Chapter 260: The End of Count Sailei and Wanning's Awakening
Yu Qingtan sneered, employing the Five Elements Qiankun Escape merged with the Blood Escape Technique, moving three times faster than Housai Lei.
Arriving a hundred yards behind Housai Lei, Yu Qingtan spoke for the first time.
"Freeze!"
The figure of Housai Lei abruptly halted, pausing for an instant.
However, that single instant decided its end.
"Puff puff puff~"
Dozens of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light beams struck Housai Lei, riddling it with holes.
Its brain and inner core, among other vital areas, were even given special attention, hit by several beams of Extinction Divine Light.
Housai Lei fell directly.
Lately, Qing Shuang and Yu Qingtan had been delving into the Stabilizing Spirit Spell whenever they had the chance, finally perfecting it. After all, the transformation of the Five Elements Primordial Immortal Body wasn't limited to physical qualities; Yu Qingtan felt a significant improvement in his own comprehension skills as well.
Moreover, the Stabilizing Spirit Spell was only a Second-Stage Dao Technique. But with Yu Qingtan's power surpassing that of ordinary Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators, even using the Stabilizing Spirit Spell on the Third-Stage Late Housai Lei had some effect, freezing it for a moment.
That was enough.
Qing Shuang had already started to comprehend the Third-Stage Dao Technique, Stabilizing Spirit Spell. After all, this series of spells was too useful, almost a nemesis to things like Golden Core self-destruction or Nascent Soul self-destruction.
Yu Qingtan flashed to the side of Housai Lei's body, which was still propelled by inertia, took out its damaged inner core, removed the storage ring from its claw, and collected its body.
Then, he prepared to go back and slaughter the monkey-faced eagle clan in passing.
As for the Six-Eared Demon Venerate, with the overall power of the human race in the Southeast Region, and her backing from Wendao Sect, she feared nothing.
"Chirp~ You gutsy human girl, daring to slay a Heavenly Demon of my demon race here, die!"
Just then, a sky-shaking and cloud-severing eagle's shriek broke out, followed by a string of fluent human language, accompanied by a dozen black eagle feathers.
"Fourth-Grade Demon King!"
Yu Qingtan's expression became serious, and she sent a hundred beams of Extinction Divine Light toward the incoming eagle feathers.
The eagle feathers were obliterated.
As she blocked the attack of the eagle feathers, a giant white-headed eagle with a wingspan of fifty yards appeared in Yu Qingtan's sight.
The white-headed eagle was a huge Demonic Beast clan of the Yunhua Mountain Range, with a Fifth-Stage Demon Venerable in the clan, possessing a vast range of activity.
This white-headed eagle, judging by its aura, was already close to the middle of the Fourth-Stage.
As previously mentioned, the higher the rank in the demon and sea clans, the smaller the gap with the human race. And white-headed eagles were amongst the stronger clans.
A Fourth-Stage Middle white-headed eagle was completely capable of matching the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same stage from Wendao Sect.
In short, Yu Qingtan was outmatched right now.
"So it's Yu Qingtan of Wendao Sect. Since you dare come here, stay here then! Remember, the one who killed you is Bai Deng, the Demon King of Janni Peak!"
Saying this, a giant claw phantom with terrifying oppressive force clawed towards where Yu Qingtan stood.
Since she was outmatched and had already achieved the main goal of killing Housai Lei, Yu Qingtan had no desire to entangle any further and directly used the Dao Technique, Bleeding Thousand Miles.
Yu Qingtan broke free from the oppressive force of the claw and vanished on the spot.
Bai Deng paused, quickly chasing after Yu Qingtan's aura.
But two breaths later, it gave up, having lost its target.
Yu Qingtan continuously cast Bleeding Thousand Miles over a dozen times, directly leaving the range of the Yunhua Mountain Range, then dove underground, traveling with the Five Elements Qiankun Escape.
Their destination was none other than the Wendao Immortal City.
...
Let's rewind to a month ago, in the Wendao Sect, within the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, inside Qing Shuang's cultivation room.
Shen Wanning, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up.
With the energy of the Three Lights Divine Water, Shen Wanning's cultivation level had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Upon opening her eyes, Shen Wanning saw the smiling face of Yu Qingtan.
Shen Wanning startled, surveyed the surrounding environment, felt even more shocked, and was about to speak when Yu Qingtan quickly explained, "Wanning, don't worry, this is my cultivation room at the Wendao Sect. The Soul Constraint that the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel placed on you has been removed. You're safe now!"
"Is that true?" Shen Wanning still couldn't dare to believe it.
"Of course, it's true. I've rescued you more than ten days ago. If the Soul Constraint were still there, how could you have survived! I told you I would save you very soon, haven't I done as I said?" Yu Qingtan said with a teasing smile.
Without saying another word, Shen Wanning rose and threw herself into Yu Qingtan's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.
In the two years, Shen Wanning's body had grown somewhat, though not as much as Yu Qingtan's, but she was still an inch taller than Yu Qingtan and her bosom remained considerably broader.
At that moment, however, she wept like a child without end.
Yu Qingtan stroked Shen Wanning's back with a heart full of pity, allowing her to vent her pent-up emotions.
After crying heavily for the period it would take two incense sticks to burn, Shen Wanning finally stopped, though she still clung to Yu Qingtan's embrace.
"Qingtan, thank you!"
"You're my close girlfriend, my most important friend. There's no need for thanks between us!"
"It's necessary!"
"Alright then, a tear-stained face isn't pretty!" Yu Qingtan helped Shen Wanning up and cast the Purification Spell on them both.
"Anyway, I'm not as good-looking as you! Have you practiced some sort of cultivation technique that made you prettier?" Shen Wanning finally showed a smile and said. Stay updated through empire
"Hehe, Ice Skin Jade Bone Art, a body refining technique. Are you interested?"
"Uh, I think I'll pass!" Shen Wanning was somewhat aware of the hardships endured in practicing body refining techniques. Besides, she was already beautiful enough, so she decided not to trouble herself.
"Qingtan, how did you rescue me?" Shen Wanning asked with curiosity.
Previously, when Yu Qingtan was able to sneak into the Disaster Crossing Peak, Shen Wanning had been quite curious about Yu Qingtan's methods. However, during her time on the peak, their meetings had been brief, just exchanging a few words, so Shen Wanning hadn't asked.
"That's a long story! To celebrate your escape from the cage, I'm treating you to a big meal! We shall eat and talk at the same time!" Yu Qingtan said and then began to take out a variety of ingredients and seasonings.
Yu Qingtan planned a feast of hotpot and barbecue, enjoying both simultaneously.
Shen Wanning observed the various high-grade ingredients and the many spices she had never seen before that Yu Qingtan pulled out, and couldn't help the urge to cry again. These past two years, she had been forced to cultivate incessantly: during her Qi Cultivation Stage, she took fasting pills, and after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she simply had no food to eat at all.
The bitterness of those years, perhaps only Yu Qingtan could somewhat understand.
Soon, Yu Qingtan had everything prepared and began to feast on the big meal with Shen Wanning.
After just one bite, Shen Wanning's tears once again could not be held back and began to flow.
"It tastes so good!"
"How could it not be tasty? This is third-grade mantis shrimp and third-grade bun crab meat that I've saved specially for you, hunted by myself." Yu Qingtan said proudly.
"Qingtan, you're wonderful! Why can't I be a man? No, that's wrong; a woman isn't out of the question either."
"Stop! Wanning, my heart is set on the Dao!"
"Oh!" Fortunately, Shen Wanning was just joking; she wasn't into girls either.
