Chapter 48 Kill them all
Chapter 48 Kill them all
Without wasting words, Zhou Qiuyuan drew his Thunder Listening Sword without hesitation.
Thunder spirit tools are extremely rare, and the scabbard of the Thunder Listening Sword was very ordinary. Jiang Yuefeng and his son thought that there was just an ordinary iron weapon in the scabbard and did not pay any attention to it.
Upon seeing the lightning patterns on the spine of the unsheathed Thunder Listening Sword, Jiang Yuefeng and his son realized the situation was dire and their expressions changed drastically as they exclaimed, "A lightning-infused artifact!"
Zhou Qiuyuan comes from a poor family, how could he possibly have obtained a Thunder Spirit Tool?
Isn't the royal family monopolizing Thunder Spirit Tools?
The two men's expressions changed drastically. Without hesitation, they withdrew and retreated, placing their hands on the hilts of their swords, their noses glowing red.
Unfortunately, a delay in the battle leads to a permanent setback.
Zhou Qiuyuan decisively activated the accumulated Yang Thunder Qi and unleashed his most proficient secret technique: Tiger Roar Thunder Sound - Thunder Tiger Sound.
The air vibrated, and a faint, ethereal shadow appeared, vaguely resembling a pale purple thunder tiger roaring towards the sky.
Thunderclap Transformation!
This is clearly a sign that Lei Hu Yin has reached the perfect level: Lei Yin manifests as Lei Hu.
Zhou Qiuyuan had been cultivating for many days but had not yet reached the perfect realm. Faced with the bullying landlord who had come to his door, his surging killing intent found an outlet at this moment, and he actually unleashed the perfect realm of Thunder Tiger Sound.
The phantom of Lei Hu crashed into Jiang Yuefeng at supersonic speed. Jiang Yuefeng's movement of drawing his sword and gathering his energy froze. Blood slowly flowed from his ears like small snakes, and he clutched his head, letting out a mournful howl.
The force of his roar nearly shattered his eardrums, leaving him almost deaf.
Zhou Qiuyuan, carrying the Thunder Listening Sword, took three steps at a time and closed in.
With each breath, the newly absorbed thunderous spiritual energy was poured into the Thunder Listening Sword.
The lightning patterns on the sword's spine seemed to come alive, and with a thunderous roar, a purple streak suddenly slashed towards Jiang Yuefeng's neck.
The Thunderclap Sword's blade was like a hot knife cutting through butter; even well-fortified skin, flesh, and bones could not withstand it. Accompanied by a burnt smell, a fine head was thrown out.
Jiang Yuefeng's head rolled to the ground, his bloodshot eyes wide open.
Don't rest your eyes!
Jiang Yuefeng has reached the Inner Refinement level, and his flesh and blood have reached the Ninth Refinement. After his skin is infused with spiritual power, he also has a certain degree of defense against spiritual tools, so he will not be killed by someone of a higher level.
However, he underestimated Zhou Qiuyuan's strength and died in a daze before he could activate his spiritual tool.
Not activating a spiritual tool is equivalent to not having one. Zhou Qiuyuan easily killed an inner cultivation expert who 'did not' possess a spiritual tool.
While a body cultivator's cultivation level is important, spiritual tools are the true core.
"father!"
Jiang Yuanxun activated his spiritual weapon, the Crimson Flame Blade, and red light emanated from his ears. He deliberately used a portion of his spiritual power to guard the area and prevent Zhou Qiuyuan from repeating his old tricks.
Even his father, who was at the Inner Refinement Realm, couldn't withstand the Thunder Sound Secret Technique, so he dared not try it himself.
"I'm going to kill you!" Jiang Yuanxun roared, his blade crackling with crimson flames, transforming into a pillar of fire that slashed horizontally.
Zhou Qiuyuan struck successfully and retreated into the inner courtyard without hesitation. A faint purple aura continuously flowed into his nostrils to replenish his consumed lightning spiritual power.
Jiang Yuanxun slashed at empty space and quickly pursued Zhou Qiuyuan. His speed far surpassed Zhou Qiuyuan's. When the distance between the two closed to three feet, a crimson rainbow descended from above.
Secret Technique: Crimson Fire Scorch!
In his haste, Zhou Qiuyuan had no choice but to raise his Thunder Listening Sword to parry.
clang!
Zhou Qiuyuan was struck by the immense force and staggered backward. His right palm bone twisted and deformed, and the Thunder Listening Sword in his hand almost slipped out of his grasp.
The flames engulfing the blade made his hair curl, and the flames licked his noodles and exposed skin, causing a burning pain in his dry, cracked skin, as if fire poison was seeping into it. He couldn't help but want to scratch.
Zhou Qiuyuan failed to forge the Thunder Bone and was powerless to confront this person head-on.
He struggled to control his breathing, retreating while absorbing more lightning energy, and took the Thunder Listening Sword from his unconscious right hand with his left.
"You only dare to run away? Coward! If you have the guts, fight me to the death!" Jiang Yuanxun roared hysterically and slashed down with his sword again.
Secret Technique: Wildfire Spreads!
Zhou Qiuyuan barely dodged the blow, but unexpectedly, a wave of fire covering a range of ten feet suddenly erupted from the fire blade, quickly engulfing him.
His clothes, hair, and skin were all ablaze with flames, and an even more intense pain than before struck him, as if he were about to be completely reduced to ashes by the flames.
"Son! I'll fight you to the death!"
When Zhou Chengwu and Shen Wan saw Zhou Qiuyuan engulfed in flames, they frantically grabbed whatever was at hand and rushed forward to fight Jiang Yuanxun, hoping to save their son.
Zhou Qiuyuan gathered enough Yang Thunder energy and finally condensed it into a lightning net at the crucial moment, transforming into a purple robe of lightning.
Wherever the purple lightning passed, it collided head-on with the crimson flames, quickly annihilating them.
The lightning bolts circulated around his body, extinguishing all the flames clinging to his skin.
"Since you killed my father, then I will slaughter your whole family!" Jiang Yuanxun originally planned to take the opportunity to kill Zhou Qiuyuan and then deal with his parents. The two old bastards asked for death, so he didn't mind sending them on their way with a single blow.
Without hesitation, Zhou Qiuyuan stepped forward and used his body to block Jiang Yuanxun's Crimson Flame Blade.
This was a bold attempt, and he wasn't entirely confident.
Zhou Qiuyuan succeeded and learned the defensive strength of Lei Gang Ziyi.
In the current situation, the chances of winning are slim. If we fail, we can always start over.
The crimson sword slashed at the purple lightning, the two colliding with a tooth-grinding sound. The purple lightning shattered little by little, but ultimately it still blocked the slash.
The Thunderous Purple Robe, after being improved by the Thunder Network, possesses truly astonishing defensive capabilities.
"How is this possible..."
Zhou Qiuyuan decisively swung the Thunder Listening Sword in his left hand and slashed forward.
Jiang Yuanxun was in a state where his old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. The sword he hastily raised only blocked half of the wound, leaving a gash on his neck from which blood flowed incessantly.
"I'm not... willing to accept this!"
Zhou Qiuyuan's Body Tempering Realm was far inferior to that of Jiang Yuefeng and his son. If the two sides were to fight each other fairly, either of them would have the strength to kill him, let alone the two of them working together.
A single wrong decision led to this tragic end.
Jiang Yuanxun, leaning on his sword, still wanted to fight, but the strength in his body slowly drained away along with the blood. He could only watch helplessly as Zhou Qiuyuan circled around him while he tried to recover by breathing exercises.
He turned his head to guard against the man's sneak attack from behind, which aggravated the injury to his neck.
Roar!
The thunderous roar of the tiger struck again, and Jiang Yuanxun felt as if the endless tiger's roar echoed in his ears, as if it were the only sound in the world.
Click!
Jiang Yuanxun felt a chill on his neck, and the world fell silent.
Zhou Qiuyuan stared at the head that had rolled to the ground and took a deep breath.
At this moment, the lost sense of pain seemed to be reawakened, and pain was felt all over the body.
Zhou Qiuyuan's hair was gone, leaving him bald with red spots. His clothes were burned to ashes, and his entire body was covered in scorch marks left by the flames.
This battle was too brutal...
However, I'm the winner!
