A man in the martial world, a reincarnated sword immortal.

Chapter 103 Zhong Yuan Makes His Move, Li Qiushui Dies!

The sound faded.

Outside Lingjiu Palace.

Those many people from the martial arts world all looked around nervously.

They wanted to see clearly what kind of person the newcomer was.

huh~~~

As a gentle breeze blew, Li Qiushui, dressed in white, appeared on the stone of the palace not far away.

Li Qiushui wore a white silk veil, looking ethereal and otherworldly.

His appearance surprised many of the martial arts practitioners present.

but.

Anyone who saw Li Qiushui on Lingjiu Mountain last year knows that she is a formidable character, just like Tianshan Tonglao.

They whispered among themselves.

"broken."

"This person seems to be Tianshan Tonglao's junior sister."

"Last year, on Mount Lingjiu, this person and the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny fought fiercely."

"It's fair to say they're evenly matched."

"Unexpectedly, this person has also come to Lingjiu Palace today."

"It was rumored in the martial arts world that this person and Tianshan Tonglao were both disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Judging from what that person just said, doesn't that mean that the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny is currently in this Lingjiu Palace?"

"Huh? How is this possible?"

"The Lingjiu Palace has been searched inside and out, but no trace of Tianshan Tonglao has been found."

"How could the Heavenly Child Granny still be in Lingjiu Palace?"

Just as many people in the martial arts world were in turmoil.

Duan Yu ran out from the crowd and shouted loudly towards Li Qiushui, who was not far away, "Fairy Sister!"

"Fairy Sister!"

Duan Yu's actions immediately drew the attention of many martial arts practitioners in the surrounding area.

Upon seeing that it was Duan Yu, a glint flashed in Li Qiushui's eyes, and she said sweetly to Duan Yu, "Brother Yu."

"It's been a long time. Have you taken care of the task I asked you to do?"

Duan Yu gazed at Li Qiushui with great infatuation and said dreamily, "Fairy Sister, I haven't had time to do the things you asked me to do yet."

"They've all been taken care of by Master Zhong."

"Ding Chunqiu has already been killed by Sect Leader Zhong!"

"However, I came to Lingjiu Palace on Misty Peak to search for the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny."

"I arrived much faster than Master Zhong."

"But—but I haven't found that Heavenly Mountain Child Granny yet!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui immediately said slowly, "It's alright, it's alright."

Wow!

next moment.

Suddenly, Li Qiushui flashed forward, raised her right hand, and tightly grabbed Duan Yu's neck.

One hand lifted Duan Yu up.

Duan Yu's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"Fairy Sister!"

"What—what are you going to do!"

"I----"

This sudden change.

This greatly surprised the group of martial arts practitioners standing nearby.

but.

Ji Su did not come to Misty Peak alone today, but brought his retainers with him.

Fu Sigui, Chu Wanli, Gu Ducheng, and Zhu Danchen watched as their young master was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by the woman in white.

His expression immediately changed.

They hurriedly surrounded Li Qiushui.

Fu Sigui shouted loudly.

"Witch, release the young master!"

As Fu Sigui shouted, the bronze staff in his hand transformed into a blur of motion, attacking Li Qiushui.

boom!

But Li Qiushui didn't even turn around.

With a casual flick of his sleeve, a burst of true energy blasted away all four of them, including Fu Sigui!

After being blasted away, the four people landed on the ground, all suffering internal injuries and unable to get up for a while.

Li Qiushui's hair fluttered in the wind as she gripped Duan Yu's neck, her figure as upright as a lone pine tree.

Her voice faded away with the wind.

The news reached the ears of the many martial arts practitioners present.

"Yu-ge'er!"

"You're so useless!"

"Since you're so useless..."

"Then I have no choice but to send you on your way."

As Li Qiushui spoke, the pressure on her hands tightened.

Duan Yu looked at Li Qiushui, his eyes filled with sadness and sorrow.

He didn't understand.

Why has the fairy-like sister who was so affectionate with him last year suddenly changed her personality so drastically today?

They wanted to take his life.

He felt that his life had lost its meaning.

A thought even crossed my mind.

That would be dying at the hands of the fairy sister, which wouldn't be a bad thing.

only--

huh~~~

Just as Duan Yu was on the verge of death.

there.

Inside Lingjiu Palace.

Zhong Yuan leaped out and clapped his hands directly at Li Qiushui.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiushui immediately met the attack with her left hand and struck out with a palm.

The winding, auspicious white rainbow palm force was instantly released.

Zhong Yuan snorted coldly, his momentum undiminished.

He went straight up and easily neutralized the white rainbow palm strike.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiushui's eyes flashed, and her heart sank.

Zhong Yuan's palm strike has arrived!

Li Qiushui's left palm collided with Zhong Yuan's right palm.

Two immense internal forces collided instantly.

An invisible force spread outwards in all directions.

Li Qiushui's expression changed.

She immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Last year, when I was at Lingjiu Mountain.

This young man surnamed Zhong doesn't have such good fortune yet; his skill level is only considered average among the younger generation.

However, in less than a year, this young man's internal strength had become so profound.

It gave her a feeling as if she had collided with a mountain or an ocean.

Right now, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Right at this moment.

Duan Yu had somehow raised his hands and grabbed Li Qiushui's left arm.

Li Qiushui is giving it her all in a palm strike against Zhong Yuan.

Completely unexpectedly, Duan Yu, facing a life-or-death crisis, passively triggered the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

The Northern Darkness Divine Skill was passed down to Duan Yu by Li Qiushui.

Over the past year, Duan Yu has accumulated considerable internal strength by relying on the Beiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

at the moment.

He activated the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, fiercely absorbing Li Qiushui's internal energy.

Li Qiushui was focused on dealing with Zhong Yuan, never expecting that Duan Yu would find an opening at this moment.

but.

She couldn't afford to be distracted by Duan Yu because Zhong Yuan's internal energy was too formidable.

If she were to lose focus even for the slightest moment, she would surely be severely injured by Zhong Yuan's palm strike.

However, if Duan Yu were allowed to absorb her true energy so recklessly...

As a result of this ebb and flow, the other gains and loses.

She was not far from death either.

Moreover, since Duan Yu is now using the Northern Darkness Divine Art, she is powerless to strangle him.

At this critical juncture, they were caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.

Her internal energy is now connected to that boy surnamed Zhong. If she could also direct that boy's true energy to Duan Yu...

Not only could it burst Duan Yu's body, but it could also dissipate the true energy within the Zhong boy's body.

However, to achieve this, her body must become a bridge between Duan Yu and the man surnamed Zhong.

If she is not careful, she will inevitably be seriously injured.

but.

Right now, there's no other way to achieve the best of both worlds and kill two birds with one stone!

then.

She slowly withdrew her palm strike aimed at Zhong Yuan, and instead guided the true energy within her body to Duan Yu.

At the moment Li Qiushui released her force.

Zhong Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Moreover, he also noticed that Duan Yu's situation was somewhat different over there.

Duan Yu possessed the Northern Darkness True Qi, a fact Duan Yu had known since last year at the Great Xiangguo Temple.

at the moment.

Duan Yu activated his Northern Darkness True Qi, clearly absorbing Li Qiushui's true qi.

However, if he continues to exert himself, he will end up like Li Qiushui, becoming Duan Yu's blood bag.

This was naturally not something he could accept.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have severed all ties with Li Qiushui right now, even at the cost of internal injuries.

but.

He has a better way.

He directly reversed the flow of his inner energy, going against the natural order.

Although the Heart King Sutra does not have the characteristic of absorbing other people's power, the Northern Darkness Divine Art does.

However, after he reversed his internal energy, Duan Yu on the other side could not absorb his internal energy.

Conversely, Duan Yu's true energy will pass through Li Qiushui's body and, along with Li Qiushui's true energy, enter his body in the opposite direction.

of course.

This is also based on the fact that his internal strength is strong enough to far surpass that of Li Qiushui and Duan Yu.

That's why he dared to do it.

However, his internal strength was only comparable to Li Qiushui's.

He wouldn't dare take such a risk.

huh~~~

Just when Li Qiushui thought her plan to kill two birds with one stone had succeeded.

But then he suddenly realized that the true energy that was supposed to be sent into Duan Yu's body was actually being redirected.

Suddenly, it reversed direction and poured back into Zhong's body!

This time.

This immediately shocked Li Qiushui.

She never expected that Zhong Yuan would have such abilities.

She assumed that Zhong Yuan had also learned the [Northern Darkness Divine Skill].

He exclaimed softly at that moment!

"Brother Chung!"

There is no enmity or grudge between us!

"Moreover, your [Northern Darkness Divine Art] was obtained from me."

"I'll count to three, then we'll all let go, okay?"

"If this continues, Duan Yu will definitely get a huge advantage from us."

Zhong Yuan said calmly, "Li Qiushui."

Don't waste your time.

"It's too late now!"

Breathe!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

Twenty breaths passed quickly.

Zhong Yuan took the initiative and became the host.

Duan Yu was in a terrible situation; his internal energy was directly reversed and flowed into Zhong Yuan's body.

Along with Li Qiushui's internal energy, it also continuously flowed into Zhong Yuan's body.

By the time Duan Yu's internal energy was completely drained, Li Qiushui's internal energy was also almost depleted.

Zhong Yuancai directly knocked Li Qiushui away with a palm strike.

But then Li Qiushui's body went limp, and the strands of hair on her head turned from black to white in an instant.

The once smooth skin on her forehead and temples instantly became covered with wrinkles.

Given her condition, she was naturally no longer able to hold Duan Yu in her grasp.

Duan Yu collapsed to the ground, his body limp, coughing weakly as he gasped for breath of fresh air.

The unexpected turn of events left all the martial arts practitioners completely baffled.

I wonder what exactly has changed!

But they saw the result clearly.

That means Zhong Yuan not only won, but won big!

"I've long heard that the leader of the Ming Cult is now the greatest martial arts master in the Central Plains!"

"Having seen it today, I can confirm its reputation is well-deserved!"

"The skill of this Ming Cult leader, Zhong, is truly profound!"

"Just now, the four members of the Dali Duan family went to besiege Li Qiushui."

He was directly injured by Li Qiushui's casual attack.

"However, under Zhong Jiaozhu's attacks, Li Qiushui's days are numbered!"

now.

Zhong Yuan looked at Li Qiushui lying on the ground and said calmly, "Li Qiushui."

"Before you die, is there anything else you want to say?"

Li Qiushui remained silent upon hearing this, but stared intently at the gemstone ring on Zhong Yuan's hand.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"you----"

"How did this seven-jeweled ring end up in your hands!"

"You are...his...successor?"

Zhong Yuan snorted coldly.

"Does he even deserve it?"

"Now, the Free and Unfettered Sect has submitted to my Ming Cult and become a part of my Ming Cult."

"You have committed treason and deserve to die!"

"I'll send you on your way."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui burst into loud laughter, "Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter stopped abruptly. She glanced sharply at Zhong Yuan, then slowly said, "Okay!"

"You're great!"

"Unbelievable!"

"I really didn't expect this—"

"Senior Sister————"

"We've been fighting for most of our lives!"

"I never imagined the final result would be—"

Before the words had even finished,

Li Qiushui's head lolled to the side, and she died instantly.

there.

Standing before the gates of Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao felt no joy at the sight of Li Qiushui's death.

Because she keenly observed the exchange between Li Qiushui and the man surnamed Zhong just now.

It's likely that his internal energy was drained by the person surnamed Zhong.

Otherwise, Li Qiushui wouldn't have died so quickly.

This kid surnamed Zhong is just too weird.

Given Li Qiushui's skill level, even if this kid had learned the [Northern Darkness Divine Art], he shouldn't have had a chance to absorb Li Qiushui's internal energy.

but.

That bitch Li Qiushui was clearly drained dry by that Zhong brat!

What on earth is going on?!

now.

Tianshan Tonglao was filled with a sense of crisis.

Although Li Qiushui is not as good as she was at her peak.

But not just anyone can stage an accident to extort money.

Even though I have survived the period of weakness.

It's probably going to be very difficult to kill this kid surnamed Zhong.

Unless—they act secretly, waiting for the right opportunity.

When the disciples of Lingjiu Palace saw that Zhong Yuan had displayed great power and killed Li Qiushui, they were amazed.

They were all greatly shocked.

after all.

Li Qiushui is Tong Lao's number one enemy.

Her skill level was so high that even the Child Granny was far superior to her.

And, most importantly.

Right now, it's not just Li Qiushui who has been killed.

Even the Old Woman Tong was caught.

but.

None of the female disciples of Lingjiu Palace dared to acknowledge Tong Lao.

because.

At this moment, anyone who acknowledges the Child Granny will be putting her to death.

They all pretended not to know the Heavenly Child Granny.

Sikong Xuan stepped down from the palace gate and shouted loudly to Elder Wu and the other cave and island lords, "Everyone!"

"Gentlemen!"

"Come quickly and pay your respects to Master Zhong!"

"Master Zhong has already removed the life-and-death talisman from my body and Zuo Zimu's body."

"The whereabouts of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny are currently unknown. Even if we find her, she will never give us the antidote."

"Right now, we have Leader Zhong here."

"The Heavenly Child Granny isn't so scary after all."

"Sooner or later, Leader Zhong will be able to personally slay the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Upon hearing this, the cave lords and island lords were immediately overjoyed.

One by one, they looked towards Zhong Yuan.

Wu Laoda was the fastest runner. He flashed over and bowed to Zhong Yuan with clasped hands.

"Master Zhong!"

"We, these people, have suffered greatly from the cruelty of the Life and Death Talisman!"

"If Master Zhong can truly dispel the life-and-death talisman for us!"

"We, all of us, are willing to follow Leader Zhong and uphold the Ming Cult!"
