Chapter 269: Chapter 266: Single-handedly Defeating the Entire Suxin Zhai

Should she make a trip to the Inverted Gate?

Liu Qingmeng was currently pondering this very question.

She was reluctant to admit it,

but in her mind, she had expected Fang Can’s superpowered friends to intervene, even without her help.

But for some unknown reason, Fang Can had already been captured by the Inverted Gate.

She wanted to step in, but she’d already made some harsh pronouncements earlier. Wouldn’t she lose face in front of Fang Can if she acted now?

So, should she go? Or not?

While Liu Qingmeng was lost in thought, back inside the Pure Heart Studio...

Have you ever heard the story... of the principle of ’Reversal of Fortune’?

This so-called ’Reversal of Fortune’ didn’t just improve one’s Martial Dao talent; it was an all-encompassing enhancement for Fang Can.

With Fang Can’s current aptitude,

he could grasp most things at a glance and master them with a single attempt. He was, without a doubt, a peerless genius.

Whether it was cooking, martial arts, the Martial Dao, or even mathematics, they were all things he could learn with ease.

Therefore, with his current understanding of the 108 moves, teaching these rookies was a piece of cake.

Not to mention,

the mere fact that he had developed three ultimate techniques—the Gloomy Soul-Devouring Palm, the Orchid Brushing Acupoint Hand, and the Surging River Finger—

was enough to reveal his world-shattering talent in this domain!

TCH—

She watched the bloody battle in the distance, stunned.

A drop of blood suddenly splattered onto the corner of Yan Chqing’s mouth.

She licked it away, tasting the metallic tang of rust spreading in her mouth.

’What a pity. The guy really is a genius. If he hadn’t made so many enemies, I wouldn’t have the heart to do this.’

Setting aside Yan Chqing’s feelings, the trainees being instructed were being hit by one wave of shock after another.

...

"I should just go."

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window and into the bedroom.

After thinking it over and over, Liu Qingmeng finally made up her mind.

She decided to go to the Inverted Gate to check on Fang Can and ask what was going on.

It wasn’t that she was concerned, of course. It was just that Fang Can’s presence was necessary for the upcoming Sixth Turn secret realm.

Just a normal requirement for their cooperation.

’Oh, right, right, right... You can lie to others, but can you please stop lying to yourself?’

Within her consciousness, the sneering voice of her intrusive thoughts echoed endlessly, but Liu Qingmeng easily ignored it.

As she walked out of her room, Liu Qingmeng’s expression froze slightly. She looked toward the Scripture Pavilion.

Over there, Jiang Ning’an’s aura was steadily growing stronger. But wasn’t this a bit too ridiculous?

’This level... She might be able to break through to the Fourth Turn within three years...’

Liu Qingmeng stared intently at the ever-strengthening aura as the voice of her intrusive thoughts rang in her head:

"Hurry up and go! Fang Can is definitely being humiliated by some other wicked woman! Go save him!"

’But... isn’t Fang Can at the Inverted Gate? How would he get the chance to be humiliated by a wicked woman? Could it be... a man!’

At that thought, Liu Qingmeng transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the Inverted Gate.

Driven by her speculation, she didn’t dare to delay. Her domain unfurled in an instant.

Her azure hair erupted into a thousand electric arcs amidst the lightning, and Liu Qingmeng’s figure suddenly collapsed into a single beam of violet light.

Layers upon layers of lightning patterns appeared on her skin. Her bones and meridians transformed into a state of pure energy in a flash, becoming a hazy humanoid figure made of pure lightning.

When she stepped forward and shattered the void, a circular thunderstorm a kilometer in diameter erupted from the peak of Jiejian Mountain, and the roar of a thousand falling bolts of lightning thundered from above.

A violet halo of ionized air expanded rapidly with her at its center, melting the rock in its path into a molten, glass-like substance.

Her flowing hair trailed behind her like a ribbon of light, dragging fine electric arcs with it.

The air was ionized, releasing the acrid smell of sulfur. A bizarre, liquid-like ripple appeared where the lightning passed—a strange phenomenon caused by the shockwaves in her path being violently electrified.

As the deep blue lightning pierced the clouds, a spiral-shaped rift was torn across the sky.

Three thousand-meter-high peaks in her path bore the brunt of it. The moment the lightning touched them, the mountains vaporized and ascended, leaving only their bedrock to pour down as crimson waterfalls of lava.

When she shot past a tributary of the Yangtze River, the terrifying heat vaporized a hundred-meter-deep trench into the riverbed, and a pale column of steam hundreds of feet high instantly billowed up from the water’s surface.

Fish that leaped from the water were turned to charcoal in an instant, only to be pulverized into dust by the shockwave in the next microsecond.

This was pure light speed, truly covering a distance of 300,000 kilometers per second.

This was Liu Qingmeng’s Fourth Turn inheritance: Charming Blue Film.

When Liu Qingmeng’s domain was active, she could instantly transform her body into pure lightning and move at the speed of light.

The only thing that constrained her was the maximum distance of a single move.

Due to power constraints, a single activation of her domain lasted only three milliseconds, allowing her to travel a linear path of one thousand kilometers.

Even so, this inheritance firmly cemented her title as the fastest among all Fourth Turn Martial Artists.

In battle, she could choose to conserve these three milliseconds and use them in multiple segments.

In other words, she could break up the thousand-kilometer, light-speed journey into smaller bursts.

During close-quarters combat, this allowed her to warp through space, almost as if she were teleporting.

By dividing those three milliseconds into ten thousand or even a hundred thousand parts, no one would know where she would strike before she made her move.

As long as her nervous system could keep up, she could perfectly coordinate her light-speed Body Technique with her attacks.

However, once she used up the full 1,000 kilometers, she would enter a 60-second cooldown period, during which she could not transform into lightning again.

And now, because of her grim suspicion, Liu Qingmeng was alternating between her lightning form and her normal state to travel.

She arrived at the Inverted Gate in just a few minutes.

Halting in the sky above the Inverted Gate, a hint of worry in her heart, Liu Qingmeng closed her eyes to sense the auras below.

Half a breath later, she opened her eyes. She couldn’t detect any trace of Fang Can below. Where was he being held captive?

Just as she was pondering this, a tremendous shout boomed from below:

"Sect Leader of Jiejian Mountain, what brings you all the way across tens of thousands of miles to my Inverted Gate?"
