Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. On the other side, Liao Xiao Jin let out a loud roar, and the flying sword that was as purple as crystal shot out of his mouth. The nine golden stripes on the sword suddenly appeared and expanded into nine strands, each over a foot wide and three meters long, emitting a majestic purple-golden glow. They hacked down towards the one woman and three men, creating a deafening roar that shook the ground within a radius of ten feet, truly unmatched in power.
Liao Xiaojin is very familiar with Zhou Qing's personality: If people don't offend me, I will occasionally offend others. If people offend me, I will destroy their entire family. It can be said that it is a true portrayal of Zhou Qing's character. So as soon as Zhou Qing moves his mouth, Liao Xiaojin knows that a full-scale martial arts battle is about to begin.
Liao Xiao Jin's flying sword was so mysterious that even Zhou Qing, a master of the practice, couldn't grasp its variables. Since Liao Xiao Jin had obtained the sword, he had only used it once to spar with the Eight Extreme Wolf King, but at that time, he had only practiced the Sword Qi Ling Kong technique for three days and hadn't even entered the door, let alone unleashed the full power of this strange flying sword. This was actually his first formal battle with an enemy, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the sword's might.
Zhou Chen also woke up immediately, a loud shout! The flying sword that Zhou Qing gave her also turned into a two-meter-long clear light and slashed towards the girl holding the Ba Gua mirror. Zhou Chen was furious at the girl's sudden attack on his sister, this blow used all his strength, but the momentum was clearly not as intimidating as Liao Xiao Jin's, the sword light only had one direction, unlike Liao Xiao Jin's nine sword lights that enveloped four people.
Zhou Cang knew that his skills were not up to par, and although he had been diligently practicing for these days, he was only barely able to reach the initial stage of Qi induction. As for the intense battle in the middle, he couldn't contribute anything at all. All he could do was tightly grip the Heaven-Defying Seal given to him by Zhou Qing, waiting for someone to reveal an opening so he could strike them with a heavy blow.
Seeing Liao Xiaojin's sword momentum, Zhou Cang thought to himself: This big brother is usually cheerful and smiling, I didn't see that he had such great skills, and yet he's so fierce.
Zhou Qing was also secretly astonished: Liao Xiao Jin obviously hadn't reached the level of splitting sword lights, yet with that strange flying sword in his hand, he could actually split out nine sword lights? Zhou Qing felt it was unbelievable.
On the other side, the three men and one woman couldn't believe that the two people who were initially so respectful had suddenly become violent. They fought as soon as they spoke, their faces changing faster than a book page turn. Although they were flustered, after all, they were disciples of a prestigious school, and their training was effective. In an instant, they calmed down. The three men shouted in unison, and purple, blue, and red lights flew into the air. Hundreds of rays of light formed a huge shield, protecting the four people inside.
Liao Xiaojin's nine Purple Gold Sword Qi brushed! Brushed! Brushed! Continuously chopped on the light shield, and actually emitted a huge golden iron screeching sound. The three-color light shield suddenly sank down, apparently Liao Xiaojin's sword qi was too powerful, and the light shield could hardly withstand it.
Puff! A flash of blood light within the three-colored light shield, apparently someone had sprayed out their own essence blood to boost the power of the treasure. The three-colored light shield suddenly surged, and Liao Xiaojin's nine sword auras were like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing without a trace. As for Zhou Chen's sword aura, it didn't have any effect at all.
These few people's abilities were originally not much different, all in the middle of Qi refining, relying on treasure comparison, Liao Xiao Jin relied on the ability of that strange flying sword, and suddenly took action, but did not kill a single person! It can be seen that the three men's treasures are also extraordinary.
Zhou Qingyun turned his primordial spirit, and had long since seen clearly that the object emitting three-colored light to form a light shield was actually three strange hoops floating in mid-air, made of neither gold nor iron nor jade, apparently a set of magical treasures.
"This set of treasures is not ordinary! Just right to give it to the three of them, I'll take that Eight Trigrams Mirror. Zhou Qing had already allocated the treasure in her mind, anyway, they're just fish in the net, Zhou Qing wasn't in a hurry, let Liao Xiao Jin and Zhou Chen practice their actual combat experience too."
"You're really courting death! How dare you rebel?! Heavenly Mystery Eight Trigrams, begone!" The angry rebuke came from the girl inside the light shield.
A flash of golden light, the three-colored light shield cracked open, and four people with angry faces appeared. A man covered in blood stains shouted: "Good! You demons dare to attack our Dragon Group members, it seems you're really tired of living. I won't take you back and flay your fox skin!" It seemed that this unlucky man had sprayed out his own essence-blood-activated magic treasure.
"There's no need to say more to these evil demons, let's go together and kill them! Sister! Activate the Xuantian Bagua Formation with all your might!" Another man said in a deep voice.
The girl kept pinching the magic trick, and the palm-sized Bagua mirror emitted a million golden lights, slowly rising into the air.
And the three men also shouted in unison, shooting their flying swords at Liao Xiao Jin. Zhou Chen stabbed forward, but Liao Xiao Jin was not afraid, relying on his own powerful flying sword to entangle the three sword lights tightly. With Zhou Chen also using his flying sword to make a sneak attack from the side, two against three, for a time they were evenly matched and neither gained the upper hand. The five of them began to fight in mid-air, and for a time no one could gain an advantage over the others.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly: It seems that training them is the right thing to do, doesn't it? The flying sword is getting more and more agile, isn't it? Zhou Cang watched as the five people clashed with the flying sword, but Zhou Qing focused his attention on the girl's Bagua mirror. In an instant, the Bagua mirror had transformed into a basin-sized object, and a gigantic golden Bagua illusion, three feet in diameter, emerged from the mirror. Whoosh! The eight golden rays of light fell around the forest, then dissolved into the air.
"Ah! The founder of our sect is the ancestor of array techniques. Your Xuantian Bagua formation may be ingenious, but in my eyes, it's just a trivial matter! I won't let you set up this formation to disturb their sword fight!" Zhou Qing muttered softly.
With a casual toss, the eight jade tokens scattered around the forest, and with a spin, the eight golden lights that had already dissolved into thin air were forcibly pulled out and absorbed into the tokens. The emerald green jade tokens instantly emitted a gold-plated glow, which was truly beautiful to behold.
Since Zhou Qing's recovery of the magical blood god knife, he spent every day either cultivating or immersing himself in the intricate array methods of the Twelve Heavenly God Killing Great Array. His understanding and application of the array method was rapid, like traveling a thousand miles in one day. The girl used the Xuan Tian Eight Trigrams Mirror to activate the Xuan Tian Eight Trigrams Array Method, which formed an extremely powerful array. However, Zhou Qing saw through the array's weakness with just one glance, using his own array to break it, and cleverness to counter cleverness. Just as the Xuan Tian Eight Trigrams Array was about to form, he struck at its weak point in an instant, causing the great array to collapse.
Zhou Qing rubbed her hands together, and the jade pendant suddenly turned fiery red, emitting a high temperature that assailed people. A foot-long purple flame erupted from the jade pendant, and under its scorching, the golden light let out a faint cry before being refined into nothingness in an instant.
The eight golden lights scattered, and the Xuantian Bagua mirror image seemed to have lost its spiritual energy, but then it returned to its original shape, falling from the air with a plop. The girl was shocked, staring at Zhou Qing as if she had seen a ghost, stuttering and unable to speak.
Zhou Qing didn't say much either, pointing with one finger, a formless dark energy struck the girl's body, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, fainting. The difference in their abilities was too great, leaving no room for counterattack; one was at the Qi Refining stage, while the other was at the Nascent Soul stage - it was simply a difference between heaven and earth.
