The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

War had broken out at the Li Family’s estate. With spear in hand, Qin Ya single-handedly faced over a hundred Extraordinary cultivators, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage. The terrifying combat power he displayed struck fear and terror into their hearts!

He wielded his long spear with masterful ease, his technique exquisite. One moment it blazed with Thunder and Fire, the next it was as cold as Frost Snow, then it moved with the speed of a Ghostly Charm... His spear was like the scythe of the Death God!

The acrid stench of blood filled the air. Over the din of battle, his opponents could hear their own hearts pounding in their chests. The hands gripping their weapons had begun to tremble.

"Everyone, spread out! Don’t engage him in close combat!"

The Li Family Ancestor roared, and everyone hastily retreated. But Qin Ya only gave a cold sneer as his figure flickered like a Ghostly Charm. He was too fast for them to escape!

One Celestial Human retreated at top speed, only to see a White Shadow dogging his every step. A cold glint of light suddenly thrust toward him. His Divine Thought quaked, and his eyes filled with terror. With an explosion of True Essence, he swung his longsword fiercely at Qin Ya!

BOOM!!

Thunder and Fire erupted from the long spear, unleashing an immense power. The Celestial Human felt a colossal force slam into him, and he lost his grip on his longsword. The spear tip plunged into his heart, and a violent torrent of Thunder instantly coursed through his body!

Qin Ya’s expression was cold, a searing killing intent swirling around him like an aura. He was a true Killing God; wherever he passed, wails of agony followed. The Li Family Ancestor and the others were terrified. ’We can’t beat him, and we can’t run from him. How can this Qin Ya be so powerful!’

After a frenzied slaughter, Qin Ya had lost count of how many Martial Artists he’d slain. All he knew was that the Li Family Mansion grounds below were now carpeted with corpses. The dense ranks of his enemies had been cut down by more than half, leaving only a dozen or so Celestial Humans!

"Damn you!" the Li Family Ancestor roared. His True Essence erupted, its overwhelming might surging forth like countless mountains and rivers rolling in to crush Qin Ya!

Thunder and Fire collided with this power, and a tempest of energy raged. The thick black fog began to dissipate, and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on the Li Family Ancestor’s face!

"Haha, the effects of the Poisonous Fog have worn off!"

The Li Family Ancestor laughed wildly as his True Essence erupted. With an overwhelming aura that seemed to stir heaven and earth, he condensed a terrifying Dharma Aspect hundreds of feet tall. It suddenly threw a punch, kicking up waves of energy. The sound was like a peal of thunder as the immense power blasted toward Qin Ya!

If his previous Palm Power was like a landscape of mountains and rivers, then the power of this Dharma Aspect was like all those landforms converging into a single, cataclysmic strike!

The Li Family Ancestor was on the verge of becoming a Half-Step King, and the power of this strike was several times stronger than that of Chang Zhuangyu, whom Qin Ya had encountered in Feixi City!

"I’ve been held up for a while," Qin Ya remarked indifferently. The siege of over a hundred Extraordinaries hadn’t been able to truly harm him, but it had bought the Li Family Ancestor and his allies enough time to outlast the black fog’s effects.

Facing the Li Family Ancestor’s strike, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Ice, Fire, Thunder, and Wind converged as he unleashed the Four Symbols Mysteries. An immense power of nature erupted, and empowered by the Mysteries of Destruction, it burst forth in a brilliant light to clash head-on with the attack!

Space trembled, and the air itself recoiled!

Countless buildings on the Li Family estate collapsed. Roof tiles were torn away and swept up into a vortex. The pupils of the surrounding Celestial Humans contracted as they scrambled to retreat.

The mere Energy Aftermath from their clash was enough to threaten a Celestial Human!

"A Celestial Human with a Dharma Aspect is on a completely different level of power."

"Exactly. There’s no way that Qin Ya can withstand this."

"Not to mention Brother Li has been at the Celestial Human Perfection realm for many years. His strength is just a hair’s breadth shy of a Half-Step King. The might of his Power of Dharma Aspect goes without saying!"

The crowd stared into the depths of the dust cloud, extending their Divine Thought, only to witness a shocking scene!

A young man in white stood hovering in the air, his robes rustling in the wind. The corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, his gaze filled with contempt. Qin Ya... was completely unscathed!

"This is impossible!"

"This kid is too strong! Everyone, attack together!"

BOOM! A dozen Dharma Aspects rose into the sky, roiling the heavens!

"Stop!!"

Just as they were about to strike, several figures arrived, unleashing a powerful aura that swept over the area. Everyone couldn’t help but turn to look.

Several figures hovered in the air, a chill running through them as they gazed down at the innumerable corpses below. One of them was none other than the lord of the Purple Cloud Heavenly Mountain, Hex Ziqing!

Upon seeing them, the Li Family Ancestor’s face lit up with joy.

"Gentlemen, your timing is perfect! Please, help me slay this Demon!"

But Hex Ziqing’s expression turned frigid. "Slay him?" he scoffed. "Li Family Ancestor, do I really need to spell out what you, the Zhao, and the Yun families did?"

"Brother Hex, what do you mean by that!"

The Li Family Ancestor’s face darkened, and a faint sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Qin Ya broke the array for us at the Ao Family estate, helping us escape their ancestor’s clutches. He saved our lives! And yet you, along with the Zhao and Yun families, harbored sinister intentions. Coveting the Cyan Cloud Order, you stirred up chaos across Yun Province and plotted to put him in this very predicament!"

"What else do you have to say for yourself!"

Hearing this, the others immediately turned hostile gazes on the Li Family Ancestor. If what Hex Ziqing said was true, then Qin Ya’s quest for revenge was completely justified. It meant they had acted as the Li Family’s thugs for no good reason, and so many of their own had died for it.

The Li Family Ancestor’s face had already turned deathly pale.

He understood. Hex Ziqing hadn’t come to help him; he had come to push him into an abyss of eternal damnation. He had no way to refute the claim, because it was the truth!

So many people had been at the Ao Family estate that day; finding someone to corroborate Hex Ziqing’s words would be easy. He didn’t understand how Hex Ziqing could possibly know about his plot against Qin Ya. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a figure beside Hex Ziqing.

The branch president of the Worldwide Business Association... Liu Po!!

’Why is he here?’ His confusion intensified. ’The Worldwide Business Association is immensely powerful and has a deep foundation, but they never involve themselves in disputes. They didn’t even make a move during the struggle for the Cyan Cloud Order, so why would Liu Po show up now?’

"Brother Li, is what Sect Leader Hex said really true?!"

The Li Family Ancestor’s expression shifted. He pointed a finger at Qin Ya and declared, "This boy’s crimes are monstrous! He has slain countless masters across Yun Province! I am merely ridding the world of a great evil! And you, Hex Ziqing, as the Sect Leader of Yun Province’s foremost sect, not only have you done nothing, you are here aiding this tyrant! What right do you have to condemn me?"

He spoke with righteous indignation, his every word resonating with conviction!

Hex Ziqing and his companions’ faces grew incredibly grim. For a moment, they were at a loss for a rebuttal.

The Li Family Ancestor had been the first to do wrong, but what he said now was not without merit.

Qin Ya had indeed killed countless masters in Yun Province, spreading panic throughout the region. From that perspective, it was understandable that the Li Family Ancestor and the others wanted to kill him.

"How absurd!"

An utterly indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

"They came to kill me. Am I not allowed to fight back?"

"Besides, their deaths are all a result of your schemes against me."

"The path of Martial Arts is paved with the bones of the fallen. You will simply be one more body I step over on my way." As his voice faded, Qin Ya raised his white spear, took out the Ghost Face Mask, and slowly placed it over his face. In an instant, his figure vanished!

The expressions of the Li Family Ancestor and the others changed drastically as they frantically swept the area with their Divine Thought!

But they still couldn’t detect any sign of him.

Just then, the sound of tearing air echoed. A long spear stabbed out of the void, carrying an immense natural power brimming with Destruction as it lanced toward the Li Family Ancestor!
