Chapter 36
“Swish!”
Judging from Chen Qingke’s proficiency in controlling her magical artifacts, it was not a problem for her to go against two people for some time.
The small bronze cauldron looked like it was the size of a palm, but it seemed to exert a thousand tons of gravity on people.
This caused the two senior brothers who were blocking her to have more flaws appear in their cooperation and make it difficult for them to continue.
Moreover, she also had a small bronze sword magical artifact. It drew an extremely fast trajectory in the air, threatening people from time to time.
To control two magical artifacts at the same time and use them with such proficiency while still only being at the qi refinement stage was like drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other. Whether it was spiritual qi or spells, she had clearly cultivated both to a profound level.
The disciples who saw this from the side could not help but be shocked.
This junior sister of theirs was truly extraordinary.
Even though there had always been rumors about her in the sect, rumors such as her cultivation speed being very fast, and her ability to comprehend immortal techniques being particularly excellent…
But after all, they had never gotten to see her in an actual battle.
Only now did everyone know how powerful she was.
The two senior brothers who were fighting Chen Qingke, in particular, had their arms go sluggish. One of them was wearing a daoist robe and wielding a horsetail whisk, while the other was wearing a black shirt and chanting spells. Even with their advantage in numbers, they were having a difficult time holding on against Chen Qingke.
The two of them could only rely on their dense spiritual qi to hold on and exhaust Chen Qingke’s energy.
After all, Chen Qingke’s consumption would naturally be much greater as she was controlling two magical artifacts.
It seemed that there would be no conclusive result on this side for some time.
Everyone could only hope that the other side would be the breakthrough point.
However, when they turned around, their expressions changed again!
Li Ming dodged and dodged under the siege of the two perfected qi refinement disciples.
Li Ming was actually not defeated by two perfected qi refinement cultivators?
Among them, there was even a young talent who had also reached the perfected level of the qi refinement stage within a year.
That young talent was Sun Yifan, who could compete with Chen Qingke in terms of cultivation speed back then.
At this moment, a white jade disc in his hand was emitting waves of light.
One of the flowing lights brushed past Li Ming’s side and landed on the stone wall, immediately creating a huge crack in the earth. It was very powerful.
However, in the eyes of the others, this was more of what it looked like…
Even when using a magical artifact, he can’t take down Li Ming?!
“What’s going on?”
The audience felt that it was very strange.
Even if Li Ming had reached the ninth level of the qi refinement stage, there were two perfected qi refinement cultivators who were attacking him.
To the spectators, the two seemed as if they were definitely holding back and not exerting their full strength.
But seeing as they were facing Li Ming, it was reasonable for them not to use their full strength.
However, this was not a usual fight.
With the current situation, shouldn’t they get rid of Li Ming as fast as they could and then attack Chen Qingke together with the other perfected qi refinement disciples?
Immediately, the surrounding disciples became more and more anxious as they watched, and they directly cursed out in anger.
“Sun Yifan! What are you doing at such a critical moment?”
“Senior Brother Hao, hurry up and take him down!”
“If you let him escape, what face will you have?”
Being scolded by the other disciples, the two perfected qi refinement disciples who were fighting Li Ming felt very wronged.
This kid looked like he was only at the ninth level of the qi refinement stage, but he was very slippery. He dodged every single one of their important attacks.
They wanted to launch full-on attacks, but Li Ming did not want to fight them head-on.
This scene made the onlooking disciples, who were blocking the various routes by the sides, feel extremely anxious.
Even some ninth-level qi refinement disciples could not help but launch attacks at Li Ming as well.
They were attacking Li Ming altogether.
Suddenly, all kinds of magical techniques, such as fireball and wind blade, flew toward Li Ming.
Of course, the power of these magical techniques was not as great as the attacks of Senior Brother Hao and Sun Yifan, but there was more of them.
If these disciples directly interfered in the battle between Chen Qingke and the two perfected qi refinement cultivators, they might have actually been of some use.
However, the one who they launched their attacks at was Li Ming.
Just now, Li Ming had ransacked the spiritual land that they had used as bait and had even slipped away from right in front of them.
They had finally found an outlet to vent their anger.
“Kill Li Ming!”
A group of people rushed toward Li Ming, continuously casting magical techniques while they moved.
When Li Ming used the Wind Lightning Steps, he moved like the wind.
He dodged left and right in the crowd. His speed and reflexes were extremely fast.
Only a few of those magical techniques managed to hit Li Ming, but they did not have much effect in the end.
After practicing Iron Skin, the surface of Li Ming’s body could resist most magical techniques at the qi refinement stage.
Moreover, his physique had been tempered by the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art. Naturally, these ordinary qi refinement disciples could not compare to him.
“I can’t hit him at all?”
“Why is his movement technique so powerful?”
“I hit him! But why was he completely fine afterward? Did I miss?”
The disciples who had just joined the battle felt even more sullen.
With so many people ganging up on him, not only did they fail to take him down, but they were also only able to watch as he continued to get away.
At this moment, Chen Qingke, who was in a stalemate with the daoist-robed senior brother and the black-shirted senior brother, had some spare time and energy to look behind her.
When she looked behind her, she saw Li Ming drawing the other disciples back and forth with his movement technique, leaving a large space for her.
And it seemed that Li Ming did not need her to worry about him at all.
Even if those disciples surrounded him, it seemed as if they could not damage a single hair on Li Ming’s head.
Seeing this, Chen Qingke was relieved.
She realized that she had no need to hold back anymore!
She retracted her consciousness and condensed her qi again.
At this moment, she was going all out.
Using her qi to control the cauldron, the small bronze cauldron began to spin it in the air!
She chanted, “primordial true qi, mother of nature.” The small cauldron seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow mist, and it trembled with power.
“Go!”
Chen Qingke pointed with her finger and the small cauldron turned into a stream of light and shot toward the black-shirted senior brother.
The layers of golden light that were wrapped around the small bronze cauldron shattered upon contact.
The black-shirted senior brother’s mind trembled as he quickly retreated.
The heavy cauldron still landed in front of him. Before it even touched him, he was sent flying out of the valley.
The rest did not feel good either. They were all swept away by this attack and only felt the sound of a yellow bell ringing and reverberating in their minds.
Even the disciples who were surrounding Li Ming at the back were affected by the aftermath.
The exit that the black-robed senior brother was guarding suddenly opened up.
Chen Qingke’s all-out attack shocked everyone present.
Previously, it was already the limit of their imagination to see her fight on equal grounds with two perfect qi refinement cultivators.
They did not expect her to have been holding back.
With just the power of this attack, she had seriously injured a perfected qi refinement disciple. The rest of the people present had trouble withstanding her attack as well.
The black-shirted senior brother was even more dumbfounded. They were both at the peak of the qi refinement stage, but why was there such a huge gap between them?
While everyone was still in shock, Chen Qingke and Li Ming seemed to have a telepathic connection and escaped toward the gap without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, the two of them flew out of the valley and broke away from the encirclement.
Some disciples tried to chase after them, but they stopped embarrassedly when they saw that their senior brothers, who were at the peak of the qi refinement stage, were not moving.
Soon, Li Ming and Chen Qingke were far away.
Everyone was left looking at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.
There were so many people and geniuses among them, but even then, they were not able to keep Li Ming and Chen Qingke from escapting.
The combat power displayed by Li Ming and Chen Qingke had exceeded their imagination.
The former could not be taken down after a long time, and his movement technique was ghostly.
The latter was able to fight against two perfected qi refinement cultivators and even come out victorious.
The key was that the two of them were in the same team, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.
Just as they were feeling complex feelings, everyone got a notification that the tracking spell had lost its effect.
This meant that the forbidden land was about to close. Along with the opening of the entrance of the secret realm, they had to immediately return.
The trial was finally over.
