Chapter 364: Killing Without Blinking
Chapter 364: Killing Without Blinking
As a cultivator with nearly a thousand years of cultivation, Lie Lao had encountered his fair share of arrogant individuals.
In his lengthy lifetime, he had seen numerous cultivators who were arrogant, conceited, and domineering.
However, since taking control of the Lie clan and reaching the realm of innate cultivation, there were hardly any individuals who dared to be arrogant in his presence.
Such a situation, where a carriage like the one before us is halted and interrogated midway, has never occurred before.
Lie Yang gazed at the crimson-clad woman blocking the path ahead, furrowing his brow as he inquired, "Madam, may I inquire as to your identity and the reason for obstructing our passage?"
Under the enchanting gaze of Lie Yang's magic eyes, the crimson-clad woman before him emanated a peculiar and sinister aura.
That pallid complexion, a slightly lifeless and languid figure, appeared akin to the body of a dying person, devoid of any vitality.
However, in the midst of it all, there was a faint but discernible sense that this body contained an unparalleled, terrifying power, far beyond that of an ordinary cultivator.
At the very least, she is a cultivator of the innate realm.
-But even if we share the same innate realm, it is excessively impolite to abruptly obstruct our path so early in the morning!
Lie Yang, who was already quite displeased last night, is feeling even worse now.
If it were an ordinary day, he would have patiently engaged in a conversation with this unidentified cultivator of the innate realm, seeking to turn swords into friendship and gain one more companion.
However, the current him lacks such patience, leaving only weariness in his heart.
Do they all assume that Lie Yang lacks temper?
As he coldly observed the woman obstructing his path ahead, Lie Yang, rarely seen in such a state, genuinely became infuriated.
While Lian Cangqing observed the imposing and indignantly furious old man, she was somewhat taken aback, saying, "You, this younger generation, dare to glare at me? Are you tired of living?"
Originally, Lian Cangqing, who had only come to inquire about the situation, has now become provoked as well.
Seeing Lie Yang's fierce demeanor, she became even more ferocious.
Under the morning light, Lian Cangqing directly delivered a palm strike, spanning a distance of several meters.
Splutter
With a muffled groan, Lie Yang in the midst of the crowd spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering backward. His entire face was filled with an expression of incredulous shock.
Why does this woman's palm technique... have not the slightest hint of a warning?
Until that fierce palm strike landed on his chest, Lie Yang had not even glimpsed the woman's attack.
As Lie Lao was being attacked, the surrounding cultivators immediately became flustered.
Nangong Hao's eyes were filled with a fiery fury as he roared, "Do not harm Lie Lao!"
If the leader of the Lie clan were to encounter a major incident within his jurisdiction, he would undoubtedly be unable to disassociate himself from it!
In a state of anxious rage, Nangong Hao directly surged his true essence, once again invoking the power of Kylin's Blood Soul.
Upon the galloping thoroughfare, resounded the furious roar of Nangong Hao.
"Ancestral Kylin Soul, annihilate my enemies!"
"Roar!!!"
Amidst the ferocious beastly roar, a blood-red Kylin emerged from the void and charged directly towards Lian Cangqing ahead, issuing a roaring cry.
In a state of burning anxiety, Nangong Hao immediately unleashed his most powerful trump card, leaving no room for hesitation.
Upon the galloping thoroughfare, the echoes of beastly roars resonated for miles, as the ferocious crimson light obscured the heavens and the aura of the primal divine beasts shook the entire expanse of the forest.
All the cultivators who witnessed this spectacle had pale faces and trembling figures.
However, in the direction where Kylin's Blood Soul rushed, Lian Cangqing, adorned in a blood-stained robe, furrowed her brows slightly and said, "A mere foolish dog dares to stop me? Cultivators of this era truly lack no courage."
As the words fell, Lian Cangqing raised her hand and swiftly delivered a resounding slap to the Kylin's Blood Soul that was roaring towards her.
Snap-
With a crisp sound, followed immediately by the Blood Kylin's piercing and miserable screams.
In the stunned and disbelieving gazes of the onlookers, the Kylin's Blood Soul was swiftly slapped away by Lian Cangqing, transforming into a stream of blood-red light that flew towards the distance and crashed heavily into the mountain wall, creating a terrifying scene akin to the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
A colossal peak, in its entirety, was abruptly cut in half, causing dust and debris to spray through the air.
Amidst the trembling of the earth, Lian Cangqing cast a cold gaze upon the remaining group of cultivators, and spoke, "Does anyone else dare to make a reckless move?"
All the cultivators had pale faces, their expressions filled with wordless fear.
After Nangong Hao's Kylin's Blood Soul was sent flying, he even spat out fresh blood, causing him to faint and lose consciousness completely.
Lian Cangqing's palm strike nearly shattered the Kylin's Blood Soul into pieces. Through their intertwined minds, Nangong Hao narrowly escaped instant death.
The injuries sustained through this mental connection were many folds more severe than when Kylin's Blood Soul was mysteriously dissipated last night.
In the blink of an eye, the two innate cultivators fell down so effortlessly, unable to put up even the faintest resistance.
Lian Cangqing glanced over with a cold gaze, and no one dared to provoke her anymore.
Even Lie Lao, who struggled to climb to his feet, had a pale complexion and an expression of silent terror.
The Youxiong Country... How did the Youxiong Country produce such a group of jinxes!
Last night's Huo Feng of the Yun Sect was still considered decent, despite the fact that the sword servant spoke hurtfully, she held back during the confrontation.
However, this woman in red before me, every move she makes is ruthless, devoid of any sense of reason. Just because she gave the other party a fierce glare, she immediately proceeded to attack without hesitation...
Lie Yang, clutching his chest, took several quick breaths before stabilizing his internal energy. He swayed as he stood up and spoke.
Lie Yang, realizing that the person before him was not easily provoked, attempted to salvage the situation by asking, "Senior, how should I address you?"
However, before he could finish his words, Lian Cangqing swiftly launched another palm strike.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, under the bright sunlight, the pallid-faced Lie Lao let out a miserable scream as he was instantly obliterated by an unparalleled force of palm.
The soul shattered into fragments.
The fallen cultivator of innate mastery, directly transformed into bursting fireworks, scattering numerous ethereal essences into the void, dispersing in all directions.
On either side of the racing lane, despite it being the midst of deep winter and late December, under the pervasive surge of spiritual vitality, a ten-mile radius witnessed a miraculous rejuvenation, with withered trees blooming and mountain flowers blossoming.
As if spring had descended.
In the expanding tide of spiritual vitality, all the cultivators who witnessed this happening wore expressions of fear and disbelief, unable to fathom what they were seeing.
The patriarch of the Lie clan, located in the capital city, was actually slain?
Among the crowd, the young master of the Lie clan, Lie Yi, let out a mournful howl.
"Uncle!" Amidst the fearful and apprehensive cultivators, Lie Yi, crying out with a mixture of anger and sorrow, became the most conspicuous figure in the crowd.
He glared angrily at the woman in the red dress before him, as if wanting to etch her visage permanently into the depths of his soul, his eyes bloodshot.
"You have killed Uncle, the Lie clan will not let you go!"
Lie Yi roared angrily, "As a member of the Lie clan, I shall not share the same..."
Boom!
With a resounding boom, Lian Cangqing casually waved his hand. In the midst of the crowd several meters away, the infuriated nobleman in his elegant attire followed in the footsteps of his Uncle, promptly reduced to nothingness by the force of the gesture, not a single strand of hair nor a trace of breath left behind.
The entire person shattered within the cruel and fierce gust of palm force.
In the surging tide of spiritual energy that burst forth once again, Lian Cangqing coldly observed the cultivators present, speaking with a casual tone as if she was not killing high-ranking members of the esteemed Lie clan from the Youxiong Country.
Merely extinguished two bothersome dogs.
"Are there any unruly individuals who still wish to challenge?"
Looking at everyone, Lian Cangqing said coldly, "If there are any, I will eliminate them all."
