Chapter235

For some unknown reason, from the very beginning, Zhou Peng didn't feel any pressure in the Scarlet Refinement Cave, nor did he have any discomfort in his body. Zhou Peng was also puzzled in his heart. After much thought, the only explanation he could think of was the damage to his Dantian. With his Dantian damaged, his True Qi couldn't be tempered and condensed normally, and he could only rely on the Qi points in the system. He was completely immune to the thick Geng Metal Qi in the Scarlet Refinement Cave. He could go as deep as he wanted without any problem, but this also meant that he couldn't use the Geng Metal Qi to improve his strength. From the very beginning, Zhou Peng knew that this would be the result. So when he entered the Scarlet Refinement Cave, he wondered if he could temper his physical body since he couldn't level up. When he started to regulate his breath and cultivate in the cave room, he found that it was also useless for his physical body. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "I finally came here. How could I be worthy of myself if I return empty - handed?" Since he couldn't temper the Geng Metal Qi through cultivation, then killing people and exploding their refined Geng Metal Qi would be much faster than refining it himself. Hiding his aura, he followed the five major disciples all the way. When he heard their conversation, he sneered coldly in his heart, "You guys are too inexperienced to kill me." "Wait until I recover 100,000 Qi points, and I will send you to the Avici Hell one by one." --- Let's talk about Zhao Kunlun and the other four. They would never have thought that all the words they had just said had been overheard by Zhou Peng, and they would never have thought that Zhou Peng was less than thirty feet away from them. "Seventh Junior Brother, you go and keep watch near Zhou Peng's room. As soon as you sense that the Geng Metal Qi is starting to thin out, immediately send us a signal. Don't act rashly and alert the enemy." "Third Senior Brother, I can deal with Zhou Peng alone. As long as he dares to come out, I will instantly disable him." "Your cultivation level is naturally higher than Zhou Peng's, but Zhou Peng is insidious and ruthless. He can use all kinds of despicable moves. In order to kill him in one fell swoop, we must be foolproof." Zhao Kunlun said seriously. "Listen to Third Senior Brother." Zhao Jianyi remained expressionless, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. "Ninth Brother is going to keep watch on Zhou Peng. What are we going to do?" "Go back to our own rooms to cultivate. Now our position in the master's heart is not as important as Zhou Peng's. If we don't kill Zhou Peng, we might be driven out of Beyond - the - Heavens in the future. We must maximize our cultivation." Everyone nodded seriously. Indeed, as Zhao Kunlun said, from the moment they entered the Celestial Palace Beyond - the - Heavens, they felt that Long Xiaotian's look at them had changed. This feeling made them sense the crisis. And all of this was ultimately because of Zhou Peng. They were like a group of concubines vying for favor. Zhou Peng's appearance made them lose their favor. The only way was to get rid of Zhou Peng. The deaths of Zhao Donglai and the others were just excuses. The five of them knew this very well in their hearts. The spiritual energy in Beyond - the - Heavens was abundant. Cultivating here could make one progress by leaps and bounds. No one wanted to leave. In this world where the strong were respected, in order to improve their strength, they could use any means. After making the arrangements, Zhao Kunlun gave a reminder, "Ninth Brother, be very careful." "Third Senior Brother, don't worry." In the darkness, the corners of Zhou Peng's mouth curled up, and he sneered repeatedly in his heart. Then he retreated slightly and disappeared into the darkness. Zhao Jianyi, at the ninth level of Samsara, ranked ninth among the top ten disciples. He was good at dual - wielding swords, possessed the art of using both hands independently, and had the ability to do two things at once. Among the top ten disciples, he was the most meticulous one. Zhao Kunlun also saw this in him and that's why he let him keep watch on Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng first returned to his room. Under the induction of the Qi and Law, he soon detected Zhao Jianyi's approach. Immediately, he gave a sinister smile without showing any expression. Zhao Jianyi quietly approached, being extremely cautious. He controlled his breathing very carefully. If it weren't for Zhou Peng's cultivation of the Qi and Law, perhaps even a peak expert at the Breaking - through - the - Sky Realm wouldn't be able to detect him. He stopped ten zhang away from Zhou Peng's room. Ten zhang was not far. It was a smart move as he could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Zhao Jianyi quietly huddled in a corner, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and he didn't make any sound for a long time. More than an hour passed. The Qi in his Dantian had recovered to more than 300,000. Zhou Peng smiled slightly and thought to himself, "Recovering Qi by relying on crystal cores is too slow. I have to kill someone." "Just right to test the Breaking - through - the - Sky power of this Heaven - Overturning Seal." "Let's see how powerful it is." Having made up his mind, Zhou Peng opened his eyes wide and suddenly coughed heavily. "Cough, cough..." "Why has the Geng Metal Qi in the room become so thin?" "What's going on?" The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Zhao Jianyi, who was listening attentively, to hear clearly. Immediately, Zhao Jianyi frowned and was startled, "It hasn't been two hours yet. How could the Geng Metal Qi become so thin?" "It's impossible. Even if Zhou Peng is extremely talented, he couldn't have refined it so quickly." "Has he discovered me?" His heart sank, and a cold glint flashed in the corner of his eye. He said coldly, "Even if he has discovered me, should I be afraid of him?" "If Zhou Peng doesn't die, sooner or later the Sect Master will drive me out of Beyond - the - Heavens. If I kill him, the Sect Master will surely look at me with new eyes. Maybe he will even let me be the eldest disciple..." "Heh heh..." "Zhao Kunlun, how could I not guess what you're thinking? But I won't let you have your way. Do you think you deserve to be my eldest disciple?" All of a sudden, a cold chill emanated from Zhao Jianyi, and his killing intent was fully exposed. "Since you want to lure me over, I'll turn your trick against you and see what tricks you can play..." With a long sword in his hand, a cold light suddenly flashed. Just not far behind him in the darkness, a red light flashed. "I knew you would be like this. You are no match for Zhou Peng at all. Just right to let you consume his Qi. I'll be the one who reaps the benefits." Zhao Kunlun sneered coldly in his heart. He knew very well that Zhao Jianyi was unwilling to be left behind. With his intelligence, if he caught the opportunity, he would surely kill Zhou Peng. However, with only the ninth level of Samsara, he was only fit to be cannon fodder. From the very beginning, Zhao Kunlun had calculated this. The reason why he chose Zhao Jianyi was that he saw his "intelligence." Sometimes, being too intelligent is not a good thing. As Zhao Jianyi advanced, he was also quietly moving forward. "He's coming." Zhou Peng smiled faintly. Then he stood up, walked to the door, and walked out directly. Looking at Zhao Jianyi three zhang away, he said faintly, "Oh, are you also going to the toilet?" Zhou Peng looked at Zhao Jianyi, with his hands behind his back, his right hand holding the Heaven - Overturning Seal, without showing any expression. Zhao Jianyi gave a sinister smile. A strong killing intent emanated from him, "Zhou Peng. Return my senior brother's life..." Before he finished speaking, his long sword suddenly lunged out. Suddenly, a fierce wind raged and burst out violently, along with sharp sword Qi, crazily rushing towards Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng advanced instead of retreating, his speed as fast as a bolt of lightning. When the sword Qi was less than half a meter away from him, he suddenly raised the Heaven - Overturning Seal in his hand and shouted loudly, "Suppress..." The True Qi in his Dantian surged out, directly activating the Heaven - Overturning Seal in his hand. Only to see the dragon eyes on the dragon - shaped handle of the Heaven - Overturning Seal flash, and a powerful Breaking - through - the - Sky divine power burst out, crushing down and instantly shattering the sword Qi released by Zhao Jianyi. Not only that, the Breaking - through - the - Sky divine power that erupted from the Heaven - Overturning Seal surpassed that of ordinary Breaking - through - the - Sky realm cultivators. It was almost fully unleashed instantaneously. The Heaven - Overturning Seal was an ancient divine artifact, although it was currently sealed. But with the fitting of a saintly thought, it possessed the Breaking - through - the - Sky power. But how terrifying was the power driven by a divine artifact? At the moment when the sword Qi was shattered, the long sword in Zhao Jianyi's hand also broke into several pieces with a "clang" sound. Zhao Jianyi was extremely terrified and horrified in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhou Peng could release the power of the Heaven - Overturning Seal. Without much thought, he immediately wanted to retreat from the battle circle. He pushed off with his feet and flew backward, his speed as fast as lightning. However, how could Zhou Peng let him escape just like that? "Six - level Rampage..." His speed suddenly increased by 128 times. Although he didn't expect that the Heaven - Overturning Seal could release such powerful Breaking - through - the - Sky divine power, he had already expected that Zhao Jianyi would retreat. But when he wanted to chase after him, he was astonishingly surprised to find that a red light was secretly flashing under the Heaven - Overturning Seal, and an even more powerful Breaking - through - the - Sky power turned into a sharp arrow and suddenly shot out. "Swish..." A sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out. "Pfft..." A bewitching blood - colored flower bloomed in the darkness. Immediately after, a scream rang out in the darkness! "Ding" "Congratulations to player 'Zhou Peng' for killing 'Zhao Jianyi' and obtaining 800,000 experience points, 180,000 Qi points, and 14,000 Survival points..." "Congratulations to player 'Zhou Peng' for obtaining Geng Metal Qi..." "Dead?" "Kill Zhao Jianyi, who is at the ninth level of Samsara, with just one move?" "Damn it, the Breaking - through - the - Sky power of this Heaven - Overturning Seal is so powerful?" Zhou Peng's eyes showed an ecstatic look. He held the Heaven - Overturning Seal and looked at it over and over again, and then gave it a hard kiss. Zhao Jianyi was one of the top ten disciples, a peak existence at the ninth level of Samsara. Even for an expert at the Breaking - through - the - Sky realm, it would be very difficult to kill him with one move. But the sharp sword released by the Heaven - Overturning Seal directly killed him in one second, extremely sharp. "If so, can all those below the Breaking - through - the - Sky realm be killed instantly?" "Haha..." "I must obtain more saintly thoughts and fully release the power of the Heaven - Overturning Seal. In the future, even the King of Heaven and the God of Earth will have to kneel in front of me." After killing Zhao Jianyi, the Qi points instantly increased by 180,000. If he dealt with these five major disciples, the Qi points would surely be full, and not only that, he could also rise to the sixth level of Entering - the - Void. "Still not coming out?" "How long do you want to hide?" Zhou Peng sneered a few times and walked to Zhao Jianyi's corpse and said loudly. "Humph!" Zhao Kunlun snorted heavily and hissed, "Useless waste." He walked out of the darkness, stared at the Heaven - Overturning Seal in Zhou Peng's hand, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes. He had never thought that Zhao Jianyi would die under the Heaven - Overturning Seal. Zhou Peng was clearly not the "fated one." How could he release its power? He was puzzled, extremely puzzled. However, Zhao Kunlun sneered in his heart. Why was the Heaven - Overturning Seal like this? If he killed Zhou Peng and took it, he would naturally find out. Ancient divine artifacts were what everyone wanted to possess. It was not an ordinary divine artifact that could be refined casually. It possessed the power to overturn the heavens. But from Zhou Peng's shocked look just now, Zhao Kunlun firmly believed that Zhou Peng also didn't know the power of the Heaven - Overturning Seal. Moreover, with Zhou Peng's ability at the fifth level of Entering - the - Void, he couldn't bring out the real power of the Heaven - Overturning Seal at all. The second level of Breaking - through - the - Sky was much stronger than the ninth level of Samsara. What's more, in this Scarlet Refinement Cave, Zhao Kunlun was not afraid of Zhou Peng at all. His killing intent suddenly arose!!
