The third Martial Extermination Realm cultivator from the Four Spiritual Peak arrived!
He was Yu Zhiqing, and he was at the second layer of the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm. The Spiritual Snake Spear in his hand was his high-grade weapon.
The moment he arrived, he tore a massive hole through the protection barrier that defended the Tongyou Peak for the past twenty years.
As he charged straight into the Tongyou Peak, countless disciples followed behind him as the real battle began.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw the Patrol Hall, the atmosphere remained eerily quiet as no one appeared to stop them.
“Attack!” Yu Zhiqing pointed his spear forward but his eyes locked onto the peak of the mountain.
Before he could commence his attack, a red gourd appeared to block him.
Yu Zhiqing’s face sank but there was no trace of fear to be seen. “Don’t act all mysterious. Come out and fight!”
“Sigh…” A long sigh transmitted over and an old expert who had a head full of gray hair and a big red nose stepped through the air.
Fourth Order of the Primary Realm! There was another Martial Extermination Realm expert hiding in the Tongyou Peak and they had no idea who it was!
As a cold wind swept across him, Yu Zhiqing asked, “Who are you?”
Rubbing his red nose, the old man sighed, “I am Dong Qianzui from the Scripture Depository of the Tongyou Institution!”
“What? Dong Qianzui? How can you be at the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm?” Yu Zhiqing frowned.
“What’s wrong? Do I not look like Dong Qianzui?”
As the Four Spiritual Peak and the Tongyou Peak had been enemies for the last twenty years, they knew about all the experts the other side had!
For example, Liu Qinglan might have revealed herself for the first time, but Ran Biluo wasn’t surprised at all.
From their estimates, they had enough power to take down the Tongyou Peak even with her presence. That was the basis of their invasion!
However, who the hell was Dong Qianzui?
He was an old man who had been hiding in the Scripture Depository of the Tongyou Institution for the past twenty years! It was said that his cultivation had never improved and he was a lazy old man who drank his days away! His martial intent was said to be crippled a long time ago!
How in the world did he turn into an expert at the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm?
How many secrets had been hidden by Kou Chongxue?!
Wasn’t there news from the Azure Origin World that things were going really badly and the Tongyou Institution was starting to fall from their position of power?
Was everything a lie?! Was it all a ruse to bait them there?
From the looks of it, the source of their information was extremely suspicious!
Yu Zhiqing snorted in his heart. He decided to properly interrogate the spies that came from the Azure Origin World after the battle ended. He would clean house!
When he was slightly distracted, the gourd in Dong Qianzui’s hand popped open.
Yu Zhiqing jumped in fright and got into battle preparations, but he saw a torrent of alcohol rushing towards him the next instant. The fragrance of the alcohol filled the skies.
That was the first time anyone was fighting with Dong Qianzui and no one knew how strong he was.
Yu Zhiqing didn’t dare to let the alcohol touch him.
As the spear in his hands started to waver, he deflected every drop fling at him.
“Old man, you’re a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator. Stop with these cheap tricks!” Yu Zhiqing snapped in annoyance. If he wasn’t afraid of the alcohol flying around, he would have charged straight towards the old man.
“Hehe, young man, since you came all the way over, I’ll be rude if I fail to offer you a drink. Can’t you tell that I have good intentions?” Dong Qianzui grinned.
“Old man, let’s see what you’re capable of!” Yu Zhiqing shook the spear in his hand and rushed towards the old expert.
Strands of qi surrounded him and he seemed to transform into a devious snake capable of devouring everything in his path.
“Young man, you’re too hasty…” Dong Qianzui sighed softly and he blew lightly. A tornado of flames emerged and shot at Yu Zhiqing.
The disciples of the Four Spiritual Peak were ready to charge the moment the protection barrier broke. There were more than 10 Martial Intent Realm cultivators and nearly forty cultivators at the peak of the Martial Realm. All of them rushed towards the Tongyou Peak behind Yu Zhiqing.
Despite their readiness to do battle, the cultivators of the Tongyou Peak seemed to have a different mindset entirely. They had no intention to fight at the gap in the protection formation and the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak could only venture deeper within. Even though there didn’t seem to be any traps along their way, the hearts of those from the Four Spiritual Peak grew heavy. They didn’t think that they would be able to enter so smoothly!
All of a sudden, a light rain came from above.
“Be careful! There might be poison in the rain!” The Martial Intent Realm cultivator charging at the front yelled as he used his inner qi to push the raindrops away.
However, they quickly caught a whiff of the scent of alcohol in the air and they realized that the rain falling on them consisted of nothing more than ordinary wine.
“Wine?!” They raised their heads in unison, wanting to know where the alcohol came from when they were greeted by a sea of flames.
As alcohol filled the plains below, the entire region was turned into a sea of fire when Dong Qianzui made his move. After all, what better way to spread the flames than the most flammable liquid they could get their hands on?
In an instant, the whole region turned into hell on earth.
The cultivators who charged in behind Yu Zhiqing were engulfed in flames. Some of them died, and others suffered varying degrees of injury.
Only the Martial Intent Realm cultivators managed to remain relatively safe. Only four of them were slightly injured by the flames.
Even so, that wasn’t what they were afraid of. They were in a state of disbelief when they realized that the Martial Extermination Realm cultivator of the Tongyou Peak made a move on them!
“Dong Qianzui! How dare you break the rules and attack cultivators of a lower realm?” Yu Zhiqing’s voice boomed through the air. “Do you think I won’t dare to start slaughtering those with lower cultivation base than me?”
“It’s a mistake! An honest mistake!” Dong Qianzui sounded remorseful as though he really didn’t mean to attack those below. “Sigh… Look, none of this would happen if you didn’t avoid my attack.”
The old man continued, “I’m merely a cultivator who entered the first layer of the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm. You’re in the second layer and you have a supreme weapon in your hand! I’m not a worthy opponent for you! I have to give it my all the moment we fight! You clearly had the ability to stop my attack, but you chose to avoid it! How can you blame me for this?”
The old man might be running his mouth, but he didn’t forget to release another ball of flames at Yu Zhiqing.
Yu Zhiqing raged silently. He had never seen such a shameless person in his entire life!
He was clearly using the chance to eliminate the weaker cultivators, but after one round of deflection, it became his fault!
It was true that he had the ability to nullify the old man’s attack, but why the hell would he do something like that if he could dodge? He wouldn’t have to waste any energy countering!
The ‘wronged’ expression on Dong Qianzui’s face made Yu Zhiqing even angrier, and a sinister thought formed in his mind.
You can’t blame me for returning in kind!
Yu Zhiqing’s spear shot towards Dong Qianzui all of a sudden, and the old man yelped before twisting his body to avoid it.
Making no attempt to go for the old man, Yu Zhiqing swung his spear downwards!
A shockingly long spear appeared in the skies as heaven and earth qi converged. It shot straight down towards the Patrol Hall and a huge explosion ensued.
Dong Qianzui cried out in a weird voice, “Yu Zhiqing, how dare you attack weaker cultivators!”
A snort left Yu Zhiqing’s lips, “Dong Qianzui, why did you dodge?”
Dong Qianzui cried out in anger, “You did it on purpose! This old man won’t let you off!”
As soon as he spoke, he rushed towards Yu Zhiqing with the giant gourd in his hand.
“You’re looking to die!” Yu Zhiqing couldn’t contain his rage when facing such a shameless opponent and he raised his spear.
Even though he felt that there was something wrong with Dong Qianzui, he glanced at the structure he blew up before turning to look at the old freak. He started to hesitate. If the old man really wanted to go all out…
The next thing he knew, Dong Qianzui was rushing towards him with a twisted expression on his face. From the looks of it, he was really going to go all out!
Well, that was what Yu Zhiqing wanted in the first place.
Raising his spear, he gathered his inner qi and got ready to fight. Even if he had to suffer some injuries from the battle, he had to get rid of one of the opposing side’s Fourth Order Primary Realm cultivators!
Too bad for him, whistling sounds came from behind him and the sound of rattling could be heard.
He noticed that something was wrong, but it was too late for him to do anything about it!
Three long chains whipped towards him and they twisted around his spear!
Yu Zhiqing’s expression changed. Pushing the inner qi in his body to the limit, he struggled to pull his spear out. It was too bad he couldn’t achieve it in a short period of time.
The chains used to connect the Kaiyuan Peak to the main peak, and they were an important part of the protection formation of the Tongyou Institution.
Even though they had been broken, the chains were extremely useful when it came to actual combat!
