Chapter 176: Chapter 172: Crisis in Qingzhou! Attack of the Monster Dragon! (Please Subscribe)

"A Great Grandmaster?"

Fuyu was startled at the words, and then his expression became slightly strange.

Which Great Grandmaster could control his Qi for flight?

Which Great Grandmaster could slay a Half-Step Martial Saint?

If Great Grandmasters had such combat strength, then my master would have long since eradicated the demon calamity in Qingzhou!

However...

Recalling this junior martial brother, his combat strength had always been unreasonably strong since they had met.

Perhaps it was due to some kind of innate talent.

Fuyu could only explain it this way in his heart, sighed lightly, and then looked ahead.

Qin Zheng merely smiled lightly, offering no further explanation, and instead seemed to casually glance towards the wilderness beside the official road.

...

A pool of flesh and bone fragments congealed into a bloody smear.

Two lifeless bodies.

Just like that, they were carelessly strewn across the wilderness.

Who could have imagined that, moments before, these three were Semi-Saints whom countless martial artists in the Great Jin aspired to become!

Mysterious! Majestic! Powerful!

This was the impression of Half-Step Martial Saints in the hearts of all martial artists.

Being the highest realm beneath Martial Saints.

Many geniuses in Martial Arts spend their entire lives with the goal of reaching the Half-Step Martial Saint level.

Yet the three corpses before them were steeped in endless desolation.

A breeze blew by, scattering the stench of blood in the half-empty skies and attracting the wild beasts in the distance.

Roar~~

Soon after, one after another, beasts began to gradually gather here.

It was only the residual might of the Semi-Saints that still deterred them from approaching.

Until a certain moment, a massive tiger, with robust steps, approached step by step.

Its eyes brimmed with longing and greed; although it lacked the intelligence of humans, its instincts told it that devouring those bodies would be to its benefit!

Just as it was about to reach the bodies.

Swish!

A large foot seemed to kick out casually, accompanied by a voice: "Shoo, shoo, from where does this wild dog come?"

Bang!

The huge body of the tiger suddenly flew away like a cannonball and then brutally smashed on a rock, bursting into a mass of flesh and blood.

Seeing this, the other predators quickly fled, not daring to linger for even a moment.

At this time, that large foot slowly retracted and then leisurely walked to the middle of the corpses.

It was a lean, dark-skinned middle-aged man, wearing a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, exuding an air of mystery and majesty.

His gaze swept around and finally rested on the pile of flesh and bones, where his expression turned extremely grave.

"That’s Wu Qinyong."

At that time, a figure also dressed in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe suddenly appeared beside him and said.

"Is he back?"

The dark-skinned man asked.

"Yeah, he found me, so I came back,"

The other responded, and then continued, "What should we do now?"

"What do you mean, ’what should we do’?"

"Wu Qinyong was after all a Demon Slayer under Taiwu Academy, an official of the imperial court. Now that he’s dead, shouldn’t we make some kind of statement?"

"What, do you want to seek justice for a dead man? Don’t forget, Qin Zheng is also a Demon Slayer, and... how can you be so sure he isn’t the next Martial Saint of our Great Jin?"

The other silhouette fell into silence.

Offending a National Martial Saint over this incident might make him the laughingstock of all martial artists.

Although he too was a Half-Step Martial Saint!

The dark-skinned man continued, "Don’t forget who sent us here. Just report exactly what happened here, and do not create unnecessary trouble!"

The other figure nodded and replied, "Alright!"

After a brief silence, he spoke again, "How strong do you think Qin Zheng really is?"

Instead of answering directly, the dark-skinned man’s gaze swept over the corpses again and said:

"Wu Qinyong, Liu Minhan, both were Half-Step Martial Saints who had broken through the limit of ’Essence,’ while Gao Lingyin had broken through the limit of ’Spirit.’

"Against the combined attack of three Semi-Saints, there aren’t many signs of battle damage here, which clearly indicates that the fight ended with an overwhelming victory."

"And Wu Qinyong’s body is shattered into a mess of flesh, yet Gao Lingyin’s body is not damaged at all."

"This proves that Qin Zheng crushed his opponents where they were strongest, defeating them outright!"

"Thus, whether in terms of strength or spirit, he has become so powerful that he can easily crush Half-Step Martial Saints!"

Hearing the dark-skinned man’s analysis, the other immediately realized, and an unbelievable thought suddenly emerged in his mind, "You mean..."

"Our Great Jin might be welcoming a new Martial Saint!"

The man in the Mystic Robe narrowed his eyes, a mix of excitement and envy in his gaze.

After a few moments, he spoke again, "Clean up the scene; let’s go back and report the news!"

"Okay!"

The other figure agreed.

Then he hesitated for a moment and hesitantly said, "The one heading to Qingzhou is Yu Liang; he’s a bit hot-tempered. What if he offends..."

"Then it’s none of our business. However, that guy is accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, so it’s good for him to get put in his place,"

The dark-skinned man laughed lightly, seemingly looking forward to this ’Yu Liang’ getting his comeuppance.

...

Qingzhou.

Yongan County.

Su Zimo, Xiang Qingyu, Wei Qingshuang, Mo Xingshan, Wu Bingyi.

The five were gathered in Camp Geng at this moment.

And above them, Wei Wuji, who had been rejuvenated by the Supreme Rejuvenation Pill, had fully recovered his Essence Qi Spirit.

A hundred feet up the pole, advance one step further!

At this moment, Wei Wuji, after experiencing the disruption of his Essence Qi Spirit had not only not regressed, but there was also a sense of breaking and then rebuilding, his entire aura changing, subtly tending toward the trend of advancing to a Half-Step Martial Saint.

However, there was no joy on his face at this time, only a heavy solemnity.

"With Half-Sage Hua gone, has the court also chosen to give up on Qingzhou?"

Wu Bingyi was the first to speak up, breaking the silence in the camp.

At these words, everyone’s expressions grew even more grave.

With an imperial decree from the Capital City, Hua Qingyun, the one stationed in Qingzhou, had no choice but to obey and leave.

The vast Qingzhou was left without a single Half-Step Martial Saint, only Wei Wuji, a Great Grandmaster who had just recovered.

But facing the several Saint Envoys from the Moxu Demon Lair, and that Monster Dragon from the Black Water Demon Cave, what could one Great Grandmaster do?

This was the root of everyone’s anxiety and distress.

"Rest assured, the court has sent another Semi-Saint here, who should be arriving in Qingzhou soon."

Wei Wuji spoke slowly, soothing the anxious mood among everyone.

Yet, in his heart, there was a bad premonition.

The court swapping out a Semi-Saint for no apparent reason; there certainly must be a reason for it.

Now that Half-Sage Hua had already left for several days, the new Semi-Saint had yet to make an appearance.

By the Semi-Saint’s speed... this shouldn’t be!

If this continued, and the Monster Dragon learnt that the Semi-Saint had left and Qingzhou was unguarded, the consequences...

With this thought, Wei Wuji’s heart was also enveloped in deep anxiety.

However, these thoughts only circulated within his own mind, without letting others know.

Thus, after hearing his words, everyone’s expressions relaxed a bit.

"Just how strong is that Black Water Monster Dragon?"

At this time, Xiang Qingyu spoke up.

He and Su Zimo had stayed in Lin Yuan City and had not seen the Black Water Monster Dragon.

"Very strong! A hundred zhang long, soaring clouds and driving fog, not something we can deal with!"

"Or to put it another way... not something martial artists below a Semi-Saint can cope with!"

Hearing such a question, Wei Qingshuang, after a long silence, spoke up.

That day outside Xuanen Mansion, he had also caught a distant glimpse of that Black Water Monster Dragon suspended above Xuanen Mansion.

The powerful demonic energy in that dragon’s roar, even now, was hard to forget.

"Alas."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed quietly.

Wei Wuji looked at the several disciples below him, and suddenly, a young figure in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe emerged in his mind.

This new disciple of his, who had not been with him for long, always appeared calm and composed, as if nothing in the entire world could affect him.

Even in the face of the greatest crisis, he could crush it with a strong stance.

If he were here, he probably wouldn’t sit passively like himself in this tent, but would directly pick up the sword and charge forward.

With this thought, Wei Wuji let his mind wander.

Observing the Enlightenment Divine Stele, I wonder how far it could take him.

Hopefully, the opportunity gained from my decades of effort... could have some effect...

"Report!!"

Just then, an urgent voice suddenly resounded from outside the camp.

Everyone’s expressions immediately turned solemn, their hearts instantly lifting.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-chief! There’s a disturbance in the Mo Xu Mountain Range!"

Pei Qing spoke with a grave expression and urgency.

Wei Wuji and the others immediately stood up, calling out sternly, "Prepare the horses!!"

Roar!!

Before they could leave the camp, an ear-splitting dragon’s roar suddenly sounded overhead!

Everyone’s faces changed drastically, and they stepped outside the tent without delay.

What met their eyes was the thick, rampant demonic energy filling the sky, condensing into rolling dark clouds, sweeping toward the camp from afar.

And amidst those clouds, a hundred-zhang black dragon, lying obscured within, exuded an awe-inspiring pressure that made onlookers’ spirits tremble.

"With Hua Qingyun gone, it seems like Great Jin has indeed abandoned Qingzhou!"

Accompanying the tremendous dragon’s roar, a voice full of mockery rang out, like thunder rumbling, spreading in all directions.

Then, in just a few breaths, the hundred-zhang black dragon arrived above Camp Geng.

Its massive body twisted and surged through the clouds, with a huge dragon head peering down at the people below.

"Wei Wuji, I know you."

The Black Water Monster Dragon began to speak slowly.

Wei Wuji’s expression darkened slightly as he tightly gripped the spear in his hand.

And then the Monster Dragon spoke again, "Your elder brother was seriously injured by me back in the day, his foundation was damaged by it!"

Upon these words, Wei Wuji’s veins bulged instantly, fury surging to the extreme in his eyes.

"You deserve to die!!!"

He bellowed in rage, and instantly, his entire body’s Gang Qi exploded, his feet stamping on the ground as he burst skyward!

"Hmph! Ignorant of death!"

The Monster Dragon chuckled mockingly, then opened its mouth wide and let out a fierce roar.

Roar!!

The overwhelming sound wave blasted forth, carrying immense divine might, instantly sweeping across all directions!

Boom, boom, boom!!

Instantly, the earth shook, and the heavens trembled!

Camp Geng was abruptly thrown into chaos, countless colonels and soldiers fell to the ground in pain.

And Wei Wuji, who was at the forefront, was directly knocked to the ground by the sound wave.

Spurt!!

A mouthful of fresh blood was ejected.

With that single blow, he was seriously injured!
