Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 338 Killing is as easy as mowing grass
Zhou Qing was less than a foot away from Ancestor Xuanxuan when the Soul-Chasing Nail caught up with him from behind.

The cultivators saw him suddenly turn around and face the Soul-Chasing Nail, only to have the nail pierce their chests.

Zhou Qing was carried forward by the divine nail for a while, and then flew right in front of Ancestor Xuanxuan.

Ancestor Xuanxuan was overjoyed and laughed, "It has finally fallen into my hands!"

Having said that, he withdrew the Three Thousand Weak Waters, intending to retrieve Zhou Qing.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing straightened up and plunged a divine nail into the lower abdomen of the Xuanxuan Ancestor.

When Ancestor Xuanxuan saw Zhou Qing being pierced by the divine nail, he assumed that Zhou Qing had lost the ability to fight back and was therefore completely unprepared. The divine nail also possessed a very strange power that could easily pierce even the physical body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and thus Zhou Qing was caught off guard.

Zhou Qing felt a chilling power enter the body of the Xuanxuan Ancestor through the divine nail, and then rapidly began to erode the Xuanxuan Ancestor's body.

The venerable Xuanxuan seemed to be aging rapidly, his skin was dehydrated and wrinkled, and his life force was declining.

Zhou Qing was secretly shocked by the power of the Divine Nail. At the same time, he stepped forward and enveloped the entire body of the Profound Ancestor with a large mass of plasma.

Beset by internal and external troubles and utterly defenseless, the Xuanxuan Ancestor was instantly burned to ashes, which were then scattered in all directions by the mountain wind.

Zhou Qing killed the Xuanxuan Ancestor and, without delay, immediately pounced on Tan Haotian, who was not far from the Xuanxuan Ancestor.

Before he even arrived, a dark divine light enveloped Tan Haotian, completely eroding his protective spiritual energy.

Before the dim divine light could dissipate, ten bullets struck Tan Haotian's body.

A tiny bullet, carrying five hundred times the speed of sound, becomes a terrifying weapon of death.

Tan Haotian's protective spiritual energy was eroded, and how could his physical body possibly withstand it? Instantly, ten bullets tore his body apart, turning him into a cloud of blood mist that scattered into the biting cold wind atop the snowy mountain.

As he fired the projectile, Zhou Qing also shot several plasma beams at several nearby Nascent Soul cultivators.

These plasma beams were purely for interference; Zhou Qing didn't expect them to work. As long as they could scare the few people, he would have enough time to break out of the encirclement.

Sure enough, the Nascent Soul cultivators were stunned by the sudden turn of events. When they saw Zhou Qing's terrifying rays coming towards them, they instinctively dodged to the side, allowing Zhou Qing to break out of the encirclement.

The cultivators then realized what had happened.

Master Hui exclaimed in surprise, "How could the Soul-Chasing Nails possibly fail!"

Yun Congzi stared intently at Zhou Qing and exclaimed, "Master, this fiend can change its aura!"

The Nascent Soul cultivators were startled and looked at Zhou Qing. Sure enough, they sensed that his aura was completely different from before.

"How could such a thing happen!"

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd.

For cultivators, a unique aura is equivalent to their life code. If this aura were placed in Zhou Qing's previous world, it would be as if a person had altered their genetic sequence, which would not only be unexpected but also terrifying.

Yun Congzi's expression turned solemn as he exclaimed, "This fiend must not be spared! Fellow Daoists, do not hesitate any longer!"

Apart from the people from the Glazed Dojo, the other cultivators present did not initially have strong killing intent towards Zhou Qing, remaining indifferent. However, after the brief exchange just now, everyone felt a strong chill in their hearts.

They finally accepted Yun Congzi's words from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Qing must not be allowed to live!

The Nascent Soul cultivators immediately chased after Zhou Qing in the direction he had fled.

Zhou Qing's flight speed was not fast, and he was quickly overtaken by the others.

However, Zhou Qing was not alarmed.

He had long known that he could not escape by flying; being caught was only a matter of time. He wasn't afraid of being caught; he was only afraid that they would form the same tacit encirclement as before.

Once the encirclement is complete, the opposing forces can support each other in a tacit manner, preventing him from concentrating his forces on any one person and ultimately wearing him down completely.

Having learned from his previous experience, Zhou Qing suddenly turned around and charged back before the encirclement was complete.

Everyone thought Zhou Qing would be running away in a panic, but to their surprise, he turned around and fought back, throwing them into a complete disarray.

Several cultivators couldn't resist launching an attack, but Zhou Qing immediately seized the opportunity to redirect their attacks to other cultivators.

The unrest immediately escalated.

The more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for Zhou Qing to fish in troubled waters.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhou Qing used the Soul-Chasing Nail to injure two Nascent Soul cultivators. He didn't know which sect they belonged to, but since they were now enemies, he didn't bother to care about their background.

Once the two were corrupted by the power of the divine nail, Zhou Qing decisively used a plasma beam to reap their lives.

When he tried to use the divine nail to stab someone again, he found that the cold power contained in the divine nail had disappeared.

He casually tossed the divine nail into his Dao Heart Space and continued his pursuit of the chaotic crowd.

The twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire sky were chased and forced to flee in all directions by Zhou Qing alone. Wherever he chased them, the cultivators there fled like frightened birds.

Seeing the situation was dire, Yun Congzi was both shocked and furious. He immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please stop using spells and flying swords to attack, lest you be taken advantage of. Instead, let's all manifest our Dharma forms and fight him in close combat."

With Yun Congzi as the organizer, everyone's shock subsided. They put away their flying swords and stopped using spells or other ranged attacks. Instead, they manifested their Dharma forms and approached Zhou Qing together.

This time, Zhou Qing could no longer rely on the enemy's strength; he could only fight against them using his own.

As the twenty-odd towering giants rapidly approached, Zhou Qing could only continuously use the Chaos Divine Light to destroy their Dharma forms while counterattacking with plasma beams and iron ball techniques.

He soon found himself sinking into a quagmire.

The enemy on the other side constantly used their rich combat experience to deplete his energy.

He could not expand his gains any further unless he used gamma rays.

Unfortunately, gamma rays consume too much energy. Even if he burns all the energy in his dantian, he can't fire too many. When he runs out of energy, if the opponent still has a single nascent soul left, he will have little chance to fight back.

Not only was his vital energy severely depleted, but Zhou Qing also felt that his spirit was exhausted to the extreme. The golden light on his body was now only a thin layer, and he would probably soon lose his dual-state ability.

After considering his own situation, Zhou Qing knew that he should not delay any longer.

He fired another plasma beam, forcing the approaching cloud to retreat, and then suddenly fell from the sky to the ground.

The cultivators, unaware of his true nature, dared not give chase and remained suspended in mid-air.

But Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Today I have experienced the methods of the immortals of Zhongzhou. They have not disappointed me. We shall meet again."

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!"

Yun Congzi cried out in alarm and descended rapidly. The other cultivators followed suit and flew towards the ground. Suddenly, a blazing fireball, as hot as the sun, appeared in Zhou Qing's hand.

Everyone had witnessed Zhou Qing's abilities and knew that he was about to fire an extremely high-temperature ray, so they all stopped in mid-air.

Instead of launching the plasma, Zhou Qing abruptly withdrew the magnetic field confinement.

Unrestrained, high-pressure, high-temperature plasma expanded rapidly. What was originally the size of a fist grew into a fireball tens of feet in diameter in the blink of an eye, instantly igniting the nearby forest.
