Chapter 364 – Fighting the Three Mountains Two (2/2)

The darkness and moonlight that had just flooded the hall was purged once more by the firelight. The entire hall creaked and trembled, like an old man with a foot in the grave. Unable to bear its own weight anymore, it began to collapse.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down. Every single floating speck of dust seemed incredibly clear in Li Qingshan’s eyes. He did not go to assist Xiao An.

After undergoing the heavenly tribulation, her strength had evolved by no less than his. A supernatural ability like the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty made it such that she would become even more powerful than other cultivators with every step forward she took.

He directed his gaze towards the sky again. The Golden Pheasant Elder had been scared out of his wits by Li Qingshan’s punch. He was not even bold enough to circle around. He unfurled his wings and flew off into the clouds.

Li Qingshan casually let go of the hilt and shook his hand. He exhaled gently. He leaned backwards by dropping a shoulder as he extended his hand as hard as he could, like a lead ball being thrown into the air. However, his feet showed no intentions of leaving the ground. Instead, they became even more deeply rooted.

Compared to his movements, everything that unfolded in the surroundings seemed like a static frame.

Turbulent daemon qi surged into his arm. Something was released, and his slender hand suddenly turned into the colour of black iron, swelling and extending rapidly.

Three meters, fifteen meters, thirty meters. With his five fingers that were as thick as the hall’s pillars spread out, he reached towards the fleeing golden pheasant in the air.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The Golden Pheasant Elder was fear-stricken. He felt a terrifying force crush down on him, almost suffocating him. He fell back towards the hall again. In that instant, the comparison between the two of them seemed to turn back to normal. An arrogant rooster was trapped in the hands of a human, delivered to the kitchen. All that remained was fright.

All the disciples of the Green Vine mountain widened their eyes. All of this was something that would only appear in a nightmare. No one could imagine just what kind of monster was hiding within the hall as they stared at the huge, demonic claws.

The hall was extremely spacious, but it was probably extremely restrictive to the monster!

The golden pheasant was forcefully ripped apart by the huge hand. Li Qingshan’s hand had shrunken back to its normal size, gripping the Golden Pheasant Elder’s throat. The elder struck the ground heavily, and golden feathers floated around in the surroundings.

Boom! The shockwave expanded in all directions, speeding up the collapse of the hall. The debris and beams fell with a rumble.

The Golden Pheasant Elder called out, “You can’t kill me! That’ll defy the Treaty of Kings! It’ll lead to war! You’ll suffer a horrid death too! Release me! We have no particularly great grievances!”

Li Qingshan bent over and whispered into his ear with a smile, “I have another name, Niu Juxia!”

The Golden Pheasant Elder’s eyes narrowed. He opened his mouth in an attempt to say something, but he lost that ability forever. Li Qingshan snapped off his neck. Not only had his spine been crushed, but he had been beheaded too. Blood spurted everywhere.

At the same time, Xiao An’s bone sword had already penetrated the Lone Grave Elder through the forehead. His deathy-white face was filled with fear, making him seem no different from the many corpses he had seen in the past.

Having lost the Ancient Bronze Corpse General, the Lone Grave Elder became the weakest among the three. He could not even block a single strike from Xiao An. Flames surged out, and he was incinerated instantly.

Rumble! The hall collapsed completely.

The disciples of the Green Vine mountain looked over. A man wielding a blade stood within the ruins atop the mountain. His scarlet hair surged wildly in the wind as the full moon hovered behind him, blurring his appearance and casting a black silhouette, which made him seem even loftier than the Green Vine mountain below his feet.

The only thing they could clearly make out were a scarlet pair of scorching yet cold eyes.

He raised the ice blade high into the air and moonlight poured over the blade. Murderousness filled the air, as if it wanted to dye the moon bright red too.
