Chapter 445: Chapter 172 Li Hanshan, Let’s Have a Contest (6k)
Zhou Qing didn’t answer Sikong Yan’s question, instead, he was quickly formulating a plan in his mind.
If the situation becomes critical, break the jade token to unleash the full power strike of the Spirit Severing Realm. Even if the opponent doesn’t die, they will be critically injured.
At that time, use the Golden Roc True Body to escape with Third Senior Brother and Lu at the fastest speed.
The probability of success is small, but it is the only way. Who would have thought that in such a remote place, the Palace Master of the Cangyan Daoist Palace would appear here.
They had killed the four prodigies painstakingly nurtured by the opposition, and had even dug up their ancestral graves three times; the consequences were unimaginable.
Looking at the three cautious people, Sikong Yan appeared calm and slowly spoke, "That old guy Master Xuanji divined that Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi will face a calamity in the next few years. If they overcome it, their future in the Divinity Transformation would be promising. If not, they might perish."
"I didn’t believe it before, but now the situation is obvious, so I started to believe his other prophecy."
At this point, Sikong Yan took a deep breath.
"That old guy is always mysterious. Sometimes he suddenly says something, and you have to believe it. Can you guess what his other prophecy was?"
Sikong Yan’s tone was calm, as if chatting with younger people, but his demeanor made Zhou Qing and the others feel a chill down their spines, with a sudden surge of inexplicable fear.
They knew that the chaos in the Eastern Domain was caused by the person before them.
Seeing the three of them tense, Sikong Yan smiled and continued, "He told me not to act lightly in the next few years, or my life could be at risk. He specifically reminded me several times. You see, his words have always left me uncertain."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing took a step forward, forcing a smile on his face, "Senior, maybe he was deceiving you. You could try attacking us and see if it’s truly as he said. Honestly, I’m a bit curious too."
Looking at Zhou Qing, who didn’t seem to be joking, Sikong Yan shook his head, with a hint of a mocking smile on his face.
"You don’t flinch, kid, you’re impressive. You seem to have a way to deal with me. Just for this alone, I suddenly have a bit of respect for that old guy."
"Of course, it could also be that your behavior is meant to make me think what I think, a bluff."
"However, you killed my sect’s four prodigies, this can’t be overlooked. And you, who dug up ancestral graves, that’s quite despicable. If I don’t do something, it won’t sit well, will it?"
As Sikong Yan spoke, he glanced at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, with an assessing gaze in his eyes.
Yan Xiaohu opened his mouth but didn’t dare to argue further.
Sikong Yan then looked at Li Hanshan and said leisurely, "So far, no one in the Divinity Transformation Realm has intervened. As the head of the palace, it wouldn’t be right for me to break this rule first. Besides, if a senior takes action against juniors, it wouldn’t sound good and would seem like bullying."
After saying this, Sikong Yan’s figure flashed and suddenly appeared on the city wall.
Feng Cheng and Hu Xuantang shivered instantly.
Sikong Yan looked down at everyone and said, "I came a bit late and didn’t see how Yu Ziqi died. If you two have time, maybe you could tell me in detail."
Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable sense of pressure.
......
With the Palace Master present, Li Hanshan’s confidence grew. He pointed his black halberd at Zhou Qing and said, "Out of respect for you, I will ensure you die swiftly."
Zhou Qing glanced at Sikong Yan on the city wall with a solemn expression and quietly communicated to the other two, "Leave it to me, but don’t stay too far in case he uses you against me."
Lu Yaoyao was anxious, but Yan Xiaohu nodded, reminding Zhou Qing to be careful, knowing they would only be a burden to him now.
Seeing Third Senior Brother and Lu Yaoyao retreating, Zhou Qing’s pupils turned golden. Just as he was about to activate the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture" and transform into the Golden Roc True Body to fight Li Hanshan to the death, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in the air.
"Li Hanshan! Have you trained all these years just to show off your dog-like behavior? Bullying my junior brother, why don’t you come fight me if you have the guts!"
As the voice fell, the skies darkened with rolling clouds and lightning.
A shadow emerged as if stepping out of the Nine Netherworld Hell, bringing immense pressure and killing intent, suddenly appearing between Zhou Qing and Li Hanshan. The imposing presence made everyone instinctively feel fear.
Seeing the man before him with his long hair dancing wildly and his eagle-like sharp eyes, Li Hanshan’s face changed slightly, feeling a strong sense of crisis.
He immediately moved back a few steps, widening the distance between them.
"B-Big Senior Brother?" Zhou Qing couldn’t believe his eyes.
Ghost Mastiff held a black spear, slowly turning his head. The domineering and wild look in his eyes softened the moment he saw Zhou Qing.
He smiled gently and said warmly, "Fourth Brother, don’t worry, Big Senior Brother is here!"
Zhou Qing still felt a bit dazed and confused. Didn’t Master say that you went to the Holy Martial Dynasty?
