The killing intent, chilling to the marrow, the vast, dazzling sword light like a streaking meteor, left the grotesque face of the Bloodsucking Old Demon frozen in shock—his Five Ghosts Spirit Control technique seemed useless against this lightning. A wall of blood began to coalesce before him, but Gu Qing’s sword qi surged forth, one blade arriving without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shua!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodsucking Old Demon felt his vision split apart; when he regained his senses, a chunk of his skull had been sheared off. The five ghosts writhed around him, faintly turning to devour their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wan Jianyi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wan Jianyi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This single strike awakened the inner demons of Duanmu the Ancestor and Bai Du Zi; both men felt as if they had been thrust back a hundred years, to the moment they encountered Wan Jianyi—his sword sweeping open and closed, invincible, leaving Duanmu and Bai Du Zi too terrified to return to the Sacred Hall, forced to watch helplessly as Wan Jianyi tore their base apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Gu Qing was the same—his sword’s electric light scattered wildly, stirring grass, trees, and rocks into chaotic torrents, as if a celestial deity were wielding divine power, unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow Wan Jianyi cast has returned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Du Zi turned and fled; Duanmu the Ancestor, just a step slower, was struck by sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword force of Yin-Yang Shattering the Void, combined with the lightning-charged speed and Gu Qing’s own sword skill and martial prowess, made Gu Qing at this moment feel like he had unlocked Wu Shuang. Duanmu the Ancestor resisted—but in a flash of light, his head flew upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon’s eyes widened as he stared at Gu Qing, wreathed in lightning; he felt Gu Qing’s threat now far exceeded that of the lightning from the True Scripture of Divine Sword Controlling Lightning—or rather, Gu Qing’s sword art surpassed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a bolt of lightning strikes with a roar, but in Gu Qing’s hands, it flowed as smoothly as a Ruyi scepter, striking precisely where the enemy was weakest, exploiting every opening. At this moment, Gu Qing’s spiritual intent was fully focused, radiating the essence of the Cihang Sword Scripture’s “Ceasing at the Ultimate Shore.” He was here, yet not here; to the Green Dragon, Gu Qing was enveloped in lightning yet left no trace—clearly before him, yet evoking a silent, suffocating dread. Each sword strike came as if falling from the heavens or surging from the earth, utterly without pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flickered, electric hums vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered lightning exploded among the Demon Cultists; in an instant, electric light filled the air, dazzling all around, limbs severed and flying. Bai Du Zi was pierced through the back; the Green Dragon, heart pounding, activated the Qiankun Qingguang Ring to its full power, erecting layered barriers—just as he prepared to block, Gu Qing’s sword arrived, slicing through like a blade through air, and the barriers shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon’s face turned bluish-purple; at last, he caught Gu Qing’s sword trace, raised his fist, and unleashed a green sword light—the two clashed in a brilliant explosion brighter than the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds scattered, gales swept wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sheathed his sword and stood facing the Green Dragon across dozens of zhang, nodding in approval: “Green Dragon, not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Eightfold Dragon, Jiumozhi  demonstrated the Formless Jie Finger at the Tianlong Temple; his technique left no trace. The Tianlong Temple’s Benxiang Monk asked how to counter it, and Jiumozhi  replied: “Look to Benxiang’s name—use form to break formlessness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Gu Qing’s sword light had blazed open and closed, leaving no trace; the Green Dragon erected layered barriers precisely to use form to break formlessness. When Gu Qing struck with the Break Qi Technique, the Green Dragon, through those barriers, discerned the direction of Gu Qing’s sword art and managed to meet his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this move that earned Gu Qing’s admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon’s lips curled slightly. The last time he met Gu Qing, Gu Qing had used sword and fist in harmony, producing countless techniques and breaking his arm. Now, meeting again, Gu Qing’s sword had cut down many, yet the Green Dragon had only blocked one strike—and still received Gu Qing’s praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap in strength between them was widening rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Budi and Ceng Shuchang stared at Gu Qing in shock; they had not expected that in just two or three years, Gu Qing had become a master on their level—perhaps even superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao glanced subtly at Xiao Yicai; surely Xiao Yicai now felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yicai suddenly spat blood, his aura withering as he collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Budi, Ceng Shuchang, and the disciples rushed forward; seeing Xiao Yicai spitting blood and weakened, their expressions were filled with concern—and also complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing is outstanding, but do you really have to spit blood? Don’t you have any tolerance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangsong Daoist watched Xiao Yicai, his face grim, secretly smiling: Gu Qing is Master Wan’s disciple; Xiao Yicai is Daoxuan’s disciple. Master Wan wins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Cultists seized the chance to retreat; Qing Yun disciples charged forward in pursuit. Gu Qing, radiant and energized, sheathed his sword and saw Xiao Yicai spitting blood—he paused, then said: “My apologies, it’s my fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gu Qing’s Taiji Xuanqing Dao energy flowed, severing the shared damage link with Xiao Yicai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Counterflow? It’s just counterflow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: All things in heaven and earth have limits; wielding the Zhuxian Sword invites counterflow; wielding the Soul-Devouring Rod invites counterflow; Gu Qing’s sword technique just now drew lightning into his body, which also invited counterflow—but Gu Qing possessed the Great Brahma Sutra, his meridians tough and resilient, like wearing armor—he suffered no injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yicai was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Gu Qing had activated “Shared Damage” with Xiao Yicai to absorb a blow, then plunged into the Demon Cultists, slaughtering freely—he forgot to turn off the link. Xiao Yicai had not cultivated the Great Brahma Sutra and could not withstand this counterflow; suddenly, his five viscera and six bowels felt warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internal injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this explanation, the Qing Yun Sect members realized they had misjudged Xiao Yicai. Tian Budi immediately fed him the Great Yellow Pill to heal his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangsong Daoist watched it all, smiling: Master Wan’s disciple can withstand counterflow directly; Daoxuan’s disciple cannot. Master Wan wins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Qing Yun Sect, the strongest of the current generation and the strongest of the previous generation—there seems to be a verdict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4dae780e0f381830abf8a4b7fe217037ea4f34cd2a69589b6af1a386611a208e","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-324","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-322",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
