Qin Xiao felt a sharp pain in his chest, a metallic taste rising in his throat, and his vision blurring. Ye Chen's vicious [Thunder Palm] strike not only injured his internal organs but also injected a scorching and domineering foreign true energy into his body, recklessly colliding with his meridians.
"Cough...cough cough..." He coughed violently, each cough aggravating his wound and causing excruciating pain. Blood kept oozing from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his chest and staining it red.
"Hehehe..." The monstrous Liu Qingrong let out a chilling laugh, her twisted and terrifying face filled with cruel pleasure. "Injured? Even better! Your luck, your flesh and blood, will all become my nourishment!"
She seemed particularly interested in Qin Xiao's blood, her long, scarlet tongue licking her lips again, her dark eyes gleaming with even greater greed.
Before she finished speaking, she sprang up again, this time even faster than before. The yin wind she generated was almost tangible, stirring up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground to form a small black whirlwind that rushed straight towards the swaying Qin Xiao!
The black, swirling claws, like the scythe of death, tore through the air, carrying a dense aura of death, and were about to crush Qin Xiao's head!
"Qin Xiao!" Master Qing Sheng's eyes widened in horror, his hand gripping the yellow talisman tightly, but it was too late to save him. This fiendish creature was too fast!
Ye Chen stood not far away, clutching his aching chest, his eyes twisted with venomous resentment. Seeing Qin Xiao about to die, a morbid pleasure surged within him. Die! It's better that he's dead! Liu Qingyou is mine! The glory of the Chosen One is mine too!
Qin Xiao's pupils contracted sharply, the shadow of death instantly enveloping him. He tried to dodge, but severely injured, his body couldn't react in time to his consciousness. The golden peach wood sword seemed utterly powerless at that moment.
The Demon-Slaying Sword Technique? Unstoppable!
The Five Thunder Orthodox Method? Too late!
Could it be... that I'm really going to fail here today?
He was unwilling to accept it!
Just as the sharp claws were about to touch his forehead, a cold and mechanical notification sound, completely different from Yun Yiyi's loud and boisterous voice, suddenly rang in Qin Xiao's mind!

A torrent of information flooded into Qin Xiao's almost stagnant consciousness.
Zhang Daoling? Zhang Tianshi?!
Almost instinctively, Qin Xiao's mind locked onto the fourth option!
[Selection Confirmed: Zhengyi Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun – Zhang Daoling (Celestial Master's Edict). Role-playing begins!]
Boom!!
An aura of immeasurable vastness, majesty, and holiness, like an ancient star awakening after sleeping for billions of years, instantly filled Qin Xiao's limbs and even the depths of his soul!
The scorching heat of the Thunder Palm technique vanished instantly before this aura, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. The excruciating pain in his internal organs seemed to be soothed by a warm yet powerful force.
Qin Xiao's face, which had been deathly pale from blood loss, quickly regained its rosy hue, even radiating a luminous glow. His slightly trembling body stood ramrod straight, like a mountain supporting the heavens and the earth.
The most noticeable change was in his eyes.
Those eyes, which were originally clear and slightly cold, now became incredibly deep, as if they contained the endless mysteries of the universe's birth and death, and the cycle of the great Dao. Their gaze was calm, yet it carried an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon all living beings and wielded the power of thunder.
His robes fluttered and rustled even without wind. Standing there, though still resembling Qin Xiao, he gave off an aura of reverence, as if he weren't a person, but rather the embodiment of some rule, some order!
This sudden change stunned everyone.
The first to be affected is the treacherous Liu Qingrong, who is about to succeed!
Her claws stopped less than half an inch from Qin Xiao's forehead, as if they had hit an invisible, indestructible divine wall, and could not advance any further!
What terrified her even more was the aura emanating from Qin Xiao!
That's... the scent of a natural enemy!
It is the ultimate Yang and the most powerful, the majestic might of Heaven, the most fundamental restraint and judgment of all Yin, evil and filth!
The surging black aura emanating from her body seemed to have met its nemesis in the face of this aura. It frantically tried to shrink back into its body, but was firmly absorbed by an invisible force, constantly emitting a "sizzling" purification sound and wisps of green smoke, melting away as quickly as snow under the scorching sun!
"Ah...ah..." The monstrous Liu Qingrong couldn't utter a complete roar; only trembling sobs of extreme fear escaped her throat. For the first time, a clear, soul-deep terror was revealed on her grotesque, distorted face! Her dark pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at Qin Xiao before her, as if she were seeing the most unbelievable and terrifying being in the world.
She wanted to retreat, to escape, but her body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move! That invisible pressure, like billions of mountains, pressed down on her "soul," making it difficult for her to even have a thought of resistance.
