250: Take it

“Too weak to withstand a single blow.”

Yuan Anping flicked his wrist, shaking off the remaining minced flesh and bloodstains from his palm, then scanned his surroundings, seemingly searching for his next target.

Luo Qingwei flew over and embraced Luo Changtian, her eyes blank as she gazed at her brother’s lifeless pupils.

“Brother… Brother, wake up!”

Luo Qingwei sobbed, pressing her ear against Luo Changtian’s cheek, hoping he would wake up and say a word to her.

But she was destined to be disappointed; Luo Changtian was completely dead, with no possibility of revival.

“Ah!!”

A piercing scream echoed through the heavens and earth. Luo Qingwei gently laid her brother’s corpse on the ground, her expression filled with hatred as she looked at Yuan Anping, her eyes bloodshot from intense emotion.

“Heh heh, now do you think freedom is better, or life is better?” Yuan Anping asked with a faint smile on his lips.

He particularly liked the look in Luo Qingwei’s eyes—full of hatred and madness, that gaze that wished to tear him into a thousand pieces was captivating.

Yuan Anping smiled and said, “Kill me to avenge your brother, or I’ll send you siblings to reunite.”

“Go to hell!”

Luo Qingwei’s face was contorted in a ferocious expression, her surrounding magical power inflating her robes. Behind her, a several-zhang-tall phantom suddenly materialized.

The phantom resembled a woman, graceful in form, dressed in a pure white long dress, with branches of petals adorning the hem, making her appear even more noble.

Xu Sanyan looked at the phantom and frowned slightly. The female phantom had no face?

There were no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose where they should be; her face was as smooth as a peeled egg.

“Give me back my brother’s life!”

Luo Qingwei lunged forward, her palm condensing a terrifying light. The phantom behind her moved in unison, both striking out with a palm.

Though it takes a while to describe, all of this happened in a brief instant. By the time Fang Qingge reacted, Luo Qingwei had already charged forward.

“Junior Sister Luo, no!”

Fang Qingge was greatly alarmed. Such an attack was surely a suicide mission!

Luo Qingwei paid no heed. Her brother’s death had clouded her mind, causing her to ignore the vast disparity in their strength.

Xu Sanyan’s expression also changed. He couldn’t let Luo Qingwei die in vain. If they all died, he alone would find it very difficult to contend with this person.

Without time to think, a large expanse of red mist instantly surged from around Xu Sanyan, completely concealing his figure.

In a flash, a dark red figure burst out from within the red mist.

“Hah!”

Xu Sanyan’s exposed fangs gleamed with a cold light, his dark pupils filled with ferocity. His great halberd, carrying immense power, cleaved directly towards Yuan Anping’s head.

On the other side, Fang Qingge gritted his teeth fiercely, looking at the long sword in his hand, his face suddenly turning pale. He once again spat out a mouthful of vital blood, all of it landing on the sword.

“Qingge’s Path!”

Suddenly, ten thousand rays of light converged on the sword body, its Aura several times more intense than before. But judging by his face, it was clear he was at the end of his rope; after this attack, he likely had no more strength left.

Yuan Anping watched as three beams of light attacked from three directions, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. The Luo Qingwei in the middle posed a general threat, not worth serious attention.

But the vast Sword Qi on the left made his hair stand on end. He had a feeling in his heart that this sword could truly threaten him!

“I never expected a mere Mystic Path Realm cultivator to possess such strength. Truly remarkable.”

Yuan Anping praised in his heart, then shifted his gaze to Xu Sanyan. This person posed the greatest danger to him, and he was also the highest-cultivated person present.

“Hahahahaha, come on!”

Yuan Anping laughed loudly. The Ghost Beast formed by black mist above his head instantly split into three, each moving to meet one of the three individuals.

The black mist on the Ghost Beast’s body visibly thinned considerably, but no one dared to underestimate it.

“Boom!”

Luo Qingwei in the middle was the first to collide with it. The phantom’s palm struck heavily on the Ghost Beast’s pointed horn. In an instant, the faceless woman seemed to deflate, her figure rapidly shrinking.

However, the Ghost Beast was not unscathed. Large amounts of ghost Qi were dispersed by the faceless woman, scattering outwards under the gloomy sky, making the Ghost Beast’s figure even fainter.

“Pfft!”

Luo Qingwei tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the crimson blood staining her long dress. Her figure flew backward at an even faster speed.

The disparity in strength between the two was ultimately too great. Even if Luo Qingwei used all her abilities, it was futile.

It seemed that even in extreme anger, one could not accomplish anything.

At the same time, Fang Qingge roared, “Go!”

The vast Sword Qi finished condensing, forming a majestic Azure Dragon in the air. Its dark green pupils emitted a chilling coldness as it fiercely charged towards the dark Ghost Beast.

“Rumble!”

A loud bang echoed in the sky. The Sword Qi Azure Dragon opened its massive maw, intending to devour the Ghost Beast, while the Ghost Beast raised its pointed horn, also wanting to pierce the Azure Dragon.

The two beasts collided in mid-air, emitting thunderous roars. The Sword Qi Azure Dragon shattered section by section, its body pierced by the Ghost Beast.

Conversely, the Ghost Beast was not doing well either. Large amounts of ghost Qi steamed upwards, and the emerald green light mixed with the black mist, coloring the entire sky with two hues.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Sword Qi shattered, ghost Qi dissipated. After a moment of stalemate, both were annihilated simultaneously!

Fang Qingge suppressed the metallic taste rising in his throat, swallowing the surging blood with a “gulp.”

He then quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Pouch, casually opened the lid, and aimed the bottle mouth at his mouth, swallowing Medicinal Pills like they were free.

After this move, he had no more strength left to act.

At the same time, Xu Sanyan also met the Ghost Beast. His great halberd, carrying scorching red mist, chopped down fiercely, drawing a brilliant red light in mid-air, instantly cleaving the Ghost Beast’s single horn.

Swish—

The sound of air tearing was sharp and piercing. The Ghost Beast’s entire head was cut in half by the great halberd. Black mist billowed out from between the Ghost Beast’s head, and red mist adhered to the Ghost Beast’s wound, rapidly corroding it.

Yuan Anping’s face was solemn, his eyes fixed intently on the blood mist around Xu Sanyan, as he slowly uttered a few words,

“heaven and earth treasures?!”

He felt a different kind of power from it—an irresistible, unexpellable power.

He recognized and knew that this was definitely the power of the Heavenly Dao!

But how could this child, with only Soul Refining cultivation, wield the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Therefore, there was only one possibility: he possessed a Heaven and Earth Treasure!

Thinking of this, a glint of excitement suddenly flashed in Yuan Anping’s eyes. If he had a Heaven and Earth Treasure, he would have a chance to comprehend the Heavenly Dao within it, and perhaps he could truly attempt to Breakthrough to Ghost King within the Secret Realm!

heaven and earth treasures were precisely derivatives of the Heavenly Dao, containing a certain Law of the Heavenly Dao!

“Hahahahahahaha… Heaven helps me!!”

Yuan Anping laughed uproariously, his gaze fixed on Xu Sanyan, his eyes filled with greed. With a Heaven and Earth Treasure, and then finding a way to get those two fruits…

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, unable to restrain himself. His figure suddenly flickered, appearing before Xu Sanyan.

Behind him, a dark Ghost Beast suddenly appeared, as if emerging from the Void Realm, fiercely grabbing at Xu Sanyan.

“Give it to me!”
