Chapter 62 Storage Bag, Seven Emotions Sword Technique
Click!

A broken sound sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the true pill that Lu Yuan had offered up was shattered into pieces by the terrifying sword energy unleashed by Zhou Qing. All its power was instantly lost, turning into a terrifying storm of true energy that swept outwards.

"No!"

As soon as his core shattered, Lu Yuan felt an aura of death enveloping him. An unprecedented fear surged within him, and he let out a desperate roar.

puff!

The sword energy was unstoppable, piercing directly through Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with despair and resentment. When he accepted this mission, he never thought he would die.

With his cultivation as a True Core Master, dealing with a True Qi Master would be a piece of cake. He never expected to be caught off guard and suffer such a setback.

He was filled with remorse.

When we were at the Zhanzhou City dock, knowing that Zhou Qing had mastered eight kinds of artistic conception power, we shouldn't have continued to pursue him.

But it's too late to say anything now. The sword energy has already pierced through his body, shattering his core. Even the most powerful elixir couldn't save his life.

thump!
Lu Yuan's body fell helplessly from the sky into the sea, splashing up a large amount of water, and the seawater quickly swallowed his body.

However, a large hand of true energy reached down and pulled his body up, as did Xu Feiyu's corpse, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

These two are Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking, so they must have a lot of good stuff on them.

The silver dragon armor worn by Lu Yuan is a mid-grade spiritual weapon, and the longsword in Xu Feiyu's hand is also a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Spirit weapons are weapons forged from the spiritual materials of heaven and earth. Their power far surpasses that of ordinary weapons. Moreover, because the materials used to forge spirit weapons are extremely rare and the forging process is incredibly difficult, each spirit weapon is extremely precious.

In terms of value, spiritual weapons are even more important than divine will. Possessing a spiritual weapon means having a great advantage among those of the same level.

Zhou Qing stripped Lu Yuan of his silver dragon armor and then put Xu Feiyu's low-grade spiritual weapon longsword into his pocket.

Then, he rummaged through the two corpses.

"Ok?"

Soon, Zhou Qing noticed that both of them had a gray cloth bag on them.

There was nothing else besides this gray cloth bag.

"Could this be... a storage bag?!"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

Although a storage bag can only be used to store items, strictly speaking, it is also a special kind of spiritual weapon. Ordinary innate grandmasters are not qualified to possess such a rare treasure as a storage bag. He killed thirteen true qi grandmasters at the Zhanzhou City dock, and none of them possessed a storage bag or a spiritual weapon.

However, Xu Feiyu is different from Lu Yuan.

One is the chief disciple of the Wanjian Sect Master, a Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking, and the other is the Golden Eagle Envoy of the Eagle Wolf Guard, second only to the Governor, a True Core Grandmaster of the seventh level of the Innate Realm, whose ranking on the Earth Ranking is even higher than Xu Feiyu.

It's not surprising that both of them possessed spiritual weapons and storage bags.

Zhou Qing held the two gray cloth bags in his hands and examined them carefully.

The two gray cloth bags looked extremely ordinary, without anything special about them, but when Zhou Qing held them in his hands, he could feel that they were unusually heavy.

A gray cloth bag, only the size of a fist.

However, it contains several hundred kilograms of weight.

Zhou Qing channeled his true energy, and the gray cloth bag emitted a burst of spiritual light. Then, like a ball, it continued to expand and grow larger, reaching a height of over ten feet. The space inside was as large as a room of more than ten square meters, enough to hold quite a few things.

Both storage bags contained a considerable number of spirit stones.

Besides these, there were personal belongings, such as gold and silver.

"Seven Emotions Sword Technique!"

Zhou Qing discovered a congenital martial arts technique in Xu Feiyu's storage bag.

This innate martial art, called the Seven Emotions Sword Technique, incorporates seven emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, thought, grief, fear, and shock—into its swordplay. When facing an enemy, it can evoke their deepest emotions, plunging them into various negative states and thus affecting their judgment and combat effectiveness.

Xu Feiyu only cultivates the Great Compassion Sword Technique within the Seven Emotions Sword Technique. Because Xu Feiyu only masters one type of intent power, he can only integrate one emotion. To unleash the full power of the Seven Emotions Sword Technique, each emotion needs to be integrated with a different intent power.

In other words, to master the Seven Emotions Sword Technique, one needs to grasp the power of seven states of mind. Only in this way can one integrate the seven emotions and unleash the true power of the Seven Emotions Sword Technique.

Xu Feiyu had limited talent and only comprehended one kind of artistic conception in his life. He incorporated the emotion of 'sorrow' from the Seven Emotions Sword Technique into his sword intent, thus creating the name Great Sorrow Sword.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Qing nodded in satisfaction.

An ordinary grandmaster only possesses one kind of power of intent, so he can only cultivate one of the sword techniques in the Seven Emotions Sword Technique. However, he has mastered eight kinds of power of intent, so he can cultivate the Seven Emotions Sword Technique to its extreme, making its power far exceed that of ordinary innate martial arts.

This can be seen from this.

This Seven Emotions Sword Technique should also belong to ancient martial arts.

Because modern martial artists only cultivate one kind of intent power, while only ancient martial arts involve the application of multiple intent powers.

Zhou Qing put the spirit stones, silver notes, and other items he had on him into his storage bag, and then poured his true energy into refining the mid-grade defensive spirit weapon, the Silver Dragon Armor.

After this spiritual weapon is refined, it clings tightly to the skin and can be hidden within the body. When needed, it can transform into a light armor that attaches to the body.

The spirit weapon longsword contains sword intent.

A martial artist who has not cultivated sword intent can unleash a sword intent attack by wielding a spiritual weapon longsword, while a longsword can amplify sword intent if the martial artist has mastered it.

Zhou Qing put the storage bag away.

He threw Lu Yuan and Xu Feiyu's bodies into the sea.

Soon.

Zhou Qing returned to the merchant ship of Sihai Pavilion.

"Young Master Zhou...you're back!"

Upon seeing Zhou Qing return, the manager of Sihai Pavilion immediately showed a look of surprise.

After all, he had just seen Lu Yuan and Xu Feiyu, both ranked masters on the Earth Ranking, chasing after Zhou Qing. How come Zhou Qing returned so quickly and seemed to be safe and sound?

With the strength of two Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking, it's impossible for them to lose the chase.

However, Zhou Qing returned safely, but Lu Yuan and Xu Feiyu were nowhere to be found. It is very likely that they were killed by Zhou Qing!
"Young Master Zhou, I just saw Lu Yuan, the Earth Ranking Grandmaster, and Xu Feiyu, the Great Compassion Sword. They seem to be chasing you. Didn't you encounter them?"

The manager of Sihai Pavilion couldn't help but ask.

“I encountered them, and I killed them all!” Zhou Qing said calmly. “Now, their bodies have probably sunk to the bottom of the sea and been devoured by sharks.”

"died!"

Although he had some idea in his mind, the manager of Sihai Pavilion was still shocked to hear Zhou Qing say it in person.

The Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking are frequently replaced.

But those are all changes in rankings, who was defeated by whom, or which old master ascended to the Earth Ranking; very few fell from grace.

Even after so many years of struggle between the imperial court and the Zoroastrianism, the number of Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking who have perished is still very small.

After all, those who can become Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking are all powerful figures who have mastered the realm of intent, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Unless the gap in skill level is truly enormous, a kill is not possible.

But today, Zhou Qing directly killed two Earth Ranking Grandmasters.

He looked at Zhou Qing with eyes full of awe.

If this matter were to spread, the entire martial arts world would likely be shaken, and not just the martial arts world of Da Xuan.

The Grandmasters on the Feng Man Lou list are not limited to the Great Xuan Dynasty, but also include the Great Ling Kingdom in the northern frontier, the Sand Kingdom in the west, and the Bao Yu Kingdom overseas.

Zhou Qing will definitely be on the list next time the rankings are updated.

Furthermore, this ranking will certainly not be low.
