Chapter 86: Forceful Suppression

How could there be such a peerless beauty in this world?

A sharp glint flashed in Su Zhangqing's eyes; helping such a beautiful woman escape the Bitter Sea, when he thought about it carefully, was not a bad thing, was it?

At this moment, everyone's gaze fell upon the figure of that beautiful woman at the entrance of the great hall.

Golden Core Chugi!

Su Zhangqing's gaze swept over the young woman; although judging by the fluctuations of her demon power, she should have just advanced, she was indeed at the Golden Core Chugi realm.

"Mother, are you calling me?" Chapter 87: Battling Kuangshi "Hmph..."

Seeing his beloved son so severely injured by someone, Kuangshi Laoguai let out a cold snort, his eyes instantly turning blood-red; the next moment, a ruthless expression flashed across his face, and as he raised both hands, a ball of fiery red flame appeared within them.

"Heh, the small one was beaten, so the old one has jumped out?"

Su Zhangqing curled his lips, revealing a sneer; the next instant, black flames flickered over Su Zhangqing's hands, wrapping around them in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe..."

Upon seeing this scene, Ruyue Xianzi revealed a faint smile; it was not that she was indifferent and unconcerned, but rather that Ruyue Xianzi believed Su Zhangqing would not suffer a loss, and it was a perfect opportunity to borrow the other party's hand to vent her own anger.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the great hall became tense to the extreme, yet at this very moment, a pleasant female voice rang out.

"Stop!"

A streak of light flashed, and a beautiful figure arrived before the two; Ruyue Xianzi believed in Su Zhangqing's strength and knew he would not suffer, but as the mistress of this place, Shenguang Xianzi naturally did not wish for them to fight on her own turf—no matter who won or lost, it would look very bad for her.

"The two of you have come from afar as guests; if there is anything to say, you can say it properly, why must you resort to force?"

"Hm?!"

Su Zhangqing's expression shifted, and he did not say anything; however, regardless of anything else, this Shenguang Xianzi was the mistress of this place, so he naturally had to give her face.

Beside them, Shi Yu's face was deathly pale, his expression full of resentment as he stared fixedly at Su Zhangqing.

"Mm, the Xianzi is right; it was this King who was impulsive."

A gloomy look flashed in Kuangshi Laoguai's eyes, then his expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of amiability.

Su Zhangqing swept a glance at Kuangshi Laoguai, many thoughts flashing through his mind.

This old monster would not let it go so easily, but even if the other party had some scheme, at worst, he would just meet force with force and water with earth.

Seeing Kuangshi Laoguai become so easy to talk to, Shenguang Xianzi revealed a look of surprise on her face.

In her view, the other party would certainly be very displeased at this time and might take the opportunity to stir up trouble; she had not expected the other party to be like this.

"Fellow Daoist Kuangshi is too polite; please return to your seat and sit down."

"Hm."

Kuangshi nodded faintly, then looked at Su Zhangqing with a gloomy expression.

"Brat, for the sake of the host, I will not bully the small with the big; I will ask you a few questions, and if your answers satisfy me, then this old man will not make things difficult for you."

"Father King!"

Upon seeing Kuangshi Laoguai act this way, Shi Yu's face was full of unwillingness; he had suffered such a great loss, yet his father was not actually going to stand up for him.

"Shut up, I have my own sense of propriety."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Shi Yu's eyes, but seeing his father's stern expression, he had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently and say nothing more, though his expression as he looked at Su Zhangqing became increasingly malicious; everyone's gaze fell upon Su Zhangqing.

"Ask me a few questions?"

Su Zhangqing looked at Kuangshi Laoguai with an indifferent expression: "Old thing, don't try to pull rank in front of me; what are you, that you are worthy of questioning me?"

Now that things had developed to this point, becoming enemies with Kuangshi Laoguai was already unavoidable; since that was the case, Su Zhangqing naturally would not be polite to the other party.

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, even Ruyue Xianzi was taken aback for a moment.

She considered herself to be very arrogant in her own conduct, but compared to Su Zhangqing, she felt inferior.

Even if his strength was comparable to the late stage of Golden Core, Kuangshi Laoguai was not someone to be trifled with; did he really want to forge a deadly feud with the other party? "You..."

Hearing this, Kuangshi Laoguai was naturally furious, blood-red light flashing violently in his eyes; he could not remember how many years it had been since anyone dared to speak to him like this.

This brat before him was actually so ignorant of life and death; did he think that just because he had some connection with Ruyue, this seat would not dare to kill him? "Brat, you are courting death!"

The next moment, Kuangshi Laoguai let out a violent shout, and streams of black demon mist surged out; in an instant, the void shook incessantly, and like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, the rolling demonic mist surged toward Su Zhangqing.

"Hm?!"

Su Zhangqing's expression tightened slightly; this old monster's strength was not weak, and a casual strike could annihilate a cultivator of the same rank.

However, what kind of person was Su Zhangqing? He was far from what an ordinary cultivator could compare to; he raised his right hand, and a five-colored streak of light flashed out—on the sword body, light flickered; needless to say, it was the Qingfeng Sword.

Hum! Su Zhangqing did not hesitate to take the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, light flickering all around his body as he injected spiritual power into it; mysterious runes flickered upon the Dharma Treasure, then rotated and flashed before merging into Su Zhangqing's body.

Su Zhangqing then fiercely swung the sword downward with his right hand; silently, a five-colored radiance appeared before his eyes, runes flickering upon the light, clearly no small matter, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the black mist demonic dragon condensed by Kuangshi Laoguai.

Boom! In the void, a huge explosive sound entered their ears, and the entire mountain peak seemed to tremble violently.

After the five-colored radiance flickered for a moment, it tore through the black mist, and after a roar, it swept toward the other party.

"Hm?!"

Such a scene left Kuangshi Laoguai slightly stunned, and then he revealed a look of shock and anger; this result was truly far beyond his expectations.

However, he was, after all, an old monster of the late Golden Core stage; he raised his right hand, and a black shield appeared before him.

"Shoo..."

After a streak of light flickered, a black radiance wrapped around him, blocking Su Zhangqing's sword light.

"Hm?!"

Su Zhangqing's expression shifted slightly; this result was also within his expectations, as the other party was a late-stage Golden Core existence, so how could he be severely injured by a single strike? His move this time was merely to give the other party a deterrent.

After all, the cultivation world relied on strength to speak; without strength, there was no right to speak. Sure enough, after the clash, a look of disbelief appeared on Kuangshi Laoguai's face.

"Impossible, you are only a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, how can you have such strong power?"

"Hmph, is my ability something you can imagine?"

"Brat, you are too arrogant; just because you have a little bit of strength, you really think you can stand on equal footing with me? Do not be too arrogant, otherwise, if you anger this seat, even if I have to pay a price, I will definitely kill you."

Fierce light flashed violently in Kuangshi Laoguai's blood-red eyes, and he spoke in a grim tone, though there was a hint of wariness in his expression.

The opponent is only at the mid-stage of Golden Core yet possesses such strength; if he reaches the late-stage of Golden Core, wouldn't he be no match for this brat?

If the two of them really started fighting, how could Ruyue Xianzi stand by and watch? She would certainly intervene, and by that time, Kuangshi would naturally gain no advantage whatsoever.

"Hmph, if you know what's good for you, back off. Kong Ling is my woman; I advise you to be sensible."

Su Changqing spoke with a calm expression.

Although this feud is set in stone, now is not the time to fall out.

"Your woman?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Kuangshi Laoguai's mouth: "Let me ask you, you and Kong Ling have become Shuangxiu Daolu, who can bear witness to it?"

"Fellow Daoist, have you gone mad? We who cultivate, how could we care about such worldly formalities?"

"Hmph, you cannot say it like that. Among our demon race, Shenguang Xianzi is a famous existence. You want to marry her beloved daughter, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

This fellow Kuangshi Laoguai is also a cunning and treacherous character, step by step inducing Su Changqing to step into a trap.

After some probing, he knew the brat before him was not easy to deal with. Precisely because of this, since martial combat would not work, he would then fight with wits.
