Seeing that Qin Yao had good talent for cultivation, Granny An took her in as a disciple and carefully guided her. Now, she is a powerful expert at the Immortal Lord Realm Ninth Stage Peak.
Qin Yao nodded and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Qin Zixuan shook her head and said, "I suffered some internal injuries, but it's nothing serious."
"Hahaha!" Zhou Peng laughed loudly, looking at Qin Yao with immense excitement. "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be another beauty here."
He looked at Qin Zixuan and said with a wicked smile, "This beauty looks somewhat like you. She must be your older or younger sister, right? Tsk tsk tsk, I love twin sisters the most."
"You're courting death!" Qin Yao sneered, and with a flash, she attacked Zhou Peng.
Zhou Peng was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and met the attack. He raised his hand and threw a punch. The fist was huge and carried a terrifying Fist Intent, which shattered space and time.
Qin Yao's expression was extremely solemn. She channeled her immortal Immortal Qi into the sword and then slashed with all her might.
Boom!
Click!
The Sword Intent shattered, Qin Yao was sent flying backward, her face instantly losing all color, and the long sword in her hand almost slipped from her grasp.
Zhou Peng was Immortal Saint Realm, while Qin Yao was merely Immortal Lord; the difference between them was like an insurmountable chasm. Therefore, how could Qin Yao possibly be a match for Zhou Peng?
Qin Zixuan knew that Qin Yao was no match for Zhou Peng, so she no longer hesitated, transformed into a streak of blue light, and rushed towards Zhou Peng with murderous intent and overwhelming momentum.
At this moment, the Qilin beast blocked her way, its face revealing a fierce light, roaring incessantly, and then opened its blood-red maw, fiercely biting at Qin Zixuan.
Qin Zixuan was shocked and dared not be careless. She stopped in her tracks and fell backward to avoid the Qilin's bite. But that wasn't the end of it. Seeing that it hadn't killed Qin Zixuan, the Qilin's ferocity intensified. It used its mountain-like body to smash into Qin Zixuan.
Qin Zixuan was caught off guard and was immediately thrown away, coughing up blood as her injuries worsened. However, she quickly recovered, Hand Seals rapidly condensed Frost energy in the air, eventually forming a giant sword a thousand feet long.
The sword gleamed with a chilling light. With a furious shout from Qin Zixuan, the giant sword slashed down, its cold aura overwhelming and its momentum unstoppable, terrifying beyond measure!
The Qilin roared, causing the wind and clouds to change color and the mountains and rivers to tremble. A visible vortex formed in its mouth, where terrifying power gathered and finally shot out a dazzling golden light.
Boom!
The golden light collided with the giant sword, creating a deafening sound that shook the mountains and rivers and could be heard for millions of miles around.
Qin Zixuan opened her right hand, which condensed into a long sword. Then she took a step forward and launched an attack, instantly engaging the Qilin in battle.
On the other side, Qin Yao was completely suppressed by Zhou Peng and was no match for him. The gap between the two was still too great.
Zhou Peng looked at Qin Zixuan, his expression uncertain. What was wrong with this woman? How could she fight the Qilin beast to this extent?
Qin Yao arrived, and Zhou Peng, seeing her, remained calm. "Fine," he thought, "That woman is no match for the Qilin beast anyway." A smile played on his lips. "Beauty, let me have some fun with you."
Meanwhile, high above, two figures were locked in a fierce battle. Compared to the fight between Qin Zixuan and Zhou Peng, this battle was even more thrilling, for it was a battle between two Immortal Venerable!
Granny An pointed her cane at the void, and light gathered and shot out in an instant. The old man in the distance changed his expression slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he condensed a celestial shield in front of him.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the immortal shield shattered, yet it had blocked the attack. The old man let out a soft snort, his killing intent palpable. He raised his hand and hurled hundreds of points of light, which flew a hundred feet away from Granny An.
"Burst!"
With a furious shout, hundreds of points of light exploded instantly, causing a tremendous upheaval. Granny An's expression froze as she was forcefully propelled 100,000 feet by the terrifying airflow.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating a serious internal injury. Her heart sank; if she hadn't reacted quickly and retreated in advance, it wouldn't have been as simple as internal injuries.
Suddenly, the old man slammed his palm down, tearing apart the sky and spacetime. From within the crack, a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky descended violently.
With a tremor of her cane, Granny An unleashed a dazzling beam of light that shot into the sky with overwhelming power. It slammed into the giant palm, instantly piercing it and turning it into starlight that vanished into the world.
The old man's face was ashen. That palm strike was no weak blow, yet Granny An had easily neutralized it. This truly alarmed him. It seemed her strength was far greater than it appeared. If this continued, he would surely lose!
The old man pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhou Shuo, who was fighting An Chuxin in the distance, and transmitted his voice, "This can't go on! Quickly call that senior to make a move!"
Zhou Shuo frowned, unleashing a full-force attack that repelled An Chuxin. He then created distance, glanced up at the old man, nodded, and his expression turned respectful. "Please, senior, help my Star-Shattering Sect destroy the Guanghan Palace!"
boom!
In an instant, an incomparably terrifying pressure, like a monstrous wave, swept out, suppressing everyone in the arena, and countless Human Heart were filled with fear.
"Not good!" Granny An's expression changed drastically. The oppressive aura made her heart tremble. She knew that a powerful figure might descend soon, and if that figure appeared, the Guanghan Palace would be in danger.
Click!
Spacetime shattered, and from the crack emerged a man—a middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, tall and handsome. The terrifying pressure emanated from him.
"Senior!"
The members of the Star-Shattering Sect bowed to the middle-aged man, each with a look of utmost respect.
Granny An gazed at the middle-aged man, her face gradually lost its color.
The Guanghan Palace is finished!
This middle-aged man was far beyond their ability to contend with; he was at least a Immortal Sovereign Emperor!
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. He looked at Zhou Shuo and said coldly, "I'm here to protect Zhou Peng's safety, not to meddle in your affairs."
Zhou Shuo's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was filled with fear. He was about to speak when the middle-aged man said again, "Fine, since you gave birth to such a good son, I'll take action this time."
Zhou Shuo's face lit up with joy, and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, senior!"
The middle-aged man ignored them, his gaze sweeping over the people of the Guanghan Palace. The oppressive aura emanating from him was incredibly strong. The people of the Guanghan Palace showed fear on their faces, their bodies trembled, and they dared not breathe, feeling the aura of death permeating the air.
Finally, the middle-aged man's gaze fell on Qin Zixuan. Qin Zixuan trembled, clenched her fists, and subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.
Zhou Peng then said, "Senior, I want this woman to be my wife!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Peng and calmly nodded, "Okay."
This suited him perfectly, because he never wanted to kill Qin Zixuan in the first place. Qin Zixuan possessed a special physique and an exceptionally monstrous talent for cultivation; killing her would be a waste.
