The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 172: A Prodigy? Nothing more than that! (6k)

call out!
The next moment, Li Hanshan, carrying a black halberd on his back, also rushed out of the city. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon, the surprise was replaced by a cold look, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.

The city lord Hu Xuantang was also stunned. Feeling the terrifying murderous aura from both sides, he couldn't help but shudder. Without saying a word, he hurried into the city and told everyone to retreat immediately.

A battle at the Nascent Soul stage could easily destroy an entire city.

At this moment, Li Hanshan's terrifying spiritual sense quickly spread outward, and then he looked at Zhou Qing unexpectedly, with a bit of doubt in his eyes: "Are there only three of you?"

Zhou Qing, however, remained calm. He stomped his foot lightly, and the soil beneath his feet instantly tumbled up. He then looked at him levelly and said, "Are you the only two?"

After hearing this, Li Hanshan was immediately amused and asked, "Have you always been so brave?"

"Why waste your time talking to him? Since he's come to me on his own initiative this time, I'm going to make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

Yu Ziqi's eyes were red, and he wished he could eat Zhou Qing alive.

As he spoke, he took off the sword case behind him and slammed it hard, and dazzling rays of light shot up into the sky.

"Sword rises!"

Nine swords, including the green snake sword, whizzed out in an instant, intertwining and weaving through each other in the air, forming an extremely gorgeous sword net in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the sky and the earth changed color.

"Hurry up and leave!" Yan Xiaohu stuffed a healing pill into Feng Cheng's hand and urged him to leave.

Feng Cheng wanted to say something, but Yan Xiaohu kicked him away.

He is always procrastinating and doesn't know the time.

Afterwards, Yan Xiaohu did not delay any longer, and his Nascent Soul amplification began, and his cultivation suddenly increased to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

With spiritual power surging all over his body and a big knife in hand, he stood majestically beside Zhou Qing, staring at Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan vigilantly, and then prepared for battle.

On Lu Yaoyao's side, layers of crystal clear ice crystals quietly spread out under her feet, and continued to spread and accumulate.

Behind him, an ice lotus slowly appeared, emitting a cool light.

Zhou Qingze looked at the other party expressionlessly, his face calm as water. With a wave of his hand, several battle flags were set up in front of them.

"Enter the formation!" Zhou Qing said. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu did not hesitate at all. They flashed and entered the formation.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing looked at Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan opposite him, a faint smile appeared on his face, he made a gesture of invitation, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the formation.

Looking at this slightly provocative scene, Li Hanshan frowned slightly.

"What's so scary about just three people in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?" Yu Ziqi snorted coldly, carrying the sword box on his back, and rushed in.

Li Hanshan was not as impulsive as Yu Ziqi. He just looked at the formation in front of him vigilantly, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After all, Meng Xing, Song Yuan and Sima Yaoji all died at the hands of Zhou Qing. Perhaps they underestimated the enemy at the time and ended up dying.

Since it can be solved easily, why should I join your camp and make a simple matter so complicated?
Thinking of this, Li Hanshan snorted coldly, and the black halberd in his hand flashed.

As he lightly lifted his foot, his whole body suddenly exploded, as if enveloped by a layer of black fighting spirit, thick and heavy, exuding a terrifying deterrent force.

The ground beneath his feet also cracked, and endless dark gas gushed out from it, like a surging sea of ​​corpses.

Wherever the tip of the halberd pointed, ripples appeared in the space, as if it was easily torn apart by its sharp edge.

This is the state of mind of "destruction" that he comprehended after observing the endless battlefield. Although it is only in its infancy, it has great power.

It can make people feel as if they are deep in the tragic battlefield, and their fighting spirit will surge instantly, igniting a raging fighting spirit. On the other hand, the enemy will involuntarily face the fear of the battlefield and feel the threat of death.

"Second brother, let's compete. Who kills the enemy first, you or I who breaks the formation first?"

Then, Li Hanshan roared, holding a halberd, and rushed towards the formation in front of him like lightning.

The tip of the halberd cut through the sky, bringing up a blood-red light. In that light, there seemed to be the faint sound of thousands of troops fighting, and they charged forward with the majestic momentum of charging into battle.

As he thrust with all his might, the halberd seemed to transform into a roaring angry dragon and rushed directly towards the formation.

hum-

When the tip of the halberd collided with the array pattern, sparks flew and the entire array vibrated violently. For a moment, the light flashed wildly and bursts of dull noises were emitted.

"Interesting!" Seeing that the formation hadn't been pierced by his halberd, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Hanshan's eyes. He then gathered his strength again and thrust his halberd towards the formation a second time...

Inside the formation, Zhou Qing looked at Yu Ziqi who broke in alone, and was a little surprised, but soon turned into ecstasy.

To be honest, these two people are half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm. Third Senior Brother and Lu Yaoyao can only barely fight against a late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at best.

He had originally thought that if all else failed, he would simply use the jade token left to him by the silver-haired woman. But now, the two of them have separated on their own.

Feeling the waves of attacks coming from outside, Zhou Qing snorted coldly and immediately placed his third senior brother and Lu Yaoyao into the outermost layer.

In fact, this time there are three formations superimposed on each other. The outermost layer is the "Buddha Formation", which is the strongest. The second layer is the "Eighteen-Magnitude Earthquake". Now the innermost one is the "Thunder and Flame Soul-Devouring Formation".

"Don't go out, try to interrupt his attack!" Zhou Qing sent a message to the two of them.

The two men understood what he meant and immediately aimed at Li Hanshan, who was preparing to launch the second halberd, and attacked immediately.

Li Hanshan suddenly sensed danger and retreated violently. He saw a sharp blade light wrapped in a trace of icy power, bursting out like a streak of silk.

At this moment, his face became solemn. This would be troublesome!
At the same time, looking at the world surrounded by thunderclouds and flames, Yu Ziqi stood proudly, snorted coldly, his eyes like cold stars, staring at Zhou Qing in the air.

"The formation is good, but there are some things that cannot be compensated even with external objects. You killed my enchantress, and this hatred is irreconcilable. Die!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and roared, and nine dazzling rays of light from the sword case shot up into the sky, like nine evil dragons choosing their prey, forming a sword net again, and rushing towards Zhou Qing.

"Good swords!" Looking at the nine swords of different colors emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations, Zhou Qing praised and then took out the Tetanus in his hand.

"Execute him!" Zhou Qing shouted.

In an instant, the spiritual energy around his body surged wildly, turning into strands of azure lightning, wrapping around his body.

Then it transformed into an angry thunder dragon and roared towards Yu Ziqi's sword net.

Boom boom boom!
A terrifying explosion occurred immediately, and Yu Ziqi's face changed. The light of many runes on the sword net suddenly became dim.

"Aren't you in the early Nascent Soul stage?" Yu Ziqi asked in surprise.

Zhou Qing's hair and pupils turned into a dark blue at this moment, and a huge lion roared out from behind him.

It is majestic, as if awakened from ancient times, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"When did I ever say that I was in the early stage of Yuanying?"

Zhou Qing said coldly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the Suanni rushed out, and the original "Thunder Flame Soul-Devouring Formation" started to operate rapidly, and then a huge vortex formed in the air.

In the center of the vortex, lightning pillars as thick as buckets came down with a loud bang, like a divine punishment to destroy the world. Countless meteorites, with long tails of fire, roared and smashed towards Yu Ziqi.

"Even if you hide your cultivation, what can you do? I have killed countless people like you who are in the late Nascent Soul stage. Today, I will let you see the artistic conception of the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

Yu Ziqi quickly formed seals with his hands. In just a moment, the space around him seemed to shatter, and countless illusory swords poured out from the cracks, densely packed and suspended in the air.

Each sword flashed with an icy light, and there was a faint silk thread connected to the hilt, leading to the sword box behind him, like a puppet controlled by him.

Zhou Qing's eyes were a little vague, and all he saw were deadly sword shadows, as if he was trapped in an unsolvable dream.

Even the power of the "Thunderstorm Star Kill" that he had originally controlled was greatly reduced, and even almost dissipated, but soon, the powerful mental power broke through this illusion, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Is this the artistic conception of the Spirit Transformation Realm? It is just a prototype, but it has such powerful power. No wonder Yu Ziqi is so confident.

"This artistic conception is called Thousand Illusions!" Yu Ziqi looked proud and immediately controlled the sea of ​​swords to attack.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly, but had no intention of retreating. He once again increased the output of spiritual power. For a moment, sword shadows, lightning, and flames were constantly intertwined, and every confrontation seemed like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth.

The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand such violent force, and ripples appeared and the space was distorted.

As time passed, Yu Ziqi became more and more frightened. He had to admit that he had underestimated Zhou Qing's strength.

He originally thought that with his own methods, dealing with Zhou Qing would be a piece of cake, but he didn't expect that this kid would be so tricky and the strength he unleashed was far beyond his imagination.

Zhou Qing was also filled with awe. Although this was the first time the two had faced off, he could clearly feel that Yu Ziqi was much stronger than Sima Yaoji before.

But so what? Don't forget, he is not a vegetarian either.

But he couldn't waste time fighting him here any longer. He had to find a way to end the battle quickly. After all, he could vaguely feel that the outermost "Buddha Formation" might not last long.

Since Li Hanshan will not join the formation, after dealing with Yu Ziqi, he will have to fight head-on.

"Array Kai!"

Zhou Qing shouted suddenly, and immediately the thunderclouds and flames in the whole world seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible giant hand.

Even the space where the formation was located began to vibrate violently at a high frequency visible to the naked eye, making a buzzing sound, like the angry roar of an ancient giant beast.

Caught off guard, Yu Ziqi felt an overwhelming force pressing in from all directions. His body instantly lost balance and he swayed in the air, unable to keep his balance.

The scene in front of me was changing rapidly with the violent vibration. Sometimes the sky was spinning and the earth was spun, and sometimes the whole space seemed to be distorted.

Even with his mental strength, he felt nauseous and uncomfortable at this moment.

The artistic conception, which was originally still in a half-baked state, was instantly dissipated by this terrifying shock.

At that moment, he felt as if he were a small boat in the midst of a raging sea, at risk of being crushed by this terrifying force at any moment.

Yu Ziqi couldn't help but curse loudly, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment. Without saying a word, he hurriedly forced his spiritual power to circulate, trying his best to stabilize his body, and at the same time controlled the nine flying swords, trying to resist the violent shock force from the air.

But the vibration was too strong, the sword's speed dropped sharply, and the originally sharp sword force became chaotic, unable to exert its due power.

The next moment, Yu Ziqi suddenly felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and he subconsciously turned around to block it.

puff-

However, he was still a step too late. Zhou Qing, holding a broken sword, appeared behind him like a ghost.

It suddenly slashed across his waist, creating a large cut, and large amounts of blood spurted out like a fountain.

After succeeding, Zhou Qing's feet flashed with silver light, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in an instant.

Yu Ziqi was both shocked and angry. After all, as Elder Xuegu said, Zhou Qing, the treacherous villain, was best at using poison, especially the broken sword. He didn't know what kind of poison was on it.

Sure enough, no matter how he mobilized his spiritual power to heal the wound, it was of no use.

The blood from his waist continued to flow out uncontrollably and could not be stopped.

"You villain, ugh~" Yu Ziqi cursed angrily, but just after he finished cursing, the vibration in the formation made his stomach churn.

He hurriedly took out a large number of detoxification pills from his storage bag and swallowed them all in one gulp.

clang!
Just when he came to his senses a little, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power wave coming from the right.

He quickly blocked it with his sword, and sparks flew everywhere.

Zhou Qing came again like a ghost, with just the right speed and timing, making it impossible to defend against him.

But before Yu Ziqi could even curse out loud, the broken sword in Zhou Qing's hand slid down and slashed at his left waist again. His movements were smooth and seamless.

"Symmetry is good!"

Zhou Qing raised a smile and teased, then flashed away from Yu Ziqi again and disappeared in the smoke and light.

"Fuck you!" Yu Ziqi was so angry that he was fuming. His face turned red and his eyes were full of anger. He wished he could tear Zhou Qing into pieces immediately.

Without saying a word, he suddenly pointed at his own eyebrows, and the next moment, his whole body seemed to split apart, and layers of shadows appeared around his body.

The shadows gradually became clearer, and even connected flesh granulations appeared between them, which looked quite strange.

Soon, a Yu Ziqi who looked exactly like him appeared, with almost no difference in appearance or aura.

This is the enhancement of his Nascent Soul, and the cultivation level of the clone will decrease, but it can save his life at the critical moment.

Sure enough, at this moment the original body was injured, covered in blood, and looked miserable, while the newly appeared clone was intact and in good condition.

"I kill you!"

The two men looked at each other, then surrounded Zhou Qing from both sides and attacked him directly.

When Zhou Qing saw this situation, he was a little surprised, but he was not afraid at all.

Soon, a giant three-legged golden crow slowly emerged from behind him, its entire body emitting an incomparably hot golden flame. It roared to the sky and charged directly towards the two with a terrifying aura...

"Break it for me!"

Li Hanshan, who had been attacking the formation from the outside but was repeatedly interrupted by powerful attacks from inside, now lost his patience.

Finally, seeing an opportunity, Li Hanshan shouted loudly and swung the black halberd in his hand forward.

The tip of the halberd cut through the sky, carrying with it a majestic momentum of breaking through the enemy camp and advancing forward, and suddenly stabbed towards the golden pagoda formation.

As the tip of the halberd pierced the array pattern, the array pattern suddenly vibrated violently, and the light began to flash wildly, as if making its last struggle.

"Crack!"

With a slight sound, as if the ice layer broke, cracks began to appear in the array pattern, the light dimmed, and the runes dissipated.

As countless people in the distance nervously watched, a deafening roar was heard, and the "Buddha Formation" finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

The aftermath of the violent spiritual power spread wildly in all directions like a surging tide. Wherever it passed, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the rocks were instantly crushed into powder.

Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao, who were in the formation, were caught off guard and were hit by the powerful aftermath of spiritual power.

He suddenly groaned, spit out blood from his mouth, and flew backwards uncontrollably, falling heavily to the ground.

Li Hanshan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. With a slight flick of his wrist, the black halberd turned lightly in the air, with the tip of the halberd pointing downwards. Then he looked coldly at the dusty formation.

Feng Cheng, who was far away, saw this scene and his face suddenly changed. He was so anxious that he rushed over to help without saying a word, but as soon as he took a step, Hu Xuantang quickly reached out to stop him.

"My dear Brother Feng, please don't be impulsive. This is a situation where there is no chance of winning. The opponent is a genius from the Cang Yan Dao Palace, half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm."

"If you charge forward now, you'll be sending yourself to death. It won't accomplish anything at all. It's better to escape while there's still some time!"

Hu Xuantang persuaded anxiously.

Feng Cheng, who was already injured, shook his head repeatedly with a look of determination. He handed his storage bag to Hu Xuantang and said, "They fell into this situation because they saved me. No matter how useless I am, I am still a member of the Taiqing Sect. Take care!"

After Feng Cheng finished speaking, he was about to rush forward, even if it meant self-destructing his golden elixir, to give Zhou Qing and the others a chance to escape.

"Wait, look—"

Hu Xuantang glanced over there inadvertently, and suddenly seemed to have seen something incredible, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Feng Cheng paused, turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly his eyes widened.

Outside the city, Yan Xiaohu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the pain in his body, and hurriedly helped Lu Yaoyao up and stood behind him.

He stared vigilantly at Li Hanshan in front of him, ready to respond to attacks at any time.

Li Hanshan, holding a black halberd, was about to step forward to finish off the two men, but at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

I saw the flags flying in the air, and then the remaining restrictions hidden behind were automatically broken at this moment. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Zhou Qing's figure slowly emerged from it.

Although he was a little tired and covered with scars at this moment, he stood tall and walked out step by step, dragging Yu Ziqi, who looked like a dead dog, in his hand.

Yu Ziqi had lost his previous arrogance at this moment. He hung his head and blood was still flowing out of the wound between his waist. He looked extremely miserable.

Zhou Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pulling out a slightly mocking smile. He looked straight at Li Hanshan, and with a hint of teasing in his tone, he said loudly: "Prodigy? Nothing more than that!"

As the words fell, his originally weak aura seemed to be replenished at this moment and returned to its peak state again.

"Fourth!"

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

When the two saw this, they were shocked, then turned into ecstasy and hurried over.

I can't believe it. It's only been a short time and Yu Ziqi has been beaten like this by Zhou Qing?

It’s so cool!

Li Hanshan looked at Zhou Qing with his eyes slightly narrowed. He knew that this person should not be underestimated.

"Senior Brother Zhou!" Lu Yaoyao, who came to his side, immediately stuffed the golden talisman into Zhou Qing's hand.

It was useless last time when I scared the Blood and Bone Old Ghost so much, but maybe it can come in handy this time.

Zhou Qing understood what he meant, and this way, he had a better grasp of the situation.

"It seems that everyone underestimated you!"

Li Hanshan's expression remained calm, but the hand holding the halberd tightened again. Then he pointed it straight at Zhou Qing, with a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"I won't give you any more time to grow!" Li Hanshan said again.

The other party is growing too fast, we have to keep him here today no matter what.

Faced with the threat, Zhou Qing simply smiled, pointing the broken sword in his hand at Li Hanshan without showing any weakness, and said, "I say the same to you."

But at this moment, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, and saw a figure in a red robe standing there with his hands behind his back, staring at him with cold eyes, revealing a terrifying deterrent.

Feeling this terrifying pressure, a jade token instantly appeared in Zhou Qing's hand, ready to be activated at any time.

Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao's faces immediately turned pale as paper, and they hurriedly moved closer to Zhou Qing.

"Palace Master!" Li Hanshan, who also sensed this powerful aura, suddenly looked delighted.

Sikong Yan just raised his foot lightly and instantly appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the other two. His speed was so fast that no one had time to react.

The three of them immediately took a step back.

Sikong Yan looked at the already dead Yu Ziqi expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and then he slowly turned his gaze towards Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

"This is the first time we meet!"

Sikong Yan spoke slowly, his voice low and cold, making people feel cold all over.
