The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

On the Chaotic Cloud Dao, the battle was growing ever more heated.

As a King, Linn’s overwhelming presence, infused with Martial Arts True Intent, swept across the land. His eyes were shot with blood, his fury a blazing inferno. A storm raged around him, making the very air ripple. His killing intent toward Qin Ya had reached its boiling point!

But Qin Ya was hidden within a pocket of isolated space, his movements impossible to track. Even Linn’s own Divine Thought, which had evolved to a liquid state befitting a King, could only vaguely sense his position. Linn raised his palm, and a fierce, endless gale instantly swept across the vast battlefield!

"If I can’t catch you, then I’ll just destroy everything!"

Linn’s eyes grew cold, his killing intent surging. Storms, sharper than blades and more savage than Fierce Beasts, ravaged the area, plunging the battlefield into an apocalyptic scene.

After the terrifying blanket attack, the battlefield was a scene of utter devastation. Not a single tree or stone remained intact. Linn’s eyes narrowed as his Divine Thought swept across the area.

Suddenly, a strange ripple appeared in the air!

A sword tip, carrying the Power of Natural Destruction, stabbed out from the void. In an instant, it claimed the life of a Half-Step King. Linn’s pupils contracted, and his body trembled with rage. But it wasn’t over. In the blink of an eye, another Half-Step King fell. In just a few moments, only two Blood Nether Association Killers remained.

The only remaining Half-Step King was a seductive woman. Her face was pale, her delicate frame trembling. An irrepressible chill erupted from her heart and swept through her body like a tidal wave, making every hair stand on end.

Her gaze was filled with terror, shock, and disbelief...

She let out a shriek and rushed to Linn’s side. "Protect me, Linn! You have to protect me! You’re a King! Kill him!"

Linn said nothing, his expression impossibly dark.

’He never imagined Qin Ya possessed such a method for concealing himself.’

"Weei, don’t worry."

A cold glint flashed in Linn’s eyes as he shot into the sky.

Just then, a sword edge slashed across Weei’s body. At the same instant, Linn, high above, gathered the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and unleashed his True Essence with all his might. Massive tornadoes formed on the Chaotic Cloud Dao, churning up boulders, trees, and earth. The tornadoes rapidly converged on Weei’s position, trapping her attacker, Qin Ya, in the process. Seeing the trap spring, Qin Ya’s expression turned grave.

’I will avenge you all.’

Endless gales raged. Linn’s black hair whipped about wildly, a mad glint in his eyes.

That he, a King, would sacrifice a comrade’s life without hesitation to create a fatal blow against Qin Ya showed that his feelings toward him went beyond mere killing intent. He was also afraid!

He was truly afraid.

When he considered that Qiann Feng, another King, had likely fallen at Qin Ya’s hands, an unstoppable thread of fear coiled in his heart.

Faced with the tornadoes that threatened to completely envelop him, Qin Ya’s expression was grim. The Mysterious techniques of Destruction and Nature manifested, condensing on the edge of his sword. He slashed out, and a magnificent beam of Sword Light struck one of the tornadoes, forcibly tearing a gap in it.

He unleashed his Mysterious Speed and shot toward the opening. However, the gap in the storm was already closing rapidly. Qin Ya’s eyes narrowed. A silver-white radiance bloomed around him as he condensed his Dharma Aspect, his speed increasing yet again. He shot through the gap just in the nick of time.

Looking up at Linn in the sky, Qin Ya’s eyes narrowed. Killing intent boiled in his heart as well. The thought of the millions of lives lost turned his heart to ice. He gripped Ting Xiao and shot upward. The Power of Natural Destruction flowed along the blade, which let out an angry, high-pitched hum as he slashed!

High above, a tremor ran through Linn as he felt a chill sweep over him. His Divine Thought screamed with a sudden sense of threat. "Qin Ya!"

His True Essence surged and his True Intent flared, forming a thin Wind Shield around his body. CLANG! Qin Ya’s sword struck it. The blade stopped less than an inch from Linn’s body. Without a moment’s hesitation, Qin Ya’s gaze hardened, and he flung a cloud of black mist at Linn.

"This is... poison."

Linn felt the True Essence in his body being suppressed. His expression changed drastically, and he slammed a palm into the empty space before him. He knew Qin Ya was there!

Layers of light shields from his Defensive Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts appeared before Qin Ya. BOOM! The shields shattered. Qin Ya took the full force of the palm strike and was sent flying. He immediately swallowed an Elixir. His form split into twenty-four images, which then instantly converged as he unleashed Extreme Stab, shooting through the air like a beam of Flowing Light!

’Danger!’

Linn’s pupils shrank. He unleashed his True Essence and gathered his True Intent with all his might. But the piercing power of the Extreme Stab was terrifying. In a single instant, it struck his shield hundreds, even thousands of times. Cracks began to form on the shield, one that was powered by the full strength of a King!

"This... How is this possible!"

A look of utter disbelief crossed Linn’s face. Then, with a pop, the shield shattered. The sword plunged through his body, drawing a spray of blood!

"This is... a Mysterious Technique!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Linn’s mouth, his eyes filled with horror.

A Mysterious Technique—the ultimate application of a Mysterious concept!

’To think Qin Ya had mastered the Mysterious Speed to this extent! No wonder he was able to kill Qiann Feng. No wonder he could wipe out so many Blood Nether Association strongholds!’

"Die!"

Qin Ya spoke coolly. As his sword swung to decapitate him, a crazed look flashed in Linn’s eyes. The True Essence around him erupted, and endless gales, each carrying immense power, swept outward.

’Fall back!’

Seeing this, Qin Ya didn’t dare let his guard down. He unleashed his Mysterious Speed and shot back a great distance in an instant, dodging Linn’s final, desperate strike. As he made his escape, Linn let out a furious roar. "I won’t accept this! I won’t!"

The roar was filled with rage, indignation... and regret.

’If I’d known Qin Ya was such a monster, I never would have provoked him. I would’ve left Lei Province long ago. It would have been humiliating, but at least I’d still be alive.’

’But now, it was all for nothing.’

An earth-shattering explosion ripped through the air, shaking the entire Chaotic Cloud Dao. It was ravaged by the endless gales, and the mountains on either side of the path split apart, revealing a massive, bottomless chasm. The sheer destructive power was staggering.

’A King’s final, desperate counterattack is not to be underestimated.’

A flicker of apprehension showed in Qin Ya’s eyes as he surveyed the scene.

He returned to the battlefield, a small smile playing on his lips. Scattered on the ground before him were Blood Nether Orders. Though some were damaged, they could still be exchanged for Law Enforcement Points at Kunyun Palace, which would be of great use to him.

Soon after, he finished collecting the Blood Nether Orders and shot into the sky. He found a secluded place to properly tend to his injuries. Two days later, he began the journey back to Kunyun Palace.

’Seven Peaks, Jing’er, Brother Muh...’

As their faces flashed through his mind, he thought of his current strength and the vast number of Points he could get from the Blood Nether Orders. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.

’Kunyun Palace, I’m coming back.’
