The fluctuations were strong, and there were even muffled booms and the spread of magic power.
Xu Qing's footsteps paused. As he looked into the distance, various thoughts flashed through his mind.
The transportation formation ahead had clearly been activated, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the sea corpse race had arrived.
And from the sounds of battle, it was certain that a Seven Blood Child cultivator had encountered them here.
Currently, most of the disciples were outside taking on various missions. Although there were people in the underwater world, Xu Qing hadn't encountered many in the past two months.
Therefore, there was a high probability that it was someone like him who had taken on the mission of finding the formation.
Xu Qing didn't act rashly. Instead, he concealed his tracks and slowly approached. When he was about to reach the battlefield, he crouched down and looked down at the shadow.
The shadow had followed Xu Qing for so long that it was already familiar with his personality. After being swept away by the Vajra Sect's ancestor a month ago, it was working hard and quickly spread out.
The light source of the underwater world came from the colorful corals. This light allowed cultivators to see their surroundings, but because it wasn't strong, the shadow was almost undetectable here.
Therefore, the shadow's spread was basically undetectable.
Especially since this place was filled with abnormalities, it allowed the shadow to quietly and slowly approach the battlefield.
It quickly checked there and returned in an instant. After transmitting some emotions to Xu Qing, it simply formed some shapes on the ground that only Xu Qing could see.
Xu Qing looked down. Although he could control the shadow, he couldn't use its eyes to see the world.
However, the shape the shadow formed still clearly told Xu Qing what he saw.
"Three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sea corpse race besieging a Seven Blood Child.
In your perception, they aren't in the Profound Dazzling Form, "Xu Qing whispered.
The shadow quickly nodded and then exuded an eagerness to give it a try.
"Are you sure you've checked carefully, little shadow? You must place your master's safety at the highest level like this old man. You mustn't be careless.
The Vajra Sect's ancestor in the black metal lot seized the opportunity and said in a low voice. At the same time, he was pleased with himself. If nothing unexpected happened, his words would be able to gain points with Devil Xu and gain some credit from the shadow. However, if the shadow made a mistake, then his words would make his position in Devil Xu's heart even higher.
The shadow released a fierce intent and locked onto the black metal lot.
Xu Qing didn't pay any attention to them. After pondering for a moment, he moved forward.
He had now opened twenty-eight law apertures. According to Xu Qing's calculations, if he could kill two or three more, he would definitely open thirty law apertures.
"We can't let him go!
Xu Qing stealthily moved forward, his cultivation restrained. As he neared, the fluctuations in front of him became clearer and clearer, and the rumbling sounds became more frequent.
After a while, Xu Qing finally saw the teleportation array.
It was an area full of seaweed. Although the long seaweed covered the formation, it couldn't cover the teleportation light that was slowly dissipating from the formation.
There was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Sea Corpse Clan who was squatting there and rapidly adjusting the array. He seemed to be preparing to teleport more Sea Corpses over.
This Sea Corpse Clan cultivator was a human when he was alive. Now, except for his skin color and corpse poison, his appearance was too different from a living person.
He looked like a scholar and was dressed in a black Daoist robe. The fluctuations of his cultivation were very strong.
On the other side, there was a young man from the Third Summit with seven blood children in a dark yellow Daoist robe. He was fighting with two weaker Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Sea Corpse Clan.
At the same time, there were other arrangements in the surroundings. As soon as Xu Qing approached, he felt that his identity token had been cut off and was isolated.
Xu Qing didn't care and carefully observed the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the young man from the Third Summit with the yellow Daoist robe wore thin black gloves. As he waved them, black gas spread out and formed strange figures around him.
At the same time, there was a back that looked like a picture on his forehead, and it was trying to turn around.
But it seemed to be restricted and could not completely turn around.
The two Sea Corpses fighting with him gave Xu Qing the same feeling as the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Third Summit. They hadn't reached the Profound Brilliant State, but they should have opened around twenty Dharma apertures.
At the same time, the moment he looked at them, they also noticed Xu Qing.
The young man from the Third Summit attacked and forced the two Sea Corpses beside him to retreat. He quickly shouted at Xu Qing.
"This place is restricted by the Sea Corpse Clan and it's difficult to send messages. Help me, and I'm willing to pay you one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. When the disciples of the Seven Blood Children meet in this kind of situation, most of them will say something like this. Even if they're from the same sect, there's no obligation to help each other.
As soon as the young man from the Third Summit spoke, the black-robed scholar from the Sea Corpse Clan frowned. His body flickered, and rumbling sounds filled the air as he charged toward Xu Qing.
As he flew toward him, his hands flashed in an incantation gesture. Instantly, the power that could sever the connection between the identity medallions spread out, enveloping Xu Qing even more.
Based on his judgment, it was too late for this Seven Blood Child disciple to retreat even if he wanted to.
Since he had run into him here, he decided to kill him right here and now. He was confident that even though he hadn't reached the Profound Brilliant State, he had opened twenty-nine Dharma apertures.
Furthermore, the Sea Corpse Clan's fleshly body and regenerative abilities, combined with the heterogeneous seabed, made him confident that he could kill most Cultivators of the same Stage as him, not to mention human Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
He had killed quite a few human Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
At the moment, his Dharma apertures were open, and he shot forward at top speed. However, a moment later, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. This was because the Seven Blood Children Cultivator in front of him didn't flee, as he had expected. Instead, he charged toward him.
"Is this because he thinks his Cultivation base and battle prowess are high enough?
So he's not fleeing, but advancing instead?
That doesn't conform to the way you Seven Blood Children Seventh Peak do things.
"Then let's see who's stronger, your strength or my fleshly body," said the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator with a cold laugh. He didn't slow down in the slightest, as if he wanted to use his fleshly body to crush Xu Qing.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were closing in on each other.
"Violet Robe, this is someone from the Seventh Peak. There shouldn't be any idiots in the Seventh Peak," said the young man from the Third Peak. He wanted to seize the opportunity to escape, but he couldn't. He could only barely protect himself.
In the next moment, the young man's pupils constricted.
Not too far away, Xu Qing and the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator were closing in on each other. When they were only about thirty meters away from each other, they simultaneously used their techniques to increase their speed dramatically.
Xu Qing used a feather, and the scholarly Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator used a black paper fan. They both took out their magical items and sped up, but in different directions.
The moment Xu Qing used the feather, he suddenly changed directions. His target wasn't the scholar, but the two Sea Corpses who were attacking the young man from the Third Peak.
Xu Qing had always used the tactic of killing the weak first.
In the past, this method had been very successful. This time, he used the feather Magical item to increase his speed. However, in the instant that Xu Qing suddenly changed directions and charged toward the young man from the Third Peak, the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator also changed directions.
His target was not Xu Qing, but the young man from the Third Peak. Clearly, the words he had said earlier about his fleshly body and his battle prowess had been intentional.
It was all to conceal his true purpose. In the time it takes for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, the two of them transformed into beams of light that appeared in the middle of the battle between the young man from the Third Peak and the two other Sea Corpse Clan Cultivators.
A boom exploded out.
The young man from the Third Peak coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent tumbling backward. In that moment of crisis, a black tattoo suddenly appeared on his neck.
It was a lotus flower that had materialized and floated above his head, neutralizing the black-robed scholar's fatal blow.
On the other side, Xu Qing had already closed in. Black Fiendish Flames erupted from his entire body, and the black iron skewer whistled through the air with a shocking sharpness. He attacked almost at the same time as Xu Qing.
In the blink of an eye, one of the two Sea Corpse Clan Cultivators fighting the young man from the Third Peak had his forehead pierced, while the other had his neck sliced open by the dagger. The Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator whose forehead had been pierced let out a miserable groan and retreated. His hands flashed in an incantation gesture, forming a huge six-armed deity statue in front of him. It roared in all directions and blocked the attack of the black iron skewer.
However, the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator whose neck had been sliced open by Xu Qing's dagger was not so lucky.
The black dagger instantly transformed into flames that covered the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator. At the same time, Xu Qing's left hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator's chest. It tore through his flesh and blood until it reached his heart. The twenty-eight Dharma Apertures in his body all opened, and Black Fiendish Flames surged out madly!
In the next instant, the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator was transformed into a man of flames.
As he let out a miserable shriek, Xu Qing's shadow took the opportunity to fill the air and suck in a deep breath.
Instantly, half of the Sea Corpse Clan Cultivator's body withered away, and the burning of the flames accelerated. The miserable shriek came to an abrupt end, and the Corpse Clan Cultivator died.
As for the shadow, the aura of the Sea Corpse Clan became even stronger, but it was soon digested and suppressed by itself.
All of this might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it all happened in an instant.
After killing one person, Xu Qing turned his head to look at the black-robed scholar from the Sea Corpse Clan. There was a hint of surprise on his face, because the other party had made the same choice as him.
For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on the black-robed scholar's face. He did not pay any attention to the young man from the Third Peak who had escaped death, but instead stared at Xu Qing.
At the same time, ripples suddenly spread out from the Relocation Rune in the distance. As the light shone, an aura spread out, as if a Relocation Rune was being activated.
However, the aura was not strong. It was very weak, as if only a wisp of it had been sent over to observe the surroundings.
However, in the next instant, after the aura spread out, it used some unknown method to sense Xu Qing. After a pause, the ripples in the Rune became violent, and a roar came from the Rune, as if it was coming from the Rune through the void.
"It's you! Wait for me to come out! I'll definitely kill you!"
As the roar reverberated in the air, a wave of Profound Dazzling Qi spread out from the Rune. The other party was the Profound Dazzling Qi Cultivator from the Sea Corpse Clan who had shattered the Rune after Xu Qing sensed it several times.
At that moment, after he sensed Xu Qing's aura, his anger clearly swelled up. He was being Relocation!
