37 Chapter 37: Terrifying Sword Array_1
“From the looks of it, it seems to be some kind of water sword intent.” Qin Changqing looked into the distance and saw the people around him eagerly waiting to make a move. He said to Qin Lingshuang, “You practice the Autumn Water Sword. If you can obtain this swordgrass, your swordsmanship will surely be greatly accomplished, and it will be of great help to you in condensing sword intent in the future.”
Qin Lingshuang was also tempted, but she saw those around her were eyeing her predatorily. With her strength, it was unlikely that she could snatch the swordgrass away.
“Let’s make a plan,” Qin Changqing quickly said, “Although there are many people here now, the powerful ones have gone to the core of Tianheng Secret Realm, and there aren’t many who can truly threaten you.”
“Xiaoxiao, later you’ll pretend to rush over and draw their attention. Don’t really go though; withdraw when you get close. Once you make a move, they’ll be thrown into chaos, and as long as they’re in chaos, we’ll have a chance.”
Zhao Xiaoxiao thought about it. Everything was fine except for one problem: “What if they don’t panic and try to kick me out first?”
Qin Changqing: “It’s fine, our fighting strength isn’t just you alone.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Apparently, she was just a tool.
“It’s too dangerous for Sister Zhao to go; let me do it instead.”
Murong Xue said, “After all, I’ve been injured, so it’s fine for me to go out even at this time.”
“No no, let me go.”
Zhao Xiaoxiao thought, anyway, she had already made a fortune in this Sect’s Grand Competition. If it weren’t for Qin Changqing’s help, she would’ve been eliminated long ago, given her cultivation level.
Moreover, Murong Xue had agreed to be Qin Changqing’s Taoist Couple. Logically, she should not let her partner do such a thing. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
Qin Changqing took out two more swords from his storage bag, forming a total of three swords. Spiritual Qi operated in a mysterious posture, forming a triangular position.
Qin Lingshuang was taken aback: “Big brother, have you accomplished the Sword Array?”
“I’ve barely managed to enter the door, but it should suffice for now.”
After saying that, Qin Changqing told Murong Xue: “As soon as I make a move, you immediately go over and help me, and take me away.”
Murong Xue was puzzled.
“I will use a killing move when I strike, the kind that puts all my strength into it.”
Murong Xue understood.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao felt even more at ease. She would take risks in front, while Brother Qin would cover her from behind.
With that in mind, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately rushed out.
“The swordgrass is mine!”
As expected, when she made a move, the other disciples around her could no longer restrain themselves.
Those who stayed behind here were not at the core of Tianheng, and their strength wouldn’t be too high. Murong Aotian was already top-notch among them.
Under such circumstances, everyone had a chance if they competed.
At worst, if they couldn’t compete, they’d just fail.
Anyway, the rankings of the Grand Competition were now apparent, and these people had no chance if they didn’t fight.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Streams of sword light rushed into the canyon.
Zhao Xiaoxiao was very smart. Seeing this situation, she immediately stopped.
The disciples tangled together fighting.
“The swordgrass is mine!” Murong Aotian, wielding the Purple Flame Sword, went undefeated, with almost no one able to withstand his second move. Watching, it seemed like he was about to take the swordgrass after defeating all opponents in his path.
Qin Changqing shook his head secretly: “What an idiot.”
As soon as his voice fell, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the canyon, knocking Murong Aotian, who was flying towards the swordgrass, downward.
Boom!
The shadow was neither human nor beast, over three meters tall, and incredibly sturdy in its build. After knocking Murong Aotian flying, it landed on a hillside, raising its head and issuing a ‘howling’ sound.
“A Howling Ape?!” The crowd was taken aback.
“This guy must have at least nine layers of Establishing Foundation Stage strength!”
“Sigh~ With it there, who dares to approach?”
The Howling Ape, a common demonic beast found in deep mountain forests, was famed for its huge size and immense strength.
“Evil beast!”
Murong Aotian roared in rage as he charged out of the pile of dirt, wielding his sword to strike at the Howling Ape.
Purple Flame Soars to Heaven!
The flood dragon leaped into the air, carrying an unrivalled momentum breaking out.”Aaaahh!” The Howling Ape fiercely beats its chest and fearlessly rushes forward.
“Now’s the time!”
Qin Changqing leaps into the air, three flying swords surrounding him, their blades trembling and making resounding noises.
Qin Lingshuang doesn’t have time to think. She doesn’t know Qin Changqing’s true strength, but she wholeheartedly believes in her senior brother.
If he says they can go, then they definitely can!
As soon as Qin Lingshuang takes action, a rain of autumn leaves falls, carrying a terrifying aura of desolation and killing intent.
She has been stationed on Mang Mountain for nearly eight years, during which she has fought countless battles with demonic beasts, her sword already tainted with bloodlust.
With a single sword stroke, the Autumn Water Sword’s momentum sweeps through, scaring away the disciples who were trying to seize the swordgrass in the chaos.
But not everyone will retreat.
“It’s Qin Lingshuang of Xuanyi Peak!”
“Let’s all attack together!”
Three cultivators with cultivation bases from the sixth to the seventh level of the Establishing Foundation Stage bravely resist the sword’s momentum to advance.
Clang clang clang-
Sword light falls.
“Fellow junior brothers, listen to me, this swordgrass should be left for my junior sister!”
Qin Changqing leaps into the air, performing hand seals.
“Heaven and Earth’s Three Talents – Explode for me!”
Boom~
In an instant, all of the spiritual qi within Qin Changqing’s body is drained, reinforcing the three flying swords.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Brilliant light flashes on the three swords, and as they slash towards the three cultivators, fierce explosions erupt, the terrifying impact force sending them all flying!
Qin Lingshuang is startled but doesn’t slow down. She rushes to the Water Swordgrass, carefully removing it and placing it into a jade box before quickly withdrawing.
Having lost all his strength, Qin Changqing falls from the sky, caught by the approaching Murong Xue.
“Retreat.”
Qin Changqing issues the final command.
Immediately, Qin Lingshuang, Murong Xue, and Zhao Xiaoxiao retreat into the distance. “Bastards, stop right there!”
A resentful yell from Murong Aotian can be heard from behind, along with the howling of the Howling Ape.
“Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!”
Outside the secret realm, Mu Qingyun exclaims three times after seeing Qin Lingshuang obtain the swordgrass.
But this time, she isn’t praising Qin Lingshuang, but rather praising Qin Changqing.
Qin Lingshuang’s comprehension of sword intent and her extraordinary combat prowess are not surprising to her at all, but Qin Changqing being able to instantly block the three people’s attacks was indeed a wonder.
“It seems he was using a kind of sword array just now; even though it was simple, it proved extremely effective in actual combat.” A peak master says.
“Indeed, it was a sword array, and that single strike drained all of his spiritual qi.”
“Strange~ Where did he get such abundant spiritual qi? Isn’t Qin Changqing only at the Establishing Foundation stage?”
After speaking, he looks towards Mo Jiuzhou.
Although they now know that Qin Changqing’s foundation establishment isn’t ordinary, to what extent he is extraordinary, no one knows.
“Hahaha! My beloved disciple, just like me, doesn’t like to show off, but he’s the most reliable at critical moments!” Mo Jiuzhou laughs shamelessly.
Everyone: “..”
You don’t like to show off?
You’re the most ostentatious among the older generation in the entire Lingxiao Sect!
However, they have to admit that Qin Changqing is indeed similar to Mo Jiuzhou.
That’s why they say, like master, like disciple – there is some truth to this.
“Her perception is quite good.”
Liu Mengxian gives her own opinion.
Honestly, this Sect’s Grand Competition is somewhat beyond her expectations.
Especially Qin Changqing.
