Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C126 Close at Hand Far in the Sky
At the very least, the Hun Tian Bead had already swallowed half of the spirit energy within Qing He’s body. As long as she could endure for a bit longer, and once all the spirit energy in Qing He’s body was completely devoured, then even if he was an expert in Golden Core Stage, he would still only be an eagle with broken wings!
Qing He obviously knew this as well. Almost at the same moment Gu Qing executed the Wind Chasing Secret Art and was about to stall for time, he launched her strongest killing move.
A burst of Astral Wind s suddenly swept across the ground, the cold wind was bone-piercing, it swept away the pain on Gu Qing’s face, but she was too busy to care about any of this, she stared fixedly at the area in front of her that was slowly forming into a small storm.
The sandstorm swirled in the air, forming a huge whirlpool. It seemed as if something was trying to break out of it. Gu Qing’s heart felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock. It was heavy, and even the movements of her hands and feet were slowed down by the pressure.
She tried to struggle free from the formless pressure and restraints on her body, but they were all in vain. When the sweat on her forehead was rolling down non-stop, she could faintly see a black shadow in the center of the whirlpool formed by the Astral Wind.
“Gu Qing, today is the day you die. I will make your soul disappear from the six paths and never reincarnate!”
This was undoubtedly the cruelest punishment. When a cultivator reaches a certain realm, even if they leave behind a remnant of their soul, they can still come back to life. However, if the soul disappeared into the six Daos, then it would truly disappear from this world.
Gu Qing’s skin trembled because of the Astral Wind’s scrape, and even her teeth started to trip uncontrollably. Ignoring Qing He’s clamor, she secretly circulated her spirit energy and used the Seven Deaths of Soul.
Right at the moment when the black figure within the Astral Wind was about to charge out, Qing He’s eyes dimmed once more as he fell for Gu Qing’s trick.
The first move of the Seven Deaths of Soul could only make Qing He feel dizzy for two breaths, but Gu Qing didn’t dare to tarry at all. With the support of the Wind Pursuing Art, Gu Qing appeared in front of Qing He in the blink of an eye. The gray palm print formed in her hand struck the other party’s chest.
When she saw the gray palm print fall into his body, she finally felt relieved. This was the third time she had used the Withered Handprint, and she had finally succeeded once.
Just as she was about to succeed and retreat, Qing He who was holding onto the Withered Handprint suddenly roared out, and at the same time chopped out a palm that glowed with green light onto Gu Qing’s shoulder.
Gu Qing’s body was sent flying. The sharp pain made her consciousness suddenly turn chaotic, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
As for Qing He, she was curled up into a ball, her veins were trembling as she rolled on the ground.
After half an incense worth of time, Gu Qing slowly opened her eyes. The sharp pain in her body had already lessened. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up straight. However, she underestimated her injuries and let out a “hmph” of pain.
However, her gaze was locked onto Qing He, who was wriggling in front of her.
The Hun Tian Bead greedily devoured the spiritual energy in the other party’s body. At this moment, there was only a pitiful strand of energy left in the other party’s body. Gu Qing was finally relieved. If not for the Hun Tian Bead in her possession today, even if she had ten lives, it would not be enough to kill Qing He.
She used her arm to prop herself up and slowly stood up, enduring the pain from her internal organs. She used her hand to wipe off the blood at the corner of her mouth as she walked awkwardly towards Qing He.
She stared in Qing He’s direction, as a cold light flashed in her eyes. This time around, she had to kill Qing He!
The distance between the two got closer and closer. Only 10% of the spirit energy in Gu Qing’s body was left at its peak, and not even the spirit energy needed to activate the Luoshen’s Whip was enough.
Qing He was in so much pain that every bone and meridian in his body trembled. His mind was in chaos as he vaguely heard some sounds. He forced himself to wake up and open his eyes.
He curled up on the ground in a sorry state, and breathed less and more in pain. However, he still breathed heavily and said to Gu Qing, “Since we are from the same sect, please let me go, I will definitely not cause you any more trouble in the future.”
Gu Qing’s hair was a mess mixed with sweat, stuck close to her face, but it did not affect her in the slightest. She laughed coldly and looked down at Jindan Stage expert Qing He from above.
Qing He was shocked by the cold glint of light in her eyes. At this moment, he was certain that Gu Qing had to kill her no matter what, since begging would have no effect.
“Wait!” “You can’t kill me!” When he saw the grey palm on Gu Qing’s hand, he shouted out loud in fear, “You can’t kill me, Master Changhua knows that I’m nearby, if you kill me, you will attract his attention. You can defeat me, but you definitely can’t defeat Master Changhua, so I advise you to think carefully!”
Gu Qing had already swallowed a medicinal pellet that could restore spirit energy, so she was not in a rush either. The gray palm print in her hand floated in front of Qing He, as if it was going to land on his body anytime soon.
“I thought about it very clearly,” Gu Qing said in a very calm tone.
It was not wise for him to offend the entire Huaqing Palace all by himself while being chased and killed by the Huaqing Palace, so he endured the pain in his body while gritting his teeth: “It’s good that you understand, quickly feed me a healing pellet.”
Right after he finished speaking, Gu Qing began to laugh lightly, “Qing Hee Immortal, I think you have misunderstood me. I think it is very clear … Today will be the day you die! ” As she finished speaking, the smile on Gu Qing’s face had already completely disappeared, and was replaced with a somber and murderous look.
At the same time, the gray palm print in her hands had already fallen into Qing He’s body.
Qing He opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something. However, when the second gray palm print landed on his chest, his entire face fiercely twisted, and his entire body trembled with an extremely high frequency.
As Gu Qing watched Qing He’s face slowly turn black and her eyes freeze, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, Qing He’s body suddenly exploded.
Gu Qing never thought that Qing He would choose to explode his body to harm her before she died. She was too poor and did not have the protection of a Spiritual Treasure.
She was sent flying by the force of Qing He’s explosion. She landed on the ground with a thud. This time around, she did not feel any pain. She lay on the ground and tried to move her hands and feet, but they did not obey her.
She could only lie motionless on the ground. He thought to himself, “I’m still too weak, to think that I would be seriously injured in order to kill Qing He!”
The desire to become stronger in his heart grew stronger.
“Senior Brother Yuan Lang, have you seen Senior Sister Zi Jin?” Liu Ying didn’t need to fight, she had been wandering outside the past few days, and only heard that Gu Qing could get a placing after winning once again. She immediately came to congratulate him, but she did not expect him to not be in her cave.
“Zi Jin is not back?” Yuan Lang was a cultivation madman, and other than the competition, he would usually go into closed door cultivation.
“Come back?” Where did she go? ” Liu Ying asked.
“I just came with her, and then I let her come back alone.” Saying this, Yuan Lang smacked his head in frustration, “This is a wasteland, no! I have to find her. ”
When Yun Tian heard what Yuan Lang and his sister said, a glint flashed across his eyes.
“Senior Brother, I’ll go with you!” Liu Ying said, and chased after Yuan Lang.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Lang and Liu Ying had disappeared, and their destination was actually the town. Yun Tian slowly turned around. He was still worried after all. He flew up and approached the familiar aura.
Actually, from the very first moment he saw her, Yun Tian already knew that the Xuanhua Sect disciple who disguised herself as Zi Jin was Gu Qing. The last time Gu Qing escaped the marriage and stayed out of the city for nearly two years, he had placed something on her body when he went back.
Just when Liu Ying had said that Gu Qing was not here, Yun Tian released her Bee of Knowledge. The direction that they were heading in was the exact opposite direction that Yuan Lang and Liu Ying were heading in.
Yun Tian followed behind the pathfinder bee. Suddenly, the pathfinder bee stirred and quickly turned around to fly towards him.
His expression changed slightly. Even though the Lurker Bee was a low level Spiritual Beast and did not have high intelligence, it had an instinctive reaction to any life-threatening danger.
The moment he saw the path he had taken, he was like a ray of light as he swiftly landed in front of him.
However, he was still a step too late. When he heard the sound of a huge spiritual pressure being released, his face instantly paled and his body swayed, almost falling from the sky.
As the bloody mist dissipated, a layer of mist covered his eyes, but he did not dare to look down.
At this moment, a light snort came from below. Yun Tian immediately turned his head to look at the heavily injured figure below.
The corner of his lips relaxed as he stared at the shadow on the ground with a complicated expression on his face.
Perhaps it was because she had felt his presence that Gu Qing, whose hair was dishevelled on the ground, raised her head. The moment she saw Yun Tian, her face was also filled with complex emotions.
Yun Tian saw that although her injuries were not light, her life was not in danger. He squinted his eyes and restrained the emotions on his face, forcing himself to stay away from her.
After the two of them looked at each other for a few breaths of time, Gu Qing twitched her mouth and wanted to ask for help, but she was afraid that if she went near him, she would make her heart fall again, so she kept quiet.
Yun Tian only stopped for a short moment before turning around and flying off under Gu Qing’s gaze.
Gu Qing raised her head and watched the white figure disappear into the distance. She laughed at herself. At that moment, she thought that Yun Tian had specially come to save her, but he was such a cold person, how could he interfere in other people’s affairs? Besides, she’s disguised now.
When she thought of this, her expression suddenly changed. Looking in the direction of the Qing Hee Immortal, she couldn’t help but feel some lingering fear, thanks to the fact that Qing He had just died. Otherwise, if Yun Tian saw that she had killed the Qing Hee Immortal of the Huaqing Palace, no matter how cold he was, he would have no choice but to use his own hands to ask for an explanation on behalf of his disciples.
