Chapter 1092: The Terrifying Glove

Whoosh!

A chilling cold spread in front of the gate, causing hundreds of people to tremble with fear.

With just a glance, Lu Caiwei unleashed an extremely terrifying aura of killing intent. The power of the Dao surged out like a raging river, unmistakably revealing her Heavenly Tier cultivation!

Instantly, exclamations erupted!

"What?! Heavenly Tier cultivation?!"

"My heavens, she's also at the Heavenly Tier?!"

"Miss Lu... Miss Lu has already broken through to the Heavenly Tier! As expected of a former prodigy!"

"Bold! What do you mean 'former'? Isn't Miss Lu still one now?!"

"Ah, yes, yes! Miss Lu truly lives up to her reputation as one of the Three Peerless Talents of Nanli!"

In the blink of an eye, public opinion shifted dramatically. Under the pressure of her overwhelming cultivation, the crowd grew wary!

Most people now looked at her with reverence, their expressions cautious and ingratiating. Ordinary onlookers were too frightened to speak.

Lu Caiwei didn't spare them a second glance, her lips curling slightly as if it were only natural.

This was the honor and awe that rightfully belonged to her!

Today, she would reclaim it a thousandfold!

Seeing that confident and cold expression, and feeling the undeniable power of her Heavenly Tier cultivation, Qing Yin Xianyun's heart sank. She couldn't help but feel a sense of wariness toward this woman.

She wasn't afraid to confront her, but the visitor's demeanor and cultivation had changed drastically. Provoking a conflict now would undoubtedly affect her future cultivation, potentially leading to endless trouble.

Women understand women best. Once jealousy takes root, it becomes endless, no less intense than a blood feud.

Qing Yin Xianyun carried the hopes and ideals of the Moon God Pavilion on her shoulders. She didn't have time to waste on petty disputes.

After a moment of contemplation, she decided to temporarily retreat.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Senior Sister Lu."

"I merely stumbled upon this empty reputation. My talent and cultivation are far inferior to yours, as everyone can clearly see. Your name as a prodigy will surely spread far and wide."

"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. If fate allows us to meet again, I'll shamelessly seek your guidance on cultivation."

With that, Qing Yin Xianyun nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

Her calm and uncontentious demeanor only deepened the crowd's admiration. Even though she was also at the Heavenly Tier, Qing Yin Xianyun garnered more admiration from the onlookers.

This magnanimity only fueled Lu Caiwei's confidence.

In her eyes, this was a sign of weakness. Now that her cultivation had soared, how could she not press her advantage?

Lu Caiwei lowered her gaze and let out a cold chuckle, then loudly called out to stop her.

"Wait!"

"I, Lu Caiwei, have always conducted myself with honor, whether in victory or defeat! How can you casually bestow the title of prodigy upon me?"

"If you flee from today's battle, I will seek out the Moon God Pavilion. When the time comes to determine the victor, I will let the entire Nanli Heavenly Domain know that your Moon God Pavilion is nothing but a bunch of frauds!"

Hiss...

This wasn't just about settling a personal score; she was aiming to humiliate an entire sect!

Her ruthless words shocked the crowd into silence, the sound of gasps echoing in the air.

The atmosphere shifted dramatically!

The onlookers, who had initially come for the spectacle, now sensed that they were about to witness a life-and-death battle.

No one dared to speak, and the entire crowd stepped back in awe.

Finally.

Qing Yin Xianyun's bottom line was crossed. She nodded calmly and responded without fear or favor.

"Very well, in that case, I will face you in battle."

She had repeatedly backed down, not wanting to waste time on trivial matters. But Lu Caiwei's arrogance and overbearing attitude had escalated to the point of insulting the Moon God Pavilion.

Having retreated time and again, Qing Yin Xianyun had no more room to yield.

She didn't seek trouble, but she wasn't afraid to face a Heavenly Tier expert either!

Seeing her opponent's solemn expression as she accepted the challenge, Lu Caiwei's face broke into a confident smile.

"Good! Today, I'll make sure you admit defeat with complete conviction!"

Her words carried the absolute confidence of a victor.

Lu Caiwei no longer regarded the crowd with any importance. Even as she prepared to face Qing Yin Xianyun, she treated it as if she were dealing with a child—effortlessly, yet without a hint of mercy or restraint.

She channeled the terrifying power within her, and instantly, dark clouds gathered, and a fierce wind began to howl!

Lu Caiwei finally revealed the smile she had been longing to show, eagerly anticipating the sight of her opponent kneeling in defeat. Her expression grew even more twisted.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph!"

"Today, I will tear off your mask and let the world see that the Moon God Pavilion is nothing but a hollow reputation!"

Her beautiful face now radiated malice, her ugly nature fully exposed!

Her Heavenly Tier cultivation erupted in full force. A sinister black mist coiled around her jade-like fingers, quickly thickening and forming into the shape of black gauze gloves, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The pure black color continuously exuded an icy coldness.

The onlookers paled and retreated in fear, while the members of the Heavenly Blade Sect watched with trepidation.

Hearing the venomous words, Qing Yin Xianyun felt a surge of anger. Seeing such a terrifying scene, she also grew cautious, especially when she noticed the black gloves. The pressure on her intensified.

Lu Caiwei had indeed gone too far, but her strength was unnaturally powerful, seemingly surpassing even the average first-rank Heavenly Tier...

If she retreated again, disaster would surely follow!

Without hesitation, Qing Yin Xianyun took out her treasured secret gloves and unleashed her full Dao power.

A green light erupted, clashing head-on with the black mist!

Before they even made a move.

The collision of Dao powers had already stirred up violent waves, their might spreading for thousands of miles, causing the guests at the gate to collapse like a tide!

Seeing Lu Caiwei strike out with a fierce palm strike.

Qing Yin Xianyun didn't dare to underestimate her opponent and met the attack with both palms!

Though her palms carried extraordinary Dao power, they were no match for the black mist. The green light was on the verge of being swallowed!

As for the gloves she wore...

They seemed utterly ordinary, without even a hint of extra aura.

At best, they were merely Saint-grade treasures.

Witnessing the close-quarters palm strike, Lu Caiwei's face was filled with a triumphant smile, already foreseeing her overwhelming victory. She pushed her palm forward with all her might.

In that split second!

A blinding green light suddenly erupted!

The dazzling radiance of a peerless treasure burst forth, causing Lu Caiwei's expression to freeze!

Immediately after!

A terrifying force surged from the seemingly ordinary gloves, engulfing all the black mist. Even then, the overwhelming pressure didn't stop, rushing forward like a raging river!

Lu Caiwei's face changed drastically, her arms feeling as heavy as lead!

In her consciousness.

A pair of eyes suddenly opened, their horrified gaze piercing through the black mist!

"This..."

In the next moment, a flood of Dao power swept everything away!

All sounds were drowned out!

Lu Caiwei, like a floating weed in the water, was sent flying into the sky by the torrent, her face filled with utter shock, vanishing like a shooting star into the horizon!

The force spread for tens of thousands of miles before the figure finally fell from the heavens!

"Boom!!!"

The mountains shook, the deafening sound scattering birds and beasts.

The figure crashed into the mountainside, splitting the verdant peak in two. Rocks and debris flew everywhere, and dust billowed like a desert storm.

Who knows how long passed...

Lu Caiwei, her face pale, struggled to open her eyes. Her body was immobile, wracked with unbearable pain, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

The once stunning beauty was now embedded in the mountain's rocks, covered in dust and dirt, yet her eyes still betrayed her shock and fear.

"Cough, cough..."

"This... this can't be!"

After a few difficult coughs, Lu Caiwei's face was filled with lingering fear.

Her eyes no longer held confidence or pride, only waves of shock and panic.

One palm strike!

Just one palm strike, and despite her greatly enhanced cultivation, she had been severely injured to this extent!?

She couldn't accept it.

She, who should have been basking in glory and crushing all opposition, had been reduced to such a pitiful state!

Shame and rage surged within her. Lu Caiwei, ignoring her injuries, let out a near-maddened roar, her eyes filled with disbelief!

"This can't be!"

"Why is this happening? Why is that bitch so strong?!"

After a few more roars, Lu Caiwei suddenly paused.

She seemed to realize something was amiss, her eyes filled with resentment as she sent a mental message.

"Did you deceive me?"

"The inheritance of the demon race couldn't possibly be this weak. Did you lie to me?!"

In her consciousness, a hoarse voice slowly responded.

Equally filled with shock, as if it too had been shaken!

"How could I deceive you?!"

"You have indeed received the inheritance of my demon race, but that woman is simply too strong. Her Dao power is unnaturally pure, likely due to an extraordinary cultivation technique."

"Especially those gloves... there's something truly strange about them!"

"This woman is unreasonably powerful, far beyond the average Heavenly Tier. Your defeat this time was truly unexpected..."

The wary voice echoed, causing Lu Caiwei's eyes to tremble.

That bitch was so strong that even the demon race felt a hint of fear. Could it be that she had even greater backing than the demon race?

And those gloves.

A single palm strike had left her severely injured.

If an ordinary Heavenly Tier expert faced them, wouldn't they be annihilated on the spot?

They seemed so ordinary, yet they were terrifyingly powerful...

After a few moments of reflection, Lu Caiwei grew angrier and angrier!

"You once said that with the inheritance, I would become the number one in Lanxing. Yet, facing that bitch, I suffered such a crushing defeat. The demon race is nothing special!"

"If I had known this, I never would have believed your promises!"

The eyes in her consciousness trembled with anger.

After a few moments of silence, they finally spoke, trying to calm her.

"My demon race dominates the universe. How could our inheritance be inferior to others?!"

"You've only just received the inheritance and haven't fully awakened your potential. In time, you will undoubtedly surpass all in Lanxing! This defeat is merely... an exception!"

"With time, you will surely make a name for yourself in Lanxing."

Hearing this, Lu Caiwei's expression softened slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, she nodded coldly.

"Fine, I'll believe you this once."

"But once I've avenged myself, our agreement will need additional terms. Otherwise, I can't trust you!"

The black mist in her consciousness agreed without hesitation.

"Very well. I admire your greed. As long as you serve my demon race, you will have everything!"

Only then did Lu Caiwei calm down, taking a pill to heal her injuries.

"Next time, I will definitely wipe away this humiliation!"

In her heart, she secretly resolved that those gloves, which even the demon race feared, must be extraordinary treasures. She would get her hands on them, no matter what!
