Chapter 256: Chapter 256: No Time to Kill the Xuanji Sect Master, Li Qingyao Leaves!

This finger thrust emitted a roar like that of a dragon.

Dragons and phoenixes are both divine beasts in this world.

Yet the energy from Li Qingyao’s thrust, compared to the Fire Phoenix Talisman earlier used by the Xuanji Sect Master, was imbued with an entirely different divine beast’s aura!

"This... impossible!"

The sect master’s own talismans hadn’t achieved such an effect, but the opponent’s casual flick had such might. The Xuanji Sect Master’s face immediately changed!

As the dragon’s roar approached, a grey-white True Dragon Phantom surged out from between Li Qingyao’s fingers!

They were already quite close to each other.

The Xuanji Sect Master had no way to dodge and could only brace herself to face it!

"Xuanji Palm!"

She nearly roared, confronting it by forcefully infusing her palm with Spiritual Power.

This was a measure of desperation, between being injured and dying, she would naturally choose the latter!

With a resonant dragon cry, the Xuanji Sect Master was sent hurtling back!

"You think you can compete with me? Merely the Xuanji Sect Master, if it were a Core Formation Stage cultivator from the Qingyun Sect, I would actually yield them some respect," Li Qingyao said disdainfully.

In the same realm, strength could vastly differ depending on the sect one hailed from.

To say without exaggeration,

a Core Formation Stage cultivator from the Qingyun Sect could defeat three female cultivators of the same level from the Xuanji Sect!

Limited by their cultivation techniques and the cultivation grounds.

The path of cultivation values companions, law, and land.

The Xuanji Sect was no match for the Qingyun Sect in any aspect.

Even their sect’s treasured daughters would eventually become nothing more than "consorts" to the disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

The Xuanji Sect Master didn’t expect to be so effortlessly defeated by Li Qingyao. In a fit of rage, she pulled out another stack of talismans!

Unable to stand, her circulation of Spiritual Power was delayed, and to cope, she could only rely on external forces!

Just like Shang Xiu and Liu Ruyan back then!

"In the end, it’s just an external force," Li Qingyao said with contempt, shaking her head in cold disdain.

Then, she brought two fingers together and pointed lightly.

"Divine Spear Descends!"

This was a move within the Hateful Heaven Spear Technique that Lu Chen had cultivated, which he had never known.

At the tips of Li Qingyao’s fingers, a radiant burst of golden light suddenly appeared!

Wherever the golden light passed, all talismans exploded with a bang!

Whether they had formed or not.

The face of the Xuanji Sect Master turned ashen. Relying on the brief respite gained from the talismans, she had managed to catch her breath.

But if she were to block this attack, she would end up gravely injured!

By then, how could she be an opponent to Li Qingyao?

But at that moment,

Li Qingyao’s brow suddenly furrowed, her pretty face turning cold.

She gave the Xuanji Sect Master a fierce look, and her figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

After a while,

within the crater,

Li Qingyao’s body surged with Spiritual Power, continually wielding the spear technique without a spear in hand!

After she left, numerous worm-like creatures appeared, squirming densely.

They greedily clung to Lu Tianren’s body, feeding on his essence blood!

But these worms were unable to survive even a breath’s time after Li Qingyao returned; they dissolved into a mist of blood under the influence of her Spiritual Power!

"Lu Tianren, if you’re not dead, make a noise!"

Tears streaming down her face, Li Qingyao rushed over with a hoarse voice.

"Squeak—"

Lu Tianren opened his mouth and indeed made a squeaking noise.

Li Qingyao broke into a smile through her tears, then bit her beautiful finger until it bled and extended it into his mouth.

Lu Tianren sucked on Li Qingyao’s blood like an infant starved for days.

Without a blood replenishment, he feared he wouldn’t make it through the night.

For a full half hour, Lu Tianren opened his mouth and weakly said, "Did you help our son out of trouble?"

"Sort of," Li Qingyao stared at him and shook her head, "I used ’Divine Spear Descends,’ and she’s either dead or severely wounded."

Lu Tianren’s brow furrowed, "A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, she’s at the Core Formation Stage. She could kill our son with just a little finger."

Li Qingyao looked on in a daze, silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Aren’t you afraid that after I leave, those evil creatures will come back to suck your blood? If I go now, you’ll be sucked dry!"

"And you’d leave our son in danger?"

At that counter-question, Li Qingyao actually laughed, "I don’t know about other talents, but when it comes to running away, there’s no one better than your son! By now, he’s probably run into the Metal Element formation gap!"
