Chapter 1535 - 445: Zhou Qing, How Could It Be You? (6k)_2

Zhou Qing’s expression was cold and stern, without a word, his right hand suddenly clenched, and purple-gold thunder light surged from his palm!

"Sizzle——!"

A thunder spear instantly formed, electric snakes danced wildly along the spear shaft, and the space around the spear tip twisted, producing an ear-piercing tearing sound!

The next moment, the thunder spear pierced through the air!

It was incredibly fast!

So fast that it left no afterimages!

"Sizzle——"

The thunder spear was exceedingly quick, almost arriving in an instant.

Xuanyuan Sha merely tilted his body slightly, and lightly waved the Xingtian Halberd in his hand.

"Clang!!!"

The clash of metal resounded, and the thunder spear shattered, turning into countless electric snakes scattering in all directions.

However, the scattered thunder light did not dissipate; instead, it suddenly redirected in midair, like a living thing, regrouping into nine purple-gold thunder dragons, roaring as they pounced towards Xuanyuan Sha!

"Thunder skills transformation?" Xuanyuan Sha frowned, and the war halberd in his hand suddenly vibrated.

The runes on the halberd blade suddenly exploded with golden light, forming a golden barrier around him.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

The thunder dragons repeatedly smashed against the barrier, detonating with earth-shattering explosions.

Although Xuanyuan Sha’s defense remained unbroken, the ground beneath him cracked, and his figure shifted back half an inch.

In that moment of vulnerability, Zhou Qing had already closed in, a broken sword suddenly appearing in his hand!

"Buzz——"

The broken sword sliced through the air with not the slightest sound, only the slight distortion of space where the sword edge passed.

Xuanyuan Sha’s pupils shrank, instinctively raising his halberd to block.

"Clang!!!"

Sword and halberd clashed, sparks flying!

Xuanyuan Sha felt an indescribable sharpness transmitted through the halberd, seeming to cleave through everything, causing a slight numbness in his grip!

"Who are you really?" Xuanyuan Sha bellowed, a hint of gravity in his eyes.

"The one who will kill you!" Zhou Qing replied coldly, hands suddenly forming a seal.

"Buzz——"

Suddenly, obscure array patterns lit up beneath their feet, Xuanyuan Sha’s pupils constricted, about to leap back, but it was already too late!

"Swish!"

Space twisted, and the next instant, both of them vanished from where they stood.

——

"Boom!!!"

Under Xuanyuan Sha’s feet, solid ground appeared, the scene before him changed abruptly!

No longer in a dark cave, but in a desolate canyon!

The cliffs soared high, the peaks like swords, the sky sealed by a distorted restricted light curtain, forming a natural battleground!

"Teleportation array?!" Xuanyuan Sha’s face darkened, swiftly scanning his surroundings, spiritual power surging around him, on extreme alert.

However, before he could react—

"Crack——!"

The entire canyon suddenly trembled!

Immediately, the ground, rock walls, and sky simultaneously lit up with four-color runes!

Green, red, white, and black beams of restriction shot into the sky, weaving into an immense net, completely sealing the entire canyon!

Zhou Qing’s figure slowly emerged from midair, purple-gold thunder light coiling around his body, eyes cold as a blade.

It was then that Xuanyuan Sha finally saw the figure in the sky clearly, his face filled with disbelief.

"Zhou Qing? How could it be you?"

"Why wouldn’t it be me?" Zhou Qing responded indifferently.

Xuanyuan Sha’s expression shifted, hurriedly saying, "Master Zhou, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Ever since Zhou Qing advanced to the fourth-level array master in the Imperial City, triggering celestial phenomena, he had vanished for over a hundred seventy years.

Unexpectedly, they met here today, and upon meeting, he struck with lethal intent.

"There’s no misunderstanding." Zhou Qing’s voice was terrifyingly calm, "I came today to kill you."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Sha’s eyes flashed with cold light, "Zhou Qing! Although you’ve ascended to the Spirit Severing Realm, don’t be too arrogant!"

"Don’t think just because I call you Master, you can take it to heart!"

Zhou Qing remained silent, this array was something he found in Han Yi’s storage bag— a Four-Color Array.

More accurately, it was an array once carried by the number forty-seven silver medal assassin of the Blood Contract Pavilion.

The assassin captured Shen Yunzhou and Lu Yaoyao back then to coerce Shen Hanyi into the array.

This array bore resemblances to the Five-Color Restriction Array used by the second uncle to trap Shen Yunlan.

In other words, its greatest wonder was being able to dissipate the aftermath of spells, sealing off any path of spatial escape.

This was the Imperial City, and since Zhou Qing had ascertained that the mastermind behind everything was Xuanyuan Chong, who was at the Spirit Severing Realm.

No matter who came, he planned to divide and eliminate them, giving no chance for the opponent to send out a call for help.

Seeing Zhou Qing unmoved, Xuanyuan Sha immediately retreated several feet, quickly taking out a communication jade scroll.

But in the next moment, his expression turned extremely grim—the jade scroll simply wouldn’t activate!

"You should know my other identity!" Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back, purple-gold thunder brilliance flowing in his eyes, "Within this array, I am the ruler!"

Xuanyuan Sha, refusing to accept it, immediately attempted to use the Power of Space to escape, only to find the surrounding space seemingly solidified, unable to tear open even the slightest fissure.

"Good! Very good!" Xuanyuan Sha, enraged to the point of laughter, the light on the Xingtian Halberd surged, "Once I slay you, the array will naturally break!"

Before the voice fell, his form turned into a golden stream of light, the Xingtian Halberd carrying a world-shattering force aimed directly at Zhou Qing’s throat!

Zhou Qing’s eyes narrowed, raising the broken sword in his hand.

Though the sword was fragmented, it burst forth with an astonishing sword intent!

"Clang——!"

Sword and halberd collided, spiritual pressure erupted!

The terrifying shockwave swept across the canyon, the rock walls on both sides crumbling with a loud crash!

Before the debris could hit the ground, it was ground into dust by the restricted light curtain!

Xuanyuan Sha did not cease his onslaught, the war halberd moving like a dragon, each strike imbued with royal secret power, its golden light crumbling mountains!

Zhou Qing faced him head-on with the broken sword, purple-gold thunderbolt entwined along the sword’s edge, thunderlight and golden light constantly colliding, exploding into blinding brilliance!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Their figures flickered, clashing hundreds of times in an instant!

Each collision causing the canyon to tremble, the restricted light curtain oscillating violently!

The more Xuanyuan Sha fought, the more he was alarmed.
