Chapter 44: Quick, Let Him Go

"Attack! Capture Mo Qianqian!" the Chen Family Master shouted from a distance.

Over a dozen Chen Family Elders sprang into action. All of them boasted cultivation bases at or above the sixth or seventh level of the Spirit Vein Realm, and there were even Elders at the Spirit Vein Realm Ninth Layer among them. So what if Mo Qianqian had previously defeated Shi Yunhai at the Seventh Level of Spiritual Vein Realm? Faced with so many experts joining forces, there was no way Mo Qianqian could fend them off.

SWISH!

Mo Qianqian moved. He charged forward with great strides, clashing head-on with the first old man rushing toward him. It was a Chen Family Elder at the Seventh Level of Spiritual Vein Realm. Surging with a majestic aura, the Elder unleashed a powerful palm strike heavily toward Mo Qianqian. Mo Qianqian countered with a ferocious punch, slamming directly into the Chen Family Elder’s palm.

BAM!

The power of the First Realm Sixth Layer was incredibly overwhelming. It forcefully knocked back the palm of the Chen Family Elder, crushing the Elder’s own hand into his chest.

SPURT!

Blood sprayed wildly as Mo Qianqian’s fist pierced right through the Chen Family Elder’s chest and erupted from his back. The strike blasted a hole completely through his body, killing the Elder instantly on the spot. The old man’s eyes bulged with terror; he died without even realizing what had hit him.

"What!!!"

The Chen Family Master, Chen Zheng, Kong Mingcheng, and the others were instantly stricken with disbelief. That was a master at the Seventh Level of Spiritual Vein Realm! While perhaps slightly inferior to Shi Yunhai, he was by no means weak. Yet, he was punched clean through by Mo Qianqian in a single blow? How was this possible?

Even the bound Shi Muyao was taken aback. She wondered if Mo Qianqian had grown stronger again.

Yang Lan had never witnessed such a gruesome scene. She was thoroughly startled, even feeling a tinge of regret for cursing at Mo Qianqian just moments ago. However, upon further thought, with Mo Qianqian being so fierce, didn’t that mean they could be saved?

The group of people swarming up to besiege Mo Qianqian was equally shocked. Some even entertained the thought of retreating, but an Elder at the Spirit Vein Realm Ninth Layer immediately bellowed, "Kill him!"

Snapping back to reality, the dozen or so Chen Family experts lunged at Mo Qianqian. Those closest to him closed the distance in a few quick strides and unleashed a barrage of ferocious attacks.

In truth, Mo Qianqian was also surprised by his own ability to punch straight through the body of an expert at the Seventh Level of Spiritual Vein Realm. He quickly gathered his wits, retracted his arm, and dodged a sword thrust from another Chen Family Elder before swiftly landing a punch on his opponent’s body.

BAM!

The Chen Family Elder was sent flying by Mo Qianqian. Because he had prioritized speed over power, and since this Elder was at the Eighth Level of Spiritual Vein Realm, the punch didn’t pierce through his body this time. Still, the strike was more than enough to inflict serious injuries.

Immediately after, Mo Qianqian continuously evaded the relentless onslaught of the Chen Family’s group, his fists striking out left and right.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

One by one, the dozen or so Chen Family Elders were sent flying by Mo Qianqian, including two Elders at the Spirit Vein Realm Ninth Layer. Out of the more than ten people, almost no one could last more than a few exchanges against him.

Now, Chen Zheng, Kong Mingcheng, and the others near Shi Muyao, as well as the Chen Family Master standing slightly further away, were all filled with absolute astonishment. Under the siege of over a dozen experts, he was actually able to blast away cultivators at the Spirit Vein Realm Ninth Layer? How was this possible? Wasn’t Mo Qianqian only at the First Realm Fourth Level? How could his combat prowess be so insanely high?

"Mo Qianqian!"

The Chen Family Master’s eyes narrowed. With a flicker of his figure, his cultivation at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm First Layer erupted, and he prepared to dash toward Mo Qianqian.

But right at this moment, a clear, resonant shout echoed through the air. "Mo Qianqian!!!"

A handsome young man dressed in white, holding a folding fan and with a sword hanging by his waist, strode into the Chen Family Martial Arts Arena. Following closely behind the white-clad youth were the Shi Family troops, including the father-daughter pair, Shi Gong and Shi Yan.

"Wu Yubai!"

Seeing the effeminate-looking man, Mo Qianqian’s gaze sharpened. The newcomer was none other than Wu Yubai! Previously, the Yuling Sect Master had mentioned that Lian Ziying confessed it was Wu Yubai who ordered them to cruelly harm Shi Muyao. And now, Wu Yubai had actually shown up here!

Witnessing the scene before them, the Shi Family members who had arrived alongside Wu Yubai all revealed expressions of surprise. Over a dozen Chen Family Elders had all been beaten to the ground by Mo Qianqian? How was this possible? When did Mo Qianqian’s strength reach such terrifying heights? Didn’t that mean the entire Shi Family combined was no longer a match for him?

Wu Yubai also furrowed his brows. Mo Qianqian’s combat prowess genuinely surprised him. However, these people from the Chen Family were nothing but small fry. How could they possibly be compared to a genius like him? Mo Qianqian might have been able to defeat them, but that didn’t prove he had the strength to rival him. After all, he was currently a genius at the Spirit Vein Realm Ninth Layer!

"Mo Qianqian, because you brought that bitch to the Yuling Sect, I was expelled!" Wu Yubai drew his sword as he walked forward. "Though it was a blessing in disguise that allowed me to become a disciple of the Cloud Void Sect, I am far from finished with you two over this matter!"

Wu Yubai was still furious about the incident. Otherwise, given his status in the Yuling Sect, he would have been highly valued. Now, even though he had joined the Cloud Void Sect, he wasn’t receiving much attention at all.

Of course, he had no idea that the Spirit Master was actually Mo Qianqian as well. Had he known, Wu Yubai would likely be even more enraged right now.
