I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 306 Heavenly King and Divine Physician Chase the Evil Sword Light
Chen Zhian's words were resounding and powerful.

His calm eyes, filled with inquiry, looked at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing and many of the younger people behind him all fell silent as they looked at Chen Zhian.

Qiu Yuan was also stunned.

With his Heavenly Palace cultivation, he could naturally sense that the young man in front of him was only at the Profound Pool level. Why would someone at the Profound Pool level be so arrogant?

Shen Zongyu and the two elders behind him cast grateful glances at Chen Zhian.

A few moments passed quietly, and Zhao Qing seemed to finally realize what was happening. The smile on his face disappeared, and he just let out a long sigh.

"Brother Li, I saw you kill Xia Tu as easily as chopping vegetables and cutting melons! Although your cultivation is only at the Profound Pool Realm, you have the combat power of a Heavenly Palace, with a profound foundation and a promising future."

Even though I've never seen your name on any export advertisements, there are countless people in the world who achieve great things later in life.

I had hoped to befriend you, but why must you humiliate me like this?

Just then, a long gust of wind blew by, causing Zhao Qing's robes to flutter and rustle.

He put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you should know that most of those who can enter the top ten of the Young Tiger Stele are at the Xuanfu level."

Their combat strength goes without saying; they are comparable to the Heavenly Palace.

I am destined to meet you, and even if you humiliate me today, I will not hold it against you.

If you leave now, I will pretend nothing happened.

As he said this, he suddenly snapped his fingers lightly.

The clouds in the sky suddenly condensed, transforming into a giant hand, from which surged powerful true energy, terrifying beyond measure.

It was as if this giant hand could easily suppress the cultivators beneath the Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, Zhao Qing had a handsome face, an upright posture, and an extraordinary aura.

Even figures like Shen Zongyu and Qiu Yuan couldn't help but feel envious when they saw such a young and powerful individual.

"The world beyond the clouds is vast... Zhao Qing has such a profound foundation, yet he is only ranked eighth on the Young Tiger Stele."

Little did they know how powerful those ranked higher on the Young Tiger Stele were.

Shen Zongyu sighed and couldn't help but look at Qiu Yuan.

The void behind Qiu Yuan was faintly distorted, as if it were hiding an extremely extraordinary treasure.

Without much thought, it's clear that the fact that this sworn enemy of Yong'an City, the Grand Elder of Anxi City, dared to come to Yong'an City without any soldiers means he must have some powerful backing.

If we add Zhao Qing and those many other young powerhouses...

"Yong'an City has fallen."

A hint of sadness inevitably flashed in Shen Zongyu's eyes.

He thought for a moment, and was about to speak to Chen Zhian.

But Chen Zhian, who was standing next to him, turned his head to look at the towering statue.

The goddess statue remained lifeless as always.

Chen Zhian saw that Zhao Qing was not going to back down, but his expression remained unchanged.

He gently stroked the Tiger Soul Blade at his waist and said to Zhao Qing, "Brother Zhao, since you are unwilling to repay my kindness, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" Zhao Qing raised an eyebrow.

Qiu Yuan and Shen Zongyu's expressions also changed slightly.

Chen Zhian, his divine energy flowing, said to Zhao Qing, "Why don't we fight each other? If I defeat you, you can lead those strongmen to kill these strongmen of Anxi City with me, and then come with me to destroy the divine statues in Anxi City."

You simply want to destroy a city, to see what kind of opportunity is hidden within that stone tablet! Why must you specifically target Yong'an City?

Chen Zhian recounted the story in detail.

Zhao Qing looked closely at Chen Zhian, somewhat puzzled.

"Why is Brother Li so determined to protect Yong'an City?" Zhao Qing asked.

Chen Zhian did not answer, but simply rested his hand on his knife, waiting for Zhao Qing's response.

Zhao Qing looked down and saw a fairly prosperous city. In the city, peddlers and laborers shouted their wares, children played and frolicked, and wisps of smoke rose from the houses.

“Very well.” He smiled and said, “Just as you said, to me, there is no difference between Yong’an City and Anxi City. Now that all the young talents in the world are gathered in this Daoist Immortal Palace, these seven cities will surely perish. I will naturally not be bound by the order of precedence.”

More importantly... I want to see what makes Brother Li so confident!

Zhao Qing gently stroked his wide sleeves and said, "I have seen Brother Li make a move before. Brother Li has mastered the Blade Soul, but he has only cultivated one fourth-grade divine ability. His combat power is strong, but it is not comparable to Tian Que at all."

Now that Brother Li knows my identity, his confidence still arouses my curiosity.

In that case... Brother Li, please enlighten me!

Before the words "Please advise" had even faded from his lips, Zhao Qingguang's sleeves had already billowed up like a thousand piles of clouds.

Chen Zhian's pupils contracted sharply, and the Tiger Soul Blade was drawn with a clang.

The moment the blade flashed, the entire sea of ​​clouds suddenly boiled over—the murderous aura stirred up by the Azure Emperor's Blade Soul transformed into a hundred-foot-long river, with the four colors of true essence—purple, yellow, green, and blood—floating in the water, each wave crackling with spiritual thunder.

This is the ultimate realm of the Mountain and River Strategy: a long river of sword energy!
"What a powerful sword spirit! A fourth-grade divine ability can unleash such power!"

Before Zhao Qing's praise had faded, his left hand had already formed a cloud-like seal with his five fingers.

But then the clouds in the sky suddenly seemed to writhe like living things, and actually built a nine-layered cloud wall in front of the River of Knives.

The most peculiar thing is the texture of the cloud wall; it appears as light and soft as cotton, yet when the sword river collides with it, it produces a metallic clang.

After Thunder Blade River broke through six layers of cloud walls in succession, it finally showed signs of weakness.

With a gentle push of his right palm, Zhao Qing caused the remaining three layers of cloud walls to suddenly collapse into crystalline cloud beads, which spun and disappeared into the core of the River of Knives.

Chen Zhian suddenly felt his tiger's mouth go numb, and the Tiger Soul Blade let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain—the cloud bead was actually disintegrating his sword technique!
"The True Heavenly Scripture of Cloud Flow".

"Clouds shroud the towering buildings."

Zhao Qing arrived riding on clouds, with seventy-two cloud vortexes appearing behind him.

"Brother Li, do you know that my technique is derived from the concept of 'the formless heavens'?"

Before he finished speaking, the clouds around Chen Zhian suddenly changed.

On the left, the clouds transformed into countless swords and blades, while on the right, they condensed into the shape of a poisonous python. Furthermore, invisible cloud threads burrowed in through the seven orifices, directly attacking Chen Zhian's primordial spirit.

The [Cloud Illusion Thousand Forms] of the Three Transformations of Cloud Flow is specifically designed to break a cultivator's Dao heart.

"Break!" Chen Zhian's primordial spirit opened its eyes in the Heavenly Gate, and the Killing Heavenly King roared and appeared from behind.

The nine long tails formed from sword energy swept across, tearing the illusion to shreds.

Unexpectedly, the shattered clouds suddenly burst into flames, and the dark blue cloud fire burned the divine image along the tail of the blade—it was the third transformation [Cloud Collapse Sky], turning clouds into fire to burn the sky and boil the sea!
Shen Zongyu, who was watching the battle, was horrified.

The cloud of fire appeared gentle, but each wisp was as heavy as a mountain. He witnessed Chen Zhian's primordial spirit being burned into a hazy, transparent state, and the nine blade tails breaking off one after another.

"In the end, it's a battle between Xuanchi and Xuanfu, even with their profound foundations..." Qiu Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, but his laughter abruptly stopped.

A blinding flash of lightning suddenly erupted in the center of the battlefield.

A sword light suddenly appeared above Chen Zhian's head!
The Divine Profound Heavy Sword flew into the void!

In that instant, the entire sky was illuminated by lightning.

Where the sword's edge sliced ​​through, the clouds and fire scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemy, revealing Zhao Qing's astonished expression.

"What kind of sword is this?"

"Thunder Sword Triple Formation!"

As the sword flashed, Chen Zhian's sword technique was like a dragon rising from the abyss, with purple and white lightning condensing on the sword's edge into a lifelike dragon.

This move, a sword technique obtained from Xu Yuchan, is now imbued with immense power by the divine sword, Shenxuan.

Wherever the thunder dragon passed, the cloud walls crumbled and collapsed. As Zhao Qing retreated hastily, half of his sleeve was torn off, and lightning crackled throughout the clouds. "What a fine sword!" Zhao Qing exclaimed solemnly, his hands forming a hand seal that blossomed like a lotus flower.

All seventy-two cloud vortexes converged into his brow, condensing into a cloud-patterned third eye on his forehead.

Zhao Qing was about to continue using his supernatural powers when he discovered that his true essence was trapped in a quagmire, imprisoned by some kind of force. Even more terrifying was that the cloud energy within his body was spiraling out of control and backfiring.

He suddenly looked up and saw that a white-robed deity had appeared behind Chen Zhian at some point. The deity's face was exactly the same as Chen Zhian's, but he wore a jade crown, held a thunderbolt in his hand, and his eyes were filled with the cold indifference of judging all living beings.

"The Heavenly King chases away evil with his sword light."

As Chen Zhian spoke softly, the lightning in the Divine Physician's hand suddenly transformed into a hundred-foot-long sword of light.

The moment the sword light appeared, the entire sea of ​​clouds trembled.

The cloud-like aura that Zhao Qing was so proud of melted away on its own, like snow meeting the blazing sun, before it even touched him. The power of a first-grade divine ability was truly terrifying!
After killing those forty aristocratic figures on the execution platform in Xuantianjing, Chen Zhian had already comprehended many of the supernatural powers of the Heavenly King Divine Physician.

The most extraordinary of them all is the [Heavenly King Killing Technique]! It collects blood and karmic debts to nourish itself, and its mysteries are beyond comprehension.

In addition, there is another deadly sword technique, namely the [Heavenly King's Sword Light to Pursue Evil]!
At this moment, the divine image of the Heavenly King behind Chen Zhian suddenly manifested a strange phenomenon, transforming into a ferocious Heavenly King with a blue face and fangs, holding a sword and grasping a dragon, which was extremely terrifying.

The sword in the Heavenly King's hand shone brightly, and for a moment the sky was bright, as if light had appeared.

And then add the equally mysterious Divine Sword!
This terrifying sword light was far too powerful, and it aimed directly at Zhao Qing.

"A wide sleeve!" Zhao Qing's expression turned solemn and serious as his left sleeve suddenly swelled a thousandfold.

The sleeves embroidered with cloud patterns are a first-grade Xuanbao bestowed by the Great Qian imperial family. When unfolded, they blot out the sky and completely envelop the thunder dragon and sword light.

At the same time, he held up a luminous cloud bead in his right palm, with what appeared to be swirling nebulae inside.

"Go!" The cloud pearl shot out, splitting into countless shapes in mid-air.

Each bead transformed into a sharply defined ice crystal, enveloping Chen Zhian with a chilling aura.

This is even more terrifying than [Cloud Collapse Sky], [Cloud Burial Stardust], which is specifically designed to break all kinds of supernatural powers.

Despite the overwhelming cloud of crystals, Chen Zhian smiled.

He had somehow acquired an ancient bronze mirror in his left hand, its surface gleaming with a crimson light due to the nine dragon patterns on it.

"Nine Dragons Departing from Fire Mirror, open!"

This treasure, obtained from the Fire Sect Master, has finally revealed its power.

Nine fiery dragons roared out from the mirror, their cries scattering the clouds for ten miles.

Among them, seventy-two Xuanhuo puppets were created, carrying a violent aura that could burn the eight wastelands, vaporizing all the incoming cloud crystals.

The two forces collided, and the remaining dozen or so puppets continued their momentum, heading straight for Zhao Qing's face.

[The Bow of the Chu Emperor!]

At the same time, Chen Zhian drew back the bowstring with his right hand, and his true energy surged wildly to his fingertips.

Nine spirit arrows, formed from true essence, arrived first despite being launched later, their shafts wreathed in the chilling aura of Ling Ye's thunder.

When the arrow pierced the weak point of Luo Zhi's wide sleeves, Zhao Qing's expression finally changed.

The clash of several mysterious treasures triggered a spectacular explosion.

The broken clouds and falling fire rained down, igniting the forests below into a sea of ​​fire.

The onlookers had no choice but to raise their protective true energy, and those with slightly weaker cultivation were even blown away by the shockwave.

Before the dust had settled, Chen Zhian's figure suddenly appeared within three zhang of Zhao Qing.

This distance was already very close for a cultivator. Zhao Qing hastily swung his palm to meet the attack, only to see his opponent's body covered in golden dragon scales—with the Baxia dragon body fully unleashed, every inch of Chen Zhian's flesh and blood contained terrifying power tempered by the dragon vein's spiritual energy.

[Baxia carries the mountain on his back!]

Chen Zhian's elbow strike was like a dragon's horn thrusting out, and the blood and qi in the thirty-six hidden acupoints suddenly erupted.

Zhao Qing's protective cloud armor shattered like paper, and he crashed into the mountain below like a meteorite.

Amidst the roar of the collapsing mountain, Chen Zhian landed gracefully, the Divine Profound Sword hovering in the void.

"Brother Zhao, you flatter me."

Chen Zhian's foundation was revealed, but his aura surged to an unprecedented level, becoming terrifying to the extreme.

He squinted as he looked at the mountain.

The Divine Profound Sword also emitted a golden light, its sword energy shining brightly, pointing directly at the smoke and dust that erupted in the mountains and rivers!

At this moment, all around was silent.

Qiu Yuan and Shen Zongyu remained silent.

The elders of Yong'an City and Anxi City also remained silent.

Those outside the clouds who followed Zhao Qing to destroy Yong'an City were all extremely surprised.

"Who exactly is this person?"

"His surname is Li? There are so many people with the surname Li in the world, yet I've never heard of such a person?"

"Which sect's disciple is it! Or perhaps the powerful Li family of Liangqi! Or maybe the Li family of Taizhuo in Dayu?"

Everyone speculated, but dared not step forward.

This was simply because Chen Zhian's combat prowess was too strong.

"The Xuanchi Realm actually possesses such profound knowledge!" someone exclaimed.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Zhao Qing, deeply embedded in the mountainside, was revealed.

His clothes were torn to shreds at the chest, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, his face was gloomy as he walked out of the smoke and dust.

After taking a few steps, he seemed to sense the terrifying sword light bursting forth from Chen Zhian's Divine Profound Sword!
"Brother Li, I have never seen or heard of your divine appearance before... and your sword light is even more breathtaking."

But what is the name of the divine appraiser? What is the name of the sword light?

Chen Zhian stood in the void, the clouds in the sky already dispersed by the two's supernatural powers.

"My divine physiognomy is called the Heavenly King Divine Physiognomy. Its origin is mysterious, and even I do not know its source."

"My sword light is called the Sword Light of Exorcising Evil..."

“The Heavenly King’s Divine Appearance, the Sword of Pursuing Evil…” Zhao Qing couldn’t help but sigh: “Such a divine appearance, so powerful and inexplicable, I have never seen it on the Divine Appearance Stele before.”

As for this sword light… it's probably much stronger than the crimson lightning sword light you unleashed first; it should be a first-grade divine ability!

First-class divine power...

The highest level of divine power is extremely rare and few in the world.

Even many celestial beings never cultivate a single first-grade divine power in their entire lives.

Only those true figures and true powerhouses on the Riding Whale Stele possess first-grade divine abilities, or even great divine abilities.

And this Li Chao in front of me... is only at the Profound Pool Realm, yet he has also cultivated a First-Rank Divine Ability.

"Moreover, not only this sword light that chases away evil, but also the first sword light that was mixed with blood-red lightning, is probably of extraordinary origin."

But it is unknown whose lineage it is.

Many young people from outside the clouds speculated about it.

Zhao Qing remained silent for a few moments, then finally took a deep breath and burst into laughter.

"What a magnificent display of divine power to slay the evil sword! What a fine Li Chao!" The laughter aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough up several mouthfuls of blood.

But as his true essence flowed through his body and his aura flickered, another cloud of energy transformed into a vast expanse of cloud crystals, which rushed toward Qiu Yuan with lightning speed!
"A bet's a bet, I'll kill him!"
