Is Liu Yuxin Liu Qinglin’s opponent?
Of course not. Even if she had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, even with the amplification of her blood energy, she was still no match for a mid-stage Mahayana realm powerhouse.
Not to mention, she was injured and her spiritual energy was depleted.
Liu Qinglin, enraged, struck out with his full might, his surging blood energy filling the air as he swung his sword towards Liu Yuxin.
This was a battlefield. Someone who would slaughter millions of ordinary citizens for his own personal gain would never show mercy to a traitor of his own clan.
Liu Yuxin, without yielding an inch, charged towards Liu Qinglin, engulfed in a torrent of flames.
Boom!!!
Liu Qinglin unleashed a blood energy sword projection, and Liu Yuxin retaliated with a saber strike. The two energy waves collided in mid-air, resulting in a violent explosion and a shower of bloody mist.
Flames blazed around Liu Yuxin, furiously consuming the surrounding blood energy to replenish herself, striving to exert her full strength in every blow.
They closed the distance between them. Liu Yuxin swung her saber down, and Liu Qinglin let out a cold snort, parrying with his sword. Liu Yuxin cried out in pain, her body flying backward like a kite with a severed string.
Mid-air, she was abruptly caught by a strong arm, halting her descent.
It was Wan Lei.
“You go and heal. I’ll deal with him.”
“Get lost! I’m not weaker than you!”
Liu Yuxin gritted her teeth, broke free from Wan Lei’s grasp, and charged at Liu Qinglin again with her saber.
Wan Lei gave a wry smile. Just as he was about to step forward, he looked up at the sky, where the fifth Heavenly Tribulation was gathering.
A perfect opportunity.
At this moment, Liu Yuxin had captured Liu Qinglin’s attention. Wan Lei, wielding the Hammer of Thor, flashed and used his lightning evasion technique, appearing behind Liu Qinglin just as the lightning struck from the heavens.
A surprise attack from behind, always effective.
He split the Heavenly Tribulation into two parts, one striking himself and the other descending upon Liu Qinglin’s head.
As the lightning struck, his own hammer gathered lightning, and he smashed it down onto Liu Qinglin’s head.
Boom!!!
With a deafening roar, both Wan Lei and Liu Qinglin were sent crashing to the ground.
The difference was that blood trickled from Liu Qinglin’s lips, while Wan Lei’s aura grew even more formidable. Liu Yuxin, on the other hand, was completely unharmed.
“Hmph, scoundrel, I was careless and forgot about the Heavenly Tribulation!”
Liu Qinglin rose to his feet, wiped the blood from his lips, raised his sword, and pointed it at Wan Lei.
He believed that Wan Lei had drawn Liu Yuxin’s Heavenly Tribulation onto himself, while his own Heavenly Tribulation had struck him. The increased power was due to their proximity, with the residual shockwaves from Wan Lei’s two Heavenly Tribulations affecting him.
“Wan Lei, I don’t need your help to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. Get lost, all of you, leave this place!”
Liu Yuxin shouted angrily, fearing that Wan Lei would be struck to death by the Heavenly Tribulation before Liu Qinglin could kill him.
“There’s Heavenly Tribulation here, which can strike this old scoundrel. I’m a lightning-element cultivator, so my resistance to Heavenly Tribulation is a bit stronger. I’m fine.”
Wan Lei said as he also stood up.
“Hmph, let’s see if you get struck to death first, or if I die first!”
Liu Qinglin charged at Wan Lei once more.
As the two clashed, Liu Yuxin, seeing this, did not hesitate to join the fray, fighting Liu Qinglin alongside Wan Lei.
Previously, Liu Yuxin’s combat strength was inferior to Wan Lei’s, and by a significant margin. However, she had now broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, allowing her to communicate with the power of heavenly laws. Coupled with the boost from her blood energy, her combat power was now on par with Wan Lei’s.
After fighting for a while, Wan Lei realized something was missing. He had foolishly been fighting the enemy relying solely on his own strength.
Thus, after his realization, he immediately unleashed his Chaos Domain and Sea of Thunder Domain, suppressing Liu Qinglin while also isolating his blood energy.
He then used the Blood Demon Art to absorb the opponent’s cultivation, followed by summoning wind and rain!
With this set of divine abilities, Liu Qinglin’s combat strength was greatly diminished.
Wan Lei took the lead, attacking Liu Qinglin and unleashing his Sword Immortal Manifestation, sending Liu Qinglin flying with a single blow.
Within the Sea of Thunder Domain, Wan Lei could move with instantaneous speed. Before Liu Qinglin could land, he was behind him, delivering another sword strike.
This time, Liu Qinglin was prepared, his saber igniting with black flames as he thrust it towards the forehead of the Sword Immortal Manifestation.
The Sword Immortal Manifestation’s sword strike missed, and the enemy had already closed in.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flickered past. A ferocious ghost, thirty feet tall, raised its butcher knife and slashed down.
“Ah!!!”
Liu Qinglin screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
“Well fought, Sister Xin’er.”
Wan Lei greeted her warmly with a smile.
However, Sister Xin’er did not even look at him, heading directly towards Liu Qinglin below.
Wan Lei rubbed his nose awkwardly,
“This combat strength is comparable to my Sister Xiao Yu.”
The two charged at Liu Qinglin simultaneously. With him constantly being weakened and them growing stronger, Liu Qinglin was suppressed and had no power to fight back.
A thorough beating ensued!
“Get lost!!!”
Covered in mud and blood, Liu Qinglin roared, unleashing a desperate saber strike that forced Wan Lei and Liu Yuxin back.
He was in a sorry state, covered in wounds, with his cultivation and blood energy severely depleted.
Meanwhile, Wan Lei was recovering and replenishing Liu Yuxin’s cultivation, skillfully utilizing the miraculous effects of the Blood Demon Art.
The sixth wave of Heavenly Tribulation struck. Wan Lei, as usual, shared Liu Yuxin’s portion, leaving Liu Qinglin in an even more wretched state with more severe injuries.
“Liu Qinglin, if I were you, I would have self-destructed by now. At least that would be a dignified way to die, and you wouldn’t have your head fall into my hands.”
Wan Lei sneered, taunting Liu Qinglin.
“Hmph, scoundrel, do you really think you’ve won? Look below. Is even half of your tribe still alive?
Whether my people die or yours die, it will increase the blood energy in this world. As long as the blood energy is sufficient, my people and I will grow stronger, and you will eventually fall!”
Upon hearing this, Wan Lei and Liu Yuxin looked down. Indeed, nearly half of the people in the Dengyan Tribe had fallen, and among the remaining majority, many were the elderly, weak, women, and children.
“Scoundrel, even if you kill me, what does it matter? Your tribe will be wiped out, and you will fail your mission, dying in this Land of Fate.”
“Is that so?”
Wan Lei replied calmly, his eyes fixed on the sky.
“It should be… about time.”
“About time for what?”
Facing Liu Qinglin’s question, Wan Lei did not answer, but instead pointed a hand towards the sky.
The Myriad Monster Array, which had obscured the heavens, suddenly descended with hundreds of thousands of light beams, striking each of the allied holy beasts.
