"Strange..." Nangong Yue frowned as he looked behind him, "I clearly sensed someone around just now, how did they disappear?"

But he soon relieved himself, perhaps it was some kind of demon beast.

After all, this is the wilderness of ancient beasts, where the least lacking are all kinds of fierce beasts.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly sensed the vibration of the earth veins again.

The vibration was extremely faint, like... like someone deliberately lightened their steps.

"Not good!"

Nangong Yue suddenly opened his eyes, and the mountain light curtain behind him instantly solidified.

However, it was too late—

"Psst!"

A rusty broken sword had already pierced through his back!

"Argh!"

Nangong Yue spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking down in disbelief at the sword tip protruding from his chest.

"Mountain... Suppression!"

He endured the severe pain, forming seals with both hands.

The mountains in the light curtain behind him rumbled and vibrated, a terrifying suppressive force pressed behind him.

Yet, the expected sound of something heavy hitting the ground did not occur.

Nangong Yue turned around in horror, only to see a golden figure at the moment the suppressive force was about to strike, suddenly disintegrating into countless thunder lights!

Meanwhile, after Zhou Qing finished hunting those two people earlier, he had already donned his unique chicken head mask.

You sought me, now I am as you wished.

"It’s you!" At this moment, upon finally seeing the mask on Zhou Qing’s face, Nangong Yue was utterly appalled.

Before the words were even finished, Zhou Qing’s real form was above him, left hand with Golden Crow Flame, right hand with Tetanus Broken Sword, both descending simultaneously!

"Boom!"

The dazzling Golden Crow True Flame collided fiercely with the Mountain Peak Intent Realm, bursting into blinding brilliance, sweeping gas waves that shattered ancient trees within dozens of yards!

Nangong Yue crossed his arms, the earth-yellow spiritual light around him surged violently, stubbornly resisting the burning of Golden Crow True Flame.

But the sleeves on his arms had already turned to flying ash, and his skin was burned to char.

He gritted his teeth and growled, his spiritual power within him frantically circulating, trying to stabilize the collapsing Mountain Peak Intent Realm.

However—

"Emperor’s Might!"

Golden light surged in Zhou Qing’s eyes, an unparalleled might descended abruptly, as if the sky was crushing down, all spirits bowed!

Nangong Yue’s heart trembled violently, his heart and spirit involuntarily wavered, the originally solid mountain light curtain shattered inch by inch like glass!

"Pft!"

He spat out blood, staggered back several steps, eyes filled with terror.

"I knew Mr. Ji was strong... but didn’t expect this strong!"

His heart was shocked, yet as a cultivator at Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection, his combat experience was extremely rich, he immediately suppressed his injuries, clapped his hands on the ground loudly!

"Mountain Suppression Prison!"

"Boom!"

The earth trembled, countless boulders broke through the soil, transforming into small mountains, pressing towards Zhou Qing!

At the same time, his figure retreated violently, trying to create distance while taking out a crimson elixir from the storage bag, swallowing it without hesitation!

"Blood Burning Pill?!"

Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow, his eyes colder.

The second senior sister had one such elixir, last time at Taichu Dojo, she nearly swallowed it but was snatched by the White Crane first.

At this moment, after Nangong Yue swallowed the elixir, his aura surged wildly, his skin displayed an abnormal crimson.

Obviously, at the cost of burning his essence blood, he exchanged for temporary strength enhancement!

"Today let me see, if your reputation holds true, capable of one against nine!"

He roared ferociously, forming seals with both hands, the earth-yellow spiritual light around him solidified into mountain-like armor.

Simultaneously, a massive stone pillar shot up from the ground, straight towards Zhou Qing!

"Your foundation is far stronger than those two!" Zhou Qing snorted coldly, his figure flickered, the Golden-winged Roc burst forth swiftly, instantly dodging the stone pillar thrust.

At the same time, he pinched a seal with his left hand, his palm flashing with thunder light!

Behind him suddenly appeared a huge Suanni phantom, roaring to the sky.

"Boom!"

Next, a thunderbolt as thick as a barrel descended from the sky, striking Nangong Yue fiercely!

"Ah—!"

Nangong Yue’s entire body trembled violently, mountain armor shattered inch by inch, blood oozed from his seven apertures, yet he gritted his teeth endured, clapped his hands on the ground again!

"Earth Vein Cage"

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Zhou Qing suddenly caved in, countless stone spikes from all directions aimed to trap and kill him!

Yet Zhou Qing was surrounded by surging golden flames, the fierce fire transformed into a ring, instantly burning the attacking stone spikes to ashes!

Simultaneously, his figure flickered, Tetanus Broken Sword stabbed straight at Nangong Yue’s throat!

"Ah—"

Blood splattered, Nangong Yue’s face turned pale, yet the fierceness in his eyes did not diminish, he ignored his injuries, grabbing Zhou Qing’s wrist holding the sword and snarled: "Caught you!"

"Mountain Explosion!"

The spiritual power within him compressed frantically, intending to self-detonate his primordial spirit and perish together with Zhou Qing!

Cold light flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes, his left hand pressed suddenly on Nangong Yue’s chest—

"Swish!"

A pair of blood-colored wings unfolded abruptly, enveloping Nangong Yue entirely!

A terrifying devouring force erupted, the frantically compressed spiritual power within him was drained like mud into the sea!

"No... impossible!"

Nangong Yue screamed in terror, but could only watch helplessly as his vitality, spiritual power, and even his life force, were voraciously devoured!

Within mere breaths, when the blood wings unfolded, another pea-sized crystal appeared in the hand.

"Need to hurry!"

Cold glint flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes, three Blood Phoenix Crystals floated, exuding eerie red light.

He operated the Yin Yang Skills without hesitation, and the crystals rapidly transformed into three blood lines, penetrating into his body.

"Boom!"

Torrential qi and blood exploded within his meridians, the originally exhausted spiritual power restored at astonishing speed.

Blood-colored patterns appeared on his skin surface, then vanished in a split second.

When Zhou Qing reopened his eyes, his pupils were tinged with faint gold-red.
