Lying Low in the Martial World to Become a Saint-Chapter 128 - 101: Embracing Pill
In an instant, three figures shot down from the top of the slope like phantoms, their target the carriage!
The leader was none other than Sun Kui, who had just broken through to the Early-stage Embrace Pill Power. A cruel, red light glinted in his right eye, black energy surged around his body, and his aura was menacing.
Li Xiao and Hu Sifang followed close behind. Their Ghost Head Sabers stirred up a vicious, evil wind, sealing off any escape to the left or right.
At almost the same moment Sun Kui roared, an even more concealed killing intent erupted from the grass beneath the carriage!
Qian Tong’s figure appeared eerily, his five fingers formed into a claw as he lunged for the carriage floorboards—directly at Chen Qing’s position! His attack was vicious and brutal.
"Hmph!"
Inside the carriage, Wu Tieshan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly shot them open, a brilliant light flashing within!
The vast and powerful aura of a Mid-stage Embracing Pill Power expert erupted in an instant. The temperature inside the carriage seemed to spike as a searing, ferocious Qi Force emanated from his body. His Li Huo True Qi was ready to be unleashed!
’He never expected someone would dare to ambush them on the official road.’
’What shocked and enraged him even more was that the leader’s aura... it seemed to be from the Infinite Demon Skill!’
Chen Qing’s reaction was incredibly fast!
The moment Qian Tong’s aura was exposed, the veins on Chen Qing’s arm bulged. He shot his fist out like a long spear, piercing through the not-so-thick carriage floorboards with absolute precision!
The Fist Force, infused with the power of Great Success in Transmutation Force Realm, unleashed a Penetration Power far beyond the ordinary, along with a bone-chilling cold!
"THUD!"
A dull, short thud came from under the carriage.
Qian Tong, who had just lunged upward with a savage grin not yet fully formed on his face, suddenly froze in mid-air!
He looked down at his chest in disbelief. He had been struck by a fist, and his sternum was caved in.
He didn’t even have time to scream before the cold glint in his eyes was replaced by boundless horror. His body went limp as if it had been drained of all strength and collapsed, blood gushing out.
Qian Tong, the fifth of the Seven Tigers of Yin Sha, was dead!
"Fifth Brother!"
Sun Kui, who was charging down the slope, felt his eyes might split with rage. He let out a furious roar, and his attack became even more frenzied!
"You little bastard! Die!" Li Xiao and Hu Sifang were also filled with grief and fury.
No one had expected Qian Tong to die a violent death the moment he appeared!
"BOOM!"
A ferocious and powerful momentum, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly exploded from within the carriage!
The sturdy roof of the carriage was instantly blown away as if it were made of paper!
Amidst the flying wood splinters, a burly figure rose to his full height. It was Wu Tieshan!
He drew his long saber, its blade as red as a branding iron and radiating a heat intense enough to melt metal. He then swung it forward, and a searing wave of heat instantly enveloped Sun Kui!
"BOOM!"
The claw power and Saber Qi collided violently. The resulting Qi Force overflowed, sending the grass and trees by the side of the road flying!
Although Sun Kui had broken through to the Embracing Pill realm, his foundation was unstable. How could he be a match for a veteran like Wu Tieshan, who was at the Mid-stage Embracing Pill Power realm?
His blood roiled and his arm throbbed with excruciating pain as his body was sent flying backward uncontrollably! His first reaction was: ’This is bad, it’s a trap!’
His brothers had investigated the intelligence personally; there was no room for error. There was only one possibility—
’This was a trap deliberately set by Chen Qing to lure them out!’
"What a ruthless tactic!" Sun Kui ground out through clenched teeth.
Wu Tieshan’s heart grew cold, and his figure shot forward at the same time!
Almost at the same instant he moved, a cold light flashed in Chen Qing’s eyes, and he shot out like an arrow loosed from a bowstring!
Facing the pincer attack from Li Xiao and Hu Sifang, his eyes were icy. He twisted at the waist, channeling power into his arms!
The Cold Chiyi Spear in his hand, carrying a Power like that of a collapsing mountain or a tsunami, swept out violently!
Mountain Prison-Suppression Spear! Immovable Prison Suppression!
The spear’s shadow was like a collapsing mountain range, crashing down and instantly enveloping both men completely!
"CLANG! SQUELCH!"
Hu Sifang blocked with his Ghost Head Saber, but an immense, irresistible force instantly traveled up the blade. His face turned pale with disbelief.
He was sent flying, saber and all, and began coughing up blood in mid-air, who knew how many ribs he had broken.
A harsh glint flashed in Li Xiao’s eyes. His Water-Splitting Needles transformed into two sinister cold gleams. Instead of a direct confrontation, he followed the gaps in the Spear Momentum, aiming to strike the joints of Chen Qing’s spear-wielding wrist and break his Power!
This thrust contained all of his insidious and cunning Power!
However, Chen Qing’s eyes were as cold as iron. With a twist of his wrist muscles, the spear shaft hummed!
It was as if he had already seen through the trajectory of the piercing cold gleams.
The spear tip didn’t sweep to block. Instead, in the nick of time, it pecked forward with the precision of a striking viper’s tongue!
"CRACK!"
The concentrated Penetration Power at the spear’s tip struck squarely on the most fragile point of Li Xiao’s right wrist bone!
The immense impact instantly shattered the bone structure. Agony shot through Li Xiao’s entire body like an electric current, and the right half of his arm went numb and useless!
He could no longer hold his Water-Splitting Needles, and they flew from his grasp with his despairing hiss!
Chen Qing’s stance and waist became one. His spine rippled like a great dragon as power surged from his heels, through his waist and hips, across his shoulders and back, and was instantly transmitted to his arm!
The spear tip that had shattered Li Xiao’s wrist didn’t pause for an instant. Borne by this vibrant Spiral Force, it shot out like a Poison Fang from a powerful crossbow. With a "SWOOSH," it tore through the air, becoming a cold, thin line barely visible to the naked eye, and stabbed straight for Li Xiao’s throat!
Speed, Power, and timing—all were executed to perfection!
"SQUELCH!"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh and cartilage rang out.
The specially ridged tip of the Cold Chiyi Spear pierced Li Xiao’s Adam’s apple without any resistance!
The cold spearhead even pierced through his cervical spine!
A lethal Power erupted the moment it penetrated!
"GURGLE..."
Li Xiao’s eyes flew wide open. Bloody foam sprayed from his mouth before he collapsed to the ground with a THUD.
Li Xiao, Lao Si of the Seven Tigers of Yin Sha, was dead!
"Brother Si—!!"
Not far away, Hu Sifang, who had just scrambled up from the ground, witnessed this horrific scene that had unfolded in a flash.
The ghastly sight of Li Xiao being impaled through the throat by the spear struck his heart like a heavy hammer!
