219: Killed, Mu Bingyun arrives

Qin Wushuang's voice shook the four fields, his Aura like a rainbow.

"Divine Ability ineffective? Divine Power countered?"

"Is this all you rely on?"

Qin Wushang smiled.

He had thought it was some powerful forbidden technique, but so this was it.

"Then I wonder if you can immunize yourself against Physical Body strength!!"

"Rumble!!!"

Before his voice fell, the roar of Qi and blood within Qin Wushang's body suddenly intensified, sounding like the blast of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

He circulated the Chaos Dragon-Elephant Undying Scripture to the extreme. Beneath his skin, countless faint streams of Chaos Qi and Dragon-Elephant Phantoms surged wildly.

"Crack! Snap!"

His body visibly swelled up another size. His muscles appeared forged by Chaos Qi, clearly defined, and contained explosive power.

He once again displayed his massive, dominant physique!

Blocks of powerful muscles bulged and swelled. Pale golden Qi and blood erupted from his pores, shooting skyward and transforming into nine life-like Undying Golden Dragons.

The Undying Golden Dragons circled around his magnificent body, roaring with surging Dragon might that intimidated the Eight Desolations!

"Roar!"

At this moment, he no longer resembled a Spell Cultivator, but rather a Physical Body Heavenly God who had walked out of the primal wilderness!

"Boom!"

Qin Wushang took a step, and the Void Realm beneath his foot instantly shattered, then began to collapse continuously!

There was not a single trace of Divine Power leakage or Law fluctuation in this movement; it was merely the spatial collapse triggered by the most savage stomp!

Qin Wushang's figure vanished!

No, not vanished!

It was speed!

A terrifying speed achieved by abandoning all Divine Ability techniques and relying solely on the explosive power of the Physical Body!

"Rumble!"

Qin Wushang threw a punch!

He pulled his right fist back. The muscles on his arm twisted like Horned Dragons, veins bulging. The fist was wrapped in pale golden Qi and blood compressed to the extreme, as if he were holding a star about to explode!

This punch was simple and unadorned, yet the power it contained was extremely terrifying!

The massive fist smashed toward Qin Wushuang's central head, unstoppable!

The fist rapidly magnified in Qin Wushuang's pupils, consuming his entire field of vision.

"Get lost!"

At the brink of death, Qin Wushuang's three heads roared simultaneously, his six eyes blazing crimson.

He didn't have time to execute refined halberd techniques and could only rely on instinct, crossing the Golden War Halberd held by his main hands in front of him.

"Clang!"

Fist met halberd, and terrifying power erupted. Qin Wushuang's body shuddered and was forced back several hundred meters.

"Pfft—!"

His arms were agonizingly close to tearing apart, and the web of skin between the thumb and forefinger holding the halberd split open.

"Such... such terrifying Physical Body strength!"

All three of Qin Wushuang's heads showed expressions of shock, and the central head's face turned pale.

He felt that the punch just now was not human strength at all, but the combined charge of thousands of savage Dragon-Elephants!

The god-immunity dao fruit could immunize against Divine Abilities, but it had no effect whatsoever against this purest form of physical brute force!

"Mere brute strength is ultimately inferior! Without the variations of Divine Abilities, what are you worth?"

Qin Wushuang forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and roared to embolden himself.

He took a deep breath, calming his churning Qi and blood. His three heads and six arms moved simultaneously, and the Golden War Halberd in his hands erupted with golden light even more dazzling than before. Ancient Talismans on the halberd shaft moved as if they had come alive.

"Heavenly Dragon Halberd Technique! Rending the Firmament!"

His figure transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, proactively attacking once more!

This time, he perfectly combined speed with the refinement of his halberd technique. The Golden War Halberd seemed to possess life in his hands, drawing a terrifying arc that tore the firmament.

"Is that so?"

Facing this incomparably terrifying halberd strike, Qin Wushang merely curled his lip in disdain.

Not only did he not dodge, but he took another step forward. The Qi and blood around his body boiled, and the golden light intensified.

"Emperor Descends Upon the Nine Heavens!"

With a thought, the Void Realm behind him twisted, and a phantom of a Supreme Emperor, unique and containing supreme Aura, emerged.

The Supreme Emperor synchronized its movements with his main body, as if an ancient War Emperor had descended to quell all turmoil in the world.

"Divine Ability? Is it useful against me?"

"Ridiculous!"

Seeing this, Qin Wushuang's central head let out a mocking shriek, and the momentum of his halberd strike increased instead of decreasing.

Protected by the god-immunity dao fruit, he was confident he could immunize against any Divine Ability attack.

"One force breaks ten thousand Laws!"

Qin Wushang and the Emperor Phantom behind him simultaneously delivered a punch!

"Boom!"

The Emperor's punch and the golden halberd glow collided once more.

The dazzling halberd glow, which seemed capable of Rending the Firmament, instantly disintegrated before the pure, extreme force of the Emperor's punch.

The massive fist landed squarely on the blade of the Golden War Halberd!

"Crack!"

A faint snapping sound rang out.

A clear fissure actually appeared on the blade of the Golden War Halberd!

Immediately, the fissure spread.

"No!"

Qin Wushuang roared, filled with disbelief!

But this was only the beginning.

The terrifying force was not completely offset by the halberd shaft. It instantly bypassed the war halberd and violently slammed into Qin Wushuang's body.

"Rumble!"

The glazed luster on his body shattered instantly, like crystal struck by a heavy hammer, dissolving into scattered motes of light!

That destructive power slammed into the three-headed, six-armed, burly body without reservation!

"Boom!"

Centered on the point of collision, the buildings and streets within a hundred miles of the Dragon City below instantly turned to dust.

Qin Wushuang's Physical Body exploded!

Only a dim and weak Primordial Spirit, protected by a wisp of Holy Light, escaped the disaster and fled rapidly.

"This is impossible!"

"I have the god-immunity dao fruit! I can immunize against Divine Ability and Divine Power! How could you... how could you rely solely on Physical Body strength to... Ahhh! How is this possible!"

His Primordial Spirit was close to collapsing.

He could neither understand nor accept it.

How could a Heavenly God possess such a monstrous Physical Body?

How could a Divine Ability purely augment brute Physical Body strength?

Escape!

He must escape immediately!

Qin Wushuang's Primordial Spirit dared not hesitate any longer. He fiercely burned his Origin and summoned an ancient Talisman meant for saving his life.

Void-Rending Holy Talisman!

"Sizzle!"

The Holy Talisman burned, erupting with intense spatial fluctuations, forcibly tearing open a fissure in the Void Realm that had been sealed by the Dragon City formation.

"Wait for it! Qin Wushang! My Qin Clan will never let you off!"

Qin Wushuang's Primordial Spirit transformed into a stream of light and drilled into the spatial fissure, attempting to flee ten thousand miles away.

However... "Clang!"

Just as his Primordial Spirit was about to touch the fissure, the sound of a sword chime suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling sword light, pure to the extreme, abruptly slashed out from the depths of the Void Realm!

The sword light descended, instantly transforming into a giant Ice Phoenix, crystalline all over, which forcibly tore Qin Wushuang's Primordial Spirit apart.

The world suddenly fell silent for an instant.

Dead!

Qin Wushuang did not escape; he had perished!

Everyone watching this scene held their breath.

Qin Wushang slowly retracted his fist. The boiling Qi and blood around him and the nine Undying Golden Dragon phantoms slowly retreated inward. The Supreme Emperor phantom behind him also quickly dissipated.

He frowned slightly and looked up in the direction the sword light had come from.

In the distant sky, a figure as plain white as snow and unstained by dust was gracefully approaching, stepping through the Void Realm.

The newcomer was Mu Bingyun.

She was still wearing that plain white long dress, the silver-threaded ice crystal patterns on the hem flowing with a cold luster in the light.

Her countenance was extremely beautiful, a beauty untouched by worldly smoke. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains holding ink, her eyes like cold pools reflecting the moon, her nose bridge high and straight, and her lip color a very faint cherry pink.

She was truly like the Guanghan Fairy from the Lunar Palace, someone to be admired from afar but never profaned.

At this moment, she walked through the air with light steps, and her figure flashed, instantly arriving before Qin Wushang.

A pair of clear, ice-blue eyes looked at Qin Wushang calmly, without any ripples, unmoving.

Qin Wushang retracted all his Aura, returning to his usual appearance, and looked with some surprise at the suddenly appearing Mu Bingyun.

Their gazes met, and neither spoke for a long while.

Seeing that he was just staring at her without speaking, Mu Bingyun's ice-blue eyes blinked slightly, and she spoke first.

"Why are you looking at me?"

She tilted her head slightly, seemingly carrying a trace of faint confusion, her tone still flat.

"Could it be... you've fallen for me?"

Qin Wushang: "???"

His expression froze, and he was almost choked by this sudden direct hit.

Why was this woman's thought process as fast and direct as her sword?

Seeing that Qin Wushang didn't answer and only looked at her with a strange gaze, Mu Bingyun continued, "I helped you."

She stated the fact, then looked into Qin Wushang's eyes, seemingly waiting for something.

"..."

Qin Wushang was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you hadn't acted, I could have killed him."

He was speaking the truth. Although Qin Wushuang's Primordial Spirit fled, it wasn't as if he lacked subsequent means to intercept him.

"Oh."

Mu Bingyun nodded, indicating she understood.

Then, she continued to look at him quietly with those clear, ice-blue eyes.

Her gaze was extremely calm and extremely focused.

This made Qin Wushang feel inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he had something on his face.

Qin Wushang felt creeped out by her stare and cleared his throat, trying to change the subject: "Ahem... about that, the Heaven Mending Art, I promised to make a copy for you, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity yet..."

"It's fine, no rush."

Mu Bingyun gently shook her head, interrupting him.

Then, she took a small step forward, closing the distance between them, so close that Qin Wushang could clearly smell the faint, cold fragrance on her body, like a pine forest after snow.

She slightly raised her flawless, beautiful face, her ice-blue eyes reflecting Qin Wushang's slightly startled face.

"Young Master Qin just said that even if I hadn't helped you, you could have killed him."

"I was overly sentimental."

Qin Wushang was stunned. What was she talking about?

What was this woman saying?

Mu Bingyun ignored his reaction and continued with her unique logic: "Therefore, I must compensate you."

"Compensate me?"

Qin Wushang was even more confused. What was there to compensate for?

"Mm."

Mu Bingyun nodded very seriously.

"This will do!"

Then, before Qin Wushang could react at all, she suddenly stood on her tiptoes.

That cold and exquisite face rapidly magnified before Qin Wushang's eyes.

Immediately afterward, two slightly cool and soft, pale pink lips precisely pressed onto Qin Wushang's mouth, which was slightly ajar due to his shock.

It wasn't a brief peck.

She even clumsily tapped Qin Wushang's lower lip with her pearly teeth, then attempted to proceed further.

A forceful kiss.

Then she released his lips and whispered, "Kiss... me."
