But what Zhou Qing didn't expect was that he would actually challenge him.

After a careful observation, Zhou Qing understood Qi Yunyuan's cultivation level.

Bone refining is a great achievement.

Considering Qi Yunyuan's current age, this level of cultivation is definitely not low. He is a few years younger than Zhou Qing, and he is undoubtedly a genius.

Now that he has reached the stage of great success in bone refining, Qi Yunyuan will definitely be able to advance to marrow cleansing within the second half of this year.

But the present is the present, and the future is the future. Moreover, the gap between him and Zhou Qing will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

Let’s not talk about martial arts, just talk about the soul. It’s obvious that I’m in the early stage of manifestation of sainthood now. This is a matter that has been spread everywhere. How can you, a master of bone refining, challenge me?

What? Do you think you are the child of destiny?

Elder Qian asked, "Qi Yunyuan, the gap between you and Zhou Qing is too big. Are you sure you want to challenge him?"

"I know that Senior Brother Zhou is already a Saintly Monk. I am no match for him."

Qi Yunyuan said loudly: "But in the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, Senior Brother Zhou's demeanor has left a lasting impression on me. I have always admired Senior Brother Zhou in my heart, so I want to have a martial arts competition with Senior Brother Zhou."

"And with Senior Brother Zhou's legendary cultivation speed, he must have reached the Great Perfection of Bone Refining by now. I want to know how big the gap is between me and a genius like Senior Brother Zhou when we are at the same level."

"In this competition, regardless of success or failure, or rank, I just hope to get to see some of Brother Zhou's style."

"Please help me, Senior Brother Zhou!"

The implication was that he hoped Zhou Qing could fight him with martial arts, and not use his soul. Even if Qi Yunyuan won, he would not replace Zhou Qing's current position.

Bone Refining Mastery...

When Mr. Qian heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

On the Tianduan Stage, Qi Yunhai shook his head slightly, thinking that Xiao Yuan's move was really unwise.

Zhou Qing's martial arts marrow cleansing was a breakthrough that was done in private and was not spread widely, so not many people knew about it.

Although the masters on the Tianduan Stage could see Zhou Qing's realm, what realm were they in, and what realm was Qi Yunyuan in?

It is definitely impossible for Qi Yunyuan, a bone-refining warrior, to bypass Zhou Qing's hidden changes and see through his level to find out his true colors.

With Zhou Qing's background and so many means, if someone at a lower level than him could easily see through him, then there's no point in him practicing.

Four months ago, Zhou Qing had only achieved minor success in bone refining during the qualification test. Judging from his terrifying speed of cultivation, he must have achieved major success in bone refining by now.

Qi Yunyuan's statement cannot be said to be unreasonable.

However, that is the normal situation for Zhou Qing...

Elder Qian looked at Zhou Qing and asked, "Zhou Qing, are you willing?"

In the battle for ranking, the challenge from the lower ranking to the higher ranking should not be rejected.

But Qi Yunyuan had additional conditions, requiring Zhou Qing to only use his martial arts skills, which was naturally an exception.

It is up to Zhou Qing to decide whether to accept it.

Looking at Qi Yunyuan's fighting spirit in his eyes, Zhou Qing chuckled.

"Since Junior Brother Qi has this wish, then of course I have to satisfy Junior Brother Qi."

If you have the face to fight, why refuse?

I had totally forgotten about you, it was you who had to bring yourself to me.

I just hope that you can still be as high-spirited as you are now.

Some masters who saw Zhou Qing's martial arts skills shook their heads.

"Kunlun Mountain is clear and its peaks are as deep as the clouds."

Next to the stands where Zhou Qing and Qi Yunyuan were respectively standing, there was a chain connected to the Tianduan Stage. After hearing Elder Qian calling out their names, the two stepped onto the chain and walked onto the Tianduan Stage.

Qi Yunyuan looked at Zhou Qing and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother Zhou, please teach me."

"Then I will teach you." Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Watch carefully and learn well. I will only teach you once."

After all, this should be the only time you have the courage to challenge me in a ranking competition.

"Bang!"

There was a blast from under Qi Yunyuan's feet, and then his figure split into two, two into four...

The double images were lifelike, as if they were the real Qi Yunyuan, and they all had a strong aura.

The two shadows rushed towards Zhou Qing at full speed, with great power.

"Good form."

Zhou Qing commented, his face calm.

"call!"

The wind crackled and was split by the sword light. The sword energy was everywhere and the light was shining, all rushing towards Zhou Qing.

It is a sword with a strong sharp force and majestic aura. It is a real weapon.

"The swordsmanship is good, and the real weapon is also good."

Before Qi Yunyuan's fierce attack was about to come, Zhou Qing still took the time to comment, showing his calmness.

“Swish!”

With a flash of cold light, a sword flew across the sky and slashed directly towards one of the many Qi Yunyuans, and collided directly with the sword light.

"when!"

The sound of swords and knives rang out, the sound was piercing and piercing, echoing between heaven and earth.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, all the phantoms disappeared, the sword light dimmed, and a figure shot out and flew far away.

The person flying backwards was Qi Yunyuan.

His footsteps on the Tianduan Terrace were extremely hurried, and he used his sword as a stick. It took him a long time to steady his body.

Looking at his face, there was an unusual redness, his blood was surging, and his arm was in great pain.

But no matter how hot his blood was, it couldn't dispel the chill in Qi Yunyuan's heart.

He stared at Zhou Qing intently and said, "Marrow Cleansing Realm, how is it possible..."

As he spoke, a streak of bright red flowed from the corner of his mouth.

As Zhou Qing took action, his cultivation level was naturally revealed and became known to everyone.

Not only Qi Yunyuan, but also the other true disciples who had not been able to see through Zhou Qing's cultivation level were shocked.

Marrow Cleansing Realm? !

When Zhou Qing was taking the test for the qualification to inherit the true teachings, wasn’t he only successful in bone refining?

Up to now, only four months have passed, and he has actually cultivated to the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

In four months, he completed the Great Bone Refining, the Ultimate Bone Refining, and the breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing realm...

Some people secretly swallowed their saliva. Just a simple calculation showed that such a high speed of cultivation was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Sister Lu, what's going on with Junior Brother Zhou?"

Shi Yi, who was among the top 20 true disciples, was also stunned at this time.

Lu Yuanyuan shook her head blankly.

"I don't know either."

The exposure of Zhou Qing's cultivation undoubtedly caused a small storm.

The ten great disciples above were also looking at Zhou Qing, their eyes were inexplicable and their thoughts were endless.

Judging from the speed of cultivation alone, he is really a monster.

Zhou Qing held the sword behind his back, looked at Qi Yunyuan, and asked:

"Junior Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Yunyuan took a deep breath, and his fingers holding the knife turned white.

I was careless.

No, it’s this Zhou Qing. It’s too incredible.

But Qi Yunyuan couldn't just give up after Zhou Qing revealed his Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivation.

"Brother Zhou's rapid progress is admirable."

Qi Yunyuan shouted angrily, "But my heart of martial arts will not be afraid!"

He rushed forward again, but was chopped away by Zhou Qing at an even faster speed. He fell heavily to the ground, looking even more embarrassed.

Your martial arts heart?

What the hell! Many people saw this scene and shook their heads. The gap between the two sides was too big to be bridged.

At this time, something strange happened on Qi Yunyuan's side.

I saw a brilliant golden light bursting out there, and each ray of golden light was filled with an extremely strong cutting force, accompanied by an unfathomable majesty, as if an emperor was born and the Buddha opened his eyes.

The power of heaven and earth roared up in this process and was used by Qi Yunyuan.

Higher-level Heavenly Martial Arts? Zhou Qing became interested when he saw this. He didn't know this Heavenly Martial Arts. Qi Yunyuan had been practicing in seclusion for the past few months and had not leaked any information about himself, so there was no way for him to collect intelligence.

However, the golden light all over the sky is indeed majestic and not weak.

Let me see what's going on.

It seemed slow but was actually fast. In an instant, Qi Yunyuan disappeared from the spot and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhou Qing.

He came with his sword drawn, the sword was shining with golden light and his divine power was magnificent.

"Tianwu is not bad."

Even when the knife was about to be used, Zhou Qing still did not forget to comment and gave instructions to the end.

Then Taibai flashed, and the blood-red light covered the sky and the earth. The murderous intent soared into the sky and directly covered the golden light.

Faced with such horrific murderous intent, Qi Yunyuan felt a chill in his heart and even developed a feeling of fear.

The sword is full of killing intent and swords are clashing.

"boom!"

The bloody murderous intent completely swallowed up the golden light, and then with a cry of pain, Qi Yunyuan flew out again, struggling on the ground.

Zhou Qing took the initiative to disperse and annihilate the aftermath of the energy that was dissipating from the heaven and earth. He still stood safely without any problems.

Elder Qian shook his head and sent Qi Yunyuan back to his stand.

Zhou Qing glanced at Qi Yunyuan who was supported by others, shook his head and whispered.

"People still need more practice."

Zhou Qing could have killed Qi Yunyuan instantly from the beginning, but he still gave Junior Brother Qi a chance to use his Tianwu skills.

After all, Mr. Zhou is kind-hearted.

In short, his body movements, swordsmanship, weapons, etc. are all good, but his personality is not very good.

Some people laughed out loud, and some of the higher-ups of Xuandu Temple in the sky also smiled.

"This kid is really crazy."

"Ha, if I had behaved like him when I was young, I would have been crazier than him."

"He just used the Seven Killing Sword, right? The Seven Killing Sword breaks the Heavenly Sword, and the True Blood Martial Arts breaks the Heavenly Martial Arts. Hey, that's interesting."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"His attainments in the Seven Killing Sword are not low. Even those who have been practicing the Seven Killing Sword since childhood may not be as good as him, not to mention that there are simply not many people who can practice this sword technique. This Zhou Qing not only has a fast realm, but also a high level of comprehension."

"Fortunately, I didn't have such a junior brother when I was young, otherwise, the pressure would be too great."

"There is a new and remarkable person among this generation of disciples."

“…”

Many senior executives admired Zhou Qing and thought that both his talent for cultivation and his understanding were satisfactory.

But since there are people who admire him, naturally there are also people who look at Zhou Qing and feel annoyed with him.

"Humph, so arrogant, after achieving some small success, you don't even know your last name."

"The country folk really don't know etiquette."

There were some senior executives who disliked Zhou Qing for various reasons, and they all had some bad thoughts in their minds.

Don’t they know that Zhou Qing’s performance is amazing?

Of course I know.

If Zhou Qing was their disciple, they would be overjoyed.

But there are no ifs.

Objectively speaking, it is a good thing.

But from a subjective point of view, I just want to deny for the sake of denying.

Elder Qian first signaled Zhou Qing with his eyes not to leave in a hurry, and then asked:

"But there are still people who want to challenge Zhou Qing."

His attention was mainly on the new true disciples who were in the same period as Zhou Qing. Only these four were ranked lower than Zhou Qing.

The battle for ranking lasted for three days. In principle, every true disciple had to take action to demonstrate his or her improvement in strength.

"I would also like to ask Senior Brother Zhou for advice."

Yin Xing and the other two all expressed this.

Since they have to take action anyway, they don’t have many choices, so they might as well fight Zhou Qing.

Even if we lose, it's a reasonable loss.

As for whether their ranking can improve, they don't actually need to consider that.

It is understandable that the new true disciples have not made much progress in their rankings this year, and Xuandu Temple will not have high expectations for them.

Zhou Qing accepted all the challenges from Yin Xing and the other two, but the fighting process would naturally not be the same as that of Qi Yunyuan.

The result was no different from Qi Yunyuan's. All of them were defeated by Zhou Qing.

After four battles, Zhou Qing's strength was fully demonstrated.

Elder Qian asked Zhou Qing again: "Zhou Qing, do you have any ideas?"

"have."

Zhou Qing nodded, his eyes moved to a person in the stands nearby, and then he smiled.

"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother Su Yu."

Su Yu, who had once had a verbal argument with Zhou Qing in the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods, was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Zhou Qing to challenge him.

But after he reacted, he didn't hesitate at all, his soul left his body and flew to Tianduantai.

Su Yu looked at Zhou Qing with a subtle smile on her face.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you really surprised me."

"I've actually always wanted to see whether Senior Brother Su's hand skills are as amazing as his mouth skills."

Zhou Qing said calmly: "I hope that Senior Brother Su will not hold back on this opportunity today and let me see Senior Brother Su's style."

Su Yu's face darkened as he thought of what had happened in the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods.

However, in the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods, it is obviously you who is the one with a sharp tongue and speaks in a way that makes people so angry that they can't eat.

You are so good, Zhou Qing, now you are trying to turn the tables! Su Yu chose to ignore the fact that he was the first one to mock Zhou Qing in the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods.

It's never me who's wrong, it's always others!

"I won't let you down, brother."

Su Yu asked expressionlessly, "Why, Junior Brother, do you want to fight me with your marrow-cleansing body that should have just broken through not long ago?"

Su Yu is at the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood, and is not far from the late stage.

Zhou Qing had just been promoted to the stage of marrow cleansing not long ago, while he had been practicing in the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood for quite some time. He couldn't imagine how Zhou Qing, as a warrior, could defeat him.

Zhou Qing smiled and said:

"That's enough."

Arrogant and conceited, looking down on others.

Anger rose in Su Yu's heart. I'll see how you can still be so arrogant when I step on you!

"Then please."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Qing had disappeared, and Su Yu's soul flashed and fled directly from the spot.

Whether it is Zhou Qing or him, they are sure to be able to use Yin Shen escape technique and Zhen Xue body technique.

Su Yu was born in the Su family, so he has no shortage of things in this regard, and Zhou Qing has been blessed with all kinds of opportunities. Not to mention the heavenly-level Taoist magic and martial arts, he has also acquired Yin-Shen Taoism and True Blood martial arts. Basically, he has things useful in every aspect.

But Su Yu's expression changed immediately. A sharp edge was fixed on him, as if he was being stabbed in the back. Even if he escaped, this feeling still did not disappear.

This undoubtedly shows that Zhou Qing is faster than him!

But his realm is obviously higher!

The next second, cold sword lights flashed around his soul and then stabbed at him.

It’s a real artifact. It’s indeed a real artifact.

A seven-story pagoda appeared above Su Yu's head, emitting a hazy light to protect him.

This is also a magical artifact.

As a true disciple born in the Su family, divine weapons are a must-have for him.

But the sword light was too bright, too dazzling. It was everywhere in the sky and on the ground, left and right, and it was omnipresent. It was divided into thousands and was so powerful that Su Yu's soul felt a bone-chilling chill.

Such situations all show that Zhou Qing's strength can threaten him.

This made Su Yu a little unbelievable, but at the same time he reacted quickly.

The light of the seven-story pagoda became more and more brilliant, and then the vitality of heaven and earth surged, and a barrier condensed and wrapped him inside.

Yin Shen defensive Taoist art.

Then Su Yu, despite the heavy sword energy, forced himself up into the sky, trying to distance himself from Zhou Qing.

He is a cultivator and Zhou Qing is a warrior.

Although the holy soul seems real, just like a physical body, it is not afraid of a head-on collision with a warrior's physical body.

But keeping a distance and bombarding with Taoist magic is what a cultivator should do. He is not afraid of head-on confrontation, but there is no reason to use his own weakness to attack others' strengths.

Making it so that no warriors can get close to you and being overwhelmed by the Taoist magic in the air, that is the real way of fighting for a cultivator.

Of course, there are definitely a very small number of melee monks in the world, but they are actually outliers.

But something happened that surprised Su Yu. When he saw him flying up, Zhou Qing, who appeared from a state of being as fast as an invisible, actually had fiery red wings behind him. Then he spread his wings and flew up as well!

That pair of wings were not made of flesh and blood, but were outlined by flames. They looked noble and beautiful, but they contained powerful strength, enough to support a person soaring above the sky.

And the speed was so fast that he appeared in front of Su Yu's soul in a flash and continued to chase it relentlessly.

What the hell, you can fly with your physical body?!

Su Yu was caught off guard by this sudden change. The seven-story pagoda suddenly grew larger and hit Zhou Qing directly.

At the same time, the tower was also glowing, and the light spread across the sky and earth, as if forming a territory that wanted to restrict Zhou Qing.

But those wings were too magical and unpredictable. When they flapped, they disappeared without a trace. Their speed was so fast that it was unimaginable, even faster than Su Yu's soul flying at full speed.

Moreover, the power in the wings was extremely special. It directly broke through Su Yu's artifact field and could not restrict Zhou Qing at all.

This sudden change caused Su Yu to be chased and attacked by Zhou Qing, and he immediately fell into a disadvantage.

The most important thing is that Zhou Qing in this state is too fast, difficult to catch, and impossible to react.

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

"It's not a martial art, it should be a special ability. This pair of wings seems to be the wings of a phoenix. The flames flowing on them are the true fire of the phoenix. I have seen this kind of flame before."

"Amazing... Could it be that Zhou Qing has some kind of relationship with the Phoenix Clan? From what I've seen, the Phoenix True Fire is not an ordinary level."

"What a pair of divine wings. They can't be restricted when they move. With these divine wings, few practitioners of the same realm can compare with Zhou Qing in speed."

This sudden change also caused others to talk about it, including the senior management, who were a little surprised.

This pair of phoenix wings has received much praise.

The battle scene on the Tianduan Stage showed them the specialness of this pair of divine wings.

Zhou Qing flew in the sky with his mortal body, freely and easily, without any constraints, as if he was a real phoenix.

In the face of such extreme speed, Su Yu, who was obviously a soul body, seemed a little clumsy when flying freely.

Like a clown being made fun of.
