Chapter 789: Killing the Nascent Soul, Settling the Grudge (Seeking monthly votes)

~21 min read 4,008 words

Facing the green-robed old man's obstruction, Feng He did not care in the slightest. Black light flashed on his body, and he wanted to bypass the other party to pursue Qiu Daoping's Nascent Soul.

Seeing that the other party did not put his magic treasure in his eyes at all, the green-robed old man was also somewhat displeased, and magical power was continuously poured into the magic treasure before him.

The green net transformed by the magic treasure instantly moved its position, blocking Feng He, who had changed direction.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Feng He directly swung the black long spear in his hand and stabbed hard at the green net, wanting to forcibly break the obstruction of the other party's magic treasure.

But facing Feng He's powerful strike, the green-robed old man was also unhurried, taking out a bottle of high-grade spiritual water and somewhat reluctantly scattering it directly onto the magic treasure in his hand.

This spiritual water had just touched the green net before him when it suddenly came to life and began to grow rapidly, increasing in size by dozens of times in the blink of an eye.

Although the black long spear in Feng He's hand pierced the green net before him with one strike, before he could cross this obstacle, the green net instantly healed under its crazy growth.

In a short moment, Feng He was trapped in the canyon by this constantly growing green net, which had turned into a green cage.

"Hmph! Even natural spiritual water was taken out. Brother Yuan is truly willing to save him. However, relying on this to block me from avenging my grievances, I fear you still cannot do it."

"Whether I can do it or not, only by trying will I know. For the sake of the Tianhai Alliance and the Tianhai Cultivation World, no matter what, I cannot let you pass at will today."

Feeling the powerful pressure coming from the green cage, the green-robed old man immediately cast spells with both hands with a solemn expression, controlling the magic treasure before him to block Feng He from breaking free.

Although he knew he definitely couldn't stop the other party, he could only try his best to win a little time for Qiu Daoping, pinning his hopes on the other party breaking the array shield above and escaping the canyon.

The escape speed of a main Nascent Soul is generally faster than the cultivator themselves. As long as Qiu Daoping could safely escape this barren island, he would still have a great chance to shake off Feng He's pursuit and survive.

Just as the green-robed old man was doing his best to block Feng He, Qiu Daoping, who had transformed into a main Nascent Soul, had already arrived above the canyon and opened his small mouth to spit out a crimson flying sword magic treasure.

This crimson flying sword was Qiu Daoping's main magic treasure and was itself a fourth-grade mid-quality magic treasure of very high quality.

It was just that because only the main Nascent Soul remained, the power of this main magic treasure had also dropped quite a bit compared to before, and its grade was now about the same as an ordinary fourth-grade low-quality magic treasure.

After taking out the main magic treasure, Qiu Daoping's Nascent Soul looked at the two major arrays blocking above his head and directly cast a spell to swing a sword light toward the sky.

Qiu Daoping, who had voluntarily given up his physical body, although his own cultivation and battle ability had suddenly dropped by more than half, could only exert three or four percent of his usual strength.

But Qiu Daoping was, after all, a fifth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator, and his own strength was not bad. Even now, with only his main Nascent Soul, he could still be equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator who had just condensed a Nascent Soul.

And the two defensive arrays Feng He and the others had set up in advance above the canyon, although they were third-grade top-quality defensive arrays with outstanding defensive capabilities, wanting to block a Nascent Soul cultivator breaking the array with all his might still seemed somewhat difficult.

With just one sword light, the "Asura Yin Fire Array" below was instantly shaken, and even Song Yuanli, who was controlling the array, almost couldn't stand firm.

Seeing the opponent coming fiercely and wanting to escape quickly, Song Yuanli, who was in the array eye, also knew that if he let the opponent go rashly at this time, Feng He's revenge plan, plotted for a hundred years, would very likely be destroyed in one fell swoop.

As Song Yuanli, who wanted to repay Feng He's great kindness with all his heart, facing this situation, he could only hate his own low cultivation. Besides casting spells with all his might to stabilize the array, he had no other better way.

And Qiu Daoping, who was anxious to escape, did not give Song Yuanli much time to react. He swung three fierce sword lights in succession and soon cut the gray light shield formed by the "Asura Yin Fire Array" at the very bottom into two halves.

Seeing the first array before him easily broken, a smile appeared on the small face of Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul. He began to accumulate magical power again, preparing to break the next array blocking before him in one go.

The fierce strike of a Nascent Soul cultivator also caused Song Yuanli, who was controlling the array with all his might, to suffer array backlash and be shaken back several steps, and he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

But this slight injury did not affect Song Yuanli. Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward again and poured all his own magical power into the final "Tiangang Five Elements Array." This was also the final line of defense to stop the opponent from escaping.

The huge commotion caused by the "Asura Yin Fire Array" being broken by Qiu Daoping also reached the eyes of Song Qingming and Ye Lin, who were blocking "Falling Maple Valley" above.

"Not good, the array is about to be unable to support it. Fellow Daoist Ye, leave this to you first, I'm going down to help!"

Seeing Qiu Daoping swing his sword again, shaking the "Tiangang Five Elements Array," a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of Song Qingming and the other, and they couldn't help but feel a bit worried in their hearts.

After pondering for a moment, Song Qingming decided to go down to help Song Yuanli delay time first, directly throwing the flag magic treasure controlling the green dragon in his hand to Ye Lin beside him.

Ye Lin did not oppose Song Qingming's idea of going down to help, just nodding slightly to take the magic treasure, and then gave the other party a reassuring look.

The four from "Falling Maple Valley" before them were not strong. Although Song Qingming's departure would bring him quite a bit of pressure, Ye Lin still had the confidence to delay these people for a period of time.

Their purpose itself was not to kill the opponent here, just to stop the other party and not let them easily approach the array above the canyon.

Although Song Qingming had been blocking the several Core Formation Elders of "Falling Maple Valley" outside the array, because the battle here was not so fierce, he had always been paying attention to the battlefield below the canyon.

Seeing Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul being forced out, Song Qingming also understood in his heart that the opponent had been forced to a dead end by Feng He, otherwise, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be absolutely impossible for him to easily give up his physical body.

Now, Qiu Daoping, who had abandoned his physical body, no longer had the courage to continue fighting and only wanted to escape this place quickly.

And Feng He below was entangled by the green-robed old man and couldn't catch up for a time. At this critical moment, time was extremely important for both sides.

As long as he could delay the opponent for a while longer and win a little time for Feng He, Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul would definitely be unable to escape, which might decide the final result of this battle.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much. After his figure entered the array, he immediately cast a spell and waved his hand, summoning "Golden Wind," "Silver Armor," and a "One-Horned Rhinoceros" puppet beast radiating Core Formation stage aura.

After the three puppets appeared, they immediately combined into a triangular array before Song Qingming, and then a golden rune lit up on their bodies, forming a golden defensive shield before them.

These were the Core Formation corpse puppets and puppet beasts Song Qingming had spent a lot of energy cultivating after condensing his Core Formation. They were also the powerful combat strength he relied on most at present, and this was the first time he had released them all in front of others.

The triangular array combined by "Golden Wind," "Silver Armor," and the "One-Horned Rhinoceros" puppet beast was the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" Song Qingming had improved after obtaining the array secret manual from Daoist Heavenly Corpse.

After the puppet array released by Song Qingming was composed of the three Core Formation level combat strengths before him, its power had reached the peak of Core Formation, not much worse than the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" before him.

Although it could not confront a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on, it should still be able to obstruct the other party a little.

It was just a pity that refining this puppet array required quite a bit of time. Song Qingming hadn't had time to refine the third-grade top-quality puppet beast he obtained from Qiu Wuxin and integrate it into the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array," otherwise the power of the puppet array could have increased quite a bit more now.

Qiu Daoping, who was preparing to break the final obstacle of the "Tiangang Five Elements Array," saw Song Qingming and the many puppets suddenly appear to block before him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Juniors! You dare block my path? Get out of my way!"

Qiu Daoping was anxious to escape from the canyon at this moment and didn't want to entangle with Song Qingming, this small Core Formation cultivator at all. With an angry shout, he launched the crimson sword light he had already accumulated, heading straight for Song Qingming's position.

In his view, although he had lost his physical body and his strength was greatly damaged, he was still a Nascent Soul combat strength.

Even if Song Qingming could produce so many Core Formation puppets, they were all combat strengths of early and mid-stage Core Formation with average strength, far from having the strength to contend with him, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, Qiu Daoping, who was full of confidence, revealed a look of surprise the next moment after launching the attack and couldn't help but frown.

After the crimson sword light reached before Song Qingming, it did not crush the opponent in one strike as Qiu Daoping had imagined.

It was actually blocked by Song Qingming and the three puppets before him jointly casting spells, and it did not attack the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" behind Song Qingming that was already tottering.

"This is a puppet array... I truly underestimated this fellow. No wonder Wuxin fell into the hands of this person."

Seeing that Song Qingming and these puppets actually had the ability to receive his full-force strike as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Qiu Daoping, besides surprise, also had a bit more anger.

Seeing that he was only one step away from escaping the canyon, he didn't expect Song Qingming, this fellow he hadn't expected, to emerge and block his path.

It was not just Qiu Daoping who was very surprised. Other cultivators nearby, seeing Song Qingming block Qiu Daoping's strike head-on, also all showed a look of shock on their faces.

Especially the several Core Formation cultivators of "Falling Maple Valley" who were blocked outside the canyon. Previously, seeing Song Qingming go to intercept Qiu Daoping, they had thought the other party was just bluffing and acting like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

They never expected that the unremarkable Song Qingming before them actually hid such powerful magical abilities, and had actually blocked Qiu Daoping's attack. Ye Lin, who was also a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, had been with Song Qingming for a long time, and the two had exchanged cultivation insights many times on the way to the "Tianhai Cultivation World."

In his eyes, Song Qingming's cultivation and spiritual root talent were not particularly outstanding. He had been worried about Song Qingming all along, and he also hadn't expected the other party to have such strong battle ability.

It was no wonder Feng He had chosen Song Qingming to go to the "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm to hunt down Qiu Wuxin. It seemed he had also taken a fancy to the other party's extraordinary magical abilities.

Song Yuanli, who was in the array eye, had been controlling the array to block Qiu Daoping all along, and he naturally had already deeply experienced the terrifying battle strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just now, seeing Song Qingming suddenly appear before the array to block Qiu Daoping from breaking the array, Song Yuanli shouted anxiously, his heart almost in his throat, fearing that Song Qingming would suffer something because of this.

But what he hadn't expected was that Song Qingming actually had so many Core Formation level puppets and corpse puppets on him, and relied on them to form a "Puppet Array" to successfully block the opponent's attack.

Seeing that Song Qingming was only shaken back a distance by the opponent's attack and had nothing serious, a trace of relief appeared on Song Yuanli's face, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the people around were shocked, Song Qingming himself had a very nervous expression on his face at this moment, with no relaxed look.

Just now, although he borrowed the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" to jointly block Qiu Daoping's attack head-on, he also clearly felt the opponent's powerful battle strength.

Song Qingming himself was not injured by the opponent's strike, but the puppets blocking in front had now all appeared with different degrees of damage, it was just that the people around couldn't see clearly for a moment.

According to the current situation, being able to block Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul strike safely was almost the limit of what Song Qingming could do. Next, if Feng He couldn't arrive in time, he would also have no way to persist for too long.

Before Song Qingming could consider too much, Qiu Daoping's magical power had already gathered quickly. Taking advantage of Song Qingming's unstable footing, a sword shot directly toward Song Qingming's position.

Seeing this, Song Qingming could only grit his teeth and cast a spell again to control the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" to block before him, while he himself poured all his magical power into the array.

Now that it had reached this step, Song Qingming did not want to easily let the opponent's main Nascent Soul go. Even if he had to abandon the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" before him, he had to try his best to delay the opponent.

Although it was indeed not easy to refine this "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array," compared to these external objects, being able to fulfill his promise to help Feng He avenge his grievances and fulfill his wish was absolutely more worth doing for Song Qingming.

The second crimson sword light rushed over quickly and reached Song Qingming in the blink of an eye, making him instantly feel a huge pressure, and he could only desperately grit his teeth and operate his magical power to resist.

After the two collided, the crimson sword light clearly occupied some advantage. Only hearing a loud "Boom!" sound, Song Qingming, along with the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" before him, were all shaken away by the aftermath.

This time, although he barely blocked the opponent's attack, the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" before Song Qingming had long since been disrupted by the crimson sword light, and even the "One-Horned Rhinoceros" puppet beast was destroyed by the opponent's crimson sword light in the explosion just now.

Seeing that the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" had been crushed by the opponent, Song Qingming now had no way to block the opponent. If Feng He couldn't arrive in time, then he seemed to be powerless and could only choose to retreat and let the opponent leave.

Just as Song Qingming was considering whether to retreat, a black light suddenly flew up from below the canyon, rushing directly toward Qiu Daoping, who was preparing to attack the "Tiangang Five Elements Array."

In just an instant, the black light reached Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul, revealing Feng He, who was entwined by black energy.

Seeing Feng He finally shake off the green-robed old man's entanglement and catch up in time, Song Qingming's expression finally relaxed, and he hurriedly flashed to the side to avoid being affected by the upcoming Nascent Soul great battle.

"You... Senior Brother Feng, the matter back then was my fault. Now that my physical body has been destroyed and my Dao path is cut off, why must you still kill me all?

For the sake of us being fellow sect members, please let me go! I know you didn't just come for revenge this time. The Mysterious World Heavenly Book is now on me. As long as you promise to let me leave, I am willing to return the item to you."

Seeing Feng He had caught up, Qiu Daoping was immediately panicked and hurriedly flashed back, opening his mouth to beg for mercy.

Facing the other party's begging for mercy, Feng He couldn't help but smile lightly: "Junior Brother Qiu! This time you are wrong. I didn't come for anything this time, I just came to avenge my grievances.

As for the Mysterious World Heavenly Book, it has been in your hands for so many years. If it were truly as powerful as the legends say, you wouldn't still be just a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator now.

You have been eager for quick success and instant benefits your whole life, and in the end, you still don't understand that opportunity is destined by heaven. It is not your opportunity, so what if you forcibly obtained it?

Back then, you didn't hesitate to unite with outsiders to betray me for this item. In the end, what benefits did you get? You were still trapped in the Nascent Soul realm for a lifetime."

"Senior Brother, I still regret what happened back then. Please, for the sake of our Master, let me go!"

Qiu Daoping said while crying bitterly, matching his current appearance as a child with only his main Nascent Soul left, which was indeed somewhat pitiful.

However, facing the other party's begging for mercy, Feng He did not move much, directly carrying the black long spear in his hand and stabbing straight toward the other party's position.

Seeing Feng He unmoved and still wanting to kill him all, Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul did not sit and wait for death, rising to spit out his main magic treasure to meet the other party.

After this main magic treasure approached Feng He, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from it, followed by an explosion sound, directly shaking Feng He back dozens of zhang away.

"This fellow is truly worthy of being a Nascent Soul cultivator, to be able to be so decisive in self-destructing his main magic treasure just to save his life!"

Seeing Qiu Daoping suddenly self-destruct his main magic treasure, Song Qingming was surprised and also felt a bit shocked, hurriedly flashing forward to help Song Yuanli control the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" to block the opponent from escaping.

However, Song Qingming's escape speed was fast, but it was still not as fast as Qiu Daoping, this Nascent Soul cultivator. By the time he arrived at the array eye, Qiu Daoping had already forcibly pierced through the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" a step ahead.

After penetrating the obstruction of the array and arriving above the canyon, the scarred Qiu Daoping couldn't help but reveal a look of joy, turning his head and fleeing toward the distance without looking back.

"The Old Ancestor has escaped, great, let's retreat quickly."

Seeing Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul had escaped from the canyon, the several "Falling Maple Valley" Core Formation Elders who were fighting with Ye Lin on the side were instantly overjoyed and hurriedly withdrew from the battle to retreat.

Song Qingming and the other, who returned to the array eye, and Ye Lin, who was still above the canyon, saw Qiu Daoping's figure fleeing and felt somewhat helpless in their hearts.

This time, everyone had tried their best to encircle and suppress Qiu Daoping. However, the opponent, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was also not weak. Being able to escape despite many plots could only be said that he had some good fate.

Reaching this step, Song Qingming and the others could no longer help. Whether they could catch up to the opponent next would depend on Feng He himself.

Feng He, who had been forced back by Qiu Daoping's sudden self-destruction of his main magic treasure, stabilized his figure at this moment. Seeing his enemy fleeing in mid-air, his expression was contrary to expectations and not overly anxious, instead revealing a bit of mockery.

"Hahaha, I have plotted for hundreds of years for today, you think you can still escape!"

After Feng He muttered to himself, the next moment a somewhat ancient talisman with a silver knife drawn on it appeared in his hand.

After the talisman appeared, under the activation of Feng He's magical power, it instantly turned into a silver knife radiating powerful pressure, and then under Feng He's control, it broke through the air toward the direction Qiu Daoping had left.

This silver knife's escape speed was extremely fast. Before Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul could flee far from above the barren island, it had already caught up behind him.

Seeing a powerful murderous aura rushing from behind, the panicked Qiu Daoping hurriedly turned to throw out a defensive talisman, which transformed into a shield to block before him.

But what he found difficult to accept was that the shield he released was like paper before Feng He's silver knife, instantly being split into two halves, and the knife light then pierced through Qiu Daoping behind it.

"Ah!..."

After an somewhat unwilling scream, Qiu Daoping's voice disappeared from heaven and earth in an instant. The next moment, his main Nascent Soul transformed into a mass of flames and fell from high altitude.

The next moment, a mass of black light flashed in mid-air, and Feng He's figure had already arrived at Qiu Daoping's position, taking down a storage magic tool that had fallen from Qiu Daoping's main Nascent Soul.

After obtaining the opponent's storage magic tool, the black long spear in Feng He's hand suddenly stabbed into the void, forcing Qiu Daoping's Nascent Soul, which had just hidden, out of the void and grabbing it in his hand.

"I said it, I would grind you to dust.

Junior Brother, the grudge of five hundred years, today we can finally settle it!"

After Feng He finished speaking, black flames suddenly lit up in his hand, burning Qiu Daoping's Nascent Soul to death between heaven and earth. This also left the opponent without even the opportunity to reincarnate. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 790 =====
