Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 212: The Beggar Version Unleashes All Its Tactics
Interference from the plasma beam abruptly halted their ascent.

Just as the two were about to continue their escape, a sense of unease suddenly arose in their hearts once again.

Without thinking, they followed their instincts and dived down.

A plasma beam swept over their heads.

If the two hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been beheaded by now.

The two immediately realized that if they dared to continue turning their backs to Zhou Qing and fleeing recklessly, they would surely be killed by the terrifying rays.

Even a premonition at the Golden Core level doesn't always work.

If they fail even once, they will perish.

The two quickly returned to the ground, keeping a close eye on Zhou Qing in case he launched the terrifying attack he had just seen.

Immediately afterwards, the two were greatly shocked and almost lost their composure.

Centered on Zhou Qing, a fierce wind raged within a radius of several dozen feet, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if the world had entered its apocalypse.

Zhou Qing was like a god who controlled thunder and lightning, high above and inviolable.

Elder Shadow said in a deep voice, "Young Master, the situation has come to this point, and we cannot resolve it peacefully. You should leave quickly, and I will hold him off."

As he spoke, thick black smoke billowed from his body.

The black smoke swirled at his severed arm, and in the blink of an eye, the arm grew back. Then his body swelled up, transforming into a giant nearly two zhang tall with iron-blue skin.

Bai Yujing's eyes reddened, and he shouted sharply, "Demon Slayer, you!"

The Shadow Elder's voice boomed, "We cannot stop him without this. Once the Demonic Descent is used, there will be no escape. Young Master, hurry and leave. Do not let your subordinate die in vain."

Bai Yujing gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I will definitely avenge you in the future and storm the Qingyun Sect!"

After saying that, he turned his back to his shadow and disappeared into the distance.

Zhou Qing tore through the air, creating a vacuum environment, and accelerated the iron pellet to a hundred times the speed of sound.

Five iron pellets shot after Bai Yujing's retreating figure.

The demon's shadow flashed, trying to block the attack for Bai Yujing.

Four iron balls struck his massive body in succession, blasting four large holes in him.

One iron pellet still slipped through the net and struck Bai Yujing's right shoulder, blasting his right arm and half of his body to pieces.

Bai Yujing fell from mid-air.

A sharp shriek came from high above.

Bi Du rushed over, caught Bai Yujing, and flew away into the distance.

The demonic shadow was relieved and turned to face Zhou Qing, saying, "Zhou Qing, the cultivation world has never seen a figure like you before."

"Throughout history, there have been many geniuses and powerful individuals, but their strength can be traced. However, your strength is unfathomable. Now you are the number one enemy of my demonic path, and you will never be able to sit still again."

Zhou Qing said indifferently, "There's no need for a defeated opponent to make threats; it only makes them a laughingstock."

Have you ever seen a truly strong person afraid of someone else's threats?

Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to Bai Yujing's departure.

Such an opponent is dispensable to him; once he leaves, so be it.

His attention was now completely drawn to the shadow of the demon, and the changes in the shadow aroused his curiosity.

He sensed a familiar aura from the shadow of the demon, an aura he had felt in the Dao Heart World.

Zhou Qing had long noticed that the Dao Heart World was connected to a vast world, in which there was an incomparably powerful force.

Those forces were brewing and churning, constantly threatening the world, yet they had not yet descended.

The shadow of the demon emanating from it carries the aura of those powers.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I see."

"No wonder the Immortal Path is so wary of you. Not all people in the Immortal Path are good people. Some of them may even be more cruel than those in the Demonic Path, but the Immortal Path can tolerate them. Only you in the Demonic Path are hated by everyone. So that's the crux of the problem." Shadow roared and charged towards Zhou Qing.

After the demon descended, the shadow seemed to have undergone a change in the very essence of life. He seemed to have become some kind of divine being that transcended mortal life, able to command spiritual energy without any magic.

With a mere thought, spiritual energy condensed and transformed into various spells, pouring towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stood firm and unmoved.

With a single tremor of his invisible magnetic field, countless bolts of lightning erupted within a radius of several dozen feet, tearing all the spells to shreds.

Then a plasma beam was fired, striking the Demon Shadow in the chest.

The demon's shadow's bluish-gray skin sizzled as it was burned by the terrifying heat.

After several breaths, the plasma beam finally burned through his chest, turning his heart inside into charcoal.

But the demonic shadow seemed oblivious and continued to charge towards Zhou Qing.

His chest wound was healing at a visible rate.

The demonic shadow instantly closed in on Zhou Qing within a radius of ten feet.

Countless sparks flew as they struck him.

The demonic shadow roared and froze in place.

Immediately afterwards, five iron pellets traveling at 100 times the speed of sound struck him, sending him flying more than 20 feet away.

The demonic shadow charged forward in vain, only to inflict numerous wounds on itself.

The wounds on the shadow's body healed rapidly.

However, Zhou Qing noticed that the speed at which his injuries were healing was slowing down.

Zhou Qing wanted to study the effects of the Demon Summoning Technique, so he attacked the Demon Summoning Shadow with iron pellets, plasma beams, and lightning.

The demonic shadow could only passively take the hits and could not threaten Zhou Qing at all. Even if it rushed in front of Zhou Qing, it would be immediately frozen by lightning and then knocked away by the iron ball.

The shadow could only roar in anger.

A gust of wind rushed closer.

Two figures descended near Zhou Qing and the Shadow Battlefield.

It turned out to be Aoki Jinshi and Mu Zhuosha.

Master Qingmu went to hunt down Bi Du and Bai Yujing, but failed to catch them. Instead, he encountered Mu Zhuosha who had arrived.

Mu Zhuosha was carrying the dying Liang Shaowen in her hands.

The two stood aside, watching Zhou Qing and the Demon Shadow's battle, their hearts filled with shock.

The battle between the two was so intense that they could hardly believe that this was the fighting power Zhou Qing could display.

Aoki Masato and Mu Zhuosha couldn't help but draw themselves into the battle.

They figured that even if they faced that demonic monster, they would struggle greatly, and if they were not careful, they might even be injured by it. But Zhou Qing was able to completely suppress the monster, leaving it with no chance to fight back.

The techniques Zhou Qing displayed in the battle left the two of them in awe.

Zhou Qing's domain seemed to exist within a radius of several dozen feet, where he could summon lightning with a wave of his hand, and terrifying high-temperature rays shot out like they were free, far more terrifying than any fire-based spell they had ever seen.

The incredible speed of the iron pellets made them completely unable to capture their form.

If they encountered such iron pellets, they would probably only be able to passively take the beating.

How did this guy even do that?!
After about 15 minutes, the aura of the demonic shadow finally weakened. It began to lose its ability to heal quickly, and its body slowly shrank, the iron-blue color fading away.

Zhou Qing also stopped attacking, watching as the shadow's skin withered and melted, eventually turning into a stinking skeleton.

Zhou Qing nodded to himself.

The effect of the demonic spell on humans in the demonic path only lasts for half a quarter of an hour.
