Chapter 63 - 60: Lao Liu

"What?" The others charging forward revealed expressions of utter disbelief.

Mo Qianqian had killed their Cloud Void Sect’s number one genius, Mu Yan Mountain, who had a cultivation at the Fifth Level of Spirit Mysterious Realm and ranked thirty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon List? They wondered how Mo Qianqian could possibly achieve such a feat.

"If you’re looking for death, then I’ll oblige!"

Seeing that it would be difficult to flee, Mo Qianqian charged directly toward an old man in one direction. He was currently at the Second Realm First Layer, his body brimming with power. Even a genius like Mu Yan Mountain at the Seventh Level of Spirit Xuan Realm, he could easily kill. Against ordinary experts at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer or the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm, he felt he wouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage. Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about these people.

"Kill—kill him!"

The old man charging head-on toward Mo Qianqian shouted coldly. The aura of the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer erupted from his body. Right from the start, he unleashed his lifelong strength and attacked Mo Qianqian.

Mo Qianqian’s body surged with vast righteous energy. As soon as he rushed forward, he executed the First Form of the Vast Spear Technique. He thrust his spear straight out, allowing the opponent’s sword to slash against his long spear.

CLANG!

Accompanied by a violent sound of clashing metal, Mo Qianqian’s spear was unstoppable. It was merely deflected by half an inch from the impact before piercing into the body of the old man at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer.

SQUELCH!

Blood splattered. Mo Qianqian’s spear pierced through the old man’s body, stopping right next to his heart.

"You..." The old man was not killed instantly; his face revealed an expression of disbelief. He wondered how his cultivation at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer couldn’t completely deflect Mo Qianqian’s spear, and why Mo Qianqian’s strength was so immense.

The others also wore shocked expressions. The other two old men—one at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm and the other at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer—both charged at Mo Qianqian.

Not daring to delay, Mo Qianqian immediately pulled out his spear. He circulated the second form of the Vast Spear Technique within his body, shifted his footwork, and dashed toward the old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm.

SPLURT!

Copious amounts of blood spurted from the wound of the old man whose body the spear had just been yanked from. He fell to his knees. Although the spear hadn’t pierced his heart for an instant kill, he wouldn’t survive either.

"Righteous Qi Devouring Heaven and Earth, our generation suppresses the mountains and rivers!"

Rolling righteous energy surged around Mo Qianqian. Carrying a momentum capable of swallowing mountains and rivers, he charged directly at the old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm. He gripped the spear with both hands, raised it toward the sky, and then smashed it heavily toward the old man.

"Hmph!" The old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm snorted coldly. He brandished his broadsword and met Mo Qianqian’s spear with an unparalleled, tyrannical slash.

CLANG!

With a loud, resounding crash, the impact forced the old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm to spit blood from his mouth. He was driven to his knees, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What!" The five people charging from behind were shocked once more.

Even their Cloud Void Sect’s Elder at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm was not Mo Qianqian’s match? Just how tyrannical was Mo Qianqian’s strength? Wasn’t Mo Qianqian only at the First Realm Seventh Layer when he was back in Qingcheng? They wondered how he could have become so powerful in such a short period of time.

SWISH!

By now, the other old man at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer had already reached Mo Qianqian, thrusting his longsword at Mo Qianqian’s back. However, Mo Qianqian dodged it.

Soon, the other five people also rushed over and launched rapid attacks on Mo Qianqian. They knew they couldn’t allow Mo Qianqian to prepare any powerful trump cards. But even Mo Qianqian’s casual strikes carried overwhelmingly immense power. It wasn’t something they could withstand.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Mo Qianqian knocked the group of people back one after another. He turned to look at the injured old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The old man hadn’t been heavily injured to the point of being unable to fight; he was merely wounded. Mo Qianqian concluded that relying purely on strength and the explosive power of the Vast Spear Technique, his Second Realm First Layer cultivation could defeat someone at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm, but couldn’t outright kill them. This was roughly the limit of his combat prowess.

The old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm circulated his power and hurriedly got up, preparing to intercept Mo Qianqian’s attack. The other six people also dashed toward Mo Qianqian again.

Just as Mo Qianqian was about to charge at the old man at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm, a figure flew through the air.

"Cloud Void Sect Master!"

Mo Qianqian’s expression changed drastically. He hastily turned around and fled through a gap left by the six or seven people.

To think the Cloud Void Sect Master had actually come in person! He thought this was entirely unreasonable. Before this, he had only been at the mere First Realm Seventh Layer. How had he provoked the Cloud Void Sect Master into personally hunting him down? Now, he was in grave danger! He was clearly no match for an expert in the Tongyou Realm.

"How dare you!!!"

Seeing the scene on the ground, the Cloud Void Sect Master was furious. An incredibly dense killing intent erupted from his body, and a powerful, oppressive aura swept down toward the area ahead. Mo Qianqian had actually killed his disciple! He had even killed a Cloud Void Sect Elder at the Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer!

"Kill him!" The others also gave chase.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say!"

Right at this moment, a somewhat childish female voice suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a petite figure flew through the air at an extremely fast speed. She soared right over Mo Qianqian’s head and blocked the path of the approaching Cloud Void Sect Master.

It was a young girl wearing a green dress. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tender, slightly round baby face. Her stature was only a little over five feet, but her figure was developing remarkably fast, already round and full.

"Who are you?"

The Cloud Void Sect Master’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately halted his momentum in midair. Flying through the air at such extreme speed—that was undeniably the cultivation of the Tongyou Realm! For someone to reach the Tongyou Realm at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her background was definitely not simple. The Cloud Void Sect Master did not act rashly.

The others from the Cloud Void Sect also came to a halt. Mo Qianqian also quickly stopped in his tracks, turning around to look in utter astonishment.

"Fifteen or sixteen years old, with a Tongyou Realm cultivation?"

Seeing the young girl, a look of surprise also appeared on Mo Qianqian’s face. Even when he was ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List back in the day, he hadn’t stepped into the Tongyou Realm. Yet this girl, at such a young age, had already reached the Tongyou Realm? Then why didn’t he recognize her? He had met almost everyone near the top of the Hidden Dragon List, but he had never seen this young girl. And why was she helping him?

"Fifteen or sixteen years old, with a Tongyou Realm cultivation? Who are you?" the injured Elder at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm asked in sheer shock.

The other three young men and two middle-aged men were also full of surprise. The three young men, in particular, found the reality before them hard to accept. The monstrous fact that Mo Qianqian could fight someone at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm was already enough to provoke them. And now, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old Tongyou Realm genius had suddenly popped up. It was simply unimaginable.

"Me? My name is Lao Liu," the girl replied with a murmur.

The crowd fell speechless. Mo Qianqian was also momentarily left speechless. Who in the world was named Lao Liu?

"To reach the Tongyou Realm at this age, your talent, potential, and strength should undoubtedly place you in the top five of the Hidden Dragon List. But why have I never heard of your name, Miss?" the Cloud Void Sect Master asked, his expression incredibly solemn.

"Because... even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand," the girl in the green dress said.

The Cloud Void Sect Master fell silent, and the crowd was at a loss for words. They wondered if this girl wasn’t very bright.

"Regardless of your background, our dispute with Mo Qianqian has nothing to do with you, does it?" the Cloud Void Sect Master subsequently asked.
