Heavenly thunder exploded!
Rumbling sounds echoed through the heavens and earth. The clouds in the sky were thick and heavy, as if there were creatures from outer space constantly bombarding each other.
Sometimes there would be muffled thunder and sometimes there would be a series of loud explosions. This caused all of the residents of the main city to wake up from their dreams.
Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and tore apart the dark night. The sun, which was covered by clouds, seemed to have a chance to breathe at this moment. It worked hard to bring its light to the human world along with the rain.
In the morning, the rain was even heavier.
The wind outside was also much more violent than at night. It was like the roar of a giant. The roar spread out in all directions, as if it was competing with the thunder in the sky. It reverberated through the horizon, filling the air with echoes that lingered for a long time.
On the street in the rain, the figures under the black paper umbrella gradually blurred.
One could only see the rain pouring down from the umbrella. As for the parts that hit the paper umbrella, there was a splashing sound. As if they hadn't completed their mission and weren't willing to be blocked, they flowed along the edge of the umbrella and turned into lines of rain.
They fell one after another, reuniting with their companions on the ground.
The ripples formed by their reunion completely washed away the blood from last night. But, they couldn't wash away the sin of humanity in this cruel world.
"Everyone's heart is locked with sin. It's just that in this chaotic world, this lock can be easily opened." Captain Lei once said this with emotion during a meal.
Xu Qing felt that this made sense.
The rain became more and more fierce and the thunder became louder and louder. Xu Qing's mood slowly calmed down amidst the roaring thunder and wind.
Unknowingly, he had returned to the 79th port. On the violently tumbling sea, he habitually checked his surroundings and then set down his magic boat.
He stepped inside. As the magic boat swayed violently, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged in the dark shelter.
With the protection activated, the rain couldn't enter. For Xu Qing, who had already adapted to all of this, the shaking of the ship didn't cause him any discomfort.
Instead, as the ship swayed, the roaring outside, and the wind and rain filled the sky, his heart became increasingly calm. He lowered his head and began to refine pills.
During this period of time, Xu Qing went to the medicine shop many times to buy medicinal herbs, and the number of white pills he refined increased. Not only that, but the number of black pills and poisonous powder was also increasing.
The number of small compartments in his black-canopied cabin had also increased. Large amounts of Yang and Yin Evil herbs could be seen within them.
"I need to find a time to go out and find a place to refine poison."
Xu Qing's gaze swept over the small boxes. He raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion. Stalks of medicinal herbs flew over, and in the midst of the wind and rain outside, he continued to refine medicine.
Time passed slowly, and the rain grew heavier and heavier throughout the day. It was as if it were about to turn into a tempest, and shockingly huge waves were set off.
Countless waves crashed onto the shore of the harbor, causing a large number of boats to shake violently. Fortunately, the boats in the harbor were all spiritual boats. After activating their defenses, they could resist the waves. However, from afar, they looked like falling leaves on the sea, constantly swaying.
Because the wind and rain were too strong, there weren't many ships entering the harbor, and even fewer going out. Thus, most of the departments were closed, and the disciples were in their own residences, rarely going out.
The entire Seven Blood Pupil port area stopped operating due to the increasingly shocking storm.
Only the massacre … was still going on.
When the night of the second day arrived, the storm outside grew even stronger. The heavenly thunder completely merged with the wind, and the crazy roars spread throughout the entire harbor. Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes in the cabin of the spiritual boat that was shaking violently.
A sense of danger emerged in his mind.
This sense of danger didn't come from the weather outside, but from the shore outside the spiritual boat.
Although the wind and rain were violent and scattered a lot of the poisonous powder that Xu Qing had placed around the boat, there were still some traces of the poisonous powder that could last longer in the wind and rain. This was the first warning that Xu Qing had prepared for himself.
Once someone came close, they would be contaminated by the smell of his poisonous powder. If they stepped onto his spiritual boat, then it would fuse with the other poisonous gases that Xu Qing had placed in the spiritual boat, turning into a fatal poison.
In addition, the increase in his spiritual power during the entrance test and the continuous improvement of the Sea Transformation Scripture during this period of time made his senses far sharper than those of his peers.
Thus, under this double vigilance, Xu Qing knew that … someone was approaching from outside, and this person was right outside the spiritual boat.
The cold light in Xu Qing's eyes was restrained. He didn't wait inside the spiritual boat, but directly walked out of the cabin. He stood on the deck of the boat and looked outside from within the protective barrier.
The outside world was filled with wind and rain and lightning flashed. On the shore of his berth stood a figure wearing a straw raincoat and holding a jug of wine in his hand.
He looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing looked back at him.
After a while, the figure in the straw raincoat slightly lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a middle-aged face. He smiled at Xu Qing.
"Junior Brother Xu, you don't have to be so vigilant. It's me. I went out to buy wine and passed by here. I wanted to ask if you want to drink with me?
In this damned weather, wouldn't it be better to drink some wine together? "
This person was a disciple of the Arresting Department. He was in the same team as Xu Qing and had once invited Xu Qing to drink with him.
Xu Qing didn't speak and coldly looked at the middle-aged cultivator in front of him.
Seeing Xu Qing like this, the middle-aged cultivator smiled helplessly.
"Fine. The environment of this ghost sect makes it hard for people to trust each other, but I don't mean any harm.
Junior Brother Xu, I just want to be friends with you. Many people in the team have drunk my wine before. Since you don't like it, I'll take my leave. "
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head and turned to leave.
But at that moment, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
"Fine, you can board the boat."
The middle-aged cultivator stopped and looked at Xu Qing with some surprise. He then looked at his boat. A dark light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he shook his head again.
"Forget it, I won't force others."
With that, he quickened his pace. But after just five or six steps, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came. A dagger broke through the wind and rain at an astonishing speed and directly approached him.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged cultivator dodged. His expression changed and he was just about to turn around when Xu Qing's figure rushed out of the spiritual boat with a black iron skewer in his hand.
"Junior Brother Xu, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged cultivator's pupils constricted, and he retreated at top speed, performing an incantation gesture with one hand. Instantly, the rain in the area stopped and then shot toward Xu Qing. However, before it could reach him, Xu Qing waved his hand, causing the rain to tremble and then change directions to shoot toward the middle-aged cultivator.
The middle-aged cultivator's mind trembled, and he suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis. He quickly bit the tip of his tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood, which transformed into a blood mist that fought back against the rain of arrows. He immediately retreated, preparing to flee.
However, it was too late. He had misjudged the level of Xu Qing's Cultivation base. Instantly, Xu Qing closed in like a hot knife through butter. The iron skewer in his hand flashed like lightning, emitting a cold glow as it shot toward the middle-aged cultivator's forehead.
The coldness was bone-piercing.
The middle-aged cultivator's eyes were crimson, and he roared. His Cultivation base exploded with power, and several layers of protective shields appeared around him. At the same time, a vicious, bloody mouth appeared on his chest. It tore through his clothes and let out a piercing roar as it charged toward Xu Qing.
Rumbling filled the air as the layers of shields collapsed. However, the black iron skewer was still struck by the sound waves from the vicious mouth on the middle-aged cultivator's chest.
The middle-aged cultivator took advantage of that moment to wave his right hand, and the flagon of alcohol shot toward Xu Qing. At the same time, his body exploded with power as he shot backward at top speed.
As soon as the flagon appeared, it exploded in midair. What was inside was not alcohol, but rather, a thick venom. It exploded and spread out in all directions, carrying with it an intense corrosive effect that seemed capable of instantly melting away the protective shields of the spiritual boat.
Xu Qing's eyes flickered coldly. He had sensed that something was off earlier, but hadn't been certain. However, it was a night filled with wind and rain, and the fact that the middle-aged cultivator had appeared was strange. Therefore, Xu Qing decided to take the initiative to attack.
Killing intent flickered in his eyes as he looked at the fleeing middle-aged cultivator. Instead of pursuing him, he lifted his right hand and made a grasping motion.
The Sea Transformation Scripture in his body suddenly erupted.
Instantly, the surrounding rainwater trembled and madly gathered toward the middle-aged cultivator from all directions, faintly forming a large hand made of rainwater. No matter how the middle-aged cultivator struggled or how shocked he was, it was useless. The hand made a grasping motion.
There was a loud bang.
The middle-aged cultivator's body was frozen in place by the large hand for a long time. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with terror. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Qing's figure had already arrived. He closed in on the middle-aged cultivator in the blink of an eye and slashed the dagger in his right hand across the middle-aged cultivator's neck.
The force was so great that the head flew up.
At the same time, blood splattered everywhere. The large mouth on the middle-aged cultivator's chest suddenly protruded and bit down on Xu Qing's right hand.
The Sea Mountain Art in Xu Qing's body suddenly circulated, and a giant shadow appeared on his arm. It roared soundlessly at the large mouth and directly resisted it. The large hand made of rainwater also exerted force to crush it.
With a loud bang, the middle-aged cultivator's headless corpse collapsed into a pile of flesh and blood. The large mouth on his chest also shattered into pieces. Only Xu Qing stood where he was, his chest rising and falling slightly.
The battle seemed to have ended quickly, but in reality, the middle-aged cultivator's cultivation was extraordinary. His combat strength was astonishing and was comparable to Xu Qing's strength before he entered the sect.
Even Qingyun Zi, who was killed by Xu Qing yesterday, was far from being a match for this person. After all, a cultivator of the Sea Transformation Scripture with Seven Blood Pupils was much stronger than other small sects and factions.
At that moment, Xu Qing quickly scanned the surroundings to see if the middle-aged cultivator had any accomplices. In the storm, the entire harbor was pitch-black. There was only the violent wind and the flashing lightning.

Last night, I had a dream. In the dream, I actually entered Xu Qing's world … I transmigrated to become the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect. I'm a little anxious and don't know what to do. I'm waiting online …
