Chapter 822: Encountering Fierce Evil

Time passed, and another three days went by.

In these three days, the storm caused by Xu Qing had completely spread in this Mountain-Sea Domain.

Unless they were lone travelers or did not communicate or contact the outside world, almost everyone had heard about the matter between Xu Qing and Ji Dongzi.

Regarding Ji Dongzi, the contemporary second great genius recognized by all clans of the Yan Yue Profound Heaven Clan, the Yan Yue cultivators understood his combat power and terror directly or indirectly.

So, upon learning that Xu Qing had actually challenged Ji Dongzi in this way, most cultivators were actually not optimistic about Xu Qing in their hearts.

Even though Xu Qing's appearance this time was in an extremely strong posture, it still couldn't change the judgment of those cultivators.

After all, two months ago, Ji Dongzi released news searching for Xu Qing and subsequently announced that Xu Qing had fallen. Although Xu Qing didn't die in the end, the time he disappeared was enough to explain the outcome of that battle between the two.

Now, two months apart, what could happen? But what made people feel strange was that Ji Dongzi actually had no news about being challenged by Xu Qing, nor did he appear. Even among the Yan Yue cultivators, very few people knew Ji Dongzi's whereabouts.

This was quite thought-provoking and couldn't help but make people's imaginations run wild.

And the two clans of cultivators caught by Xu Qing were also filled with countless speculations in their hearts while wailing weakly.

They had already tried their best. In these few days, they had transmitted sound to everyone they could.

But not only did Ji Dongzi not come, but not a single person they transmitted sound to appeared.

After all... no one was stupid; they wouldn't sacrifice their lives to save people at this time, unless they possessed a certain degree of certainty.

For example, now in the firmament, at noon, this was the moment when the sunlight was most intense in the Mountain-Sea Domain in a day. The Yang energy surged, and all dark and strange beasts were often in a state of rest at this moment.

The intense sunlight illuminated everything thoroughly, heaven and earth were bright, and Xu Qing, who was moving forward in mid-air, paused his steps and looked toward the horizon.

Following his gaze, the hundred-plus cultivators behind him who were continuously wailing also immediately stopped their voices, each of them looking over nervously and expectantly.

In their sight, there were four earth-shattering long rainbows on the horizon tearing through the firmament, as if wanting to tear the sky apart, rushing toward here rapidly.

Inside each of these four long rainbows was a cultivator with an extraordinary bearing and powerful cultivation.

Among them, three were Si'e clan members; their expressions were filled with gloom and contained killing intent.

The last one was a Bai Ze clan member; his physical body was as burly as a small mountain, exuding thick blood energy, and his heartbeat was like muffled thunder, giving people a feeling of being invincible.

What was even more astonishing was that these four actually all harvested extraordinary mounts.

The one harvested by the Bai Ze clan member was a ferocious dog with long wings, riding the clouds and driving the mist.

The mounts of those three Si'e clan members were each different; one was a lion-headed, wolf-bodied beast exuding soul-seizing aura, and another was a turtle-shelled, elephant-formed one, giving people a feeling of infinite strength.

The last one was actually a ferocious evil ghost, pitch black, with a blurry form, extremely strange.

These four mounts added a lot to them, and their momentum affected the firmament, rendering the sky pitch black, churning like ink mist, and spreading over.

And the moment they saw them clearly, the hundred-plus cultivators bound by soul threads behind Xu Qing felt their hearts become excited. Naturally, they had seen the strongest geniuses of their own clans in this second stage of the Great Hunt.

Those three Si'e cultivators were exactly the strongest geniuses of their clan in this Great Hunt's second stage. Although they only had the cultivation of the second stage of Void Returning, they possessed combat power comparable to the fourth stage of Void Returning.

Although they couldn't compare to peerless geniuses like Ji Dongzi, they were also the proud sons of heaven in many clans.

As for that burly young man of the Bai Ze clan, his physical body was comparable to the fourth stage of Void Returning, and his status was even more noble; he was the second son of the Bai Ze clan leader!

These four, after receiving the call for help from their clansmen and knowing about the storm caused by Xu Qing, chose to unite and arrived at this moment.

And having appeared after such a long time, it was obvious that this time, they possessed great certainty in their hearts.

Thus, the moment they appeared, these four did not have any hesitation, nor did they speak a single word, choosing to attack Xu Qing's side at the first opportunity.

The fastest was that young man of the Bai Ze clan. This burly young man's expression was fierce, and the blood energy exuding from his physical body actually possessed a sense of suppression. The pressure formed by the mixture of his aura could shake the mind.

The moment he approached, he pinched a seal with both hands and waved it fiercely. Immediately, the void around Xu Qing emitted a tearing sound, forming countless cracks, as if wanting to be torn apart along with him.

The power of rules and the traces of laws collapsed at this moment and recombined into the path belonging to that Bai Ze cultivator. Immediately after, the third eye on his brow opened angrily, exuding red light, covering his whole body, and manifesting a huge blood-colored giant behind his back.

This giant waved two shocking giant hammers, causing heaven and earth to change color, wind to rise, and clouds to surge, smashing fiercely toward Xu Qing.

At the same time, the mount of that Bai Ze cultivator, while riding the clouds and driving the mist, opened its huge mouth, carrying ferocity, and bit fiercely toward Xu Qing.

In the distance, those three Si'e clan cultivators, the one driving the evil ghost, flickered and instantly appeared behind Xu Qing, blocking the retreat path he might choose, pinching seals with both hands and chanting words in his mouth.

Countless ghostly souls rushed out from his body, forming a sea of souls, not only blocking Xu Qing's retreat but also circling the surroundings, forming a seal.

As for the other two Si'e cultivators, one appeared above Xu Qing, and one appeared below.

The cultivator appearing above did not unfold divine abilities but took out a red candle and lit it, following the words that were transmitted.

Instantly, Xu Qing's figure appeared in the burning wick.

And the Si'e cultivator located below Xu Qing, while sitting cross-legged and pinching a seal, his whole body began to rot, unfolding some mysterious curse method, forming gray light, which was the pollution of the soul, erupting toward Xu Qing.

At this moment, the attacks of these four could be said to be earth-shattering: Bai Ze resisted head-on; one Si'e cultivator sealed all directions so Xu Qing couldn't escape; two Si'e cultivators chose to suppress Xu Qing's physical body with special treasures so he couldn't struggle; three Si'e cultivators chose a curse trump card to pollute Xu Qing's soul.

Additionally, the mounts of these three Si'e cultivators also rushed out, heading straight for Xu Qing.

At the same time, in the clouds and mist rolling in the distant horizon, there was actually another figure, appearing and disappearing, walking toward this place calmly.

This person's aura, although not as good as Ji Dongzi's, seemed not too far off.

It was just that the clouds and mist were lingering, and one couldn't see the specific appearance, but that domineering aura was still extremely obvious.

But for some reason, this mysterious cultivator's figure, while walking, actually stopped suddenly in an instant from galloping, pausing his raised footsteps, as if not daring to put them down!

The blurry expression revealed shock and horror, and the arrogance also dissipated accordingly.

And while he paused here, gray mist rose in Xu Qing's eyes.

The next instant, a piece of gray mist erupted from his body, spreading toward the surroundings instantly, affecting a thousand-foot range in an instant, covering the hundred-plus cultivators behind him and those four rescuers.

The incoming heavy hammers were directly absorbed, and the seal in the surroundings was the same.

And the change that appeared the most was those four mounts. Their bodies vibrated, and they actually chose to rebel directly, exposing unprecedented ferocity toward their respective masters and pouncing fiercely.

Then, Xu Qing's expression was calm. He raised his head and looked at the top, looking at the Si'e clan cultivator holding the red candle. The moment their gazes touched, Xu Qing took a step, and the candle in his hand changed rapidly from its original slow-burning state, as if it had received a huge stimulus, becoming intense in an instant. The whole process was just two breaths...

The candle burned out!

The moment it extinguished, that Si'e clan cultivator was about to retreat, but it was too late.

Xu Qing's figure appeared in front of him, his raised right hand grabbing his neck. Amidst the bursts of miserable wails, countless gray mists surged into this Si'e clan cultivator's body through his seven orifices and all the pores of his body.

His body trembled, his screams became increasingly miserable, his cultivation was rejected, his body rotted, until he was completely destroyed.

Xu Qing let go of his hand, and his body disappeared.

When he appeared, he was shockingly in front of the Si'e clan cultivator who had unfolded the sealing technique. This cultivator was retreating, his expression terrified. He felt that the Xu Qing in front of him now displayed was definitely not Void Returning power.

He felt that this was infinitely close to God-Treasury!

This accident caused the fear in his heart to reach its peak instantly.

Thus, a rapid shout came from his mouth: "Brother Tianmo, you..."

But his lifespan was not enough to support his words being spoken completely. The next instant, his body boomed and split into pieces, and countless soul threads flew out from within.

Xu Qing's figure left and walked toward the last Si'e clan cultivator below.

This cultivator trembled, wanting to leave, but this gray mist existed with a causal-like traction, and he couldn't leave. Seeing Xu Qing walking over, he was anxious and his expression was full of madness, rapidly unfolding a large number of curses.

Die, die, die!

One curse after another spread from his body, the price being his body continuously withering and continuously dissolving.

However, these curses, after fusing into Xu Qing's body, were like a stone entering the sea, not causing any waves, nor could they block anything, until the next instant, Xu Qing came to this Si'e clan cultivator's front with a calm face.

Amidst this person's bitterness and despair, he harvested everything.

The Bai Ze young master took a step.

The moment he fell, he arrived directly in front of the blood-colored giant manifested by the Bai Ze cultivator, ignored the smashing heavy hammers, walked past, and appeared in front of the Bai Ze young master whose expression changed drastically.

This Bai Ze young master's heart boomed, horrified to the extreme. It was really the appearance of the gray mist that shocked him and messed up all their arrangements, and the one who had agreed to cooperate actually didn't appear.

A genius actually died so simply; the gap between them made him almost collapse.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"

"Didn't they say that in his battle with Ji Dongzi, he was chased by Ji Dongzi? The power this person displays now is more terrifying than Ji Dongzi!"

"And this gray mist... this is the Nine Li mist, how could it be released by him... could it be that the Nine Li change is related to him!"

Countless thoughts erupted uncontrollably. As Xu Qing walked past him, all the gray mist poured into this Bai Ze cultivator's body. Amidst the extremely miserable wails, this Bai Ze young master was completely destroyed.

As the gray mist disappeared, the hundred-plus cultivators bound by soul threads also disappeared. They had no value anymore and all died. On the firmament, only Xu Qing was bathed in the rich sunlight.

He looked at the clouds and mist in the distance and spoke indifferently.

"Tianmozi."

The clouds and mist vibrated and soon dissipated. A young cultivator of the Yan Yue clan walked out immediately.

It was exactly the fourth sequence of this generation of the Yan Yue clan, with the cultivation of the third stage of Void Returning but possessing the combat power of Void Returning Great Perfection, the first genius of this generation in the Si Quan country belonging to the Goddess Xingyan.

He had once fought Tuo Shishan and defeated Tuo Shishan, which showed his excellent combat power.

But now his expression was extremely respectful, and he bowed deeply to Xu Qing with his fists cupped.

"Tianmozi, pays respects to Brother Xu!"

"Today, Tianmo comes here specially to present two great gifts to Brother Xu. First, these four pieces of wealth, to extinguish Brother Xu's anger. Second, regarding Ji Dongzi's whereabouts, under my secret investigation, I have already found them for Brother Xu." Saying this, Tianmozi immediately respectfully sent out the jade slip he had just made. ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
