“Save me, grandfather!” Qian Xingwei used his movement technique to leap outside as he called out.
Qian Rongzhi extended her right hand and grabbed him by the shoulder, pulling him before her. She pressed her index finger against Qian Xingwei’s forehead. “What are you running for?” Her long nail pierced his skin, drawing blood.
“S- stop! I’m your elder brother!”
Qian Rongzhi said gently with a clear smile, “You wanted to skin me alive. Is this how you do it?” Like a sharp paper knife, her nails slid down as horrendous shrieks filled the area before the hall.
Chapter 139: Don't Use My Things | Legend of the Great Sage
“Xingwei!” Qian Yannian heard the shrieks outside, so he could not help but take a step forward. Li Qingshan would never let an opening like this slip by. He swung the Wind-entwining blade at Qian Yannian’s waist.
The blade moved swiftly and forcefully. Qian Yannian’s expression changed as a result. He never thought a second layer Qi Practitioner could produce such a fierce attack.
In Qian Yannian’s eyes, Li Qingshan was only able to kill the old elder in grey due to his underhanded sneak attack. He did not take Li Qingshan seriously at all. He only treated him as an annoying insect he could flatten to death at any time.
He did not flatten him immediately because he was still hesitating over the consequences that came with killing a Hawkwolf guard. He was thinking whether there was an actual way out of this or not.
However, the swing of Li Qingshan’s blade clearly told Qian Yannian that, I’m not asking whether you want to kill me right now. Instead, I want to kill you!
“Kid, you’re asking to die!” Qian Yannian yelled out. His right hand similar to a chicken’s claw opened up and grabbed the blade forcefully, catching the swift attack.
At a closer glance, a tiny distance separated the blade and the hand. Qian Yannian and Li Qingshan’s true qi clashed violently in that tiny distance.
They were like two armies waging war on an extended front. One side was composed of elite soldiers, but they were unable to match the opposing army that outnumbered them one hundred to one.
Li Qingshan’s blood vessels swelled up as he poured all of his strength into the blade, but it failed to move an inch further.
Qian Yannian was surprised as well. With his strength, he actually failed to rip the blade out of Li Qingshan’s hand. This kid’s strength was simply startling.
The almost indestructible Wind-entwining blade creaked painfully.
Despite their various thoughts, only a moment had passed, and the two of them basically reacted at the same time. Qian Yannian threw a punch at Li Qingshan’s chest, while Li Qingshan reached towards Qian Yannian’s head, completely ignoring the attack. As soon as they had clashed, Li Qingshan already seemed like he wanted to drag Qian Yannian down with him.
There were many aspects Li Qingshan had no confidence in, but his defences were not one of them. I got plenty of hit points and a high defence. Taking a couple of your blows won’t do anything, but if you’re hit by even a single one from me, you're dead!
Qian Yannian felt like if he followed through with his strike, his head would be crushed. He was old, so he valued his life, so why would he risk it against Li Qingshan? He released the Wind-entwining blade and retreated in a hurry while throwing out over a dozen punches.
Just when Li Qingshan wanted to advance with his advantage, he saw the punches condensed from true qi fly over. He produced a flurry with the Wind-entwining blade and protected himself.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! With a series of collisions, a violent gust of wind swept out. The huge table was knocked onto the ground as all the lanterns and candles in the hall were extinguished.
Li Qingshan staggered backwards as his legs carved out two deep marks in the marble tiles.
With a crack, he kicked off the huge, broken door frame behind him with a foot and steadied himself. He raised his eyebrows.
“You’re a Body Practitioner!” Qian Yannian cried out. The true qi earlier would have smashed apart the organs of ordinary second layer Qi Practitioners. They might have even been ripped to pieces on the spot, unless their bodies had been strengthened by the arts of training the body.
Li Qingshan did not feel the slightest bit of displeasure. Instead, it was satisfying, like he had just stretched his body. He stared at Qian Yannian as his eyes revealed bloodthirsty excitement.
Qian Yannian looked at Li Qingshan. Contempt had vanished from his eyes, replaced by some caution, but it was only some. He had just been too careless earlier, which was why Li Qingshan had the opportunity to swing his blade. It was impossible for second layer Qi Practitioners to match fifth layer Qi Practitioners; this was simply common sense.
“Do you really think you can kill me just because you can endure a few attacks from me? Since you seek death, I’ll give you death. Then I’ll go kill that slut Qian Rongzhi.”
Outside, Qian Xingwei’s shrieks grew more and more miserable, but Qian Yannian completely ignored them now. Although he liked this eldest grandson very much, he had plenty of grandchildren. It did not matter if a few died.
Li Qingshan did not just stand around as Qian Yannian spoke. He grabbed his blade with both hands and raised it high above his head. His extremely pure true qi circulated along the Yang Heel meridian, channelling into the Wind Entwining blade through his arms and coating the blade with a layer of light. As he swung down, he produced an extremely sharp wind blade that whistled towards Qian Yannian.
Qian Yannian sneered. With a deep breath, a streak of golden light emerged from his nostril, piercing through the wind blade and shooting towards Li Qingshan. It left behind a thin, golden streak in the air.
A flying sword? But I thought only sixth layer Qi Practitioners could use them?
Li Qingshan was rather surprised, but he responded immediately. This should not have been a flying sword, but some kind of technique. However, it was much more powerful than regular techniques. It basically gave a fifth layer Qi Practitioner the methods that only sixth layer Qi Practitioners could use. The information that Qian Rongzhi had provided about how Qian Yannian was only as strong as a fourth layer Qi Practitioner was completely false.
As a fifth layer Qi Practitioner, Qian Yannian obviously did not practise the Innate Method of Practising Qi that had a limit at the third layer. Instead, he practised a stronger cultivation method, the Geng Metal Method of Sharpening Qi.
This was the Geng Metal Swords of Qi of the Geng Metal Method of Sharpening Qi. The lungs were metal attributed, and it condensed a sharp aura within it. The lungs were linked to the nose, which produced swords of qi. The streaks of light sliced through the air as they produced a sharp whistling sound similar to sirens. Just the whistling alone would have been enough to kill ordinary people.
TL: The Geng Metal part comes from the twelve heavenly stems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavenly_Stems). They don’t really mean anything by themselves, heavily depending on the context. For example, they can be incorporated into calendars or used for fortune telling.
Li Qingshan bent his knees and leapt high into the air. The sword qi brushed past the soles of his feet. Taking advantage of the opening, he leapt towards Qian Yannian, rapidly closing the distance between them.
Qian Yannian saw Li Qingshan lunge over, and he snorted once again. His eyes were filled with viciousness.
Suddenly, another sword of qi emerged from his nostril, stabbing towards Li Qingshan in the air. At the same time, the other sword of qi made a turn under his control, stabbing towards Li Qingshan’s back.
