159: Chapter 159 Battle of the Purple Mansion

Chen Changqing waved his hand and explained, "Tenth Uncle, I won't take risks. Once there is danger, I still have several escape talismans in my hands."

Hearing this, Chen Yuanwen had no choice but to nod. The current Chen family actually had nothing they could do to help Chen Changqing; he could only rely on himself.

"Alright, I know. Be careful. You must escape the moment trouble arises, even if Qingyang Mountain is destroyed, you must escape." Chen Yuanwen looked at Chen Changqing with a solemn expression.

Chen Changqing nodded, first instructed some matters, and then set off for the Zhao family's Baiyun Mountain.

...

An hour later, Chen Changqing finally arrived at Baiyun Mountain.

Baiyun Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist with shimmering ripples. Chen Changqing extended his Divine Sense, directly covering the entire Baiyun Mountain.

"Hmm?"

Within the detection range of his Divine Sense, the entire Zhao family was enveloped by this mist. His Divine Sense could not penetrate this layer of fog, so he had no idea what was happening inside at all.

"What is this Zhao family up to again?" Chen Changqing frowned and muttered to himself.

He circled the entire Baiyun Mountain, trying to find the weakness of this Formation to see if he could directly open a gap to enter.

After searching for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he finally found a relatively weak spot.

He lifted a finger and tapped lightly, and one hundred and eight bolts of Azure Thunder instantly burst from his fingertips, blasting a passage through the white fog before him.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing hurriedly passed through. This strike could only maintain the passage for a few breaths of time.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived on the opposite side of the Formation. Looking at the empty Baiyun Mountain, his heart skipped a beat; the Zhao family had actually left.

No, suddenly an aura emanated from the hinterland of Baiyun Mountain.

That is?

Chen Changqing was shocked; this aura was extremely powerful.

"Hmm?"

When that aura swept across the entire Baiyun Mountain, a surprised sound rang out.

It was not that the other party had discovered Chen Changqing, but rather that they felt a sense of abnormality.

Zhao Tiangang finished Cultivating and walked out from the hinterland of Baiyun Mountain.

Behind him, countless withered corpses were casually discarded on the ground.

Among those withered corpses, it was not hard to see that most of them were Cultivators of the Zhao family, and among them, some Cultivators did not dress like the Zhao family, looking more like some Loose Cultivators.

"Now that the Zhao family has been almost absorbed by me, next is to go to the Chen family, and then to the Li family, to absorb all the Cultivators of these two families cleanly. My own cultivation will also have a Breakthrough to the third layer of the Purple Mansion."

A crazy look appeared on Zhao Tiangang's face.

After that aura swept past him just now, Chen Changqing hurriedly hid himself.

Fortunately, his Divine Soul strength reached the third layer of the Purple Mansion. Relying on the Breath-Hiding Technique, he completely suppressed his aura, thus avoiding discovery.

However, when he looked at Zhao Tiangang, his expression was somewhat solemn. This Zhao Tiangang had actually achieved a Breakthrough to the second layer of the Purple Mansion in such a short time.

And what did he just say about absorbing the Zhao family?

And going to absorb the Chen and Li families?

Could the other party be Cultivating some evil Cultivation Technique?!

No wonder he had sensed a vague presence of resentment filling the entire Baiyun Mountain just now.

Chen Changqing's gaze towards Zhao Tiangang at this moment no longer had the previous calmness, but was instead filled with a chilling coldness.

Originally he only came to gather information, but since this Zhao Tiangang actually set his sights on the Chen family, he absolutely could not be left alive.

Just as Zhao Tiangang withdrew the Formation, Chen Changqing closely followed his pace. The two of them, one after the other, left Baiyun Mountain.

After the two traveled hundreds of li, Zhao Tiangang suddenly turned and headed towards the Wanshou Mountain Range.

Chen Changqing was puzzled, but without thinking, he followed him. He must kill this Zhao Tiangang today; otherwise, once he was let go, the Chen family would be in trouble next time.

After another hour of flying, the two finally arrived at a relatively secluded area of the Wanshou Mountain Range. Apart from some Tier 1 and Tier 2 Monster Beasts, there was nothing else here, and even the Human Race rarely set foot in this place.

"Fellow Daoist, why have you followed me all the way? Why don't you reveal yourself quickly?" Zhao Tiangang looked back, his tone icy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, trust you have been well since we last met." Chen Changqing walked out. He had disguised his appearance beforehand, and coupled with the Breath-Hiding Technique, the other party definitely could not recognize him.

Sure enough, a trace of doubt flashed across Zhao Tiangang's eyes, and he immediately questioned, "Who are you?"

'Zhao Tiangang' could not recognize the other party, and a different guess arose in his heart. Could the other party be an enemy of Zhao Tiangang?

"You don't need to know. You only need to know that you will die today," Chen Changqing said in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe! I don't care who you are. Wanting to kill me, Zhao, is probably not that simple."

'Zhao Tiangang' laughed. Although he did not know how the other party suppressed their aura to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it didn't matter. Although this body's current cultivation had only reached the second layer of the Purple Mansion, relying on his experience of Cultivating in two lifetimes, he really wasn't worried.

After all, before his Possession, the original owner of this body was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even if the other party had enemies and had entered the Purple Mansion Stage, it would be at most the first layer of the Purple Mansion.

Just as he was still deep in thought, Chen Changqing immediately made his move. One hundred and eight bolts of Azure Thunder instantly burst forth, arriving before Zhao Tiangang's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Zhao Tiangang wore a look of disdain. Just this?

He had thought that since the other party dared to come seeking revenge, they must be very strong, but it turned out to be only this level of attack.

However, this kind of attack made him think of a certain person—that brat surnamed Chen.

He still knew a little bit of news about Chen Changqing. More than a dozen years ago, that Chen brat had once released this kind of Azure Thunder to defeat a Foundation Establishment Stage 9th Layer Perfection Cultivator.

It's just that he wasn't too sure, because there were quite a few people in the entire Yan Country Cultivating the Evergreen Art, among whom there were some Cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even Purple Mansion Cultivators who also Cultivated this Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique was not very difficult, and its progression was stable, except that its combat power was relatively weak. Generally, Purple Mansion Cultivators who Cultivated this Cultivation Technique could condense at least over two hundred bolts of Azure Thunder.

Yet the person before him casually unleashed over a hundred bolts of Azure Thunder, and the power was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage 4th Layer. This made him somewhat suspicious of the identity of the person before him.

With a casual wave of his hand, he shattered the one hundred and eight bolts of Azure Thunder and probed, "Are you that brat from the Chen family?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Changqing's eyes, followed by a sneer: "So what if I am? So what if I'm not? You will definitely die today."

He lifted a finger and tapped lightly. This time, one hundred and eighty bolts of Azure Thunder instantly burst forth, far exceeding the previous power. That move just now was merely a probe.

Seeing more Azure Thunder than before, and seeing the trace of doubt flash through Chen Changqing's eyes, Zhao Tiangang became convinced in his heart that the person before him was not that Chen brat.

However, regardless of whether the other party was that Chen brat or not, it didn't matter. Anyway, with just this kind of strength, who would live and who would die today was clear at a glance.

Facing a full-strength blow of as many as one hundred and eighty bolts equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage 4th Layer, he was much more cautious this time.

He sacrificed a set of Tier 2 Top-grade Magical Artifact, the Hexagonal Tortoise Shell Shield. Under the augmentation of his magical power, this set of defensive Magical Artifact faintly possessed the strength of a Tier 3 Magical Artifact.

Boom!

The twelve Hexagonal Tortoise Shell Shields easily blocked this attack, while their exteriors only had some dents.

Chen Changqing's eyes were filled with surprise. As expected, even if the other party didn't have a Tier 3 Magical Artifact, they could block his attack with just a Tier 2 Top-grade Magical Artifact.

Of course, this set of Magical Artifact was composed of twelve Tier 2 Top-grade defensive Magical Artifacts. In terms of power, although it couldn't compare to a true Tier 3 Magical Artifact, it wasn't too far off.
