The palm seals struck by the two men violently collided together.
True qi surged and electric light shot out in all directions.
“Boom!”
Mu Qing’s body shook as he felt a huge force surging from that one teenager’s palm, shocking his entire body’s true qi into disarray, and his body involuntarily fell backward.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen’s right hand turned, waved his battle sword, and used the move “Heart of Heaven Full Moon” to slash down on his head.
The light of the sword was like a bright full moon, with a sword Qi converging on everything, carrying a terrifyingly sharp aura as it slashed at Mu Qing’s neck.
Using a palm in one hand and a sword in the other, this was a “two minds” move.
It was as if Zhang Ruochen had split into two, turning into two supreme masters as he launched an attack at Mu Qing at the same time.
“If you can use two minds at once, I can also use two minds at once.”
Mu Qing’s cultivation had reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm, so his mental power was naturally above the twentieth rank, and he was also able to use two minds at once.
“Snap!”
Mu Qing’s left hand touched on his waist, pulling out a long golden thread whip, flinging it towards the void as if it was a golden light flying out, the long whip trembled, emitting a loud air explosion!
That one golden thread long whip was refined from the sixteen meridians of a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, reaching the level of a seventh rank True Martial Treasure Artifact.
A martial artist’s meridians, under the constant nourishment of true qi, would become stronger and stronger.
Especially the meridians of a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist were incomparably tough, a knife could not be chopped, fire could not be burnt, and was definitely considered a good material for weapon refining.
The Golden Thread Long Whip in Mu Qing’s hand was a master refiner who extracted sixteen complete meridians from the body of a dead Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, entwined them together, engraved the inscriptions, and then after constant hammering and refining, it was eventually turned into a Seventh Order True Martial Treasure Weapon.
That one golden thread long whip, only as thin as a hair, was as long as three zhang, and in the hands of a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist, it was sharper than a sword.
Once a martial artist was stained by the long whip, their neck would be cut in an instant.
“Swish swish!”
Mu Qing’s whip technique was extremely skillful, the long whip that seemed as thin as a cow’s hair was unpredictable in his hands, forcing Zhang Ruochen to keep retreating.
“Wow.”
With a flash of golden light, a bucket-thick pine tree beside Zhang Ruochen was cut off by the whip and collapsed with a loud bang, with flakes of snow falling from its leaves.
The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s clothes was also grazed by the long golden thread whip, and his clothes instantly split open. A palm-sized piece of white cloth fell and smashed into the ground.
Since he couldn’t attack up close, he could only attack from afar.
“Blood Qi Condensed Soldier!”
The blood qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body surged out, turning into a thread of blood awns that surrounded his body, condensing the silhouettes of nine blood swords.
Because he had reached the Earth Extreme Realm, the blood sword silhouettes also became more solid.
The nine swords rotated rapidly around Zhang Ruochen, emitting a red-coloured sword Qi.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed forwards, and the nine swords united, turning into a bloody light that flew towards Mu Qing’s chest.
The speed of the blood swords was as fast as lightning.
Even with Mu Qing’s speed, he was unable to dodge it, his face changed and he immediately mobilised his true qi and injected it into a jade pendant hanging on his chest.
The defensive formation inscription in the jade pendant was activated, condensing a three-metre-long, half-metre-thick light shield that hovered in front of him.
“Boom!”
The blood sword impacted on top of the light shield, piercing through half of it before the blood Qi dissipated.
That light shield also turned into a wisp of aura that dissipated into the air.
Mu Qing was a bit shocked, that teenager’s blood qi was also too powerful, it was actually possible to condense nine blood swords, fortunately, he was wearing a protective treasure, otherwise he would have died in Zhang Ruochen’s hands just now.
Purchasing a protective treasure would cost a huge amount of silver coins, and it could only be used once.
Mu Qing looked at the jade pendant on his chest that had lost its lustre and felt very distressed, that was a protective treasure that he had spent one third of his assets to purchase.
“It’s a shame that you actually wear a protective treasure!” Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, just now, such a good opportunity was actually escaped by him.
Knowing that he had misjudged the strength of that one teenager, Mu Qing was afraid of falling in the gutter, so he immediately turned around and rushed in the direction of the Red Spider Giant Ship.
As long as he returned to the Red Spider Giant Ship and borrowed the power of the giant ship, he could easily crush that one teenager.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not give him a chance to return to the Red Spider Giant Ship, and his entire body’s true qi surged out, forming the heaven and earth phenomenon of “Hundred Zhang Prairie Fire”.
“Puffing!”
The true qi burned, turning into a sea of 100 feet of fire, wrapping Mu Qing in flames.
“Break it for me!”
Mu Qing punched out with a palm, tearing Zhang Ruochen’s Heaven and Earth vision apart and rushed out.
Just as he rushed out, above his head, a huge battle sword chopped down, accurately slashing at the top of his head.
“How could it be so fast …… not right ……”
Mu Qing realised that the sword was not cupped in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, but was instead chopping down in the air.
“Imperial Sword Art!”
Mu Qing’s face changed in shock, and he immediately took a step to the right horizontally, trying to dodge over.
“Pfft!”
Mu Qing didn’t completely dodge over, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword chopped down on his left shoulder, chopping off a large chunk of flesh and blood, even the bone was chipped off a small piece, just short of chopping off his entire left arm.
A sharp pain came from his left shoulder, half of his body was completely numb, it was a pain that went deep into his bones.
“Boom boom!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was in mid-air, constantly changing its stances, performing more than twenty sword techniques in a row, surrounding Mu Qing in the centre, there was no chance to re the Red Spider Giant Ship.
Mu Qing’s arm had a long golden threaded whip, and he kept swinging it to resist the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword that was chopping over.
His face became more and more gloomy, regretting very much that he had underestimated that one teenager earlier, if he had known, he would have directly used the Red Spider Giant Ship, and the battle wouldn’t have been as tough as it was now.
“Peng Shu, immediately activate the Red Spider Giant Ship’s formation to help the old man.” Mu Qing roared, his sound waves extending out in a circle, as if he was calling out to a certain Evil Dao martial artist on the Red Spider Giant Ship.
On the left side of the Red Spider Giant Ship suspended in the void, an attack formation began to slowly rotate, forming a vortex that absorbed the aura in the surrounding space.
A powerful and dangerous aura descended from the sky, causing Zhang Ruochen to feel somewhat suffocated.
Zhang Ruochen made a decisive decision and executed the Grand Completion’s Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, lifting his body nine times in a row, his movements flowing like a staircase to the sky as he landed on top of the deck of the Red Spider Giant Ship.
“Kid, how dare you!”
When Mu Qing saw Zhang Ruochen boarding the Red Spider Giant Ship, he was very anxious in his heart and immediately chased after him.
His heart once again screamed that he had miscalculated, he should have known that he should have opened the Red Spider Giant Ship’s defence formation, in that case, even if that one teenager was no matter how powerful he was, it would be impossible for him to enter the Red Spider Giant Ship.
However, the evil martial artist staying on the Red Spider Giant Ship didn’t know that Mu Qing couldn’t clean up Zhang Ruochen, so he didn’t open the defence formation, thus giving Zhang Ruochen an opportunity to take advantage of.
“Peng Shu, quickly open the ship guard formation to suppress that one teenager.” Mu Qing yelled.
Boarding the Red Spider Giant Ship, Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Mu Qing, who was chasing behind him, and with a stretch of his arm, he retrieved the Sinking Abyssal Ancient Sword into his hand, and rushed towards the console of the Red Spider Giant Ship.
Peng Shu stood on the console, hearing Mu Qing’s voice, and was about to switch on the Ship Protector Formation.
Suddenly, a silhouette flashed by and a teenager appeared in front of him.
“Who are you ……”
Peng Shu stared at that one teenager, and before he could finish his words, he saw that one teenager swing his sword and chop over.
Peng Shu was Mu Qing’s beloved and a tough general, his martial arts cultivation had reached the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle.
He was about to execute a palm move to ward off Zhang Ruochen’s sword move when he realised that his head had flown up, separated from his neck, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen pushed out with a palm, pushing Peng Shu’s corpse away, and extended a palm to press inside the pit of the console, activating a spirit crystal.
The spirit crystals embedded on the Red Spider Giant Ship emitted a wisp of spiritual qi, triggering the formation inscription.
“Rumble!”
A huge array formation with a diameter of several hundred metres hovered in the sky above the Red Spider Giant Ship, emitting eye-catching light and descending a chain of light, completely wrapping the Red Spider Giant Ship.
If one stood on the ground and looked from afar, one could only see a blinding light emanating from the Red Spider Giant Ship’s position, like a small round of sun.
“Damn it!”
Mu Qing, who had just chased after the Red Spider Giant Ship, glanced towards the ship-guard formation above his head, his heart trembled violently, and he turned his head around and jumped towards the outside of the Giant Ship.
Zhang Ruochen had already taken control of the Red Spider Giant Ship and had turned on the Ship Protector Formation, so if Mu Qing continued to stay on the Red Spider Giant Ship, it could be said that he would surely die.
If he escaped the Red Spider Giant Ship, he would at least have a chance of survival.
What Mu Qing didn’t know was that Zhang Ruochen had not only turned on the Ship Protector Formation, he had also turned on the Defence Formation.
“Boom!”
Mu Qing impacted on top of the defensive formation’s pattern, and a wall of light appeared in front of him, bouncing him back.
A Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouse was so dizzy from the impact that he staggered in his steps and almost fell to the ground.
“Kid, old me will fight you!”
Mu Qing clenched his teeth and stormed over in the direction of the console.
Only just after rushing out more than ten steps, the Ship Protector Formation condensed more than twenty bowl-thick lightning bolts, which fell like more than twenty electric snakes, all of which struck Mu Qing’s body.
“Boom!”
Mu Qing’s body directly exploded into a cloud of black smoke.
In the midst of the black smoke, a broken skeleton, snapped and fell to the ground. In the skeleton’s hands, there was also a golden long whip cupped.
When the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce cast the Red Spider Giant Ship, they placed the Ship Protecting Formation at the top of the list of priorities because they were afraid that the Red Spider Giant Ship would fall into the hands of another martial artist.
Therefore, even with Mu Qing’s martial cultivation, he couldn’t block a blow from the ship guard formation.
“Fortunately, there is the Red Spider Giant Ship, otherwise, it would never be easy to kill Mu Qing.”
Zhang Ruochen stepped down from the console and unleashed his Spatial Domain, starting to probe the entire Red Spider Giant Ship.
Mu Qing had rushed to rescue Lord Hua Ming, although he was in a hurry and couldn’t have brought many men with him. But the Red Spider Giant Ship was so huge after all, it couldn’t really be just Mu Qing and Peng Shu.
Inside the ship’s silo, there must be other Evil Dao martial artists, and they must all be found out in case of accidents.
