Keqing Slays an Enemy
The Great Ming Kingdom versus Taiheng Sect!
Just this title, those eight characters alone, is worth eight billion viewers!
Keqing leisurely stood up, looking quite relaxed. "It's my turn already?"
"Don't be careless!" Ganyu reminded him from the side, "The elder of the Taiheng Sect's Prison Department is also surnamed Liu. They should be family. This Liu Heng is from a prestigious family, and he might have some trump card!"
"So what!" Keqing waved her hand. "Who isn't from a prestigious family?"
My Keqing Lineage also dates back to the Archon War era!
Moreover, in terms of lineage, they are no less accomplished than these scions of the Aristocratic Clan.
Or rather, they can learn far more Divine Ability than the scions of the Aristocratic Clan!
Not to mention the difference in talent.
Liu Heng is able to sit here not because he is particularly talented, but because his surname is Liu, he has a good ancestor, and he is born with endless resources!
Keqing is able to sit here not because her Lineage is so powerful, but because she was able to stand out from millions of citizens, first becoming one of the Liyue Qixing, and then having the opportunity to step into Taiheng!
The two formations were right next to each other, and when Keqing stood up, she naturally saw Liu Heng standing up next to her.
"Hmph!" Liu Heng had a square face and a sunny disposition, but he was wearing a black prison uniform, which was proof that the Liu family had served Taiheng in the Prison Department for generations.
He was smiling at Keqing, but a disdainful smirk crept onto his lips.
"He can even capture the camera!" Keqing was somewhat surprised. Those cultivators from minor sects had no such awareness and insisted on showing their lack of decency in front of millions of viewers in the live stream.
This Taiheng Sect member is different; he's clearly full of violence, but he pretends to be a sunny and cheerful young man.
However, this is the Li Han Grand Assembly, and whether one can truly gain popularity depends on their strength!
On the stage, the two stood more than twenty meters apart, then simultaneously cupped their hands in greeting.
"Great Ming Kingdom, Keqing!"
"Taiheng Sect, Liu Heng!" Liu Heng laughed, "I don't know the situation in your Great Ming Kingdom, but you should still be a member of the Taiheng Sect, right? Attending the Li Han Grand Assembly without the sect's permission, shouldn't you be sent to the Prison Department for such behavior?"
Elders at the Spiritual Law Realm wouldn't dare say such things, but it wouldn't be a problem for Liu Heng, Qi Refining First Level, to say them, because Hengming would never bully the weak.
If Keqing were tongue-tied, she would have fallen into her trap by now.
Unfortunately Keqing is a politician who manages an entire department and countless people; how could she not speak out?
Not to mention.
"I'd like to know which rule or law of the Taiheng Sect we violated?" Keqing countered.
"Laws?" Liu Heng was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. "You're actually talking to me about laws? Don't you know that in the Taiheng Sect, the words spoken by our Prison Department are the law of the Taiheng Sect?"
"Oh?" Keqing chuckled. "So, in the Taiheng Sect, the Prison Department can actually Perfect World. Luckily, I'm from the Great Ming Kingdom. Otherwise, if you ever take a dislike to me, wouldn't you just find some excuse to arrest me?"
"That bastard!" Green Beard in anger. He knew the Liu family was powerful, and that was fine, but this was something he should keep to himself.
So, all you learned about being cautious online was the surface-level knowledge?
Liu Heng was unaware that he had said the wrong thing, because his background and upbringing were completely different from those of ordinary Taiheng disciples.
Hearing Keqing's words, he smugly replied, "That's right, so if you know what's good for you, you should admit defeat as soon as possible. Since you're not bad looking, I can give you the status of a concubine. After all, your status is too low; you can forget about becoming a wife!"
"That bastard!" Keqing could even speak, Zhang Chulan had already punched the floor.
Originally, there was no Genshin Impact in the Under One Person world, but after Yang Ning created a virtual world that could connect with other worlds, Genshin Impact naturally became popular in other worlds as well.
Keqing's charm is something anyone who has played the game knows!
Liu Heng thought he was only provoking the cat-headed girl in front of him, little did he know that millions of netizens in the live stream wanted to kill him!
Keqing smiled dismissively. Women are always at a disadvantage arguing with men about these things, but she was Keqing after all. "Concubine? Status? So that's what you all think about. No wonder you're over thirty and only at the Qi Refining First Level. And I see your soul is a bit unstable. Did you cultivate the Yang God Method? So if you didn't have the Yang God Method, you'd still be stuck in the Body Refinement Realm?"
Liu Heng's face darkened. "What did you say?"
After Qi Induction, the Law Power will begin to refine and strengthen the human body. From then on, the aging rate of a person will be greatly reduced. When one reaches the Qi Refining Fifth Level Supernatural Power Realm, one's appearance can be completely frozen.
Therefore, one can roughly determine the age at which a person has Qi Induction simply by looking at their appearance!
Liu Heng has an older-looking appearance, and the condition of his skin cells is something that cannot be concealed by Law Power.
He really did succeed in Qi Induction at the age of thirty-four!
"Do you know what!" Keqing continued, "I'm only 16 years old this year, and I'm already competing against you. If I had the same amount of time as you, you wouldn't even be able to see my heels!"
"I don't know where you get the right to be so arrogant and disdainful of everyone. Is it the Liu family behind you? Don't you think your existence is a disgrace to the Liu family?"
"Bastard!" Liu Heng couldn't hold back any longer and stomped his foot on the ground in anger. "Die!"
It hasn't even been five minutes yet; by all accounts, he's already broken the rules.
However, the disciples of the Li Han Palace who were in charge of the competition pretended not to see it, after all, they couldn't afford to offend the Great Ming Kingdom, and they couldn't afford to offend the Taiheng Sect either.
Moreover, Liu Heng is from the Aristocratic Clan, and at thirty years old, he is in the prime of his youth in the Cultivation World. What problem could there be with Qi Induction at this time?
On the contrary, this disciple found the cat-haired girl extremely displeasing.
After all, she was not only less cute than Keqing, but she also couldn't have Qi Induction Refining Qi Refining Stage at the age of 16.
Keqing's words hurt far more than just Liu Heng!
She even encouraged Liu Heng, saying, "Young Master Liu, hurry up! It would be best to kill her!"
"The Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps?" Keqing perked up.
Don't assume Liu Heng is weak just because he's older and less talented.
Peerless Divine Abilities and Heaven-grade Divine Ability are completely different concepts. Even if Liu Heng doesn't know any other Divine Ability, but has only mastered the <Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps>, he can still eliminate 99% of opponents of the same level.
Heaven-grade Divine Ability are not incapable of countering Peerless Divine Abilities, but it is very difficult. Generally, it is high-level cultivators who bully low-level ones by relying on their cultivation level.
Even so, there are occasional instances where the opponent manages to turn the tables and defeat the attacker!
Fortunately Keqing also learned the Peerless Divine Abilities, Control Nine Thunders!
They possess the same Divine Ability as Zhang Chulan, but they use it differently.
Zhang Chulan is utterly shameless and lewd, while Keqing, dressed in Hanfu and wielding a flowing sword, is like a fairy in the clouds. Not only is her appearance stunning, but her figure and demeanor are also like a butterfly flitting among flowers. How can mere words describe her beauty!
"What beautiful Divine Ability, what a beautiful person!" someone exclaimed.
Those who don't understand are looking at people; those who do understand are looking at Divine Ability.
"The same Divine Ability as Zhang Chulan, and it seems that the Taiheng Sect has never had such Lightning Dao Divine Ability." Zhan Tai Mingyue glanced at Hengming beside her and dismissed her doubts.
The Hengming Tower has lived for 300,000 years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless sects, so it is not surprising that it possesses any inheritance.
It's just unclear why these traditions were passed down to the Great Ming Kingdom, but not to the Taiheng Sect.
Could it be...?
Zhan Tai Mingyue thought of a possibility, her heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably became nervous.
No, we must gather all the elders after the Li Han Grand Assembly to discuss this together!
"What kind of Divine Ability is this?" Countless people below the tower were filled with thoughts, while Liu Heng on the platform was becoming increasingly anxious as the fight progressed.
He wanted to prove he wasn't a useless person, so he had to quickly take down Keqing.
His Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps is only at the beginner level, but it can still reach twice the speed of sound. In addition, when the Divine Ability power is running, the Fortune Destruction Power permeates around him, making it impossible for opponents to catch, hit, or escape. His own luck will also be constantly eroded.
Once the battle begins, they will be slowly worn down, like frogs in warm water!
However, the girl was just as fast as him, and she wielded a sword wildly in the air. Not only did he fail to hit her once, but he was also slashed by the sword several times.
If I hadn't been wearing a Magic Robe of the Spirit Artifact level, I would have been injured by now!
What's even more unsettling is that this girl is constantly surrounded by lightning, like a hedgehog; touching her will get you electrocuted!
"You forced me to do this!" Liu Heng stopped angrily, then reached out and touched his storage ring.
This is the downside of staying in the Body Refinement Realm for too long and then competing right after advancing. He hasn't adapted to his Divine Sense, and his operating habits are still the same as when he was in the Body Refinement Realm.
Moreover, he forgot that while he was using the Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps to chase Keqing was also using the Heavenly Street Tour to chase him!
In battles between speedsters, it's always been a matter of whoever is slower dies!
His fingers had barely touched the ring when a hairpin appeared before his eyes?
The hairpin was crackling with lightning, which pierced his brow and made him feel numb. Liu Heng's heart trembled, and several layers of light suddenly shone on him, then quickly exploded into countless points of light.
One-time defensive talisman!
"Thank goodness!" Liu Heng was startled; he had almost died!
The next instant, a face that was both aloof and charming appeared before him.
Along with it came a chilling sword light, crackling with lightning!
"Crackling!" Dozens of light screens shattered in succession!
Liu Heng was so frightened his liver trembled.
How is that possible!
Although he was restricted by the rules of the Li Han Grand Assembly and could not bring high-level defensive talismans, he could still bring talismans that could withstand attacks from the Qi Refining Third Layer!
He brought fifty cards, intending to use them in the finals!
Don't think that just because he was born into the Liu family, he's rich. This kind of trash, who lives off the Lineage's resources but only Qi Induction at the age of 33, isn't valued much within the Lineage.
Those who are truly valued don't need to participate in the Li Han Grand Assembly to make a name for themselves.
However, 44 of the fifty talismans shattered in just those two moves!
"What the hell is this lightning? You learned the Thunder Command Spirit Seal? You traitor of the Tianyi Sect!" Liu Heng roared, the thing he was trying to take finally escaped!
A pink lotus pedestal with three tiers and thirty-six petals!
A superior Spirit Artifact, the Red Poem Lotus Platform!
This lotus platform isn't the same model as the one Yang Ning used before!
He was besieged by the three Qiu brothers at the time, but he faked his death to escape, leaving the lotus platform behind.
The lotus platform withstood the attacks of the three men, dropping from top-grade to high-grade. The three Qiu brothers were then reduced to ashes by the Prison Department's men, and the lotus platform fell into the Prison Department's hands.
Just then, Liu Heng was coming to attend the Li Han Grand Assembly, so the lotus platform ended up in his hands. However, it wasn't completely his; it was only temporarily borrowed.
Whether he can truly belong to someone else depends on his performance in the Li Han Grand Assembly.
With a superior-grade Spirit Artifact in hand, Liu Heng felt much more at ease, though his face was flushed red with extreme anger!
This is a trump card, a real trump card, something I've been saving for the disciples of the Tianyi Sect!
I never expected it to be used here, against an unknown little girl!
All we can do now is win, and we must win—a crushing victory!
"You deserve to die, you really deserve to die!" Liu Heng activated the lotus platform, splitting it in two. One part protected himself, while the other part smashed towards Keqing!
Despite facing a top-grade Spirit Artifact, Keqing showed no sign of panic.
It's just a mere Spirit Artifact; do you think I don't have one?
Keqing extended her jade finger and flicked it across the sword, covering it with a layer of purple lightning. Then, with a swift swing, she cleaved the charging lotus platform in two.
"A top-grade Spirit Artifact?" Liu Heng's eyes widened in fury, and then he angrily turned to look at Hengming on the arena.
Lord Hengming, you're being unfair!
You think you can give a top-grade Spirit Artifact to a mere Qi Refining First Level girl with no name or surname?
We, Taiheng, are your loyal followers, so why don't we receive this kind of treatment?
Little did he know that the longsword in Keqing's hand was not a gift from Hengming, and that it was only displaying less than 2% of its full potential!
No matter how skilled Spirit Artifact Forging Master, the accuracy and precision of the runes they inscribe can never compare to that of a rune lithography machine.
They're not even worthy of carrying the shoes of a lithography machine!
Low-grade Spirit Artifact generally contain fewer than ten runes, mid-grade Spirit Artifact contain between ten and thirty, and commercial Spiritual Qi artifacts contain between thirty and one hundred spiritual runes.
Spirit Artifact with more than one hundred runes are considered top-grade Spirit Artifact.
How many runes are on Keqing's sword?
6.8 billion!
Admittedly, the rune circuits etched by photolithography machines are narrow and have a limited amount of Spiritual Qi that can pass through. However, due to their high purity and superior superposition algorithms, the improvement they provide is beyond the imagination of ordinary Artifact Forging Master.
Moreover, the materials used by Keqing's sword are also extraordinary.
The Cherry Red Iron used in the Body Refinement Realm shows that the Cultivation World basically has no research on alloys. They mainly use the properties of metals and even ores themselves, at most adding a little bit of other precious metals, which is already top-notch craftsmanship.
Keqing's hand was made of a pure Spirit Materials alloy.
It has high strength, high toughness, is resistant to acid, toxicity, heat and cold, is a superconductor, and has good Law Power.
Not only does it surpass the Red Poem Lotus Platform in terms of material quality, but in terms of runes, it boasts 1.5 billion Sharpness, 1.5 billion Armor Penetration, and 1.5 billion Magic Penetration out of its 6.8 billion runes.
How could the lotus platform possibly withstand the clash of these two Spirit Artifacts!
This is like comparing a modern mobile phone to an ancient computer. No matter how big the ancient computer was or how much space it took up, its computing power was simply crushed by a mobile phone.
Even so, according to the classification of Spirit Artifact in the Cultivation World, this sword is truly a top-grade Spirit Artifact.
After all, 1.8 billion runes is over a hundred!
The moment the lotus platform was cleaved, Green Beard sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up, saying, "Palace Master Zhantai, we concede defeat."
But Zhan Tai Mingyue seemed to be talking to Hengming, and didn't hear him at all?
How could a powerful being at the Spiritual Law Realm not hear someone speaking, especially when it's another Spiritual Law Realm shouting loudly?
But Zhan Tai Mingyue pretended not to hear.
It wasn't until Keqing struck again, cleaving Liu Heng's head, shoulder, half his body, and six layers of defensive talismans in two, that she turned her head in astonishment. "Green Beard, what did you say?"
"Hmph!" The man with the Green Beard gritted his teeth. He couldn't afford to offend Zhan Tai Mingyue, so he could only turn to look at Wan Yunluo.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, aren't you going to explain yourself?"
"Explain what?" Wan Yunluo looked bewildered. What did this have to do with me?
"The Divine Ability she used, wasn't it the Thunder Command Spirit Seal of your Tianyi Sect?" the Green Beard asked angrily.
Wan Yunluo was taken aback, then asked in return, "Then, Senior Green Beard, where are the spirit and the seal?"
Others might make mistakes, but they won't. Zhang Chulan, the Thunder Method Keqing uses looks similar to their Tianyi Sect's Thunder Method, but they are completely different things!
"Fine, fine, very fine!" Green Beard clenched his fists angrily, then plopped down and pulled out his phone to start typing!
The other sects watched the verbal sparring between Green Beard, Zhan Tai Mingyue, and Wan Yunluo, while also glancing at the corpse charred by lightning on the arena, and the pretty girl who jumped off the arena.
For some reason, I had a feeling that the wheels of history had suddenly started to turn.
Many people died at the Li Han Grand Assembly, and Zhang Chulan also killed Yan Hun, but no one cared. Since they participated in this tournament, they had to be prepared to die.
However, this rule has never applied to disciples of major sects, because they are backed by enormous figures, and even if you have the ability to kill them, you wouldn't dare to actually make a move.
A moment of pleasure could lead to the destruction of one's entire sect.
This has actually happened before.
But just now, a disciple of a major sect has actually died!
What does that mean?
What does this mean?
Is it a personal grudge, or is someone behind it instigating it?
Is war about to break out?
Will this clash between such powerful sects affect us?
Countless people trembled with fear, and at this moment, the leaders of various sects took out their mobile phones, and streams of information permeated the Spiritual Qi layer of Taiheng.
