His power shook the Heavens. The appearance of the Golden Crow shook everything in all directions.
He headed directly toward the location where the call for help had come from.
He was peerless, his face even more demonic, his flames burning the Heavens.
He neared the location where the call for help had come from!
His crown of flames shot out like lightning, blotting out the Heavens.
The flames rose up like a tidal wave, filled with boundless power as they poured down toward four of the Nightdove's five strongholds.
Booms filled the Heavens, and the ground quaked as the sea of flames swept through. Numerous fleeing Nightdove figures let out bloodcurdling screams as their bodies were transformed into ash.
The sound of collapsing buildings filled the air as Xu Qing's arrival caused the buildings in the area to collapse.
This place was located in the main city of the Fifth Peak. It was a large, three-story building that sold spell formations during the day. Although it had nothing to do with the Fifth Peak, there were still some secret dealings.
Xu Qing didn't care whether or not the Fifth Peak knew that the building was under the control of the Nightdove. After tonight, this place would cease to exist.
At that moment, when he arrived and the sea of fire swept across the area, the members of the Hunters Department who were surrounding the area were all excited and bowed to Xu Qing.
Off in the distance, as the buildings collapsed and the sea of flames spread out, two battlefields stood out. One of them was occupied by seven or eight Vice Chiefs of the Hunters Department, who were working together to summon the power of the Sect's spell formation to suppress one of the Nightdove old men.
The old man wore a luxurious robe, and his face was covered with brown spots. His eyes were filled with shock and anger as he struggled with all his might. Three flames burned inside of him, and his aura was extraordinary.
Normally speaking, he would have been able to kill several of the Vice Chiefs who had reached Foundation Establishment with one flame. However, when combined with the power of the Sect's spell formation, he was unable to kill or escape.
Unfortunately, the Vice Chiefs didn't have much authority, and the power of the spell formation wasn't enough to completely suppress the old man. They were locked in a stalemate, and both sides were injured. However, the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes were all born wolves and raised poisonous insects. Their savagery had something to do with their experiences. Even when they were at a disadvantage, even when they were injured, they were still filled with ferocity.
In the other battlefield, four Vice Chiefs of the Hunters Department were working together with hundreds of disciples to use the Five Peak's spell formation to trap a person.
The man wore a golden Daoist robe and looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a handsome face, and his eyes shone like stars. At the same time, nine flying swords spun around him rapidly, forming streams of sword qi that shook the area.
There were three balls of Life Fire in his body. When they were activated, his expression was filled with rage. He was trying to break the formation and rush out to kill.
Moreover, the formation of the Seven Blood Eyes was ineffective against this person.
Therefore, the Hunters could only use the Formation of the Five Peaks and the support of hundreds of disciples to barely trap them. However, it was clear that they would not be able to hold on for long. At this moment, their faces were all pale, as if they were reaching their limits.
Xu Qing's arrival was like a bolt of lightning that struck this place. The rising sea of fire caused the expressions of the black-robed old man and the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect's disciples to change.
That was especially true of Xu Qing, who was shaken to the core. He knew Xu Qing, and knew how terrifying he was.
When the young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect noticed that Xu Qing had completely ignored the old man from the Nightwalker Sect and was charging towards him, the Sword Qi scattered by his flying swords became slightly chaotic.
"Xu Qing, I'm just passing by. Your subordinate killed Ye Jiu and implicated me. I have nothing to do with Ye Jiu!
"
Almost at the same time that the young man spoke, the Third Peak's Hunter Division's Division Chief who had surrounded him quickly spoke. There was blood at the corner of his mouth and injuries on his body.
"Xu Qing, when we surrounded him just now, this person was having a discussion with the enemy chief of Ye Jiu. The content of their discussion is unknown, but he's definitely not just passing by!
"
Xu Qing nodded and took a step forward. With a wave of his hand, the cultivators from the Hunters Division surrounding the young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect were dispersed by a gentle force. The formation was also instantly dispelled, and Xu Qing walked towards the young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect.
The young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect's expression changed greatly. His breathing quickened as he spoke sternly.
"Xu Qing, Master Sheng Yun is my senior brother. If you hurt me, he will definitely kill you. I …"
The young man's voice was still echoing in the air when Xu Qing had already arrived in front of him with an expressionless face. He was so fast that he completely ignored the young man's flying swords.
The young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect couldn't even see clearly or react. In the next instant, Xu Qing's right hand had already grabbed the young man's neck and fiercely slammed him into the ground.
With a bang, the ground shattered. The young man from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect started bleeding from his seven orifices. Out of the three balls of Life Fire in his body, two of them were extinguished. His eyes were filled with shock. He struggled to control the flying swords around him, but they were too slow.
In the next moment, Xu Qing grabbed the young man from the ground and threw him behind him.
Instantly, cracking sounds echoed within the young man's body. A shrill scream came from the young man's mouth. Many parts of his body had shattered at this moment. As blood filled the air, the last ball of Life Fire in his body couldn't hold on and was extinguished.
When he landed on the ground, he coughed up blood and was seriously injured.
Without needing Xu Qing's orders, the disciples of the Hunters Division immediately went forward and put a ring on him, sealing him tightly.
It was at this point that Elder Nightwalker, who was being held down by the Vice Division Leaders, suddenly unleashed some sort of life-saving technique. A boom could be heard as powerful ripples exploded out from him, pushing everyone away. He quickly pulled out a command medallion and tossed it out. Cracking sounds could be heard as the medallion shattered, causing the Sect's spell formation to weaken.
Using this opportunity, the black-robed Ye Jiu charged out. His eyes were filled with fear as he fled in the direction of the Seven Blood Pupil Mountain.
Xu Qing turned around and coldly looked at him.
He didn't know who this person was, but he could sense that this person's appearance was an illusion, and not his true appearance. The jade slip that had loosened the Sect's suppression was an identity medallion.
The formation's power was average, but it couldn't be loosened so easily. To be able to do this, the only way was … the person's real identity was a disciple of the Seven Blood Pupil Mountain.
For Ye Jiu to exist in the main city of the Seven Blood Pupil Mountain, it was impossible that no disciple of the Seven Blood Pupil Mountain was involved. Xu Qing knew this very well, but he didn't intend to expose this matter.
As he watched the old man's figure disappear into the distance, Xu Qing's expression remained the same. He took a step into the air and coldly looked into the distance. He raised his right hand, and in the next instant, the shadow of a giant heavenly blade appeared above his head.
The saber was shocking, and its aura was boundless. The instant it appeared, the sky changed colors, and an intense killing intent spread out explosively. Everyone who sensed it couldn't help but feel shocked.
This was especially true for the disciples of the Seven Sect Alliance who were paying attention to this battle. Some of them immediately recognized it and exclaimed.
"Tai Cang's One Blade!"
As the exclamations echoed in all directions, Xu Qing looked at the old man Ye Jiu, who was about to disappear from sight, and suddenly swung his right hand down.
In an instant, the Heavenly Saber in the sky shone with a blinding light and slashed towards Old Man Night Poison. It was so fast that it could cut through the stars and cut through the moon. A long arc shot through the sky and closed in on him with a bang.
From afar, the heavenly blade seemed to contain a great amount of power. It caused the sky to change colors and the clouds to churn. The bright light was like a star in the night sky.
When the blade landed, the surroundings trembled.
The Night Dove old man, who was running away quickly, was shocked. The Life Fire in his body burned and erupted with all his might. He wanted to fight back, but it was useless. As the saber light chased after him and flashed past his eyes, his body trembled violently. Despair and bitterness appeared in his eyes as he mumbled to himself.
"So you know Tai Cang's One Blade …"
In the next instant, a wound appeared between his eyebrows. The wound quickly spread to his nose, lips, chin, and chest before spreading to his entire body.
Next, a large amount of blood gushed out from the wounds. His body was split in half in midair. Then, with a loud boom, the two halves of his body shattered again until they turned into a rain of flesh and blood that fell to the ground.
With Xu Qing's current level of cultivation, the Tai Cang's One Blade was much sharper than before. With one slash, he killed Ye Jiu. Everyone in the main city who saw this fell silent.
At the same time, not far from where Ye Jiu died, there was a group of disciples from the Hunters Department on the street. They were investigating all the people who appeared at night.
Their mission was to capture the scattered Ye Jiu who had escaped from the headquarters' destruction and bring them to justice. With the Hunters Department's inescapable net searching, these Ye Jiu remnants had nowhere to hide. It was impossible for them to escape.
However, there were still normal people who had to go out for various reasons under the curfew. For example, right now, there was a thirteen to fourteen-year-old boy standing before the Hunters Department's disciples. His face was filled with nervousness, and his body was trembling slightly.
This boy had just arrived at Seven Blood Pupils yesterday. He had passed the test during the day and was a new disciple of the Sixth Summit. Because the level of the token he had was passable, he was arranged to report to the Sixth Summit's Hunters Department.
Now, on the way back to his residence, he was stopped by the Hunters Department's disciples and searched. During the search, he heard a shrill cry in the sky and saw the Ye Jiu Enemy Chief who had been cut down in midair.
That slash had shocked him both physically and mentally. His eyes were filled with deep desire and indescribable reverence.
"That's the Division Chief of the Seventh Summit's Hunters Department, Xu Qing. He's one of the top figures in our Seven Blood Pupils Hunters Department.
"
Noticing the reverence in the boy's eyes, the Hunters Department's disciples who were searching him looked in the direction of the slash in the sky and spoke with fanaticism in their eyes. Then, they waved their hands at the surrounding team members.
"This boy is one of us. Restrain yourselves. Don't scare him. Let's continue searching for the Ye Jiu remnants. Lord Xu Qing's order is that before dawn, there won't be a single Ye Jiu in the main city!
"
"And you, boy, hurry up and go back. Tonight is not peaceful."
"
The surrounding Hunters Department's disciples were all excited and quickly left. Only the boy stood where he was and looked at the Heavenly Saber's shadow that was slowly disappearing in the sky. There was deep yearning in his eyes.
"I wonder when I'll be able to be like this."
"
As he muttered, the boy quickly left. Unknowingly, the seed of becoming a powerful cultivator had been planted in his heart.
PS: Fourth Update!
I hope that a group of men won't appear in my dreams tonight. A group of young ladies will do too!
