At this moment, Zhou Qing was about to reach the stronghold, and he felt a sense of relief. Returning to the area controlled by his own forces was indeed reassuring.
I feel somewhat at ease.
Suddenly, his senses began to pound wildly, and the "Former Word Secret" activated on its own. An extremely dangerous aura surged forth, making him feel a chilling killing intent.
He instinctively changed his rhythm suddenly, twisted his body, and took a step to the right.
"call out!"
A flash of sword light appeared, icy cold and sharp, its gleam illuminating the earth, its killing intent astonishing, fierce and ruthless!
A faint, ethereal figure suddenly appeared beside him, wielding a blood-dripping divine sword, its peerless sword light flashing as it pierced past him.
At this critical moment, thanks to Zhou Qing's preemptive change of direction, the sword passed by him without harming him in the slightest.
"The Assassin Dynasty!" Zhou Qing's face darkened.
Finally, some forces couldn't bear it any longer and didn't want him to continue living in this world.
He had anticipated this, especially those forces that had friction with the Zhou family or had past grudges. They might not take action themselves, but they would most likely contact the Assassin Dynasty. However, Zhou Qing did not expect that he would encounter an assassination attempt while still in the Central State, before even returning to the Eastern Wilderness.
After dodging the attack, Zhou Qing steadied himself and immediately made his move. As soon as he moved, the wind and clouds surged, and dozens of thick sword beams suddenly appeared, each as dazzling as the sun in the sky, and they bombarded him one after another.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Only then did the person in charge, who was not far away, react. He immediately became furious and roared.
"Fine! Very well! You dare to attack my Zhou family's prodigy in front of me? Do you think my Zhou family has no one to rely on?"
He roared, filled with extreme rage, his divine power surging, his entire body glowing, blazing like the sun, and he soared into the air, rushing rapidly towards the battlefield.
"boom!"
A barrier of light shoved him away, and his expression changed drastically. It was actually a powerful forbidden artifact, enveloping the surroundings and separating the battlefield from the outside world. Although he could break through it, it would take him some time, and this was a very urgent matter.
At this moment, the illusory figure materialized into a man dressed in a gray robe, shrouded in mist. However, under Zhou Qing's Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, the mist was useless, and his appearance was immediately revealed.
Faced with dozens of sword beams that seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world, he simply swung his blood-dripping divine sword, cleaving through the void with a single strike, instantly annihilating the dozens of sword beams.
"What!" Zhou Qing was shocked. He activated his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, and countless star fields vanished in an attempt to see through the gray-robed man's cultivation level.
"This is... a half-step Great Power!" Zhou Qing was shocked. How could they send someone with such cultivation?
Logically speaking, the people of the Assassin Dynasty are in charge of killing and use it to comprehend the Great Dao. Their main purpose in taking on assassination missions is to hone themselves, not to be much stronger than the targets they are assassinating. However, this is clearly not right; it is too strong.
The idea of proving one's Dao through killing is not just a saying. These people take killing as their core Dao. When a half-step Great Power level assassin makes a move, even some newly-breakthrough Great Powers can be assassinated. They are incredibly terrifying.
"brush"
The gray-robed man vanished into the void, his body almost disappearing. Having missed his attack, he didn't linger and decisively retreated. Even though his cultivation level was much higher than Zhou Qing's, he wouldn't choose to confront him head-on.
As it turned out, his decision was correct, because in the next second, Zhou Qing immediately took out a small golden sword, and with a sudden flick, the sword immediately magnified dozens of times, and a powerful sword intent surged out, which was extremely vast and unparalleled, as if it wanted to sever his soul and cleave his primordial spirit.
Zhou Qing stood in the void, calmly facing everything.
Who doesn't have forbidden artifacts? Besides forbidden artifacts, he also has all sorts of secret treasures. Even if he hadn't dodged that sword strike, it wouldn't have harmed him in the slightest.
Although he was not injured, he was in a bad mood. He raised his hand and threw out a powerful forbidden weapon, which he used to slash at the gray-robed man.
He said he can't escape!
Chapter 100 A Sword That Went Astray
The gray-robed man's figure was blurry, disappearing into the void as if he didn't exist. To the naked eye, it was just a normal scene, without any trace.
But no matter how miraculous this concealment technique is, it still requires the flow of divine power and the guidance of the Great Dao.
When Zhou Qing opened his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, the traces of this technique were clearly visible in his eyes.
The golden sword light he swung out rang out, cleaving through the clouds, traversing the heavens, and straddling the void and reality, directly slashing towards the gray-robed man's head!
"brush!"
At this critical moment, the gray-robed man used some secret technique, and his speed suddenly broke through the limit. He flew away in the void like a gray lightning bolt, tearing through the sky and escaping the powerful sword beam.
The golden sword light pierced through a phantom but did not strike the enemy. Even so, the sword intent, which could burn even divine power and primordial spirit, still had some effect on him, slowing him down.
Zhou Qing's expression was icy cold, and his chilling aura was so intense that it made people tremble.
"Qiang!"
The blood-dripping divine sword suddenly trembled, emitting a crimson divine light, breaking free from the gray-robed man's control, and turning against its master.
A streak of blood flashed across the sky, swift as lightning and thin as a silkworm's thread, instantly plunging the enemy into immense danger.
The gray-robed man let out a muffled groan. He had reacted quickly, but the attack was too sudden, and he still lost an arm, blood gushing out.
The "Soldier's Technique" was launched too suddenly, without any warning. He was caught off guard and immediately suffered a great loss.
However, his realm was far superior to Zhou Qing's. When he channeled his divine power back into the blood sword and tried his best to control it, Zhou Qing found it difficult to wield the weapon. After a brief stalemate, the gray-robed man regained control.
This move directly affected the gray-robed man's escape, but Zhou Qing did not pursue him.
He stood there coldly, his aura growing heavier and more majestic, as if he had become the master of this world, the king who controlled the fate of all living beings.
The gray-robed man stopped fleeing, seemingly believing that there was no point in continuing his escape.
The assassin fled not to escape, but to find another opportunity to kill his enemy, but Zhou Qing's gaze remained fixed on him, clearly indicating that he had lost his chance to hide again.
But more importantly, at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the principle of an assassin avoiding the enemy's strength, and actually wanted to kill Zhou Qing head-on, and this idea was gaining more and more traction in his mind.
This is not impossible. First of all, his realm is nine minor realms higher than Zhou Qing's. What does this mean? It means that even if Zhou Qing has the Eight Forbidden Techniques, no matter how strong his secret technique is, the power he unleashes will be one minor realm lower than his.
The legend of the Eight Forbidden Zones contains many secrets, encompassing various physical constitutions, and has a profound impact.
No matter what your physique is, whether you use holy or imperial techniques, or what amplification secrets you have, all of these are useless under this restriction and will be confined to this area.
Suddenly, three streaks of cold light appeared out of thin air, unleashing an overwhelming killing intent.
!
Three more half-step Great Powers appeared, and instantly, a terrifying killing intent swept across the land. A fierce wind howled, withering the grass and turning the leaves yellow, as if all things had reached the end of their lives.
Originally, they never thought that a half-step Great Power could assassinate Zhou Qing, since everyone knew that Zhou Qing must have a life-saving treasure on him.
The gray-robed man was merely bait. In their plan, when the gray-robed man stabbed Zhou Qing, consuming his life-saving treasure and then his forbidden artifact, and finally being caught and killed by the leader of the stronghold after breaking through the light barrier, that would be the moment when Zhou Qing would be most relaxed.
However, the first step of the plan went wrong. Even if the half-step great power of the Assassin God Dynasty was ordinary, its combat power in direct combat with killing techniques could dominate the same realm. Moreover, the combination of its breath concealment divine technique and assassination divine technique made even ordinary great power feel terrified.
As it turned out, Zhou Qing dodged the attack as if he had anticipated it, and did not trigger any protective treasures at all.
Even so, they shouldn't have gone out together as a trio at this time. It wasn't the best tactic or the best timing, but they did it anyway.
As expected, Zhou Qing remained indifferent, as if he had foreseen the attack a moment in advance, and once again dodged the assassination attempt by the slightest margin.
All spirits transform into the Dao!
Zhou Qing didn't make a sound or move his hands; he just stood there coldly in the void, but he still managed to unleash this move.
His will is the will of this world. When he desires all spirits to transform into the Dao, the Great Dao of this world naturally surges and conforms to his will.
One after another, gates appeared between heaven and earth, the specific details of each gate were blurred, so blurred that people almost mistook these gates for walls.
"boom"
In that instant, the essence of heaven and earth surged, the Great Dao trembled, the tides surged, and countless waves crashed down, as if an ocean were pouring down from the sky and rising from the gates, with endless divine light bombarding everything in its path.
The four assassins, all at the half-step Great Power level, changed their expressions drastically. This attack made them feel a bit of pressure.
This power is already very close to the level of a half-step great power, and it comes all at once, covering a wide area. If they cannot protect their entire bodies, they will still be seriously injured.
After all, even a half-step great power doesn't mean that they don't need to defend against such an attack. If they really let such an attack hit them, they would still be finished!
Moreover, this was not a one-off attack. These four assassins were indeed very strong, all of them being half-step Great Powers. With each roar, they easily cleaved open sections of the Divine Sea. In terms of power, they were not afraid of this kind of attack at all.
But what's terrifying is that just a second after he cleaved open a path, another sea of divine power descended in an instant, endlessly. It was as if Zhou Qing didn't care about money at all, constantly urging his divine power.
"boom"
The four assassins attacked simultaneously, each exhaling a breath of innate essence, which combined with their divine swords. The swords in their hands trembled together, and blood light shook the heavens!
“Zheng”, “Zheng”, “Zheng”, “Zheng”
Four long rainbows pierced the heavens and the earth, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared, stunning the world.
The Vermilion Bird soared through the sky, the True Dragon roared, the White Tiger howled to the heavens, and the Black Tortoise rose and fell. The four immortal spirits took form and emerged. With a thunderous roar, the four swords merged into one, their power increasing dramatically. The heavens and earth trembled. This move directly broke through to the power of a great being, and not just the first small step.
The saying "each realm is a different world" is not just a saying. Crossing a realm is called defying the immortals, and there is indeed some truth to that, just like right now.
As soon as the sword was drawn, countless portals shattered with a crash, and the divine sea evaporated, returning to the world. It seemed that Zhou Qing's attempt to waste divine power to buy time had failed.
When the difference in skill level was not significant, it did cause them some trouble. However, now that they had combined their attacks using secret techniques, this sword strike had reached a point where Zhou Qing could not withstand it with his own cultivation.
The sword flashed through the air at lightning speed, but Zhou Qing remained motionless. In the eyes of the four, it seemed as if Zhou Qing had not reacted at all.
However, a shocking scene unfolded: this sword strike, this incredibly amazing sword strike, actually missed!
Chapter 101 Chaotic Ancient Sacred Technique
The leader of the outpost looked at the battlefield not far away, his heart filled with anxiety. He formed the Yang Seal and repeatedly struck the light screen in front of him.
He pushed his divine power to its limit, his blood and qi surged, and a dragon-shaped pillar of energy shot out from his head.
A dazzling golden halo surrounded him, extremely bright and intense, as if a god or demon had descended, causing the light screen to vibrate continuously.
Teams of armored cultivators also realized what was happening. These were the elites of the Divine Continent Dynasty, each of them above the Four Extremes level, and even the squad leaders were at the Dragon Transformation level.
They formed battle formations, their iron armor gleaming coldly, exuding a murderous aura, and terrifying power erupted from each formation.
Although combined attack formations are considered one of the more difficult aspects of formations, all major forces have some similar formations to varying degrees.
For example, the Five Elements and the Four Symbols. Although it is difficult to create a formation that allows more people to participate, it is not very difficult for a great emperor. The ancestors of the Divine Continent Dynasty passed down many high-level formations during their lifetime.
At this moment, auras burst forth, each possessing the combat power level of a celestial being, and simultaneously thrust their spears towards the light barrier.
"click"
Under the frenzied attack of a powerful being and the combined assault of several Immortal-level warriors, the soldiers' attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the light barrier shattered with a deafening roar.
The leader of the outpost experienced extreme mood swings, from initial fury to relief, then sudden horror, then relief again, and then extreme anxiety.
He watched with his own eyes as the countless portals Zhou Qing had created shattered one after another. Those four shameless half-step great powers ganged up on a junior who had just transformed into a dragon, which made him extremely angry.
Reason told him that Zhou Qing possessed countless treasures, extraordinary opportunities, and was protected by a sacred weapon; he would be safe no matter what.
But the reality is that he is still extremely anxious. Zhou Qing must not have any accidents, especially when he sees the sword that combines the four elements, he is even more eager to break this forbidden artifact.
