Chapter 343
The Sword Forbidden Area is the only forbidden area in Yinghuang Prefecture.
It is located slightly to the west of the central area of Yinghuang Prefecture and also covers a section of the main river of the Yunxian Wangu River.
Before the Yunxian Wangu River flows into the Sword Forbidden Area, the river water is full of immortal spirits, but after flowing out, it is pitch black.
This place is permeated with thick fog all year round, and sunlight cannot fall into it, so looking from high altitude, one can only see the pitch-black river water rushing out, but cannot see the detailed situation of the river water in the forbidden area.
Fog shrouded everything.
It could only be vaguely seen that the Yunxian Wangu River divided the Sword Forbidden into two areas, but the lingering of this fog seemed to connect them together again.
"According to the Alliance's records, three thousand years ago, a catastrophe broke out in the Sword Forbidden Area. That Sword Emperor woke up and walked out. This matter shocked the entire Fenghai County and was finally barely suppressed by the joint efforts of the various clan forces in Fenghai County."
"The Flame Emperor, the Corpse Emperor, and the Sword Emperor—the strength of each of these three forbidden area masters is unfathomable." The Captain looked at the pitch-black jungle in the distance. The moment his voice was emitted, Xu Qing's body had already rushed out.
His speed was so fast that he turned into a long rainbow and rushed straight toward the Sword Forbidden Area.
On the magic ship, Yan Yan was worried and looked at the Captain.
"Senior Brother..."
The Captain looked at Xu Qing's figure and smiled faintly.
"No problem, with me here, I guarantee Xu Qing's safety. But Yan Yan, I'm a bit short of money recently, you there..."
Yan Yan threw out a storage bag instantly.
The Captain's eyes lit up. After taking it and scanning it, he was pleasantly surprised and patted his chest, speaking loudly.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will make your husband safe!" Saying this, the Captain looked at Yan Yan eagerly.
The term "sister-in-law" immediately made Yan Yan's small face turn red, and she happily threw another storage bag.
"Oh my, from now on, Yan Yan, you are the only sister-in-law I recognize!" The Captain's whole body shook. Holding the storage bag, his body flickered, and he rushed to chase after Xu Qing.
Listening to the Captain's words, Yan Yan felt happy in her heart, her small face slightly red.
But she didn't know that the Captain, who was chasing after Xu Qing at this moment, was overjoyed while speeding, and his eyes were even glowing, looking very much like he had found a new way to make a fortune.
"Am I stupid? I shouldn't envy little Ah Qing. I should call a female cultivator every time I go out with him, and then go through this process. I definitely won't be short of money!"
"And that little rich woman Ding Xue, she has the most money in her pocket!"
The Captain was excited, especially thinking that if one day the person beside Xu Qing was the Immortal Zixuan, and if the other party could obediently call him Senior Brother, that would be truly too exciting.
"Looking at it this way, I'll send a small gift to each of those people in little Ah Qing's name later to maintain their relationship with little Ah Qing. Ah Qing, oh Ah Qing, having a Senior Brother like me is definitely a blessing you cultivated in your past life!"
The Captain was moved and in high spirits.
In fact, this wasn't the first time he had done this.
Back then, when he and Xu Qing did a big thing in the Sea Corpse Clan and fled back to the Seven Blood Eyes, and were arranged to have image disciples welcome foreign clans, the reason why Ding Xue and Gu Muqing appeared beside Xu Qing at the same time was because of his secret operation.
In fact, the sect had decided on Gu Muqing at the time, so the Captain secretly notified Ding Xue and sold a spot to Ding Xue...
At this moment, feeling proud in his heart, he also increased his speed, chasing after Xu Qing and arriving directly inside the Sword Forbidden Area.
In the Sword Forbidden jungle, Xu Qing's speed was very fast. After rushing in instantly, the surrounding heterogenous matter surged over, rapidly permeating toward Xu Qing's body, and was instantly absorbed by him, surging into the third palace.
He didn't stop his footsteps. At this moment, he leaped in the jungle, grabbed to the side with his right hand, and immediately a large snake hanging on a big tree, emitting extraordinary fluctuations, was grabbed by Xu Qing.
Almost the moment his hand touched this large snake, the snake, as thick as a person, let out a shrill hiss, its body withered visibly to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it became a skeleton, all the vitality within its body disappearing completely.
A look of spirit appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He continued forward without a word. Soon, a fierce beast, red like a Qilin, appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.
This fierce beast had an extraordinary aura, emitting malevolent energy all over its body, and its body was covered with faces, both human and beast.
In front of it was a group of eight-legged fierce wolves. These wolves were very strange, as if two had grown together, possessing two bodies but only one head.
And the head was extremely large, comparable to the entire body. While looking strange, the fierce intent was also very strong, but under the chase of the Qilin-like fierce beast, the fierce intent was restrained, and they fled in a panic.
Xu Qing's arrival appeared directly between the chasing parties. The Qilin-like fierce beast's footsteps stopped suddenly. Just as the malevolent energy erupted, Xu Qing had already arrived in front of it, raised his right hand, and pressed down fiercely.
This fierce beast shook all over. It didn't even have the qualifications to dodge or block. In an instant, Xu Qing's palm landed on its head. With a bang, the fierce beast's body withered directly, and within a few breaths, it became a skeleton.
This scene made the eight-legged wolf pack tremble and flee even faster, but Xu Qing licked his lips, leaped, turned into an afterimage, chased directly, and began to absorb.
Soon, after leaving a ground full of corpses, Xu Qing's figure went far away and disappeared into the jungle.
A dozen breaths later, the Captain's figure appeared in this place.
He looked at the ground full of corpses and felt relieved.
"Looking at it this way, the problem isn't big."
The Captain muttered, about to continue following.
But at this moment, he suddenly moved his expression, sniffed his nose slightly, and turned his head suspiciously to look into the depths of the forbidden area.
That place was in a different direction from where Xu Qing went.
After observing carefully, the Captain's eyes lit up.
"There's actually such a treasure here?" The Captain licked his lips, his eyes glowing.
"Little Junior Brother is fine, I might as well go see this treasure first."
Thinking of this, the Captain changed direction and rushed over immediately, disappearing into the jungle.
Just like this, time passed slowly, and soon half a month passed.
In this half month, Xu Qing's killing was extremely crazy. Wherever he passed, any fierce beast he encountered would have its vitality instantly absorbed by him to nourish his own poison elixir, even if he encountered weirdness, it was the same.
He himself didn't remember how many fierce beasts he had killed. With his current four-palace combat power, he could basically sweep everything in the outer area of this forbidden area.
So soon Xu Qing approached the depths slightly, and as he went deeper, he encountered more fierce beasts, killing without stopping, absorbing without stopping.
Gradually his sanity became normal, the light in his eyes was no longer dim, and his body had recovered a lot from the previous skeleton state.
Coupled with the effect of the purple crystal, he now looked like there was no major change, at most he was a bit thinner than before.
And his hair had grown back, his robes had been changed to new ones, and the poison-forbidden elixir in the third Tiangong in his body was only a thread away from complete revival under such rich vitality and heterogenous matter.
This thread was also easy to solve. At this moment, Xu Qing was taking action for this. His speed was extremely fast, rushing straight toward a group of huge jellyfish flying in the sky.
These jellyfish all emitted cold fluctuations. Wherever they passed, the jungle on the ground was directly frozen, and most of the fierce beasts within this range could not escape death.
The number of these jellyfish was not small, dozens of them, large and small. Inside their translucent bodies, one could still see decaying corpses being digested.
Xu Qing had also seen the same jellyfish in the forbidden area of the scavenger camp back then.
It seemed that this kind of jellyfish was a common thing in forbidden areas. Seeing it here now, the pressure that made him feel very strong back then had all disappeared.
Looking at the jellyfish, Xu Qing also thought of the countless low-level cultivators killed by the same kind of this thing in the scavenger camp, and this place also included the old stone that was buried by Xu Qing.
A sharp light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, his body rushed out suddenly, and his speed was so fast that he rushed into this group of jellyfish in an instant.
With the echo of bursts of roars, jellyfish that were withered and had lost their vitality fell from mid-air with a bang.
Until a moment later, Xu Qing's body landed and stood on a huge tree canopy.
A look of spirit appeared in his eyes, and there was a roar like heavenly thunder echoing in his body.
In his third palace, the poison-forbidden elixir that had been fused and transformed into a life-bound treasure at this moment, as if the fire of life had been reignited, directly emitted rich active fluctuations.
Even it itself was still vibrating slightly.
This vibration was continuous, like a heart.
Following this was a sense of incomparably close connection. This feeling was as if the poison-forbidden elixir within the third palace was originally a part of Xu Qing's body.
After Xu Qing felt this, his heart was excited.
He first took out the small black insects. With one inhalation, all these small black insects drilled into Xu Qing's body, entered the third Tiangong, and circled around the poison-forbidden elixir.
Immediately after, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance of the jungle, where another batch of jellyfish was whistling over.
Obviously, the jellyfish group here was larger. What he killed before was only a part, and it also attracted the attention of the jellyfish group here. At this moment, there were hundreds of jellyfish rushing from the distance.
Inside there were three bodies that reached hundreds of feet, which were very astonishing, revealing toughness, and the fluctuations emitted were comparable to cultivators with two or three Tiangong Golden Cores.
"As expected of a forbidden area, I haven't really walked into the inner circle yet, and I can encounter such a type of fierce beast."
"That's fine, let's test the power of my poison-forbidden elixir right here!"
Xu Qing muttered, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the third Tiangong in his body shook suddenly. The poison-forbidden elixir within it erupted instantly.
Endless poison spread from the poison elixir, spread from Xu Qing's body, colorless and odorless, roaring toward the eight directions like a mountain collapse and sea tsunami.
Wherever it passed, countless trees on the ground rotted instantly, all vegetation became fly ash in the blink of an eye, and all the fierce beasts on the ground had no ability to struggle, were poisoned instantly, and became blood water amidst bursts of shrill screams.
Those jellyfish arriving in the sky could not escape death even more. One by one, they turned pitch black visibly to the naked eye, rotted and melted amidst the sound of tragedy, and became black water falling on the ground.
Not only were they like this, but the ground was also like this.
The ground directly became forbidden soil, countless small insects were poisoned at the same time, and the fierce beasts deep underground could not avoid it, and were instantly exterminated.
The fog in the sky was rapidly dissolving at this moment, directly revealing a large hole, allowing the moonlight from the outside to fall in.
Shrouding Xu Qing, shrouding this five-hundred-foot radius!
And within these five hundred feet, not a blade of grass grew, and everything died.
Looking over, the ground... was empty.
Only the pitch-black soil emitted a fear that was shocking to the eye.
Xu Qing stood in mid-air looking at all this. Behind him, the shadow appeared slowly, forming the shadow of a pitch-black big tree, bowing and worshipping behind him.
Looking at it, this shadow big tree seemed to have become Xu Qing's cloak. Against the backdrop of this five-hundred-foot extinction, Xu Qing's tall and straight posture and beautiful face were even more demonic against the backdrop of the tree shadow.
The black iron sign appeared in mid-air, trembling at this moment, and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor manifested on it also knelt and worshipped.
His heart had already set off a monstrous wave, and everything turned into a mutter in his heart.
"God?"
The reason for this was the heterogenous matter slowly growing from the ground at this moment!
These heterogenous matters were not from the forbidden area, but were generated by themselves after this place was covered by Xu Qing's poison.
What was even stranger was that these heterogenous matters actually gave Xu Qing a sense of the same origin.
It was as if they were born because of him.
They were different from the heterogenous matter originally permeating here!
Xu Qing's body shook, unable to believe it, because this was... the ability of a god!
