Chapter 44 Battle Rank 6 Mid-Stage
......
After half an hour.
The three of them followed the marks they had left behind and headed towards the village.
Upon arriving at the village, Qin Fengqing said to Wang Jinyang and the other man, "We've killed a lot these past few days, and Tianmen City must have noticed something's wrong."
There's a high chance that high-level martial artists are patrolling the surrounding villages, so we need to hurry this time.
I'll lure it here. You all prepare your strength beforehand and unleash your strongest attack—don't hold back!
Wang Jinyang and the other person nodded.
Qin Fengqing concealed himself and stealthily made his way towards the village.
This underground village is located in an extremely remote area with few people, but for some reason, there is a mid-level sixth-rank underground martial artist guarding it.
It was still daytime, so Qin Fengqing could only conceal himself in the grass in the village and move slowly. However, Qin Fengqing activated his energy barrier, so he could move easily between different places.
Qin Fengqing investigated briefly and found that the number of underground martial artists in the village was surprisingly small; most of them were ordinary people.
This situation likely indicates that the village has been relocated, with most of the underground martial artists moving to other places to build, leaving only the village chief, a mid-level sixth-rank official, to oversee the area.
Qin Fengqing decided to act quickly and went directly to the center of the village.
Strands of vital energy seeped out of his body, and the power of his bone marrow surged wildly, condensing into a faint blood mist on the blade.
"The Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor—Second Secret!—Military Strategy!"
He slashed directly at the house in the middle of the village.
The village chief, who was still cultivating inside the house, sensed something.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the next second...
"boom!"
The entire building collapsed instantly, burying the sixth-rank martial artist in the rubble. The next second, he broke free from the rubble and flew directly into the air.
Upon closer inspection, he saw it was just a fourth-rank human martial artist. His face contorted with rage, he roared, "Take a piece of my gujilika! (A fourth-rank martial artist dares to attack me? You're courting death!)"
They didn't even bother to grab their weapons.
He closed the distance and threw a punch at Qin Fengqing.
Qin Fengqing turned her head and dodged the punch, then turned and ran outside.
Seeing Qin Fengqing run away, the old man immediately landed and chased after Qin Fengqing.
After about ten seconds, just as he was about to catch up with Qin Fengqing, the sixth-rank martial artist from the underground cave revealed a joyful expression.
"Get the machine! (Go to hell!)"
Qin Fengqing, with her back to the underground martial artist, raised the corners of her mouth. She stopped abruptly, turned around, and slashed directly at the sixth-rank underground martial artist.
"Lin! — Bing!"
The two blades of light aimed straight at the face of the sixth-rank martial artist in the underground cave.
Seeing this, the underground warrior gathered his energy in his fists and blasted it towards the blade's edge.
"Bang!"
At the very moment of impact, Qin Fengqing shouted, "Attack!"
Two voices came from the bushes on either side of them.
"Bloodthirsty Berserker Blade! Bloodthirsty Seven-Hit Combo! Seven Slashes Combined into One!"
"God-Splitter! God-Splitter Thrust!"
A long sword, its color far more intense than ordinary blood and qi, and a blood-red spear, imbued with invisible spiritual energy, attacked the cave warrior.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly turned around to defend himself, but Qin Fengqing did not give him the chance.
"Acupoints open! The Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor—Third Secret!—Fight!"
The crimson blade light was tinged with a hint of blue. Sensing the strength of this strike, the old man could no longer care about Wang Jinyang and the other man. He immediately unleashed all his energy and channeled it into his fists.
"puff!"
The long sword and the long spear pierced through the old man's body simultaneously.
In pain, the old man unleashed the Triple Energizer Gate, blasting open the previously sealed gate and sending a surge of rich energy into his body.
After knocking Qin Fengqing back, he punched Wang Jinyang and his companion twice, sending them flying and coughing up blood as they flew into the distance.
The old man stared intently at Qin Fengqing and the other two with a vicious look. He was almost finished sealing the second Sanjiao Gate, but now he had failed and returned to the initial stage of the sixth rank.
The energy that blasted open the closed portal was only a temporary amplification. The burst of energy just now only shattered Qin Fengqing's blade light and blasted Wang Jinyang and the other man away.
At this moment, the temporary energy in my body is being continuously drained away.
The old man's physical condition was extremely poor. Wang Jinyang's knife had pierced his abdomen, Yao Chengjun's gun had pierced his shoulder blade, and his fists were a bloody mess from the constant fighting with Qin Fengqing.
The wound was only prevented from worsening at this moment because of the abundant energy.
The old man actually had a weapon, but it was buried in the rubble. When he first saw Qin Fengqing, he thought he could easily handle the situation, so he didn't retrieve the weapon, fearing that Qin Fengqing would escape.
Now they can only rely on their flesh and blood to withstand the weapons of Qin Fengqing and the other two, especially Qin Fengqing's Fengqing Blade, which is made of Grade A alloy and has been nurtured at any cost during this period of time, making it a famous weapon that is no weaker than a peak sixth-grade martial artist.
Moreover, breaking open the Three Jiao Gate also has a backlash, but it doesn't take effect immediately. Instead, it will only directly backlash on oneself after the massive temporary energy dissipates.
The sixth-rank martial artist in the underground cave was well aware that once the energy dissipated, the injuries would erupt instantly, and the backlash would follow. Therefore, he had to kill Qin Fengqing and the other two completely before the energy dissipated.
After thinking it over, the old man rushed towards Qin Fengqing and instantly arrived in front of Qin Fengqing. His fists were enveloped in energy, and he slammed them directly into Qin Fengqing's chest.
Qin Fengqing parried with his sword.
"Bang!"
The powerful burst of energy sent Qin Fengqing flying ten meters away.
Qin Fengqing's expression turned serious. The old man pressed his advantage and threw a punch at Qin Fengqing's head, intending to kill him in one blow.
Qin Fengqing naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.
"Acupoints opened! Bone marrow permeates the body!"
The 40 temporary acupoints that were originally activated in his body were activated again, and another 40 were activated. A total of 80 temporary acupoints were activated by Qin Fengqing.
The power of his bone marrow burst forth once more, and his blood and qi instantly transformed into a crimson plume of smoke. A crimson pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth, enveloping an area of several meters in crimson.
At this moment, Qin Fengqing's blood and qi power surged wildly, and his physical body swelled up a lot due to the excessive blood and qi it had absorbed. His skin kept cracking and was constantly being repaired by the power of his bone marrow.
Qin Fengqing slashed wildly forward, unleashing dozens of strikes in the blink of an eye that collided with the old man's fist.
"boom!"
The collision produced a tremendous sound, and a shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact, causing the ground beneath their feet to cave in.
The old man was shocked. He couldn't understand why Qin Fengqing, a fourth-grade martial artist, could be on par with him, a sixth-grade martial artist.
After breaking through the Sanjiao Gate, supported by abundant energy, he had even reached the high level of the sixth rank in terms of attack power before the energy disappeared. However, his full-force attack was blocked by Qin Fengqing.
Seeing this, the old man knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he unleashed dozens more punches in an attempt to finish off Qin Fengqing.
Qin Fengqing, who was also in a state of explosive power, was not afraid and directly engaged the old man in a frenzied exchange of blows.
The aftershocks of the exchange of fire created large craters in the ground.
