Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 258 Is this the Great Dao of Fire?
The people of Cloud Mist Valley watched the battle with bated breath. When they saw the Valley Master instantly activate his Heavenly Fire True Body, they understood that the Valley Master was treating Zhou Qing as his greatest enemy.

This heightened their anxiety even further.

If the Valley Master in this state cannot win, then they will have no excuse to shirk their responsibility.

Xiao Xiao felt both nervous and bitter. He was eager for Master Mu to explain the battle situation to him, but when he looked around, he found that Master Mu had disappeared.

……

Zhou Qing instantly entered a state of rejuvenation.

He did not burn the main dantian, but rather one of the twenty-five secondary dantians.

In one phase, his secondary dantian was enough to burn for two quarters of an hour; this was his probing phase.

If he cannot defeat his opponent after burning through one dantian, he can consider entering the second stage.

Previously, when he dealt with the Three Mysterious Immortals, he only entered a certain state.

His all-encompassing network instantly grasped Shao Mingxi's movements.

For Zhou Qing, spiritual energy communication was a terrible medium, its biggest drawback being its slow speed.

However, this is in comparison to electromagnetic wave communication in the previous life.

Compared to the speed of light propagation of electromagnetic waves, the speed of spiritual energy transmission is like that of a tortoise crawling.

Even so, the speed of spiritual energy transmission is still about two hundred times the speed of sound.

Compared to the movement speed of cultivators, the speed of spiritual energy communication is already unbelievably fast.

This speed is the speed at which the Heavenly Net Formation captures Shao Mingxi's movements and transmits them to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was like a spider sitting firmly in the center, and the trajectory that Shao Mingxi had traced in space was clearly visible in his mind.

His mind was rapidly calculating the trajectory and where he would be next.

This is a skill that Zhou Qing gradually acquired during his time away from the mountains.

In the process of fighting against many cultivators, he became more proficient in using the Heavenly Net. He used the Heavenly Net to capture the enemy's movements and quickly constructed a three-dimensional dynamic image of the enemy in his mind, which gradually became his instinct.

Therefore, Zhou Qing grasped Shao Mingxi's movements almost instantly, and then fired an iron pellet at thirty times the speed of sound to meet him.

Speed ​​is a major advantage of Cloud Valley.

Especially for the Cloud Mist Valley cultivators who have mastered the Heavenly Fire True Body, when they attack enemies at the extreme speed of the Heavenly Fire True Body, most enemies do not have time to react.

So when Shao Mingxi launched his attack on Zhou Qing, he seemed to have already foreseen Zhou Qing's chaotic situation.

It's easy to make mistakes when you're busy and flustered.

Then he can seize Zhou Qing's weakness and launch a series of attacks.

But before he could get close to Zhou Qing, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure rapidly approaching.

Before he could react, the shadow struck him in the face.

The Heavenly Fire True Form enhanced his speed, but also reduced his defense.

The iron pellet instantly shattered Shao Mingxi's head into pieces.

The severed head was wriggling and healing when several more iron pellets struck Shao Mingxi's limbs, blasting them off.

The people from Cloud Mist Valley watching from afar all gasped in surprise.

They saw the Valley Master attack Zhou Qing with his Heavenly Fire True Form, and they thought that even if he couldn't defeat Zhou Qing directly, he would definitely have the upper hand.

This reflects their confidence in their own unique skills.

For thousands of years, Cloud Mist Valley has relied on the unique skills of the Heavenly Fire True Body to occupy a place in the Western Continent and become a Golden Core sect that controls thousands of miles.

No Golden Core sect could match their speed. Faced with the Heavenly Fire True Body's rapid attacks, all sects would be caught off guard, struggling to maintain the situation before they could even think of a way to retaliate.

Zhou Qing, however, seemed unaffected by the high speed and directly counterattacked, shattering the Valley Master's true form. This completely overturned the common sense of the people in Cloud Mist Valley.

Zhou Qing did not continue the attack, but stood proudly in the air, waiting for Shao Mingxi's shattered body to turn into a ball of flame, merge in the air, and then return to its original state.

After returning to normal, Shao Mingxi's true form had a significantly lower body heat level, indicating that although his true form could be restored, it was not immune to attacks.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "The Cloud Mist Valley's unique skills are indeed superb."

Shao Mingxi said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhou is truly unfathomable."

He knew all too well how astonishing Zhou Qing's performance had been.

Ordinary people might only notice Zhou Qing's explosively powerful iron balls, but Shao Mingxi, who is extremely sensitive to speed, understands best how terrifying Zhou Qing truly is.

He used the maximum speed of his Heavenly Fire True Body to go from circling around Zhou Qing to rushing straight towards him without stopping. He only needed two or three breaths to get close to Zhou Qing.

In that very short time, Zhou Qing accurately located himself and struck him with an iron ball.

This shows that Zhou Qing had a firm grasp on his actions from beginning to end.

The speed of the Heavenly Fire True Body was rendered ineffective against Zhou Qing.

Shao Mingxi quickly came up with a solution.

Zhou Qing's attack method was a powerful iron ball.

When the target is singular, the iron ball is naturally invincible.

However, if there are enough targets, the iron pellets become ineffective.

He wanted to see how Zhou Qing would respond to this next move.

With a thought, Shao Mingxi summoned countless firebirds that pounced on Zhou Qing.

Fire Crow Formation!
Thousands upon thousands of fire crows surged toward Zhou Qing like a raging torrent.

Zhou Qing was amazed, thinking to himself, "No wonder he's an expert in using fire."

He had once witnessed the Crimson Fire Sect Master, True Person Xu Yan, using the Fire Crow Formation; at that time, he had only summoned a few hundred fire crows.

Of course, this is partly because the Crimson Fire Sect's spells tend to concentrate power, so they don't pay much attention to spells that disperse firepower, but it is enough to show the Heavenly Fire True Body's superb control over fire-type spells.

After all, with a wave of the hand, one can summon tens of thousands of fire crows. Even if each one's power is dispersed, the resulting torrent of fire crows is enough to be considered a top-tier fire spell.

Zhou Qing examined the Fire Crow Formation with great interest, seemingly unconcerned about this powerful spell.

From Shao Mingxi to the various elders of Cloud Mist Valley, everyone was indignant at Zhou Qing's dismissive attitude and secretly hoped that the Fire Crow Formation would burn Zhou Qing to ashes.

Shao Mingxi sneered inwardly, thinking that even if the Fire Crow Formation could not completely defeat Zhou Qing, as long as he could expose a weakness, he could take advantage of the situation and deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Qing from within the Fire Crows.

Shao Mingxi hid himself among thousands of fire crows, all rushing towards Zhou Qing. The fire crows were just a smokescreen; his real killing move was himself.

In the blink of an eye, the fire crows had already swooped down in front of Zhou Qing.

Shao Mingxi was ready and eager to make his move.

Zhou Qing then lazily began to make his move.

A plasma beam poured out from Zhou Qing's palm, sweeping away the thousands of fire crows.

Shao Mingxi, buried deep within the fire crow, was directly cut in two by the plasma beam.

The moment the plasma beam penetrated deep into his body, Shao Mingxi felt an unimaginable and terrifying high temperature.

That was a temperature that no fire-attribute cultivator could even dream of.

In an instant, Shao Mingxi seemed to glimpse the Great Dao.
