Chapter 1750: Unexpected Encounter
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Infernal Abyss Emperor was almost sliced into two by Liu Qianhuan’s terrifying sword strike.
A devastating chill emanated from its gigantic wound. The chill was trying to spread outward and freeze its entire body.
The Infernal Abyss Emperor was stunned. However, when it heard Liu Qianhuan’s death threats, it felt a burst of extreme humiliation well up in its heart. It was truly embarrassing for the Infernal Abyss Emperor—a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Stage—to be wounded by a mere supreme being of the Return to Void Stage.
Meanwhile, Liu Qianhuan was already charging toward the Infernal Abyss Emperor again. As her formidable sword intent and astounding killing intent fused together, the power that erupted from her sword became even more terrifying and mighty.
“For f*ck’s sake! How can a cultivator of the Return to Void Stage unleash such a powerful sword strike?!” The Infernal Abyss Emperor’s expression changed drastically as it attempted to launch a counterattack. However, it discovered that its body had become sluggish due to the debilitating effects of the previous sword strike’s extreme cold. It was completely unable to defend against Liu Qianhuan’s second attack!
Liu Qianhuan was lightning quick, and she gave her opponent no opportunity to catch their breath. In the blink of an eye, her second attack had already arrived before her enemy.
Initially, she had planned to unleash these powerful techniques when she found the severely wounded Infernal Abyss Emperor.
Now, however, she clearly didn’t have the luxury to do that anymore. She could only pray that the Infernal Abyss Emperor was weaker than she expected, and pray that she would be able to kill her last enemy before she herself was killed!
With the God Engulfing Skeleton present, Liu Qianhuan knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave this Spirit Realm alive. Thus, right now, she had to draw on every last drop of her powers to kill her enemy!
In this instant, she fully unleashed her Ancient Sword Dao Physique without any consideration of the potential consequences.
At the same time, the blood and vital energy in her body also reached a boiling point.
As a result of her sacrifices, she was now in possession of a combat capability that was far beyond her ordinary level!
“Die!” Liu Qianhuan roared. At this moment, she was like a peerless sword immortal who had unleashed the most powerful sword strike in her life.
At this instant, her sword intent soared into the sky and pierced through the heavens.
Her sword dao domain proliferated throughout heaven and earth.
Within a radius of fifty kilometers, icy-cold snow drifted down toward the earth. It was as if the entire void had been plunged into an eternal state of frozen stillness.
With this immense strike, Liu Qianhuan wanted to end the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s life!
A look of terror spread across the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s face. It could feel a sense of fatal danger exuding from Liu Qianhuan’s Great Ice Sword. This Return to Void Stage cultivator genuinely wanted to kill it! And she genuinely possessed the ability to kill it!
Liu Qianhuan slashed her Great Ice Sword toward the Infernal Abyss Emperor in fury. The Infernal Abyss Emperor hastily raised its tentacles to block this strike. However, its tentacles, which were extremely rich in soul power, were immediately torn to shreds by the devastating might of Liu Qianhuan’s sword intent.
Liu Qianhuan had put everything into this sword strike, and in terms of power, it had already reached the Dao Integration Stage.
The Great Ice Sword radiated with an immense might, and it was just about to rip the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s body to shreds.
Right at this moment, however, a blood-red scythe suddenly flashed before the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s body.
The being who had spatial skipped over was none other than the God Engulfing Skeleton!
There was a deafening clang as the blood-red scythe collided with the immensely powerful sword strike.
The void within a radius of fifty kilometers tremored violently. Immediately afterward, the energy shockwaves of the powerful collision erupted out into the surroundings. In the center of the collision, it appeared as if there was a blue light orb furiously battling it out with a red light orb. The deadly sword intent, which seeped out from this battle, obliterated the earth, and the blood-red scythe intent, which exuded from this battle, dyed the sky crimson-red in color.
Beings who were unfamiliar with the battling pair all thought that this was a life-and-death battle between two super-mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage.
The overwhelming sword intent forced the God Engulfing Skeleton back hundreds of meters.
At the same time, however, Liu Qianhuan also spat blood and stumbled backward. In fact, she was almost unable to maintain her balance.
“I’m already at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage… Who would’ve thought that I’d be forced back by a sword strike from a youth who is at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage?” There was an astonished expression on the God Engulfing Skeleton’s face. Although it wasn’t injured, the might of Liu Qianhuan’s sword strike had already far exceeded its expectations.
The Infernal Abyss Emperor also felt a sense of lingering fear in its heart. If that attack had struck its body, then it would’ve been severely wounded or perhaps even killed!
“However, you’re still too young and impatient. With such extraordinary talents, your chance of successfully avenging your mother would’ve increased dramatically had you cultivated to a higher rank.” The look of contempt had already disappeared from the God Engulfing Skeleton’s face. “It’s a pity that you’re going to die by my hands today… Bahahaha! Slaying a supremely talented sword immortal with my own hands… This is what excites me the most!”
As it said this, the God Engulfing Skeleton swung its blood-red scythe again.
It appeared as if even the sky were going to be sliced into two as a dazzling radiance erupted from the blade of the scythe.
Liu Qianhuan, who had almost no energy left already, feebly raised her sword to parry. However, this was all to no avail, and she was brutally smashed into the ground by the boundless divine might of the blood-red scythe. The force of her collision caused a gigantic crater to form in the ground.
“I was so close… Why does it have to end like this…?” Tears of grief and despair welled up in her eyes as she lay in the gigantic crater.
If the God Engulfing Skeleton hadn’t interfered, she genuinely had a chance to kill the Infernal Abyss Emperor by taking advantage of its underestimation of her. However, the heavens were not on her side.
It was clearly she who was challenging an enemy of a higher rank; it was clearly she who was in a position of absolute disadvantage… Yet standing behind her enemy who possessed all the advantages, there was actually a being who was even more powerful and terrifying! Fate had truly played a cruel joke on her…
Liu Qianhuan gripped her Great Ice Sword tightly as she lay in a fetal position on the ground. Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her pink-blue sailor skirt had already been sliced open down the middle. The blood from her wounds dyed her clothes a vivid red.
Even standing back up would be extremely difficult for her.
Am I going to die here after all?
She wasn’t afraid of death. She was merely disappointed that she wasn’t able to fully avenge her mother’s death.
“Let me kill this f*cking b*tch!” the Infernal Abyss Emperor sneered coldly. “This b*tch actually dared to wound me… I’m going to extract her divine sense and make her suffer the most excruciating tortures! Then, I’ll kill her, slowly and painfully.”
Its body—which had been torn open by the Great Ice Sword—had already fully recovered. However, the expression on its face was even frostier than before. Countless writhing tentacles transformed into swords, sabers, and spears as they shot toward the defenseless female who lay collapsed in the crater.
“Fufufu… This strike of mine doesn’t affect the physical body; it only obliterates one’s divine sense. After all, I still need to use your body to refine a soul puppet. Now, I’ll let you taste the feeling of extreme agony!”
Pitch-black tentacle blades rained down from the sky and stabbed toward the female who was curled up in the crater.
There was a bitter smile on Liu Qianhuan’s face as she glanced at the pitch-black blades that were raining down toward her. Her feelings at this moment were indescribable. There was a sense of vexation, yet this feeling gradually shifted to one of melancholy and a reluctance to leave this world.
Right at this moment, however, a white figure suddenly appeared before her. They stood there silently, and their white robe fluttered elegantly in the wind.
Everything in the surroundings fell silent at this instant.
Faced with the terrifying rain of pitch-black blades, the male swung his sword lightly. Then, just like that, a white sword projection annihilated all of the soul power attacks. In fact, even the powerful Infernal Abyss Emperor was struck and sent reeling back in pain.
“Who dares to attack my Little Huan?” The male’s charming voice echoed around the void.
He stood before the female’s body like an unmovable mountain as he glared at the two nearby Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings.
Liu Qianhuan was dazed as she stared at the familiar figure who stood before her. She felt a sense of disbelief, yet the rims of her eyes had already reddened involuntarily.
She opened her mouth to speak, yet the words that were lodged in her throat wouldn’t come out no matter what.
Eventually, however, she still managed to utter that one word, which she hadn’t said for many years.
“Father…”
