Chapter 48: Then I Will Personally Kill Her

SPLAT!

Cai Ye’s fist, and even half of his arm, exploded into a gory mess of flesh and blood.

"Ahhh!!!"

Cai Ye let out an agonizing scream. He never expected Mo Qianqian to unleash such a bizarre attack, blasting half his arm to bits and shattering his bones along with it. Half of his left arm was gone!

SWISH!

After executing this strike, Mo Qianqian’s speed slowed by a fraction, allowing Qin Chao to slash him with his sword. However, Qin Chao’s blade didn’t cut deep into Mo Qianqian’s body—at most, barely half an inch. Blood sprayed as the force of the sword strike knocked Mo Qianqian backward.

Had it been anyone else, this sword strike would have left them severely wounded. But thanks to a Body Cultivator’s remarkable resilience, this blow didn’t inflict any critical damage on Mo Qianqian.

"That attack again!"

Seeing the scene unfold, astonishment spread across the faces of the Shi Family members. Last time, Shi Yunhai had been defeated by this very same attack from Mo Qianqian. Now, even Cai Ye—a cultivator at the Spirit Xuan Realm Third Layer—had fallen victim to it, having half of his arm instantly blown to pieces.

Qin Chao was equally shocked; he hadn’t anticipated Mo Qianqian pulling off such a move. If that strike had been aimed at him, he would have been the one losing an arm.

"Chen Family! Shi Family! What are you waiting for? Help me!" Qin Chao barked coldly, the sword in his hand turning even more aggressive.

Initially, he had been holding back slightly, but now he unleashed his powerful killing moves without reservation. A barrage of fiercer sword combos rained down on Mo Qianqian, leaving him with no opening to use that explosive strike again.

And indeed, that was the case. For one, Mo Qianqian had no opportunity. For another, channeling the World-Destroying Heaven-Shattering Technique took a massive toll on him. After using it once, he needed to recover for a while before he could launch it again.

At this moment, the injured Chen Family Master also grabbed his sword and charged forward. The high-level Spirit Vein Realm Elders of the Qin Family also rushed out once more.

"Anyone at or above the Spirit Vein Realm Sixth Layer, attack, but be careful!" a Shi Family Elder shouted on the other side before charging in with his sword.

Several Shi Family members surged forward as well. Among them was Shi Yan’s father, Shi Gong.

Soon, Mo Qianqian was heavily surrounded by the mob. Snatching a sword, Mo Qianqian parried with his left hand while looking for openings to throw punches with his right, engaging the crowd in a fierce melee.

"Mo Qianqian, I’ll kill you!!!"

Cai Ye ripped a piece of cloth from his uninjured side, tied off his severed arm, and swallowed a Healing Elixir. Brandishing his broadsword, he charged at Mo Qianqian and rejoined the fray. Even missing an arm, Cai Ye’s combat prowess at the Spirit Xuan Realm Third Layer remained formidable.

Coupled with their overwhelming numbers, Mo Qianqian was indeed at a massive disadvantage without utilizing his Spirit Master abilities. Fortunately, given his physical toughness, those at the Spirit Vein Realm couldn’t inflict much damage on him. Furthermore, whenever he seized an opening, he could easily send his opponents flying. Especially the Spirit Vein Realm cultivators—one strike was enough to send them flying and leave them severely wounded.

After the intense battle waged on for a while, numerous wounds had appeared on Mo Qianqian’s body. The forces from both the Chen Family and the Shi Family had also taken heavy losses, with many sent flying and some even outright killed by his blows. In addition, the injured Cai Ye wouldn’t actually be able to hold out for much longer.

SWOOSH!

Right then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Mo Qianqian’s body. It was unmistakably the aura of the First Realm Seventh Layer! After engaging in a bloody battle with the mob, Mo Qianqian’s physical body had broken through once again!

"First Realm Seventh Layer... He broke through!" Qin Chao’s expression changed drastically.

As it turned out, Mo Qianqian had been at the First Realm Sixth Layer all along, not the First Realm Fourth Level like the Chen Family had claimed. And now, in the midst of battle, his cultivation had advanced another layer!

Cai Ye was equally astonished.

As expected of the one who ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List. Even after his Spirit Vein had been crippled, he had broken through to the First Realm Seventh Layer in such a short time. He could even use the pressure of battle to force a breakthrough. Moreover, his current combat strength was no longer something they could contend with.

"Elder Kong Ren, strike now!" Cai Ye bellowed.

SWISH!

The moment his words fell, an elderly figure darted toward the Martial Arts Arena. It was none other than Kong Mingcheng’s father, Kong Ren!

Kong Ren had refrained from acting out of fear of the Wanling Pavilion Master. But now, he had no choice but to intervene.

"Hmph! Mo Qianqian, you dared to ruin my son’s manhood. Today, this old man will pay you back in full!" Kong Ren roared, charging swiftly into the battlefield.

SWISH! SWISH!

At the exact same moment, two more figures sprinted toward the battlefield at blinding speed. They were an old woman and an elderly man in grayish-brown robes.

Mo Qianqian had met them both before. They were impressively two Elders from the Yuling Sect—Hou Wei and Mo Hao.

Elder Hou Wei’s arrival was naturally within Mo Qianqian’s expectations. When he left the Yuling Sect under his Spirit Master identity, he had already spoken to Elder Hou Wei, and she had agreed to come to his aid. Although she was assisting his Spirit Master identity, the result would be the same. Both involved standing by his side to rescue Shi Muyao.

However, Mo Hao’s presence surprised Mo Qianqian. He had only mentioned this matter to Hou Wei, so she must have brought him along. In his Spirit Master identity, he had killed Mo Hao’s disciple, leading to a conflict between them. Dragging Mo Hao into this... he had no idea if it would cause unexpected trouble later on.
