Chapter 692: Chapter 389: Suppressing All Opposition

Qingyun Sect, First Great Hall.

Qin Yuesheng sat steadily on the large throne, flipping through the many books and jade scrolls piled beside him.

In recent days, many disciples of Qingyun Sect, under Qin Yuesheng’s deliberate arrangements, went around provoking those cultivation sects, some of them succeeding, others failing.

Those who failed lost their lives, while those who succeeded brought back the sect’s signature cultivation technique.

As for these signature cultivation techniques, Qin Yuesheng would use them for study, then choose to either merge or enhance them, thereby evolving more and more powerful techniques.

Daoist Qingyun sat beside Qin Yuesheng, increasingly admiring this young man over the past few days. One by one, brand new and powerful techniques emerged in his hands, each far stronger than the Qingyun Dao Yuan Skill he had created himself.

This ability truly made Daoist Qingyun feel both admiration and envy.

“How have you been doing with those spells I taught you?” Qin Yuesheng asked.

Despite being younger by half a cycle compared to Qin Yuesheng, Daoist Qingyun quickly and respectfully replied, “Master, I have learned them all.”

“You are the most affected by the Immortal Blood, and thus have the deepest comprehension and use of Spiritual Qi.” Qin Yuesheng looked at Daoist Qingyun, “My goals can be achieved alone, but it would be somewhat troublesome. You are also my support, and you need to continue diligently cultivating, to avoid facing opponents beyond your ability in the future.”

“I will remember Master’s words.”

As the two were conversing, a disciple of Qingyun Sect ran in from outside and immediately said, “Great Master, Grandmaster, our progress in the west is not very ideal, only four out of eighteen of our brothers have returned this time.”

“What?” Master Qingyun was astonished.

He was very aware of the power of the techniques improved by Qin Yuesheng, which should be unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

Qin Yuesheng calmly asked, “Who is blocking our way in the west.”

“It’s the Giant Mountain Sect. They are very famous in the Jiangnan region, filled with bald, muscular men, all enormously powerful. They can tear tigers and bears apart with their bare hands, without relying on Taoist skills. Their physical strength is exceptionally strong.”

“How famous are they?” Qin Yuesheng asked.

“To be honest, if nothing goes wrong, before long, the Giant Mountain Sect will become the number one in Jiangnan.”

“Oh, ho!” Qin Yuesheng became interested. If he could subdue a sect of such strength, conquering all the sects under heaven would be quick work, otherwise, just relying on the manpower of Qingyun Sect wouldn’t suffice.

“Very well, I’ll handle this Giant Mountain Sect in the west, Qingyun, you will come with me.” Qin Yuesheng stood up and said.

“Yes.” Daoist Qingyun immediately nodded in agreement.

With Qin Yuesheng’s involvement, Daoist Qingyun naturally felt at ease. Given the power Qin Yuesheng had displayed before, it was hard to believe any cultivator could match him.

The two set out that day, and within the time it takes to burn three incense sticks, Qin Yuesheng had already brought Daoist Qingyun to Giant Mountain Sect.

The Giant Mountain Sect, true to its name, was built on a giant mountain, completely barren with no vegetation, entirely composed of rocks and sand, utterly desolate.

The moment they landed, the earth around them surged, and eight figures instantly flew out from the ground, each brandishing swords toward Qin Yuesheng and Daoist Qingyun.

These eight were all muscular men, clad in leather armor, with bald heads as their common feature.

“Who are these reckless ones, daring to trespass on Giant Mountain Sect’s territory?” one of the bald muscular men shouted.

Qin Yuesheng did not waste words, merely flicked his finger, Duang!

The finger power was fierce and strong, piercing through the man’s forehead in a blink, leaving an unhealable bloody hole.

“How bold! Everyone, attack!”

The remaining seven, seeing their fellow brother killed, felt a surge of anger and rushed toward Qin Yuesheng.

No need for Qin Yuesheng to act, Daoist Qingyun countered using the new Taoist Skills taught by Qin Yuesheng recently.

“Qingyun Sword Dance!” Daoist Qingyun’s flying sword moved and countless dense Sword Qi swept out, transforming into a dancing woman, who was fully composed of Sword Qi, instantly tearing the ground into chaos, continuing to attack the Giant Mountain Sect disciples.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the sword wind swept by, these Giant Mountain Sect disciples evidently lacked the strength, falling dead under Daoist Qingyun’s hand within a few moves, turning into corpses on the ground.

“Not bad, well practiced.” Qin Yuesheng nodded in approval.

“Master, I know the Sect Leader of Giant Mountain Sect, Zheng Kaishan. Before founding this sect, he was a Martial Artist of considerable strength. I have sparred with him before, and his prowess is notable. However, Master, with the Qingyun Immortal Art you gave me, he could never be my match now. I hope Master will not interfere later, leave everything to me.”

“As you wish.”

The two walked all the way, soon arriving at the gates of the Giant Mountain Sect.

Compared to the Qingyun Sect, the Giant Mountain Sect appeared rougher and more rugged, its buildings completely constructed by stacking giant stones. It looked more like a fortress than a cultivation sect.

The massive gates were only slightly ajar, but wide enough for several people to walk through side by side.

Their presence at the gate immediately caught the attention of the Giant Mountain Sect disciples stationed above.

“Woo!” A horn made from cowhorn blew instantly, its sound echoing through the surroundings.

“`

A large number of disciples from the Giant Mountain Sect rushed over at the sound. When they saw only two people outside the gate, their faces inevitably showed a vigilant expression.

Just yesterday, a dozen people claiming to be disciples of the Qingyun Sect came to challenge them. Their Taoist skills were formidable, and if it weren’t for the Sect Leader intervening personally, they might not have been able to withstand them.

This is why the disciples of the Giant Mountain Sect were so cautious.

“Let your Sect Leader come out.” Daoist Qingyun conjured up Spiritual Power within his body and said loudly.

This voice was exceedingly loud, and to the ordinary disciples of the Giant Mountain Sect, it was no less than a bolt from the blue. They were immediately shocked, their minds unsettled.

Taoist Skills had only been prevalent in the Nine Provinces for a few months, and besides those who had directly contacted Immortal Blood-tainted items, few could refine their Taoist Skills.

Before long, a bald giant carrying a massive hammer walked out from the city.

He was absolutely over ten feet tall, standing there like a small giant.

“More visitors? My Giant Mountain Sect has been quite lively recently.” The giant’s eyes stared intently at Qin Yuesheng and Qingyun, filled with intense murderous intent.

“There are countless anomalies in Jiangnan, but I have never seen one so tall. This must be a result of metamorphosis after consuming Immortal Blood-tainted items, with likely unique abilities,” Qin Yuesheng deliberately said, “Be cautious when you engage him.”

“Understood, Master.” Qingyun nodded and stepped forward directly.

“So it’s you, old man.” As he approached, the giant immediately recognized Qingyun, after all, the two had crossed paths before, as the saying goes, ‘No fight, no friendship.’

At this moment, the giant was particularly enraged with Qingyun. Their paths had never crossed before, yet the opponent dared to send sect disciples to provoke them. How could someone with a fiery temper endure?

Immediately, the giant stepped forward and swung the hammer in his hand towards Daoist Qingyun.

At the instant this hammer was swung, Qin Yuesheng slightly widened his eyes. The giant’s Hammer Skill was not random; it had a method to it.

Qin Yuesheng took a brief look and instantly understood.

The other party’s Hammer Skill had endless power. One hammer connected to another, with remnants of force passed on, making each subsequent swing stronger, with increasing power.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more invincible this person would become.

Daoist Qingyun, having learned so many Taoist Skills from Qin Yuesheng, was naturally no novice.

He moved with an agile step, his stature nimble, simultaneously unleashing extraordinary Sword Qi. Although he and the giant were complete opposites, they were fairly matched, fighting to a standstill.

“Black Tortoise Hammer!”

“Hundred Sword Technique!”

The giant swung a hammer skyward while Daoist Qingyun released rapid-fire Sword Qi downward like a machine gun.

The stone gate of the Giant Mountain Sect immediately could not withstand it, instantly collapsing with dust swirling around.

However, the battle between the two continued.

The giant’s breath was continuous like flowing water, whereas Daoist Qingyun’s breathing was at a disadvantage.

Qin Yuesheng, finding it uninteresting and not wanting to waste any more time, directly shouted, “Qingyun, step back.”

Daoist Qingyun dared not disobey, immediately withdrawing and standing behind Qin Yuesheng.

The enrage-stricken giant, ignoring everything else, roared as he swung the hammer towards Qin Yuesheng’s head.

Buzz!

A ripple of Inner Strength erupted from Qin Yuesheng’s body, directly knocking the giant back, who swiftly crashed into a stone wall a short distance away.

“I’ll give you a chance: submit to me, or today this Giant Mountain Sect will be your graveyard,” Qin Yuesheng said to the giant climbing out from the stone wall.

The Inner Strength he just used was only a fraction, and if he intended for the giant to die, the giant’s body should have already turned into a puddle of mush within the stone wall.

“I have never submitted to anyone!” the giant shouted, slamming the hammer on the ground, immediately causing large chunks of earth to rise, transforming into a colossal hammer aimed at Qin Yuesheng.

“Then I’ll make an exception,” Qin Yuesheng said, extending a hand to block the flying stone hammer before him.

What seemed like a thousand-pound stone hammer appeared incredibly light to Qin Yuesheng, who directly controlled and dropped it to the ground.

“What?” The giant stood dumbfounded.

Since creating this Taoist Skill, he had never seen anyone dissolve it with such ease.

It was utterly too effortless, too casual.

“You, you…” For a moment, turmoil arose within the giant, for he could no longer ignore the depth of Qin Yuesheng’s strength.

“I’ll ask you once more, will you submit or not? If you refuse, you’ll vanish alongside the Giant Mountain Sect today,” Qin Yuesheng said tranquilly.

Yet a surge of murderous intent instantly locked onto the giant’s position.

The giant broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, “I’ll submit, I’ll submit.”
