Chapter 178: Slash! Slash! Slash! (6k)

Li Hanshan didn't talk much nonsense at this moment. The long spear in his hand pointed directly at Zhou Qing, his spiritual power surged, and his momentum kept climbing.

This array was something he had spent a huge price to get. Once activated, it would be as if he were in another space, and no one would notice even the most intense fighting.

And the biggest advantage is that in this space, others cannot set up other arrays.

This prevented the situation of the three strange arrays that Zhou Qing used when he was in Qingmu City from happening again. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes and be countered by Zhou Qing's arrays.

"You step back first, and hold the golden talisman given to you by the Sect Master Shibo in your palm. If necessary, you must aim it and cast it!" Zhou Qing transmitted his voice.

Lu Yaoyao nodded quietly.

Although she also wanted to help Zhou Qing, she understood that now was not the time to be brave. With her current cultivation, if she rushed up rashly, not only would she not be able to help, but she would become a burden.

"Be careful of that broken sword, don't get touched!" Old Ghost Xuegu reminded.

Li Hanshan had already seen it. When he was in Qingmu City, Yu Ziqi's double waist was almost cut off.

"Quick battle, quick decision!" As Li Hanshan's words fell, the large halberd in his hand crossed, and a majestic battlefield realm of understanding instantly permeated.

Behind him, it seemed as if the scene of thousands of troops galloping appeared, making his fighting spirit burst, and then he swooped down suddenly.

Old Ghost Xuegu let out an eerie wild laugh, his hands danced, and the blood-colored mist around his body instantly turned into blood-red spears, shooting toward Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't show weakness. The spiritual power in his body surged, and thunder as thick as a water vat fell with a bang, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, pouring down toward the two.

In an instant, the three were fighting together. For a time, the roaring was constant, and the sound of metal collision between weapons was endless.

The violent spiritual power fluctuations spread toward the surroundings, causing countless flowers, plants, and trees around to be crushed directly, a mess.

Lu Yaoyao retreated hurriedly. It was really that Li Hanshan's realm of understanding made her hair stand on end, as if facing endless death, making her unable to breathe.

At this moment, while recording, she moved her lotus steps lightly.

Her plain hands danced, and the cold air in her body surged out continuously, then turned into pieces of crystal-clear ice prisms, attacking Li Hanshan and Old Ghost Xuegu like a storm.

Although her current cultivation was not enough to seriously injure them, it could play a role in interference, creating more attack opportunities for Zhou Qing.

Facing Lu Yaoyao's attack, the two didn't take it seriously at all, and a layer of spiritual power shield appeared on their bodies to block it.

But soon their faces changed, because the offensive of these ice prisms was so sharp. After only blocking a few waves, the shield began to show cracks.

Even the bone-chilling cold seeped in and spread rapidly.

"Go solve it!" Seeing this, Li Hanshan frowned and immediately ordered Old Ghost Xuegu.

Old Ghost Xuegu nodded and left immediately. Zhou Qing wanted to help, but was blocked directly by Li Hanshan.

"Consider yourself first!" Li Hanshan held the large halberd high above his head and slashed fiercely at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing dodged immediately, and a huge Jin Wu burning with golden flames rushed over immediately.

"Zhou Shixiong, don't worry about me, my Nascent Soul amplification is speed, he really might not be able to catch up with me!"

Seeing Zhou Qing's anxious face wanting to help her, Lu Yaoyao transmitted her voice hurriedly, then turned into an ice-blue stream of light and galloped toward the distance.

Wherever she passed, the ground was instantly covered by a layer of frost.

Old Ghost Xuegu snorted coldly, the blood mist around his body surged, turned into blood-red light shadows, and chased after her directly.

And Lu Yaoyao kept creating a piece of ice mist to block the line of sight, or condensed an ice wall to block his path.

This made Old Ghost Xuegu scream in anger.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing also felt relieved. As his hands formed seals, the sound of a Suanni resounded through the sky.

Huge thunderballs, as if containing the destructive power of stars, carried rolling thunder and kept rushing toward Li Hanshan.

Seeing this, Li Hanshan retreated instantly. The large halberd in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, bringing up a piece of black light.

After dodging the Jin Wu's flame impact, he suddenly stabbed the large halberd into the ground, and an earthy yellow spiritual power barrier rose from the ground.

*Boom boom boom! *

The thunderballs smashed onto the barrier, making a earth-shattering loud noise. After only persisting for a moment, cracks like spider webs appeared on the surface of the barrier.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing kept increasing his cultivation technique, and the phantoms of the Jin Wu and Suanni went up together.

Li Hanshan gritted his teeth, the spiritual power in his body was injected into the barrier crazily, and his hands held the large halberd tightly.

The runes on the large halberd flickered, echoing with the barrier, barely resisting.

After a round of bombing, Zhou Qing immediately replenished the essence blood and spiritual power prepared in the four-colored flower, and returned to his peak state again.

"Last time in Qingmu City, I should have killed you. I have to admit that the divination of the Tianji Sect is actually quite accurate. Your tribulation is me, and this time, you are lucky enough to witness my true trump card!"

Looking at Li Hanshan, who withdrew the barrier and was panting heavily, Zhou Qing's body was suddenly shrouded in a layer of golden light.

In the light, his figure began to change, instantly turning into a huge Golden-Winged Peng.

On the Peng body, the golden feathers seemed to be cast from metal, shining with brilliant light, and the eyes seemed to be two golden suns, staring tightly at Li Hanshan.

Whether it was Li Hanshan below, or Old Ghost Xuegu and Lu Yaoyao who were constantly chasing, seeing such a huge Jin Peng, they were all stunned.

And what terrified Li Hanshan was that, facing this sudden scene, a trace of terror flashed in his eyes, and he even wanted to drop his weapon, not even wanting to resist.

Soon, he came back to his senses and only felt a lingering fear. As the large halberd danced again, the battlefield realm of understanding emerged directly around his body to resist.

"Did you get the opportunity from that abyss?" Li Hanshan said.

Zhou Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, looked up to the sky and let out a loud cry, the sound seemed to penetrate the clouds, shaking the entire array space violently.

Spreading his wings, countless golden feathers shot out like flying knives, carrying a sense of tearing, and exploded out.

Li Hanshan dodged rapidly.

And Zhou Qing's speed at this moment was fast to the extreme, drawing a golden stream of light in the air. As his figure flashed, the huge claws carrying the power of ten thousand jun directly grabbed at Li Hanshan's head.

The claw tips cut through the air, making a harsh whistling sound.

Li Hanshan's face changed greatly. It was too late to dodge, so he had to cross the large halberd and resist with all his might.

The next moment, he felt a force that could not be resisted pressing over, directly making him grunt, and his throat felt sweet.

His feet sank deep into the ground, his body slid backward involuntarily, and the ground was plowed out a deep gully.

*Swish swish swish! *

Several tail feathers swept across, turning into golden light arcs, flashing past, and exploding toward Old Ghost Xuegu who was stunned in the distance.

Old Ghost Xuegu, who reacted, was shocked. In a panic, he immediately poured all his spiritual power into a blood-red sky curtain in front of him to block it.

But the golden feathers directly shattered the sky curtain with a brutal posture, making it instantly fall apart and turn into a sky full of blood mist.

The golden feathers did not reduce their momentum and nailed fiercely into Old Ghost Xuegu's body.

Suddenly, a scream came, and several blood holes suddenly appeared on Old Ghost Xuegu's body, and bright red blood gushed out.

His figure staggered, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of terror.

Lu Yaoyao also took the opportunity to move. After all, she had grown up, and she couldn't always nestle under others' wings. Now it was time to stand on her own.

At the moment Old Ghost was stunned, her figure flashed and approached quickly.

The runes on the long sword in her hand surged, the cold air overflowed, and an ice-blue sword energy carrying bone-chilling coldness pressed directly toward Old Ghost Xuegu's throat.

Old Ghost widened his eyes in shock and hurriedly raised his hand to resist, but the cold sword energy still left a deep wound on his arm, and the blood instantly solidified and turned into ice crystals.

After Lu Yaoyao succeeded in one strike, she retreated rapidly, her jade hands waved, and countless ice arrows suddenly took shape and exploded out again.

And Li Hanshan at this moment, facing the huge Jin Peng true body in front of him, gradually couldn't hold on. The spiritual power on the large halberd surged, constantly trying to find flaws, wanting to give a fatal blow.

However, as the imperial aura on Zhou Qing's body continued to permeate, as if carrying a natural sense of oppression, the thought of wanting to give up that was already restless in Li Hanshan's heart became even stronger.

That feeling was as if the opponent he was facing was not a peer, but a high and unreachable king, making him feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

Li Hanshan gritted his teeth, bean-sized sweat beads kept rolling down his forehead, but he had no choice but to keep performing the half-baked realm of understanding he had comprehended, trying to resist it.

Zhou Qing waved his wings, leaving golden afterimages in the air, and charged again, forcing Li Hanshan back again and again, in a sorry state.

"The game you chose, is it fun?" Zhou Qing's voice carried a hint of mockery.

*Pfft—*

A broken sword shot out from the ground strangely, and instantly pierced through Li Hanshan's right arm, who was struggling to resist.

Blood splattered everywhere for a moment.

The fighting spirit of the realm of understanding in Li Hanshan's eyes vanished at this moment, replaced by full terror and despair, and his heart completely gave birth to the intention to retreat.

And the Jin Peng true body transformed by Zhou Qing circled in the air, and suddenly opened its mouth to spray a golden flame.

This flame came from the Jin Wu!

Li Hanshan spat out a mouthful of blood, desperately dancing the large halberd to resist, but his hair and clothes were still ignited instantly.

After panicking to put it out, he immediately looked terrified and went toward one of the directions.

Zhou Qing waved his wings, as if a golden lightning flashed across the sky, blocking in front of Li Hanshan at the fastest speed.

Those huge wings set off a gust of wind, whistling and rolling toward the surroundings.

His eyes were like torches, staring tightly at Li Hanshan, the golden feathers on his body stood up one by one, exuding the majestic imperial power, making people look in awe.

"Forgot to tell you, I am also an array master. Did you really think I didn't see where the array eye of this array is?"

Zhou Qing's voice was like a bell, revealing a sense of confidence and dominance.

At this time, Li Hanshan was extremely embarrassed, his face was charred black, and he almost became bald.

His clothes were ragged, and blood kept seeping from his broken arm. Only those eyes were still flashing with unwilling anger.

"You, what do you mean?" Li Hanshan widened his eyes, his voice hoarse and trembling.

He never thought that the situation would reverse so quickly. He originally thought he had the victory in his hands, but now he had fallen into such a desperate situation.

Zhou Qing snorted coldly, raised his chin slightly, his expression cold and stern: "It seems you still don't know who the real hunter is?"

Looking up at Zhou Qing at this moment, a flash of determination flashed in Li Hanshan's eyes, he retreated suddenly, and the spiritual power around his body surged crazily.

I saw a flash of light in his body, and the Nascent Soul instantly broke out of his body, and then turned into a stream of light, drilling straight into the large halberd.

In an instant, the large halberd seemed to have been unsealed, the whole body bloomed with dazzling strong light, and the ancient runes on the halberd body twisted like living things, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Zhou Qing's face changed slightly. Is this the opponent's Nascent Soul amplification?

Can he turn into an artifact spirit for a short time?

I have to say, at this moment, Zhou Qing did indeed feel an extremely rich dangerous aura from this large halberd.

"You actually made me pay the price of five hundred years of lifespan, this is what you forced me to do!" An angry roar came from the large halberd, revealing endless unwillingness and resentment.

Afterward, the large halberd stabbed at Zhou Qing. The speed was so fast that the surrounding air made a sharp whistling sound.

Zhou Qing waved his wings and was about to move away, but the large halberd seemed to have escaped into the void and disappeared instantly.

Before Zhou Qing could come back to his senses, it appeared directly on Zhou Qing's chest, and then stabbed fiercely.

Only a dull loud noise was heard, as if a bell was ringing, shaking the surrounding air and buzzing.

The amazing defensive power displayed by the Jin Peng true body at this moment was fully reflected at this moment.

Li Hanshan, who turned into an artifact spirit, was instead shaken by this huge reaction force, dizzy, and looked at this scene with full astonishment and disbelief.

Five hundred years of lifespan, plus Nascent Soul amplification, a stab with all his strength, actually only left a shallow white mark on his surface, failing to pierce in at all.

How is this possible!

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Zhou Qing snorted coldly, his claws probed out, and instantly grabbed the halberd pole of the large halberd.

The golden giant claws seemed to be cast from steel, tightly clasping the large halberd. As he exerted force, the large halberd immediately made a "creak creak" sound of being unable to bear the weight.

Li Hanshan's Nascent Soul inside immediately let out a miserable scream, full of pain and despair, followed by violent struggling, wanting to escape.

But how could Zhou Qing give him a chance? The spiritual power around his body was continuously poured into the giant claws. Only a *crack* sound was heard, and the large halberd was actually snapped in half by Zhou Qing.

*Swish! *

A weak figure rushed out suddenly and went straight to the body not far away.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth suddenly, and a golden flame, under the blessing of thunder and lightning, instantly shrouded him.

Suddenly, a more miserable scream resounded through the entire world, and the Nascent Soul inside became dimmer and dimmer under the burning of the golden flames, and the figure became smaller and smaller, as if it had been drained of life force, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Since then, the five great geniuses of the Chiyan Longshi have all fallen into the hands of Zhou Qing alone.

Zhou Qing, who finally ended this intense battle, only felt a dizziness in his head. Performing big moves several times in a row was too much of a consumption for him.

The spiritual energy in the meridians in his body was almost exhausted, and his body became extremely tired, as if every movement required great effort.

Suddenly, a majestic and dignified aura erupted from not far away. Zhou Qing braced his spirit to look over and saw Old Ghost Xuegu's body flying backward like a broken kite, breaking several large trees, and rolling on the ground several times before barely stabilizing his figure.

At this moment, he was ragged, the blood mist around his body was dim, half of his body was gone, and blood gushed out, staining the ground under him bright red.

At this time, his face was full of horror and despair.

Lu Yaoyao was also covered in blood, panting heavily, looking like she had consumed quite a bit. And in her hand, she held a golden talisman paper whose color was gradually dimming.

"You shouldn't have been distracted!" Lu Yaoyao muttered to herself.

Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Qing immediately endured the fatigue of his body, instantly flew in front of Old Ghost Xuegu, and with one claw, patted Old Ghost Xuegu's flesh into meat foam.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere for a moment, splashing everywhere.

Old Ghost Xuegu's Nascent Soul escaped in a panic, but was directly wrapped by Zhou Qing's golden flames.

"Spare my life, spare my life, Zhou Qing, as long as you spare this old man's life, I am willing to be a cow or a horse for you. I still have many secrets of the Chiyan Longshi on me, ah ah ah—"

At this moment, he was truly afraid, begging for mercy in his mouth.

Zhou Qing didn't dare to want such an old fox. With the violent burning of the flames, he soon turned him into ashes amidst his curses.

"Storage bag—" Zhou Qing shouted.

Lu Yaoyao understood immediately, couldn't care about being happy, and hurriedly grabbed the storage bags of the two. As her spiritual sense successfully probed in, she hurriedly shouted: "They are all dead!"

After hearing this, the heart that Zhou Qing had been hanging finally let go.

Immediately after, the light flickered, and he restored to his original body, and then fell straight from the air.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao's face was shocked, and she flew over quickly to catch him.

"I, I'm fine," Zhou Qing waved his hand lightly, braced his weak body, and hurriedly took out supreme-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, operating the "Yin Yang Jue" to start recovering.

Lu Yaoyao felt a little relieved, guarded by the side, her eyes still revealing a hint of worry, constantly paying attention to Zhou Qing's state.

After recovering a little, Zhou Qing stumbled to a place where Li Hanshan had set up the array before, destroyed the array eye, and exposed the array disk inside as well as the supreme-grade spirit stones embedded on it.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao flew down hurriedly and took it out.

"Although the power is great, it's a pity that it's a one-time use," Zhou Qing said with some regret, looking at the array disk.

And such an array disk, perhaps there might even be a Soul Formation realm mark on it.

After taking the spirit stones, the two didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

Whether it was Li Hanshan or Old Ghost Xuegu, their soul lamps must have been extinguished at this moment. The Sect Masters of the Three Sects Alliance had left, but the people of the Chiyan Longshi and the Tianji Sect didn't know.

"Don't worry, I have the image stone of them making the first move!" On the flying sword, Lu Yaoyao held the image stone tightly in her hand and said.

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "Only what has the opportunity to be presented in front of others is evidence."

Lu Yaoyao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and immediately accelerated the speed of the flying sword again.

Two days later, they appeared in a city called Lin'an City nearby. Looking at the bustling crowd in the city, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves also relaxed.

"It is estimated that in two days, people from our sect will come to conduct a sweep. Next, just wait quietly!" Zhou Qing looked at the bustling city and said slowly.

Lu Yaoyao also showed a smile and hurriedly took Zhou Qing to choose an inn that looked quite neat and clean.

They asked for a quiet room, let Zhou Qing rest well, and she guarded the door of the room, protecting Zhou Qing.

Fortunately, the injuries this time were relatively light, mostly caused by exhaustion, just need to recover slowly.

Time passed day by day. On the fourth day, Lu Yaoyao ran in excitedly. Behind her, He Han and Sister Pei Yan also followed.

At this moment, the two looked at Zhou Qing with awe and complex expressions. They never thought that in just a few days of not seeing each other, Zhou Qing had actually beheaded Li Hanshan and Old Ghost Xuegu.

"Zhou Shidi, you, are safe!" He Han looked at Zhou Qing and said.

It was just that after he finished speaking, he felt that his words were a bit redundant, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Zhou Qing got up and thanked the two.

"Are there any elders coming?" Zhou Qing asked.

Sister Pei Yan nodded and said, "The nine cities around Mount Canglan are key investigation objects. My Shizun and an elder from the Jin Leizong have come. Besides them, there are hundreds of disciples. By the way, I also saw people from the Chiyan Longshi appear just now."

Zhou Qing nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Please ask Pei Shijie to contact Tong Shishu, I have something here that needs to be reported."

Sister Pei Yan nodded and immediately took out her identity token to contact.

After about half an hour, I saw Yuqing Peak Peak Master Tong Min coming in a hurry. Sister Pei Yan first explained the general situation simply outside. After hearing it, Tong Min was first angry, but soon turned into shock.

After entering the room, Zhou Qing took out a corpse and Lu Yaoyao's image stone.

"Please ask Tong Shishu to preside over justice!" Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.

Although the two were beheaded, and Xuegu was even left without a corpse, they made a move against them at this juncture. It was hard to say whether there was anyone behind them authorizing it.

At the very least, for the Demon King Hou Shan, it was really not giving any face, and he was not concerned about the holy medicine he lost.

As for how to arrange it specifically, I suppose the Sect Masters and the others have their own plans.

Tong Min watched Li Hanshan's corpse and that iconic large halberd with his own eyes, still feeling a bit unbelievable.

The five great geniuses of the Chiyan Longshi have all fallen into Zhou Qing's hands. Who would believe this if it were said out?

My Taiqingmen has hope of rising!

"Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation!" Tong Min looked at Zhou Qing and promised solemnly.

Zhou Qing thanked him again.

"By the way, regarding the gray-robed person who stole from Senior Hou Shan, I found a clue here." Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to have thought of something, so he told the few people the brief message given by the system.

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. If it was looking for a needle in a haystack before, now the target was at least more accurate.

Lu Yaoyao on the side was full of confusion.

When did you find it? Why don't I know?

But soon, the confusion turned into full worship.

【Heart Identification Point +9】

The 【So Outrageous】 note on her head instantly changed into 【Good Eyesight】 at this moment!
