Upgraded Qiong Xiao, One Move to Instantly Kill the Enemy

Practice...

Those two words exploded in Huo Teng's mind like two bolts of divine thunder from the Ninth Heaven.

So they really had been using them for practice.

That man who had stood in the same spot from beginning to end, without even lifting an eyelid, had never been putting on a bluff, much less going through a period of weakness.

He simply could not be bothered to make a move.

He, along with everyone aboard the immortal vessel, were nothing more than targets for a maidservant to practice on in that man's eyes.

That realization humiliated and devastated him even more than being cut down by a single sword.

At This Moment, Huo Teng's mental defenses completely collapsed.

Looking at the figure within the gray mist, like a god of formations who held dominion over life and death, it felt as though every bone in Huo Teng's Whole Body's had been pulled out.

"N-No... don't kill me!"

The instinct to survive overwhelmed everything else. Huo Teng's knees buckled, and he actually dropped to his knees with a Pfft toward Qiong Xiao, separated from her by the endless gray mist.

"Immortal maiden, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"

"I failed to recognize Mount Tai before my eyes! I was brazen beyond measure and offended the immortal maiden and Senior!"

"I am willing to offer up all my magic treasures! My storage ring contains the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect's sect-protecting treasure! And the Dragon King Token bestowed by the East Sea Dragon Palace! I'll offer them all to you! I only beg the immortal maiden to spare my life!"

Huo Teng's voice carried a sob as it echoed through the empty, deathly silent space within the formation, sounding especially wretched.

Yet the only response he received was Qiong Xiao's gaze, cold without the slightest trace of warmth.

Spare you?

If Master had not come, what would have become of her now?

Now he knew to beg for mercy? Too late!

Watching Huo Teng kneel and beg, making a complete spectacle of himself, Qiong Xiao felt not the slightest pity—only a hint of mockery.

She could not even be bothered to say another word.

There was no need to waste breath on a dying man.

What she Wanted to Make was use the most magnificent, most shocking, most irresistible strike to utterly wipe out these ants, proving her worth to Master!

Qiong Xiao gently raised her jade-like hand and formed an incomparably profound hand seal.

As the seal at her fingertips shifted, the entire Chaos Gray mist space began to churn violently.

The void, where above and below were indistinguishable and the four directions unclear, seemed to be torn apart by An Invisible large hand.

Rumble!

Endless seawater poured in from every direction, yet it was restrained by a strange force.

Huo Teng raised his head in horror.

He saw the gray mist beneath his feet dissipating, Replaced by fathomless azure seawater that formed an incomparably enormous vortex.

And above his head was no longer chaos, But Was From hundreds of millions of tons of seawater, forming a slowly rotating vault of heaven!

One After Another water tornadoes that reached from heaven to earth Rose Up from the ground, linking the seawater sky above to the seawater vortex below, unleashing deafening roars.

As far as the eye could see, for a thousand li in every direction, there stood only grim ramparts formed from water tornadoes.

A vast and boundless Water Element Great Formation, majestic beyond measure, took shape in an instant!

This was the formation's true appearance!

The perfect version of the Heavenly Dipper Formation!

That earlier expanse of gray mist had merely been an outward facade used to isolate the inside from the outside and confuse the enemy when the formation was activated.

But now that the great formation had been completed, this space was Qiong Xiao's absolute domain!

Gazing up at that World-Destroying sight, Huo Teng was completely dumbfounded.

His mind went utterly blank, as if even his thoughts had ceased.

What... kind of formation was this?

It used a thousand li of the East Sea as its foundation and drew upon the power of heaven and earth!

With such means, such might, let alone him, even the ancestor of their Fire Spirit Immortal Sect—that peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal expert—would never be able to set up such a formation!

Who Exactly Are You, this woman?

Why was her attainment in formations so terrifying?

Only endless regret and fear remained in Huo Teng's heart.

He finally understood what kind of unimaginable existence he had provoked.

Qiong Xiao floated quietly at the center of the great formation, her Palace Attire utterly unmoved amid the raging water-element power.

She was the sole ruler of this world of water.

Her gaze pierced through layer upon layer of watery curtains and fell upon Huo Teng's face, twisted by terror, one last time.

Her red lips parted slightly, uttering three icy syllables.

"Water Dragon Chant!"

The instant her soft shout fell, the entire great formation emitted a heaven-shaking roar!

Roar—!

Roar—!

Roar—!

More than a hundred water tornadoes that reached from heaven to earth seemed to be infused with souls at this moment!

They came alive!

At the top of each water tornado, seawater churned and swiftly condensed into ferocious, majestic dragon heads. Their massive bodies coiled and twisted, scales fully defined, lifelike in every detail!

Over a hundred enormous dragons formed from the purest water elemental power raised their heads and unleashed roars that shook the soul. Their dragon might surged magnificently, overturning the entire sea region!

That pure aura of destruction, capable of crushing everything, made Huo Teng's soul nearly flee his body.

"No!!"

He let out a despairing howl, frantically driving the mana inside his body and pushing the flaming treasure pagoda to its utmost limit. A scarlet flaming barrier wrapped around him layer upon layer.

At the same time, he slapped all manner of defensive treasures and talismans onto himself as though they cost nothing.

He wanted to flee, but within this great formation, heaven and earth were all water. Where could he possibly run?

Qiong Xiao watched his futile struggle, her gaze without a single ripple.

Her jade finger lightly pointed forward.

"Kill."

One word was the final judgment of this world.

Roar!

Over a hundred water dragons moved!

Bearing power that could crush the void, they surged in from all directions, winding toward the lone immortal vessel at the center of the formation, as well as the two Golden Immortal guards before it who had long since been imprisoned!

The first targets of the fastest water dragons were those two Golden Immortal "statues."

Though the two Golden Immortal guards had their consciousness imprisoned, their instincts remained.

As they watched those ferocious dragon heads rapidly swell in their vision, the fear-filled eyes of the two guards burst forth with one final, silent despair.

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Boom!

A water dragon pierced straight through them.

The two once-unrivaled Golden Immortal experts, along with their indestructible Golden Immortal bodies, were like castles piled from sand—instantly washed away completely. Not even a trace of blood mist remained before both body and soul were utterly annihilated.

Immediately afterward, even more water dragons pounced upon the magnificent immortal vessel.

The vessel's defensive formation was as thin as a sheet of window paper before those violent water dragons, shattering at the first touch.

Crack! Crack!

The sturdy hull forged from fire copper jade was effortlessly twisted apart by the dragons' bodies, while countless embedded gemstones and pearls were ground into powder beneath the terrifying pressure.

With a single charge, this immortal vessel that symbolized wealth and status was torn into countless fragments and sank to the seabed.

At last, the targets of all the hundred-plus water dragons locked onto the final person—Huo Teng.

"No! Get away!"

Huo Teng's eyes split with fury. Within this pure Water Element Great Formation, the power of the flaming treasure pagoda he had been so proud of was suppressed by ninety-nine percent. Its scarlet flaming barrier appeared so dim and feeble before the water dragons that blotted out the sky.

He did not even have the chance to bring out any other offensive treasure.

In his terrified eyes, there remained only one ferocious dragon head after another, drawing ever closer and blotting out every ray of light.

Boom—!

In merely a single breath's time.

More than a hundred water dragons pierced through the spot where he stood, then transformed once more into sky-reaching water tornadoes.

The light of the flaming treasure pagoda was completely extinguished.

Huo Teng, the young master of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and an Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal expert, could not even let out a complete scream before that violent force tore him into the Most Primitive Particles.

Body and soul annihilated, soul scattered and spirit dispersed.

From the moment Qiong Xiao set up the formation to the complete extermination of her enemies, the entire process took only a few short breaths.

When the last enemy was crushed to death, Qiong Xiao waved her delicate hand.

In an instant, the wind stilled and the waves calmed.

The hundred-plus water tornadoes that had churned heaven and earth, the seawater firmament that had turned the cosmos upside down, silently faded away like phantoms.

The sea returned to tranquility, vast and azure, As If Just Now that World-Destroying scene had never occurred.

Only the wreckage of immortal boats floating on the sea silently testified to the brutality of what had just occurred.

Qiong Xiao slowly turned around and walked back to Lin Feng's side.

That icy aura of one who held life and death in her hands had long since disappeared.

She lowered her head slightly. A captivating blush spread across her exquisitely beautiful face, and her hands nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. Like a child who had scored a perfect hundred and was waiting for praise from her parents, her eyes held a trace of expectation and a trace of unease.

Seeing her like this, Lin Feng revealed a satisfied smile.

He raised his hand and, just as before, gently ruffled Qiong Xiao's silky hair.

"Not bad."
