Chapter 252: Pill Emperor

Chapter 252: Pill Emperor

Brilliant sword beams filled the sky, weaving together with spear shadows, dazzling and eye-catching.

The two Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, who had grown up together since childhood, possessed perfect tacit understanding. When they unleashed their power together, it actually achieved an effect where 1+1 was greater than 2!

With just a flash of sword light, a ten-thousand-foot-tall Peak in the far distance was sliced clean through by this wisp of sword radiance. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and the massive mountaintop tilted, sliding off from the mountainside and crashing to the ground. The earth shook, mountains swayed, and dust billowed and roared into the air.

"I will handle the killing, you handle the sealing!"

"This time, we must take her life to accompany the Ming Emperor Blood Guards in death!"

Ning Waner and General Gu You merely exchanged a glance, and they understood each other's tactics.

The two burned their essence blood together, and spear shadows exploded across the sky, forming a cage woven from spear shadows around the Mistress of Wangqing Palace.

Upon this cage, the power of thunder surged.

As General Gu You continuously spat out fresh blood, this cage became increasingly condensed.

It was General Gu You using her essence blood to seal the space.

Inside, Ning Waner did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. She spat out a mouthful of heart blood, which stained the sword blade, causing the sword light to emit an enchanting red glow.

She slashed out with her sword; the sword radiance was so dazzling that even the sunlight grew dim.

Space was like silk, and this sword strike sliced a gap into it.

From that gap, the hideous right arm of the Mistress of Wangqing Palace disappeared along with the healing space.

"Hahaha! Burning your essence blood just to kill me!"

"What a pity, you are delusional!"

At the severed arm of the Mistress of Wangqing Palace, Gu worms continuously wriggled, and a perfectly intact arm instantly formed.

Ignoring Ning Waner's strangling attack, she kept dodging.

Punch after punch, she slammed into the cage woven from spear shadows.

The massive energy was earth-shattering; every time she struck the cage, a large swath of spear shadows would shatter.

General Gu You repaired the breaches in time, overdrawing her body, while fresh blood spilled from her mouth, one mouthful after another, as if it were worthless!

Below, seeing this scene, Luo Xianian turned her head to look at Qin Xuan and said, "It's useless. The Mistress of Wangqing Palace has studied the Dao of Gu, and she has already reached the Transcendent level. She is not someone an ordinary Quasi-Emperor Realm expert can compare to."

"Ning Waner and General Gu You appear to have the advantage now, but as time passes, their essence blood cannot be consumed endlessly like this."

"Sooner or later, the Mistress of Wangqing Palace will break through the cage!"

"Once she escapes, it will be a slaughter!"

Luo Xianian turned to look at Qin Xuan and said, "It's still the same condition: hand over the person from Hidden Kill. I have a great use for them. As long as you agree, I can resolve the current crisis."

Qin Xuan looked up and down at Luo Xianian's graceful and curvaceous body, "You don't look like a Quasi-Emperor either."

Luo Xianian really disliked Qin Xuan's unbridled gaze and replied, "I am indeed not a Quasi-Emperor, but I have a clever trick for dealing with Gu cultivators like the Mistress of Wangqing Palace."

Qin Xuan shrugged indifferently, "That you have a clever trick is your own business. This is the Mingyue Dynasty, and everything is under the watchful eyes of Empress Mingyue. I don't believe that a mere Middle Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Mistress of Wangqing Palace can turn the sky upside down."

"If that were truly the case, the Mingyue Dynasty would have long been annexed by the Ziyang Empire!"

Luo Xianian said indignantly, "That's because you don't understand anything!"

"Not long before Empress Mingyue succeeded to the throne, she was barely at the Peak Saint King Realm. After the previous Emperor of the Mingyue Dynasty fell, she suddenly gained the strength to battle a Great Emperor."

"Her situation is probably remarkably similar to yours; she is using power that does not belong to her."

"Previously, she already clashed with Great Emperor Ziyang in the Ziyang Empire. Now, she must be suffering from significant repercussions and cannot make another move. Otherwise, how could she turn a blind eye to this situation?"

"If you keep waiting, Ning Waner and General Gu You, including you, will all die here!"

Looking at Ning Waner, who was fighting in a pool of blood within the sealed space, Qin Xuan curled his lips slightly and said, "No wonder they are fighting so desperately. So it turns out they know Empress Mingyue cannot provide support."

"If the Mistress of Wangqing Palace here escapes, it will be a devastating blow to the Imperial City and will also pose a threat to the position of Empress Mingyue!"

Just at this moment, as if sensing Qin Xuan's crisis, the voice of Leng Li rang out from within the ancient prison-suppressing tower, "By utilizing the styx purple ice crystal, I can slay that old Gu worm!"

"You're awake!?" Qin Xuan was surprised; he hadn't expected Leng Li to wake up so quickly.

"I just woke up. Moreover, as the Acquired artifact spirit of the ancient prison-suppressing tower, since the ancient prison-suppressing tower has returned to the ranks of Emperor Weapons, I have also gained extraordinary benefits."

"Now, by absorbing the Origin of the ancient prison-suppressing tower, I have logically obtained the Legacy of the 'Nether River Blood Scripture' within the styx purple ice crystal. In terms of Realm, I have even surpassed my Peak period and ascended to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

"Even at the Early Stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, that old Gu worm is no match for me. Joining forces with Ning Waner and that female general, I can kill her within three moves!"

The current Leng Li was no longer what she used to be.

Having obtained the Nether River Blood Scripture, her combat power had skyrocketed.

Even at the Early Stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, she dared to fight the Middle Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Mistress of Wangqing Palace.

She even declared that she could annihilate her!

Qin Xuan said with a face full of joy, "You breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm is the best thing that could happen!"

After a long pause, he shook his head and said, "However, now is not the time for you to make a move. Let's wait and see how things develop."

Perhaps in the eyes of Ning Waner and Luo Xianian, Empress Mingyue could not possibly step in to help.

But in his view, the situation would not be as simple as they expected.

He even suspected that this was a trap.

A massive trap to lure the snake out of its hole!

He did not believe that Empress Mingyue, whose every word and action was flawless, who made it difficult for him to get close, and with whom he could only converse by relying on the identity of Zhou Chen, was just an empty shell!

If Empress Mingyue were truly so incompetent, how could she have allowed the Mingyue Dynasty to stand for so many years without any signs of decline?

Most importantly, the Child of Luck, Zhou Chen, had not yet grown up, and the two Daughters of Luck, such as Empress Mingyue and Ning Waner, could not possibly encounter a life-threatening danger in the true sense at such a time!

"What are you still waiting for!?"

"That woman, Empress Zhou Wu, cannot come forward again!"

"Things have reached this point; if she could make a move, she would have already made a move to suppress and kill this Mistress!"

"If she could make a move, why would she have a Formation Master seal off such a vast area? Not daring to let a shred of news leak out?"

"Don't you want to kill Qin Xuan?"

"Qin Xuan is right here. If you don't make a move now, once this Mistress dies, who else can hold back these four stray dogs for you!?"

Within the space sealed by General Gu You, the injuries on the Mistress of Wangqing Palace were becoming increasingly severe.

She discovered with horror that Ning Waner was like an immortal cockroach.

No matter how serious the injuries she sustained, she could instantly crawl back up, and her combat power was even vaguely increasing.

This left her overwhelmed, forcing her to cry out for help.

"Fine, whether it's bullying the young or taking advantage of the weak, today, if this old man does not make a move, it would be a disservice to the painstaking efforts I have cultivated in the past!"

From the far distance, a white-haired old man came stepping on a cauldron.

Seven-colored flames swirled around his body; it was the Seven-Colored Fire used for refining Emperor-Grade Medicinal Pills.

His magnificent aura directly rivaled that of a Great Emperor.

It was as vast as a great sun, impossible to look at directly.

The two severely injured Quasi-Emperors, witnessing this person crossing the border to come here, roared, "A Quasi-Emperor from the Ziyang Empire, how dare you enter the territory of our Mingyue Dynasty!?"

The two attacked together, shattering the space the old man had broken through.

"Are ants worthy of making noise in front of this old man!?"

With a flick of the white-haired old man's finger, two beams of light shot out rapidly.

The two severely injured Quasi-Emperor Realm experts fell from high in the sky like kites with broken strings; one died and one was injured!
