Night Without End-Chapter 341 - 216 Cao Qianqiu

The sudden appearance of the old man was quite the "surprise", causing Qin Ming to stagger back three steps.

He had anticipated that there might be an issue with the Nine Divine Chains, initially thinking it was Li Qingxu who had sealed some mysterious force that would eventually erupt.

At that time, he might face an even more powerful Li Qingxu. Yet, in this First Realm, Qin Ming feared no challenge.

In fact, he even looked forward to it.

Who would have thought that instead, an Old Deng would appear at the end?

It’s like on the wedding night, when lifting the red veil, there’s the face of an old man grinning at him.

All expectations turned into fright, Qin Ming did not get to see the "complete form" of Li Qingxu but instead was greeted by his infamous mentor, dreaded by gods and loathed by ghosts.

"Breaking my Nine Dragon Nourishing Body Technique comes at a price!" Li Qingxu shouted loudly, his body covered in blood, with extensive fractures, barely able to stand.

At this moment, with limitless killing intent, even though he remained calm when severely wounded before, now his emotions surged violently.

This time, his voice was exceptionally loud, heard by those observing from all the high mountains.

"The Immortal Road has been severed, yet what does he still rely on? Indeed, even if he didn’t win the key battle, his high standards cannot lose."

"The light bursting out from him is quite dangerous, is this his killer move?"

At a great distance, many did not see clearly the true face of this Pure Yang Light.

Cao Qianqiu, with hands behind his back, slowly ascended, looking down at Qin Ming, displaying the same domineering and overwhelming presence, imperiously surveying the world.

Li Qingyue saw it clearly, because of her Spirit Eye. Her brows knitted slightly, sensing trouble; Cao Qianqiu is known to zealously protect his own, who can stop that?

On other paths, all the Immortal Seeds and Divine Bells felt something unusual, their eyes revealing divine glimmers, gazing seriously.

This was a strand of Pure Yang Consciousness Spiritual Light from Cao Qianqiu. In an instant, he grasped the situation here, looking at his own disciple with a somewhat complicated expression.

He himself hardly finds defeat, how could his disciples end up so dispirited?

The Nine Dragon Nourishing Body Technique, recorded in the Sect Suppressing Scripture, if allowed to accumulate, waiting for the Divine Chains to naturally break and fall off, Li Qingxu’s talent and strength would soar significantly.

As it happened, he was defeated early and so miserably, almost having all his bones broken.

Li Qingxu felt ashamed, losing to a demon, even forcing out the life-saving trump card given by his master, he had no face at all.

"It’s alright, the Nine Dragon Nourishing Body Technique has a saying of breaking before establishing, it will be even stronger in the future." Cao Qianqiu spoke.

He had roamed the outside world unrestrained, with blood-stained hands, even wanting to suppress the Ancestor Master of the Newborn Road, trying to make him a Power Warrior, he had even bullied the weak without regard for his reputation to slay an Overlord, despised by people, yet this protection of his own disciples is genuinely meaningful to them.

Li Qingxu was very moved, his eyes reddened as he nodded, even at a time like this, his master was still comforting him.

"It’s a pity that as a youth, I never had the chance to break and then establish." Cao Qianqiu said.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qingxu’s expression froze.

"Mirror, come out quickly, there’s a problem here!" Qin Ming secretly called out, facing an old man with powers reaching the sky, few would want to confront him.

"At the moment, he hasn’t gone beyond bounds." the Heavenly Demon Mirror responded.

However, the shadow in Qin Ming’s heart did not lessen.

If by any chance this strand of Pure Yang Consciousness Spiritual Light remembers him and resonates with his true body, though not saying his path would end, it would be almost over.

This old man would kill at whim, with few capable of restraining him.

Back then, in the Divine City constructed by the Big Centipede, just because he saw the demeanor of Qin Ming’s action slightly resembled the Overlord, Cao Qianqiu wanted to point him to death.

If it weren’t for Meng Xinghai’s Master Uncle blocking in time, Qin Ming, without knowing, would have already turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"Watch closely how I will crush him!" Cao Qianqiu spoke.

Li Qingxu’s heart jolted, his master was going to take action personally!

Qin Ming knew, there was no way to peacefully resolve this matter, the old guy indeed planned to intervene directly, it was a long-standing tradition for this lineage.

"Come, let me slay you!" Cao Qianqiu commanded, his words carrying a significant murderous aura.

At this stage, Qin Ming no longer remained silent, nor would he retreat, speaking calmly, "If you were to return to your youth, or if I were born in your era, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to beat you down!"

Cao Qianqiu sneered, saying, "You are quite defiant? Ha, I overlook all paths, how many so-called heroes have turned to bones through the years, even the strong of an era barely qualify to come before me."

His silver hair bathed in the red sun, his gaze turned exceedingly sharp, hovering in the air, looking down upon the young man ahead, saying, "As for you youngsters, step by step kowtowing and still unable to come before me for an audience."

Qin Ming’s gaze changed, he admitted the old guy was indeed formidable, having been forceful all his life, stomping on countless iron plates, but this person was truly excessively arrogant.

His temper also flared up, saying, "Indeed, I am defiant, words are useless, give me a chance to fight you on the same domain, and I assure you, I’ll strangle you."

Cao Qianqiu was very surprised, how many years had it been since someone dared speak to him like that, the last person to defy and berate him face to face was that Overlord.

He spoke coldly, "Hmm, forcing me to duel on the same level with the constraints here? Ha, it’s fine, when I was in my prime, I dared to sweep away all worldly opponents. Today, I’ll act recklessly once again, single-handedly destroying you so-called geniuses of the Immortal Tao."

Qin Ming finally understood why he was hated by gods and ghosts, even demons loathed him, and even stray dogs wanted to bite him. This old guy had a knack for irking everyone with every word he said.

It was entirely understandable, the feelings of his opponents. They couldn’t do anything to him; if they dared provoke, they would be blown away by him, so they were filled with resentment, anger, bitterness, and even if they were unsatisfied, they had to keep it bottled up.

In just this brief moment, Qin Ming found his emotions disturbed by him.

With a clang, the Dragon Saber in his hand flashed with a burst of brilliance, flowing with a black and white light in an instant, as the dragon and snake resonated. He said, "Don’t ride on your old age, today let’s see if I can chop you down or if you can kill me with one hand!"

Qin Ming was stirred up by this old fellow, igniting a powerful fighting spirit; it had been a long time since he had such an urgent desire to battle someone.

"Very well, the river of time I’ve tread now holds one more insignificant dried-up bone," Cao Qianqiu nodded, with an extremely dangerous aura flowing around him.

With a finger, the sky was filled densely with runes, thousands upon thousands, like a brilliant starry river, yet also like countless Immortal Flower Buds about to bloom.

Li Qingxu was both ashamed and thrilled; ultimately, it was his master who appeared here, personally killing the Demon Seed.

In the Secret Realm, all parties were unaware of the battlefield situation; they didn’t know that the light that manifested from Li Qingxu’s body was Cao Qianqiu, nor could they hear the dialogue there.

There was no doubt, if the "ordinary exchange" between the old and the young were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar!

Only a few had a sense, guessing the truth.

After Cao Qianqiu pointed, the dense runes in the sky gathered with a rumble, transforming into a big hammer, engraved with numerous patterns. frёeωebɳovel.com

He held it in his hand and said, "Whether demon or newcomer, the early methods are similar; I will hammer you in your most proficient field."

In the clangor, the Dragon Saber in Qin Ming’s hand transformed too, recondensing into a large hammer, black and white intertwined, surrounded by Yin Yang Qi.

His fighting spirit was aroused, ready to meet the old fellow head-on, like a needle against a sharp awn.

He used the Heavenly Light Force combined with Unity, driving the "Dragon and Snake Scripture," embodying demon energy, manifesting the Dragon and Snake Hammer, with his spirit highly concentrated.

Then Qin Ming took the initiative, rushing forward with his hammer.

He couldn’t follow the old man’s rhythm; facing such an old madman, exploding everything was the best retort.

Cao Qianqiu, forceful throughout his life, saw and took the initiative to engage.

His body, transformed from Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance, was light yet incredibly fast, wielding the rune-engraved hammer, diving down instantly.

The dazzling Heavenly Light stirred as he swung the hammer, with an ear-splitting explosion, crashing towards the youth in front.

Qin Ming was deeply surprised; Cao Qianqiu actually simulated the fearsome characteristics of the Heavenly Light Force using Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance, indeed defying nature.

With a boom, like thunder exploding, the entire battlefield trembled. Grass, trees, boulders in the mountains — anything struck by the brilliance released from their blows shattered and exploded.

In the arena, both their hair was flying backward, and the terrifying "Heavenly Light Force" made their clothes flutter wildly.

Though Cao Qianqiu was made of Consciousness Radiance, he behaved no different than a flesh and blood body.

He stood in midair, spun, swung his right arm, and blasted down with even more ferocity.

Qin Ming remained fearless, leaped up, reached the sky, stretched his body, swung the Dragon and Snake Hammer, and smashed it towards the opponent.

Instantly, a dull noise erupted in the midair, deafening, light beams surged like thunder descending from the nine heavens, causing the ground to shake violently.

Cao Qianqiu flew amidst the air waves, his Pure Yang Spirit Body light as if effortless, wielding the rune-filled hammer and leaping twenty meters away.

Qin Ming fell from the sky; the ground beneath his feet cracked, the Heavenly Light Force surged from his hammer, like it was wrapped in lightning.

"Quite skillful, hmm, there’s something unusual about you." Cao Qianqiu stared at him.

Indeed, since seeing Qin Ming, he sensed he wasn’t purely a demon, but didn’t think much of it. After engaging now, with his experience and insight, he naturally gleaned much information.

Qin Ming interrupted him, "Stop your nonsense; I’m eager to see how you intend to kill me, and don’t just use one hand, use both!"

In fact, he himself also had one hand behind his back.

Cao Qianqiu’s expression was cold as he raised the hammer in his hand again.

The power he demonstrated was said to be Heavenly Light Force, but actually, he simulated it with Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance, far stronger than the Heavenly Light Force cultivated by those on the Immortal Road; merely the "Pure Yang" attribute was sufficient to overwhelm everything else.

He continuously stacked runes, constructing this Pure Yang Light into an exceedingly terrifying "power."

In the back, Li Qingxu was greatly shaken; he was seeing his master’s power at this stage for the first time, and he truly couldn’t surpass blue with blue.

Cao Qianqiu wielded his hammer, flying in Spiritual Body state, swiftly as lightning, diving towards Qin Ming once again.

This time, Qin Ming stood motionless, fiercely channeling Heavenly Light Force, causing the Dragon and Snake Hammer in his right hand to vibrate, roar, enveloped in dazzling beams of light, even letting out sharp whirring sounds.

Rather like a mountain torrent bursting, a lake and sea dam break, the rumbling noise was continuous. Qin Ming and Cao Qianqiu kept hammering against each other, seemingly about to crush the mountain and tear the night apart.

Finally, they suddenly separated; Qin Ming held the Dragon and Snake Hammer and looked ahead.

Cao Qianqiu’s Spirit Body was feather-light, floating backward more than ten meters, the rune-engraved hammer in his hand was already shattered, with only half the handle remaining.

"Use your Immortal Road methods!" Qin Ming backed his left hand, pointing with the black and white Dragon and Snake Hammer in his hand, towards Cao Qianqiu in the air.
