Obtained the Primordial Chaos True Art

"I had indeed seen the Xiantian-level Primordial Chaos True Art." Luo Xi paused slightly, then nodded and continued, "However, this Xiantian cultivation method is extraordinarily valuable. If you promise that, once you have the strength, you will avenge me..."

Luo Xi knew that his time was running out.

Therefore, he wanted to use the Primordial Chaos True Art to have Zhou Qing avenge him.

"I promise you!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhou Qing agreed outright.

The other man's request was not harsh. He was not asking Zhou Qing to immediately charge into Vajra Gate, but only to seek justice from Vajra Gate once he had the strength.

There was no reason for Zhou Qing to refuse.

"Good. I hope you will not break your word."

Luo Xi nodded.

He knew his days were numbered. His only lingering wish was for someone to avenge him.

Before this, he had seen no hope.

But Zhou Qing's appearance had let him see hope.

"My lord, this is bad." At that moment, a constable rushed anxiously into the government hall, saying in alarm, "Vajra Gate disciples are demanding that we hand over Luo Xi!"

"Vajra Gate disciples? I understand." Zhou Qing's expression did not change. He then said to Luo Xi, "Mr. Luo, I will deal with the Vajra Gate disciples who have come knocking. Stay here and write out the manual for the Primordial Chaos True Art from memory."

"Alright!"

Luo Xi answered, picked up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that had long been prepared at the side, and began writing out the Primordial Chaos True Art manual from memory.

He had once been an Innate Grandmaster, and his memory was astonishing. Though a long time had passed, he had not forgotten the contents of the Primordial Chaos True Art.

"Just a pack of worthless trash like you think you can stop us!"

At that moment, the Vajra Gate disciples barged in with utter arrogance. The government runners and constables who tried to stop them were all sent flying, crashing to the ground with groans and screams.

Given Vajra Gate's power, as long as they did not openly commit the crime of killing a court official such as the County Magistrate, merely injuring a few government runners and constables was no great matter at all.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

At that moment, more than a dozen figures from Vajra Gate rushed into the hall. Every one of them radiated a powerful aura; even the weakest was a Peak Second-rate Martial Artist.

Of them, the three in the lead had reached Peak First-rate Martial Artist.

"You must be the Eagle Wolf Guard's guest advisor!"

A Peak First-rate Martial Artist from Vajra Gate looked at Zhou Qing.

Having come to the county office, they had naturally learned from the government runners that it was the Eagle Wolf Guard's guest advisor who had ordered the runners and constables to hunt down Luo Xi.

"You barged into the county office and injured government runners and constables. Are you trying to rebel?"

Zhou Qing calmly looked at the Vajra Gate disciples before him.

"Hmph, don't try to pin the label of rebellion on us. So what if you are the Eagle Wolf Guard's guest advisor? You do not represent the imperial court. Today, Vajra Gate will take Luo Xi away no matter what!" The Peak First-rate Martial Artist from Vajra Gate snorted coldly, then threatened, "Hand him over if you know what is good for you, or we will make you regret it!"

"You think you can take Luo Xi away from me? What wishful thinking." Zhou Qing remained utterly unruffled as he said lightly, "If you have the ability, then make your move. I would like to see just how capable your Vajra Gate is."

"Since that is the case, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Why waste words with him?"

"So what if he is the Eagle Wolf Guard's guest advisor? He is not a real Eagle Wolf Guard. Sticking two scallions up your nostrils does not make you an elephant."

"Kill!"

A fierce glint flashed through the eyes of Vajra Gate's three Peak First-rate Martial Artists.

Buzz—

A roar erupted from within the three men. Vast golden blood qi surged out of their bodies like erupting volcanoes, gathering above their heads into terrifying Blood Qi Furnaces.

The Blood Qi Furnaces radiated blazing light, dyeing the surrounding air golden. The three Peak First-rate Martial Artists of Vajra Gate were like three small mountains as they bore down on Zhou Qing with overwhelming force.

Zhou Qing merely stood where he was.

Against Peak First-rate Martial Artists, he did not even need to draw his sword.

Buzz—

With a thought, the sword intent within Zhou Qing's ancestral aperture between his brows erupted with endless sharpness, transforming into three peerless divine swords capable of severing all things as they slashed toward Vajra Gate's three Peak First-rate Martial Artists.

And that was not all.

In the eyes of Vajra Gate's three Peak First-rate Martial Artists, they seemed to have been thrown into a world of ice. Torrential rain poured from the sky, each raindrop carrying terrifying chill and the weight of a mountain as it pierced into their bodies.

Terrifying howls of wind and peals of thunder also rang by their ears.

Then, all of those forces merged into the peerless divine swords that could sever all things, aiming at their brows and stabbing in viciously.

Even though they cultivated the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique and possessed indestructible mental wills, before this force, they became utterly fragile.

"Ah!"

As the peerless divine swords pierced their brows, Vajra Gate's three Peak First-rate Martial Artists let out shrill screams at the same time, their bodies toppling backward.

Thud.

The backs of the three Peak First-rate Martial Artists' heads struck the ground. They no longer had any trace of life.

Then Zhou Qing glanced at the remaining Vajra Gate disciples.

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

The Vajra Gate disciples' eyes immediately turned vacant, as though their souls had left them. One after another, they collapsed to the ground, completely motionless.

"Dispose of the bodies!"

Zhou Qing withdrew his gaze, his face showing not the slightest ripple, as though everything that had happened was no more than a trivial matter.

The surrounding government runners and constables all gaped at the sight.

Every one of them was dumbstruck in disbelief.

The weakest of these Vajra Gate disciples had been Peak Second-rate Martial Artists, while the three leaders had even been Peak First-rate Martial Artists.

Yet before Zhou Qing, they were no different from ants.

"So this is the strength of a First-rate Martial Artist."

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. He killed Peak First-rate Martial Artists with merely a glance. How terrifying must an Innate Grandmaster be?"

"This is Artistic Conception power. Such power is beyond our understanding."

"..."

The surrounding government runners and constables discussed animatedly.

Their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked at Zhou Qing.

They had heard from storytellers and wandering martial artists that First-rate Martial Artists were terrifyingly powerful, but this was the first time they had witnessed one in action.

With just one glance, Zhou Qing had instantly killed three Peak First-rate Martial Artists and a whole group of Peak Second-rate Martial Artists. They feared they would never forget such a scene for the rest of their lives.

When they grew old, they would even be able to boast about it to the younger generation of their families.

"Quick, dispose of the bodies!"

The government runners and constables came back to their senses and began carrying away the Vajra Gate disciples' corpses, each scrambling to be the first forward.

Zhou Qing had no interest in the possessions on the Vajra Gate disciples.

But for these government runners and constables, they were a tremendous windfall.

Before long.

The corpses of the Vajra Gate disciples in the hall had all been cleared away.

This disturbance did not interrupt Luo Xi. He continued earnestly writing out the contents of the Primordial Chaos True Art.

"Done!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Luo Xi set down his brush.

He folded the sheets of paper together and handed them to Zhou Qing.

Primordial Chaos True Art / Not Initiated

Zhou Qing carefully read through it once. The Primordial Chaos True Art, a Xiantian-level cultivation method, also appeared on the panel.
