Chapter 67 Seven Emotions vs. Six Desires, Sword Slays the Poisonous Demon (Please read on, please vote!)

In the arena.

Zhou Qing and the Poison Demon stood facing each other.

The Poison Demon was clad in a black robe, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were like snakes, exuding a chilling aura. Zhou Qing, on the other hand, was dressed in a green robe, with a handsome face and a long sword on his back, possessing an extraordinary and refined temperament.

"Little brat, let me see what strength you have, and what qualifications you have to be ranked thirty-fifth on the Earth Ranking, ahead of me."

The Poison Demon sneered, his black robes fluttering without wind, and a cold and venomous aura spread out, enveloping the entire arena in his Myriad Poisons Domain.

Within the Realm of Ten Thousand Poisons, endless poisonous gas condensed into countless poisonous claws, reaching out to grab Zhou Qing from all directions, as if to tear him apart.

"Little tricks!"

Zhou Qing's body immediately became protected by true qi.

One layer, two layers, three layers, four layers... a total of ten layers of true qi, and these ten layers of true qi eventually merged together, transforming into primordial true qi.

The poisonous claws descended, but were easily blocked by the Primordial Chaos True Qi, producing a clanging sound and sparks flying, unable to break through its defenses at all.

"What?! Tenth level of True Qi!"

Upon seeing this, the Poison Demon's expression changed slightly.

The information on the Earth Ranking clearly states that Zhou Qing only mastered eight kinds of intent power, but the fact that he unleashed ten layers of True Qi Fusion means that he also mastered ten kinds of intent power.

"Good lad, it seems I underestimated you. But defeating me won't be so easy." The Poison Demon sneered, "Let me show you the power of the Six Desires Poison I just mastered."

Immediately afterwards, the poisonous gas in the Myriad Poisons Domain rapidly condensed together, transforming into a giant six-eyed poisonous toad.

The six-eyed poisonous toad released six beams of light, which actually penetrated the protective Primordial True Qi and directly affected Zhou Qing's mind and consciousness.

In an instant, Zhou Qing felt that everything went black before his eyes, he could not hear any sound, smell any scent, and he lost all sense of smell and touch. He even lost the ability to think.

These six desires—the desire to see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and think—are instantly stripped away.

In a sense, the disappearance of the six desires is death.

hum~~~
However, with a thought, Zhou Qing's dark eyes were illuminated by numerous lights. These lights were formed from the power of ten different intents, including sword intent, flame intent, ice intent, and mountain intent. The six desires that had been stripped away were instantly restored.

"You also take my sword!"

Zhou Qing recovered and unleashed a sword strike.

Instantly, a magnificent sword light tore through the Poison Demon's Myriad Poisons Domain and fell directly towards the Poison Demon.

At this moment, the seven emotions of the Poison Demon were immediately aroused.

The joy among the seven emotions made his blood boil, his qi and blood surge uncontrollably, and aroused the most primal desires of his body.

Anger, one of the seven emotions, caused his eyes to turn bloodshot, rendering him completely irrational and leaving him with only thoughts of killing.

The sorrow among the seven emotions plunged him into endless grief, as if he had lost his most beloved family member.

Among the seven emotions, "longing" means that he was caught in endless longing, reminiscing about the past, and even forgetting the danger of the life-and-death struggle before him.

The sorrow among the seven emotions plunged him into endless grief, making him feel that there was nothing in this world worth cherishing, and he resolved to die.

Fear, one of the seven emotions, made him tremble all over, and boundless terror arose in his heart, as if he were being watched by a natural enemy. Shock, another of the seven emotions, made his heart pound violently, as if it were about to leap out of his chest, and he was in a state of extreme panic, at a loss for what to do.

The power of the seven emotions was integrated into the artistic conception, and under the influence of this power, the Poison Demon had completely lost the will to fight. His figure became unsteady, his eyes were empty, and he was like a puppet on a string, at the mercy of others.

scoff-

The Poison Demon's Myriad Poisons Domain was instantly torn apart, and a magnificent sword beam descended, enveloping the Poison Demon within it.

In an instant, the Poison Demon's body was sliced ​​in two by a single sword strike.

Faced with this sword strike, the Poison Demon didn't even have a chance to unleash its true essence and fight back, and was completely killed by this sword.

The speed, ferocity, and sharpness of this sword strike exceeded everyone's expectations.

This is the power of the Seven Emotions Sword Technique, an innate martial art. Xu Feiyu, who only cultivated one of the Seven Emotions Sword Techniques, the Great Compassion Sword, was ranked on the Earth Ranking. Zhou Qing, on the other hand, had mastered the complete Seven Emotions Sword Technique, and the power he could unleash was ten or even dozens of times stronger than Xu Feiyu's Great Compassion Sword.

The demon's corpse slowly fell, its blood staining the earth red, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

"Dead! The Poison Demon was slain by a single sword strike!"

"What kind of sword technique is that? It actually tore through the Poison Demon's domain of intent so easily."

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! Zhou Qing didn't even use any spiritual weapons; he killed the Poison Demon, ranked thirty-ninth on the Earth Ranking, a True Core Master, solely through his swordsmanship. After this battle, who would dare question Zhou Qing's ranking on the Earth Ranking?"

"That's too strong. It seems that Zhou Qing killed Lu Yuan, the Raging Sea Dragon, and Xu Feiyu, the Great Compassion Sword, with his own strength, not by using a spiritual weapon as the outside world speculated."

"..."

The surrounding audience erupted in uproar.

Originally, they thought there would be another fierce battle.

No one expected that the battle between the two Earth Ranking Grandmasters would end so quickly. Zhou Qing killed the Poison Demon with just one sword strike.

The Poison Demon, a once-renowned powerhouse, committed a heinous crime in the Great Xuan Dynasty, poisoning an entire city. Despite the all-out efforts of the Great Xuan Eagle Wolf Guard to capture him, he escaped and fled overseas, living a carefree life.

However, in this struggle for the crown prince position in Baoyu Kingdom, he fell to Zhou Qing.

The death of the Poison Demon shocked everyone present and gave them a deeper understanding of Zhou Qing's strength.

Meng Feng, the Mountain Lord, and Shen Fang, the Wind and Thunder Palm, both ranked as Earthly Masters, exchanged a glance, both seeing a solemn expression in each other's eyes.

Based on Zhou Qing's demonstrated combat prowess, killing the Poison Demon ranked thirty-ninth on the Earth Ranking with a single sword strike, he is probably qualified to challenge for the top twenty on the Earth Ranking.

It should be noted that the top twenty masters on the Earth Ranking are basically the leaders of top-tier forces, the strongest beings below the Grandmaster level.

Without a Grandmaster, virtually no one can kill them.

After killing the Poison Demon, Zhou Qing sheathed his sword, reached out, and the storage bag on the Poison Demon flew into his hand.

He slowly walked off the stage, waiting for the third round of the competition to begin. The corpse of the Poison Demon on the stage was carried off amidst the sighs of the crowd.

This battle undoubtedly made Zhou Qing's reputation even greater than before, and made everyone realize his great strength. Those who had doubts about his strength before completely dispelled their thoughts at this moment, truly establishing his status as a Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking.
