Chapter 257: A Terrifying Reputation Spreads Far and Wide
Qin Zhixue looked up at the sky full of attacks and at the eight cultivators who were swooping down, ready to seize her opportunity.
His cold gaze carried a chilling killing intent.
That gaze, in that instant, made the cultivators who were swooping down and already appeared in mid-air feel a chill.
Their minds seemed to freeze for a moment, but their bodies flew downwards for another three zhang.
"Her magical power is exhausted... Even with an ancient magical artifact, she probably wouldn't be able to activate it..."
Although they were inwardly alarmed, they quickly dismissed it.
This time, they besieged the woman for almost a day.
He's just a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even with an ancient treasure body and a near-fourth-order immortal foundation, one's magical power will still be limited.
This woman's ability to persevere for so long is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
How could there possibly be any spare capacity?
As everyone's thoughts raced, they were several feet closer to the ground below.
At that moment, Qin Zhixue's eyes flashed, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly closed her eyes again.
Suddenly, a terrifying ripple arose around her, with cold mist rising as if water were boiling.
The sound of the churning water grew louder and louder, instantly becoming like surging waves or a raging storm.
But then, Qin Zhixue suddenly opened her eyes.
In her eyes, golden light shone, and a vortex appeared in the sea of consciousness between her brows.
A boundless surge of divine power swept out like a tidal wave.
An incredibly terrifying spiritual pressure swept out like a storm, filling most of the void.
The impact affected an area of about 1,000 meters.
"Soul Tide..." A cold, eerie voice echoed from Qin Zhixue's mouth.
At this moment, her gaze was icy, and there was no trace of emotion on her face; she was as cold as ice.
It also carried a chilling murderous intent.
A sound rang out.
As if it were the chant of death, the eight cultivators who were swooping down felt their souls tremble.
Under the immense spiritual pressure storm, all the attacks from the second-tier runes that were coming from all directions were completely dissipated.
A terrifying force crushed their near-third-tier protective shield into pieces.
Then, they were swallowed up by the sea, or as if their consciousness was forcibly broken open by the waves.
Accompanying this was a raging storm that swept towards the soul.
The crowd's souls felt as if they were standing in a vast ocean under the night sky, with a terrifying force crashing down from the heavens.
It could be annihilated at any moment.
A great fear surged into my heart.
"Taiyin Cold Flow Arrow Talisman!" Before anyone could react, two talismans appeared in front of Qin Zhixue.
With a hand gesture, she channeled a wisp of divine consciousness into it, activating it.
With a flash of the talisman, a cold current swept out like a long river, flying out from her protective light shield.
Then, outside the valley, the nine cultivators who were guarding the formation saw two talismans fly out, transforming into two long rivers of arrows, winding like dragons, circling in the air, and instantly piercing through the foreheads and heart meridians of the eight cultivators.
A flash of cold light.
The rain of arrows disappeared.
All eight late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators perished.
The body fell from the sky.
At this moment, in the Taiyin Valley.
A vast 'soul tide' of power surged into the sky.
The force surged through the air like a tidal wave, causing the water-light curtain high above to shatter.
A vast power of 'soul tide' spread out in all directions.
That kind of oppressive aura was chilling and terrifying.
"Not good, it's the pressure of a Core Formation level cultivator!" Outside, the man in the cloud-robed robe holding the array plate felt a chill run down his spine.
With a flash, the Gale Talisman beneath his feet activated, transforming him into a streak of rainbow light as he flew away into the distance.
The other eight were also terrified and immediately fled on the wind.
As they fled, the eight cultivators who had flown into Taiyin Valley crashed to the ground.
It took only three breaths from when Qin Zhixue activated the 'Soul Tide' attack to when she triggered the 'Taiyin Cold Flow Arrow Talisman'.
in the valley.
Qin Zhixue looked up at the sky.
At this moment, there was no longer any formation to shield the sky.
She could clearly see nine streaks of light flying rapidly in eight directions.
"It's good that they ran away. In that case, no one will dare to attack us in the near future!" Qin Zhixue murmured, turning her gaze away.
With a flick of her hand, the frozen "Ren Shui Hao Hai Tu" in the sky flashed and was brought before her.
The scroll floated in the air, the cold crystals above disappeared, and after a ripple, it transformed into a nine-foot-long scroll.
"A third-tier magic weapon..." Her gaze sharpened, and a powerful divine sense seeped into it.
Half an hour later, she forcibly erased the two strands of divine consciousness imprints inside.
And she imprinted her own mark upon it, thus immediately establishing contact with the treasure.
After doing all this, she put the "Ren Shui Hao Hai Tu" into her storage bag.
Suddenly, Qin Zhixue felt a wave of dizziness.
Distracted.
"Soul exhaustion... As expected, Ninth Brother was right... Although using the 'Soul Burning Technique' can temporarily enhance one's spiritual power... it will also deplete one's soul essence, causing exhaustion... It should never be used when surrounded by powerful enemies."
With a thought, Qin Zhixue flipped her hand, and a divination plate with flowing Yin and Yang Qi appeared in her palm.
With a flick of her hand, four beams of light shot into the sky from the array plate.
In an instant, four array flags appeared around her.
The array flags flashed with light patterns, and four beams of light shot straight into the sky.
Then, black and white energy extended from the pillar of light, connecting to form a light array that covered an area of one thousand meters in radius.
In the valley, an array of independent spaces was thus formed.
This was clearly the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation," which Qin Zhixue had set up long ago, but had not activated.
Firstly, although the "Small Yin-Yang Reversal Formation" is powerful, it still cannot resist the "Talisman Treasure".
Therefore, starting it right away is not very useful.
Secondly, the various immortal sects intended to ambush Qin Zhixue here, and she also wanted to use this opportunity to kill them and establish her prestige in one battle.
Therefore, although Qin Zhixue could have used the "Soul Burning Technique" to increase her strength and break through directly, she was still able to achieve her goal.
But she did not choose to resist; instead, she fought back fiercely until both sides had exhausted their talismans and trump cards before finally using this technique.
Only in this way can we kill the enemy in an instant.
Otherwise, rashly using the Soul Burning Technique to kill only one or two people would not be enough to deter the world.
She instantly killed eight people.
Such methods are comparable to those of a Core Formation cultivator.
This was enough to deter Foundation Establishment cultivators from all the major immortal sects from acting recklessly.
When the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array" was activated, Qin Zhixue sat cross-legged on the cold current. She flipped her palm, and two pills flew out from her palm.
Second-tier "Soul Restoration Pill".
Second-tier "Great Qi Restoration Pill".
……
Taiyin Valley.
Twenty miles away.
The man in the cloud-patterned robe stood on the azure waves, his gaze fixed on the Taiyin Valley ahead, his eyes as cold and gloomy as frost.
This person is named Ling Yu, a descendant of a Core Formation True Person from Lingyan Island.
At this moment, there was a man dressed in a green robe beside him, named Su Boyun.
"That was close..." Su Boyun glanced at the Taiyin Valley ahead, his mind filled with mixed emotions and a hint of horror.
He then looked at Ling Yu and said, "The divine pressure that Qin Zhixue just displayed... seems to have reached the level of a Core Formation True Person..." His eyes were filled with horror, his gaze was slightly unfocused, and he looked like he was still in shock.
"This woman is too terrifying... No one below the Core Formation Realm can compare to her... Even a False Core Formation Realm cultivator cannot kill her." Ling Yu said, then suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, my 'Ren Shui Vast Ocean Map'..." As he spoke, his heart sank.
A mouthful of blood also spurted from his mouth.
He left a divine imprint on the "Ren Shui Hao Hai Tu".
With this mark being erased, he also suffered a backlash.
In addition, the treasure map also contains a divine imprint left by a Core Formation cultivator.
Su Boyun immediately helped Ling Yu up.
Ling Yu took a breath, then looked at the valley ahead and sighed, "This time, I really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!"
"Let's go!" After sighing, he flicked his sleeve and straightened up.
"This Qin Zhixue..." Su Boyun said.
"This woman has already reached her full potential; only a Core Formation cultivator can kill her... Let's go and seek another opportunity!" Ling Yu said.
"She clearly possesses abilities comparable to a Core Formation Realm cultivator, yet she conceals them, only to lure the enemy deep into her territory. This woman's ruthlessness is rare in this world." Su Boyun nodded. At this moment, recalling the scene at Taiyin Valley, he still felt lingering fear and dared not provoke that woman again.
……
"She's only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and already possesses such abilities. If she were to reach Core Formation... the cultivation world of my Chu Kingdom would be in for a world-shaking change!"
There was nothing but emptiness beside me.
A cultivator from the Golden Cloud Sect sighed deeply.
Burning Flame Valley.
The cultivators of the Refining Dust Sect also left the place with solemn expressions.
After this battle, they no longer dared to ambush that proud daughter of heaven!
……
In the battle of Taiyin Valley, 17 late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces, but eight of them were killed.
This matter quickly spread throughout the 'Mysterious Netherworld'.
This news didn't just come from these four major immortal sects.
There are also the three major immortal sects: Ice River Valley, Taibai Immortal Sect, and Qingyan Immortal Sect.
Although none of the three parties sent anyone to ambush Qin Zhixue, some of them were watching the battle from a distance.
Therefore, they saw the scene that was taking place in the valley from afar.
Even though they were twenty miles apart, the divine pressure emanating from Qin Zhixue, comparable to that of a Core Formation True Person, still made these people tremble and their minds become unstable. For a moment, they were also glad that their own immortal sect had just formed an alliance with Ice River Valley.
Otherwise, they would have been among those who ambushed them.
Most likely, someone will die.
At the same time, Qin Zhixue's act of feigning weakness to lure the enemy deep into her territory, and then suddenly launching a counterattack, has also deeply resonated with the public.
This gave the cultivators of the seven major immortal sects a new understanding of the seemingly otherworldly and ethereal "Bright Moon Fairy".
She was labeled as a ruthless, decisive, and ruthless woman, which made me feel more awe than admiration for her.
And fear.
No one dared to underestimate this woman anymore.
……
half a month later.
Taiyin Valley.
A vortex appeared in front of Qin Zhixue.
A vast amount of Yin energy swept in from the cold pool in front of her and was drawn into her body for refining.
It took a full half month, during which he consumed several precious pills and spiritual essences.
With the addition of continuous Qi absorption day and night, she finally managed to replenish the mana she had lost in the previous battle to 70% of her peak.
She really did lose nine-tenths of her magical power in that battle half a month ago.
If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental.
Even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could kill her.
Fortunately, she used the Soul Burning Technique to enhance her divine sense, which intimidated everyone.
call!
Qin Zhixue let out a soft breath, and slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the abundant magical power within her body.
Recalling the previous battle, she felt a pang of sadness.
"If it weren't for the 'Soul Burning Technique' given to me by Ninth Brother, which suddenly boosted my soul power to the Core Formation Realm..."
"Even if I possessed the fourteen-word mantra... I might not be able to break through the encirclement..."
