Chapter 162

Not bothering with the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator who had lost the power to resist amidst the screams and was continuously emitting soul power, Xu Qing looked up at the surroundings while absorbing, and the map markers given in the task appeared in his mind.

According to the map markers, this place was one of the teleportation points of this island, and the location was relatively hidden.

And there were actually Sea Corpse Clan members ambushing and fishing here, so one could imagine that the situation was already very bad.

This was somewhat inconsistent with the task jade slip.

Soon, as all the souls of the Sea Corpse Clan members here were taken away by Xu Qing, he turned back and walked towards the teleportation array, wanting to activate it to return.

For situations inconsistent with the task description, Seven Blood Eyes disciples had the right to choose not to participate.

But not long after, Xu Qing's heart sank.

He found that the teleportation array seemed to be suppressed by some strange power and could not go back, only arrive.

"A bit interesting."

Xu Qing simply rushed out, and under this Profound Radiance State, he appeared directly in mid-air.

He didn't stand there foolishly, but while moving rapidly forward, he looked at the four directions closely.

The souls absorbed into his body were also impacting the dharma apertures.

But as the dharma apertures opened to forty, the soul power required subsequently became even more astonishing.

An ordinary Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivator could no longer achieve the breakthrough; more were needed.

Xu Qing also had cognition of this. At this moment, after looking at the entire island from afar, he looked at the drifting black snow and the rain of lava, and his body fell instantly.

He hid on the tree canopy of a forest on the ground.

This tree canopy was now also charred black, the leaves were gone, and only residual wood remained.

Here, Xu Qing extinguished the Profound Radiance State, returned to normal, and frowned slightly.

He had just seen a large number of Sea Corpse Clan armies in the distance, landing from the sea.

At the same time, he also noticed that most locations on this island had figures of the Sea Corpse Clan.

And with so many Sea Corpse Clan members, there must exist Profound Radiance State cultivators, and even Golden Core cultivators might exist.

So Xu Qing extinguished his own Profound Radiance State instantly just now.

He didn't want to attract attention.

"This task really has a problem!" Xu Qing was wary in his heart.

The task prompt did not explain that the situation here was so critical, and clearly, the twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators who took on the task could not resist the Sea Corpse Clan army here; the gap between them was huge.

Just at this moment, Xu Qing's identity token suddenly vibrated. He scanned it and noticed that the task he had taken on it had changed.

"Sea Corpse Clan army raided the Pearl Island Group. The transfer and assistance task has changed. The task reward is doubled, and the task goal has changed. No need to delay. Go to the core of the island with all your might to rescue the Second Peak disciples and evacuate from here!"

"The core areas of each island are equipped with Fifth Peak formation cultivators. After one stick of incense, the sect's Mermaid Island formation will activate the tidal power for an instant to suppress the restrictions of the Pearl Island Group. Disciples can teleport back with the cooperation of the Fifth Peak at that instant."

Xu Qing looked at the identity token, and the task logo on it had become red, which meant this task was extremely dangerous.

"I just wanted to take a simple task to rest, a bit annoying."

Xu Qing sighed secretly, his body retreated fiercely, and he directly hit a Sea Corpse Clan Qi Condensation cultivator who had sneaked over.

With a bang, the huge cultivation gap caused the body of this Sea Corpse Clan Great Perfection of Qi Condensation cultivator to collapse and explode directly.

And Xu Qing did not look back. As his right hand was raised, a huge plesiosaur appeared in the sky and smashed fiercely towards the ground.

With a bang, an astonishing impact was stirred up, causing the trees around to be destroyed one after another, revealing the figures of dozens of Sea Corpse Clan cultivators who had sneaked in and were constantly retreating inside.

These cultivators were all Qi Condensation. Although their bodies collapsed in this impact, their appearance was very unusual.

Because how could Qi Condensation cultivators dare to sneak attack Foundation Establishment? Even if Xu Qing's Profound Radiance State was extinguished now, the Foundation Establishment fluctuation still existed, but soon Xu Qing knew the reason.

He saw some white silk threads in the residual limbs of these collapsed Qi Condensation cultivators.

These silk threads were planted in their bodies, seemingly able to control their behavior and consciousness, like puppets.

And just at the moment Xu Qing saw these white silk threads, two figures suddenly appeared from his two sides, their speed extremely fast, approaching abruptly.

These two were Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators. One of them had a huge tumor growing on his arm, on which a crack opened, revealing a pupil. This was an eye.

This eye stared at Xu Qing, seemingly investigating, and a white light appeared in his eyes.

This scene was the same as what Xu Qing saw when he teleported out before. Clearly, this was a means for the Sea Corpse Clan to investigate whether Foundation Establishment was in the Profound Radiance State.

And the life lamp in Xu Qing's body was covered by the shadow, so it was difficult to be detected.

At this moment, these two Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed to determine that Xu Qing was not in the Profound Radiance State, so they rushed out and unfolded their trump cards, wanting to hunt him.

As they approached, one of them pinched a tactic, and a huge coiled dragon battle axe formed outside his body, emitting heaven-shaking power. While the momentum was magnificent, the black dragon coiled on the battle axe also manifested, roaring ferociously towards Xu Qing.

The other person emerged from nothing around, like puppet-like Sea Corpse Clan Qi Condensation cultivators. Each of these puppets had a ghostly light in their eyes, and at this moment, they surrounded and rushed towards Xu Qing.

At the same time, these two Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators also took out magic treasures and placed them in front of them, making the lethality greater.

And they seemed to be good at joint attack techniques. At this moment, the two dharma apertures operated, and the magic power actually resonated, vaguely manifesting a white bone hand above Xu Qing, carrying a power comparable to the Profound Radiance State, and grabbing fiercely towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at them, then looked up into the distance, and after noticing that this place was still safe, the life lamp in his body was suddenly lit!

Although the opponent was not in the Profound Radiance State, a lion fighting a rabbit also uses its full strength, not to mention that this was a battlefield.

Xu Qing would not do things like capsizing in the gutter.

The next moment, the rumbling erupted. A rising volcano appeared in Xu Qing's body, the light was dazzling, and the momentum was heaven-shaking.

The terrifying power spread instantly, forming a violent impact that roared towards all directions like a landslide and tsunami.

The Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking from both sides changed their expressions one after another, and their pupils contracted instantly.

The Sea Corpse Clan member with the flesh eyeball on his arm had his heart strongly shaken at this moment. The eyeball on his arm shone with crimson light at this moment, seemingly warning them that the Seven Blood Eyes cultivator in front of them was extremely dangerous!

But this warning was still late.

With the lighting of Xu Qing's life lamp, just the spread of the aura made these two Sea Corpse Clan cultivators tremble all over, and their bodies showed signs of wanting to collapse.

And the white bone palm transformed from their joint attack made a cracking sound before it could fall.

Clear cracks formed in the bone palm instantly, and it was about to be torn apart in an instant.

And those puppets at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation were like paper at this moment, their bodies burning rapidly, as if being wiped out!

As for the huge axe whistling towards Xu Qing, it turned crimson as if it was about to melt. The black dragon coiled on it also changed its expression from ferocious to fearful, and it was frantically wanting to retreat.

All of this made these two Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators almost scared out of their wits.

The terror in their hearts rose to the extreme, and their brains buzzed.

They never thought that they had clearly investigated, clearly noticed that the opponent was not in the Profound Radiance State, but the next moment, the terror displayed by the opponent had completely surpassed one life fire.

This was the power of two life fires, this was the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and they knew the degree of terror!

Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment are different.

Having activated life fire and not having activated life fire are even more different.

Between one life fire and two life fires, it is also a gap as deep as heaven and abyss.

It is possible for Qi Condensation cultivators to fight across levels, but between Foundation Establishment, because of this kind of terrifying layer gap, wanting to fight across realms is almost impossible.

And in fact, those who have truly cultivated to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment with two life fires are not many in all forces. Such cultivators are to some extent already in a very high position.

Any one of them is not a nameless person.

To contend with them, only those with two life fires can do it.

So at this moment, they were scared out of their wits and retreated frantically.

But everything around in Xu Qing's eyes became extremely slow. He looked at the two horrified Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators, raised his right hand, and grabbed casually.

Instantly, the battle axe to the side collapsed and exploded.

The black dragon screamed and vanished into ashes.

The white bone above his head was torn apart.

The two Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators who wanted to escape were instantly covered by great force and rolled towards Xu Qing fiercely.

The speed of this rolling was so fast and the force so heavy that their bodies made cracking sounds and twisted directly.

In the blink of an eye, they were grabbed by Xu Qing from the air. As the black evil fire within his body spread, it instantly covered them and sucked fiercely.

Screams couldn't even be transmitted. The dharma apertures within these two Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivators collapsed, their bodies exploded, their flesh and blood were blurred, and their souls were rolled up by the evil fire and poured into Xu Qing's body.

Xu Qing turned around and flickered, walking towards the distance.

This whole process happened in a flash, extremely fast.

Until Xu Qing's figure disappeared in the distance, everything here returned to normal, only... nothing was left.

The ground was withered, the vegetation dissipated, whether it was white bones or battle axes, all the corpses became dust.

They merged with the black snow falling from the sky, indistinguishable from each other, and drifted down slowly.

In the distant horizon, Xu Qing's speed was extraordinary. Under this Profound Radiance State, his figure whistled past like a lightning bolt, heading straight for the core area of this island.

Xu Qing could understand the change in the task.

After all, the battlefield changes rapidly, and many things are difficult to control completely. Being able to adjust the task in such a fast time is enough to show that the Seven Blood Eyes' grasp of this war is still sufficient.

So Xu Qing chose to continue to execute the task and head to the core area to help the Second Peak disciples evacuate.

As for the other Seven Blood Eyes disciples who took on the task, Xu Qing couldn't manage that much.

At this moment, the sound of thunder echoed heaven-shakingly. Because there was only one stick of incense time, Xu Qing couldn't care about attracting attention. The speed was so fast that it was only ten or so breaths, and he saw the core valley in the distance from afar.
