Chapter 68: Fierce Battle with Kulu Laomo

"Teleportation?"

Kulu Laomo could not help but be slightly stunned, revealing a look of disbelief. Firstly, he had not expected that a mere Golden Core Chugi cultivator could actually master such a profound spatial divine ability.

Secondly, Su Zhangqing had just brought out a shield, and he had thought this kid wanted to take the hit head-on. Who would have known he was being played? Facing a Golden Core late-stage cultivator, fighting head-on meant death, so Su Zhangqing chose to fight with wit and strength.

Using the Fanu Escape Technique to escape the range of the opponent's attack, amidst flickering light, Su Zhangqing appeared a hundred zhang away to the right of Kulu Laomo.

Swish! Su Zhangqing transformed into streaks of afterimages, his speed reaching the extreme, and the flood dragon formed by the Qingfeng Sword immediately attacked him viciously.

Kulu Laomo then lightly raised his right hand, and a Purple Gold Bowl was seen flying out from his mouth. A sky full of golden light surged into this Purple Gold Bowl, and then the two treasures, infused with sufficient heaven and earth spiritual power, collided as streaks of light.

"Boom—"

Like lightning tearing through the firmament, like the earth collapsing.

Su Zhangqing was incredibly shocked in his heart; the rumors were indeed not exaggerated, this old demon was truly formidable.

Just looking at the power of this Dharma Treasure, after drawing upon heaven and earth spiritual power, its might had likely increased more than tenfold. When the Qingfeng Sword and the Purple Gold Bowl collided, the mere aftermath leveled the mountain peaks to the ground.

It is said that high-level cultivators have the abilities of earthly immortals, possessing the great divine abilities to move mountains and drain seas; in truth, that was merely an exaggeration. However, before his eyes, when the Dharma Treasure was infused with heaven and earth spiritual power and its might surged, all of this became reality. Nearby mountain peaks collapsed one after another, and every sweep of sword Qi, or the aftermath of the Purple Gold Bowl's attack, caused the earth to split into fissures, and then the entire ground sank down...

Yin winds howled, the heavens and earth were dim, and within a hundred-mile radius, the heaven and earth spiritual power appeared extremely chaotic.

Kulu Laomo revealed an annoyed expression.

Was this kid really this difficult to deal with? At this moment, Su Zhangqing was not idle either, immediately injecting his own Yuan power into the Qingfeng Sword. The ferocious flood dragon transformed by the Qingfeng Sword had already lunged before his opponent.

A streak of golden light was seen flying from Kulu Laomo's hand, circling slightly before transforming into a blood-red Dharma Wheel. Blood light permeated the air, heading straight to meet the Qingfeng Sword.

"Clack..."

A series of clacking sounds rang out, and the Qingfeng Sword was directly blasted back. The power of this sword was extraordinary, yet this time the enemy was a Golden Core late-stage cultivator, so it was inevitably a bit strenuous.

"Oh?"

A look of surprise flashed across Kulu Laomo's face.

This Blood Sea Dharma Wheel had extraordinary power; even if a Golden Core late-stage cultivator's Dharma Treasure collided with it, it would lose much of its spirituality. This Flying Sword had actually only been shaken back and had not suffered much damage.

Seeing such a scene, Su Zhangqing did not reveal the slightest abnormality.

He knew his own strength best; an old monster at the Golden Core late-stage was not so easy to deal with.

The only choice now was to seize the moment, use thunderous means to catch the opponent off guard, and then seize the opportunity to leave this place.

Thinking of this, Su Zhangqing executed the Fanu Escape Technique to meet the opponent, then raised his hand. With a hissing sound, dozens of sword Qi slashed fiercely toward the opponent.

"Seeking death!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Kulu Laomo's face, and without the slightest evasion, he raised his hand.

Hum! The void shook like water ripples, and countless yellow fine threads appeared out of thin air. These were all transformed from heaven and earth spiritual power, tangled together like the hair of a demon, entangling Su Zhangqing's sword Qi.

Then Kulu Laomo took a step forward, executing the Shrinking Ground Technique; the distance between the two was no more than three zhang.

Not good!

Su Zhangqing was too late to dodge, a look of panic appearing in his eyes.

"Kid, you can die now!"

Kulu Laomo revealed a ferocious smile, his right hand slightly raised, and he smashed it fiercely toward Su Zhangqing's chest.

If this punch landed, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured on the spot.

Kulu Laomo revealed a smug expression; this kid had decent strength, but he had slightly overestimated him before.

Now it seemed he was nothing more than this. However, at this moment, the look of panic in Su Zhangqing's eyes vanished without a trace.

If it were any other cultivator, at such close range, even a great cultivator at the Golden Core late-stage might not necessarily survive.

But Su Zhangqing was different; he practiced the Covering Heaven Scripture, cultivating both internally and externally, and did not fear close-quarters combat.

Boom! Su Zhangqing sighed lightly, and the sound of bones cracking and popping reached his ears.

Accompanied by a loud roaring sound.

Su Zhangqing's right arm swelled strangely by a circle and began to flicker with flowing light.

For a moment, powerful energy swirled around his right hand.

Oh? A look of surprise appeared on Kulu Laomo's face; could this kid also be a body cultivator? But the surprise was only for an instant; thinking he could contend with him just because of this was too naive.

Even if he were a body cultivator, so what? Even a Golden Core late-stage demonic beast could not withstand his attack.

Boom! A loud noise reached his ears, and the flowing light continuously merged together. When the palm and fist met, Su Zhangqing only felt an irresistible giant force surging out, and he felt as if his body was about to be shattered by the powerful external force.

Su Zhangqing's entire body shimmered with spiritual light, and pure Yuan power flowed from his dantian and sea of Qi, permeating his entire body's meridians, only then finally resisting this giant force.

So powerful! He was truly worthy of being a Golden Core late-stage old monster; he had almost failed to take that.

Su Zhangqing revealed a look of shock; a Golden Core late-stage cultivator was indeed formidable. If he were not careful, he might really fall today.

How is this possible? This kid actually took my attack? Kulu Laomo was full of shock.

Su Zhangqing took the opponent's attack and immediately executed the Fanu Escape Technique, drifting backward.

"I am the Thunder Emperor; all thunder in the world is at my disposal!"

The next moment, Su Zhangqing's expression was cold. His hands waved, and streaks of thunder appeared in the void.

Boom! All the thunder transformed into a hundred-zhang-giant thunder dragon, shooting toward Kulu Laomo.

Kulu Laomo took a deep breath, reached out, and patted the back of his head, and a golden flame sprayed out from his mouth.

Although he had not practiced any special flame secret techniques, as a Golden Core-stage cultivator, the power of his Life Divine Fire was not to be underestimated.

After his Life Divine Fire left his mouth, it flickered and also transformed into a blood-red flood dragon, colliding with the thunder dragon in the void.

As soon as the two made contact, the Buddha flames and demonic fires immediately intertwined, desperately trying to devour the other.

The entire sky momentarily displayed a strange color where deep blue and blood red intertwined.

However, very quickly, the thunder flood dragon gained the upper hand, forcing back the old demon's Life Divine Flame.

How is this possible?! Kulu Laomo's expression changed wildly, but Su Zhangqing would not give him time to think carefully. Although he had some heaven-defying divine abilities and treasures, his cultivation realm and divine abilities were too far behind the Golden Core-stage old monster.

If they fought, the final result would undoubtedly be defeat, so he had to take advantage of the fact that the opponent had not yet exerted his full strength to seize the initiative, and only then could he find a way to escape.

Seeing that the divine fire was no match for his opponent, Kulu Laomo frowned deeply, then waved his hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately merged into the golden flames.

Although the thunder dragon was also supported by Su Zhangqing's own spiritual energy, it naturally could not compare to the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

For a moment, the two fires were deadlocked.

"Go!"

The next instant, Kulu Laomo flicked his right hand, intending to have the Purple Gold Bowl strike at Su Zhangqing.

Su Zhangqing would not sit idly by; how could he let his opponent deploy his treasure so easily? He lightly raised his right hand, and a green-edged sword appeared in his hand.
