Chapter 1578: Chapter 456: The Killer Is Zhou Qing!

The space distorted and deformed as the spear tip passed.

Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed brilliantly, his body advanced instead of retreating. The Purple Gold Thunder Spear drew a perfect arc and violently collided with the Burning Heaven Flame Dragon Spear.

“Clang——!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the skies, and where the two divine spears met, a dazzling light erupted.

The Purple Gold Thunder Arc and the Burning Heaven Blaze voraciously consumed each other, creating shock waves that shattered all remaining pillars inside the temple, causing the roof to collapse with a thunderous crash.

Amidst the swirling dust, two figures simultaneously flew backward.

Zhou Qing flipped in mid-air and landed steadily, the Purple Gold Thunder Spear carving a deep trench into the ground.

Xiao Tiance staggered back over ten steps before barely managing to stabilize himself, his right hand gripping the spear had its tiger’s mouth cracked open, and blood dripped down the spear shaft.

“Family Head!” Xiao Yuanshan cried out in alarm, and despite his injuries, he rushed forward again.

He formed a spell with both hands, and the Profound Nether Heavy Ruler floated in the air, transforming into a black stream of light, aimed at Zhou Qing’s back.

Without turning his head, Zhou Qing flicked his left hand backward, instantly forming a Purple Gold Thunder Shield.

With a muffled “bang,” the Profound Nether Heavy Ruler was deflected by the Thunder Shield, and the Nether Fire on its shaft dimmed slightly.

“Your opponent is me.”

Xiao Tiance wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the nine fire dragons on the Burning Heaven Flame Dragon Spear roared again, “Second Brother, go activate the Clan Protection Array!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunhai immediately retreated and sped swiftly toward the back of the hall.

Zhou Qing’s gaze turned cold: “Trying to escape?”

He raised his left hand, summoning three Purple Gold Thunder Spears in an instant, shooting them toward Xiao Yunhai in a triangular formation.

“In your dreams!” Xiao Tiance shouted fiercely, the Burning Heaven Flame Dragon Spear swept horizontally, and the nine fire dragons detached from the spear, intertwining in the air to form a fire net, intercepting the three Thunder Spears completely.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

After the three loud explosions, the fire dragons and Thunder Spears were simultaneously annihilated.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Tiance charged in closely, his spear striking like a dragon, each blow carrying the momentum to burn and boil the seas.

Zhou Qing responded calmly, the Purple Gold Thunder Spear either thrusting or sweeping, neutralizing each attack one by one.

Their exchange grew increasingly swift, and in the blink of an eye, they had already traded over a hundred moves.

Spear shadows multiplied, thunder and fire interwoven, the entire temple long turned to ruins.

Grand Elder Xiao Yuanshan watched on from the sidelines with a heart leaping in fear—he had never seen the Family Head forced into such a position before.

With another fierce collision, a terrifying shock wave swept through, leveling all buildings within a thousand feet radius.

In the smoke, Xiao Tiance suddenly emerged from the side, the Burning Heaven Flame Dragon Spear targeting Zhou Qing’s throat.

As if anticipating this, Zhou Qing shifted his body, his right hand claw-like, firmly gripping the spear shaft.

The two instantly fell into a grappling state, the spear shaft mingled with thunder and fire, emitting a teeth-grating “sizzling” sound.

“Patriarch Xiao, is this your full strength?” Zhou Qing sneered coldly, swiftly forming a spell with his left hand.

A Purple Gold Thunder Pillar as thick as a barrel descended from the sky, directly striking Xiao Tiance’s skull.

Xiao Tiance’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly releasing the long spear and retreating in haste.

Nonetheless, the residual wave of the Thunder Pillar still struck his left shoulder, rendering it bloodied instantly.

“Family Head!” Xiao Yuanshan’s face showed anxiety, he immediately rushed forward.

He bit his tongue tip, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the Profound Nether Heavy Ruler, causing its body to shine with black light.

The Heavy Ruler transformed into a black lightning bolt, shooting toward Zhou Qing’s back, so swift it seemed to break through the space’s limit.

Zhou Qing snorted coldly, his figure suddenly blurred, leaving a residual shadow in place.

The Profound Nether Heavy Ruler pierced through the residual shadow, heavily smashing into the ground, causing the earth to shake.

“Be careful!” Xiao Tiance quickly shouted.

But it was already too late.

Zhou Qing’s figure ghostlike appeared behind Xiao Yuanshan, the Purple Gold Thunder Spear mercilessly piercing into his back.

“Pfft——”

The spear tip protruded through his chest, bringing forth a gush of blood.

Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes widened, staring at the Purple Gold spear tip emerging unbelievably through his chest.

The thunder arcs dancing on the spear shaft seared his flesh, making a “sizzling” sound.

His lips quivered, trying to speak, yet only coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.

Zhou Qing’s eyes were cold, his left hand suddenly glowing black and white, gripping Xiao Yuanshan’s skull top: “Capture!”

A Seven-Colored Primordial Spirit identical to Xiao Yuanshan’s visage was forcibly dragged out of his body.

The Primordial Spirit struggled intensely, its face full of terror.

Zhou Qing mercilessly cast several sealing spells, completely confining the Primordial Spirit, then put it in the storage bag along with the corpse.

“Grand Elder!” Xiao Tiance’s eyes reddened in anger, the flames on the Burning Heaven Flame Dragon Spear surged several times over, “Zhou Qing, I’ll have your life!”

Zhou Qing flicked the blood off the Purple Gold Thunder Spear, coldly saying: “With just you?”

As the two were about to re-engage in battle, the entire Xiao Family residence suddenly shook violently.

“Rumble——”

The ground undulated like waves, and several four-colored light pillars shot up into the sky from various points in the Xiao Family.

Green, red, white, and orange lights intertwined, sketching a magnificent array map in the night sky.

Each light pillar contained terrifying spiritual power fluctuations, even twisting the space.

“Truly fools, did you not consider how I entered!” Zhou Qing sneered inwardly.

As the array took form, an immense oppressive force descended from the heavens.

Zhou Qing immediately felt as if a mountain were pressing on him, his movements sluggish.

Even the spiritual power circulating within him started to become sluggish.

“Hahaha!” Xiao Yunhai’s figure appeared on a distant array platform, his face twisted in a grin.

“Zhou Qing, knowing you’re a fourth-level Array Master, but breaking an array requires time; do you think we’ll give you that time? Today, you will find it impossible to escape!”

Xiao Tiance, seeing this, finally revealed an expression of delight.
