Chapter 304
Xu Qing did not know whether these people and the old man he had killed were of the same path.
And from the clothing, he couldn't see any clues. Whether it was the seven or eight galloping figures or the three-palace Golden Core middle-aged man who was emitting monstrous power at this moment, he was incomparably unfamiliar.
But after a simple judgment, Xu Qing felt that these people and that old man should not be of the same path. They were more like they had been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for him to appear.
And they should have been waiting for a long time, noticing that there was no protector around him, before they descended.
To be able to do this, one must accurately grasp his whereabouts.
And his whereabouts were most easily investigated by people in the alliance.
Otherwise, he, who had been hiding himself all the way, even if seen by others, could not know the destination of the task.
"Did the Lingyun Sword Sect spread the news?" Xu Qing's body retreated suddenly.
It was just that although his speed could be faster than the seven or eight figures approaching with a grin in the sky, he could not be faster than the three-palace Golden Core.
"Want to escape!"
A cold voice echoed. That three-palace Golden Core arrived in an instant with strong killing intent at a speed Xu Qing couldn't see clearly, toward him here.
At the critical moment, the Purple Heaven Limitless Crown on Xu Qing's head manifested suddenly, forming a protective force, instantly turning into a light shield, blocking the power of these three Heavenly Palaces.
With a boom, Xu Qing spilled blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he resisted the power of these three Heavenly Palaces, the vibration still made him injured.
The gap between the two sides was too large.
Xu Qing's eyes contracted, and he retreated suddenly, without any hesitation, fleeing rapidly toward the distance.
The three-palace Golden Core behind him floated in place, looking coldly at Xu Qing's departing figure, without chasing immediately, but checking the surroundings rapidly, determining whether Xu Qing's protector had appeared.
As for the others, they were chasing rapidly with greed.
These pursuers were all extraordinary in cultivation. Each of them was a Tiangong Golden Core cultivator, including five one-palace Golden Cores and two two-palace Golden Cores, each exploding with astonishing speed, surrounding Xu Qing from all directions.
The power of spells fell, and the earth shook.
The sound echoed in all directions, twisting the void.
The fluctuations swept through the surroundings, and the mountains collapsed.
Under such siege, amidst the numerous spell rumbles, Xu Qing's hands pinched spells rapidly, and spells formed one after another in his hands. Pieces of water vapor manifested into sea beasts, roaring and rushing over.
For a time, the rumbling sound echoed through the nine heavens, and Xu Qing spilled blood again, revealing strong killing intent in his eyes. But there were too many enemies, and each one was very extraordinary, making him unable to make an effective counterattack.
At this moment, he could only continue to confront while pulling away the distance, continuing to retreat, fleeing urgently, looking somewhat embarrassed.
And the protective power manifested by the Purple Heaven Limitless Crown also appeared to fluctuate violently because it bore too many spells.
Looking from afar, this place was filled with terrifying power, the Golden Core's might was astonishing, the fierce flames were rising, forming a net of heaven and earth.
Xu Qing's face put on an ugly look, and the Nine Layers of Roaring Sea turned open, turning into one wave after another, bombarding the surroundings.
But just at this time, a sharp sound broke through the air in the distance, which was the three-palace Golden Core middle-aged man.
He walked in mid-air, his whole body filled with deterrence, and there was brilliant light flowing outside his body, making him in mid-air look like he carried a sense of holiness, but at this moment, a touch of suspicion was revealed in his eyes.
"Really no protector?"
Almost the moment his words came out, Xu Qing raised his head suddenly, revealing ecstasy in his eyes, and shouted toward the distant sky.
"Master! Master, save me!
"
As soon as he spoke, everyone's expression changed drastically. As they looked toward the distant sky, Xu Qing turned around, his cultivation operated, his speed exploded to the extreme, and he waved his hand to take out the magic ship, making his speed be blessed again, and even his divinity spread out, turning into a long rainbow, fleeing suddenly.
"Little tricks!" The three-palace Golden Core sneered, but still didn't chase out.
But Xu Qing, who was fleeing rapidly, suddenly had fluctuations in the empty heaven and earth in front of him. A large hand manifested from the void, appeared suddenly, and landed on Xu Qing's magic ship with one palm.
With a boom, the magic ship exploded, but it was not completely shattered. Under Xu Qing's control, it changed direction and rushed rapidly toward another direction.
Where the palm appeared before, the palm dissipated at this moment, turning into an old Daoist with a red face wearing a black robe, and behind him were three Heavenly Palaces manifesting astonishingly.
He stood there, perceiving the surroundings suspiciously, and didn't chase Xu Qing.
But the direction Xu Qing changed again, and the void fluctuated again. A huge face suddenly appeared. This face had no hair, bloodshot eyes, opened its mouth, carried ferocity and cruelty, and bit Xu Qing's magic ship fiercely.
The rumbling echoed, and Xu Qing's magic ship exploded again.
Xu Qing felt heartache and could only put it away rapidly, gritting his teeth, changing direction again, and rushing out again.
But there were still enemy shadows manifested, turning into a tall and rough middle-aged man, blocking the front, grinning, with three Heavenly Palaces behind him, suppressing down fiercely.
Xu Qing's body shook violently, blood sprayed out, and the protective fluctuations manifested by his Limitless Crown became more intense.
When he couldn't dodge, the three-palace Golden Core middle-aged man from the beginning also arrived.
At this moment, there were already four three-palace Golden Core cultivators appearing around Xu Qing.
At the same time, on the ground, dozens of rogue cultivator figures flew out one after another. These people were lying in ambush around Sitong Country.
Looking at these people, Xu Qing's face was gloomy. Suddenly, he took out a disordered teleportation talisman and pinched it suddenly.
In an instant, the teleportation power exploded, and Xu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.
With his disappearance, these Golden Core cultivators didn't have any investigation or pursuit, and at the same time, all the greed and killing intent from before dissipated in this instant. What was even more astonishing was that as their expressions dissipated, their figures also slowly blurred.
Until a moment later, they were actually erased one by one and disappeared from the spot.
The earth was peaceful. Another half an hour passed, and a mountain stone on the ground suddenly twisted, turning into a hemp-faced old man wearing a green Daoist robe. This old man checked the surroundings cautiously, revealing a deep light in his eyes.
"Although it is an illusion, every attack before was real. Looking at Xu Qing's performance, could it be that there is really no protector following?"
"But without a protector, how could he dare to go out so blatantly?"
"However, recalling his going out, it was indeed covered up. If I didn't know his exact destination, it would be very difficult to lock onto him."
While pondering, the old man shook his body and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, on the wilderness some distance away from here, Xu Qing's figure teleported out. As soon as he appeared, he sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood, took out the jade slip rapidly, and transmitted his voice to the sect.
But the moment he took out the jade slip, the earth suddenly sank, turning into a sinister large mouth, and swallowed him fiercely.
Xu Qing's expression changed. As he rose into the air rapidly, a rumbling sound came from the ground. That large mouth was actually the big mouth of a giant, a full thousand feet tall. At this moment, the giant stood up, raised his large hand, and grabbed Xu Qing.
Xu Qing retreated rapidly, but in the blink of an eye, the void behind him fluctuated, and the hemp-faced old man in a green robe stepped out. With a wave of his hand, the five Heavenly Palaces behind him manifested suddenly, directly forming a suppression force, bombarding Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's body shook, blood sprayed wildly, and the protection outside his body vibrated violently. He took out the disordered teleportation talisman rapidly and was about to pinch it.
But the next instant, a calm voice came from behind him.
"Seal!"
As soon as this word came out, a huge golden magic array appeared suddenly in the firmament above, suppressing the earth fiercely.
Xu Qing's teleportation failed, his body was suppressed by this great force, unable to rise into the air, and he had to fall downward.
His face was pale, and he raised his head suddenly to see a boy sitting on the golden array.
This boy was wearing a red robe and sitting cross-legged, with five Heavenly Palaces manifesting astonishingly above his head, making the array fall toward the earth continuously, and making Xu Qing here have his whole body suppressed until it creaked, his Limitless Crown protection also collapsed, and his body continued to fall.
Until with a boom, Xu Qing's body fell to the ground.
The next instant, countless black hairs rose from the ground around him, wrapping him inside rapidly, and a corrosive force erupted, beginning to invade his Limitless Crown protection.
"It seems there is really no protector."
"You are too cautious. So what if there is a protector? We are all just clones here. At worst, we don't want this clone. Are we afraid of this?"
"Forget it, regardless of whether there is one or not, this time's task, we are determined to complete it. Even if the Seven Blood Eyes are really fishing, we are prepared."
While the protection here was being rapidly corroded, in the sky, the boy, the green-robed old man, and the thousand-foot giant spoke one after another.
Then they pinched spells respectively, and suddenly vast power erupted from them, forming a destructive might, falling toward Xu Qing.
Seeing the crisis, a voice carrying dissatisfaction echoed in all directions.
"Only brought so few people, and they are all clones. Somewhat boring!"
The moment the voice came out, Seventh Master's figure walked out from the void in front of Xu Qing.
He flicked his sleeve, and the hair around Xu Qing turned directly into fly ash. Then he raised his head and swept his gaze, landing on the thousand-foot giant. The thousand-foot giant's expression changed, and his body roared instantly, without any resistance, collapsing and falling apart in an instant.
Then Seventh Master looked at the green-robed hemp-faced old man. The old man shook all over, and in the blink of an eye, under Seventh Master's gaze, he turned into fly ash.
As for the boy, his eyes widened, and after being swept by Seventh Master's gaze, his body boomed and exploded directly, becoming blood rain.
Everything, under Seventh Master's gaze, was shattered.
Xu Qing's expression was no longer the previous gloom, but turned into normal. His injuries recovered in an instant. At this moment, looking up at the sky, Seventh Master's voice came to his ears.
"But it can also be understood. After all, no one is stupid. But even if clones arrive, can they be beyond the law?"
Seventh Master said indifferently, raised his right hand and grabbed. Suddenly, where the thousand-foot giant collapsed, the void twisted, time seemed to be flowing backward, countless flesh and blood flew up, re-forming the giant's figure. His eyes revealed terror and disbelief at this moment.
"You..."
Before he could finish his words, Seventh Master raised his hand and slashed at him!
Under this slash, a sound like a thread breaking came. The next instant, a faint thread appeared on the top of the thousand-foot giant's head. This thread broke instantly, then continued to break, spreading into the void as if tracing the source.
Finally, amidst the thousand-foot giant's unimaginable and intense horror, a shrill scream came from the void.
The next moment, the thousand-foot giant's body withered, fresh blood sprayed out, and a miserable sound of extreme misery came from his mouth. His body collapsed again, falling apart and dissipating.
It was just that this time, what dissipated together was his true body and soul, which he didn't know where to hide, and they were all taken away by Seventh Master with secret methods, not a bit left.
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes widen. He didn't know what cultivation level the true body should be if the clone was five Heavenly Palaces. He thought there was a certain probability that it was Nascent Soul.
Amidst the ripples in Xu Qing's heart, Seventh Master waved his hand toward the place where the green-robed hemp-faced old man dissipated, and the same scene appeared again.
The re-formed green-robed old man's expression changed completely, and he let out a scream.
"Seventh Master, spare my life, I..." Before he could finish, Seventh Master waved his hand again. Amidst the heaven and earth collapsing, Xu Qing took a breath. He looked at the dissipated soul and asked tentatively.
"Master, can you give me some souls to suppress the Dharma Apertures."
"A hunter must hunt by himself. I am not responsible for giving you prey, only for giving you weapons and abilities."
Seventh Master said indifferently, pinched his raised hand, and suddenly the green-robed old man's head appeared with a thread, breaking inch by inch into the void. Finally, amidst the shrill and bitter and unbelievable screams, the true body and clone collapsed together and were taken away by Seventh Master.
After doing all this, Seventh Master flicked his sleeve, and where the boy turned into blood rain, the blood rain flowed backward, and the boy's figure was revealed. His expression carried extreme terror.
"How can a Spirit Collection Realm have such ability, actually able to trace the true body, you... what cultivation level are you!"
While speaking, his body retreated suddenly, his hands waving countless array lights shining. Just as he escaped far away, Seventh Master raised his hand and waved. Suddenly, the boy's true body hidden in an unknown place collapsed and shattered, and this clone also dissipated rapidly and was about to be taken away by Seventh Master.
Beside him, Xu Qing, seeing that this last one was also about to be gone, suddenly remembered what the Captain said in the Immortal Pool about his master's soft heart, so he learned from the Captain and spoke aggrievedly.
"Master, my magic ship exploded twice, and I used two disordered teleportation talismans."
Seventh Master looked at Xu Qing with a smile that was not a smile and nodded.
"If you say so, I should supplement you." Saying this, he changed his raised hand from waving to grabbing. Suddenly, the boy's clone, which had dissipated for the most part, trembled suddenly, and a wisp of remnant soul was extracted from within.
Seventh Master grabbed it in his hand, pinched it fiercely, and this remnant soul actually turned into fifty-nine shares of soul power and patted it on Xu Qing's body.
Xu Qing's whole body shook. These fifty-nine shares of soul power were each comparable to the soul of a Tiangong Golden Core. At this moment, they scattered in his dozens of Dharma Apertures, making the fire of the Dharma Apertures more intense in an instant.
