Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Amidst the ruins of Baiyun Teahouse.

Yu Shui gazed at the veil that had been severed by a sword, then gently raised her hand and wiped her face.

A trickle of blood appeared on his fingertip.

"How is this possible..."

Seeing the smear of blood, Yu Shui showed an unprecedented shock.

She, Yu Shui, is a dignified Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator.

He was actually injured by a martial arts master?

"Good! Very good!"

With a cold expression, Yu Shui rubbed her fingers together, wiping away a trickle of blood from her fingertips.

She raised her beautiful eyes, her gaze no longer showing any contempt for Qin Muyuan.

The instant Qin Muyuan managed to break through her protective spiritual energy and injure her, her fighting instincts, honed by a true Qi Refining cultivator, began to take over the ensuing battle.

"From now on, I will no longer hold back!"

Yu Shui pulled out a long rope from her waist, which was originally used as a belt and tied around her waist, and immediately grabbed it in her hand.

Chi Chi!

The next second, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged into the long rope, which seemed to suddenly awaken and come back to life, pulsating and radiating a rich crimson spiritual light.

Yu Shui was unwilling to use the [Azure Blood Whip].

The reason is that once the [Azure Blood Whip] is activated, it must be allowed to drink its fill of fresh blood in order to appease the spirit within the whip and prevent it from turning against oneself.

In addition, the Azure Blood Whip absorbs the essence and blood of each enemy it strikes during battle to replenish its own power.

Yu Shui will need to use Qin Muyuan's essence blood to perform the [Four Weapons Qi Extraction Array] to extract the bloodthirsty energy from his body.

If Qin Muyuan's essence blood is completely absorbed by the Azure Blood Whip, or if too little is left, it will affect the quality of the blood essence obtained later.

Originally... Yu Shui did not intend to use this whip.

However... Qin Muyuan's current behavior forced her to resort to this item!

Because at this moment, she already felt a considerable threat from Qin Muyuan!

Because Qin Muyuan had already broken through her protective spiritual energy, causing harm to her!

Faced with this threat, Yu Shui will no longer be complacent.

She was going to... use all her strength to kill Qin Muyuan right here.

Even if the Green Blood Whip might drain Qin Muyuan of his life essence.

Even if the quality of the blood essence collected decreases.

Even though she felt somewhat ashamed to have to use her full strength to deal with a martial arts master.

but.

"die!"

Yu Shui let out a cold shout, unleashing all his spiritual power at that moment, and fiercely swung the Azure Blood Whip!

Snapped!

The Azure Blood Whip whipped through the air with a sonic boom, like a vicious venomous snake, lashing towards Qin Muyuan's chest in an instant—

Then the whip struck the dust, sand, and oxygen molecules.

In other words... the whip hit the air.

"What?!"

The sensation from her palm startled Yu Shui, who had been confident that she could easily subdue Qin Muyuan with her Azure Blood Whip.

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qin Muyuan, whose whip was even faster than the Azure Blood Whip, her face filled with disbelief.

And this incredulous expression was exactly the same as the expression on Lin Jiuye's face before!

All of these contained self-doubt, shock at the failure of the attack, and bewilderment at the fact that Qin Muyuan was still alive.

It's like giving up your pride and using your somewhat despicable trump cards, only to find that the enemy is completely unharmed!

But... who says that playing your trump card guarantees a win?

On Qin Muyuan's screen, several lines of text flickered and rippled like shimmering light.

[Thunder Strike Sword Technique Level 4 (Perfect) → Thunder Strike Sword Technique Level 5 (Breakthrough)]

[Thunder Strike Sword Technique Fifth Level (Breakthrough): Your sword technique contains the divine power of thunder, allowing you to infuse a wisp of thunderous energy into your longsword]

[Windwalking Step Level 5 (Perfect) → Windwalking Step Level 6 (Breakthrough)]

[Windwalking Steps Level 6 (Breakthrough): You can use the ability to ride the wind to rise up and stride towards the sky; at the same time, you can master the power of wind to break through the air and advance at will in an instant.]

During the battle with Yu Shui just now, Qin Muyuan had already improved his Thunder Strike Sword Technique from the fourth level of perfection to the fifth level of breakthrough.

Only then was he able to pierce through Yu Shui's protective spiritual energy with a single sword strike, leaving a bloodstain on Yu Shui's concealed face.

Just as he used his sword light to break through the Jade Water defense, the Wind Control Step also underwent a super evolution.

With the help of the [Master of Essence] talent, he painstakingly cultivated from the fifth level of perfection to the sixth level of breakthrough.

After breaking through the realm, the Wind-Riding Step gained the ability to instantly dash in any direction.

Unlike the previous Windwalking Step - Sky-Breaking Style, which could only dash forward in front of you.

Besides the Thunder Strike Sword Technique and the Wind Riding Step, a streak of light flashed across the panel.

These streams of light represent techniques such as [Killing Intent Perception], [Killing Intent Utilization], and [Stone], which are gradually enhanced and become more powerful during battle.

In short, through arduous cultivation, Qin Muyuan... achieved enlightenment once again!

"Did you enjoy hitting me just now?"

As soon as Qin Muyuan's words reached Yu Shui's ears, a sword light intertwined with dark blue and crimson struck Yu Shui's waist at the same time!

Its speed, the ferocity of its attacks, and the sheer power of its strength...

All of this exceeded the range that the Jade Water Protective Qi could withstand.

The tide of battle turned!

Yu Shui, who had been beating Qin Muyuan like a punching bag, was now being slashed away by Qin Muyuan's sword, just like a punching bag!

The jade water crashed into a wall as if it had been violently struck, and then burst through the wall, smashing through seven or eight walls in succession before sinking deep into the last one!

"Ugh—"

The violent impact on her back caused Yu Shui to let out a muffled groan, and the protective spiritual energy around her body vibrated continuously.

Before Yu Shui could pry herself out of the wall, Qin Muyuan's figure flashed again, and the bone nail with blue and red sword light slashed towards Yu Shui's neck.

This sword strike was far too fast for Yu Shui!

It was so fast that she didn't have enough time to react or use her spiritual energy or the Azure Blood Whip to defend herself. She was sent flying like a golf ball by the bone nail.

"Weak! Too weak!"

Qin Muyuan said, unable to hide his disappointment, as he brandished his sword.

He had assumed that Yu Shui, as a so-called Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator, could be very strong.

The result... left Qin Muyuan extremely disappointed!

Although Yu Shui possesses a host of abilities such as [spiritual energy protection], [spiritual light at the fingertips], and [living whip], she is still a powerful and virgin spirit.

But her fighting spirit, her methods of countering the enemy, and the will she showed when facing a powerful foe... were not even half as good as Lin Jiuye's!

"Is this all there is to immortal cultivation?"

Qin Muyuan unleashed another sword strike.

Under this sword strike, Yu Shui's protective spiritual energy dissipated!

The spiritual energy surrounding Yu Shui was instantly shattered by Qin Muyuan, like a bubble bursting.

As soon as the protective spiritual energy dissipated, the sword moves that had been 99% blocked by the protective spiritual energy were all struck Yu Shui!

puff!

A streak of blood spurted from Yu Shui's chest, splitting the shallow canyon in front of her into a deeper one.

Crimson blood instantly stained Yu Shui's pure white clothes.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Yu Shui let out a mournful howl.

The misery was even more intense than Lin Jiuye's screams.

But no matter how much Lin Jiuye wailed, his demonic blood arm was forcibly severed.

As for Yu Shui in front of her, the dissipated protective spiritual energy had already shielded her from most of the damage.

The sword did not sever her body, nor did it shatter her internal organs.

But she let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, which greatly disappointed Qin Muyuan.

"So, this is all the so-called immortal cultivator is capable of..."

Qin Muyuan flashed to Yu Shui's side, his pure bone nail raised high.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" At this moment, Yu Shui, who had always been aloof and superior, finally showed fear on her cold face:

"Don't kill me! I... I'm very eloquent! Besides, I know the art of dual cultivation; I can help you—"

scoff!

As the pure bone nail fell, Yu Shui flew up with a terrified human head.

Qin Muyuan calmly sheathed his sword, blood gushing out, and his graceful body fell to the ground.

"I have no obligation to make you feel good."

Qin Mu said coldly.

For him, those who were his enemies—

There is only one path: to be killed!
