Chapter 160: Chapter 157 Immortal Path Spirit Root! Black Water Demon Dragon! (Subscribe please)

Deep within the ruins of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.

A landscape of destruction lay spread out.

Bodies struggled feebly before drooping lifelessly.

Qin Zheng watched the Governor of Qingzhou with a serene gaze.

This battle seemed simple and effortless but was in fact brimming with deadly perils!

Gao Wenyu’s methods were strange and his true strength deeply concealed.

First, he appeared as an illusory phantom through a formation, reality uncertain, playing with his enemies like toys in the palm of his hand.

Furthermore, he had touched the threshold of ’jing’s ultimate limit, undergoing a premature physical transformation to possess the strength of three hundred thousand jin!

If it weren’t for Qin Zheng, anyone else within Qingzhou would have faced certain death!

No wonder Wei Wuji went to hold him accountable and ended up in such a state at his hands.

Such strength could indeed make one the strongest in Qingzhou!

However, the Prefectural Governor had not anticipated that Qin Zheng was not of this world and had guessed his formation.

Also, having been tempered by the True Dragon Divine Refinement Scripture before his arrival, he had gained the Flood Dragon Power at a minor completion stage!

That directly augmented Qin Zheng’s strength by one hundred thousand jin!

Combined with his original strength of two hundred thousand jin, the sum total broke through to three hundred thousand jin!

Afterward, with the amplification of his Gang Qi, his strength directly soared to four hundred and twenty thousand jin!

Such formidable force was not far from the five hundred thousand jin one could have upon breaking through the ultimate limit of ’jing,’ as Zhao Li had mentioned!

How could Gao Wenyu, with his mere three hundred thousand jin of strength, withstand that?!

Thus, he was swiftly slain by Qin Zheng. It may have looked simple and easy, not because Gao Wenyu was too weak, but because Qin Zheng was too powerful at that moment!

Hum!

With a thought, Qin Zheng’s Heavenly Eye opened once again!

He immediately saw Gao Wenyu’s soul struggling to escape from his physical body!

Seemingly sensing Qin Zheng’s gaze, Gao Wenyu’s soul, full of bitter hatred and malevolence, spoke out, "If you kill me, you will surely..."

Whoosh!

A flash of golden light burst forth!

Gao Wenyu’s soul dispersed instantly, obliterated completely!

Dead and still so many last words!

Qin Zheng stepped forward and yanked out the halberd, pulling Gao Wenyu’s body out and casually throwing it to the ground.

He ran his hand over the halberd, identifying its extraordinary material from its touch alone.

That, coupled with the nurturing from a Martial Saint, made it of no surprise that the Ghost Head Greatsword, even after being enhanced by the Soldier Refinement Method, couldn’t withstand the halberd.

Then, on the body of the halberd, Qin Zheng saw two golden characters—Canglong.

The Canglong Halberd!

What an excellent find, I’ll take it!

Qin Zheng planted the halberd into the ground and stooped down to search Gao Wenyu’s corpse.

This man had produced the halberd out of thin air, which surely meant he had something akin to a storage bag.

This was precisely what Qin Zheng needed most; otherwise, it was incredibly inconvenient to carry around a greatsword, a large bow and several arrows every time he ventured out.

And indeed, apart from a delicate small pouch in his bosom, there was nothing else on this old fellow’s person.

Qin Zheng picked up the pouch and, sending a strand of spiritual power into it, explored its contents.

Feeling a dissipating strand of spiritual power inside, he immediately erased it and imprinted it with his own.

The contents of the pouch then became clear to Qin Zheng at once.

Gold notes, spirit pills, and various precious items were inside; while considered treasures to others, they were of little use to Qin Zheng.

He gave the pouch a cursory glance, withdrew his attention, stood up, and tucked the storage bag into his bosom.

With a touch of the halberd and a thought, he saw it disappear instantaneously.

Indeed convenient!

Qin Zheng’s eyes brightened.

This storage bag alone was already a significant gain!

He immediately deposited the large bow, arrows, and the cracked Ghost Head Greatsword, along with various other sundries on his person, into the storage bag.

A sense of relief instantly filled him.

Having completed all that, Qin Zheng then turned his attention to the temple that had collapsed into ruins before him.

A temple located within the Governor’s Mansion, so tenaciously protected and upheld by Gao Wenyu, likely contained something!

Qin Zheng stepped forward, his footfall causing the ground to tremble, scattering the brick and tile debris to reveal what lay beneath.

Beneath the rubble was a three-foot-tall Golden Body Statue emitting a faint, feeble glow.

The collapse of the temple hadn’t affected it in the slightest; not even a speck of dust had settled upon it.

Qin Zheng examined the statue he had never seen before: garbed in Daoist robes, hair coiled into a bun, an expression of detached majesty, appearing as if an Immortal God from the heavens!

Yet for some reason, as Qin Zheng looked upon the statue, he felt an unsettling disquiet.

It was as if with every gaze Qin Zheng cast upon it, the statue, in turn, seemed to be watching him!

Frowning slightly, Qin Zheng pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to stand before the statue, reaching out to touch it.

Hum!!

Atop his Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll suddenly trembled!

Soon, new words emerged.

[Discovery: Elder Mother Statue, can be refined. Refinement requires ten thousand jin of merit, proceed with refinement?]

[Note: Refinement will yield the item, Top-Grade Immortal Seed.]

[Note: This item can purify the body, substantially enhance Immortal Path aptitude, highly probable to grant a Heavenly Spiritual Root, a small chance to grant a Top-Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root!]

[Note: The statue is contaminated, and forceful refinement may pose risks!]

Ten thousand jin... Immortal Seed... Immortal Path aptitude... Spiritual Root!

Seeing the information on the Merit Scroll, Qin Zheng’s emotions surged within him!

This world indeed harbored not only Martial Arts but also the Immortal Path!

However, it would take ten thousand jin of merit to refine the statue, which Qin Zheng currently did not need to consider.

The final note also raised his wariness.

Contamination...

Whether it was the Heritage Spirit Bead obtained from Gao Wuyun or the divine statue before him, both were noted to have been ’contaminated’.

Perhaps the Immortal Path of this world was not what he had imagined...

A multitude of thoughts surfaced in Qin Zheng’s mind.

"You’ve got some nerve, killing someone from the Gao Clan and still daring to be so visible..."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind him.

Instantly, Qin Zheng’s figure vanished like a breeze and reappeared not far away.

At the same time, a bow and arrow had already appeared in his hands. He aimed at the newcomer and released an arrow in the blink of an eye!

Boom!!

A streak of light burst out instantaneously!

Crack!

However, the powerful arrow was immediately caught by a large hand.

"Still daring to stand here so openly and not leave."

Then, the person completed the earlier unfinished words and looked at Qin Zheng from a distance, speaking again, "You’re not very skilled, but you’ve got quite the temper."

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly but didn’t respond or shoot another arrow.

He looked gravely at the man who had abruptly appeared behind him.

Even though his mind had sunk into the Heart Sea, pondering the information on the Merit Scroll, he was not without awareness of the external world.

To be precise, he had the entire Provincial Governor’s Mansion under his Mental Induction!

Yet his opponent had still managed to appear behind him without a sound!

There were only two possibilities, either the person had come to him from outside the mansion in an instant,

or the person’s strength was so immense that it could shield against his Mental Induction!

Either possibility was extremely terrifying!

Across from him.

A man in brocade clothes chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Enough, I can’t be bothered to talk too much with you. Give me the Demon Core of Cang Yuan, and I might let you die less painfully."

While speaking, he took a step forward and appeared directly in front of Qin Zheng, reaching out his hand in the process.

This speed made Qin Zheng’s pupils constrict, and without hesitation, he summoned the Canglong Halberd into his hands with a thought.

And at that moment, his entire body’s strength erupted explosively!

Swish!

As the Halberd swept across, divine might surged!

The newcomer stretched out his hand, attempting to grasp the Canglong Halberd swung by Qin Zheng.

Hum!

At that moment, streaks of Gang Qi surged from Qin Zheng’s body, rapidly coiling around his arms and Halberd.

Instantly, his strength soared at a terrifying pace!

Hmm?!

The man’s eyes focused intently, as he immediately sensed something was amiss.

But it was too late for any adjustments now.

Thump!

Boom!!

The man’s figure was sent flying backwards instantly, crashing through courtyard walls and buildings, before smashing into a side chamber.

"Good! It’s been a long time since..."

Bricks and tiles burst apart, and the man’s figure leapt up in an instant.

However, what awaited him was a Halberd infused with an immense force of four hundred twenty thousand jin!

Crack!

The man stretched out his hands and swiftly caught the tip of the Canglong Halberd.

His figure was forced back step by step, falling into disadvantage.

Yet the sharp edge of the Halberd, even with Qin Zheng’s tremendous strength behind it, could not penetrate his skin!

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, observing the somewhat disheveled man before him. The Merit Scroll above the Heart Sea trembled lightly.

[Black Water Demon Dragon, shrouded in killing aura, condemned by heaven and earth, slaying it will grant one thousand two hundred seventy-eight jin four taels three qian of merit!]

A monster worth a thousand jin of merit!

Qin Zheng’s heart sank slightly; this was the most valuable and most powerful creature he had ever encountered!

"Brat, you’ve angered this lord!"

At that moment, the man lifted his head, his gaze directed at Qin Zheng, eyes turning to vertical slits, hands gradually transforming into black dragon claws!

A tremendous demonic energy erupted from his body at that moment!

Zha!

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng’s lips parted, and he shouted with the force of a spring thunder!

Err!!

The man frowned, uttering a pained grunt as the strength in his grip weakened considerably.

Given Qin Zheng’s current level of spiritual power, the Spiritual Martial Arts he executed were naturally far more powerful than before!

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Zheng’s Halberd plunged forward once more, this time penetrating the man’s chest.

But the opponent was strong too, stubbornly resisting, unable to be pushed back further and thus resulting in a stalemate!

And he could feel that as time passed, the man gradually regained his senses, and the force he exerted grew stronger and stronger!

The strength of this Monster Dragon surpassed Qin Zheng’s own at that moment!

With a thought, Qin Zheng’s brow showed a streak of golden lines, preparing to open the Heavenly Eye and launch another Mental Attack.

Sensing the impending danger, the man suddenly roared!

Roar!!!

Simultaneously, a powerful surge of strength and demonic energy forcefully repelled Qin Zheng!

Mu!

Following that, a dragon’s roar resounded!

The man transformed in a flash, soaring into the sky, becoming a tremendous Monster Dragon a hundred zhang in length!
