Chapter 1893: Chapter 1890: Cheng Minxue Emerges from Seclusion

With a splutter, the longsword pierced into the body of a young member of the Cheng family nearby. The youth looked at Cheng Shang with a bewildered expression. He had thought about his own death but never imagined it would be Cheng Shang who would end his life.

"Don’t blame me, blame Cheng Minxue!" Cheng Shang’s face twisted with a devilish grin.

Thud, the Cheng family youth fell to the ground, breathless. Cheng Shang said coldly, "Are you still going to be stubborn now? Do you really think I won’t kill? If you don’t speak, this will be your fate!"

Cheng Shang seemed completely possessed, grabbing another young man and shouting, "Speak, where have you hidden Cheng Minxue?"

Fear flickered in the eyes of that young man. At that moment, the elder behind him whispered sternly, "Cheng Fang, you are a Cheng family member, the unyielding blood of the Cheng family flows within you!"

The youth called Cheng Fang gritted his teeth, "I will never tell you, you disgrace to the Cheng family!"

"Then go die!" Cheng Shang revealed a sinister smile and plunged the longsword into Cheng Fang’s chest. Cheng Fang’s body stiffened and he fell to the ground, blood pooling everywhere.

Cheng Shang’s gaze fell upon the elder who had spoken earlier: "Old thing, now it’s your turn. Keep your mouth shut, or I’ll kill you bit by bit!"

The elder laughed heartily: "Cheng Shang, stop pretending to be strong, put away your tricks. I’ve faced countless life-and-death moments, do you think you can threaten me? If it weren’t for the fundamental damage I suffered, causing the loss of my cultivation, someone like you wouldn’t even survive a slap from me!"

"Old thing, still being stubborn, let me see how tough you really are!" Cheng Shang said, infuriated and embarrassed, aiming his longsword at the elder’s eyes, intending to blind him first.

Meanwhile, the Sky Cloud Sect Master watched this scene with interest. The Cheng family was already like a fish in a barrel; he quite enjoyed watching such self-destruction, as it satisfied his twisted pleasure.

Though the Cheng family was stubborn, he believed there had to be some among them who feared death. As he killed them one by one, someone would eventually break down and reveal Cheng Minxue’s whereabouts.

But just as Cheng Shang’s sword tip was about to pierce the elder’s eyes, the whole peak suddenly shook, and a powerful aura surged from the foot of the mountain.

Cheng Shang felt a huge force emanate from the longsword in his hand. His hand weakened, the longsword slipped, and the immense force invaded his body, sending him flying.

With a spurt, Cheng Shang coughed up fresh blood and fell heavily to the ground, as if his internal organs had shifted.

"What’s going on?" The Sky Cloud Sect Master’s brow furrowed.

At that moment, a bright light flashed, and a valiant silhouette appeared in front of the elder—Cheng Minxue!

"Young lady, why have you come out?" The elder’s face changed drastically: "You must leave quickly!"

"Yes, young lady, you’re their target, you can’t let them capture you!"

Listening to the Cheng family trying to persuade her, Cheng Minxue felt moved, her eyes a bit red. Although she had been in a coma, she wasn’t completely oblivious to external information, but was unable to control herself due to receiving the Wordless Heavenly Scripture’s inheritance.

"As the daughter of the Family Head, how can I abandon everyone and survive alone in this moment?" Cheng Minxue took a deep breath, "Don’t persuade me anymore; I will definitely protect everyone!"

At this moment, Cheng Minxue’s cultivation had reached the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm. After absorbing the inheritance of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, her strength surged, giving her the confidence to step out.

"You’re Cheng Minxue?" The Sky Cloud Sect Master scrutinized Cheng Minxue, squinting as he spoke, "So it’s true what they say, ’hard work pays off.’ Since you’ve appeared, come with us obediently, or else the Cheng family won’t have a scrap left!"

Cheng Minxue sneered, "If you want to capture me, let’s see if you’re capable!"

"Interesting, reliable information says you were only of the Sea of Gods Realm before, but now you’ve crossed a major realm to reach the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm. This must be your trump card, right?" The Sky Cloud Sect Master said indifferently, "But I suspect this is due to the Wordless Heavenly Scripture?"

"Although you’re now at the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm, how much battle power can you actually wield with your current abilities?" The Sky Cloud Sect Master said disdainfully.

Cheng Minxue took a deep breath, "Then come and try!"

The Sky Cloud Sect Master laughed, then spoke to the Heaven’s Gate Expert beside him, "Go, capture Cheng Minxue for me!"

"Yes, sire!" The nearby Heaven’s Gate Expert, also in the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm, flickered forward towards Cheng Minxue.

A peculiar gleam flashed in Cheng Minxue’s eyes as her silhouette flickered, appearing in mid-air. The expert who ambushed her was also in mid-air, and after they clashed once, each retreated dozens of steps.

"Huh?" The Heaven’s Gate Expert was surprised. Having used his best stealth assassination skill, he was puzzled that she had seen through it.

"In that case, I’ll crush you with absolute strength!" The Heaven’s Gate Expert took a deep breath, "Thunder Prison, Thunder Dragon’s Pride!"

With a rumbling roar, a massive purple Thunder Prison manifested centered around the Heaven’s Gate Expert, with five enormous thunder dragons howling at the sky, seeming to crush their opponent with immense pressure.

But before he could relax, Cheng Minxue’s crisp voice echoed from the opposite side, "Thunder Prison, Thunder Dragon’s Pride!"

With a rumbling roar, a Thunder Prison identical to his appeared around Cheng Minxue, her Thunder Prison’s Power of Laws noticeably purer and more fierce.

"How is this possible!" The Heaven’s Gate Expert couldn’t help but exclaim, "How can you know my Thunder Prison?"

"It’s just the application of the Lightning Attribute Law; what’s so difficult?" Cheng Minxue said proudly, "I’m going to defeat you with the same technique completely!"

The Heaven’s Gate Expert’s face showed anger, how could he, a veteran expert, be disdained by a young girl, making it hard to suppress his anger.

"Fine, fine! I don’t know how you stole my Thunder Prison, but I’ll show you, a fake is still a fake; you’ll never beat me! Thunder Dragon Sky Shattering Strike!"

As his words fell, five enormous thunder dragons spiraled and roared, rushing towards Cheng Minxue. Wherever they passed, space trembled, and the intense Lightning Attribute Law seemed to obliterate everything.
