“That’s right, join our Quan Zhen Sect…”

Before the Taoist on the right could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Qing.

“Quan Zhen Sect? I’ve heard of them before, but how did the Quan Zhen Sect produce two trash like you?”

“Trash?”

The Taoist priest on the right turned red.

“Senior, let’s attack together and kill this shameless man!

The one on the left holding worldly dust was the senior.

“Sigh, it’s one thing to insult the two of us, but to insult our sect…”

As the senior spoke, he suddenly widened his eyes and waved the dust in his hand, firing an invisible energy shot toward Chu Qing!

Meanwhile, Chu Qing was still wiping the rusty sword, and there was a hint of joy in the junior’s eyes. His senior was an expert in invisible attacks and they were extremely destructive.

That arrogant young man will surely lose his power in an instant!

However, before the invisible energy could reach Chu Qing, it was blocked by a golden barrier around Chu Qing, causing strong ripples.

“With such weak skills, you dare to venture down the mountain to banish demons and do good? I advise you to return to the sect and cultivate for a few more years.”

Chu Qing smiled disdainfully.

“How dare you insult Senior! I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The junior was filled with rage as he rushed towards Chu Qing, leaving a trail of faint red afterimage behind him.

The junior had a fire spiritual body. In other words, he could control fire energy.

“Roar!”

The junior let out a furious roar and threw a punch at Chu Qing’s face!

Only then did Chu Qing seem to move his body and stop wiping the rusty sword. Golden energy appeared around him. In the next moment, he easily dodged the punch!

What?!

The junior’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. However, in the next moment, he pulled out a three-inch-long iron rod from his long sleeve and swung it at Chu Qing with a buzzing sound!

Holding the rusty sword in one hand, Chu Qing used it to block the iron rod, creating a clear and sharp sound.

The junior felt a powerful force pushing against his hand, almost making him lose his grip on the weapon. This time, his surprise turned into shock.

How is he so powerful with just a sword?!

Most martial artists who specialized in sword fighting loved nothing more than engaging in duels and taking an unconventional approach. They excelled at wielding swords due to their lightness and agility. However, the opponent in front of him appeared to be using a rusty longsword to block his attacks, which was unexpected and unconventional.

And what exactly was that golden spiritual energy?

“My Fire-toad Rod!”

The junior snarled. There was a faint mark on his rod after it clashed with the sword. Around the mark, rust began to appear.

“How dare you destroy my weapon!”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Chu Qing shrugged and stabbed again!

His internal energy was incredibly powerful, giving his attacks absolute destructive force. As a result, he didn’t hold back or go for light, agile strikes. Instead, he charged forward, his sword piercing through the air with great force!

Swish!

With a soft sound, Chu Qing slashed again before the junior could even check if his weapon was damaged.

For a moment, the sound of metal colliding filled the air. The two of them exchanged dozens of blows in a short period of time.

Sh*t!

The junior was enraged when he saw the Fire-toad Rod in his hand split into two. His master had refined the weapon for him, which greatly facilitated his use of the fire element. He did not expect it to be broken in the middle of the battle!

“My Fire-toad Rod!”

The junior widened his eyes as he yelled. Only then did he notice that his rod was already covered in rust. It was as if this weapon had rusted and aged for countless years in just moments!

“Junior, come back!”

The junior wanted to continue fighting Chu Qing to death. But in the next moment, his right arm was cut off by Chu Qing’s sword. The rusty sword could cut through iron like mud, let alone human flesh!

“My arm!!!”

The junior was at his wits’ end. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent since he started practicing cultivation. However, he knew that he would never have the chance to face another opponent again!

The senior became anxious. He had brought his junior down the mountain to train, but he did not expect to encounter such a powerful opponent. In just a few clashes, Chu Qing had cut off his junior’s arm.

The senior’s demeanor changed as he charged toward Chu Qing. He no longer looked graceful and immortal. Instead, he looked frantic. He launched several airballs mixed with hidden wind blades from the worldly dust in his hand.

“Let him go!”

Chu Qing smiled evilly and completely ignored the senior’s growls. Instead, he picked up the junior with one hand. The moment the wind blades arrived, he lifted the junior in front of him!

Shing!

The sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh could be heard. The junior’s struggling roar slowly faded, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

Am I not one of the strongest cultivators in this world? How did I… end up like this?
