C36 (1/2)
”Crap!”
The black-robed leader reacted in a flash. In the instant that he split the Corpse Spirit apart, he drew his saber to defend.
At the same time, the powerful Spiritual Energy of the late stage of the Soul Condensation realm surged. It gathered towards his left arm and he threw out a punch!
Pfft.
The faint sound of a sword slashing into flesh rang out before the leader's vision blurred. In front of him appeared a young man with a sword in his hand and a cold expression on his face.
The black-robed leader wanted to slash him down, but he could feel that his body was no longer under his control. His eyes were filled with incredulous fear.
A line of blood quickly appeared on his neck. Soon after, blood gushed out and his head was sent flying by the impact, tumbling to the ground.
Looking at the headless corpse on the ground, Zhou Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Turning around, he dashed towards another black-robed man.
This black-robed leader's strength was at the late stage of Soul Formation. Zhou Qing used the ghoul to attract his attention, then quickly moved twice as fast as he could to behead him.
If it wasn't for him catching this late stage Soul Formation cultivator by surprise and forcing him to react and use all of his techniques, even Zhou Qing would have to spend a lot of effort to kill him.
On the other side, two mid stage Soul Formation black robed men were fighting with the zombie. The zombie was not tired, so it didn't feel any pain and was not afraid of death.
Even so, under the violent attacks of the two, the two zombies had lost an arm and a leg, and their bodies were in tatters. They couldn't last much longer.
Zhou Qing did not waste time talking with the two. With a cold expression, a large amount of spiritual energy was poured into his sword as he slashed at one of them.
Buzz.
A mysterious inscription pattern instantly lit up on the surface of the sword, and in the next moment, a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly filled the entire area.
The first battle to break through to the early Spirit Condensation stage, Zhou Qing directly used the power of an inscription!
”Thunderclap Sword, Rain of Sword Qi!”
Zhou Qing let out a low growl as he waved the magical sword in his hand. A sharp, three-meter long sword beam instantly slashed out, shattering the void and transforming it into thousands upon thousands of tiny strands of sword qi.
”Thunderclap Sword Technique!” ”You are a member of the Zhou Family?!”
The black-robed man's eyes were filled with terror as he roared. The spirit energy around his body surged, wanting to forcefully tear apart the sword beams that filled the sky.
However, in the next moment, the sound of flesh slicing unceasingly rang out from his body. Tens of thousands of sword Qis crisscrossed about, and the black-robed man's body instantly disintegrated.
The last person was overwhelmed with shock. His companion had died such a miserable death, causing his fighting spirit to crumble as he turned around and ran for his life!
Zhou Qing gave a cold humph, and with a quick step, he suddenly doubled his speed. In half a breath's time, his figure appeared behind the black-robed man.
Pfft!
Zhou Qing stabbed out with his sword, his speed reaching the limit as he directly penetrated through the heart of the black-robed figure.
The latter's body continued to run for a distance due to the inertia. Only then did she heavily fall to the ground, causing dust to fly into the air.
Pulling out his sword, Zhou Qing carried the corpse back to the village and threw it into the well along with the black-robed leader's corpse.
As for the corpse that had been chopped into pieces by the sword Qis, Zhou Qing had directly poured oil on it, ignited it and burned it to ashes.
After taking care of the battlefield, Zhou Qing once again concealed his aura and hid in a small room.
Since these three had not returned for a long time, the Heavy Sword Sect would definitely send out people to check out the situation once again.
Zhou Qing had already made his decision. If one came, he would kill one. If that old thief Gu Canghai didn't come personally, he would slaughter all the people from the Heavy Sword Sect!
He wanted to let Gu Canghai understand that some people could not be easily provoked.
At the same time, within the Heavy Sword Sect.
”How is this possible …?” ”Impossible!”
In the secret room, Gu Canghai mumbled in a daze, with disheveled hair.
Not far in front of him, there were three levels of shelves, and on top of the shelves, there were nearly a hundred pieces of soul jade arranged in an orderly fashion.
However, compared to the middle and lower layers, the top layer was packed and empty. There were only five pieces of Spirit Communication Jade.
Two of them were completely unharmed, while the other three were emitting a faint spiritual light. On them, there were astonishingly many cracks, and the cracks were still spreading rapidly.
Ka-cha.
The cracks spread extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the three Spirit Channels were covered in cracks.
”No!”
Gu Canghai's eyes turned red as he roared. However, even before his voice faded, the three pieces of communication jade had already shattered into pieces.
The owners of these three communication jades were precisely the three black-robed men he had sent out to kill Wang Liang and the others.
One of them was Elder Mei, someone with the strength of a late stage Soul Formation cultivator. The other two people were also his direct disciples, the future pillars of the Heavy Sword Sect.
In the entire Heavy Sword Sect, including the two of them, there were a total of ten Soul Condensation cultivators. However, in just a few days, eight of them had died!
The secret room fell into silence, and the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of Gu Canghai, who was like a wild beast.
Moments later, the door of the secret chamber opened. A middle-aged beauty wearing a red gown walked in with reddened eyes. It was the Sect Leader's wife, Hua Ling.
”Canghai …”
Looking at Gu Canghai's bloodshot eyes, Hua Ling's expression was a little frightened. She opened her mouth, wanting to comfort him.
”Follow me. If I don't take revenge for this, I, Gu Canghai, am truly unworthy of my title!”
Gu Canghai suddenly stood up and let out a low roar from his throat. With a slap of his palm, the thick stone door of the secret chamber suddenly cracked into pieces.
Zhou Qing had been lurking in Little Stone Village for an entire day and night.
However, after killing the three black-robed men, there was no one from the Heavy Sword Sect. It was as though they had already forgotten about these three.
In the room, Zhou Qing was lying in hibernation like a dead animal, not moving at all.
Three cultivators had died, one of them was even at the late stage of the Soul Condensation stage. This had severely damaged the Heavy Sword Sect's foundation, so Gu Canghai couldn't possibly stay calm.
What Zhou Qing needed to do now was to wait for them.
One night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Zhou Qing, who had been expressionless the entire time, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
”The rabbit is coming.”
Two powerful auras were rushing towards Little Stone Village!
The peak of the Soul Formation stage was very fast. After three breaths of time, Gu Canghai and Hua Ling arrived at the entrance of Little Rock Village.
Gu Canghai's face was ashen. The instant he stopped moving, a massive amount of spiritual sense was released like a tidal wave, completely covering the small Stone Village.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Condensation realm, and he had already formed all seven of his spirits. Naturally, his Spiritual Sense was born, and although it wasn't too big, it was enough to cover Little Stone Village.
However, very quickly, Gu Canghai's expression became extremely unsightly. Because of his Spiritual Sense, the entire village became empty without a single trace.
After a moment of silence, Gu Canghai rotated his palm and a dark golden heavy sword appeared. It actually had four inscription patterns engraved on it, and was a high-grade magic tool.
The spirit energy in his body surged as he released his peak level Soul Formation aura. His long hair fluttered in the wind.
The extremely tyrannical aura caused Hua Ling, who was standing behind him, to slightly change her expression and retreat a few steps.
