CHAPTER 998: CHAPTER 689: INVINCIBLE AT THE IMMORTAL LIFE STAGE

He Qing said coldly, "Regardless of whether the Dao Stone is with us, I remember the transaction price for a Dao Stone at the Divine Feather Commercial Tower is three hundred zhang. Daoist Cai, spending fifty zhang of earth to buy a Dao Stone, isn’t that a bit of a daydream?"

"Hahaha! You bought it for three hundred zhang, I spend fifty zhang, and the remaining two hundred fifty zhang count as a favor—"

Cai Kun lazily fiddled with his long hair and asked with a meaningful look, "Do you all think that the favor of Cai Kun is not worth this price?"

"Eh? Your favor is worth two hundred fifty?"

Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but mumble on the side.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached Cai Kun’s ear clearly.

Cai Kun squinted his eyes, and no one had ever dared to be so rude to him. This had already stirred his intent to kill!

"What kind of thing are you to dare speak in front of me?"

Cai Kun’s gaze flashed with a sharp aura, carrying a menacing murderous intent, transforming into a substantial beam that quickly rushed towards Xiang Beifei!

"Be careful!"

He Qing immediately stood in front of Xiang Beifei, preparing to block the attack for him.

However, the attack was silently dissolved with just a gentle touch from He Qing.

"What’s going on?"

He Qing was slightly stunned, feeling a bit strange. Logically, Cai Kun’s attack shouldn’t be easily blocked; where did it go wrong?

Yet she had no time to think more and instead looked towards the absent-minded Xiang Beifei, who seemed naive and unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Don’t speak recklessly; this person’s strength is very powerful, we can’t beat him."

He Qing whispered a warning to Xiang Beifei and also pulled her father behind her, protecting the two.

Cai Kun was said to be invincible in the mid-eternal life phase, ranking ninety-eighth on the Earth Ranking. He Qing herself was also in mid-eternal life phase, but even within the same phase, the gap was significant, and she had no confidence at all.

But right now, she couldn’t retreat. Her strength was higher than her father’s and this human child, so naturally, she had to stand at the front.

"Tell me, will you choose to sell the Dao Stone to me, or shall I capture you and then sell it to myself?"

The aura around Cai Kun intensified, and behind him, a faint immense Kun shadow emerged, engulfing the sky with overwhelming pressure, intimidating He Qing and them!

"If you choose the second option, the price will have to be discounted!"

Cai Kun’s sinister laughter reverberated around He Yunfang and his daughter, striking directly at their souls, making them shudder uncontrollably!

Such a powerful Kun Race person!

"Do we have no choice but to give it?"

He Yunfang’s heart was unwilling, unable to remain calm.

The Kun Race is a very special and advanced race that their Crane Race could not afford to provoke!

Though they obtained the Dao Stone, they were now in a dilemma.

If they didn’t give it, they might not leave alive today.

"Xiao Qing..." He Yunfang hesitated, looking at his daughter, wanting to ask her opinion.

"We can’t give it!" He Qing resolutely said, "Father, even if we agree, do you think they would spare us?"

Her gaze focused on Tang Yingxin.

If Tang Yingxin appeared with Cai Kun, they certainly must have made some deal. Without much thought, it was clear that Tang Yingxin coveted the Divine Phoenix Bone obtained by their Crane Race!

Even if they handed over the Dao Stone, Cai Kun would not spare them.

He Yunfang realized this too, gritting his teeth, "Then what do we do? He is claimed to be invincible in the mid-eternal life phase, it’s too challenging for us to deal with him."

"We must fight! Father, you and Xiang Beifei take the Dao Stone and leave first, I’ll buy you some time." He Qing said calmly.

"No way! We’ll leave together!"

He Yunfang hurriedly rejected this proposal; as a father, how could he leave his daughter behind to fend for herself?

"Father, now is not the time for emotional decisions! You should understand, either two of us leave, or none of us do!"

He Qing shouted!

Buzz!

An Immortal Crane shadow erupted from He Qing, and a powerful aura instantly emanated, pushing He Yunfang and Xiang Beifei away, sending them flying a thousand zhang in an instant.

Sure, here is the translation:

"Ah, seriously."

Xiang Beifei stabilized his stance from afar. He had been observing Cai Kun’s system interface just moments before, but before he could speak, He Qing had already pushed him aside without a second thought.

But his gaze remained fixed on Cai Kun. In his eyes, the Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect behind Cai Kun had already condensed into a system interface.

[Dao Executor: Cai Kun]

[Dao Embryo: Kun Dao]

[Dao Phase: Mid-stage Immortality]

[Dao Embryo Introduction: A combination of Fish Dao and Roc Dao, capable of appearing in two different forms, able to counter various Avian Clans and Fish Clans!]

"Kun Race, this race is truly peculiar."

Suddenly inspired, he wanted to see what was so formidable about this so-called Kun Race.

——

——

He Qing’s action had already made her stance clear.

She would never compromise!

Because if she did compromise, the outcome wouldn’t be any better!

"It seems you’ve chosen the hard way over the easy way—of course, your choice is correct. I wasn’t planning on letting you leave alive in the first place, hahaha!"

Cai Kun lazily lifted his eyelids, looking at the Crane Dao Dharma Aspect glowing behind He Qing, a sneer appearing on his lips.

Boom!

The terrifying Kun Shadow surged forth once again, looking like a massive flying fish. This fish was rolling, surpassing He Qing’s Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect in both momentum and form.

Crack!

Two powerful and terrifying auras collided with a bang. The momentum He Qing had gathered shattered instantly, like snow melting away, without even a bit of resistance.

Both were at the mid-stage Immortality, yet the Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspect of the Kun Race was vastly superior to the Crane Dao, the difference like that between heaven and earth.

He Qing took a deep breath, turned around, and the Divine Phoenix Bone surged forth, transforming into a beam of seven-colored light falling upon her right arm!

Screech!

A crisp phoenix cry shot straight into the sky. He Qing’s Immortal Crane Dharma Aspect was augmented by the Divine Phoenix Bone, and the once pure white right wing had its feathers lengthened, constantly flashing with a kaleidoscope of lights, quickly coalescing into a magnificent phoenix’s long wing!

With the embodiment of the Divine Phoenix Bone, He Qing’s aura also kept climbing, charging at Cai Kun once more!

"So, this is the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix? How interesting."

Seeing the colorful phoenix wing on He Qing, Cai Kun also felt it was extremely mysterious.

His cultivation of the Kun Dao involved two forms: a large fish and a roc. The roc was ranked below the phoenix, and if he could obtain the Divine Phoenix Bone, in his roc form, he might also be able to unleash the power of the phoenix!

With this thought, a glint of greed appeared in Cai Kun’s eyes.

"I want that too."

His eyes turned extremely fiery, and he couldn’t help but lick his lips with his crimson tongue, then waved his hands once more!

The Kun Shadow Dharma Aspect stretched against the wind, extending thousands of miles, vast and terrifying. Looking out, it seemed as if the whole void was enveloped by this bizarre flying fish, and the aura became exceedingly oppressive. Compared to the imposing Kun Shadow, He Qing’s Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspect appeared very small.

Whoosh!

The Kun Shadow Dharma Aspect swung its gigantic long wing, slapping down toward He Qing. The coverage of this strike was exceedingly vast, giving He Qing absolutely no chance to dodge!

Not only that, but this strike also encompassed He Yunfang and Xiang Beifei.

"Not good!"

He Qing exclaimed softly as her phoenix right wing suddenly swung toward He Yunfang and Xiang Beifei’s direction. In an instant, the overwhelming Spiritual Power transformed into seven-colored light, with all colors being drawn together, turning into a fierce wind that swirled around them, pushing them rapidly out of the Kun Shadow’s range!

Yet she couldn’t dodge in time herself, as the violent aura instantly struck her!

Bang!

He Qing was sent flying ten thousand feet away; her face turned pale, and the colorful wings on her Immortal Crane Dharma Aspect dimmed as if they had lost their power, becoming dull in an instant.

She still couldn’t fully activate the power of the Divine Phoenix Bone, unable to perfectly merge her bloodline with the Divine Phoenix Bone.
