Chapter 609: Chapter 269: Please Spare My Master
"Who are you? How dare you block me!"
Ming Hu glanced sideways at Qin Gengyun and said coldly.
At this moment, Qin Gengyun still appeared as He Zhiqiu, so Ming Hu didnât recognize him. Moreover, Ming Hu had already sensed that his junior sister was injured, and there were two female cultivators in that room.
It seemed like his junior sister was being held hostage.
And the burly man in front of him appeared to be in cahoots with them.
In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual pressure erupted from Ming Huâs body!
Qin Gengyunâs body suddenly went soft, nearly collapsing to the ground. He looked up at Ming Hu in shock:
"Nascent Soul Sixth-Layer?!"
Not only Qin Gengyun, but Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr, who were hiding in the distance, also felt the immense pressure, pressing them directly to the ground.
"Oh my! Who is this?!"
"Oh! Caihe, I feel like my bones are going to break, I canât take it anymore!"
The two cried out miserably, seeing Su Xin, Wei Wan, and Mo Xiaolan rushing out from two nearby rooms.
However, Mo Xiaolan couldnât move after just two steps, and Wei Wan struggled to walk. Only Su Xin moved more freely; she saw Ming Hu and quickly shouted:
"Senior Brother Ming, Iâm Su Xin from Zhenyang Sectâs Danxia Peak, do you still recognize me?"
Ming Hu turned his head, saw Su Xin, and snorted coldly:
"What about Zhenyang Sect? If you dare imprison my junior sister, Iâll kill you all!"
Then he looked at Qin Gengyun, who was blocking his way: "Move!"
Qin Gengyun trembled all over, and spoke with difficulty: "Taoist Friend Ming, my wife and sister are inside healing Su Hongling, please wait for a moment."
Since his cultivation had reached a certain level, he hadnât encountered a situation where he was suppressed by someoneâs mere spiritual pressure for a long time.
He didnât expect this Su Honglingâs admirer to be so formidable.
Nascent Soul Sixth-Layer, a whole major realm higher than him!
Even the top disciples like Su Xin, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, and Chen Yunfeng were only at most Nascent Soul Third-Layer.
Ming Hu was also a top disciple, yet his cultivation was so much higher.
It seemed that although the Thunder Sword Sect had fewer disciples, their top-tier combat power far outstripped Zhenyang Sectâs.
Qin Gengyun had no enmity with Ming Hu, so explaining the situation should suffice, with no need for conflict.
Yet upon hearing his words, Ming Huâs spiritual pressure did not abate in the slightest and he strode forward:
"If they are healing her, then I will guard for my junior sister by the side."
Qin Gengyun explained: "Taoist Friend Ming, their healing method is quite special, and currently, all three women are unclothed inside. You canât enter."
Ming Hu stared at him, his voice growing colder: "Nonsense, Iâve never heard of any healing method requiring undressing! Do you intend to harm my junior sister?! Move aside!"
With a wave of his hand, an overwhelming wave of spiritual power rushed toward Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyunâs pupils narrowed, his whole body swelled with muscle, the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame burst forth, and he unfurled the Sunflame Cloak with all his might, raising his arms in front of him.
BOOM!!
With an earth-shattering roar, Qin Gengyun bellowed, his arms clashing with the air, a force unleashed by Ming Huâs casual wave, invisible yet terrifyingly powerful!
Qin Gengyun turned pale, sweat beading on his forehead, his legs nearly collapsing, yet he did not retreat a single step.
"A man indeed," Ming Hu remarked, "but you should not have laid hands on my junior sister."
A dragonâs roar echoed as a peculiar giant sword, a zhang in length and half a zhang wide, appeared in Ming Huâs hand.
Su Xin was shocked: "Thunderclap Sword?!"
Among the disciples below the elders in Feiyun Sect, besides geniuses like Su Hongling and Ye Xiyue, Ming Huâs cultivation and combat power were the highest.
His renowned magical artifact "Thunderclap Sword" was famous throughout the world.
This sword was incredibly wide, lacking a sharp edge, but in Ming Huâs hands, it swept like a mountain, stars falling, its power terrifying.
At this moment, he had drawn this famed magical artifact, clearly intending to go all out.
"No!"
Mo Xiaolan cried out from behind, but her spiritual power hadnât recovered, and the vast difference in cultivation, coupled with Ming Huâs spiritual pressure, left her immobilized, only capable of watching in anxious distress.
Clang!
Wei Wan drew the Qingbo Sword, and Su Xin unsheathed the Gentle Heart Sword, addressing Ming Hu:
"Senior Brother Ming, I assure you, Junior Brother He and the others have absolutely no intention of harming Fairy Su. There must be some misunderstanding. Donât act rashly, please donât harm the peace between our Zhenyang Sect and the Thunder Sword Sect!"
Ming Hu turned his head to glance at Su Xin, sneering: "I remember now, you were also at the Celestial Ridge Mountain battle, but neither you nor your master strived to your utmost, which led to my master and junior sisterâs severe injuries. I might as well settle this score today!"
Su Xin hesitated, then a bitter smile appeared: "So be it, what happened yesterday, the result today. Junior Sister Wei, donât intervene."
Su Xinâs body radiated pure white light, her cultivation rising to Nascent Soul Third-Layer, leaping in front of Qin Gengyun, facing Ming Hu:
"Senior Brother Ming, at the Celestial Ridge Mountain battle, my mind was conflicted, indeed causing a gap in our siege formation, but it was not related to my master. You arenât wrong to seek revenge on me; today I will take your strike. Could you perhaps calm down and refrain from harming others?"
Ming Hu laughed heartily: "No wonder junior sister dislikes Zhenyang Sect, you are all indeed hypocrites. Do you think Iâll relent because you lower your stance with a flirtatious look?"
Ming Huâs tiger eyes suddenly widened, his giant sword swinging abruptly, lightning flashing in the sky, instantly entering the giant sword.
The Thunderclap Sword transformed into a gigantic lightning-ensconced dragon, roaring as it charged at Su Xin.
Ming Hu didnât truly intend to kill Su Xin; he merely could not withstand Zhenyang Sectâs self-proclaimed righteous leader facade, wanting to embarrass this Danxia Peak senior sister.
However, Su Xin did not evade.
Suddenly, Su Xin smiled, the white light on her body disappeared, the Gentle Heart Sword clattered to the ground, her eyes closed.
"Senior Sister!"
"Senior Sister Su Xin!!"
Wei Wan, Mo Xiaolan, Xu Caihe, and Zhou LingâEr turned pale, wanting to rush forward to aid, but unable to move.
"Senior Sister Su!" Qin Gengyun wanted to rush to help fend off the attack, but he had already expended his spiritual power just blocking the prior blow, his legs weakened, and he couldnât move.
Ming Hu stared wide-eyed, shouting harshly: "Do you seek death?!"
He hadnât anticipated this woman not only not dodging but even abandoning defense, willing to take his hit.
Ming Hu hurriedly tried to redirect the Thunderclap Sword, but it was too close to Su Xin to entirely avoid contact.
BOOM!!
The side of the lightning-wreathed dragon collided with Su Xin, her dignified and graceful body flying like a kite with a broken string, scattering a rain of blood mid-air.
Under everyoneâs shocked gaze, Su Xin slowly fell to the ground, blood continuously oozing from her soft red lips, staining the ground bright red.
"Senior Sister!!"
The spiritual pressure in the air disappeared, and everyone rushed over, only to see Su Xin lying on the ground, bleeding from everywhere.
The softness in her eyes was fading away.
"Senior Sister, please no!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were sobbing uncontrollably, unable to dare touch Su Xinâs wounded body, fearing to worsen her injuries.
Wei Wanâs vacant eyes filled with tears: "Senior Sister, why, why?"
Mo Xiaolan stood aside, her eyes red, fists clenched.
Ming Hu stood dazedly, "You really didnât dodge? Isnât Zhenyang Sect filled with hypocritical cowards? How could this be?"
Qin Gengyunâs eyes turned red as well, crouching down to hold Su Xin in his arms:
"Senior Sister, Susu knows the Healing Holy Technique, she can save you, hold on!"
A blood-stained hand grasped Qin Gengyunâs arm, Su Xin smiled with difficulty, her face calm. She looked at Ming Hu:
"Senior Brother Ming, weâre even now."
Then she turned to Qin Gengyun: "Junior Brother He... I blocked a sword for you today, ahem... if my master truly has sinned... please spare her."
