Chapter 293: Not What It Used to Be

In the eyes of outsiders, this was a battle between the innate three fires and five fires.

The former had two life lamps on his body, with earth-shattering momentum, while the latter was a rare five-fire Great Perfection, with momentum swallowing mountains and rivers.

Both had Emperor-level cultivation techniques, and their combat power was almost equivalent.

The difference was that Xu Qing's two life lamps could support each other. This point had been explored by outsiders after his battle with Prince Sima Ru. After all, there were many Alliance cultivators, and there were many smart people. After the battle, they could analyze the key points.

So for the time being, it was Xu Qing whose combat power was stronger, but clearly Saint Yunzi dared to attack Xu Qing, and he must have his own reliance. This was also what made the onlookers interested.

In the next instant, the figures of Xu Qing and Saint Yunzi touched together on Daoxuan Mountain. For a time, dragon power and tiger shock, the momentum was sky-high. Both sides approached swiftly, fighting fast with fast.

Under their respective combat power, their speeds were fast to the extreme, and the rumbling sound was like knocking gold and hitting stone, echoing in the clouds.

In an instant, they touched each other more than a hundred times. Fists touched, neither side dodged in the slightest, making Daoxuan Mountain shake, thunder appear, and lightning bolts shooting and wandering in all directions from where the two were fighting.

During this period, Xu Qing also used the Nine Springs Underworld, but only used eight punches. The ninth punch was not displayed. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Soon, Saint Yunzi's body shook, and finally he was no match, his body retreating backward.

Xu Qing was in mid-air, his long hair dancing, his eyes narrowed. He hid the power of one fire, because Xu Qing knew very well that the key to this battle was not to suppress and kill Saint Yunzi, but how to make the rescuers too late to save him after the other party failed.

At the very least, it had to be too late to stop himself from swallowing Saint Yunzi's Miemeng.

If he wanted to do this, he had to be unexpected and catch him off guard.

Clearly, doing this from the beginning was not advisable. The probability was that Saint Yunzi would be rescued, and he would fail to swallow the Miemeng. So Xu Qing was observing. While observing Saint Yunzi's trump cards, he was also observing the potential rescuers who might appear in the surroundings.

As for Saint Yunzi's trump cards, Xu Qing was not very clear. He only faintly felt the aura of the golden crow on Saint Yunzi, so he gazed at his hollow and pitch-black right eye many times.

And the shadow also spread out in the dark, and the poison was the same. At the same time, Xu Qing's attack just now also saw the difference between this Saint Yunzi and the past, which was speed.

The other party's speed was much faster than before.

At this moment, there was no time to think too much. After Saint Yunzi retreated, he stepped hard on the ground, and his already astonishing speed erupted again, breaking through the air and raising a sharp sound.

Behind him, Miemeng manifested, revealing a cyan body and red tail, roaring toward Xu Qing. Saint Yunzi's combat power also improved accordingly, appearing directly in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression was cold, and the golden crow behind him also manifested. Amidst the rumbling, they touched each other again. Xu Qing's head even revealed two canopies, adding protection for him, making Saint Yunzi have to bear astonishing counter-shocks with every punch.

For him, what was painful was not the counter-shock, but the torture in his heart.

Because this feeling was usually experienced by others when they fought him. At this moment, seeing his own life lamp being used by Xu Qing to deal with himself, Saint Yunzi's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he roared, biting the tip of his tongue and spraying a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Ghost clothing crowd, seal body and soul, turn into heart sword, destroy the universe."

This fresh blood came out and instantly turned into a blood-colored robe. It was the same technique as Saint Yunzi displayed when fighting Xu Qing back then, but it had new changes. This blood-colored robe did not entangle Xu Qing, but collapsed on its own, turning into countless fragments.

Each fragment was a blood-colored flying sword, gathering together densely, which was very shocking, forming a blood wind and heading straight for Xu Qing.

As the former owner of the life lamp, Saint Yunzi knew very well the weakness of his Seven-Colored Wind-Singing Lamp.

That was, attacking in groups could make the life lamp's protection constantly twist and appear flaws. He had never told anyone about this matter, and he had never thought that one day he would be used to deal with his own life lamp.

At this moment, amidst the rumbling, although these flying swords were mostly blocked outside, there were too many of them, and some seemed to be about to break through Xu Qing's life lamp protection.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, his body swayed to avoid it, his right hand raised and punched toward Saint Yunzi, murderous intent erupted strongly. While the Nine Springs Underworld was faintly contained, his attention was also divided into a part, placed in the surroundings.

In an instant, Xu Qing felt the fluctuations coming from outside Daoxuan Mountain. He didn't hesitate at all and dispersed the power of the Nine Springs.

And Saint Yunzi's speed was astonishing, dodging instantly.

At the same time, outside Daoxuan Mountain, the face of the Blood Refining Master appeared in the sky, cold-snorting toward the sky at the other end.

The sky he looked at revealed the figure of the Lingyun Ancestor, both of them looking unkind.

"Rules are rules. Those who break the rules will be punished." The Blood Refining Master spoke slowly.

Lingyun Ancestor didn't speak.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and gazed at all this. Knowing that his previous investigation was correct, Saint Yunzi, who was retreating, sneered and raised his right hand suddenly. Suddenly, three sword lights were emitted together.

One rose to the sky, turning into the Profound Heaven Blood Evil Sword, stabbing straight at Xu Qing's heavenly spirit from the sky.

Xu Qing looked up, his eyes revealing strange light. He had also seen this move, but it was different from the past. He also had techniques, so he raised his right hand to pinch the formula and waved it suddenly.

Suddenly, the water vapor around Xu Qing became dense in an instant, making everything hazy. A vast blue sea formed directly around him. Compared to this sea, Daoxuan Mountain was like a giant mountain in the sea, and the two of them on the island were like ants.

One could see the vastness formed by this sea, with blue-white waves crashing into the sky, as if a tsunami gathered into the first big wave, crashing directly toward the Profound Heaven Blood Evil Sword in the sky!

The waves swallowed the sky, and the blood sword rumbled.

Before it ended, the second sword light appeared.

This sword swept across, turning into the Soul-Swinging Demon-Suppressing Sword, slashing toward Xu Qing suddenly like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Xu Qing danced with both hands, and waves rolled up from under his body, forming the second wave, touching the Soul-Swinging Demon-Suppressing Sword that swept across, emitting a sound that shook the clouds and the sky, shaking the heaven and earth.

Soon, Saint Yunzi's third sword appeared, turning into eight sword-carrying ghost shadows, manifesting around Xu Qing, turning around together, and slashing with their swords.

It was exactly the North Ghost Asking Heaven Sword.

Xu Qing danced with both hands, one in front and one behind. As his body danced, his arms shook one after another like Tai Chi, and instantly the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth waves of the sea roared, exploding in front, behind, left, and right at the same time. Four waves of the sea, each with terrifying power, roared outward at the moment of touching the eight sword ghosts.

Amidst the rumbling, the sword ghosts collapsed. Xu Qing's expression was as usual, looking coldly at Saint Yunzi, who was retreating rapidly with a gloomy expression. His hands were still seemingly slow, but in reality, he danced extremely fast, and his body stepped forward five steps in a row during this dancing.

Every step down was a wave of the sea rushing into the sky.

After five steps, the five waves of the sea around him were more astonishing than the last, forming a heavy blow and whistling toward Saint Yunzi. Looking from afar, it was like water flooding Daoxuan, with infinite momentum.

Saint Yunzi's breathing was rapid. The feeling this battle gave him was also completely different from the past. At that time, Xu Qing's techniques were a weak point, but now the other party's weak point was made up for, and the power was not bad.

But he didn't give up in his heart, the murderous intent remained, and amidst the bombardment of the five waves, Saint Yunzi roared and took out an object from his body. This was a rotten finger.

Its origin was unknown, and it emitted an eerie and gloomy aura, faintly visible with countless runes wandering on it, giving people a feeling of being incomparably evil.

This was... a curse!

It was his brother's curse, which he had refined with the help of the golden crow's power while being tortured by Xu Qing's poison during this period of time, gathering on this finger bone and becoming his own sharp weapon.

After taking it out at this moment, he didn't hesitate at all and threw it out directly. In an instant, this finger touched the sea water, shattered and turned into a piece of pitch-black liquid, polluting and making the entire sea turn black rapidly.

There was even a fishy and foul smell constantly spreading. Not only did the original blue sea turn into a black sea in an instant, but it also turned into rotten water, and countless arms and ghost faces appeared inside, making the entire sea appear to be on the verge of collapse, and even the waves rolled back, as if they were about to counter-shock.

But clearly, Saint Yunzi only saw the scene of Xu Qing's shadow covering his magic apertures when he fought Xu Qing back then, so this time the focus was on preventing his magic apertures from being covered and Xu Qing's strange poison. The blessings from his grandfather were also within these ranges.

So, he didn't know the true power of Xu Qing's shadow.

This was the benefit of hiding oneself.

At this moment, those strange things born in the sea water were about to counter-bite, but in the next instant, as Xu Qing looked coldly, those strange things shook, made a sharp sound, and actually fled outward, scrambling to leave the sea.

Almost the moment they scattered, Xu Qing snorted coldly, and his right hand suddenly raised. Suddenly, a heavenly blade manifested directly above his head. This blade was purple, completely real, and it was not just one that appeared, but seven that Xu Qing displayed in one breath with his current cultivation power.

Xu Qing only comprehended two imprints of the Taisi Blade, and the power had an upper limit, but his magic power was majestic, and he could form multiple blades in one breath, increasing its power in a superimposed way. When he fought Prince Sima Ru back then, it was like this.

At this moment, the heavenly blade appeared. As Xu Qing waved his hand, these seven heavenly blades roared toward Saint Yunzi. Wherever they passed, the wind and clouds changed color, and streaks of malevolent aura swirled in all directions, falling directly on Saint Yunzi.

Saint Yunzi couldn't dodge in time, his body rumbled and retreated, being slashed by the seven heavenly blades one by one, and deep wounds that could reach the bone appeared all over his body instantly.

The deepest one was only a thread away from cutting his waist in half.

But in the next instant, a strange scene appeared.

A golden crow shadow suddenly appeared in Saint Yunzi's pitch-black right eye. This shadow let out a hiss, and astonishing vitality erupted, merging into Saint Yunzi's body. After that, all his injuries recovered instantly, visible to the naked eye, and even the waist injury was the same.

This scene made everyone in the surroundings dumbfounded and shocked. It was really because the moves of these two were not Foundation Establishment at all, more like Golden Core.

Saint Yunzi's retreating figure stopped. At this moment, he was unscathed, looking at Xu Qing with a ferocious grin.

"Xu Qing, I have to thank you for letting me have this immortal body. I will repay you well."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and spoke indifferently, saying the first sentence of this battle.

"You are still as noisy as before, full of nonsense."

Xu Qing was not too surprised. Although this matter was unexpected, it was also within his expectations. At this moment, he also realized that this was Saint Yunzi's trump card.

At the same time, the Alliance crowd watching this battle also looked at Xu Qing swiftly. It was really because they also saw Xu Qing's personality at this moment, which was that he rarely spoke during battle.

This personality of being able to do it without opening his mouth made everyone feel the ruthlessness in Xu Qing's bones.

On the top of the Profound Heaven Sect mountain, Immortal Zixuan was drinking hundred-flower morning dew lotus seed soup while watching this battle. Noticing Xu Qing speaking, she laughed lightly.

"Although the malevolence is heavy and there can't be light in his heart, he is not the person I am looking for, but after all, he is also an interesting little guy. Mainly because he looks good, unlike Saint Yunzi, who was a conjoined monster swallowing each other when he was young, looking disgusting." ===== CHAPTER 294 =====
