C37

This year's Southern youth martial arts competition's group competition finals could be said to be extremely tragic. Naturally, it referred to the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect's side. They had only started two rounds, yet they had already lost two lives. Although the Martial Competition did not prohibit participants from killing, with a referee by their side, very few people would be killed. Unless there was an agreement between the two sides, or two people like the one from the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect had died, regardless of the consequences, it was a situation where one sought death.

After all, the two people who died in the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect were considered elite disciples of any sword sect in the south. Yet, they had lost their lives just like that. On the other hand, those who were sent out by the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect were not surprised nor happy. It seemed that the way the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect did things had nothing to do with them at all. This made people even more confused. It was as if the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect and the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect had nothing to do with each other.

Although there were two tragic battles in the competition, as long as the two sides and the organizer Jin family did not stop them, the competition would continue.

In the third round, the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect had still sent out their third disciple, Lei Lang, who was at the sixth step. The one sent out by the Heavenly Mountain Sword was a woman, and she was wearing a purple dress with her hair flowing down to her waist. As she slowly walked towards the arena, a breeze blew past her, and her hair fluttered slightly.

Who else could this woman be other than Qin Qing? When Qin Qingliang took out the six treasure-blue swords, the entire audience burst into an uproar.

"Six Treasures Blue Sword. Oh my god, I haven't seen it in decades." An old man stared with wide eyes.

"The foundations of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect are simply too deep. This year, they sent out a disciple who could be considered one of the top geniuses. Now, there are six of them. Could it be that geniuses aren't worth much anymore?"

"A daughter of heaven, what a pity that her face is covered. If only I could take a look at her." This person looked like a lackey and was on the verge of drooling.

"..."

When the Thunder Wolf saw Qin Qingliang produce the Six Treasures Azure Level Sword, it looked at the Four-Treasured Green Level Sword in its hands and steeled its heart. It immediately used a secret technique to increase its strength. Without any warning, he activated his sword art gem, sword Qi, and sword techniques at the same time. He completely disregarded defense and attacked with all his might.

However, Qin Qing's strength was much higher than Cheng Kun and Zhou Jie. She had already reached the strength of the eighth stage and could release sword Qi with just her physical strength. The might of the golden sword Qi was not something Tian Fen and the other three could compare with. Even though the Thunder Wolf's strength had increased, Qin Qing still saw it as a mere eighth level Mid Rank. It was still inferior to his own. However, Qin Qing didn't have any thoughts of underestimating her opponent. Instead, she used her ultimate move right from the start. She didn't have her usual calm personality and demeanor.

"Hundred Miles Soul Chasing Slash." Before coming up, Qin Qing had promised Li Xun that she wouldn't be lenient. The other side is already risking their lives. If you are going to be lenient, then the only one who will be in trouble will be themselves. Actually, even if Li Xun didn't say anything, Qin Qing had already planned to exhaust her opponent's strength as much as possible for Li Xun. Thus, she did not plan to hold back.

Qin Qing's sword shadows flashed consecutively as three golden sword Qis were instantly sent out. Within the sword beams, there were traces of electric snakes mixed in, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Although Lei Lang had reached the eighth stage, he still couldn't estimate the power of Qin Qing's sword Qi and his Soul Sword. Not only was his own sword Qi completely engulfed by the golden sword Qi, his own Soul Sword also fell out of his hands when it made contact with the Six Treasures Blue Sword. Being hit by the three golden sword Qis at almost the same time, even with the protection of the black inner armor, his body was heavily injured by the huge impact. Not only that, he felt his entire body becoming paralyzed, unable to move at all. This was the benefit Qin Qing gained after absorbing the lightning tiger's sword spirit. As long as his opponent was struck by his sword Qi, it would be like being struck by lightning.

Good defensive equipment was not omnipotent, but it also had a defensive limit. It had a loophole in its defense, and that also depended on the wearer's own strength. Although on the surface, the Thunder Wolf had increased its strength to be close to Qin Qing's level, and had a certain level of defense against the Golden Sword Qi by relying on the inner armor, there was actually a huge gap between him and Qin Qing in all aspects. It was not surprising that he had lost.

In the spectator stands, many people had already stood up. Qin Qing's sharp attacks had already far surpassed those of everyone who had appeared earlier. In the eyes of those people, Qin Qing's golden sword energy was sufficient to break through the defenses of that inner armor. Only then did the Thunder Wolf fall to the ground, twitching and vomiting blood. It was truly a miserable sight.

Seeing this, the referee immediately stopped the match and announced Qin Qing's victory. In fact, the Thunder Wolf was lucky. Because of this, it managed to survive.

Two people immediately came from the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect. One of them did not waste any time talking and carried the lightning wolf away. The other person took out his own Soul Sword, a Five Treasures, Cyan Rank Sword.

"Thunder Sword Sect, Thunder Lion, please enlighten me." The tone of the Thunder Lion was very flat, as if it was not affected at all by the two deaths and one serious injury.

Qin Qing was able to tell that the Thunder Lion did not use a secret technique and its strength was on par with her. Although it was a few years older than her, it was definitely one of the most outstanding younger generation. Furthermore, from the way he spoke, he could infer that this person's mind was firm and his combat experience was plentiful. He couldn't help but pay a little more attention to this Thunder Lion.

"Please."

As soon as Qin Qing finished speaking, the Thunder Lion immediately used a secret technique to increase its strength. It seemed like he knew his limits very well. If he didn't use a secret technique, he wouldn't be able to obtain victory. The Soul Sword was one level lower, and this was not a small difference. It had to be known that every time the Soul Sword increased one level, the power would increase by several times. The further the difference, the greater the difference. Furthermore, in terms of sword Qi, he was not Qin Qing's match. A person who could use the Golden Sword to release the Golden Sword Qi, how could his other sword techniques be weak? Thus, in the eyes of the Thunder Lion, only by using a secret technique to increase its strength and make up for the gap between the soul swords, as well as relying on the super strong defense of the black inner armor to resist Qin Qing's golden sword qi, would it have a chance of winning.

Qin Qing used the same 'Hundred Miles Soul Chasing Slash' as before, sending three golden sword Qis with electric snakes towards the Thunder Lion. The Thunder Lion knew how powerful this sword Qi was. Although his strength was much higher than that of the Thunder Wolf and much higher than Qin Qing's, he still did not dare to face it head on. How could the golden sword qi match properly?

The idea was good, but the reality was cruel. The Thunder Lion had only dodged two golden sword Qis, but it was still struck by a third. Who told it to be too close to Qin Qing? Although he had the energy provided by the Sword Skill Gem to reinforce him, and the inner armor to counter the golden sword qi entering his body, under this attack, the Thunder Lion still followed in the footsteps of the Thunder Wolf. Its entire body was paralyzed and it continuously twitched.

Lying on the ground, the Thunder Lion stared at Qin Qing in disbelief. It had never thought that even though it had used a secret art, it would still not be a match for Qin Qing.

At this moment, everyone turned silent. Even those who had the strength to unleash the golden sword qi had discovered something strange about Qin Qing's golden sword qi. It was completely different from their own. After being hit, his entire body would twitch and he would be unable to move. His strength was insufficient, even under the protection of the super strong inner armor, he would still be severely injured. However, those people could tell that the power of Qin Qing's Golden Sword Qi was not at their level yet. However, the effect was much stronger than theirs.

In the entire Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, only Li Xun knew of the profoundness within. However, this was Qin Qing's trump card. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not reveal it. Elder Gu originally wanted to ask Li Xun for guidance, but when he saw Li Xun turn a blind eye, he immediately understood Li Xun's thoughts. Narrowing his eyes, he smiled as he shook his head, sighing to himself that he had really become muddle-headed, forgetting to even ask what he should and shouldn't ask. Right now, Qin Qing was no longer just an ordinary elite disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Even as a Thunder Elder, he had no right to question such a bizarre golden sword Qi. Of course, Li Xun didn't know about this. He was only doing this to protect Qin Qing.
