Chapter 17 Spiritual Power Overwhelms True Qi!
"court death!"
Qin Lie's facial muscles contorted, his anger surging to his head.
His bushy beard bristled with rage!
He relied on his military strength and the bravery of his soldiers and generals.
I have never been so scorned.
Especially since it comes from a woman!
"Guards, seize this reckless woman! Tear her to pieces!"
Qin Lie roared again, the sound waves rolling!
The words had barely left his mouth!
Three figures immediately flew out from the cavalry formation behind them!
The three men, like three arrows released from a bow, exuding a sharp killing intent, landed in front of Luo Qingluan and stood in a triangular formation.
The man on the left is nine feet tall and as strong as a bear.
He was wearing a heavy suit of black iron armor.
A hideous scar ran down his face from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth.
He held a pair of enormous octagonal bronze hammers, the hammerheads larger than the heads of adult men.
With each swing, a dull whistling sound was produced.
He is an eighth-level martial artist!
The person on the right is lean and agile, moving like a monkey.
He was dressed in dark green leather armor and had a sinister look in his eyes.
He held a slender, curved knife in each hand, the blades gleaming with a ghostly blue light and coated with deadly poison.
He is also an eighth-level martial artist!
The man in the center was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a gray cloth robe, and with a withered face.
He held no weapon, his hands hanging naturally at his sides.
But his aura was as solid and powerful as a mountain.
He was none other than a ninth-level martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts!
Just standing there gives people an invisible sense of oppression!
These three were among the best martial artists under Qin Lie's command.
When combined, they offer both offense and defense, making them incredibly powerful!
Qin Lie looked at his three capable generals, his anger subsiding slightly. He then gave Luo Qingluan a disdainful snort: "You wretched woman, so what if you managed to break through to the ninth rank? Facing the combined attack of three of my generals, today is your death day!"
"call!"
Facing three formidable enemies and feeling the chilling killing intent emanating from them, Luo Qingluan tightened her grip on the sword hilt.
The words Qin Xiao had spoken half an incense stick ago flashed through his mind: "I have just formed my Golden Core and need time to stabilize my cultivation. I'll leave the outside world to you for now!"
"We can't let him down..."
"Even if it costs me my life, I will buy myself enough time!"
Luo Qingluan's lips parted and she murmured silently.
But facing the enemy before him, he truly lacked confidence.
After all, the other side has two eighth-level martial artists.
There was also an old man of unfathomable strength at the ninth level!
Although he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
But the timeframe is still short.
They lack a clear understanding of their own capabilities...
However, the enemy will not give Luo Qingluan time.
"Go to hell!"
"Give me your life!"
Suddenly, two shouts rang out!
The burly, bear-like generals and the lean, skilled martial artists launched their attack together.
The battle is imminent!
The lean martial artist was the first to approach Luo Qingluan.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of dark blue arcs of light flashed from the twin swords in his hands.
Its speed was so fast that Qin Lie's soldiers gasped in astonishment!
"Wow, that's fast!"
"Ouch, this woman's going to be chopped into mincemeat!"
The soldiers discussed it loudly.
The old man in the gray robe also looked surprised.
This guy is only half a step away from the ninth rank?
The knife skills are fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Such a sudden attack is something even I, an old man, would find difficult to withstand!
However, what they didn't know was that the lean martial artist's pride in his speed was like slow motion in Luo Qingluan's eyes...
As the blade drew near, Luo Qingluan made her move slowly and deliberately.
It may seem slow, but it is exquisitely wonderful!
In an instant, a sliver of light appeared amidst the swirling blades.
The sword in his hand struck first, and with a soft "ding," it touched the spine of the curved blade in the lean warrior's left hand!
"Um?"
The lean martial artist felt an immense force flowing through the blade.
My entire arm felt numb.
The next moment, the arm armor burst open inch by inch.
The muscles and skin twisted and contorted like a pretzel.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the scene was too gruesome to bear!
Before he could even scream, he staggered and flew away with the knife in his hand!
At the same time!
The burly, bear-like warrior roared and leaped up, wielding a massive bronze hammer, which he brought down on Luo Qingluan's head!
The wind howled fiercely, its force heavy and powerful!
Luo Qingluan glanced at it, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and floated backward.
At the same time, he twirled his wrist, the tip of the sword pulsating with spiritual energy, and struck the giant hammer!
"Ding!"
A crisp sound, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves.
The bear-bodied warrior was also severely injured, his body flying backwards like a kite with a broken string!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Qingluan effortlessly deflected the combined attack of two eighth-level martial artists.
He was completely unharmed.
Even his breathing remained perfectly normal!
boom!
boom!
Suddenly, two muffled thuds were heard.
Two soldiers, one strong and one thin, fell to the ground one after the other.
Qin Lie was speechless.
Behind him, Xu Guofu and his soldiers looked as if they had seen a ghost!
Even Luo Qingluan herself was slightly startled.
This is the power of cultivators!
Spiritual power moves at will, acts freely, and is as easy as an extension of one's own arm.
True Qi far surpasses the ability to defeat enemies by force!
Whether it's perception, speed, strength...
These are far beyond what a martial arts master can compare to!
Currently, it's only at the third level of Qi Refining.
After Qi Refining comes Foundation Building.
Only after Foundation Establishment can one proceed to Core Formation.
It's hard to imagine how strong a Foundation Establishment cultivator must be.
And what terrifying level of strength has Qin Xiao, who has successfully formed his core, reached?!
Just as Luo Qingluan's mind raced, awestruck by the profound power of cultivation...
The old man, a ninth-level martial artist who had been observing intently, suddenly flashed a terrifying light in his eyes!
He could tell that Luo Qingluan's aura was different; it was definitely not true qi.
But what exactly it is, is unclear.
But one thing is certain: we absolutely cannot wait any longer.
We must strike first!
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes hardened, and his withered body suddenly tensed.
The powerful ninth-order true energy within his body was about to be unleashed!
He did not approach.
Instead, he struck out with a powerful palm strike from a distance!
"boom!"
A palm print of extremely condensed true energy, the size of a millstone, roared out!
The force of the palm strike was astonishing!
Wherever it passed, the bluestone slabs on the ground cracked inch by inch and were all blown away!
This palm strike embodies all the power he has accumulated throughout his life!
Confidence is the foundation of being a ninth-rank martial artist.
I would never dare to take it head-on!
However, Luo Qingluan felt no fear in the face of this earth-shattering palm strike.
Instead, the idea of experimenting arose in my mind.
She wanted to see which was stronger, her current protective spiritual power or the peak true energy of this mortal martial artist!
Of course, it's not about accepting it arbitrarily.
First, he held his sword horizontally in front of him with his right hand as a guard.
Immediately, he quietly made a hand seal behind his back with his left hand.
In an instant, a thin, gauze-like halo of gold and blue light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, enveloped his entire body!
In the blink of an eye, the violent palm print of true energy arrived with a thunderous roar!
The palm print struck the protective aura.
There was no roar, no explosion.
The powerful palm strike, capable of splitting monuments and shattering city walls, disintegrated and dissipated rapidly the moment it touched the protective aura, like exhaled smoke!
In the blink of an eye, it was completely annihilated in front of Luo Qingluan, without even lifting a corner of her clothes!
Only the cracks spreading across the ground testified to the terrifying power of that attack.
"No, impossible!!!"
Upon seeing this, the ninth-rank elder was struck dumb and staggered back several steps.
His withered old face was filled with horror!
The ultimate true energy cultivated through a lifetime of arduous practice, upon which one can roam freely.
In fact, they couldn't even break through the opponent's protective true energy?
