Chapter 5: A Thunderclap on a Clear Day (Part 2)
Lian Yan glanced at Yi Qingyu, and his eyes emitted an unprecedented light. If Qin Yu were here, he would definitely be surprised. Because Lian Yan was usually very calm, even in the Yunwu Mountain Villa, he mostly sat quietly, rarely getting excited, especially not as agitated as he was now.
"Soft words, do you still remember 160 years ago?" Lian Yan smiled and said.
Yi Qingyu's expression sank slightly as he thought for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Lian Yan, do you still remember that battle 160 years ago? However, at that time you were really too weak, and couldn't even protect your own daughter and wife. Fortunately, the people from Zhen Dong Wang arrived in the end, or else you would have lost your life. This time, you won't be able to escape."
Reach the congenital boundary, and the lifespan can reach 500 years. These two people, Yiqing Yu and Lianyan, are both alive for hundreds of years and have reached the congenital great perfection realm. However, they have not yet encountered the 49th Heaven Tribulation. Some people reach the congenital great perfection in one day and encounter the 49th Heaven Tribulation, while others reach the congenital great perfection but do not encounter the 49th Heaven Tribulation even until old age and death. This is to look at enlightenment, and it cannot be forced to come.
"Run, why run? After waiting for over a hundred years, it's all been for this day." Lian Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce glint, "You've killed everyone else, and left me to deal with you easily."
"Yes!" The two men in black bowed and said.
Lian Yan's gaze was fixed on Yi Qingyu, a surge of overwhelming momentum pressing down on Yi Qingyu, the atmosphere was overbearing and sharp. The knife at Lian Yan's waist also began to tremble. Yi Qingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, then she stretched out her slender fingers, smiling in welcome at Lian Yan.
The two confronted each other, but neither made the first move.
Innate perfection, if not possessing a heaven-defying treasure or an ultimate divine technique, would take at least over a hundred years to achieve. Unless one has a top-tier cultivation method like the "Ancestral Dragon Scripture" or obtains some heaven-defying treasures from the Primordial Chaos, it's possible to reach this realm within several decades.
"Ah!"
Cries of agony rose, the sounds of slaughter unceasing. Two black-robed old men charged towards Yifeng and the other seven, limbs flying everywhere, fresh blood splattering all over the ground. The two black-robed old men also suffered some injuries, but under the siege of the seven, they managed to kill one person and cripple another.
Yi Qingyu and Lianyan didn't even look at those few people.
"Clang!"
The war knife at Lian Yan's waist suddenly emerged from its scabbard, a flash of sharp blade light instantly unfolded, and in an instant, it had already reached the front of Yi Qingyu's body, cutting through Yi Qingyu's torso. And Lian Yan stretched out his hand to grab the war knife, his figure like lightning, following the blade light also rushed towards Yi Qingyu to kill him.
The sword flashes by, and the figures scatter.
The dagger flashed across Yiqingyu's body, and Yiqingyu's figure transformed into nothingness.
"Ah!" A black-clad old man suddenly let out a mournful cry, and a small hole appeared in the center of his brow. He was then torn to shreds by Yi Feng and others. Yi Qingyu's figure appeared on the other side, with Cheng Lanhua's fingers lightly pinching an embroidery needle.
"Consecutively, you should know that my speed is the fastest, right? How can you use such a move?" Yi Qingyu said with a slight wave of his sleeve. Suddenly, his face changed because he found that Lianyan had disappeared, and immediately Yi Qingyu closed his eyes.
Yi Qing's body flashed and suddenly disappeared, at the same time a burst of clashing metal sounds rang out, and the two figures reappeared in front of everyone, but in an instant, the two figures vanished again...
"Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!"...
Only a series of collisions could be heard, and the two had reached their limits in speed, with human eyes unable to see clearly due to physiological functions.
"Hahaha... refreshing, refreshing!" Lian Yan's loud laughter suddenly rang out, filled with an overbearing and heroic aura.
"Unexpectedly, you really have some skills." Yi Qingyu's slightly effeminate voice also rang out, the blood flowers scattered in the sky, but the two figures were extremely fast, and others couldn't see them clearly at all. Suddenly—
Two figures emerged and stood facing each other.
A small hole appeared on Lian Yan's chest, and fresh blood flowed out. Yi Qingyu was also not as carefree as he used to be, his hair was disheveled, and there was a clear knife wound on his abdomen, with fresh blood gushing out.
"Haha......" Lian Yan suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "The flowers bloom and wither, spring comes and autumn goes, how many years have passed? I, Lian Yan, have been waiting for this day. When Lei died in my arms, I had lost all interest in life, there was no feeling left, what was the point of living on? Money, power, I didn't care about any of it. When Lei died, I lived on only to recall the past, and also... to kill you. But for so many years, you have been hiding deep within the Dragon Army's lair, this time..."
His eyes were fixed on Yiqingyu: "It's the heavens helping me, I've finally found you, haha, Yiqingyu, come on, let's have a fierce battle!"
A dazzling golden light burst forth from Lianyan's body, and afterwards, Lianyan himself seemed like a blinding golden sun. On the surface of his body, there was also a layer of tough protective aura, with an aura that far surpassed Zhen Xu's at the time.
Yi Qingyu felt the overbearing aura and momentum of Lian Yan's words, and slightly furrowed her brow.
"You're quite persistent for an old man." Yi Qingyu said impatiently, as silver-black light began to emanate from her body. Her hair floated up, each strand shimmering with sharp light, but the embroidery needle in her hand was unremarkable.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion suddenly occurred, with Yi Qingyu's words as the center, and the air within a range of ten meters was blown open.
The only black-robed old man left beside him faced the siege of the four people led by Yifeng. When he killed one of them just now, he was already seriously injured. These four were all in the middle stage of Xiantian, and although he was in the later stage of Xiantian, he had been seriously injured after all. One person killing four was indeed difficult.
Suddenly——
A series of explosions came, the entire courtyard floor was blown up, dust flying everywhere, and the violent force made it impossible for Yi Feng and the four others, as well as the black-robed old man, to do anything but retreat to the side and temporarily stop fighting. They all looked at the center of the courtyard.
"A thousand arrows piercing the heart!"
Yi Qingyu's sharp voice rang out, and the silver hair on her head transformed into sharp arrows that shot straight at Lianyan. Yi Qingyu's face showed a hint of arrogance, as if she wanted to make every single strand of silver hair strong enough to break through Lianyan's protective aura, which was impossible.
His true killer move is... the embroidery needle hidden in his silver hair.
Pong!
Lian Yan's battle knife chopped down, but Yi Qianyu's long hair wrapped around the knife, and Lian Yan couldn't chop it down anymore. At the same time, tens of millions of hairs shot out like sharp arrows, piercing Lian Yan's entire body, and among them, ten hidden embroidery needles also carried a shocking aura, hiding in the hairs and attacking.
Lian Yan found that embroidery needle, but he didn't hide because he didn't want to hide anymore. After avenging his enemy, living was also a kind of spiritual exhaustion for him.
Hahaha...
He suddenly looked up at the sky and burst out laughing, his laughter shaking the heavens.
"Ah!"
A shrill cry, Yi Qingyu's head flew into the air, his eyes wide with incredulity, and his hair was also severed. Yi Qingyu's head rolled to the ground, covered in dust, and onlookers like Yi Feng were stunned.
His chest and abdomen also appeared with ten holes, the ten embroidery needles all pierced his body, but he smiled. At this moment, there was a dark red battle knife in his hand.
This battle knife was a mid-grade spiritual artifact forged from the intense heat of molten iron within the stone. Lianyan had kept it hidden inside his body all along. At first, Lianyan used his old weapon, but at the most critical moment, he suddenly pulled out this mid-grade spiritual artifact and with one slash, cut off Yiqingyu's silver hair and beheaded her.
The speed of Yiqingyu was extremely fast. If he had known earlier that Lianyan had such a powerful sword, he would have escaped long ago.
……
Sitting on the back of a black eagle, soaring above the nine heavens, Qin Yu is extremely exhilarated.
"What a strong aura. Xiao Hei, stop!" Qin Yu clearly felt a strong and terrifying aura below, although the distance from high altitude to ground was very far, but that aura was too strong, ordinary innate masters could sense it, and Qin Yu's senses were so sensitive, naturally perceiving it.
"It's Lian Grandfather's aura." Qin Yu carefully distinguished and found out.
"Little Black, go down!" Qin Yu said without hesitation. The black eagle immediately dived downwards and in just a moment, Qin Yu saw the small courtyard from high above. At this moment, Lian Yan had already beheaded Yi Qingyu with one slash of his sword.
"Hahaha..." He laughed loudly towards the sky, but tears still flowed down his face.
Qin Yu's eyes landed on Lian Yan's chest, where one hole after another appeared, pierced by ten embroidered needles. Qin Yu was well-versed in medicine and immediately judged that these holes were located at critical points on the human body. Looking at the holes, Qin Yu suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning on a clear day, and his whole person was stunned.
