"Boom!"

The two collided in an instant, fists and feet clashing, unleashing a muffled roar!

Zhou Qing sidestepped to avoid Nangu Lu’s straight punch, countering with an elbow strike towards his head.

"Bang!"

Nangu Lu raised his arm to block, simultaneously driving his knee up fiercely, targeting Zhou Qing’s abdomen!

Zhou Qing’s figure flickered, leaving only a fleeting afterimage in place.

Nangu Lu’s knee strike missed, but he suddenly changed moves with a sweeping leg kick!

"Snap!"

The air exploded, emitting a piercing shriek!

Instead of retreating, Zhou Qing advanced, thrusting the Tetanus Broken Sword straight at Nangu Lu’s throat!

"Clang!"

Incredibly, Nangu Lu used his elbow to block the Broken Sword, producing the sound of clashing metal!

"Looks frail and weak, turns out you’re a Body Refiner too?" Zhou Qing sneered.

"Now you know, too late!" Nangu Lu grimaced, his fists unleashed like a torrential downpour!

"Bang bang bang!"

Punch shadows filled the sky, each strike carrying terrifying force, causing the ground to crack from the shockwaves!

Zhou Qing blocked with the Broken Sword, continuously retreating. It must be said, the Power of Body Cultivation this guy practiced was much trickier than that of Jieyun Thief Big Leader Tu Qian Yue.

"Bang!"

A heavy punch from Nangu Lu smashed into Zhou Qing’s chest, the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible!

"Cough!"

Zhou Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, the intense pain from his fractured ribs causing him to pause.

"Is this all you’ve got?"

Nangu Lu sneered, his offensive relentless, another sweeping leg kick!

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing blocked with his left arm, the arm bone snapping on cue!

"Hahaha!" Nangu Lu laughed wildly, "Your bones don’t seem as hard as your mouth!"

Then, in the next moment, the fractured bones in Zhou Qing’s body suddenly glowed golden, the broken shards healing at a pace visible to the naked eye!

This heaven-defying recovery rate made Nangu Lu’s pupils shrink abruptly.

"Surprised?"

Zhou Qing sneered, his fractured left arm suddenly clenched into a fist, smashing towards Nangu Lu’s face!

"Bang!"

Nangu Lu was knocked back several steps by the punch, his nose bridge caving in, blood flowing freely!

"Let’s stop these low-level tests, fighting like mortals. After all, I’m quite busy too!"

Zhou Qing shook his wrist, his gaze icy beneath the mask.

"As you wish!"

Nangu Lu erupted in fury, suddenly retreating ten yards, his right hand thrusting into his own back—

"Crack!"

A horrifying sound of bone cracking rang out, he forcibly pulled out his own spine!

The spine was pitch black throughout, with distinct joints, each wrapped in ghostly green flames.

Upon emergence, it emitted a haunting wail, as if thousands of souls were crying in agony!

"Nine-Sections Soul-Extinguishing Whip—Manifest!"

Nangu Lu sneered, wielding the bone whip, the whip body twisted like a living creature, leaving black marks of corrosion in its wake!

"Using your own spine to nourish a wicked weapon?" Zhou Qing frowned, "You’re quite ruthless."

"There’s much in this world you haven’t seen!" Nangu Lu laughed maniacally, lashing out with the whip!

"Snap!"

The whip shadow was like lightning, Zhou Qing couldn’t dodge in time, his left arm grazed, immediately splitting open!

Even worse, ghostly green flames burned at the wound, the flesh rotting visibly!

"Under the Soul-Extinguishing Whip, flesh dissolves, Divine Soul obliterated!" Nangu Lu laughed, "Let’s see how you recover!"

However—

Golden light surged from Zhou Qing’s wound, accompanied by chanting sounds, forcibly driving out the ghostly flames!

As the flesh squirmed, the injury instantly healed again!

"What?!" Nangu Lu’s smile completely froze, "Impossible, what kind of Divine Techniques are you cultivating?"

"Your fire isn’t strong enough," Zhou Qing hadn’t expected Jiyuan Temple’s "Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone" to be so potent.

At this moment, with a sneer, the Tetanus aimed at Nangu Lu’s skull...
