140: Backhand: He Qianxun

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A continuous series of impacts echoed in the air.

Figure after figure was struck down by Qian Sihai.

Ultimately, only Qian Sihai remained standing in the sky.

“Have you realized the gap between us?”

Qian Sihai looked disdainfully at Guo Kai and the others lying on the ground.

“You people are just too pedantic!”

“Practicing martial arts is like cultivating the Dao; these mortals are merely ants relying on the protection of the strong.”

“We are not on the same level of existence at all!”

“It is their honor to be refined and become our battle armor!”

“Without us, they would have long died under the iron hooves of the foreign races. How could they be here today?”

Qian Sihai referred to those people as foreign races instead of the Holy Race.

It could be seen that in his heart, he did not hold much reverence for those foreign races.

Ultimately, it was just mutual utilization.

Guo Kai and the others had grim expressions. Although defeated, they had no intention of begging for mercy.

“We are all compatriots. Don’t you fear divine retribution for such actions?”

“What is divine retribution?”

Qian Sihai scoffed,

“If such a thing truly exists, then how could I still be standing here, looking down upon you all?”

“As the old saying goes, ‘It’s not that there’s no retribution, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.’”

“Time? You won’t see it anyway…”

Halfway through his sentence, Qian Sihai suddenly noticed something amiss.

The playful, mocking expression on his face vanished completely.

His gaze quickly searched around.

“Who is it?”

“It’s someone here to seek justice from you!”

As the words fell, the sky rumbled.

A massive bolt of lightning, over a meter in diameter, crashed down.

Qian Sihai’s expression changed drastically as he felt the terrifying destructive power.

His survival instinct made him retreat quickly.

However, although he flew away, the lightning still curved.

With a bang, it instantly struck Qian Sihai.

“Ah!”

The extremely powerful destructive force of the lightning struck Qian Sihai.

It sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

It created a giant crater with a radius of over ten meters on the ground.

At the same time, powerful currents, imbued with destructive force, surged wildly through Qian Sihai’s body.

They destroyed the cells within him that were still intact.

However, this grotesque skeleton still offset a lot of damage for Qian Sihai.

“Damn it, who is it!”

Qian Sihai roared frantically.

He had just emerged from the crater.

Then his pupils suddenly constricted.

The second bolt of lightning followed immediately!

Where was Qian Sihai’s previous arrogance?

He quickly rode the wind, frantically urging the Qi and blood contained within the grotesque bone armor to help him escape.

However, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose in the direction Qian Sihai was fleeing.

The strong wind whistled, hindering his escape speed.

Bang!

Lightning bolts struck Qian Sihai one after another.

Even with the grotesque bone armor protecting him, Qian Sihai was still severely wounded.

Struck to the ground once more, Qian Sihai’s aura finally weakened.

Qian Sihai slowly flew up from the crater with a ferocious look, his gaze wary as he watched the figure slowly appearing in the distance.

“It’s… you?”

He Qianxun, dressed in the Elder robes of the Martial Arts Pavilion, with an unassuming appearance, smiled slightly,

“What, are you surprised?”

Seeing He Qianxun appear and swiftly repel Qian Sihai,

Guo Kai and the others, who were lying on the ground, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they looked at He Qianxun in surprise.

When did Elder He’s strength become so formidable?

He Qianxun did not give Qian Sihai a chance to catch his breath.

While speaking, he did not forget to send out another bolt of lightning.

Qian Sihai crossed his arms in front of him.

After taking a direct hit from a lightning bolt, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

“I thought it might be you.”

Blood seeped from the corner of Qian Sihai’s mouth, his face full of confusion.

Among the higher-ups, a little investigation would easily reveal the close relationship between Li Canglan, Guan Zhenyue, and He Qianxun.

Qian Sihai naturally anticipated this.

However, due to the large number of Demonic Beasts emerging from the abyss rift,

It was enough to tie up the energy of most Martial Artists.

Therefore, even Guan Zhenyue couldn’t spare the effort to deal with him.

The only one who could act was He Qianxun, who had been biding his time for many years.

“It’s just that I didn’t expect your strength to be so formidable.”

“I’m afraid you’ve already touched the threshold of a Six-Star Martial Master, haven’t you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Kai and the others couldn’t help but gasp.

“Hiss!”

“Wasn’t Elder He just a Five-Star Martial Master during the great battle back then?”

“And he was severely injured in that battle, his strength even regressing to Four-Star.”

“Could it be that Elder He’s injuries have long healed after these years of recuperation?”

He Qianxun glanced at Qian Sihai indifferently.

“Although I haven’t become a Six-Star Martial Master, it should be enough to deal with you!”

As his voice fell, a lightning cage descended from the sky, enveloping Qian Sihai.

This lightning cage was an A-grade Martial Skill!

Eight Directions Heavenly Lightning Lure!

This Martial Skill uses eight powerful lightning bolts as its pillars.

Any enemy within the lightning cage

Is constantly subjected to lightning attacks.

Although He Qianxun had not made a move these past few years,

But staying in the Martial Arts Pavilion, his proficiency in Martial Skills was absolutely unparalleled in Luofeng City!

Under He Qianxun’s full exertion, it was enough to suppress most Five-Star Martial Masters.

Even a Six-Star Martial Master could be challenged!

Screams emanated from the lightning cage.

Time passed minute by minute, but Qian Sihai was slow to die.

He Qianxun’s face was slightly pale.

His appearance here this time was at Li Canglan’s prior request.

He had poured all his strength into this attack, not even considering his own body.

He was completely overdrawing his body to forcibly suppress or even kill Qian Sihai.

Once Qian Sihai endured this period,

If He Qianxun’s body weakened, everyone present would likely be doomed.

Guo Kai and the others could only see He Qianxun’s back and did not notice this.

They could only hear Qian Sihai’s continuous screams.

They thought He Qianxun already had victory in his grasp.

Qian Sihai’s aura slowly weakened.

But he acutely noticed He Qianxun’s abnormality.

“He Qianxun, from what I see, you can’t last much longer, can you?”

Qian Sihai screamed while mocking He Qianxun, trying to break down his psychological defense.

“My life is bound to the Black Scaled Flood Dragon. As long as the Black Scaled Flood Dragon doesn’t die, I will be immortal!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Kai and the others’ expressions changed dramatically.

Looking at Qian Sihai’s confident demeanor,

Could it be that Elder He could no longer hold on?

He Qianxun felt a sweetness in his throat and swallowed the blood back down.

“Is that so?”

“I’d like to see how much longer you can last!”

Qian Sihai’s vitality indeed exceeded He Qianxun’s expectations.

It could be said to be terrifyingly tenacious.

But to say he could truly live and die with a Demonic Beast,

He didn’t believe it!
