I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 2084: Chapter 2084: Qingcheng Qu Lv!

The entire body was rigid, as if two invisible hands on the ground were tightly gripping Ning Chenxin’s ankles, sinking his feet into a quagmire, unable to move at all.

A cold sensation rushed from his feet straight to the top of his head, and his heart stopped beating at that moment.

This feeling of imminent death was something Ning Chenxin was experiencing for the first time.

Even so.

Beside him, Han Shouyi, Lu Mingyuan, and the others didn’t even have time to react.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Actions, thoughts, everything was frozen.

Only that mysterious black light continued to pierce towards the back of Ning Chenxin.

It’s over...

This was the only thought the people present could process.

Suddenly!

At a distance of only two fingers away from the back of Ning Chenxin, the black light suddenly halted!

And at Ning Chenxin’s back, his clothes had been torn open, exposing a piece of bloodied skin!

But this pause was not like a complete Spatial Seal without any subtle movement; rather, it seemed like there was an invisible barrier behind Ning Chenxin!

The black light couldn’t penetrate this barrier and started to vibrate violently in place.

At this moment, Han Shouyi and the others first came to their senses and immediately pulled Ning Chenxin away to a distance, standing in front of him warily against the black light.

When Han Shouyi and Lu Mingyuan discerned the halted state of the black light and felt its aura, they instantly let out a sigh of relief, their tense bodies beginning to relax.

"Are you alright?" Netherworld King walked over and frowned.

Ning Chenxin shook his head, looking at that strand of black light... Could it be that the master intervened?

After all, every time at the brink of life and death, the master would step in and resolve the crises.

And at that moment, a lively voice came from outside the secret chamber.

"Hey! Junior Brother Ning, Brother Lu! Are you guys okay?"

Everyone looked up towards the dome that had originally been pierced through, where sunlight streamed down and a graceful, fuzzy silhouette appeared faintly in the sunlight.

Only when the silhouette landed did Ning Chenxin pause slightly, "Senior Sister Gu?"

It was Gu You!

Lu Mingyuan looked at Gu You helplessly, "Where did you go?"

Gu You stood with hands on hips, sniffed and smiled proudly, "Humph, of course I went to get reinforcements! I had a premonition this crisis was unusual; luckily, Second Senior Brother was nearby!"

As the words fell.

In front of the black light, a man dressed in blue with his long hair tied up appeared.

With just two fingers, the man blocked the black light.

"Second Senior Brother?" Ning Chenxin looked at the man’s back.

Han Shouyi grinned, "Qu Lv, the second generation True Disciple, his strength exceeds mine."

Meanwhile, Ba Xiyue, and Chu Ran were slightly stunned.

They had heard Qu Lv’s name, but were unaware of how strong he actually was.

The people of Qingcheng Mountain were generally very low-key... or perhaps they simply had made too few moves.

Yet the gray-clothed elder, Jiang Yi, and others had a change of countenance.

It was normal for the younger generation to know few things.

But for their generation, they had indeed heard of the earth-shaking events concerning Qu Lv...

At that time, Qu Lv single-handedly challenged people from the Blazing Sun Divine Country.

And that was a force on par with the Banan Divine Kingdom among the Six Great Divine Countries!

Qu Lv fought from the border all the way to Chi Yang Imperial City, and although no one knew who won in the end, Qu Lv left Chi Yang Imperial City unscathed...

Everyone looked towards Qu Lv.

Qu Lv pinched the black light between two fingers, applying slight pressure at the fingertips, causing the black light to vibrate violently and emit a sharp screech.

His expression was calm, yet his gaze was as deep as a cold pond, surveying the direction from which the black light had come.

"Hidden and cowardly." Qu Lv spoke faintly, his voice not loud yet carrying a pressure that penetrated space.

Before the words had fallen, he lightly twisted the black light with his double-finger grasp.

Crack—

The black light shattered instantly, turning into countless black dots dispersing in the air.

Yet Qu Lv did not stop, he gently raised his left hand, grabbing at the void where the black light originated.

Buzz—

The space trembled violently as an invisible large hand seal condensed out of thin air, enveloping that area instantly.

This hand seal was filled with sword qi as sharp as frost, carrying immense righteousness! Pushing the surrounding evil aura several meters away.

"Come out." Qu Lv’s voice remained calm, yet held an unquestionable tone.

In the void, a blurred shadow was forced to reveal itself.

The shadow was shrouded in dense black fog, its face indistinct, only a vague humanoid outline could be discerned.

The shadow clearly hadn’t anticipated Qu Lv’s swift response, nor that his methods would be so fierce and capturing upon his emergence.

"Qu Lv of Qingcheng Mountain..." a hoarse voice came out from the black fog with a hint of apprehension.

Qu Lv did not reply, his left hand’s five fingers slowly squeezing shut.

The invisible hand seal contracted with it, sword qi intersecting to form a cage, trapping the shadow firmly within it, with righteousness and sword qi blending inside the prison.

The shadow’s surrounding black fog rolled intensely, attempting to break through the sword qi’s lock, but every impact was shattered by the sword qi.

"Since you’ve come, stay here." Qu Lv said, aligning his right hand’s index and middle fingers like a sword, whereupon a white sword beam gathered at his fingertips.

The sword beam wasn’t dazzling, yet it exuded a bone-chilling coldness felt by everyone present.

Even Han Shouyi and Lu Mingyuan, True Disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, were seriously apprehensive... fully aware that if Second Senior Brother unleashed a strike, the entire cavern might collapse.

The shadow evidently sensed the deadly threat as well; a low growl emerged from the black fog, "Want to keep me? Not that easy!"

Before the voice ended, the black fog around the shadow suddenly contracted, condensing into a black bead the size of a fist. The bead’s surface was covered with bizarre patterns, emanating a disturbing wave of evil aura.

"Explode!" the shadow shouted fiercely.

The black bead exploded with a bang, the violent energy shockwave instantly tearing through Qu Lv’s sword qi cage.

Simultaneously, the entire secret chamber was enveloped by black energy, rendering it pitch-black and everyone blind!

Taking this chance, the shadow transformed into a black smoke, fleeing towards the cave exit at an impressive speed.

Qu Lv frowned slightly, and without hesitation, pointed his right hand’s sword fingers.

Hiss—

The green sword beam pierced through the black fog and overtook its earlier pace, instantly striking through the black smoke.

"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded from the black smoke, which oscillated violently, almost disintegrating.

But the shadow evidently used some life-preserving secret skill, forcibly withstanding that piercing strike, even gaining speed, disappearing outside the cave in an instant.

Qu Lv did not pursue, merely retracting his sword fingers and gazing thoughtfully at the disappearing direction of the shadow.

"Second Senior Brother, why not chase?" Lu Mingyuan couldn’t help but ask.

Qu Lv shook his head, "That person is no less than skilled, and was prepared. Though the last sword seriously injured him, he burned his essence to flee and is beyond pursuit."

Ning Chenxin, having concluded his breathing adjustment, stepped forward and cupped his hands at Qu Lv, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for the rescue."

Qu Lv turned around, giving Ning Chenxin a once-over, with a flash of approval in his eyes, "You are Junior Brother Ning?

The Three Religions Dharma Form just now was impressive. The old master really found a treasure this time."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chenxin was taken aback.

Qu Lv had been watching all along?

Qu Lv scanned the surrounding area, "This action by the Holy Sect is so significant, it’s certainly not simply for slaughtering a city; there’s likely something they want here."

Han Shouyi nodded, "We think so too... and perhaps, it’s already been taken by the other side."

Qu Lv nodded, and together with Han Shouyi, looked towards the central altar, which had crumbled into rubble, as if a piece of the ground below had been gouged out...
