C1454 Dead of vital qi
Within the current Xue’s Mansion, whether it was Xue Qingming or Liu Gongquan, both of them were already at the end of their tether. Especially for Xue Qingming, due to Liu Gongquan's heavy injuries and the backlash from the Eight Arts of Divine Needles, he was already a person on the verge of death.
At this moment, the only thing Xue Qingming could do was to use his own body to block Liu Gongquan's final strike and protect his two granddaughters under Liu Gongquan's hands.
However, at the same time Liu Gongquan attacked Xue Qingming, streams of light scattered down from the sky.
The brilliance of the rain of flowers was incomparably dazzling, giving off a red glow.
Just as Liu Gongquan was about to finish him off, the pillar of light suddenly turned and enveloped his head.
What followed was a loud bang.
Liu Gongquan was sent flying by a strong force.
Liu Gongquan who was already heavily injured spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, and his body quickly flew out like a broken kite.
The sudden light ray covered Xue Qingming's body, and at the same time, waves of gentle mana entered Xue Qingming's body and started to nourish his broken body.
Slowly, Xue Qingming could actually feel his body recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a moment of shock, without knowing what happened, Xue Qingming suddenly opened his eyes and looked strangely at the light pillar that enveloped his entire body that connected the heaven and earth, his face full of astonishment.
"This, this is …"
Xue Qingming was simply unable to explain everything that had happened before him.
Let alone Xue Qingming, even Liu Gongquan was stunned. His heavily injured body tried a few times, but he could not get up at all. He could only watch as Xue Qingming continued to recover.
Liu Gongquan bellowed angrily at the sky at this moment. "How could this happen, how could this happen, how could this be, impossible, impossible?"
Feeling the pain all over his body, and looking back at Xue Qingming who had almost recovered, Liu Gongquan's heart almost exploded out of despair.
And now, the happiest ones were none other than Xue Ningshuang and Nangong Miaomiao.
Originally, seeing that her grandfather was about to leave and drive away from her, suddenly, a rain of flowers fell from the sky, her grandfather's face became red again. Although Xue Ningshuang did not know what this light pillar was, but she was sure of one thing, and that was that her grandfather would not die.
"Grandfather, grandfather!"
With tears flowing down her face from excitement, Xue Ningshuang kneeled on the ground and prayed devoutly.
"The heavens have mercy on us, the heavens have pity on us."
Xue Qingming was so moved that he couldn't even speak, although he did not seem to be afraid of death when facing Liu Gongquan. However, this ant was still living on the sly, let alone being a living person. It was natural that no one would want to die even if they did not want to.
The joy of being reborn caused tears to start flowing out of Xue Qingming's eyes as well.
Lifting his eyes to the sky, Xue Qingming's throat was choked with emotions, he did not know what to say.
The Fa Li contained within this pillar of light was far too strong, and in that moment, not only did Xue Qingming's body recover, the damage he received from the divine needle's eight techniques was also offset.
However, the Fa Li within the pillar of light did not dissipate just like before, and continued to pour into Xue Qingming's body.
Feeling such an unprecedented power, Xue Qingming felt that his own dantian was gradually filled to the brim, and his entire body was slowly lifted up by the light pillar.
From the depths of his shock, streams of invisible energy gathered towards Xue Qingming's dantian, as if they were a part of the ocean.
"This, this is …"
This kind of familiar feeling made Xue Qingming's entire person start to tremble with excitement.
Slowly, slowly, Xue Qingming felt a warm feeling in his dantian, followed by the feeling that something had cracked.2
Tears of joy started to flow uncontrollably from Xue Qingming's eyes.
"I never thought that I would be able to wait for this day to come. The heavens have truly pitied me!"
As he cried in joy, Xue Qingming suddenly exerted strength and immersed himself into the light pillar. He knew that he was about to have a breakthrough.
Immediately after, roars of rage sounded out from within the Xue’s Mansion.
Roar … Roar … Roar …
Nangong Miaomiao, who had never seen such a scene before, suddenly felt afraid. Holding onto Xue Ningshuang's hand from the side, she nervously asked: "Cousin sister, uncle, what's wrong with him?"
At the same time, Xue Ningshuang was also shocked on the spot, she looked at Xue Qingming who was in mid air, and spoke after a long while: "Break, grandfather is about to break through."
"Breakthrough?" Nangong Miaomiao still could not understand.
But just as the two sisters were talking, a strong suction force started to sweep across the entire Xue’s Mansion from top to bottom with Xue Qingming as the center.
In just an instant, all the flowers and grass on the Xue’s Mansion had withered. Even the Eastwoods guard who was sprawled on the ground had been affected, and seemed to have been hollowed out all of a sudden.
As for Xue Qingming, at that moment, whether it was in terms of appearance or temperament, he had undergone a tremendous change.
From Dragon Elephant to the innate state was an insurmountable gap for humans.
Although Dragon Elephant Stage could be considered the realm of experts who could start their own sects, in the end, they were still not able to break free from the shackles of humans. Human beings were different, once they stepped into the Innate Stage, it would be a qualitative leap. Not only would they be able to break free from the constraints of being human beings, their lifespan would also increase greatly.
From ancient times till now, it was unknown just how many experts had stopped at this step, but the current Xue Qingming had already successfully stepped out of this step, and walked towards an even higher threshold.
Although the current Xue Qingming was dressed in shabby clothes, his appearance was already very different.
His aged face had actually turned young. Although it didn't look like he was in his twenties, he now looked like a middle-aged man. Even his white hair had turned black, and he looked full of vitality.
Seeing the change in Xue Qingming, both Xue Ningshuang and the others were dumbstruck.
And the one who was most obvious about Xue Qingming's breakthrough was none other than Liu Gongquan.
Seeing the dying Xue Qingming actually breaking through to the Innate Stage with the help of a god, Liu Gongquan felt as if a cat was scratching its heart.
"Innate, Peak Of Human Origin, no, how could this be, how could this be, why, how could this be, how could this be?! I don't believe this, I don't believe this …"
Anger, jealousy, unwillingness. At this moment, all sorts of emotions surged in Liu Gongquan's heart. Liu Gongquan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and flew more than ten meters away. He then stared fixedly at the nearby Xue Qingming, and swallowed the last breath of his life.
Just like that, an expert of Innate Stage and a Grand Commander of Golden Family were angered to death by Linhai.
