CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 472: MASTERY OF QI OVER HEAVEN AND EARTH

Emperor Dao Third Heaven, one move that heavily injured an Eighth Heaven opponent, now facing the Peak State, he acted with composure, a black sun stunning the entire audience.

People were dumbstruck. This, damn it, is "I’m the weakest"? His master supposedly wouldn’t allow him to cultivate or pass on the Tao. And yet, he overcomes levels in combat as if it were nothing... He should act like a normal person, for crying out loud!

CRACK!

The genius from Star Sea was forced into constant retreat, his Divine Skills completely disintegrating and shattering. He turned deathly pale, seeking to flee the battlefield.

But how could Li Qi possibly let him run?

The Little Junior Uncle had given an order: slay him.

Li Qi used stealth and then moved with extreme speed, his gigantic fist landing mercilessly on the man.

SPLAT! A massive amount of blood spurted out, dyeing the sky red.

The man’s pupils shrank in fear. "Elder, save me!"

He had never felt such terror. The person before him, although not a demon cultivator, was no different from one at that moment.

Within the Star Sea ranks, an elder with a grim expression stepped forward. "You brat, how dare you?" A withered hand reached down.

Tao and the Power of Heaven and Earth erupted simultaneously. This was a powerful Saint Realm expert.

If that hand touched Li Qi, he would undoubtedly die!

Fortunately, Wang Xiaodao also acted, unleashing a skill to block him. Nonetheless, that hand still played a significant role, stalling Li Qi and allowing Star Sea’s genius to escape.

Heh!

The Star Sea Saint Realm expert sneered, "So young, yet so murderous. You truly cannot be allowed to live." Though he said this, he showed no inclination to act. He didn’t dare. After all, Wang Xiaodao, a powerful late-stage Saint Realm expert, was watching nearby. However, he felt no fear, as Star Sea had come well-prepared.

Li Qi was repelled, helplessly glancing back at Zi Ji.

Bai Yisheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Xiaodao spoke up, "Elders from Star Sea, Saint Realm experts, shamelessly intervening in a challenge between juniors. Heh... Have you no shame at all?"

"A great expert from Fairy Valley, reduced to guarding a gatehouse. Wang Xiaodao, oh Wang Xiaodao, you have truly shamed all Saint Realm experts. If I were you, I would have taken my own life by now," the Star Sea Saint Realm expert retorted derisively.

"What I guard is the City of Extinction," Wang Xiaodao looked at him.

Their sharp words, filled with accusation, crackled with hostility.

At this moment, Zi Ji furrowed her brows, wanting to step forward.

Seeing this, Bai Yisheng quickly grabbed her, whispering, "What are you doing?"

"Senior Sister said that those who go too far must be killed." Her expression was calm, her eyes clear. To her, the word ’kill’ seemed insignificant.

Bai Yisheng’s face darkened. "Star Sea’s Saint Realm experts have already intervened, and you still want to kill?" Can’t she see the situation clearly? If the Fairy Valley Elder hadn’t acted just now, Li Qi would have perished! And despite all this, she still wanted to act! It left Bai Yisheng speechless. She even kept quoting her Senior Sister. Does her Senior Sister think she can do anything?

"I must," she said seriously, nodding.

"Your Senior Sister also told you to keep a low profile," Bai Yisheng said helplessly.

"But I have been very low-profile!" Zi Ji tilted her head. "Look, I haven’t even made a move."

It was true. She hadn’t made a move. Once she did, the opponent wouldn’t even have a chance to breathe; it would be a fatal strike.

But to others, her words carried a different meaning: arrogance, presumptuousness... This girl is getting more and more conceited. What could you possibly do even if you did strike? So many powerful experts from Star Sea have come, both openly and in secret. If not for the Fairy Valley Elder’s presence, they probably would have attacked the Wuji Sect already, wouldn’t they? Can you alone withstand them? She dares to say such brash things.

"Yes, yes, yes, you’re right," Bai Yisheng sighed. "Don’t make a move now."

"Why?"

"The Star Sea experts have been here for a while but haven’t made a move. They might be waiting, or perhaps laying out plans in secret. If you go out now and something unexpected happens, you’ll become an opening for them to target the Wuji Sect!" Bai Yisheng explained.

"What’s an ’opening’?"

"..."

"Although what you’re saying makes sense, I don’t understand," Zi Ji said with a look of confusion.

At this moment, a young disciple from Fairy Valley spoke, "Bai, if she wants to go, let her. Perhaps she actually has the strength?"

"Exactly!"

"Don’t stop her."

"That’s right..."

Many disciples chimed in, their words dripping with undisguised sarcasm and mockery. Who does she think she is? Invincible? Does she plan to slay Star Sea’s geniuses in front of more than a dozen of their Saint Realm experts? Ridiculous!

"Shut up!" Bai Yisheng said with a hint of anger.

No one spoke anymore, but the looks they gave her were still filled with contempt.

Zi Ji didn’t understand.

Wang Xiaodao looked over and said, "Let’s just wait and see how things develop!"

"Yes, yes, yes, listen to Grandmaster," Bai Yisheng sighed in relief. With Grandmaster having spoken, this girl should finally quiet down, right?

However...

Zi Ji shook her head. "No. Those who go too far must be slain." With that, she broke free from Bai Yisheng and strode forward.

Sigh.

Li Qi exhaled. "Little Junior Uncle, maybe we should just let it be?"

The Star Sea Saint Realm expert had been wondering how to make a move. Unexpectedly, Zi Ji stepped forward on her own. Perfect,

he thought, narrowing his eyes and watching her approach with an anticipatory smile.

The cultivators surrounding the area had not anticipated that this young girl would be so bold as to step out alone. Is she truly unaware of the situation? Or does she think she’s invincible?

Zi Ji, who had stepped out, said only one thing, "Saint Realm First Heaven?" Before waiting for a reply, she made her move.

Circulating Qi, transforming Qi, condensing Qi.

A monumental surge of Qi burst forth from within her, condensing in her hand into a longsword made of Qi. She gazed ahead, her expression calm.

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled and rose, engulfing her.

The longsword in her hand slashed out.

Without Tao, Dharma Principles, the Power of Heaven and Earth, or Divine Power—it was purely the flow of Qi.

Qi commanded all under heaven and earth.

In that instant, her Essence Qi Spirit reached an unprecedented peak.

Only as the longsword slashed down did she speak her second sentence: "The rule of Qingfeng is to obey your Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers."

She had always believed in this principle. Therefore, her Senior Sister had said that those who go too far must be killed. The young man from earlier had to be killed, and now, this Star Sea Saint Realm expert before her also had to be slain.

The Star Sea Saint Realm expert was taken aback, never expecting this girl would actually dare to strike him.

BANG!

As her Sword Slash descended, he quickly countered, unleashing his Star Power and a mighty skill.

"You really are adorable," he said with a condescending laugh, full of confidence. He was, after all, a mighty Saint Realm expert!

However...

The moment their attacks collided, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The Qi stream pierced right through his attack, ignoring space and distance, and slammed into his body...

The Star Sea Saint Realm expert’s expression changed drastically as he stared fixedly at Zi Ji.

Terrifyingly, the fierce wind sweeping in from all around transformed into sword beams, striking at him one after another.

To his shock, he couldn’t block them. Neither his skill nor his Saint Realm defenses could stop them.

He was stunned.

The cultivators witnessing the event were also stunned.
