The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Attacked in Mid-air

Besides, the four sects were rivals to begin with. Conflicts would be inevitable if they moved together, so it was better to split up.

"Brother Qin, be careful on your journey."

Nanle desperately wanted to travel with Qin Ya, but he was a member of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect now. If he did so, he would inevitably be criticized.

"You too, Nanle."

Qin Ya glanced at Ximen Yu not far away, took out a pile of Elixirs, and gave them to Nanle. His tone was solemn as he said, "Nanle, remember, you are a prodigy!"

You are a prodigy!

These four words struck deep into Nanle’s heart. There was a time when he was a human punching bag, despised and looked down upon. But now, he was a prodigy!

Perhaps there was still some insecurity in his heart, but now that the benefactor who had changed his life had said as much, an expression of determination appeared on his face.

"Brother Qin, I’ll remember!"

Nanle nodded heavily, then walked toward the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect’s group. Seeing this, Lingxi’s expression brightened, and she secretly gave Qin Ya a thumbs-up.

"Hmph. Done with your goodbyes?"

Ximen Yu, who already disliked Nanle, felt a surge of rage as he watched him say goodbye to the very person who had severely injured him not long ago. His expression turned icy.

"Let’s go."

Nanle ignored Ximen Yu and walked off into the distance with Lingxi.

’This guy...’

Ximen Yu’s pupils shrank slightly. He noticed a new quality about Nanle, one he had never possessed before. It was... confidence!

He felt his heart sink, and his wariness toward Nanle deepened.

Not far away, Qin Ya smiled, then also said his goodbyes to Li Peiyi. He followed Luox Xinyu, Leng Qiushan, and the others, picked a direction, and flew deep into the mountain range.

This mountain range was immeasurably vast, and it was home to countless Beast Kings. It was even more treacherous than the so-called perilous lands outside the Void Mausoleum. Qin Ya’s group had only been flying for a short while when they were attacked by a flock of flying Beast Kings.

Before them was a flock of black-feathered hawks, each hundreds of feet tall. A single flap of their wings could stir up terrifying gales, accompanied by a rain of countless feathers. Like a torrential downpour, the black feathers glinted with a metallic luster and shot toward Qin Ya, Luox Xinyu, and the others like sharp swords.

The power of those feathers was no less than a strike from an ordinary Martial Arts Extraordinary. Seeing this, Qin Ya unleashed his Four Symbols Mysteries, creating a curtain of light. The feathers bombarded it, creating a continuous metallic patter. Luox Xinyu and the others also used their own techniques, easily blocking the attack.

After the first wave of feathers, Qin Ya unleashed his Mysterious Speed. His body became a stream of light, streaking across the void. In the blink of an eye, he crossed hundreds of feet and appeared before the lead black hawk. He thrust his spear, as unstoppable as a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea!

The black hawk shrieked. Instead of dodging, it jabbed with its jet-black beak, which clashed violently with the tip of the Breaking Army Spear, sending a shower of sparks flying. This surprised Qin Ya. The Breaking Army Spear was a Spiritual Artifact, so its sharpness went without saying.

But for this unknown species of black hawk to be able to clash with the spear tip with its beak and remain unscathed... its physical strength was simply unbelievable. Gathering his thoughts, Qin Ya unleashed his Four Symbols Mysteries, forming a four-colored Power of Nature that coiled around the Breaking Army Spear. He thrust out, tearing through the void and stabbing into the black hawk’s abdomen.

"SCREECH..."

The black hawk let out a miserable shriek as large splashes of blood splattered down. Its glossy black feathers were stained crimson, a truly gruesome sight.

’Looks like the rest of its body isn’t so tough.’

Qin Ya smiled coolly. He yanked his spear free, swung it in a wide arc, and slammed it into the massive hawk’s head with immense power. With a loud BANG, its head exploded, a mixture of red and white bursting in the air like a ghastly flower.

This all took a long time to describe, but it happened in a flash.

Seeing this, the remaining black hawks showed no signs of retreating. Instead, they shrieked incessantly. The ferocity in their eyes intensified, even becoming bloodshot. Their feathers stood on end, radiating a chilling cold.

"Hmph, a bunch of suicidal beasts."

Leng Qiushan snorted coldly. The longsword in his hand unleashed streaks of golden Sword Light that cut through the void like bolts of silk, incredibly sharp, and killed a black hawk in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, his longsword trembled, and countless bolts of Sword Light shot out in all directions. Blossoms of blood erupted in the air and black feathers drifted down, but the scattered Sword Light lacked power and was clearly not enough to kill the black hawks, only severely injure them.

"These black hawks are strong. Each one is comparable to a Half-Step King. And their numbers aren’t decreasing; they’re actually increasing."

"Mm, that’s right. We’re surrounded."

"It’s pointless to get entangled with them. We should shake them off first."

"Leave it to me."

Luox Xinyu smiled faintly. A Guqin materialized horizontally in the void before her. Her slender fingers suddenly plucked the strings, and in an instant, a sharp, ear-piercing Zither Sound erupted!

Qin Ya and the others felt their Divine Thoughts tremble and immediately circulated their energy to resist.

They were secretly alarmed. ’This Sound Wave Mysteries is truly powerful. Not only is it untraceable, but it can also attack one’s Divine Thought. It’s one of the strongest among the top-tier Mysteries.’

At this moment, affected by the Zither Sound, the black hawks actually covered their heads with their wings, letting out sharp, pained cries. They flew in disarray. The group immediately seized the opportunity, their figures flashing as they broke through an opening in the encirclement.

"Miss Luox, let’s go!"

Seeing that everyone had nearly broken through, Luox Xinyu forcefully pulled on the zither strings. A wave of Zither Sound several times stronger than before erupted, causing many of the black hawks to lose control of their bodies and fall from the sky one by one.

After the Zither Sound faded, the black hawks recovered. They stared at the distant figures of Qin Ya’s group, their eyes filled with fury. Shrieking, they flapped their wings and gave chase.

"Tsk tsk, they’re really relentless."

The black hawks were extremely fast, much faster than an ordinary Half-Step King. They actually managed to catch up to Qin Ya, Luox Xinyu, and the others within a dozen breaths.

In an instant, wisps of purple lightning danced in the void. The violent energy converged in a flash, forming several Thunder Spears. At the same time, a dark aura erupted, like a black hole that devoured everything, emitting ominous fluctuations.

The Thunder Spears shot out like a torrential downpour! The dark aura also contracted to its limit in an instant, forming a Majestic Sword Qi that slashed out!

The Thunder Spears and the Dark Sword Qi slammed into the flock of black hawks, erupting in a blinding flash of purple-black light. The violent energy directly tore apart more than a dozen black hawks, while hundreds more were severely injured and could no longer fly.

The black hawks’ pursuit was immediately thwarted. Qin Ya turned and gave a slight smile to Gu Lin, who was coolly sheathing his longsword. Gu Lin nodded in return. Then, to avoid the flying beasts, the group temporarily gave up on Sky-Controlling and plunged into the mountain range below.
