Chapter 238 Filial Piety in the Palace, Relentless Bladeplay
Yu Que stepped out of the room, glanced around the cabin, and chose the nearest room for an inner disciple.

The room was set up with a simple array, which, while not providing complete protection, was enough to warn others.

Faced with this situation, although Yu Que was filled with murderous intent, he decided not to be too arrogant and chose to knock on the door first to call out the people in the room for questioning.

Boom!

A knock sounded at the door, and an inner disciple called out warily:

"who!?"

Upon hearing this sound, Yu Que, who had originally intended to intimidate the other party into opening the door, frowned and his mind immediately changed.

Although these people were only inner disciples of the palace, their age and cultivation were no less than his, and having spent so many years in the palace, they were definitely not lacking in cunning.

"If I were to go in and resolve this, I might just be walking into a trap and getting tricked instead."

This thought flashed through Yu Que's mind.

The next moment, the bluff he had prepared transformed into wisps of sword energy, striking towards the cabin.

Moreover, it wasn't just the cabin in front of him; sword energy surged towards all the inner disciples of the Dao Palace, except for Li Mingxing and Gong Dongxue.

呲呲呲!
The sound, like insects biting, appeared on the doors and walls of many inner disciples, startling many of them.

Some looked towards the door with confusion, while others looked towards the window frame with fear.

But before anyone could react, the sword energy pierced through the formation and rushed towards the inner disciples.

"A fine assassin!"

A series of sharp cries rang out from the whale ship.

Of the eleven disciples of the Dao Palace, half were furious, aware of the crisis, and summoned their household gods and magical artifacts to protect themselves.

The other half hesitated or were a step too slow, and were directly eroded by Yu Que's sword energy, which then pierced their spines, causing half of their bodies to go numb.

Faced with this situation, everyone was terrified and used all their magic to try to save their lives.

Rays of spiritual light, various magical artifacts, and countless ghosts and spirits.

It manifested its power in every cabin of the ship.

However, under Yu Que's extremely refined sword energy, the spells and spirits released by them were as fragile as paper and were easily pierced.

In the blink of an eye, from the moment Yu Que made his move to the moment the other disciple let out a fierce cry, eight of the eleven inner disciples were completely defeated, their bodies limp on the spot, barely clinging to life.

The remaining three, in a panic, pulled out their talismans, barely managing to deflect the sword energy released by Yu Que.

Just as Yu Que was about to chop down these three men in one go, bang bang!

Two figures suddenly darted out from both sides of the corridor; they were Li Mingxing and Gong Dongxue.

Upon hearing the inner disciple's cries for help, the two immediately flew out.

When they sensed the dense sword energy in the corridor, both of them felt a chill run down their spines and became extremely vigilant, wondering if it was the work of a hostile Daoist palace or an evil sect, or perhaps the Rakshasa Princess who had ambushed them.

When their divine senses swept over and they saw Yu Que's figure, the two were immediately filled with anger and anxiety.

"You dare, you surnamed Yu!"

"Yu Que, stop!"

Faced with their rebukes, Yu Que slightly turned his head and sized them up.

But a slight smile appeared on his face as he made a sword gesture with his hand.

Two hissing sounds rang out, and two more disciples had their talismans pierced through, causing them to fall heavily to the ground.

Although they had protective talismans, as ordinary inner disciples, they still had to do dirty work, so how could their talismans be of high quality? It was already rare for them to have the power to strike once or twice.

The last remaining inner disciple possessed a high-quality talisman, a defensive one at that, which transformed into a golden bell, firmly protecting him.

This is why Yu Que's extraordinary sword energy was unable to break through his tortoise shell for a while.

Upon seeing Li Mingxing and Gong Dongxue, the man immediately cried out, "Help me! Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Gong, help me!"

Seeing that Yu Que ignored their conversation and even dared to continue his violence in front of them, both Li Mingxing and Gong Dongxue were filled with rage.

Li Mingxing snorted coldly, and immediately summoned a black steel nail in his hand, with many ghostly figures flashing on the left and right.

"To slaughter one's fellow disciples is a crime deserving of death!"

The opponent immediately unleashed his magical weapon at Yu Que, while the ghosts and spirits around him howled and pounced on him.

Yu Que originally intended to withstand Li Mingxing's attack and cripple the remaining inner disciple as well. But at this moment, his mind suddenly tightened, and he turned his head to stare intently at the five-colored steel nail.

Buzz!

He didn't act arrogantly or have any intention of resisting head-on. Instead, he made a hand seal, and the Six Ding and Six Jia protected him properly from the front and back.

A chilling aura immediately rose from the steel nail, turning the surrounding area of ​​several dozen feet into a pitch-black expanse.

Those inner disciples who had been crippled by Yu Que in the cabin were unable to move and let out a scream before dying instantly.

It turns out that Li Mingxing is also a decisive person.

When the other party saw that Yu Que had taken the initiative to attack them, although they did not know where they had given themselves away, they made a decisive move, like a lion hunting a rabbit, and decided to kill Yu Que.

A hint of smugness even crept into the man's heart: "Having slaughtered my fellow disciples, I will not only be blameless in killing you today, but will actually be credited!"

Therefore, when Li Mingxing made his move, he not only used his magic weapon but also unleashed all his magical power, leaving no strength behind.

Just a pity.

The opponent's Black Nail Soul Hook was forcefully withstood by the Six Ding Six Jia, and because the attack was too brutal and left no room for maneuver, it immediately affected the other inner disciples.

Yu Que stared at the steel nail that was only ten feet away from him, his pupils shrinking slightly.

He smiled slightly again and said to Li Mingxing:

"Brother Li, you are the one who is slaughtering your fellow disciples, your crime is heinous."

A series of screams of agony suddenly erupted from the mouths of the surviving inner disciples around them.

Unable to move, they were only temporarily alive, and were watching helplessly as a dark aura began to erode their bodies, filled with terror.

"Senior Brother Li, help! Stop it at once!"

Li Mingxing's expression became even more alarmed at this moment.

He didn't care about the lives of the inner disciples around him; he was only concerned that Yu Que could easily block his full-force attack.

What made Li Mingxing even more alarmed was that he also felt a strong sense of oppression from Yu Que's two ghost soldiers.

"Damn it, what kind of ghost soldiers did that peak master bestow upon him?"

Even a sixth-rank ghost soldier shouldn't be able to easily block my nail. *Whoosh!*
Yu Que did not rush to order the Six Ding and Six Jia to kill Li Mingxing. He instructed the two gods to continue protecting him, and exhaled, and bursts of flames immediately shot out from his mouth, sweeping through the cabin and covering the dark evil energy.

This was Yu Que using Crowfire to try and suppress the evil aura released by the opponent.

To his delight, perhaps because the Crow Fire had been refined in the Xuanhuang Furnace, it was much purer than before. Although it had not yet become a true fire of the sixth rank, it was not much inferior.

It intertwined with the surrounding malevolent energy and true qi, but instead of losing, it enveloped the malevolent energy and burned out plumes of ash smoke.

Yu Que was completely relieved that the crow's fire could suppress Li Mingxing's murderous aura. He raised the white-spine sword in his hand, pointed it at his opponent, and shouted out a single word:
"go with!"

With a clang, the sword was drawn first, and then the sound of the sword ringing out rang out.

Yu Que's white spine sword rushed in front of Li Mingxing, slashing and cutting at the layers of spiritual light on his body.

This scene caused Li Mingxing's expression to darken sharply.

He hastily dealt with Yu Que's flying sword, when suddenly something occurred to him.

Although only one of the eleven inner disciples who accompanied them was barely clinging to life and was completely unable to set up the formation, there was still one person present besides them!

So Li Mingxing immediately turned his head and shouted at Gong Dongxue, who was standing to the side:
"Fellow Daoist Gong, this boy is utterly depraved! Why don't you help me kill this fiend!"

At this moment, Gong Dongxue made hand seals, her body surrounded by many divine shadows, and she looked at the two fighting with a startled expression.

Her gaze was momentarily blank.

Gong Dongxue never expected that the conflict on the ship would start so quickly, and that it was Yu Que who took the initiative, rather than Li Mingxing and the others.

Moreover, Yu Que's attack was so ruthless that he crippled ten inner disciples in just a few breaths.

Such magical power is not something a seventh-rank immortal could possess.

Upon hearing Li Mingxing's shout, Gong Dongxue instinctively wanted to take action, thinking that she should first use the magic weapon in her hand to suppress the scene before asking questions.

But the moment she moved, a sharp gaze was cast upon her, intently watching her every move.

That gaze was directed at Yu Que, who was constantly observing Gong Dongxue's movements.

If this woman makes any move that is not directed at Li Mingxing, he will consider Gong Dongxue an enemy as well.

Even if this woman is the chief disciple of that Xuan Tu Shangren, kill her if you can, and escape if you can't.

Yu Que did this to prevent the other party from being cunning and engaging in what appeared to be a peace talk but in reality a coordinated attack to kill him.

Fortunately, Gong Dongxue keenly sensed the coldness in Yu Que's eyes. She held the black seal in her hand and thought of her previous guess.

Although it is unclear whether her master sent her out to save Yu Que.

But she really had no connection with Li Mingxing and the others.

Gong Dongxue even felt uncomfortable with the frivolous behavior of the others after they boarded the ship, feeling that it was a breach of the Dao Palace's decorum.

So the woman wisely chose to stand by and watch, and even took a few steps back.

She was torn between two options: if Yu Que were to fall behind, should she save this vicious fellow...?

However, Gong Dongxue soon realized that her dilemma was a complete waste of time.

Seeing that Gong Dongxue had chosen to step aside, Yu Que immediately mustered even greater magical power, and his ancestral temple leaped out from his spiritual platform, filling the area.

On the other hand, Gong Dongxue's departure sent a chill down Li Mingxing's spine.

After Yu Que jumped out of the ancestral temple, the man found that the magic weapon he had used suddenly became sluggish, as if it had fallen into a swamp and could not move.

"Oh no! It is said that this child's ancestral temple has a suppressive effect."

Li Mingxing was alarmed and cried out in alarm, immediately trying to retrieve the magic weapon.

But in that instant of distraction, the white spine sword that Yu Que had thrown immediately followed his gap, transforming into sword light and surging in madly.

In a daze, Li Mingxing seemed to see countless silver snakes tearing at him.

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Yu Que immediately and decisively dispatched his first general, who rushed towards the enemy.

With a soft "poof," Li Mingxing's protective aura was torn apart by the divine general, revealing a large opening around him.

"No! You're asking for it!"

This fiend was terrified. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which transformed into a blood arrow that attacked Yu Que's divine general. Moreover, the baleful aura around him surged out like water, trying to corrode and dissolve the sword light that Yu Que had unleashed.

But both Yu Que's divine general and Yu Que's sword light withstood the beast's dying counterattack.

A click sounded.

The White Spine Sword, like a silver snake, coiled around Li Mingxing's body. With a gentle tremor, it severed his neck and chopped his limbs into several pieces.

Ahhhhh!
A scream rang out, and Li Mingxing's spirit leaped out from his own mangled corpse, its face contorted like a vengeful ghost, screaming with its divine sense:
"Yu Que, you dare to kill me!?"

I'm going to report you!

It controlled the Yin spirit and immediately lunged out of the cabin.

Yu Que was slightly taken aback when he saw this.

With his current level of sword energy, once he kills the enemy's physical body, his sword energy will spread out at the same time, killing the enemy's spirit at the same time, or trapping it in the corpse so that it dares not come out.

Unexpectedly, even though Li Mingxing's physical body was almost chopped into mincemeat, his Yin spirit was still able to resist the White Spine Sword and jump out. He truly deserves to be a sixth-rank immortal!
Just as Yu Que was once again urging his flying sword and divine generals to catch up with and kill the fiend's spirit, a delicate shout finally rang out:

"Certainly!"

Gong Dongxue held a black seal in her hand and gently pressed it in front of her. A powerful wave of energy emanated from it, causing the huge whale ship to sway.

The fleeing Yin spirit of Li Mingxing was frozen in place, unable to move.

With a whoosh, Yu Que's White Ridge Sword and the Divine General were not stopped and easily caught up.

With Gong Dongxue's help, Yu Que did not rush to kill the beast. Instead, with a swift movement of his sword, he captured the beast's spirit and put it into his Five-Purpose Pouch for safekeeping.

Having dealt with Li Mingxing's Yin spirit, Yu Que breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Gong Dongxue, whose expression was unusual.

He then stood still in the middle of the field, thought for a moment, and then performed a hand seal.

A whooshing sound rang out, and the surrounding area was filled with the flames of crows, which swept up Li Mingxing's corpse on the ground and the corpses of the inner disciples in the cabin, burning them all to ashes.
The once bustling cabin corridor suddenly became quiet, with only Yu Que and Gong Dongxue remaining, along with an inner disciple who was barely surviving thanks to a talisman.

The inner disciple, seeing the scene unfolding before him, was so terrified that his face turned deathly pale; he was on the verge of madness.

Just then, a gentle voice rang in his ear:

"Brother Dao, do not panic. May I ask you why you insist on putting me in such an unjust position, forcing me to kill you?"

The inner disciple looked up and saw that Yu Que, who had been expressionless since boarding the ship, was now smiling gently at him and asking questions in a kind and gentle tone.

If it weren't for the lingering traces of the battle and the opposite meaning in Yu Que's words, this man would have almost thought that the scenes of the fierce fight just now were all his hallucinations.
