Chapter 1749: Fleeing in Panic
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Qianhuan felt as if a heavy burden had been removed from her shoulders as she gazed at the dead Black Crystal Void Spirit King.
However, her journey of vengeance was far from over. She still had an even stronger enemy—the Infernal Abyss Emperor!
Currently, the Infernal Abyss Emperor was already a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Stage. Trying to kill such a being as a sword immortal of the Return to Void Stage was as hard as trying to ascend the heavens.
However, Liu Qianhuan was different. Her apt.i.tude in the sword dao was extraordinary and unparalleled. Her stunning sword techniques could raise her combat capability immensely, and with the buff provided by her Ancient Sword Dao Physique, her strength could vaguely cross that invisible gulf.
“If I seize the right moment to land a killing blow, then perhaps it won’t be an overly difficult task…” There was a glimmer of hope in Liu Qianhuan’s eyes as she exhaled a heavy breath. Then, as if pumping herself up, she murmured, “An Lin is also only at the Return to Void Stage, yet he can already slay super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. I’m not as freakish as him, but it’s not too outlandish for me to slay a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Initial Stage, is it?”
She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Then, she turned her gaze toward the center of the Blazing Cemetery.
Resting there was a divine-rank material—the Dark G.o.d Skeleton.
Two supreme beings of the Return to Void Final Stage had both risked their lives to fight over this item. From this, it could be seen that this skeleton was an extremely valuable treasure. Although Liu Qianhuan’s aim was to exact revenge, there was no reason for her to ignore a treasure that had fallen by her feet.
Liu Qianhuan placed the Holy Death Spear into her storage ring as she walked toward the Dark G.o.d Skeleton.
She knew that there were still several pairs of eyes peering at her from a distance away. These beings were itching to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure, yet they didn’t dare to show their faces. Her action of slaying the Black Crystal Void Spirit King had already frightened these hiding enemies.
And so, without any external resistance, Liu Qianhuan placed the Dark G.o.d Skeleton into her storage ring.
Then, just as she was about to leave, her expression suddenly changed drastically. She immediately suppressed her overwhelming aura and used her slender hands to tear open the void as she attempted to flee.
“Hahaha! The Marshland Void Spirit King told me that there was a divine-rank treasure here. How come it’s gone?” An unbridled laugh traveled over from the distance. At the same time, the s.p.a.ce within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was instantly sealed. Supreme beings trapped within this spatial seal would all be unable to use their spatial powers.
The suppressive might of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator swept over from an extremely distant location. The beings who were within its range all felt a great sense of fear well up in their hearts.
Liu Qianhuan’s heart almost skipped a beat as well. A furious expression appeared on her face.
Some supreme being had been too scared to fight her, yet they had sold her off to some other super mighty being?
What a sly move! Not only do they avoid danger, but they also curry a favor… How detestable…
Liu Qianhuan was unable to use her spatial powers, so she could only flee using Sword Kinesis Flight.
Her sword flew extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown dozens of kilometers into the distance. She only needed ten more seconds to escape the region affected by the super mighty being’s spatial seal.
However, the speed of the super mighty being behind her was evidently even quicker.
In no time, the super mighty appeared in Liu Qianhuan’s field of vision.
This was a blood-red skeleton. Its head was especially large, and there was even a piercing crimson scythe in its hand. By the looks of it, this scythe was also a divine weapon. Currently, there was a taunting expression on the skeleton’s face.
“Fufufu… Isn’t this the Pavilion Lord of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Sword Pavilion, Liu Qianhuan? What an esteemed guest! I’ve yet to taste the divine sense of such an extraordinarily talented sword immortal. Since you’ve come to the Spirit Realm, it looks like I’ll finally have the fortune of tasting such a delicacy…” The blood-red skeleton chuckled eerily as it spoke.
The color drained from Liu Qianhuan’s face, and she became even more frantic as she fled toward the distance.
The skeleton chasing after her was a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton!
What kind of luck was this? The Spirit Realm was so large, yet she had just so happen to come across one of the Void Spirit Tribe’s most powerful individuals. Was her luck really that terrible?
Or perhaps she had already used up all her luck by coming across the severely wounded Black Crystal Void Spirit King? Was this the misfortune that befell after an event of great fortune?
“Fufu, so it’s Liu Qianhuan, huh? You were the one who killed the Black Crystal Void Spirit King just then, am I correct?” Another eerie laugh traveled over from behind her.
Liu Qianhuan saw a figure which caused her blood to boil in anger—the Infernal Abyss Emperor!
This was one of the two beings who had killed her mother. In other words, this was also the last of her enemies!
Initially, she had planned to kill the Infernal Abyss Emperor after it became wounded in battle against other powerful beings. She had never imagined that the Infernal Abyss Emperor would appear before her in such an excellent condition. Not only that, but it even had a Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage ally by its side!
Sure enough, the events didn’t unfold as she had envisioned in her mind.
One misstep, and she would risk eternal d.a.m.nation.
“Infernal Abyss, I’ve heard about the matters between you guys.” The G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton chuckled and said, “Qiu Hong was killed by you and Black Crystal, correct? In other words, Liu Qianhuan is here to seek revenge, yes?”
The two-headed ghost nodded. “Qiu Hong had foolishly barged into the Void Spirit Realm,” it said with a look of scorn. “Who would’ve thought that her daughter would also be equally foolish? Since she has barged into the Spirit Realm… she can’t blame me for being ruthless and sending her to reunite with her mother!”
The two-headed ghost spread its arms in mockery as it gazed at the frantically fleeing Liu Qianhuan. “Come! I’ll give you a chance to avenge your mother! Come and stab me! Hahaha…”
Liu Qianhuan gritted her teeth as she continued to flee into the distance. Her body was already trembling with fury.
“Hehe, Infernal Abyss, aren’t you bullying her by uttering such words?” The G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton chortled and said, “After all, you’re already at the Dao Integration Stage. Even if you stand here and let her attack you, there’s still a large probability that she won’t be able to injure you.”
The Infernal Abyss Emperor also roared with laughter.
The two Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings drew closer and closer to Liu Qianhuan.
“I killed Qiu Hong, so you may as well leave Liu Qianhuan to me as well. Mother and daughter should both fall prey to the same person.” A sinister expression flashed across the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s face.
The G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton nodded in approval. “The divine-rank material belongs to me then.”
“No problem,” the Infernal Abyss Emperor replied. “Her corpse is also mine. It’ll be perfect for refining into a soul puppet.”
Before the battle had even begun, the two super-mighty beings had already started to discuss how to distribute the spoils of battle.
In the eyes of Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings, Return to Void Stage supreme beings who had yet to grasp the power of the divine dao were merely a tad more powerful than ants. They didn’t deserve to be held in high regard.
“Come, fufufu…” Countless snake-like tentacles whipped toward the fleeing female as the Infernal Abyss Emperor transformed into a sinister black ghost. “Liu Qianhuan, the enemy who killed your mother is here,” it taunted. “Hurry, come and attack me!”
Just as the Infernal Abyss Emperor was roaring with laughter, an indescribable chill suddenly enveloped its entire body.
Whoosh…
An astounding sword intent erupted from Liu Qianhuan’s Great Ice Sword.
Like a dazzling burst of light, she turned around at an unimaginable speed and rapidly closed in on the Infernal Abyss Emperor.
The Infernal Abyss Emperor was given a large fright. Its countless tentacles continued to snake toward Liu Qianhuan. However, under the effects of her Sword Dao Extreme Frost domain, their speeds surprisingly began to slow down.
Liu Qianhuan dodged the countless writhing tentacles as she pressed forward with an indomitable will. At the same time, the divine sword in her hand also slashed down. Amid the white sea of extreme cold, it appeared as if countless rays of brilliant lights were refracted.
This was the ultimate death-blow that Liu Qianhuan had prepared for the Infernal Abyss Emperor. At the same time, this was also a strike that consumed all of her powers—Falling Radiance Ceasing Snow!
An indescribable sword projection ripped through heaven and earth. Meanwhile, the white, snow-like sword blade reflected a burst of fantastic colors. These colors were beautiful, like the magnificent radiance that could be seen after the ceasing of a snowstorm.
Before the Infernal Abyss Emperor could even react, the immense power of the blade had already torn its body open. Then, its bleeding body was frozen by the extreme cold!
A wail of anguish reverberated through the air.
A sword-wielding female dashed over with a burst of wind and snow. There was a boundless fire of rage burning in her beautiful purple eyes. “Didn’t you tell me to attack you? As you desire then. I’m here to kill you now!”
