Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Evil Sword Immortal
On one side of the battle was the Moon Goddess.
On the other, an Immortal enveloped in a malevolent aura.
The aura emitted by this Immortal was not weak.
Facing the Moon Goddess, he actually held his own.
“Semi-Saint!”
Qin Changqing instantly made a judgment.
This was a Semi-Saint.
It seemed to be a Demon Immortal.
But, there was something different about this one compared to the many Demon Immortals Qin Changqing had seen before.
“Qing, be careful. This is an Evil Immortal. I’ll take him on; you get behind me,”
the Moon Goddess said while battling the Immortal.
Evil Immortal!
Goodness, this guy must be an evil cultivator who has become immortal!
Evil Immortals are different from Demon Immortals; these fellows cultivate very sinister techniques.
They are known as the heresy within heresies.
This Evil Sword Immortal’s weapon was a sword, a bloody one at that.
With these swords, he formed a terrifying Sword Array. The whole sky was filled with sword light.
Visually, these sword lights didn’t look much different from those of ordinary Immortals.
But in the clash with the Moon Goddess, every piece of sword light that was deflected could effortlessly slice open this Broken World.
The Moon Goddess’s weapon was the Moon Goddess Wheel, a crescent-shaped Immortal Artifact.
Their exchange further damaged this Broken World.
As a Semi-Saint, one can naturally control the power of their attacks.
But in a battle, if you control it and the other doesn’t, it makes no difference.
This Evil Sword Immortal certainly didn’t care that much.
To him, the Semi-Saint Moon Goddess was his prey.
“Having followed you for decades without you noticing, the Immortals of your Immortal Realm are nothing special,”
the Evil Sword Immortal jeered as he fought.
“This world has been sealed by him!”
Soon, Qin Changqing realized.
The Evil Sword Immortal had come prepared.
The opponent had sealed this world!
Not only had he sealed it, but his power was also extremely formidable.
Although the Moon Goddess was able to exchange blows with him, Qin Changqing always felt that the opponent must have some treacherous move or technique meant to harm others up his sleeve.
The opponent didn’t take Qin Changqing seriously either.
A mere Great Luo, even if he possessed Pseudo-Saint Power, was still no match for a true Semi-Saint after all.
Qin Changqing silently moved behind the Moon Goddess, looking like he was depending on her protection.
The Evil Sword Immortal’s attacks were relentless, giving the impression that the whole Broken World was about to disintegrate due to him.
After fighting the Moon Goddess for many days, there was still no victor.
The Broken World, however, had been battered beyond recognition.
At that moment, the Moon Goddess’s expression changed, sensing something.
“Ha, you fell for it. This poison, derived from an ancient corpse, took a full month to infect you. It’s not good for you to keep fighting like this. You’d be better off surrendering~”
the Evil Sword Immortal laughed loudly.
The complexion of the Moon Goddess changed again as she tried to expel the poison.
But how could the Evil Sword Immortal give her the opportunity.
“What of it if you’re one of the Nine Great Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm? You’re still no more than a loser under my hands!”
The Evil Immortal Sword kept verbally attacking the Moon Goddess.
Then, suddenly.
Qin Changqing, who was standing behind the Moon Goddess, abruptly made a move.
“A mere Great Luo.”
The Evil Sword Immortal didn’t even bother with Qin Changqing, not even using his sword to face him, simply flicking him away.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
The aura of Qin Changqing rose explosively; the whole world seemed to tremble on the verge of collapse due to his intervention.
As if the heavens and the earth could no longer bear the burden.
“Another Pseudo-Saint!”
The Evil Sword Immortal similarly paid no heed and flicked his finger again.
The Moon Goddess too sensed the change in Qin Changqing, and she had not expected that Qin Changqing would reach the peak of Great Luo so quickly!
And he had successfully harnessed the Pseudo-Saint Power!
She reacted swiftly, instantly unleashing her strongest strike.
The Evil Sword Immortal was quickly restrained.
Then,
Qin Changqing’s relentless attacks soon shattered the two flicks, with an overwhelming force arriving.
The Evil Sword Immortal’s gaze sharpened, and even while facing the Moon Goddess’s attack, he still activated a trump card.
It was a blood-colored longsword that, upon being sacrificed, caused half of the Broken World to collapse.
He had thought he could rest easy, but unexpectedly, Qin Changqing’s attack was so ferocious that it engulfed the blood-colored longsword in an instant.
The towering killing intent of the blood-colored longsword was completely dispersed under Qin Changqing’s onslaught.
From a sword that seemed capable of cleaving heavens and earth, it suddenly became plain and unremarkable.
Seeing that the situation had turned sour, the Evil Sword Immortal smeared his feet, ready to flee.
But Qin Changqing’s Six Harmonies Sword was already crazily assaulting him.
The Evil Sword Immortal had sealed off the world, trapping himself as well.
Breaking free was possible, but it required time, and now, he had no time left!
“Dammit!”
Two quarters of an hour later, at last, the Evil Sword Immortal opened the world’s seal and escaped.
By now, he had sustained no small injuries under the joint efforts of Qin Changqing and the Moon Goddess.
He had never imagined that Qin Changqing, merely a Great Luo, using Pseudo-Saint Power, could so overwhelm him, a seasoned Semi-Saint, leaving him with no means to fight back.
It was only because he had many trump cards that he did not end up dead or severely wounded in the face of the combined assault of the Moon Goddess and Qin Changqing.
“Qing, do not pursue,”
the voice of the Moon Goddess rang out.
Qin Changqing ceased his pursuit.
His combat strength was indeed formidable; even now, at the pinnacle of Great Luo and with the help of Pseudo-Saint Power, he could suppress his opponent, a veteran Semi-Saint with numerous methods at his disposal.
However, in a battle above Great Luo, without absolute advantage in strength, one inevitably cannot keep the opponent.
If a Quasi-Saint came, unless one made early preparations or had assistance, it would be difficult to keep an adversary, especially a determined-to-escape Semi-Saint.
Only a Saint, facing those below Saint level, would have a crushing advantage.
Qin Changqing noticed something amiss with the Moon Goddess’s demeanor.
She had been poisoned.
“Moon Goddess, how are you?”
Qin Changqing inquired.
“It’s nothing serious; good thing you took action. This bit of poison is no big deal,” the Moon Goddess said.
With her strength, ordinary poisons could be eradicated in a moment’s thought.
But the poison specially crafted by the Evil Sword Immortal to target peers of his level was not so simple.
This poison had a characteristic; it was of the spreading type, disseminated by the Evil Sword Immortal into that world, making it very hard to detect. Only after engaging in prolongated combat would one’s body unconsciously inhale it.
The more intense the battle, the more power the Moon Goddess used, the more opportunities the poison had to intensify and become more ferocious.
Dispelling it was not complicated, but the problem was, without Qin Changqing’s intervention, the Evil Sword Immortal wouldn’t give the Moon Goddess the time.
“Moon Goddess, enter my Mountain and River Map, and I’ll take you away from here.”
Qin Changqing took out a drawing of a Mountain and River Map.
“Alright.”
The Moon Goddess did not refuse and stepped into the Mountain and River Map.
Most of this world’s items had been already collected.
The entire world had been left in shambles by the previous combat.
All the items had been obtained by Qin Changqing and the Moon Goddess.
It was time to leave.
With a single step, Qin Changqing left that place.
However, not long after he had left, suddenly, a blood-colored Sword Light flashed across billions of miles to strike.
Qin Changqing snorted lightly, and the Six Harmonies Mirror activated, instantly blocking the Sword Light.
“Let’s see how many Dao sources you have; this Immortal will humor you,”
the Evil Sword Immortal’s sinister voice sounded.
This guy…he actually hadn’t fled!
Instead, he was lying in wait from afar, and as soon as Qin Changqing showed himself, he launched a sneak attack.
