook her head gently.
“Then give me one minute.” An Lin smiled.
Xu Xiaolan nodded in reply. “Ok!”
A white film of light enveloped Xu Xiaolan’s body as An Lin stepped into the air with his Evil-Slaying Sword trembling slightly in his hand.
“First technique, Wind Sword!”
In the face of the five earth-shattering attacks, he swung his black sword in a nonchalant gesture.
The wind rose as his sword fell!
An invisible gust of wind radiated outward in all directions, bringing with it the power to eliminate all things within the world that it deemed to be unworthy.
It was like a light breeze clearing all the impurities in the air.
It was like a warm spring breeze, banishing all the ice and snow between heaven and earth.
All the miniature stars descending toward them were blown away by the wind like droplets of rain; the gargantuan Frost Dragon of Hell didn’t even have a chance to yelp before it was reduced to vapor; the peerless might of the Extreme Light Sword was instantly shattered into pieces before being reduced to dust which blew away in the wind; and the powerful snow palm was instantly reduced to nothingness. The Divine Azure Bird tried to stage a panicked retreat, but the wind stripped it of all its feathers before it disappeared in a puff of azure smoke.
The dark clouds overhead in a radius of over a hundred kilometers were all blown away by this seemingly-gentle breeze.
The light of the sun shone upon the ground, bringing warmth to the Holy Glacial Lands for the first time in a long while.
“Phew… The weather is pretty good today.” A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he looked up at the radiant sun.
All five Return to Void Stage snow maidens had their eyes wide open in shock. They all felt like they were dreaming!
“Impossible… What kind of power is this…” Qing Li muttered with unadulterated shock on her face.
She then spewed forth a mouthful of blood from the backlash of having her Divine Azure Bird vanquished.
“This power is already something beyond our understanding… No wonder he was able to prevent the seal of the Divine Dao Box from taking effect and wound the High Priestess… We were all too careless! Our enemy is definitely a cultivator beyond Return to Void Stage!” Another snow maiden vomited a mouthful of blood from the backlash of having her sword shattered.
“Palace Leader Qing Li, we should retre—” The snow maiden with blue hands didn’t even get a chance to finish her sentence before her eyes widened in shock and a wound extended from her head to her lower abdomen.
An Lin had already appeared behind her and ended her life with one strike of his sword!
When did he appear there? Why weren’t there any spatial fluctuations?!
The remaining four snow maidens all stared at the snow maiden who had just been sliced in half with fear on their faces.
“Disperse and run!” Qing Li yelled.
All four snow maidens immediately began retreating at full speed in different directions.
An Lin observed heaven and earth, and he felt like everything was under his control. He could clearly feel that he was able to communicate with all the snowflakes in the air as well as each and every one of the atoms of matter between heaven and earth.
Lightning Manipulation Technique!
Boom!
A bolt of white lightning suddenly descended from the clear blue sky before striking the snow maiden swordswoman with the power of divine retribution. She was instantly reduced to ash and dust.
Mountain Quaking Fist!
The power of earth radiated from his golden fist, sealing the space around him before crashing toward the snow maiden with the white bead.
The snow maiden screeched in terror as she unleashed an ice crystal barrier before her.
Boom!
The fist projection collided with the ice crystal barrier, and the space around the site of collision fractured into a series of large spatial rifts.
The golden fist projection steamrolled through the ice crystal barrier before pulverizing the white bead and engulfing the snow maiden.
Qing Li was gripped by extreme fear as she used her spatial manipulation powers to flee through the air. She held the Flame-Sealing Disc with a white-knuckled grip as endless remorse swept through her heart.
Qing Li knew that An Lin’s power was triggered by a specific set of conditions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried so hard to escape.
If she hadn’t targeted these two and instead flew directly for the Holy Capital, none of this would have happened.
Why did she target them? Why did she force An Lin into a corner like that?
Qing Li’s heart was filled with remorse, but she didn’t give up. She had to do something…
An azure bead flew out of her mouth, and her aura quickly diminished. However, she still gritted her teeth and continued to escape in order to fight for her life.
Right at this moment, she suddenly felt a flash of heat approaching her.
A red beam of light punctured her body. It was a crimson-colored arrow of flames!
The arrow pierced through heaven and earth and instantly slew the snow maiden from over four hundred kilometers away!
The scorching flames burned a massive hole in her body and instantly erased her life force.
