Chapter 242: The Seventh Peak

The Jin Wu rose, and as the sea of fire flowed, the countless ferocious faces on the ghost umbrella emitted sharp, fierce sounds at this moment, wanting to suppress it, but it was of no avail.

It was rushed into by the Jin Wu in an instant.

The sharp sounds of the fierce ghosts became shrill screams. The entire ghost umbrella was visibly burning, and all the strange faces within it were scrambling to escape, but they could not do so.

In the blink of an eye, they were all burned by the Jin Wu. At the same time, the large number of strange bodies transformed by the white-clothed woman Prince Sima Ru were also about to dissipate under the eruption of the Jin Wu's sea of fire.

But Prince Sima Ru's combat power was extraordinary. Although her heart was filled with shock at this moment, she still rushed toward Xu Qing from all directions, shuttling through the sea of fire, transforming into countless faces, and pouncing fiercely to bite and devour Xu Qing's whole body.

Yin winds blew, and they wanted to blow out the life fires.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, and all the magic apertures in his body rose. At this moment, he felt that continuing to hide the magic apertures was meaningless. The woman in front of him, with four-fire combat power, was difficult to suppress. Thus, ninety magic apertures erupted like a furnace, rising earth-shakingly.

And his magic apertures were different from others. His magic apertures were even more vast, and each of them actually contained five hundred zhang of spiritual sea.

Such astonishing spiritual seas formed even more terrifying magic power. And under the support of this kind of magic power, the degree of Xu Qing's life fire combustion was incomparably terrifying.

This yin wind... perhaps it could blow out the life fires of most people, but it could not move Xu Qing's fire.

His life fire burned, shocking the world. At this moment, letting those strange things approach, they could do nothing to him, let alone his physical body strength, which had reached a considerable level with the cultivation of the Jin Wu.

At this moment, his entire body's blood energy erupted fiercely, directly forming a piece of blood light that merged with the sea of fire, spreading outwards with a rumble. All the strange things that touched it emitted shrill screams, as if they were wiped out.

Prince Sima Ru's transformations were no exception. At this moment, they all collapsed, re-forming into mist and rolling back, gathering into a ball not far away, but even more terrifying aura was emitted from within.

Following a roar, this mist actually transformed into a huge fierce beast with three heads.

This fierce beast looked like a tiger, with two heads in front and one head in the tail. The moment it appeared, there were gusts of wind in all directions, and an astonishing fluctuation formed ice cold. While erupting in all directions, this ghost tiger pounced toward Xu Qing.

Its speed was so fast that it approached in an instant.

There were even a large number of ghost souls scattered from its body, turning into substitute ghosts, rotating in the surroundings to form a vortex storm, as if it could tear everything apart.

Cold light rose in Xu Qing's eyes. His body took a step, and in an instant, he arrived in front of the ghost tiger. He raised his right hand, and the Malevolent Fire in his body erupted, forming a huge flame fist, and he threw it down.

With a bang, the ghost tiger roared and avoided it, approached Xu Qing, and opened its mouth. Its mouth opened and closed extremely exaggeratedly, as if it could devour everything, and it pounced fiercely toward Xu Qing to swallow him.

Xu Qing's gaze was calm. He pinched a secret technique with his right hand and pointed upwards. Instantly, the sea of fire outside his body spread out, and a Cang Dragon manifested directly. Its size far exceeded the ghost tiger, and its open mouth even more exceeded the opening and closing of the ghost tiger's mouth, and it swallowed fiercely.

With a bang, the ghost tiger collapsed, and shrill screams came from within. But Prince Sima Ru was indeed extraordinary. After the Cang Dragon swallowed her, the next instant, she actually collapsed and exploded. Countless mists gathered from within, and in mid-air, she actually manifested a third strange form.

That was a strange thing with wings on its back, pitch black all over, looking like a Luo Sha.

After forming, it emitted a low roar toward Xu Qing and was about to rush over, but the next moment, black lightning penetrated from the clouds and mist in the sky.

It headed straight for this Luo Sha, and the shadows on the ground spread, covering it.

Prince Sima Ru's transformed Luo Sha's expression changed, and she dodged to avoid the black iron skewer and the shadows on the ground, but she could not avoid Xu Qing here.

Xu Qing leaped out, his whole person's momentum was majestic. After approaching in an instant, he grabbed the Luo Sha's neck and smashed it fiercely toward the wall on the side.

Amidst the roar, the wall collapsed. While the Luo Sha's body shook violently, a large amount of Malevolent Fire was emitted from Xu Qing's hand.

Cruelty appeared in his eyes, and he began to refine it.

In an instant, the ninety-first magic aperture in Xu Qing's body actually showed signs of opening during this refining process.

Prince Sima Ru's transformed Luo Sha struggled violently. Xu Qing snorted coldly, swung it up fiercely, pressed it on the ground, and squeezed it fiercely. With a bang, the Luo Sha's body collapsed and exploded.

Seeing that there was still mist spreading, the Jin Wu in mid-air emitted a hiss and sucked fiercely. Instantly, the mist headed straight into its mouth. Seeing that it was about to be devoured.

But just at this moment, these mists gathered crazily, and a fourth form appeared!

That was a bloated giant with a body of a full hundred zhang. Its weight seemed incomparably astonishing, and it actually forced itself to sit on the ground, attempting to confront the Jin Wu.

But clearly, she was not qualified enough. Cold light appeared in the Jin Wu's eyes, and it devoured again. And Xu Qing also swayed and walked over.

He looked at this fourth form transformed by Prince Sima Ru, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

The absorption just now actually allowed him to open a magic aperture instantly, which made Xu Qing look at Prince Sima Ru at this moment as if looking at a treasure.

Thus, after approaching, while the huge bloated giant was struggling, Xu Qing's whole body's Malevolent Fire erupted, and after covering it fiercely, he refined it again.

The giant transformed by this fourth form of Prince Sima Ru revealed terror in its eyes and struggled violently but could not break free.

Seeing that both Xu Qing and the Jin Wu were absorbing, and even the shadows on the ground were rushing over anxiously, and the black iron skewer in the distance was about to approach excitedly.

Prince Sima Ru revealed suspicion in her eyes and did not hesitate at all. This fourth form of hers exploded on its own.

Amidst the earth-shaking loud noise, the violent impact spread with a rumble toward the four directions. This was the self-explosion of four-and-a-half-fire combat power. Its degree of ferocity was extremely great, forming terrifying fluctuations that swept across everything.

And with the help of the fourth form's self-explosion, a black arm bone rushed out from within the collapsed fourth form, heading straight for the outside of the Criminal Division!

This arm bone was the core of Prince Sima Ru's clone. At this moment, she had already deeply recognized Xu Qing's terror and did not want to continue the battle. As soon as it appeared, it wanted to escape at full speed.

And the timing she chose was indeed very good. The astonishing power of the self-explosion could have blocked all pursuit, but she misjudged Xu Qing's strength.

Thus, the next instant, Xu Qing's figure actually rushed out from the fluctuations of her self-explosion, grabbed it, and his speed was so fast that he approached in the blink of an eye.

At the critical moment of crisis, the arm bone of Prince Sima Ru burst out with dazzling black light. Knowing that it could not escape, it turned around fiercely and knocked fiercely toward Xu Qing's head with the arm bone.

At the same time, the previous strange nursery rhyme echoed again from the void in the surroundings.

"A bone hits gently, two eyeballs peel outwards."

"Three knocks can open the shell, four tongues come quickly to grab."

"Five friends have great strength, six little hands dig inside."

The power of one knock exceeded four fires, and it was about to fall. But Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, restrained the thought of displaying the power of the life lamp, and took out a jade slip.

This jade slip was exactly the Yuan Ying protection given by the Sixth Master back then.

Although it had consumed a lot in the battle of the Sea Star Clan that day, and its power had dropped significantly, unable to resist the power of Yuan Ying anymore, it still had some power, and resisting this blow was more than enough.

So in an instant, the strange blow from Prince Sima Ru fell and smashed onto Xu Qing's defense.

It was as if hitting a stone with an egg. The defense shook outwards, and that arm bone appeared with cracks amidst a clicking sound.

Amidst a shrill scream from within, Xu Qing's right hand raised fiercely, grabbed that arm bone directly, and the Malevolent Fire in his body erupted, refining it with all his might.

Instantly, a large amount of soul power was emitted from this bone, merging into Xu Qing's body, forming the power to open the magic apertures, constantly bombarding, causing his ninety-first magic aperture to open directly.

Under Xu Qing's absorption, the Jin Wu also arrived to devour, the shadow also pounced on it, and the black iron skewer pierced through and absorbed at the same time.

Shrill sounds were emitted crazily from within this bone. The next instant, this bone collapsed directly and turned into fly ash. The ninety-second magic aperture in Xu Qing's body also successfully opened at this moment!

Afterwards, he lowered his head fiercely and looked at the fly ash of the bones scattered in all directions.

There was no fluctuation on this fly ash anymore, but a wisp of divine sense existed.

This divine sense gathered at high speed, re-forming into Prince Sima Ru's white-clothed body from the beginning, only at this moment she was nearly semi-transparent and was dissipating at high speed.

She stared at Xu Qing, her eyes revealing a profound light, and even more shock.

"Your Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits is extraordinary, different from the sect's description!"

"Those cultivators of the Seven Sects who came here were all deceived by you. Your life fires are not two, but three!"

"Your magic apertures are even more shocking, each reaching a range of five hundred zhang!"

"Your combat power is not four fires, but infinitely close to five fires!"

"If you open four life fires in the future, except for not having a life lamp, you will be the second Sheng Qing Yunzi!"

"You are too good at hiding. You are the Seven Blood Children... the number one heaven-gifted talent of this generation!"

"You are too good at hiding; you are the Seventh Blood Child... the number one heaven-gifted talent of this generation!"

Prince Sima Ru's arrival this time, she thought it was enough to suppress Xu Qing and take away her brother, but she never expected that the other party was hiding so deeply!

Clearly having this kind of five-fire combat power, suppressing Prince Sima Ling would have been instantaneous, but he deliberately revealed clues, giving people the illusion that he had fought for a while before suppressing him.

"Could it be that his goal was me? Deliberately doing this to lure me here!" Thinking of this, Prince Sima Ru thought of the scene where she was grabbed and absorbed by the other party. In her life, she had never been so humiliated. At this moment, killing intent appeared in her eyes.

"I know all your hiding. When my true body comes out of seclusion, I will come to suppress..."

Xu Qing slapped his hand, and Prince Sima Ru's divine sense, which was about to dissipate, collapsed instantly, also drowning out her words.

"I am not the number one heaven-gifted talent of the Seven Blood Children."

Looking at the place where Prince Sima Ru dissipated, Xu Qing whispered in his heart.

His mind recalled the misery of Huang Huang Yikun after he went to the Seventh Peak.

Actually, not to mention outsiders, even he felt that the Seventh Peak where he was located was too good at hiding.

For example, the Captain.

Even if he had the recovery of the purple crystal, it was obvious that the Captain had a mysterious and terrifying existence sealed within his body.

But at this moment, he did not know that on the Seventh Peak, Seventh Uncle was sitting there, looking down at the 176th Port Criminal Capture Division with great interest.

Behind him, the Captain was squatting there, holding an apple, eating it one bite at a time.

On the side, the Third Prince was holding a fruit basket, smiling happily as he handed fruit after fruit to the Captain.

"Old Third, how did you seduce that little girl from Taisi? Teach your Senior Brother!"

"It's nothing, maybe it's because I have charm." The Third Prince was all smiles.

"Bullshit, even if your charm is great, can it be greater than little Ah Qing's? I remember now, back then the old man went to the Eastern Wanggu Continent, and less than half a year after he returned, you were sent over from the sea holding a white token. It's been many years now. At that time, you were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and you were already at one fire, with hatred in your eyes. You brat, you wouldn't happen to be from the Eastern Wanggu Continent, would you? It seems something big happened to the Taisi Immortal Sect back then..."

The Captain looked at the Third Prince with a smile that was not a smile.

The Third Prince's expression remained as usual, and he spoke with a smile.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the Senior Brother. However, Junior Brother is really curious, Senior Brother, how many times have you... re-cultivated?"

The Captain blinked and said with a smile.

"You guess."

The Third Prince smiled gently, stopped speaking, and took out an apple to hand to the Captain. The Captain took it, looked at the 176th Port, and sighed with emotion.

"This little Ah Qing is really good at hiding, he's actually at three fires!

And I feel that this brat must still be hiding. If I were to have a fight with him, I don't know if he would die, but the thing in my body would definitely awaken. If that day really comes, Master, you cannot just save him and ignore me; you must treat everyone equally. I am your most beloved eldest disciple."

As for the Second Prince, he didn't pay attention to the battle situation at all, nor did he care about his Senior Brother, Junior Brother, or Master. He was constantly holding a jade slip there and transmitting messages to someone, with a rare shyness on his face.

Seventh Uncle turned his head and glanced at his second disciple.

"This girl, fools have foolish luck!"

Afterward, he looked at the eldest and the third again. Although he scolded them verbally on ordinary days, he still appreciated his disciples extremely in his heart. After all, this was the wolf king among wolf kings that he had selected after traveling through many regions, choosing from countless people, screening layer by layer, and then selecting the best among the best, constantly observing, and finally choosing.

Any one of them surpassed the princes of other peaks by too much, and could suppress them at will. This was also his standard for accepting disciples; he didn't look up to ordinary heaven-gifted talents.

What made him especially gratified was that he felt these few disciples had already deeply obtained his true teachings, and like him, were good at hiding their sharpness.

They would never reveal all their trump cards and secrets. Many times, others thought they had seen through them, but in reality, it was just the surface layer they had deliberately revealed.

"And that Fourth, he was born knowing how to hide, no need to teach, very good."

"Living in troubled times, dangers are unknown, the road ahead is unpredictable, naturally one must hide!"

"And... heaven-gifted talents that were hard to see in the past are now being born one after another. This is not only true for the human race, but all races are like this. This is a sign before the arrival of a great era. A great era, a great opportunity, is also a great danger." Detected your latest reading progress as "Chapter 54: Transforming into a Butterfly"
