Daqian Martial Saint

Cultivators of the Profound Lady Heart Method possess True Essence far denser than others in the Same Realm, and their True Essence is also imbued with certain Divine Wonders. This grants it an immense suppressive effect on ordinary True Essence.

A cultivator’s attack, defense, speed, and even perception and reaction time are all comprehensively enhanced, allowing their combat power to far exceed others of the Same Realm.

‘No wonder, no wonder. So that’s how it is.’ At that moment, the Blood Robe Man understood everything.

‘Why did the peerless prodigy who astonished her generation and dominated an era suddenly have her Cultivation speed slow down? It was because of the Profound Lady Heart Method.’

‘The Cultivation Technique Gu Qingchan practices wasn’t the Profound Ice Heart Method the world believed it to be, but rather the Profound Lady Heart Method, which is renowned for its extreme difficulty and slow progress!’

‘For Gu Qingchan to practice the Profound Lady Heart Method while still maintaining the Cultivation speed of a Top Level prodigy, overcoming all obstacles and constantly Breaking Realm… Her talent was likely even more astonishing, more peerless, than any of them had ever imagined! Like a Phoenix from the nine heavens, dazzling in her brilliance.’

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The Ice Soul flashed as the Divine Needles shot through the air. Several streaks of cold light tore across the sky, carrying a bone-chilling cold and an imperious might that instantly froze the surrounding air.

The cold light easily pierced the shield of blood light surrounding the Blood Robe Man. A mixture of terror and despair washed over him as his body froze in an instant. The light faded from his eyes, and his thoughts, like a kite with a snapped string, drifted into endless darkness.

The Ten Thousand Demons Altar Master, wielder of the Soul-hooking Blood Chain, had fallen!

Gu Qingchan stood proudly, bathed in a dazzling blue light, like a blue lotus. Even with the Profound Lady Heart Method, killing a Grandmaster of the Same Realm was no easy task. Fortunately, thanks to her various strategies, she had finally managed to slay the Blood Robe Man on the spot.

Just as Gu Qingchan killed the Blood Robe Man, on the other side of the battlefield, a heavy thud echoed as Situ Ba’s body crashed to the ground, sending countless shards of stone flying. His body was soaked in blood, a truly miserable sight.

At this moment, the Spiritual Energy between his brows was dim, and his True Essence was so thin it felt as if it could dissipate at any moment. He struggled with all his might to get up, but the tide of blood surging toward him from all directions was like a mire, trapping him and making it impossible to move.

HUMMM~

A blood-red ripple shot out, mercilessly piercing his body. Already at the end of his rope, Situ Ba could no longer remain conscious and sank into a deathly silence.

The gray-robed old man stood in the air, the bloody light on his hands gradually dimming. His face was grave as his gaze met Gu Qingchan’s from a distance.

At that same moment, Gu Qingchan had just slain the Blood Robe Man.

“The Profound Lady Heart Method!” the gray-robed old man’s voice was dry and hoarse, like decaying Withered Wood eroded by a thousand years of wind and sand. A flicker of greed surged in his eyes.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

His answer was several Profound Ice Divine Needles that shimmered with a crystalline light. Each Divine Needle was concentrated with the dense power of Ice Soul, its chilling aura seeming capable of freezing everything.

Boosted by Gu Qingchan’s Profound Lady Heart Method, the might of these Profound Ice Divine Needles was several times greater than before.

No matter how confident the gray-robed old man was in himself, he had to admit that Gu Qingchan, who practiced the Profound Lady Heart Method, now had the power to fight him on equal footing.

“Hmph!” The gray-robed old man snorted coldly and thrust a finger forward. A bloody light instantly surged before him like boiling lava, creating heart-stopping crimson ripples.

HUMMM~ HUMMM~ HUMMM~

As the bloody light trembled violently, ripples of blood shot out like sharp blades, emitting a piercing whistle as they flew to meet the Profound Ice Divine Needles head-on in mid-air.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Crisp, loud impact sounds rang out one after another. Although each Profound Ice Divine Needle contained enough power to pierce metal and stone, they failed to achieve the expected effect against the bizarre and powerful energy of the blood ripples.

“Blood Demon Capturing Hand!”

The gray-robed old man roared, and his other hand rapidly formed a series of gestures. Amidst the surging blood light, a large amount of Blood Demon Pool Water rose up, instantly coalescing into a huge, hideous, blood-red hand that shot out to grab Gu Qingchan.

WHOOSH!

Seeing this, Gu Qingchan’s expression flickered, but she showed no signs of panic. Her figure was light, and as blue light flowed around her, she seemed to transform into a clear, flowing spring, deftly shifting her position.

BOOM!

The massive blood hand grabbed nothing but air, setting off a violent roar. The bloody palm repeatedly tried to snatch Gu Qingchan, but her Body Technique was so nimble that she managed to evade it perfectly every time.

“Die!” A cold sneer formed on the gray-robed old man’s lips. His figure blurred into a blood-red afterimage as he shot toward Gu Qingchan to kill her.

This gaunt old man was, surprisingly, a master of close combat. Both his speed and strength had reached an astonishing level.

An ordinary Grandmaster using their full defensive power would be severely wounded on the spot. What’s more, Gu Qingchan’s Profound Ice Divine Needles were currently tied up in mid-air with the blood ripples, leaving her no time to recall them for defense. The presence of the massive blood hand had also created several openings in Gu Qingchan’s guard. Although these openings were fleeting, they were more than enough for the gray-robed old man. He was confident he could severely injure Gu Qingchan before she could react.

As the old man charged in for the kill, Gu Qingchan’s gaze remained cool and detached. Her ornate robes fluttered, making her look like a Fairy descending to the mortal world, as graceful as a startled swan.

With a flash of blue light, an Ice Lotus Treasure Lamp materialized before her, hovering in mid-air and emitting a crystal-clear, cold glow.

HUMMMMM…

As the Ice Lotus Treasure Lamp began to spin, lotus leaves drifted out from it, transforming into streams of pale blue Light Lotuses, ethereally beautiful and dreamlike.
