Chapter 423

"Boring!"

Chonglou looked coldly at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. He had finally caught an opponent who could show off his skills, and just as he was preparing to tease him properly, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden intervened. The two of them attacked together and beat this "playable" opponent away.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden didn't think about whether it was interesting or boring. She reached out, and chains formed on their own, first taking Ao Xu down.

"Mysterious Maiden, you are not fit to be the Great Elder of the Divine Realm at all. You are too weak!"

Ao Xu shouted sternly at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, "The Three Sovereigns Alliance has already become yesterday's flower. Chonglou runs rampant in the Six Realms. Why should our Divine Race abide by the rules!" This time, the failure made Ao Xu feel that he was too observant of the rules. The Three Sovereigns Alliance he had worked so hard to scheme for was not even in Chonglou's eyes.

But Ao Xu couldn't do it. There were too many rules in the Divine Realm. If he offended them even a little, he would be punished by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

"Before this, you were the Elder of Punishment of the Divine Realm, and you were the person who valued rules the most."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said indifferently, reaching out to seal Ao Xu temporarily.

The "great trouble" had been removed, and the "strong enemy" had gone.

In the Divine Realm, under the Divine Tree, beside the Chunzi Spring, the figures of Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian appeared. Seeing the faint confrontation between Chonglou and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden in the Divine Realm, they slipped behind Gu Qing.

"The Demon Lord can leave now."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said, seeing him off.

"There is one more thing to do!"

Chonglou's gaze crossed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and looked at Gu Qing, saying, "I want to take you away!"

Chonglou had been safe and sound in the Demon Realm. Because of Jing Tian's appearance, he came to the Divine Realm and saw Ao Xu's scheme, suddenly taking action. But behind this matter, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Gu Qing had been observing from the side... The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden could have pacified the Divine Race's rebellion, but Gu Qing summoned Chonglou, which made Chonglou feel that he had been used as a gun.

So Chonglou wanted to educate Gu Qing.

"Go where?"

Gu Qing asked with a smile.

Chonglou spoke indifferently, saying, "New Immortal Realm."

Chonglou had been observing Gu Qing all along. He could sense that Gu Qing was hiding his strength, but he couldn't be sure how much Gu Qing was hiding. But today, the fire ignited by Ao Xu hadn't gone out, so he simply beat Gu Qing.

"I want to pull out one of your teeth!"

Chonglou said coldly.

In the Demon Realm, Chonglou's throne was piled with teeth. Every time he won against an opponent, Chonglou would pull out one of their teeth. Today, wanting to pull out Gu Qing's tooth meant Chonglou was sure he would win!

Gu Qing nodded, watching Chonglou strike the void with the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren. The path between the Divine Realm and the New Immortal Realm opened. As long as one stepped forward, one could reach the New Immortal Realm.

Gu Qing took the lead, and Su Yu, Satisfy Zi Xuan, Long Kui, Jing Tian, and Tang Xuejian all hurried inside. Under this Divine Tree, for a moment, there were only the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Xi Yao.

"You continue to guard the Divine Tree and be the Chunzi Spring Guardian."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden ordered, "Once I get the method of the Divine Race's continuation from Gu Qing, I will forgive your sins."

After saying this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden grabbed the Chunzi Sword beside Xiu Wu, drew it forward, and the Chunzi Sword had the same attributes as the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren. The void was immediately torn open, and the New Immortal Realm appeared before the Mysterious Maiden.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Chonglou's fist force was ruthless. Every punch and kick was the most simple and direct means of slaughter. In the application of strength, it was the condensation of essence, energy, and spirit, making the opponent feel his boundless killing intent, endless might, and unshakable will. In these moves, it made people tremble.

Gu Qing operated his fists, and black and white Taiji diagrams appeared faintly in his hands, continuously blocking Chonglou's fists. This was like the void, yin and yang changing. No matter how boundless Chonglou's power was, at this moment, it all entered a quagmire. Seven or eight out of ten of this power was all dissolved into the void.

In terms of combat technique, the complexity of the situations Gu Qing had faced along the way was beyond Chonglou's imagination. In combat skills, Gu Qing had gathered the accumulation of multiple worlds and was still above Chonglou.

"Crackle!"

In the void, lightning crisscrossed.

Gu Qing saw clearly that these streaks of lightning all manifested from Chonglou's body, and this crisscrossing lightning instantly broke the "virtual momentum" condensed by Gu Qing's fists, making the space between Gu Qing and Chonglou appear direct.

"Star-Shifting!"

Gu Qing reached out and collided with Chonglou's fist. After this while, Gu Qing had already grasped Chonglou's basic fist path. As the two sides' fists and feet shook, Chonglou felt the power pouring back, forcing him to retreat.

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake, transform into Divine Lightning, brilliant heavenly might, lead it with the sword!"

Gu Qing held the Demon Sword, and for a time, lightning crisscrossed. Chonglou watched thousands of electric arcs gathering toward Gu Qing's sword body and immediately used the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren to hack at Gu Qing.

Lightning and the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren collided. At this moment, all things seemed to have lost their light, and no sound could be heard in the ears, only the bright white lightning colliding silently. In this extreme brightness, everyone lost sight of Gu Qing and Chonglou.

In the clouds of the New Immortal Realm, there were bursts of thunder. When the colors of all things returned to everyone's eyes, they saw that Chonglou had changed his appearance, his body slender, his head horned. He raised his hand and released a scorching beam of light. When Gu Qing raised his hand to resist, the beam of light exploded, spreading in all directions in waves.

"Chonglou was actually forced into this appearance."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden saw this scene and nodded slightly, evaluating Gu Qing's strength even higher. While she was thinking, she saw a ball of flames wrapping around a long sword, stabbing toward her!

What does Gu Qing mean by this?

While the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was pondering, she saw the long sword disperse, the flames gathering, and the Thousand-Direction Residual Light Sword stabbing directly at her!

While dealing with Chonglou, Gu Qing also divided his spirit to take the initiative to attack the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

"Absurd!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden twisted her fingers, and sword light naturally erupted from her body, breaking all of the Thousand-Direction Residual Light Sword. At the same time, this dispersed sword energy gathered, and the Qionghua Sect's Upper-Clear Cloud-Breaking Sword fell toward the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, forcing her to move the Chunzi Sword to resist. She looked toward Gu Qing's position and saw that Gu Qing had already turned into a ball of black smoke, surrounding Chonglou.

Gu Qing was indeed using his own strength to confront Chonglou and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden!

"Yanbo Yanbo Xueren!"

In this darkness, Chonglou simply judged Gu Qing's position and simultaneously tore through the void before him, striking at Gu Qing.

"Bang!"

Taiji appeared around Gu Qing. No matter from which direction Chonglou's fists and feet came, Gu Qing reached out and raised his legs, always able to defend against them. The two sides traded blows. When the void door was about to close, Gu Qing raised his hand to lock, grabbed Chonglou's fist, and let the space wind twist his fist. At the same time, he leaped up and kicked heavily on Chonglou's head!

"Gu Qing!"

Chonglou was furious after being hit. He braced his arms and escaped from the space. As his power operated, his figure at this moment became fast to the extreme.

Also at this moment, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden flew over. In the process of exchanging blows with the Xihe Sword, she felt Gu Qing's formidable strength. At this moment, she had no more scruples and struck with all her might, following closely behind.

"Seven-Star Sword Style!"

Gu Qing's Demon Sword turned, making a posture of "a stick of incense toward the sky." The power of the Seven Stars suddenly came. Between Chonglou, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and Gu Qing, layers of barriers appeared. And within these layers of barriers, Gu Qing's sword moves came through the gaps, pressing the surroundings until they were impenetrable.

Chonglou and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden each used strange moves, tore through the void before them, arrived before Gu Qing, and the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren and the Chunzi Sword stabbed at Gu Qing together! "Slay the Zhan Guishen!"

Gu Qing's gaze condensed slightly. Thick and formidable sword energy appeared on the Demon Sword. The scorching elixir energy burned the Demon Sword red. At the same time, this brilliant sword energy gathered like a heavenly pillar, shining and slashing toward the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Chonglou!

At this moment, whether it was the Chunzi Sword or the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren, facing the stimulation of this thick sword energy, they seemed to be about to manifest consciousness, and both the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Chonglou read the information conveyed by the weapons.

"Fear..."

"Absurd!"

Chonglou held the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren and looked at this brilliant sword energy, facing it head-on. The next moment, it was like a small boat caught in a storm, floating and sinking within it. Only with great courage and great perseverance could one barely survive within it.

It was also at this time that Chonglou discovered a shocking fact: Gu Qing's hard strength was actually above his!

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden held the Chunzi, transformed into sword light, and was about to strike when the sword energy of Slay the Zhan Guishen arrived brilliantly, connecting and rotating like a Taiji, making a clattering sound. Finally, Gu Qing retracted his sword light, and the two figures retreated repeatedly in a sorry state, sitting on the ground on their bottoms.

Su Yu saw this, her heart prepared. However, Satisfy Zi Xuan was seeing Gu Qing strike like this for the first time, and he had even won against the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Demon Lord Chonglou, which made her astonished. Thinking that Gu Qing could solve the Nüwa clan's affairs, the smile on her face grew even wider.

"Amazing, Brother Qing!"

Red Long Kui waved repeatedly at Gu Qing, snorted at Su Yu, and said, "It's easy to seek priceless treasures, but hard to find a lover. Brother Qing's great victory is all thanks to my full support as the Demon Sword."

Su Yu couldn't be bothered with this Red Long Kui, but whispered, "Long Kui, don't you want to come out and see your brother?"

Red Long Kui rolled her eyes fiercely.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden stared at Gu Qing and said, "You are not any of the Three Sovereigns. Why do you have such immense power?"

Gu Qing smiled and didn't answer.

Chonglou adjusted himself, looked at Gu Qing, and said in a deep voice, "I have one more move. Please appraise it."

Having roamed the Six Realms for many years and suffered such a fall, Chonglou's mood was complex. But facing such a powerful opponent as Gu Qing, Chonglou felt that if he didn't show his most powerful strength, he wouldn't be reconciled even if he lost.

The Yanbo Yanbo Xueren intertwined before him, and the void shook at this moment.

Chonglou's body at this moment walked in the void, killing toward Gu Qing!

In this state, Chonglou could be seen by the eyes, but could not be attacked.

Gu Qing raised his hand slightly, as if holding and not holding. The feeling of wielding the Pangu Axe in the Lotus Lamp World surfaced in his heart. Gu Qing, who possessed merit points, could remember every detail of the Pangu Axe through his merit points, and this flowing detail allowed Gu Qing to manifest its ability after crossing worlds.

"Clatter clatter clatter..."

Gu Qing reached forward and pulled.

It was as if a heavenly pillar had collapsed and the void had crumbled. Chonglou, who was advancing, fell from a layer of mirror surface. Amidst the storm, his body flashed repeatedly, and he finally struggled to break free.

"..."

Chonglou's gaze was complex. He looked at Gu Qing's empty hand, and from then on, he didn't say another word. He broke open the New Immortal Realm and turned back to the Demon Realm.

"More powerful than the Chunzi Sword."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden tried to learn Gu Qing's empty grip but couldn't grasp the essence. Her gaze toward Gu Qing became even more complex.

In the absence of the Three Sovereigns, it was time for Gu Qing to speak in the Six Realms.

"My Lady Mysterious Maiden."

Gu Qing said with a smile, "Now that I have obtained the four spirit beads, let us go to the Mount Shushan Sect together and put a period to the matter of the Demon-Locking Tower." By the way, discuss the issue of the Divine Race's inheritance with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden frowned, wanting to refuse.

Gu Qing had such strength; he could just forcibly seize Mount Shushan. Having her act as a referee was truly superfluous.

"This was won fair and square."

Gu Qing laughed.

In terms of Mount Shushan, what Gu Qing wanted was Satisfy Zi Xuan's perception, followed by disgusting Xu Zhangqing. As for whether it was Mount Shushan or not, it really wasn't critical.

Of course, now reviving the Qionghua Sect also had the reason of drawing a pie for Su Yu.

Demon Realm.

Chonglou appeared outside the Yanbo Spring, looked at the churning Yanbo Spring, put down the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren in his hand, operated his magic power, and began to forge the Yanbo Yanbo Xueren. Facing Gu Qing, this Yanbo Yanbo Xueren had actually developed a fear of fighting, which Chonglou could not tolerate.

Losing to Gu Qing once was actually a good thing for someone like the Demon Lord Chonglou, who had roamed the Six Realms undefeated. Every move of Gu Qing pointed out the direction for Chonglou to move forward.

"Demon Lord!"

Xuan Xiao's figure flew here.

Chonglou turned his head and looked at Xuan Xiao, who had red hair and surging demonic energy... In the Sword and Fairy world, hair turning red was basically a certification of strength. And now Xuan Xiao held another sword and said coldly, "I have transformed into a demon. Please, Demon Lord, release me so I can go to the mortal realm and end the cause and effect!"

Back then, Su Yu's departure and everything about the Qionghua Sect—the current Xuan Xiao pinned all the blame on Gu Qing.

And the Xuan Xiao who had truly become a demon also mastered that terrifying power of the Demon Race and wanted to have a real collision with Gu Qing.

"Don't go."

Chonglou turned his head and continued to forge the weapon in his hand.

"Why?"

Xuan Xiao was greatly puzzled and said, "I have become a demon, and I should end the cause and effect with these humans."

After finishing off Gu Qing, Xuan Xiao was also prepared to accumulate strength, kill his way to the Divine Realm, and make up for the grievances he had suffered before the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden back then.

Chonglou listened to Xuan Xiao's arrangements, was silent for a moment, and said, "You can kill your way to the Divine Realm first, make up for the grievances, and then go find Gu Qing to settle accounts."

Xuan Xiao truly didn't understand.

Chonglou was not someone who liked to explain or talk too much, but after losing to Gu Qing, looking at Xuan Xiao's ant-like strength, he felt it was a pity if he died, so he said again, "I'm afraid if you go directly to find Gu Qing, you will suffer grievances again..."
