Volume 10, Chapter 674 – Elder Ma, You Really Did Charge In

Dozens of “waterfalls” descended from a height of a thousand feet, spreading apart under the night wind and breaking into countless droplets that rained down upon the Immortal Alliance’s camp. On the surface, they looked no different from ordinary raindrops.

Qi Huang was shocked and immediately sent a mental transmission to her main body: “Quick, tell the senior sisters to return to the carriages.”

Cheng Hongling was never one to dawdle, and given her absolute trust in the doppelgänger, she wasted no time calling out to the senior sisters.

After a brief pause, Cheng Hongling went to call Jin Xue, Tang Yuning, and Ouyang Yi. After spending more than ten days together, everyone had grown quite familiar, so she naturally wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

At this moment, Master Yang’s Divine Sense stirred, and a towering figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Qi Huang saw it clearly, that man had been taken out from a spatial ring.

‘So that’s why… they hid their helpers inside a spatial ring. No wonder they dared to come here with just four or five people.’

Qi Huang suddenly understood.

“Brother Jiang, we’re counting on you next. If any cultivators below dare to defend themselves with Divine Sense, you’re to suppress them immediately,” Master Yang said, cupping his fists toward the towering figure.

“Just make sure you don’t hurt my daughter!” Jin Xue’s father hurriedly reminded him, and the other emperors quickly chimed in as well.

“How would I even know who your daughters are?” the man surnamed Jiang asked coldly, visibly displeased. He looked to be around fifty, his coarse, rugged features barely concealed by the mask on his face. His body was as sturdy as a stone wall, radiating an oppressive presence.

Of course, he was also wearing clothing specially made from the pelts of the Nine Nether Demon Cats.

“It’s fine, just avoid harming the girls wearing common clothes,” Jin Xue’s father pleaded.

“Hmph.” Jiang grunted impatiently in response.

“Who is this guy? He doesn’t even bother giving face to the emperors?” Qi Huang thought to herself in surprise.

“What exactly is going on?” Cheng Hongling, having already brought everyone back into the sedan carriage, finally found the chance to ask the doppelgänger.

“Jin Xue’s father and the others are here. They’re a thousand feet above the camp right now, and they’re planning to use artificial rain to sprinkle Qi-Leaking Powder onto the Immortal Alliance cultivators. It’ll reach the ground any moment now,” Qi Huang explained concisely.

“Qi-Leaking Powder? Are they insane? Don’t they care about their own daughters?” Cheng Hongling exclaimed in shock. After all, Jin Xue and the others weren’t just princesses, they were cultivators too.

“They probably had no other choice. Faced with life and death, survival takes priority over family,” Qi Huang said with understanding.

“Forget it. I’ll use my Divine Sense to shield everyone. If it’s rain, the sedan carriage alone won’t provide complete protection,” Cheng Hongling said, relaxing slightly.

“Good. You must stay safe. I suspect they’ll launch an attack right after the artificial rainfall,” Qi Huang reminded her.

By now, the dense “raindrops” were already falling from the sky, pitter-pattering as they struck the Immortal Alliance camp.

The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were still busy setting up tents, completely unprepared. They were drenched instantly and hastily raised Divine Sense shields to ward off the rain. To cultivators, this was far more convenient than umbrellas.

“Strange, why is my True Qi decreasing?”

“Same here! But I’m using Divine Sense, not True Qi. So why is it depleting?”

“This isn’t normal. It feels like my Qi Sea has sprung a leak!”

Many cultivators quickly noticed something was wrong, glancing around in confusion.

Qi Huang frowned deeply. Were Jin Xue’s father and the others really trying to rebel against the Immortal Alliance’s authority? If so, what would happen to her bait? Relying on a few senior sisters imbued with Golden Fate Blossom scent clearly wouldn’t be enough.

“Elder Zheng, my True Qi is draining for no reason. What about you?” Elder Ma approached Zheng Chi with a troubled expression.

“Mine too… This isn’t right.” Zheng Chi’s expression grew solemn. After a moment of thought, his face suddenly changed drastically as he exclaimed, “No! It’s Qi-Leaking Powder!”

“What? Qi-Leaking Powder? But how did we get poisoned?” Elder Ma’s eyes widened in panic, glancing around frantically. The other elders were no better, Qi-Leaking Powder was a cultivator’s natural nemesis after all. Once it touched you, it was extremely difficult to purge.

“It’s the rain!” Zheng Chi slowly raised his head, extending his Divine Sense into the sky.

“Right! It must be the rain! Our Qi started dropping right after we got wet, what else could it be?” Elder Ma chimed in belatedly.

The elders quickly scanned the sky above. Thousands of feet up, they spotted dozens of massive barrels pouring down some unknown liquid, making them look like maggots writhing in an outhouse.

“What’s that?” Elder Ma asked in shock. Because the relatives of the baited girls were wearing special protective clothing, all he could detect were the barrels themselves.

“Who dares to plot against us?! I’ll kill you!” Zheng Chi roared angrily, shooting skyward to destroy the barrels.

Seeing the Grand Elder move, the others had no choice but to follow, launching themselves into the air after him.

“My life? Who dares take it?”

A booming voice thundered from above, scattering the clouds below. Its sheer force left the elders stunned.

They looked up just in time to see a massive figure plummeting down like a meteor. The speed was so great that sonic booms erupted around him, producing sharp, deafening roars.

Worse still, before he even arrived, an overwhelming Killing Intent spread across the sky, crushing everything beneath it. Birds within hundreds of feet screamed silently as their bodies ruptured midair and fell lifelessly to the ground.

“This is bad!” Zheng Chi’s expression twisted in terror. He hadn’t deployed his Essence Soul outside his body, which meant he had no defense against this suffocating Killing Intent.

As expected, a wave of primal fear swept through him, his heart pounding wildly. His mind went blank, his Divine Sense scattered, and he plummeted uncontrollably from the sky.

The other three elders fared no better. Like birds with broken wings, they dropped from the air one by one. Whether they were truly incapacitated or faking it was anyone’s guess. With the Grand Elder out of commission, none of them dared challenge that terrifying figure.

Only Elder Ma kept charging upward, eyes closed, completely unaffected. He was lucky, his Essence Soul was stored safely at the Immortal Alliance headquarters, so the Killing Intent didn’t affect him.

After ascending for a while, Elder Ma suddenly realized his companions were gone. He was the only one still flying upward like a lone hero.

Startled, Elder Ma halted and looked around, spotting his fellow elders already descending rapidly. Enraged, he yelled, “You cowards!”

Among the elders below, someone smirked faintly, clearly faking it.

Qi Huang nearly burst out laughing. ‘Those guys are just pretending, not actually fighting. But you, old man… you really charged in by yourself? You’re way too straightforward!’

Meanwhile, the terrifying figure descended directly above Elder Ma, who else could it be but the man surnamed Jiang?

Without hesitation, Jiang raised his massive foot and stomped down toward Elder Ma’s head.

Elder Ma had nowhere to dodge. Raising his sword high, he stabbed upward at Jiang’s sole, shouting, “Die, you son of a dog!”

Jiang didn’t dodge or block, directly stepping onto the blade with full force. His speed was so great that the air before him visibly warped.

Normally, flesh couldn’t withstand a sword, but this time, the opposite happened. Jiang’s body was so overwhelmingly strong that his step created spatial ripples, powerful enough to shatter Elder Ma’s weapon.

Before his foot even landed, Elder Ma’s sword cracked under the pressure, splintering in all directions. Then, man and weapon finally collided.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Jiang’s unstoppable force crushed the blade completely, stomping Elder Ma’s skull beneath his foot.

SPLAT!

Elder Ma’s head was driven straight into his torso, and in the next instant, his entire body exploded into fragments, scattering blood and flesh through the air.

His Life Soul barely emerged before Jiang’s boundless Killing Intent shredded it to pieces, leaving him no chance to scream.

Qi Huang’s black-and-white eyes widened, then sparkled with joy as she exclaimed, “Good brother! Well done! Brilliant strike! With Elder Ma gone, this fairy can finally cause trouble without restraint!”
