Chapter 15

Looking at his gaze, those besieging the Lei Team were exactly the Blood Shadow Team!

At this moment, in the firmament, the sunset slowly fell, and the afterglow was visibly replaced by the dark night in the distance.

It seemed that it wouldn't take too long before darkness could cover the whole earth.

And bursts of icy cold also gradually germinated from the dark color, permeating in all directions.

The jungle still in the afterglow was like a struggling old man, unwilling to fall, and the light of the sunset seemed not to have much strength to help, penetrating the dense tree leaves powerlessly, dim and sparse.

But Xu Qing, who was hiding in the tree crown, was different; he looked coldly at the battlefield, reflecting all the scenes into his icy eyes.

The Blood Shadow Team had a total of five people, two of whom were the main force of the strike, and three were blocking the way in the surroundings, preventing the Lei Team from escaping.

The latter's cultivation was equivalent to Luan Ya, both were at the third layer.

They didn't dare to get too close, circling on the periphery, but the existence of the three made the Lei Team have to be distracted.

As for the former two, one had spiritual energy fluctuations erupting from his body that were only a thread away from the Lei Team; clearly, he was also at the sixth layer of Qi Condensation, and was also an old man.

He had disheveled hair and a fierce glint in his eyes; at this moment, his clothes were torn, and one could see that the muscles all over his body seemed to be about to expand and burst; he was exactly the captain of the Blood Shadows who ate dog meat raw.

At this moment, this Blood Shadow captain licked his lips, while striking like thunder, while staring coldly at the Lei Team whose body was becoming increasingly blue.

"Today, the Lei Ting Team will inevitably be removed from the camp; Lei Team, you might as well commit suicide; otherwise, if you fight to alienation like that Man Gui, you won't even have a whole corpse after death, which is too undignified. If you commit suicide, I will take good care of your team members."

"That's right, Lei Team can rest assured; after you die, the other few people in the Lei Ting Team, we will take good care of them when we go back; I've long wanted to try the taste of that Luan Ya, and there's also that kid you brought back; selling him to be a Treasure Raiser should also be worth some money."

After the Blood Shadow captain's words, the other person who was besieging the Lei Team with him spoke.

This person was a middle-aged man, ugly in appearance, with a high bulge on his back as if deformed, and one eye was blind; within the only remaining single eye, there was bloodthirst at this moment; the spiritual energy fluctuations around him were not as good as his captain, but they exceeded the Shi Zi in Xu Qing's impression, reaching the fifth layer of Qi Condensation.

But it wasn't very stable, as if he had just broken through not long ago.

Facing the verbal provocation of the two, the Lei Team was expressionless, only his eyes seemed to have a will to die, and his strikes were even more rapid.

For a time, the Blood Shadow duo, who didn't want to be injured too heavily for the sake of beheading the Lei Team, all retreated slightly and began to fight while moving.

Clearly, they were determined in their hearts that today was bound to succeed, so they prepared to drag the other party to death.

"One at the sixth layer, one at the fifth layer, three at the third layer!" The murderous intent in Xu Qing's eyes was sharp; in reality, he could leave, but he valued kindness very much; the Lei Team had been very good to him from beginning to end, so Xu Qing didn't plan to leave, but swept over the battlefield and the surrounding environment at high speed.

This place was not open, there were many trees, the light was obscure, and there were many dark spots, suitable for striking.

After making a judgment in his heart, the murderous intent in Xu Qing's eyes, who was crouching on the tree crown, erupted in an instant.

He kicked his legs fiercely on the tree crown, borrowed strength to gallop, and his whole person turned into an arrow off the string, approaching suddenly.

The Haishan Technique Third Layer combined with the physical strength brought by the purple crystal was fully displayed at this moment.

His speed was so fast that he left clear residual shadows on the tree crown, making it so that when the people on the battlefield hadn't reacted, Xu Qing's figure had already arrived on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Appearing beside one of the three on the periphery.

That was a thin and small youth, whose triangular eyes were still reflecting the figure of the Lei Team being besieged; for Xu Qing's appearance, he didn't have the slightest perception.

Until the cold wind blew on his face, he was stunned for a moment, just about to turn his head, the next moment... an iron sign, carrying terrifying strength, pierced through directly from the position of his temple.

Without waiting for the corpse to fall, without waiting for the miserable shriek to be emitted, Xu Qing's body didn't pause; he bent his waist, his soles borrowed strength from the ground to kick backward, his speed erupted, and he rushed to the front of the second person in an instant.

This second scavenger's expression changed greatly, his pupils contracted, just about to retreat, but Xu Qing had already arrived, and his fist, carrying the astonishing strength of the Haishan Technique Third Layer, landed instantly.

With a rumbling sound, it hit his chest; the flesh and blood collapsed like mud in an instant, and the back even exploded with fresh blood; accompanied by the 'ka-ka' sound of bone cracking, Xu Qing's left hand waved, and the dagger, carrying terrifying strength, was thrown out, drawing a long trace, and shot toward the third person at extremely fast speed.

The second person's chest bones shattered, his heart collapsed, and his back exploded; at the same time, the third scavenger on the periphery finally woke up completely.

He was horrified, just about to have some action, but after a blur before his eyes and a gust of wind blowing on his face, his body stiffened in an instant, his eyes opened wide, and the instinct of his body made him use his last bit of strength to raise his hand and touch the cold dagger that had pierced into his brow.

The force of the dagger was so great that the edge of his brow was concave, bones shattered, and his head split!

All this happened in a flash of lightning.

Xu Qing's speed was too fast, and his strikes were even more decisive; at this moment, following the fall of the first and third corpses, the person whose chest bones shattered and heart collapsed also fell, revealing the youth's figure.

The youth was bending his waist, black long hair covering the upper half of his face, but it couldn't hide the cold and sharp eyes like a wolf between the hair.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the Lei Team and the Blood Shadow duo who were shaken by his strike.

The wind in the surroundings seemed to have solidified at this moment.

The Lei Team's eyes, full of will to die, finally had waves at this moment; he looked at Xu Qing deeply and suddenly gave a low shout.

"Kid, go quickly!"

Xu Qing didn't listen to the Lei Team's request, but stared at the captain of the Blood Shadow Team, and his eyes narrowed.

The captain of the Blood Shadow Team also looked at Xu Qing squarely for the first time; especially after sweeping over the three corpses beside Xu Qing, his face twitched slightly; he had to admit that his judgment of the Lei Ting Team had a miscalculation.

Man Gui's fearlessness of death was one, and this sudden kid was the second.

"Kill him!"

The Blood Shadow captain snorted coldly, deciding not to delay the battle to avoid injury anymore.

At this moment, during his words, the spiritual energy aura all over his body erupted, and he threw a punch toward the Lei Team, clashing with the Lei Team in an instant.

And the middle-aged man at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation beside him grinned, turned around, and headed straight for Xu Qing.

While walking, spiritual energy was released all over his body; while walking, he was still pinching his finger joints with both hands, revealing cruelty in his eyes.

Although this youth's speed was astonishing and he had killed three people in an instant with his strike, he was still determined that with his fifth layer cultivation that had just broken through, beheading the other party would be easy.

The cold glint in Xu Qing's narrowed eyes grew thicker.

Relying on the judgment of his previous strikes, he believed he could kill the fourth layer of Qi Condensation; as for the fifth layer... he hadn't fought one, so he didn't know.

At this moment, with a flicker, Xu Qing rushed out violently, his speed erupted, heading straight for the middle-aged man, and after approaching in an instant, he threw a punch.

The middle-aged cultivator's mouth revealed contempt.

Almost the moment Xu Qing arrived, the spiritual energy fluctuations outside this middle-aged cultivator's body directly transformed into an invisible barrier, clashing with Xu Qing's fist.

In the rumbling, the barrier appeared with cracks, but it didn't collapse.

Instead, a strong counter-shock force was emitted from within, making the wrist Xu Qing touched emit a 'ka-ka' sound, actually dislocating directly.

Xu Qing's eyes shrank slightly; while his body wandered rapidly, he swung his right hand fiercely, forcibly returning the dislocated part, and the vicious glint in his eyes shone; he didn't retreat, but threw another full-force punch.

With a loud 'bang', the barrier that was permeated with cracks finally shattered completely this time.

But the moment it shattered into pieces, a violent impact expanded outward from within, lifting the soil at the same time, and this impact also blew on his face in an instant, covering Xu Qing's whole body.

Especially the invisible fragments formed by the shattering of the barrier were like sharp blades that couldn't be seen, drawing one bloody mark after another on Xu Qing's body, shocking to the eye.

Xu Qing's whole body shook.

His thin and small body was rolled back repeatedly by this impact; wounds appeared in many places, bleeding profusely; the wrist that had just recovered was dislocated again at this moment, hanging unnaturally on the side.

"Ignorant!"

"A mere Body Tempering, originally not worthy of fighting a Dharma cultivator, let alone you, with the third layer, not knowing your own strength, fighting my fifth layer."

In the falling soil, the contempt in the middle-aged cultivator's eyes grew thicker.

But there was also shock in his heart; it was really because he hadn't expected that his spiritual energy barrier would actually collapse under the other party's second punch.

Fortunately, he had broken through to the fifth layer not long ago, making his own spiritual energy barrier have an eruption after shattering, otherwise, he would have been in a mess just now.

Xu Qing's brows furrowed, as if he couldn't feel the intense pain of his whole body and arm; while staring at the middle-aged man, he placed his right hand on the ground and pried it fiercely, returning the dislocation again.

This scene of ruthlessness toward himself was seen by the middle-aged cultivator walking toward Xu Qing; his steps paused involuntarily, his eyes shrank slightly, he raised both hands rapidly, formed a seal, and pointed toward Xu Qing.

Immediately, spiritual energy gathered outside his body, actually transforming into a fireball the size of a head, whistling toward Xu Qing.

This fireball had an astonishing momentum; during the process of arrival, the surroundings appeared twisted and rising, showing the temperature was extremely high.

After arriving in an instant, Xu Qing's body flickered to avoid it, but that fireball still chased.

The middle-aged man's eyes shone with murderous intent at this moment; not forgetting to form a barrier outside his body, he actually formed a second and third fireball while forming a seal, which also chased Xu Qing.

Seeing the arrival of the three fireballs, blocking the route, Xu Qing's eyes shrank; he rolled to the side of one of the corpses he had killed, and swung the corpse violently to smash toward one fireball.

With a 'bang', the fireball clashed with the corpse, and in an instant, the corpse burned; the process took less than three breaths before it turned into ashes.

This scene gave Xu Qing an intuitive judgment of the power of the fireball.

At this moment, there was even more residual heat invading, making his whole body instantly red, and his body flickered, just about to avoid it, but the second and third fireballs had already arrived at this moment.

And under the cunning glint in the middle-aged man's eyes, he didn't give Xu Qing a chance to dodge, and the fireballs exploded violently the moment they approached Xu Qing.

Bang!

The flames expanded, the range was large, and the lethality formed by the high temperature was astonishing.

In this area, Xu Qing couldn't dodge completely at all; at this moment, although he avoided most of it with his speed, his whole body still had dense blisters, and under the evaporation of water vapor, his internal organs felt like they were all burning.

"Fire Crow, hurry up!"

In the distance, the Blood Shadow captain, who was fighting the Lei Team, roared low at this moment.

"Understood, Captain; this little wolf cub can take at most two more of my fireballs before becoming a dried corpse!"

The middle-aged man called Fire Crow replied with a smile, looking at Xu Qing, the cruelty in his eyes grew thicker; he raised his right hand, and two more raging fireballs appeared around him; with a wave of his hand, the fireballs flew toward Xu Qing rapidly.

He was worried that Xu Qing would dodge, so he followed the same pattern, controlling these two fireballs to explode violently the moment they approached Xu Qing, covering the surroundings, and sealing all the places where Xu Qing could dodge.

High temperature permeated, the ground had flames burning, and the trees were instantly turned into ashes, unable to cover the afterglow of the firmament, making the sunlight fall in a large range and fuse with the firelight, covering Fire Crow's eyes.

But he was very confident; his fifth layer cultivation fireball would not have any problems extinguishing the third layer.

So he wiped his hands; although he was slightly panting, his expression carried contempt, and he turned to walk toward the place where the Lei Team and the Blood Shadow captain were fighting.

"Lei Team, your people, are no good."

While walking, Fire Crow spoke coldly, but he didn't see the Lei Team's despair, but instead saw the Blood Shadow captain's expression appear with changes.

Fire Crow's reaction was also fast; his body retreated to the side violently.

But it was still late; a thin and small figure shot over from behind him, and threw two consecutive punches, slamming onto the spiritual energy barrier outside his body.

The barrier shook violently, and immediately shattered; the impact erupted, forcing Xu Qing's body to retreat, but a dagger and an iron sign, carrying a whistling sound, were thrown out fiercely, counter-attacking.

It was just that the impact brought by the barrier collapse possessed a certain resistance, making the speed of the dagger slower when approaching Fire Crow, giving Fire Crow a chance to dodge.

His body retreated rapidly, but one ear was still pierced by the dagger, blood splashed everywhere, and the iron sign also pierced through his chest, making him spit out fresh blood, but unfortunately, it wasn't a vital point and couldn't be fatal.

The intense pain made Fire Crow's eyes red, and he let out a roar, retreated after avoiding it, and looked behind him violently.

What entered his eyes was the youth's figure, who was stepping on the gradually extinguished flames on the ground, retreating to seven or eight zhang away, crouching on the ground, ready to strike like a wolf.

Still full of blisters, whole body red, but at this moment, the sunset afterglow reflected into the youth's eyes, and within them... the cold glint was like ice, and the murderous intent hadn't decreased in the slightest!
