Volume 13, Chapter 823 – I Am Your Ancestor (Part 7)

With a thought, Qi Huang made the spear in her hand abruptly vanish. As waves of spatial energy rippled out, the members of the Yanyang Sect in front of her exploded like overripe melons. From the Divine Realm cultivator Mo Long, down to the most ordinary disciples were torn apart without exception, flesh and blood scattering across the ground in a grotesque blend. Only their Life Souls remained, standing frozen in place, some still wearing mocking expressions on their faces.

The members of the Lingxi Sect only saw a blur before their eyes, and then those powerful enemies had already turned into a field of blood and flesh. Their deaths were so casual, so abrupt, that everyone present felt as if they were hallucinating.

“Wasn’t that Mo Long in the late stage of the Divine Realm? And yet he died just like the rest, without even a chance to fight back? Is this what an immortal is like? Just a doppelgänger is already this powerful?”

Zhong Qin’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, her mind blank with shock.

“How could this be? How could someone be that strong?”

At that moment, Mo Long’s Life Soul seemed to snap out of its daze. He muttered in fear and disbelief:

“Am I dead? How… how did I die?”

The rest of the Yanyang Sect finally realized that they were already dead. One by one, their expressions turned even more bewildered. Perhaps because death had come so swiftly and painlessly, their first reaction wasn’t fear, but confusion.

“So? Does my strength now meet your standards?”

Qi Huang teased.

Mo Long’s Life Soul didn’t dare talk back. He turned and fled without hesitation. The remaining Yanyang Sect disciples also realized the danger and followed behind him in a panic.

“Only thinking of running now? Too late!”

With a sweep of Divine Sense, Qi Huang manifested more than a dozen giant hands that surged forward faster than the fleeing souls. In an instant, she had all of their Life Souls in her grasp.

“No, no, no… you can’t kill me… Our Yanyang Sect also has an immortal ancestor. If you… if you kill me… he… he won’t let you go.”

Mo Long struggled desperately, trying to use a bluff as a threat.

“If I kill all of you, who will know?”

Qi Huang quipped, and with a slight tightening of her Divine Sense, the more than ten Life Souls from the Yanyang Sect were instantly crushed.

After disposing of that group of trash, Qi Huang turned around with a radiant and gentle smile. “It’s alright now. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.”

“Wuwu…”

Having survived the ordeal, Zhong Qin collapsed. She stumbled forward and threw her arms around Qi Huang’s slender waist, burying her delicate, beautiful face into Qi Huang’s “broad” chest. Her sobs caused visible ripples to spread from her bosom.

“Wuwuwu… Ancestor… I, Zhong Qin, have been unfilial… I nearly failed to protect the Lingxi Sect…”

As she cried and apologized, she also kept rubbing herself against her.

Qi Huang certainly enjoyed teasing beautiful women, but that didn’t mean she liked being taken advantage of herself. She instinctively wanted to push Zhong Qin away, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she gently stroked Zhong Qin’s hair with her hand.

“Wuwu… Ancestor… Thank the heavens you arrived in time… Otherwise, the Lingxi Sect would have been finished today.”

“Ancestor… You don’t know how much we’ve suffered during this time… You must seek justice for the Lingxi Sect!”

“Especially that Immortal Alliance… they’ve gone too far… brazenly suppressing us… You have to get justice for us!”

The rest of the Lingxi Sect disciples also fell to their knees, wailing uncontrollably.

“Don’t worry. With me here, no one will bully you ever again.”

Qi Huang comforted them.

“By the way… Ancestor…”

Zhong Qin suddenly remembered something and choked out a warning: “That… that leader of the invading evil spirits is really strong. Even Immortal Might… even that couldn’t suppress him. You must be careful.”

“No worries. If Immortal Might can’t suppress him, I will.”

Qi Huang smiled confidently.

At that moment, the Zombie General had already slaughtered every cultivator in the Divine Realm present. He slowly returned to the plaza and looked at the people of the Lingxi Sect. “Alright, now it’s your turn. Since you didn’t try to escape, this general will show some mercy and let you become evil spirits. Want to be zombies or malicious ghosts? Choose for yourselves.”

“What if we still want to remain human?”

Qi Huang looked at the Zombie General calmly.

“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?”

The Zombie General studied Qi Huang curiously. He had no idea who this woman was or where she came from, nor where her confidence came from, but none of that mattered. He continued, “Want to remain human? Fine! If you can escape from this general’s hands, not only can you be human, you can be an immortal or even a god.”

“Escape? You’re thinking too highly of yourself. With your meager abilities, you’re not even qualified to make me take a step back.”

Qi Huang replied with contempt.

“Do you even know who she is? She’s our Lingxi Sect’s immortal ancestor! How could she be afraid of some lowly evil spirit like you?”

Zhong Qin chimed in with full confidence, clearly trusting Qi Huang deeply.

“Well said! I like that!”

Qi Huang clapped her hands in satisfaction.

“Immortal, huh?”

The Zombie General once again scrutinized Qi Huang before sneering, “Even if your main body really is an immortal, so what? If you’re just a doppelgänger in the cultivation world, then at most you’re at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. How can you fight me?”

“How do you know I’m only at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”

Qi Huang asked curiously.

“If your strength had reached the Human Immortal Realm, and you didn’t have Assimilation Power to protect you, how could you exist in the cultivation world at all?”

The Zombie General analyzed confidently.

“Good analysis. Next time, don’t bother.”

Qi Huang taunted.

“No analysis? Fine. Then this general will dismember you instead.”

The Zombie General lost his patience. With a flash of his claws, he vanished from where he stood.

The people of the Lingxi Sect were shaken to the core, their Divine Sense couldn’t lock onto him at all. The sense of security collapsed instantly. If it weren’t for Qi Huang’s presence, they might have already scattered in terror.

Zhong Qin instinctively grabbed onto Qi Huang’s shoulder, her delicate body trembling violently with fear.

But Qi Huang was different. Her Divine Sense was powerful enough that to her, the Zombie General’s movement was only marginally faster than a crawling snail.

The Zombie General didn’t use his full power. He assumed everyone present were lambs to be slaughtered. Especially when his claw was about to reach Qi Huang’s proud chest—

Unfortunately, this time he was wrong!

In the nick of time, a long spear blocked the path in front of Qi Huang.

Clang!

As claw met spear tip, a sharp metallic clang rang out, followed by a faint ripple of spatial energy spreading outward.

Qi Huang released her Divine Sense, forming a protective shield around herself and the Lingxi Sect members.

The Zombie General felt an unfamiliar force surge up his arm, and the recoil sent him stumbling several steps to the side. Shock flashed across his face. He looked up to find that the long spear had already returned to Qi Huang’s side, floating steadily.

“Since this general arrived on Kaiyuan Planet, you are the first to block one of my attacks. Now I’m beginning to believe you really are an immortal’s doppelgänger.”

The Zombie General flexed his slightly numb right hand and continued, “But that’s all you are. Now I’ll show you my real strength.”

“You all back off. Let me have some fun with this little zombie.”

Qi Huang ordered the Lingxi Sect disciples.

“Then, Ancestor, please be careful.”

Though reluctant, Zhong Qin obeyed and led the others to retreat a safe distance away.

The Zombie General surged with black mist. In a flash, he disappeared again, but this time his speed was dozens of times faster than before. His sharp zombie claws tore through the fabric of space like scissors slicing silk.

“In a hurry?”

Qi Huang mocked calmly. Her Divine Sense channeled into the spear, which surged forward. The razor-sharp spear tip effortlessly tore through the spatial barriers, its speed evenly matched against the enemy.

Clang, clang, clang…!

A rapid flurry of metallic collisions rang out. The Zombie General tried to slip past the spear to attack Qi Huang directly, but no matter how he moved, he couldn’t get past the spear’s impenetrable defense. The space between them began to crack under the strain, then collapsed entirely, revealing the deep night sky of the Immortal Realm.

The nearby Lingxi Sect disciples were dumbfounded. They knew how impossibly tough spatial barriers were, yet now, they shattered like fragile glass. Just what level of battle was this?

“What are you doing? Playing around? Why don’t you just kill him already?”

Cheng Hongling’s voice rang out from the storage ring, sounding a little exasperated.

“I can’t kill him. If I kill him, who will go trouble the Immortal Alliance? And if he doesn’t cause trouble, who will come begging me for help? And if no one begs, how will I unify this entire Kaiyuan Planet?”

Qi Huang fired off a series of rhetorical questions.

Cheng Hongling understood and fell silent.

Qi Huang and the Zombie General “fought” for a full hour. In the end, neither could gain the upper hand, and the space above the Lingxi Sect was completely destroyed.

“If you keep fighting, aren’t you afraid the real Zhong Zhen will show up? Let’s see how you plan to keep acting then.”

Cheng Hongling reminded her kindly.

“She probably won’t. The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless. Zhong Zhen definitely can’t get here in such a short time.”

Qi Huang said confidently.

“What if, by chance, she’s already nearby?”

Cheng Hongling teased.
