Chapter 417 - 342: Annihilate Them All, The True Secret
KABOOM!!!
An immense explosion roared to life.
Zhang Feiyang’s Eighteen Layers of Hell Array was utterly torn to shreds. One after another, the eighteen Array Plates detonated, shattering into a sky full of brilliant light.
"AHHH!!!"
PTUI!
Zhang Feiyang let out a wretched scream as he suffered a terrifying backlash. With his Eighteen Layers of Hell Array shattered and completely crushed by Xu Qing, Zhang Feiyang naturally coughed up blood from the feedback, his face turning deathly pale.
"You!!!"
Terror filled Zhang Feiyang’s eyes. He scrambled backward, never having imagined that Xu Qing’s Power would be so immense that he could actually demolish his Eighteen Layers of Hell Array.
"Sword’s Mystery!"
VMM! VMM! VMM!
With a single thought from Xu Qing, he held his sword with both hands, raising it vertically before him. Countless streams of light flickered as wisps of Chaos Sword Qi began to fill the air.
In that moment, Xu Qing seemed to become the very center of the world. Though he had not yet stepped into the Sixth Realm, and was merely at the Extreme of the Fifth Realm, strands of Dao Rhyme flowed around him, pouring into the Level 10 Meridian Seven Star Sword in his hands.
"Chaos Sword Technique!"
CLANG!
Xu Qing let out a sharp cry, unleashing an unparalleled Power. This was an even more powerful Mystical Technique that he had comprehended from the Chaos Sword Dao.
"Kill!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!!
Xu Qing struck with his full might. His target was locked onto the nearest enemy, the Yama Emperor ’You Ming’, who appeared as a dignified, middle-aged man.
"You!!"
You Ming’s pupils contracted.
"Netherworld Hell!"
BOOM!
In this moment of crisis, You Ming rapidly executed an incredibly powerful Dao Communication Technique, manifesting the Netherworld Hell and channeling Nine Nether Qi to swiftly envelop Xu Qing.
CRACK! CRACK!
BOOM!
But Xu Qing’s sword strike was unstoppable. His combat prowess was utterly terrifying. The Chaos Sword Technique manifested a Chaos Sword Lotus that annihilated everything in its path. The Netherworld Hell was completely shattered, exploding into a sky full of light motes.
"AHHH!!!"
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
This time, Xu Qing had unleashed a killing blow. Its Mighty Power was so immense that it not only annihilated the Netherworld Hell but also struck down and killed the Yama Emperor, You Ming.
That’s right. With a face full of terror, You Ming died under Xu Qing’s blade, his entire body split in two by the single sword strike before shattering apart.
"No!!!"
You Ming let out a final, mournful cry.
"How is this possible?!"
Horror.
Terror.
Utter disbelief.
The other seven Ancient Scripture Inheritors on the scene were completely dumbfounded. They had been certain of their victory, thinking Xu Qing was a cornered animal, completely at their mercy.
But in the end, Xu Qing’s combat prowess was so powerful it completely defied their expectations. He had slain You Ming with a single sword strike, and with such devastating ease.
In truth, Xu Qing hadn’t even used the Sword Dao Mysteries he had comprehended. Every one of his attacks had just been a basic strike, yet they were still unbelievably powerful.
Therefore, Xu Qing had hidden his true strength precisely for an opportunity to kill the Ancient Scripture Inheritors.
"Kill!"
BOOM!
Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. He took a single step and appeared before the Luofu Emperor, Zhou Yiji. Zhou Yiji was a man with salt-and-pepper hair and delicate features.
"Luofu Mountain!"
Zhou Yiji’s pupils contracted. In this moment of crisis, he reacted instantly, summoning a powerful Dao Artifact that manifested a Luofu Mountain that pierced the clouds, attempting to suppress Xu Qing.
"Break!"
CRACK!
Xu Qing swept his longsword horizontally, unleashing the Chaos Sword Technique. Countless streams of Chaos Sword Qi filled the air, and Dao Rhyme coalesced, forming an utterly terrifying Chaos Sword Aura.
Then, the vast Chaos Sword Aura cleaved Luofu Mountain in two.
"Die!"
SPLAT!
Blood flew through the air.
Xu Qing struck out again, this time lopping off Zhou Yiji’s head. The terrifying Sword Dao might contained within the blow completely obliterated his life force.
"No!!"
Zhou Yiji had fallen.
"Kill him!!!"
"Team up and kill him!"
"!!!"
Instantly, the six remaining Ancient Scripture Inheritors were horrified, yet also filled with boundless rage. With furious roars, they joined forces to besiege Xu Qing, determined to kill him here and now.
At this point, they could no longer care about the ninth Ancient Scripture inheritance.
They had to work together to kill Xu Qing. Otherwise, not only would they fail to obtain the ninth inheritance, but they would all die at his hands.
"KILL!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Xu Qing’s gaze was ice-cold, his Battle Intent surging. He unleashed his Chaos Sword Technique, manifesting the Chaos Sword Lotus, Chaos Sword Aura, and Chaos Sword Curtain. He fought against the six of them, a brutal melee ensuing.
For a short while, Xu Qing was unable to completely defeat them.
The two sides battled, fighting to a standstill.
However, as time passed...
BOOM!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out.
SWOOSH!
The next moment, a streak of light tore through the air and charged into the deepest part of the Underworld, arriving right where Xu Qing was. It was none other than the Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s Direct Disciple, Zhang Ling.
"This..."
Zhang Ling froze for a second, but then quickly processed the scene. "Xu Qing... you..."
Shock.
Utter shock.
Because, Zhang Ling could never have imagined that Xu Qing would have fought his way into the deepest part of the Underworld even earlier than he had. Despite only being in the Fifth Realm, Xu Qing possessed such terrifying combat prowess.
He was even fighting six opponents at once without falling into a disadvantage.
Too strong.
He was simply too strong.
That was why Zhang Ling was so shocked, so horrified, even finding it all a bit unbelievable. As a fellow Holy Land’s True Inheritor, Xu Qing was terrifyingly powerful.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Ling, hurry up and help us!"
