Clang!

Luo Xuan's movements were also extremely quick. He opened the folding fan in his hand, and with sparks flying in all directions, he blocked Zhou Qing's attack.

The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out in an instant, and the two of them retreated five steps back at the same time.

Zhou Qing remained indifferent, while Luo Xuan's expression was extremely gloomy.

His spirit energy was strong and his power was boundless. The Song Changqing in front of him did not seem to have just broken through to the late stage of Soul Formation.

Such strength, even at the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm, was considered the strongest!

"Damn it!"

Seeing Zhou Qing slashing at him again, Luo Xuan cursed under his breath and activated two of the inscription patterns on the fan in his hands. The fan in his hands glowed brightly as he went all out to defend against the attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Both of them attacked very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the magic sword and fan had already clashed more than ten times. The powerful impact caused the enchantment of the mages to ripple and flicker with light.

Pfft.

As they fought, the Azure Jade Dharma Sword in Zhou Qing's hand suddenly flashed with two inscription patterns that glowed with an azure light. The sword swept away the folding fan and then slashed out at Luo Xuan's chest.

His clothes had been torn apart, and a bloody wound instantly appeared on Luo Xuan's chest as fresh blood dripped from it.

At this moment, the shock in Luo Xuan's heart had reached its peak.

Although he was an elite disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect, he was not a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. On the contrary, he had a lot of battle experience, and was in no way inferior to Pei Jingying.

But the Song Changqing in front of him, when he made a move, it was natural, fierce, and without any flaws.

Whether it was combat experience or control over power, almost all of them had crushed him. He must have gone through a large amount of combat experience.

However, why was such a person unknown before?

At the same time that Luo Xuan was shocked, Zhou Qing also frowned.

After a few exchanges, he had already discovered that Luo Xuan's body strength was far inferior to his own.

Even if he didn't activate the inscription, his fleshly body alone would be able to suppress the latter.

But in the current situation, he had to burst forth with an inscription in order to injure Luo Xuan and restrict the strength of his fleshly body, so he wouldn't be able to fully utilize it.

This result was not satisfactory.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

It was a problem with the weapon!

The ultimate move of the Zhou Clan was the Thunderbolt Sword Technique. From the moment he stepped onto the path of martial arts, his weapon was also his sword. Even now, he was still the same.

The Thunderclap Sword Technique was completely different from ordinary sword moves. It followed the path of opening and closing. The idea was to use absolute strength to crush the opponent, thus allowing the opponent to display the greatest part of his strength.

But now, because he couldn't reveal his identity, Zhou Qing couldn't use the Thunderclap Sword Technique. He could only take a step back and use other sword moves.

While there was agility and elegance, it also greatly restricted the use of one's strength.

Presently, his physical body's strength was far stronger than when he was at the same level as Duan Ling Tian, and he was only able to exert his full strength when using weapons such as heavy swords and large axes.

However, his thoughts had been stuck in a dead end. He had always used the sword as a weapon and had never been able to use the Thunderclap Sword Technique. That was why his strength had been restricted.

"It's time to change weapons."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

While he was thinking, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread out. Zhou Qing was slightly startled and quickly recovered.

Luo Xuan suddenly raised his arm as his entire body surged with spirit energy. All of it poured into the folding fan magic tool.

Five inscriptions instantly lit up on the handle of the fan, and an incomparably enormous silhouette of a fan appeared above Luo Xuan's head.

Luo Xuan's face was incomparably pale, and his aura was sluggish. However, a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.

Activating the five inscription patterns required a terrifying amount of Spiritual Energy. Even though he was at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage, he could not sustain it. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy within his body was almost exhausted.

This time, he was going to kill Song Changqing!

Only by killing this person could he make a great contribution, and his Master could give him some pointers.

At this point, Luo Xuan's expression became even more ferocious. He spat out a drop of blood essence and it was instantly absorbed by the fan wielding magical artifact.

At the same time, the shadow of the fan above his head became more solid, emitting a monstrous amount of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, causing the barrier to constantly flicker.

Su Mu and the others had unsightly expressions on their faces. They quickly moved to repair the Mage's boundary.

The surrounding thousand year old disciples of the stone monument were all shaken by this enormous pressure until their faces turned pale, revealing expressions of fear.

"Fall!"

Luo Xuan roared, and the folding fan in his hand fiercely fell.

Boom!

As he moved, the gigantic phantom fan also crashed down at Zhou Qing at an extremely fast speed.

The originally opened fan shadow rapidly closed as it descended, with a total of fifty percent. With every fold that fused together, the fluctuations of spirit energy became more terrifying!

Facing Luo Xuan's all-out attack, a serious expression finally appeared in Zhou Qing's eyes.

This move similarly contained the ability to lock down one's Qi. It was several times more terrifying than Yao Qing's Solar Fist, making it difficult for him to use the Ethereal Wind Steps to break free.

They could only fight head on!

Putting away the Cyan Jade Sword, Zhou Qing suddenly opened up both of his arms. As he clenched his hands, Spiritual Energy surged out and two gigantic golden palms appeared.

"Golden Spirit Heaven Shaking Palm!"

The instant the fan shadow landed, Zhou Qing shouted. He closed his arms, and the two golden palms suddenly merged together, catching the fan shadow.

Boom!

Violent spirit energy, with the phantom of a golden palm and a folding fan as the center, exploded forth, instantly wreaking havoc on the entire Martial Arts Practice Grounds!

Energy ripples spread out one after another, and the barrier that assaulted the mage flashed crazily, as if it was going to collapse at any moment.

Su Mu and the others were also shocked. The four mages attacked at the same time and only stabilized the barrier after surging mana.

Zhou Qing's expression was grave and his arms were trembling. Cracks had appeared on them.

This move was too powerful. It had already surpassed the scope of martial arts and was more like a technique!

"You can be proud of yourself for forcing me to such a state!"

Luo Xuan's injuries were very severe. He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his face devoid of blood.

Forcing himself to use this technique was a great drain on his body. It would take him at least a year to recover, and a drop of blood essence had also injured his origin energy.

In order to kill Zhou Qing, he had already used all of his trump cards.

Seeing the light of the two giant golden palms gradually grow dimmer, Zhou Qing sighed in his heart.

Although his battle prowess was strong, his cultivation was still at its limit. If he were to break through to the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm, he wouldn't need to expend so much energy to defend against Luo Xuan's attack.

Rumble …

With a thought from Zhou Qing, all 36 acupoints in his body began to vibrate simultaneously. The spiritual energy that had been depleted was suddenly filled!

The Myriad Spirit Codex's power was that it could store spirit energy inside the cave.

If he fought to the point where his spirit energy was exhausted, he could instantly use the spirit energy stored in his cave to recover to his peak state.

To cultivators, being able to recover instantly was equivalent to being in the Second Anima!

As a result, Zhou Qing had kept this trump card hidden away. He had not used it since breaking through to the Congealing Soul Realm.

But today, he had no choice but to use it.

The Spiritual Energy instantly recovered and gushed out. Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and the two giant golden palms also instantly became solid.

"What?!"

Luo Xuan was stunned, then his face turned pale.

He only dared to use this desperate move because he knew that Zhou Qing had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. However, the sudden recovery of Zhou Qing had completely disrupted his plans.

At the same time, Su Mu and the others also stood up in shock.

This kid, how many trump cards did he have?

Staring at Zhou Qing in shock, this thought simultaneously appeared in everyone's mind.

On the field.

Under the support of dense Spiritual Energy, the giant golden palm became more and more solid. On the other hand, the shadow of the folding fan kept flickering and the light became increasingly dim.

"Break for me!"

As Zhou Qing took a step forward, he made a tearing motion with his palms.

In mid-air, the two giant golden palms suddenly flipped as well. Following that, they grabbed onto the phantom of the folding fan and ruthlessly pulled on it.

Sizzle.

An ear-piercing ripping sound resounded throughout the entire training field. The giant golden palm tore the phantom fan into two halves from within!

The shadow of the fan scattered and violent Spiritual Energy poured out. The giant golden palm tore through the air and instantly appeared in front of Luo Xuan.

Under Luo Xuan's extremely terrified eyes, two giant palms came slamming down from the left and right!

If both his palms were to come together, under such terrifying might, he would definitely turn into minced meat!

"I admit defeat!"

At the same time, Su Mu, who was in the spectator's grandstand, suddenly made a move and pointed his finger out.

Buzz.

The two giant golden palms that contained terrifying power suddenly stopped, and then, in the next instant, they silently vanished, as if they had never existed.

At the same time, the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly disappeared from the training field. Everything returned to normal.

Zhou Qing glanced at Su Mu and frowned slightly.

What a pity.

He had wanted to kill Luo Xuan immediately, but this fellow admitted defeat. If he were to make a move now, it would be a violation of the rules.

"Little friend Song, he admitted defeat."

Su Mu looked at Zhou Qing apologetically.

"It's fine."

Zhou Qing waved his hand, ignoring him and turning to Pei Jingying.

"Admit defeat."

Pei Jingying spoke without hesitation, and after glancing at Zhou Qing with a complicated expression, he turned around and walked out of the Mage's barrier.

He knew very well that Zhou Qing's combat prowess was much greater than his. Now that he was back at his peak, and that he was not a match for Zhou Qing, there was no need for him to waste any effort.

"This fellow is quite interesting …"

As he watched Pei Jingying's departing figure, Zhou Qing's clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"The competition for the spots has ended. The final victor is Song Changqing!"

Tang Ji stood up and announced the result loudly.

There was complete silence. Everyone was still in a daze, unable to react.

At the side of the arena, Su Leng's beautiful face was stiff, and the expression in her beautiful eyes was extremely complicated.

Song Changqing, who appeared to be the weakest of the lot, had actually managed to obtain a spot in the finals. No one had expected such a result.

Zhou Qing did not care about what these people thought. With a soft sigh, he turned around and walked out of the arena.

Luo Xuan's entire body was covered in blood, and his face was pale. His elegant figure from before had completely collapsed, and he was still standing in his original spot.

As Zhou Qing passed by, his face suddenly turned ferocious.

A vicious and venomous hatred instantly surged within his eyes.

A muffled sound rang out as Luo Xuan's body transformed into a blur as he charged towards Zhou Qing!

At the same time, a cold light flashed from his sleeve and a sharp dagger quietly slipped into his hand. As his spirit energy surged, it fiercely pierced towards the latter's throat.

The two of them were extremely close to each other, and everything happened in an instant. Even Su Mu and the others on the spectator stand were unable to react in time.

However, the instant Luo Xuan made his move, the corners of Zhou Qing's lips curled up in a cold smile.

He had purposely passed by Luo Xuan to give him a chance to attack. Once Luo Xuan attacked, he would have a reason to kill him.

Zhou Qing was betting, betting that Luo Xuan would attack him if he was resentful!

Now, the fish had taken the bait!

Bang.

Zhou Qing, who had been hiding in his sleeves for a long time, suddenly punched out with his fist, smashing it ruthlessly onto Luo Xuan's wrist.

The latter cried out miserably. As the dagger flew out of his hand, Zhou Qing grabbed it by the throat.

The entire stadium was in an uproar!
