But suddenly, a large number of tree roots burst from the ground, forming a wooden wall in front of the woman, blocking all of Qin Yuesheng’s flying knives.
The flying knives were embedded in the wooden wall, their blades trembling incessantly, but soon they beca completely motionless.
"The City Lord can control wind and trees, she’s not easy to deal with," observed Youlan, shaking her head as she watched the entire battle between Qin Yuesheng and the City Lord from inside the ice shield.
"What should we do then?" Xuerong asked nervously.
Youlan was about to make her move when she saw Qin Yuesheng move swiftly, like wind and thunder, bypassing the wooden wall at a speed beyond anyone’s reaction and arriving in front of the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord.
A high agility of 45.0 is no joke; previously, Qin Yuesheng hadn’t truly exerted himself, but now he was going all out without reservation.
The Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord only saw a blur before Qin Yuesheng suddenly appeared before her.
She was just about to gather strength to counterattack when Qin Yuesheng punched her directly in the abdon.
Swish!
With two swift strikes, both arms of the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord were severed at the root, and the set of golden armor she wore offered no defense whatsoever.
Extending his hand, Qin Yuesheng removed the golden mask from her face, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Bright eyes and red lips, with fair and stunning beauty.
Her brows were expressive, and her aura was noble.
Unexpectedly, she was an exceptionally rare beauty!
"I just happen to need a mask, so I’ll take this," Qin Yuesheng said with a grin, then promptly knocked off her head with the hilt of the Evil-Subduing Saber.
The Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord’s body instantly began to wither rapidly, and in just a few breaths, she turned into a skeleton.
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, in the end, she is rely a skeleton, once a fleeting spectacle, but destined to wither," Qin Yuesheng sighed.
The beauty of the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord, even if glimpsed only once, left an indelible impression in one’s mind, her beauty lingered hauntingly.
With the person casting the magic dead, those wooden walls collapsed to the ground in an instant, completely losing all vitality.
Grasping the hand of the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord, Qin Yuesheng imdiately activated the decompose function.
[Yes/No — Decompose ’Ji Ruge, Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord’]
"Yes."
[Decomposition successful, obtained ’Seven Elents Creation Spell. Wind Fragnt x1’ ’Seven Elents Creation Spell. Wood Fragnt x1’ ’Cloud Concealnt Spell x1’]
Three light clusters hovered quietly where the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord’s corpse disappeared.
Qin Yuesheng squeezed them one by one, imdiately filling his mind with much new knowledge, giving him an epiphany about the so-called spells used by the won of Ten Thousand Flowers City.
Just as martial artists can use inner strength to perform highly destructive martial arts, the Seven Elents Creation Spell is similar, relying on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cultivate a special kind of inner strength within the body, which is similar to ordinary inner strength but with so differences. Using this special inner strength, the won of Ten Thousand Flowers City are able to perform various ’magic’.
The Seven Elents Creation Spell consists of seven fragnts: Fire, Water, Wood, Thunder, Wind, Earth, and Light, each enabling a different type of attack. However, the prerequisite is that only females can cultivate it, and if a man forcibly tries to cultivate it, the qi will stagnate and cause him to explode, with side effects far more severe than having his ridians severed and becoming a cripple.
Though Qin Yuesheng’s mind now held the cultivation thods for the Wind and Wood fragnts of the Seven Elents Creation Spell, the skill panel showed no sign of these fragnts.
This ant he did not truly learn the Seven Elents Creation Spell.
However, Qin Yuesheng didn’t mind, as he wasn’t currently in dire need of attack thods, so not learning the Seven Elents Creation Spell was acceptable.
He was quite intrigued by the Cloud Concealnt Spell decomposed from Ji Ruge.
This was a rare stealth body technique that, when activated, wrapped the entire body in inner strength, making it impossible for others to visually detect him.
Presumably, the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord had used this body technique to approach their group without being detected.
At this mont, Youlan and Xuerong approached; they hadn’t witnessed Qin Yuesheng killing the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord, and seeing no sign of Ji Ruge around, Youlan cautiously asked, "Where is the City Lord?"
"What is your relationship with her?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Generally, I never spoke more than three sentences with the City Lord," Youlan replied.
"I’ve already killed her," Qin Yuesheng said as he stood up, retrieving the ropes on the ice shield and retying them around his waist. "Let’s go, ti is pressing, let’s hurry and get out of here."
Youlan studied Qin Yuesheng’s back. If Qin Yuesheng could defeat the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord, whose strength was definitely not weak, could it be that his power was second only to Her Majesty’s?
Or... even more formidable than Her Majesty?
Having lived her whole life in Ten Thousand Flowers City, Youlan couldn’t fathom it.
Although they had trained in the Seven Elents Creation Spell, giving them considerable offensive power, their speed and physical strength were no match compared to those martial artists outside. Let alone soone like Qin Yuesheng, whose physical attributes far surpassed ordinary people multiple tis over.
Defeating the Ten Thousand Flowers City Lord was as simple as killing a chicken, as long as he could dodge her attacks and get close.
Heading north, after walking for an unknown period, they finally reached the end of the sea of red spider lilies. Here, the number of blooms was extrely sparse, revealing patches of green grass.
Beneath the edge of the flower sea lay a slope of barren ochre earth, with exposed skeletons reaching out toward the distance.
A hundred feet away, a deep and bottomless gorge was clearly visible, its banks separated by at least several hundred lengths, with only a gigantic stone dragon connecting both ends.
"This is the Dragon-locking Dao!" Qin Yuesheng exclaid.
It’s unimaginable that beneath Ten Thousand Flowers City lies such a magnificent place.
More importantly, Ten Thousand Flowers City was inside that white porcelain mural in the first place; this was truly like a mustard seed encompassing Mount Suru.
Reaching the end of the sea of flowers, the scent had minimal influence, causing the ice shield enveloping Youlan and Xuerong to instantly dissolve, and they walked straight out of it.
"Beyond the Dragon-locking Dao is the narrow path; for people like us who grew up in Ten Thousand Flowers City, it’s impassable, so Xuerong and I won’t accompany you further to avoid trouble on our return," Youlan said.
Qin Yuesheng had no doubt about her words.
After all, Youlan had once helped others escape Ten Thousand Flowers City; if she could leave too, why would she remain?
This place is called a city, but it’s essentially a prison. If one could truly leave, who would choose to stay?
Qin Yuesheng nodded, gesturing with a cupped fist to Youlan and Xuerong, smiling, "I had no intention of intruding into Ten Thousand Flowers City. It was truly a blessing to et you, erm... two sisters, and I express my gratitude. Without your help, I could never have escaped this place in a lifeti. This is farewell; until we et again."
Youlan lowered her head, fumbling around her waist and opened her mouth to speak. But Xuerong suddenly mustered her courage and asked, "What is your na?"
"Qin Yuesheng."
"Could you leave sothing as a nto? I... I’m really glad to have t you."
With a smile, Qin Yuesheng nodded, reaching to his waist and removing a jade pendant, handing it to Xuerong. "Sister Xuerong, until we et ag—"
Suddenly, a sharp rock spike pierced through Xuerong’s chest, breaking through and penetrating completely.
The spilling blood splattered all over Qin Yuesheng’s face, painting most of it like a ghastly demon.
Xuerong’s hand raised halfway, just a re step from the jade pendant Qin Yuesheng was handing her. But so close, yet so far, her eyes gradually dimd, fell into lifelessness, and she could no longer reach it.
"Until—" Qin Yuesheng’s eyes widened in shock as he witnessed everything happening.
Xuerong was dead, in an instant, even soone like him couldn’t react in ti.
Watching Xuerong’s body begin to wither, Youlan trembled, turning away.
When the familiar silhouette t her gaze, this cold-faced beauty could no longer contain her emotions.
With a voice trembling in fear, she could only utter a single word:
"Your Majesty!"
