The sword light raced forward, catching Zhao Beiming off guard. Before he could react, the long sword was already in front of him!
“Who dares to ambush me!” Zhao Beiming roared, his Jiuzhen Spear clashing directly with the Jinglan Sword!
The Jinglan Sword, as if tearing through everything, collided with the spear light. For a moment, it was actually blocked by the Jiuzhen Spear. Zhao Beiming’s power was not so easily resisted.
“The Jinglan Sword!” Upon recognizing the sword before him as the Jinglan from the Divine Weapon List, Zhao Beiming was taken aback.
How did this sword appear?
“It’s actually the Jinglan Sword!” The old man and the man on the tower also stood up abruptly, their faces filled with surprise as they looked into the distance.
That was the sword of the Qinglian Seven. Ever since the Qinglian Sword Sect was destroyed, the Qinglian Seven Swords had disappeared, unseen for many years.
There were even rumors outside that after the death of the Qinglian Seven, the Qinglian Seven Swords were collected by the Emperor of the North Cold Country, Yin Fengqi, which was why no one knew the whereabouts of the Qinglian Seven Swords.
But the appearance of the Jinglan Sword now was something no one had expected. The dazzling golden long sword, along with the sword intent wrapped around it, was as if the Qinglian Seven were still alive. Who could it be?
Xue Qianbai also retreated, looking at the Jinglan Sword. He knew that Li Changqing had made his move.
“He really knows how to stir up trouble, he hasn’t even left yet.” Xue Qianbai muttered to himself. The entire North Cold City was shocked by the appearance of the Jinglan Sword, and at this moment, the Jinglan Sword was even more radiant, actually fighting Zhao Beiming in mid-air.
Zhao Beiming’s spear technique was wide and powerful, each strike forcing the Jinglan Sword to retreat. Despite the Jinglan Sword’s astonishing power, it was still unable to deal with Zhao Beiming.
“Qingliu.”
“Shiyu.”
“Yanque.”
“Ruochen.” As several voices rang out, four more swords flew out, charging towards Zhao Beiming! Five swords were released at once.
The dazzling five rays of light actually dyed the sky with color.
“This…” At this moment, the entire world seemed to quiet down. Seeing the five swords, Zhao Beiming couldn’t believe it. The swords that had been hidden for so many years had mysteriously appeared.
The five swords surrounded and attacked Zhao Beiming. The fiery momentum of Yanque, the surging sword light of Shiyu, the delicate willow-like Qingliu, and the heavy weight of Ruochen, combined to put tremendous pressure on Zhao Beiming.
But Zhao Beiming was not weak either. Each of his spear strikes was like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable!
“Wave Tide!” Zhao Beiming roared, and under the Jiuzhen Spear, it was as if a giant snake was swallowing from the void.
The gaping mouth swallowed everything. The radiance of the five swords seemed to be swallowed by this giant mouth at this moment. Zhao Beiming’s spear strike actually had the intent to swallow the world.
Disturbing the eight wastelands.
“What a terrifying spear strike.” Seeing this move, everyone was awed by Zhao Beiming’s strength. He was indeed the Great General of the North Cold Country, the number one person in the current North Cold Country.
At this moment, the five swords seemed to be lost in a void storm. Faced with such a spear strike from Zhao Beiming, they were showing signs of being at a disadvantage.
“Zhou Shan, Shun Kong.” Whoosh! The last two swords also flew through the air. At this time, everyone noticed the direction from which the swords were flying. It was from the city wall of North Cold City, where a figure was standing tall.
The man wore a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his features. He was dressed in black, with no distinctive features. His left hand was holding a sword case, and his right hand was pointing at the sky.
The seven swords were all controlled by this man in black.
“Who is that!” Everyone was surprised to look at Li Changqing. Was there such a person in the Cangyuan Realm? He could control seven swords by himself, and he was using his Divine Soul to control them. This person’s Divine Soul was so powerful, he must be a Painting Sage.
Was he a pure Painting Sage or a dual cultivator of painting and martial arts?
“This guy…” Xue Qianbai had been worried about Li Changqing being exposed, but seeing Li Changqing like this, he couldn’t help but smile. Not only was he wearing a mask, but he had also changed his clothes.
If it weren’t for the seven swords, Xue Qianbai wouldn’t have recognized that this was Li Changqing. He had originally wanted him to leave first, but this guy actually had the guts to come and save him.
At the same time, Xue Qianbai looked at the seven swords in the sky, his heart was also quite shocked. He had underestimated Li Changqing’s Divine Soul, he could actually control seven swords.
It was truly astonishing. But before Xue Qianbai could recover from his surprise, the next scene shocked all the strong people in the North Cold Country.
The seven swords came together and actually formed a Sword Formation in mid-air! The sword aura was surging, and the seven swords returned to one, blooming like a blue lotus.
The astonishing killing intent was like a surging sea sweeping across the sky. Even the strong people in the royal family of the North Cold Country were shocked by this sword aura and woke up from their meditation.
“This sword aura…”
“Impossible!” One figure after another broke out of their meditation. Because they had actually felt the aura of the Seven Killings Blue Lotus Sword Formation.
The sword aura bloomed like a blue lotus, instantly intensifying several times and rushing forward. It directly shattered Zhao Beiming’s Wave Tide, and the giant snake was instantly destroyed in the blue lotus sword aura!
Zhao Beiming stepped back several steps, his face changing drastically as he saw the blue lotus descending, wanting to envelop him!
Zhao Beiming’s body shook, and he unleashed his Hunyuan Qi, the spear light piercing the sky and earth, directly colliding with the blue lotus sword aura.
The terrifying sword qi swept Zhao Beiming up, and he never expected that the opponent would single-handedly deploy the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation.
“Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation!”
“It’s the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation!” The North Cold Country was in an uproar. This sword formation once protected their country.
Ever since the Qinglian Sword Sect was destroyed, no one could deploy the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation, because this formation was unique to the Qinglian Sword Sect. Not to mention that the seven swords of the Qinglian Seven Sons were gone, this formation had long been lost.
The story of the Qinglian Seven Sons killing the Great Martial Sect with the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation is still circulating. They naturally knew the terror of this formation.
Now that they saw the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation reappear, how could they not be shocked?
“Boom!” With a loud noise, Zhao Beiming, wielding the Nine True Spear, broke through Li Changqing’s Qinglian sword qi and directly broke the sword formation.
But at this moment, Zhao Beiming’s appearance was extremely disheveled! His black armor was shattered, his long hair was flying, the muscles of his upper body were exposed, and there were small wounds on them. He was panting heavily, staggering back a few steps, his expression filled with deep fear!
Obviously, the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation had given Zhao Beiming a hard time. Even the man and the old man in black on the tower couldn’t sit still, and the two of them leaped over from afar.
Feeling the aura of these two people, Xue Qianbai and Li Changqing also looked over, and among the newcomers was a Grandmaster.
“Zhang Yuanzhi.”
“Yin Fengqi.” Seeing the two, Xue Qianbai said indifferently.
“Greetings to His Majesty!” Many experts saw the man and knelt down respectfully.
“Haha, greetings to His Majesty.” Zhao Beiming also laughed at this time, but he did not kneel down, just respectfully saluted.
“This is Yin Fengqi?” Li Changqing looked at the man and was also shocked in his heart. He was indeed extraordinary and had the aura of a superior.
He even had a kind of imperial aura on him. This ruthless man who had once profited from the dispute between the clam and the snipe, and had the Qishan Ghost Lord kill the Qinglian Seven Sons with a single Qishan Order.
He really didn’t look simple.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” The seven swords dispersed and flew back to Li Changqing’s side, hovering around him.
At this moment, all eyes were on Li Changqing, and everyone was guessing his identity, but they couldn’t figure out who he was.
How could he have these seven swords, and even know the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation. Xue Qianbai also looked at Li Changqing at this moment, did he just suspect that this person was really Li Changqing?
If he remembered correctly, Li Changqing had just received the “Seven Killings Qinglian Diagram” last night. In one night, Li Changqing had actually comprehended the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation?
And looking at the battle with Zhao Beiming just now, Xue Qianbai could also see that this Qinglian Seven Killings Sword Formation was not fully formed, it was just a prototype, but it was also incredibly powerful.
If it was a mature Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation, Zhao Beiming would not have been able to escape so easily just now, and even Zhao Beiming’s terrifying defense would have been peeled off.
“Do you want to continue?” Li Changqing looked at Zhao Beiming and said.
“No more, no more.” Zhao Beiming laughed and said, “Because time is up.”
“Time?” Li Changqing was surprised, what time? Zhao Beiming pointed to the sun and said, “It’s time, I have to get off work, I have to go home and cook for my wife later.”
“Ah, my clothes are in this state, I’m going to be nagged again later.” Zhao Beiming frowned and said, then jumped off the roof.
Li Changqing was stunned. Off work? Can you play like this? But looking at the people around him, no one seemed surprised, as if they were used to this situation.
“Elder.” At this time, Yin Fengqi stepped forward and said to Li Changqing, “I don’t know who the elder is? Why can you use the Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation of the Qinglian Sword Sect?”
“What sword formation I can use has nothing to do with you, right?” Li Changqing naturally wouldn’t say it clearly.
“Elder misunderstood.” Yin Fengqi didn’t get angry, just smiled and said, “Elder’s cultivation is extraordinary, Yin just admires elder very much, so he wants to know elder’s name.”
“My name…” Li Changqing said indifferently, “My name is Li Taibai.” Hearing this name, Xue Qianbai wanted to roll his eyes at Li Changqing, why did he use the word ‘white’ like himself?
“Li Taibai?” The people present looked at each other, they had never heard this name.
“People gave me a nickname, Qinglian Sword Sovereign, that’s me.” Li Changqing snorted. This sentence made people’s eyes widen.
Sword Sovereign? Xue Qianbai felt that Li Changqing was completely shameless. Sword Sovereign was a title for sword masters, which was given by the strong people of the Cangyuan Realm after they had fame and strength, and almost had to be recognized by the world.
You are good, you just took it yourself. But thinking of Li Changqing’s Seven Killings Qinglian Sword Formation just now, Xue Qianbai felt that it was not a problem for Li Changqing to call himself Sword Sovereign.
Just by controlling seven swords by himself and deploying the sword formation alone, saying that he is the Sword Sovereign does not discredit the Sword Sovereign.
“So it’s Elder Qinglian Sword Sovereign, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Yin Fengqi said politely. Even Zhang Yuanzhi next to him also bowed his fist.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, just the sword formation that Li Changqing deployed just now is enough to qualify him as a Sword Sovereign.
“I just happened to pass by and saw Zhao Beiming bullying a fellow swordsman, so I couldn’t help but intervene. Now that everything is settled, I’m ready to leave.” Li Changqing’s gaze swept over the crowd.
“Or… is there anyone else who wants to learn from my Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation?” As Li Changqing spoke, the seven swords began to tremble again.
At this, everyone present was taken aback.
“There’s no need.” Yin Fengqi quickly said, “Sword Venerate Qinglian’s strength is unparalleled, we are not his match.” Zhao Beiming had already been defeated, and although Zhang Yuanzhi, who was standing next to him, was also a Grandmaster, he was well aware of his limitations. He knew he was no match for Li Changqing.
Moreover, Xue Qianbai was also present. If a real fight broke out, the North Cold Country could certainly deploy its trump card, but there was no need to do so.
“However, I greatly admire Sword Venerate Qinglian’s superb swordsmanship. If there is a chance in the future, I would be honored to welcome you to the royal city of the North Cold Country.” Yin Fengqi was still extremely polite at this point.
“Alright.” After uttering this word, Li Changqing turned and left. Xue Qianbai also followed Li Changqing and left the North Cold City.
Only after the two had left did the smile on Yin Fengqi’s face slowly fade. He was quite wary of Li Changqing.
When he saw Li Changqing’s strength and the Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation, he was truly startled. He had spent a Qishan Order to kill the Seven Sons of Qinglian, eliminating his biggest problem.
Now someone had displayed the Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation again, how could he not be alarmed? He quickly inquired about Li Changqing’s identity.
He was afraid that this man was a remnant of the Qinglian Sword Sect. Fortunately, this man did not show any hostility towards the North Cold Country. As for his claim that he intervened upon seeing the two fighting, Yin Fengqi did not believe it.
In his view, this man and Xue Qianbai must know each other.
“Sword Venerate Qinglian.” Yin Fengqi looked at Zhang Yuanzhi beside him and said, “Yuanzhi, where did this Sword Venerate Qinglian come from?”
“No matter where he came from, if we can avoid offending him, we should.” Zhang Yuanzhi’s expression was solemn, “A single person controlling the Seven Kills Qinglian Sword Formation, although the formation is not yet mature, it’s truly terrifying.”
“Do you think this man has anything to do with the two who injured He’er in the black market last night?” Yin Fengqi murmured.
At this time, Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai had already left the North Cold City. Li Changqing stopped in a pavilion in the mountains and removed his mask.
Fei was already waiting here.
“You really do like to stir things up.” Xue Qianbai arrived shortly after.
