~14 min read 2,772 words

"How could you be here!" The Jin Gang Sect Sect Master's eyes narrowed suddenly, his heart waves rolling violently, somewhat unable to believe it.

At this moment, the teenager he was looking at was wearing a dark leather coat, his hair was very messy, and his face was dirty, but... the color of the leather coat revealed dried bloodstains, carrying a malevolent aura.

The disheveled hair and the dirt on his face covered his appearance, but at this moment, the poisonous wind blew, lifting his hair, revealing his eyes that could not be covered.

The sharpness and indescribable coldness in his eyes, at this moment, even in the mist where strange substances were rich, were still exceptionally obvious.

The moment he met his gaze, a chill rose in the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master's heart.

"Kid!!"

Even if he had not seen Xu Qing's portrait, at this moment, in the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master's mind, the other party's scavenger nickname appeared directly.

He knew that the Ancestor, the two elders, and a large number of disciples were chasing this person, but now... the Ancestor and elders had not returned, but this kid who was being chased had appeared in the sect.

This scene made the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master think deeply and fear, but there was no time to think too much at this moment. He quickly pinched techniques, and instantly, the storm swept toward the surroundings. While dispersing the poisonous wind, the air waves formed by this storm also rushed straight to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced coldly and did not pay attention to this Jin Gang Sect Sect Master. His body retreated instantly to avoid it, changed direction, and rushed suddenly, while his hands continued to throw out black pills.

The sounds of boom-boom echoed suddenly. The Jin Gang Sect Sect Master felt the weirdness of the black pills, his expression changed again, he stomped his feet fiercely, and chased Xu Qing, wanting to stop him.

But Xu Qing did not fight with him, avoided again, and by relying on the speed of the flight talisman, continued to wander within this sect, making the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master also have to use a flight talisman.

Looking from afar, this Jin Gang Sect Sect Master and Xu Qing, one after the other, wherever they passed, roars were constant.

And there were black pills, constantly thrown out by Xu Qing amidst these roars.

"Damn it!" The Jin Gang Sect Sect Master's anger rose in his heart. He wanted to stop him, but both of them used flight talismans, yet the speed was actually on par, which made him unable to catch up quickly at all.

Thus, soon, amidst these roaring sounds, the vortexes formed by the black pills in the entire Jin Gang Sect became more and more, and the rich strange substances also reached an astonishing degree rapidly, gradually seemingly approaching the forbidden zone.

Until Xu Qing's black pills were almost exhausted, the entire Jin Gang Sect... directly turned into a huge vortex.

This vortex rotated constantly, causing infinite strange substances to surge over continuously, the firmament was covered, and amidst the richness of the strange substances reaching the extreme, fog formed, rolling more and more, as if covering the sky and sun, shrouding the eight directions.

Looking from afar, the Jin Gang Sect, permeated by fog, had roars and exclamations constantly coming from within. All the disciples inside, at this moment, were incomparably horrified.

At the same time, because of the lack of manpower, although the poisonous wind was partially dispersed, more poison powder arrived completely at this moment along with the wind, merging with the fog.

Wherever it passed, all grass and trees withered instantly, and even the mountain stones made sizzling sounds, as if being corroded.

Screams echoed at this instant.

The entire Jin Gang Sect was tragic. Rich strange substances permeated, all things were polluted, poison merged into the wind, covering all areas, cooperating with the strange substances to form great terror.

And all of this happened within a short hundred breaths. The speed was so fast that it was difficult for people to react. For a time, the Jin Gang Sect fell into great chaos.

A part of its disciples scrambled to escape, but the poison here was too fierce. Even after taking the antidote, it was of little use. Soon, people spat blood from their seven orifices, wailing shrilly.

Another part hid rapidly, but it was of no avail.

Besides that, the rest, under the Sect Master's roar, chased toward Xu Qing.

It was just that the sect was chaotic now, and Xu Qing's speed was fast. After a few flickers amidst the chaos, he disappeared without a trace. Others were about to search, but at this moment, firelight flashed from not far away.

This scene made everyone in the surroundings feel numb in their scalps, and the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master was even more horrified. He could not care about chasing Xu Qing and immediately summoned disciples to put out the fire.

But... the firelight was not in one place. Soon, one after another fire points constantly appeared in this sect, and raging flames began to burn.

"Kid!!" The Jin Gang Sect Sect Master emitted a shrill sound, his hatred reaching the extreme, but he could not find him for a while, so he could only put out the fire with all his might.

At the same time, in the luxurious buildings within the Jin Gang Sect mountain gate, Xu Qing's figure stepped in rapidly. After entering, he took away everything he could loot, set fire on the spot, and left rapidly.

The whole process was very fast. Until not long after, amidst this turmoil, Xu Qing arrived in front of a building that was clearly more luxurious, and saw the handwriting on the plaque above.

"Treasure Pavilion?" Xu Qing's eyes tightened. After approaching, he raised his right hand and punched.

Instantly, the Treasure Pavilion's door was shattered. The poisonous fog outside surged in, and Xu Qing stepped in, seeing rows of shelves inside.

On the shelves were various elixirs, spirit coins, and heavy treasures.

Xu Qing swept his eyes over, his heart beating wildly, and immediately went up to take away everything he could take, looted it, and was just about to leave.

But his eyes tightened, noticing that in this Treasure Pavilion, the poisonous fog invaded along some invisible cracks on the wall, faintly outlining the shape of a door, as if there was a secret door there.

Thus, Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, went up and kicked directly. Amidst the roar, the secret door appeared cracked but did not shatter.

Xu Qing gave a light huh, cold light flashed in his eyes, the sound of ka-ka came from his body, the Kui shadow behind him manifested suddenly, and while roaring silently, it merged with his right hand, turning into a punch of full strength.

With a bang, the secret door was shattered, revealing a secret room.

There were not many items inside, only a cloth bag the size of a palm.

Xu Qing was a bit surprised, raised his hand and was about to grab it.

But at this moment, strong light radiated from under this cloth bag, outlining a complex pattern on the ground. As it shone, it formed wind blades rotating and rising into the air, blocking the hand he grabbed.

Xu Qing withdrew his hand immediately, looked at the pattern formed by the light under the cloth bag, and cold light flashed in his eyes. After feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations on it, he snorted coldly, took out his last two black pills, and crushed them directly.

Instantly, strange substances erupted, surging from the surroundings, sweeping over, shrouding the secret room. The pattern lit on the ground flickered violently, but it still could not be prevented from being eroded, and finally dimmed, extinguishing amidst the sounds of ka-ka.

Xu Qing did not hesitate, grabbed the cloth bag, and his body flickered, leaving the Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the Jin Gang Sect that was full of chaos, full of wailing, permeated by strange substances and poisonous wind, and with firelight rising, Xu Qing's expression was cold. The flight talisman flashed, and his body rose into the air suddenly, about to leave.

He was very clear that even if there was no Ancestor in the Jin Gang Sect now, he only occupied the advantage of a surprise attack. If he continued, there would be dangers.

And his arrival this time was not purely to kill but to destroy the Jin Gang Sect mountain gate. He grabbed as much as he could, and now that the goal had been achieved, his speed exploded, and he rushed into the sky, running like thunder to the distance.

But at this moment, an angry roar came out, and the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master, disheveled, rushed toward him rapidly within the fog.

Xu Qing was in mid-air, lowered his head, killing intent flashed in his eyes, the power of the seventh layer of the Sea Mountain Technique in his body exploded, and while the Kui shadow behind him manifested, he punched toward the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master who was approaching.

The sound shook the sky, the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master retreated a few steps amidst roars, just about to continue, but the next moment, a purple blade shadow formed behind Xu Qing.

The Heavenly Blade fell.

It slashed directly toward the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master.

The Jin Gang Sect Sect Master's expression changed drastically, his body retreated suddenly, returning to the poisonous wind and strange substance fog, and the purple blade light also chased in instantly.

Xu Qing did not chase, his gaze flickered and retreated immediately, turning into a long rainbow and rushing into the sky, running like thunder to the distance.

And the moment he left, seven or eight figures rushed out from the fog where the Jin Gang Sect Sect Master retreated, each striking fiercely with all their might.

This strike had such great power that the air seemed to be exploded, the roar shook the sky, forming a depression, comparable to Foundation Establishment power.

If Xu Qing had not left but continued to chase, I am afraid that at this moment he would definitely have been bombarded on his body.

If Xu Qing had not left but instead continued his pursuit, he would surely have been struck by it at that moment.

And those seven or eight figures were all elders; at this moment, their faces were all pale, blood was spewing out, and it was clear that the previous strike had been completed through their mutual cooperation using a secret technique.

Now, seeing Xu Qing escape, they hesitated about whether to pursue.

"The seven protectors must not pursue." Within the mist, the Sect Master of the Jin Gang Sect stumbled out, one arm clearly severed; as blood dripped down, his face was pale, and his body was swaying unsteadily.

"That thief is too cautious; he actually didn't pursue me inside. Now, our priority is to disperse the poisonous wind and foreign substances from the mountain gate as quickly as possible, and then wait for the ancestor to return!"

The Jin Gang Sect Master was filled with grievance and gnashed his teeth; he had risked injury just now to try and lure the opponent, but he had failed.

The seven or eight elders were all silent. Some stepped forward to support the Sect Master, looking at the still-chaotic sect; their expressions were also bewildered, and with a sigh, they could only do their best to disperse it.

Time passed, and soon a day went by.

When dusk arrived that day, the poison and foreign substances in the Jin Gang Sect were finally mostly dissipated. The former had consumed a large amount of the disciples' wind-type techniques, while the latter... had forced them to crush spirit coins and use pure spiritual energy to dilute them.

The cost was enormous.

And the entire sect... was in ruins. Even the main hall on the mountaintop had become rubble, most of the buildings had collapsed, and there were traces of fire everywhere.

To restore it would be equally costly.

More serious were the disciples of the Jin Gang Sect; the foreign substances within each of them were dense, and at this moment, most of them were entirely blue-black, requiring large amounts of White Elixirs or even Dust-Clearing Elixirs to neutralize.

The Jin Gang Sect Master and several protectors were all exhausted and aggrieved when, on the distant horizon, a long rainbow arrived.

The ancestor of the Jin Gang Sect had returned.

He was equally disheveled, with multiple injuries on his body, his hair messy, suppressing his anger. After escaping from the forbidden zone, he had already decided that, regardless of the cost, he must kill that child.

Until he saw the mountain gate from afar; in mid-air, he froze for a moment, instantly accelerated to approach, and looking down from above the mountain gate, he stared blankly at the ruins beneath his feet.

"Ancestor..." The disciples of the Jin Gang Sect, after seeing the ancestor's figure, immediately began to cry out in complaint.

"Ancestor, that child took advantage of your absence to wreak havoc on our sect, and the disciples have suffered heavy casualties."

"Ancestor, our Treasure Pavilion was also looted by that god-damned thief, and what couldn't be taken was contaminated by foreign substances."

"Ancestor, that child is too inhumane; many disciples are heavily poisoned and it is difficult to neutralize."

Only the Sect Master and the protectors remained silent.

Listening to the disciples' complaints, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor looked at the broken mountain gate, looked at the miserable disciples, and then looked at the Sect Master who had lost an arm and the protectors who were each injured, his body slowly trembling.

His complexion changed from green to white, then from white to red, finally turning into an extreme iron-blue, and his body stumbled as he uncontrollably spat out a large mouthful of blood.

As his breathing became rapid, he clenched his hands tightly, his eyes blood-red as if he wanted to eat someone, and he let out a shrill roar toward the sky.

"I am going to kill you!"

This roar echoed in all directions, like the rumbling of thunder, but it could not reach the location of the teleportation array in Lujiao City at this moment.

Inside Lujiao City, beside the teleportation array, Xu Qing stood there in line.

In front of him was a massive teleportation array.

This array was built on a magic altar, octagonal in shape, with countless runes carved within it; it was extremely complex, and every time it flashed, it would shine with immense brilliance, its momentum like a rainbow.

All around were some guards with impressive cultivation bases, coldly watching those of them who were waiting in line; the icy glint in their eyes suggested that if they had the slightest hint of malicious intent, they would be instantly killed on the spot.

Soon, as the person in front disappeared via teleportation, when it was Xu Qing's turn, he walked toward the altar where the teleportation array was located.

Until he walked onto the altar and stepped into the complex teleportation array, Xu Qing turned to look back at this world where he had lived for many years.

It was sunset, the afterglow spilling over the earth; the wind of July, carrying heat, blew over, lifting the strands of hair before Xu Qing's eyes, allowing him to see this world more clearly.

He looked in the direction of the city ruins, then looked toward the scavenger camp, and finally swept a cold glance at the location of the Jin Gang Sect.

"We will meet again."

Xu Qing muttered, his gaze becoming increasingly icy; beneath his feet, the light of the teleportation array flashed, becoming brighter and brighter, until a sea of light erupted, drowning everything, including Xu Qing's figure.

The next instant, when the light of the teleportation array dissipated, Xu Qing, who had been inside, had disappeared.
