Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 401 A Battle Beyond Common Sense!

The cultivator behind him was successfully cut down under the fierce attack!

Wang Anran felt her tense nerves relax instantly and let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

If it weren't for Li Qingyuan's sword strike, which cleaved through the sky like a startled swan, carrying earth-shattering power that forced his opponent into disarray and exposed a weakness...

There was absolutely no way she could have killed a cultivator at the King Realm so easily!

It should be noted that this was the first time in her cultivation career that she had successfully defeated and killed a King-level expert.

This achievement is something she will remember for the rest of her life.

However, the benefits are also obvious.

Now that the hidden dangers behind them have been eliminated, they no longer need to worry about what's behind them.

All you need to do is focus on facing the demonic insects that are constantly spewing miasma, confront them head-on, and fight to the death!

......

Su Yaoyue and Yue Qinghuan witnessed this scene, and an uncontrollable excitement flashed in their eyes.

After all, the King Realm cultivator is a high-level realm that only one in ten thousand can reach after going through countless hardships, dangers, and life-or-death trials.

Now, such a powerful figure has been defeated and killed by Nifa!

How could they not be thrilled by such a breathtaking feat?

Moreover, this undoubtedly eliminated a huge hidden danger for them.

The upcoming battles will be much easier, and the benefits are self-evident...

However, neither of them acted rashly.

This is because they are well aware that their cultivation level is relatively low, having only just entered the Heavenly Gang Realm, and that there is still a considerable gap between them and those stronger individuals.

Therefore, both of them were quite self-aware and did not act impulsively, so as not to cause trouble for the team.

What they need to do right now is to take good care of themselves and not become a burden to the team; that would be their greatest contribution to this battle.

......

Li Qingyuan had anticipated this.

He showed no sign of surprise at the outcome, remaining calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

He exchanged a glance with the old ox beside him.

A tacit understanding flashed in their eyes, and then they made a move at the same time.

The two of them simultaneously struck out several palms.

In an instant, countless golden palm prints rained down like a torrential downpour.

Each palm strike carried overwhelming power, as if it wanted to completely crush the heavens and earth.

At the same time, Li Qingyuan's sword energy storm swept out like a whirlwind once again.

The sword energy crisscrossed, forming sharp sword nets that sliced ​​through the space as if it were shattered.

Meanwhile, the old ox's purple-gold hammer also unleashed tremendous power.

The hammer gleamed with a dazzling purple-gold light, and each swing was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The sound was like thunder, spreading throughout the surroundings, deafening, as if it would shake the whole world.

......

------

Ahead, the poisonous fog surged like ink, filled with a nauseating stench.

Within this eerie and treacherous poisonous fog, the monstrous insect's ferocious body trembled slightly.

Together with two other monks dressed in black robes, they witnessed the astonishing scene of their companion being completely captured by the enemy in such a short time.

In an instant, a look of undisguised astonishment flashed in their eyes, as if they had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.

What's happening here?

A King-level expert is someone who stands at the forefront of the cultivation world, possessing the power to destroy cities and mountains...

But now, he is being suppressed by cultivators of lower realms, and even brutally killed?

This kind of thing completely defies their understanding of the principles of cultivation; it should be impossible for it to happen...

This is especially true for members of the Shadow Assassins organization who have spent years teetering on the edge of life and death and have experienced countless bloody battles.

They considered themselves knowledgeable and experienced, having witnessed countless geniuses and prodigies emerge from obscurity, and had personally hunted down many so-called unparalleled geniuses.

In their eyes, most of those so-called prodigies are just all talk and no action.

He only achieved some success by taking advantage of some chance encounters; in reality, his strength is nothing to speak of.

Even if some geniuses do indeed possess extraordinary abilities;

However, faced with the Shadow Assassins' endless, ruthless, and vicious hunting methods, they still could not escape death.

Once the Shadow Assassins make their move, no matter who the target is, they are doomed.

This is an iron law that they have forged over the years with countless lives and blood!

Those missions that fail will be met with even more intense and prolonged hunting by the Shadow Assassins.

Like a maggot clinging to a bone, the cycle continues until the target is completely dead, at which point it is considered over.

Of course, there are other possible ways to end the mission.

However, those are extremely confidential matters within the Shadow Assassins organization, and they would never be leaked to the outside world in the slightest...

------

In the face of this sudden and unexpected change, we are now in a difficult situation.

"Grunting and puffing..."

The demonic insect let out a low, angry roar.

The sound was like a roar from the depths of hell, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, echoing endlessly in the poisonous fog, as if venting its raging fury.

The two black-robed cultivators also tensed up, a hint of panic and retreat flashing in their eyes.

After all, they are assassins, killers, skilled at striking from the shadows and killing with a single blow;

Instead of being like suicide squad members, risking their lives to complete their mission.

In their view, since the mission had failed anyway, the organization would send even more powerful experts to carry it out again;

They would at most receive some punishment, but their lives would not be in danger, so there was really no need for them to risk their lives here.

......

However, it seemed as if she suddenly thought of something.

A cold look returned to their faces, and the ruthlessness and determination in their eyes sent chills down one's spine.

Before them, countless golden palm prints rained down like a torrential downpour, surging towards them with overwhelming force.

At this critical moment.

The demonic insect suddenly spewed out a cloud of pitch-black mist.

The mist contained a deadly poison, and wherever it passed, the space itself was corroded and hissed.

At the same time, the two black-robed cultivators also made their move.

One of them quickly formed hand seals while chanting incantations.

Instantly, streaks of black runes flew out from his hand;

They intertwined in the air to form a huge net of runes, heading towards the golden palm print in an attempt to block it.

The other person produced a dagger that gleamed with an eerie light, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot like a ghost, leaving no trace.

However, it seems they didn't flee, but instead went into hiding, waiting for an opportunity.

......

At this moment.

Suddenly, the old ox let out a deafening roar:

"I'm off!"

The sound was like a thunderous bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth, as if it were about to shatter the very sky.

Before he could finish speaking, he shot into the air like a cannonball.

His figure transformed into a sharp streak of light.

As the countless golden palm prints rained down like a torrential downpour, they fiercely attacked the enemy.

The purple-gold hammer in his hand created gusts of wind as he swung it.

Each strike was like a mountain crashing down, the immense power creating ripples in the air.

Wherever the ripples passed, the space was compressed and distorted, as if it could not withstand this terrifying power.

The old ox was surprisingly bold, intending to fight three against one, facing the demonic insect and the two black-robed cultivators alone.

......

Upon seeing this, Li Qingyuan inwardly cried out, "This is bad!" and quickly moved to follow him like a shadow.

He knew that although the old ox was incredibly brave, fighting three against one was extremely dangerous, and he was afraid that the old ox would suffer a great loss if it acted impulsively.

However, at this critical moment, he still turned back and loudly instructed Wang Anran:

"An Ran, you stay here and hold the line. I'll go help Lao Yun. You can finish off the enemy as needed!"

The voice was clear and firm, carrying an unquestionable tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly moved wildly.

Like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, the fierce sword light that the Dragon Abyss Sword transformed into shot straight toward the battlefield ahead.

The sword energy was sharp and fierce, splitting the poisonous mist in two wherever it passed.

Seeing this, Wang Anran nodded secretly, deeply agreeing with Li Qingyuan's arrangement.

She knew that her strength was slightly inferior at the moment, and rushing in rashly would not only not be of much help, but might even become a burden.

So she quickly adjusted her state, focused her mind again, and stared intently at the battlefield ahead with eyes as sharp as a hawk.

She gripped the longbow firmly with both hands, nocked an arrow, and prepared to strike at any moment.

Waiting only for the right moment, he would transform the arrows in his hand into deadly blades and shoot them at the enemy!
