Chapter 89: Who is it?

Although Qin Ye teased, his gaze was like a torch. He made a move. Between his two fingers, immortal-like ethereal Qi surged, energy condensed at his fingertips.

From ancient history to now, the earliest records of cultivators in Great Xia began in the pre-Qin era. According to records, cultivators appeared in the pre-Qin period. In that era, cultivators practiced a method called Qi Refining. Such cultivators were called Qi Refiners.

After countless ancient years, the long-lost pre-Qin Qi Refiners have reappeared today through Qin Ye's hands.

Qin Ye stepped forward. Mouth like a hanging river, as soon as he spoke, his words became truth, echoing beside Nezha Third Prince's ears.

"His Highness Nezha Third Prince, Howling Celestial Dog, do you still have remaining divine consciousness? If yes, respond to me!"

Nezha's Dharma Image Heaven and Earth gave no words.

The response given was only the Fire-Tipped Spear, Red Armillary Sash, and Universe Ring bursting with divine might, attacking Qin Ye.

That's right. It was an attack.

From the moment Nezha stared at Qin Ye, he never looked away. His pitch-black eyes revealed strangeness, exactly the same as how Xiao Wen and the other two girls looked at Qin Ye earlier, not stopping until he was dead.

Clang!

A man and a god burst into battle.

No one would've thought that Fujian, being the province with the most deities in Great Xia, respected and worshipped by its people, until today.

The gods and deities revered by the people of Fujian engaged in battle with a person of Great Xia.

Nezha's Dharma Image Heaven and Earth moved, the Red Armillary Sash stained with thick black liquid whipped about, Fire-Tipped Spear swept horizontally, bringing waves of both demonic and divine power, launching continuous attacks at Qin Ye.

With each attack, thunder roared, the sky already covered in dark clouds.

The scene, just like those stories elders at home always told, where the anger of gods changes the colors of the sky and earth.

But the celestial anomaly wasn't caused by only one.

As Nezha's attack came forth, Qin Ye raised his hand and struck down, Qi gushed out like an immortal spring, overwhelming momentum, like a true god in the human world.

Boom!

Qi summoned Five Thunders, thunder not ordinary, but purple in color. As the purple thunder fell, it lit up the dark stormy sky like purple aura rising from the east.

"His Highness Nezha Third Prince, Howling Celestial Dog, I ask again, do you still have any divine consciousness left?" Qin Ye acted and spoke.

"If not, allow me to use you for an experiment. May your divine spirit in heaven not blame me."

As he spoke, Qin Ye's hands didn't stop, Qi circled his body, ethereal and transcendent, appearing even more immortal-like than Nezha.

[Bureau 749, Fujian Regional Office]

An old Daoist priest sipped tea, standing on the rooftop of the office, routinely monitoring the surrounding safety.

"Today is a good day." As he said this, next to him, a fellow worker at Bureau 749 looked over and smiled in agreement.

"It's indeed good weather. Today's perfect for sunbathing. Pity I didn't take my blanket out to the balcony, otherwise, I could've slept in a warm bed tonight."

The old Daoist laughed heartily at that and shook his head.

"I'm not talking about the weather. I mean a good day."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Look over there." The old Daoist didn't keep him guessing, pointing at the distant horizon.

"Look there, purple Qi is soaring. This is a sign of 'Purple Qi from the East.' Isn't that a good day? Since ancient times, purple Qi is considered an auspicious Qi. Once it appears, it foretells the rise of emperors or sages."

"And because of this, whether ancient or modern, purple Qi has always been seen as the most noble energy. Over there, it's surging, and I get to witness it today. Isn't that a great day? Haha."

As he spoke, the old Daoist took another sip of tea.

"The purple Qi there is dense. I've never seen anything like it in my life. No, with such good luck today, I can't just sit here. I've gotta buy a lottery ticket!"

"Wait for me! I'm going with you to buy one too!"

Hearing this, the colleague hurriedly followed after him.

At the same time, the direction where the old Daoist had pointed out the purple Qi, Nezha's Dharma Image Heaven and Earth was struck by Qin Ye's attack, purple Qi turned to thunder, blasting Nezha's form to the ground.

But even so, Nezha's Dharma Image Heaven and Earth wasn't truly injured. Just had a few wounds on the surface.

"This black liquid is clearly filled with extreme evil and yin energy. Theoretically, auspicious Qi like purple Qi should counter it, but it's not working." Qin Ye muttered quietly.

He clashed with Nezha for several rounds.

During that time, dleven though Nezha was a righteous god and martial officer of Heaven, he couldn't harm Qin Ye, but Qin Ye also couldn't really injure Nezha much. He used many methods, but none had significant effect.

At this moment, eeeing Nezha's form get up again, almost unscathed, Qin Ye said, "Seems like we can't look at this black liquid through the usual lens of cultivation. This thing doesn't follow conventional laws of good and evil suppression."

Right after as he muttered to himself, Qin Ye sidestepped, dodging the Fire-Tipped Spear's stab.

In this process, the spear was stained with thick black liquid. As it stabbed forward, drops of the black liquid were flung outward, and were about to splash onto Qin Ye.

Qi surged, Qin Ye burst forth Qi, covering his body, using it to deflect the black liquid.

The next second, Qin Ye stomped down with one foot.

Boom!

The ground beneath cracked open, forming a fissure that spread toward the charging Nezha. When it reached Nezha, purple Qi and divine light gushed from the crack.

The light was like blazing fire, capable of injuring both immortals and demons.

Nezha's Dharma Image Heaven and Earth leapt up, avoided the divine light.

And at the same moment, Nezha's massive form stepped down from the air toward Qin Ye. Under his feet, the Wind-Fire Wheels burned with black flames, rushing straight toward Qin Ye's face.

Nezha's form stood about sixteen meters tall. Like a giant.

Even the Wind-Fire Wheels were massive, like giant car tires.

If they landed on Qin Ye's face, even without being burned by the black fire, Qin Ye's head would be crushed.

However, Qin Ye did not dodge or retreat. He reached out and grabbed the Wind-Fire Wheel, and with it, the giant-like Nezha's form, swung him in a half-circle, and slammed him into the ground.

Again and again, each slam shook the earth. Nearby cement pipes stacked earlier began to roll and fall from the vibration.

Before long, Qin Ye slammed Nezha once more, then withdrew his hand and looked at it.

"The black liquid's infection is still bearable, I can resist for a while."

Qin Ye's hand, at some unknown point, had a layer of Qi solidified like substance, protecting his hand from being corroded by the black liquid during contact with Nezha.

Just as Qin Ye finished this experiment, he looked toward Nezha's Dharma Image's chest.

In his line of sight, Xiao Wen, as the medium through which Nezha was summoned, was trapped in the chest. Under the protection of the Dharma Image and Qin Ye deliberately avoiding attacks, Xiao Wen remained unharmed.

At this moment, Xiao Wen's face was filled with pain.

"That's enough." Qin Ye said upon seeing this.

"If the summoning continues, even if she has rare spiritual constitution, she can't bear the power of a deity. After all, she's not a cultivator, just an ordinary person."

Although he still had many experiments he wanted to try, for the safety of Xiao Wen and the other two girls, Qin Ye didn't plan to continue.

But before ending it, he glanced once more at Nezha's Dharma Image, sticking to the rule of "things happen in threes," and chose to ask one last time, "His Highness Nezha Third Prince, Howling Celestial Dog, do you still have divine consciousness? Respond to me!"

His voice rolled like thunder. Again using verbal incantation techniques.

"Hehehe…"

Nezha's Dharma Image responded with childish laughter, bbut this time, Howling Celestial Dog responded differently.

"Wh… who is it…"

Howling Celestial Dog's head, no longer barking, uttered a difficult voice.
