Chapter 194: The Killing Intent of a Primordial Martial Artist!
"Elder Zhu..."
Jiang Ye looked down at Zhu Ying, who was lying in the pool of blood with his vitality completely severed, and shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart.
Before, in the Tai'an Mountains, he didn't have a good impression of this elder of Jin Chen Peak.
The style of beating and scolding disciples at every turn was truly hard to compliment.
However, compared to Lu Xiao, this peak master who ran away...
Their death indeed appeared heroic.
"According to what he said, there are still Qisha Sect demons on Jin Chen Peak, let's go up and see!"
Liu Qingyu opened her mouth with a solemn face, the usual calm in her tone replaced by cold killing intent.
Jiang Ye nodded, and then both figures swept out simultaneously, rushing towards the peak of Jin Chen Peak like wind and electricity.
Along this road, corpses of disciples lay everywhere on both sides of the mountain road, some lying on the small paths leading down the mountain, killed while being chased while fleeing.
Some gathered in groups of three or five, still maintaining the posture of forming an array to meet the enemy before death.
The two were silent all the way, just walking faster and faster, their brows knitting deeper and deeper.
A moment later.
A fierce sound of fighting came from above, and the two immediately accelerated.
Turning the last mountain bend, the tragic scene in front of the Jin Chen Peak master's hall hit their eyes without any cover.
The square in front of the hall was almost covered with corpses.
There were inner sect disciples, deacons, and several Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists wearing elder robes lying in the pool of blood, stacked together in a mess.
And in the center of that mountain of corpses and sea of blood, an Embracing the Pill Realm martial artist wearing Jin Chen Peak elder robes and covered in blood was being chased and killed by a tall black-robed person.
That black-robed person attacked extremely ruthlessly, every palm strike wrapped in thick Earth-type True Qi and evil killing intent, gravel flying where the palm wind passed, the ground cracking.
That elder was struggling to support, his injuries already too many to count, his footsteps staggering as if he would fall at any moment.
"It's Chen Tao..."
Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes froze; she recognized at a glance that the Embracing the Pill Realm martial artist being chased was Jin Chen Peak Elder Chen Tao.
She raised her hand and a strand of Water-type True Qi shot through the air.
That True Qi turned into a blue water snake in mid-air, wrapped in hazy water vapor, sweeping through the void like a living thing, opening its giant mouth full of fangs to bite fiercely at the back of the black-robed person's neck.
"Hmm?! How could their support arrive so fast... what exactly are those people doing..."
The tall black-robed person turned around suddenly, seeing Liu Qingyu's moment, the scarlet eyes under the hood shrank slightly.
He didn't go to chase Chen Tao again, his footsteps stalling.
Both hands suddenly closed, Earth-type True Qi surging from his palms, condensing into an earth-yellow long spear as thick as an arm in front of him, with a strand of evil killing intent wrapped around the spear tip.
He roared, the earth spear left his hand, meeting the blue water snake with a muffled sound of breaking through the air.
Bang—!!!
A muffled sound.
The earth spear and water snake collided fiercely in mid-air, the yellow and blue lights intertwining fiercely, and after a moment they collapsed simultaneously, turning into a sky full of fine water droplets and dust crumbs falling down.
The black-robed person narrowed his eyes, a flash of solemnity in his scarlet eyes:
"This woman's Water-type True Qi is somewhat wrong..."
Earth overcomes water.
Moreover, his Earth-type True Qi was mixed with killing intent, its lethality stronger than ordinary earth Qi by more than a notch.
Logically speaking, his earth spear should have pierced through the water snake like a hot knife through butter, and then stabbed towards that woman without decreasing in momentum...
But that collision just now was a tie, and neither side took half a point of advantage.
However, before he could think more, his heart trembled inexplicably, and a chill rushed from his spine to his forehead without warning.
He looked back instinctively.
A fist wrapped in red-gold True Qi had quietly approached at some point, rapidly enlarging in his field of vision.
"Damn it... there's another one? When exactly did he get behind me..."
The black-robed person's heart was shocked.
From the exchange with Liu Qingyu just now until now, it was only a few breaths, he didn't even notice the approach of the aura, and this person had already touched behind him silently.
That scorching fist wind rushing towards his face made the hair on his whole body stand on end.
He didn't have time to think more, instinctively pouring all the Earth-type True Qi in his body towards his front, condensing into a thick earth-yellow barrier in a hurry, like a small city wall a zhang high erected out of thin air.
Bang—!!!
The fire Qi hit the earth wall, making a thunder-like explosion.
"Not good!!!"
The black-robed person's pupils shrank suddenly.
Red-gold light erupted suddenly at the point of impact, like magma splashed on a mud wall, scorching flame waves frantically penetrating through every crack in the earth wall.
The black-robed person felt the earth wall in front of him tremble violently under the impact of that domineering fire Qi.
Stalemate for less than a moment, the wall surface began to appear large patches of cracks, earth-yellow True Qi fragments peeling off, actually vaguely showing a trend of collapsing.
He desperately increased the injection of True Qi, wanting to repair the cracks.
However, just at this moment, countless water droplets attacked from behind.
Liu Qingyu's Water-type True Qi turned into a sky full of fine water droplets, every drop carrying great penetrating power, pouring down from the flank like a rainstorm, sealing all his retreat paths.
Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu joined forces; one used rigid, overbearing power to suppress from the front, while the other used yin-soft penetration to strangle from the flanks. Though their coordination was improvised on the spot, it was unexpectedly tacit.
That black-robed person was attacked from both front and back, no matter how thick the Earth-type True Qi was, it couldn't withstand two completely different yet equally pure True Qis attacking simultaneously from different directions.
After supporting for only a few moves, the earth wall in front of him was blasted into complete collapse by Jiang Ye's punch, turning into a sky full of earth-yellow crumbs.
Immediately after, Liu Qingyu's water droplets took advantage of the situation, piercing dozens of fine holes in his protective True Qi.
Finally, Jiang Ye's fist Qi drove straight in, slamming hard into the center of his chest.
The black-robed person spat out a mist of blood mixed with internal organ fragments, his whole person flying backwards like a puppet with broken strings, slamming heavily onto the ground, smashing several blue stone bricks, twitching twice before there was no movement.
"Good cooperation, Elder Jiang."
Liu Qingyu withdrew the remaining water-blue True Qi from her fingertips, her star-like eyes lingering on Jiang Ye for an instant, a flash of obscure brilliance in the depths of her eyes.
She previously felt Jiang Ye was a madman like Luo Song...
Acting without regard for consequences, attacking with killing moves, even doing things like sneak-attacking Zhao Jing without any psychological burden.
But in this battle today, she suddenly felt his 'madness' seemed different from Luo Song's 'madness'.
Luo Song was a prairie fire, burning both friend and foe alike.
Jiang Ye was like an undercurrent in a deep pool, calm on the surface, but full of calculations that were precise enough to make one's heart palpitate.
Jiang Ye nodded slightly, not responding.
His gaze had already crossed the corpse of the black-robed person on the ground, falling onto the tragic battlefield in front of the peak master's hall, his old eyes calm as water, showing no excessive emotion.
On the side, Jin Chen Peak Elder Chen Tao, who was covered in blood, looked at the corpse of the black-robed person who was blasted to death on the ground with a somewhat dull gaze.
His body trembled uncontrollably twice, finally unable to hold on anymore, sitting down in the pool of blood with a thud.
He lifted his head with exhaustion, looking at the two people in front of him who pulled Jin Chen Peak back from the edge of destruction, his voice hoarse and almost broken, but full of gratitude for surviving a disaster:
"Many thanks to Elder Jiang and Liu Fengzhu Liu for the rescue..."
"If it weren't for the two of you arriving, Jin Chen Peak today would probably..."
Liu Qingyu stepped forward quickly, condensing a strand of water-blue True Qi containing a faint starlight at her fingertips, gently dripping it onto Chen Tao's shoulder.
That starlight seeped into his body, smoothing out his chaotic aura a bit, which was considered temporarily stabilizing his injuries.
She withdrew her fingers and asked in a deep voice: "Elder Chen, the situation on Jin Chen Peak now..."
Hearing this, a flash of uncontrollable grief appeared on Chen Tao's blood-stained face.
He bit his teeth tightly, his voice trembling:
"The Embracing the Pill Realm elders of Jin Chen Peak, except for me and Sun Hong who hasn't returned from an outside mission, have all died in battle..."
"Because of the Liu Fengzhu's order... the disciples in the peak also had heavy casualties..."
"As for the Liu Fengzhu... he..."
He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of humiliated anger.
He really couldn't say it.
Their Jin Chen Peak Liu Fengzhu actually abandoned the peak and fled...
Seeing these corpses all over the ground, this Embracing the Pill Realm elder who was nearly sixty years old, the tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, mixing with the blood on his face and rolling down, a vague sobbing sound coming from his throat.
Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu looked at each other, both shaking their heads with solemn faces.
Jin Chen Peak suffered heavy damage in this battle, even if it could hold on tonight, it didn't know how many years it would take to recover.
And all of this didn't need to be so tragic.
Liu Qingyu scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice:
"I estimate Lu Xiao has escaped from Jin Chen Peak... and the other Qisha Sect demon also chased after him."
"This person deserves to die."
"However, now that the enemy is in front, there is no time to manage him, let's go to the nearby Houtu Peak first!"
"Zhao Jing's injuries are heavy and not yet healed, maybe his situation is even more serious than Jin Chen Peak here!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
Immediately after, the two exchanged a few words with the tearful Chen Tao and hurried towards Houtu Peak.
Halfway there, Jiang Ye suddenly spoke, his voice not high, but clearly transmitted into Liu Qingyu's ears in this rushing night wind:
"Liu Fengzhu Liu, you say the Sect Master..."
He didn't finish, but the meaning in his words was already very clear.
Two Primordial martial artists besieged Juding Peak simultaneously; he didn't have the bottom in his heart whether Sect Master Pei Yunchuan could hold on until they freed their hands to support.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyu had more confidence than him.
She didn't slow down her speed, but her tone deepened a bit:
"Sect Master Senior Brother cultivated three True Qis, his strength is unfathomable, far from what ordinary Divine Qi Realm peaks can measure."
"He also once introduced Primordial Qi into his body, although he failed to truly step into the Primordial Realm, he also had many gains, his foundation is so thick that no one in this Tianqing Sect can compare."
She turned her head slightly, her star-like eyes shining with firm light in the night:
"Moreover, he also cultivated many secret techniques of the Tianqing Sect, and then supplemented with Tianqing Spirit Marrow..."
"As long as it's not a death fight."
"Even for two Primordial martial artists, wanting to kill him is not that easy."
"The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation of each peak first, then summon the remaining Divine Qi Realm martial artists to go to Juding Peak together to support the Sect Master."
The voice fell, her speed increased by another three points, and the moon-white long dress fluttered in the night wind.
Hearing this, a flash of strange color flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.
It seems that this Tianqing Sect Master is even more powerful than he imagined.
When the two arrived at Houtu Peak, both were stunned.
The scene in front of them was completely different from what they had anticipated.
There was no tragedy of corpses everywhere, no panicked crying of disciples.
On the contrary, the battle in the square in front of the peak master's hall was in full swing.
There was only one attacking Qisha Sect demon, and the one fighting him fiercely was not only Zhao Jing, whose injuries had not yet healed, but also a figure dressed in green robes with a righteous face.
It was the Sect Master's personal disciple, Zhou Yufeng.
Zhou Yufeng's Metal-type True Qi was sharp and pressing, every palm strike like a sword out of its sheath, specifically picking the weakest point of the black-robed person's defense to attack.
Although Zhao Jing's injuries had not yet healed, his face was as pale as paper, his breath short and shallow, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, his attacks without any reservations, every move and style being a method of mutual destruction, completely leaving no retreat for himself.
The two attacked and defended, their cooperation not considered tacit, but they stubbornly dragged the black-robed person firmly in the center of the square.
There were also a group of Embracing the Pill Realm elders from Houtu Peak providing support on the periphery, surrounding them, compressing the black-robed person's maneuvering space step by step.
After fighting for a long time without success, the black-robed person began to get a bit anxious.
Facing two Divine Qi Realm and one complete Embracing the Pill Realm battle array alone, he couldn't take any advantage, originally hoping for his companions on other peaks to finish the battle quickly and come to support, but after waiting for so long, he didn't even see a ghost shadow.
A hint of ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"This Zhao Jing, compared to Lu Xiao, is more like a person..."
A flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.
He didn't expect that this Zhao Jing, who was beaten until his face was lost on the martial arts arena by him, would fight to the death without retreating at the moment of the sect's survival.
Such hardness, it could not be considered a disgrace to the name of the Tianqing Sect peak master.
"Elder Jiang, let's go help them!"
Seeing that Houtu Peak did not have the tragic casualties of Jin Chen Peak, Liu Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The two immediately restrained their auras, quietly touching towards the battlefield under the cover of the night and mountain rocks.
The black-robed person couldn't attack for a long time, a flash of impatience in his scarlet eyes, suddenly his figure swayed and rushed towards Zhao Jing fiercely, killing intent surging around his body, clearly intending to trade injury for life to finish off this wounded person first.
Zhao Jing gritted his teeth to meet him, Earth-type True Qi condensing into a heavy barrier in front of him, but he was injured after all, and there was a faint stagnation in the flow of True Qi.
Just at this moment, a hazy water mist surged from all directions without warning, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.
The black-robed person's movements stalled slightly in the water mist.
It was this moment of delay, a thin figure had already quietly approached behind him like a ghost.
Jiang Ye's Tiger Form punch wrapped in domineering red-gold True Qi, a fierce strike from behind, directly pierced through his heart.
The black-robed person lowered his head, looking blankly at the scorching fist peak that pierced through his body, his scarlet eyes full of unbelievable horror, his lips moving as if wanting to say something, but he never had the chance to speak again.
The water mist gradually dissipated, and the black-robed person's corpse slammed heavily onto the ground, stirring up a piece of fine dust.
This sudden scene made everyone on the scene stunned for a moment.
The demon who was aggressive just now was executed in a flash, this change came too fast.
"Liu Fengzhu Liu! Elder Jiang! You came just in time!"
Zhou Yufeng was the first to come back to his senses, rushing forward quickly, his tone full of uncontrollable excitement.
Zhao Jing stood in place with a dull face.
He looked at the black-robed person's corpse on the ground, then looked at the suddenly appeared Liu Qingyu and Jiang Ye, his eyes full of shock and complex mixed expressions.
Especially when his gaze fell on Jiang Ye, that gratitude was mixed with a hint of indescribable awkwardness.
He instinctively wanted to turn his head away to avoid Jiang Ye's gaze, but his neck stiffened and he stopped abruptly, even the roots of his ears turning slightly red.
Who could have thought that at the most critical moment of Houtu Peak, the one who came to relieve the siege was the person he hated to the bone not long ago.
The surrounding Embracing the Pill Realm elders also surrounded them one after another after being stunned for a moment to thank Liu Qingyu.
When their gazes fell on Jiang Ye, their expressions were also somewhat complex.
This Tianyang Peak Elder Jiang's path to fame in the Tianqing Sect was almost stepped on their Houtu Peak.
First, he suppressed and killed Zhang Kui, then severely wounded his own Liu Fengzhu on the martial arts arena, yet now he had stepped in to help at the very moment the Thick Earth Peak needed it most.
This taste of mixed gratitude and hatred made them not know what expression to use to face him for a while.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face walked out of the crowd, walked straight to Jiang Ye's front and bowed solemnly, his voice loud and sincere: "Many thanks to Elder Jiang for the help! This favor, my Houtu Peak will remember it!"
Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
He recognized this person, it was Elder Qian of Houtu Peak.
When he went to the Tai'an Mountains to find the previous dynasty ruins before, they had also dealt with each other.
At the same time, Juding Peak top.
The Tianqing Hall, which represented the majesty of the Tianqing Sect in the past, had now turned into a piece of messy ruins.
The white jade stone pillars were broken in half, the blue stone bricks were lifted for the most part, the giant stone incense burner in front of the hall rolled to the side, the incense ash and gravel in the burner mixed into a mess.
In the night, the light of the three-colored True Qi dodged flexibly under the two dark, abyss-like killing intents.
Suddenly.
"Their auras are disappearing one by one... something is not right, I'll go take a look!"
A black-robed figure swept out from Juding Peak. ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
