In the next moment, Li Hanshan, carrying a large black halberd, also sprinted out from the city. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold expression, his body faintly emanating a murderous aura. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
City Lord Hu Xuantang was also stunned, feeling the terrifying killing intent from both sides. He couldn’t help but shiver, and without a word, he ran back into the city, ordering everyone to retreat immediately.
The battle between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could easily destroy the entire city.
At this moment, Li Hanshan’s terrifying Divine Sense swiftly extended, then he unexpectedly looked at Zhou Qing with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Is it just the three of you?"
Zhou Qing, with a calm expression, lightly stomped his foot. The soil beneath instantly churned up. He then looked him in the eye and said, "Is it just the two of you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hanshan burst into laughter and said, "Are you always this brave?"
"What’s the point of talking to him? Since he’s come to us on his own, I’ll make sure he wishes he were dead!"
Yu Ziqi’s eyes were bloodshot, eager to tear Zhou Qing apart.
As he spoke, he directly removed the sword box from his back and gave it a fierce slap, sending blinding rays of light skyward.
Instantly, the nine swords, including the green Snake Sword, whistled out, weaving and traversing in the air. In no time, they formed a dazzling sword net.
Dust and stones flew, and the heavens changed color.
"Hurry and go," Yan Xiaohu urged Feng Cheng to leave after handing him a Healing Elixir.
Feng Cheng wanted to say something, but Yan Xiaohu kicked him away.
Procrastination wouldn’t help at this moment.
Subsequently, Yan Xiaohu didn’t delay any longer. His Nascent Soul boosted, pushing his cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul Realm.
Spiritual Power surged through him. Holding a large blade, he stood imposingly beside Zhou Qing, his eyes alertly fixed on Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan, ready for battle.
On Lu Yaoyao’s side, layers of crystalline ice quietly spread beneath her feet, continuously expanding and overlapping.
Behind her, a faint Ice Lotus began to condense, emitting a chilly glow.
Zhou Qing, with a stoic expression, looked at the opponents. With an emotionless face, he waved his hand, and several Array Flags were deployed right before them.
"Enter the array!" Zhou Qing commanded in a voice that, though not loud, carried indubitable authority.
Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu hesitated not a moment. Their figures flashed, immediately entering the formation.
Subsequently, Zhou Qing looked at Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan on the opposite side. With a faint smile, he made a gesture of invitation before his figure too disappeared into the array.
Seeing this somewhat provocative scene, Li Hanshan’s brow furrowed slightly.
"Just three early-stage Nascent Souls, nothing to fear!" Yu Ziqi, carrying the sword box, snorted and rushed in.
Li Hanshan, however, wasn’t as impulsive. He cautiously examined the array before him, constantly weighing its pros and cons.
After all, Meng Xing, Song Yuan, and Sima Demoness had all perished by Zhou Qing’s hand. Perhaps they too had underestimated him back then, leading to their demise.
Since I can solve this swiftly, why would I enter your array and complicate a simple matter?
With this thought, Li Hanshan snorted coldly, and his black halberd glimmered.
As he gently lifted his foot, a black battle aura enveloped him, dense and ominous, exuding a terrifying deterrence.
The ground beneath cracked, releasing endless dark miasma, churning like a sea of corpses.
Where the halberd’s tip pointed, ripples spread through space, seemingly being easily torn apart by its sharpness.
This was the "Destruction" realm he had comprehended after observing endless battlefields. Though still nascent, its power was formidable.
It could immerse one in a brutal battlefield, instantly boosting battle intent and igniting fierce fighting spirit, while the enemy would involuntarily face the terror of the battlefield, feeling the threat of death.
"Second brother, let’s see who kills first: you or me breaking the array."
With that, Li Hanshan let out a roar. Holding the halberd, he charged at the array like a flash of lightning.
As the halberd’s tip sliced through the air, a crimson light trailed behind, carrying the distant echoes of an army’s clash, enveloping him in a mighty charge.
With a fierce thrust, the halberd transformed into a roaring dragon, rushing at the array.
As the halberd’s tip clashed with the array patterns, sparks flew, and the entire array trembled violently. In an instant, light flickered wildly, and a dull thundering echoed.
"Interesting!" Seeing the array withstand his strike, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Hanshan’s eyes. He then gathered his strength again and thrust the halberd for a second strike...
Inside the array, Zhou Qing, seeing Yu Ziqi enter alone, was somewhat surprised but soon turned ecstatic.
Honestly, these two were at the half-step Divinity Transformation Realm. The Third Brother and Lu Yaoyao could barely contend with a late-stage Nascent Soul.
Originally, he considered using the jade token given by the silver-haired woman if things went south. But now, the two had voluntarily split up.
Feeling the assaults outside, Zhou Qing snorted coldly. Immediately, he placed Third Brother and Lu Yaoyao on the innermost layer.
