This old man is Murong Qin, the one sent by the Murong family that Kong Liming just mentioned.
Judging from the aura emanating from the old man, his cultivation level was actually a grade higher than Chen Zhou's, at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Although those in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot stand in mid-air, they can briefly float in the air using their true energy.
At this moment, Murong Qin was in this state, with clusters of purple true energy gathering beneath his feet, allowing him to temporarily levitate in the air.
"Who are you? Why did you provoke my Murong family? And why did you publicly kill my Murong family's guards stationed at the Southern Kingdom's gate?" Murong Qin's face was stern as he stared intently at Chen Zhou. He had already locked onto Chen Zhou's aura, so he could also tell what Chen Zhou's strength was.
A Foundation Establishment stage expert! I never expected another Foundation Establishment stage expert to arrive from the Southern Kingdom.
Murong Qin greatly valued talent, and Kong Liming was one of those he kept. What the Southern Kingdom lacked most were cultivators. If a Foundation Establishment stage expert like Chen Zhou could submit, killing Kong Liming and a few ordinary guards would be nothing.
However, if this Foundation Establishment stage expert in front of him remains obstinate, Murong Qin will have no choice but to follow the orders assigned by his family and capture him alive or dead.
"I am just a wanderer, and I have nothing to do with the Peng family." Chen Zhou stood still on the rooftop, not moving. He had no time to think about his Qi and Blood Points. He had to deal with this Foundation Establishment stage expert's troubles first.
"If you are willing to submit to my Murong family, all of this can be considered as if it never happened," Murong Qin said slowly.
It should be noted that cultivators are extremely rare in the Southern Kingdom. Every additional Foundation Establishment stage or higher expert could tip the balance of power in the Southern Kingdom to one side.
"I've already said, I'm just a wanderer, so naturally I won't join any family," Chen Zhou continued. Want to join the Murong family? How naive.
Chen Zhou had no desire to join any family, as that would inevitably lead to various family conflicts. He just wanted to live a quiet and carefree life!
As someone who's destined to be a salted fish, Chen Zhou understands this very well.
"Then you have offended my Murong family, so die!" Murong Qin was very clear that this Foundation Establishment expert had entered the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age, and his future prospects were bound to be limitless. Now that the Murong family had already made an enemy of him, if they did not eliminate him as soon as possible, he might become a real nuisance in the future.
Such a genius, if he grows up, will likely become the next cultivator from the South.
The situation for the Murong family will be dire at that time!
Murong Qin was dressed in a purple robe with a long sword at his waist. He had already taken the sword out and was holding it in his hand. The sword looked quite extraordinary, but it was far inferior to Chen Zhou's soul weapon.
"Purple Sun Spirit Technique!" Murong Qin murmured, his aura suddenly rising as his main cultivation technique was fully activated.
Rings of purple true energy swirled around Murong Qin, and a terrifying aura swept over Chen Zhou.
"This main cultivation technique can actually temporarily boost strength?" Chen Zhou said dejectedly. Murong Qin was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to begin with, but now that he had activated his main cultivation technique, the Purple Sun Spirit Technique, his strength had increased, and he was vaguely approaching the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
Chen Zhou had indeed underestimated the Murong family of the Southern Kingdom. He originally thought that even if they were at the Foundation Establishment stage, they would only be cultivating some low-level main cultivation techniques. He did not expect that their techniques were indeed quite impressive.
However, Chen Zhou was not afraid, because he also had a premeditated array.
Chen Zhou can only control two formations at the moment. If he had to choose between two formations, he would never choose the Intentional Formation to confront Murong Qin head-on, as that would be too disadvantageous. Chen Zhou chose the Imprisoned Dragon Formation and the Crimson Dragon Formation.
"Purple Intent Sword Technique!"
Murong Qin shouted loudly, and his longsword suddenly flew out of his hand. True energy remained on the hilt of the longsword, and it struck Chen Zhou!
Murong Qin's swordsmanship actually involved using true qi to control the longsword. Chen Zhou was seeing this kind of swordsmanship for the first time and found it quite novel. Indeed, the world is full of wonders.
The longsword controlled by true qi was not weak and powerless; on the contrary, it was more powerful and more accurate. After getting close to Chen Zhou, each attack was aimed at Chen Zhou's vital points.
Chen Zhou had to dodge them one by one, which resulted in him being delayed by the longsword.
At this moment, Murong Qin was free. He had been waiting for this opportunity. As long as the Purple Intent Sword Technique could hold off Chen Zhou, he would have a chance to launch a sneak attack from the side!
Murong Qin has defeated countless Foundation Establishment stage experts using this tactic.
Murong Qin's fists were slowly enveloped in a layer of purple true energy, making it look from a distance as if he were wearing boxing gloves.
Murong Qin quickly approached Chen Zhou, his speed comparable to Chen Zhou's peak Yan Ying Ghost Step technique, and soon he was close to Chen Zhou.
A simple sweeping punch landed squarely on Chen Zhou's face, giving him no chance to dodge.
"Bang!"
With a loud thud, Chen Zhou was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the roof of a house, creating a dent in the roof. Chen Zhou nearly fell through.
This demonstrates the power of that punch.
Chen Zhou didn't feel the fist make contact with his face, but he was still injured. It must be the true qi gauntlet that was causing the injury.
Before Chen Zhou could fully stand up, the long sword attacked again.
After this round of competition, Chen Zhou roughly figured out Murong Qin's attack patterns.
Gripping his heavy sword tightly, Chen Zhou prepared for the next attack, this time already having some strategies in mind.
"Bang......"
The heavy sword and the longsword clashed heavily. The longsword did not change its moves, but instead increased the intensity of its true energy to put more pressure on Chen Zhou.
