Chapter 324: Beneath the Nine Springs

Xu Qing saw Sheng Yunzi.

Sheng Yunzi saw Xu Qing as well.

Almost the moment Xu Qing rushed out, Sheng Yunzi's body retreated suddenly. His speed was very fast, and he was about to escape.

His speed exceeded what it once was. As the power of a Golden Core erupted, the Jin Wu within his right eye also manifested, looking up to the sky and roaring.

This Jin Wu was bound by countless illusory talisman characters, one end fused into Sheng Yunzi's right eye, and the other end spread into the Jin Wu's body.

This method displayed extremely mysterious means, actually making Sheng Yunzi indirectly master the Imperial-rank technique Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits. At this moment, with the Jin Wu's blessing, his speed was extremely fast.

But Xu Qing's speed was even more astonishing. In an instant, he charged into the Shaosi Sect, straight toward Sheng Yunzi.

But just as the Seven Blood Eyes disciples rushed out and killed their way into the Shaosi Sect, the Falling Moon Valley where the Shaosi Sect was located suddenly roared. Countless cracks split from the ground, bursts of fire erupted from within, and a huge hand reached out directly from the Shaosi Sect's earth.

This hand was fully a hundred zhang, composed entirely of rock, with fire patterns permeating it, as if magma was the blood within this arm.

A roaring sound shook the sky, the canyon collapsed, and countless gravels shot out.

At this moment, after the huge hand reached out, it pressed onto the ground. Amidst the trembling of the earth, a rock giant, emitting astonishing firelight, leaped up from the underground.

Thousands of zhang in size, standing between heaven and earth, while roaring violently, an aura surpassing Yuan Infant also erupted from his body, causing violent fluctuations to stir in all directions.

Furthermore, one could see that inside the giant's chest, a black coffin was buried.

And on the top of the rock giant's head, there were two more figures.

These two were both wearing black robes and wearing God-Spirit residual face masks, but they were not Night Dove and the Purple-Green Crown Prince. One stood, and one squatted.

Terrifying fluctuations spread from both of their bodies, and the gaze revealed from the God-Spirit masks carried indifference.

"Actually able to find this place."

"What the Lord said before leaving was right, one cannot underestimate any force."

"Looking at it this way, the Eight Sect Alliance has also arranged manpower for the other three strongholds."

Zhu Zhao is an organization, so it is impossible for it to have only the Purple-Green Crown Prince and Night Dove, but multiple members.

Among the core members, any one of them is famous, but more are those external members like Sheng Yunzi.

Although they joined Zhu Zhao, they were not qualified to enter the core, not qualified to wear masks.

Only those who have performed blood-colored performances and possess at least Yuan Infant cultivation have this qualification.

At this moment, these two were clearly core members of Zhu Zhao in the Eastern Wanggu. Almost the moment they appeared, Seventh Uncle's gaze condensed on them.

This attack on the Shaosi Sect's Zhu Zhao was the Seven Blood Eyes' first strategic goal, which was to lure out the core of Zhu Zhao.

Seeing it appear, Seventh Master stepped out, treading on the void, and headed straight for this rock giant.

The giant stared at Seventh Uncle, madness revealed in its eyes, and the two on its head also blurred, attacking simultaneously in an instant.

But in the next instant, as both sides touched, as the roaring of heaven and earth echoed, the rock giant's body shook violently, and its raised right hand collapsed directly.

As it retreated step by step, the two black-robed men who attacked with it also had even gloomier expressions, retreated together, and revealed heaviness in their eyes.

Seventh Uncle, alone, actually forced these three Spirit-Treasures to retreat with one strike.

At the same time, on the ground, following the collapse of the earth and the canyon, the Shaosi Sect's own disciples also scattered.

Although their expressions were panicked, they didn't encounter much danger, because the Seven Blood Eyes disciples on the ground were targeting those external members of Zhu Zhao whose bodies emitted black aura.

It was just that after the previous events, the ground was in great chaos, and all the external members of Zhu Zhao were unfolding their full speed to escape.

And this organization of Zhu Zhao, even as external members, had its unique and ruthless aspects. None of them were ordinary. At this moment, with the scattering of these thousands of members, it was difficult for the Seven Blood Eyes to kill them all in the first time.

However, with the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure sealing this place, within this range, even if the Zhu Zhao members scattered, they would ultimately be unable to escape.

At the same time, in the other three locations of the Eastern Wanggu, the attacks of the Xuanyou Sect, the Lieyi Gate, and the Lingyun Sword Sect were also erupting. The strongholds they went to also had core members of Zhu Zhao.

Four locations, intense fighting, but all of this... was fishing.

It just depended on whether Night Dove and its Lord would appear, and where they would appear!

This was not a conspiracy, this was an open plot!

The net of heaven and earth had already been laid. At this moment, all the human forces in the Eastern Wanggu were gazing at these four points. The Taisi Immortal Gate was also cooperating, and even the Litu Sect was participating, following the arrangements of the Sword-Holding Court.

Everyone was waiting.

At the same time, they were also guarding against the possibility that Zhu Zhao might make a feint to the east and attack in the west, appearing within the mountain gates of each sect.

And Xu Qing's slaughter also opened at this moment.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and his strikes were incomparably swift; wearing a purple-patterned robe and the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown on his head, two life palaces manifested above him like the shadow of a canopy. As the seven-colored light spread and the black flames were released, his Golden Core cultivation base shook all directions.

Behind him, the Jin Wu roared, manifesting an infinite sea of fire to shroud the area. At the same time, Xu Qing's strikes were also extremely ferocious.

He instantly appeared in front of a one-palace Golden Core cultivator of Zhu Zhao, ignoring the other party's counterattack. Amidst the other party's horror, Xu Qing's right hand became illusory, the Ghostly Seclusion Dao-Seizing Art erupted, directly reaching into the other party's sea of consciousness Tiangong, grabbing the Golden Core, and amidst the other party's shrill sound, pulled it hard.

The Golden Core left the body, was crushed by Xu Qing, and after merging into his body, his body retreated violently, directly crashing into a four-fire heaven-favored one of a different race.

This heaven-favored one might have had a great reputation within his own race, but now, under Xu Qing's collision, he was as fragile as could be.

His body went bang, directly turning into flesh and blood, collapsing into a mess.

Xu Qing didn't even look, letting the Jin Wu swallow, his body rushed forward violently, his right hand raised, the soul fire shrouded into a dagger, rapidly approaching another one-palace Golden Core big man. As he approached, amidst the big man's changing expression and rapid retreat, and amidst the rapid approach of a two-palace Golden Core in the distance, Xu Qing's speed erupted violently.

The speed of the explosion exceeded the previous one. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the one-palace big man. The dagger in his hand didn't stop at all, slashing fiercely across his neck.

A familiar sound came, and the head flew up!

In the next instant, the two-palace Golden Core old man approached, attacking with all his might. But Xu Qing raised his head, killing intent flashed in his eyes, the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown's protection spread out, directly blocking it. At the same time, he raised his right hand and punched!

The eight directions trembled. This two-palace Golden Core spat out blood. His cultivation was equal to Xu Qing's, but his physical body was not as good. Furthermore, amidst the Jin Wu's fierce roar, his expression changed greatly and he retreated rapidly, but it was too late.

Xu Qing's expression was cold and stern. He grabbed this two-palace Golden Core. At the critical moment, this two-palace Golden Core also had life-saving items, forming a protective force. Xu Qing didn't care at all, and used his own head to crash into him fiercely.

One crash, two crashes, three crashes!

At the same time, his poison spread rapidly. The little black insects, carrying the power of the Poison Core, surged into the old man's surroundings, causing his protection to be corroded in an instant, and finally collapsed with a bang. Xu Qing's head crashed directly into the old man's face.

Flesh and blood flew, and the shrill scream spread throughout the battlefield. Xu Qing's right hand reached into the old man's sea of consciousness Tiangong, took his core, and slashed the neck of the extremely shrill and rapidly rotting enemy cultivator. The corpse and head were separated.

It didn't end. Xu Qing's speed was even faster. He whistled forward on this battlefield. Wherever he went, as long as he encountered Zhu Zhao members, no matter what cultivation base, as long as they didn't exceed three palaces, they were all his hunting objects.

Slaughtering all the way, blood permeated. The number of necks slashed by the dagger in his hand exceeded dozens. One head after another rolled on the ground behind him, and one headless corpse after another was shocking to behold.

Gradually, Xu Qing's body was full of blood, and his murderous aura was astonishing. With one collision, he directly caused a three-fire Foundation Establishment to collapse into a blood mist.

Within the blood mist, Xu Qing rushed out like an Asura, his footsteps didn't stop at all, and he killed toward the external members of Zhu Zhao who were blocking his way ahead.

And those Zhu Zhao Golden Cores exceeding three Heavenly Palaces, Xu Qing would avoid. Naturally, there were Seven Blood Eyes Dharma Protectors to take action. For a time, the entire battlefield was full of blood and killing, and the earth was chaotic.

But in Xu Qing's eyes, his target was not chaotic. From beginning to end, it was Sheng Yunzi.

All the previous strikes were just done along the way. At this moment, he crossed the battlefield and approached Sheng Yunzi, whom he had locked onto, rapidly.

The killing intent grew thicker and thicker.

Sheng Yunzi's expression changed, and he was still retreating.

Seeing Xu Qing getting closer and closer, a madness appeared in his eyes. The Jin Wu behind him roared to the sky, while Xu Qing's Jin Wu behind him erupted in the sky with an even more majestic posture and an even larger form. While looking down at the earth, it also dived down, directly suppressing him.

In an instant, Xu Qing completely crossed the battlefield, less than two hundred zhang away from Sheng Yunzi.

A distance of two hundred zhang, for a Golden Core, can be crossed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, his body turned into a residual shadow whose appearance could not be seen, and he went over in an instant, arriving in front of Sheng Yunzi within a breath.

This kind of speed stirred up a sharp sound of breaking through the air, which, when falling into the ears, could turn into a sense of heart-pounding.

Sheng Yunzi's expression changed, his expression ferocious. He knew he couldn't dodge. At this moment, the Tiangong behind him erupted, the Jin Wu behind him roared, and he formed seals toward Xu Qing, attacking with all his might.

Countless sword lights erupted from his body, forming a sea of swords, rushing toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing ignored these, a punch fell, breaking the infinite sea of swords, collapsing countless flying swords. This punch was like a hot knife through butter, directly crashing into Sheng Yunzi's chest.

Sheng Yunzi's protection appeared in an instant, blocking Xu Qing's punch.

Xu Qing's killing intent erupted. He thought of Sixth Uncle's death, thought of the scenes in that rainy night. Although the person in front of him was not the Purple-Green Crown Prince, the killing intent in Xu Qing's heart was too thick. He wanted to vent, he wanted to erupt.

So Xu Qing, with red eyes, punched again after one punch, third punch, fourth punch, fifth punch...

Every punch was an all-out eruption, every punch was the full blessing of physical body and cultivation, and there was the spread of little black insects that were rapidly corroding.

The roaring sound echoed through the sky. Sheng Yunzi's body retreated constantly. Even though he had protection, every punch from Xu Qing made this protection distort, forming a resonance force, making him very uncomfortable. Blood couldn't stop overflowing, one mouthful after another.

And Xu Qing's strike was like a violent storm, without any pause. Furthermore, with a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Blade manifested, slashing fiercely. There was also the Nine-Fold Sea Roar, one wave after another, the surrounding seawater manifested, extremely violent.

Amidst the roaring, Sheng Yunzi's expression revealed horror. Finally, as bloodshot eyes formed in Xu Qing's eyes, following his last punch, Sheng Yunzi's protection finally collapsed under the corrosion of the little black insects.

Xu Qing's punch fell suddenly.

The barrier shook violently, and amidst cracking sounds, it shattered into pieces, blasted apart directly by Xu Qing, and with the force of a falling tree, it slammed straight into the chest of Saint Yunzi.

This was the last punch beneath the Nine Springs!

In the next instant, Sheng Yunzi's whole body shook violently, spat out blood, let out a shrill scream, and a series of sounds came from his body.

His 121st Dharma Aperture collapsed directly!

The eighth illusory Tiangong collapsed instantly!

The power of one punch shook the eight directions. ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
