Chu Tianyao took the jade pendant out of his storage bag.
He infused some vital energy into the jade pendant...
This amount of vital energy is almost at the limit of the Acquired Realm.
However, this amount of energy is completely insignificant to Chu Tianyao, who is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Next, Chu Tianyao took out the Concealing Pearl.
He abruptly lowered his aura to the first level of the Acquired Realm...
At this moment, he looked extremely weak, as if he were on the verge of death.
"Although my cultivation level has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, it is still above Qi Mengqiu's..."
"But the other party may have some special tricks or trump cards, which may pose a threat to me even if they are of a higher level. I cannot be careless."
Chu Tianyao thought to himself, "Since Qi Mengqiu used this jade pendant to scheme against me, I will turn the tables on him and lower his guard so that I can kill him with one blow."
......
Qi Mengqiu quietly watched the autumn leaves fall outside the window, a faint sense of anticipation rising in her heart.
"Today is the day I made an appointment with Chen Ping'an. I told him that he would be fully recovered in seven days and that he should come here to meet me then."
"This cabin in the suburbs is almost deserted... which is perfect for me to completely eliminate Chen Ping'an and seize his Yin-Yang Chaos Body."
Qi Mengqiu laughed. "The withering of life is always somewhat desolate, but a weak life sacrificing itself can create a greater life... This may not be another kind of rebirth."
"Hmm? They've already arrived?" Hearing the footsteps getting closer in the distance, Qi Mengqiu smiled slightly and slowly walked out of the small wooden house.
Outside, autumn is in full swing.
The sky was high and clear, with a few wispy clouds drifting by, casting dappled light and shadow, adding a touch of melancholy to the tranquil scene.
The forest path was covered with fallen leaves, their golden, deep red, and light brown hues intertwined, resembling a magnificent yet poignant painting.
The autumn wind blows gently, carrying a touch of coolness and a hint of reluctance. It passes through the treetops, swirling up withered leaves that twirl and fall in the air before finally settling quietly in the embrace of the earth, completing a cycle of life.
Qi Mengqiu stood amidst the autumn colors, seemingly blending into her surroundings.
Ten years of arduous training allowed him to perfectly integrate with his surroundings...
Although he was only a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he already showed signs of the unity of the three realms (heaven, earth, and man).
Not far away, Chu Tianyao walked over with faltering steps.
Qi Mengqiu looked at the haggard-looking young man in front of her, a flash of murderous intent passing through her eyes.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the jade pendant at Chu Tianyao's waist...
Qi Mengqiu's mind stirred slightly, and the jade pendant seemed to respond, emitting a faint light.
"Sure enough, this jade pendant contains a lot of energy. Chen Ping'an is probably almost completely drained!"
Chu Tianyao showed a delighted expression when he saw Qi Mengqiu.
He quickened his pace and came to stand in front of Qi Mengqiu.
"Mr. Qi, you said before... that if I wore this jade, I would be completely healed in seven days... but why do I feel like my condition is getting worse and worse these past few days!"
Chu Tianyao looked puzzled. "It's like... all the power in my body is being stripped away. Mr. Qi, why is that?"
Qi Mengqiu smiled and said, "This is normal. You had been overworked and had too many hidden ailments in your body. This protective jade pendant is helping you remove the remaining toxins!"
Chu Tianyao's face showed a look of sudden realization. "So that's how it is. Thank you, Mr. Qi, for saving my life."
"I've heard people say that many things can't be built without destruction, and this must be what they mean by that."
Qi Mengqiu smiled and nodded, "Chen Ping'an, seven days have passed. Hand me the jade pendant. I'll check the changes in the protective jade pendant."
Chu Tianyao took off the jade pendant from his waist and respectfully handed it to Qi Mengqiu.
As soon as the jade pendant was in hand, a primordial power of yin and yang slowly emerged.
Qi Mengqiu was overjoyed. "Although this power is weak, only at the acquired level, given time... I might be able to gradually evolve my physique into the Yin-Yang Chaos Body!"
At that very moment!
A dazzling blade flashed, and the sword was drawn from its sheath—the third move of the Six Styles of Wind Slash: Lightning Speed.
Chu Tianyao unleashed his formidable strength at the sixth level of Qi Refining the moment Qi Mengqiu lowered her guard and her mind wavered.
The speed and explosiveness of this strike were almost at their absolute limit!
The blade struck Qi Mengqiu squarely; he couldn't dodge it!
At that moment, Qi Mengqiu sensed the approach of death.
At the critical moment of life and death, Qi Mengqiu roared, "Blazing Sun Talisman, explode!"
A mysterious rune appeared before Qi Mengqiu, and the invincible blade of light failed to cleave Qi Mengqiu in two...
The blade's momentum was blocked by this rune.
Not only that, the runes suddenly exploded, rushing towards Chu Tianyao with terrifying killing power.
"Six Forms of Wind Slash: Wind Blade and Frost Sword!" Facing a life-threatening crisis, Chu Tianyao mustered his sword intent!
A layer of frost appeared on the blade, forming a snow barrier in front of Chu Tianyao.
"Boom!" After a brief contact, the sword intent collapsed!
The explosive force still hurtled towards Chu Tianyao at an astonishing speed.
"Magic artifact: Crescent Moon Shield!" A beam of moonlight shone down, blocking Chu Tianyao's path.
The moonlight, like water, withstood most of the explosive force of the Fiery Sun Talisman...
However, a small amount of killing power still managed to break through Yuehua's blockade and cause damage to Chu Tianyao.
He was thrown more than ten meters away by the final explosive force!
After a long while, Chu Tianyao slowly got up...
