Chapter 1024 - 1017: Battle Against the Immortal Venerable Realm!
"This old ghost should be from the Blood Fiend Sect!"
As Xue Kuang scrutinized Qin Yang and the others, Qin Yang's gaze also fell on Xue Kuang, his expression turning serious, with a flicker of cold light in the depths of his eyes.
From Xue Kuang's attire alone, Qin Yang had already discerned the clues. On the left chest of Ling Yun and the other two's robes, there was a pattern of an ancient beast, the Suanni, which was the emblem of the Blood Fiend Sect.
The old man's silver-edged blood clothes also bore the Suanni ancient beast pattern on his chest, clearly indicating the truth.
Moreover, judging from the aura inadvertently leaking from his body, this old monster had reached the Immortal Venerable Realm; it was just unclear which stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm he was in.
In order to deal with an Immortal Venerable Realm expert, Qin Yang and Zilan had already made certain preparations.
Still, a bit of worry lingered in Qin Yang's heart, unsure if this old ghost was just the precursor or if a larger force would arrive later.
If that were the case, things would turn quite dire.
"Gua gua gua..."
At this moment, the Blood Toad on Xue Kuang's shoulder stared at Qin Yang and the others with its bulging eyes and let out a few croaks as its throat swelled.
"Are you saying they are tainted with Yun'Er's aura?!"
Xue Kuang's cold, fierce eyes suddenly burst forth with icy light, landing squarely on Qin Yang and his companions.
"You filthy natives killed Yun'Er!!!"
Xue Kuang's face turned gloomy, fixing his gaze on Qin Yang and the others, as a powerful aura of an Immortal Venerable Realm expert erupted from within him, pressing down on Qin Yang like a mountain.
The pressure made the faces of Nangong Feiyang, Bi Luoyue, and others turn pale as well, given they were only at the Early Stage Immortal Spirit Realm, far from the Immortal Venerable's level.
Despite the pressure, Nangong Feiyang, Bi Luoyue, Leng Feng, and others showed no sign of fear on their faces, demonstrating remarkably steady mental states.
Boom!
A flicker of cold light appeared in Qin Yang's eyes as the Spiritual Power surged from within him, resisting the aura pressure completely.
In his previous life, Qin Yang was an Immortal Venerable expert and now had reached the Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm Peak cultivation, so merely resisting the aura pressure of an Immortal Venerable was not overly challenging.
"Are you referring to Ling Yun? He's dead!"
Qin Yang gazed at the old man in blood clothes, speaking coldly.
Confronting these individuals from the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain and the Blood Fiend Sect, he had no need for lengthy dialogue, as regardless of acknowledgment, the killing intent reflected in their eyes indicated they would inevitably strike.
Thus, Qin Yang responded simply and crisply while provoking this old ghost.
"Indeed!"
Upon hearing Qin Yang admitting so bluntly, Xue Kuang's face turned instantly dark and thunderous, his eyes filled with substantial killing intent falling upon Qin Yang.
"You little beast, dare kill my disciple!!!"
Xue Kuang fixed his icy gaze on Qin Yang, speaking in a voice as cold as the abyss.
The little brat in front exuded a Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm Peak aura, linking him to Ling Yun's level.
As for his companions, aside from one in the Middle Stage Immortal Spirit Realm, the rest were mere novices at the Early Stage Immortal Spirit Realm.
Nevertheless, in his mind, even if these people fought against Ling Yun's trio, who were among the Blood Fiend Sect's geniuses, they would have proven no match, yet the situation had unfolded this way, leaving him obliged to acknowledge it.
"My disciple was extraordinarily talented; now the old man wants to see what methods you employed to kill him!"
Xue Kuang fixed his icy gaze on Qin Yang and spoke chillingly.
Boom!
Without further words, Xue Kuang's aura exploded wide open, the immense pressure enveloping the sea surface across hundreds of miles.
The pressure Qin Yang and others felt magnified several-fold, causing Nangong Feiyang, Bi Luoyue, Leng Feng, and others to waver slightly in their stance.
"Middle Stage Immortal Venerable?!"
Feeling Xue Kuang's aura, Qin Yang's face turned serious, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
If the opponent was at Early Stage Immortal Venerable or even the Early Stage peak cultivator, Qin Yang had some confidence to slay them, but this old ghost's prowess was astoundingly at the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable!
"Hmph, once I've done Soul Searching, if it truly was you filthy natives who killed Yun'Er, the old man shall, with True Fire, extract your souls and refine your essences till you can neither live nor die!"
Xue Kuang snorted coldly, eyes dripping with murderous coldness, then stretched out his withered right hand toward Qin Yang.
Boom!
As Xue Kuang reached out, the blood-colored Spirit Pill within his Dantian flickered, releasing a torrent of incomparably powerful Blood Spirit Power from his palm.
The Blood Spirit Power transformed mid-air into a massive bloodthirsty hand with strands of Blood Dao flames rising from it.
The entire bloodthirsty hand was shrouded in the dual laws' ripple of Blood Dao and Fire Dao.
Facing the descent of the bloodthirsty hand, Qin Yang felt an evasive powerlessness.
"Sect Leader!"
"Brother Qin Yang!"
Seeing Qin Yang standing still mid-air as the bloodthirsty giant hand fell, Nangong Feiyang, Zilan, and others' expressions changed.
"It's overwhelmingly strong."
Qin Yang's face darkened, his eyes flashing with chill; this old man indeed proved to be a mighty Middle Stage Immortal Venerable expert—a significant level difference compared to him.
"Since it can't be avoided, I'll destroy it directly!"
A flash of fierce light appeared in Qin Yang's eyes.
Within his Dantian, the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus began spinning, releasing Extreme Cold Power which expanded throughout Qin Yang's body.
Boom!
At this moment, the space around Qin Yang for tens of meters suddenly grew frigid.
Crack crack!
On Qin Yang's tightly clenched right fist, a layer of extremely cold ice crystal formed, enveloping his fist.
"Ice Crystal Fist."
Facing the descending bloodthirsty giant hand, a flash of cold light appeared in Qin Yang's eyes as he delivered a punch.
Boom!
A massive Ice Crystal Fist burst from Qin Yang's fist, charging towards the bloodthirsty giant hand engulfed in scarlet flames.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
In mid-air, the Ice Crystal Fist crashed into the bloodthirsty giant hand, covering the scarlet flames of the giant hand with a layer of frost, diminishing them. Simultaneously, crackling fissures appeared on the Ice Crystal Fist and the bloodthirsty giant hand.
Boom boom!
After a deadlock lasting a heartbeat, with a loud explosion, both shattered, creating immense waves of energy that forced Qin Yang back in the void.
"You managed to withstand the attack from the old man?!"
Witnessing Qin Yang countering his attack, Xue Kuang's old face altered, revealing a sliver of unexpected shock.
Given the vast gulf naturally existing between the Immortal Spirit Realm and Immortal Venerable Realm, normally Immortal Venerable Early Stage cultivators could effortlessly crush Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm Peak cultivators, destroying them with ease, let alone as a Middle Stage Immortal Venerable cultivator.
