Chapter 190: Mu Yunqing dies!_2
Yun Xinyue's body began to twist involuntarily, as if craving something.
BUZZ!
Under Wen Zhixing's control, a vast amount of essence energy poured into her body.
The Essence Absorption Skill rapidly activated.
Yun Xinyue's body was enveloped by rich, scorching Yang Qi, as if she were overwhelmed by immense excitement.
Her injuries also started to heal quickly.
Wen Zhixing clicked his tongue in amazement. Tsk, this Essence Absorption Skill is comparable to a Purple Quality cultivation skill. Essence absorption skills defy the natural order, but their effects are indeed heaven-defying. With such powerful effects, no wonder Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli wanted to perform essence absorption on me when they were injured.
"In you go," Wen Zhixing said. Seeing that Yun Xinyue had almost recovered, he waved his hand again and stored the recovering Yun Xinyue into the Universe Belt.
During this time, Wen Zhixing continuously observed the battle between Si Nanyan and Mu Yunqing. He had originally thought Si Nanyan would be quickly defeated by Mu Yunqing. To his surprise, Si Nanyan suddenly exploded with power, as if she had taken a strength pill, and began directly pummeling Mu Yunqing.
Although the fight went back and forth, Mu Yunqing had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage.
Even though they were within Mu Yunqing's own Divine Ability, Si Nanyan was like a fish in water, seeming even more its master than Mu Yunqing himself.
What exactly is going on? Mu Yunqing's mentality was on the brink of collapse. My own Void Domain is actually nurturing Si Nanyan! I tried to close my Divine Ability, only to be met with rejection. I'm truly going insane!
"Mu Yunqing, die!" Si Nanyan's complexion became even more rosy. With a flip of her slender white hands, a longsword appeared in her palm, radiating a pale blue chill.
CLANG!
Surging sword intent rolled forth. A dazzling sword light suddenly burst from the blade, like an inverted galaxy.
"You... You're also a sword cultivator!" Mu Yunqing's eyes widened in shock as he swiftly dodged.
But the sword light pursued him relentlessly, like a maggot boring into bone, forcing Mu Yunqing to retreat step by step.
At this moment, he could never have imagined that even at this stage, Si Nanyan still had such a trump card.
"Who said I'm a sword cultivator? I don't like this kind of killing business," Si Nanyan giggled, covering her mouth. Sword cultivator? That doesn't appeal to me.
This longsword was, in fact, a Spiritual Treasure with a sword spirit! It was a gift from Murong Fenghua that she had kept as her trump card. The reason she hadn't used it before was that even if she had, she wouldn't have been his match, and she had also run out of Spiritual Qi. Activating a Spiritual Treasure required a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. Now that her Spiritual Qi had recovered and was continuously being replenished, she could naturally use it again.
The pale blue light flashed again.
SPLASH!
Mu Yunqing finally couldn't withstand it anymore. He felt a blur before his eyes as a sharp pain suddenly erupted from between his brows.
The sword light pierced straight through his body! Red and white matter sprayed from the wound.
"It's over." Upon seeing this, Si Nanyan's face finally relaxed completely.
A Sixth Realm cultivator might barely survive without a heart. But if the head was destroyed and the Sea of Sense shattered, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.
BOOM!
"AHHH!!!" Accompanying Mu Yunqing's unwilling cry, the Void Domain finally began to crumble.
He couldn't believe he had been betrayed by his own painstakingly condensed Inborn Divine Ability.
The surrounding darkness began to fade, and everything returned to normal.
"How... can... this..." Mu Yunqing swayed, his eyes fixed on the woman before him, a glint of despair in them.
That one sword strike had pierced through his divine soul. The terrifying sword intent was rapidly dissolving it.
A sensation of powerlessness overwhelmed him.
I had become so strong. And I had been so cautious. So why did I still fail?
"Si Nanyan... I've lost..." Mu Yunqing's lips finally curled into a bitter smile. He spoke slowly, "I... still... couldn't... defeat you..."
His voice grew lower and slower. No matter how unwilling Mu Yunqing was, even if he still had strategies unused, it was all over.
"You..." Si Nanyan looked at the powerless Mu Yunqing before her, her eyes momentarily dazed.
She seemed to see the youth who had once accompanied her many years ago. For some reason, she felt a tinge of reluctance.
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
The next moment, several more jets of sword wind shot over, nailing Mu Yunqing to the spot.
"You!" Si Nanyan whirled around, a trace of anger in her eyes.
The one who had attacked was, of course, Wen Zhixing.
"Palace Master, this man is dangerous. We mustn't be negligent," Wen Zhixing said from a distance, his face a picture of caution. After speaking, he launched himself forward again, intending to deliver another blow.
This is not the time to be soft-hearted. Previously, Mu Yunqing tried to kill me. He was extremely cautious, but in the end, I didn't die. Therefore, I have to be even more cautious than Mu Yunqing. But how could a sword through the head be enough? I have to chop off his head, first destroy his divine soul, then completely incinerate his body. Only then can I rest easy.
"Enough!" Si Nanyan frowned slightly, her figure instantly appearing in front of Wen Zhixing. She seemed somewhat intent on protecting Mu Yunqing.
CLANG!
The Spiritual Treasure sword followed, now aimed squarely at Wen Zhixing, as if warning him that any further movement would result in his head being separated from his body.
This sword... Wen Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped his attack, his expression turning obedient.
"Where is Xinyue?" Si Nanyan took a deep breath and looked around, but Yun Xinyue and Feng Ruoli were nowhere to be seen.
"Palace Master, please rest assured. I have already rescued Senior Sister Yun," Wen Zhixing said, waving his hand and bringing Yun Xinyue and Feng Ruoli out of his Universe Belt.
Both were still unconscious, but their conditions weren't bad. Especially Feng Ruoli; there was almost nothing seriously wrong with her. She just needed some more time to recuperate. Even Yun Xinyue, though her complexion was somewhat pale, her breathing was stable. The wounds on her body still existed but were healing quickly.
"Good... good... good..." Seeing Yun Xinyue truly recovering, Si Nanyan was visibly agitated, her lips trembling involuntarily.
Yun Xinyue is finally saved. Feng Ruoli is also completely unharmed.
"You did well." Si Nanyan's gaze softened as she looked at Wen Zhixing.
Come to think of it, I really owe a lot to this Wang Shouzhen this time. If not for him, perhaps everything would have been different.
"Palace Master, Mu Yunqing isn't dead yet," Wen Zhixing reminded her, showing no joy at the praise.
"I know." Si Nanyan's beautiful brows furrowed, and she huffed lightly.
The next moment, her figure flashed, appearing beside Mu Yunqing. He was indeed still alive, but his eyes had almost lost focus; he looked as if he would completely lose his life force at any moment.
Si Nanyan didn't strike. She just watched him quietly for a few seconds, then slowly bent down and began searching his body.
Soon, Si Nanyan had taken everything from Mu Yunqing's body. She sighed softly and said, "Back then, you took so much from me. Now it's time for you to return it."
Mu Yunqing's vision was already blurred, but he still sensed Si Nanyan's presence. He didn't speak. His throat merely moved slightly before his body stiffened, and he stopped breathing altogether.
He was dead.
Mu Yunqing was dead.
For a moment, the entire underground prison fell into a brief, deathly silence.
Si Nanyan stared at Mu Yunqing's face in a daze, while Wen Zhixing stared at Si Nanyan's head.
He had initially intended to attack Si Nanyan, but her longsword made him wary.
Wen Zhixing calculated in his mind. Can I kill her with one strike? What are my chances of success if I attack now? Si Nanyan is probably running on fumes, while I still have a trump card I haven't used. I can make my move.
A smile slowly reappeared on Wen Zhixing's face. Si Nanyan, may you rest in peace!
BOOM!
Just then, a dazzling beam of light erupted ahead. The powerful energy surge startled both Si Nanyan and Wen Zhixing.
Thick Devil Qi, appearing from nowhere, suddenly swept through the surroundings. Wen Zhixing's brows furrowed slightly as his figure quickly retreated.
