At this moment, an invisible force was clashing fiercely between the Earth Elder and the Chinese War God. Although neither of them made a move, their martial spirits had already clashed.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently, and even the surrounding mountains swayed, making the whole world seem to be shaking.
“My lord, times have changed. You used to be the God of War of China, but after so many years, you have been afflicted by the fire poison, and your cultivation has stagnated. You are no longer capable.”
While controlling his martial spirit, Di Lao tried to disturb the mind of the Chinese War God with words.
"Little Doyle," the Chinese War God said disdainfully.
No sooner had she finished speaking than an explosion suddenly rang out in mid-air. Di Lao staggered back three steps, her blood and qi churning wildly within her body. Clearly, she had lost the battle of martial spirits.
The old man's eyes darkened, and he forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, taking out a black battle sword of the highest grade magic weapon level and holding it in his hand.
The black sword was seven feet long, its surface stained with patches of crimson blood.
As the old man poured his inner energy into the sword, streams of cold, dark power emanated from it, spreading in all directions like the tentacles of an octopus.
"Boundless darkness!"
A moment later, the space within a hundred meters of Di Lao became a completely dark world.
From a distance, it looks like a huge black sphere with a diameter of 100 meters, suspended above the cave.
The black sphere emitted a chilling aura, causing the ground to freeze into a thick layer of ice. The nearby mountains and distant forests were also completely covered with ice crystals.
"Boom!"
The black sphere crushed towards the Chinese God of War.
The God of War of China snorted coldly, grabbed a battle axe in the air with his right hand, and his whole body emitted a dazzling golden light, his pupils seemed to be burning.
"Break!"
He suddenly jumped up, swung his battle axe, and cleaved it.
The black sphere of light, a hundred meters in diameter, was concave and wobbling.
With a loud bang, the black orb of light was cleaved in two by the battle axe.
"boom!"
The Chinese War God landed back on the ground, leaving two deep footprints, and stood behind the Earth Elder, the golden light on his body gradually fading away.
The streets on the ground were torn apart, leaving a crack more than a hundred meters long. The stone slabs turned into rubble, and the distant forests were all cut down by the overflowing axe energy, becoming ruins.
The force of a single axe stroke was earth-shattering.
"Smack!"
The old man's body split in two and flew to the left and right, leaving only a patch of crimson blood on the ground.
Thus, a newly promoted peak early-stage Heaven Realm expert perished in the forest of the Twin Peaks Mountains.
The Chinese War God gazed intently at the distant woods, murmuring, "A great era is about to begin."
At the same time, Shi Mengqi and Qingran were both startled by the sound behind them, so they sped up a bit. Fortunately, Wang Hao had taught her the cultivation method of the Flying Dragon Shadow Technique some time ago.
However, when she saw that Qingran also knew this movement technique, Shi Mengqi felt a little jealous, but she knew that now was not the time to dwell on it.
Qingran, standing to the side, was equally unsettled. She knew more about the situation and was shocked by Shi Mengqi's cultivation speed, even with her A+ level martial arts aptitude.
It's impossible to have such cultivation in such a short time, unless it's the legendary S-level physique. Thinking of this, Qingran's gaze towards Shi Mengqi changed slightly.
"That makes sense. A mere A+ level genius shouldn't be valued so much by the Li family. Only an S-level physique that has never appeared before would be valued by those old guys."
At this point, Qingran vaguely guessed Shi Mengqi's true aptitude. Presumably, claiming to be A+ was just a form of self-protection, but the Li family still found out.
"boom!"
A loud bang interrupted their thoughts, and the explosion forced them to stop.
"Run! Keep running!" The Rat's voice came from in front of the two women, while the Dragon and Ox caught up from behind in an instant, forming a triangle.
Zishu held a long knife. Although his expression was obscured by a mask, his tone revealed his extreme anger.
“This rat is already injured. I’ve also placed some landmines on the damaged array plate. Even a powerful Earth Realm expert wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed.”
Qingran glanced at the cute-looking Shi Mengqi with surprise and doubt, not expecting that she would have such a scheme.
"In this situation, should you come or should I?" Faced with the encirclement, Shi Mengqi did not panic, but instead took out the Boundless Divine Sword, preparing to fight with all her might.
Qingran smiled slightly, holding a sapphire blue longsword, and said, "As your senior sister, it is natural for me to deal with powerful enemies. Let's have a competition and see who can defeat their opponent first."
“Fine, let’s see if you kill this Earth Realm cultivator first, or if I deal with those two Profound Realm Grand Perfection cultivators first,” Shi Mengqi said without backing down.
Hearing their conversation, the three rats were filled with rage. They roared and launched an attack.
Shi Mengqi moved swiftly, transforming into a wisp of fragrant breeze, directly blocking the attacking Chenlong and Chouniu. The three engaged in a fierce battle, their sword and saber energies intertwining.
Trees several meters thick fell in droves.
Qingran glanced at Shi Mengqi and found that she was fighting two opponents at once without any pressure, and her true cultivation level had reached the peak of the late stage of the Profound Realm.
"Rabbit, how dare you betray the young master? Aren't you afraid of the soul-controlling curse in your head?!" Rat said in a deep voice, while constantly changing its position.
He tried to find Qingran's weakness, but found that with his early Earth Realm cultivation, he couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.
Qingran knew what Zishu was thinking, but didn't care. Instead, she smiled and said, "The Soul Control Curse has been lifted. It was the Dean of the Burning Lamp Academy who told me the method."
"What?! You actually broke the Soul Control Curse?!" Zi Shu exclaimed in surprise.
But at that moment, Qingran moved with lightning speed, like a ghost, instantly closing in, his sapphire-blue longsword slashing forward like a crescent moon.
"You little thief!"
Zishu roared angrily and quickly raised his hand to block. Fortunately, he had put on his gauntlets beforehand, otherwise he would have been unable to block the sudden sword strike.
"Bang!"
The longsword collided with the gauntlet, and the powerful force traveled through Zishu's arm and throughout his body, causing his blood and qi to surge.
"What terrifying power! You've made it onto the Xuan Ranking?!" Zi Shu was greatly shocked, because the secret guards only had code names and did not know each other's real names.
Qingran sneered and ignored him, pouring his abundant spiritual energy into the longsword, which then emitted a white sword light.
"Flowing Cloud Sword Song!"
The sword energy surged forward like a thick cloud, even carving deep trenches half a meter deep into the ground below.
"Fiery Palm!"
The rat's right palm was covered by a layer of flames, and a palm print several feet in size appeared out of thin air, even setting nearby tree branches on fire.
