Chapter 658 658: Reaching Out a Palm Behind
HUM!
The void trembled as if the bright moon in the sky had been washed away by the sea, ceasing to exist!
At this moment, everyone in Yangming District saw the sky above them turn into a rolling azure expanse, as if an ocean had suddenly descended upon Yangming District!
And it had even swallowed the previously bright moon!
A wonder of the world!
Truly a wonder of the world!
It drew countless exclamations of amazement as people were intoxicated by a fantastical scene they had never witnessed, nor even imagined!
However, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden exclaimed in shock, her face deathly pale. Staring in disbelief at the azure expanse that covered the sky, she was utterly astounded. "How is this possible!? How could you possibly seize my Treasure Weapon!?"
The Xuan Yue Divine Light Mirror was a Saintly Arm, one obtained by the West Emperor from an ancient ruin. It was passed down with the inheritance of the Profound Maiden's Palace and attached to the designation 'Nine Heavens Profound Maiden.'
However, before truly stepping into the Dao of Saints and breaking through the Semi-Saint realm, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden could not control this Treasure Weapon. Now that she had begun to transform her True Qi into True Force, the Xuan Yue Divine Light Mirror had become her personal Treasure Weapon!
The connection was extremely close!
It was almost impossible to be taken away, yet now, she found she could no longer sense the presence of the Xuan Yue Divine Light Mirror!
"Four thousand years ago, my ancestor of Mount Tu accompanied King Da Yu in controlling the waters. Passing through Guixu, he conceived the 'Infinite Ruin Sutra.' After achieving great accomplishment as a Saint, this technique was integrated into his Sacred Domain, granting the ability to devour Treasure Weapons!"
Tu Shan Yi Guang glanced indifferently at the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden and then paid her no more mind. Turning to Nie Rongrong, she said, "Rongrong, step aside. This man behind you must die!"
"No! I won't move!" Nie Rongrong shook her head, staring at Tu Shan Yi Guang, and said, "I can't step aside! Sister, you're too obstinate! Indeed, you suffered greatly two thousand years ago, but that doesn't mean all men in the world deserve to die!"
"I won't bother with other men, but any man who gets close to you must be coveting your beauty—an allure from our Fox Clan of Mount Tu that no one in the mortal realm can resist!" Tu Shan Yi Guang declared decisively. "You are merely deceived by his sweet words into believing him!"
"Oh? The beauty of the Mount Tu Fox Clan is irresistible to anyone in the human realm?" Qin Heng's voice suddenly came from behind Tu Shan Yi Guang, carrying a hint of amusement. "It's just that your face is covered with a veil, making it hard to see clearly. Why not take it off?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and directly pulled down the white veil Tu Shan Yi Guang wore, tossing it casually into the air where it fluttered away with the wind.
At this moment, her hair flew around her, strands falling on her exquisitely flawless cheeks. Her skin was as pure and white as snow, her nose straight, her lips rosy. Her beauty was peerless, perfect to the extreme!
She seemed like a celestial maiden descending from the Ninth Heaven, or the ancient Goddess Luo reappearing among mortals. The wind stood still, and the clouds froze. All things in heaven and earth paled in comparison to her beauty!
Tu Shan Yi Guang, also known as Xishi, finally revealed her full appearance—her peerless beauty that had dazzled the chaotic world more than two thousand years ago now captured Qin Heng's gaze!
"You!? When did you!?"
Tu Shan Yi Guang looked at Qin Heng in extreme shock, her stunning face filled with disbelief. She instinctively glanced back at where Nie Rongrong stood; a 'Qin Heng' was still there!
But when she looked again, she found that the 'Qin Heng' there was merely an illusion, which promptly dissipated and ceased to exist!
"An Illusion Technique!?"
"How is this possible!?"
The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden and Nie Rongrong also cried out in shock. They too had noticed the sudden change and stared at Qin Heng in disbelief.
Somehow, the Qin Heng who had been standing behind them had been an illusion all along. The real Qin Heng had probably been behind Tu Shan Yi Guang from the start!
However, the Fox Clan of Mount Tu was most famous for its Illusion Techniques. Even the greatest illusion masters in the mortal realm during the Ancient Era could not compare to the Illusion Techniques of the Fox Clan. How could he possibly cast an illusion that even Tu Shan Yi Guang couldn't detect!?
Incredible!
This was truly unbelievable!
"Indeed, a rare beauty among mortals," Qin Heng extended a finger, gently lifting Tu Shan Yi Guang's luminous, jade-like chin. Scrutinizing her face with care, he chuckled, "A pity. In the end, it's merely mortal beauty."
Even the most beautiful mortal pales in comparison to the celestial maidens and goddesses of the Heavenly Realm.
"You're seeking death!" Tu Shan Yi Guang, enraged, swung the Longsword in her hand, slashing towards Qin Heng with a sharp glint, brimming with murderous intent, showing no mercy!
Never before had she been treated so disrespectfully. Not even back in the palace of the Kingdom of Wu, not even when she yearned for Fan Li, had she allowed anyone to touch her in the slightest!
But now, to think that a man had torn off her veil and was holding her chin with his finger, scrutinizing her face!
What was this!?
Humiliation!
Humiliation!!
Tu Shan Yi Guang could not tolerate it!
"You shall die!" Her voice resonated like the cry of a phoenix, echoing through the heavens, shaking the clouds, and rattling the nine heavens!
Meanwhile, a pale-blue sword light radiated from her palm, and the True Force of a Saint at the Great Accomplishment stage poured into it, pushing its might to the extreme. The sword light hadn't even been unleashed yet, but it had already spawned a terrifying Sword Qi storm encompassing a radius of over ten kilometers!
"Qin Heng, run for it! Run! This is the work of a Saint King level swordsmith from our clan! The Surging Waves Holy Sword! It's extremely powerful; you can't take it head-on!" Nie Rongrong shouted loudly, trying to warn Qin Heng to avoid the sharp weapon in Tu Shan Yi Guang's hands!
Even though Qin Heng had just displayed a miraculous and potent Illusion Technique, Nie Rongrong still didn't believe he stood a chance against Tu Shan Yi Guang. The gap in their realms was just too vast!
Innate and Saint!
The difference was as vast as that between clouds and mud, or heaven and earth!
"Right! Mr. Xuantian, run! I'll do my utmost to fend off this Fox Clan member!" The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden also cried out vigorously, not believing that Qin Heng could be a match for Tu Shan Yi Guang!
After all, the difference in Cultivation Realms could not be bridged even by a superb Illusion Technique!
"Trying to flee now? It's too late!" Tu Shan Yi Guang's voice echoed in the sky. She held her Longsword aloft, pointing it to the heavens, her gaze locked on Qin Heng. Then, she swung her sword down!
SLICE!
The sword light burst forth as if the firmament itself was being torn open. The sea of clouds within a radius of over ten kilometers churned and swirled, seemingly split in two by an enormous shockwave!
From a higher perspective, one would see Tu Shan Yi Guang's sword strike instantly part the clouds for over ten kilometers ahead, like cleaving a river or dividing the sea, splitting the cloud layer completely in two!
Naturally, as it split the clouds, the sword light had already engulfed Qin Heng!
"Beneath this sword, the sea of clouds parts, and even Saints shall fall!" Tu Shan Yi Guang's voice was ice-cold as she declared solemnly, "A mere Innate, relying on impressive Illusion Techniques, has now turned to ash, I presume!"
But just at this moment, golden light began gathering behind Tu Shan Yi Guang from all directions. She was utterly unaware. In the blink of an eye, this golden light coalesced into the figure of Qin Heng!
Unscathed!
Saintly Arms? So what? To Qin Heng, they were nothing more than toys that could be crushed with a flick of his finger, not worth mentioning at all!
At this moment, Qin Heng floated in midair, high above. Looking down at Tu Shan Yi Guang before him, he then extended his palm forward—
