Chapter 314 - 313: Cheating Again at the Critical Moment
"Miss!"
"Fairy Qingtan!"
Jia Siwen and the Fifth Tianfeng, still on the "Tanxian Ship," exclaimed in shock, and the other survivors in the high-rise were also horrified.
However, the attacker was emitting a Fourth Stage late-phase spiritual power fluctuation, causing most people to dare not act, except for the Fifth Tianfeng, who struck with his strongest attack using the Tianfeng Sword. Your next chapter awaits on NovelBin.Côm
Regrettably, the opponent was too lazy to even dodge since the Fifth Tianfeng’s attack couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
Yu Qingtan had not anticipated someone suddenly attacking her, but she immediately used "Love’s Protection" to boost her cultivation level to the mid-Nascent Stage. Since she had no Nascent Soul in this state and her internal spiritual power was all converted from a massive amount of Spirit Stones, she looked unharmed even though the attacker shattered her Golden Core with his full power at the first opportunity.
"Spirit Fixation!"
At such a close distance, Yu Qingtan used the Mind Immobilizing Spell first and then drew out her long spear, counterattacking with a backhanded thrust of her sword aiming straight at the opponent’s Dantian.
"Clang~"
In less than half a breath’s time, the attacker broke free from the confinement of the Mind Immobilizing Spell and deflected the sword thrust with his long spear.
The assailant was a tall man in a black robe, with a kind face but a pair of deep eyes that were flickering with cunning light.
At that moment, his lips were slightly upturned, revealing a trace of a cruel smile. The long spear wasn’t held in his hand, instead, it seemed to be one with his hand. Its sturdiness was very high, showing no signs of damage upon clashing with the Taoist Instrument, the Falling Curtain Sword.
"Fairy Qingtan is indeed extraordinary, able to counterattack even after having your Golden Core shattered. However, we knew you had techniques like the Spirit Fixation and would not come unprepared,"
As the attacker spoke, his other hand also transformed into a long spear, and he launched a double spear attack towards Qingtan.
"It turns out to be the Mimicry Octopus Tribe from the Sea Clan, adept at disguising." Although the other party still didn’t exude any Sea Clan aura, Yu Qingtan, with her Biching Spiritual Pupils, could see through the ruse.
Facing the assault of the Mimicry Octopus King, Qingtan prepared to use an Escape Technique to widen the distance between them only to find that her Escape Technique, including the Five Elements Qiankun Escape and the Bleeding Thousand Miles Dao Technique, had failed.
Left with no choice, Qingtan had to fend off the attacks with her Falling Curtain Sword, using the Heavenly Fragrance Sword Technique and the Xiangfei Sword Technique. Due to the urgency and speed of the attacker’s strikes, Qingtan couldn’t execute the Canglan Water Dragon Break in time, and after all, her borrowed cultivation level was still far from that of a true mid-Nascent Soul invincible master.
Yu Qingtan was steadily being driven back.
"Hehe, Fairy Qingtan, knowing your methods, how could we come unprepared?
To restrict your Escape Technique, we have specially prepared a Daoist Instrument, the Spirit-Space Pearl,"
As the Mimicry Octopus King continued his attack, he also chattered on without stopping.
The clash between the two Fourth Stage fighters, the Falling Curtain Sword, and the long spear caused terrifying battle ripples, collapsing several high-rises and directly killing thousands of cultivators, while the rest scattered and fled.
Jia Siwen piloted the "Tanxian Ship" to a safe distance to avoid being affected by the fallout.
Seeing this, Qingtan gathered a huge domain around herself and the Mimicry Octopus King to prevent the battle ripples from scattering further.
"You are truly kind-hearted, Fairy Qingtan, to care for these ants even when your own life is in danger,"
The Mimicry Octopus King sneered, also consolidated a domain, and transformed into a giant octopus tens of zhang high, hundreds of octopus tentacles turned into huge spears aiming right at Qingtan.

"Spirit Fixation!"
Seizing the opportunity, Yu Qingtan once again cast the Mind Immobilizing Spell. Although her spiritual power and divine sense were sufficient to support consecutive casting, the Mind Immobilizing Spell, this powerful Dao Technique, was not instantaneously activated.
She had had no chance to cast it again due to the continuous attacks of the Mimicry Octopus King. But now, using it, Yu Qingtan unleashed her most powerful move—the Canglan Water Dragon Break.
It included everything she had comprehended, such as the Way of the Five Elements and Sword Dao. She could no longer afford to hold back at this moment. When she unleashed the move, the effect was immediate, and the giant head of the Mimicry Octopus King was reduced to bloody pulp.
However, Yu Qingtan felt her heart sinking to rock bottom.
In less than half a breath’s time, the Mimicry Octopus King broke free from the effect of the Mind Immobilizing Spell, and then hundreds of tentacles, like spears, continued to lunge towards Yu Qingtan.
The shattered head appeared to have no impact on the Mimicry Octopus King; as it attacked, a new head grew back in its place.
"Haha, useless, Fairy Qingtan, I, Chapter Three of the Mimicry Octopus King, am not like the trash Xue Old Eight. Listen to the wails of those human ants, you can’t save them, and you yourself, you’re going to die here too!" laughed Chapter Three of the Mimicry Octopus King with wild arrogance. The Xue Old Eight he mentioned must have been the Fourth Stage final phase Deep Sea Giant Lizard King who was killed by Yu Qingtan earlier.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Stage middle phase Sea Callops King that had been lurking in the City Lord’s Mansion had arrived at the scene, brutally slaughtering the fleeing cultivators.
The Fifth Tianfeng had exhausted his essence blood to boost his power to the mid-Golden Core stage and launched a full-force attack on the Sea Callops King, only to be seriously injured by a casual strike from the latter.
The gap was too vast; had Jia Siwen not acted in time to drag away the Fifth Tianfeng, and had the Sea Callops King’s main focus not been tormenting the cultivators to disrupt Yu Qingtan, the Fifth Tianfeng would have likely met his end right there.
The screams of the dying human cultivators entered Yu Qingtan’s ears, irritating her to no end. But she was now completely at a disadvantage against the Mimicry Octopus King’s offensive.
Relying on her sturdy physique, she once again endured a wave of the enemy’s attacks, then cast the Mind Immobilizing Spell again, seizing the moment to employ the Soul Cleansing Technique.
However, it failed to have the desired effect. Her Soul-Purging Bewilderment Technique was not yet powerful enough; the enemy had previously been defeated because they had been severely injured first.
The Soul-Purging Bewilderment Technique did cause the Mimicry Octopus King immense pain.
"Ah—I’m going to eat you!"
The Mimicry Octopus King attacked Yu Qingtan even more savagely, swiftly inflicting several wounds on her.
Yu Qingtan took a deep breath and glanced at her system panel—the Affection Value she had converted was over three hundred thousand.
She exchanged them for two Dao Comprehension Perfection Cards and two Dao Art Upgrade Cards for the Fourth Stage. The Dao Comprehension Perfection Cards were used for Blood Dao and Soul Dao, while the Fourth Stage Dao Art Upgrade Cards were applied to the Mind Immobilizing Spell and Soul-Purging Bewilderment.
The understanding of both Blood Dao and Soul Dao instantly reached the Third Level, and the two Dao Techniques, like the Bleeding Thousand Miles, advanced to the stage of great achievement.
In addition, whenever she had spare time she would study the Space Path and Path of Time with Physician Qing, and she had mostly assimilated the improvements brought by the last Dao Comprehension Perfection Cards.
Thus, Yu Qingtan used the two Origin Comprehension Cards that she had already exchanged last time on the Path of Time and Space Path.
In an instant, Yu Qingtan’s insight into space-time surged, and mysterious sensations flooded her mind.
Just as Chapter Three, with eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light, was about to turn Yu Qingtan into a porcupine with his long spears, Yu Qingtan, who appeared to be at her limit in his eyes, vanished.
