The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Chapter 465: Chapter 464: He Is My Rival

The crowd watched the two locked in a fierce battle. Feeling the War Intent that stirred their own blood, they couldn’t help but be stunned. ’They actually know each other?’

Leng Qiushan’s brow furrowed slightly. "I never thought Brother Qin would know someone from Divine Sword Mountain," he said. "And this woman’s cultivation and combat power... she’s actually stronger than I am."

Gu Lin cradled his longsword, his expression cold. A faint dark aura emanated from him, and a hidden War Intent flickered in his eyes. "Divine Sword Mountain truly lives up to its reputation," he said. "Even if I went all out, I doubt I could defeat that woman."

Meanwhile, the members of Divine Sword Mountain were equally shocked.

"What’s going on? Miss Li knows that person from Kunyun Palace."

"That young man is so strong. He can actually keep up with Li Peiyi in such an intense fight."

"Is he a friend or an enemy?"

High above, Xu Zhenhong watched the battle below with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. "Elder Qin actually knows someone from Divine Sword Mountain," he said. "He never mentioned this."

At his side, the expressions of Yuee Hongyi and Divine Sword Mountain’s Elder, Helian Lie, turned strange the moment Xu Zhenhong spoke. Yuee Hongyi asked directly, "You old fiend, what do you mean, calling that young man ’Elder’?"

"Exactly what it sounds like." Xu Zhenhong smiled faintly. "Qin Ya isn’t just a disciple of our Kunyun Palace; he’s also our youngest Elder."

Upon hearing this, both of them shuddered. Their eyes, shining with a keen light, fixed upon the young man battling below, as if trying to see right through him. They knew Xu Zhenhong wasn’t one to make baseless claims, and Kunyun Palace certainly wouldn’t appoint a mere boy as an Elder without a very good reason.

However, no matter how they looked, they couldn’t see anything in Qin Ya that warranted the title of Elder. His Talent was incredible, yes, but his Cultivation was only at the Celestial Human Realm. So on what grounds had Kunyun Palace appointed him?

’Unfathomable. Truly unfathomable.’

At that moment, the battle between Qin Ya and Li Peiyi grew even more intense.

BOOM! Qin Ya was blasted back several dozen yards. Li Peiyi somersaulted more than ten times in midair, dissipating the immense force. The moment she landed, she unleashed a wave of Sword Qi that shot toward the heavens. Seeing this, Qin Ya stood his ground, planting his long spear. In the void above, bolts of Thunder leaped and crackled, condensing into one Thunder Spear after another.

The Thunder Spears and Sword Qi collided, stirring up a veritable storm!

Leng Qiushan and the others were involuntarily forced back several steps by the Energy Aftermath.

"One Sword Celestial Trace!"

The powerful exchange had just ended when Li Peiyi’s True Essence surged. A brilliant light erupted from her beautiful eyes as a domineering Profound Mystery manifested around her. The resulting fluctuation was incredibly sharp, as if there was nothing in this world it could not slash through.

This Profound Mystery... could slash through anything!

’This is... a Top Profound Mystery!’

Qin Ya’s heart tightened. He hadn’t expected Li Peiyi to have comprehended such a terrifying Mysterious Power. Still, he was fearless. A Profound Mystery even more domineering and savage than hers manifested—it was Destruction, a power that felt as if it could annihilate the world itself!

"Bring it on!"

As the Mysteries of Destruction erupted, Qin Ya’s True Essence became tinged with a faint, jet-black luster that spread to Breaking Army. The Spiritual Artifact trembled with excitement, letting out a series of high-pitched hums, as if it yearned for boundless slaughter!

Li Peiyi said nothing, but her actions spoke volumes. With a turn of her blade, she charged. The longsword, imbued with the Profound Mystery of the Slash, collided with the Black Spear, which was wreathed in the Mysteries of Destruction. In that instant, a violent squall erupted, sweeping out in all directions!

Razor-sharp Sword Qi carved deep gashes into the floor. An immense black light from the spear surged outward like a tidal wave, annihilating every obstacle in its path. In an instant, the entire grand hall was left in shambles.

Leng Qiushan, Luox Xinyu, and the others had known something was wrong the moment the two unleashed their Profound Mysteries. Their figures flickered, and in an instant, they shot hundreds of yards away, barely escaping the blast radius. They watched on in horror, their minds reeling.

"This boy... he’s also comprehended a Top Profound Mystery."

High above, Divine Sword Mountain’s Elder, Helian Lie, couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. Not far away, Xu Zhenhong curled his lip. "What’s the big deal?" he said. "Didn’t that disciple of your Divine Sword Mountain comprehend a Top Profound Mystery, too? Don’t make such a fuss."

’If you knew that Qin Ya has comprehended two Top Profound Mysteries and one first-rate one,’ he thought, ’you’d be so shocked your jaw would hit the floor.’

At their side, Yuee Hongyi snorted, her expression darkening. After all, the strongest person she had brought with her had only comprehended a first-rate Profound Mystery. In terms of talent, they were already a step behind both Divine Sword Mountain and Kunyun Palace.

"Everyone, this farce has gone on long enough."

Yuee Hongyi snorted. Her figure flickered, and ignoring the roiling energies of destruction and severance, she appeared directly above Qin Ya and Li Peiyi.

"Stop!" she barked. In an instant, the will of an Era-Defining King enveloped the entire world, pressing down on the two combatants like the weight of two great mountains.

Li Peiyi, who had been thoroughly enjoying the fierce battle, frowned in clear dissatisfaction.

"What a killjoy."

She actually disregarded the authority of an Era-Defining King, erupting with her own sharp aura to resist the suppressive pressure. Her action made everyone gasp.

’This woman is actually courting death!’

’To actually provoke an Era-Defining King!’

Qin Ya, in contrast, stood holding his spear, his expression perfectly composed. The King’s pressure seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. He looked at Li Peiyi with a trace of resignation and sighed. "Miss Li, you’re as unwilling to admit defeat as ever."

Seemingly provoked by Li Peiyi’s defiance, Yuee Hongyi’s brow twitched and her pressure intensified. In response, the sharp aura around Li Peiyi reached a new peak, causing her longsword to hum ceaselessly as it unleashed a heaven-storming Sword Intent!

"Good. Very good. What a foolish, reckless girl." Instead of anger, a cold smile touched Yuee Hongyi’s lips. Just as she was about to teach the girl a lesson, Helian Lie and Xu Zhenhong arrived.

"Elder Yuee, please calm your anger. There’s no need to lower yourself to a junior’s level."

Helian Lie spoke, simultaneously releasing a gentle Martial Arts True Intent that enveloped Li Peiyi, shielding her from Elder Yuee’s True Intent.

"Hmph. Divine Sword Mountain has produced quite the promising talent."

Yuee Hongyi snorted again but didn’t press the issue. She retracted her True Intent, and the pressure blanketing the area receded like the tide.

"On behalf of Peiyi, I thank Elder Yuee for her magnanimity."

Helian Lie smiled warmly, then turned his gaze to Qin Ya. "May I ask your name, young friend?" he asked curiously. "And what is your connection to Peiyi?"

Qin Ya smiled faintly. "Miss Li is an old friend of mine," he said.

"Is that so? Then why did you start fighting the moment you saw each other?"

When asked this question, Qin Ya shot Li Peiyi a helpless look, as if to say, ’When are you going to change this habit of fighting me on sight?’

"He’s my rival. It’s as simple as that."

Li Peiyi said suddenly, her tone indifferent. Hearing this, Helian Lie feigned a look of sudden understanding, while in the distance, the other Divine Sword Mountain disciples could only shake their heads and smile wryly.
