24: Su Changqing's Terror

"The Lei Family? They're not much, are they?"

Looking at the piles of corpses before him, Su Changqing grinned, his eyes glinting with deep disdain.

Mere Wheel Sea Realm cultivators couldn't even withstand a single move from him.

"Damn it!"

Lei Keming's face was filled with fury, his eyes burning with endless killing intent.

"Brat, today Lei Keming will fight you to the death!"

With that, Lei Keming's figure abruptly vanished, heading straight for Su Changqing.

Although he had expended a good deal of True Qi fighting Li Muxi earlier, he was, after all, a Late Stage Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist with profound foundations and extraordinary combat power, naturally incomparable to an Early Stage Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist.

"Rumble!"

The power of a single sword strike from a Late Stage Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist was terrifying, with surging Sword Qi heading directly towards Su Changqing.

That tearing aura might not even be stoppable by a Peak Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist.

It was clear that Lei Keming was truly enraged.

Su Changqing didn't dare to be careless, as there was a significant difference in their cultivation.

"Purple Extreme Immortal Eyes, open!"

"Dragon Swimming Step!"

After activating his Purple Extreme Immortal Eyes, Su Changqing employed the Dragon Swimming Step to dodge.

Although he had cultivated this movement technique to the Perfection Realm, coupled with the assistance of his Purple Extreme Immortal Eyes, Lei Keming initially failed to strike Su Changqing.

However, the opponent's speed was very fast, and the Sword Qi in his hand became increasingly sharp.

Su Changqing no longer dodged.

"This is a good chance to test my current strength on you."

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes, his expression calm.

"Intercepting Heaven Nine Swords, Ninth Sword!"

Rumble!

The longsword in Su Changqing's hand moved incredibly fast, leaving only afterimages, as terrifying Sword Qi surged forth.

This sword strike was fast to the extreme.

The Ninth Sword of the Intercepting Heaven Nine Swords was the most powerful sword strike of the entire Intercepting Heaven Nine Swords.

The power of a single sword strike could shatter mountains!

The immense aura made even Lei Keming feel a sense of danger.

He quickly unleashed Sword Qi to block.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion instantly resounded throughout the entire Pill Hall.

The Martial Artists who had retreated outside were all shocked and extremely curious, but they dared not approach to watch.

After all, no one knew what was truly happening inside, and if they were caught in the aftermath, they would surely die.

Such terrifying power was not something they could contend with.

"Pfft!"

Lei Keming was sent flying by Su Changqing's sword strike, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body shaking violently.

His hand holding the longsword felt numb, his eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and disbelief.

"How is this possible!"

"You are only a Peak Mortal Shedding Realm Martial Artist, how can you possess such strength?"

He had seen Prodigy Martial Artists, but he had never seen such a monstrous existence.

Clearly just a Peak Mortal Shedding Realm Martial Artist, yet he could unleash such terrifying power.

Even he might not be his opponent.

If this were to spread, it's likely no one would believe it.

Su Changqing's face was also a bit pale at this moment; that sword strike had consumed a lot of his True Qi.

However, the effect was also good.

"There's still a lot you don't know."

Su Changqing sneered, not intending to waste any words.

The next moment, a surge of Cold Ice Sword Intent erupted from Su Changqing.

In an instant, the entire Pill Hall felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar, exceptionally cold. Even Late Stage Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artists like Li Muxi and Lei Keming felt an inexplicable chill.

Not only that, the longsword in Lei Keming's hand and the longswords scattered on the ground all hummed, trembling continuously.

"This... what is this?"

Lei Keming's eyes widened, and a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Li Muxi was also utterly bewildered, clearly having never seen such a situation.

"This sword strike, I wonder if you can block it!"

The next moment, Su Changqing swung his sword.

It looked ordinary and simple, without any embellishment.

However, this sword strike, infused with Cold Ice Sword Intent, possessed monstrous power, something that Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artists simply could not withstand.

That terrifying Sword Intent was fast to the extreme, arriving before Lei Keming in a flash.

His eyes widened, and he quickly swung his sword to block.

"Bang!"

But at that instant, the longsword in Lei Keming's hand shattered directly.

The next moment, the Sword Intent directly swallowed him.

"No!!!"

Lei Keming let out a roar of unwillingness, immediately followed by being swallowed by this Sword Intent, dead beyond dead.

"Dead... dead?"

Li Muxi swallowed, looking at the fallen Lei Keming beside her, a bloody mess, truly dead beyond dead.

This... how could this be?

If a Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist or an Earthly Fiend Realm Martial Artist had killed him, Li Muxi wouldn't have been surprised.

But the one who killed Lei Keming was merely a Peak Mortal Shedding Realm Martial Artist.

There was a two major Realm difference between them!

How the hell was this possible?

Throughout the entire Heavenly Martial Continent, she had never heard of anything so outrageous.

Today's events had completely refreshed her worldview.

At this moment, her gaze towards Su Changqing was filled with deep fear.

That's right, it was fear!

Although the man before her was incredibly handsome, his strength was like that of a ghost or god, impossible to contend with.

Su Changqing retracted his longsword, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Immediately after, he swallowed a few Medicinal Pills to restore his True Qi, and his originally pale face improved considerably.

The battle with Lei Keming had also given him a clearer understanding of his true combat strength.

At least below the Earthly Fiend Realm, he was almost an invincible existence.

When all his various methods were unleashed, even a Peak Nascent Divinity Realm Martial Artist would fall.

However, Su Changqing's biggest problem right now was insufficient True Qi.

After all, he was currently only at the Peak Mortal Shedding Realm. Although he Cultivated an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, the quality and quantity of True Qi in his body far surpassed Martial Artists of the same Realm.

But compared to the Nascent Divinity Realm, it was still quite a bit less.

However, this problem would be negligible once his cultivation improved in the future.

Overall, Su Changqing was quite satisfied with his current strength.

After restoring some True Qi, Su Changqing prepared to leave the Pill Hall.

After all, the task was complete, and he just had to wait for the Secret Realm to end and then leave.

However, just then, Li Muxi's voice came:

"Wait... wait a moment."

"Hmm?"

Su Changqing turned his head, looking at the somewhat pale Li Muxi. She was still seriously injured and had not recovered much True Qi.

"What, you want to make a move too?"

Su Changqing smiled lightly, speaking calmly.

Even at her Peak, she wasn't his opponent, let alone now that she was injured.

It was simply impossible.

"No... no."

Li Muxi waved her hands repeatedly.

Then, she revealed a hint of her fair skin, her face looking pitiful, giving off a feeling that made one want to cherish her.

"Young Master, can you give me one of those bronze treasure chests, just one? Please."

Li Muxi's watery big eyes sparkled, and the pair of curves on her upper body were faintly visible, looking extremely alluring.

"If you dare to use that mental secret technique to tempt me again, believe it or not, you won't leave this Secret Realm today!"
