My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 316 - 315 Qing Tan Finally Slays Zhang Laosan

```

The destructive power of a late Fourth Stage Sea Clan self-destruction could be described as earth-shattering. The ground caved in to form a deep pit several hundred feet deep, and violent shockwaves scattered in all directions, flattening buildings within several miles.

Human cultivators and Sea Clan members who hadn’t escaped far enough were hit by the blast and killed beyond any hope of survival. Jia Siwen, who had temporarily obtained control of the "Tanxian Ship," was already at a considerable distance, and with the shielding of the upper Third Stage "Tanxian Ship," both Jia Siwen and the fifth Sky Phoenix managed to escape unharmed.

However, the "Tanxian Ship" flying boat was blown dozens of miles away, suffering severe damage.

"Hahaha, what fairy Qingtan, no matter how genius or monstrous you are, you still died at my hands. Hahaha, to think there were two Taoist Instruments!"

At the bottom of the deep pit caused by the self-destruction, where the Mimicry Octopus King, Old Third Zhang, should have perished with the explosion of his inner core, he reappeared, laughing wildly, as his tentacles reached for the two falling Taoist Instruments, the Sword of Curtain Fall and the Copy Net.

The materials of the Taoist Instruments are robust, sturdier than the flesh of Golden Core cultivators, demons, and members of the Sea Clan who have undergone body refinement. Due to their small area of impact, they suffered only minor damage in the explosion.

It turned out that Old Third Zhang, the Mimicry Octopus King, was not only adept at disguising himself but also remarkably skilled in survival tactics. He had three inner cores and three souls, each hidden in different parts of his body, and his regenerative abilities were extremely strong.

Therefore, when Yu Qingtan blew up his head, he was unharmed. When Yu Qingtan destroyed the soul in one of his inner cores, he responded by self-destructing another inner core, yet he remained alive. While he detonated one of his inner cores, he secretly moved another core and a portion of his flesh into the space of a Taoist Instrument, the Fixed Space Pearl.

As a result, the Soul Constraint that Yu Qingtan placed on him was actually on the soul within one of his inner cores. It was the same core whose soul was purged by Yu Qingtan with the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique, and it was destroyed in the explosion while in Yu Qingtan’s hands.

As for the matter of the Deep Sea Profound Ice Pine that he had mentioned to Yu Qingtan, there was some truth to it. However, the Emperor Penguin clan was not as he described, with its higher-ups all at the front lines. Instead, a Fifth Stage Sea Venerate was in command.

If Yu Qingtan were really tempted by the Deep Sea Profound Ice Pine and ventured into Emperor Penguin territory, in Old Third Zhang’s eyes, that would be akin to a lamb entering the tiger’s den, a delivery to one’s doorstep. If he could trap Yu Qingtan to her death, he would still achieve a great merit.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qingtan did not follow the usual course and triggered the Soul Constraint directly. Fortunately, it was he, Old Third Zhang, who had the upper hand.

Now, as Old Third Zhang emerged from the Fixed Space Pearl’s Taoist Instrument space, although he had suffered great losses himself, he had finally succeeded in killing Fairy Qingtan, his terrifying enemy.

However, just as Old Third Zhang’s tentacles reached the Sword of Curtain Fall and the Copy Net Taoist Instrument, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Spirit Fixation!"

This person, clad in a light blue dress and with a celestial visage, was none other than Yu Qingtan.

Disbelief filled Old Third Zhang’s eyes, but he was completely immobilized. Yu Qingtan had no intention of wasting words on him, and moving swiftly, she executed the Soul-Purging Bewilderment technique.

Then she performed the Spirit Fixation spell once more, followed by the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, which obliterated Old Third Zhang’s body along with his Golden Core into nothingness. Immediately after, she unleashed a vast Fireball Technique, scorching the area for miles around, and carefully examined it with her Divine Sense and Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique.

Only after a long while, when Jia Siwen and the fifth Sky Phoenix sensed Yu Qingtan’s presence and hurried back, did Yu Qingtan become relatively certain that Old Third Zhang was indeed dead.

"This late Fourth Stage Mimicry Octopus King was indeed too difficult to kill!" Yu Qingtan couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.

But no matter how cunning and ghostlike you are, you will still drink this fairy’s foot-washing water. Don’t ask why, ask because I have the cheat code.

The self-destruction earlier should have been unstoppable, but she had the Innate Divine Power Shadow Clone; at the moment of the fatal blow, her body had already vanished.

Then, through the soul imprint left in the Taoist Instrument of the Falling Curtain Sword, she reconstituted her body and suddenly reappeared, taking out Elder Zhang thoroughly.

"It’s just a shame about my Frost Sword Poem battle robe!"

As for the Taoist Instrument Fishing Rod and the Blood Marionette Order, they were inside Physician Qing’s body.

"Miss, it’s such a relief that you are unharmed!" Jia Siwen finally let go of his anxious heart, flew to Yu Qingtan’s side, closely inspected her body, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming she was not injured.

The Fifth Tianfeng also flew over, his eyes filled with admiration, "Fairy Qingtan, your strength and wisdom truly command respect. Had it not been for you, we might have all fallen victim to the Sea Clan’s treachery."

Although he and Jia Siwen could not see the full extent of the Fourth Stage battle from afar, they understood the overall situation. They were unaware of how Yu Qingtan managed it, but the fact remained unquestionable that she emerged unscathed from the late Fourth Stage Sea Clan’s self-destruction and powerfully struck back.

Yu Qingtan smiled faintly and shook her head, "It was also a matter of luck. The Mimicry Octopus King is extremely cunning; had I not been prepared, I might have fallen into his trap."

Jia Siwen looked at the devastation around them and sighed, "The power of that Fourth Stage self-destruction is truly horrifying. Fortunately, we had you, miss, otherwise our fates would have likely been bleak."

"Alas, let’s first see how many survivors there are, as well as the Sea Clan scattered throughout the city," Yu Qingtan sighed. Stay tuned for updates on NovelBin.Côm

Although the nearby Sea Clan was either killed or scared off by the Fourth Stage battle, Yatu Immortal City still teemed with many more Sea Clan members. The tens of thousands of surviving human cultivators from the previous tall buildings were still under threat from the Sea Clan.

The three then split up to slay the Sea Clan and rescue the human cultivators. Although Jia Siwen’s powers were limited, he was still a Golden Core Cultivator, and with a bunch of talisman given by Yu Qingtan, dealing with the Sea Clan within Yatu Immortal City was not a problem.

After more than an hour, the trio finally cleared the remaining Sea Clan from Yatu Immortal City and rescued over thirty thousand human cultivators. Of course, the vast majority of the work had been done by Yu Qingtan.

Yatu Immortal City, though smaller than Suichuan Immortal City, housed over seven hundred thousand cultivators, but now only so few remained. Yu Qingtan and the others all wore an expression of sorrow.

Jia Siwen and the Fifth Tianfeng, looking at the tragic scene before them, were filled with anger and sadness. All of this was due to the Sea Clan’s invasion and cruelty, which had turned this once thriving Immortal City into its current ruins.

"These Sea Clan members are truly despicable!" The Fifth Tianfeng said through gritted teeth.

"War between races is precisely this ruthless. We can only improve our strengths as much as possible to prevent more tragedies like this from happening," Yu Qingtan said, deeply moved.

Later, Yu Qingtan asked the Fifth Tianfeng to temporarily comfort and protect these thirty thousand human cultivators and called for assistance from the Cangqiong Sword Sect to settle them.

Yu Qingtan and Jia Siwen continued to press deeper, purging the Sea Clan that had breached the area, swiftly completing the task.

Yu Qingtan instructed Jia Siwen to stay put for the time being, while she pressed on along the coastline. She did not take Jia Siwen with her because not far ahead was the Blood Sword Sect’s gate, currently occupied by the Sea Clan.
