With Heaven-Defying Talent, I Actually Became Lu Xueqi

Chapter 94 : Qin Wuyan Blocks the Path

At this moment, Lu Xueqi still did not know what had happened inside Shanhai Garden. However, she, Qi Hao, and the others also encountered trouble.

After leaving Heyang City for some distance, in the midst of a mountain forest, Lu Xueqi suddenly stopped.

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu were taken aback when they saw this, not understanding why she would halt at such a place.

But upon noticing Lu Xueqi’s icy expression and the way her gaze was fixed in a certain direction, the two immediately realized that something unusual was going on.

Without further questioning, the three of them became solemn and instantly heightened their vigilance.

Under Lu Xueqi’s watchful eyes, three figures with powerful auras emerged from the distant forest.

These three had originally planned to lie in ambush in the woods, waiting to launch a surprise attack when disciples of the Qingyun Sect passed by.

Their plan was to slay three of them and capture the woman alive.

Yet when the Qingyun disciples arrived nearby, they unexpectedly stopped.

Bloodsucking Old Demon, Qin Wuyan, and Ancestor Duanmu were all startled by this.

“Could it be that we’ve been exposed?”

Suspicion flashed across their minds, but they quickly shook their heads in denial.

When they acted, they had suppressed their auras to the extreme, leaving no flaw at all.

Believing it to be a coincidence, they continued waiting patiently.

However, after a while, that woman’s gaze still remained locked firmly upon them.

Qin Wuyan’s expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice:

“We’ve already been exposed. Let’s strike directly!”

Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu both nodded gravely. Their figures flickered, and they shot toward Lu Xueqi and the others, emitting eerie “jie jie jie” laughter.

When the three appeared, Lu Xueqi spoke coldly:

“So, you’re finally willing to come out?”

If not for the presence of Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao at her side, she would have already unleashed a thunderous strike upon discovering the ambush, exterminating the three in one blow.

With her current strength, eliminating them was no more than lifting a hand.

In the blink of an eye, the three stood before Lu Xueqi and the others, their gazes cold as they scrutinized them.

The moment they laid eyes on Lu Xueqi, the three were stunned.

‘Such a beautiful woman!’

They marveled inwardly.

But as seasoned figures of the Demonic Sect, they quickly regained composure.

Qin Wuyan’s eyes burned hotter, his heartbeat pounding wildly as he muttered under his breath:

“So this is Lu Xueqi? To think she’s so breathtaking…”

Lu Xueqi’s expression remained as frosty as ever, her aura brimming with dignity.

Circulating her spiritual power to sense them, she quickly made a judgment:

Among the three, two possessed strength at the Upper Purity Realm, while the other was at the level of the Ninth Level of the Jade Purity Realm.

Such a lineup clearly came with ill intent.

Sensing their auras more carefully, she found that Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu exuded surging blood qi and a dense killing intent—obvious butchers of the Demonic Path whose hands were drenched in blood.

As for the young man, gray mist coiled around his body, concealing venom within. The sinister aura suggested he was most likely from one of the Demonic Sect’s Four Branches—the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

“Who are you? Why attempt to ambush us here?”

Lu Xueqi asked coldly.

Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu did not reply. Instead, they simultaneously turned toward Qin Wuyan.

Although Qin Wuyan’s cultivation was slightly weaker than theirs, as the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, his identity and status were above them.

Facing the cold and peerless Lu Xueqi, listening to her voice like frosty jade, Qin Wuyan’s heart involuntarily trembled.

But he quickly steadied himself, feigning elegance as he cupped his hands.

“I am Qin Wuyan of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. These two are our elders, Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu.”

Lu Xueqi’s expression remained unchanged, her eyes indifferent.

With her current strength, the three before her were no more than ants.

However, Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, and Zhang Xiaofan all paled in shock.

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, well-versed in the original tale, knew that Ancestor Duanmu and Bloodsucking Old Demon were notoriously troublesome even within the Upper Purity Realm.

And Qin Wuyan, who was supposed to appear only ten years later, ranked alongside Gui Li and the others as one of the “Three Young Masters of the Demonic Sect”—yet here he was, revealed ahead of time. The sight was truly alarming.

Relying on memories from his past life, Zhang Xiaofan quickly calculated the difference in strength between both sides.

After comparing, his brows furrowed ever deeper.

On their side, they had only two who had just entered the Upper Purity Realm. Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu, however, were seasoned veterans, far from being equal to novices.

He hastily transmitted a message to Lu Xueqi:

“Senior Sister Lu, the two from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect are too strong. We may not be their match. Perhaps we should retreat first!”

Lu Xueqi did not immediately respond to Zhang Xiaofan. Instead, she coldly questioned Qin Wuyan once more.

“Ten Thousand Poison Sect blocking our path? Are you seeking death?”

Qin Wuyan had assumed that revealing his identity would intimidate them, yet seeing Lu Xueqi and the others completely unafraid only made his excitement grow.

From the moment he first saw Lu Xueqi, he had secretly resolved—no matter what, today he would capture this beauty.

Hearing her icy question, Qin Wuyan sneered:

“Seeking death? I say it’s you who’s courting death! You must be Lu Xueqi of the Qingyun Sect, yes?

Can’t you see the situation clearly? Our strength far surpasses yours. I advise you to surrender quietly, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Lu Xueqi let out a cold laugh.

“Is that so? Just the likes of you?”

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu both felt a chill in their hearts. They knew full well that their side was absolutely no match for the three from the Demonic Sect.

The two quickly transmitted their voices:

“Senior Sister Lu, the strength of these three from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is too great—we should retreat!”

But Lu Xueqi calmly replied:

“No need to worry. Since we’ve encountered such scum of the Demonic Sect, we must kill them here today!”

Her words left Qi Hao and the others stunned. With only her First Level of the Upper Purity Realm cultivation, how could she slay such formidable foes? They were filled with doubt.

Lu Xueqi once again sent a tactical sound transmission:

“Zhang Xiaofan, you possess battle strength of the Upper Purity Realm. First, hold off Bloodsucking Old Demon. Once I deal with Ancestor Duanmu, I’ll immediately come to assist you. Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu—you two focus on blocking Qin Wuyan.”

Zhang Xiaofan had originally intended to persuade Lu Xueqi to retreat, but seeing her resolute determination, a surge of resolve welled within him.

In his heart, Lu Xueqi outweighed everything. Even if it cost his life, he would protect her. Thus, he slowly nodded.

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.

Learning that they wouldn’t need to face Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu directly, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Plans already formed in their minds: they would do their utmost to block Qin Wuyan, but if the situation turned dire, they would immediately seize the chance to escape.

Without further words, Lu Xueqi waved her right hand. The Tianyao Divine Sword instantly appeared by her side.

In that moment, the blade shone with dazzling blue light, trembling slightly, as if eagerly awaiting a great battle.

Seeing that Lu Xueqi and the others not only refused to surrender but were preparing to fight, Qin Wuyan’s expression darkened.

He shouted coldly:

“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

Afterward, he gave Bloodsucking Old Demon and Ancestor Duanmu a meaningful glance.

The two instantly understood. Their figures flickered, pouncing toward Lu Xueqi and her companions, intending to subdue them with overwhelming strength.

Lu Xueqi’s gaze sharpened. With a cold shout—“Do it!”—she no longer hesitated, her figure flashing forward as she charged toward Ancestor Duanmu.

At the same time, the Tianyao Divine Sword left its sheath, fierce sword intent flooding the air.

Ancestor Duanmu’s expression tightened when he saw Lu Xueqi strike.

Previously, he had dismissed them, believing that though they were geniuses of the Qingyun Sect’s younger generation, at their age they could at most be at the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Jade Purity Realm.

But the moment Lu Xueqi made her move, he realized with shock just how wrong he had been—she had already reached the Upper Purity Realm!

Though there was still a gap between them, she was nonetheless capable of posing a real threat.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan brought out the Soul-Devouring Staff, engaging Bloodsucking Old Demon head-on.

Although Bloodsucking Old Demon’s blood-sucking secret art was powerful, the Blood Pearl embedded within the Soul-Devouring Staff was its natural nemesis.

With his Seventh Level of the Jade Purity Realm strength, Zhang Xiaofan managed to hold his ground in battle against Bloodsucking Old Demon.

Meanwhile, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu jointly faced Qin Wuyan. At first, they felt no pressure. With their own formidable combat power, they were more than enough to restrain him.

Yet as the battle wore on, they discovered that at critical moments their minds would suddenly become hazy, allowing Qin Wuyan to evade their strikes.

Upon closer observation, they were shocked.

They realized that in those moments of mental daze, Qin Wuyan’s eyes instantly turned blood-red, with several tomoe-like symbols spinning rapidly within.

Qi Hao exclaimed in alarm.

“Sharingan!”

The sudden shout caused Qin Wuyan’s expression to change dramatically mid-battle.

He had not expected anyone in this world to recognize the Sharingan, and an ominous premonition rose within him. Could it be that Qi Hao himself is also a transmigrator?

He roared furiously.

“How do you know about the Sharingan? Speak! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Qi Hao hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Lin Jingyu.

“Junior Brother Lin, this man is very likely a transmigrator as well! We can’t afford to hold back any longer. How about we finish him off first?”

Lin Jingyu’s expression turned cold as he nodded.

Previously, both had refrained from going all out, wary of revealing too much in front of each other, merely displaying a portion of their true strength.

But now that they knew Qin Wuyan was most likely a transmigrator, they had to change their approach and kill him immediately.
