Chapter 1144: Arrival
"You've already gone mad!" Wen Xiangyou sighed.
"You bunch of old bastards, it was your interference that ruined the great matters of my family!" At this moment, Ji Wushuang stepped forward, his face fierce as he looked at the group of elders. "Our Ji family has suffered, and you won't live either. Die!"
Boom!
Ji Wushuang made his move, and the vast power of the Other Shore emerged, forming a force of annihilation, enveloping the group of elders.
"Protect the elders!
As soon as Ji Wushuang attacked, more than a dozen figures moved, standing in front of the elders.
This was the elders' guard squad, masters all of them, wielding the power of gods and ghosts!
Moreover, these people were loyal to Huaxia, willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives, to protect the elders' safety!
So, even in the face of the Other Shore's might, they were not afraid!
As members of the guard squad, they had long been ready to risk their lives, living with their heads tied to their waistbands!
To protect the elders, even in death, they would find meaning!
However, the masters of the guard squad were fast, yet someone was faster and stronger!
Xu Qingling moved, a brilliance appeared in her hand, transforming into a shower of flowers, spreading throughout the small building!
The same power of the Other Shore, the same surging waves, the same irresistible force...
The difference being, Ji Wushuang was killing, while Xu Qingling was defending!
Boom!
Ji Wushuang's power came crashing down on the floral barrier, shaking the entire small building.
"Xu Qingling, you dare to stop me?" Ji Wushuang roared.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xu Qingling said calmly. "Besides, I've already stopped you, haven't you seen?"
"Bastard!" Ji Wushuang looked at Xu Qingling, his teeth almost grinding to pieces.
Xu Qingling was the woman he admired, and under family pressure, they were already engaged.
However, even though they were engaged, Xu Qingling didn't care for him, her face always cold!
In fact, after meeting Ye Chen, Xu Qingling called off their marriage, which left Ji Wushuang with resentment, even wanting to kill in frustration!
But, after all, Ji Wushuang was a prodigy, and even with his heart full of rage, he didn't do anything foolish. But that didn't mean he had no hatred in his heart. In fact, he always wanted revenge, for Xu Qingling to regret it deeply!
Because of this, Ji Wushuang buried himself in cultivation, wanting to make a powerful comeback and strike at Xu Qingling, making her fall into regret and become his personal plaything!
However, reality gave him a slap in the face, because after he achieved some mastery, Xu Qingling had also reached the Other Shore!
Watching the celestial Xu Qingling, Ji Wushuang's heart bled!
If Xu Qingling were merely mundane, it wouldn't matter, for Ji Wushuang's status was beyond compare, and he did not lack such mundane women!
But after Xu Qingling left him, she became as beautiful as a celestial painting, surpassing all the women he had ever seen, filling Ji Wushuang with reluctance, unwilling to fail this time!
"Extreme Blood Order, Heavenly Fire Calamity!"
Unsuccessful in one strike, Ji Wushuang grew angrier and made another move, unleashing a Great Divine Power towards Xu Qingling and the others.
A terrifying scene unfolded, as the fire within the Wood Tower evolved into a fire dragon, soaring into the sky, turning the entire tower to ashes!
The power of the fire dragon was astonishingly grotesque, indescribable, causing even General Mountain to tremble.
Furthermore, the fire dragon emitted flames capable of incinerating all, causing the void to collapse.
However, the people inside the small building were unharmed, as a rain of flowers descended, forming a barrier that protected them all.
"Xu Qingling, are you only brave enough to defend?" Ji Wushuang roared. "Aren't you Huaxia's number one female general? Is defending without attacking your stature as a general?"
"I'm afraid if I attack, you'll just die, and then what fun would it be?" Xu Qingling smiled faintly.
"You're just all talk. If you have the guts, let's fight to the death!" Ji Wushuang challenged.
Ji Wushuang and Xu Qingling were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine victory, let alone life and death!
In truth, Ji Wushuang didn't want to kill Xu Qingling, but rather a few elders!
Only if Xu Qingling fought with full force, without protecting everyone, could Ji Wushuang seize the opportunity to kill!
However, would Xu Qingling realize this? Would she be foolish enough to fall into Ji Wushuang's trap?
Yet, just as Ji Wushuang provoked with these thoughts, Xu Qingling truly stopped defending, turning to attack Ji Wushuang!
Boom!
An indescribable power emerged, transforming into a brilliant divine sword, shaking sun and moon, piercing through the sky.
Xu Qingling flew forward, grasping the divine sword in hand, slashing towards Ji Wushuang.
In an instant, Xu Qingling swung a hundred thousand and eight swords, each strike to the extreme, capable of shattering stars beyond the heavens.
The hundred thousand and eight swords radiated with Dao rhythm, merging into one, forming a storm of ten thousand swords, destroying this realm of time and space!
Boom!
The storm of ten thousand swords shot towards the sky, sweeping over Ji Wushuang, who, no matter how terrified, how he fought back, was engulfed.
In an instant, Ji Wushuang was torn to pieces by the ten thousand swords, exploding into a cloud of blood mist, unable to utter a scream before his death!
This all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, Xu Qingling had already killed the enemy, leaving everyone in shock!
"I told you, if I attacked, you would die, but you insisted I try..." Xu Qingling sighed deeply, watching the blood mist dissipate.
"..."
"Wushuang!"
Ji Dahai was the first to react, but it was too late, Ji Wushuang was dead, with nothing left behind!
"Boom!"
After slaying Ji Wushuang, the storm of swords was unstoppable, sweeping towards Ji Dahai and the middle-aged man with the might to destroy the heavens and earth.
Ji Dahai was so overwhelmed by the imposing force that he momentarily forgot to resist, his whole being engulfed by the shadow of death.
However, it wasn't just Ji Dahai present; there was also a Saintly Great Power!
Ji Dahai found it difficult to muster any will to resist in the face of the storm of ten thousand swords, but the Saintly Great Power was different!
"You killed my disciple?!"
A roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing General's Mountain to crumble. The middle-aged man came to his senses, furious beyond measure!
Xu Qingling suddenly unleashed her ultimate move, not only killing Ji Wushuang but also targeting Ji Dahai, catching everyone off guard.
Moreover, Xu Qingling's strike was so swift, as fast as lightning, that there was no time to react, even for the middle-aged man, who could not intervene to save him in time!
The middle-aged man was highly enraged, his fury surging like a tidal wave. Xu Qingling had killed his disciple right in front of him, leaving him powerless to prevent it... This was humiliation!
"Wretched girl, how dare you kill my disciple! I want you dead, everyone dead, with no place for burial!"
A gigantic hand covered the sky, sweeping across the void, and directly extinguished the storm of ten thousand swords, pressing down towards Xu Qingling and the others.
Ji Wushuang, possessing Dao Roots, was a prodigy endowed by heavens. The middle-aged man had only this one disciple, whom he took great pride in, considering him his true disciple!
But now, his true disciple was killed, and he was powerless to stop it, driving the middle-aged man mad, wanting to kill everyone!
"Ten Thousand Swords Guard!"
The Saint came to kill, a giant palm descended from the sky. Xu Qingling shouted sharply, unleashing an extreme Sword Intent, manifesting as a screen of ten thousand swords to protect herself and a group of elders!
"Boom!"
A tremendous bang resonated through the heavens and earth, the giant palm fell and crushed everything, shattering the screen of ten thousand swords into nothingness.
Puff!
Xu Qingling's Divine Skills were broken, and she spewed blood, her face turning pale as paper.
However, as the giant palm pulverized the ten thousand swords, it also scattered, as if its power was depleted.
"Your encounters are truly remarkable; to have learned Sword Dao Divine Skills and withstand the might of a Saint!"
The middle-aged man appeared surprised, as if truly amazed.
Xu Qingling was only a strong figure from the Other Shore, not yet having formed the Other Shore Palace, yet she could slay powerhouses of the same rank and withstand the majesty of the Saint... This overturned common sense, greatly astonishing the middle-aged man.
Moreover, the Divine Skill Xu Qingling practiced was Sword Dao Divine Skills, capable of attacking and defending, which stirred greed within the middle-aged man.
"Your Divine Skills are strong, but without entering the Holy Path, ultimately you're an ant!" the middle-aged man said. "You killed my beloved disciple, I must kill you! However, if you share your Divine Skills with me, I might consider sparing your life!"
Among the three thousand paths of the Way, there is strength and weakness, and Sword Dao is one of the Kings among them!
Xu Qingling's Sword Dao is so astonishing, it must be because she received powerful inheritance. If the middle-aged man gains this, he might just comprehend something and thereby cultivate a Sovereign!
So, looking at the beleaguered Xu Qingling, he chose not to strike again, but to entice instead.
"You want to learn my Sword Dao?" Xu Qingling smiled inexplicably.
"Indeed!" the middle-aged man said. "As long as you teach me generously, teach me Sword Dao, I can spare your life!"
"You mustn't!" Ji Dahai shouted. "Xu Qingling killed my grandson; she must die, be buried with him!"
"The dead cannot come back to life; I only want the Divine Skills!" the middle-aged man said.
"You!" Ji Dahai was rendered speechless.
"You can't learn it!" Xu Qingling suddenly said. "This kind of Sword Dao is unique to me; even if I wanted to teach you, you wouldn't be able to learn it!"
The Sword Dao Xu Qingling practices is an extremely powerful Sword Dao, called Azure Lotus Sword Song!
This was originally a Divine Skill from the Canglan Realm, but it was learned by Ye Chen, who brought it back to Earth and taught it to Xu Qingling.
However, the Azure Lotus Sword Song is vast and profound, very mysterious, and to practice this Sword Dao, one must have a pure heart!
In fact, the power of the Azure Lotus Sword Song is immense. Ye Chen wanted his wives to learn it, but after teaching each of them, only Xu Qingling learned it!
Therefore, Xu Qingling said this because even if she were willing to teach, the middle-aged man would not be able to learn it!
"As long as you're willing to teach, learning it or not is none of your concern!" the middle-aged man said.
"But, I never said I would teach you!" Xu Qingling laughed.
"You're mocking me!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"Heh!" Xu Qingling chuckled coldly, without saying more.
Azure Lotus Sword Song was given to her by Ye Chen, like a token of betrothal, unique and solely belonging to her. How could Xu Qingling impart it to others?
"I know you're proud and aloof, unwilling to be coerced, but that's okay. I have plenty of ways to make you afraid, to make you willing to teach me!"
The middle-aged man glanced over Xu Qingling with a gaze full of malice and immorality.
"This woman can be kept alive, but the rest must die!" Ji Dahai said. "The Ji family's destruction is because of them, Wushuang's death is because of them, these old guys must die!"
"Alright!" the middle-aged man said. "I will kill them and take this woman!"
"However, we have not lost yet. As long as we kill these old guys, we can still rise again!"
The middle-aged man made his move again, the Saint's might swept through the heavens and the earth. One giant hand reached for Xu Qingling, the other for Li Kuishou and the others.
It's over!
Xu Qingling exhausted her strength confronting the Saint, suffering injuries. Now, as the middle-aged man attacked again, she found herself powerless to resist, feeling an impending doom unavoidable.
Moreover, since Xu Qingling was unable to resist, it was needless to mention the group of elders.
At this moment, desperation filled everyone's hearts, a bleakness seeping through.
But just when everyone was about to meet disaster, a figure appeared silently, standing in front of Xu Qingling and the others.
Whoosh!
The two massive hands approached with the power to demolish mountains and rivers; however, as this figure appeared, the two giant palms surprisingly disintegrated and dissolved!
