Chapter 1291: Intense Battle
“It turns out that the other person is called Liu Ming, but he is merely at the Celestial State early stage. I seem to have overestimated this person…” The woman in a gray robe narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered.
Qing Shang looked at Qing Songzi’s head. Her face paled immediately, and she shuddered. Qing Shang stared at the woman in a gray robe with immense hatred.
Qing Shang shouted angrily, turned into a stream of white light, and rushed toward the woman in a gray robe.
Upon seeing this, the emerald eyes of the woman in a gray robe flashed. She flicked her hand, casually tossing Qing Songzi’s head aside. Then, she radiated a burst of gray light.
“Sir Qing Gu, help me kill her!”
Qing Shang roared in mid-air while releasing a silver ring from her hand.
The silver ring spun and expanded more than 30 meters. After Qing Shang sent out several symbols, a wave of silver light spread out with a radius of 300 meters around the ring. Silver silks surged out and interweaved into a giant silver net, enveloping the woman in a gray robe.
Upon seeing this, Qing Gu’s face stiffened. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. However, he let out a sigh. His figure swayed, and he flew away toward the distance, ignoring Qing Shang.
“Now you want to run? Don’t you think it’s a bit too late?”
When the woman in a gray robe saw Qing Gu run away, she smiled and waved her sleeve. The gray light all over her body condensed into a giant python phantasm aspect. The phantasm aspect dashed like lightning toward the giant silver net.
Then, she chased after Qing Gu.
These Qing Family’s cultivators saw her, so she could not afford to let them be alive. Before the Three Illumination Luo River Painting was refined, the situation here must not be leaked to the outside world.
The woman in a gray robe’s escape light was far faster than Qing Gu’s. Her figure flickered, quickly closing the distance with Qing Gu. After a brief while, the distance between the two was no more than 300 meters.
The woman in a gray robe had her eyes flashed with murderous intent. She flicked her sleeve and pointed at Qing Gu with 5 fingers. 5 black lights that were several feet long shot at the back of Qing Gu.
Unexpectedly, Qing Gu turned around at lightning speed. He raised his hands, shooting out 8 talismans shrouded in a red glow.
“Burst!”
Qing Gu shouted and made a gesture. 8 talismans burst open, turning into a large area of crimson thunder fire that swarmed the black lights and the woman in a gray robe.
Qing Gu didn’t think he could kill a Celestial State peak stage cultivator with these upper-grade talismans. He had already cast the giant red sword when the talismans were released.
He made a gesture. The giant red sword flew out, turned into a 90 meters long giant red sword light, and slashed into the crimson thunder fire.
At the same time, Qing Gu spat out several black cones, which circled around and pierced into the crimson thunder fire from another direction.
The red sword light and the black cones submerged into the thunder fire. There were several m.u.f.fled rumbles, then there was no other sound.
Qing Gu was a little anxious. This series of attacks was his strongest move. He hesitated in his mind whether he could escape.
Under a m.u.f.fled sound, a red sword flew out of the crimson thunder fire as if it had been severely wounded. The aura on its surface dimmed.
Qing Gu was startled. He hastily made gestures, desperately trying to stabilize the giant red sword.
At this moment, a roar came from the crimson thunder fire that was gradually subsiding.
A huge black shadow slowly emerged. It was a gray python tens of meters long. It was covered with gray scales all over its body. It glanced coldly at Qing Gu with a pair of emerald vertical eyes.
Then, a thick snake tail swept away the remaining crimson thunder fire. The crimson thunder fire flickered twice before dissipating into red light dots.
The short black cones Qing Gu released were now broken into pieces.
Qing Gu’s heart beat like a drum, looking at the colossal beastkin that exuded a tremendous aura. He tried to calm himself. As Qing Gu changed the sword symbols, the giant red sword floated around him slowly.
The giant gray python looked at Qing Gu with its head swaying slightly. The dark red snake tongue spat in and out quickly, but it did not attack immediately.
Qing Gu knew the opponent was looking for an opportunity to kill him with one blow, so he didn’t dare to put his guard down.
At the same time, he glanced at the situation on the other side of the battlefield with peripheral vision.
Qing Shang used all her strength to fight fiercely against the giant python phantasm aspect.
The strength of the Celestial State peak stage cultivator’s giant python aspect was naturally superior to Qing Shang’s. However, when the gray snake’s main body fought fiercely with Qing Gu, the giant python phantasm aspect was inevitably slowly a bit. Qing Shang barely survived until now because of that.
However, Qing Shang had already realized the gap in strength between them in just a few exchanges. Her thoughts to take revenge for Qing Songzi weakened slightly. She started to regret not listening to Qing Gu’s words earlier and miss the best escape opportunity.
At this moment, Qing Gu naturally noticed that the woman in a gray robe transfigured into her true form. As a terrifying aura swept over, the idea of running away immediately grew stronger.
The thoughts in Qing Gu’s mind raced quickly. Qing Gu shouted and pointed. The red sword stopped in front of him, released immense light, and turned into a 300 meters giant red sword.
At the same time, a giant red phantasm aspect appeared behind.
The giant phantasm aspect held the sword hilt with both hands, and the giant red sword enlarged. The red sword turned into a red light as the giant phantasm aspect slashed at the head of the giant python beastkin.
As soon as the giant phantasm aspect launched an attack, Qing Gu tapped his feed and retreated swiftly. At the same time, he sent out a voice transmission with his lips moving.
On the other side, Qing Shang suddenly heard Qing Gu’s voice. Her pretty face changed, then she launched several symbols in a row. The giant white umbrella and silver ring flying in mid-air shone brightly, blocking the giant python phantasm aspect’s attack, then she turned into a white escape light and flew away.
Seeing Qing Shang running away, the giant python phantasm aspect’s eyes were overflowing with killing intent. It let out a hissing sound, opened its mouth, flattened its stomach, and released an overwhelming suction force.
Just as Qing Shang flew for a short distance, her body tightened suddenly. Her escape light was stopped abruptly.
The gravel and clods on the surrounding ground flew up one after another into the mouth of the giant python. Qing Shang’s body shook, and she was about to be sucked into the mouth too.
She was astounded. With a loud shout, her body radiated white light. A white-robed woman phantasm aspect about 180 meters in size appeared above her head.
It was a white-robed woman phantasm aspect holding a huge white umbrella and stepping on a white jade disc. It looked very graceful.
The phantasm aspect waved its hand. The giant umbrella opened and spun into a white hurricane, resisting the heavy suction force.
Qing Shang immediately felt her body lighten.
After breathing a sigh of relief, she waved her hand. The giant white umbrella flashed with white light.
In an instant, dense white air flows shot toward the giant gray python aspect like a storm.
The mouth of the giant python phantasm aspect continued to emit suction. The giant snake tail swung forward with a series of afterimages and crushing the white air flows.
They were at a stalemate again!
Qing Shang tried her best to activate the phantasm aspect’s power. Unfortunately, her phantasm aspect seemed inferior in offense, so she couldn’t flee from the giant python phantasm aspect.
On the other battlefield, the giant red phantasm aspect of Qing Gu slashed at the gray python.
However, the giant gray python didn’t dodge at all. A light flashed on the snake’s body, and a layer of viscous gray light appeared.
There was a loud noise!
The gray light on the surface of the giant python shone brightly, deflecting the red sword.
Qing Gu took advantage of this opening to fly 900 meters away. He was shocked when he saw the situation.
However, Qing Gu didn’t expect the attack to cause much damage to the gray python. While retreating, he controlled the giant phantasm aspect to entangle the giant gray python.
A cold light flashed in the giant gray python’s eyes. Its giant body blurred and instantly turned into a black phantom. It quickly coiled around the red giant’s phantasm aspect a few times, entwining it tightly.
Then, the giant python bit the giant red sword.
The ink-like liquid, that emerged from the python’s fangs, was corroding the giant red sword.
The red light on the surface of the giant red sword immediately diminished. The red sword light quickly dissipated. Finally, the body of the red sword was exposed.
The gray python spewed black liquid to wrap the giant red sword. The red spiritual light flickered a few times before dissipating completely. The giant red sword fell to the ground. It was pitted and entirely lost its spirituality.
Qing Gu spat out a mouthful of blood. This red sword was his main magic weapon. Now that it was destroyed, considerable damage recoiled to his body.
Qing Gu’s face turned gloomy. He stopped running away. The giant python had entangled his phantasm aspect. If he escaped and the phantasm aspect was destroyed, his cultivation would drop significantly. He might even fall below the Celestial State.
The giant gray python destroyed the great red sword, showing a hint of smugness in its eyes. The thick snake’s body slowly tightened, wanting to destroy Qing Gu’s phantasm aspect.
The red giant phantasm aspect let out bursts of roars while struggling hard, but it still couldn’t break free.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the giant gray python. A layer of black light appeared on its body surface, and it was about to destroy the giant red phantasm aspect in one go.
At this moment, a layer of yellow light appeared on the ground under the giant python’s body. Then, the originally solid ground turned into a yellow liquid, and the giant gray python’s body suddenly sank.
