Chapter 110: The Other Party’s Team Member

Yi Qing paused. He considered the voice he had heard, but said nothing in reply.

The other party became much more aggressive – he looked positively ready to kill. Yet, he always reduced his Immortal Qi by half just before he hit Yi Qing each time. Without the help of his Immortal Qi, the immortal could only count on his sword techniques. In this regard, Yi Qing was comparable to him. Luan Xu became increasingly anxious, “Hurry up, what are you waiting for? Attack my right hip.”

Yi Qing frowned and transmitted a response, “Why are you helping me?”

“I have no time to explain…” the other party’s voice became more and more panicked. “I cannot let you die here. Leave this place and you will find out in the future.”

“No!” Yi Qing rejected. He did not pursue any further why the other party wanted to help him, “If I leave, the hundreds of cultivators behind me will surely die.”

“You can’t help them even if you remain here,” Luan Xu’s voice was trembling. “Among the five people behind me, four are Mystic Immortals. You are no match for them. Leave this place and find your master.”

“You know my master?” Yi Qing was surprised.

“Of course!” Luan Xu exclaimed. “Let me tell you the truth: actually, I’m…”

“Luan Xu, what are you doing?” Before Luan Xu could finish, one of the Mystic Immortals interrupted him as if he could tell that Luan Xu was up to something. “You’re taking far too long to cleanse this sword cultivator from the Lower Realm. You’re a Golden Immortal indeed. I have no time to waste – I cannot afford to look at you struggle any further.” He waved his hand and a golden beam shot toward the group of people.

Yi Qing reacted immediately. He turned toward the immortals and summoned all his Spirit Qi to form a dragon which flew toward the golden beam. With a loud crash, the golden beam stopped right in front of the defensive array. Yi Qing gathered what was left of his Spirit Qi and tried to destroy the golden beam.

“Hmph, you think too much of yourself,” the immortal tutted. With another wave of his hand, he produced another golden beam which was headed for Yi Qing alone.

Yi Qing had no time to run, and the defensive array could not move to protect him either. He watched as the golden beam headed straight for his body.

“Be careful!” Luan Xu panicked and ran forward, summoning a defensive array to block the second golden beam.

The Mystic Immortal’s expression fell. Then, he broke into a sinister grin, “Luan Xu, are you betraying His Excellency?”

“I…” He paled instantly and began to tremble. “No… I’m not…”

“Don’t forget that the reason you are still alive today is that His Excellency showed mercy on you. Otherwise, you would be suffering the same fate as them. Yet, you’re ungrateful and showing pity for these ants.” The immortal’s expression turned cold as he sneered, “Forget it, ants will always be ants. You will never become a true immortal. Since you want to court death, I will grant your wish and cleanse this place while I’m at it.”

“No!” Luan Xu’s eyes widened in panic.

It was too late. The Mystic Immortal gestured toward the others behind him, “Let’s clean this place quickly and leave nothing behind.”

The five of them invoked their powers and give golden beams merged into a huge one. The huge golden beam carried a strong destructive suppressive force which headed straight for the group of people. Even the Golden Immortal Luan Xu was forced to take several steps back.

The defensive array that Xuan Yuanyu and the others had used all of their strength to form began to crack under the suppressive force. They indeed felt like ants under such a formidable force – they fell to their knees, their cultivation unable to withstand the pressure. Immediately, they began to bleed profusely as their cultivation began to seep out of their bodies. They felt their bodies begin to break down under the immense pressure.

Even Yi Qing could not stand under such a force. The spirit sword in his hand split into two. He watched as the golden beam continued to head toward them, ready to turn them into ash.

Suddenly, everything went dark. A figure appeared in front of Yi Qing. She used her hand to block off the golden beam which seemed to shatter and fall to pieces in front of Shen Ying. The crowd felt the strong immortal suppression begin to dissipate.

“Master!” Yi Qing raised his head in surprise. Thank God she made it.

“Hey, Chef!” She stretched out a hand and patted his head, commending him, “You did well. Good job. You can leave the rest to me.”

“Yes, Master!” His nerves slowly relaxed along with the tense muscles in his body. Thoroughly exhausted, he fell to the floor and sat.

Behind him, Luan Xu and the Xuan Yuan family heaved a sigh of relief. They were so touched that they wanted to burst into tears. She’s finally here!

“Who are you?” The Mystic Immortal who was floating in the air, suddenly asked. He was evidently shocked as he sized up the woman standing in front of him. She could block off his golden beam that the five of them had formed with just one hand.

He was a Mystic Immortal, yet he could not at all perceive how and when she got to this place.

Shen Ying finally raised her head to address the five immortals floating in the air. She did not answer his question, but narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke slowly, “Who said… not to leave anything behind?”

She paused. Without waiting for a response, she continued.

“Alright. I’ll grant your wish.”

The five of them paused and suddenly felt her earth-shattering murderous intent directed right at them. It was as if they had been thrown into a sea in winter – their hearts began to freeze up. Inside, they felt their instincts shouting at them to run away.

The Mystic Immortals suppressed their panic. One of them laughed humorlessly, “Pfft, a mere cultivator from the Lower Realm who possesses a wee bit of talent thinks that she is might enough to threaten us. Today, you…”

Dong!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud noise. Another Mystic Immortal beside him suddenly fell down to the ground, obviously lifeless.

!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ

“Junior Brother Hao!” The Mystic Immortal shouted. He turned to face the woman standing opposite him, who was still looking calm and steady. “What exactly is this…”

Dong!

With another loud sound, another immortal beside him fell to the ground.

“Yan Yu! What exactly is happen-”

Dong!

A third.

“You…” he could not contain the panic any longer. He turned to Shen Ying once again and shouted, “What have you done?”

Dong!

A fourth.

In just seconds, only one was left floating in the air. Yet, he had no idea what happened or who was responsible. An unspeakable fear began to rise up to his throat as he stared wide-eyed at the woman on the ground, who was still standing perfectly still.

Is she really just another cultivator from the Lower Realm?

“Who exactly are-”

Before he could ask his question, he felt a gust of wind blow past his ear. A voice spoke in a soft and gentle tone, yet the message seemed to come straight from hell. “It’s your turn.”

The next moment, there was an excruciating pain shooting throughout his body. His immortal bones shattered and he heard a loud bang just beside his ears. He collapsed down on the floor, only understanding what had happened as the life left his body.

The woman was not in fact standing perfectly still. It was just that she had moved so fast that she managed to kill them in a blink of an eye, so that they did not even notice it was her.

This frightening power… was unbelievable!

Within a mere 30 seconds, the immortals from the Upper Realm who forced the entire Xuan Yuan family into a corner were dead. It happened so quickly that the crowd could not even wrap their heads around what was happening. Xuan Yuanyu felt like he was in a trance. Suddenly, he thought, when Great Immortal Shen attacked the Xuan Yuan Family the last time, how much power did she hold back?

“I’m so tired!” Shen Ying dusted her hands and bent over like a shrimp. She was a lazy sloth once again – the embodiment of laziness. She turned around wanting to make orders to her chef when she caught side of Luan Xu, who was standing beside her. “Hey, there’s one more.”

She stood upright once again and got ready to walk over.

“Wait, Exalted Immortal!” Luan Xu exclaimed. Finally, he regained his composure after watching this Great Immortal destroy the others. Panicking, he explained, “I’m on your side! I’m a good person!”

She stopped and glanced at Yi Qing, “Chef?” What’s going on?

“Master, he did indeed help us buy time,” Yi Qing nodded. He paused to ponder something, then continued, “But he came together with the five immortals. I don’t know him.”

“Oh…” Shen Ying narrowed her eyes.

“How can you not know me? It’s me! It’s me!” Luan Xu pointed at his own nose, anxiously looking at Shen Ying. “Exalted Immortal, we have met before. Have you forgotten? Think about it carefully. I came down here specially to look for you.”

“Er… Chef, do you remember?”

“No, I do not remember.”

“Oh, then let’s just destroy him!”

Luan Xu’s mouth twitched, his expression one of bitterness. “No, Exalted Immortal. I’m really one of your own. I… I…” He suddenly thought about something and summoned an invisibility seal which hid the lower half of his body. Very seriously, he said, “It’s me! I’m Floaty!”

The two of them: “…”

And I’m Snowy!
