Chapter 441 - 281: Half-Step Grandmaster
Three enormous white eagles circled above Yangzhou Prefecture.
Their wings spanned several zhang long, as large as a house, making them extraordinary birds among eagles.
Qin Yuesheng possessed the Biluo Eye, naturally offering him a broad view, and instantly he saw the graceful figure standing on the back of one of the white eagles.
The other party was in a white robe fluttering in the wind, wearing a white five-Buddha crown, with a sword box on her back, in which seven swords were inserted.
Qin Yuesheng frowned; this woman’s attire was exactly like that of the White Saintess from the other day, except that the woman before him was taller.
"White Lotus Saint Sect..." Qin Yuesheng waved, signaling Cao Zhengchun to retreat aside and find a safe place to hide.
The momentum in a battle of such strength was long beyond what an external martial artist like Cao Zhengchun could withstand.
Whish!
Bai Ningxuan leapt, her whole person instantly jumping off the back of the white eagle.
White Lotus Sword Array.
The sword box behind her trembled slightly, and swords shot out in an instant, plunging down from various positions in the sky.
This was an immediate display of kill moves.
The tips of numerous swords blossomed with a white lotus, and momentarily, the sky bloomed with lotus flowers, enveloping the ground.
Qin Yuesheng reached for the Celestial Fire Divine Saber and the Taigu Divine Dread Double-Bladed Fork, which he had stuck in the ground nearby, and immediately countered with a masterful strike.
One slash of fiery saber energy, one arc of icy fork shadow, directly clashing against those lotus swords in the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A great number of swords spun and flew back, yet could not withstand the might of the Celestial Fire Divine Saber and the Taigu Divine Dread Double-Bladed Fork.
However, what Qin Yuesheng did not expect was that these lotus swords suddenly gathered rapidly, merging into one, eventually forming a gigantic white lotus.
Pressing down towards Qin Yuesheng.
This enormous white lotus had a massive momentum, each petal hiding an extreme pressure, Qin Yuesheng directly hurled the Taigu Divine Dread Double-Bladed Fork skyward to meet it, seeing the Taigu Divine Dread Double-Bladed Fork radiate dazzling black light, and with Qin Yuesheng’s inner strength pouring in, five massive black snakes swelled fiercely, crashing against that white lotus like ancient monstrous serpents.
Boom!!!
Truly like a thunder crashing down in the mortal realm, like drums sounding across the world.
Instantly the white lotus burst, black snakes furiously coiled; Qin Yuesheng squinted slightly, feeling a massive linear gale descending from the sky. He himself was shielded by inner strength, unharmed, but the surrounding ground was not so fortunate, with various trenches of differing lengths and depths slashed out.
Soon enough, the ground was in ruins.
In a flash, a blade of light approached, already before Qin Yuesheng’s eyes.
But Ah Hu reacted faster, leaping forward, swiping down with a paw, exactly intercepting the sword edge.
Ah Hu’s paw was comparable to a divine weapon, on impact the sword edge snapped immediately, Bai Ningxuan’s expression slightly surprised, hastily slashing with her hand, revealing a steel claw on her left hand, its claw aura fierce, aimed at striking Ah Hu’s face.
Qin Yuesheng was not standing by as a spectator; with the Celestial Fire Divine Saber sweeping out horizontally, its blade meeting Bai Ningxuan’s steel claw, sparks flying everywhere, yet the steel claw remained unscathed, as smooth as new.
Qin Yuesheng was secretly astonished; the steel claw on this woman’s hand was also a Divine Weapon!
What he did not know was that Bai Ningxuan, under orders from the White Lotus Sect Leader, had set out for Jiangnan to kill him, having fully prepared upon learning of Qin Yuesheng’s exceptional skills.
The White Lotus Sect Leader further instructed Bai Ningxuan to carry three Divine Weapons to better contend with Qin Yuesheng.
The steel claw in Bai Ningxuan’s hand, named ’Nine Heavenly Starfall Splitter’, was an artifact passed down from the first Sect Leader when the White Lotus Saint Sect was founded, its origins unknown.
All they knew was that the claw was razor-sharp, capable of shattering anything, even the skull of an inner strength martial artist, under ’Nine Heavenly Starfall Splitter’, would be crushed like tofu.
But the Celestial Fire Divine Saber was also remarkable, its forged material beyond this world, not to be described in common terms.
With Qin Yuesheng’s inner strength pouring in, flames erupted from the saber.
Bai Ningxuan saw the blaze coming, immediately waved her hand to turn her True Qi into a screen shielding herself, striving to block the flames of the Celestial Fire Divine Saber.
Practitioners lacked inner strength, even if decomposed they couldn’t gain Inner Strength Pills, hence whether fighting experts or novices, Qin Yuesheng found it rather unfulfilling.
Winning yields little, losing, scarcely possible.
Yet, with enemies already upon the doorstep, Qin Yuesheng knew he had every reason to fight whether or not he desired to.
In a blink, Qin Yuesheng unleashed his Divine Skill Saber Skill.
Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth. Blazing Fire!
Blazing Fire as a saber, the stance of burning.
Alongside the Celestial Fire Divine Saber, strength upon added strength, as a tiger with wings.
Bai Ningxuan felt the firelight before her reaching the heavens, her vision filled with swirling blaze, inevitably anxious as if her heart was on fire, irritable as it was.
As the fiery light cleaved, she suddenly reversed her hand to the back, actually pulling out a short-handled golden axe from her waist, swinging it to block.
This was the second Divine Weapon Bai Ningxuan brought from the White Lotus Saint Sect this time.
Boom!!!
A brilliant golden glow appeared on the blade of the golden axe; when Qin Yuesheng struck with his saber, he felt a tremendous force rebound from the axe, so immense that even Qin Yuesheng himself could not bear it, retreating seven paces.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
With each step stamped down, the ground immediately bore a footprint several inches deep, Qin Yuesheng gazed at Bai Ningxuan in astonishment.
He could clearly feel this power was not emitted from Bai Ningxuan’s body, but transmitted from the golden axe.
