Que Tianyi’s Terror

Que Tianyi's Terror . . .

The expressions of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect members underwent a sudden transformation. They had clearly not anticipated such ruthless and swift action from a woman. Not only was she decisive, but her strength was also undeniable, as she had effortlessly damaged their companion's eyes in a single move.

Furthermore, they found themselves surrounded by formidable individuals from the Qin Sect, radiating powerful auras that created a stifling atmosphere. Fury was etched on their faces, and waves of icy intent filled the inn, making the air heavy with tension.

The ugly young man, now blinded, continued to wail in agony, unleashing a torrent of venomous curses. "I'm blind! I'M BLIND!! Senior Brother, kill that damn bitch. I WANT HER TO DIE!"

However, Que Tianyi and his comrades remained motionless. Surprisingly, they had calmed down, as the situation had spiraled beyond their expectations.

"Sister Nanfeng!" Zhao Xin'er called out, attempting to rush over, but Que Tianyi's hand shot out, enveloping her in a bone-chilling coldness, as if attempting to freeze her in place.

"Release her," Nanfeng Yunxi commanded coldly. A phantom of an ancient phoenix materialized behind her, and she advanced, casting a scarlet glow that blanketed the area. Brilliant flames flickered to life around her, exuding a destructive force capable of obliterating everything.

"You blinded my junior brother, yet you demand her release?" Que Tianyi retorted icily.

"Weren't you all eager to meet the members of the Qin Sect? Here we are, and if you defeat me, you can blind my eyes too. You used a defenseless maiden as leverage earlier. Weren't you full of bravado then? Why the sudden cowardice?" Nanfeng Yunxi's words dripped with arrogance. Ranked third in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, she possessed formidable strength.

"Release her. Otherwise, this won't end with just one of your members losing their sight," another voice chimed in. It was a woman—Xu Ruxue, the former ninth-ranked cultivator who had also joined the Qin Sect.

"I was genuinely curious to see who would be audacious enough to summon our Qin Sect's leader. Until now, only Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie had the guts for it. But seeing you all, it's truly disappointing." Li Yu, now ranked fourth in the City of Ancient Emperors, expressed his contempt with crossed arms. He had left the Xiao Sect due to his disillusionment with Xiao Lengyue's actions against Qin Wentian and had since joined the Qin Sect.

Having met Qin Wentian earlier during his arrival in the city, Li Yu couldn't have foreseen that Qin Wentian would rise to legendary status so swiftly.

"Are you the leader of the Qin Sect?" Que Tianyi inquired, eyeing Nanfeng Yunxi.

"No," Nanfeng Yunxi replied icily, "but meeting me is equivalent to meeting him."

"The Qin Sect in the City of Ancient Emperors...what level of power does it hold?" Que Tianyi's gaze flickered with uncertainty. His earlier assumptions about the Qin Sect being an ordinary small sect were shattered. Facing the oppressive and menacing pressure emanating from his opponent, he began to doubt his previous judgments. This supreme beauty before him made him feel the weight of an unknown, formidable force.

Xu Ruxue couldn't help but snort with disdain. "You talk too much nonsense," she remarked. "Leng Pingchao has already informed us of your earlier remarks. Since you've dared to utter words that humiliate our Qin Sect, how do you propose we resolve this matter?"

Que Tianyi, feeling the weight of the situation, asked, "What do all of you want?"

"Every member of your group must give themselves ten slaps," Nanfeng Yunxi stated with icy arrogance, a demand that darkened the expressions of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect members. She wanted them to slap themselves?

Gusu Tianqi responded with cold resolve, "Ridiculous. We will fight if you wish to fight."

"Prove you're still men by releasing her before we engage in battle," Nanfeng Yunxi challenged, her gaze fixed on Que Tianyi.

Without hesitation, Que Tianyi lifted Zhao Xin'er and enveloped her in a freezing energy that encased her in ice. Then, he delivered a forceful palm strike, sending her crashing through the inn's doors.

Nanfeng Yunxi was momentarily stunned by the brutal act. She quickly waved her hands, and a surge of warmth flowed into Zhao Xin'er, melting the ice and relieving her from her frozen state. Zhao Xin'er moaned and trembled, visibly suffering.

"I am Que Tianyi, a disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. We are all disciples of our sect's immortal kings and emperors. You've blinded one of our members, and you still demand the release of your people. Are you satisfied now?" Que Tianyi's voice was laced with frigid determination. Above his head, a pale, cold moon materialized, radiating an aura of battle readiness.

Nanfeng Yunxi moved towards Zhao Xin'er, cradling her gently. "Xin'er, I will make him pay for this." She then entrusted Zhao Xin'er to a nearby comrade and stepped forward, her eyes resembling fiery phoenix flames. The phantom of a burning phoenix behind her echoed with a resounding cry, and crimson flames surged into the sky.

"A disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor? I've never heard of him," Nanfeng Yunxi remarked before pointing her finger once more, causing the entire area to be bathed in red light. A phoenix materialized and shot towards Que Tianyi and his group. Their faces contorted as they watched Nanfeng Yunxi, her power unmatched.

A gruesome sound followed by splattering blood filled the air as one of them had his arm severed. Que Tianyi, undeterred, stepped forward, shrouded by the pale, cold moon's brilliance. He unleashed a beam of freezing energy toward Nanfeng Yunxi.

In their aerial clash, Nanfeng Yunxi's phoenix energy engulfed Que Tianyi's constellation, filling it with relentless heat. Que Tianyi paled; his power was outmatched by Nanfeng Yunxi's.

Nanfeng Yunxi's energy engulfed the inn, reducing it to ashes in a blazing inferno. Onlookers retreated hastily, their eyes now filled with a sardonic smile directed at the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect members. These newcomers, arrogant as they were, had clearly disregarded the need to keep a low profile in the City of Ancient Emperors. Now, they would likely pay a painful price.

Gusu Tianqi's strength was nothing to scoff at. He summoned his sun furnace, and behind him, nine suns radiated with blinding brilliance. Even though he became the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's disciple after Que Tianyi, many in their sect considered Gusu Tianqi superior due to his exceptional talent. It was only his later entry into the sect that made him seem otherwise.

Stepping into the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon had transformed Gusu Tianqi into a formidable force. Terrifying sun spears shot forth from his furnace, compelling the members of the Qin Sect to hastily retreat.

Xu Ruxue, not one to back down, lashed out with her long whip, targeting Gusu Tianqi. Her whip attacks blotted out the sky, unleashing a cascade of runic light as they descended. Despite the onslaught, Gusu Tianqi maintained a calm demeanor. He roared mightily as his sun furnace erupted in boundless radiance, clashing with the countless whip shadows in the sky. Sizzling sounds filled the air, but to his astonishment, Gusu Tianqi discovered that his sun spears were being obliterated upon contact. The whip attacks were imbued with a destructive runic power capable of annihilation.

As the battle raged on, the other members of both groups joined the fray. Yet, from the outset, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect found themselves in an inferior position, entirely dominated by their opponents.

Even more alarming was the condition of Que Tianyi's constellation, corroded by Nanfeng Yunxi's energy at the outset of the battle. An ancient phoenix soared above the pale moon, its talons slashing through it. Nanfeng Yunxi unleashed a surging and overwhelming power with each attack, forcing Que Tianyi to muster his full strength for defense.

Que Tianyi's countenance grew increasingly grim. As a personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he had never faced such a humiliating defeat. He was utterly outmatched, and before this woman, his status meant nothing.

—BOOM!— Que Tianyi was sent reeling by an attack, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. The members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect watched in pale-faced silence. They couldn't muster a smile. In a fit of anger, they had previously ravaged a sect in the City of Ancient Emperors. But now, circumstances had changed dramatically. Their core disciples, once considered vital to their sect's future, were falling rapidly. The personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had been gravely wounded in a shockingly short span of time.

On the opposite end of the battlefield, the other personal disciple, Gusu Tianqi, continued to fight. Despite his efforts, it was evident that he was being suppressed. Xu Ruxue held a place among the top ten in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and defeating her was beyond Gusu Tianqi's reach, especially since he had only recently reached the ninth level.

—bzz!— Nanfeng Yunxi showed no signs of leniency. With lightning speed, she conjured a phoenix sword and slashed through the air, tearing it asunder with a blaze of red light. Que Tianyi's heart quaked with terror as he poured every ounce of his energy into defending himself. But it was futile. The sword shattered his defenses, leaving a long, bloody gash on his body as his robes were torn apart. He narrowly escaped death, but fear gripped his entire being, sending shivers down his spine.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, a desperate cry cut through the tension. Que Tianyi, watching Nanfeng Yunxi prepare for another devastating attack, couldn't hold back any longer. He urgently shouted, "Wait! This is all a misunderstanding! There's no need for bloodshed."

Leng Pingchao, standing at the rear, couldn't help but curse at the shamelessness of it all. Nanfeng Yunxi's eyes bore into Que Tianyi with escalating contempt. "Are the disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor truly this inept? Allow me to do your sect a favor and rid it of this refuse."

"YOU DARE TO KILL ME?" Que Tianyi was left utterly flabbergasted by her audacity. "I'M A PERSONAL DISCIPLE OF THE EASTERN SAGE IMMORTAL EMPEROR!"

Nanfeng Yunxi's voice, dripping with disdain, echoed, "Such an inferior disciple. Even if I were to end your life, he wouldn't lift a finger in retaliation." With her words, the world was consumed by a fiery red glow, and a palpable aura of ultimate destruction enshrouded Que Tianyi. Her finger thrust forward, and the entire area around him began to crumble.

Que Tianyi felt an icy chill run down his spine. How could this be happening? How could it be possible?

What higher status could there be than being a personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor? Yet, this woman before him dared to speak with such arrogance, declaring that even if she killed him, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would remain indifferent.

A look of desperation flickered in Que Tianyi's eyes. If that was the case, he would grant her an audience with his master—the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor himself.

Que Tianyi didn't reach for an immortal weapon to resist her overwhelming power. Instead, he activated a strand of immortal sense within his body, causing an astonishing energy to fill the air. A deafening rumble shook the surroundings as a majestic figure materialized from the energy. It was none other than the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, making his presence known!
