196: Chapter 196 It's none of your business

"You bastard."

The Woman in Green was furious; her jade-like hand flipped, and she struck a palm toward Li Qing.

The Great Dao descended as a golden palm print blasted toward Li Qing with immense force.

"husband, be careful."

Yinshen Jade was shocked and was just about to take action.

Buzz.

A brilliant divine light emerged from between Li Qing's brows, and a golden sword beam shot out from within, blowing the palm print apart in a single strike.

"Saint Realm Sword Intent."

Yinshen Jade and the Woman in Green exclaimed in unison.

How is that possible?

He is only a Peak Quasi-Saint.

How could he have comprehended Saint Realm Sword Intent?

Without reaching the Saint realm, it is fundamentally impossible to comprehend Saint Realm Sword Intent.

The Woman in Green bit her pearly teeth and looked at Li Qing.

"Are you done yet?"

Li Qing was also angry.

"Am I done?"

"You did that kind of thing to me."

"Is it wrong for me to kill you?"

The Woman in Green looked at Li Qing with gritted teeth.

"No, can you be a bit reasonable?"

"You want to kill me."

"And you won't even let me fight back?"

"Even though the counterattack was a bit intense..."

"But the fault lies with you."

Li Qing said coldly.

These words instantly made the Woman in Green extremely furious.

Was that just a "bit intense"?

Don't you know how fierce your counterattack was?

"I want to kill you."

"Did you have to do that?"

"Why didn't you just kill me?"

The Woman in Green's teeth creaked from biting so hard.

[Nonsense, as if I didn't want to kill you.]

[If you were the Heavenly Dao True Self, would I keep you around for the New Year?]

"You..."

Pfft.

The Woman in Green's chest heaved with anger; suddenly, her mouth opened, and she sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood.

Li Qing: "..."

[No, the assassination attempt turned into an insurance scam?]

"This has nothing to do with me."

"I didn't even touch you."

Li Qing quickly distanced himself from the situation.

"True body, you..."

The Woman in Green's body swayed, and she tumbled straight down.

The Heavenly Dao True Self's previous strike had actually hidden a secret force.

Li Qing: "..."

[True body?]

[Heavenly Dao.]

[She was injured by the Heavenly Dao True Self.]

[An Avatar of Heavenly Dao is nothing more than a Heavenly Dao Puppet.]

[In the eyes of the cold Heavenly Dao, she's not even worth as much as an ant.]

An ant?

The Woman in Green recalled the punishments the Heavenly Dao had inflicted on her over the years.

She truly was as humble as an ant.

Her gaze fell upon Li Qing; for some reason, a crystalline shimmer appeared in her beautiful eyes, and a single tear quietly slid down.

[Why is she crying?]

[Damn, even an Avatar of Heavenly Dao can cry.]

[Right, the Heavenly Dao True Self is a cold machine, but the Incarnation possesses the seven emotions and six desires.]

[Crying doesn't seem that strange, then.]

The Woman in Green turned her head away, not wanting Li Qing to see her crying.

At this moment, the ground was getting closer and closer.

Just as she was preparing to hit the ground...

Whoosh.

A figure flashed beside her; Li Qing appeared and, under the Woman in Green's stunned gaze, took her into his arms.

"Don't misunderstand."

"Seeing as you saved me today..."

"I'll save you once in return."

"Now we're even."

Li Qing explained.

"Who saved you?"

The Woman in Green's eyebrows shot up.

She didn't know why she had acted at that moment either.

Li Qing said nothing; with a flash, he appeared on a mountain peak and gently helped the Woman in Green sit down on a large rock.

"Um... do you want to take a healing Medicinal Pill?" Li Qing looked at her and asked.

"None of your business."

The Woman in Green turned her head away.

"I will definitely kill you." The Woman in Green looked back at Li Qing with a cold gaze filled with icy killing intent.

[Kill me?]

[I have the Saint Realm Sword Intent protecting my body now.]

[You're only at the Early Stage of the Saint Realm; killing me won't be that easy.]

Buzz.

Just then, the Void Realm near the Woman in Green suddenly distorted, and she vanished instantly.

[Heavenly Dao.]

Li Qing's gaze narrowed.

Only the Heavenly Dao True Self could instantly whisk away a Saint Realm Avatar of Heavenly Dao.

"husband, are you alright?"

Yinshen Jade hurried to Li Qing's side and began to check on him.

Her eyes were full of heartache.

"I'm fine."

Li Qing shook his head.

"Let's go."

Li Qing took Yinshen Jade's hand, and with a flash, they both disappeared.

In an immortal city.

Li Qing and Yinshen Jade were drinking in a private room of a restaurant.

Rumble.

Just then, terrifying thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky, with streaks of purple lightning flashing within; a sense of wrath permeated heaven and earth.

Li Qing only glanced at it.

He didn't care.

He continued drinking.

However, in the endless Void Realm, terrifying purple lightning was madly striking the Woman in Green, her body covered in scorch marks.

"Get down there and reflect on your actions."

A cold shout echoed through the Void Realm, and a bolt of purple lightning blasted the Woman in Green straight into an abyss.

The Woman in Green bit her red lips hard, never making a sound.

The child of destiny's wedding had failed.

The Heavenly Dao was venting its fury upon this Incarnation, the Woman in Green.

"Who exactly is obstructing the child of destiny?"

"Why can't I find them?"

"An Anomaly?"

A cold, ghostly, and lonely voice rang out in the Void Realm.

"Have you heard?"

"The Immortal Court has been conquered."

"What?"

"That's impossible, right?"

"How is it impossible?"

"It seems the Saint behind the Immortal Court has been heavily injured."

"Several Great Divine Kingdoms took the opportunity to counterattack the Immortal Court."

"I heard the Immortal Court's War God, Yuan Feng, was captured, along with her younger sister, Yuan Ling."

"Tsk tsk, those two are famously beautiful in the Immortal Realm."

"They're in for a rough time now."

A wave of discussion came from the restaurant.

"What on earth?"

Li Qing was stunned.

[Holy crap, the Immortal Court has been conquered.]

[The plot has collapsed this much?]

[No, I have to go take a look.]

Li Qing put the money for the wine on the table and immediately pulled Yinshen Jade, vanishing from the spot.

Meanwhile.

In a dark hall of the Immortal Court.

Gu Beichen looked with burning eyes at Yuan Feng and Yuan Ling, who were tied up in the hall.

Several guards lay nearby on the ground, long since breathless.

"Gu Beichen."

Yuan Ling looked at Gu Beichen in shock.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the famous beauties of the Immortal Realm, truly stunning. Today, you both belong to me." Gu Beichen looked at Yuan Feng and Yuan Ling with greed in his eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

Yuan Feng's expression changed.

"What do you think?"

Gu Beichen gave a wicked smile.

"If you dare touch us, I will surely kill you," Yuan Feng said coldly.

"Heh, who said I was going to move? It'll be the same if you two move."

Gu Beichen smiled faintly.

Simultaneously, he flipped his hand, revealing a red orb, and smashed it onto the ground.

Bang.

A pale red mist slowly began to spread through the hall.

"This is..."

"Immortal Joy Mortal World Mist," Gu Beichen said with a grin.

"Despicable."

Yuan Feng and Yuan Ling's faces turned pale.

"I remember, Yuan Ling, the person you like is Li Qing, right?"

"Tsk tsk, if I sleep with his woman..."

"Don't you think that would be very interesting?"

Gu Beichen laughed.

"Li Qing..."

Li Qing's image appeared in Yuan Ling's mind, and the Gu Beichen before her eyes actually began to transform into Li Qing.

The Immortal Joy Mortal World Mist was taking effect.

"Whoa, who's calling me?"

Two Li Qings suddenly appeared before Yuan Ling's eyes.

"Li Qing, why are you here?"

Gu Beichen's shocked and angry voice rang out in the hall.

"I'm not the only one here."

"Look behind you."

Gu Beichen turned his head and saw Ji Changhong looking at him with a livid face.

He tried to flee, but Ji Changhong grabbed him.

"What, just last night you said you had no energy left?"

"But today you're full of it?"

"Come, show this old woman some of that energy."

Ji Changhong grabbed Gu Beichen by the collar and dragged him out of the hall.

"No!"

Gu Beichen's shrill, miserable screams echoed outside the hall.
