Chapter 498: Two Fingers (1/2)

Zhanlong Daynight’s attack turned into a strong gale that could be seen by the naked eye. It tore the ground apart with a tremendous noise, but Ling Que easily evaded the attack. He lifted a hand, and the blade of his Que’s Mighty Slash tore through the void and disappeared. Zhanlong Daynight’s face changed when their fists clashed, the void warping even as a result. In an instant, multiple layers of shockwaves rippled out from where Zhanlong Daynight was standing, spreading in all directions. The Que's Mighty Slash shot out of the void, headed straight for Zhanlong Daynight, but it was stopped midway by the shockwaves, which caused its power to drop substantially. Even though the attack caused Zhanlong Daynight to bleed, it was not enough to substantially damage him.

This was a method that Zhanlong Daynight had spent a long time creating, and it had been made specifically to deal with the Que's Mighty Slash.

Against Ling Que, Liu Shaoqiu had used his Second Sword as a defensive countermeasure while also changing up his offensive strategies. Zhanlong Daynight, on the other hand, was capable of clapping his palms together to create shockwaves that could act as defensive barriers.

Ling Que was amazed by this tactic. “Interesting.”

Right in front of the two of them, Nightqueen Yanqing cursed at Zhanlong Daynight’s stupidity inside her own head. She was not fazed by the battle, and with sparkling purple lights in her pupils, she suddenly yelled out, “Brother Ling!”

Ling Que automatically looked in her direction, and his eyes met her purple eyes.

Immediately, the bottom of Ling Que’s feet turned to stone, and the stonification quickly spread to other parts of his body. This was Nightqueen Yanqing’s innate gift—purple eyes. Her eyes were able to turn anything into stone.

Ling Que’s brows rose up, and he felt his body jolt. Right after that, a second Ling Que appeared. He had used his Soulsplitting Technique, and the Ling Que who had been turned into stone quickly vanished.

“Miss Yanqing, you’ve gone too far.” Ling Que’s tone turned cold when he realized that he had been sneak attacked.

Nightqueen Yanqing activated her Nightking’s Body and released her battle force even as she replied in an agonized tone, “I am sorry, Brother Ling. I didn’t wish for things to happen this way either. Please don’t hold it against me.”

Zhanlong Daynight’s body spun around as he evaded the attack. He then kicked out with his leg at Ling Que, and at the same time, Nightqueen Yanqing launched an attack from the another side.

Ling Que quickly twisted his body, swinging the large blade around as he did so, and moved away so that Zhanlong Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing’s attacks landed on empty ground.

The earth instantly shattered, and all three of them were cast underground at the same time. Terrifying shockwaves shuddered through the land, causing the earth below to be sent flying up high in the sky.

Zhanlong Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing immediately jumped up from beneath the ground. The next moment, a huge number of Daynight clan members from the surrounding area charged forward to attack the ground. The Daynight clan intended to use their combined power to defeat Ling Que.

From high above, Nightqueen Qiuyu stared intently at a screen. Would their strategy actually work?

Wen Qichen frowned, as Ling Que had been too careless in his eyes.

The Daynight clan had no slouches among them. Every member of the Daynight clan was capable of executing battle techniques that could attack their opponents’ spiritual force. Their coordinated attack just now had not been launched in hopes of damaging Ling Que’s body, but rather in hopes of damaging his spiritual force.

This was also the reason why the combined might of the Daynight clan’s attacks did not cause much damage to Pyrolyte Lake. Even though the naked eye could not see the blow that they had unleashed, it had actually dealt quite a significant amount of damage to Ling Que’s spiritual force.

After the round of attacks concluded, all of the Daynight clan’s members involved were out of breath. Zhanlong Daynight tightly clenched his fists. This was the first time he had ever attacked another person with an overwhelming numerical superiority. The coordinated group attack left him feeling sour, but it was inevitable since he could not fight against Ling Que on his own.

Nightqueen Yanqing had a look of longing in her eyes. She was hoping that Ling Que had been unable to withstand their attacks.

However, reality ended up leaving all of them horribly disappointed. Ling Que slowly emerged from the ground with a sinister look on his face as sweat dripped down from his forehead. The series of attacks that he had received from the Daynight clan had not been entirely ineffective; they had caused him to become dizzy and had ignited his rage.

Ling Que raised his head, revealing a cold glare in his eyes. His gaze swept across all the people from the Daynight clan. “Do you all have a death wish?”

Nightqueen Yanqing’s heart raced. She could tell that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. “Everyone, RETREAT!”

Zhanlong Daynight let out a low growl and aimed his fist at Ling Que. The unparalleled Limiteer paused slightly before leaping up with Que’s Mighty Slash in his hand. The void ripped open, and the tear continued to spread across the sky. Across from him, Zhanlong Daynight violently crashed to the ground, blood oozing from everywhere.

Ling Que swept his glance over his surroundings as the giant blade disappeared. The next moment, the throats of a dozen Daynight clan members were slashed open, instantly killing them. Nightqueen Yanqing’s pupils shrank, and she desperately tried to flee. Ling Que’s eyes narrowed and the massive blade disappeared again. This time, it was headed straight for Nightqueen Yanqing.

Nightqueen Yanqing’s scalp went numb. “Brother Ling, please have mercy!”

A glimmer of icy arrogance flashed across Ling Que’s eyes. Even though he was vain and lecherous, that was just the kind of man that Ling Que was! He was one of the four unparalleled Limiteers and an extremely talented man from the Lingling clan. He was not someone who would take an insult lying down. Although he absolutely reveled in the Nightqueen’s respect and worship for him, that earlier attack had crossed his bottom line. Since that was the case, then he would just kill her!

Powerful cultivators all had a bottom line, and once that line was crossed, they would become savage beasts.

Nightqueen Yanqing could truly see death’s door at this moment. It would take just three seconds, three seconds for her to be slain by his Que's Mighty Slash. One second, two seconds… On the third second, she suddenly stretched an arm out, grabbed Zhuo Daynight, and used her as a shield. Zhuo Daynight had been a part of the earlier attack. Now that Ling Que was about to deal her a fatal blow, she knew that, without a doubt, this was the end. She had no hope of escaping.

When she was grabbed by Nightqueen Yanqing, Zhuo Daynight had a pale look of death on her face; her time had come.
