One sword after another was slashed out, with a speed reaching its extreme.

The Zhu Yan of the Ninth Layer of the God Realm was repeatedly slashed by the Sword Qi, causing it to cry out in pain. Even with its colossal body, it quickly became riddled with holes, with divine blood flowing from its feet like a stream.

Finally.

Thousands of Sword Qi condensed into a single sword.

The body of the Zhu Yan of the Ninth Layer of the God Realm suddenly stiffened, followed by its massive head rolling off its neck and falling to the ground, with divine blood gushing from the severed neck.

Rumble!!

The gigantic corpse fell to the ground, causing a considerable stir.

After slaying the opponent, Zhongshan Kongzhou’s icy expression eased slightly.

"Is Direct Disciple Qiu alright?"

"I’m fine, thank you, Senior Brother!"

Shen Changqing’s expression was filled with emotion.

A formidable Nine-Layer God Realm expert was so cleanly and swiftly slain by the opponent; such power can only be described as incredibly formidable.

Upon hearing this.

Zhongshan Kongzhou said calmly: "You and I are both disciples of the Candle Sect, supporting each other is what we should do. This battlefield is treacherous; although your strength is not afraid of ordinary God Realms, it cannot be ensured that top-notch God Realms won’t intervene.

From now on, we must be a bit more cautious."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

"Hmm!"

Zhongshan Kongzhou nodded, not saying anything further, casually swinging a sword into the void.

Kacha—

The void shattered, and a burly middle-aged man fell out from it.

"Coveting in the shadows, deserving death!"

Zhongshan Kongzhou uttered a word, and in the next moment, charged towards that God Realm.

With his intervention.

Some earlier God Realms who wanted to deal with Shen Changqing hesitated a bit.

Because.

The strength Zhongshan Kongzhou displayed was too powerful.

Moreover.

Since he is a peerless genius, the Candle Sect might secretly dispatch other experts to protect him. Although no powerful ones were detected nearby, it doesn’t rule out this possibility.

Weighing the risk against the reward, some God Realms of the White Jade Sect chose to temporarily retreat.

The battlefield is vast.

There’s no need to focus on killing a single person.

Since the opponent might have strong protection behind him, it’s better for truly powerful beings to deal with it, while they need only handle other cultivators of the Candle Sect.

The sense of danger subsided.

Shen Changqing slightly let out a breath of relief, but did not completely relax.

"Zhongshan Kongzhou’s intervention indeed scared off a batch of God Realms, but it can’t be ensured more powerful God Realms won’t step in. The struggle between racial powers doesn’t care for fairness.

If a true expert makes a move, with my current strength, it won’t be easy to resist.

Looks like I’ll need to find protection—"

His mind was racing.

Needing to reap battle merit while finding protection requires a certain approach.

Scanning the battlefield.

Soon after.

Shen Changqing found a suitable target.

It was two Divine Realm Perfection experts fighting fiercely.

One of them, while not very familiar, had relevant memories in Zhongshan Chou’s recollection.

Zhongshan Ling!

A Candle Sect Elder, a powerful Divine Realm Perfection expert.

Although he’s not ranked very highly among the many elders of the Candle Sect, he’s definitely not low, and his strength in the realm is considered fairly powerful.

As for his opponent, Shen Changqing did not know them, but to be evenly matched, they too must be a powerful Divine Realm Perfection expert.

Boom!

Boom!!

Zhongshan Ling transformed into a Candle Shadow, with his red snake body crushing the void, entangled in a relentless battle with a Zhu Yan thousands of feet long.

At times, darkness would descend, yet it had little effect.

The innate divine abilities of the Zhongshan Clan are strong, but the innate divine abilities of the White Jade Clan are not weak either.

It’s not an easy task to drag a strong expert of the same realm into the Abyss of Dark.

However.

He was not in a great hurry.

The goal was not to kill the opponent, just to keep them entangled.

Looking at the overall situation, the Candle Sect had not yet fallen into a disadvantage; comparatively, more God Realms of the White Jade Sect had fallen, so Zhongshan Ling was naturally not anxious.

Suddenly.

A faint ripple of a Divine Soul came, causing his complexion to freeze.

Just then.

The void slightly fluctuated, and a figure suddenly appeared on one side.

The mysterious and unfathomable waves spread out.
