Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Without the threat of the Demon Extermination Alliance and the Three Heavenly Venerables, the only bond that forced them to unite broke, and in an instant, the surviving squads disintegrated into more than ten squads.

First Duanmu glanced at Qin Xinsu and cursed, "Damn troublemakers, Yujing, Jinse, get out of here!"

First Jinse and First Yujing quickly retreated on the water, not wanting to fight Qin Xinsu.

Team leaders Ma Tianci, Mao Yuling, Song Ye, Zhu Jianxin, and Tang Yijun quickly led their teammates to retreat from the area, unwilling to fight this arrogant and domineering woman.

It wasn't that they were all afraid of Qin Xinsu, but rather that they knew that once the fighting started, they would be caught in a full-blown melee, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Who could guarantee that while the teams were fighting each other, other teams wouldn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?

The situation, which was gradually becoming clearer, has become unpredictable again after Qin Xinsu stirred things up.

"One." Qin Xinsu watched her prey scatter and flee, a sickly smile appearing on her lips. She stood on the sea, dressed in a scarlet robe, her long, smooth black hair dancing in the wind, and raised her hands high, shouting, "Two!"

"three!"

"Four!"

"..."

"Ten!" As the number 10 fell, there were no more opponents in Qin Xinsu's field of vision.

Qin Xinsu only had two teammates left, one named Wu Chunshan and the other named Xing Ruyu. Both of them had extraordinary abilities and were very powerful in combat; otherwise, they would have been killed long ago.

Wu Chunshan, carrying two heavy hammers, laughed and said, "Captain, everyone's run away, who are we going to kill?"

Xing Ruyu, with her feminine demeanor, said calmly, "Shut up. The captain can kill whoever he wants. Why are you asking questions?"

"Isn't there ready-made prey?" Qin Xinsu glanced at the immortal ship floating on the sea not far away, suddenly smiled wickedly, her body surrounded by scarlet lightning, and with a thought, she rushed to the immortal ship.

She looked down at the hundred celestial beings on the fairy ship, with Xing Ruyu and Wu Chunshan following closely to her left and right.

Wu Chunshan said, "Captain, I can only take on 10 at most."

Xing Ruyu said, "Captain, I can only take on a maximum of 10."

Qin Xinsu crossed her arms over her chest, a hint of arrogance appearing on her beautiful face: "I don't need your help. A mere hundred celestial immortals are nothing. I can wipe them out with just one hand. You two, get out of my way."

Wu Chunshan and Xing Ruyu exchanged a glance and then retreated dozens of miles away.

On the celestial ship, among the hundred celestial beings, only Peng Jin and Shui Zheqian of the six members of the Python Sparrow Squad survived. Unlike Zhou Qingfeng, they did not choose to flee the battlefield, but instead continued to infiltrate the Demon Extermination Alliance.

Although the Demon Extermination Alliance has been wiped out, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. In the end, there are still a hundred Celestials who can continue to lie low and protect themselves, rather than leaving the alliance and facing the extermination of other teams.

Qin Xinsu said disdainfully, "Aren't you going to run away?"

A celestial being raised his head, pointed his celestial weapon at Qin Xinsu, and angrily cursed: "Demon God, don't be arrogant! You are just one person, while we have hundreds of people. The advantage is on our side. You are the one who should be running away!"

Another celestial being stepped forward, glaring at Qin Xinsu with hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "You damned demon god, even if I die today, I will fight to the last man and drag you down with me!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!" The celestial beings were filled with righteous indignation, venting all their hatred on Qin Xinsu. The celestial ship roared and crashed directly into Qin Xinsu. At the same time, a hundred celestial beings attacked together. Celestial artifacts clashed and spells flew wildly. They were determined to destroy Qin Xinsu forever.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xinsu instantly transformed into a streak of scarlet lightning and fled into the distance.

A hundred celestial beings relentlessly pursued Qin Xinsu aboard their celestial ships, unleashing a barrage of magical attacks upon her. Qin Xinsu, however, maintained her speed, dodging left and right, like a strange red lightning bolt leaping and flashing across the sea.

She glanced at the celestial ship behind her, a hint of disdain in her expression, and suddenly soared into the sky towards the clouds. The celestial ship also rose rapidly in pursuit, giving Qin Xinsu no time to catch her breath.

With the bright moon hanging high, Qin Xinsu broke through the clouds and stood in the void, her arms crossed in front of her chest, waiting for the immortal ship to catch up. When the immortal ship broke through the clouds, it immediately disintegrated in mid-air.

Numerous fragments of immortal artifacts were scattered across the sky.

The hundred celestial beings on the immortal ship were instantly reduced to countless pieces of flesh, as if they had been sliced ​​into thousands upon thousands of pieces by some kind of precise weapon. They didn't even have time to react before they were all slaughtered.

"Ha, that's all?" Qin Xinsu glanced at it and curled her lip in disdain.

As they ventured deeper into the clouds, Qin Xinsu used her lightning control technique with one hand, transforming countless bolts of lightning into countless invisible lightning lines, which were hidden within the clouds, forming a dense network of lightning.

The pursuing immortal ships rushed into the lightning net and were instantly sliced ​​into pieces by countless lightning lines.

In the art of lightning manipulation, Qin Xinsu's talent is unparalleled, truly peerless. Among the world's young talents, none can rival her in lightning techniques; she is the absolute queen of this generation's lightning manipulation realm.

The ancestors of the Qin family have all studied the Way of Thunder. There are countless applications of Thunder-related techniques and supernatural powers at each level. There is no need for later generations to study more in-depth applications. They only need to focus on learning from the experience of their predecessors.

Therefore, the single Thunder Control Technique can be infinitely varied in her hands. With one Thunder Dao technique and one Thunder Dao supernatural power, she can deal with any environment, whether it is attacking, defending, escaping or controlling, all at her fingertips.

Moreover, Qin Xinsu did not cultivate any other magic or supernatural powers.

In her eyes, apart from thunder magic, all other types of magic are trash.

In the end, Qin Xinsu transformed into a scarlet lightning bolt, pierced through the clouds, and returned to the sea.

She crossed her arms and coldly watched as the flesh and blood mixed with fragments of immortal artifacts fell into the sea. Her scarlet robe seemed to be stained with blood, and her black hair danced in the wind, adding to her sharp and aloof demeanor.

Wu Chunshan and Xing Ruyu rushed over, stepping on water, and gathered around Qin Xinsu, clasping their hands in a gesture of flattery.

Wu Chunshan said, "If Heaven had not given birth to you, Qin Xinsu, the Thunder Path would have been shrouded in eternal darkness! Captain, you are invincible!"

Xing Ruyu glanced at Wu Chunshan and thought to herself, "Good heavens, how am I supposed to flatter him like that?"

After a moment's hesitation, Xing Ruyu clasped her hands and said, "With one hand, I can sweep away the immortals and turn hundreds of people into clouds and smoke. Among those of the same rank, the captain should be number one on the Heavenly Ranking. Zhou Qingfeng, Huangfu Yunzheng, and even the number one Duanmu should all step aside."

Qin Xinsu glanced at the two of them, picked at her ear, and said, "Boring. Let's go hunt down other teams."

"Yes, Captain!" Wu Chunshan and Xing Ruyu clasped their fists in unison to acknowledge the order.

The three of them quickly flew away in one direction.

The scene fell into dead silence.

Zhou Qingfeng and his teammates hid nearby. Seeing that there were no survivors at the scene, they still cautiously held down all their teammates and continued to lie in ambush in the seawater, without any intention of showing themselves.

Shui Zheqian and Peng Jin quietly emerged from the water. They exchanged a glance and saw the fear and lingering dread in each other's eyes. If they hadn't jumped off the ship in time and escaped to hide in the sea, they would probably have been turned into a pile of pieces of flesh.

Shui Zhe swallowed lightly and said, "Qin Xinsu's strength is terrifying."

Peng Jin wiped the water off his face: "Qin Xinsu is indeed a captain-level prodigy. Her combat power is clearly far superior to ours. I'm afraid only Captain Huangfu can compete with her."

Upon hearing this, Shui Zheqian's expression turned very unpleasant.

If Captain Huangfu hadn't died, the Python Sparrow Squad wouldn't have been in such a sorry state, forced to hide and fight for survival.

"Really? Then where is your Captain Huangfu?" A mocking voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Shui Zheqian and Peng Jin's expressions changed, and they immediately turned around to look at the void behind them. Qin Xinsu and Wu Xing had returned to the battlefield at some point and were looking at them with a mocking expression.

Mizuki Shallow was on high alert, but not too panicked, because this was at sea, and water was her home turf. Even if she faced a captain-level genius, she was still confident that she could escape unscathed.

"Peng Jin, you go first."

Upon hearing this, Peng Jin glanced sideways at Shui Zheqian, quite surprised that Shui Zheqian would take the initiative to cover the rear.

However, he did not retreat, because the Python Sparrow Squad was down to just the two of them and was about to be wiped out.

If any one of them dies, the remaining one is unlikely to survive until the end of the game.

To escape now, one must severely injure Qin Xinsu, forcing her to be wary. Otherwise, escaping Qin Xinsu's hunt is nothing short of a pipe dream, given how fast Qin Xinsu's lightning strikes can travel thousands of miles in an instant.

Peng Jin calmly said, "It's better to live and die together than to live alone."

Shui Zheqian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, then let's live and die together."

Qin Xinsu crossed her arms and said with amusement, "Tsk, it seems your captain Huangfu Yunzheng is dead. Who killed him? Let me guess, was it Zhou Qingfeng?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Jin's eyes flickered, and a plan immediately came to mind: "That's right, Zhou Qingfeng killed Captain Huangfu. You need to be careful. He killed Captain Huangfu from a distance. He may have been practicing the first-level disaster-level technique, Instant Death Demon Eye Technique."

"Actually, your current opponent is not us, but Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng has the most points right now, and he is the biggest threat to your chance to take the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking."

“Go kill him. No, maybe we can cooperate. We can help you kill Zhou Qingfeng. He's probably hiding nearby, observing the situation. We can help you find him and take him down!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Xinsu's expression showed surprise. She hadn't expected that Zhou Qingfeng would practice the Instant Death Demon Eye Technique, and she hadn't expected that Huangfu Yunzheng would be so unlucky as to be killed by Zhou Qingfeng's glare.

This Instant Death Eye Technique relies heavily on luck and has a significant flaw: regardless of success or failure, the magic power will be depleted, and the target must be within the caster's field of vision during the casting process.

Given all its flaws, Qin Xinsu considered this technique rather useless.

Although it is called the number one disaster-level spell, it seems a bit undeserving of the name.

However, Qin Xinsu kept it in mind. She didn't want to be killed by Zhou Qingfeng's secret magic like Huangfu Yunzheng. She had to be prepared to deal with Zhou Qingfeng next time she met him.

"Thank you for reminding me." Qin Xinsu said with a smile, "To thank you for the information you provided, I will give you a dignified funeral, as a small token of my appreciation."

"Damn it, fuck her!" Peng Jin roared.

On the ruins of the land, hundreds of miles away, more than ten teams, including Duanmu Team, Tianci Team, Yuling Team, Song Ye Team, Jianxin Team, and Yijun Team, who were observing from the shadows, had not gone far.

They all stopped in their tracks and hid, waiting for their chance to strike.

Now, it's clear from observation that the Python Sparrow Squad has been completely wiped out by Zhou Qingfeng, and even Huangfu Yunzheng has been killed. Only these two small fry have been caught by Qin Xinsu, which basically means the Python Sparrow Squad has been completely destroyed.

In other words, Qingfeng's team is the only team with a significantly higher score among the existing teams. Zhou Qingfeng's individual score is guaranteed to be number one, and his teammates are also destined to rank at the top of the leaderboard.

There's no way we can catch up. Even if we wipe out all the current squads, we still can't catch up, because it's obvious that the Qingfeng squad has already racked up too many points by taking advantage of the situation, so there's no way we can catch up.

To claim the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking, one must find a way to eliminate Zhou Qingfeng; otherwise, no one else will have a chance.

Meanwhile, the three prodigies from the first collateral branch are caught in an immense dilemma.

"What should we do? Should we hunt down Zhou Qingfeng?"

"No way. He is the young master of our First Family. He is a man of great talent and unparalleled wisdom. He will surely lead our First Family to greater glory in the future. Killing him would be destroying our own foundation."

"Then help him?"

"That won't do either. He's a young and promising guy, and we're the veterans. If we help him win the championship, wouldn't that just boost the influence of the young and promising guys? Then he'll just take away even more of our veterans' interests in the future."

"Then let's just ignore it and watch, okay?"

"That won't work either. What if Zhou Qingfeng dies? My company will suffer a huge loss."

"Damn it, we can't help, we can't not help, and we can't even watch. What are we supposed to do?"

The First Duanmu, the First Jinse, and the First Yujing are hiding in some ruins, discussing whether to hunt down Zhou Qingfeng, protect him, or do nothing and let him go.

Zhou Qingfeng is, after all, the fourth young master of the first family.

Although it was born to represent the younger generation, it was naturally opposed to the older generation represented by the three collateral branches of the first family.

However, the elders never intended to kill Zhou Qingfeng, because they were not targeting Zhou Qingfeng personally. They only wanted to suppress the younger generation and secure more benefits for the three collateral branches.

If they were to speak from the heart, the elders certainly wouldn't want Zhou Qingfeng to die. After all, he was the first generation of peerless geniuses cultivated by the First Family, and once he grew up, he would become the pillar of the First Family in the future.

Duanmu said in a deep voice, "Zhou Qingfeng has the highest score now, and he has definitely become the target of everyone's attacks. He will soon face targeted attacks from other teams. We must do something."

First Jinse, carrying her zither, firmly stated: "I oppose the pursuit and killing of Zhou Qingfeng. In the end, we are all from the same family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. We can suppress him and exclude him, but we cannot kill him."

First Jade Capital said, "I also oppose the pursuit and killing of Zhou Qingfeng. I'm sure the elders of the Sun, Moon and Star clans would not agree to us turning our swords against our own family members. Even if this is the Heavenly Pride Competition, we cannot do this."

First, Duanmu nodded slightly: "In that case, let's not hunt down Zhou Qingfeng. Let's remain neutral for now, stick to the original plan, hunt down other teams to earn points, and try to improve our ranking on the Heavenly Ranking. As for whether or not to help him, we'll see. Perhaps with Zhou Qingfeng's abilities, he doesn't need our help at all."

For the sake of their family's interests and long-term considerations, Duanmu's team chose to remain neutral and not pursue Zhou Qingfeng.

But the others don't care about that. If they want to take first place, they'll definitely have to take down Zhou Qingfeng first.

"Let's go, there's no need to watch anymore." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the battlefield in the distance, where a sudden surge of turbulent waves and flashes of lightning had appeared, and knew that Qin Xinsu and Shui Zheqian had started fighting.

Therefore, Zhou Qingfeng decisively chose to lead his team to silently withdraw from the battlefield and flee into the distance.

After a cup of tea, he had already driven the Heavenly Cloak of Disaster Repelling to fly 108,000 miles away.

Zhou Qingfeng chose a secluded cave to hide in, and the group lit a fire and sat together to eat and rest.

The events of that night were too great; thirteen continents were destroyed in an instant, and almost all living beings were wiped out.

The landscape of world sports has changed once again.

The Qingfeng team went from having an absolute advantage to becoming the target of everyone's attacks in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Qingfeng sat in front of the fire, calmly eating meat pies and thinking about the next steps: "Be prepared to face the pursuit of other teams. Our days ahead won't be easy. There are still 9 days left until the end of the competition. Think about how to spend these 9 days."
