Chapter 176 Slaying a Powerful Enemy (Please Subscribe!)
"My injuries have fully healed!"

A cold glint appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. Her gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and she asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, if the two of us join forces, are you confident that you can kill Kuang Qinglu and the other two?"

The final test of the Divine Jade Sect was to make them kill each other. Previously, Kuang Qinglu and the other person wanted to kill them while they were severely injured.

Unfortunately, Kuang Qinglu and Lu Cheng'an did not succeed. Now that their injuries have fully healed, they naturally want to seek revenge on Kuang Qinglu and Lu Cheng'an.

“If those two don’t have any other trump cards, we two should have a 70-80% chance of killing them!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Both Kuang Qinglu and Kuang Qinglu possessed methods to enhance their combat power, but the backlash from these methods was less severe than that from the Burning Spirit Technique.

However, the Spirit Burning Technique has an advantage that other similar techniques do not have: it allows cultivators to increase their combat power even more!

Lu Cheng'an cultivated the Spirit Burning Technique to perfection, which allowed the power of the technique to be maximized, while also minimizing the backlash it caused.

His combat power, gained through this technique, surpasses that of Kuang Qinglu and the other two!
"When does Fellow Daoist Shi plan to make a move against those two?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

"There's no time to lose, let's go find Kuang Qinglu and the other two now!" A fierce glint appeared in Shi Ningyu's eyes, she couldn't wait to find Kuang Qinglu and the other two to take revenge.

Lu Cheng'an naturally wouldn't refuse, since he knew when he accepted Shi Ningyu's invitation that they would have to take action against the other Nascent Soul disciples of the Divine Jade Sect.

"Kuang Qinglu and the other person are very likely still searching for our hiding place in Hundred Beasts Peak. We will search for Kuang Qinglu and the other person in Hundred Beasts Peak!"

After Shi Ningyu led Lu Cheng'an out of their underground hiding place, she activated her flying artifact and led Lu Cheng'an to search for Kuang Qinglu and the other person's whereabouts within Hundred Beasts Peak.

Just as Shi Ningyu said, Kuang Qinglu and Lu Chengan did not leave the area of ​​Hundred Beasts Peak. They had been searching for Shi Ningyu and Lu Chengan's hiding place.

Unfortunately, they lacked both luck and strength, and after so much time, they still hadn't found Lu Cheng'an and his companion's hiding place.

They weren't far from Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu. Not long after Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu came out of their underground hiding place, they discovered the presence of Kuang Qinglu and Shi Ningyu.

Kuang Qinglu and her companion reacted very quickly; the moment Lu Cheng'an and his companion noticed them, they also noticed their presence.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, make your move!"

The moment Shi Ningyu spotted Kuang Qinglu and the other person, a surge of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

She let out a cold shout, and at the same time, she used the Jade Cloud Sword, the White Jade Heavenly Origin Bottle, and the Jade Soul Pearl as magical artifacts.

Not only that, relying on her powerful spiritual sense, she also used the second-tier technique, Jade-Severing Finger, to attack Kuang Qinglu.

When Kuang Qinglu saw Shi Ningyu attacking her, a cold expression appeared on her face. She let out a delicate shout and met Shi Ningyu's attack head-on.

As one of the Nascent Soul successors of the Divine Jade Sect, Kuang Qinglu is not weak.

After Shi Ningyu and Kuang Qinglu fought, neither of them could immediately determine who was stronger.

After Shi Ningyu made her move, Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on Luo Yuanqi.

After sensing Lu Cheng'an's gaze, Luo Yuanqi's face turned serious, because he knew that Lu Cheng'an possessed a Yuan Magnetic Artifact.

Lu Cheng'an paid no attention to Luo Yuanqi's thoughts. The moment his gaze fell on Luo Yuanqi, he immediately used the Spirit Burning Technique to enhance his combat power, and at the same time summoned the three magical artifacts: Mount Sumeru Seal, Three Yang Clear Calamity Sword, and Qingman Mountain Seal.

Lu Cheng'an's spiritual power is also extremely strong. Even though Luo Yuanqi comes from a Golden Core sect, if it's just a contest of spiritual power, Luo Yuanqi would definitely not be Lu Cheng'an's match.

The Mount Sumeru Seal emitted a bluish-brown light, and this third-grade low-level magic artifact transformed into a huge mountain peak about a hundred feet high, roaring down towards Luo Yuanqi.

The Three Yangs Clear Calamity Sword flew swiftly, its clear sword cry ringing out, and it pierced towards Luo Yuanqi's chest like lightning.

Similar to the Mount Sumeru Seal, the Qingman Mountain Seal followed closely behind the Mount Sumeru Seal, preparing to deliver the final blow to Luo Yuanqi.

After unleashing these three magical artifacts, Lu Cheng'an simultaneously used the Golden Crow Seal and the Fiery Void-Burning Palm techniques to attack Luo Yuanqi.

A crimson-gold crow cried out, and in an instant, it transformed into a crimson-gold magic seal.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged, and boundless malevolent energy emerged, condensing into an enormous black and red palm print.

Seeing Lu Cheng'an's powerful attack, Luo Yuanqi immediately summoned a sky-blue magic seal. This was a second-tier top-grade Wind Luo Seal, which was not among the Five Elements and could avoid being restrained by the Yuan Magnetic Force.

The Wind Luo Seal is a second-tier top-grade defensive magic weapon. After Luo Yuanqi summoned the Wind Luo Seal, he met the attack of the Mount Sumeru Seal head-on.

The Wind Seal roared, transforming the entire seal into a whirlwind that swept up to a height of a hundred feet.

In an instant, the azure gale and the bluish-brown mountain peak formed by the Mount Sumeru seal collided violently.

The Fengluo Seal is one grade lower than the Sumeru Mountain Seal, and Luo Yuanqi's strength is also slightly inferior to Lu Cheng'an's.

After this attack, the second-tier top-grade Wind Luo Seal cracked open from the middle, suffering severe damage.

However, Luo Yuanqi also used this to block the attack of Mount Sumeru Seal.

Luo Yuanqi reluctantly put away the Wind Luo Seal, then made a hand seal, and a dark blue-green whirlwind immediately emerged from the Xuan Sha Azure Wind Banner.

The wind howled and roared, as if the entire world was about to be engulfed by the dark blue whirlwind.

The dark blue whirlwind swept towards the Fiery Void Palm Print and the Azure Barbarian Mountain Seal. The Azure Barbarian Mountain Seal was relatively ordinary in power, and this second-tier top-grade magic weapon was immediately engulfed by the whirlwind after being attacked.

With a cracking sound, a significant portion of the rune array inside the Qingman Mountain Seal collapsed.

Although the Fiery Blazing Palm is a second-tier technique, Lu Cheng'an's current strength has risen to a level comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages, which greatly enhances the power of the Fiery Blazing Palm.

The black and red palm print slammed into the black whirlwind over Qinghai, instantly stopping its speed.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an unleashed three more palm strikes, three enormous black and red palm prints that swept across the sky, directly shattering the bluish-black whirlwind.

Luo Yuanqi blocked the Three Yangs Clearing Calamity Sword relatively easily.

The power of the Golden Crow Seal was also greatly enhanced. The crimson-gold seal broke through Luo Yuanqi's attack and landed on Luo Yuanqi's body, but it was blocked by the defensive magic robe he was wearing.

Even so, it still greatly alarmed Luo Yuanqi.

This encounter made him realize the gap in strength between him and Lu Cheng'an. He was no match for Lu Cheng'an, and if they continued to fight, he might die at Lu Cheng'an's hands!
Luo Yuanqi felt a chill, but he dared not back down. He knew very well the rules within the Divine Jade Sect ruins: only two Nascent Soul disciples could leave the ruins alive in this trial.

Even if he escapes from Lu Cheng'an now, he still won't be able to leave the Shenyu Sect ruins alive in the end.

Upon realizing this, Luo Yuanqi's face flashed with a crazed killing intent, and he continued his attack on Lu Cheng'an.

However, the gap in strength is not so easy to bridge. After breaking through the attack of the cyan-black whirlwind, Lu Cheng'an once again activated the Mount Sumeru Seal to attack Luo Yuanqi.

There are also two other techniques: the Golden Crow Seal and the Fiery Void-Burning Palm.

The difference in strength between Lu Cheng'an and Luo Yuanqi was not significant. Even though Lu Cheng'an was stronger than Luo Yuanqi, it would not be an easy task for him to kill Luo Yuanqi.

Time passed slowly, and two hours went by in the blink of an eye.

After fighting for so long, Lu Cheng'an and Luo Yuanqi are finally about to determine a winner.

The Sumeru Mountain Seal, transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall giant peak, crashed down from mid-air. Although Luo Yuanqi tried his best to resist, all the attacks he released were easily crushed by the Sumeru Mountain Seal.

Finally, the hundred-foot-tall mountain crashed heavily into Luo Yuanqi's body. Luo Yuanqi let out a roar of unwillingness, and then his body was shattered by the impact.

The Mount Sumeru Seal continued to press down, completely crushing Luo Yuanqi's body into a pulp.

Lu Cheng'an was breathing heavily, blood was gushing from the corner of his mouth, and he had suffered a very serious injury.

After a brief moment of rest, he turned his gaze to Shi Ningyu and Kuang Qinglu.

Kuang Qinglu had clearly underestimated Shi Ningyu's strength. Now, Kuang Qinglu's situation was extremely miserable. Her right arm had been severed by Shi Ningyu with the Jade Cloud Sword, and her body had suffered extremely serious injuries.

Even if she manages to hold on until the end, if her physical body is damaged and cannot be restored, she will absolutely not be able to break through to the Golden Core realm.

After seeing Lu Cheng'an kill Luo Yuanqi, Shi Ningyu smiled. She looked at Kuang Qinglu with icy eyes and sneered, "Why bother struggling anymore? Just accept your death!"

As Shi Ningyu's voice fell, her attacks became even more ruthless.

Just as Lu Chengan was about to help Shi Ningyu, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura coming from afar.

But Lu Cheng'an hesitated for only a moment before simultaneously unleashing the Fiery Void-Burning Palm and the Golden Crow Seal to attack Kuang Qinglu.

"Brother Sha, save me!"

Kuang Qinglu cried out in alarm, but before her voice could even fade, the Fiery Void Burning Palm Print and the Golden Crow Seal followed closely, striking Kuang Qinglu hard.

At the same time, the Jade Cloud Sword whistled and pierced directly into Kuang Qinglu's chest.

Amid Kuang Qinglu's unwilling expression, Shi Ningyu retrieved the Jade Cloud Sword, thus ending Kuang Qinglu's life.

After killing Kuang Qinglu, Shi Ningyu quickly reunited with Lu Cheng'an, and then they both looked at the two figures rushing towards them.

There were also two cultivators, a man and a woman. The male cultivator was dressed in a fitted black robe. He was tall and handsome.

The female cultivator beside the male cultivator was tall and slender, dressed in a red dress. She had a hot figure and a very beautiful face.

The male cultivator was Sha Zehan, who came from the Nascent Soul sect, Ziyang Sect, while the female cultivator was Cong Xueqing, who also came from Ziyang Sect.

Sha Zehan originally intended to take action against Huo Xiang, but after killing the third-tier demon beast, he still couldn't find any trace of Huo Xiang.

Now that he has just witnessed Shi Ningyu killing Kuang Qinglu, he doesn't mind taking action to eliminate Shi Ningyu now.

After all, the rules of this assessment by the Divine Jade Sect are to eliminate two people. If he kills Shi Ningyu now, he will be able to obtain the resources prepared by the Divine Jade Sect to help him break through to the Golden Core realm.

"Fellow Daoist Sha, do you intend to attack me?" Shi Ningyu quickly swallowed the remaining half drop of Hundred Ginseng Essence, and then rapidly used the power of the Hundred Ginseng Essence to heal her injuries.

She stared coldly at Sha Zehan, ready to unleash the secret technique of the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm at any moment.

She had previously spent a great deal of energy practicing the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm technique, originally for Sha Zehan.

Originally, after she and Lu Cheng'an joined forces to kill Kuang Qinglu and the other person, she thought she wouldn't need to use the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm technique anymore. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that she encountered Sha Zehan again under such circumstances.

"These are the rules for the inheritance assessment, so please don't take offense, Fellow Daoist Shi!"

A gentle smile appeared on Sha Zehan's face. His gaze fell on Shi Ningyu, and a strong killing intent surged from his eyes.

Cong Xueqing took out a snow-white feather fan with a flick of her wrist. She gently shook the fan, and a chilling aura emanated from it.

This snow-white feather fan is a third-tier magic artifact. By summoning this artifact, she was preparing to make her move.

"Fellow Daoist Sha, have you decided to attack me?" Shi Ningyu asked coldly. The moment her voice fell, she secretly activated the power of the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm.

An extremely oppressive aura emanated from Shi Ningyu's body, and Sha Zehan's expression changed drastically upon sensing it.

"Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm, you've mastered this secret technique!" Sha Zehan exclaimed in surprise, instantly understanding the source of the oppressive aura emanating from Shi Ningyu.

The Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm technique originated from the Divine Jade Sect. Sha Zehan had seen this technique before, but he did not obtain the method of cultivating it.

He hadn't expected that Shi Ningyu would obtain this secret technique and even successfully cultivate it.

Sha Zehan was very confident that he could definitely kill Shi Ningyu with his strength, but he could not guarantee that he could keep his soul unharmed in the face of the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm attack.

Soul injuries are extremely difficult to heal. If his soul power is damaged now, it will very likely affect his future advancement in cultivation.

"It is indeed the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm. Fellow Daoist Sha should know the power of this technique. Are you sure you really want to fight me?" Shi Ningyu asked coldly.

Shi Ningyu was very confident in the power of the Soul-Severing Palm. She believed that she could definitely seriously injure Sha Zehan with this technique.

However, the Divine Soul Severing Palm severely damages one's spiritual power. Although Shi Ningyu's spiritual power far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level, after using the Divine Soul Severing Palm, his spiritual power will be greatly depleted, leaving him with no ability to use it again to fight.
