Chapter 446: True Death I

Chapter 446: True Death I

The Impostor's neck acted like a never-ending fountain. Even the already raring Qinyang froze at the sight of the Impostor killing another. The one who killed an Impostor was of the same lineage, someone with Hellish Qi.

That Impostor then pulled the heart out of the body, with it came a black flickering speck of light. That speck of light-activated a chain reaction that called upon the black light coming from the dead Impostors.

Another Impostor did the same thing, this it was someone possessing the Holy Qi. He too plunged his hands into another's chest and pulled out a heart with a flickering speck of white light.

There were five dead Impostors, three of which were of the Hellish Qi variance and the rest was Holy Qi variant. From these bodies came out corresponding light that shot up to a heart. The hearts glowed either black or gold and as they did so, power surged.

Qinyang felt something was about to happen and without missing a beat decided to kill them all. She lashed out and tried taking them all, with her strength doubled Qinyang expected a clean sweep, but, three Impostors appeared before her, they merely used their swords to deflect her might. What was worst was that they did it so easily.

All of them already activated their bloodlines to their limits. All but two, and they all either had four rings or two pairs of wings.

Seven Impostors rushed her, they swung their swords and she backed off. But as she did so another was waiting for her with pointed sword, she kicked the ground and twisted her body and then grabbed that Impostor by the head.

CRACK!

She snapped his neck and managed to kill another, but that only made another white light fly into one of the Hearts. Qinyang's brows furrowed, she moved once more and chose to fly up to where those with Hellish Qi followed.

An aerial battle commenced where Qinyang fully utilized her speed and maneuverability. She soared up when she felt the limits of the tomb, she dove down to meet the rest of the four-winged bastards, "Heralding Sword: Phoenix Dive."

She slashed out and took the head of another three and then, one managed to once again deflect her sword. Her hands were blown away opening her abdomen for a beating.

"Good luck." One of them said as Qinyang's temple received a direct kick and was sent to crash on the ground where the rest of the Impostors were waiting.

BAM!

A fist struck her face and then sent her flying! Her face caved but her body reacted so quickly that she managed to rip off an arm! 

Blood flowed, and when she regained her sight, she saw three Impostors coming from above attempting a dropkick.

"Not good." She crossed her arms but when they came into contact with their foot, Qinyang struggled to even keep up with them, but, the strangest thing was she kept smiling.

BOOM!

She flapped her wings, regained her stance, and bite off one of the Impostors' neck killing him on the spot. She clads herself in flames, regained her arms, and then summoned a new sword she also shrouded in flames.

"Heralding Sword: Life Cycle." 

SLASH! A circular slash and this time she managed to kill two of them. Another three lost their lives, and without so much as a problem, another ground replaced the ones who died.

Qinyang was happy this happened, she was ready to fight once more. She was happy that so many was rushing to their deaths, but just as she was about to clash with the rest, two figures came from behind and erected a water dome.

"Origin Water Art: Temple of the Lord." The twins erected the dome and kept Qinyang from the rest of the Impostors. Yuan Qing erected the water wall dome and Yuan Ming held Qinyang by the ankle, tripping her.

THUD! She fell, "Hey! That hurts! What's the big deal!? I was fighting just then and winning mind you, with this they'll gain their second wind, what are you going to do about that!? Wait, before you answer, no, I will not share my targets with you two." Qinyang acted like a child who eating potato chips.

"Yeah, she clearly doesn't know she's being toyed with."

"I know, she's still young, so give her some leeway."

"You know I hate it when you two talk like that."

Seeing the Young Miss confused and unable to comprehend the situation, the twins sighed and then pointed at the groups of Wang Ling, "They are using you to kill them disguising it as a fight where you are winning." They explained.

"Wait, do you mean to say I wasn't winning? But I was killing them!"

"Don't feel bad about it, we didn't think they're capable of doing this, anyway you get a pass for this, Qinyang I mean Young Miss." Yuan Qing said.

Qinyang sighed as she collected herself, "You two know something I do not don't you?"

Yuan Ming then nodded, "We know a lot of things you"

"About the situation!"

The twins' mouth was agape hearing her, "Well, you didn't specify. Well then allow us to explain the situation. Those two killed someone like them thereby activating some sort of ritual. This ritual is them collecting fragments of their strength and base on what we can confirm, only those killed by others can activate the ritual else those they killed would only turn to the container for the specks of light do you get it?"

"Yes, so the more we kill the stronger they will become."

"Yes." The two finally stopped.

The Impostors listened to their words and snickered, "Well, the cat is out of the bag. Seeing how you two are acting, I guess you won't be killing any more of us well, goodbye then, we did our job here."

All of a sudden, every other impostor other than the two left for somewhere else. Seeing their directions, the three girls concurred that they won't be going to the source of the Holy Qi

"Now that their secrets out, they choose to go and slaughter the young ones" the twins stated at the same time before finishing it off with, "I really hate this guy, Impostor or otherwise."

"What?"

"That means we're going after those guys. We have a better means of communication and we can control our speed better. Even without wings, we are still faster, also, you wouldn't want to leave this place and not fight those two, right?"

"fair point." Qinyang did not refute the two.

The twins were just about to leave but decided to throw her the device they used in scanning the Tomb saying with lowered voices, "If you feel like you can't take him on, take him to the marked area found in the map, there you'll find a very useful cavalry."

"Bah, I think I can kill these two," Qinyang argued, full of confidence.

The twins did not say anything about the matter of her claims. The twins left and as soon as they did, the water dome finally disappeared giving Qinyang a full view of the two Impostors who remained.

The two already abandoned their masks and seeing their bloodstained mouths, one could already infer that they devoured the heart they dug out.

"That's disgus" 

BOOM!

The one with the Hellish Bloodline sent Qinyang flying with a kick on the abdomen.

"This is already taking too long." He said as three pairs of wings sprouted from his back.

Deep down under the magma, Wang Ling's mind raised because deep within him a flicker of a white flame entered his very being and quickly melded with his soul.
