Chapter 497: 497: Terrifying Strike_1
Atop this floating island, the woman called Snow Lady by Ancestor Dongfang became pale at the sight of Ancestor Dongfang spitting out blood.
Clearly, she did not expect that Qin Changqing would be so powerful. Initially, in her opinion, Qin Changqing was at most in the second-tier decline. Even if he were to cross the tier of the third-tier decline celestial being, it was improbable.
The Five Declines of Heaven-Men was such that each decline is more terrifying than the one before.
However, it now seemed that Qin Changqing might have already gone through the third tier. The injury Ancestor Dongfang had sustained was severe.
This strength filled Snow Lady’s heart with dread.
Ancestor Dongfang was continuously casting magic, trying hard to resist the internal injury.
At this point, he didn’t even want to speak, because speaking would disrupt the flow of his internal energy.
Qin Changqing was, however, taking one step at a time towards the floating island.
His unhurried approach was an immense psychological pressure on Ancestor Dongfang and Snow Lady. Behind them, Dongfang Yue was already in panic.
The blow that Qin Changqing had just unleashed was terrifying. If Ancestor Dongfang had chosen to evade that attack instead of blocking it, he and his mother would have been reduced to ashes.
“Dongfang Fu, grievances and debts have their respective owners. This time, I am here just for him. Considering that you used to be my senior, you can still step aside. As for Dongfang Yue, if you want to flee, you can leave right now,”
“I’ll only give this chance once.”
Qin Changqing didn’t attack again, his voice echoed around the field.
“Senior Qin is truly benevolent.”
“Yes, even though his wife was once from the East Family, it’s commendable that someone as powerful as Senior Qin did what he did.”
“Ancestor Dongfang is stubborn. Why is he so protective of a woman? Isn’t his life and reputation more important?”
“Yes, it’s wonder how he cultivated such a strong heart.”
Qin Changqing’s words earned the admiration of many cultivators as expected.
Meanwhile, some other cultivators expressed disdain and confusion on why Ancestor Dongfang was so protective of this woman.
As Qin Changqing got closer, his presence already dominated the area around the floating island, despite not engaging in a physical confrontation.
The look on Dongfang Fu’s face turned grim.
He realised that he can’t beat Qin Changqing.
Even if he exhausted all of his resources, at best he would just be able to escape. Qin Changqing did not appear to feel constrained by the rules that the Immortal Alliance Headquarters should not interfere.
Hadn’t Qin Changqing attacked already? Yet the Immortal Alliance has yet to make a move.
The Immortal Alliance consists of many Immortal Gates. The elders and higher-ups of the Alliance basically came from various Holy Lands.
These Holy Lands themselves are actively seeking to form relationships with Qin Changqing.
And in this matter, Qin Changqing is the rightful party.
Especially now that he has displayed such terrifying strength, he has the upper hand.
Even if the Immortal Alliance wants to intervene, they would probably wait till the very end and make a symbolic appearance.
The rules, by their very nature, are to constrain the weak.
When you are strong enough, all the rules of this world are subject to your words.
Your word, becomes the rule.
“Dongfang Fu, if you abandon me, don’t bother thinking about passing your third decline.”
Seeing the solemn look in Ancestor Dongfang’s eyes, Snow Lady quickly spoke out, guessing some of his thoughts.
Behind her, a struggle flickered in Dongfang Yue’s eyes.
Because Qin Changqing was also giving him a chance.
He must be struggling with whether or not to leave. If he didn’t leave and couldn’t block the attack, he might be killed here.
But if he left, he would lose all his prestige and could never lift his head again.
Though right now, his pride has already taken a hit.
A single sentence from Qin Changqing had given this family various thoughts.
From the expressions on their faces, Qin Changqing made some guesses.
Ancestor Dongfang might be getting tired of this woman, but even if he faced humiliation in front of everyone, he hadn’t chosen to part ways.
It indicated the importance of this woman to him.
It’s highly possible that without this woman, it would not have been easy for Ancestor Dongfang to pass through the decline kalpa.
From what Qin Changqing understood, Ancestor Dongfang crossed the first decline in just three thousand years, and the second decline, in just over a thousand years.
This timeline was indeed telling.
“So you say, you are unwilling to give her up? Then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Seeing that Ancestor Dongfang was still unable to make a decision, Qin Changqing grew impatient.
His Six Harmonies Mirror suddenly brightened.
The next second, a horrifying attack was unleashed, the Six Harmonies Sword was struck out at the same time.
This attack was even more fierce and huge. Even the sun in the sky temporarily lost its color. Nothing was left between the heavens and the earth, only Qin Changqing’s attack.
This attack was a formidable one that Qin Changqing launched using the Sun leaving fire stored in his Six Harmonies Mirror.
Ancestor Dongfang’s face changed.
He wouldn’t be able to block this attack.
“Leave!”
Without any hesitation, Ancestor Dongfang disappeared instantly from the floating island. However, he didn’t leave Snow Lady or Dong Fang Yue behind, taking them both with him.
“Not good!”
Snow Lady realised something was wrong and her face changed.
The attack from Qin Changqing, after they had left, was suddenly aimed at their flying boat.
It seemed as if Qin Changqing was venting his anger.
The flying boat Ancestor Dongfang had arrived in was still on the floating island. The boat was unusually large and delicate, filled with prohibition formations inside.
Even a Mahayana cultivator could not peek inside without breaking the flying boat.
Qin Changqing’s attack would surely destroy the flying boat.
Even though there was a prohibition formation to protect the floating islands, the formation had its limitations. For cultivators going through a kalpa, the prohibition is merely slight protection.
After all, these floating islands were only used during the meeting and were not considered crucial areas.
Qin Changqing’s attack was too fast.
Seeing Qin Changqing’s looming attack, a black shield surged out of the flying boat.
But right after that, the black shield was directly blasted away.
As soon as the shield was blasted away, several defense light curtains quickly expanded.
But Qin Changqing’s attack was so strong that these defense curtains shattered crazily.
“Damn it, Chiyan Demon Hand, block it for me!”
Inside the boat, an enormous hand engulfed in black flames charged out and met Qin Changqing’s attack head-on.
At the same time, several divine senses from inside the flying boat shot towards the distance.
Qin Changqing’s attack was too sudden, and the individuals who were hiding inside had not cast their divine sense out to avoid detection.
After all, there were many powerful beings here. Some might be stronger than you, scanning the surroundings with their divine senses, yet you wouldn’t be able to perceive them.
Under such circumstances, they weren’t able to use the teleportation magic to escape in time.
