Qingfeng Li’s right hand gripped hard, and with a cracking sound, Alad’s fist was broken and blood gushed out, exposing the white bones inside.
Alad screamed and his face twisted with pain.
“Qingfeng Li, release my fist.” Alad looked at Qingfeng Li as his face distorted with fury.
His fist was broken by Qingfeng Li and the white bones were exposed in the air. Sharp pain distorted his face.
“Let you go? Aren’t you naive?” With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li continued his hard grip.
Crack! Crack! Crack…
With loud cracking sounds, Alad’s wrists, arms, and chest bones were all shattered by Qingfeng Li.
Alad screamed pathetically when all his bones were shattered. He dropped onto the ground like a pile of soft noodles.
Black Puppy curled its lips, saying, “The screams are too harsh on my ears. Kill him.”
Sky-Devouring Snake nodded his agreement. Neither of them liked Alad.
“Whoever dares to block me must die.” With a faint smile, Qingfeng Li walked over and splattered Alad’s head with his right foot. Then he walked toward the eighteenth floor.
Without sparing a glance at Alad, Qingfeng Li left his body where it was.
Saladin and the woman in black on the eighteenth floor had seen everything through the dharma mirror. They furrowed their eyebrows tightly, furious at Qingfeng Li’s cruelty and cold-bloodedness.
“Damned Qingfeng Li shouldn’t have killed Alad. I won’t forgive him for it.” Saladin was so enraged that his eyebrows stood vertical.
Beside him, the woman in black released sharp sword aura which formed a black light column shooting up high into the clouds. She stood there like a goddess of murder, ready to kill and destroy everything before her.
Boom!
The gate to the eighteenth floor of the Pope’s Pagoda was pushed open and Qingfeng Li strode in.
WIth his first glance, Qingfeng Li saw Saladin and the woman in black who were standing in the center of the hall.
And they both were wearing the clothes of the representatives of the Sky God, both of them emitting overwhelming aura.
“Exceutioner, go and kill Qingfeng Li,” Saladin told the woman in black.
She nodded and walked toward Qingfeng Li.
Black Puppy frowned and warned, “Qingfeng Li, the woman in black is the Chief Judge of the Pope’s Pagoda and her power is only comparable to that of Saladin himself. She is very powerful, and her cross sword can cut open time and space.”
Qingfeng Li nodded, knowing that any person who could stand beside Saladin was powerful. She must be more powerful that the red-cloaked cardinals.
Besides, he sensed a danger from the woman in black, a rarity for Qingfeng Li.
The woman in black walked to face him, looking at him with indifference, arrogance, and contempt.
She extended her right forefinger and drew a cross in the air.
The cross condensed into two sword auras, one black and the other white. They dashed toward Qingfeng Li with such great speed that even time had stopped.
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed sharply. He tried to shift his body to dodge but his body was frozen for a second.
In the battle of self-cultivators, one second could decide life and death and the attack from the woman in black carried unimaginable strength.
Qingfeng Li knew that he couldn’t dodge because his rival had frozen time and space with the cross sword technique and thus restricted his body movement.
The only thing Qingfeng Li could do was defend.
He channeled the vital essence in his body and formed a golden protective light shield which shined like a mini burning sun.
The cross sword technique was so powerful that it cut through the golden protective light shield, causing it to dissipate in the air like sparkling golden light.
Then the cross sword technique continued forward and cut a cross-shaped wound in his chest. Blood gushed out of the wound and his white bones and red flesh were exposed to the air.
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed sharply, and he spewed a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body was freed.
Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li retreated quickly.
Black Puppy had warned him about the great power of the cross techniques.
Qingfeng Li had prepared himself carefully for it but was still wounded by his rival.
Hurriedly, he took out a healing elixir pill from the interspatial ring and put it into his mouth.
The elixir transformed into an intense burst of medicinal energy and travelled down his throat and into his meridians, healing the wound on his chest.
“Your skin and muscles are really hard. Anyone who was attacked by my cross sword technique would have been cut into four pieces. But you were just wounded by it.” Surprise appeared in the eyes of the woman in black.
The cross sword technique enjoyed great reputation in the world of western self-cultivators and its power was just next to that of the Pope. It possessed unimaginable power which could freeze time and space.
Qingfeng Li smiled coldly and chilling lights flashed in his eyes.
Although he was wounded by the cross sword technique, he had understood the attacking method of it, which was freezing time and space before cutting the enemy’s body open with powerful sword aura.
Qingfeng Li had cultivated the third Conqueror’s Finger – Ceasing Time, which could stop time and space for one second. It had the same effect as the cross sword technique of the woman in black.
But in the previous attack, Qingfeng Li didn’t have time to use it. Now he would give the woman in black a surprise with this trump card of his.
As a return of her attack, Qingfeng Li decided to freeze her body this time.
Instead of retreating, Qingfeng Li initiated the attack. As fast as a flash of lightning, he was before the woman in black.
“Third Finger Ceases Time.” With a yell, Qingfeng Li activated the Conquer Chant Technique and formed a beam of blue light on his right forefinger.
ointing out his right forefinger, Qingfeng Li shot the light beam onto the woman in black.
