Chapter 81: The Illusionary Battlefield’s Destruction (1/2)

The Earth Spirit Peal entered Qing Yun’s sea of consciousness. She stopped all her movements, her delicate body trembling as a twinkling greenish black light appeared in her eyes.

Qin Yu took advantage of this opening and swiftly sealed all twelve of Qing Yun’s acupuncture points with lightning-quick actions.

This time, even if she was being controlled, she’d still have to first break through her sealed joints. Therefore, it was already useless for the old man to control Qing Yun.

Once Qin Yu succeeded, the Earth Spirit Pearl rapidly flew back out and returned inside Qin Yu. It was too weak to move, and if it acted again, it will probably be completely wiped out.

“Bastard!”

The old man was forced to relinquish his control over Qing Yun’s body and he chased after the Earth Spirit pearl that ran out and rained curses on it.

Qin Yu’s soul had long left his body and was outside waiting for him.

The old man had just finished cursing, and before he could take his next move, a large hand suddenly grabbed his neck. Right now, his spirit was barely alive and without his helpers, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from Qin Yu.

“What do you want to do, let go of me!” The old man howled furiously.

Qin Yu grinned evilly, “You think I would possibly let you go? Old bastard, your death is imminent.”

“Wait, wait!” The old man shouted loudly, his voice tense, “Think carefully, do you really want to kill me? The Martial Examination’s array is in my hands. If you kill me, the Illusionary Battlefield’s array will be destroyed.”

“If it’s destroyed, then it’s destroyed. What’s it got to do with me?” Qin Yu sneered coldly, contempt in his voice. What bullshit Martial Exam, it was just one huge farce.

Seeing that Qin Yu was not taking any further action, the old man’s voice eased a little. “Killing me won’t bring you any advantages. I advise you to give yourself an escape route. Otherwise, once Sire arrives, it’ll be your death. No, it’ll be the death of your entire family.”

“Are you threatening me?” Qin Yu’s killing intent surged. The thing he hated most was others threatening him, more so if they dragged his family in.

“You can think of it as such.” The other replied coolly.

“Hehehe…” Qin Yu laughed evilly, “I’ll tell you this, whoever threatens me or my loved ones will all die, and you’ll be the same. Die!”

“No!” The old man released a wretched howl.

Snap! A loud snapping sound echoed crisply in the air as Qin Yu clenched his teeth and exerted force, his hand squeezing the old man until he burst apart, breaking into fragments that gradually disappeared into the earth. The moment before he completely faded away, a furious voice sounded in the sky: “Qin Yu, this old man will remember your name! You just wait, I swear I’ll destroy your entire family! I swear!”

The voice roared, echoing in the sky.

“Hmph.” Qin Yu snorted disdainfully as his soul returned to his body.

Suddenly, a thump came from beside him. Qing Yun’s body fell limply on the floor.

“Qing Yun.” Qin Yu called hurriedly, dashing to support her. However, he had only taken a step when he felt his head spin. All the strength in his body seemed to have been sapped away.

“What happened?”

Everything happened so suddenly that he had no idea what was happened as his entire body fell on the floor with a thump, causing a cloud of dust to fly up.

In fact, the reason was very simple. This was precisely the price he had to pay for using his soul so recklessly just now. His body was simply too weak.

His soul and body were linked together. After using so much power from his soul, he needed to use the energy in his body to balance and restore his spiritual energy. Normally speaking, the soul’s power was far weaker than the body’s, so even if it was injured, it could recover by taking energy from the body and the body wouldn’t be too badly affected.

However, Qin Yu was different. His soul’s power was far stronger than his body’s so once he used it, the burden would become too heavy for his body to support.

If it was just used for a short time, a certain degree of overuse could barely be supported by his body. But earlier, his soul was not only out for an extended period of time, the intensity of its usage also surpassed what the body could bear. So after his soul returned to his body, the energy his soul absorbed from his body was far from enough. Under this situation, it would be a miracle if he was still alright.

……

“There’s no movement inside, should we go in and take a look?”

Outside, the people who were all hiding and watching secretly from the sidelines discovered that the sounds of fighting inside the hall had stopped and the wretched green light had faded away. This caused a few of the braver ones to want to adventure inside. Perhaps, there were some good things to scrap pick.

However, they had just got up and were about to enter when the floor underneath their feet trembled violently. Bang! Boom! A series of explosions could be heard everywhere, from both the sky and the earth, growing louder and fiercer.

“What’s happening? An earthquake?” Somebody asked loudly.

“Quickly, look inside the hall!” Somebody looked in the direction of the hall and shouted.

Qin Yu was inside the hall, lying unconscious amidst the ear-deafening rumbles. Around the great hall, the earth ruptured, forming a series of densely cluttered small cracks. Trees toppled over and mountains collapsed.

“I-is the apocalypse coming?” Countless people jumped with alarm as the ground below their feet split apart, becoming covered with cracks. They jumped with fear, running away in all four directions and screaming madly.

However, not just Qin Yu’s hall was like that. There were several hundred halls with the same situation. As time passed, a terrifying crack started to grow in the sky above the hall. Many shook with fear as they watched the skies split apart. The destruction was just about to start.

Luosang City, the City Governor’s Residence.
