Chapter 94 Undercurrents and Murderous Intentions

“Hmm!?”

Li Fuzhou's pupils sharply contracted when he saw this.

Green Mountain Palm Print!

Liu Qingshan met him with a palm.

The moment their palms collided, the entire Sanmiao Mountain seemed to pause.

“Bang bang bang bang!”

A terrifying sound reverberated, the Heaven and Earth became Void Gazer, and astonishing Qi waves spread out like a tide to both sides.

“Heaven Flower Realm!?”

Tian Can Sou looked at Liu Qingshan in astonishment.

“Liu Qingshan actually reached the Heaven Flower Realm?”

Ling Yuhua also frowned deeply.

“He’s been hiding his true strength, the old fox.” Li Yue watched Liu Qingshan with interest.

According to all intelligence, Liu Qingshan had always been at the Peak Earth Flower Realm, and had remained in this Realm for several years. The Wind and Rain Pavilion’s intelligence was not bad.

It turned out that all of this was a facade; Liu Qingshan’s Cultivation had long since reached the Heaven Flower Realm, but he kept it a secret.

“His injuries…”

An Jing’s brows furrowed as he saw this. The matter was definitely not as simple as Liu Qingshan hiding his strength.

Liu Qingshan was injured, and his injuries were very serious. His strength must be related to these injuries; otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to keep him in the Reincarnation Hall that day.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Fuzhou smiled, “Your Excellency, it’s not without reason that you are so highly regarded.”

“Sect Leader Li, you’re too… cough cough cough…”

Before Liu Qingshan could finish his sentence, he started coughing violently. “Today’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, I, Liu, will take it.”

With that, Liu Qingshan’s Internal Energy surged forth, directly confronting Li Fuzhou.

With two top experts battling, the other people naturally couldn't stand idly by and all rushed towards the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Ling Yuhua and Li Yue were the fastest to rush forward.

Just as they were about to get close, a blade light, like a bolt of silk, instantly blocked them.

Wherever the blade light reached, mountains and rivers shook.

It was the Swordsman beside Li Fuzhou. “This path is blocked!”

Ling Yuhua whispered, “Gu Renwo, the Demonic Cult Human Sect’s top expert Gu Renwo. Besides Li Fuzhou, he is the Human Sect’s second-best expert, and his blade techniques are extraordinary. You need to be careful.”

“Who cares who he is, just kill him.”

Li Yue’s brows furrowed, and a Sword Qi shot out to meet him.

“Clang!”

Blade and sword clashed, Qi energy burst forth, and the surrounding trees and side halls shattered one after another.

“Fourth Realm!?”

After exchanging one move, both were shocked.

Compared to Li Yue’s surprise, Gu Renwo was even more incredulous, as he could clearly feel that the other party was not very young.

Not only was her swordplay excellent, but her strength was also so profound.

Li Yue’s surprise was fleeting. After all, he was the Human Sect’s second-best expert, so reaching the Fourth Realm was normal. She twisted the long sword in her hand, making the Heaven and Earth turn icy cold, and a bloody light seemed to surge out from the blade.

“So it’s the Blood Spirit Sword!”

Gu Renwo realized this when he saw it.

If there was one assassin in the Wind and Rain Pavilion who had been making waves in the past five years, it was undoubtedly the Blood Spirit Sword.

Rumor has it that this person Cultivates the lost Blood Spirit Art, and his Cultivation is unfathomable, having reached the First Rank Realm before the age of thirty.

To reach the First Rank Realm at thirty, if it weren't for Cultivating the Blood Spirit Art, it wouldn't be impossible to aspire to the Grandmaster Realm in the future.

But unfortunately, he Cultivates the Blood Spirit Art. No one in the world is unaware of the side effects of this martial arts Mind-Cultivation Technique; the deeper the Cultivation, the faster one dies.

The two’s blade and sword clashed, full of peril, making people tremble with fear, as a slight mistake could lead to death and the end of their Dao.

An Jing still wanted to fish in troubled waters, but just as he lifted his foot, a figure rushed over and struck his Heavenly Spirit with a palm.

Soul-Reaping Hand Tian Liu!

Last time in the Reincarnation Hall, he stood behind Liu Qingshan and did not fight An Jing.

An Jing’s brows furrowed, and he thrust his sword forward.

“Whoosh!”

The Sword Qi turned cold, and the surrounding vital energy scattered.

“Hmm!?”

Soul-Reaping Hand Tian Liu’s expression turned slightly cold, and he retreated backward step by step.

Seeing him retreat, An Jing naturally wouldn't give him a chance to catch his breath. He twisted the long sword in his hand, like a Dragon snake dancing wildly.

Nine Character Sword Secret! Jie Character Secret!

The Soul-Reaping Hand was the unique palm technique of the Soul-Reaping Old Man of the Nine Kingdoms back then, famous throughout the world. After Tian Liu obtained this palm technique, he dedicated himself to Cultivating it, and had long since Cultivated it to the eighth layer.

Soul-Reaping Hand! Indeterminate Style!

He stomped his foot on the ground, stopping his retreat, and then a palm strike covered him.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, countless strong winds rose up, as if the wailing of ghosts could be heard.

Compared to the Green Mountain Palm Print, the Soul-Reaping Hand was not as fierce and overbearing, but rather eerie and chilling, and could even disturb one's mind.

An Jing only felt a chill all over his body, and his ears were filled with that eerie sound. He immediately calmed his mind and continued to thrust his sword forward.

This sword pierced through the palm print, but did not hit Tian Liu. It turned out that after striking with a palm, he had already flown to the distant rubble.

“Buzz buzz!” “Buzz buzz!”

An Jing’s sword hummed with a clear sound, and he directly unleashed the Soaring Nine Heavens Movement Technique, rushing rapidly towards Tian Liu.

“What a powerful Swordsman!”

Tian Liu’s brows furrowed, a chill ran through his heart, and the Human Flower floated behind him.

Both hands struck out, Internal Energy surging like a tide.

Soul-Reaping Hand! Fierce Spirit Soul Emergence!

Whoosh!

The Qi in the air began to change dramatically, gradually condensing, as if forming a ghost face.

Crack crack crack crack crack crack!

The ghost face was extremely ferocious, terrifying and cruel, emitting a series of sharp, piercing sounds.

An Jing’s heart stirred, and he stomped his foot, avoiding this palm print.

“Thump!”

The huge ghost face slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the ground to tremble. Upon closer inspection, a ghost face had clearly appeared on the ground.

An Jing now realized that none of the experts who had reached the First Rank Realm were undeserving of their reputation. This Soul-Reaping Hand Tian Liu, not only had a Cultivation identical to his own, but his Soul-Reaping Hand was also extremely well-Cultivated.

He had gained some advantage, but it would be difficult to kill him in a short period of time.

In front of the Vairocana Hall, a chaotic battle had formed. Several top experts present were restraining each other, none wanting the other to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi first.

The Qi energy vibrated, and Sanmiao Mountain was a kaleidoscope of light and shadow, the earth trembling.

In the distance, on the Bright Moon Pavilion.

“It’s really intense.” Xi Jikui rubbed his fingers, smiling faintly, “Li Fuzhou, Zhang Zhixing, Liu Qingshan, Peerless Swordsman, Ling Yuhua, Blood Spirit Sword, Gu Renwo, Tian Liu, Guo Yuchun…”

“So many experts gathered, it’s truly rare.” Zhang Shuang sighed.

In the Great Yan Jianghu, it had been countless years since so many First Rank experts had gathered.

“This Liu Qingshan…” Gan Yue’s brows raised slightly.

As a Great Tiangang, Gan Yue had naturally heard about the imperial court. This Liu Qingshan seemed to be a crucial chess piece for a certain important figure.

Xi Jikui said faintly, “There is an order from above: all those who attempt to profit this time shall be killed, to serve as a warning.”

Upon hearing this, Gan Yue stopped speaking.

The so-called 'above' was unknown, but if anything truly happened, Xi Jikui would bear the responsibility, not him.

A cold glint appeared in Xi Jikui’s eyes. “Once they are both severely injured, we will make our move. The first ones I want to capture are Li Fuzhou and Gu Renwo.”

Capturing Li Fuzhou and Gu Renwo would be equivalent to dismantling a large part of the Human Sect’s strength, undoubtedly piercing the Demonic Cult’s eyes.

Especially killing Li Fuzhou would severely wound the Demonic Cult’s Origin Qi.

The Demonic Cult seemed not to have suffered such a heavy blow in many years.

Thinking of this, Xi Jikui’s heart was filled with fervor.
