Chapter 570: Chapter 440: Hong Residence, Annihilation (Part 1)
When Military Marquis Gu Cangtian was forced to retreat, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath.
Gu Cangtian exhaled a breath of turbid air, his left arm already feeling as though it were being torn apart with pain, having just taken two blows from Hong Qingyun with a body of the Reincarnation Fifth Level suffering such heavy damage.
Seeing Gu Cangtian’s condition, Xiahou Qi and others couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Hong Qingyun glanced at the eight military Nirvana Cannons on the training ground, secretly alarmed, not expecting Xiahou Qi to have such capabilities, he knew he could no longer prolong the fight.
"Gu Cangtian, out of the many years we’ve been colleagues, today, I will let you die a fitting death, watch my newly mastered Small Divine Power Skill," said Hong Qingyun, his clothes fluttering, a tornado-like Primordial Power suddenly appearing around him.
Divine Power Skill, a special personal Martial Art that Martial Artists comprehend after encountering the Divine Power Realm.
Gu Cangtian understood, Hong Qingyun had already intended to kill, this move was a lethal strike.
A mountain faintly emerged behind him.
That mountain, majestic with overwhelming Primordial Power like a mountain torrent and tsunami.
Military Marquis Gu Cangtian’s eyes showed horror.
When the mountain appeared, a fierce light burst from Hong Qingyun’s eyes.
"Five Mountains Collapsing."
The mountain roared towards Military Marquis Gu Cangtian, pressing down on him.
Where the mountain passed, the wind went still and the clouds ceased, the crazed Primordial Power instantly enveloping the entire sky above Xia Palace.
Military Marquis Gu Cangtian gave a wry smile, knowing that today he could hardly escape death.
But he was Gu Cangtian, even in death, he must die properly.
"Hong Fang, today I’ll fight you to the death," said Gu Cangtian as Primordial Power burst forth from his body like a dam breaking, willing to blow up his Primordial Elixir to fight Hong Qingyun to death.
If Gu Cangtian also died, truly no one in Daxia could contend with Hong Qingyun anymore.
Gu Cangtian, must be saved!
"Save the Military Marquis." Seeing Gu Cangtian in peril, Xiahou Qi commanded the eight Nirvana Cannons to target Hong Qingyun.
Only to hear several loud booms.
Eight cannonballs tore through the sky, bursting with terrifying destructive force, blasting towards the mountain made of condensed Primordial Power.
The cannon fire and the Primordial Power Mountain clashed together, causing a terrible fluctuation of power that made the entire sky seem like purgatory.
The mountain shook under the cannon fire, but did not completely collapse.
Everyone was shocked by the terrifying Divine Power Skill that even the Nirvana Cannons could not destroy.
But thanks to the Nirvana Cannons, the severely wounded Gu Cangtian had a chance to catch his breath, Lan Yingwu and Nie Fengxing had already rushed up and rescued Gu Cangtian.
"Mindless ants, thinking that with Beiqing backing you, I wouldn’t dare to kill you!" Seeing that Gu Cangtian was rescued, a fierce light suddenly appeared in Hong Qingyun’s eyes.
"Nirvana Cannons, fire again!" Feng Xun saw and shouted solemnly.
Only to see the eight Nirvana Cannons form into a line, and upon Feng Xun’s command, the eight Nirvana Cannons fired again.
Hong Qingyun slightly changed color, he had realized that Feng Xun had used an Array on the Nirvana Cannons.
Although it was still the same eight Nirvana Cannons, their power was much stronger compared to the earlier scattered firing.
Hong Qingyun in mid-air, had no choice but to dodge awkwardly.
Yet before he could turn the danger into safety, the third attack of the Nirvana Cannons had already begun.
This time, it was a new Attack Formation, specifically targeting hard-to-reach spots, making it increasingly difficult for Hong Qingyun to dodge.
The fourth time, the fifth time.
Every time the Nirvana Cannon was fired, Feng Xun would swiftly change the attack formation.
This left Hong Qingyun no time to figure out how to break the formation.
With a loud bang, Hong Qingyun’s body was hit by a Nirvana Cannon shell.
Had he not already broken through to the Divine Power Realm, he might have been severely injured.
"Feng Residence’s boy, you dare to injure me, today I must kill you!" Hong Qingyun’s eyes were bloodshot, his right hand touching his abdomen, aware that the hit he had just taken had broken several of his bones.
Hong Qingyun wore a fierce look, as if longing to tear Feng Xun into ten thousand pieces.
Having dominated Daxia for so many years, he could not remember when he last got injured.
Yet today, he had suffered a great loss at the hands of a seemingly powerless young man, and his indignation was immeasurable.
"Continue the attack!" Feng Xun waved his hand, and the Nirvana Cannon once again aimed at Hong Qingyun.
"First capture Prince Feng and the Crown Prince, and seize the Nirvana Cannon." Hong Fang had always been confident in his father’s strength, but seeing his father constrained by Prince Feng, Hong Fang, in shock, had no choice but to try to seize the Nirvana Cannon forcefully.
"All members of the Ghost Sect, obey the command, defend the Nirvana Cannon, and protect Prince Feng and the Crown Prince." Hong Shisan had also been frightened by Feng Xun’s "heroic" actions just now.
This was the first time she had seen Feng Xun use formations, even incorporating the Nirvana Cannon into an attack formation—it seemed she had indeed underestimated Feng Xun before.
She had watched enough of the show; it was time to make a move.
Hong Shisan’s eyes emitted a chill.
She looked up at the sky, then suddenly leaped.
Her clothes, washed pale, resembled a rising moon against the grey sky.
"It’s you, Hong Shisan, although I am injured, you are still not qualified to take advantage of this and kill me," said Hong Qingyun, standing proudly.
"Hong Qingyun, how does the taste of the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir feel?"
Unintimidated by Hong Qingyun’s words, Hong Shisan instead grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth.
She asked this nonsensically, and Hong Qingyun frowned, puzzled about what she meant.
Hong Shisan merely smiled without saying a word, slowly extending her right hand.
On her right hand surged a wisp of black mist, snake-like in shape.
The moment the Black Cauldron Breath appeared, Hong Qingyun’s expression changed.
He felt something in his Dantian slowly changing, an unprecedented chill causing him to shiver, as if he had realized something.
"The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, was there a problem with that particular pill?"
"Hong Qingyun, discovering this now, isn’t it a bit late? The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir has no issues; I just added a little something to it," Hong Shisan said, as the Black Cauldron Breath in her palm began to twist.
Indeed, she had infused a wisp of Black Cauldron Breath into the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Elixir.
Once it enters the body of a person or a Spiritual Beast, the Black Cauldron Breath would cause astonishing destructive power.
There was no chance for Ye Lingyue to infuse the Black Cauldron Breath into Hong Qingyun on her own.
Thus, she thought of that particular Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir.
The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, obtained by Hong Qingyun by betraying Hong Mingyue, ultimately became his death warrant.
In Hong Qingyun’s Dantian, the dormant Black Cauldron Breath, as if responding to an order, immediately became active.
"You!" Hong Qingyun felt something inside him about to burst forth.
His blood vessels and organs felt as if they were about to explode from being sliced, his Primordial Power completely uncontrollable. He roared, and the entire sky trembled momentarily.
