The surrounding black fog loudly broke apart. The three slender and beautiful men that looked completely similar and liked to finish each other’s sentences died. The light vanished from their eyes and they lost their vitality, looking like statues.
They fell down from midair, their bodies rapidly turning to stone powder that vanished into the wind.
Qin Yu stepped forward. He frowned, feeling that something wasn’t right.
Whether it was daoist Wu Ya, that doll woman, or even these three cultivators that were the fiercest he had encountered so far, they had all collapsed at the first strike from Qin Yu.
Could this be the Dark Parliament’s way of dealing with him after breaking things off with him? If it were true, then it was no different from delivering heads to him. It was simply a joke.
Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong.
Qin Yu’s frown tightened. He suddenly thought of another possibility. These people that had come to die were only dragging things out while the Dark Parliament prepared their true methods.
As this thought appeared, Qin Yu suddenly stamped his foot. Space shook and disintegrated, forming a giant black hole. When the spatial channel formed, he walked inside.
But the moment he entered, a warning alarm surged in his heart. Before he could even think, his body had instinctively moved.
He punched forward. In the next moment, the space channel was torn apart. What came at him was an incomparably sharp claw that flashed with a metallic sheen.
Fist and claw collided, and powerful vibrating shockwaves rushed outwards. Qin Yu coughed but he didn’t take a step back. He forcefully withstood the shaking strength and took a step forward. Then, he raised his hand, clenched his fingers, and ruthlessly grabbed that sharp claw.
“Come out for me!”
With a deep roar, he pulled backwards. The massive figure of a black wolf came tumbling out of the broken spatial channel.
Its single eye flashed with panic and fear. But then, all of that turned into a wild craziness.
Roar –
With a deep howl, a terrifying aura erupted. The phantom of a winged wolf appeared behind the black wolf, its dark eyes fixed on Qin Yu.
A formidable suction strength erupted from the winged wolf phantom. It directly acted on his soul, trying to swallow him up.
Qin Yu was expressionless. He raised a hand and pointed a finger. A rumbling sound filled the air. Even within the turbulent spatial flow all around, one could still feel the enormous and boundless power.
The first of the Blue Fingers, Boundless Blue!
As his finger pointed, a boundless blue rolled out in all directions!
When this technique was driven by the power of the Ancient, the might that the move erupted with surpassed all imagination.
The black wolf arched its back, its black fur standing up for the first time. Its lone eye revealed horror and fear. It roared and a rich black gas gushed out from its body, weaving around it in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, a figure howled forward and thrust into the black gas.
Bang –
The heavens shook and the black gas blew apart, tumbling and dissipating in the air. Faintly, one could see the black wolf’s shivering figure within.
Even though it had blocked this finger, it still had to pay a certain price. But even now, the winged wolf phantom that was exerting a swallowing strength on Qin Yu’s soul didn’t weaken at all.
“Damn it! If you don’t help now, I can only escape!” The black wolf spat out as it roared with resentment.
It knew that the first one to attack would be used as a chess piece to probe the opponent. But after feeling the aura coming from Qin Yu’s body, the anxiousness and fear it felt wouldn’t allow it to continue any longer.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the hypothesis they all made was correct. Although its master had been revived, his strength was in an extremely weakened state. Otherwise, with master’s cultivation, if he was in his peak state he would only need a single finger to completely squash the black wolf into goo.
Now was the best time and their only chance to kill him! They could not miss out on this!
The existences hiding in the shadows all made a similar judgment. So after the black wolf roared out, a radiant light appeared. It condensed into a spot, piercing through the turbulent space as it aimed straight at Qin Yu’s head.
Domineering and tyrannical, there was also a tragic sense to it. One could hear the sorrowful cries and wails of countless specters howling in their ears, the voices filled with hatred and fear.
This was the condensed resentment of the people that had been killed by this light. This resentment never faded, and not only did it not affect the killer, but it gave this strike the ability to shake and suppress the mind.
It arrived in an instant. Vaguely, one could see the true body beneath the dazzling light; it was a pitch black spear!
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. He lifted a hand and pointed a second finger. When this finger fell, shadowy figures flashed in the turbulent space all around.
There were humans, there were monster beasts, and there were broken and incomplete shadows filled with unwillingness. These were the obsessions that had persisted after people had died.
Now, they were all drawn in by the finger. The finger rapidly faded in color, as if it was a thick gray cloud that came before a rainstorm.
The second of the Blue Fingers, the Blue Spirit Finger. It summoned the undying resentment between the heavens and earth for one to use for themselves!
The radiant light in the black skies instantly shattered and disintegrated. The spear withstood a strong impact, causing it to tremble and cry.
It stopped in midair as if suppressed by an invisible strength, but also as if it were fiercely struggling against something.
At the end of the long spear appeared the young man who was holding it. He wore thick animal furs. The topmost furs had been torn apart by the strong shockwaves of energy, revealing his naked upper body. Scars both large and small covered almost every inch of his skin.
At this moment, as his blood energy boiled, his scars began to turn deep red, as if they were bugs lying on his skin and sucking out his blood.
Within his chest, his heart vigorously beat. The deep and heavy sound shook the mind, causing one’s soul to tremble.
Even though this man from the far-off north was withstanding a horrifying pressure, his back remained straight and stiff. He was like a tree that grew in the land of ice and snow. No matter how the storm raged against him, he never bent once.
Qin Yu looked at the bare-chested young man and his eyes flashed. He asked, “You came from the Dark Parliament?”
The man shook his head, “I am from the northern border.”
Qin Yu darkly sighed. He had no idea where the northern border was or what faction it represented. However, there was one thing he was now sure of. Those that were trying to kill him today were more than just the Dark Parliament. Or to be more accurate, the Dark Parliament was just another party in the crowd.
Through the information he gathered before, it wasn’t hard for Qin Yu to figure out that the reason these people attacked him was because they thought he was the Dragon City Master.
In other words, Qin Yu had suffered an unexpected disaster.
He had been tricked by the Ancient…although he had no idea what the Ancient’s goal was, the Ancient had to know what sort of consequences there would be if Qin Yu borrowed his strength.
Even though Qin Yu had fallen into the schemes of others, there was nothing he could complain about, because this was originally something he asked for on his own initiative. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to help the Hidden Fog Sect, he wouldn’t have done anything at all and thus wouldn’t have placed himself in his current situation.
As he thought, being a good person wasn’t easy.
But thinking about it again, even if Qin Yu didn’t do anything the Dark Parliament would have torn their agreement apart anyways. And he likely would have needed to resort to using the strength of the Ancient to protect himself eventually. The only difference was that the timeline had been pushed forward a little bit.
He secretly shook his head, suppressing these thoughts. It was meaningless to consider these things right now. No matter what the Ancient was scheming, the only thing Qin Yu could do was temporarily follow the script he had created for him.
However, even though the black wolf and this man from the northern border were strong, they could only temporarily stall him; it was impossible for them to kill him. There were likely more spectators biding their time in the shadows. Otherwise, with just these two alone, how could they dare to attack him?
As Qin Yu thought of this, a massive shadow appeared in the turbulent skies. It was so large that it seemed limitless. It covered everything up, making it appear as if an eternal night had arrived.
And within this darkness, Qin Yu could clearly feel a strength around him that was like boiling water. It gradually severed his contact with the outside, separating and isolating him.
This was an extremely terrifying occurrence.
A true peak powerhouse could quicken phenomena of the world with a thought. They could summon the strength of the heavens and earth to use for themselves and erupt with a terrifying strength just by raising a hand.
If their connection with the outside world was severed, that meant they could only use the strength within their body to attack. Not only did this mean a huge increase in the amount of their own strength they would have to use, but their attacks would be greatly weakened. It was the equivalent of cutting off a cultivator’s arm.
Qin Yu’s face darkened. From the black wolf that had attacked first, to the spear-wielding youth from the northern border, and now this strange black shadow that appeared, although they all erupted with formidable powers, none of them seemed to have much genuine desire to kill him.
Or to be more precise, all of these people had come to a prior agreement that they would restrain and impede him, constantly weakening his strength.
They were waiting for someone who could truly kill Qin Yu to appear. That person had to be waiting here, waiting for the turning point to kill him.
Qin Yu’s heart chilled, but he didn’t feel much dread. After all, regardless of what the Ancient’s final goal was, he wouldn’t want him to die. Since the Ancient had purposefully guided him into this situation, he had to have some way to resolve it too.
Suddenly, a new change occurred. From the deep darkness, light squeezed its way through. It illuminated the surroundings and spilled onto the ground, filling the atmosphere with warmth and peace.
A man appeared. His appearance was blurry and he was wrapped in holy light. Countless knuckle-sized holy spirits surrounded him, each one of them singing his praises and shouting out in joy.
With just a glance, Qin Yu could tell that this person wrapped in holy light was a powerhouse from the Western Tomb Divine Church. He was not Ji Xiangtian, but his aura was no weaker. Moreover, because of this person’s extreme faith, he could erupt with an even stronger power.
This was the Chief Judge, the head of the Western Tomb Divine Church’s Adjudication Division. He was the executioner who put anyone who blasphemed or committed heresy to death. It was said that even if someone fell into the depths of hell, this person wouldn’t allow them to be disrespectful.
At this moment, the Chief Judge attacked. He raised a hand. A great sun seemed to arrive as a terrifying aura of destruction wildly erupted. “All heretics must die.
“Judgment of Light!”
Bang –
A great sun appeared. It was like a true sun, one that released an incredibly hot scorching heat as it smashed into Qin Yu.
Looking at the Judgment of Light that howled his way, the holy light in Qin Yu’s body that was hidden beneath his blood started to stir and make trouble. As he thought how he was currently the Western Tomb Divine Church’s Saint Son, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
But a strange feeling was just that. Qin Yu didn’t believe that just because he had the power of the holy light within his body, he could create a scene here where the two sides turned swords into plowshares.
He feared that this crazy Chief Judge would think he was an even greater blasphemer and would desperately try to kill him.
Qin Yu lifted a hand and pointed out his third finger, the Blue Sea Finger!
