Chapter 149 Mu Qinglian Kills
Not after long they noticed the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, Long Ming devised a plan to hunt it.
Liu Jiang's physique gives him a powerful defensive ability while Mu Qinglian is powerful in general. With an Illusion Trap Formation and poison of the Three Flower Serpent, Long Ming believed that he could hunt the demonic ape.
The ten petal Bloodcloud Hibiscus is an absolutely rare medicinal herb. It can induce enlightenment in Harmonization Realm cultivators, making them jump to the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm.
The Yellow Horn Demonic Ape was the king of that area, so there wasn't any beast near his den. He also managed to hide the Bloodcloud Hibiscus. However, With Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he managed to notice it.
What's more, It can be also used by the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator to refine their qi and soul.
Not to mention, the Yellow Horned Dark Ape itself is a walking trove of treasure, a dangerous walking trove of treasure. Its demonic core, true blood essence, its pair of horns, its flesh and tail, everything can be used to create powerful treasures and medicinal pills.
Long Ming's plan worked in the end. Although the Illusion Trap Formation didn't last long before the might of Yellow Horned Dark Ape, it gave enough time for Mu Qinglian to attack and wound the ape.
What's more, with Liu Jiang as a shield, Long Ming used the poison in the wounds of the ape, making it sluggish.
However, Long Ming's plan didn't end as he planned.
As they were kiting the Yellow Horned Demonic Ape, Long Ming felt a wave of malicious aura from behind.
Without wasting any time, his sword moved as his sword intent exploded out.
He saw a group of people attacking them from behind. Although they looked like rouge cultivators, Long Ming felt it was definitely arranged by someone.
However, Long Ming didn't back down as he used his sword technique to push them back. After all, As long as Mu Qinglian comes back, she could slaughter them all.
But then, Long Ming's eyes shrunk violently when he saw a streak of ink painting across the sky. The ink turned into an arrow and shot at the Yellow Horned Demonic Ape, who was on its last legs.
Mu Qinglian sensed the powerful attack and dodged it. The arrow pierced the body of the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, exploding its organs with an inky light.
Then, a giant palm materialized in the sky, a plam comprised of ink. The palm swiftly took the Bloodcloud Hibiscuss and retreated.
Long Ming clenched his fist in anger as he looked at the rogue cultivators who were distracting them from behind. Killing intent flickered around him as he felt he could kill them right here.
However, he felt more anger toward the real mastermind as he recognized the ink painting across the sky.
" Fourth Prince Qin Chen, you are really taking things too far."
Long Ming turned around his head, his Heavenly Revelation Eyes made his azure eyes even colder and mysterious.
Mu Qinglian was also shocked, and her shock slowly turned into anger as well. After all, the Yellow Horned Dark Ape was simply too powerful. Its fist was enough to shatter the mountain and agility that can evade many attacks.
Yet, Mu Qinglian with her suppressed strength, almost managed to hunt it. But, Thanks to the Fourth Prince's meddling, they lost both of the things.
" Well? Although you guys were fighting against the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, the Bloodcloud Hibiscus was still without any owner, right?" A young man walked out, holding the same scroll held by Qin Chen.
" You… Aren't you Fourth Prince's subordinate?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " We defeated that demonic beast with all our strength. So, Hand over that demonic core and the Bloodcloud Hibiscuss."
" Why should I?" Cheng Guozi snorted. " Besides, the beast died from my arrow. So, both things should belong to me."
" Hey… I thought you were Qin Chen. But I guess you are someone who is carrying his treasure, huh?"
Long Ming looked at Cheng Guozi as he took some deep breaths. " Well, I wonder if I kill you, will Qin Chen step to block us?"
" Haha, such absurd claims. You think you can defeat me?" Cheng Guozi snorted as he patted the scroll in his hand. " This item was a painting left behind by an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator. You think you can defeat this item?"
" Well, I can."
Mu Qinglian's voice was cold as he walked out. She pulled out a sword that shone with a frigid radiance. Icy blue lights danced around it and one could feel the cold wind even in the middle of the day.
" Is that…An innate type Royal grade weapon? What's with that tremendous resonance?"
" Damn it! Just looking at it gives me chills!"
" Such a powerful Royal grade weapon. Can Saintess Mu bring forth its true power?"
Cheng Guozhi's smile vanished when he saw Mu QInglian pull out a Royal grade weapon. In terms of quality, the power of the Royal grade weapon was on par with the scroll he was holding.
However, with skilled usage and resonance, Mu Qinglian might be able to break through the power of the ink painting.
" This is one of the Heavenly Emperor Winter Song's personal sword, the Frozen Flower. So, unless you want your body to turn into a block of ice and shatter, hand over those things." Mu Qinglian pointed the sword at Cheng Guozhi.
" Yo-You! Hmph, Let's see how powerful the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley is!"
Cheng Guozhi knew that Mu Qinglian was supposed to be a cultivator of the Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. Although Cheng Guozhi couldn't utilize the scroll as Qin Chen could, he just wanted to create an artificial conflict after all.
Long Ming rubbed his face as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Sister Mu, No need to hesitate. I guess people just want to die a horrible death."
Mu Qinglian raised her sword as a cold wave of wind burst from it. The frozen blue light shone as it turned into a gigantic sword made of ice.
" Desolate Winter Sword Art! Desolate Winter Wave!"
The gigantic sword moved, making the air freeze with its power. It was like the arrival of winter, the entire area covered with frozen energy and snow.
Cheng Guozhi shivered as he was horrified by Mu Qinglian's power.
Although Royal grade and Imperial Grade weapons were considered as top class weapons, not everyone could wield them, or take out their entire power.
There are many restrictions on using high grade weapons, like bloodline restriction, cultivation requirements, or comprehension talent.
Not to mention, without enough qi in the divine sea or enough physical power, a single slash of one of those weapons can simply wring someone dry. And such a case could only bring death in a fight.
For example, A Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator can only bring forth 30% power of a Royal grade weapon. However, it can be increased if the cultivator is talented or connected with that weapon with bloodline or soul.
In Mu Qinglian's case, it was like she was using more than 60% of the power of the Royal grade weapon, almost making her powerful as a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.
In Cheng Guozhi's case, he couldn't use the treasure painting scroll for long since he wasn't Qin Chen. So, he was looking around, waiting for the arrival of Qin Chen.
However, seeing Mu Qinglian's attack, He opened the scroll again as the painting shone with radiance. Strokes of ink brush appeared in the air, turning into a general holding a gigantic halberd.
Mu Qinglian snorted as she didn't care about it. The Frozen Flower Sword shone with radiance as Mu Qinglian was covered with an icy aura. The gigantic sword slashed forward as the gust of cold wind turned into many freezing wind blades, slashing at Cheng Guozhi.
The ink figure raised its halberd, spinning it to block the attack of Mu Qinglian. However, the frozen blades of wind were too solid to get broken like that.
" Damn it! She comprehended the Intent of Ice! It's already reached a high level!"
" Desolate Winter Second Form! Endless Frozen Desert!"
*BOOM BOOM*
Long Ming was surprised when Mu Qinglian unleashed the true power of Frozen Winter Sword. She wasn't even using her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body, yet her power already reached this level.
' Xia Yuqing was really hiding Mu Qinglian pretty well, huh? At this rate, she would be undoubtedly one of the top cultivators in the young generation, if not the strongest.'
The second form of Desolate Winter Sword Art filled entire are with frozen sword qi. The sword qi turned into a vast field of snow and came crashing at Cheng Guozhi like an avalanche.
" Damn it! Hurry and block!"
Cheng Guozhi was horrified when he saw Mu Qinglian could compete with the power of the scroll.? Suddenly, the snowy filled covered the ink figure as the ink started to crystalize.
Cracks appeared on the inky figure as its movement became sluggish. With Mu Qinglian's continuous slashes, she broke apart that figure.
" Halt!"
Long Ming turned around and saw Qin Chen and his group rushing at them.
Cheng Guozhi was elated when he saw Qin Chen was about to arrive. Yet, he saw a blue colored icy sword appear before him as it stabbed into his heart.
The power of Mu Qinglian's move was tremendous. Some other cultivators who were also the henchmen of Cheng Guozhi got killed by the power.
Long Ming blinked as he pulled out the spatial ring of Cheng Guozhi, retrieving the Bloodcloud Hibiscus and the demonic core of Twin Horn Dark Ape.
" Damn it! How dare you to kill my men!"
Qin Chen's face was dark as he stood before the corpse of Cheng Guozhi. Mu Qinglian's face was expressionless as she flicked the bloodstains from the Frozen Flower.
Soon, the atmosphere became tense as both parties glared at each other.
