Chapter 26 - Game Over
"Your attacks are useless against me," Wei Longtao sneered. "Now it's my turn."
He stretched out a finger towards Qin Jue, and a pitch-black light lit up — which then turned into a black beam of light that was mixed with a terrifying aura of destruction — and shot towards Qin Jue. Everywhere it passed, even space showed signs of distortion.
If one took a closer look, one would notice that Wei Longtao was wearing a black bracelet on his arm, and the beam of light had shot out from the bracelet.
"It's another Supreme Stage spirit artifact, the Death Spirit Ring!"
Wei Zheng couldn't remain calm any longer. After all, every single Supreme Stage spirit artifact was extremely precious, and they were the most prized possessions of a clan. Even someone as strong as the Wei Clan only had three, and two of the three had already been given to Wei Longtao!
If Wei Zheng didn't remember wrongly, these two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts had always been kept by the patriarch, yet now, they were with Wei Longtao.
Moreover, he had both an attack artifact and a defense artifact.. It was a perfect match. Coupled with Wei Longtao's middle-phase Heaven Stage cultivation, he did indeed possess the strength to fight a Supreme Stage expert!
Just as Wei Zheng and the others were exclaiming in surprise, the black beam of light had already arrived in front of Qin Jue. The power contained within this beam of light had already far surpassed the scope of Heaven Stage and had even reached the level of Supreme Stage. If the person controlling it was a Supreme Stage expert, it would be even stronger.
…Unfortunately, his opponent was Qin Jue.
Rip!
Without any warning, the black pillar of light suddenly split apart, perfectly avoiding Qin Jue and flying to both sides without even making a scratch on his body.
"What happened? What did he just do?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Is that all you've got? I got my hopes up for no reason." Shaking his head, Qin Jue didn't waste any more words. He raised the "AK-47" and directly drove it to its maximum power!
Tu tu tu tu!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of golden balls of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun and shot towards Wei Longtao.
If the gun was said to be like a revolver with single-fire before, it now resembled a fully automatic machine gun with unlimited bullets!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wei Longtao was unable to dodge and was struck by the dense golden balls of light. Even though he possessed the Absolute Defensive Barrier, he was still blasted flying by the powerful impacts and smashed into a mountain in the distance.
Qin Jue swept his eyes over the mountain. After confirming that there were no Xuanyi Mountain Sect buildings there, he immediately continued to shoot wildly. Finally, all the balls of light connected together and turned into a golden light pillar, illuminating the mountains and rivers with a tragic brightness.
Rumble!
The mountain instantly crumbled under the impact of the golden pillar of light. It shook the heavens and the earth and attracted countless shocked gazes.
"Oh, no! Young Master is in danger!" Wei Zheng, who had shouted, wanted to help yet did not dare to approach. After all, that golden pillar of light looked thin, but it was actually extremely powerful. If he was hit by it, it would probably immediately take his life.
Just like how Zhang Jichen and Wu Ying were unable to interfere in the battle between Heaven Stage experts, Wei Zheng was similarly unable to interfere in the battle between Supreme Stage experts.
At the same time, Wei Longtao, who had already been shot into the ground by the golden light, was trying to activate the Death Spirit Ring to counter-attack. However, he discovered that the black light pillar shot out by the Death Spirit Ring was completely unable to resist the golden pillar of light.
What was even more terrifying for Wei Longtao was that he could see that the red light revolving around his body was already trembling slightly, as if it would shatter at any moment!
One had to know that the reason why Wei Longtao had dared to challenge Qin Jue was because he had confidence in this Supreme Stage spirit artifact. Even if he couldn't defeat him, at least he wouldn't lose.
But now it seemed that even the Absolute Defensive Barrier could not withstand Qin Jue's attack!
"No, I can't die here!" Wei Longtao roared. He was just about to release all of his spirit energy to fight when the golden pillar of light suddenly dissipated.
"What happened?" Wei Longtao was a little dumbstruck.
Before he could figure it out, an invisible hand suddenly grabbed him and forcefully pulled him out of the ground.
The originally huge mountain peak had already turned into ruins. There was also a bottomless pit.
"Tsk. Still alive." Qin Jue smacked his lips and sighed. "It seems that the power of this gun is still too weak."
It wasn't that Qin Jue didn't want to directly kill Wei Longtao, but this gun had reached its limit. If he continued to use it, it might explode.
It couldn't be helped. The materials Qin Jue used to forge this AK-47 were too poor and couldn't bear the burden of too much spirit energy. The reason why it was able to produce such a powerful attack was because of the number of runes he had drawn on it. Otherwise, this kind of low-level material could become, at most, a Yellow Stage spirit artifact.
"However, the two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts on you are pretty good." Qin Jue looked thoughtful.
"What do you want?" Wei Longtao was shocked and immediately became vigilant.
These two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts were the clan's most prized treasures. Only when he was out would the patriarch make an exception and let him use them. If they were taken away, even if he was the Wei Clan's genius that had not appeared for a hundred years, he would still be punished.
"Senior, please show mercy and let Young Master off. Our Wei Clan would be eternally grateful!" Seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and begged for mercy. He also brought up the Wei Clan to intimidate Qin Jue.
At this point, even an idiot could see that even when Wei Longtao had two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts, he was still no match for Qin Jue. Moreover, Qin Jue seemed to have a calm composure since the start of the battle. If this battle continued, Wei Longtao would undoubtedly die.
"Oh? If I were the one who lost, would you have given me mercy?" Qin Jue asked with interest.
"This…" Wei Zheng choked, not expecting Qin Jue to ask him this question.
If it was Qin Jue who lost, then there was no doubt that the entire Xuanyi Mountain Sect would be destroyed. This was the purpose of their trip.
"I understand." As if seeing through Wei Zheng's inner thoughts, Qin Jue put away the AK-47, took a sip of wine, and indifferently said, "I've had enough fun. It's about time to end it."
The AK-47's power had been tested, and it had no problem dealing with Heaven Stage cultivators, so Qin Jue planned to end this game.
As soon as the last word was spoken, Wei Longtao felt as if he had lost control of his body. Even the spirit energy in his body was unable to circulate, as if it did not belong to him.
Then, the Death Spirit Ring and Absolute Defensive Barrier seemed to separate from his body on their own and fell into Qin Jue's hands.
"So these are Supreme Stage spirit artifacts?" Qin Jue was rather curious.
Their Xuanyi Mountain Sect only had a few Heaven Stage spirit artifacts, and he had never seen Supreme Stage spirit artifacts before. Among them, the Death Spirit Ring was a black bracelet that was crystal clear like glass. The Absolute Defensive Barrier was a red flexible armor that emitted a dense spirit charm. It was obvious at a glance that these were no ordinary items.
There was a golden rune at the center of both items. It was the symbol of a Supreme Stage spirit artifact.
"Give it back! Those are mine!" Wei Longtao roared hysterically. He no longer had the lofty and insufferably arrogant appearance from before. Only now did he realize how great the gap between him and Qin Jue was. This youth in front of him was simply a monster!
And that strange weapon. It clearly looked like an ordinary staff, but the power it released could even penetrate the Absolute Defensive Barrier.
What was wrong with this world? Why was it like this?
Wei Zheng braced himself and spoke, "Senior, these two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts are the prized treasures of our Wei Clan…"
At this moment, he wished that he could strangle Wei Longtao to death. If not for Wei Longtao, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Shut up!" Qin Jue casually waved his hand, and Wei Zheng immediately suffered a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backwards.
Qin Jue didn't have any good feelings towards these people who wanted to eliminate the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. He had already shown mercy by not directly killing Wei Zheng.
However, Wei Longtao wouldn't be as lucky.
