"You're finally willing to come out?"
Almost at the moment Xu Qing's shadow walked out of the vortex between the two huge stone pillars, he heard a voice coming from the front.
The other party's voice was calm without any fluctuations.
Xu Qing looked up. In truth, he had already seen the scene before him through the shadow, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, his heart sank.
There were originally more than 1,000 Sea Corpse Clan cultivators guarding this place. At this moment, they were all kneeling in the distance and didn't come close. There was only one person outside this place.
This person was a young man wearing a golden emperor's robe but no crown. His skin was fair and without any livor mortis spots. His aura was strong and profound, and his eyes seemed to contain stars.
In terms of appearance, he was not as good as Xu Qing, but he exuded a noble aura that made him the center of attention wherever he went.
At this moment, he was sitting on a huge red spirit herb and looking coldly at Xu Qing. There was a black fog floating beside him, and within the fog was a black metal skewer.
It was obvious that the moment the King Kong Sect's ancestor rushed out, the King Kong Sect's ancestor was affected.
Due to the uniqueness of the shadow, it wasn't discovered. At this moment, it was hiding on the spirit herb and was carefully spreading out as if it wanted to get close to the spirit herb and devour the other party's shadow.
"My name is Miao Chen, and I'm this generation's Dao Disciple of the Sea Corpse Clan. Your companion was attacked by Elder Ying Ling and couldn't have escaped."
"Dao Disciple, I'm very curious about who dares to be so arrogant here, so I came out of closed door cultivation to take a look."
"I'm a little disappointed, but your Artifact Spirit is fine. Can you give it to me?" Miao Chen calmly asked.
Xu Qing didn't speak. He stood on the first floor and sensed the surroundings. There were some fluctuations that restricted teleportation, so he would need to go further.
Miao Chen looked at Xu Qing and said, "You don't need to look. Although I don't know how you plan to escape, it's meaningless, because you will become my spoils of war today."
"You're very long-winded." Xu Qing looked at the young man with a kind gaze and said the first thing he said since they met.
When Miao Chen heard this, he stood up and laughed. His laughter grew louder and louder until it stirred up fluctuations in the surroundings and formed a resonance. At the same time, a storm was formed.
As the storm spread out, it seemed to be able to topple mountains and overturn seas, causing the dust on the ground to rise. It also swept the Ghost Orioles and Butterflies out of this area.
The wind was violent, causing Xu Qing's long hair to flutter. His clothes also fluttered in the wind. It was as if the wind wanted to erase his entire body, but it obviously couldn't.
At most, it could only make his hair and clothes flutter. It couldn't shake his body, nor could it block his cold gaze.
Xu Qing looked coldly at the young man in front of him, who seemed to be bursting with energy. Suddenly, he shot forward with incredible speed, leaping into the air toward him.
His Life Lamp burned and his Life Fire was ignited. The Golden Bird Totem behind him emitted flames. With the support of his physical strength, his speed was astonishing. He broke through all obstacles in front of him and arrived in front of Miao Sheng. He raised his right hand and punched hard.
This punch was imbued with the image of the Golden Crow, the soul-devouring power of Xu Qing's fiendish flames, and the monstrous might of the burning continent in his body.
The punch rumbled in all directions as it slammed into Miao Chen's chest.
Miao Chen's eyes were filled with contempt. Just as he was about to wave his hand, the ganoderma below him suddenly turned from red to black. It was as if it had been covered, and eyes suddenly opened on it.
The opening and closing of these eyes formed a strange power that caused Miao Chen's movements to stop.
At the same time, the black lightning talisman on the King Kong Sect's ancestor, who was trapped by the black mist, flashed. When the golden mask exploded, several lightning talismans exploded, exuding extraordinary power.
With a boom, it broke through the black mist and suddenly rushed out. It went straight for the young man's neck with astonishing speed. A series of shocking bell chimes reverberated in the air.
Clearly, the King Kong Sect's ancestor had been trapped before because he had used a trick to beat him at his own game. It wasn't that he couldn't escape, but that he had been waiting for Xu Qing to make his move so that he could erupt at the most critical moment.
Now that he had attacked together with the shadow and Xu Qing, his power was astonishing.
In the next instant, Miao Chen's expression changed for the first time. He couldn't avoid Xu Qing's punch. At the critical moment, his body flickered, and a palm-sized jade coffin appeared above his head.
The moment the coffin appeared, it shone with a bright light. It flowed down like water and surrounded the young man, forming a layer of protection. Xu Qing's fist landed directly on the protection.
Mountains crumbled and the earth cracked. As Miao Chen's body and the kite with the broken string were sent flying, the King Kong Sect's ancestor viciously stabbed forward. With a bang, the lightning spread through Miao Chen's body and exploded all over his body.
At the same time, the shadow appeared behind Miao Chen. The shadow of a tree formed a blurry outline. It opened its eyes and sucked in. Immediately, a large amount of the strange substance in Miao Chen's body spread out.
But all of this wasn't over. Xu Qing didn't slow down at all as he charged forward once more. He punched Miao Chen's protection again and again. Finally, the Heavenly Blade appeared and slashed down.
With a bang, Miao Chen's body was thrown thousands of feet away and landed on the ground, creating a deep pit. The kneeling Sea Corpse Clan cultivators in the distance were all shocked. Just as they were about to approach, a roar came from the deep pit.
All of you, back off! This is my business! "
As the angry roar rang out, the fluctuation of a ball of Life Fire suddenly shone from the pit. Miao Chen's figure walked out. His hair was disheveled, and there was a powerful killing intent in his eyes. As he walked out, the second ball of Life Fire in his body lit up with a whoosh.
Soon after, the third and fourth balls of Life Fire were formed in an instant.
As a Daoist of the Sea Corpse Clan, he had opened 120 Dharma Apertures and formed four Life Fires.
Geniuses like him were usually virgins who were at the critical moment of breaking through. Combined with what he had said before, it could be seen that he was originally in seclusion. However, with such a big thing happening in the Sea Corpse Clan, it was clear that there weren't enough people left behind. Or perhaps he was curious, so he came.
However, he didn't expect Xu Qing to use such a strange method to suppress him. This made him lose a bit of face, so his golden face erupted.
Just as he was about to explode with power, Xu Qingyun closed in on him once again. With his Life Lamp burning, he now had three flames. Combined with his Golden Crow Refines All Spirits body, Xu Qingyun's true battle prowess had reached four flames.
At this moment, he arrived in an instant and attacked once more. He suppressed the young man who walked out of the deep pit.
As a Daoist, Miao Chen was naturally not ordinary. His face was ferocious as he waved his hand and drops of black rain formed around him. In the blink of an eye, they gathered into a black sea that swept toward Xu Qing.
Thunderous rumbles shook the heavens.
The swirling black sea formed a huge mouth and swallowed Xu Qing.
Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, but he knew that he couldn't be left here. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to erupt the spiritual seas in all 65 of his spiritual apertures and spread out, forming a pool of spiritual power that spanned a thousand feet.
Relying on his profound Dharma power, he slammed it down toward the young man.
There was a deafening sound as the black sea formed by the young man's spell collapsed. Xu Qing's pool of magic power also collapsed. In the next moment, the four flames within the young man's body flared up as he suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing and grabbed at his heart.
Xu Qing dodged to the side, then lifted his knee and struck out.
A boom rang out as the two of them exchanged blows. A moment later, the black iron skewer whistled through the air from the side. The Lightning Talismans on its surface flickered, and another ten or so exploded. The skewer shot toward Miao Chen, stabbing toward his neck.
Miao Chen's face flickered, and he was just about to dodge when the shadow shot up from the ground.
Xu Qing also shot forward with explosive speed, and the Fiendish Flames inside of him shot toward Miao Chen's forehead.
At the critical moment, Miao Chen let out a low roar, and the four Life Fires inside of him spread out with all their might, forming a Cultivation Base impact and suppression. The King Kong Sect's Patriarch screamed and was sent tumbling backward. Xu Qing bore the brunt of the impact. His internal organs shook, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
That was because at that moment, even though the shadow was also scattered by the impact, there was still one shadow that managed to touch the young man's body. Then, it burrowed into the young man's Dantian, and just like how it extinguished the Spirit Breath Lamp, it pounced towards the ball of Life Fire as if its life depended on it.
As it pounced, the ball of Life Fire shook, and in the blink of an eye, it showed signs of being extinguished.
This scene once again shocked the Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist. His Life Fire flared up, and the faint Heavenly Palace appeared to suppress it, trying to prevent it from being extinguished.
As a result, he couldn't care about the outside world, and this gave Xu Qing a chance.
The coldness in Xu Qing's eyes flared up completely. This was a life and death battle, and he couldn't care less about being exposed. The Golden Crow formed behind him, and as black flames spread out, it pressed down fiercely on the Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist.
The Golden Crow behind him let out a shocking cry and pounced forward, landing in front of the Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist. The moment his face completely changed, the black flames covered his head and sucked in fiercely!
Refine!
Xu Qing was prepared to use the opportunity he had obtained from the shadow to refine the Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist alive.
The two of them attacked extremely quickly, and outsiders couldn't see them clearly. The Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist seemed to be suppressed, but in reality, he was extremely strong. Xu Qing had also used all his techniques to gain the upper hand.
In a battle between the strong, the initiative was extremely important.
At that moment, as Xu Qing's eyes burned and his Golden Crow Refine All Spirits devoured, the Sea Corpse Clan's Daoist let out a shrill scream. For the first time, fear appeared in his eyes. He could clearly feel his Qi and blood being extracted and his head melting.
This was indeed the case. From a distance, the Sea Corpse Clan's Qi and blood were dispersing, especially the right side of his face, which was facing the Golden Crow. It was indeed melting!
His right ear was gone, and the right side of his face was ferocious. His delicate and handsome face was now completely disfigured!
This scene caused the expressions of the Sea Corpse Clan cultivators in the distance to change. While their hearts were filled with shock, they ignored the Daoist's orders and rushed over.
