"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.

"Halt!"

Gu Canghai was incomparably furious. His eyes turned red as he roared. Spiritual Energy flooded into the heavy sword, and the four inscription patterns on the heavy sword instantly lit up!

Holding the sword with both hands, Gu Canghai raised the heavy sword above his head. On the sword's body, a brownish-yellow Spiritual Energy covered it, and the light became brighter and brighter.

Boom!

The instant his aura reached its peak, the heavy sword slashed down from the sky like a heavy mountain.

A terrifying earthen yellow sword beam that was over ten Zhang in size tore through the air and shot towards the entire small Stone Village!

The moment this sword beam was sent out, Gu Canghai's blood-red eyes suddenly looked towards a certain part of Stone Village.

A wave of spiritual power was spreading out from that location!

"Gu Canghai, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A light laugh filled with ridicule rang out, and in the next second, Zhou Qing rushed out from the small room. The magic sword in his hand glinted with a cold light as it shot towards Gu Canghai.

"It really is you!"

When he saw Zhou Qing's face, Gu Canghai felt a dull pain in his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He thought that there was someone else who had killed Elder Mei, but he never thought that this person would be the early stage Soul Condensation Song Changqing!

The pain of losing their son, as well as the feeling of being cheated in the Wan-An auction, all turned into a monstrous rage in an instant!

Gu Canghai roared like a mad beast as his body instantly flashed forward. The four inscription patterns on the heavy sword in his hand lit up once again!

Hua Ling's pretty face was icy as well. She took out a short sword with four inscriptions on it and attacked Zhou Qing from the other side.

At this moment, both of them wished that they could chop this bastard in front of them into mincemeat!

Bang.

The couple rushed out at the same time, transforming into a yellow and a red streak of cold light that converged together and instantly transformed into a sword afterimage that was tens of feet long!

The shadow of the heavy sword was blood-red, its aura far surpassing that of Gu Canghai activating the Four-Marked Marking Slash just now. Its speed was even more terrifying, and wherever it went, a ravine would appear in the ground along with sonic booms.

"A combination attack?"

Even Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly when he sensed the terrifying aura of the blood-red heavy sword. He finally understood the reason why Gu Canghai dared to establish his own sect, despite being at the peak of the Soul Condensation realm.

He really had a trump card!

The power of the duo's joint attack had already far surpassed the level of the Condensation Realm. Even a Mage at the early stage of the Spirit Realm could be killed if they were a little bit careless!

Zhou Qing had originally wanted to use this opportunity to fight Gu Canghai with his own strength. Perhaps, he would be able to gain some fighting insights.

However, he couldn't do that in such a dangerous situation.

Zhou Qing didn't dare to think anymore. He shouted in his heart, "Curse spirit, come out and help me!"

"This sovereign will only help you once. Are you really going to waste this opportunity to kill these two Soul Condensation ants?"

The voice of the Curse Spirit sounded out, seemingly very dissatisfied with Zhou Qing's use of a cow-blade to kill chickens.

"Cut the crap!"

Zhou Qing poured all the Spiritual Energy in his body into the sword without any care for his life. The light of the two inscription patterns instantly increased and the third also faintly lit up.

"Alright, don't resist."

As the Curse Spirit's voice faded, Zhou Qing's body trembled. An extremely valiant and terrifying energy suddenly erupted from the spirit bone in the Stone of Life!

Zhou Qing was delighted, but immediately after, a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

Boom!

Not far away, Gu Canghai had already attacked. On that heavy sword, a terrifying sword light condensed and then slashed towards Zhou Qing!

"Die!"

Hua Ling bellowed and released her dagger, piercing through the air and brazenly shooting towards Zhou Qing!

"This is bad, Zhou boy, your meridians are too weak. They are unable to withstand my strength and can only last for a single breath of time!"

"One breath, one breath! I'll kill them all with one sword!"

Zhou Qing let out a roar. If the Curse Spirit still didn't possess him, he would die from the full power of Gu Canghai and Hua Ling.

Before he finished speaking, the terrifying energy from the Stone of Life had completely exploded out, instantly enveloping Zhou Qing's entire body.

At the same time, his spiritual force also began to boil, directly transforming into mana!

Weng! *

The sword trembled, and two inscriptions instantly lit up. In that instant, the Dharma power within Zhou Qing's body was completely drained.

This sword strike was the might of the four inscriptions!

Boom!

As Zhou Qing's sword slashed out, a 200 foot long pitch-black sword light suddenly formed, enveloping the sword in his hand and cutting through the heavens and earth!

The pitch-black sword beam covered the sky. At this moment, the surrounding spiritual energy was in an uproar, and was unceasingly shaking!

Swoosh.

The attacks of Gu Canghai and Hua Ling were almost instantly torn apart. Zhou Qing was like a clap of thunder as he grabbed the terrifying pitch-black sword beam, and in a blink of an eye, he was already in front of them.

At this moment, both of them were shocked.

Facing Zhou Qing's earth-shattering sword attack, they couldn't resist at all. It was as if their entire bodies were stuck in a quagmire, unable to struggle at all.

"Mage? How could it be a mage? "

Hua Ling's shrill scream resounded throughout the world. She was the first one to be struck and exploded by the pitch-black sword beam!

As the rain of blood swirled in the air, the black sword beam's power did not diminish at all as it slashed towards Gu Canghai once again.

Covered in the aura of death, Gu Canghai suddenly met Zhou Qing's eyes. It was pitch-black, and his killing intent was extremely cold.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind.

He had looked up to that figure before. It was a peerless Heaven's Chosen who shone with boundless radiance, unparalleled throughout his generation.

It was extremely similar to the look in the youth's eyes, or it could be said that … It was exactly the same!

Wasn't the guy with such terrifying innate talent that caused people to despair, already dead?!

As if he had thought of something, in the next moment, Gu Canghai's eyes suddenly widened, and a dense shock emerged on his face.

"You are …"

Puff.

Before he finished speaking, the pitch-black sword beam had already arrived.

The terrifying power instantly tore Gu Canghai's body into pieces!
