Chapter 54; Double Breakthrough (1/2)
“The Demon Kills All!”
Qin Yu, relying on just his Origin Realm abilities, had forced Mo Badao, an Immersion Realm cultivator, to use the strongest attack from Modao Hall. This move was only used when the user was in extremely dangerous or risky circumstances.
After launching the attack, the silhouette of a demon silhouette appeared in the sky. Hundreds and thousands of black blades rushed out and formed a mighty torrent. They surged towards the blood-red blades which were blotting out the sky.
Boom!
The impact was ferocious and space was continuously being deformed. Loud explosive sounds rang out continuously.
Gradually, the thunderous clangs turned into silence. The black and red blades faded away, leaving two slightly fazed men on a wrecked grassland. They confronted each other in cold silence.
Mo Badao’s black irises were fixated on Qin Yu, and surprise tumbled around in his heart. He thought that he was a rare genius. Yet, from what he had just witnessed, the man before him was the true genius. An Origin Realm cultivator had forced him, an Immersion Realm cultivator, into such a state. Even if this round was considered a draw, he had still lost.
Qin Yu stared at Mo Badao and was secretly shocked as well. Of the four seeded players, Mo Badao had the lowest cultivation stage. The rest of them were in the Middle stage of the Immersion Realm while he was only in the Beginning stage. However, he may have had the highest fighting strength. Although he managed to kill Qin Fang previously, trying to kill this dude today might be a hard task.
“You’re strong. Why don’t you and I stop fighting now?” What Mo Badao had said demonstrated his will to give way.
“We can stop on one condition – hand over all of your fireflies.” Qin Yu demanded. Mo Badao had initiated the fight and wanted to snatch his fireflies. Now that he could not, he should at least pay a price for it.
Of course, if Qin Yu was confident of killing this man, he would not stop at only wanting the fireflies. He would never be nice to those who had attempted to take his life and would kill them in return.
Mo Badao’s brows quivered and the light which shone through his eyes brightened.
“It seems like we can only continue to speak through our swords.” A murderous gleam flashed through Qin Yu’s eyes and his aura grew stronger. The light on his blood saber shone.
“Wait! Fine, I’ll give them to you.” Mo Badao’s sudden words shocked Qin Yu. His aura stopped growing and his eyes were fixed upon Mo Badao.
Without hesitation, Mo Badao opened his mouth and over twenty fireflies flew out into the air.
Roar! A black shadow in the shape of a tiger leapt out from Qin Yu’s forehead. It engulfed all of the fireflies in the air and retreated into his forehead.
Witnessing the scene, Mo Badao’s pupils dilated and his cold and stoic expression changed into a myriad of different expressions. Damn, who is this freak?
“Your name is Qin Yu, right? You’re stronger than Qin Fang. Qin Fang should have never been called the top genius of the Qin family.” Mo Badao’s tone had softened, and he lacked his usual indifference and dominance.
“Qin Fang is dead already.” Qin Yu spoke apathetically, yet the statement had stunned Mo Badao.
“Qin Fang? Dead? Who killed him?” Mo Badao was shocked. As a fellow member of the four seeded players, he was aware of Qin Fang’s abilities. He may not be as strong as him but he was definitely not weak.
“I killed him.” Qin Yu grinned with a tinge of evilness.
Mo Badao’s cold face froze. He stared at Qin Yu for some time before a strange smile emerged on his face.
“Good, I will remember you. Farewell!”
After saying this, he vanished into the vast mountain ranges. A man who could even kill Qin Fang… he had better stay out of Qin Yu’s way.
Qin Yu did not chase after him as he watched Mo Badao’s silhouette merge into the dense forest and disappear. Only then did he open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
“Brother Qin, what happened to you?” At the back, Murong Yue hurried over and shouted anxiously.
Qin Yu used his hand to wipe away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. He then turned around and smiled.
“I’m fine, this is just a minor injury. Why are you here?”
“You hadn’t come back for a long time and I got worried. Hence, I came out to search for you. Coincidentally, I discovered intense fighting in this area and I hurried here. I never would have thought that you would really be here.” Mu Rongyue quickly rushed up and held onto Qin Yu’s hand. Her face was full of worry.
“Brother, quick, let’s find a place to treat your injuries.”
“Hmph, okay.” Qin Yu nodded and quickly left the area with Mu Rongyue’s assistance.
The two of them returned to the mountain cave where Ruo Feng, Mu Rongyue’s guard, used while he was recovering from his injuries. Ruo Feng’s wounds were mostly healed after these few days. He was just about to set off to search for Mu Rongyue, only to see her supporting Qin Yu into the cave.
“Miss, you’re back.” Ruo Feng rushed up in a pleasant surprise. Yet, he discovered Qin Yu, who was currently looking unwell. He hurriedly inquired about the situation.
“Master Qin is hurt? Please come in.”
Ruo Feng hurriedly helped Mu Rongyue support Qin Yu into the cave. In reality, Qin Yu had not suffered such serious injuries and did not need both of them to support him.
“Xiao Yue, I’m fine. Both of you could just guard the cave entrance for me and I will treat myself.” Upon entering the cave, Qin Yu sat down and smiled calmly as he spoke.
“Hm, okay. Ruo Feng, let’s go.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The both of them were afraid that they might disturb Qin Yu as he was healing his wounds and left the cave immediately.
Qin Yu sat down and meditated, the self-recovery ability of “Secrets of Eternal Life” began to operate. The wounds on his body began to heal themselves slowly.
At the same time, within his consciousness, the Earth Spirit Pearl rotated rapidly without rest as it refined all of the fireflies. Turbulent energy surged into his body.
