Qingfeng Li knew that if he could find the place where the Demonic Peacock Empress was being held and free her, he could convince her to kill the Sky God’s Avatar.
Qingfeng Li continued forward through the Five Colored Small World. The light within this small world had an ethereal quality; the five different colors of light swirled around each other, illuminating the entire space.
Everything here was woven from the five colors: beasts, earth, shrubbery, trees, mountains, and rivers. They were all like the feathers of a peacock.
After walking a while, Qingfeng Li came upon a long river.
This river was, too, composed of the five colors. The water was vibrant, with all kinds of fish swimming about within.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s brows furrowed, because he felt a presence at the bottom of the river. It was the presence of someone powerful.
He felt it clearly, that within this brilliant five-colored river there was a presence that was out of this world; its spirit energy seemed to pierce through the heavens. Additionally, this presence likely belonged to a woman; she seemed to be practicing some kind of powerful technique.
Boom!
A massive sound erupted as a beautiful woman flew from beneath the river’s surface. She shot up into the air, her long hair gracefully floating behind her.
This long-haired beauty was beautiful indeed: her features were delicate, her skin the color of snow; her eyes were elongated, fluttering as she blinked, framed by brows curved like the crescent moon.
Black pupils danced in their sockets, sparkling like the brightest stars in the night sky. Her long, delicate lashes fluttered in faint, fan-like movements. When she moved, her slender waist swayed like the branches of a weeping willow. However, this beauty was completely bare.
The long-haired beauty had been meaning to put on her clothes when, suddenly, she saw Qinfeng Qingfeng Li. He expression changed, and she let out a scream.
She swung her right hand, forming a giant five-colored fist, and hurled it at Qingfeng Li. It seemed that she intended to kill him.
Qingfeng Li smiled, not bothered in the slightest. He quickly swung his own right fist and shattered the long-haired beauty’s five-colored fist and forcing her to take a step backward.
“Pretty lady,” he smiled. “You’d best put on some clothes.”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the long-haired beauty gave another scream as she scurried to retrieve a green outfit from her interspatial wristband and put it on.
“Bastard! This is the Five Colored Small World. Where the hell did you sprout out from?” The long-haired beauty glared at Qingfeng Li, her face filled with fury.
In her rage, the long-haired beauty’s face twisted up into an unnatural expression. This made what was originally a beautiful woman look a bit like a clown.
“Pretty lady,” Qingfeng Li said, smiling. “Don’t get mad. You’ll get uglier if you get angry.”
“You damn human! You dare to barge in here to peek on me while I bathe and meditate,” the long-haired beauty roared. “I’m definitely going to kill you!” At that, she swung her hand at Qingfeng Li again.
But Qingfeng Li stood his ground, unmoving until the other’s hand was just before his body. Then he swung out a fist and, in a heavy blow, smashed the other’s hand into pieces. The long-haired beauty was no match for Qingfeng Li.
The long-haired beauty’s expression shifted as she retrieved a long sword from her interspatial wristband.
The sword was five-colored and from it hung a peacock-shaped pendant.
“Emperor level class six spiritual treasure,” Qingfeng Li said, smiling. “Nice. But, too weak. No match for me.”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s comment, the long-haired beauty’s expression grew cold. She hadn’t expected for Qingfeng Li to recognize her five-colored spiritual long sword, and identify its level at that.
But she wasn’t worried. She was a practitioner of an extremely sophisticated Peacock Sword Technique.
This sword technique was very powerful. A single strike of the sword could cleave a fissure in heaven and earth. She was confident that she could kill this disgusting human before her.
“Peacock Sword Technique,” the long-haired beauty cried. She swung her five-colored long sword, slashing forward with tremendous force. A beam of five-colored sword light materialized and, with its multi-colored sword energy, sliced toward Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li smiled, still standing in place.
Around them, there were a handful of demonic beasts who, seeing the scene, were overcome with surprise. They looked on, incredulous.
These demonic beasts were residents of the Five Colored Small World. They knew full well how powerful the long-haired beauty was.
There had been demonic beasts who had crossed the long-haired beauty before, but they had all been slain by one strike from the Peacock Long Sword in her hand.
This human outsider, why was he standing still? Did he want to die?
Naturally, Qingfeng Li saw the expressions of the demonic beasts around him. He knew what they were thinking. But he wasn’t worried, nor was he surprised. He simply continued to stand there quietly.
Qingfeng Li did not move in the slightest, not until the Peacock Long Sword in the long-hair beauty’s hand had appeared before his face. Suddenly, he reached out with his index and middle fingers of his right hand together and caught the Peacock Long Sword between them.
Seeing him catch the blade with his bare hands, the long-haired beauty’s expression changed to one of shocked surprise.
The Peacock Long Sword was an extremely powerful spiritual device; it contained a hint of peacock energy. She would never think that a human would be able to catch it so easily and with just their fingers. She had never seen anything like this, it was completely out of her expectations.
Frustrated, the long-haired beauty channeled the demon essence in her body, pouring it into the Peacock Long Sword in a constant stream. The sword began radiating an even more powerful sword energy, tearing hairline fractures in the air itself.
She wanted to slick Qingfeng Li’s finger off, but his fingers were harder than stone, emitting a glittering golden light along with a faint black glow.
This light was the combined power of the Mortal Purgatory Body and the golden energy. It completely suppressed the Peacock Long Sword, rendering it unable to attack.
No matter how much of her demon essence the long-haired beauty poured into the Peacock Long Sword, it remained motionless between Qingfeng Li’s fingers, unable to move an inch.
The beauty was enraged. She could not move her right hand as it was holding the long sword, but with her left hand, she formed a fist and swung at Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li merely reached out casually and caught her fist in his hand.
Then, with a slight tug from his right hand, he took the Peacock Long Sword away from the long-haired beauty and into his own hand.
Seeing Qingfeng Li take away her long sword, the long-haired beauty’s expression changed abruptly. “How is this possible? You’re only at the sixth level of the Spirit Emperor Realm,” she said, “the same as me. How could your combat ability be so powerful?”
“Cultivation level is not the same as combat ability,” Qingfeng Li smiled. “You’re still too weak, too inexperienced in actual combat.”
Qingfeng Li thrust forward with the Peacock Long Sword in his hand, the tip of the sword stopping just short of the long-haired beauty’s throat.
The long-haired beauty’s delicate face grew pale as her body trembled. She did not dare move, afraid that, if she did, the Peacock Long Sword in Qingfeng Li’s hand would pierce her throat, killing her on the spot.
