204: Chapter 204 Blue and Purple Thunder

With a single point from Chen Changqing's finger, hundreds of Azure Thunders instantly left his fingertip.

Boom!

A large number of Gu insects were slaughtered by this strike.

Countless corpses of Gu insects drifted down from mid-air.

The masked woman and the White-haired Elder were horrified in their hearts; they had not expected that a casual move on their part would provoke such a god of slaughter.

Chen Changqing continuously cast Azure Thunders, and as every streak of Azure Thunder swept past, it took away the lives of quite a few Gu insects.

Just as Chen Changqing wanted to execute the two of them, a figure from behind rapidly fled toward him.

Seeing Chen Changqing, that person hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist, save me."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing turned his head to look. A middle-aged man wearing the attire of Biluo Palace was heading toward his direction, and behind him, two Purple Palace Cultivators were in hot pursuit.

"Fellow Daoist, save me." Worried that Chen Changqing wouldn't dare to step in and rescue him, the middle-aged man shouted once more.

The two people in the rear smiled disdainfully, and the burly Scarface raised his blade to hack downwards, attempting to split the middle-aged man in half.

Turning his head to look, the middle-aged man panicked and took out a shield to block it, but the strike executed by the burly Scarface possessed immense power, directly hacking him flying.

Behind Scarface, the Purple-robed man also followed up with an attack. Streaks of purple lightning burst forth from his palms, assaulting the middle-aged man.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to be killed by the joint attack of the two, Chen Changqing immediately abandoned the previously targeted masked woman and White-haired Elder, striking out with a palm—the Qingxuan Exorcism Palm.

A gigantic azure palm emerged across the void, confronting those bolts of purple lightning in mid-air.

Boom, boom, boom!

A massive amount of purple lightning slammed into the gigantic azure palm, shattering it into fragments.

Chen Changqing was surprised; as expected of true lightning arts, its power was indeed much stronger than the Azure Thunder he cast.

The Purple-robed man and Scarface looked at Chen Changqing. Unlike the bantering gaze of Scarface, the Purple-robed man had been calm from beginning to end.

Taking advantage of the stalemate between both sides, the middle-aged man immediately arrived by Chen Changqing's side. He let out a long sigh of relief; fortunately, Chen Changqing had stepped in to save him, otherwise he would have been dead for sure just now.

"Fellow Daoist, can you still fight?" Chen Changqing glanced at the middle-aged man and asked.

"I can." The middle-aged man nodded, and then he conjured his shield.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing said no more and joined forces with the middle-aged man to deal with the two people before them.

On the other side, Dong Tianheng was fighting five Purple Palace Cultivators all by himself.

Even among those at the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion, his cultivation realm belonged to an extremely powerful tier, so even with the five opponents joining forces, they were unable to suppress him in a short period of time.

A chaotic battle involving over a hundred Purple Palace Cultivators turned this place into an area where Foundation Establishment Cultivators dared not approach casually.

The Cultivators from Yan Country inched their way toward Jizhou City, while the Cultivators from the other three states were responsible for intercepting them.

The fighting over at Jizhou City was also intensely fierce; the Cultivators of Biluo Palace led everyone in opening the Formation to forcibly engage the enemy in battle, sharing the pressure on Chen Changqing and the others.

"Fellow Daoist, shall we fight while retreating?" The middle-aged man reminded. Seeing the Battle Intent burning in Chen Changqing's eyes, he was somewhat worried that Chen Changqing had forgotten where this place was.

Chen Changqing nodded, gently raised his finger, and hundreds of Azure Thunders were cast.

Opposite him, the Purple-robed man also made a move. Unlike Chen Changqing's Azure Thunder, his purple thunders entwined together, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a fist assaulted Chen Changqing.

Rumble!

The purple lightning instantly defeated Chen Changqing's hundreds of Azure Thunders and headed straight for Chen Changqing's forehead.

Chen Changqing raised his hand, struck out with a palm—the Qingxuan Exorcism Palm—and simultaneously conjured the yuxu sword.

While that bolt of purple lightning collided with the gigantic azure palm, the yuxu sword bypassed it and attacked the Purple-robed Cultivator. Just as the Purple-robed Cultivator was about to act, Scarface appeared from the side and cleaved the yuxu sword away with a single slash.

Immediately following that, Scarface drove that broadsword to slash at Chen Changqing. The middle-aged man also acted at this moment, placing the blue shield horizontally before the two of them to block this strike.

Chen Changqing seized the right moment to act, conjuring several Tier 3 Karmic Fire Burning Heaven Talismans. Instantly, the ultimate power of karmic fire burned the Void Realm, spreading continuously toward the opponents.

Seeing this scene, both the Purple-robed man and the burly Scarface were shocked in their hearts and hurriedly dodged away.

Several silvery-white flying daggers floated out from the middle-aged man's Storage Pouch; he conjured them and slashed toward the burly Scarface.

Chen Changqing's target was the Purple-robed man. He gently raised his finger toward the direction the latter was fleeing, and hundreds of Azure Thunders burst forth, blocking the Purple-robed man's retreat.

Seeing this, the Purple-robed man felt anxious in his heart. At his waist, a purple jade pendant suddenly erupted, opening a protective barrier about three zhang wide.

At that very moment, the power of karmic fire and the three hundred and sixty Azure Thunders struck him precisely.

After a while, once the smoke and mist dissipated, the Purple-robed man was no longer in his original spot.

Chen Changqing frowned. Suddenly, not far behind him, the Purple-robed man appeared and struck at his back with a Palm Thunder technique.

Alarm bells rang loudly in his heart; he hurriedly dodged and spun around with a palm strike—the Qingxuan Exorcism Palm.

In the clash of palms, Chen Changqing was blasted flying dozens of zhang.

Chen Changqing hurriedly manipulated his Dharma power to steady his figure. Watching the Purple-robed man killing towards him, he hurriedly cast three hundred and sixty Azure Thunders.

Before him, the Purple-robed man likewise cast purple thunders.

The azure and purple thunders intersected in mid-air, colliding incessantly.

Although the power of Azure Thunder could not match that of the purple thunder, Azure Thunder relied on its sheer quantity to stubbornly fight to a standstill.

Back when Chen Changqing had not yet reached the Zifu Stage, three hundred Azure Thunders could already produce destructive power equivalent to the first layer of the Purple Mansion. But now, not only had his cultivation broken through to the first layer of the Purple Mansion, but the number of Azure Thunders he cast was also greater than before; the destructive power alone was enough to reach the fourth layer of the Purple Mansion.

As for his opponent, even though the Purple-robed man's cultivation was only at the third layer of the Purple Mansion, relying on the power of his lightning arts, he was stubbornly stronger by a fraction than the strength Chen Changqing displayed. This was enough to show the might of lightning arts.

Of course, the opponent being stronger than him was only on the surface. It was impossible for Chen Changqing to unleash his full strength right from the start; even fighting up to this point, he had not even brought out half of his combat power, because here, the Purple Palace Cultivators of Yan Country were far fewer than the opposing side.

If he went all out, it would inevitably attract more Purple Palace Cultivators to jointly surround and kill him.

After all, just on this battlefield alone, he had already fought with no less than five Purple Mansion Cultivators by himself.

Seeing that he still could not take down his opponent, the Purple-robed man felt somewhat incredulous in his heart. Clearly, the other party's cultivation was two layers lower than his own, yet fighting up to this point, he had at most gained a slight advantage.

Could it be that when the other party broke through to the Purple Mansion, the quality of their Purple Mansion reached the top grade?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

A top-grade Purple Mansion required expanding the Purple Mansion to over three zhang. In their State of Wei, only Master Qingfeng had achieved this level, and in Yan Country, those who could reach this level could be counted on one's fingers.

Before the war started, they had already gathered intelligence: it was impossible for Yan Country to suddenly conjure out of nowhere a new Purple Palace Cultivator whose Purple Mansion quality reached the top grade.

Of course, it was also not ruled out that the other party cultivated some kind of Cultivation Technique. After all, a Cultivator's combat power was composed of many factors; it could be the Cultivation Technique, the quality of the Purple Mansion, or Formations, Talismans, and so on.

Previously, this person had already produced Talismans; perhaps this was one of the reasons why the other party could go toe-to-toe with him.
