Chapter 247: Old Scoundrel, Don

The power of his bloodline surged through his body, instantly restoring the finger holes in the armor to their original state.

Generally speaking.

For an ordinary Stone Person's bloodline, if the 【Jiangkai】 awakens, it's merely comparable to Initial-stage Earth Rank.

But his bloodline has been purified, so it's effectively Mid-grade Earth Rank, even bordering on Gao Jie.

Precisely because of this.

Meng Zhangqing dared not activate the 【Linglong Daluo Tian】 at first.

"No wonder he's a Creation Realm."

Meng Zhangqing gazed at the Mo Sect Elder.

With the momentum of his sword, his combat power when wielding sword techniques was already no weaker than that of an ordinary Creation Realm.

But in other aspects, he couldn't match him.

For example, speed.

The movement technique fueled by true qi was simply too fast.

Fast enough that most Sea Opening Realm cultivators couldn't react in time.

They'd be killed up close.

"Looks like I'll have to use a secret technique—otherwise, I stand no chance against a Creation Realm; the gap in other areas is too great."

Meng Zhangqing took a shallow breath, a smile appearing on his face.

Though they'd only exchanged one blow, his many suspicions had been confirmed.

Next.

It was time to get serious!

"Boy, your defensive technique is impressive, but to think you can win me with it alone is pure fantasy."

The Mo Sect Elder said grimly.

"Keep fighting, and you'll find out."

Meng Zhangqing held his sword with one hand.

Inside him, the 【Linglong Daluo Tian】 began to stir silently.

His entire aura was rapidly rising.

"Good, good, good—I've never met anyone as arrogant as you."

"Soon, I'll show you what a great realm gap truly means!"

The Mo Sect Elder's voice turned icy.

He struck again.

His speed became even faster.

Even afterimages vanished—only faint streaks of bloodlight slowly faded in the void.

"Die!"

In an instant, he appeared behind Meng Zhangqing.

This claw strike, though not full power, still carried at least eighty percent of his strength.

Not even a Sea Opening Realm cultivator could withstand it without grave injury!

Yet just as the Mo Sect Elder's cruel smile formed.

Ding!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out.

The expected scene—his defensive technique shattered, this man pierced through the heart—did not occur.

Instead.

His five fingers had stopped dead against the armor's surface, unable to sink in as they had before!

"How is this possible?!"

This claw strike was far stronger than the last one.

There was no reason it couldn't pierce through.

Wait.

The Mo Sect Elder suddenly narrowed his pupils.

For he realized—the armor was pulsing with a familiar energy.

That was…

"True qi!"

The Mo Sect Elder gasped, his face filled with shock.

He couldn't comprehend how a Sea Opening Realm cultivator could possess true qi!

Isn't that exclusive to Creation Realm?!"

"Correct—but no prize!"

Meng Zhangqing spun around sharply and slashed downward with his sword!

Song!

The Mo Sect Elder snapped back to awareness and activated his movement technique.

He transformed into a streak of bloodlight to evade.

Flashing dozens of meters away.

But Meng Zhangqing followed like a coiling dragon!

Also fueled by true qi.

Then he can keep up!
