Chapter 165

Xu Qing's figure paused, scanning the fruits on the ground.

Especially looking at the apples, noticing that there were a few big apples inside, Xu Qing was very curious about how the opponent put so many things in the robe.

That white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member's body was originally retreating rapidly, and at this moment, he also paused. The hood scattered, not revealing his appearance, but his hair hung down a bit.

He also looked at the fruits on the ground.

Subsequently, the two looked up at the same time, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Xu Qing was silent.

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member was also silent.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook, the seawater outside the island rolled abruptly, and a heaven-shaking rumbling sound came from the distance, echoing in all directions like a god's roar, causing the whole world to seem to stir up a wild wind.

There was also a purple light spreading from the distance like a sea of light. Looking closely, one could see that this piece of light and the place where the rumbling sound came from was exactly the Mermaid Clan island.

This was... the tidal power of the Seven Blood Eyes array described in Xu Qing's task.

Under the coverage of this sea of light, the teleportation restrictions from the Sea Corpse Clan within this Pearl Island Group were instantly suppressed, allowing the teleportation arrays on the island group to have a certain degree of activation power.

The next moment, as the sky was covered by purple, the teleportation array in the valley behind Xu Qing, which had been adjusted by the Fifth Peak disciples, shone brightly. The first batch of disciples standing within it disappeared instantly and were teleported away.

At the same time, similar teleportations appeared on multiple islands within this Pearl Island Group.

Xu Qing saw this scene, but didn't care. He also felt that the second batch of teleportation in the valley behind him was preparing, and it seemed that it would be carried out soon.

But at this moment in Xu Qing's heart, he was more interested in this white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member in front of him.

So the moment his eyes met this white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member, Xu Qing rushed out abruptly. Under the Profound Radiance State, his speed was incomparably astonishing, especially the power emitted by the life lamp, making his momentum even stronger. In the blink of an eye, he approached the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member. This time, it was not the neck, but he grabbed towards the opponent's hair.

It seemed that he was more interested in this Sea Corpse Clan member's hair now.

This white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member took a breath, and the life fire in his body erupted again instantly, forming a terrifying air wave that spread, avoiding Xu Qing's grab. His body twisted, and he fought with Xu Qing again.

The rumbling sound echoed heaven-shakingly. Xu Qing's figure was so fast that the cultivators in the valley couldn't see clearly at all. Even the Second Peak young woman who hadn't teleported away, at this moment, was nervous and rushed to open the Profound Radiance State, but she couldn't see clearly either, and could only barely see the afterimages.

The earth shook, and the terrifying collision sounds that appeared from time to time were enough to reveal the danger of this battle.

And that white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member also attacked sharply, fighting with Xu Qing outside this valley to the extreme, and also protected his hair.

He was indeed extraordinary. In his attacks, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor couldn't move at all, couldn't catch up, and couldn't see clearly.

Even the shadow was like this. Compared with the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member, its speed was too slow.

Only Xu Qing attacked cruelly, wanting to mess with the opponent's hair many times. At this moment, he raised his right hand, his magic power expanded, and he punched directly. His body flickered to the side, avoiding the elbow from the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member, and he raised his knee to top it fiercely, aiming at the opponent's lower body.

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member's expression changed.

But he was clearly also a ruthless person. He pressed down fiercely with one hand, patted Xu Qing's knee, and at the same time, opened his mouth to spit a thick corpse poison at Xu Qing.

Once this poison came out, Xu Qing's whole body seemed to be about to be corroded, but his expression remained normal. After his knee was blocked, his body twisted, and his left leg swept towards the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member like a whip, aiming at the head connected to the hair.

With a bang, the two sides crossed, and the moment they avoided each other, Xu Qing pinched a tactic and waved his hand. Instantly, black fires spread from his whole body.

Forming flame palms one after another, heading straight for the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member.

This white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member breathed rapidly. Clearly, fighting to such a moment was also a huge consumption for him.

So he roared and raised one hand to pinch a tactic in front of him, pressing towards Xu Qing abruptly.

Under this press, the void in front of him collapsed instantly, spreading rapidly towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression changed, and he dodged instantly.

But just after avoiding it, the white-robed Foundation Establishment suddenly accelerated, appeared directly in front of him, and pressed fiercely.

Blood spilled from the corner of Xu Qing's mouth. After his body retreated a hundred zhang, he also accelerated and approached again. The heaven blade manifested and appeared ten times, falling together, slashing fiercely.

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member's eyes contracted, unable to dodge. Amidst the rumbling, his body was also blasted back hundreds of zhang, and while spitting out a mouthful of blood, he rushed out again.

Xu Qing was the same. The moment the two figures were about to touch in mid-air, Xu Qing bent his knees and topped the opponent's lower body fiercely again.

It seemed that in his cognition, the opponent's lower body was its weakness.

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member cursed, but the sound was drowned out in the rumbling.

Madness appeared in his eyes. This time he didn't block, but also bent his knees, and in mid-air, they fiercely... collided together.

At the same time, Xu Qing's hand finally grabbed the opponent's hair and plucked a handful fiercely.

Subsequently, a muffled groan and a scream came from their two mouths.

The muffled groan was Xu Qing, and the scream was the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member. Although the sounds were different, the retreat of the two was the same, both with unnaturally bent knees.

However, compared to Xu Qing, the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member's knees were bent and sunken, clearly the injuries were heavier, and his forehead was sweating more painfully.

Xu Qing retreated, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. In front of the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member, he raised the hair in his right hand, shook it slightly, and the hair turned into fly ash and dissipated.

This scene was exactly the same as a certain picture in the past, except that it was one strand at that time, and now it was a handful.

After the hair dissipated, Xu Qing was eager to try and was about to rush again, when an anxious sound came from behind him.

"Senior Brother, the tide is about to end, this is the last teleportation about to open!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Just at this moment, a black fire rose in the distant horizon, as if to cover half the sky.

In this flame, there was a Sea Corpse Clan figure. Looking from afar, it seemed to be a dwarf, walking towards this Pearl Island Group with his hands behind his back.

Wherever he passed, the seawater split by itself, forming a large rift like a canyon, spreading rapidly as he walked.

The entire Pearl Island Group was shaking, and the terrifying pressure changed the color of the world, and the wind and clouds rolled back.

Xu Qing's eyes condensed, and without any hesitation, his body retreated abruptly, and he retreated back to the valley in an instant. At this moment, the second batch of teleportation had ended, and the third batch of teleportation was beginning.

The Seven Blood Eyes crowd in the teleportation array had originally been paying close attention to that battle of Xu Qing, waiting anxiously for the array to open, and also waiting for Xu Qing to return.

Now, with Xu Qing's instant appearance, the Fifth Peak disciples within it opened the array without hesitation. With the help of the tide in the sky, the array shone brightly instantly.

And the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member outside the valley did not chase.

He stared at Xu Qing standing there. The two looked at each other across the array, and both saw a trace of strangeness in each other's eyes.

The next moment, their eyes were blocked by the array light, the teleportation began, and everyone in the array, including Xu Qing, disappeared instantly.

Until Xu Qing and others left, the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member turned back to look at the horizon and found that the Sea Corpse Clan Golden Core cultivator had gone to other islands. He couldn't help but grin in pain, making a hissing sound.

He rubbed his knees hard with his left hand and touched his head, which had a handful of hair missing, and began to curse in his heart.

"What's the situation? How long has it been since we last met? How did this kid become so powerful? It hurts so much."

"Especially since this kid must have recognized me, actually specifically hitting my lower body, and so vengefully plucking my hair. How mean, no respect for superiors at all. Didn't I just pluck one of his hairs last time!!"

"Is it easy for me? That big plan must have a high-level corpse heart of the Sea Corpse Clan. This thing can only be exchanged with the contributions of the Sea Corpse Clan. Damn it, I spent a huge price to pretend to be a perfect Sea Corpse Clan member."

"I originally planned to come over to scare him, take some alchemy furnaces back to get some contributions, and when I met this kid, I just wanted to hide my identity and beat him up, and by the way, leave a photo to commemorate, to avenge the poisoning in the Mermaid Island passage last time."

"So painful!" This white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member waved his right arm, which had collapsed by a small half, and I don't know what method he unfolded, but his arm actually grew back in a low roar.

Subsequently, he breathed rapidly. After a long while, he recovered. While cursing, he limped to the place where the fruits were scattered.

At this moment, most of the fruits had collapsed in the previous battle between the two, and only half an apple remained. He picked it up with heartache, looked around, and took a bite.

But the next moment, his eyes opened wide, and he spat it out quickly.

"The apple is poisonous!"

This white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member cursed, secretly saying that this would not work. As a leader, he couldn't lose face. Later, he had to find an opportunity to unseal another seal to teach that kid a lesson. He had to maintain his majesty at all times.

Although he couldn't bear it if he unsealed another seal, for the sake of dignity, he felt he had to get his face back. With this thought, he flickered and went away.

At the same time, on the Mi'e Island of the Mermaid Clan, with the shining of a teleportation array, the figures of Xu Qing and others appeared from within. As soon as he walked out, Xu Qing felt that the atmosphere of this front-line command post was very tense, and figures were whistling past in the sky one after another.

The rumbling of war in the distance was intense, and everyone was busier than before. At this moment, as soon as they teleported out, more than half of them clasped their fists to Xu Qing and said goodbye.

That Second Peak life fire young woman was also like this. After exchanging the records of the sound transmission jade slip with Xu Qing, she left in a hurry.

Gu Muqing was the same. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Xu Qing. Xu Qing also returned the jade slip controlling the Forbidden Elixir to her. Before leaving, he had already activated the Forbidden Elixir.

"Senior Brother Xu, my task with my fellow disciples is not finished yet. Next, I am going to another place to activate a Forbidden Elixir. I heard from my master that this time the war has been prepared by our Seven Blood Eyes for many years and is a sure win. Next, there will be some bigger actions. Senior Brother, be careful yourself."

Gu Muqing spoke softly, her expression a bit hesitant, and suddenly approached Xu Qing a bit, saying a sentence in an extremely low voice.

"I am a core disciple, so I must complete some tasks many times, but Senior Brother, you actually don't have to be like this, especially... regarding the task of the seven guard islands of the Sea Corpse Clan, Senior Brother must not take it..."

After saying this, Gu Muqing bowed to Xu Qing and walked away quickly.

Xu Qing was thoughtful and took out his task token to check. On it, his rescue task had already shown a completed state, and more tasks were constantly refreshing.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over, but the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member who had fought with him before appeared in his mind. Although the opponent was a Sea Corpse Clan member no matter how he looked, and the corpse poison also met the characteristics of the Sea Corpse Clan, Xu Qing felt a sense of familiarity after only a few moves.

He was familiar with the opponent's eyes, and he was also familiar with some of the opponent's attack movements, especially the apples on the ground.

"How did the Captain become a Sea Corpse Clan member? Did he fancy something of the Sea Corpse Clan, so he didn't know what method to use to dress himself up as a Sea Corpse Clan member?"

"Of course, it is also possible that he was unlucky, was killed by the Sea Corpse Clan, and was transformed into a Sea Corpse Clan member."

If it were someone else, Xu Qing would feel that the second possibility was greater, but if it were the Captain, he felt that the first possibility was more in line with the opponent's crazy personality.

"However, with the Captain's petty nature, he will definitely not accept it this time. His cultivation is unfathomable. Perhaps he will find an opportunity to fight back later. I must open dharma apertures faster!"

Xu Qing's expression revealed seriousness.
