Chapter 564 - 563: The Fall of the Leopard Maiden

Chapter 564: Chapter 563: The Fall of the Leopard Maiden

’So those three are here too. Looks like we’re in for a big show. With so many orioles waiting in the wings, I wonder who the final hunter will be.’

As he thought this, Qin Feng’s gaze swept over Yan Ge and Qi Xia’er in the center of the area.

Yan Ge had already been wounded by Mu Qiuwu, and the Bloodthirsty Green Vine had devoured a portion of his Essence Blood.

Although he still had some combat strength, he was, for all intents and purposes, already out of the running.

Mu Qiuwu wasn’t much better off.

His Boundless Wood Realm had been sundered by Qi Xia’er’s sword, leaving an indelible mark on his spirit. Unless he could reforge his Boundless Wood Realm, any attempt to break through to the Martial Arts Nirvana Realm would be certain death.

Qin Feng’s gaze landed on the Sea God Relic, his eyes glinting.

He was determined to obtain the vital energy within that Sea God Relic!

BOOM!

In the center of the field, Qi Xia’er and the Leopard Maiden had already begun to fight.

The sky filled with flashes of lightning as countless thunderous phantoms shot toward Qi Xia’er.

Her hair shimmered, and her entire body was bathed in lightning.

"Ten Directions Divine Thunder Seal! Li Lei Burn!"

RUMBLE!

Myriad bolts of Divine Thunder descended from the heavens, as if the world itself were tearing apart!

"Sword Slash Division of Territory!" As the Divine Thunder fell, Qi Xia’er’s expression turned grave. Her fair arms danced, and her sword light seemed to create heaven and earth, shattering the myriad thunderbolts!

"Ten Directions Divine Thunder Seal! Landmine Break Army!"

The Leopard Maiden’s speed reached a terrifying extreme. She weaved through the air silently, moving so fast it was dizzying; the eye couldn’t follow her movements at all.

Thunderbolt Speed, unparalleled!

Qi Xia’er’s sword was undeniably fast—as quick as a flash of lightning. An ordinary Martial Artist wouldn’t even have time to react.

And yet, the Leopard Maiden dodged it with ease, displaying a speed that shocked everyone present.

"It’s Thunderbolt Speed!" someone exclaimed in a hushed, shocked voice.

BOOM!

As the Leopard Maiden slammed her Thunder Seal into the ground, countless bolts of lightning erupted from the Earth Veins. With a single strike, she had transformed the earth’s turbid qi into terrifying Thunderbolt.

Such mastery over Thunderbolt was astounding.

Qi Xia’er’s figure was as ethereal as a celestial’s. With a turn of her sword, the myriad phenomena of Yin Yang Qiankun appeared around her. For the first time, Spirit Patterns materialized above her head.

Twelve Spirit Patterns!

Six green, three gold, and three purple!

Six Basic Mystical Meanings, three Intermediate Mystical Meanings, and three Advanced Mystical Meanings!

She had comprehended a full twelve Mystical Meanings!

Qiankun gives birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform into the Eight Desolates. A single slash of her sword seemed to create heaven and earth, manifesting a vast Qiankun world.

’One Sword Transforms Heaven and Earth! Hiss... to think it could be this terrifying!’ In the shadows, the pupils of several prodigies contracted violently.

The countless bolts of lightning within the earth were drawn in by the sword light, devoured and converted into sustenance for the World in the Sword!

"Everyone knows that All Stars Academy has its Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword God, and Sword Saint. But who would have thought that a terrifying swordswoman like you, Qi Xia’er, was hiding in the wings."

An extremely excited light danced in the Leopard Maiden’s eyes. The power Qi Xia’er displayed had fanned her will to fight to its absolute peak.

"However, this level of power alone isn’t enough to defeat me, the Saintess!"

Her long purple hair looked as if each strand were forged from the very essence of Thunderbolt!

"Ten Directions Divine Thunder Seal, Qiankun Wind and Thunder!"

"Kunlei Duan Yue!"

"Thunderous Shock!"

"Ze Lei Guiyuan!"

"All Day Long!"

"Heaven and Earth Extinct!"

"Ten Directions Annihilation!"

The sky was filled with lightning. The Leopard Maiden’s Hand Seals changed in rapid succession, and twelve rays of Spiritual Light shot out from above her head.

Twelve Thunder Element Mystical Meanings formed into Spirit Patterns: six green, four gold, and two purple!

Countless terrifying Thunderbolts coiled around her. One after another, she unleashed Thunder Seals, their power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!

The only sound left in the world was the roar of Thunderbolt.

Qi Xia’er’s expression grew increasingly grave. Countless arcs of Thunderbolt clung to her sword light, and the pressure mounted.

Drawing in so much Thunderbolt, Qi Xia’er felt as if she were carrying a mountain on her back.

The sword light swelled, expanding to its absolute limit.

In this life-or-death crisis, her World in the Sword began to evolve. The clear and turbid qi of the universe was split apart by the invading Thunderbolt, revealing earth, water, wind, and fire. These four elements neutralized the Thunderbolt and nourished all things, faintly giving off the grand aura of Primordial Chaos at the dawn of time.

Following this change, Qi Xia’er’s aura began to climb!

’She’s actually using the Leopard Maiden’s pressure to evolve her World in the Sword!’ Some of the experts watching were momentarily stunned.

The Leopard Maiden, who was fully focused on controlling the Ten Directions Divine Thunder Seal, sneered when she saw this transformation.

"You think I’ll just let you have your way? My Divine Thunder isn’t so easy to swallow!"

"Ten Directions Divine Thunder Seal, Ten Directions Unity! Detonate!"

Following her sharp cry, the Thunderbolt within the World in the Sword grew violent. A single point of lightning exploded like a lit barrel of oil, triggering a massive chain reaction among the countless Thunderbolts that had poured in earlier!

BOOM!

The clear and turbid qi shattered, the Eight Desolates were annihilated, and all things returned to Chaos!

The World in the Sword showed signs of imminent collapse!

’It’s over. Once the World in the Sword shatters, her Origin will shatter with it. She’ll end up just like Mu Qiuwu. Breaking through to the Martial Arts Giant Realm in the future will be next to impossible!’

PFFT!

Unable to suppress the explosion in her World in the Sword, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Qi Xia’er’s mouth.

The Leopard Maiden sneered.

Qin Feng’s expression flickered. ’If I were to act now, I could easily suppress the World in the Sword with the power of my Innate Yin and Yang Qi!’

’Should I make a move?’

Qi Xia’er’s stunning face remained calm and composed. Facing mortal danger, she was fearless. Suddenly, her fair hand gripped her longsword. Like an inverted Star River, the longsword locked onto the Leopard Maiden, and she unleashed an upward slash.

"Qiankun Six Paths Sword Technique—Qiankun Revolution!"

It was like using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, borrowing force to strike back. Harnessing the explosive power of the countless Divine Thunder detonations, she unleashed a slash that truly seemed to create heaven and earth.

BOOM!

The Leopard Maiden’s expression changed in an instant.

In that moment, a beam of white light seemed to pierce through the heavens and the earth, causing the world to dim for a fraction of a second!

The brilliant white light locked onto the Leopard Maiden. In an instant, it pierced through her with irresistible force, striking her body.

The Leopard Maiden’s pupils dilated to their limit. Under this power, her body seemed to delaminate, weathered away and disintegrated by the glorious white light.

CRACK!

The white light pierced through the Leopard Maiden and continued onward, unabated. It exploded in mid-air, and dark cracks in the Void spread out like black lightning, stretching for an unknown distance.

It was as if a grim stroke had been painted across the sky—a thick, terrifying black line that stretched on and on.

At that moment, the many Martial Artists watched the scene in silence.

Only after a long while did they let out a deep breath.

But the image of that terrifying sword light was seared into their very souls, never to be forgotten.

CRACK!

Silently, there was the sound of snapping metal.

Accompanied by a faint, sorrowful cry from the sword, a trickle of crimson blood escaped the corner of Qi Xia’er’s mouth. Her beautiful face was pale as she lifted the longsword in her hand.

The translucent, azure High-level Spirit Sword was shattering, inch by inch.

"WAH!"

Qi Xia’er spat out a mouthful of blood!

Crimson stained the ground!

A brutal outcome!

Although she had executed the fifth move of the Qiankun Six Paths Sword Technique, Qiankun Revolution, at the last moment to redirect the explosive power of the countless Divine Thunders, she had ultimately suffered a backlash.

Still, compared to the Leopard Maiden, whose Divine Soul was obliterated, Qi Xia’er’s fate was far better, even though she was gravely injured.

Seeing Qi Xia’er cough up blood, countless pairs of eyes lit up in the shadows.

SWISH! SWISH!

A brilliant golden light tore through the Void like a bolt of Golden Thunder. A sharp claw, radiating boundless hostility, suddenly appeared above Qi Xia’er’s head!

This claw wasn’t just aiming to snatch the Sea God Relic; it intended to tear the heavily injured Qi Xia’er to shreds as well...
