The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 257
Chapter 257 Display One’s Might by Controlling Qi
Actually, in their experience this time, the failure of the mission was only secondary. Losing face was the most important thing. The reputation of the Flying Frost Sect would be damaged, and they would definitely be punished when they returned.
Especially Cao Longfei, a genius on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, who was defeated by an unknown figure. This news would spread throughout the Eastern Region, and the Flying Frost Sect would forever be nailed to the pillar of shame.
On the other hand, the expressions of the disciples of the Carefree Sect were much more relaxed. They did not suffer much loss this time.
Although he hadn’t completed his mission and returned empty-handed, Hong Pengshan hadn’t taken part in the competition. If he hadn’t failed, it wouldn’t be embarrassing. Despite the suspicion of avoiding such a move, there was no basis for them to say anything they wished.
Hong Pengshan heard the people from the Flying Frost Sect say that they wanted to destroy Jiangyuan City. He suddenly said, “When you want to destroy Jiangyuan City, remember to let one person go.”
“Who?” Cao Longfei asked.
“Jiang Yuan City Lord’s daughter!” Hong Pengshan’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
“Oh? Could it be that Brother Pengshan has taken a fancy to Miss Su?”
Hong Pengshan shook his head, “No, I just saw that her aptitude is not bad. She just intends to recommend her to the sect as a disciple. She definitely has no other thoughts.”
He said those words with a serious expression. Everyone laughed secretly when they heard him. He was obviously interested in that beauty, but he still wanted to conceal it like this. Did they really think that others wouldn’t be able to see through it?
“Alright, for Brother Peng Shan’s sake, I’ll let her off then!” Cao Longfei’s expression gradually became ferocious. “I want to repay the humiliation I have suffered a hundred times!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away, “There’s no chance! You can’t go back.”
Li Qing walked out with an indifferent expression.
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that there would be people beside them. They all turned their heads and saw an old man with white hair. It was hard to guess his strength.
“Who are you?” Hong Pengshan stood up with a serious expression.
“Forget who I am. Do you think I will tell you my identity?” Li Qing chuckled and said, “By the way, I’m here to rob you!”
“Robbery?” Everyone’s expressions were a little ugly. They didn’t expect that someone would rob them. This kind of thing had never happened before.
“Do you know who we are? How dare you rob us! You’re courting death!” Someone shouted.
Li Qing sneered. “Of course I know who you are. Among the direct disciples of the Flying Frost Sect and Freedom Sect, there are also two geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.”
“Since you know who we are, how dare you do such a thing?” They found it inconceivable.
Hong Pengshan let out a long breath and said with a bitter smile, “Since this person knows their identities and still dares to rob them, it is obvious that he has nothing to fear.”
Li Qing laughed loudly, “Looks like you’re not stupid. I came here to rob you because I know that you are disciples of famous sects. You must have a lot of treasures on you. Otherwise, what’s the point of robbing a few poor ghosts?”
Someone else asked, “Aren’t you afraid of revenge from our sect?”
“Haha, as long as I kill all of you, who would know that I did it? Coincidentally, you guys have a conflict with Jiangyuan City, so I blame it on Jiangyuan City. This plan is really perfect!”
“Arrogant! He actually wants to kill all of us!” Everyone was furious.
Li Qing smiled strangely and said, “After all this nonsense, it’s time to put away the net. Look around, there’s no chance of escaping.”
Everyone woke up and discovered that the surroundings were already surrounded by black and white gas. It was not very conspicuous in the dark night, and no one noticed it for a moment.
These black and white gases were precisely Yin and Yang Qi. Li Qing released a portion of them from the Yin and Yang cylinders and surrounded everyone to prevent any fish from escaping the net.
“You think you can trap us with some gas? What a joke!” Someone snorted coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Yin and Yang Qi surging rapidly. Then, he condensed a black and white spear and shot towards this person.
Chi!
This disciple let out a miserable scream and was instantly pierced through his body, killing him.
“What! What a powerful method! Who exactly are you!” Everyone’s faces turned pale. Being surrounded by so much black and white gas, being able to send out spears to attack the people inside was simply comparable to a killing array.
What Li Qing had just used was, of course, the newly learned Yin Yang Qi Controlling Technique. It could condense the Yin Yang Qi into various shapes and kill enemies.
It had to be said that this Yin Yang Qi Controlling Technique was too useful.
As he spoke, the Yin and Yang Qi continued to change. Countless spears were condensed and surrounded the people inside in all directions.
“Kill!”
Everyone felt that things were not going well, so they didn’t dare to neglect it. They immediately pulled out their weapons and began to attack.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The spears were extremely terrifying. They pierced through the void and shot towards them, killing a few more people and nailing them to the ground.
However, as direct disciples of great sects, they had some formidable methods. All of them used their full strength, using their ultimate techniques, and finally managed to block these spears.
Just as they were resisting the dense spears around them, Li Qing brazenly attacked. The Yin and Yang energies gathered in his hands, forming a giant Yin and Yang grinding plate that directly threw it at the crowd.
Rumble!
It was like a heavenly wheel crushing through the sky, emitting a heaven-shaking loud noise. The Yin Yang Grinding Wheel rotated rapidly and crushed everyone.
After Li Qing obtained the Yin Yang Qi Controlling Technique, the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel’s divine ability became even more powerful. In the past, he could only condense a phantom image, but now, he could actually condense a large entity. Its power was several times stronger than before.
“After comprehending the true meaning of Yin and Yang and learning the Yin and Yang Qi Controlling Technique, my control over the Yin and Yang Qi is simply like using my fingers.” He had a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Before this round of Yin Yang Grinding Wheel could reach his eyes, a boundless pressure pounced on his face. Everyone felt as if their bodies and souls were about to be torn apart, and their faces began to distort.
“Not good, this person is too powerful. Everyone, block this millstone with all your might!” Hong Pengshan said with a frightened expression. An attack of this level was definitely the attack of an expert of the older generation. This old man in front of him was not easy to provoke!
Everyone didn’t dare to be negligent. They all attacked together, launching powerful attacks one after another, gathering into a terrifying energy storm.
Boom!
The two forces met and fought in the air for a while. Then, the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel crushed their attacks.
‘No-‘ they cried out in horror.
The surroundings were filled with Yin and Yang Qi. There was no room to dodge. Seeing that everyone was going to die here, Hong Pengshan finally took out his life-saving item, which was the secret treasure pagoda.
The pagoda flew out and rose in the wind, turning into a colossus.
