Chapter 551 550: Dumbfounded
Qin Ya's bones were shattered and his organs were damaged. His face was impossibly pale.
But a smile played on his lips. He had never felt better. It was as if he could control the world with a single thought.
This was... King's True Intent!!
He took out a Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Although its Medicinal Power was potent, the Evil Qi from the Giant Fiend rampaged through his body, preventing a swift recovery.
He frowned slightly, then took out a ball of Holy Liquid and swallowed it.
The Holy Liquid entered his body and transformed into dense Holy Power. In a single cycle, it completely purged the Evil Qi from his body. Working in tandem with the Medicinal Power, his severe injuries healed in the span of a breath, and his aura became even stronger than before.
With a flicker of his Divine Thought, his True Essence began to circulate. The Power of True Intent radiating from him instantly enveloped a ten-thousand-zhang radius. He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist!
In an instant, a vast and surging Power of Nature filled the space between heaven and earth. The bodies of the surrounding Evil Spirits—each over a hundred zhang tall and comparable to a King—shuddered and then exploded violently!
HISS...
Sima Yu and the other two instantly gasped, their faces filled with shock.
'Every single one of these Evil Spirits is comparable to a King.'
'And Qin Ya has only just comprehended True Intent, just ascended to the King realm.'
'Yet with a mere wave of his hand, he can slaughter hundreds of Evil Spirits.'
Sima Yu's eyes gleamed as he said with emotion, "What Qin Ya has comprehended is truly worthy of being one of the Top Profound Mysteries. He has only just advanced it to a True Intent, yet its power is already this terrifying."
Just then, a Great Fiend roared and lunged at Qin Ya.
SWOOSH...
A faint blue light of thunder was contained within the tip of his spear. It suddenly streaked across the void. In the instant they passed one another, the Great Fiend crashed to the ground, lifeless.
"ROAR, ROAR..."
Two more roars sounded. Qin Ya just chuckled softly as lightning raged and flames soared in the void. The Thunder-Fire Power circulated, condensing in the air to form two massive spear phantoms. Like Flood Dragons emerging from the sea, they suddenly shot forward.
BANG, BANG...
A gale erupted from the void, and the two Great Fiends were seen crashing to the ground!
His unparalleled might shook the heavens and the earth.
One step, two steps... in a flash, Qin Ya crossed the layers of the void and appeared before Sima Yu, Yun Feng, and their companion. "I will clear a path," he said coolly. "You leave first."
Sima Yu hesitated. "That's a Giant Fiend," he said. "In terms of combat power, it's comparable to a Half-Venerable Strong Person. You just had your breakthrough. Can you handle it?"
Qin Ya nodded. "Don't worry," he said calmly. "Worst case, I can still protect myself."
"Alright."
"Then we'll do as Qin Ya says."
Sima Yu and the others agreed. At the same time, they were still deeply shaken. The True Intent lingering around Qin Ya made their hearts tremble.
"Mysterious Technique: One Sword to Pacify the World!"
"Mysterious Technique: Raging Storm!"
"Mysterious Technique: Split Mountains and Sever Seas!"
The three Mysterious Techniques erupted, forming three colossal blasts of energy that swept out like a tornado, sending the surrounding Great Fiends flying.
Having opened a gap in the horde of Evil Spirits, the three exchanged a look, said a quick "take care" to Qin Ya, and then their figures blurred as they flew rapidly out of the basin.
At that moment, the Giant Fiend suddenly threw its head back and roared. Two streams of Yin Yang Evil Qi condensed, forming a massive pillar of light that surged forth with immense power!
"Your opponent... is me!"
Suddenly, Qin Ya appeared before the energy pillar. He took a deep breath as his Four Symbols True Intent erupted—the ice that froze the void, the fire that incinerated all things, the tyrannical and violent thunder, the all-pervasive wind. The four energies swirled around him and condensed!
They formed a terrifying surge of the Power of Nature!
The Power of Nature flowed along his spear, endless and self-renewing. Faintly, it began to manifest a domain of the Four Seasons, and the resulting energy fluctuations made the void tremble ceaselessly.
"Four Seasons Spear Technique—Perfection!"
He thrust his spear, and a majestic, four-colored radiance formed a torrent of unbelievably terrifying energy. An endless barrage of spear light met the Yin Yang Evil Qi head-on. The two forces collided violently, and in that instant, the world lost its color. The winds howled and clouds churned as a terrifying shockwave swept across the ground, kicking up monstrous, ripple-like waves of dust and sand. Dozens of surrounding mountain peaks collapsed and were obliterated in a flash!
When the dust settled, the area for ten thousand zhang in every direction was a scene of utter devastation. Not a single mountain, tree, or Evil Spirit remained—everything had been razed to the ground.
"ROAR..."
The Giant Fiend let out a low growl, the flames in its eyes flickering as if in confusion. How could this frail-looking little creature possibly unleash such terrifying energy? How could it actually be its equal!
Meanwhile, Qin Ya stood with his long spear, his True Intent permeating the void. All around him, thunder leaped, gales swept, and flames and frost churned...
His figure blurred. Combining his Mysterious Speed with the Shrinking Inches technique, he appeared before the Giant Fiend in an instant. He gripped his spear tightly as wisps of Thunder Flame Power danced upon it, which then formed a massive spear phantom that shot forward.
Two beams of energy shot from the Giant Fiend's eyes, slamming into the spear phantom...
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
The fierce battle raged on. One combatant was as massive as a mountain, its Evil Qi surging to the heavens. The other was slender, but his body flickered with the energies of lightning, fire, and more...
Though their sizes were vastly different, the combat power they unleashed was equally world-shaking. Their continuous barrage of attacks made the very mountains and rivers tremble.
Dodging a swipe of the Giant Fiend's claw, Qin Ya moved again. The Power of Nature flowed from his hands and coiled around his spear as he thrust it forward. But the grayish-white flames and black, frigid air around the Giant Fiend condensed to form Yin Yang Evil Qi, which blocked the spear's light!
Qin Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. He and the fiend had already exchanged several hundred blows, yet neither could gain the upper hand, resulting in a stalemate.
Just then, a nearby Great Fiend lunged at him, but Qin Ya blasted it away with a casual flick of his spear, using the Power of Nature. The Giant Fiend seized the opportunity to swat at him with its claw.
"Space... Solidify!!"
He froze the space, blocking the Giant Fiend for a crucial instant. His Four Symbols True Intent circulated, breaking the influence of the surrounding Evil Qi, and with a flicker of movement, he dodged the claw.
'This isn't getting me anywhere. I should leave for now.'
With that thought, Qin Ya stopped tangling with the Giant Fiend and turned to leave.
With his speed, the Giant Fiend was powerless to stop him. It could only watch as the tiny human swaggered off right in front of it, and it couldn't help but throw its head back and let out a long, furious roar.
He flew all the way back to the camp.
When someone saw Qin Ya return, their face immediately lit up with excitement.
"Qin Ya's back."
"Elder Sima, Cloud Sect Leader, Qin Ya is back!"
SWOOSH...
A dozen or so figures instantly appeared before Qin Ya.
Bi Xiaoyu came forward, looking as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. "Are you alright?" she asked.
Qin Ya smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
In the crowd, however, Dongmen Ming and Ning Bai snorted coldly, their eyes flashing with a vicious light. 'Damn it, how could that brat have possibly survived an attack from a Giant Fiend and so many Great Fiends? How is that possible?'
'Huh? Wait... Is that... True Intent!'
Dongmen Ming and Ning Bai's pupils shrank, their faces masks of shock. They had sensed the True Intent lingering around Qin Ya, and they were utterly dumbfounded.
