Xia Zheng smiled helplessly. She knew her husband's personality very well. He was just itching to spar with that powerful stranger.

Then Xia Zheng casually tossed out a wad of Federal Coins as payment to the merchant, and also as an apology to the merchant for the abnormality her husband had caused.

She flew after him, still worried about Qian Gu Qingfeng. She wanted to be present during their sparring, even if he had set a trap; she wanted to face it together with him.

"It should be here."

Following the traces of spiritual energy deliberately left by Nan Fusheng, Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zhengleng arrived at the outskirts of Tianhun City. Under Qian Gu Qingfeng's spiritual perception, there was no ambush, only a very obvious presence of aura not far away.

"You're the one who summoned me here, aren't you? With such mastery of spiritual power, you must be no nobody. Why don't you introduce yourself first?"

Qian Gu Qingfeng calmly stepped forward. Although he sensed that the person in front of him seemed to have a weak aura, he was only at the Title Douluo level, not even Super Douluo.

However, the only presence he could clearly sense here was this figure in front of him; it must be the one who had summoned him. As for the aura issue? That could be concealed.

After all, if the other party could transmit their voice so accurately using mental power, it wouldn't be difficult for them to conceal their cultivation level. At least in Qian Gu Qingfeng's view, the mental power transmitted to him just now was unmistakable.

"Hehe, Senior Purgatory should be very familiar with my name."

The figure in front turned around, revealing a face that seemed very familiar to Qian Gu Qingfeng.

"You are... Invincible?!"

Qian Gu Qingfeng looked at that familiar face for a moment, then said with some surprise and uncertainty, "The Qian Gu Clan pays close attention to those clansmen who become Title Douluo."

Even though Qian Gu Qingfeng had basically never been involved in the affairs of his clan, he still remembered the titled Douluo within the clan.

The Undefeated One, a branch of the Eternal Clan, is a member of the clan who is expected to become a Super Douluo. Therefore, his younger brother directly appointed him as the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City.

If he can successfully reach level 95, it's entirely possible that he could make the other party one of the councilors of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Was that mental energy yours just now? No, that's not right. I know your level of mental power very well, and the mental fluctuations are not right either."

Qian Gu Qingfeng thought that spiritual power was invincible throughout the ages, but he quickly dismissed it. He knew very well what level invincible throughout the ages was. Even if someone had some extraordinary encounters, they wouldn't possess spiritual power at that level.

If he truly possessed that kind of spiritual power, his cultivation level wouldn't be stuck at the Title Douluo level. Moreover, his spiritual fluctuations bear no resemblance to those of the Undefeated.

“I summoned you, Your Majesty Purgatory.”

Just then, a faint voice sounded from beside Qian Gu Bu Bai, and then Nan Fusheng's figure suddenly appeared.

"when?!"

"A little child?"

The voices of Qian Gu Qing Feng and Xia Zheng Leng rang out simultaneously. The former was surprised that Nan Fusheng could actually shield his mental senses. After all, his mental strength had reached the Spirit Domain Realm, yet he still had to ask the other party to speak before he could detect the other party's presence.

The latter was purely because of Nan Fusheng's appearance. Although Soul Masters in Douluo Continent are generally precocious, they can grow to the height of an adult at eleven or twelve years old, and some are even precocious at fourteen, looking like a thirty or forty-year-old uncle.

However, Nan Fusheng's situation is somewhat special. At fourteen years old, he is at most 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall. In terms of appearance, one can clearly see the naivety unique to teenagers.

"No, how could a child possibly possess this level of mental power?"

At this moment, Qian Gu Qingfeng was somewhat hesitant. When Nan Fusheng appeared, he could sense Nan Fusheng's undisguised mental fluctuations. They were exactly the same as the mental fluctuations that had summoned him to the outskirts.

"Is it some ancient relic with a youthful appearance? Or a ferocious beast in human form?"

Many thoughts flashed through Qian Gu Qingfeng's mind, but he quickly dismissed them. Nan Fusheng's youthful vigor was undeniable. The other man was definitely not old, at most in his early twenties.

As for a ferocious beast taking human form? That doesn't seem like it! He was confident he could recognize the aura of a ferocious beast. So, the other party really wasn't very old.

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older. I never imagined I'd be challenged to a duel by a junior. Tell me, how do you want to spar?"

Although his mind was racing, Qian Gu Qingfeng remained calm and composed on the surface before asking Nan Fusheng a question.

"Since Your Majesty Purgatory speaks frankly, I will not beat around the bush either. I want to challenge both you and Your Majesty Hanyun at the same time."

As Nan Fusheng spoke, the spiritual power unique to the Divine Origin Realm pressed down on the two of them without any concealment.

"This spiritual power! Divine Origin Realm?"

Before Qian Gu Qingfeng could even laugh at Nan Fusheng's arrogant words, he felt the pressure from Nan Fusheng's mental power. This time, directly and intuitively experiencing this mental power, he realized that Nan Fusheng's mental power was actually far superior to his own.

“Has this world gone mad?”

This was Qian Gu Qingfeng's truest thought at this moment. The spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm was something even he hadn't touched the boundary of, yet it had actually appeared in a child. This made Qian Gu Qingfeng feel as if he was still half asleep.

"Since you want to have a contest, then let me see what skills you have."

Without the slightest intention to underestimate Nan Fusheng, Qian Gu Qingfeng already regarded him as a formidable opponent when Nan Fusheng displayed his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red.

Qian Gu Qingfeng had no intention of letting his wife make a move. He took the first step forward, raised his right hand to the air, and rings of spirit rings appeared around his body. Six black and three red spirit rings emerged from his body! Among them were three red 100,000-year spirit rings!

A flash of black light appeared in the palm of Qian Gu Qing Feng's raised hand, and a slender weapon appeared in his hand.

It was a huge halberd with a painted shaft. In appearance, it was somewhat similar to a trident, but the style was different. A trident has three sharp blades, while this painted shaft halberd, which was pitch black and emitted a purplish-black halo, had a crescent blade on each side of the main blade, making it look very heavy.

This is the martial spirit of the eternal Qingfeng: the Purgatory Halberd.

"Be careful."

The next instant, Nan Fusheng felt an extremely heavy aura approaching him; it was Qian Gu Qingfeng who had made his move.

Purgatory Douluo, First Soul Skill, Dark Night Assassination!

"This soul skill is interesting!"

Nan Fusheng's spiritual power was so strong that he immediately sensed a spiritual force constantly eroding his senses. There was no doubt that this was the work of Qian Gu Qingfeng.

If one's mental strength were the same as the opponent's, one would probably be immediately deprived of their senses by this soul skill, and both their vision and mental strength would be plunged into darkness.

Unfortunately, there was a huge gap between Qian Gu Qing Feng and his spiritual power, so the special effect of this soul skill had no effect on Nan Fusheng.

"Shh!"

The next moment, Nan Fusheng's figure vanished completely; this was the spatial ability of the gate. At this point, he was merely a Soul King who hadn't yet obtained his sixth soul ring, and he had no intention of directly confronting Qian Gu Qingfeng.

"Did you dodge it? It's over here!"

A look of surprise flashed across Qian Gu Qingfeng's eyes. Around his body, the purplish-black light suddenly resonated, producing a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Gu Qingfeng turned around, his Purgatory Halberd shining brightly, and swept across instantly, a purplish-black light blade arriving in an instant.

Purgatory Douluo, Second Soul Skill, Netherworld Slash!

"Qingfeng?!"

An incredulous voice rang out from not far away, instantly causing Qian Gu Qingfeng to lose his composure. That was where his wife was! Why had he suddenly attacked that spot?

"The Melody of the Ancient Zither".

Even when faced with a sudden attack, Xia Zheng Leng remained completely calm; she was no weak woman. Back then, she had earned the title of the continent's number one sonic soul master solely through her martial soul: the Cold Rhyme Guzheng.

Facing the approaching Netherworld Slash, Xia Zheng coldly summoned her martial soul, and the Cold Melody Guzheng began to hum on its own. At the same time, a battle armor with ice flower patterns quickly covered her entire body. Although it was only a three-word battle armor, it was exceptionally beautiful, and a clear sound followed.

Han Yun Douluo Xia Zheng Leng only made the simplest action. At this moment, she only had time to make one action, which was to flip the Han Yun Guzheng in front of her and use it as a shield.

The Netherworld Slash arrived in the next instant.

The zither, with its strings facing Xia Zhengleng, was turned up. She grabbed the top of the zither with one hand, controlling it so it wouldn't block her view, and quickly pulled the top three strings with the other hand before suddenly releasing them.

"Clang—" A piercing sound of tearing silk rang out. Impacted by the strings, the side of the zither facing the Netherworld Slash suddenly burst forth with a crystal-clear light shield. The light shield was layered upon layered, and in an instant, nine layers were laid out. Each layer was like frost, and there was ever-changing ice mist inside, with lingering sound.

Nine layers of cold melody!

Xia Zhengleng has faced countless powerful enemies throughout her life. She was able to cultivate to the level of ninety-seven and defeat countless powerful enemies with her Hanyun Guzheng. Naturally, she has very strong strength in both offense and defense.

Sensing danger, he immediately released his battle armor to enhance his defense and soul power output, while simultaneously releasing the Ninefold Cold Rhyme to maximize his defense in the shortest possible time.

With unstoppable momentum, the Netherworld Slash broke through six layers of light barriers before finally dissipating in front of Xia Zheng Leng.

"Wife!" At this moment, Qian Gu Qingfeng rushed to Xia Zheng Leng's side, looking at her with a nervous expression. Even though his wife had successfully blocked the attack, how could he not be worried?

Especially considering that the person who launched the attack was himself, this was an absolute huge blow to Qian Gu Qingfeng.

"I am fine."

Xia Zheng shook her head and said that with the amplification of the battle armor and the defensive power of the Cold Rhyme Guzheng, her Cold Rhyme Nine Folds had reached the level of the Limit Douluo in terms of defensive power.

Since Qian Gu Qingfeng wasn't using any battle armor, it wasn't difficult for her to block that attack.

Chapter 292 Demigods and Quasi-gods

Xia Zheng then turned to inquire about her husband's condition; Qian Gu Qingfeng's attack had startled her just now.

If she hadn't been so close to Qian Gu Qingfeng, she probably wouldn't have been able to defend herself in time. She naturally didn't believe Qian Gu Qingfeng was intentionally attacking her, so there was only one possibility left: Qian Gu Qingfeng had been influenced by Nan Fusheng.

"What exactly is the opponent's ability? Mind control? No, Qingfeng's mental power has already reached the Spirit Domain Realm. Even if the opponent's mental power has really reached the Divine Origin Realm, it shouldn't be enough to control Qingfeng's body."

Xia Zhengleng began to consider Nan Fusheng's abilities. Even she dared not underestimate him at this moment. If she hadn't defended herself in time with Nan Fusheng's move just now, she would probably have been severely injured by Qian Gu Qingfeng.

After severely injuring his wife, this must have been a huge blow to Qian Gu Qingfeng, which might have caused him to lose his mind and do something irrational.

"I don't know either. After I saw him disappear, I subconsciously felt that he would teleport behind me, so I subconsciously chased after him. It didn't seem like a soul skill, and I didn't feel any obvious mental energy fluctuations."

Qian Gu Qingfeng shook his head; that was indeed what he had just thought. Nan Fusheng's disappearance made him subconsciously feel that the other party would teleport and launch a sneak attack, so he took the opportunity to counterattack.

For some reason, he had completely forgotten that his wife was standing not far away. Without a doubt, this incident was inextricably linked to Nan Fusheng.

No matter what, he's a renowned expert; how could he possibly make such a basic mistake? However, none of that matters anymore.

"Honey, why don't you step back a little?"

After letting Xia Zheng back down with the gentle breeze of a thousand years, he could avoid being influenced by the other party and launching another attack on his wife.
