The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

"If you must blame someone, blame yourself for valuing those external possessions too much. Today, we didn’t catch the Void Beast, so you’ll have to compensate for that loss!"

Before the words even settled, twelve blood-colored dragon shadows roared out once again.

"Once I escape, I’ll kill you!" Zhou Qing shouted angrily, as brilliant thunder light suddenly erupted around him.

Three thousand spiritual seals emerged like a galaxy, swirling around him, illuminating the entire array space brightly.

"Thunder Seal Unity!"

With a low shout, the three thousand spiritual seals seamlessly merged with the thunder, finally collapsing into a purple gold thunder spear as thick as an arm.

Destructive thunder arcs danced on the spear’s body, even causing the surrounding space to start distorting.

Zhou Qing could clearly feel that he was just a step away from the mid-stage of the Spirit Severing Realm.

In fact, a hundred years ago, his spiritual power accumulation had already sufficed, with only his realm not yet reaching perfection.

Now, with the support of a full three thousand spiritual seals, the power of this "Thunder Seal Unity" far exceeded its previous iterations by several times.

Witnessing this scene, Li Wusheng’s pupils constricted abruptly, his face turning pale: "A fourth-level array master?!"

He exclaimed in shock, never having expected that the person before him would be of such a level.

It must be known that many Spirit Severing Realm experts couldn’t even be associated with a fourth-level array master, and this person was merely two thousand spiritual seals away from the legendary fifth-level array master!

Regret surged through his heart endlessly, almost turning his intestines green with remorse.

If he could have befriended such an array master, how could he ever worry about lacking opportunities?

But now...

Seeing the icy killing intent in Zhou Qing’s eyes, Li Wusheng knew there was no room for maneuver.

More terrifyingly, if this person were to escape, with the connections of a fourth-level array master, even a Supreme might strike at him just to curry favor.

"I must kill him!" Malicious intent surged in Li Wusheng’s eyes as he exerted his full strength to activate the array, blue veins bulging on his forehead.

At that moment, Zhou Qing clenched his five fingers, the purple gold thunder spear flying into his hand.

In an instant, his long black hair stood on end, each strand entwined with fine purple thunder arcs, crackling sharply through the void.

His eyes transformed into two blinding masses of thunder light, the boundary between his whites and pupils vanished, leaving only pure thunder boiling in his sockets.

His skin manifested ancient thunder patterns, each line brimming with destructive energy.

He embodied the descent of the Thunder God, every move bearing the might of heaven and earth.

At this moment, each feather on his golden wings was coated with purple electricity, and as his wings spread, countless small space rifts flashed in and out of sight at the edges.

Seeing the current scene, Li Wusheng inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

No longer caring for anything else, the malice in his eyes intensified.

He fiercely bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood into his palm, and as his hands formed seals, the dragon patterns on the twelve stone pillars lit up for the third time.

But this time, the bloodlight didn’t condense into dragon shapes, instead turning into countless scarlet chains that attacked like venomous snakes from all directions!

Zhou Qing’s gaze was icy, the purple gold thunder spear in his hand humming and trembling, the thunder arcs on the spear’s body growing even more violent.

With a flap of his wings, he shot skyward like a purple gold lightning bolt, the purple electricity on his golden feathers crashing head-on with the scarlet chains!

"Boom!"

Thunder light exploded, instantly shattering dozens of chains upon contact.

But more chains wrapped around him relentlessly like clinging vines.

Zhou Qing moved like electricity, weaving through the chain openings.

However, these chains seemed endless, able to twist and track on their own, and in a blink, they completely sealed the space within ten zhang around him!

"Hahaha!" Li Wusheng laughed maniacally, "This Lock Soul Formation has even trapped Supreme Realm Void Beasts before. How would you, a mere early-stage Spirit Severing, break it?!"

Before the words were fully spoken, Zhou Qing suddenly halted, grasping the purple gold thunder spear horizontally, its tip aimed at the heavens!

"Thunder Seal—Ten Thousand Jun!"

"Rumble—"

Above the firmament, thunderclouds gathered abruptly, countless thick purple bolts pouring down like waterfalls, instantly flooding into the thunder spear!

The thunder light on the spear body surged, and the thunder spear, originally thick as an arm, swelled to several zhangs in size, its terrifying thunder power causing the entire array space to start collapsing!

Li Wusheng’s face changed drastically, hastily forming incantations to reinforce the array, but it was already too late!

Zhou Qing spread his wings in fury, transforming into a world-ending thunderbolt, charging straight at the array’s core!

"Break!"

"Boom—!!!"

The moment the spear tip pierced the array node, the entire Blood Prison Lock Soul Formation exploded violently!

A dozen stone pillars crumbled inch by inch, the bronze array patterns on the ground cracking like a spiderweb, eventually shattering into countless fragments scattering everywhere!

Li Wusheng was thrown hundreds of zhang by the explosion’s shockwave, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes full of shock!

"Impossible... this is impossible!" He roared, seemingly mad, "You’re merely early-stage Spirit Severing, how could you break my Blood Prison Lock Soul Formation?!"

Zhou Qing slowly landed, the purple gold thunder spear angled towards the ground, the thunder light on its body yet to dissipate.

He gazed coldly at Li Wusheng, his voice like the icy depths of the Nine Hells: "Now, it’s your turn."

Li Wusheng trembled all over, the madness in his eyes gradually replaced by fear.

Suddenly, he dropped to both knees, his forehead knocking heavily against the ground: "Taoist Friend Zhou, spare my life! It was my old eyes that couldn’t recognize Mount Tai!"

"Considering we’re both loose cultivators, if you’d let me go, I’d offer you all my life’s savings, and also..."

"I already gave you a chance." Zhou Qing interrupted him, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "Besides, like you, I don’t like leaving troubles for myself."

The purple gold thunder spear transformed into a lightning bolt, piercing through Li Wusheng’s forehead in an instant.

Yet mysteriously, the body didn’t fall but shattered like porcelain, finally dissolving into a burning talisman’s ashes drifting away.
