Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 170 Unreasonably Strong
The principle behind the Five-Colored Divine Light is to compress spiritual energy to the extreme, completely disrupting the normal order and turning it into pure, violent energy.

This chaotic surge of spiritual energy, devoid of all order, is the nemesis of all spells and formations.

The loosely structured spiritual energy of the phoenix in Lü Cenzhong was almost powerless against the five-colored divine light.

The five-colored divine light was like a sharp sword, cleaving the phoenix in two.

Lu Cenzhong felt the flames in front of him suddenly split in two, and a dazzling light shot straight at his face.

At the critical moment, Lü Cenzhong dodged to the side.

The five-colored divine light did not strike his face directly, but instead hit his shoulder.

Lu Cenzhong's protective magic was like snow that had been doused with hot water; it was instantly eroded.

The violent energy of the five-colored divine light shattered his shoulder.

Lu Cenzhong let out a muffled groan and flew backward.

Only then did Lü Qingzhu's warning reach his ears.

As soon as Lü Qingzhu issued the warning, she ran towards Lü Cenzhong.

Before his body hit the ground, Lü Qingzhu caught him and then soared into the sky.

The shock from the five-colored divine light was so intense that even though he knew Zhou Qing had only cultivated for a little over two years and his cultivation level wouldn't be very high, he didn't dare to test him further and instead chose to flee.

He was now filled with a mix of disbelief and awe.

How could this happen?
When planning to eliminate Zhou Qing, they considered various scenarios and prepared contingency plans for them.

For example, if Mu Zhuosha cannot be transferred away, then the plan will be canceled; if Chen Qingxuan and Lu Qiushui have not left the sect, then more people will be sent to stop them, and so on.

They considered all sorts of scenarios, but they didn't take Zhou Qing himself seriously at all.

Yes, Zhou Qing's talent in formations is extraordinary.

But that's useless; array formation talent doesn't directly equal strength.

If there were no other experts around, killing Zhou Qing would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But things took an unexpected turn.

Unexpectedly, they failed because of a possibility they had completely underestimated.

What's even more terrifying is that he still doesn't understand the underlying principles of Zhou Qing's methods, which are so ruthless that they are completely unreasonable.

Such methods are never seen in the cultivation world.

Lü Qingzhu dared not linger and quickly returned to where Wei Xing's body was.

He carried the wounded Lü Cenzhong in one hand and Wei Xing's corpse in the other, and fled swiftly towards Qingyun Mountain.

Zhou Qing looked up at Lü Qingzhu's soaring figure and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He can't fly yet, which is a major drawback; otherwise, Lü Qingzhu wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.

Of course, he could use his magnetic field ability to control metal and fly, but the speed and agility of this method were completely incomparable to the flight of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Only after Lü Qingzhu's figure completely disappeared into the horizon did Zhou Qing turn his gaze away and head towards Ziyun Mountain.

There was nothing to regret about not being able to keep Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong; he never intended to keep them in the first place.

He could have an explanation for killing Wei Xing by surprise.

He only killed a thief who coveted his talisman; who would have thought that the thief was the head of the Wei family? This is completely a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple...

People in the sect certainly won't believe what I'm saying, but that doesn't matter, as long as I have an explanation.

Furthermore, with Wang Xiaohu as a witness, it can be confirmed that they only knew of Wu Xingyun as a woman and had never seen any Wei family head.

This matter can only be left as it is.

But if he killed Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong, there would be no way to explain it. So even if he could keep them, he could only choose to let them go.

Anyway, he has achieved his goal. From now on, no petty person in the sect or affiliated family will dare to make a move against him.

A Qi Refining cultivator who can swiftly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator—that title is probably more intimidating than the vast majority of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Zhou Qing raced through the mountains and forests.

His powerful physical strength allowed him to fly more than ten feet with a light step, and he returned to Ziyun Mountain in no time.

Today was the first time he had killed someone, and it was someone who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

He not only killed one Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also severely injured another, and scared away yet another.

This is probably an unprecedented feat in the entire cultivation world of Qionghua Continent.

He had expected to be excited and restless, but to his surprise, when he got home and sat down at his desk, he remained as calm as ever.

Zhou Qing smiled nonchalantly and continued to study his formation.

Fighting and killing in the martial arts world were merely a diversion from life; diligent study, deep thought, and tireless practice were the main themes of his life.

The next morning, while he was taking a walk in the bamboo forest, Yu Liangmou descended from the sky.

This senior uncle, known for his brilliant strategies, was always quite shrewd and unfathomable. But today, he looked terrified, his heart churning like a raging storm, so much so that he couldn't even fully contain his spiritual pressure, which swirled around him like hurricanes.

"Why is my uncle so panicked?"

Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

Yu Liangmou came to his side, circled him a few times, carefully examined him, and then said, "You still want to ask me what you did? Do I have to tell you?"

Zhou Qing smiled but did not respond.

Yu Liangmou said, "Lü Qingzhu, along with the head of the Transmission Hall and several elders, just requested an audience with the Sect Leader. He said that you killed the Wei family head and severely injured the Lü family head..."

"Is this true?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "That's true."

Yu Liangmou gasped in astonishment and said, "How is this possible? How did you do that?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "They're just ordinary formations, nothing to mention."

"Ordinary formation?"

Yu Liangmou said with a wry smile, "You really dare to say that."

He did not doubt Zhou Qing's statement. In fact, he had been guessing on the way here that if Zhou Qing really did it, he must have used an array.

Yu Liangmou said solemnly, "The sect leader wants you to go to Zichen Palace. This matter has too great an impact and I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

"If the sect intends to protect the head of a subordinate family who has been killed, all the subordinate families will likely be outraged and oppose it. At that time, even the sect leader will not be able to suppress it."

"If you want to get away unscathed, you have no choice but to deny it and wait until your senior sister comes back."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Uncle-Master, rest assured, I have my own explanation."

Seeing his determined expression, Yu Liangmou nodded and said, "That's good, let's set off then."

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing said, "Before we set off, Uncle-Master, please accompany me to pick up someone."

Zhou Qing rode on Yu Liangmou's flying sword and rushed to Wang Xiaohu's house.

Wang Xiaohu followed Zhou Qing's instructions and stayed at home without going out, but he couldn't help but wonder how Zhou Qing planned to deal with Wu Xingyun.

Hearing Zhou Qing knock on the door, he hurriedly went to open it. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he found Yu Liangmou standing behind him, so he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.
