Chapter 714: Who Is Playing Chess

The moment this terrifying aura erupted, this isolated space rippled with infinite fluctuations, the lake water churned, and the void twisted and trembled!

The sky of this space appeared with clouds and mist churning rapidly, turning into a vortex, roaring and spinning, connecting with the mist clusters on the lake, as if connecting heaven and earth, forming a tornado.

The shocking pressure shrouded the four directions, and the rain poured toward the surroundings!

The black rune floating in front of the mist was swaying constantly in the terrifying aura released by the tornado, unable to heal itself, and cracks appeared, flowing with black blood!

Even on the talisman paper that turned into a long street, cracks formed!

It seemed that the churning from the mist cluster released heaven-shaking power, surpassing the scope of these two talisman papers, causing them to show signs of being unable to bear it!

Inside the talisman paper, a blurry face manifested at this moment, staring dead at the mist cluster where Xu Qing was. Although this face could not see the specific appearance, the gloominess in that expression was exceptionally strong.

At the same time, the fifty-two iron chains stretching out from the lake were shaking violently. With the roar, the chains vibrated with a clatter, and seven of them snapped in an instant.

The lake water roared, the broken chains shattered and collapsed, becoming fly ash, and the lake silk was the same.

The huge struggling force transmitted from the mist cluster snapped the chains directly!

Seeing this, the face in the black rune revealed a touch of unwillingness, and a strange sound came from its mouth.

"The Dao Venerable asks: Water evil exchange, destroy ghosts and eliminate evil, what should be done? We all say: Those who do not follow my orders, behead!"

The sound like ghost crying and wolf howling spread in all directions, causing the lake surface to churn. A long blade made of lake water flew out from the lake surface and slashed fiercely toward the mist cluster where Xu Qing was!

The speed was extremely fast, setting off countless raindrops, and the void shattered!

At the same time, the black rune itself began to burn, green flames rose, adding to itself to force a brand!

The long street talisman also erupted, increasing its rolling!

And Xu Qing, as the source of all this, was bent in the mist storm at this moment, trembling violently, emitting roars that did not sound like a human, spreading out, wherever it passed, the void shattered, the rune trembled, and the lake water stirred up violent ripples.

Indescribable pain swept through his body and spirit like heaven and earth collapsing, tearing his God-Spirit body, emitting more poisonous mist!

In the blink of an eye, the chains tied to him snapped outward for another seven!

There were fourteen nails pierced into his body to suppress his soul, which were forced out by him alive, emitting thudding sounds, rolling back and shooting out.

Thudding sounds spread, the water blade was directly pierced with twelve holes and headed toward the black rune and the long street talisman paper!

In an instant, the black rune was pierced with holes again, the long street talisman paper trembled and lacked a corner, and their damage caused the sealing power to drop sharply.

In an instant, the churning of the mist cluster soared to the sky, and amidst the roaring sounds, the remaining chains and nails collapsed one after another, being forced out rapidly!

That remnant water blade was continuously pierced and finally shattered when it entered the mist cluster!

And at this moment, the last iron chain, the last lake silk, and the last nail shattered, and the mist cluster erupted outward fiercely!

While roaring on the left and right, the mist also contracted sharply. In this expansion and contraction, it revealed a heaven-shaking figure inside, ancient, dark, and killing was the first feeling this figure gave people!

He could not see any skin on his whole body, shrouded in black armor, even the head was like this, terrifying, especially the position of the eyes, where ghostly fire was burning!

The coldness was exceptionally obvious, enough to make people feel palpitations!

There were even strands of black mist rising from the armor, gathering rapidly behind his back, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black cloak that seemed to cover the sky!

The cloak swayed in the sky vortex, covering the sky, and decay and poison spread endlessly!

Like a demon!

This was Xu Qing's second layer of God-Spirit State after superposition. In this state, it seemed that all things in front of him would wither and perish!

This Yin-Yang Water Evil Bureau was the same!

Xu Qing looked up and took a step forward, and heaven and earth shook.

He appeared in front of the black rune, raised his pitch-black hand that did not look like a human hand, and grabbed it!

The black rune burned violently, emitting black smoke like black dragons, hissing toward Xu Qing from eight directions, but the moment they approached, their hissing became screams!

Xu Qing's current state had already reached the limit he could display, and it could invade all things.

Those black dragons were affected one after another and dissipated continuously!

The pitch-black helmet covered Xu Qing's expression, only the ghostly fire in his eyes revealed. He ignored the blackness, grabbed the black rune with his right hand, and squeezed it fiercely!

With a click, the rune collapsed, and the black dragons around also turned into black blood, falling into the lake.

And Xu Qing knew clearly that he could not persist for too long in this state, so after crushing the rune, he looked coldly toward the end of the long street!

On the riddled long street talisman paper, a figure appeared. This figure was strange, not a flesh-and-blood body, but a black paper man!

It stood on the curled-up talisman paper, the eyes drawn on its head revealing a touch of cold light, staring at Xu Qing and speaking slowly.

"I obey the Ghost Domain Law, the rivers..."

As this strange words came out, without waiting for it to finish, Xu Qing rushed out in an instant, his momentum terrifying, heading straight for the paper man.

The paper man's expression remained as usual, its body fell backward, lying on the talisman paper and merging with it instantly, continuing in its mouth!

"... the mountains, seas, and stars are in my palm. I make it bright, it is bright, dark, it is dark, the incantation is as urgent as the law."

As it arrived, the sound dissipated, and the long street talisman paper churned violently, erupting from both ends at the same time, rolling toward Xu Qing here rapidly!

Like a giant wave, emitting terrifying pressure!

Seeing this, Xu Qing raised his right hand and pressed it fiercely toward the earth! The moment he slapped the water surface, this space shook violently, and everything around was decaying and being invaded.

The lake water instantly became black, and the rules here were also forcibly polluted.

Everything became poison prohibition, a part of which was controlled by Xu Qing and erupted. The vortex in the sky of this space also descended at this moment, merging with the poisonous mist, and fiercely suppressed this talisman paper the size of a long street!

!

The roaring sound echoed in all directions like a great bell, and there was even the sound of shattering from the Yin-Yang Water Evil.

The sealing isolation collapsed directly!

The world in Xu Qing's eyes also returned to normal at this moment!

The long street was still the long street! The rain was still falling!

Only pieces of black paper fell from the sky, melting into the rain in pieces, one of which was caught by Xu Qing.

His body also recovered at this time. The moment he released the God-Spirit State, blood spilled from the corner of Xu Qing's mouth!

And in the distance, whistling sounds came. Such fighting in the Imperial Capital, although there were methods to cover it up, was very difficult to last, and now it had been noticed!

Xu Qing did not move. His vigilance still looked forward, and at the same time, he took out a jade slip and began to transmit his voice!

Soon, figures appeared, all Sword Holders.

They were patrolling here, so they arrived at the first opportunity. After seeing Xu Qing and the black paper falling around, each of their expressions changed. After looking at each other, they knew this was a big matter.

After all, this was the Imperial Capital. Assassination happening here was extremely serious.

Especially since the target of the assassination was Xu Qing, then this matter was vicious from the start!

So they immediately began to collect traces here!

Not long after, two long rainbows flew from different directions and appeared on this long street, heading straight for Xu Qing!

One was Zi Sister Xuan, and the other was Li Yunshan!

Seeing the two, Xu Qing felt relieved in his heart!

Li Yunshan looked at the surroundings with a gloomy expression. Zi Sister Xuan's expression was full of anger. After confirming that Xu Qing was unharmed, her expression eased a bit.

Li Yunshan was about to speak, but Xu Qing shook his head!

"Let's talk back!"

Li Yunshan nodded, and under their protection, Xu Qing left rapidly and returned safely to Ning Yan's residence!

Upon returning, the residence was heavily guarded. The Captain, who had disappeared for several days, had also returned, his expression carrying heaviness. Zi Sister Xuan and Li Yunshan looked at Xu Qing together!

"This was a pre-arranged bureau!" Xu Qing spoke calmly! "Meng Meng Yunbai invited me to the Red Dust Tower. Everyone who knew my whereabouts is one of the suspects!"

"The Emperor's son of the Starry Sky Extreme Sect in the Red Dust Tower had an unclear conflict with me, and he could also be one of the suspects!"

"There are also all the people I met on this trip, including Huang Kun, who are all suspects."

"But these are all on the surface. In the dark, there might be other factions, acting out of different motives, such as the Seventh Imperial Prince, who had a motive."

"The assassin was a black paper man, deliberately lacking life, more like an incarnation. The cultivation was not Spirit Treasury, it was Void Returning..."

... 」

"And its spell claimed to be Dao Incantation, containing a sense of the ghost domain, but it was too obvious and had the suspicion of framing."

"This assassination has several doubts. Why dare to assassinate me in the Imperial Capital? If I die, it is not a good thing for all factions in the Imperial Capital, but all factions were obviously slow to notice!"

"Second, the assassin seemed powerful, but according to everyone's understanding of me, knowing I have the Dawn Sun and a series of battle records, they shouldn't have just sent such an assassin!"

"During the battle, I had a premonition that the other party was more like a death squad, wanting me to explode the Dawn Sun, but this feeling is very difficult to distinguish whether the other party deliberately caused it to confuse my thoughts!"

Xu Qing said all the details and doubts he faced in this assassination, and then raised his right hand, with a piece of black paper in his palm!

"The feeling this assassination gave me in the end was not to truly kill me, but to use this method to turn me into a chess piece, to take a step that the person behind the scenes wants!" ===== CHAPTER 715 =====
