Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 182 - 172 Liu Hongxue’s Attitude

"Crack! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Guan Huaigu’s spear thrust was incredibly fast, and at the same time, thunder flickered along the shaft of the spear. Dazzling purple lightning wrapped around it, and a terrifying might of thunder and lightning instantly enveloped Qin Qing.

"Such tremendous power!" Qin Qing’s face turned grave in an instant, as his spiritual power surged wildly regardless of the consequences, and he manifested his Dragon Ball Martial Soul.

The Dragon Ball Martial Soul was not the true form of Qin Qing’s Martial Soul; his actual Martial Soul was the Divine Dragon.

If the Divine Dragon Martial Spirit were to appear, it might stir up a massive storm on the Heavenly Mind Continent, so Qin Qing had to hold back, manifesting his Martial Soul in the totem of a Dragon Ball.

Thus, to outsiders, his Martial Soul appeared to be nothing more than a bead that faintly pulsed with the shadowy movements of a dragon or serpent, as if light was fleeting over it.

But at this moment, even as Qin Qing manifested his Martial Soul and pushed his strength to the limit, while also unleashing the Blood Burning Secret Technique, he still felt an intense sense of peril, as if it were seeping through every pore, ready to engulf him in an instant!

Guan Huaigu was a figure at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Although he had not yet achieved perfection in the Golden Core Realm, his cultivation was far beyond that of Xie Jin’an, whom Qin Qing had slain when the latter had just entered the Golden Core Realm as a novice Martial Dao Master.

Xie Jin’an had advanced to the Golden Core Realm on the arena and hadn’t even fully transformed his Golden Core; the spiritual power in his body hadn’t completed its metamorphosis.

He hadn’t fully mastered the power of the Golden Core Realm.

But Guan Huaigu was different.

Guan Huaigu had broken through to the Golden Core Realm thirty years ago.

Thirty years of refinement, something that could not be compared to a newly advanced Golden Core True Person like Xie Jin’an.

So, with the appearance of this spear thrust, Qin Qing felt an enormous threat.

But even if the threat was enormous, Qin Qing had no choice but to confront it head-on.

To escape from a Golden Core True Person?

That was simply impossible!

Moreover, Qin Qing had the Body-Protecting Talisman gifted to him by his master Bai Qiuhe and Dean Xu Fang—if there was a true danger to his life, Qin Qing could also activate the talisman.

And now, although he could sense the extreme danger of Guan Huaigu’s spear thrust, his life was not in immediate peril.

He was already holding the talisman in his hand, ready to trigger it at any moment.

But at this moment, Qin Qing wanted to feel firsthand just how terrifying Guan Huaigu’s spear thrust really was!

"Bring it on!"

The Azure Dragon Spear floated out of Qin Qing’s hand. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Roar!"

With the sound of a roar, the Azure Dragon Spear, like a true enraged dragon, clashed head-on with Guan Huaigu’s long spear.

"Boom!"

The two spears collided violently.

Guan Huaigu’s Power of thunder and lightning and Qin Qing’s Flame Power struck each other in an instant.

"Crackle! Snap! Snap!"

"Crack!"

Lightning flashed, and flames burst.

In that moment, thunder blades and flashes of fire interwove, creating an incredibly dazzling and shocking display of colors.

But the next moment, the flames were devoured and destroyed by the lightning.

The power formed an overwhelming crush.

"Boom!"

A terrifying force struck Qin Qing’s body in an instant.

Qin Qing was like a target in a furious torrent, with an unstoppable force brutally striking his body and sending him flying.

But as Qin Qing was flung backward, suddenly a force from behind took hold of him, instantly absorbing the impact on his body.

Then, a figure appeared, hair white as frost, eyes sharp as swords.

"Bai Qiuhe!?"

Guan Huaigu stared intently at the newcomer.

"Master!"

Qin Qing also turned to look at his master, Bai Qiuhe.

"Hmm," Bai Qiuhe nodded slightly, and asked, "How are you? You took a hit from a Golden Core Late Stage!"

To tell the truth, Bai Qiuhe was quite shocked. He had predicted that Qin Qing could withstand a strike from Guan Huaigu, but he hadn’t expected Qin Qing to bear it so completely without sustaining serious injuries.

"Disciple is alright!" answered Qin Qing.

At this moment, his condition was not too bad; the Qi-Blood in his body was somewhat disrupted, and there were some injuries between his flesh and periosteum, but his internal organs were largely unharmed.

The main reason he could confront a Golden Core Late Stage Martial Dao Master head-on without terrible injuries was primarily due to the strength of his physical body.

After the Body Refining with the essence blood of the Ice Flood Dragon, coupled with the awakening of the Dragon Blood Physique by the Dragon Origin Grass, in terms of sheer physical might, Qin Qing’s body was even more formidable than that of a true person in the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, the power that a Golden Core Realm Martial Dao Master could unleash when stimulating the Golden Core was naturally far beyond what Qin Qing could compare to.

Furthermore, if Guan Huaigu launched consecutive attacks, the disrupted Qi-Blood within Qin Qing’s body and his strong body’s defenses would collapse, inevitably leading to a catastrophic breakdown.

The destructive power of one blow compared to two or three blows was not simply additive but increased exponentially, even more terrifying than a multiple-fold rise.

"Hmm," getting Qin Qing’s reply, Bai Qiuhe nodded again, then his gaze swept toward Guan Huaigu, and he said coldly, "Guan Huaigu, it’s been a long time. You truly have become more accomplished, even learning to bully your juniors now!"

Guan Huaigu watched Bai Qiuhe with cold eyes. As soon as Bai Qiuhe appeared, he knew he had no chance of killing Qin Qing.

Although both were at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm, the gap in strength between him and Bai Qiuhe was not even on the same level.

Bai Qiuhe was approaching Perfection in the Golden Core Late Stage and was also a fearsome sword cultivator. His combat prowess was virtually unmatched beneath the Nascent Soul Realm.

As for Guan Huaigu, he was merely at the Eighth Level of the Golden Core Realm, not even having stepped into the Ninth Level, and as for strength, it could only be considered average.

One Bai Qiuhe could simultaneously battle three Guan Huaigus and still have room to spare.

Of course, the Guan Family had an even more formidable ancestor, but even the most powerful ancestor had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Therefore, Guan Huaigu had no other reliance when facing Bai Qiuhe; he could only choose to give up.

But he was still very resentful in his heart.

"Qin Qing! You killed my children; this grudge, I, Guan Huaigu, will engrave in my heart. If one day, I have the opportunity to kill you, I, Guan Huaigu, will certainly not hold back in the slightest!"

Guan Huaigu almost seemed to grind his teeth as he said these words.

Having said that, he turned to leave.

Staying here was pointless.

"Stop right there!"

But just then, a cold voice came from behind.

Guan Huaigu’s step halted, he turned around somewhat puzzled, looking back at Hongxue.

"Miss Hongxue?" Guan Huaigu looked at Hongxue in confusion.

"Guan Family Head!" Hongxue called out with a smile that was not quite a smile, "In my Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, does your Guan Clan think you can simply attack and kill at will? It seems like you don’t put my Spiritual Treasure Pavilion in your eyes at all?"

Guan Huaigu was taken aback, surprise flashing in his eyes, involuntarily taking another glance at Qin Qing.

Now that Hongxue had stepped forward, directly invoking the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, it was evident she meant to side with Qin Qing.

Originally, he thought that between the Guan Family and Qin Qing, the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion would choose the Guan Family, or at least remain indifferent. But now it seemed that was not the case?

Or perhaps, did the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion only want to show a gesture?

"My apologies!" Guan Huaigu gave a fist and palm salute: "This matter was an oversight from my Guan Clan. I represent the Guan Clan in apologizing to Miss Hongxue and the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. Another day, I will select a suitable gift and come to apologize in person!"

Guan Huaigu believed he had made the gesture that was expected of him, and thus the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion should let the matter rest.

However, Liu Hongxue let out a cold snort and said, "From today on, my Spiritual Treasure Pavilion will sever all ties with the Guan Clan. No one from the Guan Clan is allowed to set foot in my Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. Any forces associated with the Guan Clan in business will also have all their dealings with the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion terminated!"

"What?"

As soon as Liu Hongxue made her declaration, everyone was shocked!
