Decisive battle

The boy had a pair of large, fan-like hands, feet over a foot long, legs as thick as pillars, a waist as circumference as a bear, a neck like a wooden stake, a head as big as a basin, black hair as stiff as steel needles, thick eyebrows, large eyes, a wide mouth, and a square nose.

Qin Ming, wielding Great Spear, had just sent one person flying when he saw a strikingly handsome young man emerge from the White Bamboo Forest.

"Okay, come help!" Actually, Qin Ming didn't know if the boy was asking him a question, but it wouldn't cost him anything to reply anyway, and he was already bloodthirsty.

The Golden Armor Guard around him immediately became highly vigilant, and even those nearby launched attacks on him first.

The burly young man was no slouch; with a wave of his palm-leaf fan, one of the Outer Saint charging at him was blasted away, crashing into a large blue stone and shattering.

"Everyone, don't be so agitated. We all rely on physical mutations to increase our strength, we're all on the same path, why start fighting right away?" the young man advised.

Then, with a slap of his large, fan-like hand, he sent another Outer Saint who was wielding a sword at him flying.

"Puff!"

The Outer Saint, who had fallen into the White Bamboo Forest, coughed up blood and turned deathly pale. If it weren't for his protective golden armor, he would have been blown to pieces.

"Are you all crazy? I told you not to be so impulsive, why are you still rushing towards me?!" The burly youth was furious.

With a snap, his right foot swept out with lightning speed, breaking a spear that was thrust at him, and sending the spearman flying twenty meters away.

A large patch of snow-white bamboo was smashed to pieces. The expert wielding the broken spear coughed up blood, staining many of the pure white bamboo leaves red. His chest glowed, with mysterious patterns flowing through it.

Clearly, the protective armor worked; otherwise, he would have been gone, surely torn apart by an exceptionally powerful burst of Heavenly Light Force.

"The battle Beyond-Mundane Core Disciples has nothing to do with you. Can't we be a little more amicable?" the young man said again, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Then, with lightning speed, he leaned back, slamming the attacker so hard that the face was contorted, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he fell into the White Bamboo Forest, unable to get up.

Everyone's Divine Capital towards him changed. They shouted that he shouldn't be irritable and should be more peaceful, but he struck with considerable force. Without special protective armor, anyone hit by him would be blown to pieces.

"Brother, thank you for your help." Qin Ming spoke up, secretly asking his name.

"Xiang Yiwu," the burly young man replied.

Qin Ming had a deep impression of this person because of his very unusual appearance.

Xiang Yiwu was large from head to toe, as wide as two people combined. He wasn't fat, but rather excessively robust.

The two had spoken in Luofu Immortal Town, where Qin Ming asked him who was the Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple of Buddha, who was the successor of the Jade Clarity Force, and whether the disciples of the Five Elements Palace were present.

Xiang Yiwu shook his head at the time, indicating that he did not know.

Qin Ming now strongly suspects that this person is either Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple or a successor of the Jade Clarity Force!

"Brother, I'm actually not a pushover; everything depends on fate," Xiang Yiwu said, rubbing his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.

The two of them now stood together, temporarily intimidating a group of Golden Armor Guard. Although they surrounded them at the edge of the bamboo forest, they did not launch an attack.

The group even retreated to a distance, not daring to get too close.

Qin Ming naturally understood that no one would help someone for no reason after only meeting them once.

He said, "Just tell me what you need."

Xiang Yiwu nodded and said, "Brother, you're very straightforward, so I'll be direct too. I saw you and Cui Chongxuan fight from afar, and I greatly admire and yearn for your special fighting techniques."

Qin Ming's pupils contracted slightly; this burly young man's appetite was far too great.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean to kick someone when they're down or take advantage of their misfortune." Xiang Yiwu waved his hand and said, "I can exchange it with you for Cultivation Method of the same level. To be honest, I really need the Li Fire Scripture)."

Qin Ming was surprised. The burly young man was quite knowledgeable. Even though he had already integrated the Li Fire Force, this person could still recognize him.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Xiang Yiwu immediately became extremely excited and said, "You really have the Li Fire Scripture? Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses."

Qin Ming asked, "You should have mastered the Tathagata Force or the Jade Clarity Force, right? If you have such legendary Cultivation Method, why would you need the Li Fire Scripture?"

Xiang Yiwu stated, "I practice the Golden Silkworm Skill, and currently I need the assistance of a special fire-based Extraordinary Art. With the help of my seniors, I can deduce that at this stage, Li Fire Refines Golden Silkworm with fire is the best approach. It allows the cicada to break free from its shell, be New Life, and soar into the sky, which also has the auspicious effect of Nirvana from the ashes."

Qin Ming's gaze towards him changed. This person's cultivation Cultivation Method was definitely not simple, and the other party had also said that he only needed the Li Fire Scripture for now, and would definitely need to integrate other Extraordinary Art in the future.

"Acquaintances call me Golden Silkworm Child," Xiang Yiwu said with a smile.

"Which Core Disciple are you helping?" Qin Ming asked him.

"He was an Elite Disciple, but he deceived me and gave me a very ordinary Fire Path scripture." Xiang Yiwu said indignantly.

"Then ignore him and how about cooperating with me?"

Qin Ming is very worried about Li Qingyue, who is being besieged by the Five Core Disciples.

Moreover, judging from the way this group of people intercepted him, they clearly intended to kill him and Li Qingyue completely.

Xiang Yiwu nodded and said, "I have already sent that Elite Disciple away."

Qin Ming was taken aback and asked, "You killed him?"

Xiang Yiwu and said, "I just knocked him out."

Qin Ming realized that this person probably had a significant background and practiced special Cultivation Method, so he should be quite strong in the Second Major Realm.

"If you help me save someone, I'll give you the Li Fire Scripture!"

"You want me to provoke five Core Disciple? That's too dangerous." Xiang Yiwu refused.

"Just tear an opening and help her break through!" Qin Ming told him, adding that he possessed more than one Extraordinary Art.

Xiang Yiwu said, "I only need the Li Fire Scripture). Let me take a look. I'll make a move if I have the chance, but don't blame me if I don't."

He quickly walked away and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Qin Ming suspected that the Golden Silkworm Skill this person practiced might be a part of the Tathagata Force or the Jade Clarity Force, and that he was now expanding upon the scriptures.

The Jade Clarity Force, the Sky Supporting Force, Tathagata Force have never ceased to evolve; they have reportedly been continuously improved and enhanced. Therefore, the contents of the True Teaching on a Sheet of Paper are not static.

"If Xiang Yiwu is truly a successor of this ancient tradition, he shouldn't be afraid of Beyond-Mundane Disciples in the first two Major Realm."

Qin Ming's own situation was somewhat precarious; the group of Golden Armor Guard were closing in from a distance and beginning to tighten their encirclement.

"Why bother, everyone? Let's sit down and have a chat..."

Soon, Qin Ming fell silent, because he lacked intimidation. Those who were surrounding him saw that he couldn't project his Heavenly Light outwards and wanted to capture him.

Most importantly, there are organizers and a few suicide squads among them. He must kill this small group before the crisis can be resolved.

"Since some people want to die, then I'll grant their wish!" Qin Ming was also enraged.

The battle has broken out again!

At this moment, there is much discussion outside that Li Qingyue may obtain Near Immortal Object.

Night Report were commenting on it, praising it, and even promoting it.

Meng Xinghai's heart sank. He knew the intricacies of the situation; the more hyped it was, the more likely things were to go wrong, Li Qingyue might be "taken care of."

"Someone wants to get rid of Qing Yue and make a profit from the betting?"

Earlier, Meng Xinghai was still basking in the glow of Qin Ming's achievements, as if drinking fine wine, but now he felt that the two of them might be in danger.

Qin Ming was injured. As expected, there were experts among the Golden Armor Guard of the Five Core Disciples. The Heavenly Light Release them was astonishing, like flames burning or the sun shining brightly.

His Qi and Blood surged from the shock, blood gushing from his mouth, as his opponent suppressed him with a higher level of cultivation.

"Tan Yu!" Qin Ming recognized the man.

Back in Luofu Immortal Town, people were already talking about this person. He came from Moonfall City and was rumored to have fused more than ten kinds of Heavenly Light Force during his New Life stage.

"Those so-called 'Outer Saint' that people talk about are indeed very dangerous!" Qin Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Right now, it's not just Tan Yu making a move; others are also attacking, and Qin Ming's Great Spear has been shaken to the ground.

Tan Yu felt this was absurd. He was stronger than an ordinary Outer Saint and wanted to crush a New Life Evolver with his higher realm, but his palm was pierced and bled.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, neither picking up the Great Spear from the ground nor drawing his sword. The various Heavenly Light Force techniques he had learned surfaced in his Heart Sea.

He was proficient in swords, spears, arrows, hammers, and lances, but he was even more skilled in the Heavenly Light Force Technique, and his fighting skills were no less than those of the person who left behind the secret manual.

Qin Ming propelled the Wind Force, his feet seemingly not touching the ground, sweeping across the grass blades and striking Tan Yu horizontally.

In the instant he was close, he went from being as light and agile as the wind to striking like a thunderclap, slamming his Hammer Force into his opponent, causing the bamboo forest to resound with a terrifying thunderous roar.

Tan Yu sneered. He intended to suppress the opponent with his superior skill level; this was exactly what it meant to overcome all techniques with sheer force.

In addition, another expert, no less skilled than him, followed suit, and others also made their move at the same time, trying to eliminate this strange New Life Evolver as quickly as possible.

Qin Ming instantly changed his trajectory, grazing Tan Yu's fist, which resembled a small Solar Yang. He used his palm to apply Entangling Silk Force, touching Tan Yu's arm and suddenly pulling him, causing his opponent to stagger.

Of course, Qin Ming himself was also suffering, because the opponent's protective Heavenly Light was too intense, and he was constantly being impacted when he broke through.

With a bang, as Tan Yu staggered, Qin Ming delivered a high sweeping kick, using Whip Force to strike the opponent's head.

Tan Yu dodged the head to the side, but felt as if he had been struck on the shoulder by an iron whip, making him even more unsteady on his feet.

When the others attacked, strands of golden threads appeared on Qin Ming's body, which was the Golden Silkworm Force in motion. He forcefully withstood the punches and kicks of the four men and continued to fight Tan Yu to the death.

Of course, he avoided the terrifying palm strike from the person whose strength was similar to Tan Yu's; this person possessed overwhelming Heavenly Light energy and was a dangerous individual.

Qin Ming's Entangling Silk Force and Adhesion Force never left Tan Yu, making him very uncomfortable, as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to exert his immense strength to its full effect.

A moment later, Tan Yu groaned as a large piece of flesh on his palm was torn off by the Adhesion Force.

Moreover, his face shield was inexplicably ripped off, and with a loud bang, he was punched in the face. Heavenly Light streamed in, leaving half of his face a bloody mess.

Qin Ming himself was also pale, with blood dripping from his hands. He was being attacked by a group of people, who were only targeting Tan Yu. It was impossible for him to escape without paying a price.

His golden armor was partially broken because the protective runes had been activated once; this was definitely a life-or-death battle.

Half an hour later, Qin Ming drew his sword, the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber piercing Tan Yu's armor, because his protective runes had also been activated and had dimmed.

"You..." Tan Yu was horrified, but he was too weak to struggle. His heart was pierced, and he died quickly.

Qin Ming swayed as he turned around. After such a long period of collision, many of the opponents' armors had activated those runes, and they had all been extinguished.

With a roar, he charged forward.

In the end, the expert whose strength was similar to Tan Yu's was beheaded by him. With the two strongest people killed one after another, the place lost its true organizer and suicide squad. The others turned around and fled, no longer fighting to the death for him.

Qin Ming, his eyes bloodshot with rage, dragged his exhausted and wounded body and began his pursuit. Every strike drew blood, and he killed those who had attacked him earlier. Only when the place fell completely silent, with those who were dead or had fled, did Qin Ming gasp for breath before collapsing to the ground.

His armor was shattered, and he was covered in blood. If someone were to deliver a fatal blow, he would surely die.

The golden armor worn by the dead had also had its runes activated.

"Is the battle in the distance still going?" Qin Ming gazed into the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Brother, run!" A short while later, Xiang Yiwu came running up, shouting, "They've gone berserk! Core Disciple are nearly dead!"

"Where is Li Qingyue?" Qin Ming asked.

Xiang Yiwu quickly replied, "She was seriously injured and nearly sent two Core Disciple away using Secret Method, which made those people very wary."

"I asked you where she is, how she is, and whether you intervened?" Qin Ming asked urgently.

"I didn't even have time to get involved. Those people had already gone berserk, all using Beyond-Mundane Forbidden Arts. The six clusters of colorful light merged together, a mutual destruction between Consciousness Spirit Light. If my physical body had rushed in, I would have been annihilated by the spiritual light of all six of them," Xiang Yiwu said with shame.

He quickly added, "Don't worry, Li Qingyue escaped and actually managed to break through the encirclement. The remaining people were very wary of her, and since they believed she was too badly injured to compete for the Near Immortal Object, they didn't give chase."

Qin Ming immediately got up and chased after him in the direction he had indicated.

He also guessed that Li Qingyue might flee to that place teeming with life, where she had mentioned that her Ancestor had made some arrangements a thousand years ago when she passed by earlier.

Sure enough, Qin Ming found traces of blood left by Li Qingyue in a place teeming with life, and he softly called her name there.

"I'm here." Li Qingyue was very weak, but her powerful divine sense allowed her to spot Qin Ming, who had been searching for her all along.

"Qing Yue, what's wrong?" Qin Ming rushed over and supported her arm.

"This is terrible. If another Core Disciple appears, we'll all die," Li Qingyue said, sounding very weak as she leaned against a large tree.

Her silver armor was already shattered, and her body was covered in blood.

"Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple, stay away from here and come back in half a day." Li Qingyue looked at Xiang Yiwu in the distance.

"Don't misunderstand, I'll leave immediately. I'll come back to find Brother Li in half a day to exchange for the Extraordinary Art." Xiang Yiwu decisively left.

Li Qingyue's face was pale, giving her a sickly, delicate beauty. She secretly transmitted her voice. "Search carefully in this area. There might be a special ' Mountains and Rivers Spirit Nest,' which my Ancestor discovered and set up. If it's still there, it can help us heal our injuries and even advance us further."
