Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 337 Seven Star Soul-Chasing Nails

Zhou Qing had never experienced such an intense battle.

In terms of sheer strength, the guests at the various dojos and palaces before us are worlds apart from the corpse demons previously commanded by the Demon Lord.

But his battle with the Corpse Demon was over in the blink of an eye, and even though they were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, he could close the hole at will.

Now, surrounded by Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the pressure he faces is incomparable to what it used to be.

Zhou Qing maximized his ability to distract himself, assigning a portion of his mind to each Nascent Soul True Monarch to specifically monitor their movements.

Zhou Qing felt like a tightrope walker, constantly on the verge of collapse.
Although he had long ago been able to devote a great deal of his energy to controlling the iron pellets.

Controlling iron pellets and keeping watch on Nascent Soul level experts are not even in the same league.

Zhou Qing kept himself in a state of near-exhaustion, constantly creating holes to redirect attacks aimed at him and redirect them to the enemy's companions.

Fortunately, the golden light around him is now quite thick; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to withstand such intense use.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs were, after all, powerful figures who had roamed the world, each possessing top-notch understanding of combat. They immediately recognized Zhou Qing's abilities.

This guy seems to have the power to manipulate space, and can transfer enemy attacks to different spaces at will.

Their fight against Zhou Qing was tantamount to infighting among their own people.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs had never heard of such an ability before, and they were all stunned for a moment.

But someone quickly came up with a solution.

Master Huishi of Dajue Temple called out, "Fellow practitioners, please stop! Let me use the Seven Star Soul-Chasing Nails to deal with him!"

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who knew the power of his Seven Star Soul-Chasing Nails were immediately invigorated. They let out a long roar and retreated, giving Master Hui space to unleash his power, while simultaneously surrounding Zhou Qing from a distance, preventing him from escaping.

When Zhou Qing heard Master Hui mention the Seven Star Soul-Chasing Nails, although he didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was, seeing how seriously Master Hui was taking it, he guessed that it must be an extremely powerful treasure, and his heart immediately tightened.

His mind raced, trying to create an opening and cause chaos among the Nascent Soul cultivators to interfere with Master Hui's spellcasting. However, he found that the cultivators had already retreated far away and were on high alert, preventing him from launching a sneak attack.

The reactions of the crowd made him realize that dealing with these people would be extremely difficult without using gamma rays.

The reason why he easily killed Ouyang Qian and cut off Tan Haotian's hand was because he took advantage of the surprise.

When these Nascent Soul True Monarchs roused themselves and supported each other, and he tried to severely injure one of them, others would immediately attack and harass him, preventing him from concentrating.

However, when dealing with a Nascent Soul level expert, he would be in immediate danger if he lost focus.

Seeing that tricks were no longer effective, Zhou Qing simply stopped to see what kind of treasure the Seven Star Soul-Chasing Nails of the old monk Hui Shi really were.

Then the old monk took out a long, black nail from his robes. It was made of some unknown material, neither gold nor stone, and was as long as a child's arm.

The old monk Hui held the long nail in both hands, chanting incantations. After a moment, the nail floated up from his hands, turned into a black light, and shot towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qingyuan sensed a chilling aura emanating from the long nails, and thus took precautions.

He used the same trick again, and when the long nail flew in front of him, he suddenly moved it to Guo Songshou's face.

Guo Songshou was startled and was about to dodge when he saw the Soul-Chasing Nail suddenly stop in front of him, then turn and continue to stab at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing moved the nail several more times, but each time it returned, as if the nail possessed a spirit and could remember him. Considering the word "soul chaser" in the nail's name, Zhou Qing immediately understood its principle.

These divine nails can detect a person's aura, and they will continue to strike unless the person is killed.

Judging from the chilling aura emanating from the divine nail, Zhou Qing could guess that if someone were pierced even a little by the nail, they would probably be unable to recover.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up with envy. He thought to himself, "This is truly a treasure. If I could acquire it and refine it afterward, it would be a wonderful protective item."

Now that it has locked onto me, I don't know how to escape its pursuit.

As Zhou Qing pondered this, he casually moved it twice more, and the divine nail flew back each time.

Seeing that Zhou Qing could no longer shift his attack, the Nascent Soul cultivators were overjoyed. They all held back, fearing that Zhou Qing would find an opportunity in the chaos. They waited for Zhou Qing to be pierced by the divine nail before swarming him and beating this fearsome junior genius to a pulp, leaving him no chance to recover.

Seeing that the divine nail continued to persist, Zhou Qing considered raising the plasma beam to its limit temperature to try and destroy it, but he was also reluctant to do so. However, if he did not destroy it, he did not know how to deal with it.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he cursed himself for being so foolish. How could he not even remember his own methods?

That's not his fault. As his methods became more and more diverse, he used his most powerful moves the most, and he had long since discarded the lesser techniques.

At this moment, he racked his brains and finally remembered that he had the simplest way to deal with the Soul-Chasing Nail.

Upon realizing this idea, Zhou Qing also came up with a strategy to break the deadlock.

So when the divine nail flew back again, Zhou Qing stopped trying to move it and instead flew around and dodged within the encirclement of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yun Congzi's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "This fiend is finished! Fellow Daoists, be careful he breaks through!"

All the Nascent Soul cultivators perked up.

Zhou Qing circled around in the encirclement for a while, then suddenly flew straight towards Ancestor Xuanxuan.

Zhou Qing's flight speed was not fast, or rather, compared to these Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it was extremely slow. However, the Divine Nail's flight speed was like thunder and lightning, much faster than that of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

As Zhou Qing charged toward Ancestor Xuanxuan, the divine nail rapidly closed the distance between them, seemingly about to pierce Zhou Qing's back at any moment. Yet, Zhou Qing made no attempt to defend himself and continued charging toward Ancestor Xuanxuan regardless.

Master Hui shouted, "Fellow Daoist Xuanxuan, be careful! He's going to fight like a cornered beast!"

Ancestor Xuanxuan laughed loudly and said, "You want to launch a full-force attack on me before you die? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Having said that, he greeted Zhou Qing.

He knew Zhou Qing was powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't easily defeat him. If he could just hold him off for a moment, the Soul-Chasing Nail would pierce his backside, and then Zhou Qing would be at his mercy.

He wanted to personally reduce this guy to ashes to vent his anger!
The Mysterious Ancestor used the Three Thousand Weak Waters as a buffer; any spell would be worn down or delayed in the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

From the palm of the Profound Ancestor, azure, water-like spiritual energy spread towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing felt as if he were trapped in a viscous liquid, and every step was incredibly difficult.

However, the Divine Nail was deliberately spared by the Mysterious Ancestor and continued to approach him at an extremely high speed.
