C14 (1/2)
At the entrance of the mountain path, the people behind saw the Black Fiend duo climbing up the mountain, and they became even more frenzied. Almost everyone targeted Zhou Qing and the others who were blocking the path, and started attacking them madly.
”Ah …”
In the blink of an eye, two people in the group howled miserably. Blood flowed all over their bodies as they slowly fell to the ground.
When they entered the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, besides the two mages, there was a total of 19 cultivators. At this point, Zhou Qing looked around. Including him, there were only four people left.
”Run!”
Zhou Qing acted like he was no match against a middle stage Spirit Opening Cultivator. With a loud roar, he 'panicked' and fled to the right.
”…”
”That kid, is he fleeing from a battle?”
”Cultivators always defy the will of the heavens. How can there be someone so cowardly and afraid of death when they press onwards?” Some people sneered, their words full of disdain.
To the side, Chai Dazhi watched Zhou Qing's fleeing figure in a daze. He hesitated for a moment, then followed his example and escaped through the entrance.
When the two of them fled, the other seemed to have not heard them. Regardless of what they were doing, they were all focused on the remaining two people.
”A bunch of trash!” Halfway up the mountain, the black-robed duo caught sight of the sound and happened to see the last two people being destroyed. Not only did they not feel the slightest bit of pity, they even cursed in anger.
On the right side of the road, Zhou Feng and Lan Ningxia also noticed the terrified look on Zhou Qing's face as he fled towards the four noble families' territory.
”This fellow must have been scared out of his wits and panicked. He actually dared to come here.”
The paths of the four great families were guarded by Dao Protectors. Anyone who dared to take even half a step into the thunder lagoon would be turned into slag!
Zhou Qing was able to survive until now because the dao protectors had never seen such a hilarious situation before, so their reaction was only slightly slower.
Sure enough, when Zhou Qing was only ten feet away from the boundary, two powerful auras suddenly rose up. The two Dao Protectors stepped forward and stopped Zhou Qing.
”Those who cross the border will be killed without mercy.”
The Lan Clan Dao Protector looked at Zhou Qing coldly.
Zhou Qing stopped in his tracks and looked around in a daze. Then, his face revealed a terrified look. The little guy panicked for a moment, and did not have the slightest intention of crossing over. He will leave right now, and he will leave right away! ”
”F * ck off.”
The man from the Lan family snorted coldly.
The two Dao Protectors were at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm, so they could sense Zhou Qing's cultivation. He was only at the late stage of the Spirit Opening Realm, so they weren't a threat at all.
”This is the moment!”
Just as the two of them relaxed, Zhou Qing's expression turned cold. The three hundred energy whirlpools exploded outwards as he stomped heavily on the ground.
”Not good!”
Both of them were stunned, but they quickly recovered and rushed out almost at the same time, chasing after Zhou Qing.
However, Zhou Qing had already planned everything out, and with his full strength, it was time for them to reach the top of the mountain.
The distance between them and the two of them, who were still in a dazed state, was only 100 meters.
”Stop!”
In the next moment, Zhou Qing exploded in a violent roar.
When he raised his head in astonishment, the two dao protectors' pupils immediately constricted.
Zhou Qing's left hand was holding Lan Ningxia's dazed state, while the magical sword in his right hand was placed horizontally across Zhou Feng's neck. His pitch-black pupils revealed a murderous intent.
”If you want them to die, then come on up.”
The Blood Cloud Peak, which had been fighting in a state of chaos, instantly quieted down to the point that one could hear a pin drop.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. Even the two men in black robes, who were fighting on the mountain path in the middle and had been caught up, stopped their fight and looked in their direction with stunned expressions.
The two Dao Protectors had stood at the peak of the Awakened Soul Realm for many years, yet they had never been threatened by an ant in the late stage of the Awakening Realm. They had simply not heard Zhou Qing's words.
”You dare!”
The shouts were like a clap of thunder. The two of them charged over with only one thought on their minds.
Save him and then kill this reckless ant!
Pfft!
Without another word, Zhou Qing's cold sword flashed by, blood spurting out as an arm flew out.
Zhou Feng looked at his severed arm, which was still spurting blood. After staring blankly for a moment, he finally let out a shrill cry. ”My arm!”
Silence. The Blood Cloud Peak, which had gathered hundreds of people, was completely silent.
The two furious Dao Protectors had no choice but to halt in their footsteps.
Zhou Qing actually dared to harm these two Dao Protectors of the two great families in front of them. Everyone present couldn't believe what they were seeing, and they immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
This late stage spirit realm cultivator had eaten the heart of a leopard!
Zhou Feng cried out in pain. Zhou Qing frowned, and the sword that was still dripping blood once again pressed up against his neck.
Zhou Qing recognized this person. He was the son of a servant of the Zhou family, but because he was Zhou Xuan Lang's trusted aide, his status was not low.
He was completely loyal to Zhou Xuan Lang and had once bullied men and women in the past. He had even personally taught them a lesson, but he didn't expect to meet them here.
Feeling the threatening cold from the blade, Zhou Feng's face turned pale, his entire body trembling like a sieve, but he did not dare to make a sound.
He knew that the madman in front of him was not putting on an act.
”Third Uncle, save Zhou Feng's life!”
In the distance, for the first time ever, Zhou Xuan Lang stopped being aloof and frowned slightly.
