The direction Yang Qi was heading was a place called Hongze, a barren swamp in Wu County, hundreds of miles in radius. Because it was a swamp, ordinary practitioners rarely entered it. It was even more sparsely populated than those mountains where monsters roamed.
Seeing that Yang Qi was actually heading towards Hongze, Sun Hong was overjoyed and hurriedly followed him.
Flying all the way, in less than an incense stick of time, Yang Qi had arrived at the outskirts of Hongze. From afar, there was an endless green ocean, which was the weeds growing in Hongze.
"He really followed me."
Through the Golden Cicada, Yang Qi knew clearly that Sun Hong had followed him. Hongze was a rare place for murder and robbery!
Whoosh~
With a flash of his body, Yang Qi rushed towards the interior of Hongze.
Hongze is densely covered with water networks and swamps everywhere. Although it is not a big problem for Wuzong practitioners, Yang Qi does not want to waste his energy. He bypasses the wetlands and passes through the dense weeds. In front of him is a huge lake.
Whoosh~
Using flying martial arts, a pair of energy wings appeared behind Yang Qi. The next moment, he flew out and landed on a small island in the lake hundreds of meters away.
After flying onto the island, Yang Qi did not continue moving forward, but stopped and waited for Sun Hong to arrive.
"It didn't move?"
Yang Qi stopped, and Sun Hong, who was following behind him, noticed it the first time. Looking at the direction where Yang Qi stopped, Sun Hong raised his eyebrows.
"Have you been discovered?"
Sun Hong thought to himself that although he was very careful during the tracking, cultivators have many tricks, so it is not surprising to be discovered. But what worried him was that Yang Qi discovered him and dared to come to Hongze, so he must have something to rely on.
"This is such a rare opportunity. Even if it's a bit risky, I have to kill this kid." Although he had some doubts in his heart, Sun Hong quickly made up his mind.
So what if he has something to rely on? He is a Seven Star Martial Sect cultivator. Although his talent is not as good as Yang Qi's, he is confident that Yang Qi is not his opponent now!
"Let me see what you have to rely on!"
Sun Hong sneered, and with a flash of his body, he quickly flew towards where Yang Qi was.
"Not giving up, just in time." Yang Qi discovered through the golden cicada that Sun Hong had stopped. He was worried that Sun Hong was too timid to kill him, but Sun Hong finally did not give up this rare opportunity.
Whoosh~
A moment later, a figure appeared by the lake. It was Sun Hong who was tracking them.
Wow~
As soon as Sun Hong arrived, Yang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the island, suddenly opened his eyes and looked over.
Sun Hong looked at Yang Qi in the distance, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "Have you discovered me a long time ago?"
"Not long after I left the sect, I noticed someone was following me." Yang Qi said lightly. Although he had noticed something at first, he was not sure. It was not until he used the golden cicada to observe that he discovered Sun Hong's figure.
"You know someone is following you, yet you still dare to come to Hongze. You really are not afraid of death." Sun Hong sneered.
"If you are afraid of death, I won't wait for you." Yang Qi smiled indifferently.
"You humiliated me repeatedly in the sect before, and today I will take your life." Sun Hong shouted coldly, and the next moment, a powerful aura burst out from his body.
"Early stage of Seven Star Martial Sect!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. Although Sun Hong's aura was somewhat close to the mid-stage of Seven-Star Martial Sect, his cultivation was still only at the early-stage of Seven-Star Martial Sect.
Buzz~
An extremely domineering sword intent rose into the sky, and the surrounding air shook violently, then dissipated.
“Such a domineering sword intent. It’s even more powerful than mine. In front of this sword intent, I actually feel like surrendering and worshipping it?” Feeling the extremely domineering sword intent from Yang Qi, Sun Hong’s face changed drastically, and he was horrified in his heart.
Although he had known from Sun Bo that Yang Qi's sword intent was very domineering, it was only after experiencing it personally that he understood how terrifying Yang Qi's sword intent was. It was almost close to the small success of sword intent!
“With his sword intent, he can probably give even a puppet on the seventh floor of the Sword Tower a fight, and he seems to have also practiced body refining!” Sun Hong’s eyes focused. Yang Qi’s strength was much stronger than he thought.
“I can’t be suppressed by his sword intent, otherwise I won’t be able to fully display my strength.” Sun Hong’s face darkened, and a powerful sword intent surged from his body. With the support of that sword intent, the effect of Yang Qi’s sword intent on him was greatly reduced to almost negligible.
"die!"
Sun Hong shook the sword in his hand, and the next moment, he flew directly to the island. The sword turned into a huge sword light hundreds of feet long and slashed towards Yang Qi.
"Return to the origin!"
Facing Sun Hong's attack, Yang Qi thrust out the sword in his hand. The sword light flashed across the sky, the air collapsed, and he rushed towards Sun Hong with incomparable fierce power.
"Boom~"
The two sword lights collided with each other in mid-air, accompanied by a loud bang, an invisible shock wave flashed, and the entire surface of the lake suddenly sank.
"As expected of a genius who can pass the sixth floor of the Sword Tower, he can actually block my sword easily." Sun Hong was a little surprised when his attack missed, but thinking that Yang Qi was a genius who passed the sixth floor of the Sword Tower, he didn't care too much.
"Frost fills the sky!"
The long sword shook, and countless sword lights flashed across the sky. As those sword lights appeared, the temperature of the air dropped sharply, and those sword lights turned into transparent ice swords that enveloped Yang Qi.
"Yang Qi, what I comprehended is the meaning of the ice sword. You are very good at choosing a burial place for yourself. My strength will be even stronger here!" At the same time, a burst of wild laughter came from the air.
Ice sword intent!
Yang Qi's face darkened. He had never fought with Sun Hong before, so he was not clear about Sun Hong's strength, and he didn't know that the other party had comprehended the Ice Sword Intentions.
Different sword intents, when used in different places, have different powers. For example, if the fire sword intent is used in flames, its power will naturally increase greatly. The ice sword intent is most powerful in ice and snow, but in this swamp, it also increases, just not as much as the former.
"Green Lotus turns into a sword!"
Yang Qi flew out, stabbing out with the sword in his hand continuously. The sky was filled with sword shadows, like flying petals, firmly blocking the countless ice swords that were attacking.
"Bang~Bang~"
In the sky, countless ice swords shattered and turned into ice crystals all over the sky, which fell into the lake with a splash. A thin layer of white mist actually rose from the surface of the lake.
Bang!
Although Yang Qi's swordsmanship was powerful, he was unable to completely block the ice sword. Several ice swords fell on Yang Qi and directly shook his body away.
Crash~
Under the impact of the ice crystals, Yang Qi's clothes suddenly had several holes, revealing his fair skin.
"What? There's no injury at all?" Looking at Yang Qi who was hit by the ice sword not far away, the smile on Sun Hong's face suddenly froze.
Although this move is a large-scale attack method, under the amplification above the lake, even an ordinary six-star martial artist would be seriously injured if hit by a few swords. However, Yang Qi was clearly hit by several swords, but he seemed to be fine!
"I can suppress him. Even if large-scale attacks are useless, my strength here is comparable to that of a mid-stage Seven-Star Martial Sect. I can still kill him!" Sun Hong sneered in his heart, and his figure flashed, turning into a stream of light, heading straight for Yang Qi on the island. (To be continued)
