Bai Yuqi has been refining his skills in the Bronze Bone Realm for years, his strength is not to be underestimated. Coupled with this sudden ambush, the power is truly remarkable.
Such an attack even made Liu Yuanhu, who stood behind Ge Qing, feel his heart tighten and his back go cold.
Qian Jin, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but laugh, "This guy is even sneakier than me sometimes! That move of his supposedly took down an injured Silver Bone Realm expert. This old man is doomed now."
Zhao Honglie’s heart stirred with anticipation as well.
Ge Qing has stood tall in Canghe County for years, his strength and background shrouded in mystery. If Bai Yuqi could help him eliminate Ge Qing, Zhao Honglie would naturally be pleased.
Ge Qing, facing the savage assault, remained unphased and shook his head, speaking with a trace of resignation, "Young people just won’t listen to advice, huh? Fine, then let me give you a chance to exercise your muscles."
Before his words finished, a resounding boom emanated from Ge Qing’s hand. The feather fan in his grasp instantly shattered, leaving only a steel needle.
"Whizz!"
Ge Qing’s fingers snapped forward, propelling the steel needle like an arrow, piercing through Bai Yuqi’s wrist.
"Ah!"
Bai Yuqi let out a shriek, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on his wrist, severing his tendons, and even his Soft Sword slipped to the ground, no longer in his grip.
This scene caused Zhao Honglie and Qian Jin’s pupils to constrict, their hearts shaken to the core.
Bai Yuqi, known for his obsessive and manic nature, grew even more furious after suffering this setback.
"Are you two just going to keep watching? Get over here and help me!"
Bai Yuqi took a few steps back, using his still-functional hand to rummage through his robes, pulling out a set of specially crafted white feathers.
At first glance, these feathers seemed ordinary, but at their sharp tips glimmered with a cold, metallic gleam of refined steel!
This was none other than Bai Yuqi’s specially prepared weapon for his ultimate move, the Thousand Feather Sakura Illusion Kill—Steel Feathers!
Don’t underestimate these seemingly unremarkable steel feathers. Bai Yuqi had specially purchased them from the Artifact Refiners of the Mad Saber Sect via an old flame of his. Though not classified as a Treasure, their power far exceeded that of ordinary weapons. Even a casual toss could make an average Bronze Bone Realm warrior hesitate to face them directly.
At Bai Yuqi’s words, Qian Jin and Zhao Honglie exchanged glances but made no immediate move.
Bai Yuqi hadn’t yet gauged Ge Qing’s limits. Both of them felt apprehensive.
Seeing their inaction, Bai Yuqi grew furious.
"We’re just one step away from securing those fortunes beyond imagination, and you two don’t want them? Damn it! Are we fighting or not? If not, I’ll leave this mess behind right now!"
Seeing Bai Yuqi genuinely angry, the two exchanged another glance, unwilling to give up.
If Canghe County wasn’t captured, Zhao Honglie would lose his chance to join the Cult of Fire, leaving him dissatisfied.
The feathers spread out in flight, yet seemed to be connected by an unseen force, flipping through the air under Bai Yuqi’s control as they shot toward Ge Qing.
The steel feathers exuded a faint red glow, their power immense. Liu Honglie and Qian Jin could feel the ominous aura emanating from them, making their hearts race.
"Heh, old man, to die under my first-rate martial technique, you should consider it an honor!"
Bai Yuqi’s face glowed with arrogance, a smile on his face as if he could already see Ge Qing riddled with holes.
Ge Qing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s so boastful about such a shoddy martial technique? Flashy and weak, it’s unworthy of admiration!"
Faced with the incoming swarm of steel feathers, Ge Qing merely extended his hand, softly uttering, "Stop!"
The moment the word left his lips, an invisible wave of energy burst from Ge Qing’s palm. The steel feathers suddenly froze mid-air, unable to advance or fall to the ground.
Ge Qing closed his open hand into a fist, and the scattered steel feathers immediately merged into one. Their sharp points now aimed directly at Bai Yuqi.
"This old man has lived long and prefers not to shed unnecessary blood. I’ll spare your lives if you retreat now. But if you remain obstinate—heh—then don’t blame me for breaking my principles!"
As he spoke, a tremendous aura emanated from Ge Qing.
The aura enveloped Qian Jin, Zhao Honglie, and Bai Yuqi, making the three feel as though a mountain was pressing down on them, rendering even breathing difficult.
The aura vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving the trio drenched in sweat. Without exchanging a word, they tacitly fled toward the outskirts of Canghe County at full speed.
