Chapter 14 The First Form of the Qin Kills the Nine Heavens

Just as Qian Duocai was about to use a talisman to blast open Lu Fuyue's cave, the door suddenly opened.

A woman dressed in white with delicate and beautiful features slowly walked out from inside. She had a red cinnabar mole on her forehead, and her figure was ethereal and fairy-like. She was a rare beauty in the cultivation world.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Duocai's eyes, but he quickly remembered that his purpose in coming here was to avenge his deceased Lian'er, so he spoke fiercely.

"Who are you? Tell Lu Fuyue to come out right now, or I'll make you regret it!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples watching the scene from a short distance couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, this is not his fault. After all, Lu Fuyue had been in poor health and would vomit blood after walking a few steps, so she had not been out much.

Qian Duocai had never seen what Lu Fuyue looked like; all his knowledge of her came from Bai Lianlian.

Bai Lianlian often intentionally or unintentionally revealed to him that Lu Fuyue, relying on his status as the sect leader's daughter, would bully and slander her from time to time.

Therefore, Qian Duocai's impression of Lu Fuyue was that she was an ugly, jealous, and vicious woman, so he assumed that the person who had just come out was Lu Fuyue's friend.

Lu Fuyue chuckled a few times, and with a wave of her hand, a guqin appeared in her arms. "I am the Lu Fuyue you are looking for."

"You came here because of Bai Lianlian, right? In that case, why not go up to the Life and Death Arena? You, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, are not afraid of me, an early-Foundation Establishment cultivator, are you?"

Qian Duocai hadn't recovered from Lu Fuyue's beauty when he heard her words, and in a fit of anger, he agreed.

"Go ahead and attack! Why would I be afraid of a vicious woman like you!"

"I'll beat you to death today!"

At this moment, a disciple standing to the side tried to speak up to stop him, but Qian Duocai noticed and threw a third-grade explosive talisman at the man.

A single Grade 3 Explosive Talisman is equivalent to a full-force attack from a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That disciple was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, so how could he possibly stop him? His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned completely pale.

The explosive talisman came hurtling towards him, almost touching him.

Bang!

A huge crater appeared where the young disciple was, and thick dust obscured everyone's view.

Just when everyone thought he had been reduced to ashes, he stood perfectly intact beside Lu Fuyue.

Everyone was taken aback.

Could it be... that Lu Fuyue saved him?

But this is a third-grade explosive talisman. Unless one has a cultivation level above the peak of Foundation Establishment, they will be crippled even if they don't die.

The young disciple finally came to his senses. He knelt down before Lu Fuyue, trembling. "Thank you so much, Uncle Lu. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead."

Lu Fuyue sighed; he too had suffered an undeserved misfortune.

With a flick of his sleeve, a burst of spiritual energy helped the young disciple up from the ground. "Go back and get some rest."

"Lu Fuyue, what do you mean by this?"

"How dare you interfere in my affairs."

Qian Duocai's face immediately darkened, and he questioned him.

Lu Fuyue gave him a cold look. "It's nothing. I just can't stand it. If you're not happy, then go up to the life-or-death arena, sign a life-or-death contract, and we'll have a fight."

Qian Duocai suddenly hesitated. He had just agreed to go to the life-or-death arena because he was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while Lu Fuyue was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Although it was only a small difference in level, their strength was vastly different.

He was confident that he could beat Lu Fuyue.

You can see with your own eyes how Lu Fuyue can easily escape unscathed from the effects of a third-grade explosive talisman.

He felt a little regretful; he hadn't expected that a little girl who had just started cultivating would have such high talent.

Seeing his hesitant look, Lu Fuyue added fuel to the fire, "What, are you scared? If you are, then you should avoid me from now on."

"What are you afraid of? You're just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, how could you possibly be my match?"

Qian Duocai gritted his teeth. Anyway, he had plenty of talismans. At worst, he could just use them to wear her down.

"It's best if you're not afraid. Then go on stage."

At this moment, the junior disciple beside Lu Fuyue suddenly whispered to her, "Uncle-Master, won't you offend someone by doing this...?"

Lu Fuyue knew what he was worried about. Qian Duocai was the only bloodline of the Fulu Peak Elder, and he had put in a lot of effort for this only son.

But she's no less impressive. Lu Zhengming is the sect leader, and she's his daughter. How could she allow the son of a peak master to be so humiliated?

Besides, Lu Fuyue is not some soft-hearted pushover who can be easily bullied. If her strength allows, she will fight if necessary!

So she waved to her junior disciple, "Don't worry, don't forget that my status is no less than his."

The junior disciple thought about it and agreed, so he didn't say anything more.

A little while later.

Under the watchful eyes of all the disciples, Lu Fuyue and Qian Duocai stepped onto the life-or-death arena at the same time.

Just as the two of them reached the center of the life-or-death arena, a beam of white light enveloped them together.

A moment later, the white light disappeared, and the life-and-death pact was formed!

Once you step onto the arena of life and death, your fate is no longer in your own hands, and the consequences of your death will not fall on the other person's head.

Few people would actually go to the Death Arena, because if you do, and your opponent kills you, it's because you're less skilled, and even the sect can't punish them.

However, the sect forbids private duels, so if you want to fight, you can only go to the life-or-death arena.

The moment the contract was generated, Qian Duobao took out his talisman pen and drew a few strokes in the air. Then he flicked it towards Lu Fuyue, and the golden runes flew towards her brow.

"Lu Fuyue, today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

The onlookers gasped in amazement. It must be said that although Qian Duocai was not a good person and his cultivation was not particularly outstanding, his talismanic arts were indeed extremely high.

To be able to draw talismans in mid-air at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is surprising, whereas logically only those who have reached the Golden Core stage should be able to do so.

Lu Fuyue is in danger now.

However, Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of her finger, the sound of the zither suddenly rose.

The first move of the Qin Kills the Nine Heavens: Sound Kills a Thousand Blades!

Instantly, countless musical notes transformed into thousands of flying blades that hurtled towards Qian Duocai. The golden runes collided with the flying blades, and for a moment, they were evenly matched, giving the impression of a close contest.

Upon seeing this, Qian Duocai's face darkened, and he picked up his brush again to create a talisman.

The spiritual energy within his body flowed from his dantian through his meridians into the talisman brush, and the runes in mid-air seemed to come alive, then flew towards Lu Fuyue with golden light.

With a stroke of the brush, life comes; with talismans, all paths lead; talismans of confinement!

Lu Fuyue carried her zither to avoid it, but the spot where she had been standing was now caught in a giant net made of talismanic symbols.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and her hands moved faster and faster, constantly flipping and turning.

She learned much more than just this during this period of seclusion.

Suddenly, she pressed down hard on the strings with two fingers, unleashing the first move of the "Sound Kills the Nine Heavens" technique, "Sound Kills a Thousand Blades!"

Seeing this, Qian Duocai across from him laughed sarcastically, "I thought you had some skills, but it turns out this is all you know!"

The audience shook their heads in disbelief; he was indeed too young.

Lu Fuyue took in everyone's reactions, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. Is that so?
