Chapter 32: He Bought My Insurance

At this moment, Bone Blade had already lost his ability to resist. Both his hands and feet were tied, and he was unconscious, being carried on the shoulder of a tall, burly man.

Beside the burly man was also a person wearing a black leather coat. This person was an old man, somewhat hunched.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he didn't wear a mask to hide his identity. Under a head of messy gray hair was a face full of wrinkles, his gaze cold, and his whole person exuded a sense of killing intent.

The fluctuation on his body was even stronger, surpassing the Lei Ting and Blood Shadow captain from back then; he was clearly at the seventh layer of Qi Condensation.

Xu Qing had never seen this kind of cultivation among the scavengers in the camp.

"Manager, this mist came at a very bad time. What about the other meat treasures that were marked?" While Xu Qing was observing from afar, the burly man carrying Bone Blade asked in a muffled voice.

"It's all the fault of this meat treasure, hiding here and there and delaying time." The black-clothed old man looked coldly at the unconscious Bone Blade, and after contemplation, shook his head.

"Let the others come over. We'll go out first and wait for the mist to dissipate before going to find those meat treasures."

"The boss is really something. Why not just grab them directly in the camp? Why wait until people go to the forbidden zone before making us take action to grab them?" The burly man muttered with dissatisfaction, and the old man beside him snorted coldly.

"What the boss wants is a long-term flow; it's not something your pig brain can understand. If we grab people in the camp, how can this camp continue to operate?"

The burly man didn't take it to heart upon hearing this but didn't refute it. Following the old man's instructions, he took out a whistle and blew it. Soon, the two black-clothed people Xu Qing had seen earlier arrived at high speed.

Xu Qing didn't block them, nor did he take action. He squatted in the tree crown in the distance, watching all this coldly.

After confirming that the number of the other party was indeed four, seeing that they were about to leave, Xu Qing glanced at the unconscious Bone Blade.

If he hadn't seen this matter, or if Bone Blade hadn't bought insurance, or if it had happened outside the jungle, Xu Qing wouldn't have bothered. He wasn't a saint and didn't have that much energy to save others.

But he had his own principles.

Since you bought my insurance, then I must ensure you leave the forbidden zone. As for life or death after going out, he wouldn't care.

So the next instant, Xu Qing's body rushed out in an instant. His speed was so fast that he left an afterimage in place, like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for the burly man carrying Bone Blade.

His previous hiding was too stealthy, and his strike was like a thunderbolt, so the three black-clothed people, including the burly man, didn't perceive it in the slightest. Only the black-clothed old man had some investigation.

At this moment, amidst the change in his expression, he turned around rapidly, and his right hand was raised. In an instant, ice blades condensed and flew toward mid-air.

But it was still too late. The ice blades missed, and Xu Qing had already arrived beside the burly man. As the wind he stirred up scattered violently, his long hair flew, and the sharpness in his eyes shone together with the cold glint of the dagger in his hand—killing intent was fully revealed!

One slash across the burly man's throat, with such force that this burly man at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation didn't have half a moment to resist or react. Before even a scream could be transmitted, his head flew off directly.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The burly man's corpse, which had been carrying Bone Blade, dropped him at this moment. Xu Qing grabbed Bone Blade's clothes, and with a few leaps, appeared in the distance.

After throwing Bone Blade aside, Xu Qing turned around, staring coldly at the other three like a hunter.

Until this moment, the burly man's head, eyes wide open with a look of bewilderment, along with his corpse and the ice blades the old man had missed, landed at the same time.

The surroundings were silent instantly. The shock formed by this scene was immense, causing the black-clothed old man and his two companions beside him to have their hearts roar, all looking at Xu Qing simultaneously.

"Kid!"

One of the two black-clothed people behind the old man, upon seeing Xu Qing, widened his eyes, and the words blurted out.

"Shut up!" The black-clothed old man in front roared lowly.

And that black-clothed person also realized he had made a slip of the tongue and didn't speak again.

Xu Qing looked deeply at these three people. That sentence had already exposed everything.

"Kid, this matter has nothing to do with you. Get lost immediately, and I can pretend you never appeared." The black-clothed old man's expression was gloomy, staring fixedly at Xu Qing, no longer masking it, and spoke slowly.

At this moment, a wind blew. When it passed by Xu Qing, it blew his bangs away somewhat and blew toward the old man's trio, rolling up the leaves on the ground and making a rustling sound.

It seemed the mist in this wind was even thicker.

Xu Qing remained silent, not speaking.

And Bone Blade had long since woken up but had been pretending to be unconscious. Hearing the old man's words at this moment, he was anxious in his heart, worried that Xu Qing wouldn't continue to save him, so he hurriedly opened his eyes.

He felt that he had to pull Xu Qing to the point where he had to fight to the death to be secure, and there was only one way to do that, so he shouted loudly.

"Kid, don't listen to him! They are the Camp Master's people. Many of the scavengers who have gone missing in the camp over these years were secretly grabbed by them and sold to caravans as treasure-raising people. This is the Camp Master's biggest secret!"

His words caused the black-clothed old man to narrow his eyes, staring at Xu Qing, and he spoke again.

"I'll give you one last chance. Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to Bone Blade's words. The cause and effect of the matter had nothing to do with him. His thinking was very simple and very direct.

You bought my insurance, so I will ensure you leave the forbidden zone. As for life or death after leaving, it has nothing to do with me.

"He bought my insurance." Xu Qing said earnestly.

The black-clothed old man's expression was even colder, but the next instant, a ferocious grin appeared on his lips. He raised his hands abruptly, and instantly, a huge red halo appeared beneath his feet.

Bursts of cold wind rose from the ring and ascended into the sky, as if turning into a tornado, with an extraordinary momentum.

"Kid, you are still too inexperienced, actually giving me time to cast a spell. Then... go die."

The old man roared lowly, and his hands shook abruptly. Instantly, the wind ring around him became even more majestic, and within it, countless blood-colored ice blades formed rapidly.

At the same time, the two black-clothed people beside him also grinned ferociously, rushing toward Xu Qing from left and right.

Bone Blade's eyes revealed despair.

Only Xu Qing, whose expression had been very calm from beginning to end. At the moment those two figures approached and the ice blade storm outside the black-clothed old man was about to erupt, he spoke softly.

"I also have to thank you."

Almost the instant Xu Qing's words were spoken, the two black-clothed people rushing toward him paused abruptly.

Their expressions turned iron-black instantly, their eyes widened in terror, and streams of black blood actually flowed down from their seven orifices.

As if poisoned, they couldn't even continue breathing at this moment. The two were terrified to the extreme in their hearts, instinctively wanting to flee.

But they didn't retreat a few steps before they spat out large mouthfuls of black blood, their bodies lost all strength, staggering to the ground, their whole bodies twitching violently, their expressions extremely painful, as if suffering human torture, emitting shrill and astonishing screams. The next instant, they died suddenly.

This scene caused Bone Blade to be terrified and shocked. The black-clothed old man casting the spell also had his heart roar, and the storm he was maintaining appeared unstable.

And his eyes, at this moment, actually had black blood flowing down as well.

"You..." The old man's expression changed greatly, unable to maintain the stability of his technique, he pushed outward abruptly, causing the ice blades to erupt in advance.

But because of the fluctuation in his heart, although this eruption was powerful, there was a deviation in the range covered. Xu Qing's body swayed, carrying Bone Blade, and easily avoided it. He looked at the black-clothed old man who was retreating rapidly at this moment, wanting to flee.

Watching the other party constantly take out elixirs to swallow while retreating, Xu Qing didn't stop him but, amidst Bone Blade's terror on the side, muttered softly.

"One, two, three..."

The instant the third word left his lips, the black-clothed old man spat out a large mouthful of black blood, within which there were even rotten fragments of internal organs.

His body staggered, but he didn't fall to the ground. Although his expression was pale, he seemed to still have some remaining strength and was about to flee rapidly.

Xu Qing saw this scene, his brows furrowed, his body rushed out instantly, directly catching up to the old man, and amidst the despair in the other party's expression, he dropped a punch toward his chest from a distance.

On the punch, a ferocious Xiao shadow instantly materialized, grinning silently, and pounced toward the old man.

Bang!

The old man's body shook, the clothes on his chest shattered instantly and turned into fly ash, his heart collapsed, and he died.

His corpse fell to the ground, the flesh and bone on his chest sunken, and the flesh actually formed a Xiao shadow ghost face, looking shocking.

"These seven types of poison powder spread by wind, theoretically used in combination, will definitely cause death within a few breaths of poisoning. Why could he still persist... It seems it still needs improvement."

Xu Qing muttered, not paying attention to Bone Blade, who was scared silly on the side, and began to organize the spoils of war. Finally, he took out corpse-destroying powder and sprinkled it on the three corpses.

Following the sizzling sound that spread in this silent jungle, the three corpses all turned into blood water.

After doing all this, Xu Qing looked at Bone Blade.

Bone Blade was already trembling in body and mind from Xu Qing's strike. The youth's figure before his eyes seemed to have become the most terrifying existence in this world.

Thus, after being swept by Xu Qing's gaze, he trembled immediately.

And in this trembling, he felt breathing somewhat difficult, and the skin on his hands also turned green. This scene caused him to almost collapse.

"Kid Daoist, I... I am also poisoned."

"In this range with wind, everyone will be poisoned." Xu Qing said calmly.

"Antidote, give me the antidote..." Bone Blade was anxious; he felt his whole body stinging.

"My poison has no antidote." Xu Qing looked up at the mist about to arrive in the distance, and amidst Bone Blade's despair, he added another sentence calmly.

"I came to save you because you bought insurance, but this is not a reliance for you to play little tricks."

"Kid Daoist, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. My whole body has started stinging, look, I've turned green..."

Bone Blade trembled. He saw his hands becoming increasingly green and black. The scene of those two black-clothed people bleeding from their seven orifices and dying miserably surfaced in his mind, and the terror in his heart reached its limit.

Xu Qing glanced at him coldly, waved his right hand, and threw a packet of medicine powder over.

Bone Blade hurriedly caught it and poured it directly into his mouth, looking like he was afraid that eating too little wouldn't detoxify. Soon, the green color on his body dissipated, but his face began to swell.

"What did you give me to eat? Why is my mouth a bit numb..." Bone Blade felt his face very swollen, unable to speak clearly, and looked at Xu Qing blankly.

Xu Qing glanced at Bone Blade, who was like a pig's head at this moment, and said calmly.

"It's also poison." ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
