From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

Although Marquis North cloud’s position was to manage the North cloud Manor, the North cloud Manor was actually subordinate to the Imperial court.

Kill the demons.

That was the Imperial court’s business.

Any expenses incurred during this period would naturally be paid by the Imperial court.

What Marquis northcloud needed to do was to report the matter as it was.

At most.

The North cloud Manor could pay the three hundred spirit stones first, and the Imperial court could pay later.

If Qin shujian hadn’t used the power of the array, Marquis northcloud wouldn’t have been so confident that he could have killed the blood flame fiend so quickly and so easily.

No matter what.

He was also an expert at the ninth level of celestial realm.

Even if it was weak, it couldn’t be destroyed with a wave of the hand.

The Imperial court was a large organization, and even though three hundred spirit stones was not a small sum, it would not be a problem for the Imperial court to fork out such a sum.

Moreover ...

Marquis northcloud was certain that human Emperor must have obtained the legacy of the heavenly court.

The treasures of the ancient celestial heavens might not have all fallen into the hands of the human Emperor, but he had still benefited greatly.

A few hundred spirit stones.

That was just a small matter.

After returning to Marquis northcloud’s residence, Marquis northcloud immediately took out 305 spirit stones from the warehouse and handed them to Qin shujian.

sect leader Qin, here are 305 spirit stones. You can count them.

there’s no need for that. We can still trust Marquis northcloud for such a small matter.

Qin shujian looked at the spirit stones on the table. He smiled and put them away in his storage ring.

This time, he did not gain much from clearing out the remaining demons in North cloud Manor. He was merely accompanying the other party as a formality.

Marquis northcloud said, ” sect master Qin’s contribution can not be denied for the eradication of the evil demons in the North cloud Manor. In the future, if you need Marquis northcloud Manor’s help, feel free to ask. I will definitely help if I can.

with Marquis northcloud’s words, this trip will not be in vain.

Qin shujian cupped his hands and said.

He looked at Marquis northcloud and suddenly changed the topic. I do have something that I would like to trouble Marquis northcloud with.

“What’s the matter?”

“I would like to experience the methods of an Almighty!” Qin shujian spoke word by word.

Marquis northcloud’s expression turned solemn.

He looked at Qin shujian’s expression and wanted to see if he was serious or just joking.

After a while.

your Foundation is very strong, ” Marquis northcloud said. although you’re only at the first level of the celestial realm, I can sense the power contained in your body. It’s not weaker than the second or third level of the celestial realm.

but you have to understand that no matter if it’s the second or third level of celestial realm, strictly speaking, it’s only the transcendent realm.

only after the transcendent realm is the Saint realm. Above the Saint realm is the Almighty.

He was telling Qin shujian.

Even peak transcendents could be killed with a wave of their hands in front of powerful beings.

Qin shujian said seriously, ” ever since I broke through to the celestial realm, I’ve fought against du Chengwu and Shen Hong. Du Chengwu was at the peak of his strength. He was very strong. I was no match for him even with the help of my formation.

However, I didn’t get to experience much during that battle. When I fought du Chengwu after that, he was in a seriously injured state and I killed him in the end.”

I’ve already experienced the strength of transcendent and Saint level experts, but to be honest, I want to broaden my horizons!

When the human Emperor formed the celestial heavens, he had once transformed into a divine general of the celestial heavens and obtained power that far exceeded his own.

However, at that time.

Qin shujian did not have much time for him to comprehend.

He wasn’t sure how strong or weak that power was compared to an Almighty.

The three major continents were about to open.

Qin shujian was sure that there were powerful beings in the other three continents.

Sooner or later, he would also encounter such a strong person.

At that time.

If they weren’t a match for him, they would be defeated.

&Nbsp; so,

Qin shujian wanted to experience Marquis northcloud’s strength. It was also a good opportunity for him to understand how big of a gap there was between him and a mighty figure. He wanted to know if it was truly to the extent that he couldn’t make up for it.

If that was the case, he would have to be prepared if he were to encounter such a strong opponent in the future.

His gaze fell on Qin shujian.

Marquis northcloud finally nodded and said calmly, “”If you insist, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

...

Thank you, Marquis northcloud.

let’s go. If a powerful being makes a move, it will cause too much of a commotion. Let’s go outside and find a suitable place. Marquis northcloud got up and walked outside.

Qin shujian also stood up and left with the other party.

The two of them left the city without informing anyone.

However, when the stream of light cut through the sky above Zong yang city, a doubt emerged in the hearts of those who noticed it.

Marquis northcloud had left Zong yang city again.

In the past, Marquis North cloud would stay in Zong yang city for a few years without taking a single step out of the city. However, he was leaving the city one after another now, which made many people bewildered.

Marquis northcloud has left the city again!

the last time Marquis North cloud left the city, he wiped out all the demons in North cloud Manor. Why is he leaving the city this time? ”

I don’t know. The person who left with Marquis northcloud should be Qin shujian!

Their divine senses interweaved, and many experts whispered among themselves.

...

Apart from Marquis North cloud, Qin shujian was the only other person in North cloud Manor who could ignore Zong yang city’s sealing formation.

The others.

He couldn’t do that.

Qin shujian saw the savage-looking heads that had been abandoned outside the city after he left Zong yang city.

Even now, the head was still filled with intent, and blood was still seeping out of the wound.

The head of a Deva-level Greater Demon!

Qin shujian immediately confirmed the identity of the head.

In the past, Marquis North cloud had gone deep into the endless Mountains and killed a Deva-level human demon with lightning speed. He had even thrown his head outside Zong yang city, shocking the demon race all over the world.

According to the rules of this world, experts who were killed would usually return to the world.

The fact that the great heavenly demon’s head had been left there without any change proved that it was Marquis northcloud’s spoils of war.

Deva-level great demon.

Even if he died, he still had his might.

An expert who had reached this stage was already extremely terrifying.

Qin shujian could sense a terrifying saber Qi from the wound on his head when he saw the neat and smooth cut.

“This Deva-level Greater Demon was killed by a single Saber Strike!”

Qin shujian thought to himself.

If he remembered correctly, Marquis North cloud still had a bronze battle saber in his hand. It was a six-seal Dao weapon.

That was the North cloud Prefecture’s mansion-guarding Dao weapon.

Qin shujian took a glance at the great demon’s head and followed behind Marquis northcloud. It didn’t take long before they appeared in the wilderness.

The two of them were standing in the air, and the distance between them was less than ten meters.

“Make your move!”

Marquis northcloud said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Qin shujian didn’t hesitate either. A powerful force was being nurtured in his body. “Since that’s the case, then I, Qin, will make my move!”

The words fell.

His 397 acupoints trembled at the same time, and his blood flowed like a Galaxy. A terrifying power burst out in an instant.

At this moment, Qin shujian no longer looked like a human. He was more like a terrifying beast that had taken human form.

BOOM!

Qin shujian took a step forward, and the void distorted and trembled. He pointed his finger out, and the sound of wind and thunder rang out. His finger force shattered the air.

Marquis northcloud’s expression was calm. When his finger was ten feet away from him, a burst of energy appeared out of thin air and blocked Qin shujian’s attack.

The two attacks collided, and a powerful shockwave erupted.

When the finger attack was destroyed, the energy shield also shook a few times.

“It’s quite powerful.” Marquis northcloud nodded and immediately struck out with his palm. His palm energy expanded to a size of 10000 feet. It sealed off the surrounding space and pressed down on Qin shujian.

This palm.

He didn’t use any martial arts. He only used the power of a mighty figure to strike out the simplest palm.

But it was just like this.

Even Qin shujian felt a terrifying sense of threat.

The palm had yet to arrive, but the qi and blood in his body were already shaking wildly.

“Almighty!”

Qin shujian took a deep breath. The best way to deal with such an attack was to retreat.

However-

The sparring this time was to understand the difference between himself and a powerful being.

If he retreated, then sparring would be meaningless.

Therefore, Qin shujian did not retreat. Instead, he went forward and unleashed the great desolate devil suppressing seal. It instantly collided with the palm.

Boom–

Qin shujian’s body started to crack. He coughed up blood as he retreated.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with battle intent.

Logically speaking.

At this moment, Qin shujian had already lost.

However, if he were to lose in a single palm strike, he would lose all his face.

And until now.

Qin shujian didn’t use all of his power.

“Almighties are indeed powerful!”

“However, it’s impossible to defeat me in one move!”

Qin shujian’s aura was high. He took a step forward and raised his strength to a peak.

Star manifestation!

At this moment, the three hundred and ninety-seven stellar acupoints seemed to have turned into real stars, and an illusory Galaxy was flowing in the void.

Great desolate devil suppressing seal!

A seal was blasted out. The Galaxy surged and the star acupoints all went into chaos.

Marquis northcloud’s expression changed when he saw this power.

He had already known that Qin shujian’s abilities weren’t as simple as just being at the first level of the celestial realm. Even though Qin shujian was only at the first level, he was definitely comparable to an expert at the second or third level in terms of abilities.

However, this attack ...

To be honest, it already had the power of a Saint.

Without drawing on the power of heaven and earth, the strength that a fourth-level Deva realm expert could exert was probably just like this.

He was surprised by Qin shujian’s strength.

However, Marquis northcloud was an Almighty expert after all. He extended his palm, and black energy spread out, transforming into a long saber that slashed down.

The River of Stars hung down.

The void trembled.

However, as the long black saber slashed out, it caused the void to collapse and be destroyed.

Boom–

Qin shujian’s expression was extremely grave. The instant the great desolate devil suppressing seal was broken, the heavenly cloud God sealing finger was also unleashed. Destructive and sealing powers wreaked havoc in the void, forcefully shattering the long black blade.

Immediately after.

He disappeared from his original spot and appeared behind Marquis northcloud in the next second. He threw a punch at Marquis northcloud.

Marquis northcloud didn’t turn around. Instead, he just elbowed Qin shujian, and his elbow collided with Qin shujian’s fist.

Bang! Bang! The void exploded.

The force of the rebound almost caused Qin shujian’s body to break apart.

But very quickly, under the surge of his vast qi and blood, his body was forcefully suppressed. Immediately after, another great desolate devil suppressing seal was blasted out.

Even though this martial art had disappeared from the attribute panel, Qin shujian had firmly memorized it in his mind.

In terms of comprehension, even the creator of this martial art could only be left in the dust.

However, even though the great desolate fiend suppression seal was powerful, it was of no use in front of Marquis northcloud.

It was also at this moment.

An invisible ripple spread out from the void.

Marquis northcloud frowned and spread his spirit consciousness out of his body. A vast domain suddenly descended.

When the domain descended, the long blade that slashed at his spiritual God silently shattered. At the same time, Qin shujian felt an endless amount of pressure surging toward him from all directions. It caused the qi and blood in his body to become stagnant.

This was not all.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding area was also isolated at this moment.

“Domain!”

Even though Qin shujian had never experienced the power of a domain, he knew that he had fallen into Marquis northcloud’s domain after sensing the changes in his surroundings.

The moment he entered the domain Realm.

It was equivalent to falling into the opponent’s palm.

It wasn’t that he could be easily crushed to death, but his strength had been reduced by a lot.

BOOM! The long black blade slashed out. Qin shujian pointed his finger out. The finger energy collided with the long black blade, but it was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

At the same time.

The wuchen immortal robe glowed brightly and finally broke into pieces with the black long knife.

Seeing this.

Qin shujian stopped attacking.

The moment he stopped, the domain energy that covered his body also disappeared. Marquis North cloud took a step forward with his hands behind his back and landed.

“I, Qin, have experienced the might of an Almighty today!”

Qin shujian cupped his hands and exclaimed in admiration.

From the beginning to the end, he had been suppressed by Marquis northcloud. The so-called counterattack was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Marquis northcloud.

Such a difference in strength.

This made Qin shujian feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he still had techniques at the second realm of the Grandmaster realm and a thirteenth-grade Golden Lotus that he had yet to use, Marquis northcloud had also held back.

Not to mention the ancestral weapon, the other party didn’t even use the nine steps of celestial Ascension, so the great netherworld mysterious heaven, which could fight with demon gods, didn’t use much of its power.

Even though Qin shujian knew that there was a huge gap between him and a powerful being ...

However, now that he had started, he realized that the difference could no longer be described as huge.

In all seriousness.

There was no comparison at all.

If Marquis North cloud really wanted to kill him, he would definitely not take more than three moves. Even if he used his life-saving trump card, the grade-thirteen Golden Lotus, it would still be the same.

This was the difference in strength, and it was not something that could be made up for with simple external items.

Marquis northcloud consoled him. sect master Qin’s strength isn’t weak. Once a mighty figure’s domain is activated, unless it’s an expert of the same level, it’s almost impossible to contend with him. In terms of true strength, it’s impossible.

Sect leader Qin was actually not much weaker than someone at the fourth level of celestial realm.

Given time, his strength will definitely be even greater.”

Marquis northcloud, there’s no need to console me. Since I dared to seek advice from you, I’m already mentally prepared. Qin shujian smiled and dispelled the gloominess in his heart.

That’s right.

He was only at the first level of celestial being realm.

If he used all of his techniques, he wouldn’t be able to fight against Almighty experts, but he would have no problem fighting against Saints.

However ...

Even though Qin shujian wasn’t discouraged, the fear he had for the Almighties in his heart had increased by several levels.

“If I don’t step into the fourth level of celestial being in the future, it’s best to escape when I see an Almighty.”

Qin shujian made a rough estimation from the exchange of blows earlier.

If he wanted to fight with a powerful being, he would have to at least break through to the fourth level of celestial realm.

Those below the fourth level of celestial realm should stay as far away as possible.

After all, with a domain, it was much more convenient for a higher being to fight against cultivators below a higher being.

Even if he broke through to the fourth level of celestial realm ...

Qin shujian was only confident that he would be able to fight him. He wasn’t 100% sure.

This battle with Marquis North cloud had allowed him to have a more concrete understanding of the means of mighty figures.

I’ve benefited a lot from Marquis northcloud’s guidance. I still have some matters to take care of in the Liangshan spirit domain, so I’ll take my leave first. Qin shujian cupped his hands and said.

He had no plans to return to Zong yang city.

Sparring with Marquis North cloud this time could be considered as fulfilling one of his wishes.

For the remaining matters, it was more important to go back.

Marquis northcloud did not stop him.

After the two of them left, other cultivators came.

that move just now was indeed the great netherworld mysterious sky. I saw Marquis North cloud attack more than a decade ago. It was this move that killed a peak divine martial realm great cultivator!

who is Marquis North cloud fighting with? could it be that a powerful enemy is invading North cloud Manor? ”

hiss, so this is the power of a mighty figure. It’s truly powerful.

When the experts who had arrived saw the still undispersed fluctuations in the air, their expressions changed drastically.

These people.

They were all cultivators from the North cloud Prefecture.

Only divine martial realm experts had the courage to come.

In a situation where the Celestials did not appear, the divine martial realm was the peak.

However, even such experts were shocked when they sensed the energy fluctuations in the air that had not completely dissipated.

Qin shujian? ” an old man sighed. if I’m not mistaken, the person who fought Marquis northcloud should be Qin shujian!

A battle broke out not long after the two left Zong yang city.

As long as one wasn’t stupid, they could guess something.

Upon hearing this.

Many people’s expressions changed slightly, but they quickly came to a realization.

It seemed like Qin shujian was the only person in North cloud Manor who could fight Marquis North cloud.

As a result.

The battle just now was not a battle to the death, but a simple sparring.

the strength of a Deva realm cultivator is truly shocking. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to step into such a mysterious realm in my lifetime.

Someone sighed, then looked at a middle-aged man and laughed.

“Elder an, I heard that your sect’s Grand Elder is preparing to break through to the Deva realm. Is that true?”

The words fell.

Many people’s gazes also fell on elder an.

After Fang xinglan had successfully broken through to the celestial realm, the traceless sect had also spread the news that Yin Bancheng was about to break through to the celestial realm. For this reason, they had even collected various treasures without restraint in preparation for his breakthrough.

That was if Yin Bancheng had also successfully broken through.

Then, the traceless sect would officially join the ranks of the top sects.

A third great cultivator at the Deva realm was about to be born in North cloud mansion.

An Peng said indifferently, ” we’ll find out in a few days whether the news of Grand elder’s breakthrough is true or false. Our sect’s relationship with the sky origin sect isn’t bad. When the time comes, we might even invite the sky origin sect’s powerhouses to attend the ceremony.

He knew what these people were thinking.

Yin Bancheng’s breakthrough was a situation that many forces did not want to see.

But an Peng wasn’t afraid.

The traceless sect was not weak. It had thousands of years of history.

There were only a few sects in the North cloud Prefecture that could go against the traceless sect.

As for the others, their eyes flickered when they heard this.

They could hear the warning in an Peng’s words.

The relationship between the traceless sect and Yuan sect was very good. When the time came, there might even be experts from Yuan sect who would come to protect them.

The other party was just short of directly saying that Yin Bancheng’s breakthrough was single-handedly facilitated by Yuan Zong.

Anyone who wanted to stop Yin Bancheng from breaking through would have to consider whether it would anger the yuan sect.

He looked at everyone’s expression.

An Peng laughed coldly in his heart.

The traceless sect had never intended to hide the news of Yin Bancheng’s breakthrough.

This was because the breakthrough of a Deva realm would cause a phenomenon in the world, so it was impossible to hide it.

&Nbsp; so,

Instead of hiding it and waiting for others to notice when he broke through, it was better to announce it openly. It could also show the confidence of the traceless sect and make others worry.

Because of this, the traceless sect had also used the name of Yuan sect.

However, these things ...

The traceless sect had also contacted Yuan sect in private.

They only dared to do so because the other party didn’t object.

Otherwise, if they angered a top sect, the traceless sect would be in deep trouble.

when Grand Elder breaks through to the heavenly being realm, our traceless sect will also have such an expert who can suppress the entire sect. An Peng looked at the power that was still wreaking havoc in the void. This power seemed to be able to tear him into pieces easily.

The gap between Devas and those below was too great.

If a Deva were to make a move, killing cultivators below the Deva realm would be as easy as waving a hand.

However ...

The traceless sect would soon have such an expert.

By then, it would be the most prosperous time for the traceless sect in thousands of years.

However, an Peng still had some concerns. can Grand Elder really become so strong after breaking through? ”

He was a little uncertain.

However, an Peng quickly dispelled this thought.

everyone, when my Grand Elder successfully breaks through, I hope that you will give us face and come to the formless blade sect for a gathering! An Peng said in a clear voice, and then he took to the air and left.

Only the other cultivators were left standing there with uncertain expressions.

an Peng, how boastful of you. Don’t tell me that the traceless sect is planning to invite the entire North cloud Manor!

hehe, if Yin Bancheng really succeeds in breaking through, then the traceless sect will really have the confidence to do so.

Some people were unhappy with an Peng’s attitude, but some were worried.

One more heavenly being meant one more unforeseen event.

Now that a Yuan sect had appeared in North cloud Prefecture, it had already damaged the interests of many sects.

&Nbsp; if another top sect appeared, the other sects would be in an even more difficult situation.

This was also why.

This was the reason why the other prefectures only had one top sect.

This was because even though a Prefecture was large, it could not accommodate two top sects.

Below the top sects, there were many other sects from the large domains, the spirit domain, and the true Dominion.

For these sects to survive, they could not do without the support of resources.

Someone sighed. Yin Bancheng’s breakthrough is unstoppable. Don’t you see that the other major sects don’t even dare to speak up? what can we do? ”

I really don’t know what Qin shujian is thinking. He’s so foolish to tolerate the appearance of a top-notch sect at a time like this.

“Elder Liu, please be careful with your words. If this reaches the ears of Yuan sect, you will definitely cause that person to be unhappy.”

Hearing this, the person who was complaining immediately shut his mouth.

Qin shujian was famous for being petty.

It would be a huge loss if he was hated by the other party because of this.
