Chapter 299: Could it be that I take after my mother? (6k)

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Lu Yaoyao was clearly stunned, her eyes widening in shock.

From the time I took over the mirror frame until you came out, it was only a cup of tea's time, and you actually severed a legendary Soul Severance realm expert?

How did you do it?

Usually, Soul Severance realm experts don't easily make a move against each other.

Because once they make a move, it's truly a life-and-death battle that shakes the heavens and earth, and some can even fight for several years.

Even if Watching Yan Sen was severely injured, he was still a Soul Severance realm expert, you...

【Heart Appraisal Points +9】

Soon, the 【Good Nose】 that had just changed on top of Lu Yaoyao's head changed back to 【So Awesome】.

As expected of the daddy who could give birth to me, even cross-realm fighting is so extraordinary.

Zhou Qing stopped talking and immersed himself fully in cultivation.

As the mental method of the "Yin Yang Art" operated, the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal immediately split into strands of dark red flowing light that drilled into his meridians.

His pupils shrank, his face full of shock.

Because this energy was dozens of times purer than supreme-grade spirit stones; as soon as it entered his body, it turned into a prairie fire, galloping along his extraordinary meridians.

Wherever it passed, impurities deposited over many years were burned away.

It was an indescribable feeling of silkiness, as if he wasn't absorbing spiritual energy, but merging with the origin power of heaven and earth.

Surging essence energy kept pouring into his dantian, spiritual sense sea, and meridians...

Zhou Qing could even hear light "cracking" sounds from within his body; that was the spiritual power barrier that had been stagnant for a long time cracking inch by inch.

Besides that, he also felt his spiritual sense sea was clear as a mirror, and the previously obscure and difficult-to-understand realm insights suddenly became clear and touchable.

It was somewhat like the ethereal feeling of absorbing the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

"As expected of an Inscription-grade divine ability comparable to the Dao Mark grade, I really don't know how the Blood Phoenix clan created it?"

Zhou Qing exclaimed in admiration and accelerated his absorption again.

Just like that, until the fifth day arrived, what Zhou Qing held in his hand was the last piece of nearly transparent Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal.

Lu Yaoyao had long since recovered and was guarding vigilantly all around.

As for the strange crystal in daddy's hand, she had also seen it when she was a child.

To be precise, every time he killed a Demon Emperor, a few such pieces would appear on him, used for healing and absorption.

So she had long since become accustomed to it.

It's just that she had never cultivated before and was only used by daddy to temper her muscles and bones.

Now looking at it again, this object was clearly extraordinary, and she didn't know where it actually came from?

Just as she was pondering, Zhou Qing, who had been sitting cross-legged cultivating, suddenly had his aura shake after absorbing the last strand of blood energy.

The spiritual power barrier that had been accumulating for many days at his dantian collapsed, and a more surging aura spread out.

"Broken through?" Lu Yaoyao could clearly feel that this pressure was several times stronger than usual.

Zhou Qing also opened his eyes, full of surprise.

Then he stood up slowly, feeling the galloping spiritual power rushing through his body, and couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth.

From today on, he, Zhou Qing, is the number one person below the Soul Severance realm!

"It's getting late, let's go!" Zhou Qing didn't have time to celebrate and hurriedly took Lu Yaoyao out.

After taking back the mirror frame, he headed straight for the platform he had marked.

"I estimate that Watching Yan Sen's Eighth Uncle should be in the late stage of the Soul Severance realm, and since the other party is a fourth-level array master, dealing with him is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Zhou Qing looked at the distant platform, showing a worried expression.

Moreover, he didn't know where the other party had gone now?

It would be best if he went deeper; even Old Peng Wang and Shen Hanyi didn't dare to get too involved there.

A Demon Emperor-level existence would leave him there forever in minutes!

"You stay here and don't move, I'll go take a look!" After Zhou Qing instructed Lu Yaoyao, he carefully approached.

Until he re-entered the ruins and found that the four-color magic array was still flowing, it seemed there was no sign or aura of Yan Weiyi.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's face showed joy, and he hurriedly rummaged through Watching Yan Sen's storage bag and took out the token.

After quickly refining it, with a wave of his hand, this array immediately dissipated, turning into twelve array flags and an array disk filled with supreme-grade spirit stones.

Zhou Qing hurriedly collected them happily and returned to Lu Yaoyao's side.

"I reckon Watching Yan Sen's Eighth Uncle doesn't know that this place will exclude all outsiders after five days."

"So according to normal thinking, he should be constantly searching everywhere right now," Zhou Qing said firmly.

Lu Yaoyao nodded and said: "Yes, I really hope he can be as unlucky as Watching Yan Sen!"

Zhou Qing sighed lightly.

It's a pity there was only one 【Misfortune Post】.

"Then what do we do now?" Lu Yaoyao asked.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and looked around.

The outer floating platforms of this Kunpeng Palace are not just a few, and this time coming in is completely different from the landing position last time.

It can be seen that it is completely random.

Once they are excluded, with the other party's Soul Severance realm means, there is no possibility for the two to escape.

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish!

If the other party wants to come in again, he might search his soul or threaten Lu Yaoyao, forcing himself to submit and hand over the "Emperor Brilliance Scripture."

Then kill them both to silence them and monopolize this mystical realm alone.

Therefore, in a few hours, it will truly be a life-or-death situation.

"Don't worry yet, let me see!" Zhou Qing took out Watching Yan Sen's storage bag and rummaged through it.

There were quite a lot of things inside, especially supreme-grade spirit stones, totaling over a hundred, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single five-element one.

How did he end up like this?

"Three-color and four-color magic array scrolls, these inheritances left to him by Senior Xuan Qingzi are all here!"

"Various secrets of the Shen family? Too far away for me, but I can keep them as gossip to look at after tea."

"Forget about these divine ability scrolls, including this four-color magic array; they cannot be cultivated, nor can they be sold at will, otherwise, they will definitely bring disaster!"

"Why are there so many women's undergarments? This Watching Yan Sen plays quite wildly!"

Zhou Qing frowned and rummaged through them, and took out fifty supreme-grade spirit stones for Lu Yaoyao.

This made Lu Yaoyao full of shock.

"Take them, those who see have a share!" Zhou Qing waved his hand and continued to rummage.

Lu Yaoyao smiled happily and collected them directly.

She might not want what others give, but what daddy gives, she can naturally accept with peace of mind.

Just these are enough to support her breakthrough to Divine Transformation, provided she quickly comprehends her own realm of understanding.

"Eh, this is—"

Soon, after Zhou Qing had cleaned up everything one by one, a black box came into view.

This box looked ordinary, but at the first glance, Zhou Qing actually felt a sense of hair-raising horror.

For safety's sake, he didn't open it first but took it out carefully and identified it.

【Blood Soul Killing Spirit Talisman: This seemingly ordinary box contains a special talisman refined by the Fifth Ancestor of the Yan family, capable of erupting with three attacks of the Soul Severance realm Great Perfection in a short time.】

Seeing the returned information, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Qing's back instantly, and he felt a lingering fear.

If Watching Yan Sen hadn't been blinded by anger in the Interminable Karmic Fire Mirror and had directly sacrificed this item, he feared he would have already had his soul destroyed.

"What is this?" Seeing Zhou Qing's pale face, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but lean in and ask.

Zhou Qing didn't answer; after taking a deep breath, he opened it gently.

A talisman soaked in bloody light lay quietly inside, with a ferocious ghost head pattern branded on the front.

"The Fifth Ancestor of the Yan family could actually refine such a killing move and leave it for Watching Yan Sen to protect himself; it shows that the other party's strength is unfathomable, and it also shows that Watching Yan Sen's status in the Yan family is extremely high."

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Zhou Qing's eyes turned cold.

He must leave this Eighth Uncle here forever, otherwise, what awaits him, and even the Taiqing Sect, will be a devastating disaster!

"I have a plan, it's very risky, but we have no choice!" Zhou Qing picked up the Blood Soul Killing Spirit Talisman and looked at Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao said with a determined face: "No matter how big the risk, I am willing!"

Looking at the lack of the slightest timidity in Lu Yaoyao's eyes, Zhou Qing felt a warmth in his heart.

Since both of them could put life and death aside, they had already succeeded halfway.

"We probably still have to act out a play..." Zhou Qing leaned close to Lu Yaoyao and lowered his voice to tell her the plan in full.

Although Lu Yaoyao showed worry after hearing it, she still nodded heavily.

……

Not long after, as the fifth day ended completely, ripples suddenly appeared around the two.

Then an irresistible suction force appeared out of thin air, pulling their bodies.

And then, they were forcibly excluded.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life, I really entered unintentionally... Is this the outside? I'm not dead? I'm actually not dead, haha, I'm out!"

It was still the original island, and the sea breeze was blowing gently.

But at this moment, a hoarse plea for mercy came from not far away.

A seven-colored primordial spirit was seen curled up on the beach, holding its head and shivering.

Who knows what Yan Weiyi had experienced, to actually have lost even his physical body.

Soon, when he noticed the different scenery around him, his previously terrified eyes were full of the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

Scanning his gaze, he also saw Lu Yaoyao lying on the side, covered in blood, and... Watching Yan Sen, who was also in a coma.

"Cough, cough—" Yan Weiyi, who stood up quickly, coughed violently, causing his entire primordial spirit to fluctuate.

"I understand, five days, so outsiders can only stay inside for five days at most before being excluded!"

Yan Weiyi suddenly realized, then showed a vicious expression.

"This damn Zhou Qing had clearly been in once, yet he didn't mention this point at all; he clearly had other intentions, but looking at this, he doesn't seem to have come out, did he die inside?"

Yan Weiyi was full of annoyance.

If this guy really died inside, without that Jin Peng Treasure Art, how would he get in next time?

His physical body and storage bag were all lost there.

Who could have imagined that there was still a terrifying Demon Emperor alive inside.

Although it was sealed, just a few attacks almost caused him to fall in that mountain range.

"Forget it, being able to live is already a great fortune; as for the Jin Peng Art, perhaps the sect where Zhou Qing belongs has it; I think I can get it through soul searching, and then I'll ask Sen'er where he found them!"

Yan Weiyi muttered to himself, then looked at Watching Yan Sen, who was lying not far away, disheveled and covered in blood, speechless.

I've never felt that our uncle and nephew's horoscopes were so incompatible; looking at your torn clothes, did you encounter something after I left?

This unlucky thing!

Not caring about anything else, he hurried over.

His own storage bag was lost inside, but fortunately, Watching Yan Sen's was still there, and he was now in urgent need of recovery.

"Sen'er—"

Yan Weiyi hurried to "Watching Yan Sen's" side, turning him over and supporting him.

"Un... Uncle?"

"Watching Yan Sen" suddenly let out a vague moan, his face covered in blood stains, but the moment he opened his eyes, he revealed a cold gaze that didn't belong to Watching Yan Sen.

When he saw that strange face, Yan Weiyi was stunned, seemingly unable to react to what was happening.

These clothes were clearly Watching Yan Sen's, how did the face become Zhou Qing's?

Since Zhou Qing is here, where was Watching Yan Sen transmitted to?

But the next moment, he saw a strange arc on Zhou Qing's mouth, and a red light suddenly lit up in his hand.

Because the distance was too close, he could even clearly smell the nauseating bloody stench emanating from the talisman.

"No—"

In just an instant, he understood what this thing was, and felt his scalp go numb.

He immediately turned to flee, but—

It was too late after all!

Boom!

A terrifying bloody light, carrying countless scarlet runes, shot out and slammed into Yan Weiyi without warning.

Yan Weiyi only felt an unimaginable tearing sensation explode from the depths of his primordial spirit, as if thousands of sharp blades were shredding his soul simultaneously.

His whole body was hit as if by a giant hammer, flying backward uncontrollably, crashing through dozens of sea trees in succession.

The intense pain caused Yan Weiyi's consciousness to almost collapse, but his survival instinct drove him to forcibly increase the distance between them again.

When he looked down, he discovered that half of his primordial spirit had been blasted away.

The nearly translucent primordial spirit body was covered in hideous cracks, each one continuously seeping seven-colored primordial spirit fluid.

The next moment, he sprayed a mouthful of blood mixed with primordial spirit fragments, the bloody color flashing with fine seven-colored specks; that was the sign of the Soul Severance realm primordial spirit disintegrating.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Subsequently, he looked up abruptly at Zhou Qing.

"This is the Blood Soul Killing Spirit Talisman left by the Fifth Ancestor for Watching Yan Sen to save his life, how could it be on you?"

Yan Weiyi's roar made the surrounding air hum, and torrential regret and unwillingness surged in his heart.

But the intense pain also made him wake up instantly; just as he was about to increase the distance again, cold air suddenly overflowed all around.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen into an ice wall made entirely of ice crystals at some point.

Beside him, Lu Yaoyao, who should have also been in a coma, had already stood up at some point, her hands forming seals, and a huge ice lotus slowly rotating behind her.

"This is a trap, this is a trap deliberately aimed at me!" Yan Weiyi immediately understood everything.

And because of Lu Yaoyao's containment, Zhou Qing also transformed into the second form of the Golden-Winged Great Peng at this time.

Like a golden lightning bolt, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air, he instantly approached the frozen Yan Weiyi.

"You—"

Yan Weiyi roared, understanding what would happen to him next, full of horror and despair, using his last bit of spiritual power to shatter the ice wall.

And in the cold light of the splashing ice, Zhou Qing's figure flashed again.

"It's time for you to go on your way!" Zhou Qing's voice was cold and bone-chilling, and the Blood Soul Killing Spirit Talisman in his palm lit up again.

Boom!

This second strike was like the heavens collapsing and the earth cracking; wherever the bloody light beam passed, space collapsed inch by inch, forming countless black void cracks.

Yan Weiyi's scream was completely swallowed within; his primordial spirit trembled violently in the strong light, and the remaining half of the seven-colored primordial spirit dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the dazzling light dissipated, there was nothing left before his eyes; where was there even a shadow of Yan Weiyi?

Lu Yaoyao also ran over excitedly, her face full of excitement.

"Dead, Senior Brother Zhou, is he dead?" Lu Yaoyao asked eagerly.

Zhou Qing's vast spiritual sense screened the surroundings over and over again; although he was sure there was no residual primordial spirit, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

Because it was just too smooth!

Although God was on his side this time, helping him, making Yan Weiyi encounter something that left him with only a severely injured primordial spirit.

Coupled with two attacks of the Soul Severance realm Great Perfection, Zhou Qing still felt that a powerhouse of at least the late Soul Severance realm could just die from these two attacks?

After all, the first attack, at such a close distance, only blasted away half of his primordial spirit.

From this point, one can see that even if a Soul Severance realm expert is left with only a primordial spirit, their terrifying vitality is not something they can imagine.

"No—"

The next moment, Zhou Qing finally realized what was wrong.

After a Soul Severance realm expert dies, for at least several hundred years, the area will be shrouded in a thick negative emotion.

The area will not see sunlight all year round, and people or beasts with weak wills will be swallowed by the unwilling obsessions severed by the Soul Severance realm expert, eventually becoming "grave keepers" like puppets.

But at this moment, the sky was blue and clear, the sea breeze was blowing gently, and there was no sign of the fall of the Spirit Skull Mountain Peng Emperor or the Blood Prison Mountain Spider Emperor.

All of this suggested that Watching Yan Sen's Eighth Uncle had not fallen!

"Shh—" Zhou Qing immediately made a shushing gesture and slowly closed his eyes.

After opening his eyes again, a pair of blood pupils appeared immediately.

In an instant, the scene before his eyes underwent a earth-shaking change.

The contours of the surrounding trees and rocks were flowing with dark blue spiritual energy veins.

Even the flow of the sea breeze turned into silver-white threads, weaving into a net in the void, and every tremor was magnified into a clear trajectory.

Zhou Qing began to scan the surroundings bit by bit, the blood glow in his pupils growing stronger.

On a level difficult for the naked eye to perceive, countless tiny spiritual patterns shot out from his pupils, enveloping the surroundings like a spider web.

Every spiritual pattern that touched an object would feed back a large amount of information, the subtle displacement of soil under the ground, the evaporation of dew on the back of leaves, including the heartbeat of Lu Yaoyao on the side.

Soon, thirty zhang away, under the broken trees that Yan Weiyi had broken earlier, a wisp of faint spiritual energy flow appeared to have an abnormal stagnation.

As Zhou Qing increased the input of spiritual power again, the broken tree seemed to become transparent, revealing a small fragment of a primordial spirit curled up behind it.

It seemed to have consciousness, with layers of twisted spatial runes attached to its surface, attempting to obscure detection.

"He really didn't die!" Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart and felt even more lingering fear.

The means of a Soul Severance realm expert are truly terrifying; how could he still not die after being like this?

If it weren't for his possession of the Void Spider's 【Double Pupils】, if he let the other party escape today, one can imagine what would happen to the Taiqing Sect next.

Swish!

The speed of the runes in Zhou Qing's blood pupils accelerated suddenly; his body leaned forward slightly, and then he instantly approached the broken tree.

The locked-on primordial spirit seemed to sense a crisis, suddenly erupting with intense light, attempting to escape again.

"How did you discover me?" A desperate scream came from the primordial spirit fragment.

Zhou Qing couldn't be bothered to answer; the Blood Soul Killing Spirit Talisman in his palm lit up again, directly activating the final attack.

Although it was using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, he didn't dare to keep this thing on him.

Including some of Watching Yan Sen's storage bags, he had already thrown them into the Kunpeng Mystical Realm.

After all, the Yan family has many means; what if they can detect it through perception?

This time, these two fell in this fourth-level cultivation country, and the other party will definitely send people to search for them later.

"Little friend, spare my life, whatever you want, the old man will..."

Boom!

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Yan Weiyi hurriedly begged for mercy.

But before he could finish speaking, the final strike had already roared toward the fragment with the momentum of destroying the heavens and earth.

Space twisted again, and the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles surged crazily, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.

With a heaven-shaking loud noise, Yan Weiyi's remnant soul dissipated completely this time, not even leaving a residue.

"Good stuff!" Zhou Qing looked at the talisman fragments that had turned into dust in his hand and sighed in admiration.

This thing only needs to be locked onto a target and channeled; it doesn't need any output of spiritual power at all.

The double pupils rotated again, and after confirming that Yan Weiyi was truly dead, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on the corner of his mouth.

He and Junior Sister Lu had finally survived this meticulously planned hunt!

At the same time, the sky of the previously clear island was collapsing and changing color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A repressive atmosphere rose instantly, and various murmuring self-talks began to sound all around.

Unwillingness, anger, discomfort, pain, killing intent... all kinds of negative emotions surged like a tide.

Feeling this scene, Zhou Qing showed a smile on his face.

This feeling is right!

"This place is not suitable for staying long, leave quickly!"

Zhou Qing took out the flying boat, pulled Lu Yaoyao, who was still a bit dazed, and left quickly.

This is the territory of the Demon Emperor Qingluo Beast after all.

Not to mention the previous six-color magic array, just the three attacks of the Soul Severance realm Great Perfection just now were enough for many interested people to notice.

……

On the flying boat, Zhou Qing's fingertips flickered with Golden Crow fire, burning Watching Yan Sen's various robes into dust.

After copying the jade slips and magic tools in the storage bag one by one, they were also shattered into slag by his spiritual power, and even the dozens of supreme-grade spirit stones were repeatedly scrutinized under his double pupils.

Any trace that could possibly expose his identity could not escape his inspection.

"Second Senior Sister's 'Gou Dao' (Way of Survival) is safer after all!" Zhou Qing muttered to himself in his heart.

Lu Yaoyao, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hands, squatting on the side, looking at Zhou Qing's focused profile with admiration.

The cautious appearance of the young cultivator at this moment slowly overlapped with the middle-aged man in her memory who was always wiping his broken sword late at night.

It turns out that the alertness for survival had been deeply planted in his bones at this time.

And the red double pupils in his eyes now, how exactly did he do it?

From the peculiar nose to the eyes now, why didn't I inherit any of it?

Could it be that I take after my mother?
