Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 411 A final gamble slays the old man!

But just when the old man was filled with despair...

Suddenly, I noticed that Li Qingyuan's gaze seemed to be temporarily drawn to the dazzling light emitted by the collision of the stone tablet and the small lock.

A glimmer of hope suddenly rekindled in my heart; I felt that my chance had come!

At that moment, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he instantly gathered all his profound energy.

Then, with a thought, the longsword shot towards Li Qingyuan like an arrow released from a bow.

This strike was like a sudden clap of thunder, as swift as lightning.

Flames roared from the longsword, the intense heat radiating outwards as if to incinerate everything around it.

......

at the same time.

The old man's hands moved with lightning speed as he swiftly took out several talismans from his robes.

Driven by his will, these talismans instantly transformed into several sharp attacks, raining down on Li Qingyuan like a storm.

Some talismans transformed into sharp ice blades, gleaming with a cold light and carrying a bone-chilling cold.

Some talismans transformed into raging fireballs, burning fiercely and radiating a scorching aura;

Some talismans transformed into bolts of lightning, crackling and popping, containing immense destructive power.

In an instant, various attacks intertwined, forming a terrifying attack net that enveloped Li Qingyuan.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan seemed not to have reacted yet, she stood still without dodging or flinching.

The old man's previously despairing face instantly broke into a ferocious smile.

That smile was twisted and terrifying, like a demon from hell.

His eyes were filled with smugness and cruelty, as if he were looking at an ant that was about to die.

He thought to himself that he could finally turn the tables and kill the brat who had made him lose face!

......

Witnessing this thrilling scene.

Su Yaoyue and the other two women immediately became anxious, their beautiful eyes filled with worry. They opened their mouths, wanting to remind Li Qingyuan.

Just then.

But then they heard the old ox's deep, steady voice echo in their minds:

"Don't worry, he's very shrewd and wouldn't risk his life... Just relax."

The three women were slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

They exchanged a glance, and although they still had doubts, they remained silent when they saw the old ox's resolute expression.

However, a hint of worry, which they could not quite hide, still lingered in their beautiful eyes.

His eyes were fixed on Li Qingyuan, as if afraid that something might happen to him.

......

Seeing those attacks, filled with endless killing intent, pouring straight towards Li Qingyuan!

The old man burst into laughter, his laughter wild and unrestrained, as if he could already see Li Qingyuan being blasted into pieces.

This man is ruthless and vicious. He not only killed several of his capable subordinates, but also slew the demonic insects that he had carefully cultivated and treasured!

This hatred has long transcended the scope of organizational tasks and has evolved into a life-or-death feud that is irreconcilable!

The old man was convinced that Li Qingyuan would surely perish under this overwhelming attack.

But his laughter stopped abruptly, like a string of a musical instrument severed by a sharp blade.

The reason was that the Dragon Abyss Sword, exuding a sharp aura, had appeared behind him silently, like a ghost.

At this moment, the Dragon Abyss Sword, like a lightning bolt slicing through the darkness, pierced fiercely toward his head with earth-shattering force.

The old man, who was immersed in the joy of about to kill his enemy, suddenly went blank and his body had no time to react.

......

"Pfft!"

The Dragon Abyss Sword pierced through his skull without any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful surge of sword energy erupted from the sword, instantly blasting his head and body apart.

The old man, who was at the King Realm, was like a fragile ant in the face of the terrifying power of the Dragon Abyss Sword.

In an instant, it turned into a cloud of blood mist.

As the breeze drifted through the air, only a nauseating stench of blood remained.

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene before them.

All of this happened so fast that there was no time to react.

That young man in white actually managed to defeat a powerful cultivator at the King Realm despite being the weakest!

This feat is simply defying the heavens.

It's like a crazy challenge to conventional understanding of the world.

It left everyone present feeling terrified and incredulous!

......

And at this time.

Su Yaoyue was completely unaware of the old man disappearing into the wind.

Her gaze was fixed on the spot where Li Qingyuan was engulfed by several attacks.

The place was shrouded in mist and fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Su Yaoyue's heart suddenly raced, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and anxiety, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Suddenly.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared, and Li Qingyuan strode out from it.

At this moment, he tightly gripped the "amulet lock" in his left hand. The amulet lock emitted a soft light and appeared quite resilient.

His right hand held the "rune stele," the runes on which shimmered with a strange light, seemingly still bearing the lingering power of the battle.

Li Qingyuan's face was beaming with excitement.

But upon closer inspection, one can see a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Several large, visible gashes were also visible on his body, and blood was gushing out, staining his white clothes red.

......

Just now, at that critical moment...

Fortunately, Li Qingyuan reacted quickly and activated the spacetime shield with all her might.

The spacetime shield, like a transparent bubble, tightly enveloped him, resisting most of the attacks.

Even so, some attacks still managed to penetrate the shield, leaving these horrific wounds on his body.

Fortunately, thanks to this powerful protective shield, he managed to escape this calamity; otherwise, he would have been killed by the old man.

This old man is truly a cunning and treacherous fellow, actually trying to scheme against him with such insidious tactics.

Fortunately, Li Qingyuan remained highly vigilant.

With keen intuition and strong judgment, he can control the Dragon Abyss Sword with his mind to kill enemies at critical moments.

But that's precisely because his soul is so powerful that he can multitask.

Even at such a critical moment of life and death, he was still able to precisely control the Emperor Sword and launch a defensive attack.

If it were anyone else, daring to do such a thing, they would probably have died countless times already.

After all, you can't do two things at once!

Especially in such a critical moment of life and death struggle, the slightest carelessness could lead to utter destruction.

Li Qingyuan dared to do this mainly because her state of mind had been elevated after the Xue Jing incident!

His "big heart" has finally begun to show its brilliance for the first time!

He remained calm and rational throughout the face of the old man's schemes and tricks, showing no panic whatsoever.

They finally succeeded in killing the old man, eliminating the temporary threat.

At this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

......

now.

Those around him who were used to changing their tune with the wind and playing both sides.

Look at this amazing reversal!

His eyes darted around.

Instantly, he adopted a look of sudden realization and righteous indignation, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"I noticed it a long time ago!"

"As I just said, this young man is imposing and has extraordinary manners; he certainly wouldn't act rashly without a reason."

"Now it seems that the old man was indeed problematic!"

"Nine times out of ten, it's an assassin hired by the unscrupulous employer who wants to kill this innocent young man."

"The young man was merely forced to retaliate in self-defense..."

"You people are all so blind, you couldn't even see the trick to it!"

A chorus of agreement immediately erupted from the surrounding crowd.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, whispering and discussing amongst themselves, creating a scene as lively as a market.

These people are like reeds swaying in the wind.

Seeing that the situation had suddenly changed and the wind had shifted, he immediately and without hesitation changed his statement.

It was as if the previous doubts and slanders against Li Qingyuan had never happened.

......

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile tinged with mockery and disdain, as she thought to herself:

"In this dog-eat-dog, treacherous world, how can one prove their innocence?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"No matter how you try to explain yourself, there will always be people who nitpick and cause trouble for no reason."

"Only by possessing great strength can one silence those with ill intentions and prevent them from easily provoking you."

"Strength is the only irrefutable truth in this world!"
