All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 166 Divine Power Repels the Enemy! Each with Their Own Hidden agendas! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)

Without a second thought, Zhou Qing immediately put away the Wood Spirit Corpse and ran out of the valley.

However, before he had run very far, Mu Renjie suddenly disappeared from Hu Ying's sight.

"So fast!!"

Through the earth's energy, Zhou Qing sensed that Mu Renjie was approaching the peach blossom forest at a speed beyond his imagination.

"Damn it!"

As soon as Zhou Qing left the peach blossom grove, he ran into Mu Renjie.

"I've finally caught you!" Mu Renjie sneered and attacked Zhou Qing without saying a word. He stepped forward, and his white boots began to flicker with faint electricity.

Mu Renjie's speed suddenly increased, his body lunged forward, leaving a green afterimage in his place. He moved with incredible speed, as if he were teleporting, and his right palm slammed towards Zhou Qing!

Before the palm even arrived, a fierce and domineering palm wind, carrying a foul stench, rushed towards them, instantly generating powerful air pressure. A large amount of air was displaced, forming a violent air wave.

"So powerful!" Zhou Qing was greatly shocked.

However, he had prepared in advance, and although he was shocked by the thunderous palm strike, he did not panic.

Swish!
As true essence was poured into the body of the Corpse Worm Gu King, Zhou Qing's skin instantly turned golden yellow, and an extremely fierce aura rose up.

He spread his five fingers, and the icy energy of the coiling silk quickly condensed in his palm. The true essence of the green wood burst forth, and he unleashed a full-force palm strike.

Bang!
The two palms collided, and a dull thud exploded out, the air surging. Zhou Qing's expression changed drastically. The icy energy and green wood true essence in his palms were instantly shattered by this terrifying force, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

boom!
Zhou Qing's body crashed into a thick tree, snapping it in half. He was thrown more than ten meters before regaining his balance and landing on the ground.

"Too strong! Far beyond the ordinary Blood Exchange Realm! Completely different from the second-tier Gu Master we encountered before!"

Zhou Qing was shocked. His current strength was more than twice as strong as when he first went to the Qilian Mountains five months ago. At that time, he was confident that he could still hold his own against the second-level Gu Master of the Wuxi Barbarians.

Facing Mu Renjie at this moment, he couldn't even withstand a single blow.

If he hadn't used his divine power to protect his entire body, he would probably have been seriously injured by that palm strike.

"Good lad! You were hiding your strength so well?!" Mu Renjie was also surprised to see that Zhou Qing could still stand up after taking his full-force palm strike.

"Who exactly are you?" Zhou Qing feigned anger, his mind racing.

“Yuan’er died at your hands, it was truly not unjust.” Mu Renjie’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. “Release the Wood Spirit Corpse, otherwise you won’t be able to withstand my next move.”

"I don't understand what you're talking about?!" Zhou Qing continued to feign ignorance.

"Then go die!" Mu Renjie extended both hands from his sleeves at the same time. His originally large hands became withered and thin, the flesh shrunken, and the skin clung tightly to the bones, like the claws of a vengeful ghost.

He didn't give Zhou Qing any time to think at all; a pair of pitch-black claws pierced the air and ghostly grabbed at Zhou Qing's chest.

puff!
The sharp claws tore through the air, piercing Zhou Qing's heart, but only struck an afterimage.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Qing used his Lightning Speed ​​Steps to the fullest extent, his figure darting and dodging through the forest.

He didn't expect that Mu Renjie wouldn't even confirm whether the spirit corpse was on him.

Now, Zhou Qing no longer had any plans to use the Wood Spirit Corpse and the Ice Silkworm Gu to launch a sneak attack.

If they wait any longer, Mu Renjie will really take the bait.

"Buzz!"

Hundreds of ice silkworm worms emerged simultaneously, blocking Mu Renjie's path, and exhaled tangible cold air, forming a curtain of cold air.

Click, click, click!
But Mu Renjie's movements did not stop at all. His five sharp black claws pierced through the cold curtain in an instant. Among the hundreds of ice silkworm worms blocking his way, more than a dozen ice silkworm worms were torn to pieces by this one claw.

Whoosh!
The next moment, Mu Renjie's white boots flashed with faint electric light, and he once again passed through the defensive circle formed by the Ice Silkworm Gu worm as if he had teleported, his sharp claws grazing Zhou Qing's sideburns and brushing past his face.

A foul stench emanated from the pitch-black claws. Zhou Qing, despite holding his breath, still felt slightly dizzy and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Even his invulnerable body couldn't withstand this deadly poison. If he were injured even slightly, he would probably lose the ability to resist in an instant.

"The Wood Spirit Corpse! It really is in your hands!" Mu Renjie looked at the emerald green humanoid creature that appeared beside him, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

It turned out that Zhou Qing had just released the Wood Spirit Corpse, which struck Mu Renjie's wrist with a palm, causing Mu Renjie's claw to deviate.

"Die!" Mu Renjie seemed to have gone mad. His blood and qi were boiling intensely. Thick blood and qi gushed out from his skin and pores, finally turning into blood-red smoke that rose into the sky and gathered above his head, forming a blood-red mist that looked almost tangible.

boom!
In order to finish the battle quickly, Mu Renjie actually withstood a palm strike from the Wood Spirit Corpse by relying on his Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke, and then flew up and reached for Zhou Qing's heart with a claw.

clang!
At the critical moment, the mutated ice silkworm worm flew out and blocked the fatal blow.

click!
Even with the strength of the mutated ice silkworm worm, a crack appeared on its hard shell, and it was directly blasted away by a tremendous force.

After a brief delay, Zhou Qing flew towards the mountainside.

As he leaped onto the treetop, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and hurled it into the sky.

'Go find your senior sister!'

"Wow!"

The tiger eagle swooped down, extended its right claw, and firmly grasped the jade pendant before speeding off towards Black Mountain Town.

Zhou Qing wouldn't be foolish enough to fight Mu Renjie to the death, but this was indeed a golden opportunity.

If we could get Wei Hongyu to help us deal with Mu Renjie, we might be able to finish him off in one fell swoop.

Even if it fails, you can still protect yourself.

boom!
boom!
boom!
As Zhou Qing ran, he released his divine power to condense a palm print.

Although he lacked the divine power application techniques of an eighth-grade mountain god, his sheer numbers were enough to rival those of a typical Blood Exchange Realm Grand Martial Master. Coupled with the harassment from the Ice Silkworm Gu and the Supreme Wood Spirit Corpse, Mu Renjie couldn't catch up with him for the time being.

Soon, Zhou Qing was chased by Mu Renjie to the outside of the Wine Immortal Temple halfway up the mountain. Seeing the unyielding statue of the Wine Immortal in the temple, Zhou Qing had a sudden idea and immediately ran towards the temple.

'Soul Claw! '

Mu Renjie unleashed his full power, and a scarlet claw rose from the ground, leaving five trenches that extended for tens of meters before converging at the entrance of the Wine Immortal Temple.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the gate of the Wine Immortal Temple exploded, the walls collapsed, and the load-bearing beams and pillars were covered with cracks.

"This is the Realm of Qi and Blood Smoke?!" Zhou Qing was shocked and flew behind the statue of the Wine Immortal.

Seeing this terrifying attack that nearly knocked down the Wine Immortal Temple, he no longer had the slightest thought of competing with Mu Renjie.

However, outside the Wine Immortal Temple, after Mu Renjie unleashed this attack, the smoke of blood above his head noticeably thinned out.

Clearly, his injuries had not fully healed, and he could not continue using this technique.

"Kakaka!"

Mu Renjie leaped into the Wine Immortal Temple, about to make another move, when he suddenly discovered a layer of frost on his hands, and a bone-chilling coldness assaulted his skin.

He tried to expel the cold energy from his body with his true energy, but found that this cold energy was like a bone-deep ailment, extremely difficult to remove.

In the end, Mu Renjie had no choice but to use his qi and blood to wash away the coldness from his arms.

At this moment, he once again gathered a large amount of vital energy, preparing to unleash the 'Soul-Scattering Claw' to kill Zhou Qing before the Wood Spirit Corpse arrived.

"Outrageous! How dare you destroy my temple?!"

Just as the crimson claws materialized, a sound like thunder resounded throughout the temple.

"How dare you, a mere minor deity, play tricks here!" Mu Renjie sneered, and his blood claws suddenly attacked Zhou Qing behind the statue.

However, the next moment the statue of the Wine Immortal transformed into an angry Vajra, its body radiating golden light, and it actually condensed into a giant golden sword that was a full ten feet tall.

boom!
The giant sword descended from the sky and slashed down.

The violent sword energy tore through the blood claws, blasting Mu Renjie dozens of meters away.

puff!
"What?!" Blood gushed from Mu Renjie's mouth, his face turned an unusual crimson, and the blood-red smoke above his head quickly dissipated.

He stared intently at Zhou Qing behind the statue, then leaped down the mountain and fled into the distance.

At this moment, the golden light of the statue in the Wine Immortal Temple dimmed.

"This works?!" Zhou Qing looked surprised. He had just seen the Wine Immortal statue manifest and thought he could shift the blame and have the statue delay Mu Renjie, but he did not expect the statue to unleash such a powerful attack, directly repelling him.

"Thank you, Grand Marshal Wine Immortal! We can discuss the matter of sharing divine power again."

Zhou Qing flew down and respectfully bowed to the statue of the Wine Immortal, but there was no response.

Click, click, click!
On the contrary, a crisp sound came from the statue of the Wine God. Cracks appeared on the statue's outstretched right hand, and three fingers broke off inch by inch, leaving only the index and middle fingers sticking out.

Zhou Qing: "."

In a dense forest on the outskirts of Heishan Town.

An unremarkable middle-aged man in brocade robes appeared.

"Xiao Kang! How dare you break your promise! We agreed to attack together and deliver a thunderous blow to Zhou Qing, why didn't you arrive at the agreed time?!" Mu Renjie walked out from behind the tree, his face extremely gloomy.

Xiao Kang explained, "Brother Mu, you've wronged me. I thought that with your strength, dealing with Zhou Qing and the Wood Spirit Corpse would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect that you're still injured."

When I was about to rush to help, I unexpectedly ran into Wei Hongyu at the foot of the mountain.

I did everything I could to stop her for Brother Mu; otherwise, if she had climbed Black Wind Mountain, Brother Mu's situation would have been even worse!

"With your strength from three blood transfusions, you can't even handle Wei Hongyu?!" Mu Renjie roared in anger.

Xiao Kang smiled wryly and said, "Brother Mu, you underestimate the power of a second-tier divine weapon. Wei Hongyu is not so easy to deal with."

Even if Xiao could defeat Wei Hongyu, he would have to pay a considerable price.

If we were to fight them at the foot of Black Wind Mountain and attract the Grand Martial Masters of Black Mountain Town, our plan would be completely exposed.

"You better not try anything funny!" Mu Renjie sneered.

"Brother Mu, please calm down. I specially found another Great Rejuvenation Pill for you this time to help you stabilize your injuries. No one expected Zhou Qing to be so troublesome." Xiao Kang took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom.

Mu Renjie narrowed his eyes, and the two stared at each other for a long time.

"This time we've figured out Zhou Qing's background. Next time, we'll work together!" A moment later, Mu Renjie took the porcelain bottle and flew away from the woods.

"What a pity," Xiao Kang sighed inwardly after Mu Renjie left.

Actually, rather than killing Zhou Qing and Wei Hongyu and making an enemy of the Poison Demon, he wanted to find out more about Mu Renjie's background.

Because Mu Renjie is now all alone.

However, antagonizing the Poison Demon could lead to offending the Five Poisons Sect.

Although Xiao Kang was not afraid, he was constantly weighing the pros and cons.

If Mu Renjie can be captured alive, the merit gained, combined with his previous achievements, will be enough to give him a chance to attempt the Four Blood Transformation.

However, he was also reluctant to part with the Fire Spirit Corpse, as it concerned his future progress in cultivating the Blazing Sun Technique.

However, he was worried that after Mu Renjie obtained the Wood Spirit Corpse, he might not keep his promise to help him obtain the Fire Spirit Corpse.

Being targeted by the leader of the Witch God Cult is far more serious than offending the Five Poisons Sect.

Because of his wavering mind, Xiao Kang did not go up the mountain as planned.
