Chapter 181: Jin Wu Descends to the World

At the moment just now, as the black bead from the Sea Corpse Clan warship fell, Xu Qing felt a trace of Sea Corpse Clan heterogenous matter fluctuations in the firmament.

This made him have a judgment in his heart, guessing that these three warships belonged to the Sea Corpse Clan in all likelihood.

Regarding the Sea Corpse Clan, Xu Qing didn't have any good feelings to begin with. He had killed too many.

Today's matter was an unprovoked disaster for him. Although the black bead couldn't cause him any harm, the power contained within it was actually not bad.

Comparable to a full-strength strike of a Foundation Establishment cultivator with one Life Fire!

Especially the rune sealed inside, it seemed even more profound.

Xu Qing's mind recalled the scene he saw before. The rune in the black bead only flashed once, actually making this bead look like a teleportation, appearing abruptly on his magic boat.

Such a change made Xu Qing unable to react in time at all, making it difficult to avoid.

"If the power of that bead reaches two fires or even three fires... this object is a treasure!"

Xu Qing's pupils shrank, and coldness rose in his eyes.

He knew very well that a cultivator who could throw out such a one-time treasure at will, either their cultivation base was not simple, so they had too many treasures.

Or their cultivation base was ordinary but their status was extraordinary.

He felt the probability of the latter was greater.

"So to a large extent, there is a protector."

Xu Qing's gaze did not withdraw. As the sea lizard-like magic boat galloped under the sea, he chased rapidly toward the black dots transformed by the three warships in the firmament.

Not knowing whether there were higher-level powerhouses in the warships, Xu Qing didn't plan to take action rashly.

He was used to lurking, and he was also used to observing silently. At this moment, like a hunter, he was looking for the prey's weaknesses and judging their strength.

At the same time, in the three black wood warships in the firmament, in the first one, the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member sighed.

He stood on the edge of the warship and looked down at the ocean below, with annoyance in his eyes.

He had already vaguely felt that there was an aura in the sea below locking onto their three warships.

This aura... he was very familiar with it.

"Brother Xu Qing, don't be unhappy. I was already very low-key. I originally planned to throw three divine thunders down, but in the end, I only threw one..."

The Third Princess secretly glanced at the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member. Seeing that the other party didn't pay attention to her, she stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the white robe's arm, and shook it a few times.

"Okay, okay, I won't throw things around on the road ahead. Brother Xu Qing, don't be angry. Why are you frowning? What are you thinking about?"

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member heard the name Xu Qing and sighed again, turning to look at the Third Princess.

"I'm thinking about how to make that guy not kill you, and also thinking about how to make that guy not know what I did secretly. Otherwise, he might explode."

"Brother Xu Qing, I don't quite understand what you said..."

The Third Princess's smile was pure and sweet, looking like she didn't understand.

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member waved his hand and was too lazy to say more.

He sighed in his heart that he just found it difficult to obtain contributions, so he wanted to take a shortcut, so he took this mission to find the Third Princess and successfully found and attracted her.

Next, as long as she is sent back to the Sea Corpse Clan, his contribution will not only be enough to exchange for a high-level corpse heart, but after gaining the Third Princess's trust, he can also go to the Sea Corpse Clan's ancestral treasure land to complete his second plan.

And his plan had already been more than half completed. Now it was less than a month's journey to enter the Sea Corpse Clan's territory from this direction.

But... this Sea Corpse Clan princess insisted on throwing such a divine thunder bead.

The white robe sighed, looking down at the sea.

In his perception, the aura of Xu Qing locking onto this place actually chose to give up and no longer follow.

"What's the situation? Did this kid change his temper? Or did he have other important matters?"

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member was surprised, observed for a long time, until the black wood warships moved away from this sea surface, and another three days passed, he finally confirmed that Xu Qing was not following.

"Strange."

Although he was curious in his heart, the white robe also breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of Xu Qing knowing his plan to go to the Sea Corpse Clan; he was guilty that he had impersonated the other party's identity and name.

"It's nothing, I did this to find a Dao companion for him. Right, that's right, I, as a superior, care about the personal life of my subordinates and personally went out to find a female companion for him. This matter, he should thank me!"

The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member coughed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, but he still issued an order to accelerate forward.

At the same time, deep in the seabed, Xu Qing's sea lizard magic boat... still existed!

It was just that at this moment, a black shadow shrouded this magic boat, which was the shadow.

Three days ago, when Xu Qing chased and locked onto it, he also felt that he had been detected, so he put on a scene of leaving. In fact, he secretly controlled the shadow to shroud, completely merging his own aura with the heterogenous matter of the Forbidden Sea.

Then he continued to follow and observe, and this time he didn't have the feeling of being detected, achieving true concealment.

At the same time, this matter also allowed him to investigate some information from the side. For example... there was likely no Golden Core cultivator in these three black wood warships, and even two fires should not exist.

Otherwise, the other party would have detected the aura he locked onto three days ago and should have descended to suppress it at the first time, how could they let him leave.

And in these three days, Xu Qing also observed many things. First was the concealment of the appearance of these three warships, which he saw through in this detailed observation.

The second was the acceleration in speed.

Combining all this, Xu Qing had an eighty percent certainty in his heart that there were no powerhouses in these three warships who were too confident in their cultivation base.

"Since that's the case..."

Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. On one hand, he was very angry about the black bead earlier. On the other hand, since Xu Qing saw the nourishment for opening the magic apertures, there was no reason to let it go.

In addition... since his Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits was delayed by the other party, the Sea Corpse Clan had the obligation to help him complete the final nourishment needed for Jin Wu Refines

Only in this way would it be fair and reasonable.

Thus, as the night of the third day descended, the sky pitch black and the moonlight dimmed, Xu Qing stood on his magic ship beneath the sea, raised his hands to form seals, and pressed down fiercely.

Immediately, his magic ship hummed, the sea lizard's wings snapped open, and its body of several dozen zhang shot straight toward the sea surface in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it broke through the sea and flew toward the firmament. The moment it did, the sea lizard opened its massive mouth, and as golden light shimmered and gathered across its entire body, a golden beam of light was abruptly spat out from the sea lizard's mouth.

This golden beam of light was precisely a strike condensed from the divinity possessed within the sea lizard magic ship.

The moment it appeared, it caused the heavens and earth to change color and the winds and clouds to churn.

The black night sky shone with golden light; blinding and brilliant, its speed was also astonishing, carrying a sense of holiness as it headed straight for... the second of the three black wooden warships!

The next instant, the golden light arrived. No matter how the warship's barrier was activated, it was to no avail; in the blink of an eye, it was torn apart and slammed directly into the warship.

The entire warship vibrated violently, and as its shape buckled, the sea surface erupted once more. A massive Cang Dragon over three hundred zhang long broke through the sea, roared at the sky, and slammed fiercely into the first black wooden warship at the very front!

At the same time, Xu Qing's figure leaped up from the magic ship. The life lamp within his body ignited, the volcano roared and erupted, and the flames across his entire body became monstrous in an instant. His speed reached its peak in one go, heading straight for... the last black wooden warship!

As for the Shadow and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, they did not hesitate in the slightest, unleashing their speed to rush toward the second warship being bombarded by the divinity.

All of this takes a long time to tell, but in reality, it all happened in a flash.

In an instant, the firmament roared continuously, and Xu Qing's figure surpassed lightning, charging directly into the third warship.

The moment he approached, he did not pause in the slightest. His physical strength erupted, and he slammed directly into the warship's barrier.

The sound of cracking spread in all directions, and dense, spiderweb-like fissures appeared before Xu Qing. Then, with a boom, it shattered into pieces, and Xu Qing's figure had already broken inside.

The number of Sea Corpse Clan members on this warship was over thirty. Inside, apart from one Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator who had ignited a life fire, there were two cultivators who had not ignited their life fire, and the rest were all at Qi Condensation!

These people's expressions were filled with horror at this moment, their movements incomparably slow, and even the life fire within that one-fire Foundation Establishment cultivator had only just been ignited.

Xu Qing swept his cold gaze over them. His body did not pause in the slightest, and with one step, he arrived like a thunderbolt before the Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivator who had just ignited one fire.

The instant terror and despair appeared in the opponent's eyes, Xu Qing's right hand had already been raised, and he pressed a palm onto the opponent's brow.

With a boom, the Malevolent Fire Soul-Swallowing Scripture operated!

With a hiss, the totem behind him transformed into countless phoenix feathers, enveloping this Sea Corpse Clan Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the blink of an eye, as both cultivation arts operated simultaneously, the Sea Corpse Clan member's body withered abruptly.

Their soul was extracted, and the source blood of their physical body was refined out as well.

It was a mass of deep blue fresh blood. At this moment, as the phoenix feathers around Xu Qing scrambled to devour it, Xu Qing's body shook violently. From the place where the totem was branded behind him, a strong sense of scorching heat arrived.

Xu Qing's mind stirred. Before this, his Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits was only a sliver away from completing the second stage of the inheritance seed. Now, after swallowing the source blood of a Sea Corpse Clan member, Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits... was finally formed!

The next instant, a hiss that seemed capable of spreading to the nine heavens echoed abruptly from behind Xu Qing. The phoenix feathers around him burned instantly, transforming into black flames that gathered behind his back.

Countless phoenix feathers and countless black flames gathered continuously, forming a vast sea of fire behind Xu Qing. This sea of fire rose to a full several dozen zhang in size, its light illuminating all directions, dyeing everything here black.

The hiss came again, clearer this time, forming precisely from within that sea of black fire.

And the moment it was emitted... this sea of black fire rose abruptly toward the firmament and erupted. A black divine bird took shape within it, then soared into the sky!!

As if it were born from the flames, as if it were formed in the passage of time, a sense of primordial antiquity erupted monstrously from its body, making this black night appear as if it were about to boil at this moment!

Looking from afar, this divine bird possessed the head of a crow, the body of a crane, the tail of a phoenix, and three legs like claws!

Now, as it ascended, black flames flowed across its body and gathered behind its tail, connecting with that sea of fire to form a shocking, fan-shaped tail flame!

It was extremely beautiful and filled with a sense of profound mystery.

And the next instant, this Jin Wu circled and headed straight for Xu Qing, who was standing in mid-air.

Amidst the hissing, it approached Xu Qing, carrying an incomparably intimate feeling, circling around him as if dancing.

Wherever it passed, the tail flames formed waves of fire, illuminating Xu Qing's face clearly and, furthermore, elevating his figure above himself.

At this moment, almost all the Sea Corpse Clan members on the three warships in the sky felt their hearts roar. The moment they looked at Xu Qing, their eyes felt an unprecedented stinging pain.

It was as if, at this moment, Xu Qing, amidst the hissing and circling of that black Jin Wu, had become a truly unfaceable existence!
