Chapter 342 The First Battle
"To prevent the common people from suffering, we have no choice but to join forces to annihilate you."

Half-Buddha said, his half-wooden face suddenly showing an extremely furious expression, "You have enough to be proud of for troubling the four of us to take action."

"Great Buddha's Hand!"

Half of Maitreya raised his left palm and pressed it down on Zhou Qing's head.

Zhou Qing felt the entire sky darken, as if the sky was enveloped by the great monk's palm.

Zhou Qing dodged and retreated quickly, but found that a binding force arose from the palm of the Buddha, fixing him in place. He tried his best, but could not move more than a few feet.

His magnetic field circulated rapidly, and a dark divine light rose from his body, instantly releasing the Buddha's palm from its restraints.

The chaotic divine light did not stop and pierced towards the Buddha's palm above.

The divine light struck the Buddha's palm, creating only a slight ripple before quickly dissipating.

Zhou Qing was secretly alarmed. Seeing the Buddha's palm about to press down on his head, he retreated quickly while throwing out all the dozens of Thunder Dragon Horn Iron Balls.

The iron pellets, traveling at five hundred times the speed of sound, all struck the Buddha's palm, finally bringing it to a stop. Zhou Qing dodged out of the palm's range and found that the half-Buddha was still sitting cross-legged, not giving chase.

The venerable monk held up his enormous hand, which was about an acre in diameter, in front of him and laughed, "Is this the Iron Ball Technique that made you famous, young benefactor? It is indeed incredibly powerful."

"It's a pity that he hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage; he's just an ant, a child's game."

Zhou Qing quickly calmed down from the initial shock and tension. He felt the cold gaze of his own Dao Heart watching him, which made all the random thoughts of facing the enemy that naturally arose in his heart disappear.

He focused all his attention on analyzing the situation.

Zhou Qing finally understood the power of the Nascent Soul stage, a power that was particularly difficult for him to handle.

His skills, which were originally invincible against Nascent Soul experts, became useless against Deity Transformation experts.

His chaotic divine light could easily cleave through the nascent soul's Dharma form, but it was powerless against the Dharma body of a transformed deity.

Because the Dharma form is an illusory form, it is the change in external spiritual energy caused by the nascent soul within the body.

The Chaos Divine Light has a special effect on spiritual energy, so it can easily cleave through it.

The Dharma Body of the Transformation God is the true body that emerges from the body after the Nascent Soul has reached maturity.

He could cleave through the illusory spiritual energy avatar, but he couldn't cleave through the opponent's nascent soul.

The Iron Ball Technique is even more useless. An iron ball traveling at five hundred times the speed of sound is naturally invincible against a physical body, but its power is far from sufficient against a Dharma body the size of a mountain.

It’s really difficult to handle.

But the more difficult it is, the more interesting it becomes, isn't it?
How can one forge their own true gold without being struck by a heavy hammer?

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Qing's mind in an instant, when he suddenly felt a sharp, piercing aura behind him.

He suddenly turned around and found that, in order to avoid the Buddha's palm, he had retreated to a distance not far from Dao Yi Sword Immortal of the Emei Mountain Sword Sect.

Dao Yi's Heavenly Sword Dharma Body trembled slightly, and a sword aura several meters long flew over.

Zhou Qing quickly opened his Dao Heart World, intending to shift Dao Yi's sword energy, but was suddenly startled.

To redirect an enemy's attack using the Dao Heart World, the enemy's attack needs to be redirected to the Dao Heart World, and then sent back to the real world by the Dao Heart World.

In principle, the Dao Heart World would face the danger of being attacked during this process, but the process is very short and the enemy has a hard time seizing the opportunity, so Zhou Qing has never encountered this problem in the past.

However, this time, when Dao Yi's sword energy entered the Dao Heart World, before Zhou Qing could transfer it, it suddenly transformed into hundreds or thousands of sword energies, wreaking havoc in the Dao Heart World.

Instantly, many terrifying cracks appeared on the earth of the Dao Heart World.

Zhou Qing felt a sharp pain in his head and immediately shut down his Dao Heart World. Dao Yi Sword Immortal said, "It is said that you have the supernatural power of spatial transformation, which can teleport enemy attacks. It seems that this is your secret technique."

"I sensed the aura of the Demon Abyss within it just now, so it seems you are indeed a demon."

"In that case, it is our duty to eliminate evil and uphold justice."

Having said that, Dao Yi Sword Immortal's body suddenly grew ten feet tall against the wind, instantly transforming into a body the size of a small mountain. He held the Heavenly Sword in his hand, pointed it at Zhou Qing, and said, "Fellow Daoists, how about I slay this demon?"

Half-Buddha laughed and said, "Since you have such an interest, we will naturally do our part."

Zi Yun frowned slightly; he wanted to kill Zhou Qing himself.

Zhou Qing has offended Qingxu Dao Palace several times. Only by personally killing him can Qingxu Dao Palace wash away its shame.

Ziyun said, "This demon is a sinner of my Qingxu Dao Palace. How dare you try to take it from me, fellow Daoist?"

Dao Yi said, "Your Qingxu Dao Palace failed to nip the problem in the bud, allowing him to commit boundless atrocities. Do you still have the right to compete?"

Ziyun was furious, but had nothing to say.

Moonlight Immortal laughed and said, "Why should you two fellow Daoists hurt each other's feelings? He's just a demon, what's the big deal?"

“Since Fellow Daoist Ziyun wants to kill him to wash away the shame of the Dao Palace, Brother Daoyi, why not let him go?”

Dao Yi Sword Immortal laughed and said, "Since the Moon Fairy says so, what else can I say?"

Zhou Qing shook his head, shaking off his momentary daze. Hearing the four people vying for him, as if he had become meat on a chopping board, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He looked at Dao Yi Sword Immortal and said, "I'm afraid it's not up to you to make decisions here. Is this the Eshan Sword Sect?"

"You'd better hurry back, or you might not have anywhere to go back to."

Dao Yi Sword Immortal frowned slightly, suddenly feeling his Dao Heart tremble violently, a warning sign of immense danger.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators beside them also suddenly had a bad feeling and shouted in unison, "Brother Dao, be careful!"

When the warning sign appeared, Dao Yi Sword Immortal followed his instincts and slashed at Zhou Qing with his sword.

But suddenly he felt an extremely powerful and terrifying force strike the Heavenly Sword.

A terrifying sound, as if the sky were being torn apart, rang out, and the enormous celestial sword snapped in two.

Immediately afterwards, Dao Yi felt that force piercing his face, as if an invisible monster had bitten half of his face.

Dao Yi was shocked and retreated. He sensed that the power had been exhausted before he calmed himself down. He then heard Half-Buddha shout, "Fellow Daoists, act immediately! Do not give this demon another chance to make a move!"

All four of them sensed the extremely dangerous nature of Zhou Qing's attack. They understood that anyone who was hit head-on by that attack would be either killed or severely injured.

They hadn't expected Zhou Qing to possess such a powerful method, and their previous composure vanished instantly.

So the four of them worked together, intending to kill Zhou Qing immediately and not give him another chance to make a move.

Zhou Qing stood in the air, his expression indifferent and dignified. He glanced at the four of them and then vanished into thin air with a whoosh.

Suicide?

Just as the four were astonished, a golden light suddenly shot off in the southeast direction.

At first, the golden light was not very fast, only about the same speed as the speed at which they controlled the sword light. But after a while, it accelerated to a level that they could not match, and disappeared into the southeastern horizon in the blink of an eye.
