Night Without End-Chapter 342 - 217: Beating Old Cao
Chapter 342: Chapter 217: Beating Old Cao
Li Qingxu’s scalp tingled—his master, Cao Qianqiu, a revered figure for a generation, had actually been disrespected and challenged in this manner.
For a moment, he wanted to rush forward and defend the honor of the sect, not allowing anyone to offend them.
However, reality was cruel; he was not a match. Even his master’s simulated Heavenly Light Force couldn’t withstand the opponent’s ferocious hammer technique.
He could only force himself to stay calm and stand still.
Cao Qianqiu, indifferent to a fault, said, "It’s been many years since anyone dared to challenge me. Youth is truly wonderful—always so vigorous and fearless. But they also die quickly."
If Qin Ming were at a disadvantage, he would indeed have his emotions disturbed by him. However, he had now shattered Old Cao’s Big Hammer, holding a dominant position, and wore a smile.
He spoke, "I finally understand, your whole lineage is good at ’talking with your fists,’ and your style is quite impressive!"
For years, Cao Qianqiu had held a high posture—frivolous, overbearing, and flamboyant. He had the capital for it, and most of what he said he could accomplish. Yet, the disciples could only talk empty words.
In the distance, Li Qingxu’s face alternated between blue and white. Incapable of rebutting through action, he had to leave it to his master to step forward.
The remaining half of Cao Qianqiu’s hammer handle exploded with a bang, runes extending outward to reform a Big Hammer, surrounded by the Pure Yang Attribute "Heavenly Light Force," appearing extremely intimidating.
His aggression had become instinctual, having roamed the world unchallenged for years, always piercing through opponents, never knowing defeat, and thus again wielding his hammer in battle.
He did this naturally to suppress his opponent in the area they excelled most.
Qin Ming said nothing, grasping the Dragon and Snake Hammer as he moved forward. To deal with the old maniac, the best response was to hammer him down in actual combat.
Cao Qianqiu’s spiritual body seemed weightless, yet when he moved, his strength was unparalleled. As he lightly shook the Big Hammer, the air exploded.
In an instant, he glided through the air, as if carrying a mountain, the hammer’s slight sway releasing terrifying booms.
At this moment, Qin Ming "respected" this old senior, needing to use every ounce of strength to hammer him, his entire body scorching with Heavenly Light Force, light surging.
He leapt twenty meters in an instant, arriving swiftly, swinging the hammer to strike, meeting Old Cao midair like a meteor crashing down.
"Clang!"
A deafening sound erupted in this area, and not just the Heavenly Light Force; even the shockwaves cracked the remaining trees nearby.
"Old senior, I respect you greatly. Have a hundred hammers from me first!" Qin Ming said.
In an instant, the two clashed fiercely, neither backing down. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
This area seemed as if two mountains were colliding, the ground shaking, Heavenly Light Force entwined like countless bolts of lightning being unleashed.
In a flash, the two exchanged a dozen hammers.
As Qin Ming descended to the ground, Cao Qianqiu dived, following up with strikes.
You could see the ground splitting open, massive cracks spreading half a foot wide, radiating in all directions.
The two fought with speed, moving like lightning. The critical factor was their immense strength, their destructive power astonishing. Stones shattered, the remaining woods turned to dust wherever they went.
They fought to the hillside, collapsing the slopes, the ground a web of intersecting cracks, any obstruction smashed by them would be destroyed.
"Old senior, you are quite strong, delightful, don’t stop, this is only forty hammers, come on!" Qin Ming exclaimed, holding the Dragon and Snake Hammer, Heavenly Strength Light boiling, leaping into the air, hammering toward his opponent.
Cao Qianqiu’s face slightly trembled, his Big Hammer shattered again.
"Weren’t you going to engage me in the area I’m best at? Please, don’t waste time!" Qin Ming shouted, lifting his hammer after landing.
Cao Qianqiu dived down, this time landing on the ground, reconstructing the Big Hammer with runes, fiercely clashing with his opponent. Yet this time, within just a dozen hammers, his weapon shattered completely again.
"What is happening, they’ve clashed again, is that Li Qingxu’s Chunyang Consciousness Radiance? How can it be this strong!"
In the Secret Realm, atop various peaks, many were shocked.
On the Immortal Road and God Road, aside from Li Qingyue, seeds from routes like Cui Chonghe and Su Shiyun all wore heavy expressions, starting to suspect that light was from Cao Qianqiu.
"Don’t run, let’s go again!" Qin Ming shouted, pursuing with his Big Hammer.
Cao Qianqiu’s silver hair danced, his old face extremely cold. How many years had it been since his strength was reversed by someone, especially by a youth using Heavenly Light Force!
For years, he had entertained thoughts, wanting to capture the Ancestor Master of the Newborn Road as a Power Warrior upon his next breakthrough.
Yet currently, in a head-to-head battle with a Newcomer on the same level, he found himself struggling—his face involuntarily twitching.
Cao Qianqiu’s silver hair danced, his Big Hammer in hand conjuring lightning, Wind Power, Fire Power, Earth Power, and others, his momentum surging, the entire area seemed to resonate with him.
Around him, winds and clouds fluctuated, a fine rain drizzled, and lightning intertwined.
Qin Ming sighed inwardly. This was the Overlord’s Secret Technique, which Old Cao had studied and now used. Qin Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or lament for the Overlord.
At this moment, there was nothing much to say; he needed to hammer Cao Qianqiu with force!
Qin Ming went wild, although operating the "Dragon and Snake Scripture," he was using the Silk Scripture to catalyze the blend of Heavenly Light Force, fully unleashing it.
After multiple collisions, Old Cao’s hammer shattered again, who-knows-for-the-how-manyth time.
Moreover, this time he didn’t dodge, receiving one of Qin Ming’s hammers—Chunyang Consciousness Radiance violently shook, his entire form twisted and blurred, swirling away.
Normally, if it were a flesh-and-blood body, he would surely be injured far more severely.
Qin Ming, like a flash of lightning, pursued him, Dragon and Snake Power bursting forth, like a dragon in the sky, capable of short flight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In that instant, he swung the Big Hammer continuously, relentlessly smashing at Cao Qianqiu.
For a time, Old Cao was extremely embarrassed; even the hammer handle was blown away. No matter how domineering he was, he had to grudgingly accept it, unable to defeat this young man with just the "Heavenly Light Force".
"Don’t retreat, it’s not a hundred hammers yet, come on!" Qin Ming became excited, using Sticky Force to pull over the Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance that his opponent had transformed into a large sleeve, dragging it towards himself.
At the same time, his other hand wielded the Dragon and Snake Hammer, fiercely smashing forward.
Li Qingxu was shocked; he saw his master received four hammers in a row from the opponent, the whole person getting struck and flying, his body dimming.
At the critical moment, Cao Qianqiu sliced off the large sleeve, abandoning a portion of Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance. Even so, his arm was still smashed apart.
Simultaneously, the young man quickly followed up with another hammer, blasting him dozens of meters away, as his entire body began to crack.
Fortunately, this was his Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance, which could be reformed after shattering.
His face was somber; he had never suffered such a defeat in his youth, always pushing through opponents effortlessly. How was it that as he aged, he now faced off at the same level only to be repeatedly hammered by this young man?
His combat experience, knowledge, and understanding of various scriptures, along with his Pure Yang Attribute Consciousness Radiance, should have made him innately invincible.
However, reality was bizarre like this. The young man in front neutralized ten ways with brute force, and that Heavenly Light Force was overly domineering. Within this First Realm, it might indeed surpass the Three Imperial Power.
Qin Ming called out, "Old senior, keep your word! You said you’d crush me in my strongest domain. Come on, there’s still several hammer strikes left to reach a hundred."
Cao Qianqiu’s face was extremely indifferent, saying, "In this domain, you’ve won."
Li Qingxu felt the sky collapse; his master, who had been invincible throughout life, causing all four corners to bow, was today hammered by a young man here.
The key was, the demon that was this young man was an enemy he had provoked!
"Master!" At this moment, Li Qingxu felt like a sinner, having let his master suffer such disgrace and loss.
"What happened? The battle just now was so intense, I can hardly believe that was Li Qingxu?"
Many people on various peaks doubted while being deeply shaken.
Li Qingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but smile; Cao Qianqiu was actually hammered.
Cui Chonghe, Cai Jingcheng, Su Shiyun, and others, after guessing that it was Old Cao, saw the initial battle result, and their expressions were all extremely serious.
...
"Then use your Immortal Road techniques!" Qin Ming straightforwardly said.
Li Qingxu clenched his fist; facing his master, his opponent dared to speak so bluntly.
Cao Qianqiu spoke faintly, "Heh, in some eras, there have been latecomers trying to gain fame through me, Cao Qianqiu, but in the end, I’ve reduced them to dust."
Then, countless runes appeared before him, forming a treasure mirror, and in an instant, Pure Yang Qi surged.
At that moment, Cao Qianqiu’s expression changed slightly, his body descending, falling to the ground, unable to hover in mid-air.
He looked into the void, chillingly said, "Do you dare interfere with this old man’s affairs?"
Evidently, if he had a body, he could not ascend aboveground in the First Realm, now being restricted by the Heavenly Demon Mirror.
Qin Ming laughed, and then directly charged forward.
Cao Qianqiu’s expression was indifferent, the mirror condensed from runes in his hand erupted in blinding light beams, shooting towards Qin Ming.
This was the Zhaoshen Realm, with thousands upon thousands of runes on the mirror surface, using Pure Yang as a blade, specifically cutting through the bodies of demon clans and newcomers.
Qin Ming’s left hand flowed with Heavenly Light, emulating by transforming into a mirror with Heavenly Light and integrating Divine Wisdom and Consciousness Spiritual Light for defense.
This mirror resembled a golden Fierce Sun, extremely dazzling, immediately blocking the opponent’s Pure Yang Light, transforming sharp blades into flames, burning here.
"Hmm?!" Cao Qianqiu’s brows tightened; he forgot that he was in the First Realm, facing such a force of Heavenly Light exceeding the Three Imperial Power, indeed difficult to penetrate.
Qin Ming, holding the Lieyang Mirror in his left hand and Big Hammer in the right, stomped the ground and charged forward at high speed.
The Zhaoshen Mirror in Cao Qianqiu’s hand continuously emitted terrible beams, Pure Yang Attribute was extremely intimidating, which would directly penetrate someone else.
However, Qin Ming either used the mirror as a shield to block or directly crushed it with the Big Hammer.
He charged close, smashing the Zhaoshen Mirror amid rapid exchanges, once again striking the Dragon and Snake Hammer onto Old Cao.
Cao Qianqiu was furious; when had he ever suffered such humiliation, his entire body blooming with runes, appearing like a Pure Yang Phoenix, rapidly moving, fighting Qin Ming.
However, fierce gusts of wind blew, and the young man swung the Big Hammer, surprisingly forcing him to struggle to cope.
The First Realm’s young man was unparalleled, the direction of the Big Hammer caused even his Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance to tremble, cracking multiple times.
Boom!
Cao Qianqiu was sent flying, the young man pursued, hammer after hammer falling down.
Li Qingxu’s eyes nearly burst; that was his invincible master in his mind, now hit repeatedly, currently smashed in the chest, swirling dozens of meters away.
Cao Qianqiu’s face was icy, his body already shattered; he realized if he had a body without Pure Yang Consciousness, he’d be in danger!
His gaze was cold and fierce, deciding this young man must not be left alive!
With a thud, his head took a heavy hammer blow, quickly cracking open.
