Chapter 1267 - 378: Inscription Level Divine Technique?! How Could You Possibly Know an Inscription Level Divine Technique?
"How come I never noticed how chatty you are? It’s late, hurry back."Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly, speaking as he pushed Lu Yaoyao towards the door.
Lu Yaoyao pursed her lips: "I call it reasoning. Just tell me, am I right or not?"
"Alright, alright, your mouth is making my head spin..."
Before Zhou Qing could finish, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he swiftly pulled Lu Yaoyao back from the doorway.
Tetanus instantly appeared in his hand, the sword’s edge gleaming with cold light.
Zhou Qing’s entire body tensed, Spiritual Power surging through his meridians, making him like a bow ready to release at any moment.
Lu Yaoyao stumbled from the sudden force, nearly falling.
Just about to say something, she saw Zhou Qing’s serious look and immediately reacted in sync, drawing her Cold Sword and surrounding herself with Spiritual Qi, standing back-to-back with Zhou Qing, alert to the rear.
Zhou Qing’s brows furrowed as he stared fixedly ahead.
A few breaths later, the door creaked open slowly.
An old man shrouded in dark mist appeared in the hallway outside the door, with an unconscious Shen Yunzhou slung over his bluish arm covered in corpse spots.
"I barely leaked a trace of aura and you noticed, not bad, not bad!" The old man looked at Zhou Qing, his raspy voice like sandpaper scraping.
Seeing the old man’s face, Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart—this was the veteran Spirit Slash Realm Perfection who had fought Shen Hanyi at Wuxiang Mountain!
Before this old monster, a mere thought could turn him to dust.
Especially with Shen Yunzhou unconscious, not even able to signal Shen Hanyi.
In a flash, he activated the [50-50 Sticker] without hesitation.
It was freshly refreshed today, originally meant to be saved as a life-saving treasure, but now it’s used.
In the next moment, he felt a peculiar warmth spread throughout his body.
It was as if establishing a mysterious connection with the Laws of Heaven and Earth, achieving a perfect balance between his inner Spiritual Power and the external world.
"What brings a senior like you here this late at night?" Zhou Qing feigned calmness.
The old man emitted a spine-chilling "Heh heh" laugh, ignoring Zhou Qing’s question.
Those murky eyes stared directly at Lu Yaoyao: "Girl, what’s your name?"
Lu Yaoyao watched the old man warily. Though unfamiliar, she could clearly sense the undisguised greed and malice in his eyes.
She did not respond, but a gigantic Ice Lotus suddenly bloomed behind her. Its crystalline petals rotated slowly, releasing a biting chill.
"Tsk tsk, you’re just like that girl from the Shen Family, all high and mighty, truly annoying!" the old man said gloomily.
Hearing this, and seeing the unconscious Shen Yunzhou, Zhou Qing understood the old man’s intent.
He quietly stepped back half a step.
The old man’s sinister gaze suddenly shifted to Zhou Qing, showing signs of impatience on his withered face.
"Kid, sometimes playing dumb is smart. Just hand over the girl, then close the door and go to sleep."
He shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes: "If it were ordinary times, I might spare talent..."
Before he finished speaking, his corpse-spotted hand raised slowly, his dry index finger pointing straight at Zhou Qing’s forehead, "But now, I can only send you on your way."
The old man’s chilling words echoed in the room, and Zhou Qing already felt suffocating death looming.
The seemingly slow-rising index finger had actually locked onto his Divine Soul source, freezing his blood within.
"Not good!" Zhou Qing’s pupils shrunk rapidly, the Spirit Slash Realm Perfection’s pressure causing his bones to groan under the strain.
Instinctively wanting to retreat more, he found the surrounding space already sealed by invisible forces, unable to move even a finger.
But, just then, the recently activated [50-50 Sticker] seemed to sense the fluctuations in the opponent’s power.
Zhou Qing felt his inner Spiritual Power boil instantly, achieving a subtle balance with the necrotic energy emanating from the old man.
"This is..."
Zhou Qing found the world before him suddenly crystal clear.
The old man’s seemingly flawless killing move unraveled into countless fine threads of law in his view.
He could even see how the necrotic energy entwining the old man’s fingertip resonated with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
"Is this the world of Spirit Slash Realm Perfection?" Zhou Qing breathed rapidly, his eyes shining with unprecedented brilliance.
Perhaps this, for him, was a blessing in disguise.
To battle someone of Spirit Slash Realm Perfection, such an experience is incredibly valuable.
Every clash and move provided direct insights into the Spirit Slash Realm.
This personal experience was a hundredfold deeper than any recorded in books.
The previously estimated ninety-nine percent breakthrough probability could now, amid this life-and-death struggle, achieve completion through this realm-transcending combat.
Back at the border when masquerading as the Peng Emperor, he managed to use mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm attacks twice with Xuanyuan Shuo’s help.
The mysterious feeling of resonance with the Laws of Heaven and Earth remains vivid.
And now, he could maintain this state for a whole day!
"Kid, if anyone’s to blame, it’s your bad luck!" The old man’s sinister voice snapped Zhou Qing back to reality.
"Clang—"
Just as the necrotic light at the old man’s fingertip was about to burst forth, Tetanus Broken Sword in Zhou Qing’s hand suddenly quivered autonomously, emitting a clear, resonant sword hum.
