Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 425: Chapter 423: Light at the End of the Tunnel

”You wretched wench, you’re looking to die!”

Qiu Kunsheng looked behind him.

When he saw the scene clearly, he was instantly overcome with rage!

There,

Wei Yuting had somehow retreated several dozen yards away.

Holding an Array Plate, she was controlling an Array that was rising from the ground behind them.

At some unknown point,

she had secretly set up a Killing Array on the ground behind them!

The Corpse Refining Sect Disciples following behind were caught off guard. They were immediately enveloped by the Killing Array, then sliced to pieces by invisible Wind Blades, their remains falling to the ground!

In an instant,

the Corpse Refining Sect’s party had lost more than half its members!

Qiu Kunsheng was already despondent because their mission had fallen short at the last moment.

Now, faced with this backstabbing,

he was so enraged he saw red!

”Die!”

Qiu Kunsheng flew into a rage. The Magical Power in his body surged out as he struck from a distance without hesitation. A vast, black Magical Power coalesced in mid-air, forming a ghostly claw several dozen feet long. It tore through the sky, covering tens of yards in a flash as it lunged for Wei Yuting!

The might of the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Late Stage

was fully unleashed in that moment!

Wei Yuting’s expression was grim.

Her delicate, jade-like hands moved in a blur, forming one Seal after another. Instantly, layers upon layers of the Array rose before her, solidifying into visible barriers for protection.

BANG!

The ghostly claw slammed into the transparent Array Light Curtain.

In that instant,

a deep, thunderous explosion erupted. A violent shockwave swept out, and fierce winds blasted everything away. The ground shook violently, cracking into a spiderweb of fissures.

The ghostly claw was ultimately blocked.

But at the same time,

cracks appeared all over the raised Array Light Curtain, which looked as if it was about to shatter!

It was clear it wouldn’t hold for much longer!

Wei Yuting’s expression was grave.

Her flawless, jade-like fingers danced again like butterflies.

”Explode!”

Following her sharp cry,

BOOM!!!!

A terrifying explosion erupted in all directions. Wave after wave of horrifying energy shockwaves swept out. The surrounding air seemed to warp and twist under the force of the terrifying blast!

”This is bad!”

Seeing this,

Qiu Kunsheng’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

Wei Yuting’s decisive self-destruction of her Array had completely caught him by surprise.

In fact, he wasn’t the only one who reacted this way.

The others were just as shocked.

’Normally, shouldn’t she use the Array to wear down a few of my attacks before blowing it up as a last resort to delay her enemies?’

’Who self-destructs their ultimate weapon right at the start?’

The other Corpse Refining Sect Disciples hadn’t anticipated this at all.

And so,

in an instant, they were completely engulfed by the massive explosion!

At the same time,

Wei Yuting didn’t hesitate for a moment.

She transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky, flying out from the volcano’s empty caldera.

”AHHH!!! You bitch! I’ll kill you!!!”

Below,

a furious, desperate roar came from the dust-shrouded ground.

A vast aura erupted violently.

The dust that shrouded the area and the fierce Spiritual Power shockwaves sweeping through the space were torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand, revealing the scene below!

There,

Qiu Kunsheng’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with boundless fury.

He transformed into a black streak of light and shot into the sky, chasing after the fleeing Wei Yuting, consumed by endless rage!

His immense aura blotted out the sky.

The surrounding air trembled violently, causing deep cracks to form in the hard volcanic rock!

Rage!

Unprecedented rage!

On the ground below,

a massive crater hundreds of meters in diameter had appeared.

This was the result of Wei Yuting self-destructing the remnant Array Base that had been there!

That Array had once been powerful enough to confound a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak Cultivator. Even though it had been damaged and dismantled, its Energy Level was still extremely high.

When it exploded, the power it unleashed was simply world-shaking!

And so,

inside the crater,

all of the Corpse Refining Sect Disciples, aside from the Third Elder, were more dead than alive!

Whether they were at the Soul Emergence Early Stage or the Soul Emergence Middle Stage,

they had all been wiped out by Wei Yuting’s attack!

Even the Third Elder, at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer, had only barely withstood the blow and suffered significant injuries.

Aside from Qiu Kunsheng, who was at Soul Emergence Eighth Layer,

he had only been able to protect himself.

As a result,

the Corpse Refining Sect’s expedition could be considered a total loss!

Faced with such a disastrous scene,

Qiu Kunsheng didn’t dare to imagine ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

what would happen when he returned to the Mountain Gate empty-handed, having lost most of the Corpse Refining Sect’s mid-to-low-level members.

What fate would await him when he faced the Supreme Ancestor!

”DIE!!!!”

”That bitch must die!!!!”

Qiu Kunsheng had gone completely mad!

His Cultivation at the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Late Stage made him twice as fast as Wei Yuting!

In just a few moments,

Qiu Kunsheng, having rushed out of the volcano’s crater, caught up with Wei Yuting halfway up the side of the massive Dead Volcano.

His body moved like black lightning, his hand clawing furiously toward the center of Wei Yuting’s back.

He swore he would rip out this bitch’s heart and grind her bones to dust!

A look of terror appeared on Wei Yuting’s face.

’This is bad!’

’The old fiend is moving so fast in his rage!’

This unexpected turn of events threw Wei Yuting into a panic, trapping her in a desperate situation!

But,

at that very instant,

BOOM!

A figure suddenly shot out in front of Wei Yuting. Like a golden bolt of lightning, it streaked ferociously through the air and met Qiu Kunsheng’s sharp claw with a fist just before it could reach her!

BANG!

The violent collision erupted with a deafening blast.

Overwhelming power exploded in an instant. The intense storm generated by the impact shredded the surrounding trees with furious winds, and the ground cracked and split apart.

Qiu Kunsheng’s figure faltered, and he stumbled back a few steps.

The golden figure was sent flying backward, knocking Wei Yuting back with it.

But this also happened to put a great distance between them and their attacker.

”Where did this madman come from? Tired of living, are you?!”

The sudden appearance of this figure

made Qiu Kunsheng calm down slightly.

His centuries of combat experience forced him to consider the possibility of an ambush.

However,

when he got a clear look at the face of the person who had suddenly appeared to save Wei Yuting,

Qiu Kunsheng was first taken aback,

and then an immense wave of joy surged through him!

”You’re that Shen Changchuan?!”

”Hahaha!!!”

”Excellent! The heavens are helping me!”

”Venerable Seven Extremes and Venerable White Bone have already issued a kill order for you. If I can capture you and bring you before the two Venerables, what can that old fossil do to me?!”

An enormous sense of elation welled up in his heart.

He had thought this expedition would end in a disastrous defeat with heavy losses, and that upon returning to the Mountain Gate, he would surely be severely punished by that old fossil and face a miserable fate.

Now,

it was truly a light at the end of the tunnel!
