Transcending The Martial Peak - Chapter 96 The Battle That Shook The City

Qin Mu spread his spirit sense and locked it on the woman in the room. At first, he didn’t find anything unusual, until he found a trace of a terrifyingly dark and sinister aura hidden beneath.

Even he had cold sweat on his forehead due to the terror the aura brought. Knowing that was about to happen, Qin Qing immediately said “GrandFather, Don’t harm him. He is my life.”

Qin Mu was once again shocked at this love declaration but was in no mood to let such a terrifying potential threat do as she wishes in Qin Clan.

He immediately broke a token and more than a dozen auras spiked in an instant as they headed to this place.

Lu Xiya immediately sensed that there is a powerhouse approaching her. She didn’t want to believe it but now it seemed like everything was a trap. She didn’t waste a moment before both of her hands turned into a claw and slashed at the young man.

*Boom*

Ling Chen used a rare defense token as his skin instantly had a great defense.

But still being hit by Lu Xiya, he has blasted away. There was a large wound on his stomach. If he has not used the token, he would have been blown into smithereens.

*Bang*

The next second, the whole house itself was blown away with a palm used by Qin Mu. Now, all that is left is a roofless, wallless floor.

Lu Xiya’s eyes turned pitch black. The next moment, she used her profound art to escape. But Qin Mu appeared in front of her like he already saw her escaping that way.

A palm strike made its way to her as an OverLord used his might. Lu Xiya didn’t hesitate as she used a claw of her own as she shouted “Serpent’s clutch”

A green serpent appeared as it tried to coil the palm and smash it, at the same time its tail was attacking Qin Mu.

Now, Lu Xiya released her aura. It was pitch black with a greenish boundary. She twisted her waist as she flew high into the air.

The first attacks were only probing their strengths. The real battle has only begun.

In the next second, a dozen experts from the Qin Clan arrived and took away everyone else from the scene. Only Qin Mu and Lu Xiya were in the air and the next 500 meters were empty.

“Wind of Terror” Qin Mu shouted as a gale wind blew along with terrifying profound energy. Wherever the wind blew, everything in the way was reduced to pieces. This is a Wind Profound Art in the offense.

Lu Xiya saw all the incoming wind concentrating at her second by second. She knew that she was in trouble now. But there were no signs of panic on her face. Only overwhelming calmness and coldness.

She made a hand seal as a loud roar was heard shaking the entire city. A huge python phantom was released with its length being more than 100 meters long as it headed to Qin Mu.

The Wind of Terror and the Python Phantom attacked each other as they fought for victory. Finally, the python was completely broken into bits and pieces of profound energy. The Wind of Terror also lost all of its power and dissipated shortly.

The Roar of the Python which sounded more like the roar of a dragon shook everyone in the city. They turned towards the source as everyone saw two figures in the air at Qin Clan’s territory.

The gale winds seemed to be blocked off by the huge python phantom. Even though they are a lot of distance away, their backs were still full of cold sweat.

On the grass bed, Sheng Tian turned his head as he watched the battle from far away. His lips curved into a small smile which showed anticipation and satisfaction.

Back at the Qin Territory:

Liu feifei held Ling Chen as Qin Qing took a precious pill and fed him without hesitation. His wounds began to heal at a visible rate. The two ladies breathed a sigh of relief while Ling Chen’s eyes were still focused on the battle in the sky.

Qin Mu didn’t hesitate after seeing her counter-attack and took out his spear. It was a black spear with red inscriptions on it. Lu Xiya felt a sense of danger coming from it. She took out a green whip immediately.

The thrust of the spear and the lash of the whip produced enormous shockwaves as all the nearby houses were blown away. The people felt as if something was stuck in their chest as it became hard to breathe.

Most of the core seniors of Qin Clan were watching the battle while some of them were managing the people.

“Tornado of Blade” a deep voice sounded as the spear in Qin Mu’s hand released a horrifying tornado. The wind in it was as sharp as the tip of the spear as it cut everything it came in contact with. The huge green tornado was over 100 meters tall as it dashed towards Lu Xiya.

All the air was sucked into it from the surroundings as everyone involuntarily stepped back. The suppression they felt was too high.

Lu Xiya looked at the incoming tornado, a cold smile on her lips as she chanted a strange verse and a huge python showed itself.

Unlike the previous python phantom which had a very faint body, this one could be said to have a more ‘real’ body. It had pitch black scales which looked like the dark coal. The scales covered every inch of its body. On its triangular face was a horn.

The Black Python looked like a black inked rope. Its length was over 200 meters. Its thickness was that of a house. Everyone in the Qin Capital felt their breaths stopping the second they saw it due to fear and shock.

The Python emitted a dreadful suppression as everyone within the vicinity of 2 km felt like ants who can be trampled on. This is suppression by life’s natural order.

Sheng Tian clicked his tongue in amusement as he saw that Jet Black Large Python. In a room at the top of the Myriad Treasure Star house, a young lady was sitting by the window as she watched everything with a serious expression.

Lu Xiya’s face turned completely pale. She didn’t have the strength to attack one more time. But there was still the same indifference in her eyes.

The next moment, their attacks clashed. The Tornado was coiled by the python as its pitch black scales were under the constant attack of the sharp winds of the tornado.

The whole city shook. The ground was vibrating. Air itself became heavy all of a sudden. The glasses were breaking as everyone felt a sense of dread. It felt as if all the actions in the city came to a halt and only the fight carried on.

The crowd was in fear as they saw the fight unfold between two titans. The sheer scale of the destruction in the vicinity of the fight area reached an unprecedented level.

Almost every building within 2 kilometers radius was reduced to pieces. Thankfully, the ones living there were already evacuated but still many coughed up blood continuously. The injured people only went on increasing.

The tornado and the python in a stalemate. The tornado was not able to cut the scales or was the python able to break the tornado.

Qin Mu used his profound energy and strengthened the tornado. Slowly, the python began losing its ground.

Lu Xiya only wanted to escape but knew that if she did try it at this moment, Qin Mu would easily attack her thus making things worse for her.

She bit her lower lip and used a bit of her blood essence as the pitch black python turned blood red and the tornado started losing its weight.

Lu Xiya saw something and relaxed. Qin Mu decided to use all his energy to kill the python phantom and this woman.

Just as he was about to do that, he felt an imminent sense of danger. Since he was completely focused on the battle with this dangerous woman, he didn’t concentrate on others. But with the experts of Qin Clan guarding the area and having his back, he was not on guard for attacks from inside.

So, he was a bit late even when tried to dodge as his stomach was impaled with a spear.

*Blurgh* He coughed up a mouthful of blood. If not for him defending, his neck would have been snapped off. And even with him using profound energy to defend himself at the last moment, it was already too late.

Lu Xiya took this moment as her golden chance as she burned a bit of her blood essence and used the profound arts as she escaped into the horizon.

All the experts on the scene were unable to catch her as she literally disappeared from her position. They couldn’t see spot her whereabouts. So, their only means was to search everywhere and in every direction.

But most of them turned their heads towards the one who sneak attacked Qin Mu as they raised their auras to the maximum. The moment they saw him, they sucked in a cold breath.

It was Yu Yang. His hair which turned white with the river of time is now jet black, so are his pupils and aura. He and the woman had so many similarities. All the experts didn’t hesitate to attack him with all their might.

Yu Yang snorted coldly as numerous defensive and offensive treasures he got as an Alchemist came out. All the experts were engaged with the treasures.

Yu Yang gritted his teeth and used a forbidden movement art. In the next second, he too disappeared from the spot. His aura was undetectable.

Ling Chen and Liu feifei both clenched their fists as they muttered coldly “Devil’s Blood Escape”

…

Lu Xiya traveled to the North of the city. It is the commoner’s district and there are no experts to sense her aura.

She was relieved. She was already outside the city. She quickly traveled to a more desolate route. She already had injuries which she has yet to recover, now this battle costed her blood essence which would lead to a great loss if she doesn’t take any action.

She swore to torture Ling Chen and Liu feifei as to let them tell the secrets they were hiding. There was no way they were not related to the incident regarding Bloody Wolf. She also wanted to know how they knew she was a devil and a powerful one at that.

With all the plans of revenge in mind, she subconsciously chose the most deserted routes and soon, she was traveling in a desolate path. There was a mountain nearby.

Just as she was thinking about how to punish Ling Chen for the Nth time, a sense of danger loomed over her as her senses kicked and she hurriedly tried to dodge. But too bad the attack was well calculated and cut off all the routes of escape as a sword beam slashed at her shoulders and thighs.

“Tsk. Tsk. Some Nice butt movements you got there. But why don’t you just die, Old Foggy? Aren’t you bored of living yet!” a voice filled with utter ridicule and contempt entered her ears as ‘Ling Tian’ appeared on a treetop.
