The other disciples of Xuantian Holy Land had also heard of Zi Menghan’s Innate Crippled Body, which explained why they were shocked too.

Was the aptitude test tablet back then wrong?

The Crimson Flame Peak Lord reacted a little differently. Perhaps it might be because he did not remember Zi Menghan from the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony, but when he saw that someone had blocked off Demon Emperor Qingli’s attack, he heaved a sigh of relief. Still, he was a little puzzled. This disciple’s performance was already comparable to that of the Holy Maiden’s, so which Peak Lord was able to produce such a disciple?

The elders, on the other hand, were a little embarrassed. They had just been willing to put their lives on the line as they readily burned through their divine energy and drew out their magic treasures to defend themselves, only for Zi Menghan to do so for them.

But they were not too hindered. They still unleashed the full power of their magic treasures at Demon Emperor Qingli.

When Demon Emperor Qingli saw that the elders were still ready for a fight, he snorted and activated his Blood Evil Skull to spit out another cloud of poisonous fog.

In a blink of an eye, the magic treasures were all corroded and contaminated, losing their spirituality and falling to the ground.

The few elders let out a muffled groan and hurriedly retreated as they looked on with uncertainty and shock.

Now that they had attempted to fight Demon Emperor Qingli head-on, they finally understood that Zi Menghan was able to protect them not because the poisonous fog was weak, but because the attack of the Immortal Phoenix was too overbearing!

Demon Emperor Qingli looked sinisterly at Zi Menghan and shouted. “Who are you? Which peak are you from?”

Before Zi Menghan could respond, Meng Shaofeng shouted over first. “Martial Uncle, she is Zi Menghan from Qingyun Peak! The guy in green is her master and he is the Peak Lord of Qingyun Peak! That white-robed kid is also from Qingyun Peak!”

Ye Chen immediately whipped around and gave Meng Shaofeng a cold glare.

‘You are walking a narrow path, young man!’

“There are still people alive in Qingyun Peak?”

The Demon Emperor’s eyes were full of surprise. He turned away from Zi Menghan and looked at Ye Chen “You are the current Qingyun Peak Lord?”

The power that Zi Menghan had shown was already incredible. As her master, wouldn’t he be even more powerful?

Qingyun Peak had only been destroyed by Demon Lord Cang Kong for a few years but it had already grown so powerful again so quickly?

“No! I am not! You have the wrong person!” Ye Chen denied without hesitation.

Ye Chen’s response slightly stunned the Demon Emperor. He did not expect Ye Chen to deny his identity so blatantly, and a suspicious look appeared in his eyes.

Meng Shaofeng, on the other hand, was speechless. ‘Did he just deny his own identity?’

‘Is the Qingyun Peak Lord that thick-skinned?’

Meng Shaofeng was about to say something when he saw Ye Chen wrap Zi Menghan and Li Qingzhou with his divine energy, turn them all into a beam of light, and shoot off into the distance.

‘Is he… escaping?’

Meng Shaofeng could not help but widen his eyes.

“Martial Uncle, he is really the Peak Lord of Qingyun Peak! I could see all the resources from Qingyun Peak on him, in one form or another. We have to go after him!”

Meng Shaofeng shouted as the light around his body flashed, turning him into a beam of light as he chased after Ye Chen. In a blink of an eye, he had already caught up with Ye Chen as they left the battlefield.

“All the cultivation resources of Qingyun Peak?”

Demon Emperor Qingli’s eyes lit up and he too chased after Ye Chen like a bolt of lightning.

When they noticed their enemies pursuing them, Li Qingzhou turned around and waved his hand at his sternum. The simple and unadorned Lifeless Sword landed in his hand before he attacked Meng Shaofeng in complete harmony with his sword. A vast and boundless sword intent swept out as he did.

Meng Shaofeng’s expression suddenly changed. The moment he saw the incoming attack, he felt as if he was on the verge of death! He could feel as if a target had been locked on his head and he was immobile. He could not even use Blood Shadow Escape!

Desperate, he instantly used his own vision to protect himself as a vast sea of blood appeared around him, with wails of the undead echoing with each wave. His vision made him look like an evil god of the nine netherworlds.

At the same time, Meng Shaofeng pulled out his Demon Cloud Blade. He burned through his blood essence and the Demon Cloud Blade emitted a bright bloody glow as it intercepted Li Qingzhou’s sword.

“Not good! Meng Shaofeng is in danger!”

Demon Emperor Qingli was still a little further back when he saw what was happening upfront. He knew that Meng Shaofeng would definitely not be able to withstand the incoming attack so he quickly took out a flying sword that was covered in azure frost and aimed to intercept Li Qingzhou’s Lifeless Sword from the side.

Zi Menghan was ready as she waved her hand lightly and an Ice River appeared out of thin air. Like an Ice Dragon, the river swallowed the Azure Frost Flying Sword in an instant.

The Ice River boiled before exploding, and the Azure Frost Flying Sword was temporarily put out of commission.

At the same time, Li Qingzhou’s Lifeless Sword had collided with Meng Shaofeng’s Demon Cloud Blade.

With an earth-shattering boom, Meng Shaofeng’s Demon Cloud Blade shattered into powder as the Lifeless Sword continued to cut through Meng Shaofeng’s abnormal vision like tofu. Li Qingzhou’s sword eventually struck Meng Shaofeng’s forehead.

A black demonic shadow rushed out from Meng Shaofeng’s forehead – it was the divine consciousness incarnation Meng Jiuxiao had left in his descendant’s body that acted as Meng Shaofeng’s last protective talisman.

However, it was useless.

The Lifeless Sword Intent went berserk and exploded, instantly shattering the divine consciousness incarnation of Meng Jiuxiao.

And with that, Meng Shaofeng’s head was sliced off, burning into ashes as his headless corpse fell to the ground.

Zuo Jiansheng was quite a distance away from all of these commotions but he could still feel the violent sword intent. His heart could not help but twitch.

Li Qingzhou was this strong?

‘This guy is not human. Forget it, I won’t challenge him anymore!’

“Shaofeng!”

Meng Jiuxiao let out an angry and sorrowful roar. He decisively abandoned his battle with the Xuantian Holy Maiden and the Crimson Flame Peak Lord as his demonic energy surged and turned into a blood-red stream of light that rushed him toward Li Qingzhou.

“You’re not allowed to leave!” The Crimson Flame Peak Lord shouted anxiously after Meng Jiuxiao, turning into a flaming dragon as he chased after his enemy.

The talent displayed by Li Qingzhou was too monstrous. The Crimson Flame Peak was willing to risk his life just to ensure that such a disciple would not die here.

The Xuantian Holy Maiden knew that the Crimson Flame Peak Lord’s injuries had yet to fully recover so she decided to tag along. A beautiful mountain and river spread around her body, and with each step she took, she caught up with him at an astonishing speed.

“We have to move faster!”

Ye Chen wanted to take Li Qingzhou further away from all the fanfare. Using his Imminent Skyline skill, Ye Chen started moving an additional ten miles with each step.

But he still had to make sure he didn’t move too quickly. If he ran too fast, Li Qingzhou wouldn’t be able to catch up.

Ye Chen didn’t actually want to escape. He was actually prepared to finish off the rest when there was no one else around.

Right behind the escaping duo was an extremely angry Meng Jiuxiao whose entire body was covered in blood threads as he used the Blood Shadow Escape. He instantly surpassed Demon Emperor Qingli.

“Die!”

Meng Jiuxiao let out a savage laugh as he took out the Demon Blood Cauldron filled with blood Qi. It gave off the unique pressure of a spirit treasure as it was thrown at Li Qingzhou’s head.

“Come forth!”

Li Qingzhou shouted as he pulled out the Supreme Sword Bone from his chest. It merged with the Lifeless Sword and his whole body gave off an extremely sharp sword intent.

In the next moment, the Lifeless Sword shot into the sky and turned into a boundless sword light as the boundless Lifeless Sword Intent surged around him, emitting a terrifying heavenly might.

The fusion of the Lifeless Sword with the Supreme Sword Bone meant that there was an incredible amount of boundless Lifeless Sword Intent that could barely be contained.

This sword attack was comparable to a full-strength attack from someone from Might Realm!

With a deafening boom, the Demon Blood Cauldron was sent flying away..
