The moment the captain and Xu Qing charged over, the words of the Starfish Tribe's patriarch reverberated in all directions. He stood up and took a step forward.
The moment his foot touched the ground, overlapping shadows appeared on his body. It was as if there were two illusory resentful spirits rising from his body and spreading out to his left and right.
In the next instant, the body of the Starfish Tribe's patriarch split into two. Two identical bodies charged towards the captain and Xu Qing respectively.
They were so fast that one of them instantly closed in on Xu Qing. He raised his right index finger and pressed it towards Xu Qing's forehead.
There was even a mocking smile on his lips. As his finger pressed down, a monstrous might erupted. The power of his Golden Core suppressed everything in all directions, causing Xu Qing's body to tremble. The Vital Fire in his body seemed to be hit by a violent gust of wind. It flickered as if it was about to be extinguished.
At that moment, the black metal skewer that the King Kong Sect's Patriarch had transformed into whistled through the air. He wanted to stop the patriarch, but the Starfish Tribe's patriarch flicked the metal skewer lightly.
The black metal skewer immediately trembled and was sent flying. Some cracks even appeared on it. Then, the Starfish Tribe's patriarch lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground.
The earth rumbled and the shadow that appeared under his foot instantly dissipated.
"Is that it?"
The Starfish Tribe's patriarch shook his head and pointed his index finger at Xu Qing's forehead. Just as it was about to land, the Golden Crow behind Xu Qing suddenly appeared and sucked in his direction.
The Starfish Tribe's patriarch's body trembled. It was a little blurry, but he still pressed his finger on Xu Qing's forehead. However, the moment he pressed his finger, the Golden Crow's flames swept over.
Xu Qing's eyes were filled with madness. He did not dodge at all. Instead, he used his own skull to crash into the Starfish Tribe's finger.
With a bang, the Golden Crow was somewhat dispirited, but it still managed to suck in a bit of Qi and blood. Xu Qing's forehead crashed into the Starfish Tribe's patriarch's finger with full force.
With a cracking sound, a strange light appeared in the Starfish Tribe's patriarch's eyes. His finger was broken.
With a bang, Xu Qing's body was thrown into the distance by the powerful force. The protection from the pendant prevented him from being injured. Only the Qi and blood in his body tumbled about due to the impact, but he soon managed to turn his body around and land on the ground. He lifted his head and stared at the Starfish Tribe's tribe leader, whose expression had changed from one of amazement to one of astonishment.
On the other side, the captain was also facing the other body of the Starfish tribe's tribe leader. That person also lifted his finger and pressed it against the center of his brows.
However, the captain's solution was the same as Xu Qing's.
The seals in his eyes were instantly undone, and his aura continued to erupt. Just like Xu Qing, he didn't dodge. Instead, he chose to advance.
What was different was that he didn't use his head to hit the Starfish Tribe's patriarch's finger. Instead, he opened his mouth and bit down on the Starfish Tribe's patriarch's finger!
All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, it all happened simultaneously. The Starfish tribe leader split into two bodies and attacked Xu Qing and the captain at the same time.
In the next instant, the Starfish Tribe leader's finger was bitten by the captain. A cracking sound could be heard, and although the finger wasn't bitten off, it tore through the skin and blood flowed out.
As for the captain, a few of his teeth were broken and he was forced to retreat. However, his eyes were still filled with madness.
He formed a seal with both hands and took out a shield. After blocking the power of the Golden Core, he was thrown far away.
"Interesting."
The two bodies of the Starfish Tribe leader lowered their heads and looked at their fingers. Then, the two bodies instantly fused back into one. The injuries on their fingers were instantly healed.
Their Golden Core Cultivation erupted at this moment. Xu Qing's eyes stung and his body trembled. He felt as if the sun was attacking him, but killing intent still rose in his eyes.
The captain was the same. Although he was missing a few teeth, it seemed to be more convenient for him to stick out his tongue and lick his lips. He even had the mood to grin at Xu Qing with a pleased expression.
In the next moment, the Starfish Tribe leader let out a cold harrumph and took a step forward, heading straight for the captain. However, before he could take three steps, his expression suddenly changed.
His finger, which had already healed completely, was now covered in a black bruise. It was as if there was a large amount of poison spreading throughout his body.
Right now, if someone could see through his body and look inside, they would definitely see a large number of small black bugs.
They were madly biting and devouring the body of the Sea Corpse Tribe leader, releasing a large amount of foreign matter and intense poison.
This was the cooperation between Xu Qing and the captain.
Xu Qing was very clear about the captain's habit of attacking. After all, the captain was biting the Sea Corpse Tribe statue, and he was doing the same with the Golden Core octopus. Therefore, when the captain was eating an apple, Xu Qing sent the small black bugs over.
When the captain noticed it, he didn't care. He allowed the small black bugs to hide in the gaps between his teeth. Just now, when he had bitten through his flesh, the small black bugs had successfully burrowed in.
At this moment, the moment the Starfish Tribe leader's expression changed, the captain sneered. The madness in his eyes became even stronger and he directly charged at the Starfish Tribe leader. Xu Qing did the same.
As he charged out, the shadow under Xu Qing's feet suddenly spread out and formed a domain. At the same time, all the thunder talismans on the black metal stick exploded and the Golden Crow behind Xu Qing overlapped with him once more.
The life lamp and life fire in his body were released at full power. At this moment, Xu Qing also pushed his physical strength to the limit. At the same speed, he threw a punch at the Starfish Tribe leader with all his strength!
Xu Qing used everything he had in this punch. It was the combination of his life fire, life lamp, the power of the Golden Crow, and the power of more than 60 Dharma apertures in his body. Everything was concentrated in this punch, and the moment it was unleashed, it caused a storm to rise up around him.
It turned into a sea of fire that surged into the sky!
This was the fire of the Golden Crow, the life lamp, the life flame, and the fire of anger!
The captain also erupted. The seals in his eyes were released one by one. Gradually, an indescribably low temperature appeared around him. The ground was frozen and snowflakes appeared around him.
These snowflakes gave off a shocking coldness. This coldness was even stranger than many other strange things. Not only was the ground frozen, even one's will could be frozen.
Even the sky began to change. Boundless frigid qi began to rise up from the captain, creating a stark contrast with the scorching heat coming from Xu Qing.
This fire …
This ice came from two different directions and charged at the Starfish Tribe leader, who was hit by the small black bugs. It arrived in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the moment it arrived, the madness in the captain's eyes became even stronger. A hand strangely reached out from his chest!
This hand was an ice hand, a blue ice hand. It didn't look like the hand of a human. It was covered with sharp bone spikes, and at the same time, there was a face in the middle of the open palm.
That face was the captain's, but his eyes were closed as if he was sleeping.
The appearance of this hand caused the Starfish Tribe leader's pupils to shrink. He wanted to dodge, but the small black bugs inside his body exploded. The explosion created an even denser foreign substance and poison that caused the Starfish Tribe leader's body to stop.
The moment he stopped, the hand that reached out from the captain's chest pressed against the Starfish Tribe leader's forehead.
With a bang, the boundless coldness exploded out. Cracking sounds could be heard as the Starfish Patriarch's body was sealed in ice. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's full power attack created a sea of fire. He took advantage of this opportunity to take out the ancestor's calligraphy and let out a roar.
"Fire!"
In an instant, the word "fire" became a bit blurry and turned into a green fire. It brought with it a powerful aura as it swept toward the Starfish Tribe leader.
The killing intent in Xu Qing's eyes was also strong. The power of fire in his body gathered in his fist and slammed into the Starfish Tribe leader's frozen body.
When the punch landed, cracks instantly appeared on the Starfish Tribe leader's body. He was surrounded by fire, and the fire that came from the ancestor was too powerful. As it enveloped him, the sound of burning echoed in all directions.
Under the fire, the Starfish Tribe leader's body was being burned and dissipated. However, strangely, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was great surprise.
"There's even the word" Almighty "!"
In the next instant, the body of the Starfish Tribe's tribe leader crumbled with a bang. However, at the moment his body was destroyed, a tentacle as thick as an arm stretched out from his crumbling body and whipped towards Xu Qing and the team leader.
The force of this whip caused the void to collapse like a mirror. The terrifying power could destroy one's soul. Xu Qing and the captain trembled and were uncontrollably sent flying.
At this critical moment, Xu Qing pulled the captain to his side and used the pendant Godfather Liu had given him as a shield to block the violent impact. The two of them retreated 1,000 feet. They both coughed out blood and felt intense pain in their internal organs. At the same time, they quickly raised their heads and looked toward where the tentacle had appeared.
There … as the dust dissipated, a figure could be vaguely seen. It was walking forward step by step.
Silver tentacles danced around the figure. Occasionally, a few would rush out of the dust and become clear.
It could be seen that they weren't tentacles at all, but thick nematodes. They bared their sharp teeth and let out ferocious roars at Xu Qing and the captain!
Soon, the figure completely walked out from the dust and entered Xu Qing and the captain's eyes!
It was a foreign tribe member that was more than 10 feet tall. Its body was silver, and it had a triangular head. Its eyes were double pupils, and it had a long tongue in its mouth. Its entire body was covered in dancing nematodes.
And then …
As it appeared, a terrifying wave of energy that caused Xu Qing and the captain's hearts to tremble erupted from its body. Dense divine energy spread out, distorting all the space around it.
This was not a Golden Core, but a Nascent Soul!
As it erupted, the world changed colors and the wind and clouds surged. Xu Qing and the captain had no choice but to retreat once more.
"I didn't expect to see two decent house sparrows in such a small place. One has a fourth-stage strange creature sealed in its body, and the other has a strange Emperor-level cultivation method and divine ability. At the same time, it has words left behind by a mighty figure. It's a pity that its body doesn't have as many strange creatures sealed in it as the other."
A cold and gloomy voice slowly came out from the mouth of this strange foreign tribe member.
When Xu Qing heard this, his eyes narrowed, but then he let out a sigh of relief. This foreign tribe member had clearly only seen a part of him. It hadn't seen his life lamp or shadow, and it hadn't sensed the back colored crystal. The captain also let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that his thoughts were similar to Xu Qing's.
Then, the two of them sensed each other's relief. They looked at each other.
