Chapter 130: Sacred Spirit Slaughter: Extinguish Heaven and Earth!

“Senior Brother Meng, good luck!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded nearby.

Meng Changqing turned his head and found it was Kong Linxue. Normally, someone like Kong Linxue, who was at the Sea Cleaving Realm, shouldn’t be here, but it was likely due to her master’s influence.

“Let’s stick to our usual way of addressing each other,” Meng Changqing wanted to call her Junior Sister Kong but found he couldn’t say it.

“Mm-hmm,” Kong Linxue also felt a bit awkward. Many people never change their forms of address because their progress didn’t usually differ much.

Someone like Meng Changqing was indeed rare.

“Good luck!” Kong Linxue’s beautiful eyes were like water, and she raised her fair fist encouragingly.

“I will,” Meng Changqing smiled slightly and then flew towards the martial arena below.

His appearance naturally attracted the attention of other elite disciples. They hadn’t forgotten the scene in the sect master’s hall a few days ago and still remembered it well.

A newly advanced disciple at the Dao Creation Realm — what exactly made the sect master praise him so highly?

They were curious to see Meng Changqing’s abilities for themselves.

As Meng Changqing descended, someone from Flame Sun Valley also entered the arena quickly. It was a young man with yellow hair, around twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a red robe and emanating flames, exuding immense pressure.

“Isn’t that Jie Luo, ranked twenty-seventh on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?”

“What’s going on today? Why are these powerful individuals coming out so early? I thought they’d be saving the best for last.”

“Anyone in the top thirty is a top martial artist who has comprehended martial qi, incredibly formidable. I wonder who his opponent will be.”

People buzzed with discussion. Then a sword light fell into the arena.

“Who’s that? He looks unfamiliar.”

Meng Changqing’s appearance left many people puzzled. They searched their minds but couldn’t recall seeing him in the top thirty rankings. So, he must be from the later ranks. Moreover, Meng Changqing’s cultivation surprised them — Dao Creation Realm, second level? Was this a joke?

For such a battle among top elites, the Tai Xuan Sect was sending a disciple at the second level of the Dao Creation Realm? This seemed like giving the other two sects an easy win.

“Wait, isn’t he the one who recently defeated two Flame Sun Valley disciples and ranked thirty-eighth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?”

“Apparently, he had mastered sword qi while still in the Sea Cleaving Realm!”

Someone suddenly spoke up, and others began to remember.

“So, it’s him.”

“I didn’t expect him to advance to the Dao Creation Realm so quickly.”

Everyone was enlightened. No wonder the sect would send him to participate in the martial meet. Possessing martial qi indeed qualified him to handle most ordinary elites.

“What a pity, meeting a top thirty elite so early.”

Some sighed. Martial qi was a crushing force against ordinary warriors, but any top elite had it. Moreover, their cultivation was higher, and their true essence was stronger. How could he win?

“Yeah, it looks like the Tai Xuan Sect will have their first eliminated disciple.”

In the previous matches, the Tai Xuan Sect had all wins and no losses.

The discussions seemed to have already decided Meng Changqing’s defeat.

“Damn it, these guys don’t have any faith in our young master,” a Meng family member grumbled, feeling uncomfortable. Though the comments made sense, hearing them was still irritating.

“Young master, good luck!” A female family member stood up, blushing, and shouted loudly. Seeing this, other family members also stood up to cheer for their young master.

This scene drew the attention of those around, surprised that Meng Changqing’s family was present.

Feeling their presence, Meng Changqing looked towards the stands and saw his family and his aunt sitting in the front row.

His eyes flickered.

“The family came, but why didn’t the sect inform me?” Meng Changqing didn’t think much of it, but a smile appeared on his face.

This was good. He could show his aunt his current strength.

“So you’re the one who defeated my junior brother Cui Qian?” Jie Luo’s eyes darkened as he heard the voices around.

“Indeed,” Meng Changqing slightly raised an eyebrow.

So, defeating the small fry brought the big fish.

“Your strength is decent, but your luck is bad meeting me. Today, you’ll be defeated here,” Jie Luo said slowly. “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you too badly during the martial meet, but you’ll still suffer as a lesson.”

Meng Changqing was speechless. He had only responded with a word so far, while this guy had said a lot, exuding confidence just like Xu You and Cui Qian had before.

“You people from Flame Sun Valley are really alike,” Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

“Alike in what way?” Jie Luo frowned.

“Arrogance,” Meng Changqing replied, his words causing a hush to fall over the crowd.

Jie Luo took a deep breath, his eyes growing colder. “I hope your strength matches your mouth!”

Boom!

Jie Luo instantly made his move, seemingly eager to end Meng Changqing swiftly to quell his displeasure.

“Divine Fire Bathing the Sun: Great Sun Scorching Heaven!”

Boundless flames surged from Jie Luo’s palms, transforming into two blazing suns. The extreme heat scorched the air, and if not for the protective formations around, the spectators would be affected.

“The Divine Fire Bathing the Sun Palm, a high-level Earth-grade martial skill from Flame Sun Valley. Its power is immense, and Jie Luo’s mastery is at perfection.”

“Now Meng Changqing has no chance of winning.”

Many in the stands shook their heads. Jie Luo’s skill had recently been at the mastery stage, but now it was perfected.

“Kneel!” Jie Luo pressed his palms forward, the momentum vast and overwhelming.

The two blazing suns grew larger, descending towards Meng Changqing. Such an attack, if not evaded, would likely result in severe injury.

“Truly a top thirty expert, his strength is indeed formidable,” Meng Changqing thought as he stood his ground, his right hand on his sword hilt.

This was his strongest opponent so far.

Ordinary techniques wouldn’t suffice. He had to use his trump card.

Closing his eyes momentarily, Meng Changqing reopened them, his demeanor transforming dramatically as if a slaughter master had descended.

Boom!

An immense, terrifying killing intent surged to the sky, tearing apart the surrounding heat waves, turning the area cold and desolate.

“Sacred Spirit Slaughter: Extinguish Heaven and Earth!”

Meng Changqing’s eyes were emotionless. He raised his right hand, two fingers forming a sword, with terrifying energy swirling in his fingertip.

Boom!

The next second, gray light surged, forming a gigantic sword reaching the sky.

As it appeared, the killing intent became almost tangible, shaking the entire arena, the protective formations creaking as if they might give way.

Slash!

The enormous sword cleaved through the two blazing suns, unstoppable and overwhelming, then continued towards Jie Luo.
