Chapter 505: Battle

Chapter 505: Battle

The space transformed by the Fourth Rank magic tool, Myriad Layers Peak, was originally vast, but now it's gradually collapsing, causing the entire space to tremor. More and more spatial fissures, and even spatial turbulence, are appearing all around.

The Divine Sense of Gold Core cultivators has been greatly disturbed, and various detection spells are becoming less effective.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters chasing after those clusters of light quickly split up, making it difficult to maintain communication with each other.

As Meng Zhang advanced, he collected several clusters of light, but with time passing, it became increasingly challenging, and the number of clusters he could find decreased.

The extent of the space collapse deepened, and Meng Zhang began to consider retreating. If he lingered here for too long and got trapped until the space completely collapsed, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would struggle to survive.

Suddenly, a large crimson cluster of light, noticeably larger than the others, flew towards Meng Zhang from the left. A figure was closely chasing after it.

Without hesitation, Meng Zhang accelerated and captured the red cluster of light in his hand.

A sharp force struck mercilessly towards Meng Zhang, who dodged to the side, staring coldly at Qin Hongying, who was flying towards him.

At this moment, Qin Hongying showed no self-restraint as a Taiyi Sect guest elder, shouting with a fierce expression, "Daoist Master Meng, hand over the item, and I'll let you go."

No one would willingly give up something they obtained with effort.

According to the customs of the Cultivation World, at times like this, it's each individual's ability that determines ownership. Qin Hongying's attitude of taking Meng Zhang for granted infuriated him.

Nevertheless, Meng Zhang suppressed his anger and said, "Qin Daoist Master, don't forget, when we entered here, we made a vow to cooperate and face the enemy together."

"You voluntarily bound yourself by the vow. Aren't you afraid of being troubled by inner demons in the future?"

Qin Hongying had been chasing after this particular cluster of light, which was clearly different from the rest, in hopes that it contained something extraordinary that could aid her. Without Layered Mystery Sect's heritage or pills to break through her cultivation base, her lifespan couldn't be prolonged.

With her life nearly at its end, she didn't care about the inner demons vow. Besides, dealing with inner demons could wait until later. Resolving the immediate crisis was the priority.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Moreover, there were ways to break the inner demons vow. Qin Hongying was experienced and knowledgeable enough to find a solution.

Seeing that Meng Zhang showed no intention of yielding, Qin Hongying stopped wasting words and launched an attack against him.

Meng Zhang's patience reached its limit with Qin Hongying's blatant disregard. Now, he could retaliate without any pressure since she had already broken the inner demons vow.

In truth, if Qin Hongying had a better attitude and negotiated with Meng Zhang properly, he might have considered sharing the cluster of light with her to gain her favor. However, her attitude of treating Meng Zhang as nothing and trying to forcefully seize the item provoked his anger.

Especially the ruthless sneak attack she made at the beginning heightened Meng Zhang's killing intent.

Recalling the condescending attitude Qin Hongying displayed in the past, old grievances surged in Meng Zhang's heart, fueling his fury.

Both parties fought fiercely, employing their regular techniques, and the outcome was inconclusive for a while.

However, up until now, they had only used conventional methods, holding back their hidden cards and ultimate moves.

Compared to Qin Hongying, Meng Zhang seemed relatively immature. His combat experience, especially in battles against human Gold Core Daoist Masters, was not extensive.

In the past, Luo YeDaoist Master and Gu Yue Huaidie sparred with him many times, but those sparring sessions were limited and didn't involve using killing moves.

Now, the battle between Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying was a life-and-death struggle, an entirely different kind of fight.

Seizing the opportunity of her injuries, Meng Zhang managed to barely contend with her.

With Meng Zhang's outstanding aptitude, he gained valuable combat experience in this life-or-death struggle, learning about Qin Hongying's ever-increasing repertoire of techniques.

As time passed, Meng Zhang became more adept in this battle. His progress was evident in the ongoing fight.

Qin Hongying, being seasoned and experienced in numerous battles among Gold Core Daoist Masters, quickly noticed this development. Her face turned grim, filled with anger.

Originally, she didn't hold Endless Sea of Sand, this remote and impoverished place, in high regard. Before fighting Meng Zhang, she felt she had a psychological advantage, always maintaining a lofty posture.

However, now that she truly clashed with Meng Zhang, she realized she had underestimated her opponent.

Firstly, the environment was not suitable for a fight to the death, and secondly, everyone's main goal was to search and capture those light clusters. So no one was interested in prolonged battles, and each encounter was brief, quickly separating.

Meng Zhang later encountered Qi Nanfei and Hong Siming separately. After testing the waters, they each went their own way.

After flying a considerable distance, they were about to leave this space. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhang encountered Qin Hongying again.

When Meng Zhang appeared, Qin Hongying was fighting Wu Mingwei.

In order to seize a light cluster, Qin Hongying had Wu Mingwei firmly suppressed, with the intention of killing him.

Meng Zhang had entered here together with Qin Hongying, so naturally, they were companions.

Even Qin Hongying couldn't resist, let alone Meng Zhang.

Worried about being surrounded by the two, Wu Mingwei made a move that surprised both of them. He took out a bunch of light clusters he had just captured and threw them forcefully in all directions.

Qin Hongying immediately gave up attacking Wu Mingwei and started collecting the light clusters around her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Mingwei desperately broke free from the battle and fled at full speed.

Meng Zhang sighed at Wu Mingwei's decision and eagerly collected the light clusters he had thrown.

When Meng Zhang appeared, Qin Hongying had no intention of continuing to entangle with Wu Mingwei. Wu Mingwei took the initiative to escape, which happened to be in line with her intentions.

The number of light clusters in this batch was not many and was quickly snatched up by Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying.

Then, without any warning, they suddenly launched fierce attacks against each other.

Qin Hongying directly used a high-grade Third Rank talisman, intending to kill Meng Zhang in one strike.

Meng Zhang, on the other hand, used the Thunder Child given to him by Jin Li Daoist Master last time. He had been carefully preserving it and hadn't used it up yet.

The Thunder Child's casting speed was much faster than that of the Third Rank talisman. The Thunder Child was about to approach Qin Hongying, while the talisman was still floating in front of her, emitting a dazzling light.

Feeling the thunderous aura contained in the Thunder Child, Qin Hongying didn't dare to resist head-on and had to dodge, retreating repeatedly.

The Thunder Child exploded next to the Third Rank talisman, triggering the terrifying power contained within it.

The powerful explosion swept over, engulfing Qin Hongying, who couldn't avoid it in time.

Qin Hongying's body flickered with light, exhausting her protective items, before barely withstanding the power of the explosion.

Before she could catch her breath, the Fierce Yang Sword and Shadow Killing Sword attacked from both sides, and she had to fight with all her might.

Qin Hongying, who had lost the initiative, temporarily fell into a disadvantageous position.

Meng Zhang pushed the Strange and Upright Sword Art to its limit but still couldn't defeat Qin Hongying.

While the two were fiercely battling, another person appeared near the battlefield.

When Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying entered the main peak, the Extreme Sword Spirit General, who was in the Foundation Building stage, was too slow and didn't catch up in time, thus avoiding a series of subsequent changes.

When the Gold Core Daoist Masters fought against the remnants of the White Lion Demon King, the Extreme Sword Spirit General knew that his strength was far from recovered and he didn't have the qualifications to participate in such a battle, so he stayed far away.

Later, when the remnants of the White Lion Demon King self-detonated and the light clusters scattered, the Extreme Sword Spirit General, who was in the distance, quietly joined the chase.

Feeling that the space was about to completely collapse and starting to leave, the Extreme Sword Spirit General happened to encounter Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying fighting.
