Chapter 173: Qingzhou Crisis! The Demon Dragon's Attack!
Chapter 173: Qingzhou Crisis! The Demon Dragon's Attack!
"A Supreme Grandmaster?"
Fu Yu was taken aback by the statement, and his expression turned slightly peculiar.
Which Supreme Grandmaster could fly with Qi control?
Which Supreme Grandmaster could slay a Half-step Martial Sage?
If a Supreme Grandmaster possessed such combat prowess, then Master would have resolved Qingzhou's demon calamity long ago!
But...
Thinking of this junior disciple, ever since they met, his combat strength had been unreasonably powerful.
Perhaps it was due to some innate talent.
Fu Yu could only explain it this way in his heart, and he sighed lightly, looking ahead.
Qin Zheng smiled slightly, not offering further explanation. Instead, he casually glanced at the wilderness beside the official road.
A pile of shredded flesh and bones formed a bloodstain.
Two lifeless corpses without a trace of energy.
They lay casually in the wilderness.
Who would have thought that just a moment ago, these three were the Half-step Martial Sages that countless Great Jin warriors aspired to become!
Mysterious! Majestic! Powerful!
This was the impression of Half-step Martial Sages in the hearts of all warriors.
As the highest realm below Martial Sage.
Many martial geniuses spent their entire lives striving to reach the level of Half-step Martial Sage and beyond.
But the three remains before them were filled with endless desolation.
The breeze blew, dispersing the bloody stench that hung in the air, attracting beasts from the nearby wilderness.
Roar~
Soon, one by one, the beasts gradually approached.
However, the residual might of the Half-step Martial Sages still deterred them from daring to come too close.
Until a moment when a massive tiger, with sturdy strides, slowly walked forward.
Its eyes were filled with desire and greed. Although it hadn't awakened its spiritual intelligence, its instincts told it that eating those corpses would surely bring benefits! Just as it was about to approach the bodies...
Whoosh!
A large foot casually kicked over, and a voice sounded, "Get lost, you mangy cur."
Bang!
The tiger's massive body flew backward like a bullet, slamming into a boulder and exploding into a mass of blood and flesh.
The other beasts, upon seeing this, immediately fled without daring to linger.
At that moment, the large foot slowly retracted and landed, then slowly walked to the middle of the corpses.
He was a slender and dark-skinned middle-aged man, dressed in a golden-patterned black robe, looking extremely mysterious and majestic.
His gaze swept over the surroundings, finally resting on the pile of shredded flesh and bones, his expression turning extremely solemn.
"That's Wu Qiyong."
At this moment, another figure dressed in a golden-patterned black robe suddenly appeared beside him and spoke.
"Back?"
The dark-skinned man asked.
"Yes, he found me, so I came back."
The newcomer responded and continued, "What should we do now?"
"What do you mean, what should we do?"
"Wu Qiyong is a Monster Slayer, affiliated with Ta Wu Academy, and he's a court official. He's dead just like that, and we're not going to seek justice for him?"
"Do you want to seek justice for a dead man? Don't forget that Qin Zheng is also a Monster Slayer, and how dare you assume he won't be the next Martial Sage of Great Jin?"
The other figure fell silent.
If he offended a Martial Sage who was a pillar of the country because of this matter, he might become a laughingstock in the martial world.
Even though he himself was a Half-step Martial Sage!
The dark-skinned man continued, "Don't forget who sent us here. Report everything that happened here truthfully, and don't create unnecessary trouble!"
The other figure nodded in response, "Alright!"
After a brief silence, he spoke again, "How strong do you think Qin Zheng is?"
Hearing this, the dark-skinned man didn't answer directly. Instead, he scanned the three remains once more and said, "Wu Qiyong and Liu Minhan are Half-step Martial Sages who have reached the limit of 'Essence' cultivation. Gao Lingyin is a Half-step Martial Sage who has reached the limit of 'Divinity' cultivation."
"Despite the joint siege of three Half-step Martial Sages, there are hardly any traces of battle damage here, indicating that the fight ended with a crushing victory."
"Wu Qiyong's body was shattered into a pile of flesh, while Gao Lingyin's body remained completely undamaged."
"This proves that Qin Zheng forcefully crushed them in their respective strongest areas!"
"Therefore, whether it's physical strength or psychic power, he has become powerful enough to effortlessly crush Half-step Martial Sages!"
Upon hearing the dark-skinned man's analysis, the other person instantly realized, and an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind, "You mean..."
"Great Jin might welcome a new Martial Sage!"
The dark-skinned man narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with both excitement and envy.
After a few moments, he continued, "Let's clean up the scene and return to report the news!"
"Alright!"
The other figure responded.
Then, he hesitated slightly and asked with some hesitation, "The one sent to Qingzhou is Yu Liang, and he has a hot temper. What if he offends someone?"
"Then it's none of our business, but that guy is used to being arrogant and domineering, so it's good for him to be taught a lesson."
The dark-skinned man chuckled, seemingly looking forward to seeing Yu Liang's embarrassment.
Qingzhou.
Yong'an Prefecture.
Su Zimo, Xiang Qingyu, Wei Qingshuang, Mo Xingshan, and Wu Bingyi.
The five of them gathered in the Geng Character Camp.
Above them, Wei Wujie, having replenished his essence, qi, and spirit with the Supreme Restoration Pill, had recovered his vitality.
Taking a step further from the top of the hundred-foot pole!
At this moment, Wei Wujie, after having his essence, qi, and spirit scattered, not only didn't regress but also seemed to have a sense of breaking through and standing firm. His aura shifted, hinting at a potential advancement towards the Half-step Martial Sage realm.
However, there was no joy on his face, only a heavy burden.
"Is the court also abandoning Qingzhou now that Half-Saint Hua has left?"
Wu Bingyi spoke first, breaking the silence in the camp.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the group grew even more somber.
An imperial decree from the capital city arrived, and Hua Qingyun, stationed in Qingzhou, had no choice but to obey and depart.
The vast Qingzhou was now devoid of any Half-step Martial Sage, leaving only Wei Wujie, the Supreme Grandmaster who had just recovered.
But what use could a Supreme Grandmaster be against several Sage Envoys from the Demon Den of Mogu Mountains, or the Demonic Dragon from the Black Water Demon Cave? This was the source of everyone's anxiety.
"Rest assured, the court has dispatched another Half-Saint who should arrive in Qingzhou soon."
Wei Wujie spoke slowly, soothing the group's anxiety.
However, he had a bad premonition.
The court's sudden replacement of the Half-Saint must have had a reason.
Half-Saint Hua had already been gone for several days, and the new Half-Saint hadn't shown up yet.
This delay was unusual for a Half-Saint's speed!
If this continued, and the Demonic Dragon learned of the Half-Saint's departure, leaving Qingzhou unguarded... The thought made Wei Wujie's heart heavy with anxiety.
Nevertheless, these thoughts remained within him, unknown to the others.
So, upon hearing his words, everyone's faces relaxed slightly.
"How powerful is that Blackwater Demonic Dragon?"
At this moment, Xiang Qingyu spoke up.
He and Su Zimo had stayed in Lin Yuan City and hadn't encountered the Blackwater Demonic Dragon.
"Very powerful! A hundred zhang long, riding the clouds, it's beyond our capabilities to deal with!"
"Or, to be precise, beyond the capabilities of any Martial Sage below the Half-Saint realm!"
Hearing his question, Wei Qingshuang, who had been silent for a long time, replied.
On that day outside Xuanen Prefecture, he had witnessed from a distance the Blackwater Demonic Dragon hovering above the prefecture.
That overwhelming demonic aura and its dragon roar were unforgettable.
"Sigh."
The group sighed softly upon hearing this.
Wei Wujie looked at his disciples below and suddenly recalled the figure in the golden-patterned black robe.
His new disciple, who had joined not long ago, always seemed calm and composed, unaffected by anything.
Even in the face of great crises, he could handle them with a domineering attitude.
If he were here, he probably wouldn't be sitting passively in the camp like Wei Wujie but would have charged forward with his sword.
Thinking of this, Wei Wujie's heart sank.
Observing the Enlightenment Divine Stele, he wondered how far it could take him.
He hoped that his decades of service would pay off.
"Report!"
Just then, a hurried voice sounded from outside the camp.
Everyone's faces turned solemn, and their hearts skipped a beat.
"Reporting to the General! There's unusual activity in the Mogu Mountains!"
Peh Qing's face grew serious as he spoke urgently.
Wei Wujie and the others immediately stood up, shouting sternly, "Prepare the horses!"
Roar!
Before they could even leave the camp, a deafening dragon roar echoed from above.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly stepped out, reaching outside the tent.
A vast demonic aura filled the sky, forming dark clouds that rolled in from the distance towards the camp.
Within the clouds, a hundred-zhang-long black dragon loomed, exuding a pressure that made hearts tremble.
"With Hua Qingyun gone, it seems the Great Jin Dynasty has indeed abandoned Qingzhou!"
Accompanying the thunderous dragon roar, a mocking voice echoed like rolling thunder, reverberating in all directions.
In just a few breaths, the hundred-zhang black dragon arrived above the Geng Character Camp.
Its massive body undulated within the dark clouds, and a huge dragon head emerged, gazing down at the group below.
"Wei Wujie, I know you."
The Blackwater Demonic Dragon spoke slowly.
Wei Wujie's face sank, and he tightened his grip on his spear.
The Demonic Dragon continued, "In the past, I severely injured your brother, damaging his foundation!"
With those words, Wei Wujie's veins popped out, and his eyes filled with intense rage.
"You deserve to die!"
He roared, and his vital energy burst forth. He stomped his feet on the ground and shot into the sky!
"Hmph! You're courting death!"
The Demonic Dragon sneered and opened its mouth, letting out a fierce roar.
Roar!
A wave of sound surged out, carrying overwhelming divine might, sweeping across in all directions! Boom!
In an instant, the earth shook and the sky trembled!
The entire Geng Character Camp quaked, and countless soldiers fell to the ground in pain.
Wei Wujie, who was at the forefront, was directly hit by the sound wave and knocked to the ground.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly suffering severe injuries!
