Chapter 1340 Huo Xinghei’s story!
Ever since she could remember, Qiu Xinli knew that she would be the next "sword wielder" of the Qiu family.
Among the five royal noble families in Nevernight, the Mercury family and the Qiu family both serve the God of Life. Although the God of Life will send down the "Double God's Choice", both the Qiu family and the Mercury family know that the so-called "Double God's Choice" is just a nice name.
In fact, these "double gods' choices" are divided into partial and main ones - and the "partial" one is just the god's favorite.
Compared with other legitimate chosen ones, although they can communicate directly with gods and listen to oracles, they do not have the same powerful power as the chosen ones.
In the past fifty years, the Chosen God has not descended upon the Qiu family for five consecutive generations.
Under such circumstances, the Qiu family was still not kicked out of the ranks of royal nobles, nor was it completely swallowed up by the Mercury family. They were even able to occasionally gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Mercury family. This was precisely because of the divine weapon controlled by the Qiu family.
"Contemplation of white bones" and "Contemplation of impurity".
These artifacts are all in the shape of long swords, with great power and the ability to kill. After recognizing their master, they can enable the holder to gain enough combat power to compete head-on with the chosen one of God.
Therefore, the Qiu family can be without a patriarch or a chosen one, but it absolutely cannot be without a "sword wielder".
Qiu Xinli still remembers the expressions that flashed across the faces of her father and the elders of the family when she was five years old and was chosen as the "knife bearer", came into contact with the "view of white bones" for the first time, and the long knife trembled and rang.
First there was surprise, then ecstasy, and then after uncontrollable cheers, expressions of forbearance and restraint appeared on everyone's faces.
"No one should leak today's news."
The father, the head of the family, blocked the news and even ordered the execution of the servants and waiters who had witnessed the ceremony that day.
The elders used alchemical constraints to swear an oath and present their souls before the God of Life to ensure that they would never leak the news.
After that day, Qiu Xinli became the object of the entire Qiu family's full training.
"Xinli, from the moment you were born... no, before you were born, I had already screened your genes and your life situation. I was certain that you would possess an impressive talent - but I didn't expect that your talent would be even higher than I imagined."
"You are a gift from the God of Alchemy and Miracles to our family... You will surely make the Qiu family even more glorious and prosperous. In the future, you will not only be the 'Knife Wielder,' you will also become... the 'Chosen of Life'!"
Qiu Xinli remembered those words clearly.
However, it was only after she grew up that she realized how unique she was.
But even after realizing this, Qiu Xinli still didn't feel anything about it.
She is a born strong person and the chosen one who shoulders the fate of her family.
The talent that made the head of the Qiu family and the entire Qiu family place high hopes on Qiu Xinli is not complicated to explain.
The bloodlines of each royal and noble family have an affinity far beyond that of ordinary people for the alchemy and alchemical active energy in the alchemy lineage they possess.
The Qiu family's bloodline is not just like this for alchemy - it is easy for the Qiu family's direct bloodline to give birth to individuals who are also extremely friendly to "alchemical creations".
Even members of the Mercury Family, who are also followers of the God of Life, cannot use the "Contemplation of White Bones" and "Contemplation of Impurity" because the energy contained in these two divine swords is too chaotic and cannot be controlled by anyone except the direct descendants of the Qiu Family.
Even the direct descendants of the Qiu family, although the knife wielders of all generations can control these two artifacts, they will also shorten their lifespans or fall into madness and illness in their later years - that is madness and illness that not even the resources of the royal nobles can cure or suppress.
It depends on how strong the innate "affinity" talent is.
And Qiu Xinli...
Only the most core members of the Qiu family knew that the joyful trembling of the long sword after she touched the "White Bone View" that day revealed something.
She can completely integrate with the "view of white bones".
This doesn't just mean that Qiu Xinli can master two divine weapons.
This also means that Qiu Xinli's own aversion to "alchemical creations" and alchemical energy, whether it is soul or body, is infinitely close to zero.
Her tolerance for alchemical creations is 100%.
There will be no side effects from any alchemical surgery on her, and no discount on the effectiveness of any alchemical artifacts that vary from person to person after being implanted.
As long as it is alchemical implantation and alchemical transformation, Qiu Xinli can bear it without any burden.
and so……
After thirteen years of this.
Even though the Qiu family deliberately concealed Qiu Xinli's abilities, her strength became immediately apparent after she became the director of the R&D department of Shenli Group.
With just a few moves, she and her brother became the most dazzling twin stars of the Qiu family among the younger generation of nobles in the City That Never Sleeps.
But Qiu Xinli still didn't think it was a big deal - she was destined to achieve these achievements since she was born.
She will not have any confusion or doubts.
Although she stands at a very high position now, this is just because she is walking on the path of life that she should have.
In her life, apart from the possibility of having to participate in the competition for "Life Chosen" in the future, which might take some time and bring some uncertainty, there is nothing else worthy of her concern.
include……
In the wilderness, he ambushed and killed several other royal nobles, and killed the retainers of the Buyetian family.
It should be so.
Even if the man in front of him named "John H. Arthur" has some more difficult methods than expected, it is nothing more than asking him to use more alchemical prostheses and alchemy.
Of course, Qiu Xinli is not arrogant.
She is aware of her own formidable strength, but she also knows the truth that "even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit."
Although this retainer of the Buye Tian family in front of him definitely cannot beat him, he still has to take this battle seriously.
Because in actual "battles", there are examples of "the weak defeating the strong" - although Qiu Xinli has never seen it, at least it has not happened to her, but she does not think that such a thing will definitely not happen.
and so……
Although she was a little annoyed by Buyetian Huoxing and that damn raccoon, Qiu Xinli still made the right judgment.
We still have to kill that "Arthur" first, kill the most threatening guy.
The violent sandstorm cut off his connection with the "Sky King" hub that was supporting him from above, but it didn't matter.
At this moment, there were enough twisted lives created by the frenzied life energy to make her call this place her "home ground."
This is also the best time to unleash the power of "viewing bones".
Qiu Xinli looked at the man in front of her and poured her own life energy into the "White Bone View".
Those crazy plants and flesh became even more agitated and began to further restrict each other's actions.
Although the opponent's "butterfly wings" were of extremely high level, and seemed to have some advanced usage that Qiu Xinli could not understand at the moment, allowing the opponent to often move abnormally and in seemingly anti-mechanical trajectories, this trivial skill was becoming increasingly inefficient and useless under the blockade of vegetation and flesh and blood.
Soon, Qiu Xinli locked onto the other party's range of activities.
"This level of activity... is fine."
Qiu Xinli thought about it and mentioned the "view of white bones".
Then...
She swung it down towards the area where the other party was.
It was a very casual slash, so casual that Qiu Xinli didn't even hit the target, she just slashed in the general direction of the opponent.
But this seemingly random slash had enough impact.
Although it was just a "swing of the sword", it was a range attack that activated the core ability of "Bone View".
The core of the supreme alchemy of the life lineage is how to transform "vitality force into alchemically active energy with life attributes" and how to transform "alchemically active energy with life attributes into vitality."
The function of this "view of white bones" is to forcibly activate the former - it can directly convert the vitality of living things into active energy and extract and absorb it.
And Qiu Xinli's knife strike just now...
Wherever the blade passes, the grass and trees wither and the flesh and blood dry up.
In front of the place where she drew her sword, there was a fan-shaped area of about five or six meters. All the life energy and vitality seemed to be drawn into a whirlpool and sucked into the "White Bone View"!
include……
Lin Yu had nowhere to retreat.
"Damn-!"
Lin Yu let out a low growl, and his hair turned visibly gray.
A lot of vitality was lost from his body, so much so that his movements became much slower.
After all, "Alchemy Butterfly Wings" also belongs to the "Life Lineage", and it is difficult not to be affected by such an attack.
However, even after losing his "butterfly wings", Lin Yu was still not defeated by this move - he still dragged his old and slow body with a large loss of vitality, and flew backwards under the gust of wind.
but……
"ended."
Although the opponent used the wind to increase the distance this time, he had lost his "butterfly wings" and was unable to control the landing point freely.
Qiu Xinli sighed a little.
Sure enough, although the opponent was quite capable, he was still no match for him.
With the help of the alchemical prosthesis in her body that accelerated her movement, her figure flashed in front of Lin Yu.
She raised the long sword, ready to use it to pierce the opponent's body and completely absorb his remaining vitality.
only……
The moment Qiu Xinli raised the knife, her eyes met Arthur's, and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.
Although this guy's expression was "horrified" and his eyes revealed his "fear" of himself, but... wasn't his reaction a little too quick?
Most of the people I killed were somewhat dazed at the last moment of their lives.
Especially the guy whose vitality was drained and whose reaction was slow... How did he manage to lock his eyes on the point where he landed?
"Coincidence?"
Qiu Xinli was a little confused, but the long sword in her hand did not stop and fell suddenly.
And at this moment...
"Snapped!"
Qiu Xinli felt that the long sword's descent was blocked.
In the shadows, Buyetian Huoxing's seemingly delicate and frail right hand, or more precisely, the sword finger formed by the index and middle fingers of his right hand, held up the blade of the "White Bone Temple".
Huo Xing from Buyetian spoke with a smile on her face and a bad tone.
"Really? You should have kept your promise and killed me first."
"That way, I can 'struggle' and 'hold on' to hold you back, and then finally, when Director Arthur reveals a trump card, I can 'narrowly defeat you' or 'escape with difficulty'."
"But you want to kill my friend—I can't just sit back and watch this with a playful attitude, Qiu Xinli."
And in the wind and sand, behind Buyetian Huoxing, Lin Yu's voice also sounded slowly.
"I told you, your judgment is wrong, Your Excellency Qiu Xinli."
"The strongest person among us right now...is the respected Lord Huo Xing of Buyetian."
