Lin Qingxiang hurriedly parried with his sword, but was pushed ten feet away by a tremendous force, leaving two furrows in the ground. Looking up, he saw that the usually inconspicuous little sister had turned completely red, with red mist emanating from her, as if she were wearing a blood-stained robe. She exuded an extremely evil aura, like a demon king who had stepped out of hell.

"Who are you?"

Chapter 752 Blood Incarnation

One drop of Myriad Filth Tainted Blood is equivalent to the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation stage. Liu Qingqing has three drops of Myriad Filth Tainted Blood in her hands, and she has also inherited a portion of the power of the Beast King Anye. All of these combined have almost broken through the limit of the Spirit Transformation. If judged by the level of Internal Cultivation, she is at least above level 20.

What limited Liu Qingqing's power was her own body, which could not withstand too much power, otherwise she would be in danger of exploding and dying. Therefore, when she sparred with Lin Qingxiang, she only displayed the Early Spirit Transformation realm.

However, when she uses a bow and arrow, the power she can unleash increases by two levels. As long as the arrow doesn't explode when it's nocked, it doesn't matter what happens after it's shot. Let the energy dissipate or be wasted. Even if a small portion is lost, what's left is far better than 100% utilization.

"Saturn Arrow - Sacrificial Rites of a Hundred Peaks!"

Liu Qingqing fired another arrow, and a tremendous gravitational force spread out, sending fragments of stone mixed with mud and dust flying into the sky against the natural order, converging towards the arrow and quickly forming a colossal pillar. Then, it suddenly contracted and compressed inward, forcibly gathering and compressing itself from a fifty-meter-long pillar to a thirty-meter-long one. Although its size had shrunk, its strength had increased, making it even more threatening.

Lin Qingtong's left eye was completely obscured by the stone pillar, turning it gray and dark. She grinned coldly, revealing her blood-stained teeth. Her eyes were filled with a fierce light. She held her sword with both hands and roared angrily. The air currents from all directions converged to form a ferocious roc. She thrust her One Sword forward, and the air was instantly shattered, spreading out in circles of ripples.

The moment the blunted alloy greatsword struck the stone pillar, an explosion occurred. Amidst flying rocks, the greatsword plunged three feet inward, parrying the fierce blow that felt like Mount Tai crashing down.

However, although Lin Qingtong was strong, her weight was far less than that of the towering pillar. In a pure contest of strength, she was clearly at a disadvantage and was forced to retreat. Her Qi and Blood and qi churned and her body felt like it was about to disintegrate. Fortunately, she had a metal body. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been crushed into a pile of minced meat by the impact when the heavy sword collided with the stone pillar.

The stone pillar pressed down on Lin Qingtong, causing her back to gradually bend, her feet sinking into the ground, and her body to hunch downwards. After a moment of stalemate, she took a deep breath, her face turning fierce and terrifying, and suddenly let out a loud shout, her muscles swelling once again.

"Break it for me--"

Like a spring compressed to its limit, Lin Qingtong poured all her True Qi into her arms, combined with external force, and pushed them back forward. A large amount of strong wind energy flowed into the stone pillar through the alloy heavy sword, disintegrating it from the inside. Thus, starting from the tip of the pillar, from front to back, the stone pillar exploded one after another, dust swirled in the sky, and fragments of stone rained down on the ground.

However, before Lin Qingtong could catch her breath after shattering the stone arrow, the sky suddenly turned crimson. Looking up, she saw Liu Qingqing leap into the air, unfurling a pair of enormous blood wings that blotted out the sun. She held a bow and arrow, and scorching flames gathered around the arrow, forming a giant evil eye.

"Mars Arrow - Fierce Blazing Flames!"

Lin Qingtong was shocked. "Doesn't she need to catch her breath?"

Unbeknownst to her, Liu Qingqing had consumed the Primal Qi of the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood, without using any of her own True Qi. The Primal Qi consumed by that arrow was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood, and she didn't need to replenish it at all.

Regardless of Lin Qingtong's thoughts, Liu Qingqing did not hesitate for a moment. The moment she released the bowstring, the arrow, carrying a scorching stream of fire, crashed down like a meteorite, turning the sky crimson.

Before the arrow even arrived, Lin Qingtong, who was locked onto by its intent, felt as if she were being burned alive. Her whole body was in excruciating pain, and her blood seemed to be boiling and evaporating. The illusion that even her soul was being burned almost swallowed her mind, making her feel a sense of crisis for the first time.

Has that seemingly insignificant girl, always blending into the crowd like background figures, easily overlooked if she doesn't speak, actually become this powerful?

Every muscle in her body subtly tensed. Lin Qingtong gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers. She didn't stir up a single bit of wind or energy, but instead unleashed a vast and boundless aura that encompassed the heavens and the earth, covering all directions.

"The Peng's Heavenly Whirl!"

Two sharp whistles suddenly rang out, and a divine light streaked across the sky like a meteor, trailing a long tail of flame, descending from the heavens. Another divine light emerged from the earth like a dragon rising from the abyss, flashing with a chilling light.

The moment the two collided, a dense cloud of fiery red light spread out, burning everything in its path and turning the earth into a scorched wasteland. Lin Qingxiang hurriedly set up three layers of Sword Qi barriers around him to block the impact.

Liu Qingqing, who was suspended in mid-air, frowned. She had lost her lock on Lin Qingtong. The clash between the flaming arrow and the heavy sword had generated a violent fluctuation of Primal Qi, which interfered with her aura sensing. At this moment, she could only use her naked eyes to find the other party's figure. She flapped her blood wings and continued to fly upward, looking down at the earth as she gained altitude.

Suddenly, a black dot rapidly grew larger in the sky and plummeted towards Liu Qingqing; it was Lin Qingtong.

Her entire body was covered in burns, she was barely clothed, and only a small amount of her hair remained, which was charred and curled up. There was even an arrow hole in her right chest. However, these injuries were healing at a visible speed.

Super regeneration and no vital organs are the abilities possessed after the body is completely Metal Cells. Even if the heart is destroyed and the brain is stirred with a finger, Lin Qingtong still cannot be killed. To kill her, more than 90% of the Metal Cells must be eliminated, or all Metal Cells activity must be annihilated.

This was a trump card she had deliberately hidden in the previous battles, which she could use to escape if she encountered a powerful enemy like Si Ming. But now she had to reveal it, because without recovering from her injuries, she was simply unable to continue fighting.

However, her right eye had not yet recovered, because Lin Qingxiang's Illusory Moth Sword Qi still lingered there. This kind of assassination Swordsmanship's Sword Qi is extremely insidious. It was originally used to guard against accidental failures. If the target was not killed, the remaining Sword Qi could be used to torture them to death, so it is extremely difficult to eradicate.

Lin Qingxiang was on the ground, spotted Lin Qingtong and hurriedly shouted a warning, "Be careful, she's up there!"

"Too late!"

In Lin Qingtong's view, Liu Qingqing possessed powerful cultivation and, although her combat awareness was not bad, she lacked experience. Those battle-hardened martial artists would never make such a mistake of being distracted, but Liu Qingqing easily stepped into the trap.

The alloy heavy sword slashed down from the sky, its fierce sword force cutting through the air and forming a long vortex tail. Judging from its momentum, it seemed to intend to cut Liu Qingqing in two. Lin Qingtong had no intention of showing any mercy, and her eyes were filled with madness.

Liu Qingqing only had time to turn around before a fierce and domineering One Sword was only half a zhang away from her head. Just as she was about to be cut down by the sword, the blood wings on her back suddenly closed forward, forming a protective shield that enveloped her body.

"What the hell is this?!"

The alloy heavy sword struck the Bloodwing, unleashing a powerful One Sword that shattered it into pieces. However, the Bloodwing was sticky and soft, and Lin Qingtong herself was forced back a great distance by the impact.

Liu Qingqing remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever about nearly losing her life to a sword after falling into a trap. It seemed she had anticipated making a mistake due to her lack of experience. She drew her bow again, condensing her True Qi into the arrow, which was then dispersed by the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood. This time, she used her own power.

"Pelting Rain of Arrows!"

An arrow was shot out, instantly transforming into a dense rain of arrows; thousands of bursts of energy pierced through the air without leaving any gaps.

Lin Qingtong knew she had to close the distance and engage in close combat to have any chance of winning. So she raised her sword to protect her head and chest, and charged into the rain of arrows without hesitation. Although her head and heart were no longer her vital organs, the cellular activity required for their recovery was far greater than that required for other organs.

Liu Qingqing's internal Internal Cultivation was only at level nine, and she was using an area-of-effect attack, which was even weaker. A single arrow that hit Lin Qingtong could only break the skin slightly, and with the regenerative power of the Metal Cells, it would heal in the blink of an eye, without causing any real damage.

Lin Qingtong felt reassured and decided that she would risk injury to kill Liu Qingqing. Braving the rain of arrows, she quickly approached and immediately unleashed her remaining strength. She wielded the heavy sword with both hands, the air currents surging like a roaring wind dragon, forming a hurricane around the blade. The cold sword blade turned crimson red from friction with the air, and a rolling heat surged forth. This One Sword left no way out, no room for retreat, a selfless act of defiance.

"Heavenly Peng's Seven Leaps!"

Seven clones surrounded Liu Qingqing, fiercely slashing with their alloy heavy swords. Each strike was delivered with all their might, as powerful as thunder and lightning. Even Spirit Transformation expert, unless they were a body cultivator proficient in strength, would have to retreat in the face of this One Sword and dare not take it head-on. However, the seven swords combined to form a sword array, converging into a raging Torrent overwhelmed everything, surging endlessly, leaving no room for retreat.

The seven swords are extremely fast and fierce, arriving in an instant. Not only are they difficult to parry, but they are also impossible to dodge. It is like a person who has been thrown into Torrent. Only by struggling against the current can they perhaps have a chance to survive. If they try to retreat or catch their breath, they will be swept away by the flood and drift with the current, dying without a burial place.

Liu Qingqing didn't see this, but she didn't back down either. Her body hovered in the air without moving. The Myriad Filth Tainted Blood had been shattered was gathered behind her again, but this time it didn't condense into blood wings. Instead, it transformed into a pair of huge blood fists and punched towards the alloy heavy sword.

With each collision, the blood fist would be shattered by the heavy sword, but it would instantly reform and meet the next punch. Lin Qingtong's seven swords seemed to attack simultaneously, but in reality, there were still differences in speed, which gave Liu Qingqing the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang, seven collisions, Lin Qingtong's seven sword swings were all blocked. In her incredulous gaze, two huge blood hands that had been reborn and restored interlocked their fingers and merged into a giant hammer that slammed down on her.
