Chapter 260

Forbidden!

Just as one can possess the right to project sect magic treasures after becoming a sequence disciple with Xu Qing, for the prodigies of the Seven Sect Alliance, they can also mobilize the power of the sect's foundation.

It was just that very few people possessed this qualification, and it was more often treated as a kind of reward and protection.

After all, the magic treasures of the Seven Sect Alliance belonged to the forbidden level, and there were many restrictions when using them; to maximize their effect, specific moments were required.

And Sheng Yunzi's combat experience was extremely rich; he did not summon the forbidden projection at the first opportunity, precisely to create such a perfect opportunity to display his forbidden magic treasure.

He understood very well that wanting to take Xu Qing's life lamp was not that simple; he had to prevent the opponent from escaping at a critical moment, or from having a jade slip similar to disordered teleportation.

And he had noticed twice before that Xu Qing had an instinctive urge to crush the jade slip in his hand; although he pretended not to notice, he had roughly guessed Xu Qing's thoughts in his heart.

In his view, this battle was fishing.

He wanted to wait until the opponent was exhausted to the limit by him, had used up most of his means, and was severely injured; only then would it be smoother.

So he had been waiting all along, until now, when he felt it was about enough, and only then did he take out the flesh-and-blood pen he had thought of in his heart during the battle.

Regardless of whether this pen could severely injure Xu Qing, he intended to use its shattering as a cover to display the curse power of this flesh-and-blood pen, trapping Xu Qing firmly.

In this way, he could create an opportunity for himself to unleash the forbidden, forming a net of heaven and earth, making all of Xu Qing's escape means ineffective, so that he could successfully obtain his life lamp.

At this moment, as his words spread, Xu Qing's expression in mid-air changed; he was surrounded by flesh-and-blood hands, incomparably tough, spreading from all directions to wind around him tightly, unable to break free for a time, so without any hesitation, he was about to crush the jade slip he had long held in his hand, which Sheng Yunzi could not see clearly.

But it was clearly too late.

In an instant, the firmament became incomparably crimson; this red appeared extremely suddenly, covering all directions in the blink of an eye, looking incomparably demonic and eerie, turning this area into a world of blood, with Xu Qing shrouded within.

And this blood-colored world, after forming, emitted the power to distort space, making all teleportation within its boundaries impossible to unfold; at the same time, this blood world was still shrinking, its range constantly decreasing.

The power of the seal erupted continuously, as if isolating this place from the outside world, completely closing it off.

Afterward, a red seed appeared out of thin air from the firmament.

But unlike the one that erupted from the Lingyun Sword Sect and flew toward the Shaosi Sect before, this blood-colored seed was illusory, not substantial, but its power was also astonishing; the moment it appeared, it crashed into the earth and transformed into a large blood-colored tree.

As soon as this tree appeared, the wind and clouds changed color, and the violent pressure was heaven-shaking and earth-extinguishing; just by swaying slightly, Xu Qing's entire body shook violently, and he spat out blood, as if an unspeakable force wanted to erase him.

At the same time, Sheng Yunzi laughed up at the sky, greed in his eyes, his speed and cultivation erupting fully, and he rushed toward Xu Qing regardless of the cost.

With the Miemeng roaring behind him and the life lamp canopy above his head shining, he wanted to completely suppress and kill Xu Qing within this closed space, making him unable to escape and forcing him to have his life lamp taken away by himself.

"Within the seal of my forbidden projection, only one of us can go out!"

Sheng Yunzi approached abruptly, striking with a roar; Xu Qing spat out blood and retreated continuously; not only was there the power of the seal here, but there was also suppression, making the life fire in his body seem about to extinguish.

Seeing that the eerie tree was about to sway again, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Summon my Seven Blood Child magic treasure, descend projection!"

The Seven Blood Child also had magic treasures, but they had not reached the level of forbidden, and Xu Qing had never summoned them either.

The moment his words came out, this blood-colored world shook, the firmament rolled, as if an external force had descended, wanting to tear this world open, and even more so, an eye appeared faintly in the sky.

This eye was calm, without any emotional fluctuation; after appearing in the sky, it gazed down at the forbidden magic treasure projection below.

After one look, the forbidden magic treasure projection shook, but it was clear that there was a difference in level between the two sides; the forbidden projection did not collapse, and the blood world seal did not shatter, so Xu Qing could not escape from within.

However, this was a magic treasure projection after all; after appearing, although it could not open the forbidden world, it solidified the blood tree within, making it unable to sway, and the suppression on Xu Qing was also reduced, but it still remained.

"A mere lower sect magic treasure cannot shake the forbidden of my sect; Xu Qing, this blood world is your burial ground!" Sheng Yunzi's greed grew stronger, and he laughed loudly, approaching Xu Qing rapidly and striking with all his might.

Xu Qing's expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word; the Jin Wu behind him shrieked to resist with all its might, and his own life lamp black umbrella did the same, making the black fire burn in all directions, constantly battling and roaring with Sheng Yunzi within this sealed blood world.

As they went back and forth, Xu Qing was suppressed by this blood world, clearly becoming a bit weaker, and began to retreat in defeat; seeing this, Sheng Yunzi's momentum surged, becoming even more ferocious.

Until a moment later, when this blood world had shrunk to a range of less than ten zhang, and the large tree inside had shrunk along with it, a roar was heard; Xu Qing spat out blood from the corner of his mouth and retreated, holding a jade slip in his hand, looking around rapidly.

"You don't need to look; you can't escape from here; even for me, after opening the forbidden, I cannot control it and can only let it dissipate on its own."

"All my previous strikes were to seal you here; the thing in your hand is a teleportation talisman, right? You were hesitant, but now you don't need to crush it; here, you have lost every possibility of escape!"

Sheng Yunzi's momentum was like a rainbow; grinning, he walked toward Xu Qing with large strides, his gaze like that of someone looking at a dead man.

"It is indeed sealed tightly." Xu Qing continued to check all directions; until he was sure it was as Sheng Yunzi had said, he spoke calmly while throwing away the jade slip in his hand, taking out an iron box, opening it, and throwing it aside.

The jade slip was not a teleportation talisman, but the most ordinary recording slip.

The iron box was the wish box, and inside was the poison elixir that even the monk's head could not resist.

As soon as this elixir appeared, its aura immediately spread.

This scene made Sheng Yunzi pause, his eyes shrinking in an instant; he didn't know what that elixir was, but he instinctively felt something was wrong and wanted to destroy it, but Xu Qing erupted with all his might to block him, stalling for time and holding Sheng Yunzi back, making the aura emitted by the poison elixir grow more and more.

And this place was sealed tightly, so the poison aura could not drift outside the seal and could only gather within this blood world that was still constantly shrinking; thus, the poison forbidden aura here naturally became thicker and thicker.

This was Xu Qing's plan.

Xu Qing did not know what trump cards and killing moves Sheng Yunzi had, and he could not guard against them; furthermore, the two were evenly matched, and Xu Qing had no way to kill him in a short time to obtain the life lamp.

And Xu Qing knew in his heart that he lacked time; once the protector appeared, he would surely die.

Therefore, he knew that this battle had to end as soon as possible, and there was only one way.

That was to make Sheng Yunzi follow his own thoughts and unfold his means step by step, thereby creating a similar environment; that was why he had taken out the jade slip many times before, giving Sheng Yunzi the illusion of a teleportation talisman.

This was utilizing Sheng Yunzi's greed.

If Sheng Yunzi wanted to take the life lamp, he had to block Xu Qing's escape and restrict teleportation; in that case, Xu Qing could use this point to control the rhythm of the battle in reverse.

Letting Sheng Yunzi proceed step by step, according to the range he needed, to conduct this battle, until he laid out a battlefield that appeared suitable for Sheng Yunzi, but in reality was more suitable for him.

Within this battlefield, he wanted to compare with Sheng Yunzi... who could live the longest under that deadly poison!

Sheng Yunzi was also a wise person; although he didn't know how powerful the poison elixir was, he reacted, and there was some speculation in his heart; as his expression changed, killing intent shone in his eyes, and he took out a large handful of detoxification elixirs and swallowed them, just about to continue striking.

But just at this moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically; he saw that his right hand had actually begun to rot, and what made him even more terrified was that from beginning to end, he had felt nothing; at this moment, he retreated rapidly to check his entire body.

Afterward, his pupils shrank; he noticed that there were many places on his body that were rotting silently, and his detoxification elixirs had no effect at all!

"What kind of poison is this!"

While Sheng Yunzi was horrified, some rotting places also appeared on Xu Qing's face, but they were clearly much smaller and much fewer; he did not answer Sheng Yunzi's question, his body swayed and he rushed out directly, beginning to counterattack.

He was not prepared to give Sheng Yunzi any chance and wanted to drag this battle into a contest of recovery and poison resistance.

For the first time, horror appeared in Sheng Yunzi's eyes; he wanted to try to dispel the seal formed by the forbidden magic treasure, but what he said before was true; he was indeed very difficult to do so, not to mention that above the forbidden magic treasure, there was the eye transformed by the Seven Blood Child magic treasure projection, suppressing it there.

Under the double suppression, there was no possibility of him wanting to dispel the forbidden magic treasure seal; he could only wait for it to dissipate; this time was actually not very long, at most two sticks of incense.

But the horror in Sheng Yunzi's eyes grew thicker and thicker; he discovered that the rotting range of his body was getting larger and larger; at the same time, the shadow within his magic apertures was also stirring, as if wanting to spread over a larger range.

And Xu Qing's strike was unprecedentedly ferocious; at this moment, he arrived abruptly and punched; Sheng Yunzi wanted to dodge, but Xu Qing's head crashed over fiercely; amidst the roar, Sheng Yunzi did not dare to collide this time and could only retreat.

But Xu Qing's speed did not decrease, and he struck with all his might, not even dodging anymore; as he opened and closed, the Jin Wu erupted, refining crazily, black fire permeated, and the life lamp suppressed again and again.

And the target of his strikes was either the neck or the stomach.

The neck was to kill, and the stomach was to dig out his life lamp.

Xu Qing had a life lamp himself, so he knew where the life lamp was located.

Sheng Yunzi's heart became more and more flustered, emitting a shrill sound, taking out a large amount of elixirs to replenish his vitality; in this horror, there was also madness in his eyes, and the life-and-death crisis permeated his entire body; he understood that this battle was a contest of who could survive.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he would give it his all; so, with red eyes, he engaged in a life-and-death battle with Xu Qing within this closed area, as the poison forbidden aura grew thicker and thicker.

The sound continued to spread; a moment later.

Xu Qing had blood on the corner of his mouth, and his entire body was rotting, but he still punched Sheng Yunzi's stomach; Sheng Yunzi lifted his hand to resist and had to retreat; his entire body was now dripping with rotting water, his appearance had been completely disfigured, and he looked like a mud person.

Extremely tragic.

And Xu Qing's ferocity erupted completely at this time; he rushed up again, lifted his knee, and struck his stomach fiercely; Sheng Yunzi roared, his voice hoarse and unable to make a sound; his internal organs were all rotting at this moment, and he could only lift his hand to block.

But in the next instant, because his right hand had already rotted by more than half, and the confrontation with Xu Qing was intense, his right hand directly collapsed and exploded; Xu Qing's knee didn't feel good either, and cracks appeared in this corrosion.

But he didn't care at all; after rushing up, he opened his mouth wide and bit fiercely toward Sheng Yunzi's neck.

The madness in Sheng Yunzi's eyes had already been replaced by intense fear; he retreated rapidly, but after retreating a few steps, his right leg began to melt, and his body tilted involuntarily; Xu Qing rushed over again, and the two fought together.

Under the deadly poison, they were both incomparably weak, and having fought until now, they had also exhausted all their means, reaching their respective limits.

The booming sounds echoed continuously; Sheng Yunzi was indeed a prodigy; cooperating with secret techniques, cooperating with his elixirs, and cooperating with various means, he actually persisted for more than a stick of incense.

But this was already his limit; despair appeared in his eyes, and the ground was covered with their rotting flesh and blood; Xu Qing didn't feel good either, and his entire person looked no longer human.

But in his eyes, the fierce intent was monstrous; rushing over, he seized the opportunity and bit toward Sheng Yunzi's neck again; this time he bit him and tore fiercely.

Sheng Yunzi spat out blood, his entire body shook violently, and the Miemeng manifested to block, but after being swept by Xu Qing's fierce gaze, the Miemeng was influenced by Sheng Yunzi and also shook; the Jin Wu took the opportunity to erupt, and amidst the Miemeng's wailing, it sucked with all its might.

It didn't end there; Xu Qing gasped for breath, the rotting of his entire body permeated to his internal organs, but he still approached while Sheng Yunzi retreated, like a fierce wolf, and punched Sheng Yunzi's stomach directly.

Sheng Yunzi emitted a painful, muffled sound from his mouth and was about to retreat, but Xu Qing crashed fiercely with his head, directly hitting Sheng Yunzi's forehead; as Sheng Yunzi wailed, Xu Qing was also bleeding from his head, his body emitting an incomparably weak intent, but this time, his right hand finally found an opportunity after Sheng Yunzi had been weak until now.

He stabbed with all his might, penetrating Sheng Yunzi's stomach!

Deep into his body, he grabbed a magic aperture, then suddenly reached in and shuttled to the sea of consciousness, groping for a lamp-shaped object.

Excitement appeared in Xu Qing's eyes; amidst Sheng Yunzi's shrill screams, he grabbed the life lamp in his hand and... tugged fiercely outward!

Extremely ferocious.

Before a large amount of blood could gush out, two of Xu Qing's five fingers had melted, but the remaining three still hooked the life lamp and... pulled it out directly!

Seven-colored light suddenly shone from Xu Qing's hand within this blood-colored seal; it was a... seven-colored glazed lamp!

The glazed lamp body was like crystal, and the seven-colored light shone dazzlingly from within; faintly, a seven-colored canopy also manifested above it, with flowing light like water, dazzling and peerless.

This lamp was stained with blood, and an ancient aura permeated from it.

It seemed to have experienced countless years and experienced the vicissitudes of eternity.

At a glance, it was definitely not an ordinary object; there were countless patterns on it that seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth, arranged into a human-shaped pattern; just one look would make one's mind roar.

Life lamps, any one of them, were supreme treasures!

"Xu Qing!

" Even though his throat was corroded, Sheng Yunzi still stared fixedly at Xu Qing at this moment, amidst shrill screams, madness appearing in his eyes, hysterical.

The feeling of having his life lamp dug out of his body by someone made him go completely insane.

But in the next instant, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes; the five fingers of his left hand had melted, revealing bone tips, and without the slightest hesitation, the bone tips of his arm stabbed directly into Sheng Yunzi's neck!

Piercing through!
