Chapter 90 I Won
Outside Tianqing Gorge, a fierce wind howled, causing the two women's clothes to flutter.
The two women were both unsettled as they listened to the sounds of battle raging in the canyon.
The rumbling sound from the depths of the canyon was as muffled as rolling thunder, and each explosion made Ling'er's heart skip a beat.
She gazed at the boulders constantly collapsing and rolling at the entrance of the canyon, where smoke and dust billowed and rose, and a sense of worry rose in her heart.
She couldn't believe it. What had gotten into Li Qingyi and Qin Xiyue that made them join forces to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Ling'er turned to Qin Xiyue, "What can we do now?"
Qin Xiyue did not reply, her face as pale as paper.
She had long since shed all pretense and revealed her true appearance.
She absolutely could not allow Luo Xi's identity to be exposed at this moment.
Li Qingyi and Luo Xi have no prior connection; if they appear together, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
The energy required to maintain the three dragon energies far exceeded her expectations.
His breathing became rapid, his chest heaved violently, and his entire body was already soaked in cold sweat.
She struggled to sit cross-legged, her palms facing upwards, attempting to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish her depleted magical power while maintaining the protection of the three dragons.
Sweat trickled down her forehead, wetting the dark hair at her temples.
Upon seeing this, Ling'er instantly understood.
She must be maintaining the energy expenditure of the previous formation.
Ling'er could only stand there anxiously, as she had no trump cards that could threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As the sounds of battle within the canyon intensified, the roaring noises almost merged into one.
Qin Xiyue's face grew increasingly pale, and her body began to sway slightly uncontrollably.
But she still bit her lower lip tightly, keeping the formation intact.
Ling'er was anxious:
"She will definitely not be able to hold on if this continues. I will transfer my magic power to her first."
Having made up her mind, she quickly walked behind Qin Xiyue, gently placed her palms on Qin Xiyue's back, and slowly transferred her pure magic power into her.
As Ling'er's magic power flowed into her meridians, Qin Xiyue's tense body relaxed slightly for a moment.
However, Ling'er's cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining, and this amount of magical power was like a drop in the ocean, unable to sustain her for long.
Suddenly, an overwhelming and terrifying aura erupted from the deepest part of Tianqing Gorge, sweeping across all directions! Even the gale outside the gorge paused for a moment.
Qin Xiyue's heart tightened; she knew the most crucial moment had arrived—
Lu Zhenxuan is probably not going to be able to hold on any longer.
Seeing that the time was ripe, she silently recited a profound incantation, activating the last array that had been buried deep within the Tianqing Gorge's earth veins.
Deep in the canyon, just as Li Qingyi had retreated, a sinister and bone-chilling aura exploded behind him, causing him to pause in his tracks.
"This aura is completely different from Lu Zhenxuan's; this is Xi Yue's backup plan."
Upon realizing this, Li Qingyi turned around without hesitation.
Without warning, the ground beneath Lu Zhenxuan's feet collapsed, instantly forming a giant pit tens of feet deep that swallowed him up.
An eerie, ghostly light erupted from the ground, transforming into malevolent energy that frantically poured into his seven orifices.
The 300,000 vengeful spirits that were already gnawing at his soul became even more violent and ferocious after being nourished by this power.
Lu Zhenxuan's already shaky mind was now like a candle flickering in the wind, becoming even more confused and disoriented.
He bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood, just to preserve the last bit of clarity in his mind.
His hands trembled as he struggled to form a mudra.
Blood overflowing from his seven orifices had already stained his front of his shirt, making him look as gruesome as a ghost.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Li Qingyi must die!
Seeing this, Li Qingyi calmed down slightly.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, and an invisible and intangible sword aura rose from the depths of his heart, cutting through illusions and piercing the depths of Lu Zhenxuan's soul.
His soul, already riddled with holes from being devoured by 300,000 wronged spirits, finally succumbed to this fatal blow and could no longer hold on.
The half-formed magic seal suddenly collapsed, and the backlash caused him to cough up blood again.
The dazzling light shimmered and flickered at the bottom of the deep canyon, casting a mottled and varied reflection on his face.
The moment he was struck by the Heart Sword, Lu Zhenxuan felt his muddled mind suddenly become exceptionally clear.
He finally remembered!
In his mind, the figure in white robes, as pure as snow, and his earth-shattering sword strike that cleaved the canyon, gradually merged with the swordsmanship of Li Qingyi before him...
Isn't this just the same set of swordsmanship traditions?
A terrifying thought exploded in his mind—
The Purple Mansion True Man who saved him back then, and Li Qingyi whom he is about to kill today, are very likely to be master and disciple.
"Haha...hahaha..."
Lu Zhenxuan's body slowly fell backward into the deep pit, letting out a bitter laugh of utter despair.
In an instant, all the illogical points and all the overlooked details came together.
He seemed to understand something.
"No wonder... that senior suddenly sent me a message three days ago informing me of Li Qingyi's whereabouts..."
"No wonder he was able to set up this deadly trap in advance..."
He coughed up blood and laughed maniacally, tears of blood streaming down his face.
"Hahahaha, no wonder, no wonder! No wonder their swordsmanship is so similar, exactly the same. So... so I, Lu Zhenxuan, am nothing more than a whetstone he carefully cultivated!"
What a coincidence! It's too much of a coincidence.
I am unwilling, extremely unwilling.
How could he willingly become someone else's whetstone?
How could I willingly be manipulated like this?
Lu Zhenxuan's thoughts were drawn back to that rainy night, the indifferent voice of the white-robed cultivator still echoing in his ears:
"Do you want to live? Do you want revenge?"
On the verge of death, what choice did he have but to nod?
Then, the man led him out of the encirclement and, with the power of a single sword strike, cleaved open the Tianqing Gorge, which would later become his burial place.
Now, he understands everything.
The cultivator who saved him back then was very likely the mysterious and unpredictable Master of Tingyu Pavilion! He was his mortal enemy with whom he had a blood feud!
From beginning to end, it was all a game he orchestrated.
Ironically, he was constantly thinking about how the other person had saved his life.
Lu Zhenxuan was merely a pawn on his chessboard, a livestock kept in captivity to hone his successors!
If Li Qingyi knew Lu Zhenxuan's speculation at this moment, she would definitely not be able to help but curse him out.
He had never even seen the face of the Pavilion Master of Tingyu Pavilion, yet he had been inexplicably plotted against until now.
If it weren't for the emulator, I would have been dead long ago.
The clarity in Lu Zhenxuan's eyes gradually faded, slowly turning murky.
Li Qingyi's divine sense clearly perceived that the other party's life force was slowly dissipating.
Without hesitation, he immediately turned around, pushed his internal magical power to its limit, and sped desperately toward the other end of Tianqing Gorge.
Lu Zhenxuan's death is a foregone conclusion. All that is needed is for the 300,000 resentful thoughts to completely devour his soul, and then victory will be achieved.
The last leg of a journey is the hardest; the closer you get to the end, the more cautious you should be.
If you approach them now, and they make a last-ditch effort to fight back, you'll be left with nothing but tears.
Within the range of Lu Zhenxuan's divine sense, Li Qingyi's aura was rapidly fading away.
A bitter smile crept across his face. 'As expected of someone chosen by the Listening Rain Pavilion Master, this extraordinary caution is truly...impressive.'
The gradually blurring vision signaled the approaching end of his cultivation journey.
He asked himself in his heart, "Am I willing to be manipulated like this?"
"I'm not reconciled!"
He gathered the last bit of power in his soul and unleashed a roar that shook the canyon.
He then used a secret technique to ignite his shattered soul.
The fire of his soul erupted in the deepest part of his consciousness, instantly igniting all the remaining life essence and transforming his entire body into a human-shaped torch illuminating the valley.
Even if I die and my soul perishes, I will drag you down to the deepest hell with me!!!
Rumble!!!
A terrifying aura filled with destructive power suddenly erupted from him.
The entire Tianqing Gorge trembled violently under this force, and countless fragments of rock fell like rain.
Having already escaped a considerable distance, Li Qingyi felt the aura of destruction behind her, and her lips twitched violently.
"I knew it!!!"
He frantically channeled all his magical power, unleashing his full wind-controlling technique, increasing his speed by another three points.
Tianqing Gorge is over ten miles long, and Li Qingyi is currently in the deepest part, desperately trying to escape.
He was about a mile or two away from Lu Zhenxuan.
Li Qingyi figured there was no way he could be caught up in an instant.
At this moment, the sword energy in his body was almost exhausted, but fortunately, his magic power had not been consumed much before and was still relatively abundant.
Unfortunately, he was not proficient in escape techniques, so he could only use his magical power for the most rudimentary method of fleeing.
The oppressive aura of destruction behind him surged forward like a monstrous wave, and its speed was clearly faster than his.
Li Qingyi knew perfectly well that this was the opponent's last gasp before his death.
As long as you can hold on to this last breath, you will have won.
But feeling the increasingly approaching terrifying pressure, Li Qingyi felt a sense of helplessness.
But he still didn't give up, and instead pushed his speed to the limit.
The rock wall behind them collapsed and crumbled in large areas, followed by a series of booming sounds.
Li Qingyi didn't need to turn around to guess what was behind her.
Lu Zhenxuan, like an out-of-control ancient beast, forcefully squeezed, tore, and expanded the solid rock walls on both sides for hundreds of meters.
Wherever it goes, everything collapses.
Li Qingyi's internal magical power had reached its limit, and her meridians were even experiencing a faint swelling and pain.
But the speed of the deadly aura behind it was even greater.
"Die! Die!"
Lu Zhenxuan's venomous roar grew clearer and clearer.
Li Qingyi's divine sense could already see Lu Zhenxuan's current appearance.
He was enveloped in black mist, his face twisted and grotesque like a demon.
The old wound on his chest completely burst open, and blood gushed out like a spring.
Li Qingyi really wanted to curse.
He felt as if he had slaughtered the Lu clan, and now the other party was relentlessly pursuing him.
In just twenty or thirty breaths, Lu Zhenxuan had caught up to him within three or four hundred feet.
However, what struck Li Qingyi was that this powerful aura seemed to be weakening after chasing for such a long distance.
The two chased and fled for several miles through the narrow canyon.
Feeling the menacing killing intent looming over her back, Li Qingyi knew there was no escape; she had no choice but to fight back.
He made a decision instantly.
He poured all the remaining sword energy in his body into the protective sword aura.
At the same time, the still abundant magical power in his body was instantly drained, condensing into a spiritual shield in front of him that shimmered with a faint light.
Even the last vestige of spirituality within the physical body was completely extracted, transforming into a thin layer of clear light that covered the entire body.
He even slapped all the few golden talismans he had in his storage ring onto his body, and golden runes appeared, enveloping him layer by layer.
In an instant, Li Qingyi armed herself to the teeth.
After a few breaths, the two were less than ten feet apart.
Li Qingyi turned around abruptly, a fierce glint in her eyes, and once again activated her Heart Sword, slashing towards Lu Zhenxuan's already blurred consciousness.
However, he was horrified to discover that Lu Zhenxuan's life had already been cut off.
At this moment, what drives this body is only a pure and extreme obsession!
A terrifying pressure swept over us like a tidal wave.
Li Qingyi's body flashed wildly with spiritual light, and various protective measures lit up layer by layer to meet the final impact.
bang bang bang...
His defensive measures shattered one after another in the face of this destructive power.
The first thing to be annihilated was the golden light shield formed by the Golden Body Talisman, which couldn't even hold for a moment before turning into specks of golden light and dissipating.
Immediately afterward, the protective sword aura stubbornly resisted for several breaths, but in the end, it shattered layer by layer and turned into nothingness.
Finally, his protective spiritual shield, formed from all his magical power, dimmed rapidly after holding out for a few breaths.
The spirit shield finally crumbled the moment Li Qingyi's magic power was completely exhausted.
This force has been eroded by numerous trials, and its power is now less than one-tenth of what it once was.
In the end, it still struck his body solidly.
The last vestige of spirituality within the physical body was extinguished.
The moment she was hit, Li Qingyi felt her brain go blank, her thoughts completely stopped.
The old wound on his chest, which had not yet fully healed, was completely ruptured by this attack.
He was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards for four or five hundred feet in an instant, and flew straight out of Tianqing Gorge.
In the air, intense pain swept over them.
He could clearly feel that his chest bones were almost completely shattered, and his internal organs were also violently shaken.
Finally, he crashed heavily onto the ground outside the canyon, tumbling countless times and kicking up clouds of dust before finally coming to a stop.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Li Qingyi slowly got up, covered in blood and dressed in rags.
He gazed into the canyon, a bitter smile creeping onto his lips:
"I have won... Foundation Establishment cultivators are nothing special."
Inside Tianqing Gorge, Lu Zhenxuan's body remained standing.
A blue Gu worm, the size of a fingernail, slowly crawled out from his chest, emitting a faint spiritual light.
