Chapter 675: External Incarnation
However, Zhong Li did not know that this was just the start of this Saber Technique. A sea of lightning suddenly formed and exploded at him, immediately blasting him back.
“Die!”
A saber light flew out at lightning speed from somewhere within the sea of lightning and arrived in a flash.
The dark clouds scattered, allowing half the full moon to peek out. Coincidentally, as the moonlight lit the place up again, there was a flash of scarlet, and Lone Wolf’s head flew off.
Xiao Chen revealed himself and turned around gently. He sheathed his saber and caught the head. As he looked at the headless body on the ground, he let out the bated breath in his fatigued body.
“I finally killed him!”
---
Outside Heavenly Water City, Qiu Yi watched as Lone Wolf slowly fell down. He revealed a faint smile as he relaxed his tense face.
The others could not stop panting. They all had injuries on their bodies to some degree. As for their Quintessence, they had already long exhausted it and had consumed whatever Medicinal Pills they could.
At this point, even a peak grade Medicinal Pill could not fully replenish their Quintessence in an instant. They had consumed too many Medicinal Pills in a short period of time and already built up some resistance.
Qiu Yi sheathed his sword and said to the similarly fatigued Zhuo Ping, “We have expended too much Quintessence today. How about we compete for the proof of completion tomorrow when we have recovered?”
Zhuo Ping nodded gently in wordless agreement. She did not have much Quintessence left, and her current condition was awful. Earlier, she had been fighting Lone Wolf on pure willpower.
At this moment, when they finally relaxed, they no longer had any fighting spirit. They could only compete over the proof of completion tomorrow.
Everything had gone according to plan. With a slight smile, Qiu Yi headed complacently for Lone Wolf’s corpse. Then, he stretched his hand out to remove Lone Wolf’s mask.
“Let’s see what you actually look like!”
Qiu Yi pulled off Lone Wolf’s black mask with a quick swipe. However, when he saw Lone Wolf’s appearance, his smile immediately froze.
A face that Qiu Yi had not expected appeared. He cried out hoa.r.s.ely, “How can this be?!”
When the others saw this strange scene, they quickly came over to take a look. Their faces all drained of color, and they exclaimed, “Zhong Li! How can it be him?! How is this possible?!”
“Chi! Chi!”
Before everybody’s astonished gaze, Lone Wolf’s corpse shrank and eventually became the corpse of a white wolf.
Zhuo Ping’s face sank as she said, “We have been fooled. This is the External Incarnation unique to the Half-Fiend Races. Their incarnation’s strength would be the same as the original body’s. This technique is extremely difficult to train in. Unexpectedly, Lone Wolf had learned it.”
Qiu Yi’s expression turned cold. He sent out a sword Qi, chopping the white wolf’s body in half.
“That Xiao Chen must have already suspected this earlier. We have to get back fast!”
A murderous intent spread in Qiu Yi’s eyes, rendering them icy and terrifying.
After preparing for half a month, doing everything meticulously, Qiu Yi had been foiled at the last moment. Right now, his mood was as bad as it could possibly be.
The group had exhausted too much Quintessence already, so they did not dare to fly. They could only rush frantically towards the city center on foot.
Along the way, Qiu Yi said sullenly, “It will definitely take those two some time to decide the victor. We still stand a chance.”
Indeed it was as Qiu Yi said. When the crowd got to the City Lord’s Residence, they saw Xiao Chen removing a spatial ring from the hand of a headless corpse.
Seeing the headless body, Qiu Yi was initially stunned. Then, he shouted, “Xiao Chen, you are really bold. You had already discovered that the masked man was Lone Wolf’s clone. Unexpectedly, you dared to play us for fools.”
The moment Qiu Yi spoke, he tried to push the blame onto Xiao Chen. He wanted to suppress Xiao Chen with reasoning.
Xiao Chen had expected this group of people to rush over. He searched Lone Wolf’s body leisurely and discovered a secret manual. Then, before everyone’s extremely red eyes, he stored it.
“It was not me tricking you all. It was Lone Wolf who had tricked you all. Full Moon Pavilion’s Qiu Yi, don’t accuse the wrong person,” Xiao Chen responded in a calm and laid-back manner.
Qiu Yi felt very angry. He hated that he could not slap Xiao Chen to death. However, he had exhausted too much Quintessence and could not easily make a move. He could only say coldly, “Xiao Chen, according to the agreement, no matter who obtained the proof of completion, we would split the treasures on Lone Wolf’s body.”
Xiao Chen smiled without any concern. “Whose agreement? Since when have you asked me and since when have I agreed?”
When Qiu Yi saw Xiao Chen’s att.i.tude, not caring about him at all, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, remaining unspoken.
“Xiao Chen, there is no point in continuing this pretense. You already gained an advantage, and yet you are still doing this. Quickly hand over the treasures of Lone Wolf. Otherwise, you can forget about walking out of this City Lord’s Residence.”
“That’s right. Hand over Lone Wolf’s treasures right away. We will not press you for the proof of completion.”
“We are already being very nice to you. You can take the proof of completion and leave. However, you have to leave behind Lone Wolf’s treasures.”
The people of the other sects around them all spoke in upset tones. After working for so long, they did not want to return empty-handed.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen was alone, and his cultivation was not high. If he were not a disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect, they would not even bother giving him face and letting him keep the proof of completion.
