"Boom-"

The next moment, an astonishing column of water rose from Ruan Manqiu's hand, and the sound of the water roared, as if a giant dragon was roaring.

The column of water was wrapped in great power, and it was close to the water, and the air seemed to be torn apart wherever it passed.

In the face of the thunderous blow, Shui Qing seemed calm.

He smiled slightly, waved his hands lightly, pinched the seal, and a wall of water rose out of thin air, crystal clear and sparkling.

"Bump—"

The wall of water meets the column of water, colliding violently.

Although the water column is powerful, it is powerless under the obstruction of the water wall, and the latter is like a strong fortress, steadily blocking the former.

The surface of the wall of water is just ripples.

Seeing this, Ruan Manqiu showed a look of surprise on his face.

She didn't expect her attack to be defused so easily.

Shui Qing, on the other hand, still maintained an indifferent smile, as if all this was under control.

However, Shui Qing did not stop because of this, he continued to pinch the seal with both hands, and an even more powerful aura erupted from his body.

Immediately afterward, his figure seemed to merge with the surrounding water waves, making it difficult to distinguish.

A huge anaconda of nearly 100 zhang rose from behind Shui Qing, its body coiled like a dragon, and its eyes were blazing, exuding monstrous might.

On the anaconda's body, the broken yuan pattern looms, revealing a mysterious aura.

He opened his mouth and inhaled it suddenly, and the surrounding water vapor was instantly inhaled into his abdomen.

Then, it lunged towards Ruan Manqiu, as fast as lightning.

Ruan Manqiu felt the powerful pressure emanating from the anaconda, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly urged the yuan force in his body, condensing a solid water curtain to protect him.

Above the water curtain, there are also broken yuan patterns emerging, flashing with a faint light, as if competing with the power of the anaconda.

"Bang-"

The huge anaconda controlled by Shui Qing collided with the water curtain fiercely, erupting into astonishing energy fluctuations, shaking the surrounding space as if it were trembling.

Although the water curtain is tough, under the fierce attack of the anaconda, subtle cracks gradually appear.

The rifts spread like spider webs, weakening the water curtain's defenses.

Ruan Manqiu's face showed an anxious look, she knew that she was definitely not Shui Qing's opponent.

As the Great Elder of the Water Cloud Peak of the Tianyun Sect, Shui Qing's strength is unfathomable.

Suddenly, Ruan Manqiu bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of essence blood gushed out.

The essence blood turned into a dazzling red light in the air, and instantly merged into the water curtain.

With the integration of essence and blood, the water curtain seemed to be endowed with new powers, and suddenly became indestructible.

The anaconda's attacks hit the water curtain again and again, but it was no longer able to break through its defenses.

Each impact made the water curtain tremble slightly, but it never managed to break it.

Seeing this, Shui Qing's heart sank.

He didn't expect Ruan Manqiu to be so desperate that he would not hesitate to lose his essence blood to strengthen his defense.

Shui Qing took a deep breath, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, urging Yuan Li to push the anaconda attack to a new level.

The anaconda tossed and jumped in the air, drawing an afterimage in the air, and each attack was like a landslide and tsunami, shaking the surrounding space trembling.

Ruan Manqiu's face was as pale as paper, he clenched his teeth, and tried his best to maintain the defense of the water curtain.

But as time passed, she could feel the power in her body draining rapidly, and the strength of her essence and blood began to become overstretched.

"Bang-"

Finally, in an even more violent impact, the water curtain could no longer support it and shattered.

Debris splattered in all directions, turning into a mist that filled the air.

The anaconda took the opportunity to bite Ruan Manqiu, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

Although Ruan Manqiu tried his best to dodge, he was still half a beat slower after all.

The anaconda's huge mouth bit at her chest, and its sharp teeth instantly pierced through her clothes and into her skin.

"Ahh

Ruan Manqiu let out a terrible scream, and the whole person flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a sharp pain in her chest, and she looked down, only to see that her chest had been torn open by a python, and blood was dripping and staining her clothes red.

At this moment, the anaconda also dissipated after this blow because of the exhaustion of energy.

Ruan Manqiu's eyes revealed a hint of determination, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and his wrist shook quickly.

I saw a cold light flash, and a long sword had already appeared in her hand.

The long sword is like a pool of autumn water, the sword body is cold and deep, and it seems to contain infinite power.

"You're still going to fight?"

Above the sky, Shui Qing's face was gloomy, and he shouted coldly.

There was unmistakable majesty in his voice, as if questioning a disobedient child.

"What?

"The Great Elder is scared?"

Ruan Manqiu sneered, her eyes flashing with an unyielding light.

Although she was injured, at this moment, she seemed to be incarnated as an unyielding female god of war, determined to fight Shui Qing to the end.

Hearing this, Shui Qing saw a murderous intent in his eyes, and slowly took out a heavy sword.

The heavy sword seems to be composed of dozens of pieces of thousand-year-old ice, and the sword body is thick and indestructible, exuding a cold aura.

He gripped the hilt of his sword as if he wanted to pour all his strength into it.

The wind and clouds surged, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force seemed to be attracted to this area.

The battle intent between the two grew stronger, as if they were about to tear the sky apart.

Ruan Manqiu stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and suddenly his body shot into the sky.

She waved the sword in her hand and pointed it straight at the sky.

Every time the sword is swung, it carries a piercing chill, turning into a cold light, sharp and fast.

Shui Qing stepped on the void, stood steadily, swung the heavy sword, and the swordsmanship opened and closed, and every swing carried the momentum of thunder.

"Bang bang bang-"

The figures of the two were staggered in the air, and the sword light and sword shadow were intertwined.

Every time the blades collided, it was like a thunderbolt exploding, and the waves of qi stirred up were like a violent storm, roaring and devouring everything around them.

Although Ruan Manqiu's swordsmanship was erratic, in front of Shui Qing's long sword, which was as heavy as a mountain, the former's offensive always seemed a little weak.

Her figure fluttered in the air, like a dead leaf about to be blown up by a strong wind, and every time the old man's sword qi swept by, it seemed to shake her to pieces.

However, Ruan Manqiu's face was full of perseverance and unyielding, urging the Yuan Force in his body, and the long sword danced more and more rapidly in his hand.

The sword light drew a brilliant arc in the air, like a meteor crossing the night sky, bright and dazzling.

In the face of Ruan Manqiu's crazy attack, Shui Qing's eyes flashed with vigilance, and he didn't dare to be careless.

He pushed Yuan Li to the extreme, ready to give the other party a fatal blow.

Ruan Manqiu seemed to sense Shui Qing's intentions, and his eyes flashed with determination, and he swung a sword with all his might.

This sword condenses all her yuan power and beliefs, and the sword light is dazzling, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and it is bound to break through all obstacles.

Seeing this, Shui Qing hurriedly swung his sword to meet him.

"Bang-"

The two swords collided again, and a deafening loud bang erupted.

The figures of Ruan Manqiu and Shui Qing loomed in the sword light, as if the two gods were fighting a great battle between heaven and earth.

The brilliance of Yuanli bloomed like fireworks, dyeing the entire sky in a colorful way, and faintly emerging the incomplete Yuan pattern.

"What a terrifying attack!"

Li Yuan's eyes stared intently at the two intertwined figures in the sky, his eyes full of shock.

Every time they collided, it was as if they were going to tear the space apart.

Teng Qing noticed the change in Li Yuan's expression, especially the fluctuation of the Yuan Force in the latter's hand that trembled slightly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Li Yuan, are you ready to make a move?"

"The strength of those two people is far superior to ours, if you act rashly, I'm afraid you will ......"

Li Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Teng Qing with a firm gaze: "Since you have met it, you can't stand by and watch."

"The old village chief took care of me for months, which was a lifesaver for me.

"If I can help him, I can't do it."

As he spoke, Li Yuan began to urge the Yuan Force in his body, ready to strike at any time.

He felt his heart pounding violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

In the sky, the two figures were still fighting fiercely.

Their movements were so fast that they could barely see clearly, and they could only see Dao Dao sword light flickering in the air, like lightning piercing the night sky.

Each collision of the sword light would trigger a fluctuation of Yuan Force, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

Li Yuan stared at the two figures tightly, looking for an opportunity to strike.

He knew he only had one chance and he had to take it.

"Bang-"

A deafening roar suddenly sounded from above the sky, as if the sky was falling apart.

The two long swords finally separated, each drawing a sharp arc in the air.

Ruan Manqiu only felt a huge force attacking, and the whole person flew backwards like a paper kite with a broken thread.

She tried her best to stabilize her figure, but the force was too strong, and her body rolled in the air, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Shui Qing stood in mid-air, looking at Ruan Manqiu's crumbling figure, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Ruan Family Master, it seems that your cultivation has not improved much over the years.

"I haven't even tried much force, and you're hurt like this."

Despite the murderous intent in his heart, Shui Qing did not exert his full strength.

Worried that he would kill Ruan Manqiu by mistake, in that case, the map he had in mind might never be available, and the gains outweighed the losses.

He raised the heavy sword in his hand, and the Yuan Force on the sword body surged, as if a giant dragon was roaring.

With a strong slash, a sword qi several zhang long instantly condensed, like a silver lightning bolt piercing the sky, directly attacking Ruan Manqiu.

Seeing this, Ruan Manqiu hurriedly swung his sword to resist.

However, at this moment, she was already seriously injured, and her defenses were vulnerable to Shui Qing's attack.

"Qiang—"

The sword qi slashed hard at her longsword, making a sharp metal crash.

Before Ruan Manqiu could stabilize his body, he continued to shoot backwards like an arrow from a string, drawing a straight line in the air.

Her figure pierced through several buildings one after another, and finally fell heavily into a stone building.

The stone building collapsed, burying her in it, and she immediately fell into a coma.

Shui Qing slowly fell from the sky, his eyes coldly scanning the surrounding ruins, and he approached the ruins where Ruan Manqiu was buried.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air in the ruins.

Thunder flickered in the cracks, as if there was thunder and lightning raging in them.

Immediately after, a figure stepped out of the crack.

The thunder light was dazzling, outlining the outline of a young man, wearing a blue robe, unable to see his face clearly.

The young man's gaze fell on Shui Qing, his eyes showing vigilance and hostility.

"Pattern Realm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shui Qing's eyes, as if he didn't expect this young man who suddenly appeared to be able to tear through the space.

He was stunned for an instant, the young man raised his hand and waved, and a wave of yuan force surged out, lifting the boulder that was pressing on Ruan Manqiu's body, and then squatted down and carefully picked up Ruan Manqiu.

Ruan Manqiu's face was pale at the moment, his breath was weak, and he was obviously extremely injured.

In the young man's arms, she seemed to feel a hint of warmth and security.

The young man stood up with Ruan Manqiu in his arms and looked at Shui Qing with a determined gaze.

He took one step at a time, and the space in front of him cracked again, and without the slightest hesitation, he stepped into the crack with Ruan Manqiu in his arms.

As their figures vanished, the spatial rift slowly closed, as if it had never existed.

Shui Qing stared blankly at the place where the spatial crack disappeared, and an indescribable sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

At the top of a building hundreds of feet away, thunder suddenly flashed, and a young figure appeared out of thin air.

He hugged Ruan Manqiu and stood on a high place overlooking the scene below, a pair of thunder and fire wings behind him slowly unfolded, emitting a blazing light.

The young man did not stop, his body moved, and the pair of thunder and fire wings led him to the sky, and his figure loomed in the flickering of thunder and lightning, as if a god who controlled thunder and lightning soared between heaven and earth, and finally disappeared into the sky.

All this happened in a very short period of time, and Shui Qing stood still, staring blankly at the sky.

"Damn boy, how dare you tease the old man like this!"

Shui Qing came back to his senses, his face furious like an erupting volcano.

The young man's body just now did not have the powerful aura he sensed, but it was extremely weak.

He immediately understood, and guessed that the other party was using some kind of spatial teleportation method to deliberately create a powerful atmosphere to confuse him.

As soon as Shui Qing thought that he was being teased by such a junior, the anger in his heart was like a raging flame, burning more and more.

He clenched his heavy sword, staring at the direction where the thunder light had disappeared, as if to tear the void apart.

"Search for me!

"Even if you dig three feet into the camp, you must find them for me!"

The water roared, and the sound echoed between heaven and earth like thunder.

His orders swept through the camp like a gale.

Suddenly, countless figures emerged from all directions, quickly spreading out in the direction where the thunder light disappeared.

The sky above the camp was immediately filled with an aura of tension and slaughter.

Shui Qing stood on a high place, his eyes scanning the movement below.

His heart was full of anger and unwillingness, and he vowed to find the young man and Ruan Manchu and make them pay the price they deserved.

As time went on, the search deepened, but no clues were found.

Shui Qing's face became more and more gloomy, he knew that searching aimlessly like this was not a way, and a more precise way was needed to find the hiding place of those two people.

He closed his eyes, and his soul power spread out, like an invisible net, constantly spreading, sensing the fluctuations of the space around him.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, as if sensing something.

He snapped his eyes open, his gaze shooting in one direction like lightning.

"Over there!" Shui Qing shouted in a low voice, his voice full of determination and coldness.

Following the direction of his finger, a group of figures immediately rushed forward.

Shui Qing followed, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
