Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5573: Let Him Go
It wasn’t cruelty but a display of utmost respect!
….
It was also because he didn’t want to witness Hu Qing’s life-and-death struggle. He aimed to swiftly resolve the battle; as long as he subdued Hu Qing, he could directly take Jiang Shang away.
“The Dragon-Sealing Spear, the peerless divine weapon dominating the Qishen Temple. I’m pleased you can witness it,” said Long Yi, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Countless epochs had passed without him truly making a move. At this moment, his strength soared to 70 percent.
Hu Qing remained silent, standing firmly by Long Yi’s side without a hint of wavering.
Above the ruins, under a gloomy sky, two superpowerful beings clashed.
The aura in this place had long shaken the entire Human Secret Realm. Although the Human Secret Realm had the least presence among the Four Great Secret Realms, there were still several supreme-peak experts present. At this moment, they all stood on the edge of the ruins, observing the ultimate battle in this corner of the world.
Even though they couldn’t engage in the fight directly, simply feeling the two powerful auras made them exhilarated.
The indigenous supreme-peak experts were eager but none dared to approach.
At that level of combat, they didn’t have the qualifications to watch up close.
“Sect Master, do you know the identity of the other party?” A supreme-peak expert, holding a folding fan, looked towards a middle-aged man with a white crown.
Curiosity welled up within them. Where did these powerful beings come from?
The strongest among the Four Great Secret Realms was the God’s Tomb, and the Human Realm was the closest to it. They had descended into it before and encountered many powerful and Special Life Forms, but none gave them the same feeling as the two powerful beings deep within the ruins.
The middle-aged man, known as the Sect Master, was the leader of the most powerful force in the Human Realm, ‘Sealgate Mountain’. He was also one of the oldest supreme-peak beings in the Human Realm, with high status and extensive knowledge.
The Sect Master shook his head. This time, he truly didn’t know the background of the other party. The auras of those two were peculiar, most likely inheritors rather than experts from the Four Great Secret Realms.
He had been fortunate enough to encounter such a formidable aura once before. It was when that powerful being, who broke through the Tribulation, descended. The aura had made the entire Human Secret Realm tremble.
After that, the mysterious powerful being had never appeared again!
“Take a good look, savor the taste of a battle at this level; it might be the most intense showdown we witness in this lifetime!” The master of the Sealedgate gaze was intense. Although only two auras were discernible in the battle, with the combatants nearly invisible, being able to sense those two forces constantly colliding was enough.
A group of people stood outside the ruins, silently watching!
Inside the ruins, a storm had already formed!
The center of the storm was Hu Qing and Long Yi.
After the divine body, the strength surged, but Long Yi’s strength also rose to 70 percent, still very challenging. Adding the power of the burning divine body’s transformation, it was unstable, and now the divine body had begun to fall apart.
In addition to the divine body, there was the Origin Source.
In a desperate struggle, Hu Qing, without hesitation, burned even the Origin Source, causing a change in Long Yi’s expression.
No matter how much the divine body burned, even if it damaged the foundation, it could be repaired, but the Origin Source was different. Once a defect occurred, it could not be restored.
Even Jian Wushuang, with the Life power, could not repair the Origin Source of the indigenous Emperor.
Long Yi, who valued talents, couldn’t bear to see Hu Qing cut off the path of the strong. He immediately erupted, unleashing all his strength.
With a sweep of the Dragon-Sealing Spear, he directly split Hu Qing, who was burning the divine body, in half.
Then, with a clenched fist, he roared, “Seal!”
Buzz!
Hu Qing, who was ready to fight desperately, suddenly felt his entire being become light, and his consciousness blurred. It felt like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Hu Qing couldn’t withstand the terror of Long Yi’s methods.
Swish!
The figures of the two appeared, Long Yi was intact as ever, only his aura stronger, possessing complete combat power, making the entire realm quiver.
As for Hu Qing, he was left with a shattered body, the divine body completely shattered, leaving nothing behind. The Origin Source, however, remained relatively intact.
But his own consciousness had already fallen into a deep sleep, a consequence of being severely injured.
Once the Origin Source dropped to 30 percent, it would automatically enter a state of slumber.
Hiding beneath the willow tree, Jiang Shang noticed the absence of her master’s aura. Her eyes turned crimson, and despite the expected sorrow and despair, not a single tear fell.
She stood there quietly, staring at the two floating body fragments in the air.
Gently clenching her fist, a green light emanated from her body. If Jian Wushuang saw this, he would undoubtedly be astonished!
The power of Life!
At that moment, an immense Life power surged within Jiang Shang.
Inside her Origin Source, the Spirit of Grass and Wood weakly raised its paw and said, “Master, I’m so tired!”
With all its strength, the Spirit of Grass and Wood elevated Jiang Shang’s Origin Source to its peak.
Within Jiang Shang’s Origin Source space, countless black holes emerged. Surprisingly, not a single star existed; these black holes incessantly consumed and evolved, eventually forming a complete and remarkably real space.
Using its own Life power, the Spirit of Grass and Wood assisted Jiang Shang in mastering the universe’s space directly.
Presently, Jiang Shang had ascended to the supreme-peak!
Moreover, she achieved this pinnacle realm by ascending in the realm of the universe’s space.
Her strength surpassed even the supreme-peak who created the universe’s secret techniques. Especially her Origin Source, which was exceptionally unique, inheriting the Spirit of Grass and Wood’s Origin Source.
That power of Life originated from the Spirit of Grass and Wood.
Innate life!
“Release him!” Jiang Shang’s voice was icy as she slightly lowered her head, rising in front of Long Yi.
The power of Life directly infused into Hu Qing’s body.
His originally damaged physical form began to heal.
However, this power of Life was incomplete and couldn’t cure the Origin Source.
Thus, Hu Qing remained in a state of unconsciousness.
Although Long Yi was surprised by this, it was strange that the other party possessed the power of Life.
Keeping his hand from Hu Qing was due to their relationship, but facing Jiang Shang, Long Yi wouldn’t hold back anything. For some reason, the opponent’s strength had suddenly surged, but it didn’t matter.
At this moment, Jiang Shang was only on par with Hu Qing, or even slightly inferior. For Long Yi, it was nothing.
“Little girl…” Long Yi’s words were cut off the next moment. A burst of explosive force instantly pierced through his chest. Looking down, it turned out to be Jiang Shang.
With just a finger, she directly pierced through the green battle armor, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest!
Long Yi hadn’t even reacted, and his breath was already weakening.
That blow just now actually injured him, not just the physical injury, but it also affected his Origin Source.
“What…” Long Yi retreated, pointing at Jiang Shang in astonishment. “How is this possible?”
Jiang Shang’s expression was ice-cold, not giving Long Yi a chance to catch his breath. She attacked again, and the red long sleeves behind her fluttered as she charged towards Long Yi.
At this moment, she herself didn’t know that, unconsciously, she had already acquired the combat power of the Tribulation realm.
