Instantly Killing Three Peak First-rate Martial Artists (Seeking Follow-ups, Seeking Monthly Votes)

"He's dead. With just one slash, he instantly killed the Red Wolf Deputy Commander, Cloud Piercer Spear Feng Jun. Such strength is far too terrifying."

"Did you hear that? This fiend who instantly killed Cloud Piercer Spear Feng Jun with one slash and forcefully broke into the Eagle Wolf Guard called himself Zhou Qing."

"Zhou Qing—the Mad Blade ranked eightieth on the wanted list. Rumor has it that he is immensely powerful, ruthless and merciless, acting without any restraint. I never expected to witness his bearing with my own eyes today."

"His blade truly is fast."

"Wasn't there news that Zhou Qing appeared at Cold Moon Villa and killed Blood Hand Butcher Li Baichuan? Red Wolf Commander Fang Yuan led two Deputy Commanders in pursuit. Why has Zhou Qing appeared here?"

"Could it be that Commander Fang met with misfortune?"

"That's impossible. Commander Fang is an expert who has grasped a Sword Intent Seed, ranked thirty-seventh on the Human Ranking. His strength far surpasses that of ordinary Peak First-rate Martial Artists; he is a First-rate Martial Artist. How could Zhou Qing possibly be his match?"

"Commander Fang most likely came up empty-handed."

"I'd say Zhou Qing really is bold. He actually slaughtered his way straight into the Eagle Wolf Guard's headquarters. Other than the Fire Worship Cult rebels, this is the first case in more than a decade."

"Zhou Qing's actions have undoubtedly pushed him onto the crest of the waves. The Eagle Wolf Guard has deep foundations and experts as numerous as clouds. By doing this, he has already embarked upon the road to death. Ordinary Eagle Wolf Guards cannot deal with Zhou Qing; they will likely dispatch experts from the Eagle Guard to hunt him down."

"The Eagle Guard protects the capital and patrols the realm on Heaven's behalf. Even the weakest among them are First-rate Martial Artists, and they excel at tracking. Zhou Qing's actions may display his formidable strength and courage, but they have also plunged him into a place of eternal damnation."

"I'm very curious—what exactly does he have to rely on, to dare act so recklessly?"

"..."

The crowd discussed heatedly.

Every spectator around them was shocked.

Zhou Qing had instantly killed Eagle Wolf Guard Deputy Commander Feng Jun with one slash. Such strength had undoubtedly reached the level of a Peak First-rate Martial Artist.

"Eagle Wolf Guard Commander Fang Yuan is not in the city, but I heard that Blade Catcher Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun is in the Prefecture City."

"Besides Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun, there are also One-armed Swordsman Xu Ning and Ghost Shadow Chasing Wind Yang Zheng. These three Blade Catchers are all Peak First-rate Martial Artists at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm. Lei Kun in particular has cultivated his Thunder Momentum to the perfected realm. If they learn that Zhou Qing has appeared, the three Blade Catchers will certainly rush over at once."

"If these three Blade Catchers join forces, even if Zhou Qing is a Peak First-rate Martial Artist, I fear he will find it difficult to escape."

"Indeed. For Zhou Qing to attain such strength in such a short time, he must possess some fortuitous opportunity. The three Blade Catchers will not let this chance slip by. But since Zhou Qing dared to break into the Eagle Wolf Guard's headquarters alone, he has likely made preparations and will not be captured so easily."

"No matter what, we only need to watch the show."

"..."

Hearing the commotion, more and more people gathered from the surrounding area.

Discussion erupted throughout the crowd.

Most of them had come with the mindset of watching a good show.

In their eyes, although Zhou Qing was powerful, two fists could not defeat four hands. Facing three Peak First-rate Martial Artists, he was bound to be no match.

About half an incense stick later.

Zhou Qing emerged swiftly from the Eagle Wolf Guard's headquarters with a large bundle on his back. At the same time, three figures sped toward him from the distance.

Those three figures were none other than the three Blade Catchers: Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun, One-armed Swordsman Xu Ning, and Ghost Shadow Chasing Wind Yang Zheng.

"Villain, do not flee!"

The moment the three Blade Catchers appeared, they charged at Zhou Qing.

Rumble!

Zhou Qing heard an explosive boom resound between Heaven and Earth.

Then he saw densely packed bolts of thunder power appear between Heaven and Earth, blasting toward him. This was the Power of Momentum unleashed by Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun through the power of his mind—Thunder Momentum.

Whoosh!

Immediately afterward, a dazzling blade light appeared. It contained sharp intent and sliced through the sky like a bolt of silk, likewise slashing toward Zhou Qing.

Wuuu—

Besides the thunder power and the silk-like blade light, a black tempest swept toward Zhou Qing. It emitted sounds like ghosts weeping and wolves howling, attacking his spiritual consciousness.

Of these three Powers of Momentum, the thunder power had reached perfection, while the other two had reached the greater mastery realm. The force they unleashed together was truly something an ordinary Peak First-rate Martial Artist could not withstand.

However, even Fang Yuan's Sword Intent Seed, which surpassed perfected Sword Momentum, had been unable to injure Zhou Qing. Much less could one perfected Power of Momentum and two at greater mastery do so. He did not even need to use the Lin Character Immovable Wisdom King Seal. By activating his perfected Freezing Momentum to weaken most of their power, then relying on his indestructible will, he could withstand them.

But in order to end the battle quickly, Zhou Qing unleashed the Dou Character Outer Lion Seal from the Nine Syllable Mantra Seal.

In an instant, Zhou Qing's blood and qi and inner force burned, and the aura erupting from his body immediately increased severalfold.

The Dou Character Outer Lion Seal could stimulate the body's potential, allowing one's cultivation to surge severalfold in an instant. However, if one's physique was not sufficiently strong, the body would enter a period of weakness after using it.

But Zhou Qing had cultivated the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique to the perfected ninth level. His physique was powerful, adamantine and indestructible. Thus, even when he activated the Outer Lion Seal to stimulate his body's potential, he did not need to worry about side effects in the short term.

Clang!

Zhou Qing drew his blade in an instant.

With the enhancement of the Dou Character Outer Lion Seal, the aura Zhou Qing unleashed instantly surged severalfold—not only his physical strength, but also his inner force and the power of his mind.

As this slash fell, blue blade light instantly tore through the void and slashed toward the three Blade Catchers several zhang away.

Cold!

Incomparably cold!

As Zhou Qing's slash descended, power at the level of the mind clashed first. His perfected Freezing Momentum surged severalfold. How terrifying was that? Even if it was inferior to a Seed of Artistic Conception, the difference was not great.

Therefore, whether it was Thunder Momentum, blade momentum, or black wind momentum, all of them were frozen in an instant.

As their Powers of Momentum were crushed, the bodies of Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun, One-armed Swordsman Xu Ning, and Ghost Shadow Chasing Wind Yang Zheng also froze stiff on the spot in an instant. Then the blue blade light descended over them.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to that blue blade light. What they saw seemed not to be blue blade light, but an endless world of glaciers. Within those glaciers stood three ice sculptures.

Those three ice sculptures were the three Blade Catchers: Primordial Thunder Hand Lei Kun, One-armed Swordsman Xu Ning, and Ghost Shadow Chasing Wind Yang Zheng.

The blue blade light faded.

Zhou Qing had already vanished before everyone's eyes.

Yet the three Blade Catchers—Lei Kun, Xu Ning, and Yang Zheng—had truly become ice sculptures, just as everyone had seen in that glacial world. Then crackling sounds rang out in succession.

Before everyone's eyes, the bodies of the three Peak First-rate Martial Artists completely shattered into ice. Fragments scattered in every direction, and a terrifying chill spread with the shattered ice, making hearts tremble.

At that moment, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with disbelief.
