The night sky was deep.
The moonlight was cold.
The drizzle fell gently.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky like a silver plate. The moonlight, which carried a hint of coldness, melted into the sudden rain, illuminating the harbor of the Seven Blood-pupil and also flowing onto the eaves of the Dream Savagery Restaurant.
The raindrops formed a line, and the rain line formed a curtain.
The moonlight did not have time to avoid, reflecting a blurry shadow.
It was like a painting of a house in the middle of the night. The scene of the moonlight and the drizzle together was especially rare.
At this moment, on this street covered by the curtain of rain, a figure wearing a gray Daoist robe was holding a white oil-paper umbrella and walking over step by step.
The appearance of the person under the umbrella could not be seen, but his tall and slender body, his tall and straight posture, and the presence he exuded when he walked over caused the raindrops to turn into mist when they got close to him and pass by him.
The mist flowed into the ripples formed by the soles of the shoes on the ground.
Circle after circle, piece after piece, continuous without end.
On the side of the figure under the umbrella, in the shadows of the eaves of the street, there were two other people. One person held an umbrella, the other ignored the falling rain and quickly followed.
The person who came was Xu Qing.
Under the eaves were Mute and Xu Xiaohui.
Although it was night time, for this bustling street, it seemed that all the joy had just begun. The shops on both sides of the street were originally bustling with people, the sound of cups being exchanged, hearty laughter, and flattering people who wanted to refuse but still wanted to refuse. Everything was happening everywhere.
Especially outside some of the luxurious shops, there were many disciples with extraordinary auras guarding there like guards. Most of them were the followers of the important people who were chatting and laughing in these shops.
The target Xu Qing was looking for was also among them.
It was a thin young man. He stood under the eaves of the Dream Savagery Restaurant and was originally chatting and laughing with a female disciple beside him. But in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his head to look at the street.
Not only him, at this moment, all the shops on this street quieted down.
Xu Qing's arrival did not deliberately spread out his cultivation, but the evil aura on his body and the fluctuations formed by his sixty-five Dharma apertures still shocked everyone who sensed it.
Therefore, a large number of gazes focused on him from different directions.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Xu Qing's expression remained the same as he walked step by step to the outside of Dream Indulgence House.
As a window on the second floor was pushed open, the serpent's figure peeked out and made a cheerful sound at Xu Qing. Xu Qing moved the umbrella away and raised his head to see the serpent.
He smiled faintly.
Under the moonlight, amidst the curtain of rain, the youth's smile caused the serpent to pause for a moment.
His body seemed to become even softer, and he instinctively wanted to crawl closer, but he was grabbed by old man Banquanlu behind him, who glared at Xu Qing with an extremely vigilant look.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the shriveled young man who was trembling outside Dream Indulgence Inn.
Rumbling filled the young man's mind, and he began to pant uncontrollably. His eyes stung as he looked at Xu Qing, who looked like a god, causing the air around him to distort.
It was as if the other party had become a huge whirlpool that could devour everything in an instant.
Fear and shock rose madly in the young man's body. As he trembled, his flesh and blood screamed at him, telling him that he was in extreme danger.
Because not only did he see Xu Qing, he also saw Xu Xiaohui, who came with Xu Qing and was staring at him with hatred!
He had seen Xu Xiaohui before. Three months ago, after he killed that lackey Zhou Qingpeng, he felt that someone was investigating this matter. Therefore, he secretly paid attention to her and found Xu Xiaohui, who was searching for clues like a helpless injured deer.
He originally did not care about this kind of weak person who could be killed with one slap, but when he saw how weak Xu Xiaohui was in that situation, he became interested. Therefore, he pretended to help her, and after toying with her for a while, he got bored of her and stopped paying attention to her.
But now, his heart was trembling.
He knew Xu Qing and knew that he was now famous and unparalleled. Before he killed Zhou Qingpeng, he also knew that Xu Qing and Zhou Qingpeng were from the same batch, but that was only the same batch.
In the Seven Blood Pupils, being in the same batch was not important. They were all raising venomous insects, so how could there be friendship?
So even now, he felt that all this was unreal. He even felt that maybe it was not what he thought. Therefore, when Xu Qing walked over, he suppressed his trembling and immediately bowed his head to greet him.
"Greetings … Martial Uncle Xu."
"Is it him?" Xu Qing's gaze fell on the mute man and Xu Xiaohui.
The mute man nodded respectfully. Xu Xiaohui gritted her teeth and glared at the young man. When she saw the jade slip earlier, she actually realized that she had been too stupid during this period of time. At this moment, she nodded her head fiercely.
Seeing this, the thin young man standing outside Dream Pavilion was completely shocked. He instinctively took a few steps back and hurriedly spoke.
"Master, save me …"
His voice almost came out when it came to an abrupt stop. The moment he opened his mouth, a black iron skewer appeared out of thin air beside Xu Qing. It approached him in an instant and directly pierced through his neck.
The power of thunder contained in the skewer instantly spread through the wound and caused the young man's soul to scatter. His body cracked and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
And the thunder in the rain attracted the lightning in the clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a bolt of heavenly thunder rumbled from the sky. It descended rapidly like a silver snake and landed on the thin young man who had already become a corpse.
With a bang, the dry and cracked corpse directly collapsed into pieces of black jerky. Smoke rose from it and scattered all over the ground before it was extinguished by the rain.
This scene was too shocking. It caused great waves in the hearts of all who saw it.
Although killing and condensing Qi in the Foundation Establishment Stage should be so clean and neat, Xu Qing's attack was too shocking. He actually attracted heavenly thunder. This was the reason why the hearts of those who saw it rumbled.
The black iron skewer returned in an instant and quietly floated behind Xu Qing, blending into his shadow.
And the more it was like this, the more it made the hearts of those who saw it tremble.
At this moment, the surroundings also quieted down. Xu Qing was about to leave, but at this moment, a strange voice came from the second floor of Dream Understanding Restaurant. It came from the window that Ling 'er had opened.
"Oh, Little Jian Jian, the one who died was the follower you brought before. He was asking you for help just now." This voice belonged to the captain.
When Xu Qing looked at the snake and old man Banquan Lu, he noticed that there were two auras in the private room. He was very familiar with one, and he was no stranger to the other.
Therefore, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the private room's window.
In the private room, Wu Jianwu, a Peak Prodigy, looked at the captain who had a faint smile on his face. After a few breaths of silence, he snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, he suddenly stood up. The fluctuation of a ball of Life Fire exploded in his body. His aura was like a rainbow, causing the surroundings to shake.
"Wow!" The captain quickly cheered from the side.
Wu Jianwu felt that this person was a fool, and it would be too embarrassing for him to argue with a fool. Therefore, he did not even look at the captain and walked to the window with an extremely gloomy expression.
When he reached the window, the aura around his body fluctuated. His cultivation was extremely violent. Lightning flashed in the sky, and there were also large bronze swords appearing from the clouds, locking on to this place.
It was as if there was a monstrous anger brewing in Wu Jianwu's body, and it could explode at any time. There was also a shocking murderous intent spreading from his body. In the end, it merged into his eyes as he looked at Xu Qing.
"Why did you kill my follower?!" He said this sentence very arrogantly.
Together with the majesty of his body and the gloominess of his expression, while his aura was like a rainbow, he also gave people the feeling that he was a Peak Prodigy.
Especially when the thunder in the sky rumbled as he spoke, exploding in all directions. The large bronze swords that formed emitted an endless amount of sharpness.
This scene caused the hearts of everyone in the surrounding shops to tremble violently.
At this moment, they all left quickly. They had a strong premonition that in the next moment … there would be a great battle.
After all, Xu Qing had killed the follower in front of the owner. This was a slap in the face.
Especially the cultivators of the First Peak, who cared about their reputation the most, would definitely not let this matter go.
At the same time, the giant snake in the private room had a fierce look in its eyes and locked on to Wu Jianwu. It looked like it wanted to slap him, but it was stopped by Old Man Banquanlu.
At this moment, the old man was already overjoyed. He thought to himself, Xu Qing, oh Xu Qing, let's see what you're going to do next. The First Peak was the most protective. Wu Jianwu's eight senior brothers loved to fight in groups.
At the same time, the mute and Xu Xiaohui, who were beside Xu Qing, were also shocked.
The mute raised his head. Even though his body trembled under Wu Jianwu's pressure, he still bared his sharp teeth and stared at Wu Jianwu's neck.
Xu Xiaohui bit her lower lip. She was extremely anxious. She felt that she had implicated Xu Qing in this matter.
However … While everyone's emotions were changing, only Xu Qing's expression remained normal.
He looked at Wu Jianwu, who was standing by the window, with a cold gaze. He did not say a word. As he raised his right hand, a black iron skewer rose from the shadow behind him with a buzz.
At this moment, a long laugh came from Wu Jianwu, who was by the window.
He looked up to the sky and laughed. As he laughed, he nodded. He even let out a sound of approval. His voice was very loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear it.
"I see. What you said makes sense. Since this matter is your personal grudge, then I really shouldn't get involved."
Xu Qing frowned, but he did not speak.
"There's no need to drink. I understand." Wu Jianwu laughed loudly.
"Haha, Brother Xu, you don't have to do this. I really don't have time recently. Forget it. I also admire your magnificent deeds in the Sea Corpse Clan, and you're so polite. Well, since you treat me like this, I'm not a stingy person. I'll pay you the 100,000 spirit stones for killing this person!"
Ling 'er opened her eyes wide. She looked at Wu Jianwu, and then looked at the empty space around her. She did not understand what he was talking about.
"Well, well, we'll meet again later. I'll take my leave first. I've met Brother Xu today. Quickly, in the private room, Wu Jianwu spoke loudly. His voice was hearty. From the beginning, he was dignified, but gradually became happy. In the end, a smile appeared on his face. He saluted Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's expression was strange. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word.
Wu Jianwu quickly glanced at Xu Qing's expression. His heart trembled. He hurriedly flicked his sleeves, kept laughing, and stepped out of the private room.
He stepped towards the distant horizon, facing the lightning and wind.
His figure floated like an immortal, like a beautiful painting, revealing an amazing artistic conception.
"Transcending the mortal world, swallowing the sea of clouds. I became an immortal with him. All the ancient bronze swords in the sky accompanied him. His voice echoed in all directions as he walked further and further away.
