Xu Qing coldly looked over. This was the first time he had seen a cultivator from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan, and he understood what the captain meant.
The person who had appeared wasn't a subsidiary clan of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan but a true member of the clan.
Combined with what the captain had said about entering the forbidden area and feeling the mark, the person who had drawn the mark should be the one who had arrived.
Although Xu Qing hadn't seen a cultivator from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan before, he had some understanding of the clan from the Imperial College's Variant Immortal School books.
Therefore, he knew that because the number of people from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan was much smaller than the subsidiary clans, any cultivator from the clan had a high status in the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan.
This could be seen from the treatment the half of the First Prince's bloodline received.
As for the cultivators from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan, even if they left the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan and entered the territory of another clan, it was the same.
No one dared to casually offend a member of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan. All of this made the cultivators of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan confident and domineering no matter where they went.
The strength of their clan was their source of confidence.
At this moment, it was even more so in the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan.
As the world rumbled, the face that had arrived appeared in the sky above Xu Qing and the captain. The meteors that had arrived with him all landed on the ground.
The forbidden area trembled, all directions trembling. Pressure descended powerfully from the heavens, turning into a single sentence.
"Human race?"
As soon as the words came out, the world changed colors. It was as if the words were law. The power of the law fell on Xu Qing and the captain, trying to control their actions. They even faintly felt like their bodies were going to be torn apart.
The captain's eyes shone with blue light and he was a little excited.
Xu Qing's expression was normal, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Xiao Ying, who was devouring the forbidden area, paused for a moment before continuing.
Seeing that the two humans didn't react to his appearance, the cultivator from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky clan became impatient.
He hadn't been here before but had just arrived. His goal was the forbidden mountain in the forbidden area.
As a participant of the Great Hunt, he needed forbidden mountains. The more, the better. The competition was fierce, so he had sent the servants of the subsidiary clans to the forbidden areas to place his mark first.
With this mark, it meant that he had already secured this place. If others wanted to take it away, they would have to bear the consequences of being killed by him afterwards.
As for him, when he headed to these forbidden areas, he gained some rewards and also failed. He was already in a foul mood, and when he arrived at the forbidden area before him, he saw that the humans had actually dared to barge in. Hence, impatience appeared in his eyes. He lifted his right hand and threw a punch at Xu Qing and Er Niu through the air.
This punch seemed casual, but when it came from the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's clansman, it was earth-shattering.
The Heavens rumbled as the Earth rumbled. A gigantic golden fist shadow appeared between the Heavens and Earth. It spanned an area of 100,000 feet, just like the fist of the Heavens.
His energy was shocking, and his aura could shake hearts and minds. A tempest sprang up, causing the entire restricted area to tremble. The captain laughed loudly, and his bloated body shot forward.
"Just in time. I'll use you to test the effects of this body."
As he spoke, the captain's mountain-like body created a violent whistling sound as it collided with the incoming golden fist.
The deafening sound was like a thunderclap, reverberating in the air.
The captain's body suddenly fell and bounced a few times on the ground. Cracks appeared on the fist shadow in the sky, and in the next moment, it shattered into pieces.
"That's it?"
The captain raised his head and let out a proud voice.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain. He could feel that not only had the captain's physical body become much stronger, but his cultivation had also reached the Void Realm at some unknown time.
"He broke the seal again?"
"Also, Eldest Senior Brother seems to be deliberately angering this Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator."
While Xu Qing was thinking, the captain raised his head to the sky and shouted.
"Come at me again!"
The Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator in the sky looked at the captain. His eyes rippled, and he seemed to become more serious. He raised his right hand and sucked in a breath.
As he sucked in this breath, a tempest sprang up. The foreign substances, Spiritual Qi, and all the Laws in the area surged into his mouth.
With a rumbling sound, a vortex formed. It was a shocking sight.
After sucking in this breath, the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator's body doubled in size. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched out again.
With a bang, the air exploded. A golden mountain even larger than the fist shadow appeared in the sky and pressed down on the captain.
The captain's eyes were filled with disdain. He charged forward again, and once again, he used his body to smash into the mountain.
With a loud bang, the captain's body fell, and the strengthened mountain collapsed.
This time, the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator's eyes became serious. He stared at the captain and was about to speak.
"Too weak, too weak, too weak!"
The captain laughed maniacally on the ground.
When the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator heard his laughter, his eyes flashed with killing intent. He opened his mouth and sucked in another breath. This time, the area affected was even larger. The foreign substances and Spiritual Qi within a thousand miles howled and formed a terrifying vortex in front of him.
He was about to suck it in.
However, it was at that moment that the captain slammed his fist into the ground and used the force of the impact to bounce back up. Then, he increased his speed to the max, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the middle of the vortex formed by the spiritual energy and the heteronormative substance within a five hundred kilometer radius.
The moment he appeared, a look of relief appeared in the captain's eyes. He opened his mouth and sucked in before the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator.
In an instant, the thousand-mile vortex was like a deflated balloon. It instantly shrank and was mostly sucked into the captain's mouth.
The moment he swallowed, the captain's body expanded. His hair turned golden, and his eyes were the same. He looked very similar to the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator.
This scene caused the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator's expression to change. He quickly retreated with a serious expression.
"You're not a human!"
"You're not a human! Your whole family isn't a human! Why are you cursing me while we're fighting?!"
The captain's eyes widened.
"Isn't this the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's unique Nine Breaths Qi Absorption technique? Once it's used, every time you suck in a breath, your strength will increase dramatically. What, I'm not a human just because I can suck in a breath?"
"It's not that I want to criticize you, but why can you only suck in a breath three times? That's not enough, not enough.
Try again, "the captain said excitedly, licking his lips.
Xu Qing's expression was normal. He had felt that the captain's behavior was strange. Seeing this, he should have been surprised that the captain could use the Flaming Moon Technique. However, Xu Qing felt that everything was normal.
Clearly, after a long time of contact, Xu Qing had gotten used to the captain's behavior.
Even if the captain told him one day that he was a god, Xu Qing wouldn't be too surprised.
Therefore, Xu Qing ignored him and continued to move the mountain.
The Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator in midair had an ugly expression. He stared at the captain and suddenly spoke.
"This is the first time I've met such an interesting human. Well, since you can use the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique, I wonder if you can use my Flaming Moon Natural Talent."
As he spoke, the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan's cultivator raised his right hand and pressed it on his forehead. Immediately, the blood in his body surged and exploded, forming a blood mist that shot into the sky.
The entire sky shook, forming a vortex that rolled in all directions. There were even streaks of blood-red lightning swimming in the vortex. The aura was shocking.
In the middle of the vortex in the sky, a scene that would shock anyone who saw it for the first time appeared.
That scene was an unknown land of nothingness.
There was a giant Kun Peng inside!
Waves of Heavenly Dao aura spread out from its body. It wasn't an ordinary Heavenly Dao, but … one of the Ancient Heavenly Daos of the Ancient Gazing Continent!
Countless chains circled around its body, each of them piercing deeply into its body and locking it in place. There was also a huge whip that danced in the air, constantly lashing out at its body.
There were countless wounds, and its flesh was a bloody mess. It was incomparably miserable.
Every time the whip landed, there would be the sound of heavenly thunder. There were also wails from the Ancient Heavenly Dao that echoed in the world.
This sound contained endless pain and an indescribable desire to die. It echoed in the world and formed a sound that surpassed the rules and laws. It rushed toward the captain and Xu Qing.
Those who were affected by it would feel empathy, and once they felt empathy, they would feel pain and want to die.
This was the natural talent of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan.
This clan originally didn't have a natural talent. At most, they had a strong physical body. However, as the era changed and the clan became stronger, they created their own natural talent.
They would bind an Ancient Heavenly Dao and enslave it. Then, with the help of the whip, they would make it wail in pain and form providence to support the clan.
As for how many Heavenly Daos they had sealed, aside from the clan's Si Quan and the god, no one knew.
At that moment, the wail from the Heavenly Dao turned into a voice that ignored cultivation and barriers. It landed directly on Xu Qing and the captain. The pain and desire to die spread rapidly in their minds.
However … Xu Qing's expression was normal, and the captain was still laughing mockingly.
"Son."
The Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan cultivator in the air clearly misunderstood. As the cold light in his eyes became stronger, a crisp squeak suddenly came from the void of the vortex.
The moment this sound came out, it was shocking. It instantly neutralized the wails from the Kunpeng and caused the vortex in the sky to collapse.
The Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan cultivator's body shook violently and he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. His expression was one of shock and disbelief.
"What is this!?"
His breathing was ragged. As he spoke, he quickly retreated. He didn't want to fight anymore. In his eyes, the handsome human was nothing, but the bloated fatty was too terrifying.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate to retreat.
The captain shouted.
"Don't go. Let's fight for a while more."
Xu Qing frowned and calmly said.
"Eldest Senior Brother, stop playing."
As he spoke, Xu Qing raised his right hand and grabbed at the void. Suddenly, black flames appeared, forming a sea of fire. At the same time, the Golden Crow let out a cry from the totem on Xu Qing's body. It rushed out and turned into a black spear.
The moment it appeared, thunder rumbled and roared. The spear was like a black dragon that destroyed the world. The aura it emitted caused the earth to tremble and rocks to collapse.
In the next instant, the black spear soared into the sky.
It looked like a spear, but it also looked like a Golden Crow. The surrounding flames rose from the ground and rushed toward the fleeing Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan cultivator.
