Unfilial disciple, do not ruin your master's dream of ascension and peaceful life.

After a long time, Ye Yinqiu experienced the joy of escaping from a desperate situation. Although she didn't know what had happened, it must be her special ability!

"You bastard..."

Zhou Rong glared at him fiercely, and for the first time, fear appeared in the bastard's eyes!

She bit her right sleeve with her teeth, raising her right hand to wield the sword, and squeezed out words from between her teeth—a supernatural power passed down to her by her master when she descended to the mortal realm:

"Take this... Supreme... Azure Slaying Technique!!!!"

The sword was swung in the air!

However, nothing happened.

"Ah, ah...? What...?"

"Go to hell!!!!"

With a roar, Zhou Rong unleashed a massive wave of air pressure that swept up Ye Yinqiu, whose body was badly mangled, and slammed her against the wall, cracking the sturdy warehouse wall!

Ye Yinqiu's vision blurred, and when she came to her senses, she had already been hit! Her blood and qi surged, her bones cracked further, and she almost fainted on the spot, only managing to hold on by sheer willpower!

...All thanks to perseverance?

This is not an injury that can be overcome by willpower alone.

Zhou Rong also realized something was wrong. His attack was enough to crush her, but the actual damage she suffered was far less than expected.

"Huh...? What's going on...? Why do I feel like this..."

A strange fluctuation, accompanied by excruciating pain, surged within Ye Yinqiu's body. She instinctively braced herself against the ground, and this small movement triggered some unknown mechanism. An invisible wave emanated from her palm, spreading to the floor and instantly traveling along the floor to the ground beneath Zhou Rong—

Snap!

Zhou Rong's right leg snapped off instantly, blood gushing out like a fountain, as if he had been struck by an invisible slash! But that wasn't the end of it; the force of the "slash" sent him flying more than ten meters, crashing outside the warehouse door!

(She...absorbed the 'impact'...and then 'released' it...?)

In a flash, he roughly figured out what had happened. He used air pressure to stop the bleeding from the broken part of his right leg, and at the same time, he further expanded the wall of air pressure, completely enveloping him from head to toe—complete defense!

(Squeeze her from the inside out!!)

With both of Ye Yinqiu's legs crippled, there's no way she can dodge; a single strike will decide the outcome!

However, she gritted her teeth and stomped her broken foot on the ground. This time, an invisible slash erupted from beneath her feet, leaving a deep gash on the ground. The enormous reaction force propelled her to burst into acceleration!

The vacuum explosion grazed past her, bursting her feet, but she was oblivious, focused only on swinging her sword with all her might!

when!!!!

The sword struck the wall of air pressure, its blade stopping ten centimeters in front of Zhou Rong, unable to penetrate any further!

"idiot!"

Zhou Rong laughed loudly, hiding behind the protective shield, and at extremely close range, he manipulated the air to crush the damned woman's head—

However, a faint fluctuation emanated from the blade, passed through the air pressure shield, and gently landed on Zhou Rong's face.

Ye Yinqiu's slashes can propagate through a medium and will weaken as they propagate.

The decay rate is slowest when the medium is stable and solid, such as the ground.

If it is a liquid or even a gas, the transmission efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Using air as a medium, the damage from a slash will be greatly reduced after only a few centimeters. When a full-force slash lands on a person, it may only cause the light cut of a fruit knife, causing no pain or itch.

However, even such minor damage can be dealt with if the swordsmanship is good enough and the aim is precise enough—

Zhou Rong screamed in agony as the slash landed squarely on his eye! His fragile cornea was ripped open, and vitreous humor and blood gushed out! Ye Yinqiu mustered her strength and swung her sword again, the strike piercing his ear precisely before it weakened, slicing the equally fragile cochlea!

With his eyeballs and cochlea injured one after another, he completely lost his sense of balance, his brain became a mess, and the air pressure shield dissipated!

Ye Yinqiu's arms were completely useless at this moment. She used her teeth to bite the hilt of the sword with the force of crushing her gums, and plunged the tip of the sword deep into Zhou Rong's mouth, all the way to his brain!

His body convulsed instantly, his limbs spasmed reflexively, and he let out a silent roar.

Then, the light in his eyes faded, and he remained motionless.

died.

"Cough...cough cough...ah...we won...we won..."

Completely exhausted, Ye Yinqiu opened her mouth, and the sword clattered to the ground.

As the surge of adrenaline subsided, excruciating pain swept over my entire body, rendering me completely immobile.

The accumulated injuries on her body were enough to be fatal.

Her consciousness gradually became hazy, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end only one remained.

(Master…………)

As Qian Jing walked through the prison compound, he treated every non-prisoner he saw. These people were all saved; the murderer probably didn't want to cause too many non-prisoners to die and attract the attention of the mutual aid association.

As he passed through the high-security prison building again, he curled his lip. The building was severely damaged, and all the prisoners had been wiped out. The scene was so tragic that it could be used as material to film "Joker 4".

Qianjing was in a calm mood.

Or rather, he forced himself to remain calm.

He had seen this kind of thing countless times back in his hometown.

Prodigies venture into forbidden areas seeking trials and opportunities, bearing the consequences of their own actions. Countless promising young talents perish here, leaving their elders only able to sigh in despair.

But this is Earth, not the Azure Realm.

Here, life is a blessing to be enjoyed, not a gambling chip.

He finally arrived at Warehouse No. 3 and the first thing he saw was Zhou Rong's body on the ground; the villain had already died.

And right next to the body...

"Master...?"

Clutching a precious sword, his limbs crippled, his body covered in blood, the apprentice, a pitiful sight, opened his eyes a tiny slit and met Qian Jing's gaze.

Her lips twitched, and she moved her cracked lips, revealing a painful yet sweet smile.

"I'm sorry... for all the trouble I've caused you..."

"The sword... you... gave me... I... have retrieved it..."

"Please...don't...be angry... anymore..."

"For...you..."

She tried to present the sword to Qianjing with her broken arms, but she couldn't lift it; she was too badly injured.

Seeing his disciple, whose face was covered in blood, forcing a smile at him, Qian Jing closed his eyes in frustration and let out the biggest and longest sigh since his ascension.

He ignored the sword and picked up his silly apprentice in a princess carry.

"I'm impressed. I must have owed you something in my past life."

"Master...? Are you... still... angry...?"

"I'm not angry, I wasn't angry in the first place."

"real……?"

"I was just pretending to be angry to test your character. You passed the test, congratulations."

What a clumsy lie.

But Ye Yinqiu believed it.

She never doubted the person she respected most.

She felt a weight lifted from her heart, all the pain in her body disappeared, and she nestled in Qianjing's arms, smiling sweetly.

Qianjing stopped talking and didn't look down at her in his arms anymore. He silently carried her away.

Ye Yinqiu didn't know why her master had suddenly fallen silent.

She instinctively sensed that her master was exceptionally gentle tonight.

Name: Ye Yinqiu

Hometown: The Cultivation World of "Cangxuan Realm"

Ability: Butcher Subduing Demons

It grants a percentage reduction in damage from impacts to the body. The reduced portion of the impact is temporarily stored in the body (there is a limit to the amount of impact that can be absorbed at one time). It can then be released externally in the form of a slash. The slash can be conducted through a medium. The harder and more solid the medium, the higher the conduction efficiency. The higher the proficiency, the lower the requirements for the medium.
