Chapter 153: Mysterious Ruler - Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!!
Li Qiankun suddenly became silent, his brows furrowed, as if he was sensing something.
Zhang Chulan's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Qian Kun, what's wrong? You seem a little uneasy."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun slowly raised his head, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
He whispered, "Danger is approaching, everyone be careful."
As Li Qiankun finished speaking, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone stood up and looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, a black shadow emerged from the darkness like a ghost and headed straight towards Li Qiankun.
The shadow was so fast that it was almost impossible to see its shape. Li Qiankun's eyes were stern, and he prepared to fight.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Li Qiankun and the black shadow crossed each other in the air, stirring up a strong air wave.
The moment the two landed, dust flew up, shrouding the surrounding scenery in a blur.
When the dust settled, everyone could see the true face of the black shadow.
I saw a masked man dressed in black, with a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with a cold light.
Li Qiankun stood firm, staring coldly at the masked man in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why did you suddenly attack me?"
The masked man didn't answer, but sneered. He flashed again and launched an even more fierce attack on Li Qiankun. The black ruler in his hand danced in the air like a dragon, and each strike contained a powerful killing force, heading straight for Li Qiankun's vital points.
Faced with the fierce attack of the masked man, Li Qiankun did not retreat.
He took a deep breath and moved across the battlefield like a ghost, skillfully dodging the opponent's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. However, as time went on, Li Qiankun gradually discovered that the strength of this masked man was far beyond his imagination, and every sword strike made him feel more pressured.
At this moment, Li Qiankun's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered his Xuan Zhong ruler.
He slowly pulled out the Xuanzhong Ruler, which was over three feet long and glowed with a faint cold light, as if imbued with endless murderous intent. As the Xuanzhong Ruler was unsheathed, Li Qiankun's aura instantly reached its peak, and his entire demeanor became fierce and cold.
Zhang Lingyu was watching this scene from the side and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Qian Kun, what are you doing..."
Li Qiankun didn't turn around, but said in a deep voice: "Lingyu, keep an eye on the others and don't let anyone get close to Baoer."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time glanced around vigilantly to make sure there was no other threat.
However, just as Li Qiankun was about to launch another attack, a vicissitudes and mysterious voice suddenly came from the corridor. This voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, containing endless mystery and majesty.
Wang Ye frowned. He recognized the sound of Wudang Dao, and it was mingled with an indescribable, strange aura. A thought struck him, and he exclaimed, "It's Zhou Sheng! How could he be here?"
Zhou Sheng, this name was not unfamiliar to him. Back when he was learning martial arts in Wudang Mountain.
However, he suddenly disappeared later and no one saw him again.
Now, Zhou Sheng actually appeared at this time, and Li Qiankun couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
He stared intently at the corridor outside when he saw a thin, tall, and upright figure slowly walk in. The man had a goat-horned beard and was dressed in a Taoist robe. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through all illusions.
"Zhou Sheng, it's you." Li Qiankun said in a deep voice, with a hint of vigilance and hostility in his tone.
Zhou Sheng looked at Li Qiankun with a hint of smile in his eyes.
He said slowly, "Young man, your strength is great, but you are still too young in front of me. I am not here today to fight you, but I have more important things to do."
Li Qiankun frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What's the matter? If you dare to do anything bad to Bao'er, I will never let you go."
Zhou Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in that little girl. I came here today to retrieve something that belongs to me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful force instantly rushed towards Li Qiankun.
This force was powerful and mysterious, as if it contained endless power, making Li Qiankun feel a strong sense of oppression.
Li Qiankun took a deep breath and mobilized all his strength to counter Zhou Sheng's power. However, despite his best efforts, he was still unable to withstand Zhou Sheng's attack. He stumbled back a few steps, his face turning pale and ugly.
"You...what exactly do you want to do?" Li Qiankun asked, panting.
Zhou Sheng looked at Li Qiankun with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He said, "You are not yet qualified to know my plan. However, I can tell you that the mark on that little girl is related to what I am looking for. Therefore, you'd better not act rashly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
When Li Qiankun heard this, he remembered the mark on Baoer's neck.
He stared at Zhou Sheng closely, with a determined light in his eyes.
He said, “Zhou Sheng, I don’t care what your purpose is, but if you dare to attack Bao’er, I will never let you go.
Zhou Sheng looked at Li Qiankun.
He smiled slightly and said, "Young man, courage is a good thing. But you must also know that strength is the most important thing. You are not qualified to compete with me yet."
As he spoke, he raised his hand again and waved it, and an even more powerful force instantly rushed towards Li Qiankun. This time, Li Qiankun was no longer able to resist.
He only felt a powerful force that lifted him up and sent him flying, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Li Qiankun lay on the ground and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
He felt as if his internal organs were shattered, the pain was unbearable. However, even so, he still stared at Zhou Sheng closely, without a trace of retreat or fear in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye and others had already rushed to Li Qiankun's side. They looked at Li Qiankun's embarrassed appearance, and their hearts were filled with anger and worry.
Wang Ye also clenched his fists tightly and said, "Grandmaster Zhou Sheng! What are you doing???"
Zhou Sheng looked at the angry faces of the crowd and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He said, "You think you can challenge me? That's ridiculous."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it again, and a powerful force instantly enveloped him.
Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
At this moment, Li Qiankun instantly swung out the Xuanzhong ruler and hit the Flame-Splitting Wave Ruler, and thick smoke rose in an instant.
Everyone exclaimed in shock that anyone of them would have been killed by this blow long ago.
But there was no trace of slackness in Li Qiankun's eyes. He could clearly feel that the attack did not hit the target completely.
Only a sound could be heard slowly coming from the thick fog.
