Chapter 8, Composure

Zhuo Qingxu

The current offensive of Qingxu is akin to a tempest, with one sword strike reverberating, followed closely by a second. Before he could even adjust to the impact of such force, he could no longer hold onto the sword in his hand. As his palm cracked and blood spilled forth, the sword was unexpectedly knocked out of his grasp.

Jin Wu, Fang You, Feng Cun Gui, Zhuo Feng Yun, and others felt a chill in their hearts, intimidated by the imposing presence of Qing Xu, and they did not dare to move.

How is this possible? Defeated! Miss Xu, the licensor, is actually a disciple of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, and yet she was defeated!

What is even more shocking followed shortly after

Sacred Art

Shockwave eruption

This ... ...

Late

Although he has not visited the Zhuo family in recent days, he is aware of the location of the Zhuo family's residence

In an instant, a vast and mysterious pure power surged from within Qing Xu, filling every corner of his internal organs in a way that defied common logic, manifesting out of nothingness.

When metal strikes metal, sparks fly.

As Qingxu was momentarily distracted, a sharp reprimand came from ahead.

Qing Xu uttered a remark, and did not pursue the victory further. With a flash of his figure, he directly appeared in front of Zhuo Yunqing and supported her up.

Qing Xu supported Zhuo Yunqing as they headed towards the Zhuo family home

I can see that Miss Xu has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of the Refining Organs stage; she only needs to take one more step to enter the Blood Transformation stage and become a martial arts master capable of splitting armies with ease. Such strength, in the entire Yunhuang City, can only be matched by a few master-level figures, and no one can suppress her. Even if she were to challenge the entire Zhuo family, as long as the elders of the Zhuo family did not swarm her, she would not fear them in the slightest. Yet, astonishingly... she actually lost

After Qing Xu finished speaking, he took Zhuo Yunqing and leaped away

And she herself had a trace of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth, staring fiercely at Qingxu, wishing she could swallow him whole

Qing Xu retreated, taking advantage of this moment to twist his body, using the force of the retreat to counterattack. He unexpectedly integrated the power contained in the sword strike of the permit holder into the subsequent sword technique, delivering a horizontal strike through the void

The cultivation level has been elevated by one rank, progressing from cleansing the marrow to refining the organs

Not only does it have no side effects, but it also allows one to gain insights into the mysterious art of refining the internal organs in advance, which evidently brings considerable benefits to his future cultivation at the stage of refining the internal organs. With prolonged use, it is sufficient to make it easier for one to step into higher levels.

Zhuo Qingxu has evidently turned from love to hatred towards me... If he truly possesses such talent, once he rises and is summoned into the Hunyuan Tianzong by Nalan Fei... In the future, he may even pose a threat to my position...

This means ... ...

Originally at a disadvantage and struggling to hold his ground, Jin Wu felt a surge of power from Qing Xu that multiplied several times. In the moment their swords clashed, a force of tremendous might erupted, nearly causing the sword he held tightly in his hand to be knocked out of his grip.

But ... ...

It is unclear which entity in the "Temple of Chaos" has utilized what principle to achieve a significant increase in their cultivation level without any side effects

Zhuo Qingxu ... ... Could it be ... ... that this is the reason why Nalan Fei values you ... ... or ... ... is it because you possess a special bloodline talent within you ?

In the end, she still did not take any action

Zhuo Qingxu actually possesses strength that is not inferior to the peak of refining the internal organs, in the entire Zhuo family, who else can restrain him

... ...

Lan Yutong's enchanting eyes narrowed slightly

Along the way, he was still sensing the various changes that the residual chaotic power of the "Divine Art" brought within him, and he felt a sense of curiosity in his heart

Bang

The enhancement of the five internal organs and six bowels has significantly strengthened his own breath, blood, and explosive power, elevating him to an entirely new level, allowing his current state to surpass the peak he reached during his time in Huaguo.

Not good

Is that Zhuo Yunqing? What have you done to Yunqing?

It is indeed somewhat baffling

Buzz!

"Do not fear death; come after me if you dare, but from now on, I will not hold back."

As Qingxu supported Zhuo Yunqing in leaving, there was a fleeting moment when she considered intervening. However, at that moment, Qingxu's displayed strength was already completely on par with her own. If she were to take action against Qingxu and failed to detain her, it would undoubtedly deal a severe blow to her reputation. Moreover, it was highly likely that Nalan Fei would seize the opportunity again, preventing her from being accepted as a true disciple under the Elder of the Rising Sun.

He looked up and saw that he was blocked ahead by four members of the Zhuo family enforcement team. Among the four, there were actually two elders at the Refining Dirty Realm, which shows the family's seriousness regarding this matter

However, she is ultimately a figure at the pinnacle of refining the internal organs. The power of her refined five viscera and six bowels is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to, as in an instant, she shook the sword body, forcefully deflecting the sharp sword of Qingxu, and once again unleashed a new offensive

Long before Qingxu pointed out this ability, I had already sensed the source of this power. At this moment, with a thought, this chaotic secret technique, which can enhance one's cultivation level by one rank, was immediately activated

They must be trying to escape! Why waste so much time talking to him? The tokens of the inner disciples of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect are extremely precious. Right now, we have completely lost our chance with the Zhuo family. Having committed such a grave mistake, we must first capture him and take him back to the clan to be dealt with by the Elder Council

Bang

When did Zhuo Qingxu's cultivation reach such a level? Is it not inferior to that of a master in refining the dirty? What secret method did he use?

The licensor, who initially thought they had the upper hand, was unable to capitalize on their advantage and was immediately forced to switch from offense to defense, blocking with their sword against the counterattack from Qingxu's strike.

At the very beginning, the arrogance displayed by Zhuo Fenglei and Zhuo Xiangdong in front of Zhuo Qingxu was now accompanied by a hint of fear in their eyes

In an instant, the two engaged in a fierce clash under the incredulous gazes of Zhuo Fenglei, Zhuo Xiangdong, Fang You, Zhuo Fengyun, and others, with the sound of swords clashing in the void resonating continuously, leaving everyone speechless.

One of the mysterious abilities bestowed upon him by the Temple of Chaos

The sword's edge followed closely, striking with the force of a bamboo being split, like a flash of lightning, instantly piercing into Jin Wu's body. Even though he reacted extremely quickly, avoiding fatal injury at the first moment, his body was still left with a deep crimson sword wound, nearly pierced through by this strike

Zhuo Qingxu, what do you want to do

The two engaged in a fierce battle for ten breaths, when a sudden explosion of energy erupted from the center of their confrontation, instantly causing dust to swirl in the alley. Amidst the smoke and dust, two figures simultaneously flew out, retreating in haste. With each step they took on the ground, the stone slabs beneath them were inevitably shattered into pieces.

Nothing more than this

Hitting the target, Qingxu's sword suddenly turned, and with Jinwu's painful scream, it opened his wound, lifting the sword upward, the sharp blade precisely intercepted in front of the approaching assassin.

You have arrived just in time. I have been ordered to take you back to the family to answer for your crimes. Surrender obediently and come with us. If you dare to resist, you will face severe punishment

This ... ...

Seeing Zhuo Qingxu, who displayed strength that was completely on par with that of the licensor, everyone wore expressions of disbelief on their faces

This elder has some impression of him, named Zhuo Shaoze, who is an elder of the faction led by Zhuo Xuri, the father of Zhuo Qingxu. He entrusted Zhuo Yunqing to him, allowing Qingxu to feel at ease.

Zhuo Shaoze, upon hearing Qing Xu's words, immediately displayed a somewhat unusual expression: "Moreover, what is the matter with the injuries on your body?"

Bang

Qingxu entrusted Zhuo Yunqing to one of the elders

Since you have arrived, you may take her back to treat her injuries

The cooling period is one month ... ... acceptable ... ...

No wonder that Dongqian made remarkable progress after obtaining the method of the "Chaotic Divine Temple" from that Heavenly Sovereign, achieving the realm of shattered vacuum within a millennium

Whoosh

rumbling

Jin Wu's expression changed dramatically as he sensed something was amiss, and he immediately withdrew and flew back.

In less than a moment, a rumbling sound erupted beneath the feet of the permit holder, and the ground where she stood instantly shattered into pieces. Cracks spread across the floor, causing the area within a one-meter radius around her to nearly collapse by half a foot. This demonstrates the astonishing magnitude of the force she had just channeled into the ground; if it were to explode within a human body, it would undoubtedly reduce a person to smithereens.

Even though the licensor tightly grips the sword in hand, they are still somewhat numbed in the palm by a strike from the sword that is infused with two forces from the Qingxu.

Refining the dirty
