Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1510: Battle Against a Late-Stage Venerable

Leaving behind fourteen people wasn't actually that many for Ye Qing and his group of eight.

However, Ye Qing also discovered something: Gu Linyu's decision to leave these people behind was not without reason.

Long Rui is now at the late stage of the Venerable realm, and that late stage Venerable realm title was clearly reserved for her.

As for the mid-stage Venerable, it's highly likely that it's reserved for himself. Besides that, there are twelve early-stage Venerables, which essentially leaves the other six people with a one-on-two opportunity.

Including Long Rui and myself!

Gu Linyu's purpose in keeping these people around seemed to be to test their maximum combat power!

"What a pity!" Ye Qing said calmly, "Fourteen people... mid-stage Venerable Realm, not enough to impress them!"

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow at the late-stage Venerable expert, then licked his lips, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and asked, "Long Rui, can you instantly kill an early-stage Venerable?"

“It shouldn’t be a big problem!” Long Rui said. “What do you mean by that? Shouldn’t I be facing that late-stage Venerable?”

"Him?" Ye Qing's lips curled into a slight smile, then he said, "I want to give it a try!"

"Hmm?" Long Rui's pupils suddenly contracted. "You want to deal with a late-stage Venerable?"

"Yes, I know what I'm doing!" Ye Qing said, "This is the fastest way to resolve this. You can instantly kill someone at the early stage of the Venerable realm, so you can take care of them as quickly as possible. If I can't beat them, you can come and help me!"

"What about the mid-stage Venerable level?" Long Rui asked.

"I'll do it!" Ling Yingxue's lips curled into a cold smile, and the spear in her hand seemed to spew fire like snakes!

"Attack!" Ye Qing didn't hesitate any longer, and he instantly rushed towards the late-stage Venerable!

This was a middle-aged man. When he saw Ye Qing rushing over, an angry look appeared on his face.

What angered him was that they, the people of the Heavenly Court, were now in a disadvantageous position!

What angered him even more was that Ye Qing, who had just broken through to the Venerable Realm, actually wanted to confront him directly.

"Arrogant!" He sneered at Ye Qing, "I know you were able to fight opponents of higher levels before, and your characteristics are quite special, but you actually want to fight me two levels higher? Ye Qing, you overestimate yourself!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura instantly spread out around them!

The pressure of a late-stage Venerable One erupted, and at the same time, the surrounding space changed instantly. Ye Qing seemed to appear in a forest, with endless vines wandering between heaven and earth like blood vessels.

The person in front of him was holding a sword, but to Ye Qing's surprise, the sword intent on his body was only at the sword soul level, that is, the third level, close to the fourth level!

Ye Qing curled his lip and said, "Late stage of Venerable, and your sword intent is only at the Sword Soul level? You're really quite useless!"

"You!" the man hissed. "Killing you is enough, Ye Qing. When you report to the King of Hell, remember this: the person who killed you comes from the Xuanhuang Civilization, the Lu family, Lu Mingsheng!"

At this point, he let out a low roar, and the rhythm of the Great Dao surged around his body.

The endless vines transformed into endless thorns, blotting out the sky and heading straight for Ye Qing!

"Hmph, once you reach the Venerable Realm, a single step makes all the difference. Not to mention you want to jump two levels. Today, you are doomed to die!" Lu Mingsheng sneered.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, an immense pressure emerged between heaven and earth!

The world grew darker, and a bronze ancient tree floated between heaven and earth, surrounded by six stars that slowly orbited around it!

This is precisely Ye Qing's domain!

As Ye Qing broke through to the Venerable Realm, the area covered by his domain also became much larger.

Moreover, once one reaches the Venerable level, when their domain expands, the entire domain is filled with a peculiar rhythm of the Great Dao.

Ye Qing waved his right hand, unleashing a torrent of sword energy. The rhythm of the Great Dao and the divine power within his body trembled simultaneously.

Endless sword intent, carrying thunder, exploded continuously in the air, instantly cutting through the thorns and spikes!

"Hmm?" Lu Mingsheng frowned and said, "Your Dao rhythm..."

"Snapped!"

Just then, a snap of fingers rang out.

Lu Mingsheng paused, and the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.

"clang!"

Just then, Ye Qing appeared above him, and then Ye Qing slashed down with his sword.

His inner energy surged forth, and this sword strike, carrying surging inner energy and sword intent, crashed down.

"clang!"

Lu Mingsheng unleashed a sword strike that collided with Ye Qing's. The next moment, he was sent flying into the distance like a cannonball!

His eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed, "He's clearly at the early stage of the Venerable realm, so why is the Dao rhythm in his moves so powerful?!"

Ye Qing is special. He has seven characteristics that have reached the Venerable Realm, which makes his Dao rhythm far surpass that of people of the same level. In terms of Dao rhythm alone, its strength is no less than that of the mid-stage Venerable.

As for true qi, his physical body has broken through the Heavenly Net, and coupled with his own special characteristics, his true qi is also at the mid-stage Venerable level.

Although Ye Qing's current level of cultivation is only at the early stage of the Venerable realm.

However, his true energy and the rhythm of the Great Dao are not below the mid-stage of the Venerable Realm, not to mention that he also possesses the power of the Divine Treasury!

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Qing wanted to face a late-stage Venerable alone. This was the first time he wanted to test his limit of combat power after his breakthrough.

Although Lu Mingsheng was shocked, he reacted quickly. As he made his move, he spread his five fingers, and then countless vines intertwined behind him.

At the same time, Ye Qing clearly felt a powerful energy flow into his body, instantly clearing away all the negative energy on his body, including some of the negative energy brought by his own mental power.

But within their own domains, how could Ye Qing possibly give him any chance to breathe!

He snapped his fingers again and disappeared from the spot once more.
