There were only two people left in the arena, standing opposite each other.

Gongsun Qi’s expression became serious as he took out the Divine Slaughter Sword that he relied on to become famous. A cold aura spread out, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped a range of several kilometers.

Just the aura alone was enough to cause one to feel a chill. This was the power of a Dao Artifact.

“Where are your two Dao Artifacts? Why haven’t you taken them out yet?” Gongsun Qi frowned slightly when he saw Li Qing standing there motionlessly.

In his impression, Li Qing’s own strength was not very strong. The reason why he was able to contend against Void Realm experts was definitely because of the power of Dao Artifacts.

Li Qing shook his head and laughed, “I don’t need a Dao Artifact to deal with you. One hand is enough.”

“Arrogant!” The Slaughter God Sword’s expression darkened. “Without relying on the power of the Dao Artifact, why would you fight me?”

“Aren’t you going to know just by giving it a try?”

“Since you want to die, then I will grant you!” Gongsun Qi stabbed out without hesitation.

A grand sword Qi slashed towards him. The resplendent sword light tore through the heavens and earth, as if it wanted to slaughter all living beings in the world.

Just the killing intent was enough to make the world bleak. The surrounding trees all withered and turned into powder.

“The power is still so strong. I was injured by this sword a few years ago, but now the situation is different!” Li Qing stretched out his palm and pushed it horizontally.

A shadow of a gigantic palm that covered the sky and the sun appeared. The palm contained the power to open up heaven and earth, suppressing everything in the world and pushing the past, present, and future horizontally.

Extreme Emperor Splitting Heaven Palm!

“You actually dare to receive my God Slaying Sword with your bare hands? You’re simply courting death!” A stern look flashed across Gongsun Qi’s eyes.

Rumble!

The Divine Slaughter Sword collided violently with the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm, but the result was not as Gongsun Qi had expected. The power of the Emperor’s Extreme Splitting Heaven Palm surpassed his imagination, instantly suppressing and annihilating the Divine Slaughter Sword Qi, and then pushing it horizontally with an unstoppable momentum.

“Not good!” Gongsun Qi’s expression changed drastically. The power of this palm was too terrifying. It sealed the void and could not even escape, so it could only fight head-on.

“Destroy it!” His expression was ferocious as he raised his God Killing Sword high up in the air and used all of his strength to slash towards the giant palm.

Chi!

The Divine Slaughter Sword was a peerless Dao Artifact. Its level was too high, and it successfully broke through this palm strike.

However, Gongsun Qi was also struck by this force. He flew backwards and spat out a large mouthful of blood, smashing a small hill into pieces.

Li Qing retracted his palm and discovered that there was actually a scar between his palms. He could see the bones and the aura of the Divine Killing Sword flowing on it, making his Myriad Devil’s true body temporarily useless.

“The might of the Divine Slaughter Sword is indeed worthy of its reputation.” Li Qing whispered to himself.

“How is that possible? How could his palm be so powerful? Even the Divine Killing Sword is not his match!” Gongsun Qi’s face was filled with horror.

Li Qing smiled faintly and said, “The power of the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm is far beyond my imagination. I haven’t reached home yet. Otherwise, how could I give you a chance to hurt me?”

This move was one of the two supreme techniques of the Extreme Emperor. It was said to be on par with the Extreme Emperor Peerless Fist, and it could be said to be a manifestation of extreme strength.

Back then, when the Polarity Emperor was at the tenth level of the Innate Realm, he didn’t rely on any treasure weapons. He could kill Void Realm experts with just his own hands.

Although Li Qing had yet to cultivate this palm technique to a higher level, compared to the Polarity Emperor who relied solely on a pair of palms to beat the world, he possessed more complicated methods and seemed to be no weaker than the Polarity Emperor combined.

‘”Your strength has not improved at all. It’s too disappointing. Back then, I took out two Dao Artifacts to barely contend with you. However, now that you have the Dao Artifact Slaughter God Sword in your hand, you are no longer my opponent.”

“Why did it change so quickly?” Gongsun Qi was in a daze. Such a huge gap made him unable to accept it.

“As long as I kill you, I will still be number one on the Earth Rankings!” He gritted his teeth and said.

The two Void Realm experts in the sky landed on the ground and shouted, “Don’t be provoked by each other’s words! As the successor of the Divine Slaughter Sword, you must always remain calm and rational!”

“Elder, I… I just can’t accept it for a moment.” Gongsun Qi said bitterly.

“As a martial artist who cultivates the Dao of Killing, you absolutely cannot compete with others. Have you forgotten these rules?”

Gongsun Qi took a deep breath and bowed his head, “Thank you two elders for reminding me. I understand what you mean, and I won’t dwell on the outcome of this battle any longer.”

“Very good! After a hundred years, Li Qing will definitely turn into a pile of yellow soil, and you will be the mighty God of Slaughter!”

“Li Qing is doomed this time!” The two Sword Sect Void Realm experts said confidently.

Facing the encirclement of two Void Realm experts and more than a dozen peak Xiantian experts, if they were to be escaped by Li Qing like this, then they might as well kill him with a piece of tofu.

“You want to catch me? It’s still early.” Li Qing used the Devil Shadow Steps and transformed into an illusory figure. He walked in the void and floated like a ghost.

“This movement technique seems to be a bit strange.” The two Void Realm cultivators furrowed their brows. Using their divine sense to sweep past them, it was actually difficult to determine Li Qing’s location.

“Don’t let him escape. Set up the Endless Slaughter Array!”

The dozen or so Xiantian experts in the surroundings quickly moved and stood in a specific position. Then, each of them pulled out the iron swords behind them and activated the formations within them.

Rumble!

A gigantic gray formation was formed, and there were numerous strands of sword Qi inside, filled with the aura of endless slaughter.

Every strand of sword qi possessed extremely sharp killing intent. This was the power of fourteen peak Xiantian experts. Even if a Void Realm expert was trapped within it, it would not be easy to escape.

Sword Qi flashed densely in the void, interweaving like spider webs. Without a single gap, no matter how skilled Li Qing’s movement technique was, it was impossible for him to dodge. Soon, he was forced out of the shadows.

“Kill!” The third level Void Realm swordsman rushed over with an iron sword in his hand.

“Second floor of Primordial Emperor Occult, open!”

“Ancient divine transformation, open!”

Li Qing’s aura surged, and his combat strength instantly increased by four times. His entire body was forcefully pulled out to more than ten zhang, and golden scales grew on his body.

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face.

Swoosh!

The third level of the Void Realm slashed out with an unparalleled momentum, transforming into a grey, dark sword qi. The killing intent contained within it was shocking.

“What a sharp sword!” Li Qing’s expression was solemn, and his body emitted seven-colored light. This was an immortal robe formed from Eternal Immortal Gold.

With such a powerful defense, he was already in an invincible position.

He pushed out his palm and the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm appeared. The palm print was several times larger than before, welcoming the Void Realm Third Stage Sword Sect expert.

Rumble!

Terrifying waves of air shot out, destroying all the trees hundreds of feet in radius. Something shocking happened to Li Qing. The Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm was actually shattered by a single sword strike, and a long crack was torn open on the ground.

Fortunately, his palm was protected by the Eternal Immortal Cloak and he didn’t receive any injuries. However, under the impact of this sword strike, he also took a few steps back, his blood and qi surging in his chest.

“So strong!” Li Qing’s eyes were filled with disbelief. He had encountered many experts at the third level of the Void Realm, but none of them could compare to this old fellow in front of him.

This Sword Sect expert in front of him was simply the strongest Void Realm Third Layer expert he had ever seen. It was much more terrifying than Daoist Heavenly Wings and Daoist Heavenly Wings combined.

“The Sword Sect’s attack is known as the number one attack in the world. It is indeed worthy of its reputation! It seems that I have underestimated the martial artists of the Holy Land.” Li Qing knew that if he did not use a Dao Artifact, he would definitely not be a match for the other party.

Even with the opening of the second floor of the Primordial Emperor Occult, there was still a large gap.

The Sword Sect expert was blocked by the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm, his face slightly panting. Obviously, the battle just now was not as easy as he had imagined.

“This kid can fight me head on? How is that possible? Is he still a Xiantian expert?” He asked in shock.

The fourth level Void Realm cultivator also walked forward with a similarly surprised expression, “Your strength is enough to fight against the fourth level Void Realm cultivator without losing. You are actually unable to defeat him. It seems that we have underestimated Li Qing’s strength.”

Gongsun Qi stood behind him. Seeing this scene, his expression was very complicated. “Is this guy a freak who can draw with an elder? What a joke. I was just thinking of fighting him fairly.”

The fourth level Void Realm Sword Sect expert also took out an iron sword and said, “Let’s go together and capture Li Qing as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening. Although this is a bit suspicious of bullying the small by the big, we can’t care so much about it at this time.”

“Kill!”

The two Sword Sect Void Realm experts rushed forward, and the sword in their hands emitted a sharp killing intent, as if they wanted to annihilate all living beings in the world.

Li Qing took a deep breath and took out his Heavenly Saber with his right hand and the Yin Yang Grinding Plate with his left. Two Dao Weapons, one attacking and one defending, this was his strongest state.

Facing such a powerful enemy, he knew that he could no longer retain his strength.

“It won’t be that easy to catch me!” Li Qing’s eyes flashed with a harsh expression as he strode forward and slashed out with his saber.

Rumble!

The three of them clashed intensely. The heavens and the earth changed color. The sun and the moon did not shine. The aftermath of the battle directly caused the earth to crack apart, and large areas of forest fell, shattering tens of kilometers of mountains and rivers.

Li Qing fought with all his might against the two Void Realms of the Sword Sect. Every time he fought, he would be knocked out and smashed into the ground. Then, he would hit the sky from underground.

He was far from being an opponent of the Void Realm of the two Sword Sects. He was suppressed at a disadvantage, but he was able to resist stubbornly. This was mainly because his defensive power was simply too strong.

With his current state, he had a total of four layers of defense!

The first level was the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel. This Dao Artifact blocked most of the sword qi attacks.

The second floor was the Eternal Immortal Cloak, the third floor was the scales of the Ancient God Body, and the fourth floor was the precious armor he wore.

With so many defenses, coupled with his incomparably tyrannical physical body and Myriad Devil’s heaven-defying recovery ability, even if the opponent could repel Li Qing repeatedly, he would still be helpless for a moment.

Li Qing was like a hard rock that stood firm in the storm. He could occasionally launch a counterattack with his Heavenly Saber, causing the opponent to be in a state of chaos.

The battle lasted for several hours from morning to afternoon. Relying on his tyrannical strength, Li Qing rushed out of the encirclement of the Endless Slaughter Array and went all the way into the depths of the Wilderness.
