Chapter 644: Chu Qing's Combat Form

Under the astonished gaze of countless eyes from outside the mountain, Chu Qing, Zhou Yuan, and Yao Yao swiftly shot out, rapidly ascending the giant peak, hot on the heels of Jiang Taixuan and his companions.

Ahead of them, Jiang Taixuan's expression subtly shifted. He glanced back and smiled faintly, "They really did follow."

Zhan Taiqing's crimson eyes scanned the area. She chuckled alluringly, "It's interesting that Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao came with Chu Qing. I originally thought it would be Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan."

"Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan's spirits are weaker. To break through the Bewildering Mist, their Genesis Qi would be consumed. Their strength is already inferior to yours, so if their Genesis Qi is depleted even further beforehand, they would essentially have no chance of winning," Jiang Taixuan said with a slight smile.

This was originally part of his calculations. As long as Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan dared to force their way through and follow, Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi could directly kill them.

However, it seems he miscalculated a bit now.

But it doesn't matter. It merely means the ones facing death have changed from Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan to Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao.

Jiang Taixuan gently waved his hand and said, "Since they insist on seeking death, let's grant their wish today."

As his voice faded, he halted, turned around, and indifferently watched Chu Qing and the two who were pursuing them.

Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi also stopped, their eyes filled with amusement as they playfully stared at the approaching figures.

Seeing Jiang Taixuan and his two companions halt, Chu Qing also waved his hand, stopping first. He slowly remarked, "Jiang Taixuan, aren't you a bit too impatient?"

Jiang Taixuan smiled faintly, "Chu Qing, the ones rushing to their deaths are you three."

As his voice fell, everyone felt an astonishing surge of Genesis Qi rising from Jiang Taixuan's body. The ground below seemed to tremble at that moment.

Grayish-white Genesis Qi slowly ascended from the crown of Jiang Taixuan's head, like a colossal canopy, overshadowing the sky.

A powerful Genesis Qi pressure enveloped the world.

Countless eyes looked on gravely. Was this super powerhouse, ranked first on the Saint Son Rankings, finally going to display his terrifying strength?

Jiang Taixuan's eyes were indifferent. He extended a slender finger, pointing it from a distance at Chu Qing, then a cold smile curved his lips, and he lightly tapped his fingertip.

As his fingertip tapped, a stream of grayish-white Genesis Qi roared forth like a bolt of silk. Wherever the white Genesis Qi passed, even space itself was corroded, leaving a trace.

This demonstrated the tyrannical nature of the Genesis Qi Jiang Taixuan cultivated.

If an ordinary Saint Son were to forcibly receive this single attack from Jiang Taixuan, they would likely be instantly killed on the spot, their very corpse corroded into nothingness by that corrosive aura.

Zhou Yuan watched the roaring stream of white Genesis Qi, but in the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted. He realized that the grayish-white Genesis Qi had sharply veered, not heading towards Chu Qing, but directly at him!

Jiang Taixuan had actually targeted him directly with his very first move!

The stream of Genesis Qi was incredibly fast, reaching Zhou Yuan in a single breath. However, his expression remained quite calm; he showed no signs of panic.

Just as the grayish-white Genesis Qi was mere feet away from Zhou Yuan, a figure appeared before him like a phantom. Five fingers clenched into a fist, and a punch shot out.

The fist light collided forcefully with the grayish-white stream of Genesis Qi, immediately unleashing violent Genesis Qi shockwaves that raged outwards.

The figure standing before Zhou Yuan remained completely still. His bald head reflected a sheen, and it was indeed Chu Qing.

He raised his head, looking at Jiang Taixuan, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Jiang Taixuan, I'm rather curious. Why do you always seem to harbor an exceptionally strong killing intent towards Zhou Yuan?"

Previously, Jin Chanzi had attempted to assassinate Zhou Yuan, and now, even Jiang Taixuan was making a move against him.

Although Zhou Yuan had killed Saint Palace's Saint Sons, attracting much hatred, Jiang Taixuan and Jin Chanzi's actions seemed a bit too hasty.

Jiang Taixuan flicked his fingers lightly and smiled faintly, "Because I feel that in the future, this Zhou Yuan might pose a threat to my Saint Palace. Since that's the case, he must naturally be eliminated early."

Chu Qing chuckled, "So, I suppose we should thank you for thinking so highly of him?"

Then, his smile slightly faded, and he said indifferently, "However, with me here today, don't even think about touching him."

Jiang Taixuan's eyelids lowered slightly. "Is that so? Then I'd like to see if the 'Primeval Qi' you, Chu Qing, cultivate can protect him today."

"I, too, wish to experience how much progress your 'Nether Saint Bone Qi' has made," Chu Qing said slowly.

"I'm sure it won't disappoint you."

Jiang Taixuan smiled, yet there was no warmth in his eyes. He slowly spread his hands, his robes billowing without wind, and his white hair fluttered. Grayish-white Genesis Qi erupted from his body like a raging storm.

Boom! Boom!

The entire world seemed to tremble at that moment.

The grayish-white Genesis Qi coiled between heaven and earth, emanating an eerie chill. As it flowed, any air that came into contact with it was directly corroded into nothingness.

"Zhan Taiqing, Jin Chanzi, you two continue forward and seize the jade tablet first," Jiang Taixuan said, his Genesis Qi surging, as he looked back at the two behind him.

Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi nodded at his words, then swiftly shot forward.

"I'll handle Jiang Taixuan. As for those two, I'll leave them to you. Any issues?" Chu Qing glanced at them, then turned his gaze to Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao.

Yao Yao's pretty face remained calm, without a ripple of emotion. Zhou Yuan, however, narrowed his eyes, locking onto Jin Chanzi's figure, and nodded slightly.

"Let's go."

With a soft cry, Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao simultaneously shot forth, pursuing Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi.

Jiang Taixuan glanced at them but did not stop them. He had confidence in Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi. As for Zhou Yuan and his companion, aside from Zhou Xiaoyao being somewhat mysterious, Zhou Yuan himself wasn't truly regarded by Jiang Taixuan, even though he had previously killed two Saint Sons from Saint Palace.

Because at their level, accomplishing that wasn't difficult.

Watching the two depart, Jiang Taixuan folded his arms across his chest and stared at Chu Qing with a half-smile, "Aren't you afraid that letting them go is just sending them to their deaths?"

"Jiang Taixuan, confidence is good, but don't let it turn into arrogance," Chu Qing exhaled.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Taixuan lightly waved his sleeve. Billowing grayish-white Genesis Qi coiled behind him, emitting light, and gradually forming a brilliant constellation of Genesis Qi. Countless grayish-white stars glittered within it.

An astonishing sense of pressure slowly emanated.

Throughout the world, countless gazes watched the Genesis Qi constellation behind Jiang Taixuan with awe. A rough count of the Genesis Qi stars within it revealed an astonishing hundred thousand!

A hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars—what an incredibly formidable Genesis Qi foundation!

Outside the mountain, disciples from various sects were dumbfounded. Was this the strength of the number one ranked Saint Son? A full hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars simply overwhelmed the entire younger generation of the Cangxuan Heaven!

Chu Qing raised his head, looking at Jiang Taixuan's hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his face.

"Huu..."

He let out a long breath. His usually languid eyes gradually sharpened at this moment. His hands slowly clasped together, and deep yellow Genesis Qi erupted from his body with a roar.

Deep yellow Genesis Qi filled the sky, occupying half of it.

The Genesis Qi light illuminated the void, also forming a Genesis Qi constellation. Within it, deep yellow Genesis Qi stars glittered.

Ninety-five thousand!

Chu Qing's Genesis Qi stars were remarkably close to a hundred thousand as well, not much weaker than Jiang Taixuan's.

Back then, Zhou Yuan had estimated Chu Qing's Genesis Qi foundation to be around sixty or seventy thousand. However, looking at it now, he had clearly underestimated the foundation of Cangxuan Sect's top Saint Son.

Furthermore, as Chu Qing's Genesis Qi erupted without reservation from his body, everyone was astonished to see black hair suddenly growing from his bald head at that moment.

The hair continuously grew, eventually cascading down his back like a waterfall.

From a distance, it looked as if he were draped in a black cape.

However, the long hair was not soft; instead, it shimmered with a chilling glint. Every strand was as sharp and keen as a blade.

Further down below, Saint Sons like Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan also cast their gazes from afar. When they saw Chu Qing in this state, their eyes glinted.

"It's been a long time since we've seen him in this form..." They exchanged glances. Due to Chu Qing's cultivation of the "Primeval Qi," he normally had no hair. But once he fully activated his Genesis Qi, he would assume this current form, which Li Qingchan and the others referred to as Chu Qing's battle form.

However, over the years, the number of times Chu Qing had been forced to reveal this form was truly negligible.

Clearly, facing Jiang Taixuan this time, Chu Qing was holding nothing back.

Countless fervent gazes converged from across the world.

This battle would be a contest between the first and second ranked Saint Sons on the Shengzhou Continent's Saint Son Rankings.
