Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 320

Looking at the injured beauty, Shen Qing's expression was indifferent and he wasn't surprised at all. This was because he expected this to happen.

He was born in the Sacred Heart Region and had an eighth level cultivation. He knew very well what level of strength he could exert.

Instead, it was the woman in front of him who surprised him.

Even if he held back earlier, logically, his opponent, who was only at tier six, should not be able to withstand his attacks and would be in a miserable state.

After all, not only was there a status difference between the two of them, but there was also a two-level gap in cultivation.

Even so, his opponent showed no signs of being in a sorry state. Only when he did not hold back did his defeat become clear.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Qing suddenly understood. Perhaps this was the reason why Zhou Ling liked the woman in front of him?

At their level, beauty was one of the reasons to choose a cultivation partner, but most of the time, it also depended on the talent and strength of the cultivation partner.

Returning to the topic, looking at Yan Ningzhu, who was stumbling backwards, Shen Qing raised his hand and shouted coldly, "Give Fire Pearls!"

At this point, his opponent should have already understood the distance between them. Shen Qing thought that Yan Ningzhu might hand over the Flame Pearl.

However, Shen Qing did not expect that even so, the girl's pale face was still unwilling to admit defeat. His expression seemed to have secretly told him that if he wanted to obtain the Flame Pearl, he would have to walk past his corpse.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Qing sighed. He had to admit that women with such temperaments were extremely outstanding.

However, it was a pity that he had to obtain the Flame Pearl. Therefore, she could not be gentle with him today.

As he sighed, Shen Qing's eyes slowly formed ghost runes. As it gathered, a powerful aura spread from its body. It was the power of spiritual runes!

Since his opponent insisted on not handing over the Flame Pearl, there was nothing he could say. He could only severely injure her and take out the Flame Pearl itself.

"Fire-binding Runes!"

An indifferent voice sounded from Shen Qing's mouth. After which, spirit runes appeared in the sky above his head.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Shen Qing used his third spirit rune from the very beginning.

The immense pressure from the spirit runes spread out. On those mysterious runes, there was a red flame burning like blood.

Not to mention how majestic the spirit rune was, if it wanted to launch an attack, no matter how powerful the spirit rune was, it could only be crushed and incinerated into ashes endlessly.

When the Runes appeared above Shen Qing's head, how could Yan Ningzhu not feel the powerful might of the Runes?

But even so, he did not back down. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to activate the power of the spirit runes in his body, gathering them into third spirit runes in the depths of his dantian.

He had only condensed three spirit runes, and this was the strongest!

"Great Cold Spirit Runes!"

His lips that seemed to be covered in blood, gnashed his teeth firmly. As the stubborn voice of a woman rang out, faint blue spirit runes appeared in the sky.

Those faint blue spirit runes were like fairies wandering between heaven and earth. It was condensed with a pure aura of Cold Spirit. The freezing power contained within such spirit runes was probably unrivalled in the world.

Nevertheless, when the two spirit runes collided in the sky, the runes belonging to Yan Ningzhu were the first to show signs of defeat.

Yan Ningzhu was unwilling to accept this, but she could not do anything about it. He knew that Shen Qing might condense the fourth spirit rune. Hence, even if they collided with the third spirit rune against each other, he was still inferior in terms of foundation.

At this moment, Yan Ningzhu wished she could be given more time. If he had more time, he might be able to condense the fourth spirit rune of the inheritance he received. And if he condensed the fourth spirit rune, he wouldn't be too weak!

It is a pity that there is nothing in this world. When the signs of defeat appeared, Yan Ningzhu could not hold on any longer.

When his Runenya was defeated, he also vomited blood and flew backwards in a sorry state.

It looks like he is completely useless…!

After flying backwards for a while, the sorry state that Yan Ningzhu wanted to land on the ground did not appear. Just as he was feeling confused, a familiar aura suddenly entered his nose. It made his face, which was on the verge of despair, reveal an expression of disbelief.

When he saw this familiar face of his, Yan Ningzhu was unable to use words to describe his emotions.

He seemed to be yearning, surprised, but also sad and scared.

Compared to Yan Ningzhu, the owner of this face only had one emotion in his heart, and it was an overwhelming anger.

Yan Chutian, who had just escaped from the stone forest and climbed to the top of the mountain, saw Yan Ningzhu flying backwards and spewing blood before he had time to rejoice.

In an instant, Yan Chutian could not control his emotions. It was as if a terrifying fury had accumulated in his heart, ready to erupt at any moment.

However, no matter how much anger he had, Yan Chutian could not help but fury when he saw that pale face. He said softly.

"Nrt ... Miss Yan, recover well. Leave this guy to me!"

Yan Ningzhu naturally would not reject Yan Chutian. Or rather, he did not know when it had started, but he no longer rejected it.

Seeing this, Yan Chutian carefully lowered Yan Ningzhu. He then raised his head and revealed a sharp and cold gaze, sweeping towards Shen Qing.

The sudden appearance of this figure made Shen Qing even more unhappy. After which, the other party even used such a gaze to sweep over him. Shen Qing could not help but laugh in anger. He laughed coldly and said, "Did you say that you want to deal with me?"

“Haha... so what if I?!”

Due to the anger in his heart, Yan Chutian shouted coldly. He did not say anything more and immediately fired. The majestic Spiritual Energy gathered into a fist and violently punched the other party's chest.

Shen Qing could clearly see that Yan Chutian was merely a Level Five cultivator. However, a Level Five cultivator actually dared to take the initiative to attack him. He could not help but want to laugh to the sky.

"You're chasing death!"

While he was laughing coldly in his heart, he shouted furiously at the surface. He raised his hand and punched towards Yan Chutian.

The two punches collided after a while.

At this moment, Yan Ningzhu did not care to recover. Her beautiful eyes stared at the center of the collision, unwilling to blink.

And the result of this fist fight, Yan Chutian, who had always taken him by surprise, did not disappoint him.

After the collision of the two punches, the two took a few steps back. In other words, they are balanced.

This situation made Yan Ningzhu happy, or rather, she was expecting it. However, to Shen Qing, it was an unbelievable sight.

How could he believe that a Level Five cultivator who suddenly appeared could unleash such a powerful punch?

"Who are you?!"

His gaze immediately led to Yan Chutian. How could Shen Qing still underestimate him? However, Yan Chutian did not even need to answer. Seeing this face, he suddenly thought of something. "You are the reckless disciple of the Tianji Sect, Yan Chu ?!"

Clearly, Shen Qing's knowledge of Yan Chutian came from news that spread like wildfire in Zhongyuan City.

It was even easier to understand that he was careless. Perhaps to the other party, he was looking to die for daring to fight against Zhou Ling and even fighting over a woman.

Hearing this, even though Yan Chutian was unhappy with such a description, he did not refute it. It could be considered that he had indirectly accepted this identity.

Seeing Yan Chutian's tacit confession, Shen Qing's initially incredulous expression inevitably became curious.

Come to think of it, Zhou Ling was the young master of the Fire Xuan Region. Even his own status in the Sacred Heart Region could not compare to Zhou Ling. However, one day, a disciple from the second-rate army dared to fight over a woman with Zhou Ling. How could he not be curious?

Originally, Shen Qing thought that the rumored Yan Chu was really just a fool who did not know the difference between life and death. However, after the fight earlier, he seemed to change his mind.

After all, the strength the other party displayed was not something a Level Five cultivator could possess. Seeing this, he naturally believed that Yan Chutian should have the ability.

However, even so, Shen Qing still did not believe that the other party could actually go against Zhou Ling. This was because even he did not think that he could win against Zhou Ling.

Although the two of them were geniuses from the Five Great Regions, Shen Qing knew that there was a difference between a disciple and a young master.
