Chapter 290: For Qiao Wan!

In the midst of the dark and chaotic horde of beasts in the sky, a beam of sword light suddenly burst through the clouds, as if a mighty hand of the heavens had shattered them all. One after another, more sword lights followed suit.

Their purpose this time was to lure the enemy deeper, not to get entangled in battle. With a loud roar from everyone, all the swordsmen began to retreat in unison.

These strange birds were intelligent creatures, born to be obedient war machines. Each battle came with a significant loss of lives.

This time was no different.

Qiao Wan grabbed the collar of a young swordsman who was a step too slow in retreating, narrowly avoiding being dragged into the flock of birds. She swiftly swung her sword, cleaving through the bird's skull. Blood and sweat dripped down Qiao Wan's face as she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Hurry, run!"

The young swordsman, who she had caught by the collar, was taken aback.

To be honest, Qi Feidao felt a bit unwilling to accept orders from a young girl like Qiao Wan to lead the troops. Their proud sword cultivators couldn't help but feel a bit resistant. However, right now, the fierce determination in this girl's eyes made them unknowingly follow her commands.

These sword cultivators, who had just recently joined the battlefield, were feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Surprisingly, with a slight pursing of her lips, Qiao Wan seemed to be extremely accustomed to the sight of bloodshed on the battlefield. This habit seemed to be ingrained in her very being.

Retreat, retreat, retreat.

Looking in the direction of Ma Huaizhen and the others, in the distance, the sword formation in the sky looked like a clear and precise chessboard.

Noticing the sword formation in front of them slowly moving backward, the strange birds in the sky began to gather and gradually formed a swirling vortex, with air currents bursting all around!

"This is a vortex!!" The young sword cultivator, held in Qiao Wan's hand, widened his eyes and quickly shouted to warn Qiao Wan, "Taoist Friend Qiao, retreat quickly!"

Qiao Wan stared deeply at the swirling "bird tornado" in front of her.

Below, many students from the Mathematics Department were busy writing furiously, recording this "bird tornado".

A young swordsman became anxious and exclaimed, "Taoist Friend Qiao?!!"

They had encountered this thing several times before in battle. When these strange birds formed a vortex and charged towards them, it could shatter their sword formation. Wherever it went, a powerful force could tear any living thing into pieces.

Fortunately, Qiao Wan finally shouted loudly and threw the young man back neatly. She immediately retreated into the predetermined range for firepower support!

Even though the swordsmen knew that there would be new tactics soon, they still had some worries and couldn't let go of their hearts.

Just as the "bird tornado" was getting closer and closer, Ma Huaizhen, Gongsun Bingzi, and others who were thousands of miles away couldn't help but hold their breath, their hearts pounding.

With a command from Qi Feidao,

In the sky, a powerful swirl of blue and orange lights soared upwards, colliding with the unstoppable "tornado"! In an instant, the sound of screaming filled the air, and from the midst of the tornado, numerous scattered bodies fell down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Followed closely by the second, third, and fourth sounds!

It was like thousands of horses racing across the sky! With each sound, brilliant fireworks exploded in the midst of this dark and chaotic animal tide. The "tornado" went from being uneasy to collapsing and gradually dissipated.

When the time came, Ma Huaizhen's expression became serious. From a distance, he commanded by raising his hand and shouting, "Formation cultivators, sword cultivators, attack!"

Immediately, the formation cultivators set up their formations without pause, aiding the sword cultivators in their sudden assault.

After their formations were scattered by energy projectiles, the sword cultivators swiftly followed, like shooting stars across the sky, piercing through the dark clouds, their battle cries shaking the heavens!

Although formations can attract things like thunder and fire, there is a fatal flaw.

They are too slow and need to be set up in advance. If the formation is broken, it becomes almost impossible to continue using it. The battlefield changes rapidly, and sometimes there isn't even enough time to set up the formation.

In the end, it's all about swordsmanship.

Talismans can create small explosions like thunder, but they are consumable and have limited power.

And now, these spiritual energy cannons are shaking the heavens and earth like a fierce storm. The thick clouds in the sky are swirling, resembling a flying dragon. It is absolutely one of the most shocking scenes everyone has ever witnessed.

Even a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage can unleash unparalleled power using these "firearms".

This is... Gongsun Bingzi said in astonishment, the power of humans?

Humans are indeed powerful, they become strong through determination and progress.

This time, Qiao Wan, an elder martial sister from Masui City, had never felt such satisfaction from killing before.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The sword in her hand struck like thunder, ruthlessly slicing through the flock of strange birds! It felt like releasing all the pent-up anger from being chased.

After a while, the shrill cries and mournful wails grew weaker and weaker. The "dark clouds" in the sky finally dispersed, revealing a glimmer of golden light.

As the battle gradually calmed down, a strange thought suddenly crossed Qiao Wan's mind.

Is what she's doing really right?

At that moment, Qiao Wan became deeply confused and uncertain. It wasn't because she felt pity for the birds' gruesome deaths.

She had seen how brutal wars could be in the era of modern weapons, in the news...

And what about her, the current her, willingly brought these weapons of war to this era. It is indeed exhilarating to win this war right now, but what about later? When these large-scale weapons of destruction are actually used on the battlefield, countless people will lose their lives.

They might be used by the demon realm or they might become tools to maintain control...

Was what she did really right?

Even though she only killed these strange birds for now, as she stared at her blood-soaked hands, Qiao Wan became lost in thought, as if she could already foresee the thousands of undead that would die because of her rashness.

Just then, a warm and rough hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, and Qi Feidao warmly embraced her, smiling and saying, "Come, the leader wants to see you."

A faint look of satisfaction finally appeared on the young man's face, with a hint of recklessness in his eyes.

Qiao Wan calmed her emotions and followed Qi Feidao to the giant Souvenir Stone. Finally, she saw the legendary "Kunshan Death God," Ma Huaizhen, also known as Hall Master Ma.

To be honest, when she saw the Souvenir Stone, Qiao Wan couldn't help but be startled. The man in the picture could hardly be considered "one" man; he could only be described as "half." He was missing an arm and a leg, with half of his face disfigured. He wore a black suit, drenched in blood, with a cold and fierce look in his eyes.

Then.s magnetic, confident, and unhurried voice sounded.

"Qiao Wan."

Qiao Wan hesitated and uncertainly asked, "Hall... Master Ma?"

Seeing the girl's confused and bewildered face, Ma Huaizhen was convinced that Qiao Wan had indeed lost her memory completely.

But now was not the time to help her regain her memory. He had more important things to do.

The man gently touched his fingers, then asked in a deep voice, "I heard Qi Feidao say this, but was it your idea?"

Even though it was their first meeting, she felt a natural and familiar connection with the man. Even though he went straight to the point, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

So, with Qi Feidao , Qiu Ergou , Fu Xuan , and others witnessing on one side, and Gongsun Bingzi and Cen Zicheng representing the cultivation alliance on the other side, the old and the young began to ask and answer rapidly.

Ma Huaizhen asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Hall Master Ma replied, "There are still many things we can do."

"For example," Qiao Wan paused, pursing her dry lips, "like anatomizing."

"It means cutting open a body."

Anatomize?! In an instant, a thousand waves of shock rose.

Upon hearing this shocking and unconventional idea, Gongsun Bingzi and others exchanged startled glances.

"Yes, cutting open a body, like a forensic examiner determining the cause of death. Our medical cultivation can verify the source of illness."

Qiao Wan felt like she was going crazy.

Maybe this was a way for her to make up for designing military things, she thought.

For some reason, ever since she "traveled through time," her memories became extremely clear. It was as if she had a library in her mind. She could find anything she had seen, even if it was just a glance, in this vast "library" of hers.

Qiao Wan was horrified to realize that she could even recite every word from her elementary school textbooks!

Providing her with over ten years of basic education was probably the only thing she could do, Qiao Wan thought numbly.

"I don't know if the laws of physics and chemistry in this world are different from our world," Qiao Wan said subtly, meeting Ma Huaizhen's gaze. "We can only wait for confirmation and further research."

The best outcome would be a world similar to superhero stories, where scientific principles and these abilities coexist.

Just then, another thin and sharp-eyed young man suddenly spoke, "What about the system?"

System?

Qiao Wan looked at the young man blankly and honestly replied, "I don't think it's possible."

The economic foundation determines the social superstructure, that's something every high school student knows. In the world of cultivation now, neither communism nor capitalism can be implemented.

"It can't be done if the level of productivity can't keep up." To help the young man understand, Qiao Wan explained what "productivity" meant.

Perhaps in the future, someone will come up with a new system to discuss, but that's something for later, definitely not now.

Just then, a voice filled with joy suddenly sounded behind Qiao Wan.

"We won!! We won!!"

Turning around, the elder martial sisters wiped the blood off their faces, their spirits high and the pent-up frustration in their chests dissipated on this day. Their gazes couldn't help but fall on Qiao Wan!

At that moment, the girl standing on the city wall seemed unbelievably beautiful with the sunlight behind her. Her bow was cute and friendly, her face had a faint glow, and it had a delicate shimmer like white jade.

It's unclear who started it first, but suddenly everyone lifted Qiao Wan up, bustling around in excitement!

Even Ma Huaizhen, who was usually serious and stern, was startled. After seeing what was happening, he couldn't help but laugh and curse, "Damn, these bunch of rascals!"

The proud and courageous swordsmen, both men and women, eagerly lifted Qiao Wan up and threw her into the sky.

After a moment of confusion, Qiao Wan felt like her head was spinning: "Wait! Hold on!"

Someone shouted loudly, "Qiao Wan!!!"

"Qiao Wan!!!"

Followed by a resounding chorus of "Qiao Wan!!" "Qiao Wan!!!"

"Our Qiao Wan!!!"

"Our Qiao Wan!!! Let's go!"

"Attack!"

"For Masui City, for Qiao Wan!!"
