Before arriving, he even specifically asked a Zhou Family inner sect disciple from Lingxiao Sect about Qin Changqing's cultivation level, confirming that it was not high, at most Tier 5 Qi-cultivating.
With such strength, even if he had a powerful magical tool bestowed by the elders, he wouldn't be able to activate it.
Thus, he had absolute confidence in defeating Qin Changqing.
He couldn't kill him, but at least he needed to suppress and flaunt the might of the Zhou Family.
However, seeing Qin Changqing taking the initiative to attack him, a cold smile appeared in Zhou Wudi's heart after the surprise. He shook his sleeve, and the long sword fell into his hand, facing Qin Changqing's sword move.
Ding——!
A crisp sound.
Zhou Wudi's wrist sank, and he was surprised to find that Qin Changqing's power in this attack was much stronger than he had expected.
Seeing another sword light coming towards him, he quickly gathered up his sword move to resist. The sword light clashed, and traces of sword qi spread out. Qin Changqing took advantage of the situation and guided Zhou Wudi to an open space not far from the Qin Mansion.
Swish swish swish!
One after another sword qi spread outward, leaving shallow sword marks on the ground.
Jin Hong hurried over and quickly called out, waving away the others to retreat so as to avoid being injured by the power exchange between the two.
"What a powerful sword technique!"
Lian Qingya looked at Qin Changqing's sword moves, her eyes filled with amazement.
"That's the Great River Sword Skill of Xuanyi Peak, drawing power from the momentum of rivers. It's said that once mastered, one can unleash three waves initially, and when fully controlled, a ten-layered wave. Each layer is more powerful than the previous one. Brother Qin's technique is already at an advanced level," Jin Hong exclaimed.
"So what if he mastered this sword technique?" Lian Qingya couldn't help but ask.
"Once mastered, the water power stacks up to thirty layers. If fully unleashed, it could defeat opponents two or three levels higher in cultivation."
Jin Hong was surprised by Qin Changqing's mastery of the Autumn Water Sword Technique.
However, he soon realized that Qin Changqing's cultivation level was even more outrageous, as his spiritual qi seemed to be no weaker than Zhou Wudi's!
Actually, Qin Changqing's only achievement after cultivating in Xuanyi Peak for so long was the Great River Sword Skill.
Divine skills started from the basic level, then progressed to proficiency, mastery, minor accomplishment, and finally major accomplishment.
However, after twenty years, he had only practiced this skill to the point of mastery, which couldn't be considered outstanding among the inner sect disciples.
But with twenty years of accumulation, combined with his current Tier 9 Qi-cultivating level, it was more than enough to deal with cultivators from low-ranking families like Zhou Wudi.
"Great River Water Comes from Heaven!"
Qin Changqing shouted, thrusting his sword. The attack resembled a surging wave, with a booming explosion sound following, as a huge force struck Zhou Wudi's sword heavily.
Clang! ~
The sword flew out of his hand, falling to the ground.
He himself was smashed down from the sky by the might of the huge wave.
"Puh~"
He spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"Patriarch!"
The faces of the disciples who accompanied Zhou Wudi showed a look of horror.
"Zhou Wudi actually lost?"
"Wasn't he already at Tier 9 Qi-cultivating? This Qin Changqing is even more powerful."
"I just observed that Qin Daoyou's cultivation level is not weaker than Zhou Wudi's. His spiritual qi is quite thick, and his sword techniques are exquisite!"
The surrounding loose cultivators discussed.
"You——" Zhou Wudi lay on the ground, looking at Qin Changqing in disbelief, "Your cultivation has actually reached Tier 9 Qi-cultivating!?"
Qin Changqing held his sword, saying indifferently, "What, is Tier 9 Qi-cultivating exclusive to your family? Only allowing you to reach that level, but not allowing others?"
"But with your level of cultivation, why would you leave the mountain?"
Zhou Wudi couldn't understand.
A man in his thirties with Tier 9 Qi-cultivating level, even if not excellent, shouldn't be driven down the mountain, should he?
"I like it, none of your business." Qin Changqing's eyes turned cold. "What I dislike most is others joking about my wife. Since you're here to challenge me, you don't have to leave!"
Qin Changqing didn't like killing.
Last time in Lingshui Valley, he helped out during the family conflict, but he only drove the Jin Family away.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't kill.
Killing and seizing treasures was normal in the world of cultivators. However, Heiyu Town, situated at the foot of Lingxiao Sect's mountain, was relatively calm.Qin Changqing didn't care about any treasure, but he did care about his wife.
After all, a man with many sons would have a prosperous life, but how could he have many sons and blessings without a wife?
Not to mention, the Minotaur must die!
From the moment Zhou Wudi announced that Shu Tian was his concubine, some things were destined to happen.
"You!"
Feeling the killing intent under Qin Changqing's sword, Zhou Wudi slapped the ground with his right hand, and his body sprang up.
Then, with a flip of his right hand, a silver short sword appeared in front of him.
The sword emitted strands of silver light and floated in the air. It was clear that it wasn't an ordinary item.
"Qin Changqing, I was wrong, and I apologize to you!" Zhou Wudi gave in.
"I accept your apology, but you still have to die."
"Then don't blame me!"
Zhou Wudi activated the hand seal, and the silver short sword suddenly bloomed with dazzling light.
"A magical tool, huh." Qin Changqing lifted his eyelid, took out the Water-Settling Mountain, and said, "What a coincidence, I have one too."
As the Water-Settling Mountain flew out and spun, Qin Changqing imprinted a spell into it and then charged towards the silver short sword.
Bang!!!
The two magical tools collided in mid-air, stirring up a wave of energy that surged outward.
In the explosion, the short sword was knocked down, and Zhou Wudi was forced to fly backward, spewing blood in mid-air!
Almost simultaneously, Qin Changqing threw his sword at Zhou Wudi's figure.
Puchi! ——
The long sword pierced through his chest, leaving him with a cold and chilling feeling, pinning him to the ground.
Zhou Wudi's eyes widened, seeming somewhat unwilling, but in the end, he tilted his head to one side and lost all signs of life.
Drip, drip.
Blood dripped down the blade.
At this moment, both mortals and cultivators fell silent.
"He.. he killed someone!!!"
There was a commotion around.
"Humph, claiming to be unbeatable, acting arrogant with weak strength. The weaker the person, the more they jump."
Qin Changqing shook his head secretly.
He put away the Water-Settling Mountain, and then confiscated Zhou Wudi's magical tool and storage bag.
Looking at the horrified and shocked people of the Zhou family in the distance, Qin Changqing said indifferently, "Go back and tell everyone that Zhou Wudi came to provoke me, so I killed him. If the Zhou family is not convinced, you can always try, but please prepare for your extermination."
The moment they heard this, the people of the Zhou family felt as if they were pardoned and fled as fast as they could.
Two days later.
The news of the battle in Heiyu Town spread quickly.
The Qin family was getting married; the old master of the Zhou family came to provoke them and ended up getting a hole pierced in his body with a sword.
For a time, Qin Changqing's reputation became well-known.
People finally understood that the daoist who was sent to stay at Xuanyi Peak seemed harmless, but was actually frighteningly powerful.
His Water-Settling Mountain alone was enough to defeat the Zhou family. They suffered a huge loss and their old master died, but they could do nothing but swallow their anger.
Fortunately, Liu Town was far away from Heiyu Town, so they didn't need to worry about Qin Changqing's pursuit for now.
Of course, Qin Changqing didn't have that plan for the time being.
Killing Zhou Wudi, the Zhou family would not dare and could not retaliate.
But if he started a massacre, not to mention the endless revenge he might face once someone escaped, even the inner sect disciple of Lingxiao Sect would become troublesome.
The Lingxiao Sect was a Tier 5 sect, and those who could enter the inner sect for cultivation were all talented and powerful.
For now, he was still not strong enough. Mo Jiuzhou could protect him for a while but not forever.
So there was no need to hurry.
When he and his wives had given birth to hundreds or thousands of children, it wouldn't be too late to claim himself as unbeatable then.
