All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 155 First Battle Against a Second-Tier Gu Master, Captain Han Wending (Supplementary Chapter)
"That is."

Zhou Qing, carrying Lu Yan, used the Lightning Speed ​​Step to its fullest extent, and his speed did not slow down.

As for Han Qingqing, the small blue flag she held in her hand constantly released whirlwinds that clung to her feet, making her speed not only no slower than Zhou Qing's, but even faster.

Boom boom boom!
However, a huge black shadow emerging from the distant firelight was rapidly approaching him.

It was a huge brown bear covered in long fur, over ten feet tall, and its legs slammed into the ground with astonishing speed.

Each step produced a booming sound, like a heavy hammer striking the ground.

In a daze, Zhou Qing felt that the other person seemed to be using footwork when running.

Faced with the soldiers launching a suicide attack, his long brown hair stood on end, densely packed, like a giant hedgehog.

Lightning and flames exploded at close range around him, causing no damage to his body except for burning and cracking some of his long hair.

"A second-tier melee Gu Master?!" Zhou Qing gasped in shock at the opponent's terrifying defensive power.

Even if he merged with the Corpse Worm King and gained the Vajra Body, he still wouldn't be able to rampage through such an explosion.

boom!
As the last burst of flame rose into the sky, all the accompanying soldiers perished.

Seeing the Gu Master, who had transformed into a brown bear, closing the distance, Han Qingqing pressed her tongue and spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the small blue flag in her hand.

"Roar~!"

The next moment, a dragon's roar resounded from the small blue flag, and a bright blue light shone forth, growing dozens of times larger in the wind. Finally, it transformed into a blue dragon more than three zhang long at Han Qingqing's feet.

The azure dragon looks incredibly lifelike, with the texture of each scale clearly visible.

Whoosh!
Although the Azure Dragon lacked the ability to fly, its speed on the ground was several steps faster than Han Qingqing and Zhou Qing's movements.

Han Qingqing stepped on the head of the Azure Dragon, instantly creating a distance of several feet between herself and Zhou Qing.

Her face was pale, and she seemed to have not fully mastered the Azure Dragon's abilities, so her pretty face showed an anxious expression as she shouted at Zhou Qing behind her.

"Come up quickly!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing immediately sped up, grabbed Lu Yan, jumped onto the Azure Dragon's back, and then put Lu Yan down.

"So fast! A divine weapon capable of transforming into a beast form can probably only be a true second-tier divine weapon!"

At this moment, Zhou Qing looked behind him and saw that the large brown bear, which had been rapidly approaching, was gradually being pushed back.

However, the azure dragon's exaggerated speed did not last long, and it slowed down after a short while.

Standing on the head of the Azure Dragon, Han Qingqing's delicate body trembled, and she almost fell off.

Bang!
The next moment, the azure dragon beneath their feet disintegrated, turning into specks of azure light.

The small blue flag, which had been radiating divine light, instantly dimmed.

The three of them stumbled, and if Zhou Qing hadn't been holding one in each arm, Han Qingqing and Lu Yan would have crashed headfirst into the tree trunk opposite them.

After Zhou Qing helped Han Qingqing steady herself, she noticed that Han Qingqing's face was almost bloodless, frighteningly pale.

She took out a jade bottle from her bosom and poured all the pills inside into her mouth, only then did a little color return to her face.

Because of this delay, the large brown bear behind them had already appeared two hundred meters away. It uprooted a tree that was as thick as two people could hug and hurled it like a javelin in the direction of the three of them.

Whoosh!
The giant tree roared in, its terrifying force compressing the air and creating a series of explosive sounds.

Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened, and he pushed Han Qingqing and Lu Yan aside. As he flipped his wrist, a strangely shaped curved knife appeared. The knife was about two feet long, and the blade had a distinct curve, like a crescent moon.

bass!
The Heavenly Centipede Blade blazed with crimson light as Zhou Qing unleashed a powerful strike. A three-foot-long arc of blade energy shot out, striking the center of the tree and cleaving it in two.

However, the tree, now cut in two, continued its rapid advance towards Zhou Qing at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing that there was no time to strike again, Zhou Qing sheathed the Heavenly Centipede Blade. His true energy and blood flowed into his palms at the same time, causing the muscles in his arms to swell and bulge. His originally slender hands became as hard as refined iron, swelling up to twice their size. With a powerful strike, Zhou Qing struck the two tree trunks.

clang! !

A tremendous roar resounded, and the two tree trunks exploded, turning into a shower of wood chips. However, Zhou Qing was also forced back several steps by the powerful recoil, his chest heaving and blood gushing out, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Crack, crackle!

At this moment, Zhou Qing's joints and bones made popping sounds like popping beans, dissipating the opponent's remaining strength.

His physique also changed at this moment.

"What terrifying power! This is a second-tier Gu Master?!" Zhou Qing's eyes were solemn. He knew he was no match for this second-tier Gu Master and could only fight with his Wood Spirit Corpse.

click!
With a slight sound, a crack appeared on Zhou Qing's monkey mask, which quickly spread upwards and downwards, eventually breaking in two and falling to the ground.

The second-tier Gu Master opposite him, who had transformed into a giant brown bear, showed a look of astonishment. He hadn't expected Zhou Qing to be able to withstand the attack with his physical strength. He immediately picked up a boulder and threw it at Zhou Qing.

"Miss Han! You take Brother Lu and go first! I'll hold this man off for a moment!"

Zhou Qing addressed Lu Yan and Han Qingqing behind him, and, wielding the Heavenly Centipede Blade, faced the boulder.

"You are... Brother Aqing?!" Lu Yan looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but show surprise.

He never expected that the mysterious martial artist who saved him like a divine intervention tonight was actually A Qing, a silkworm farmer from Black Mountain Town.

"Zhou Qing?!" Han Qingqing was also shocked, but in this life-or-death situation, she quickly came to her senses.

"Cousin! Hurry! Father saw the signal flare we sent and should be here soon. Let him come and save him!"

"But what about Brother Aqing?" Lu Yan asked, his face showing reluctance.

"We're both seriously injured, staying here will only hold us back! He's risking his life to buy us time!" Han Qingqing shouted.

Lu Yan gritted his teeth, raised the golden mirror in his hand, and shot out a beam of golden light that entered Zhou Qing's body in front of him. Only then did he follow Han Qingqing and flee westward.

Whoosh!
With the golden light enhancing him, Zhou Qing's speed instantly increased by a level. After shattering the boulder with the Heavenly Centipede Blade, he continuously released blade energy to attack the Gu Master who had transformed into a giant brown bear.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Although the brown bear's fur was as hard as metal, it could not completely ignore Zhou Qing's attack when faced with highly condensed sword energy.

After all, although he was only a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, he consumed genuine true essence when he released his sword energy.

The large brown bear swung its paws, shattering the blade energy released by Zhou Qing one by one.

At this moment, Zhou Qing discovered that although the brown bear was extremely fast in a straight line, it was not fast when turning because of its large size and enormous weight.

He used his agility to dodge and harass the opponent from a distance with the Heavenly Centipede Blade. Although he could not cause any real damage, he slowed down the opponent's movements.

"Roar~!"

Seeing that Zhou Qing was as annoying as a fly, impossible to hit or drive away, the big brown bear roared and then spoke in human language.

"Martial artist of the Great Jin! I will tear you to pieces!"

The other person spoke the Da Jin language very fluently.

Whoosh whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the brown bear's fur stood on end again, shooting out like steel needles.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing dared not take the attack head-on and quickly retreated.

However, just as he gave up the opportunity, he thought the Gu Master, who had transformed into a giant brown bear, would continue to attack, but unexpectedly, the opponent ran straight west, choosing to chase after Han Qingqing and Lu Yan.

Clearly, in his view, Han Qingqing and Lu Yan were far more important than Zhou Qing. His anger just now was actually a trick to deceive Zhou Qing, making him think that he was going to go all out.

"This..." Zhou Qing stared at the large brown bear that quickly disappeared into the forest, his eyes shifting. He had thought it would be a bloody battle, but he hadn't expected that the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

This time, he repaid Lu Yan double for the 'evil-suppressing talisman' he had given him before.

As for whether the two can escape, that's up to fate.

He has done his best.

boom--! !

Just as Zhou Qing was about to leave, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction where the brown bear had disappeared. A gust of wind swept in from afar, rustling the bushes around Zhou Qing and causing his tattered clothes to cling to his body.

"Roar~!"

A furious roar rang out, and the once-aggressive brown bear fled back in a sorry state, its two thick arms now twisted and deformed, a bloody mess.

He didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Qing standing on the tree trunk and fled straight back the way he came.

In just a few breaths, a warrior who was over two meters tall, wearing black armor that covered his entire body and only revealed his eyes, flew over.

He also carried a three-meter-long, wide black mace on his shoulder.

You don't even need to look at the sharp spikes on it; just its size tells you what it means to be hit by one.

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the newcomer, Zhou Qing bowed respectfully to him from afar.

The black-armored warrior first chased after the injured Gu Master for a distance, but soon returned the way he came.

"That old guy was quick to run!"

The black-armored warrior's voice was deep and resonant, full of energy. He put away the spiked club he was carrying on his shoulder, came to Zhou Qing, and took off his face armor. The face he revealed was quite handsome, and he looked to be under forty years old, which was completely inconsistent with his physique and temperament.

"Are you Zhou Qing?"

The black-armored warrior sized up Zhou Qing.

"I am Zhou Qing. Greetings, sir." Zhou Qing looked at the waist badge hanging on the black-armored warrior's waist and knew that the other party was at least a military officer of the rank of lieutenant general or above.

"Thank you so much, young hero, for your chivalrous act of saving my daughter Qingqing's life! Please accept my deepest gratitude."

The black-armored warrior suddenly gave Zhou Qing a deep bow.

"You flatter me, sir." Zhou Qing quickly stepped forward to help him up.

The black-armored warrior grabbed Zhou Qing's wrist with his other hand.

Zhou Qing immediately felt a terrifying surge of blood energy and true essence.

This black-armored warrior is definitely a strongman above the Qi and Blood Thin Veil Realm.

"I am Han Wending, the Commandant of Nanli County. This is not the place to talk. Young hero, why don't you come back to camp with me first?" The black-armored warrior released Zhou Qing's wrist and smiled.

"Then I shall accept your offer without hesitation," Zhou Qing said, clasping his hands in greeting. Following such a powerful expert who was kind to him meant he could leave this place safely.

The Commandant of Nanli County, the military commander of the entire county, was a truly important figure.

Zhou Qing knew that Han Qingqing and Lu Yan had powerful backgrounds, but he didn't expect them to be this powerful.

"Young hero, please!" Han Wending smiled and extended his hand.

"Please go first, Lord Han," Zhou Qing said respectfully.

The two walked one after the other toward the edge of the Qilian Mountains. Halfway there, they encountered more than a dozen warriors also dressed in black armor.

Each of them possessed powerful qi and blood; even the weakest among them was a martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a prefecture city.

"See my lord!"

A dozen or so black-armored warriors bowed in unison. One of them stepped forward and respectfully said:
"My lord, the barbarians in the vicinity have been wiped out. Please give your instructions."

"Let's go back to camp first." Han Wending nodded slightly and led Zhou Qing westward.

When they arrived at a valley on the outskirts of the Qilian Mountains, Zhou Qing found that there were thousands of soldiers stationed in the valley, all of them wearing standard black armor.

Although their armor was not as fine as that of Han Wending and others, it was still far superior to ordinary armor.
