Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 324 Reborn
The starving ghost jumped up from the ground, pointed hard at his throat, but couldn't utter a sound.

The Demon Lord looked down into his throat and saw something wriggling inside, stretching his throat twice its normal size.

The things inside seemed to be crawling out.

Before long, the starving ghost's mouth began to bulge.

The Demon Lord saw several pure white fingers emerge from the throat of the starving ghost, then a whole hand, and then another hand.

The scene before them was so bizarre that the Demon Lord didn't even think of rescuing his subordinates for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he saw two hands pull outwards, tearing the starving ghost's entire body in two, revealing a hole about three feet in diameter in the original spot.

On the other side of the hole was an excessively young cultivator, sitting on a cliff face, looking down at him.

The Demon Lord's mind jolted, and he said, "Zhou Qing!"

He had never seen the person in front of him before, but he immediately realized who he was.

Zhou Qing said, "This is just a minor punishment. If you dare to scheme against me again, I will personally go to Demon Cloud Ridge next time and make your Demonic Path headquarters a living hell."

"you wanna die!"

The Demon Lord roared, and his skin suddenly turned deathly pale. His face, which had resembled that of a middle-aged man, suddenly transformed into that of a gaunt and shrunken old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest was hunched over, exuding an aura of death, and his eyes were empty, as if he could not see anything at all.

Yet the aura emanating from him was unimaginably powerful.

Its small size seemed to fill the entire Demon Cave.

The elderly Taoist appeared and reached out to take it from Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing felt as if a huge mountain was crashing into him.

Without a second thought, he immediately focused all his energy on igniting his dantian, emitting a gamma ray, and then quickly closed the opening.

The elderly Taoist priest plummeted from the sky, his eyes still vacant. He raised his hand and discovered that his right palm had been cleaved in two by an unimaginable force. However, both halves remained attached to their wrists, and deep within the withered skin, the jade-like palm bones emitted a faint white light.
The old Taoist priest's face suddenly showed a hint of pain, then his pale complexion became somewhat rosy, and his appearance quickly returned to that of the Demon Lord, who was around forty years old.

The Demon Lord's expression was a mixture of horror and pain.

The Corpse Demon will no longer experience pain, but the Demon Lord, who is one with the Corpse Demon, will absorb all of the Corpse Demon's pain.

Therefore, he could clearly feel that in that split second, Zhou Qing pointed at the Corpse Demon, and then the Corpse Demon's palm was cleaved open.

Over the years, he had only encountered the Corpse Demon being injured once, when he infiltrated the Qingxu Dao Palace and was attacked by the Qing Shuang Sword. The Corpse Demon's chest was slashed open with a long gash. Since then, as long as Old Monster Lu was in the Qingxu Dao Palace, he dared not cross the line.

And then came today.

Zhou Qing's finger cleaved open the Corpse Demon's palm.

The power of this finger strike was far less than that of the previous strike from the Azure Frost Sword, yet it already surpassed the strength of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

What exactly is that thing?
The Demon Lord thought to himself with lingering fear.

……

"Big Brother!"

"Zhou Qing!"

Nie Yunxi and Mu Zhuosha rushed forward in alarm to support Zhou Qing, only to find that his body was limp, as if he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Looking at his face, it was as pale as paper, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

Both of them were panicked. In their minds, Zhou Qing had never suffered such a serious injury before.

Zhou Qing waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, don't make a fuss!"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes.

The decision to attack the Demon Lord this time was twofold: first, to intimidate him and make him understand that they already knew he was behind it all, so that he would know to restrain himself in the future; and second, to test the strength of the top experts in the Central Continent so that they could be prepared.

He can call in and close the channel at will, so he shouldn't pose much of a threat.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the Demon Lord's strength.

The Demon Lord and the Corpse Demon are essentially one entity; attacking the Demon Lord is equivalent to attacking the Corpse Demon.

The Corpse Demon threw a punch at him, which he deflected with gamma rays, but a significant amount of the punch's force still leaked out.

If he hadn't taken various defensive measures, it would have been very difficult to catch that punch; even so, he was still seriously injured.

The Dao Yun Peak beneath his feet was also severely damaged, with half of the mountain collapsing and the spiritual pool at the summit pouring down, turning into a vast flood.

Fortunately, the place where the Dharma was being propagated was inhabited by practitioners, so they were not afraid of being harmed by the flood.

Zhou Qing said, "Sister Yun, Senior Uncle, you should quickly go up and down Daoyun Peak to check on the casualties and make proper arrangements for the injured and the wounded. I will go to treat my injuries now."

Mu Zhuosha said seriously, "Should we temporarily leave the Dharma propagation center and find another place to hide?"

Zhou Qing understood that he was worried about the enemy coming after him.

He laughed and said, "Don't worry, the enemy won't dare to come."

Although he was seriously injured, he did not show any fear. The Demon Lord probably does not know his strength or weakness and would not dare to invade him easily.

The only thing to worry about is the Qingxu Dao Palace.

However, since the Demon Lord has a way to restrain the founder of Qingxu Dao Palace, the other party may not be able to get away and attend to this side in a short time.

It's not too late to make plans after he's fully recovered.

However, he cannot simply wait passively.

He knows too little about the situation in Zhongzhou. It would be best to send someone to Zhongzhou to find out why the founder of Qingxu Dao Palace is being held back, so that he can make preparations in advance.

Zhou Qing immediately ordered Nie Yunxi to go find Bai Mei and have him send someone to Zhongzhou to investigate the situation. He then instructed Mu Zhuosha to be responsible for settling the demonic cultivators who were originally working at Daoyun Peak and to relocate them to other spiritual veins.

It's still too dangerous around him.

As his enemies grow stronger, so too will the dangers around him increase.

Those powerful enemies, even if they only reveal a little of their power, would be enough to crush ordinary cultivators.

After arranging everything, Zhou Qing immersed himself in the spirit pool, which was now only half full and was pouring down the mountain, and began to circulate his qi to recover from his injuries.

Zhou Qing was shaken by the force of the punch, and his bones and internal organs were damaged to varying degrees. He thought it would take at least half a month to recover, but unexpectedly, not long after, he felt as if insects were crawling all over his body, and endless vitality suddenly emerged from every corner of his body.

His body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. This speed of recovery was astonishing, not only relative to his current Foundation Establishment Level 4 realm, but also relative to most Golden Core cultivators.

In just a day and a half, Zhou Qing felt that his injuries had completely healed and his body had returned to normal.

Zhou Qing looked down at his body and found that his skin was becoming more and more radiant and fair, almost like that of a newborn baby. Under his skin, there seemed to be a faint flow of light.

It seems that his body is indeed undergoing a transformation, which is related to both his special daily cultivation method and his continuous development of his dantian.
