Yuexuan Realm, that’s all?

Facing Red-haired Old Ghost's strike, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others used their various methods to meet it together.

However.

What everyone didn't expect was that they had overestimated the power of their combined efforts.

And underestimated the strength of the Moon Profound Realm.

Just as their attacks and Red-haired Old Ghost's strike approached, they felt that the Moon Profound Realm was invincible.

It seemed that Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and Red-haired Old Ghost only had a single Realm difference, but this gap simply could not be bridged by relying on numbers.

This strike almost effortlessly shattered the attacks of Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others.

Fortunately, it also significantly weakened the strike's power.

But even so, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others were sent flying backward by the remaining force of the strike.

They all spat out fresh blood, crashing into the peak wall behind them, creating over a dozen large craters before finally falling to the ground.

"Hmph."

"How dare a speck of light contend with the bright moon."

In the sky, Red-haired Old Ghost's eyes flickered with disdain, "How dare a bunch of useless Disciples from your Immortal River Sect try to stop me? You're simply overestimating yourselves."

"I'll give you one last chance, hand over Zhong Qing."

"Red-haired Old Ghost, don't even think about it."

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others struggled to their feet from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he said, "A man fights for his breath, a tree for its bark. It's impossible to hand him over to you, and you won't be able to find Zhong Qing either."

"Good, good, good. Since you are so stubborn, then I will kill you first, then destroy the Immortal River Sect, and finally, slowly search for that Zhong Qing."

Red-haired Old Ghost's eyes flickered with rage.

The long blade in his hand was enveloped in Profound Qi, and the swirling black mist became extremely dense.

"Everyone, follow me and meet his next strike!"

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong stared solemnly at Red-haired Old Ghost in the sky, shouting loudly.

"Yes!"

The Elders of the various peaks stepped forward in unison, their faces all showing extreme seriousness.

Because it was clear that Red-haired Old Ghost's next strike would be even stronger than the previous one.

However.

Just as everyone was about to cast their spells, a figure suddenly appeared beside Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong.

"Everyone, I'll take this strike."

As the voice fell, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong quickly turned his head and found Zhong Qing, dressed in white, had appeared beside him at some unknown point.

"You, Zhong Qing, when did you arrive?"

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong asked in shock.

"As soon as I received the third Elder's message, I immediately rushed here."

Zhong Qing said gently.

"You!"

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong's face was filled with exasperation, and he shouted, "Didn't the message tell you to leave?"

"This was something I provoked myself, how could I possibly trouble you all to clean up my mess?" Zhong Qing smiled leisurely.

This was also the reason why he hadn't left the Immortal River Sect after his 'Trash' System was activated.

In the past, besides Duan Feng bullying him, the other Elders and Peak Masters hadn't done anything excessive to him, especially Peak Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, who often showed concern for him when he encountered him down the peak.

This Sect.

Even though it wasn't large and was only a second-rate Sect in the Eastern Domain.

He still had feelings for it.

Especially today's scene, which completely made Zhong Qing feel a sense of belonging.

"But, but he's a Moon Profound Realm cultivator, even with so many of us, we might not be able to stop him."

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong asked somewhat blankly, "How can you stop him alone?"

"Just a Moon Profound Realm, Sect Master, you worry too much."

"A, a Moon Profound Realm, that's all?"

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others stared blankly at Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing smiled faintly, walked out with his hands behind his back, and slowly looked up at the arrogant Red-haired Old Ghost in mid-air.

"Red-haired Old Ghost, I am Zhong Qing. It was I who killed your Disciple Blood Maniac."

"Don't you want to kill me? Bring out whatever methods you have as soon as possible."

Quietly looking at Red-haired Old Ghost, Zhong Qing said faintly.

"You are Zhong Qing?"

Red-haired Old Ghost stared intently at Zhong Qing. Seeing the murderer of his Disciple, Red-haired Old Ghost's entire face contorted, his scarlet pupils wide, breathing heavily.

"Good, good, good. Little beast, I never thought you'd dare to come out yourself."

"Then you shall be buried with my Disciple!!!"

In the sky, a fierce wind began to blow, and centered around Red-haired Old Ghost, a massive storm surged.

The storm and his own black mist intertwined, like the end of the world descending. Wherever it passed, whether it was buildings or rocks, everything was ground into powder.

And within the storm, various hideous human faces and monsters occasionally emerged, emitting chilling screams that made one's scalp tingle.

"So, so terrifying!"

Seeing this storm, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others felt their legs go weak.

Is this the true strength of a Moon Profound Realm cultivator?

Even if it were him, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, if he were caught in this storm, he would surely perish on the spot.

Involuntarily.

They looked at Zhong Qing in front.

How could he possibly stop it?!

In their shock, Red-haired Old Ghost moved.

Carrying the swirling storm, he heavily raised the long blade in his hand. The long blade, surrounded by various vengeful spirits and monsters, slashed directly towards Zhong Qing.

The blade struck.

The storm followed closely.

Overwhelming, with flying sand and rolling stones.

This strike carried all of Red-haired Old Ghost's fury.

However.

Facing this strike, Zhong Qing merely slowly raised his palm.

Then.

He extended a single finger.

And then gently pressed it towards Red-haired Old Ghost, who was engulfed in the storm.

In an instant.

The storm dissipated, and the vengeful spirits and monster phantoms vanished into nothingness.

"Wh-what?"

Red-haired Old Ghost's eyes widened, filled with terror.

The power contained in that single finger made him feel as if he were facing the entire world and was invincible. Even the long blade in his hand began to slowly vaporize.

"No, don't..."

And as that finger completely pressed down, accompanied by Red-haired Old Ghost's final incredulous cry, he and his blade were directly vaporized, turning into nothingness.

After a long, long time.

The combat energy spreading in the sky gradually subsided.

But.

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others behind Zhong Qing stood with their mouths agape, completely petrified, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

What did they just see?

The Moon Profound Realm Red-haired Old Ghost was actually crushed to death by Zhong Qing with a single finger?

Not even a single hair was left behind?

For a moment, everyone looked at Zhong Qing as if they had seen a ghost.

"You, you, you..."

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong even pointed at Zhong Qing, unable to speak for a long time.

And the Elders and Peak Masters behind him were no better off.

They had thought they had already sufficiently overestimated Zhong Qing, after all, Zhong Qing's age was right there, but they never expected that what Zhong Qing displayed repeatedly refreshed their understanding.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhong Qing couldn't help but rub his nose and smile apologetically.

"You brat, are you a human or a monster?" Finally, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, who had somewhat recovered, stared with wide eyes and said, "You've hidden it deep enough! You're clearly so powerful, yet you pretended to be a good-for-nothing before. You really are..."

"There's no other way, Sect Master."

Zhong Qing couldn't help but laugh, naturally unable to reveal the System's existence, so he prevaricated, "In this Immortal Realm, with all the scheming and deception, it's still necessary to be a little low-key and hide some of one's cultivation."
