Chapter 99: The God-Slaying Sword of Qing Emperor

  "How do you know so much about the Divine State?" Zhan Bu asked in confusion. In the Middle State, only scattered cultivators would be interested in other major states. The Dan Yang Sect was a small sect and had no power to trade across the sea, so it should not have known such information.

  "Hmph." Zhu Guo rolled her eyes at Zhan Bu.

  "Zhu Guo, your sect wasn't exterminated, was it?" Bai Qi suddenly said.

  Zhu Guo nodded and said, "Yes, that old scoundrel of a master joined the Night Emperor's sect and wanted to refine me into a pill to give to someone else. I knew he didn't have good intentions when he took me in, so I brought all his wealth with me and ran away. You two had better hurry up, otherwise the people from the Night Emperor's sect will catch up to you, and they won't believe that you two weren't involved."

  Bai Qi burst out laughing, and Zhu Guo stared at him, asking: "What are you laughing at?"

  Bai Qi just smiled and shook his head, without explaining. He said to Zhan Bu: "You get familiar with the Golden Boat, we'll set off immediately."

  Zhan Bu nodded, summoning the nearby mountain's Qi Refiners to prepare for departure. Zhu Guo hummed and looked at Bai Qi: "You're also afraid? The Night Emperor's sect isn't easy to provoke, or else why would I have escaped to Shen Zhou?"

  Bai Qi looked at the approaching Alchemist and said, "Don't mention this again in front of others. Are you still refining pills? Be careful not to attract unwanted attention."

  That Zhu Guo was shocked and took a step back.

  "Hurry up and leave, I'm not interested in you."

  That Zhu Guo looked suspicious, standing there not knowing whether to continue following Bai Qi and the others or turn back to Zhongzhou. This place was not too far from Zhongzhou, her Xian Tian stage cultivation could still allow her to fly back safely as long as she didn't run into any demons.

  "Let's go, Zhongzhou is full of dangers, joining the Night Emperor's sect would be a good choice, but you definitely don't want to, right?"

  Zhu Guo's silver teeth chattered loudly as he nodded his head.

  "It's okay to spread out a bit more, once we arrive in China, let's settle down in one place first, it's unfamiliar territory after all."

  Zhu Guo relaxed a bit, not responding. At this moment, a miserable cry was heard from the mountain slope, Bai Qi looked up and saw a group of huge demonic beasts flying in from the sea, one of which had bitten off the lower body of a cultivator who was in that direction, while two other flying demonic beasts were still fighting over his lower half.

  The Alchemist's powerful life force has become a source of suffering at this time.

  Spread calmly and turned back to ask Zhu Guo: "Can he be saved?"

  Zhu Guo's body must have more than just the Hui Qi Dan, she herself said so. She swept away her master's wealth and was the leader of the Dan Yang Gate, after all, a cultivator in the Return to Void stage.

  Zhu Guo shook his head and said, "There's no way to save him."

  Zhan Bu looked at Zhu Guo and shook his head, he had already released a sword pellet, suspending in mid-air the beheaded skull of the Lian Qi Shi that had been bitten into two pieces. The Lian Qi Shi instantly died, no longer suffering from the demonic beast's torture.

  That sword arrived in an instant, obviously already at the level of a rainbow. A loose cultivator who can cultivate their swordsmanship to this extent is also considered to have good innate talent and extraordinary encounters.

  Bai Qi took one glance and saw the gap in the exhibition, his swordsmanship was pure and refined, obviously having an exceptionally rich experience in combat, but that sword of his, only counted as a top-grade treasured sword.

  A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage without even a single magical weapon.

  That sword pill was spewing out sword energy, with its tip shooting in all directions. It looked powerful enough, but it still couldn't compare to Bai Qi's Moon Wheel Sword Pill. When released, it only emitted a faint, pale moonlight, and unless it hit an enemy, the sword energy would not leak out at all.

  The display was indeed a means of survival, but his swordsmanship was also the most skilled way to defeat the enemy. Bai Qi looked at the flying demon beasts and they were not small either, each one was over 6 meters long, with wings spread out for more than 9 meters. These demons had human faces, but had huge beaks like birds, sharp and hard at the front, with sharp teeth growing inside.

  Each of these demonic beasts possesses the power of the Transcendent Realm. The cultivator who was bitten also released his sword, but it only injured one of the demonic beasts.

  Spread out and avoid the demonic aura, these demon beasts are just passing by. If the cultivator doesn't act rashly, they definitely won't be attacked. The demon beasts have intelligence, this time they've provoked a group of Nascent Soul stage demon beasts, whether these people can survive depends on their luck.

  Bai Qi also saw that these demon beasts were not weak, but he didn't worry at all. Among the groups of demon beasts, none had reached the Golden Dan realm.

  His crescent moon sword flew out, and the twenty-four sword pellets also instantly charged into that group of demons, their speed was a few points faster than Zhan Bu's. His swordsmanship may not be better than Zhan Bu's, but his sword pellets were many times stronger.

  There were still countless demonic beasts behind, and Bai Qi's Moon Wheel Sword scattered, with sword energy surging everywhere. Those demonic beasts spat out black water from their mouths, and Zhan Bu had to slightly withdraw the sword pellets to guard against any sudden advances by the demonic beasts. The distant demonic beasts all left Bai Qi alone to slaughter.

  Zhu Guo's heart was racing with excitement, Bai Qi's strength was much stronger than she had imagined, a real conflict had arisen, and she was no match for him, no wonder Bai Qi had spoken like that just now.

  Those demon beasts indeed rushed towards Bai Qi Fei, and Bai Qi's sword pellets only had twenty-four rounds. If he didn't use the Moon Night Bitter Rain Sword technique and release the Jian Xian Sword energy, it would be difficult to kill these demon beasts in the Hua Shen period.

  Those monsters are getting more and more numerous, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and the expression on his face is becoming increasingly ugly.

  Zhu Guo was anxious, she raised the jade bangle on her hand, a green light enveloped both Zhang Bai and the white cloth, the monster suddenly lost its direction and flew around randomly.

  Zhu Guo hastily said: "Brother Bai, I have True Sun Blazing Fire Pills here!"

  He smiled and shook his head, saying: "I'm fine."

  He single-handedly dealt with over a hundred monsters, his vitality unbroken. Zhu Guo and He Bu were both taken aback. Zhu Guo hastily said: "Don't force yourself, I won't charge you for this!"

  Bai Qi arrived at this time, and it was also not hidden too much. The twenty-four sword pellets were slightly withdrawn, merged into one place, transformed into a bright moon of more than five zhang, and in the bright moon, there was a vague shadow.

  That monster pounced over, and the sword energy inside the bright moon suddenly became intense. One of the monsters was directly split in half.

  This demon beast had hard scales all over its body, and the scattered sword auras were just searching for weaknesses to attack. But Bai Qi was splitting the demon beast in two from the hardest part of its head. And this time, only his sword energy was used.

  "This... this is the Way of Soldiers!" Zhan Bu exclaimed in shock.

  "Save people first." Bai Qi's face was somewhat cold, this coastal area had such a powerful demon beast, it seemed that the next journey would not be easy.

  Zhan Bu also knew that Bai Qi was furious, so he reluctantly put a Hui Qi Dan in his mouth before releasing his Du E Jin Zhou. The Du E Jin Zhou flew out, with a brilliant light of ten thousand zhang, and the hundreds of demons that followed behind were illuminated by this golden light, becoming even more enraged. Although their bodies had already started to emit black smoke, they still charged towards the Du E Jin Zhou with all their might.

  At this moment, Zhu Guo was not ambiguous. She took out a delicate and transparent crystal box, opened the box, and a golden centipede flew out of it. The golden centipede flew up and spat fire, charging towards the group of demonic beasts.

  This golden centipede grew in the wind, its body quickly exceeding three feet. In the smoke and fire, there were also golden star-like substances flashing about. A monster opened its mouth to swallow this centipede, but was sprayed by the smoke and fire, causing its entire head to explode open.

  Bai Qi saw two people doing their best and was satisfied.

  However, the golden ark flew in mid-air, its speed only slightly faster than that of the demon beast. The golden light flashed as it navigated through the mountains, picking up the four surviving Qi Refiners before flying back to Zhan Bu's side.

  He swallowed the Reverted Qi Pellet and shouted: "Board the ship!"

  Bai Qi and Zhu Guo hastily boarded the ship, where in the midst of crossing the Golden Ferry, four Qi-refining cultivators were already frightened out of their wits. Hundreds of transformed divine beasts, they were simply powerless to resist.

  Rescue the four Qi practitioners, unfold and drive the Jue Jin Zhou to escape from another direction of the island. Those monsters are chasing closely behind. Bai Qi's Moon Wheel Sword hangs high above the Jue Jin Zhou, anything that gets close is a sword energy sweep, cutting it down.

  Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo also saw it at this time. The sword aura of Bai Qi contained power that did not belong to him.

  Bai Qi wasn't too worried about life and death, he had the power of the Six Daoist Techniques. Below the Earth Immortal, no one could kill him. However, using up one of his techniques would weaken his future yin spirit by more than 10%, a result that Bai Qi absolutely did not want to see happen.

  Unfortunately, Yu Qing used up one of the divine lightning bolts while escaping and now only has two sword auras left on him from his master, which can barely deal with three Golden Dan stage enemies.

  Bai Qi secretly calculated in his heart, determined to practice the ninth chapter of Qing Lei Zhen Jie as soon as possible. Otherwise, without external help, he would easily die at the hands of a Golden Dan strong practitioner.

  The reason why the Return to Void period can be called strong is that after a golden elixir condenses, the Dao method advances by leaps and bounds.

  At the same time, the dangers of this vast ocean also stirred up the adventurous nature in Bai Qi's demonic bloodline. A kind of indescribable feeling spread through Bai Qi's heart as he manipulated the Moon Wheel Sword, slaughtering those demon beasts at the Nascent Soul stage. His mental state was becoming increasingly fluid, and on top of his sword energy, there was an added layer of meaning that couldn't be put into words.

  Bai Qi himself didn't even realize that he had absorbed a thread of purification from the sword intent of Yuexian, every sword strike was his own power, his own way. At first, the demon beast was injured by the sword intent of Yuexian, so it died with one sword strike, but later on, in Bai Qi's own sword intent, there appeared a rule that directly pointed to the heart.

  With one sword strike, the demon beast's form and spirit were extinguished. The power of the sword energy still came from the Xianjian Sword Intent, but the true essence of this sword technique was actually Bai Qi's manipulation.

  The Slash God stage in swordsmanship was unknowingly completed by Bai Qi.

  With this slash of the divine level swordsmanship, Bai Qi could cause fatal damage to a Golden Elixir strong practitioner even without the help of the Xian Jian Sword Intent. Until Bai Qi suddenly woke up and found that he had cultivated the Slash Divine Sword Technique, those demonic beasts chasing after Du'e Jinzhou had disappeared, more than half were killed, and the rest were intimidated by Bai Qi's sword intent and turned to escape.

  Zhu Guo had long since retracted her golden centipede, and with a pained expression, she placed four dan medicines in the crystal box under the house, closed it, and put it away.

  Zhan Bu looked at Bai Qi and said with a complex tone after a long pause: "Congratulations, Brother Bai."

  "The golden elixir is not yet formed, what joy can there be?" Bai Qi put away his sword and replied indifferently.

  "Hmm, that's true." Bai Qi's words calmed his mind instantly. The power of a cultivator was indeed important, but without achieving the Great Way, it would only lead to a thousand years of life. In the end, what they were fighting for was just a thread of hope in the vast unknown.

  Bai Qi saw that Zhan Bu's mental state was calm and composed, and he secretly admired him. This guy was indeed a good seed for cultivating the Tao, but unfortunately, his luck was bad and he hadn't been discovered by any powerful master to take him as an apprentice.
