Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1719: Fighting to the Fullest! The Yin Soldier Army Appears!
Mu Jinyu, who had come to his senses, fixed his gaze on Qingli's back, and an intense battle spirit surged within him!
At this moment, although without Divine Sense, Qingli's Divine Sense remained acutely sharp, and she immediately sensed something amiss behind her. While wielding her halberd to repel the Ghost General, she turned her head to look back.
Her eyes, bright like stars, burst into dazzling Divine light upon seeing Mu Jinyu, revealing an expression of disbelief. Her lips, covered by the Golden Mask, slightly parted, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it you? You're actually not dead!"
Hearing Qingli's exclamation, the fiery battle spirit in Mu Jinyu's eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a chilling sensation throughout his body.
He had only met Qingli once, in that Abandoned Stone Palace, and apart from that, they hadn't crossed paths again.
But why did she seem to recognize him and speak in such a manner? An expression of disbelief?
The only explanation was that when he was hiding within the Pu Demon Tree, the feeling of being seen through was not an illusion.
Qingli had indeed seen him hiding in the Pu Demon Tree, secretly manipulating it to attack those powerful beings of the Foreign Race.
Then she had personally witnessed him leaping into the turbulent flow of Divine Primordial Light and seen the burning of the Pu Demon Tree, hence her disbelief that he was still alive.
'What a terribly bad piece of news!'
Mu Jinyu's heart let out a bitter laugh. He had thought that Qingli hadn't seen through his True Body, so he resolved to leap into the Divine Primordial Light to avoid implicating the Human Race. To his surprise, Qingli had seen him.
Fortunately, it seemed Qingli hadn't revealed this matter, otherwise, the few powerful beings of the Foreign Race who had just seen him appear outside the Cliff wouldn't have toyed with him by flinging him into the abyss but would have crushed him on the spot or extracted his soul for refinement!
So, how should he handle this?
While Qingli, like him, had her cultivation sealed, should he kill her here to settle things once and for all?!
As Mu Jinyu contemplated this, his gaze suddenly took on a steely determination, tinged with killing intent.
"Kill!"
With a shout, Mu Jinyu charged at Qingli!
Thus, Qingli stood armored, wielding her halberd with an imposing power, while he couldn't summon his Divine Weapon for now. But Mu Jinyu felt no fear. After all, his limbs, refined by Human Emperor Bone Qi, rivaled ordinary Life and Death Divine Weapons, so why should he fear a battle with Qingli wielding a halberd?!
"Humph!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Qingli's beautiful eyes as she saw Mu Jinyu charging straight at her. A hint of disdain crept into her gaze.
Since she had already seen through Mu Jinyu's True Body in the Abandoned Stone Palace, she naturally knew that Mu Jinyu's real cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
A mere Divinity Transformation Realm youngster, now without the Pu Demon Tree, actually dared to dream of killing her. Was he naive or just plain foolish?
"Cha—ng!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Qingli's eyes narrowed, suddenly focusing. She swung her halberd in a sweeping motion, gold light flaring like a rising sun, limitless in its brilliance. The Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals surrounding her were immediately incinerated into gray ash, reduced to a field of bone-white dust.
"Bang!!"
Then, Qingli turned, slashing her halberd horizontally toward Mu Jinyu!
Were Mu Jinyu an ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, unprepared, he might have been cleaved in two!
However, Mu Jinyu was not ordinary, possessing rich combat experience. Seeing Qingli erupt and slaughter the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals before turning her halberd on him, he remained unfazed, striking a fist toward the halberd blade!
"Bang!!"
The clash of fist and halberd resounded like a mountain-splitting, earth-cleaving roar. Mu Jinyu swayed but quickly steadied himself.
Qingli, however, seemed unable to withstand the force of Mu Jinyu's punch, or perhaps she had underestimated him, involuntarily retreating several steps.
"Good!!"
Even as she fell into disadvantage, Qingli was neither ashamed nor angry. The look of disdain in her eyes for Mu Jinyu vanished, replaced by a spirited battle intent. With a word of praise, she charged at Mu Jinyu again, wielding her halberd!
"Humph!"
Mu Jinyu drove Qingli back with a punch. He felt that she was not so formidable; at the same cultivation and level, she couldn't suppress him.
Of course, he had some regrets. After all, a battle where neither side had substantial cultivation wasn't a true peak duel.
Some people still relied on various divine skills or Domain techniques for their top-grade combat power. Without these, they weren't necessarily much stronger than others in the Body Refining Realm or Divinity Transformation Realm.
His strength lay in his physical body. Thus, with both their cultivations sealed, he had an even greater advantage over Qingli!
Of course, he was without a Divine Weapon, while Qingli had her Golden Battle Armor and Golden War Halberd, which could somewhat even things out!
So, he longed for the day he reached the Peak of the Life and Death Realm, to engage Qingli in a fair fight!
"Bang!!"
"Boom!!"
With slight regret, Mu Jinyu thought, once again clenching a Fist Seal and unstoppably striking Qingli's incoming Golden War Halberd. Upon impact, Mu Jinyu felt a slight numbness in his arm.
He marveled inwardly that Qingli's earlier attack had not been her full strength, which was why she had been forced back!
And fortunately, his arm bones were tempered by Human Emperor Bone Qi; otherwise, such a clash might not just leave his arm numb but crippled!
"Hah!"
With a shout, Mu Jinyu suppressed the numbness in his arm. As Qingli was forced back another step by his strike, he sprang forward.
His right hand formed a Fist Seal while his left hand formed a Sword Seal. As fists and swords merged, he struck out in a Tai Chi Circle, aimed at Qingli's chest and heart!
"Courting death!"
Anger flared in Qingli's eyes. Steadying herself, she slashed her halberd at Mu Jinyu's neck!
"Clang!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu immediately abandoned the prime opportunity to crush her heart, turning to sidestep away from the danger of Qingli severing his neck!
He had no intention of perishing with Qingli!
"Boom boom!!"
"Clang!"
"Bang!!"
Soon, the two engaged in close combat, exchanging over thirty blows.
However, the more they fought, the more shaken Qingli felt.
For after thirty moves, not only had she not killed Mu Jinyu, but she also gradually found herself fighting to a draw with him. How could this not astonish her?
One must know, she was War Clan's Heaven's Pride, capable of slaying a Peak of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivator at birth. Though her cultivation was presently constrained, with her War Clan's Unparalleled Battle Body, crushing a Fanxu Realm cultivator posed no problem.
Much less a Human Race boy with sealed cultivation just like hers.
Most extraordinary was her use of the Golden War Halberd, which surpassed any Life and Death Divine Weapon, a Creation Divine Weapon. Although its Weapon Soul was trapped at the bottom of this abyss, limiting its full power, it shouldn't be something Mu Jinyu could withstand with bare hands!
"Neeeeigh!!"
Amidst their fierce combat, suddenly, a horse's neigh echoed from afar.
Neither paused the battle, though they fought while coolly assessing their surroundings.
In such an abyssal chasm devoid of life, how could there be a horse's neighing?
The only possibility was an Underworld Ghost Horse?!
"Clop clop clop!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
Just then, a uniform marching sound arose, and soon, Mu Jinyu and Qingli noticed undead soldiers appearing on all sides, their formation advancing toward them!
Upon a small hill nearby, a headless Undead Knight astride a Netherworld Horse enveloped in black ghost flame directed the undead army in silence, commanding them to launch an assault!
