Chapter 217 Beat Lao Cao

Li Qingxu’s scalp tingled. That was his master, Cao Qianqiu, who had reigned supreme for a lifetime. How dare someone be so disrespectful and challenge his authority?

For a moment, he wanted to rush forward, uphold the honor of his sect, and not allow anyone to offend it.

However, reality was cruel; he was no match for his opponent. Even his master’s simulated Heavenly Light Force attack couldn’t stop the opponent’s fierce hammer technique.

He was forced to remain calm and stand still.

Cao Qianqiu said coldly, “No one has dared to challenge me for many years. It’s good to be young. You’re always so energetic and fearless, but you can also die very quickly.”

If Qin Ming were at a disadvantage, he would indeed be disturbed by him. However, he has now smashed Old Cao’s hammer and is in a dominant position, with a smile on his face.

He said, “I understand now. Your lineage is very good at spouting empty words and putting on airs!” For so many years, Cao Qianqiu has been arrogant, domineering, and flamboyant, living a life of unbridled behavior. He has the right to do so, and most of the things he says can be fulfilled, while his disciples can only be considered as empty talkers.

In the distance, Li Qingxu’s face turned pale and then red. He was powerless to refute the argument with his own actions, so in the end, his master had to step in.

The broken hammer handle in Cao Qianqiu’s hand suddenly exploded with a loud bang, the runes expanded outward, reforming into a large hammer, swirling with the pure Yang attribute “Heavenly Light Force”, looking extremely intimidating.

His dominance had become an instinct. Over the years, he had dominated the world, always crushing all his opponents. He had never known what defeat was, so he was ready to fight again with his hammer.

He did this because he wanted to suppress his opponent in the area where they excelled.

Qin Ming said nothing, gripped the Dragon-Snake Hammer and walked forward. The best way to deal with the old madman was to smash him to pieces in actual combat.

Cao Qianqiu’s spirit body looked light and airy, but once he started moving, his strength was unparalleled. He gently shook the hammer, and the air exploded.

In an instant, he appeared to float through the air, as if carrying a mountain. The hammer shook slightly and emitted a terrifying explosion.

At this moment, Qin Ming “respected” this senior and had to use all his strength to beat him. His entire body was filled with the Heavenly Light Force, which burst through his body as if he were burning, and the light shone brightly.

He leaped over twenty meters in a single bound, arriving in an instant, and swung his hammer to smash, meeting Old Cao in mid-air like a shooting star.

“clang!”

A deafening sound erupted in the area; not to mention the force of the impact, the sheer volume of air it generated shattered the remaining trees nearby.

“Senior, I respect you very much. Please take a hundred blows from me first!” Qin Ming said.

In an instant, the two exchanged fierce blows, neither retreating.

In an instant, it was as if two massive mountains were colliding in this area; the earth shook, the sky shone with intense energy, and countless bolts of lightning seemed to be unleashed. In a flash, the two exchanged more than a dozen blows.

As Qin Ming landed from mid-air, Cao Qianqiu immediately swooped down and followed up with a barrage of attacks.

As you can see, the ground is cracking open, with huge fissures half a foot wide spreading in all directions.

The two fought with lightning speed, moving like lightning. Most importantly, their strength was incredibly fierce, and their destructive power was astonishing. Wherever they passed, boulders shattered and the remaining forests turned to dust.

The two fought until the hillside was completely destroyed, the ground was like a spider web, and any obstacle that encountered them would be destroyed.

“Senior, you’re quite strong! That’s exhilarating! Don’t stop! That’s only forty-odd blows. Let’s go again!” Qin Ming, wielding the Dragon-Snake Hammer, unleashed his Heavenly Light Energy, leaping into the air and slamming it down on his opponent.

Cao Qianqiu’s face trembled slightly as his hammer shattered once again.

“Weren’t we supposed to clash in my area of ​​expertise? Please, don’t waste time!” Qin Ming shouted, raising his hammer after landing on the ground.

Cao Qianqiu swooped down, landing on the ground this time. He reshaped his hammer with runes and clashed fiercely with his opponent. However, this time the fight was shorter, lasting only a dozen or so blows before his weapon shattered completely.

“What happened? A great battle has broken out again! Is that Li Qingxu’s pure Yang consciousness aura? Why is it so powerful!” In the secret realm, on various peaks, many people were shocked.

On the Immortal Path and the Divine Path, apart from Li Qingyue, the seeds on Cui Chonghe, Su Shiyun, and other paths all showed solemn expressions, already suspecting that the light was Cao Qianqiu.

“Don’t go, come again!” Qin Ming shouted, chasing after them with his sledgehammer.

Cao Qianqiu’s silver hair flew wildly, his old face was extremely indifferent. After so many years, his dominance had been reversed by a young man who used the Heavenly Light Force!

Over the years, he has had some ideas, thinking that when he makes another breakthrough, he should capture the founder of the new path and become his warrior.

But now, in a fierce battle against a newcomer at the same level, he was actually struggling to keep up, which made his face twitch.

Cao Qianqiu’s silver hair flew wildly, and lightning, wind, fire, and earth energy appeared on the hammer in his hand. His aura surged, and the whole area seemed to resonate with him.

Around it, the wind and clouds churned, a light rain fell, and lightning flashed.

Qin Ming sighed inwardly. This was the Overlord’s secret technique, which Old Cao had studied, and now he was actually using it. He didn’t know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the Overlord.

At this moment, there’s nothing more to say; he’s going to punch Cao Qianqiu hard!

Qin Ming went berserk, and although he was circulating the “Dragon and Snake Scripture,” he was also using the silk calligraphy to drive the fusion of many Heavenly Light Forces, causing them to erupt in full force.

After several collisions, Old Cao’s hammer shattered for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Moreover, this time he didn’t dodge and took a blow from Qin Ming’s hammer. His pure Yang consciousness trembled violently, his entire body twisted and blurred, and he was sent flying.

Normally, if he were made of flesh and blood, his injuries would be much more severe.

Qin Ming swept across the sky like lightning, pursuing him. His Dragon-Snake Force surged forth, allowing him to briefly fly, like a dragon soaring through the heavens. Bang! Bang! Bang!

In that instant, he swung the sledgehammer repeatedly, smashing Cao Qianqiu.

For a moment, Old Cao was in a terrible state. Even the handle of his hammer had been blown away. No matter how strong and domineering he was, he had to admit defeat. He could only use the “Heavenly Light Force” and was no match for this young man.

“Don’t back down! We haven’t reached a hundred blows yet! Come on!” Qin Ming got carried away and used his sticky strength to grab the large sleeve that was formed from the pure Yang spiritual light of the other man, pulling it toward him.

At the same time, he swung his dragon-snake hammer forward with all his might.

Li Qingxu was shocked. He saw his master take four blows in a row, and his whole body was sent flying, his body turning dark.

At the last moment, Cao Qianqiu severed his sleeve and abandoned a segment of pure Yang consciousness. Even so, his arm was still smashed to pieces.

At the same time, the youth delivered a follow-up blow with lightning speed, blasting him dozens of meters away, his entire body cracking apart. Fortunately, this was his pure Yang consciousness aura, capable of reassembling after shattering.

His face was gloomy. He had never suffered such a defeat when he was young. He had always swept aside his opponents. How could he be beaten so badly by the young man in front of him when he was old and fighting on the same level?

His combat experience, knowledge, understanding of various scriptures, and the pure Yang attribute of his consciousness should have made him invincible from the start.

However, reality is just that absurd. The young man in front of them overpowered all other techniques with sheer force. His Heavenly Light Force was too domineering. In this first realm, it was very likely that he had surpassed the Three Imperial Forces.

Qin Ming shouted, “Senior, you have to keep your word. You have to crush me in my area of ​​expertise. Come on, we’re just a dozen more hits away from reaching the hundred mark.”

Cao Qianqiu’s face was extremely cold as he said, “In this field, you have won.”

Li Qingxu felt as if the sky had fallen. His master, who had been invincible all his life and whose enemies all bowed down, had actually been beaten up by a young boy here today.

The key point is that this young demon was an adversary he had provoked!

“Master!” At this moment, Li Qingxu felt like a sinner, having humiliated his master and caused him such a terrible loss. “What happened? The battle just now was intense; I can hardly believe that was Li Qingxu!”

Many people on each mountain peak were filled with doubt, yet also deeply moved.

Li Qingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn’t help but smile. Cao Qianqiu had actually been beaten.

After Cui Chonghe, Cai Jingcheng, Su Shiyun, and the others guessed that it was Lao Cao, their expressions became extremely serious upon seeing the results of this first battle.

“Then use your immortal cultivation methods!” Qin Ming said directly.

Li Qingxu clenched his fist. The young demon was surprisingly aggressive towards his master.

Cao Qianqiu said calmly, “Heh, in certain eras, some later generations have tried to make a name for themselves through me, Cao Qianqiu, but in the end, they were all reduced to ashes by me.”

Then, the runes in front of him formed a treasure mirror, and in an instant, pure yang energy surged.

Just then, Cao Qianqiu’s expression changed slightly. His body began to descend, landing on the ground, unable to float in mid-air any longer. He stared into the void and said coldly, “You dare interfere in my affairs?”

Clearly, if he had a physical body, he wouldn’t be able to fly into the air at all in the first realm; he’s currently restricted by the Heavenly Demon Mirror. Qin Ming smiled, and then directly charged forward.

Cao Qianqiu remained indifferent as a blinding beam of light erupted from a mirror formed from runes in his hand, illuminating Qin Ming. This was the Body Reflection Mirror, its surface covered with thousands upon thousands of runes, wielding pure Yang as its blade, specifically designed to kill the physical bodies of demons and newborns.

Qin Ming’s left hand flowed with heavenly light, and he followed suit, using the heavenly light to create a mirror, which he also incorporated into his divine wisdom and spiritual light for defense.

This mirror, like a blazing golden sun, was extremely dazzling. It immediately blocked the opponent’s pure yang light, turning the sharp blade into flames that burned here.

“Hmm?!” Cao Qianqiu frowned deeply. He had forgotten that he was currently in the first realm, and it was indeed difficult to penetrate this kind of heavenly light that surpassed the Three Imperial Forces.

Qin Ming held the Blazing Sun Mirror in his left hand and a large hammer in his right, stomped on the ground, and rushed forward at lightning speed.

The mirror in Cao Qianqiu’s hand emitted a terrifying beam of light, its pure Yang attribute incredibly intimidating; anyone else would have been pierced through by the beam.

However, Qin Ming either used the mirror as a shield to block it or directly smashed it with a sledgehammer.

He charged forward, and in a series of exchanges, he shattered the mirror and once again wielded the Dragon-Snake Hammer to strike Old Cao.

Cao Qianqiu was furious. He had never been so humiliated before. Runes bloomed all over his body, and he moved at lightning speed like a pure yang phoenix to fight Qin Ming.

However, the strong wind blew, and the boy swung his sledgehammer, managing to overwhelm him.

The young man in the first realm was incredibly brave; wherever the hammer struck, even the pure Yang consciousness within him trembled and cracked several times. Boom!

Cao Qianqiu was sent flying, and the boy chased after him, smashing down with his hammer again and again.

Li Qingxu’s eyes were bloodshot. That was his invincible master, yet he had been beaten multiple times today, and now he had been blasted into the chest and sent flying dozens of meters away.

Cao Qianqiu’s face was as cold as frost. His body had been broken before. He realized that if he had a physical body but did not possess pure Yang consciousness, he would be in grave danger!

His gaze was icy; he believed this boy could not be allowed to live!

With a thud, his head was struck by a heavy hammer and quickly split open.

(There’s more to come!)
