Chapter 242 (2/2)
Bang!
Wen Jinrui crashed heavily into the ground and started vomiting everything he had in his stomach.
Even Qiu Chonglei couldn't remain calm after witnessing everything. He immediately commanded, ”Save Senior Brother Zhao first.”
He then led a group of people and quickly rushed toward the battlefield. The others stopped fighting when they saw him arriving. But to be precise, they weren't exactly stopping. It was more like they had all been dropped by Xiang Shaoyun and were no longer capable of attacking. Xiang Shaoyun did not attack. He also wanted to see if that Zhao guy was still alive.
”This is bad! Senior Brother Zhao is...dead!” cried out one of them in alarm.
”What?” cried the person who had slashed Senior Brother Zhao, his face paling. He s.h.i.+vered and dropped the sword in his hand while his body slumped down weakly.
This Senior Brother Zhao was a personal disciple of an elder. Since he was the one who had accidentally killed this Senior Brother Zhao, he would not have a good ending either.
Qiu Chonglei had not expected that things would escalate to this point. After all, although internal struggles were allowed in the Cloud Margin Pavilion, killing was absolutely prohibited. To do so would be a provocation of the pavilion's rules.
Qiu Chonglei quickly pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and shouted furiously, ”Xiang Shaoyun, how audacious! You actually killed Junior Brother Zhao? n.o.body can save you now! I will avenge my Junior Brother Zhao!”
A layer of yellow radiance appeared around Qiu Chonglei's body while a yellow saber appeared in his hand. He then charged Xiang Shaoyun. He was a late eighth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator with combat prowess comparable to ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivators.
He swung his saber at Xiang Shaoyun, releasing a dreadful and thick saber energy that no normal person could survive. The combat prowess Qiu Chonglie displayed was much greater than even Xie Sanqian's, whom Xiang Shaoyun had defeated just a while ago. He was indeed worthy of being one of the four great guardians of the Lightning Alliance.
With the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, Xiang Shaoyun avoided the attack and sent a fiery claw toward Qiu Chonglei. The claw easily tore through Qiu Chonglei's defensive energy s.h.i.+eld and struck his body. However, it failed to do any damage, as Qiu Chonglei was protected by the high-level armor he had on him.
”That's a strong claw, but it is impossible for you to harm me with that,” said Qiu Chonglei. The layer of yellow energy around him turned thicker and heavier, looking like an impenetrable wall.
At the same time, he slashed repeatedly, sending numerous saber energies that surrounded Xiang Shaoyun. Even Xiang Shaoyun had a solemn look when he faced this new attack, thinking, He is indeed quite capable. He is strong enough to fight any ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator.
He drew his Purple Lightning Saber and met Qiu Chonglei's attack with a slash of his own. This time, he had no intention of dragging it out like he did when battling Xie Sanqian. Instead, he directly smashed through Qiu Chonglei's attack.
Xiang Shaoyun's saber energy seemed boundless, and coupled with his remarkable innate purple lightning, not even Qiu Chonglei was his match. Qiu Chonglei's saber snapped, his energy s.h.i.+eld shattered, and not even his armor was able to defend against the tier-5 king-grade Purple Lightning Saber. Several saber wounds instantly formed on his body.
At this point, Qiu Chonglei was already regretting his decision, It is totally not worth offending this kid for the sake of Wen Jinrui!
”Help me! What are you waiting for?” shouted Qiu Chonglei toward the people around him as he was forced to retreat repeatedly.
His companions quickly worked together to attack Xiang Shaoyun.
They were all eighth-stage Transformation Realm cultivators and were the final line of defense Qiu Chonglei had. If not even they could stop Xiang Shaoyun, then their defeat would be wholly justified.
