Chapter 198: Shadow Emperor

Night sky, deep.

Moonlight, cold.

Drizzle, falling.

The bright moon hanging high like a silver plate in the deep night sky, with moonlight carrying a hint of chill, melted into the sudden rain, making the harbor of the Seven Blood Eyes shine, and also flowed onto the eaves outside the Zhimeng Building.

Raindrops became lines, rain lines became curtains.

The moonlight didn't have time to dodge, reflecting a blurry shadow.

It was like a painting of a deep night with half a family, especially the scene where moonlight and drizzle were together, which was rare.

At this moment, on this street with hazy rain, a figure wearing a gray Daoist robe was walking step by step, holding a white oil-paper umbrella.

The appearance of the person under the umbrella could not be seen, but the slender body, upright posture, and the aura exuded when walking made the rain automatically turn into rain mist after approaching, passing by his side.

Pouring into the ripples formed by the soles of the shoes stepping on the ground, circle after circle, piece after piece, continuous.

On one side of the figure under the umbrella, in the dark place of the eaves of the street, there were two more people, one holding an umbrella, one ignoring the sprinkling of rain, following quickly.

The person who came was Xu Qing.

Under the eaves were the mute and Xu Xiaohui.

Although it was night now, for this prosperous street, it seemed that all the joy had just begun. The shops on both sides were originally noisy, with sounds of pushing cups and changing lamps, hearty laughter, and the refusal to welcome with flattery, which were everywhere.

Especially outside some luxurious shops, there were many disciples with extraordinary auras, guarding there like guards. Most of them were followers of the big figures who were talking and laughing in these shops.

The target Xu Qing was looking for was also among them.

That was a thin and dry young man. He was standing under the eaves of the Zhimeng Building, originally talking and laughing with a female disciple beside him, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head to look at the street.

Not only him, but all the shops on this street were quiet at this moment.

Xu Qing's arrival did not deliberately spread his cultivation, but the malevolent aura on his body and the fluctuation formed by his sixty-five Dharma Apertures still made everyone who sensed it feel shocked.

So a large number of gazes looked over from different places.

Under the gazes of these people, Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and he walked step by step to the outside of the Zhimeng Building.

As a window on the second floor was pushed open, the big snake's figure poked out from inside, making a happy gurgling sound at Xu Qing. Xu Qing moved the umbrella away, raised his head, and saw the big snake.

He smiled slightly.

Under the moonlight, in the rain, the young man's smile made the big snake's call pause for a moment.

It seemed that the body was softer, and it instinctively wanted to crawl out and get closer, but was grabbed by the Banquan Road old man behind him, looking at Xu Qing with extreme vigilance.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the thin and dry young man who was trembling outside the Zhimeng Building at this moment.

This young man's heart set off a monstrous roar. His breathing was rapid and uncontrollable, and his eyes were even stinging. The figure of Xu Qing he saw in his eyes was like a god, distorting the void around him.

As if, the other party itself became a huge vortex that could instantly swallow everything of his cleanly.

Fear and horror appeared crazily on this young man's whole body. His body trembled, and all his flesh and blood were screaming at him, telling him that it was extremely dangerous at this moment.

Because, he not only saw Xu Qing, but also saw Xu Xiaohui who followed Xu Qing and was full of hatred for him!

He had seen Xu Xiaohui. Three months ago, after beheading that small fry Zhou Qingpeng, he felt someone investigating this matter, so he paid attention to it secretly and discovered Xu Xiaohui, who was lost and helpless like a wounded little deer looking for clues.

For this kind of fragile person who could be slapped to death with one slap, he originally didn't care. However, looking at Xu Xiaohui's weak appearance in that situation, he also had interest, so he pretended to help and played for a while before getting tired of it, so he didn't care anymore.

But at this moment, his heart trembled.

He knew Xu Qing and knew that the other party was now famous and incomparable. Before he killed Zhou Qingpeng, he also knew that Xu Qing and Zhou Qingpeng were in the same period, but they were just in the same period.

In the Seven Blood Eyes, the same period is not important; they are all raising insects. How could there be any friendship?

So even now, he felt that all this was unreal, and even felt that perhaps it was not what he thought. So when Xu Qing walked over, he endured the trembling and bowed immediately.

"Greetings... Greetings... Martial Uncle Xu."

"Is it him?" Xu Qing's gaze fell on the mute and Xu Xiaohui.

The mute nodded respectfully, and Xu Xiaohui gritted her teeth and glared at the young man. After seeing the jade slip, she actually realized that she had been too stupid during this time, and nodded fiercely at this moment.

Seeing this, the thin and dry young man outside the Zhimeng Building had his heart roaring completely, and instinctively retreated a few steps and spoke hurriedly.

"Master, save me..."

His voice had just come out when it stopped abruptly. A black iron sign appeared out of thin air from Xu Qing's side the moment he spoke, approached instantly, and pierced directly through his neck.

The thunder power contained within it spread throughout his body along the wound in an instant, making this young man's soul fly away and scatter, his body cracking, as if about to collapse.

And the thunder in the rain led the lightning in the sky clouds. In the blink of an eye, a sky thunder roared from the sky, falling like a silver snake onto the thin and dry young man who had already become a corpse.

With a boom, his cracked corpse collapsed directly, becoming pieces of black meat, smoking, falling to the ground, and extinguished by the rain.

This scene was too shocking, making everyone who saw it feel a monstrous wave in their hearts.

Although a Foundation Establishment cultivator killing a Qi Condensation cultivator should naturally be clean and efficient, Xu Qing's strike was too astonishing, actually triggering heavenly lightning to arrive; this was the reason for the roaring minds of those who saw it.

The black iron sign returned instantly, quietly floating behind Xu Qing, melting into the shadow.

And the more this was the case, the more it made the people who saw it tremble in their hearts.

The surroundings were quiet at this moment. Xu Qing was about to leave, but at this moment, a surprised voice came from the second floor of the Zhimeng Building, from the window pushed open by Ling'er.

"Oh my, Little Jianjian, the one who died is the follower you brought before, he was asking you for help just now."

This voice was the captain's.

Xu Qing had noticed that there were two more auras in the private room when he looked at the big snake and the Banquan Road old man before. One he was very familiar with, and the other he was not a stranger to either.

So Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the window of the private room above.

In the private room, First Peak genius Wu Jianwu looked at the captain who was smiling but not smiling, and after being silent for a few breaths, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and stood up suddenly. A fluctuation of life fire erupted in his body, and his momentum was like a rainbow, making the eight directions shake.

"Wow~" The captain shouted in cooperation on the side.

Wu Jianwu felt that this person was a fool, and if he cared about a fool, it would be too shameful, so he didn't even look at the captain, and walked towards the window with an extremely gloomy face.

After reaching the window, his entire body's aura fluctuated, his cultivation base violently intense. Amidst the lightning and thunder in the sky, there were actually bronze greatswords emerging from the clouds, locking onto this location.

It was as if there was a monstrous anger brewing in this Wu Jianwu's body, which could erupt at any time, and there was even a shocking murderous intent permeating his body, finally melting into his eyes, looking at Xu Qing.

"Why did you kill my follower!!"

He said this sentence very proudly.

Cooperating with the majesty on his body and the gloominess of his face, while his momentum was like a rainbow, it also gave people a sense of genius.

Especially between his words, the sky thunder roared, exploding in all directions, and those bronze big swords that were formed exuded endless sharpness.

This scene made everyone in the shops around feel their hearts shake wildly.

At this moment, they left quickly one after another. They had a strong premonition that next... I'm afraid a big battle would happen here.

After all, this Xu Qing killed a follower in front of the master, which was like slapping someone in the face.

Especially the First Peak disciples, who cared most about face, would definitely not let it go.

At the same time, the big snake in the private room had murderous intent in its eyes, locking onto Wu Jianwu, wanting to pull him, but was hugged by the Banquan Road old man.

This old man was already happy in his heart, secretly thinking, Xu Qing, oh Xu Qing, let's see how you handle this next. The First Peak is the most protective of its shortcomings, and these eight senior brothers of Wu Jianwu like to fight in groups the most.

At the same time, the mute and Xu Xiaohui on Xu Qing's side were also shocked.

The mute raised his head, even though his body trembled under Wu Jianwu's pressure, he still revealed sharp teeth, staring at the other party's neck.

And Xu Xiaohui bit her lower lip, feeling extremely anxious in her heart. She felt that she had implicated Xu Qing in this matter.

However... amidst the changes in everyone's mood, only Xu Qing's expression was as usual.

He looked at Wu Jianwu standing by the window, his eyes cold, without saying a word. His right hand raised, and the black iron sign rose from the shadow behind him with a hum.

Just at this moment, a long laugh came from Wu Jianwu by the window.

He laughed up to the sky, nodding while laughing, and even transmitted a voice with a sense of agreement, and the sound was very loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear it.

"So that's how it is. What you said makes sense. Since this matter is your private feud, Wu should indeed not participate."

Xu Qing frowned. He didn't speak.

"Drinking wine is unnecessary. Wu understands this matter." Wu Jianwu laughed loudly.

"Haha, Brother Xu doesn't need to be like this. I really don't have time recently. Forget it, forget it. Wu also admires your great feat in the Corpse Clan, and you are so polite. Alright, since you treat me like this, Wu is not a stingy person. The ten thousand spirit stones for killing this person, Wu will pay for you!"

Ling'er widened her eyes, looked at Wu Jianwu, and then looked at the emptiness around him, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Hmm, okay, let's gather again when we have time. Wu will leave first. It's a pleasure to know Brother Xu today."

In the private room, Wu Jianwu spoke loudly, his voice hearty. From the majesty at the beginning, he gradually became cheerful, and finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he clasped his fists at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression was strange. From beginning to end, he didn't transmit a single word.

Wu Jianwu swept over Xu Qing's expression quickly, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly flicked his sleeves, kept laughing, and stepped out of the private room.

He walked towards the sky in the distance, facing the lightning, wind, and rain.

His figure was ethereal like an immortal, like a beautiful painting, exuding a shocking artistic conception.

"Supernatural and refined in the world, I become an immortal with clouds in my chest."

And as he moved forward, all the bronze ancient swords in the sky accompanied him, and his voice echoed in all directions, walking further and further away. ===== CHAPTER 199 =====
