Chapter 295: Jin Wu Swallows Miemeng
The bowl shattered.
Lotus seeds were all over the ground. Because it stained the white jade, it also stained the heart of Immortal Zixuan, who was currently breathing rapidly, with disbelief and a racing heartbeat in her beautiful eyes.
"What I just saw, was it light?"
Immortal Zixuan was about to confirm, but that light flashed and disappeared!
Daoxuan Mountain, the light scattered from the door, was very different from the battle of the Dao temple in the Prince's Mansion in Nanhuangzhou back then.
The light back then was continuously spreading, and it produced astonishing burning, making Xu Qing's whole body seem to be burning and melting in that light, and he suffered heavy injuries.
If it weren't for the recovery of the purple crystal and the golden crow's blessing on his physical body, the burning of the light in the door back then could have turned him into ashes.
After all, this was a magic treasure fragment. While reflecting the heart, it must also contain lethality. It was just that because it was eerie, its lethality was also different.
But this time, it was not like this.
After Saint Yunzi's second sacrifice and refinement, the light of this door changed from continuous to instantaneous, and its power was no longer the same.
The light in the door scattered instantly and disappeared in an instant.
Its appearance was so swift and its disappearance so fast that it would give people a feeling of illusion, especially the black mist released by Saint Yunzi for his own dignity, which made the appearance of this light covered to a great extent.
Unless one was highly focused and had a cultivation level reaching a considerable height, it would be impossible to see the details clearly.
And its ability was no longer burning, but reversed into... freezing!
That light that flashed and disappeared was incomparably cold. The moment it fell on Xu Qing, it turned into freezing power, freezing him in place swiftly.
In Xu Qing's feeling, the light scattered from the door was like a cold divine ability that was difficult to describe and express. The moment it fell on him, he was completely frozen in place.
His body, soul, and everything were frozen swiftly at this moment, as if his life level was rapidly stopping.
But what was frozen was only Xu Qing in the state of three life fires.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, about to ignite his fourth life fire. He was confident that the opening of the fourth life fire, the explosion of his own
But for just a split second, before Xu Qing's flames could ignite, he discovered the peculiarity of his own shadow.
This freezing had very little effect on the shadow.
This was understandable; after all, the shadow itself was incomparably cold and fed on the bizarre.
The freezing chill that Xu Qing felt might just be normal body temperature to the shadow, or at most, it just felt refreshing.
Therefore, the moment it appeared, the shadow couldn't help but excitedly take a small sip, which prevented Xu Qing's body from being completely frozen.
Although it appeared to be sealed, in reality, it only required a single thought; as long as the shadow absorbed with all its might, he could recover instantly.
But Xu Qing did not immediately give the shadow an order; he did not move.
Because he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for so long had arrived.
"Xu Qing, you have today too!" Sheng Yunzi laughed loudly, his body flickering as he rushed straight at Xu Qing, his expression ferocious, with an even stronger, ecstatic joy that he couldn't hide in the slightest.
This was his plan; in fact, all his previous attacks were just to find an opportunity to deploy the Profound Spirit Eternal Intent Gate without raising suspicion.
At the same time, he was also guarding against others coming to stop him if he suddenly deployed this move; after all, it wasn't just Ancestor Lingyun who could stop him—the Blood Refiner side also had that ability.
And Sheng Yunzi did not believe the Seven Blood Eyes would follow the rules, just as Xu Qing did not believe the Lingyun Sword Sect would follow the rules.
The facts were indeed so; right now, almost the instant Sheng Yunzi rushed toward Xu Qing, in the sky outside Dao Xuan Mountain, the face formed by the Blood Refiner flickered imperceptibly, then violently turned into countless blood threads, rushing straight toward Dao Xuan Mountain.
This posture was completely that of someone who didn't care about any rules, as if no rules were as important as his own grand-disciple.
At this moment, whistling through the air, he was about to approach, but the next instant, sword light surged into the heavens, and countless flying swords appeared out of thin air to block his path, manifesting the figure of Ancestor Lingyun.
"Blood Refiner, rules are rules!"
Ancestor Lingyun had originally been doubtful about whether Xu Qing was truly frozen, but he had no time to observe carefully because the Blood Refiner had moved.
Therefore, he could only block the Blood Refiner at the first opportunity; no matter what, he could not let the Blood Refiner go to the rescue.
The Blood Refiner put on an even more furious appearance, wanting to charge out, so Ancestor Lingyun immediately blocked with all his might.
The sound of roaring echoed; the two had similar cultivation bases, and although Ancestor Lingyun was slightly inferior, he could still manage to delay him for some time.
As for the Captain, his eyes turned red, and he roared as he prepared to charge, but a flash of sword light shone, and a Golden Core cultivator from the Lingyun Sword Sect immediately blocked him.
At the same time, from the Seven Blood Eyes direction, the Seventh Master stepped out, his speed extremely fast, about to approach Dao Xuan Mountain, but from the Lingyun Sword Sect direction, the figure of its Sect Master suddenly descended, blocking the Seventh Master.
Meanwhile, delayed by Ancestor Lingyun and the others, Sheng Yunzi also approached Xu Qing; taking advantage of Xu Qing being frozen, his eyes revealed greed, the Mie Meng behind him instantly manifested, and amidst his own sinister laughter and the Mie Meng's strange shrieks, he closed in on Xu Qing instantly.
An unprecedented closeness, they were almost pressed against each other; Sheng Yunzi's hands were raised to grab Xu Qing's two shoulders, while the Mie Meng behind him roared and bit into the Jin Wu on Xu Qing's back, which was also frozen.
"Xu Qing, today no one can save you!"
The greed in Sheng Yunzi's eyes reached its peak, and just as he was about to devour the Jin Wu, Xu Qing suddenly raised his head.
His eyes revealed raging flames!
This act of raising his head and the flames in his eyes made Sheng Yunzi's expression change.
In his understanding, Xu Qing should be unable to move at this moment; the sealing technique transformed from the Profound Spirit Eternal Intent Gate could, for a Three-Fire cultivator—even with the support of a Life Lamp—at least be effective for ten breaths of time. This was the information he gained after refining this treasure a second time, but now only five breaths had passed, and he still had five breaths to absorb.
Everything had been calculated precisely by him, until this moment, when Xu Qing's raising of his head shattered everything with precision.
"You!
" Sheng Yunzi's expression changed drastically; the intense life-and-death crisis left him no time to think, and he prepared to retreat, but Xu Qing's hands suddenly raised, grabbing Sheng Yunzi in return, and the fourth cluster of flames within his body erupted with a bang.
The power of four life fires surged into the heavens at this moment; as the flames shook the surroundings, two canopies also shone fully, and within these flames, the Jin Wu bitten by the Mie Meng on his back shook, as if reborn in fire, becoming infinitely massive, making the already astonishing flames even more violent at this moment.
"You took the bait too."
As Xu Qing spoke softly, he opened his mouth wide and bit into Sheng Yunzi's neck; as he sucked fiercely, infinite malevolent fire erupted through all one hundred and twenty of his magic apertures, directly enveloping Sheng Yunzi, whom he was grabbing tightly.
The Jin Wu above his head opened its mouth wide as well, and amidst the Mie Meng's terrified shrieks, it directly bit into the Mie Meng's head, its eyes radiating endless ferocity as it sucked fiercely!
He had waited for this moment for too long.
In order to successfully kill Sheng Yunzi, or at least successfully devour the Mie Meng so that his own Imperial-level cultivation technique had a chance to advance, Xu Qing had been suppressing his combat power, and now he had finally waited for this perfect opportunity.
At this moment, Xu Qing's eyes revealed raging fire, his entire body's malevolent fire enveloped Sheng Yunzi, and the Jin Wu, filled with desire, devoured fully, while Sheng Yunzi's shrill screams also echoed through the heavens at this instant.
This scene reversed instantly, causing everyone around to gasp, while the Captain laughed "hehe," no longer charging, but instead very skillfully blocking the Lingyun Sword Sect's Golden Core cultivator in return.
The Seventh Master, who was walking over, also flicked his large sleeves, sweeping up the Lingyun Sword Sect's Sect Master, and on the Blood Refiner's side, he laughed loudly, reversing everything, turning his charge into a block to stop the horrified Ancestor Lingyun.
The three of them moved so swiftly, as if they had rehearsed in advance, as if they had long known it would be like this; there was not the slightest pause, smooth as flowing water, incomparably natural.
For a time, roars echoed in the outside world; Xu Qing's eyes were filled with terrifying ferocity, and under his full-force absorption, amidst Sheng Yunzi's shrill screams, his entire body's essence, energy, and spirit surged madly into Xu Qing's body, and the Mie Meng above his head let out an unprecedented wail, rapidly shrinking and blurring under the Jin Wu's incomparably cruel devouring.
And Xu Qing's ferocity was also imprinted in everyone's eyes at this moment, causing the surrounding Eight Sect Alliance disciples to gasp in horror, their gazes toward Xu Qing filled with intense wariness.
"Xu Qing!
" Sheng Yunzi's voice was agonizing; this comprehensive absorption caused his aura to weaken instantly, and he wanted to struggle, but how could he, with his mere near-seven-fire power, escape from the hands of Xu Qing, who was at the peak of seven fires? Seeing his own Mie Meng about to dissipate, Sheng Yunzi's body suddenly burst with golden light.
It was a jade slip that had transformed into Nascent Soul protection power; clearly, what he had thrown out before was only what was on the surface, and he was just about to use this to break free, but the next instant, the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown above Xu Qing's head erupted, and his own Nascent Soul protection instantly dispersed, suppressing him.
The confrontation produced by the roaring turned into a stalemate, which did not affect Xu Qing's continued devouring, and with this delay, Sheng Yunzi's body was almost skin and bones, and the Mie Meng above his head was so dim it was almost imperceptible.
The Jin Wu within his right eye flickered a few times, but in the end, it did not move. Seeing this, Xu Qing did not use his final punch from beneath the Nine Springs either; he remembered his Master's words: this punch must kill, and it must not be seen by others.
However, he increased his absorption and devouring, putting in his full effort; Sheng Yunzi's neck was about to be bitten off by Xu Qing.
Sheng Yunzi's voice became even shriller, and mouthful after mouthful of blood was swallowed alive by Xu Qing, extremely cruel.
And just at this moment, a green-robed figure walked out silently from the void; wherever he passed, array patterns scattered into the void like Heavenly Dao laws. Taking advantage of the battle between Ancestor Lingyun and the Blood Refiner, he arrived at Dao Xuan Mountain in one step, right beside Xu Qing.
"At such a young age, so vicious, using such ruthless methods in a battle between fellow disciples—spit out what you've swallowed!"
As the cold voice echoed, the green-robed figure waved his hand, and immediately a roar came from between Xu Qing and Sheng Yunzi; the two were instantly separated, but the moment they were separated, the green-robed figure waved his hand again, beckoning toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's mind roared, bloodshot eyes filled with blood; he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but the power that erupted was that of an Ancestor-level existence. He could not resist, could not face it; his mind, body, and everything turned blank, and as his body churned, the essence, energy, and spirit of the Mie Meng he had just swallowed surged out from his body, as if about to be taken away by the other party's beckoning.
But just at this moment, a purple light descended from the sky, instantly landing in front of Xu Qing; amidst the fragrance, the back of the Immortal Zixuan appeared before Xu Qing's blood-filled eyes.
She waved her hand gently, and all the pressure dissipated instantly; as a great force pushed outward, the green-robed person didn't say a word, grabbed Sheng Yunzi, and immediately retreated, no longer making things difficult for Xu Qing.
"At your age, how can you be so narrow-minded? You have to take action yourself in a battle between juniors? Since when does the Great Expansion Dao Palace do things this way?"
The Immortal Zixuan spoke calmly; as she waved her hand, the green-robed cultivator's expression turned cold, and he retreated again and again until he stopped outside Dao Xuan Mountain, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man.
It was indeed the Ancestor of the Great Expansion Dao Palace.
He took a deep look at the Immortal Zixuan, and when he turned back, Ancestor Lingyun and the Blood Refiner had already separated.
The Blood Refiner's expression was incomparably ugly, staring fixedly at the green-robed middle-aged man, while Ancestor Lingyun, who was beside him, had a very strange expression, staring at the Great Expansion Dao Palace Ancestor, as if he understood something, his expression turning bitter.
"Elder Brother Lingyun once showed me kindness; naturally, I must save his grandson. As for the punishment for breaking the rules, Elder Brother Lingyun will naturally compensate on my behalf, right, Elder Brother Lingyun?"
The green-robed middle-aged man held the dying, withered, and bone-thin Sheng Yunzi, whose Mie Meng had completely shattered and lost its Imperial-level cultivation technique, and spoke calmly.
The Blood Refiner's eyes flickered, while Ancestor Lingyun seemed to have aged significantly all at once, nodding silently.
Xu Qing's expression was ugly, narrowing his eyes to hide his killing intent as he looked at the Great Expansion Dao Palace Ancestor; he instinctively felt that there were some secrets in this matter that he didn't know.
So, after keeping this matter in his heart, his body flickered and he rushed straight to the place where Sheng Yunzi's wooden gate was located, arriving swiftly to grab it; ignoring the surrounding Alliance powerhouses, he put the wooden gate away right in front of them.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he took away the two disorder talismans he had thrown away earlier, as well as the life-saving jade slip that Sheng Yunzi had thrown away. Afterward, a mouthful of blood containing the Mie Meng's essence, energy, and spirit surged up, but he forcibly suppressed it in his throat.
Not a single drop was spat out!
Sorry, there was a problem with this chapter that I kept revising, sorry to keep everyone waiting.
