Chapter 45: Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, Qingyunzi Dies!

You look up above. The battle between five Spirit Transformation cultivators is raging, and you know that if you don't leave now, it will be too late!

"If you know what's good for you, let me go. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our old ties!" You look at Qingyunzi, whose face is dark and gloomy.

"It doesn't matter. Fellow Daoist Wuji has no need to worry about old ties. Do as you please." Qingyunzi waves his hand dismissively in front of you.

At this point, you know you can only rely on yourself.

You press two fingers of your right hand together. A strange power surfaces from your hand, and you wipe it across your eyes. Your eyes immediately undergo a bizarre change.

The Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, as an immortal-grade technique, was naturally not as simple as it appeared on the surface. What you are using now is the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye attached to the technique!

This is something you just comprehended upon entering the third layer of the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art.

Because you are still not very proficient with it, you can only barely activate it for now.

Beneath the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, everything around you has nowhere to hide!

The Qingyunzi before your eyes is merely an illusion created by a formation. The real Qingyunzi is with the other three Sect Masters.

You want to use the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to escape the formation, but the formation is too profound. It is far beyond what you can break through right now.

"Stay here and don't move. Your Master will be back shortly." You reach out and pat Shangguan Lan's head, then without another word charge toward the four figures in the distance!

Behind you, Shangguan Lan knows she is powerless to help, and can only watch helplessly.

Before you even arrive, a perfected-stage Startled Swan Sword Art strikes out with a single sword. With your current cultivation, even Nascent Soul cultivators would not dare take it head-on. A moment's carelessness would leave them severely wounded.

"How did you discover us?!!" Qingyunzi is shocked beyond measure and hurriedly moves to block.

"Oh no, it's the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye!" Ouyang Xiu snaps to his senses and quickly calls out. As a fellow cultivator of the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, Ouyang Xiu naturally knows a thing or two.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators defend with all their strength, and only barely manage to block your sword.

"I'll give you one last chance. Undo the formation and let me leave!" You hold your broken sword, its tip pointed at the four Nascent Soul cultivators.

"This man dual cultivates body and law, and can fight above his rank. Both Sect Masters of the Cloud Mist Sect died at his hands. Everyone, do not hold back!" Qingyunzi hurriedly says to the others, then takes the initiative to attack!

The other three Nascent Soul cultivators originally had no desire to act. After hearing Qingyunzi's words, they could not help but change expression and all make their moves.

Facing the siege of four Nascent Soul cultivators, your expression does not change in the slightest. You raise your broken sword and slash directly at Qingyunzi.

In this life, what you hate most are traitors!

Against the attacks of the other three Nascent Soul cultivators, you dodge when you can. When you truly cannot avoid them, you rely on your Nascent Soul body to endure them head-on.

All your output, you pour onto Qingyunzi.

A perfected-stage Startled Swan Sword Art slashes out. Qingyunzi alone has no way to block it, no matter what.

From shoulder to thigh, a bloody wound is carved open, exposing the bone and internal organs within!

The perfected-stage Startled Swan sword qi coils within his body, constantly destroying Qingyunzi's organs.

"A single sword, and I am wounded to this extent!" Qingyunzi is greatly alarmed, and the thought of retreat immediately sprouts in his mind.

But how could you let Qingyunzi go? One palm strike, and you directly slam the severely wounded Qingyunzi to the ground.

Before he can react, you rapidly close in on Qingyunzi and grab him.

In close combat, a law cultivator is no match for a body cultivator at all, especially when Qingyunzi is already severely wounded.

"Cough, cough. Fellow Daoist Wuji's strength has improved again." Held in your hand, Qingyunzi seems to have accepted his fate and begins to chat with you.

The other three Sect Masters, seeing Qingyunzi in your grasp, naturally stop attacking.

"Last chance. Undo the formation and let me out!" Your right hand grips Qingyunzi's throat tightly. In the next second, you could snap it at any moment!

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, just give me a quick end. You can't get out!" Facing the threat of death, Qingyunzi laughs bitterly and transmits his voice to you.

"Do you think that with my Nascent Soul cultivation alone, I can really break this fifth-rank God-Binding Formation?"

"This is a formation that can even trap Spirit Transformation cultivators!"

Hearing this, you fall silent. The hope of escape is shattered. Once the battle between the Spirit Transformation cultivators ends, who knows what will be waiting for you.

"What did you say up there just now?" You want to get to the bottom of things.

"Nothing much. I just told the Ancestor about the circumstances of your tribulation back then."

"The Ancestor is very interested in the technique you cultivate!"

You know that this time, you are most likely going to die.

In the cultivation world, demanding another's cultivation technique is a great taboo!

It would not be an exaggeration to call it a feud of life and death!

"As long as you obediently hand over the technique, I will plead with the Ancestor to spare your life." Qingyunzi continues. Clearly, he does not want to die either.

"Spare my life?" You laugh. Given the current attitude of the Cloud Mist Sect, you do not believe the Spirit Transformation Ancestor is someone who would not pull out the roots when cutting weeds.

You know that once the Spirit Transformation Ancestor obtains the technique, he will inevitably kill you!

After all, with your current talent, if he does not kill you, the Spirit Transformation Ancestor will probably never feel at ease.

With that thought, you know you cannot escape death. While there is still a bit of time, you decide to do something.

"Well? Have you thought it through? This is your last chance…" Before Qingyunzi can finish speaking, you directly snap his throat, forcefully tear off his head. His body dies!

The moment Qingyunzi's Nascent Soul appears, you punch out. A trace of Heavenly Lightning power directly obliterates his Nascent Soul!

Because you strike too fast, the three opposite you are caught completely unprepared and have no time to react. By the time they do, they discover Qingyunzi is already dead!

You put away Qingyunzi's storage bag and attack the three before you directly.

One punch, and you force Ouyang Zi back. One sword strike, and the Spirit Sound Sect Master temporarily avoids your edge.

Immediately after, you close in and attack the third Nascent Soul cultivator.

In a one-on-one situation, how could this person be your match?

"Ancestor, save me!" At the critical moment, this cultivator lets out a great shout. The Spirit Transformation cultivator above the ninth heaven makes his move.

Facing a casual strike from a Spirit Transformation cultivator, you have no power to resist at all. You are directly blasted out over a hundred li!

By the time the power disperses, you cannot help but spit out a mouthful of blood. A black palm print appears on your chest, and the residual power of Spirit Transformation coils within it.

A casual strike from a Spirit Transformation cultivator has directly left you severely wounded!

If not for your Nascent Soul body, you would likely already be dead!
