The consequences of going all out from nerves

The pine forest is vast, exuding a faint scent of pine resin. The pine needles on the branches are densely packed, like clusters of slender green swords. A clear spring flows gently through the forest, and a pool of Fire Spring spreads silently. The crimson sunset reflects on the ancient pines, making the scenery here exceptionally beautiful.

However, with no one to appreciate the scenery, the atmosphere was unusually tense. No one expected that they would unexpectedly meet here as soon as they entered the Spirit Cave.

Li Qingxu, dressed in purple, held Purple Bamboo Stick tempered by the Heavenly Light, a smile on his face, calm and composed.

Now, it's not that he's trapped in a hunting situation, but rather that his opponent Li Qingyue, is being cornered here by him and his acquaintances.

However, neither of the two acquaintances has responded yet, and they seem to have been caught off guard by this situation.

Li Qingyue, clad in silver armor, her black hair fluttering in the wind, Say More and moved directly toward Li Qingxu.

At this moment, she was extremely assertive. Although her figure was as slender as a willow branch, her aura was very compelling after she put on her armor, unlike before.

Her whole body was enveloped in radiant light, and the pine branches and vines that blocked her path were parted, making the ground seem to be paved with a glowing road that stretched forward.

"Wang Caiwei won't make a move. You all wait here," Li Qingyue secretly transmitted, instructing Qin Ming and the other three Golden Armor Guard not to follow.

In fact, Qin Ming had already predicted that Wang Caiwei would not participate.

If she helps Li Qingxu, what will Cui Chonghe think when he finds out afterwards?

Zheng Maoze wanted to wipe his sweat. How could he have encountered such a start? This puzzled him.

Because they can't kill anyone here to cover it up, whether it's Li Qingxu or Li Qingyue, even if they're severely injured, they'll definitely be able to escape the Spirit Cave. If they're forced to choose sides now, they'll offend people no matter which side they choose.

In terms of personal relationships, he has become quite close to Li Qingxu in the past two years, after all, the latter is exceptionally talented and has a terrifyingly protective teacher.

However, Li Qingyue's rise to power is also very strong, and she is not afraid of anyone when facing them alone.

After some struggle, Zheng Maoze, who was slightly stocky, spoke up, "We're all acquaintances, old friends who used to be very close. There's no need to be so tense."

Qin Ming knew that this was very much in line with Zheng Dazhuang's personality; although he seemed rough at first glance, he was actually very thoughtful.

Zheng Maoze had already determined that Wang Caiwei wouldn't make a move. He had long known that the eldest daughter of the Wang Family was no ordinary person; she had always been smiling at people over the years and he had never seen her lose her temper.

Besides the reason Qin Ming identified, Zheng Maoze felt there were other reasons that could be used to predict that she wouldn't participate.

One of the reasons is that Li Qingyue confronted Li Qingxu because she publicly brought up past events to stand up for her old friend Qin Ming and settle old scores. Wang Caiwei is also one of the parties involved in the past. After all, she once traveled with Qin Ming. If she helps Li Qingxu deal with Li Qingyue this time, some people might gossip that she is cold-hearted.

Another very important point is that Li Qingxu is currently being targeted by several Core Disciple, making his chances of obtaining Near-Immortal artifact somewhat slim.

However, Li Qingyue has a great chance. If she obtains it, she is destined to become an extremely important figure in the Beyond the Mundane. In the long run, it is even more inappropriate to offend her.

Sure enough, Wang Caiwei, dressed in black armor, smiled, her smile bright yet gentle, instantly making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

She smoothed things over, saying, "We were friends back then, so why have we become estranged since coming to this Beyond the Mundane? If we join forces, our power will be immense; wouldn't that be better than fighting each other?"

Li Qingyue continued walking, her graceful body glowing, her silver armor clanging as she stepped on the thick layer of pine needles. She smiled at Wang Caiwei and nodded to Zheng Maoze, acknowledging their words and actions.

Li Qingxu sighed inwardly. In fact, he had anticipated this situation, but he couldn't avoid Li Qingyue and was bound to fight her.

In fact, Li Qingxu is really strong; otherwise, Tang Xumi, Jiang Shengyu, and others wouldn't have followed Li Qingyue in targeting him.

At this moment, he remained expressionless, only glancing at Wang Caiwei without saying a word, before secretly transmitting his voice to Zheng Maoze using Secret Method.

"What?!" Zheng Maoze was shocked.

Li Qingxu mentioned his master, that incredibly protective and terrifying Old Senior, who was in his prime and had many years left to live.

Moreover, Li Qingxu made a promise to him that could immediately improve his strength.

Therefore, Zheng Maoze's expression changed slightly. There were benefits to be gained, but more importantly, he was very afraid of that Old Senior, the kind of person that even Millennium Aristocratic Family would not want to offend.

"Qing Yue, I'm sorry, I have my reasons for intervening. But don't worry, I'm just here for the fun, I don't have the strength to hurt you, and I won't really fight to the death." Zheng Maoze secretly transmitted his voice, indicating that he was about to enter the fray.

Beside him, He Tai, who had mastered the Great Ape King Force, was an absolutely terrifying master, hailed as a future Master of boxing. He had already killed Outer Saint during his New Life stage and was taking steps forward.

He Tai was a young powerhouse specially invited by the Zheng Family, Millennium Aristocratic Family. Having received great benefits, he naturally had to do his best.

Zheng Maoze secretly instructed, "You don't need to follow me into the attack. Just hold off the four Golden Armor Guard beside Li Qingyue. Don't use any harsh attacks; just hold them off a little."

Li Qingyue's beautiful face revealed an icy coldness as she looked at He Tai, then changed direction and headed straight for him.

Clearly, she was worried that this person would seriously injure Qin Ming and the three Golden Armor Guard, and wanted to Exerted Effort him down first.

He Tai sensed something, and his entire body surged with Heavenly Light Force. His eyes revealed a wild light, as if a Great Ape King had been born, stirring up extremely terrifying fluctuations. As the Heavenly Light swept across, the ancient pine trees in front of him crumbled.

"Qing Yue, I've instructed He Tai not to actually harm your people. I swear I'm not lying," Zheng Maoze quickly transmitted his voice in secret.

He Tai is his trump card. If the two of them join forces, they might actually have a chance to obtain the legendary item. They absolutely cannot engage in a bloody battle beforehand.

Li Qingyue's eyes were deep and mysterious. She had cultivated her Spirit Eyes and could tell that Zheng Maoze was not lying. This time, she didn't say a word and rushed directly towards Li Qingxu.

Amidst the swirling clouds in the woods, she was bathed in dazzling light, her ethereal and otherworldly demeanor gone, replaced by a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.

Li Qingxu smiled. Although he wasn't confident in defeating Li Qingyue, Zheng Maoze was on his side, which was his biggest advantage.

In a battle between masters, even if one of them unexpectedly becomes significantly stronger, it can change the course of the battle, let alone with the addition of Zheng Maoze, who is not weak either.

"Li Qingyue, I'm afraid you'll be the first one eliminated!" Li Qingxu laughed.

His hair was glowing, his Purple Bamboo Stick, the nearby pine forest roared and trembled violently. His Consciousness Spirit Light expanded, intertwined, and twisted and shattered the nearby pines and giant vines.

Li Qingxu took the initiative to meet Li Qingyue. Before the two had even gotten close, their consciousness and the light of the Yellow Court had already collided, making the battlefield incredibly terrifying. Hundred-year-old pine trees exploded, and boulders disintegrated.

"Go and take care of her Golden Armor Guard!" Li Qingxu shouted, ordering the four experts behind him.

At the same time, he also looked at Zheng Maoze and his assistants.

Zheng Maoze gritted his teeth and made his move, then sent a telepathic message to He Tai, warning him not to get serious and not to kill him.

Behind Li Qingxu, four Golden Armor Guard fought, some with bare hands, others with heavy weapons Wolf Fang Club, and the most eye-catching was the golden-armored youth wielding Great Spear, who had probably inherited the legacy of the Overlord.

Clearly, Li Qingxu's teacher was deliberately showing people that even someone as powerful as the former peerless Overlord could only become a Golden Armor Guard in his eyes if they learned his legacy. This was a psychological intimidation.

The four bypassed the Core Disciple and rushed forward, their murderous aura shaking the pine forest; clearly, they were all Outer Saint.

At the critical moment Li Qingyue broke free from the encirclement of Li Qingxu and Zheng Maoze and charged towards the four. In an instant Five-Colored Divine Radiance surged, and the four people who passed through this area were immediately trapped in a quagmire.

"Li Qingyue, you can't interfere!" Li Qingxu, and the Purple Bamboo Stick in his hand, which had survived the dredging of the Worldly Heavenly Light, made a sonic boom and smashed into Li Qingyue's back.

At this moment, Qin Ming threw a series of spears. The four short spears pierced through the pine forest, making a terrifying sound like thunder, and arrived in front of the four Golden Armor Guard.

Although the four Outer Saint staggered and were nearly overturned by Li Qingyue, they were freed at the crucial moment thanks to Li Qingxu's intervention.

In an instant, the four men were enveloped in Heavenly Light, and with either their bare hands or their weapons, they deflected the four short spears thrown by Qin Ming. With a series of thuds, the spears pierced through the nearby thick pine trees.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn. It was clear that he could not deal with the four people by relying solely on his physical strength. His Heavenly Light could not yet leave his body and be infused into ordinary weapons, so the four short spears had no killing power against them.

"Kill!" The two men and one woman who had followed Li Qingyue for more than a year had already established themselves in the Outer Saint Domain. Now they were all shouting and charging forward, fearlessly meeting their opponents.

Qin Ming, holding his Bronze Staff, followed without a word, preparing for the great battle!

Seeing that Zheng Maoze 'Li Qingyue four henchmen were also approaching and trying to surround Qin Ming and the others, Li Qingyue took a deep breath and, despite the pressure from Li Qingxu and Zheng Maoze, dragged the two of them closer to the battlefield guarded by the Golden Armor Guard.

Chaos erupted here, Core Disciple and Outer Saint were all in the same area, making it extremely dangerous.

Qin Ming suddenly accelerated. He truly refused to believe it. With the fusion of more than ten kinds of Heavenly Light Force enhanced within him, how could he possibly be unable to deal with an Outer Saint?

Last time in the desert, he paid a heavy price for killing one.

Now that he has combined two Extraordinary Art, causing the Heavenly Light Force to undergo an astonishing transformation and its power to increase dramatically, he should have a better grasp of the situation.

With a clang, he tried his best to move the Bronze Staff, but it was cleaved in two by the golden-armored youth opposite him with a massive blow.

Qin Ming's expression changed. This was a weapon he had carefully selected from the Armory of Red Haze City, forged from mixed gold, not genuine bronze, and yet it was cleaved in two in an instant?

Moreover, he saw the golden-armored youth sneer, and his Great Spear burst forth with a foot-long Heavenly Light.

Qin Ming was immediately horrified. This Great Spear was already two meters long, and the golden-armored youth's Heavenly Light could extend a foot beyond the spear, which was truly astonishing.

You should know that the Outer Saint he killed in the desert by any means was so powerful that the Heavenly Light from his weapon could not penetrate it at all; it was only half a foot away from his body.

Could the golden-armored youth's Heavenly Light really be more than two meters away from his body? That's truly terrifying.

At this moment, the golden-armored youth revealed a cruel sneer, slashing Great Spear, giving his opponent no chance to switch weapons.

The Heavenly Light surged, and he wanted to kill Qin Ming.

Despite the pressure from Li Qingxu and Zheng Maoze, Li Qingyue arrived at the vicinity to come to her rescue.

Qin Ming was indeed quite nervous. At this moment, he went all out, using his strongest power, and the unified Heavenly Light Force was elevated to an unprecedented level.

Li Qingyue sensed something in her eyes, and she suddenly stopped, looking surprised, without coming any closer.

Qin Ming deflected the Great Spear with his bare hands, and the weapon didn't break? His heart sank, but his combat awareness was extremely strong. Seeing the golden-armored youth's surprise and stiffen, he immediately followed, closing in on the Great Spear and unleashing the strongest Heavenly Light Force, fused with the Silk Book Method.

The golden-armored youth was terrified. What kind of monster was this? The Heavenly Light couldn't even be projected outwards, yet it could already fight him, an Outer Saint, bare-handed?

His Great Spear incorporated some Jade Iron, which was why it could receive his Heavenly Light, but just now the opponent had actually shattered the divine Heavenly Light on the Great Spear with a single hand.

He sensed a serious crisis as someone approached. He had no choice but to temporarily release his Great Spear, his hands flashing like tiger claws, unleashing Heavenly Light to clash head-on with his opponent.

"Ah----" In the next instant, he screamed in agony as the tiger claw force dissipated, his finger bones shattered, and flesh flew everywhere. At the same time, his chest was struck by his opponent.

In an instant, his protective golden armor glowed, its runes shimmering, saving him from a near-death experience.

Otherwise, he would have been beaten to a pulp by the opponent's bare hands.

Qin Ming was still a little nervous. The unified Heavenly Light Force was still erupting continuously. Unable to penetrate the opponent's golden armor with runes, he then blasted towards the broken palm.

This terrifying Heavenly Light Force could spread along flesh and blood. The golden-armored youth only had time to let out a shrill wail before his entire body exploded into a bloody mist inside the glowing armor.

This attack shattered the existing stalemate on the battlefield.

"This so-called 'Outer Saint' is all talk and no action; he just looks impressive. I don't seem to be weak at all," Qin Ming murmured as the tension subsided.
