Chapter 464 Part 2: Qiao Xin (2)
This time, the five major Immortal Gates joining forces clearly have their own separate thoughts, not in agreement.
The performance of the Great Dao Sect…actually just made things a bit more obvious.
It’s just that the attack from the Great Dao Sect has slowed down, clearly giving Qiao Xin a chance to catch his breath.
His body, which was twisted just now, is now rapidly healing at an amazing speed.
As long as his powerful blood and energy are not consumed too much, he can continuously use the Shape Changing Skill to control his body, allowing high-speed healing of wounds.
It’s not only the Long Life Gate.
In the night sky to the west, soaring sword energy pierces through the air, coming from sword cultivators riding flying swords from the Tongtian Sword Sect at the source of the Sky Piercing River in the northwest.
In the north, two places lit up with rainbow light.
On Qingxuan Road in Bei Province, cultivators from Liangyi Sect in the east arrived almost at the same time.
"It’s quite lively behind the scenes."
The leader of Great Dao Sect snorted.
It was obvious that the other four Immortal Gates did not just coincidentally arrive one after another at this moment.
They had been approaching for a while, maybe even spying in secret. When the leader of Long Life Gate appeared, they finally showed themselves.
Apart from the recent Great Dao Sect in Zhong Province, the teams of the other four Immortal Gates were not very numerous.
At this moment, the five Immortal Gates gathered together, with the five Soul Changing Taoist Lords, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.
The sky was covered with dense Immortal Boats coming from all directions.
The strong pressure made the old soldiers look worried, with frowns covered in dark clouds.
Lu Yanbei sighed softly as he leaned on the stone sword in his hand.
He had been practicing the "Human Path Sutra" for a short time, recovering his energy and blood took a lot of time, not to mention breaking through the superb rank of spiritual refining.
Just now, he had already wielded a sword on the battlefield, killing two Nascent Soul cultivators who were relatively close.
But for the entire battlefield, it was indeed just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention that after wielding a sword, Lu Yanbei’s spirit had been exhausted, and he had almost no strength left to fight.
"The Five Great Immortal Gates appearing together is a grand sight never heard of before. Even in the Inhuman War that destroyed the fate of the Great Yan Imperial Court in the past, only the Great Dao Sect participated."
Lu Yanbei’s long-held worries had come true.
The arrival of the Five Great Immortal Gates was a powerful enemy that they could not handle at this moment.
To be precise, the five Immortal Gates did not pay any attention to them.
Throughout, it was the leaders of Long Life Gate and Great Dao Sect who wanted to exterminate the Qiao family members. The strong enemy that the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates considered was the Qiao family members, not him.
They were just the fish caught in the crossfire when the city gate caught fire.
Whether alive or dead, no one really cared.
Just at this moment.
The sect leader of Long Life Gate also sensed that something was wrong with the situation.
The five monks were desperate for water, and when the five Immortal Gates arrived together, it briefly eased the tension of the battle.
The sect leader of Long Life Gate also naturally understood the urgency of the situation. As one of the initiators of this alliance, he needed to show his sincerity and demonstrate his commitment:
"Qiao Xin is a formidable opponent, with an incredibly strong vitality."
"Friend, I will help you."
The leader of Long Life Gatesect pinched a spell, and a dark thunder struck diagonally, hitting Qiao Xin and leaving him burnt black.
Seeing this, the sect leaders of Tongtian Sword Sect and two other sects were shocked awake as if from a dream.
"Friend is right."
"We are here to eliminate all members of the Qiao family to prevent future troubles."
"Friend, I will also help!"
At that moment, the five Great Taoist Lords finally raised their hands together.
They didn’t need to use the powerful treasures like the leader of Great Dao Sect.
Just by using spells from the Soul Changing Stage, they had incredible powers to move mountains and change the colors of the sky and earth.
When the five great Immortal Gate joined the battle together.
In the blink of an eye.
The body that once diverted flooding in the Southwest Province, known as "Qiao Xin", was pierced by dozens of flying swords from the Tongtian Sword Sect cultivators, and it no longer moved.
"Senior Qiao Duanwang?! "
"Another member of the Qiao family’s martial arts has sacrificed."
The crowd couldn’t help but cry out in sorrow and sigh.
This body used to be "Qiao Xin" before, and later, before Qiao Mu went to the Western Province, he changed his face and identity to a name called "Qiao Duanwang."
Even with the original Qiao Mu, who was over ten thousand years old, personally manipulating, it was still very difficult to show off in front of so many Soul Changing and Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Qiao Duanwang…..a member of the Qiao family has died?"
Longevity Gate sect leader quickly summoned a bronze bell to cover his body, and instantly used his spiritual awareness to scan the surrounding area for miles.
Great Dao Sect sect leader was surprised for a moment, then also waved his Daoist robe, creating a faint halo around his body, imitating the other leader.
The other cultivators had similar reactions.
It wasn’t that they were overly timid and cautious… It was just that the Qiao family members were too mysterious and strange, making them wary.
No matter how hard they investigated… Even the sect leader of Liangyi Sect, who used a magical mirror for investigation, could not detect the hidden Qiao family elder.
"No Qiao family elder in sight?"
"Really none?"
Not even the Great Dao Sect sect leader and others.
Even the martial artists of Peach Blossom Villa felt something strange.
For a long time, the Qiao family members’ routines were more regular than a worker’s work hours.
If a younger member meets a tragic end, the elders of the family will seek revenge without fail.
But this time, why did it happen like this…
"Why haven’t any of the Qiao family elders appeared…" someone couldn’t help but speak out, searching around like Immortal Gate cultivators, trying to find traces of the Qiao family elders.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, these martial artists sensed a little suspicion from themselves.
In recent years, Qiao family members have always risked their lives, always dying at the forefront of the battle against Immortal Gate.
The Qiao family members were mysterious, reliable, and powerful, to the extent that some martial artists, even after all this time, had not realized that… they had started to rely a little on the Qiao family members in their hearts.
Even if the sky falls, there will always be someone to support it.
This position has always been taken care of by the Qiao family members.
But this time…
An idea that no one dared to speak out loud silently grew in everyone’s minds, and they looked at each other.
Finally, the leader of the Great Dao Sect looked intently and frowned, saying:
"Could it be… that the Qiao family’s patriarch has already perished?"
"True, under the sky, where would there be so many fearless martial arts experts?"
These words made everyone feel a sudden darkness in their hearts.
Yes… all living beings in this world have the instinct to survive.
Being fearless of death is actually a rare quality that goes against human nature and usually should not be common.
Martial arts experts are the same, it’s not like they are like spring onions in the ground, where they are cut once and grow back immediately, right?
The Qiao family members actually have many strange and unusual things about them.
But there were just… too many of them, almost like a common trait passed down through generations.
To the point where this abnormality had become a common understanding, causing people not to think too much about it…
Is there a possibility that the Qiao family members could die out too?
When this thought arose, their hearts were immediately filled with an unstoppable feeling of gloom…
While the cultivators of the five major Immortal Gates were all excited.
"Once again, a rule of the Qiao family members has been broken… Although the reason is unknown, this is a good thing!"
With the rule broken, the fear of the Qiao family members among the cultivators of the five major Immortal Gates unconsciously lessened.
The leader of the Great Dao Sect waved his hand, and the Meteorite Fire Mark in his hand flew out again, rapidly expanding and descending from the sky.
"Everyone, come with me—–"
"Kill the troublemaker from Peach Blossom Villa, Qiao Xin!"
The leader of the Tongtian Sword Sect raised his hand and a golden sword pellet turned into a thousand flying swords in the air, raining down.
The five powerful Soul Changing Taoist Lords took action one after another, showing no mercy, casting their spells with different colored lights enveloping Qiao Xin completely.
In that moment.
Suddenly, a strong wind rose up.
It was a wild wind blowing in from the north.
The five Soul Changing Taoist Lords felt the urge to act, but they did not stop their attacks.
Within the bright light of the spells shining in the night sky.
A white rainbow crossed the sky, bringing strong winds and clearing the dark clouds in the sky.
A figure approached with great force, breaking through the air.
He stood in front of the flesh clone of Qiao Xin.
Over ten thousand years of accumulated True strength was released without reserve, the pale True strength vortex shattering the flying sword lights and resisting the massive star imprint falling from the sky.
With a loud rumble, Qiao Mu’s bones creaked under the heavy pressure.
In just a moment, the broken bones rapidly reformed, even growing and extending faster, causing his body to rapidly expand…
The person arrived first, then came the sound.
Roaring sound waves created invisible ripple waves in the sky, distorting the air and surging like thunder.
"Old thief, dare to disrespect the Qiao family!!"
The violent sound waves swept in all directions, causing nearby cultivators to pause and lose focus briefly, almost falling from the sky.
Several Immortal Sect Leaders quickly took action, each summoning their protective treasures to shield their golden core disciples by their side.
After this test move, all the other people, except the Great Dao Sect leader, gained an understanding of Qiao Shuangtu’s personal strength.
"This time, Changsheng Taoist Lord showed sharp insight by identifying the tricky aspect of the Qiao family’s martial arts early on. It’s a good opportunity to eliminate any future threats."
The leader of Tongtian Sword Sect spoke up.
While the leader of Great Dao Sect focused on Qiao Xin standing behind Qiao Shuangtu.
Even though Qiao Shuangtu swiftly charged forward and took their combined attack, it was clear that he was also injured.
But the crucial point was… Qiao Xin behind Qiao Shuangtu was still alive.
"Has the iron rule of the Qiao family members been broken again?"
"Did this Qiao Shuangtu really rescue Qiao Xin without using any kind of underground teleportation technique, like earth-moving magic?"
The crowd couldn’t help but be surprised.
Members of the Qiao family are connected by blood, but usually it is only after the younger generation of the Qiao family dies that they will follow the bloodline connection and appear through the teleportation of a Qiao family member once in their lifetime.
Although they often seek revenge, they actually cannot save the younger generation from their enemies….but this time seems different.
*Sigh*…………..
Qiao Mu let out a long breath.
He flew up and kicked, his leg whipping like a long whip at the Meteorite Fire Mark, causing this huge symbol to tilt to one side.
Then, he retracted his hands that had already been bent inwards and burned to the point of skin and flesh turning black from the immense weight, and emotionlessly glanced back at his flesh clone Qiao Xin.
Actually, saving his own flesh clone was a pretty foolish thing to do.
After all, the fate of a flesh clone is truly not the same as fate itself.
Though it takes hundreds of years, they can keep multiplying, and now Qiao Mu has as many as seven flesh clones.
Saving the body double while putting the original self in a difficult situation sounded quite strange.
However, deep down in Qiao Mu’s heart, there has always been a very subtle thought.
He saved not the physical body behind him, but the hope that "Qiao Xin" wouldn’t die in front of everyone.
The master of Peach Blossom Villa, Qiao Xin, is not particularly special.
While his reputation and influence are significant, he is famous in Nan Province for the "Breaking Waves and Dividing Floods Sword," and later founded Peach Blossom Villa, becoming a legendary figure in the martial arts world.
However, among the many prominent Qiao family members in Jiu Province, he doesn’t stand out particularly.
The only unique thing about him is just one.
Qiao Xin is one of the Qiao family members who has lived the longest.
"If possible, I also wish for a Qiao family member to live long in this world, with their own name, life, and loved ones."
"Even if their name is not Qiao Mu."
Qiao Mu wants to die, but Qiao Xin wants to live.
Qiao Mu took a long breath, protected Qiao Xin behind him, then looked up at the sky covered by the Immortal Boat, and lowered his head to see his hand, where the wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
Then his body began to tremble slightly.
"You… actually hurt me?"
His voice carried a suppressed sense of joy, making the cultivators in the sky involuntarily frown, feeling a strange uneasiness.
Like a weirdo running naked on the street late at night suddenly hearing voices coming from the corner.
The feeling of fear and tension quickly tightened his heart, making his hair stand on end.
"The five Immortal Gates," he said as he took a step forward.
"The five Great Taoist Lords."
"Perhaps there will never be such a strong enemy in this world again."
Qiao Mu mumbled.
His mouth curled uncontrollably, goosebumps creeping up his arms.
It is said that within the Immortal Gates there is still a Supreme Elder… but he had destroyed three Immortal Gates directly or indirectly without seeing a glimpse of the Supreme Elder.
Currently, there are six Immortal Gates in Jiu Province, and aside from the five people in front of him at the Soul Changing Stage, how many more cultivators remain?
