Chapter 522: Must Silence
Thinking about this, Ghost Shadow was determined that there was only one solution to today’s matter, and that was to kill off Ling Chuxi. No matter what kind of relationship Ling Chuxi had with Flowing Clouds Sect, or what kind of identity she possessed within the Flowing Clouds Sect, once today’s matter was made known to Flowing Clouds Sect, Cold Moon Palace would be in endless trouble. No, it would not just be trouble, it would practically be a disaster. Therefore, there was now a greater need to kill Ling Chuxi to keep her mouth shut! It was truly a pity, such a talent…
Just as Ghost Shadow was lamenting the situation and waiting to deal a fatal blow, Ling Chuxi took action first. She was very clear that if she did not reveal the Flowing Clouds Sect token, then perhaps today’s matter still had room for negotiation, but once the Flowing Clouds Sect was drawn in, the other party would definitely not hesitate to silence them.
Therefore, she did not plan to rely on a single token to scare Ghost Shadow into retreat, she had merely wanted to disrupt his mind. Indeed, upon seeing the Flowing Clouds Sect token, Ghost Shadow’s heart was in chaos and his murderous intent had also weakened. This was precisely the opportunity Ling Chuxi was waiting for.
Turning Cloud Gesture, Spiral Battle Qi, application and acupuncture methods of all three streams of the Golden Pill Sect shot out in a series of attacks all at once, wave after wave of sword qi howled and rushed towards Ghost Shadow with an unstoppable force.
Thundercloud Battle Qi… Containing the might of shocking thunder and the qi of wind rushing to the clouds, one could only imagine how wild and powerful it was.
As this wild Battle Qi between the heaven and the earth was emitted, it was mixed with waves of extreme cold that was almost imperceptible, resembling extremely thin and sharp needles. This strange cold was hard to guard against. This was exactly the effect of the Seven Strings Finger Method and Seven Strings Needle Method when all three streams of knowledge of the Golden Pill Sect were combined.
Medical skills that can be used to treat people, can also be used to kill people. Otherwise, how could the Golden Pill Sect be listed as one of the five great sects thousands of years ago?
Ghost Shadow’s heart suddenly sank. It turns out that Ling Chuxi had not used her strongest abilities just now and was only using her true abilities now.
If it were only the Turning Cloud Gesture, Spiral Battle Qi and Thundercloud Battle Qi to deal with, how could he possibly take it as a threat seriously? However, the needle-shaped Battle Qi hidden within the rest of the Qi attacks like deadly drizzles on a spring day made him feel extremely uneasy.
With a roar, Ghost Shadow used all his might and thrust his palm out using the vigorous Qi of True Essence to form an almost visible barrier before him.
Then a series of fine sounds rang out, denser than raindrops and akin to the sound of steel needles piercing through soft cotton. Ghost Shadow’s barrier generated by his Qi of True Essence had been pierced through by Ling Chuxi’s needle-shaped Battle Qi.
Ghost Shadow shuddered and little red dots resembling mosquito bites appeared on the parts of his skin which were exposed.
The other black-robed men were all shocked silly. Although they could tell that Ghost Shadow had not received any actual injuries, how could a defense made up of the Qi of True Essence be so easily pierced through by Battle Qi in the realm of Great Fulfilment? As there were innate power differences in both types, this absolutely didn’t make sense. If it were not for them personally witnessing it, who would have believed that such a thing had happened?
Taking full advantage of the other party being in a daze, Ling Chuxi yelled at Ling Yichen—”Go!” Her heart was secretly lamenting the fact that the gap between the realm of Great Fulfilment and the realm of True Essence was truly not something that could be overcome by martial arts techniques alone. If her attacks just now were executed using True Qi and not Battle Qi, it was fearful that the meridians in Ghost Shadow’s entire body would have been pierced through by the needle-shaped Battle Qi.
“Die!” roared Ghost Shadow after he regained his senses from his astonishment. Feeling both ashamed and angry, he swung his sword in a slashing motion at Ling Chuxi.
Ghost Shadow did not hold back at all as the Qi of True Essence surged menacingly from his entire body. Qi flowed violently across his sword’s blade as a sharp howl was heard. Then, the whole space became a vacuum with a radius of at least several feet under the strong suppression of the Qi of True Essence. Stuck in this vacuum area, Ling Chuxi had difficulty breathing and even circulating her Battle Qi became oddly difficult.
