Chapter Fourteen A Secret

  It was almost at the moment when Xingyun Gongzi appeared that Wang Qian had a feeling, although the battlefield of Qingxue Guan was vast, but both sides were some acquired realm warriors, and Xingyun Gongzi, this congenital late-stage expert, seemed to be a spark falling into an oil pan, too obvious. For Wang Qian, who was already at the peak of the foundation period in the spiritual realm and almost broke through to the later stage of the foundation period, one ten-thousandth of a second was enough to trigger his reaction.

  He suddenly turned around, and five meters in front of him stood a handsome young man, wearing a white shirt with clouds and stars swirling on it, shining brightly. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person, and his temperament was even more prominent. His eyes looked down at Wang Qian, as if looking at a plaything.

  "Huh? Who are you? The Snowy Night Empire still has an expert like you?"

  Wang Gan's mind was filled with doubts for a moment, and he directly asked it out. To him, this Xing Yun Gongzi was indeed quite capable, but with his brute strength, holding the large halberd and wildly smashing and striking, he could take down this person, so why would he be taken seriously?

  "Hmph, ignorance, the Snow Night Empire is nothing but a backyard for my Falling Star Sect. Since you asked, let me make it clear to you before you die: I am an inner disciple of the Falling Star Sect. You are just a mortal, although you have some brute strength and have killed many soldiers, but that's as far as you'll go!"

  Xingyun Gongzi let out a cold laugh, and the light in his eyes was as cold as ice, with a hint of murderous intent. Wang Qian could see that this person was also an expert in the Xiantian realm, and had taken many lives, and now had killing intentions towards him.

  Xingyun Gongzi indeed didn't put Wang Qian in his eyes, as a cultivator, he came to the Snow Night Empire this time just because there was an opportunity that he wanted to seize, but the timing wasn't right so he stayed at Qingxue Pass for now. Now being asked by Qin Mu to come over, killing an ordinary person was almost like killing a chicken.

  Unfortunately, in Wang Qian's eyes, he was no different from a chicken or duck. With full force explosion, it was also the result of being easily killed with a casual hand.

  Before his words had fallen, Xingyun Gongzi had already made his move. His jade-like white palm shot out with a loud crash, like gold and jade, with aura surging like the tide, changing unpredictably.

  "Mortal little one, if you can die under my Falling Star Unbounded Palm, it would be a worthy death!"

  A long laugh, Xingyun Gongzi's body changed and transformed, the pre-heavenly true yuan surged and churned like a starry river, mysterious and turbulent. The battlefield within a hundred feet was cleared, regardless of whether it was the Snow Night Empire or the Zhao Wu Empire, all were crushed into powder by the violent falling star true yuan.

  "You think you're just an ordinary person? Haha, Fallen Star Young Master, I suppose you also don't know the true strength of Wang Qian, that's why you're being so arrogant? But arrogant people always die faster, what's this nonsense about the Unparalleled Fist of the Fallen Stars? Let me crush it all!"

  At this moment, Wang Qian finally revealed his terrifying power after cultivating the Nine Turns Body Refining Technique.

  Buzz!

  Space trembled, yuan energy exploded. In the instant when Xingyun Gongzi's palm struck, the blue shirt that Wang Qian was originally wearing on his body instantly turned into nothingness, becoming the smallest fragments, scattered on the battlefield. A vast and ancient, invincible aura burst out in an instant. His bare upper body emitted a fierce and overbearing air, with faint cyan-colored gas swirling around him.

  This is the manifestation of him bringing the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique to its extreme, with Xingyun's current strength, he can already bring out his strongest power now.

  Under the fierce momentum, Wang Qian's bloody halberd turned into a black dragon, with a thread of killing intent that swept across the battlefield, filling the entire scene with an overwhelming aura.

  Bang! Bang!

  In an instant, countless loud crashing sounds erupted, the surrounding soldiers and generals all held their breath, not even daring to breathe, as pair after pair of eyes stared fixedly at the chaotic center of the battlefield.

  "What?"

  Xingyun Gongzi's face, which had always been expressionless, had disappeared and was replaced by an unprecedented look of horror and terror, as if he had seen the most unthinkable thing.

  In fact, the moves Wang Qian used can be said to be extremely clumsy and completely like a rough man's behavior, but in Xing Yun Gongzi's eyes, it was completely different.

  There is a way to wield a heavy sword without a blade, and great skill is not craftsmanship. When Wang Qian slashed down with this spear, it was as if the ancient gods were opening up the sky, shattering chaos, and completely breaking through all laws with one stroke. Under this one slash, all the glittering stars, infinite star clouds, everything shattered. The fierce wind howled, and the intense aura pressed down on Xingyun Gongzi's eyes, almost unable to open them. His arm, filled with innate true yuan, was instantly severed at the shoulder, and bright red blood flowed continuously.

  At this moment, Xingyun Gongzi's heart was filled with fear, and his pupils were scattered.

  "How is this possible? He's just an ordinary person, doesn't even have a congenital true yuan, absolutely not a congenital master, could he be a foundation-building cultivator? No way, absolutely impossible, would a senior cultivator in the foundation-building stage be so bored as to toy with me?"

  He was terrified, disheveled, and countless thoughts burst forth in his mind in an instant. He had never discovered that his soul could be so powerful, with so many thoughts emerging in such a short moment, yet he still hadn't collapsed or died.

  Don't say it's Xingyun Gongzi, even if it's just an ordinary innate expert. If he is almost defeated in one move by someone who doesn't even have innate true yuan, his heart will also be frantic, doubting and going crazy.

  Splash!

  A sharp blade halted three inches above Starcloud Young Master's head.

  From life to death, and from death back to life, this feeling almost made Xing Yun's heart burst.

  "Who are you, after all? What do you want?"

  A dry voice sounded, and even Xing Yun Gongzi himself almost thought it was someone else's voice.

  Wang Qian shook his head secretly, this result he had already expected, no one understood better than him how terrifying the full-force explosion of the Nine Turns Body Refining Technique was. Even though he had only cultivated to the third layer of the Bone Tempering Realm in the first turn, this ancient technique had fully revealed its terror. According to his estimation, his current strength, even without transforming into a zombie and unsealing the seal, would be top-notch in the Xiantian realm. If it weren't for cultivating a profound special technique, ordinary Xiantian cultivators wouldn't be his match. The Star Cloud Young Master before him, although having thick true yuan like a billion starry rivers, dazzling to the eyes, was still not comparable to him, and there was a huge gap between them. It could be said that the ancient technique he cultivated could completely be used for cross-level challenges.

  "Who am I? You don't even know, so let's talk about yourself instead. How do you want to die? Just now you had the intention of killing me, but now the situation has reversed, and killing you is as easy as killing a chicken!"

  Wang Qian has been honing his martial arts skills in the Zhao Wu Empire's army for some time now, and his hands are stained with countless lives. He has completely transformed from an ordinary young man into a ruthless and decisive killer, and all notions of morality and law have become meaningless to him.

  Xing Yun Gongzi looked at the pair of eyes that were close to him, exuding a strong murderous aura, and completely believed Wang Qian's words. He had no choice, his life was in the hands of the person in front of him, and he felt terrified.

  No one wants to die, as an inner disciple of the Luoxing Sect, he still has a bright future ahead of him, and even one day, living forever and having eternal life is possible, how can he think of dying now.

  "Wang Qian, don't kill me! I can tell you a secret. This time I came down the mountain just for this secret. If you kill me, you'll miss out on a great opportunity!"

  Xing Yun Gongzi has become unscrupulous, in order to survive, he revealed the biggest secret on his body, just to let Wang Qian spare his life.

  At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to take revenge.

  "Hmph, I'll tell the secret to this Wang Qian and have him swear an oath to Heaven's Way. Once I escape, he'll immediately return to the sect and gather our fellow disciples who are on good terms with me. At that time, as soon as he dies, this secret will be known only to me!"

  He's been around for years, but unfortunately, Wang Qian, although young and new to this world, had lived a past life on Earth. Although he was just an insignificant person, under the information explosion, he had unknowingly seen countless conspiracies and tricks. This Star Cloud Young Master may look sincere, but how could he easily believe?

  "Xing Yun young master, your life is very precious, I hope you don't deceive me, otherwise, I will make you experience all the hardships in the world, unable to live or die!"

  Wang Gan let out a cold laugh and didn't say another word, directly grabbing Xing Yun Gongzi like a dead dog, his footsteps flashing as he vanished in the blink of an eye onto the battlefield of Qingxue Pass.

  In the midst of a dense forest, amidst numerous waterfalls and flying streams, a fierce gust of wind howled, and two figures fell from above.

  It was indeed Wang Qian and Xingyun Gongzi, the two of them.

  "Alright, now you can speak up. Don't harbor any illusions. Are you thinking that I'll spare your life first, and then you'll go back and gather reinforcements to kill me? Ha! Such petty tricks won't deceive me! I advise you to honestly reveal that secret, perhaps your fate will be slightly better!"

  They are now in a place where there is no human habitation within hundreds of miles, and with Wang Qian's foundation-building middle period soul repair, he searched through it in an instant, so he already has complete confidence that this Xingyun young master will not stir up any waves.

  "You, you..."

  Xingyun Gongzi's face turned pale, he had never thought that his own foolproof plan would have no effect on Wang Qian.

  Wang Qian's meaning is very clear, I just want to kill you and also the secrets on your body, there is no room for negotiation, the difference lies only in how one dies.

  Growing up in the Xiu Zhen realm, Star Cloud Young Master knew many cruel punishments. One by one, he executed them, absolutely capable of making a person's mind collapse, their soul dispersing, and suffering miserably.

  Wang Qian was somewhat interested in that secret, but it wasn't as if he had to know. Seeing Xing Yun still hesitating, he sneered and suddenly lifted the seal on himself.

  A dark and eerie aura swirled around, and the Wang Qian who appeared in front of Xing Yun Gongzi had completely transformed. He wore a black python robe, his breath was icy cold, as if he had descended from the underworld, his eyes gleamed with red light, and sharp fangs like hooks gradually revealed themselves at the corners of his mouth.

  "This, this is... a zombie! You're the zombie that appeared in the Nether Mountains! That's right, it must be so! You killed the Tianyuan Sect's disciple, you're dead for sure. Even if I die, you won't live much longer! Haha!"

  Xing Yun Gongzi's pale face was filled with wretched smiles, he now completely understood Wang Qian's true nature, and also knew that since he had already seen the appearance of zombies, it was absolutely impossible to escape, after a wave of despair in his heart, there was only extreme madness.

  "Then go die!"

  Wang Qian let out a cold laugh, his hand transformed into claws that pierced through Xingyun Gongzi's chest. Streams of life energy were absorbed by him, and in the blink of an eye, Xingyun Gongzi had already turned into a pair of white bones.

  After closing his eyes for a long time, Wang Gan's whole body was filled with surging energy. The essence of a pre-heavenly post-natal cultivator had already been refined and absorbed by him, and the undying true yuan inside his body had also made some progress.

  He flipped his sleeves and transformed again, still wearing a green robe, with skin like ancient bronze, restoring his human form.

  "So it was..."

  He let out a sigh, and Wang Qian's figure was like the wind, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye. As for Xing Yun Gongzi's pile of white bones, they were also turned to dust by his casual palm strike as he left, drifting away with the wind.
