Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 275 The Demise of the Corpse Raiser

Lu Ping Zhenjun glanced at the Qingyun Sect members and said, "The agreed time has passed, and Zhou Qing is still nowhere to be found."

"I will use the Qingyun Sect as an excuse."

"It's not that I'm disregarding our camaraderie, but you've all been implicated by Zhou Qing."

The coldness in Lu Pingzhenjun's eyes sent chills down the spines of both the sect leader and Mu Zhuosha.

They understood that Lu Ping Zhenjun must have harbored resentment towards the Qingyun Sect because of Zhou Qing, and therefore was eager to seize an excuse to eliminate the Qingyun Sect.

Of course, this is not entirely due to personal dislike.

Lu Ping Zhenjun also wanted to prevent the Qingyun Sect from cultivating disciples similar to Zhou Qing.

Therefore, it would be better to just eradicate it.

Mu Zhuosha said sternly, "True Lord, there's still half a night until our three-day agreement. Do you intend to break it?"

Li Cunyang said, "What, do you really think Zhou Qing can wipe out the corpse-raising people in the remaining half of the night?"

Jin Hui said, "I think she's trying to stall for time."

"There's no need for you to lift a finger, True Lord. We juniors can take them down for you!"

Lu Pingzhenjun closed his eyes slightly and remained silent, but his meaning was already very clear.

Li Cunyang and Jin Hui exchanged a glance and approached the two men, each carrying the golden core of their respective sects.

Next to the Qingyun Sect were several sect leaders from the Nine Sects Alliance.

At this point, everyone was caught in a dilemma.

Out of a sense of alliance, they could not stand idly by while the two members of the Qingyun Sect were besieged.

But if one were to stand up for the Qingyun Sect, it would be to oppose the Hongfa Daoist Temple.

This is something that makes them shudder just thinking about it.

After a moment of silence, the leader of Yanlin Valley stepped forward, walked to Mu Mingsheng and Mu Zhuosha, and said with a smile, "Waiting another half day is not too late."

A cold glint flashed in Li Cunyang's eyes as he said, "Does True Person Yan intend to stand with the Qingyun Sect through thick and thin?"

Master Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "The agreed time is three days, and there is still half a day left. Why not wait a little longer?"

The Three Mysterious Immortals of Chongshui Sect sneered, "What difference does it make whether it's half a day earlier or half a day later? The outcome is already predetermined anyway."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood with Li Cunyang and Jin Hui, putting pressure on the Qingyun Sect.

The atmosphere on the field immediately became tense.

"Wait a minute, what's that noise?"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Only then did everyone realize that a deep and distant sound had begun to echo throughout the world.

The sound came from the deepest part of the earth, as if a terrifying beast was awakening deep within the earth, waiting to break through the soil.

Not long after, everyone felt the ground tremble slightly.

The trembling became more and more intense, and soon turned into a large-scale shaking.

Just as everyone was at a loss, an explosion suddenly erupted from the main peak of Huoquan Mountain in front of them, and a scorching red fountain shot into the sky, splashing into the air before flowing down the mountainside.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Seeing the fiery red lava flowing in their direction, the cultivators disregarded their responsibility to the Qingyun Sect and all roared as they soared into the sky.

Those Qi Refining cultivators who were not proficient in sword control were carried into the air by their respective Foundation Establishment seniors.

Once they reached mid-air, they discovered that half of the main peak of Huoquan Mountain had been completely blasted away by the force of the lava eruption.

As the cultivators marveled at the terrifying power of heaven and earth, what followed shocked them even more.

Centered on Fire Spring Mountain, the earth within a radius of nearly a hundred miles rapidly cracked, and crimson magma flowed from the fissures, as if the earth were bleeding. The cultivators saw the corpse-raising people trying to escape from the magma.

However, the eruption of lava was too rapid, and they were deep underground, too close to the lava, so they had no time to escape.

The vast majority of corpse raisers were directly swallowed by the lava.

Only Golden Core cultivators can resist the heat of magma.

One of the corpse-raising cultivators at the Golden Core stage burst out of the magma and soared into the sky, heading directly towards the location of True Monarch Lu Ping and the leaders of various sects.

Just as everyone was about to stop him and ask him what had happened underground, a scarlet beam of light struck the corpse-raiser from behind, burning him through from his back to his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light swept across, burning the corpse-raising man in two.

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone.

Because of the destruction of his sect, the Corpse Raiser's aura was shaken, and he could not hide his spiritual pressure at all. Everyone could tell that this Corpse Raiser was a strong Golden Core cultivator, and must be the highest level among Corpse Raisers, yet he was killed so easily.

Who exactly is so powerful?

Before anyone could react, a figure emerged from the lava and appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

It was Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing could have come out earlier, but the powerful among the corpse raisers frantically rushed forward to stop him.

He relied on the three sections of withered wood that seemed to spring back to life, and was invincible, killing or driving away several Golden Core cultivators, which is why he has been able to hold out until now.

He now has forty-one dantian in his body, thirty-five of which have been burned, leaving six remaining.

If Lu Ping were to attack him at this moment, he would face extreme danger.

For some reason, Zhou Qing felt no fear whatsoever; instead, he felt an unprecedented surge of arrogance.

His gaze toward Lu Ping showed not only no fear, but also a hint of condescension.

Lu Pingzhenjun realized this and a strong sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart.

Little did he know that Zhou Qing was already at his last gasp.

He saw that the area within a radius of nearly a hundred miles had been swallowed by lava, turning into a scorching lava lake, like a purgatory.

Needless to say, the corpse breeders must have been completely eradicated.

Let alone Golden Core or even Foundation Establishment cultivators, even a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, although not afraid of magma, would consume a lot of spiritual energy if he were to soak in magma for a long time. Once the spiritual energy was exhausted, he could not resist the magma for long by relying solely on his physical body.

The corpse-raising person who hasn't emerged from the lava yet is definitely dead.

To create such a terrifying natural disaster by one person alone is simply beyond divine or supernatural power.

Even Lu Ping was somewhat wary of Zhou Qing.

He dared not make a move until he had a complete understanding of Zhou Qing's background.

Zhou Qing stood on an iron ball, floating in mid-air, with a lava lake behind him that resembled a purgatory.

Every moment, lava continued to erupt from the ground into the air, creating a stark contrast with Zhou Qingchao's unrestrained and carefree demeanor.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all cultivators, becoming a source of inner demons for countless people.

Zhou Qing scanned the faces of the cultivators.

The cultivators were intimidated by the condescending look in his eyes and couldn't help but lower their heads.

Li Cunyang, Jin Hui, and the others turned pale with fear.

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Ping one last time, cupped his hands and smiled, "True Lord Lu Ping, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."

"From then on, West Antarctica was rid of a great scourge."

Lu Pingzhenjun's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist's methods are superb, truly admirable."
