There were two Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns and two Yuanfu Cultivators from the Heavenly Cripple Sect. At this moment, these two Yuanfu disciples stood on the left and right of Qin Wentian.
"Fourth-ranked Divine Weapon." That eighth-level Yuanfu disciple stared at the long spear in Qin Wentian's hands. Qin Wentian was too generous. The four of them had been assassins for many years, and the vast majority of the resources they earned were all spent on their cultivation. To them, a fourth-ranked Divine Weapon was a luxury, let alone a fourth-ranked Puppet.
However, after completing this mission, they would have one.
"Gravity." The Mandate of the eighth-level Yuanfu cultivator gushed forth. The Mandate he had comprehended was the Mandate of Great Earth, and the first level of the Mandate of Great Earth was the Mandate of Gravity. Not only that, his Mandate of Great Earth had already reached the Transformation Boundary.
In an instant, Qin Wentian felt his entire body becoming extremely heavy, and he wasn't used to it.
A terrifying demonic qi permeated the air as the power of his bloodline thrummed within his body. He wanted to use the power of his bloodline to compensate for the heaviness he felt.
"BOOM!" That eighth-level Yuanfu cultivator moved as a long spear appeared in his hands. The spear was fast and heavy, causing the hearts of those who saw it to pound. If this spear landed on their bodies, even if they didn't die, they would be heavily injured.
The long spear in his hand stabbed out explosively. Although he wasn't used to the heaviness of the spear, Qin Wentian's arm was still extremely stable. Black light flashed as a black dragon lunged out. The long spear collided with the spear, causing a thunderous boom to echo out. Qin Wentian only felt his internal organs trembling as the heaviness of the spear was transmitted into his body, causing him to groan in agony.
The strength of an eighth-level Yuanfu cultivator and a fourth-level Yuanfu cultivator were on a completely different level. If it weren't for his tyrannical physique, he would have been heavily injured in a single strike.
"Fourth-ranked Divine Weapons are so troublesome to forge." Qin Wentian silently cursed in his heart, as he frenziedly channeled his Astral Energy into the long spear, forming a connection with the Divine Inscriptions within. The fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions within the spear weren't inscribed by him, and hence, in order to activate them, he would need an immense amount of Astral Energy to unleash a fourth-ranked attack. And this was under the condition that his senses were so strong that he could clearly sense the intricacies of the Divine Inscriptions.
But in a battle, his opponents wouldn't give him too much time. After the eighth-level Yuanfu cultivator unleashed his first strike, the second spear strike already arrived. This spear strike was even more ferocious than the first.
"Earth Wave!" His spear was akin to a dragon, exploding forth as a terrifying wave of pressure gushed forth. His opponent's Astral Soul was released, it was actually a heavenly earth-type Astral Soul, causing his entire body to be enveloped in a layer of heaviness.
Qin Wentian sliced open the skin on his finger, abruptly stabbing it into the air. Instantly, the Yellow Springs Monument manifested, slamming towards his opponent, blocking the Great Earth Ripple. With the Yellow Springs Monument manifested, the other sixth-level Yuanfu cultivator no longer had anything to fear. He instantly acted. Like a phantom, a terrifying ghost-like claw slashed out towards Qin Wentian's throat, giving off an eerie feeling.
The Earth Wave and the Yellow Springs Monument collided, yet Qin Wentian abruptly turned his gaze over. His ice-cold eyes swept over, colliding with his opponent's eyes. In an instant, the two of them stared at each other, as though the power of their Wills intersected in the air, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. His opponent could also use his eyes to attack?
The ghost-like claw closed in, its five fingers gleaming with a black light as it grabbed towards Qin Wentian's neck.
However, at this moment, a terrifying demonic qi gushed forth from Qin Wentian. The demonic bloodline of the Supreme Primordial Demonic Beasts in his body erupted forth, permeating the entire space.
"Sleep." Qin Wentian's Mandate was unleashed, causing the eyes of his opponent to narrow as he felt a sense of drowsiness.
The ghost-like claw swept past Qin Wentian's throat, only to discover that Qin Wentian's arm was actually covered in a layer of demonic scales, incomparably tough.
"Huala!" The ghost-like claw slashed out, shattering the scales, causing fresh blood to flow. However, Qin Wentian's black spear pierced out in a straight line, forcing his opponent to retreat with explosive speed. But how could he make it in time? Executing the Garuda Movement Technique, Qin Wentian manifested a pair of garuda wings on his back. Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as the long spear pierced through his opponent's throat.
"This defense …" Shu Ruanyu, who was watching from afar, felt her heart trembling in fear. Qin Wentian's arm was actually covered in demonic scales, his defensive prowess was terrifying to the extreme. It was as though the Yellow Springs Monument had eyes of its own, frenziedly clashing against the opponent at the eighth level of Yuanfu, giving Qin Wentian enough time to kill his opponent.
"Junior Brother!" With a howl of rage, Qin Wentian only felt his back trembling violently as his countenance paled. He spun around and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Yellow Springs Monument. Instantly, the blood qi emanating from the Yellow Springs Monument grew even stronger, unceasingly rumbling sounds echoed out, causing his opponent to be in the same state of discomfort as him.
Qin Wentian was restricted by gravity, while his opponent's heart and blood were still beating.
The aura exuded by the black spear grew more and more terrifying. Earlier, when Qin Wentian's spear pierced through his opponent's throat, he didn't activate the Divine Inscriptions within. If he wanted to activate the fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions, he would need to absorb a terrifying amount of Astral Energy. If it was a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, they would be able to do so in an instant, but his cultivation base was too low.
"I want you to die." The glow of his opponent's Astral Souls grew brighter and brighter, as a layer of earth-type armor materialized around his body. The killing intent in the eyes of the eighth-level Yuanfu cultivator was terrifying to behold. His body moved once more, and Qin Wentian pointed out with his finger, causing the Yellow Springs Monument to advance madly, while he himself retreated backwards.
At this moment, his opponent allowed the Yellow Springs Monument to tremble as much as he wanted. The earth-type armor seemed to be able to reduce the impact of the tremors.
"Puchi!" The long spear was as fast as lightning, carrying with it a terrifying might. Qin Wentian's speed was greatly affected by the eight-fold gravitational force, and there was no way for him to evade.
Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a cold light. He folded his wings as demonic qi towered up the skies, enveloping his entire body within.
Peng …
The terrifying shockwaves instantly destroyed the demonic Qi. The long spear pierced straight into the wings, and a malevolent expression could be seen on Qin Wentian's face. The long spear pierced forwards, causing piercing sounds to ring out unceasingly, wanting to take Qin Wentian's life.
"BREAK FOR ME!" With a howl of rage, his wings ruptured as the demonic qi dissipated. Qin Wentian's silhouette appeared once more as the long spear pierced through his left chest, almost piercing through his heart. However, Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a terrifying killing intent. At the instant his wings ruptured, the long spear had already left Qin Wentian's hands as a terrifying black light engulfed the heavens and earth. The terrifying might contained within the spear was simply too terrifying, as it shot straight towards his opponent's throat.
That person retreated by reflex. With a thunderous boom, the Yellow Springs Monument directly imprinted itself on his back, causing his countenance to turn deathly pale. A beam of black light flashed, and with a light sound, the long spear pierced into the center of his brows. A terrifying sinister aura erupted forth as his body directly exploded. He died.
Qin Wentian pulled the long spear out from his chest, his robes stained red with fresh blood. Coughing a few times, Qin Wentian's eyes were as cold as ice.
"That fellow doesn't care about his life." Shu Ruanyu was somewhat taken aback by Qin Wentian's ruthlessness during battle. A fourth-level Yuanfu cultivator actually managed to kill an eighth and sixth level Yuanfu cultivator. Although he had borrowed the power of a fourth-ranked Divine Weapon, as well as the power of the Yellow Springs Monument, Qin Wentian's ruthlessness had also been displayed. If that long spear had been just a little bit more accurate, that person would have already died.
Naturally, she could also tell that even without the aid of the Divine Weapon and the Yellow Springs Monument, Qin Wentian's combat prowess was already extremely terrifying. His combat prowess far exceeded his cultivation base. She was thinking that even without the aid of the Divine Weapon, Qin Wentian would still be able to kill someone at the sixth level of Yuanfu. However, the Astral Energy in his body had been completely depleted when he used that spear of darkness. After all, his cultivation base was only at the fourth level of Yuanfu.
"Go and kill him." Over at Hua Xiaoyun's side, his protector stood by his side. There were a few Puppets guarding him, one of them was a fourth-ranked Puppet while the rest were all third-ranked Puppets.
"Young Master, your safety is of utmost importance," the protector indifferently stated.
"If you can't even deal with a few Puppets, what's the point of keeping you around?" Hua Xiaoyun unhappily replied.
"Young Master, I can easily deal with the third-ranked Puppets, but they are only watching you from afar. That fourth-ranked Puppet is much more valuable compared to a fourth-ranked Divine Weapon, and it's extremely difficult to forge. The Divine Imprints inscribed within are all fourth-ranked attack-type Divine Imprints, equivalent to the innate techniques of Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. Other than the fact that it's not as agile as a human, it doesn't have much of a disadvantage. If it wasn't for the sake of protecting Young Master, I would naturally have a way to deal with it, but …"
The protector didn't continue his sentence, causing Hua Xiaoyun's countenance to turn even more unsightly. In the end, was he hinting that he was useless?
"Let me help you deal with these third-ranked Puppets." A voice drifted over, as a masked silhouette dashed towards the third-ranked Puppets. He unsheathed his sword, and as the sword descended, a cold light flashed, incomparably sharp to the extreme. One of the third-ranked Puppets lifted its arms to defend, only to see the sword gleaming with an eerie light.
Fast, fast to the extreme. A crisp sound rang out as the Puppet was directly sliced into two.
"What a terrifying sword." The protector's countenance stiffened, he didn't know where this masked silhouette came from.
Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened. This third-ranked Puppet was ultimately not as powerful as the golden-armored Puppets he had obtained from the Refinement Grounds. Regardless of attack or defense, they were all inferior.
This assassin seemed to have been with the coachman earlier. Who would have thought that he would be so powerful?
"You're dead for sure." Shu Ruanyu walked forwards, arriving beside Qin Wentian. "Evidently, he's here for you. Initially, he wanted to leave you to the four assassins, but who would have thought that your combat prowess would be so impressive. After he deals with the Puppets, he would definitely come after you. Those Puppets should be your final trump card, right?"
"I don't think we're acquainted with each other, right?" Qin Wentian stared at the red-robed maiden in front of him. This maiden's silhouette was extremely beautiful, yet he didn't seem to recognize her at all.
"It's enough that I know you. Since you are going to die sooner or later, why don't you die in my hands?" Shu Ruanyu's Astral Soul flickered, as the Shadow of Flames flickered.
Stellar Martial Cultivators were used to releasing their third Astral Soul during combat, because their third Astral Soul was the most powerful. Shu Ruanyu's third Astral Soul originated from the 4th Heavenly Layer, and was filled with a violent fiery aura.
"Are you so confident that you can defeat me?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a cold light, as his demonic qi intensified.
"I'm afraid you don't have much Astral Energy left in you, right? It's not even enough for you to activate the strongest attack of your fourth-ranked Divine Weapon." Shu Ruanyu faintly spoke, her countenance filled with arrogance.
Since they met, she might as well avenge her uncle.
