Two First Disciples of the Dao Sect, Swords Falling Like a River of Stars, Qingping Slays the Hou!

Lin Zhu's judgment had not been wrong!

It was precisely because he and Xuan Du had continuously slain Fierce Beasts and incurred countless karmic sins that this Fierce Beast had been drawn forth!

In fact, according to the timeline, this Fierce Beast should not have emerged yet.

This was none other than the Ancient Ferocious Beast Golden Haired Hou.

During the Fierce Beast Calamity, the Golden Haired Hou had already reached the Daluo realm, enough to rival the Four Great Ferocious Beasts.

However, during the great battle, the Golden Haired Hou had been severely wounded. Even its primordial spirit had shattered, leaving behind only a remnant consciousness as it fled back to the Ferocious Beast Nest.

Because its primordial spirit was incomplete, the Golden Haired Hou could not cultivate, and its realm had fallen to that of a Golden Immortal.

Yet although its realm was that of a Golden Immortal, the Golden Haired Hou's physical body had been tempered for countless years at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm and was exceptionally powerful.

Seeing that Lin Zhu intended to fight, Xuan Du secretly remained on guard. He raised the Taiji Diagram, and a Taiji pattern shielded the two of them.

At the same time, Lin Zhu also raised the Violet Lightning Hammer.

Although he had obtained treasures such as the Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls during this journey,

he had yet to fully refine them or break all their Restrictions.

Even if he brought them out, their power would not be great.

Thus, the only things he could use against an enemy were the Qingping Sword and the Violet Lightning Hammer.

Lin Zhu's earlier slaughter had greatly boosted Xuan Du's confidence.

Seeing that Lin Zhu intended to fight, Xuan Du assumed he had great confidence in victory. Naturally, he would give it his all as well.

"Roar!"

At that moment, seeing Lin Zhu's stance, the Golden Haired Hou suddenly let out an enraged roar. It opened its mouth and shot out a beam of radiance toward Lin Zhu and Xuan Du.

When the radiance struck the Taiji Diagram, it hummed loudly, blocking all of the Fierce Beast's radiance outside.

Seeing that the Golden Haired Hou's attack could not break through the Taiji Diagram's defenses, Lin Zhu was overjoyed.

The Taiji Diagram truly deserved to be called a Primordial Treasure. Even though the other party had once stood at the Daluo realm, breaking its defenses would not be easy.

He immediately raised the Violet Lightning Hammer and launched an attack on the Golden Haired Hou.

The Violet Lightning Hammer flew into the sky, and bolts of Violet Palace Divine Lightning descended from above, smashing fiercely toward the Golden Roar.

Seeing this, the Golden Haired Hou grew even more enraged. With a furious roar, it spat out streams of radiant light that forcibly crushed the violet divine lightning summoned by the Violet Lightning Hammer!

The streams of golden radiance struck the ground viciously, reducing everything within hundreds of miles to ruins.

At that moment, the Golden Haired Hou seemed to have had its ferocity fully stirred. With a roar, its massive body lunged straight toward the two of them.

Boom!

Like a fool attempting to shake the Pillar of Heaven, the Golden Haired Hou charged directly at them and collided with the Taiji Diagram!

Fortunately, even though the Golden Haired Hou's physical body was at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, it still could not directly break through the Taiji Diagram's defenses.

Lin Zhu settled his nerves slightly, driving the Violet Lightning Hammer to attack the Golden Haired Hou while simultaneously swinging the Qingping Sword down in a fierce slash!

The Qingping Sword immediately unleashed streams of radiance, as though they would annihilate the void itself, dazzling to the extreme!

Yet the Golden Haired Hou sensed danger and directly evaded the sword lights one after another!

Even so, several sword lights still fell, cutting bloody blossoms across the Golden Haired Hou's body!

But the Fierce Beast's recovery ability was astonishing. The wounds Lin Zhu had cut open healed in the blink of an eye.

This is a little troublesome... This Fierce Beast is thick-skinned and tough. Unless I can fully unleash the Qingping Sword's power, it will be difficult to kill!

Lin Zhu frowned inwardly. Fortunately, Xuan Du's Taiji Diagram protected them. Otherwise, he would not even consider it; he would have taken Xuan Du and fled immediately.

The Golden Immortal realm... As expected, fighting across realms was not easy!

But!

Lin Zhu's fighting spirit was instead roused even further, and he vaguely gained some insight!

"Perfect!"

"I'll use you to sharpen my skills!"

A glint flashed through Lin Zhu's eyes. Gripping the Qingping Sword, he charged forward once more!

Roar!!

The Golden Haired Hou howled and engaged him in battle!

After that, Lin Zhu and Xuan Du continued fighting the Golden Haired Hou within the Ferocious Beast Nest for several full years.

The entire nest was nearly razed to the ground!

As the battle continued without end, Lin Zhu's understanding of the sword grew deeper and deeper.

At the same time, his control over the Qingping Sword became increasingly fluid.

The Qingping Sword's power was gradually drawn out as well.

Moreover, Lin Zhu's experience in battle soared by leaps and bounds.

Gradually, he put away the Violet Lightning Hammer and fought the enemy with the Qingping Sword alone.

Several more years passed in battle.

Lin Zhu's comprehension of the sword had become even more refined.

Suddenly, an immense stream of information appeared within Lin Zhu's mind.

Your understanding of the sword has deepened further. Taking the Qingping Sword as your foundation, you have comprehended Qingping Sword Intent.

After absorbing this information, Lin Zhu was overjoyed!

Tongtian Sect Leader's understanding of the sword was extremely profound, and Qingping Sword Intent was precisely what Tongtian Sect Leader had comprehended with the Qingping Sword as its foundation.

It was only because Lin Zhu's cultivation was insufficient that Tongtian Sect Leader had not passed it down to him, teaching him only some of the mysteries of the sword.

Yet through his day-and-night slaughter with the Golden Haired Hou, Lin Zhu had comprehended it himself through his heaven-defying insight.

Lin Zhu paused briefly and absorbed the information in one gulp. Then, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Qingping Sword Intent he had newly comprehended.

Overwhelming Sword Intent soared into the sky, sweeping in all directions and nearly covering the entire Ferocious Beast Nest.

"Slash!"

Lin Zhu suddenly opened his eyes and slashed out with the Qingping Sword in his hand.

At once, countless Green Lotuses bloomed, dazzling beyond compare!

A sword light descended from the heavens, slashing toward the Golden Haired Hou!

The Golden Haired Hou showed no fear. It spat out radiance to meet the sword light head-on.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Lin Zhu's sword light instantly bypassed the Golden Haired Hou's defenses and slashed heavily into its body.

With Qingping Sword Intent, flowers bloomed with every step!

In an instant, the Golden Haired Hou was severed at the waist!

Immense Sword Intent poured into the Golden Haired Hou's body, instantly tearing its physical form to pieces!

The Golden Haired Hou's incomplete primordial spirit was also cut into several fragments by Lin Zhu's Sword Intent. They fled into the distance and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Even that couldn't make it vanish completely... It's truly tenacious!

Lin Zhu watched the Golden Haired Hou's fleeing primordial spirit, his brow furrowing slightly.

If one did not pull out the roots, it would grow again when the spring wind blew.

With the Golden Haired Hou's primordial spirit having escaped, who knew whether it would bring trouble in the future...

"We've finally slain this Fierce Beast."

Seeing this, Xuan Du could not help but sigh repeatedly.

He had maintained the Taiji Diagram for more than ten years. If not for the pills bestowed by Taishang Laojun, his mana would likely have run dry long ago.

This battle had been exceedingly difficult.

"Senior Brother, your final strike was incredibly powerful. Did Martial Uncle Tongtian pass it down to you?"

"If you had used it earlier, you would have slain the Fierce Beast long ago." Recalling that strike, Xuan Du could not help saying.

Lin Zhu shook his head. "It was not that I was unwilling to use it. I merely comprehended this Sword Intent myself during my battle with the Fierce Beast."

"This can be considered a fortuitous opportunity."

What?

Hearing this, Xuan Du opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

He had comprehended Sword Intent himself!?

This... Lin Zhu's insight was actually this terrifying!

"As expected, anyone who can be accepted as Martial Uncle Tongtian's disciple is indeed extraordinary!"

I'm still far too lacking! Xuan Du thought to himself.

Lin Zhu paid Xuan Du no further attention and instead said, "Now that this Ferocious Beast Nest has been reduced to ruins, even if there were treasures inside, I fear it will be difficult for us to find them."

"Let's go. We'll search around, then return to Kunlun."

Thus, Lin Zhu and Xuan Du searched through the Ferocious Beast Nest. As expected, they found nothing.

Only then did the two leave, heading in the direction of Kunlun.

Several years later, Lin Zhu and Xuan Du finally returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Arriving at the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the three Daoist grounds were already close at hand.

"Eh!"

Lin Zhu and Xuan Du descended from the clouds and were just about to enter the mountain.

Suddenly, a tall, lean young Daoist with delicate features strode through the air toward them!

Before the two could react, a thunderous shout exploded through the air!

"How dare you!"

"You dare trespass into my Kunlun Mountain!"

"Do you not know this is the dwelling place of a Saint!?"
