85: Fight against the ninth level of Soul Fire Realm, Feather Slashing Technique

Yu Junyuan knew that Senior Brother Mao was key to devouring Qin Ding's team, because he was the only Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator present; as long as he was dealt with, everything else would be easy.

After hearing Yu Junyuan's voice transmission, Senior Brother Mao's heart indeed stirred.

He was very clear about his current situation; under normal circumstances, one needed to reach Rebuilding Realm before the age of thirty to have the potential to impact the Saint Realm.

Remember, this only meant having the potential; it didn't mean one would definitely reach the Saint Realm. And in his situation, he didn't even have the potential to impact the Saint Realm, unless he encountered an extraordinary Opportunity.

Therefore, Yu Junyuan's words moved him quite a bit. An Immortal's Palace was not an Opportunity one could simply come across, and besides, even if such a ruin appeared, it usually wouldn't be his turn to get a share.

Seeing Senior Brother Mao somewhat moved, Yu Junyuan added fuel to the fire, saying, "Moreover, the Holy Son of the Qin Family definitely has many good things on him. How about everything on him goes to you, Senior Brother?"

With Yu Junyuan's words, Senior Brother Mao finally made up his mind, and a vast spiritual energy directly rippled out.

When the other Yuhua Sect Disciples saw this, they knew that both the Young Sect Master and Senior Brother Mao had made their decision, so the killing intent in their eyes grew even stronger.

"Be careful, all of you. Not a single one is allowed to escape. If one gets away, even if I don't trouble you, you know the consequences," Yu Junyuan's eyes revealed killing intent.

Chu Xiong, Li Xueer, and the others' expressions grew solemn as they gradually drew closer, their bodies emanating spiritual energy.

Li Xueer's strength had improved more than Chu Xiong's, having already stepped into the Soulfire Realm Seventh Level, though her Aura was unstable, clearly having just broken through.

"I'll stop that Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator. Everyone else, scatter and escape. As long as one person gets out, they can avenge us." Yu Yiwan's palm revealed a pearl, which was aquamarine and emitted a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.

At the same time, Yu Yiwan's body's spiritual energy fluctuations gradually spread out. Her Cultivation was much more profound than Li Xueer's, reaching the Soulfire Realm Seventh Level limit, subtly touching the threshold of the Soulfire Realm Eighth Level.

From her stance, she intended to hold back the Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator to buy time for the remaining people to escape.

"There's no need to think about escaping. Since the other party has made their decision, it's a fight to the death. Let me handle this Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator."

Qin Ding knew that although Yu Yiwan was not weak, she probably didn't have the ability to challenge a Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator by leaping two Realms.

Without waiting for the others' agreement, Qin Ding arrived in front of the Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator.

"A Soul Fire Realm Fourth Level Cultivator dares to challenge me, a Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator? Heh heh, interesting." Senior Brother Mao looked at Qin Ding with a playful gaze.

Qin Ding merely glanced at Senior Brother Mao with indifferent eyes and said, "You're not some Prodigy-level Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator; you're just an ordinary Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator."

Qin Ding's words touched Senior Brother Mao's sore spot, and the latter instantly became ferocious, with violent spiritual energy rippling out.

"I've killed Prodigies before, but I haven't killed a Prodigy from a Supreme Power like you." Senior Brother Mao licked the corner of his mouth, revealing a sickly expression.

The next instant, vast spiritual energy surged from his body. Only a spiritual energy attack powerful enough to destroy mountains, like lightning, shot directly towards Qin Ding.

Facing Senior Brother Mao's merciless attack, Qin Ding showed no intention of using any spiritual energy.

Boom.

Only the spiritual energy attack landed, spiritual energy raged, and dust swirled. Senior Brother Mao looked at Qin Ding's position and shook his head, thinking, are all Holy Sons of Supreme Powers like this? Simply ridiculous.

However, after the dust settled, Qin Ding's completely unharmed figure was revealed.

When this scene appeared, the smile on Senior Brother Mao's face gradually froze.

"Your Soulfire Realm Ninth Level strength isn't that great."

Qin Ding patted his clothes. Through the previous attack, he had roughly estimated Senior Brother Mao's strength, which he judged to be average for the Soulfire Realm Ninth Level.

"Actually, even if you didn't make a move, I would have kept you all here." Qin Ding looked at Senior Brother Mao, revealing a cold smile.

The next second, he stomped his foot on the ground. The floor, made of special material, actually showed subtle cracks under Qin Ding's foot. His body soared into the sky, his five fingers formed a fist, Divine Demon Marks covered his arm, and he punched out, striking through the air.

Before this punch even landed, space itself showed a sense of distortion, which showed how powerful this punch truly was.

Although Senior Brother Mao was shocked by the power of Qin Ding's punch, he thought of himself as a Soulfire Realm Ninth Level Cultivator and naturally couldn't retreat. Immediately, his spiritual energy also erupted, and he likewise threw a punch carrying rolling spiritual energy.

The moment the two fists collided, space twisted, and ripples spread out in circles.

Ah.

The next moment, a scream was heard. Senior Brother Mao's figure retreated, his arm in a twisted state, clearly having been forcibly broken like that.

This stunned everyone present; both the Yuhua Sect members and the Saintly Way Academy Cultivators were dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that in the first clash, Senior Brother Mao would be at a disadvantage?

"Your Physical Body..."

Senior Brother Mao looked at Qin Ding's Physical Body in shock. When they first made contact, he sensed the latter's Physical Body's formidable strength.

"So your reliance is on your strong Physical Body. But do you think that's enough to defeat me?"

Senior Brother Mao also said coldly.

Immediately, a vast green spiritual energy rippled from his body, and his previously bent arm actually snapped back into place with crackling sounds.

Clearly, he had Cultivated a healing Treasure Art.

"Next, I won't engage in close-quarters combat with you."

Senior Brother Mao retreated a distance, then roared, "Feather Slash Art!"

As Senior Brother Mao performed the opening stance of a Treasure Art, a majestic Aura of power rippled out the moment he raised his hand. Under that Aura, Chu Xiong, Li Xueer, and the others felt chills all over, feeling unable to resist.

At this moment, if they were to face Senior Brother Mao, even this Aura would be enough to crush them.

Senior Brother Mao's hands continuously formed seals, the hand seals numerous and profound. As he formed the seals, many feathers actually drifted down from the sky, each feather carrying extremely terrifying power.

Then, a smile appeared at the corner of Senior Brother Mao's mouth, and those many feathers actually gathered together, forming a goose-white plume.

This plume was goose-white, emitting an enchanting luster, but anyone could sense an extremely terrifying power contained beneath that enchanting luster.

Once that power erupted, even those at the same Realm of Soulfire Realm Ninth Level might not be able to withstand it.
