Zhou Weiqing shook his head, back still to Long Shiya as he said: “Master, do not worry. I am not being rash, but I will not give these fellows any chances. I will not allow my family to be hurt. The rest, please, I will depend on you.” 

Long Shiya looked at Zhou Weiqing’s tall and stalwart back, and he sighed inwardly. This child, he is no longer the young man that had just become his disciple those years ago! The playful exterior he usually had on could no longer hide the steady, profound and overpowering nature he had. Of course, this was a good thing for him. He had already grown up. It looked like after this matter, he will no longer need my protection. From today onwards, in the Heavenly Jewel Master, there will definitely be a place for him.

“Alright then, you be careful.” Long Shiya did not try to persuade him further. This was a battlefield, and he chose to place absolute trust in him.

Indeed. Absolute trust. This was the best recognition and approval he could give to Zhou Weiqing’s power. 

The terrifying energy reverberations burst forth from Zhou Weiqing instantly, such a terrifying explosiveness that caused the entire area to turn grey. 

Ming Gui was given a shock. “Is that little brat actually trying to face the four of us by himself?” 

On the other side, Long Shiya’s six-coloured lights spread forth again; this time they enveloped the entire palace hall. Without question, the master disciple pair had chosen to divide up the work. Long Shiya would ensure the Fate Denying Seal was not disturbed or broken, and the four Blood Red Hell powerhouses would be the targets of Zhou Weiqing’s attack. 

Zhou Weiqing raised his Dual Legendary Hammers in hands, both glowing with various different coloured lights. The left hammer was glowing black, while the right was a purplish red. In the next instant, two giant figures appeared at each side of him as he waved his hammers. It was the Hell’s Angel and the Demonic Dragon Lady.

This is? Heavenly Skill Image? But… how could one summon two Heavenly Skill Images at once… and they looked so real too?

Zhou Weiqing had only just begun his move, and the abilities he displayed were already beyond their knowledge.

A terrifying dark purple light and dark red light both started glowing at once. The Hell’s Angel and the Demonic Dragon Lady were both summoned by Zhou Weiqing, and the order he gave them was simple: Attack. Balls of dark purple light were sent flying towards all the Blood Red Hell powerhouses. At the same time, the Demonic Dragon Lady began flashing with purplish red light, sending Dragon Silencing Seals shooting forth one after the other. From appearance, she was just like that Terror Sea Dragon, her body full of spikes. 

This attacking style of the Demonic Dragon Lady was indeed what Zhou Weiqing had learned in his fight against the Terror Sea Dragon. Of course, he did not have the Water Attribute, and was unable to Store Skills from the Terror Sea Dragon. However, he was still able to learn from its attacking styles. 

This type of attacking style was undoubtedly extremely energy consuming. However, do not forget, he had just Devoured three Heavenly Kings dry of all their Heavenly Energy. Furthermore, the current Zhou Weiqing, would he actually be afraid of expending too much energy? 

The three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings instantly raised their defense, as Heavenly Skill Images also lit up around them. 

The Dragon Silencing Seal was an absolute-effect type Skill, but the precondition was that it actually had to hit its target. The three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings were by no means weak, and they had their own powerful Skills as well, especially with the Destruction Attribute. Facing the abrupt explosive attacks from Zhou Weiqing, they naturally blocked it in an instant. After all, the Hell’s Angel and the Demonic Dragon Lady were just summonings, not true existences. 

In that moment, Meng Gui melded into the darkness. In truth, no one knew that Meng Gui was the real top assassin in the world. However, he had attained that rank fifty years ago, and after reaching the Heavenly Emperor stage, he had retired from the assassin world. However, his current level was naturally far more dangerous than he had been then. 

Meng Gui did not have the Spatial Attribute, nor did he have any Skills like the Blink Skill. However, hidden in the darkness, his ability to conceal his aura was no weaker than Zhou Weiqing. 

In midair, Zhou Weiqing suddenly took a step to the left. As his body flickered, the pitch black devil claw spike swiped across the space he had just been. Where it passed, the air was split apart instantly. If Zhou Weiqing had still been there, even with his Legendary Set and the protection of the Immortal Deity Shield, he might still have sustained a severe injury. 

As his body moved, the ‘crying-face’ hammer in his hand did not hesitate to smash outwards at Meng Gui’s hands. 

Meng Gui did not dodge at all. His fingers spread wide, and the devil claw spike actually twisted around to grab towards the incoming hammer. 

Meng Gui was after all a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, and any Heavenly Emperor would have absolute confidence in themselves. When Zhou Weiqing said he would deal with the Blood Red Hell powerhouses by himself, he had almost blown his top. What did this little brat treat him as?! No matter how talented and outstanding he was, he was still just a mere Heavenly King. Yet, he dared to brag about taking down all four of them?!

Indeed, the two summons of the Hell’s Angel and the Demonic Dragon Lady by Zhou Weiqing had given him a shock, but that did not mean Meng Gui would feel Zhou Weiqing was stronger than him. As such, he did not even bother dodging, wanting to use his own Skills in a hard direct clash to defeat Zhou Weiqing. 

Meng Gui’s Consolidated Equipment were all pitch black, barely entering the realm of the ‘Legendary Set’. This was an eight-piece set, amongst which two were the devil claw spikes in each hand respectively. He had always been an offense orientated Heavenly Jewel Master.

A earsplitting explosion, as the devil claw spike clashed with the ‘crying-face’ hammer. In the next instant, a look of utter disbelief crossed Meng Gui’s face. 

His body curled up into a ball, flying back at lightning speed as if he had become a large black cannonball. He had actually been sent flying back by the impact of Zhou Weiqing’s hammer!

What was Zhou Weiqing wielding… the Legendary Dual God Strength Hammers! As his ‘Hate Ground no Handle’ Legendary Set had already reached nine pieces, what kind of boost to his strength did that give? His physical strength had already reached a truly terrifying state. Let alone Meng Gui, even Long Shiya with his full ‘Hate Sky no Handle’ Legendary Set… in terms of just pure physical strength, he might not be comparable to Zhou Weiqing. Even an ordinary Heavenly God powerhouse, perhaps if he was clashing directly in terms of strength with Zhou Weiqing, he might be disadvantaged!

This time, Meng Gui had definitely taken a huge disadvantage. Furthermore, on the crying-face hammer of Zhou Weiqing’s, there was an extremely powerful suction ‘Devour’ power. In just the short moment where they had clashed, it had already drained a substantial mass of energy from Meng Gui. 

Meng Gui gritted his teeth against the violent pain, forcing himself not to cry out. When he realised he had lost the clash, he changed strike to a push, using Zhou Weiqing’s power to fly back as best he could, trying to shift as much of the power from landing on his own body. However, Zhou Weiqing’s strength was just too terrifying, at least several hundred thousand jin in power. That hammer blow, no matter how high Meng Gui’s cultivation was, even if he used the Darkness Attribute energies in the atmosphere to protect himself, he was still at a massive disadvantage. 

The right devil claw spike had actually been shattered, along with his right arm. That was the price Meng Gui had to pay to prevent the power from smashing his body. His entire right arm was vaporized into a blood mist explosively before he managed to shunt away the rest of the power from Zhou Weiqing’s strike. 

Zhou Weiqing’s full power, could it be as simple as just the surface Heavenly King stage he showed? 

Sending Meng Gui flying with a single hammer blow, Zhou Weiqing’s expression did not change at all, as if he had already guessed the result of this exchange. The dual hammers in his hands swung around, and a massive grey figure slowly appeared behind his back. 

The three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings were indeed powerful; in the short time that Zhou Weiqing and Meng Gui had exchanged blows, they had already destroyed the Hell’s Angel, and had also forced the Demonic Dragon Lady back in a retreat. Once they could destroy the Demonic Dragon Lady, they would be able to join hands with Meng Gui and kill off Zhou Weiqing. 

Alas, Zhou Weiqing did not give them such a chance. When the horrifying demonic attribute aura burst forth once more, the Demonic Dragon Lady’s entire body seemed to grow stronger, her own power and influence strengthening dramatically. An unparalleled, dazzling purplish red light shone forth in a single direction in a large and indiscriminate attack.

The Demonic Dragon Lady had actually chosen to self detonate when her aura had reached the strongest point. Self detonation could also be a type of attacking method, and she was able to use her self detonation to boost all of her powers. Naturally, the Demonic Dragon Lady’s greatest power was without a doubt her Dragon Silencing Seal. 

When Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation had raised to the Heavenly King stage, the Dragon Silencing Seal could already undergo area of effect attacks. Currently, with the boost of the Demon God that Zhou Weiqing had summoned, the power of the Dragon Silencing Seal was once again heavily boosted, especially with the boost of the self-detonation, it had already reached an unbelievable state. Although the three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings their own powerful defenses, in that instant, none of them could escape the fate of being struck by the Dragon Silencing Seal. 

In that instant, all three of the Heavenly Kings were stripped of their Consolidated Equipment, their Stored Skills also Sealed from their use. Such an abrupt and surprising change caught them off guard, causing them to start momentarily. 

In the same moment that the Demonic Dragon Lady self detonated, Zhou Weiqing’s body also vanished. The Blink Skill. 

The next second, the three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings felt as if the space around their bodies collapsing. Soon, one after the other, Control Skills began to land on them. Even with their cultivation levels, without their Consolidated Equipment or Stored Skills, how could they possibly break free of Zhou Weiqing’s Control Skills, boosted by his Astral Saint Core Nucleus as they were.
