Chapter 525
East Sea. Li Li Qinghong rode the water veins, returning all the way from Zhu Lu Hai. She only broke out of the water when she reached the near sea, and after flying for a few more days, the sky gradually became lively.
Li Li Qinghong had only traveled a few miles riding the thunder when she felt magic power vibrating in all directions, and the spiritual energy was very unstable. Looking up, there was magic light flowing everywhere, which was very lively.
"To think it has been fought into such a state..."
Li Li Qinghong could only restrain her light, lower her speed, fly slightly higher, and fly all the way to the west. On the way, she truly saw many fights.
There were immortal cultivators fighting, with brilliant colors, and Buddhist and demonic cultivators struggling, leaving a mess, and even familiar sect figures.
She flew over an island, the seawater beneath her feet was bright red, and she happened to run into a man in black riding the wind, holding a head in his hand.
Li Li Qinghong only felt it was troublesome and hurriedly turned her escape light, tilting her direction. Unexpectedly, the man in black frowned at her and actually approached riding the magic wind.
"Hmm?"
Li Li Qinghong's alarm bells rang in her heart. She also took a slight look at this man. His attire seemed to be from the Dakuikuan Temple, a mix of black and gray, inscribed with many runes.
The two sized each other up. The man seemed to have confirmed many things and flew straight over. Li Li Qinghong really could not avoid him, so she could only bow and say:
"I do not know what the senior is here for?"
The man had just killed someone and was still holding a head, but his expression was very polite and gentle. He said softly:
"Are you Li Qinghong?"
"Senior is..."
Li Li Qinghong could be certain she had never seen this person before, and her heart was filled with great doubt. The man only said, "I am Lin Lin Chensheng. I have seen the young lady's portrait. I have some friendship with your second uncle."
The reputation of the Dakuikuan Temple was not too bad. Li Li Qinghong was half-believing, and then she saw this person say, "Do not go forward. Take a slight detour. Ahead is my Dakuikuan Temple attacking the Chijiao Island market. If you enter by mistake, be careful of getting hurt..."
After saying this, he put away the head in his hand, not caring whether Li Li Qinghong believed him or not, bid farewell, and turned to leave riding the wind.
She thought for a moment. She seemed to have heard this name from her second uncle, Li Li Xuanfeng. She just changed her direction, restrained her aura, and flew. After a while, she felt that the number of demonic cultivators she encountered was increasing.
The East Sea was the territory of the Dragon-kin, not the South Sea known for the prevalence of demonic cultivators. Several major forces were also Early Zifu and Golden Core paths, which were now considered immortal cultivators. Usually, one would not see so many demonic cultivators.
But looking at the scene before her, it was truly demonic clouds rolling. Li Li Qinghong flew for a few breaths and suddenly saw thunder rolling ahead. Several streaks of thunder light were connecting with each other in the clouds, emitting violent roars.
'To think it has become this chaotic! Avoiding one place, only to run into another!'
"Miao Quan! You... you have such great courage..."
Hearing a cold and graceful female voice, Li Li Qinghong was preparing to avoid it, but was stopped by this voice, a sense of familiarity rising in her heart. She secretly thought, "It seems to be an acquaintance..."
She took a slight look and saw a female cultivator standing in the clouds, with dark eyebrows and handsome eyes. Her heart was suddenly enlightened:
"So it is her..."
Sure enough, hearing a muffled sound in the clouds, the thunder dissipated, and a male voice came:
"Fellow Daoist Shen Yanqing... I do not want your life either, I only seek that 【Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone】... I just want to find a way to exchange for this item from your hands. The fairy can just name her price..."
This person was Shen Shen Yanqing, whom Li Li Qinghong had met when she went to the Ziyan Sect back then. She also cultivated the thunder method. This female cultivator had a prominent background, not only born into a Early Zifu immortal clan but also a direct disciple of the Ziyan Sect. At that time, she was very polite to Li Li Qinghong.
Now, the expression on her face was naturally different from the polite and gentle one she had when facing Li Li Qinghong back then. It was very cold, and she only replied:
"【Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone】? What Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone... I have only heard of this item, it is quite precious. Where would I have such a treasure in my hands?"
The man slowly revealed his figure. He was a sturdy man with his upper body bare, his demeanor wild and uninhibited, holding an axe in his hand. His tone was still polite, and he only said, "Fairy Shen is joking. With your family background and master's teachings, that 【Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone】 must be in your hands."
'【Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone】...'
Thunder roared. Li Li Qinghong sighed lightly in her heart. Since she had passed through here, this matter was mostly unavoidable. She did not know if the people in the air had noticed her, so she could only remain silent.
Shen Shen Yanqing, however, gradually cooled down and only said:
"Fellow Daoist Miao, please make way."
Miao Quan, who was in front, stared carefully, and thoughts secretly arose in his heart: "The Early Zifu True Person of the Ziyan Sect is preparing to break through, so there is absolutely no time to watch. The Xiuyue Sect has sealed the mountains, and True Person Yuming is unable to protect himself... this is truly a great opportunity..."
"I will not kill her... I will only force her to hand over that spiritual object. As long as the item is in my hands, even if True Person Yuming has any objections... my own elders can block him... If I miss this opportunity, there will be no more opportunities for the 【Profound Thunder Heavenly Stone】!"
He was silent for a moment, raised the long axe in his hand, and said softly, "I heard that there are several thunder cultivators in the sea... all of them are lineages that drive thunder and control electricity, but I have never had the opportunity to compete with them."
"It is rare to run into a fellow Daoist here. Why don't we spar? We might make some progress."
These words immediately made Shen Shen Yanqing's expression change slightly, and she even sneered, "You, a famous cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, approaching the Early Zifu realm... want to spar with me, a junior at the early stage of Foundation Establishment?"
Miao Quan did not talk much with her. He silently raised his thunder axe and gathered white thunder light. Shen Shen Yanqing also drove thunder to strike.
"Boom!!"
Miao Quan smashed Shen Shen Yanqing's thunder method to pieces with one axe. He felt quite a bit of force coming from his hand and nodded secretly, "This Shen family member has some substance; she is not like an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator."
He was gathering white electric light when a silver spear broke through the air from the clouds, carrying intense purple light, coming horizontally and forcefully blocking in front of him.
The clouds paused slightly, and it was a female cultivator wearing jade armor, her apricot eyes looking over with a calm flavor. She said softly, "Fellow Daoist wants to compete with the thunder cultivators in the sea... it is a coincidence today, let us spar together."
Miao Quan's expression turned gloomy in an instant. Do not look at how polite he was to Shen Shen Yanqing's direct line; that was the Shen family's direct line. He did not know who this person was, so he only said coldly, "Fellow Daoist is meddling in other people's business... are you not afraid of death and the destruction of your clan!"
His voice was cold. Behind Li Li Qinghong, Shen Shen Yanqing was very pleasantly surprised. She paused slightly and just called out, "Sister!"
Li Li Qinghong had been watching for a long time. This action was not out of a fit of temper. She had also experienced many things, and her heart had long been secretly suspicious:
"It is truly thunder cultivators fighting, and I happened to run into it? It is quite strange... I have known Shen Shen Yanqing for a while, and she has two Early Zifu behind her... With these people fighting, there might already be traces of Early Zifu taking action by now."
Not to mention whether it involved Early Zifu, Li Li Qinghong understood that her invisibility technique was not a high-end technique at all. She suspected that Shen Shen Yanqing, who was closest to her, had long discovered her tracks, and it was even possible that she had intentionally come over while persuading and retreating...
"Not to mention whether it is worth taking action... if I retreat like this, I am afraid I will offend the Ziyan Sect and the Shen family, and there is no other way to go."
While the two were talking, Li Li Qinghong had already made her own judgment. She held her long spear upside down, silently lit up purple light, rode the thunder, and approached at extreme speed, blocking this person in an instant.
Shen Shen Yanqing behind her was also smart, just calling her sister. This call scared Miao Quan, and he stared blankly.
After all, Li Li Qinghong was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If this cultivation level belonged to a direct line of an immortal clan, then the strength level would be on par with Miao Quan, and she was definitely not someone who could be easily taken down, not to mention there was also a Shen Shen Yanqing on the side.
Miao Quan's expression was uncertain for a breath. He sized Li Li Qinghong up and down and suddenly sneered, "Do you think I am so easy to fool? Your armor is not even at the Foundation Establishment level. Can she be your Shen family member?"
Li Li Qinghong was not surprised. She just pointed her long spear diagonally, her eyes full of burning fighting spirit, and said softly, "Please..."
Miao Quan had a gloomy face, and the axe in his hand was raised high, glowing with white thunder light: "You don't know what's good for you!"
He pulled himself forward, and the gathered thunder light instantly condensed in front of him, rippling along his axe blade. He was likely not cultivating the Xiao Thunder; the white was extremely dazzling and very solid.
Li Li Qinghong flicked her spear. Her spear technique was gradually becoming superb, derived from the Xiao family's 【Folding Feather Spear】 and the Fei family's 【Roaming Dragon Returning Shadow】, exploding into a patch of light purple sparrow shadows in the air, swarming over.
The two types of thunder intersected, and continuous loud explosions sounded in the air, rolling up surging waves and dissipating the clouds. Miao Quan pulled his axe back, leaving only a thin layer of white light on the axe blade.
"Only slightly better?"
He was secretly surprised in his heart, but his expression remained calm. His wrist shook, and he drew thunder to fall with the original momentum. The white light was vast, and dense white electric light spread out, attacking both of them at the same time.
Li Li Qinghong pulled her spear and elegantly flicked a spear flower, rippling a patch of purple light to block this axe. Shen Shen Yanqing's face was slightly pale, but she saw Miao Quan in front of her suddenly rise, the white electricity in his hand more than several times stronger, with great momentum.
This white electricity was dense, like countless earthworms attached to his spiritual axe, crawling up along his arm. It did not look like something to be trifled with. It was originally a bluff, but now it was a real fight.
But Shen Shen Yanqing was, after all, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Li Li Qinghong had to hold her spear forward to block this axe.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder rose from the flat ground. White light descended from the sky, falling into the sea, rippling a patch of steam and turning up dense dead fish with white bellies exposed.
Li Li Qinghong staggered twice in the water vapor, the corners of her mouth slightly bleeding, and the long spear hummed excitedly in the thunder.
"Do you know the gap between us? Get out of here quickly!"
Miao Quan did not know her background and just wanted her to retreat quickly. The thunder in his hand continued to strike, and a smile appeared on his face, but he soon stopped with suspicion:
"Why is her... aura even stronger..."
But he saw Li Li Qinghong in front of him dancing her long spear more and more majestically, purple thunder and spear shadows constantly emerging, smashing onto his axe blade like a gale, continuously.
Miao Quan only felt that she did not know what was good for her. Two streaks of white light lit up on his elbows, and the rolling white thunder covered his wrists and forearms, connecting with the thunder on the magic tool, releasing bursts of white light.
He fought two with one, and the spiritual axe in his hand swung faster and faster, with white thunder roaring. Li Li Qinghong could still fight and retreat, resolving his aftermath, but Shen Shen Yanqing could not take it anymore.
Miao Quan became even more ruthless. He pinched the void with his hand, grasped a bundle of boiling white thunder, and pinched a magic seal with the other hand to cast a spell, changing from holding to releasing, his palm facing the two, jumping out a touch of white electricity.
The purple thunder-patterned profound bottle at Li Li Qinghong's waist jumped up at almost the same time, gushing out purple-white thunder of different colors, colliding with it with a bang.
The rank of Miao Quan's spell was obviously very high, and it was on par with the thunder that Li Li Qinghong had been refining with various heaven and earth spiritual thunders for so long. Miao Quan was first surprised, then turned into a sneer.
The magic seal in his hand was pinched faster and faster, and the white thunder light became more and more fierce. Shen Shen Yanqing on the side hurriedly took out a small mirror from her bosom, releasing a glowing yellow light, and gently shone it at the white thunder light.
"Boom!"
This spell stalled. Miao Quan's expression changed, and the magic seal in his hand changed repeatedly, but he could no longer maintain it, and could only let it disappear into the full sky of white light.
His angry look had just appeared when he saw Li Li Qinghong suddenly raise her head, two streaks of purple intent appearing in her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse, but still the lively and light appearance:
"Senior... also take this strike from me."
Li Li Qinghong pursed her lips and spat out a touch of white light. This white light jumped gently and lightly, turning into the size of a fist in an instant, and streaks of purple thunder patterns appeared in the air.
This white light flashed in the air and flew over at extreme speed. A look of horror suddenly appeared on Miao Quan's face, his heart skipping a beat, and he secretly exclaimed:
"【Thunder-Controlling and Cloud-Anchoring Method】?"
"Boom!"
He only had time to sacrifice a copper shield. In an instant, the reefs on the island several miles away collapsed with a bang. The white seawater first sank, then surged up rapidly, with purple-white thunder mixed in, falling densely.
It was exactly the Profound Thunder in Li Li Qinghong's thunder pool!
The ten-plus years Li Li Qinghong spent cultivating overseas were not in vain. She was different from before. Back then, she was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and with this Profound Thunder, she could already make Zhang Yun of the Jin Yu Sect exclaim.
Now that she was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, her cultivation, knowledge, magic power, and spiritual sense were no longer what they were back then. This Profound Thunder truly shook the sky light down.
It was not until the white halo dissipated that Miao Quan appeared with an ugly face. He looked fine, with only the corner of his clothing scorched black, and his face had a look of annoyance and shame.
His body was already covered with white thunder, ferocious and dazzling, as if he were wearing a suit of armor. Miao Quan stepped forward, his hands already full of white thunder, and reached straight for the long spear in Li Li Qinghong's hand.
How could Li Li Qinghong let him have his way? The spear flicked, pointed, and slashed, and another burst of thunder exploded, pushing him away by a few inches.
Miao Quan grabbed at empty air and felt as if he had hit an iron plate. Looking closely, the silver spear in Li Li Qinghong's hand was very familiar. He was stunned, focused his attention to identify it for a breath, and blurted out: "【Du Ruo】?"
As soon as his voice fell, Li Li Qinghong was also slightly stunned, and Shen Shen Yanqing behind her was also stunned, both looking at the spear in her hand.
