Seven Kill Sword Formation? Foundation Establishment? One Punch Breaks It!

Seeing this, Cui Hao's pupils constricted sharply, and his expression changed in an instant.

"How is this possible?"

"He is also at the Qi Refining level, so how could he take down Kong Ning with a single punch?"

Cui Hao muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock.

One had to know that even if he were to make a move himself, it would be impossible to defeat Kong Ning so easily.

After all, Kong Ning possessed the cultivation of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Yet, Chen Changqing had suppressed him with just one punch!

"This kid is strange!"

After a brief moment of thought, Cui Hao immediately reached this conclusion.

He felt that Chen Changqing's strength was likely far beyond a simple Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

At the same time, Liu Ruyan was shaken to her core upon witnessing this scene.

"This?"

"Kong Ning of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer couldn't withstand a single punch from him?"

"Just how strong is Junior Brother Chen?"

Liu Ruyan whispered, feeling increasingly unable to see through Chen Changqing.

By now, Kong Ning had already crashed onto the ground not far away, fainting on the spot without even letting out a scream.

Chen Changqing's expression remained indifferent as his gaze shifted to Cui Hao.

"The person you sent out is neither impressive nor useful."

"How about... you try making a move yourself?"

As he spoke, Chen Changqing beckoned to Cui Hao with his finger.

Seeing this, Cui Hao's face turned extremely gloomy; he gritted his teeth, looking as if he wished he could swallow Chen Changqing whole.

"Form the formation!"

"Follow me and teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

The next moment, Cui Hao roared.

He did not choose to fight Chen Changqing alone, but instead called upon the other disciples to form a formation to deal with him.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hearing Cui Hao's command, the remaining disciples of the Second Courtyard drew their long swords in succession.

"Swish! Swish!"

In just a few breaths, the sword formation led by Cui Hao was complete.

Looking on, one could see Sword Qi weaving into a net.

Chen Changqing stood where he was, his expression unchanged, and said calmly:

"Too afraid to fight me one-on-one?"

"Senior Brother, your Foundation Establishment cultivation has truly gone to waste!"

Hearing this, Cui Hao turned red with rage. He didn't reply, only coldly shouting:

"Rise!"

Following that, the sword formation, under Cui Hao's control, pressed down directly toward Chen Changqing.

"Swish! Swish!"

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, the sword light poured down like a waterfall, filled with chilling killing intent!

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan's face turned pale, and her heart began to race.

"The Seven Kill Sword Formation?"

"Cui Hao actually intends to kill him?"

Liu Ruyan was terrified, naturally recognizing that the power of the sword formation unleashed by Cui Hao and the others was extraordinary; anyone at the Qi Refining level would likely find it impossible to survive under it!

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, yet she was completely helpless.

Chen Changqing stood his ground, his expression remaining indifferent.

Facing the overwhelming Sword Qi, he did not show the slightest sign of being moved.

Watching the sword formation descend upon him, Chen Changqing struck back with a single Thunder Fist.

"Boom!"

As the punch was thrown, lightning surged!

Immediately, a visible fist aura tore through the sky.

Wherever he passed, the Sword Qi shattered and the formation patterns disintegrated!

"This?"

"How is this possible?"

Cui Hao's pupils dilated in shock. Before he could even react, the main sword he held to control the formation snapped in two.

"Boom, boom..."

Immediately following, a violent force of a punch swept outward like a flash flood.

"Pfft, pfft..."

The few Qi Refining disciples holding the sword formation spat blood in unison and were sent flying backward.

At the same time, Cui Hao was also blasted backward by that terrifying punch, his stomach churning violently as if his internal organs were being displaced.

Before he could even steady himself, Chen Changqing's figure vanished from where he stood.

When he looked again, the man had already sprinted right in front of him.

"So... so fast!"

Watching Chen Changqing appear before him like a ghost, Cui Hao's mind reeled in shock.

Chen Changqing gave Cui Hao a cold smile and threw a backhanded punch.

Seeing this, Cui Hao's face turned pale with terror, and in his frantic panic, he hurriedly raised his hands to defend.

"Bang!"

A terrifying sound of an explosive punch rang out.

The air shattered, and shockwaves rolled outward.

"Ah!"

Cui Hao let out a miserable shriek as his body was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the mountain wall.

Afterward, Chen Changqing walked straight up to the dying Cui Hao and snatched the points from his Identity Token.

"If you want to rob others of their points, you must be prepared to have your own points taken."

After dropping these words, Chen Changqing turned around and walked away with ease.

Cui Hao stared at Chen Changqing with eyes wide enough to split, unable to believe that he, a dignified Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, had been defeated by Chen Changqing, who was only at the Qi Refining level, with a single punch!

"No... impossible!"

He shook his head incessantly, unable to accept such a reality.

On the other side, Liu Ruyan was also stunned by the scene before her, her face filled with disbelief.

Chen Changqing had not only broken the Seven Kill Sword Formation with one punch but had also defeated the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cui Hao with another.

Seeing Chen Changqing approach, Liu Ruyan parted her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock as she stammered:

"Junior Brother, you..."

Chen Changqing paid no mind to Liu Ruyan's shock and said calmly:

"Senior Sister, how did you end up being targeted by them?"

Liu Ruyan forced down the shock in her heart and gave a bitter smile:

"I was originally leading a few Junior Brothers from the Seven Courtyards to hunt Realm Beasts, but we were besieged by disciples from other courtyards and eventually separated."

"I encountered Cui Hao and the others from the Second Courtyard here."

"Seeing that I was alone, they naturally harbored evil intentions and wanted to snatch the points I had collected."

Chen Changqing nodded, then gathered the Identity Tokens of the other Second Courtyard disciples and had Liu Ruyan take the points within them.

For this, Liu Ruyan was naturally filled with gratitude, and her favor toward Chen Changqing rose significantly.

Following this, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan traveled together, raiding the points of disciples from other courtyards.

After a round of looting, the points in Chen Changqing's Identity Token had reached 2,300.

On the plaza outside the Void Realm.

As Chen Changqing's points surged, his rank on the Points Leaderboard rose once again, immediately causing a stir among the various courtyards.

"Look! Chen Changqing has risen again!"

"This?"

"Second place?"

"Hiss..."

"Since when did the Seven Courtyards produce such a figure?"

"Chen Changqing? I've never even heard of him before!"

"..."

In the Seven Courtyards area, Elder Liu Mu stroked his beard and laughed heartily, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothing out.

"Good, very good! That lad Chen Changqing has truly brought honor to this old man!"

The elders of the other courtyards all wore grim expressions.

The Seven Courtyards had always been the bottom-ranked among the Seven Outer Courtyards, so Chen Changqing's sudden rise to prominence naturally left them feeling displeased.

Meanwhile, inside the Void Realm.

Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan arrived at a valley shrouded in mist.

From afar, they could see many people gathered there.

"So many people are in a standoff here?"

Could it be that they've discovered some treasure?

Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes, considering the possibility.

On the outskirts of the valley, disciples from various courtyards stood ready for battle.

Deeper within the valley, four figures stood upon their flying swords.

Chen Changqing was no stranger to one of them; it was none other than the Seven Courtyards' senior brother, Qingyang!

Below the valley where the four were locked in a standoff, an object emitted a brilliant golden light, dazzling to behold.

It was easy to see that whatever lay hidden beneath that golden glow must be a great treasure.

Qingyang and the others were clearly locked in this confrontation for the sake of that very item.
