Chapter 87: Don't Come to Provoke Me

Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the tree crown, looking at the place where the Banquan Road Inn old man was from afar, extremely vigilant in his heart.

At the same time, killing intent flashed in his heart. The other party was a person on his bamboo slip, but Xu Qing always felt that he didn't have much certainty, so he never went to Banquan Road.

And now that he met... Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

But considering that his harvest was the main thing this time, and the other party was not so easy to be killed, he suppressed the killing intent and looked at the surroundings.

Everyone here was very extraordinary, especially among those lone travelers, there were several who made Xu Qing feel somewhat dangerous. This was also why he chose to cut and kill the provoking pirates at the first moment.

Growing up in the slums, he deeply knew that hiding one's light had both advantages and disadvantages, and many times, hiding and hiding might cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, using thunderous power to do decisive things and using bloody malevolent Qi to deter everyone was Xu Qing's idea after arriving, and it was also his way of doing things when he was struggling in the slums.

At the appropriate time, one must show one's fangs to warn everyone.

Don't come to provoke me!

And the reason for cutting off the heads was on one hand to deter, and on the other hand, it was because... their heads were valuable.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, flicked his right hand lightly, and immediately pieces of poison powder fell around him.

After doing all this, he closed his eyes, meditated silently, and waited for the arrival of the sea lizard.

And Xu Qing's move indeed achieved the desired purpose. Everyone in the surroundings was now incomparably dreading him. While recognizing his qualification to come here, they were also vigilant, which made this place return to balance.

Just like that, amidst this subtle balance, time passed slowly. One night passed, and the moment the morning light fell on the second day, Xu Qing opened his eyes abruptly and looked down the mountain.

Almost at the moment he looked over, seven or eight gazes also looked over without distinction.

Where the gazes of the crowd reached, rumbling sounds came from the mountain, as if some huge monster was moving forward with difficulty. And this sound also made more cultivators pay attention, and the aura of killing also spread rapidly at this moment.

Soon, in Xu Qing's sight, he saw a lizard fully seven or eight zhang long appearing in the mountain forest.

This lizard was pitch-black overall. On the skin like old tree bark, traces of time were revealed. Under the sunlight, it reflected black light, and it seemed to have a gap with the body, being shed little by little.

Its four claws carried a sense of sharpness. At this moment, it was panting and crawling over, as if every step would bring some pain, but it didn't pause for half a moment.

Although the aura carried weakness, the fluctuation comparable to the eighth layer of Qi Condensation on its body still made everyone's breathing slightly freeze. And this sea lizard obviously couldn't have not perceived that there were people here, but it didn't care at all.

While crawling toward the mountain top with difficulty, behind it, the rumbling sound didn't pause. One could see trees collapsing one after another, and a second, third, fourth...

A total of six sea lizards appeared one after another.

"Six sea lizard skins of the eighth layer of Qi Condensation!" Xu Qing's breathing was slightly rapid. He knew very well that the selling price of this kind of skin in the Seven Blood Eyes port was as high as five or six hundred spirit stones.

At this moment, he looked at these lizards, and a sharp glint shone in his eyes, seemingly not looking at fierce beasts, but at spirit stones.

But others didn't act rashly, and Xu Qing also waited silently.

Until the rumbling sound got closer and closer, gradually these six sea lizards crawled onto the mountain top with difficulty. After arriving at the basin where everyone was, they ignored all the cultivators in the surroundings, and under the attention of gazes, stepped into the basin.

These six sea lizards, after stepping into the basin, all immediately emitted roars, their bodies trembling violently, as if using all their strength to shed their skin.

Their roars echoed in all directions, making all the cultivators who were paying attention have their hearts shaken.

The light in Xu Qing's eyes also became sharper and sharper. He saw these sea lizards struggling at this moment, and the skin that was already separated from the body to different degrees was accelerating its separation.

The whole process lasted for half an hour.

The first sea lizard successfully shed its skin, its aura recovered, and it stepped away. From beginning to end, it didn't look at the cultivators in the surroundings at all.

The lizard skin left in the basin was no longer black, but revealed a cyan glow. The patterns on it were clearly visible, and it even had a sense of being crystal clear. It shone like treasure light there, looking just like a sea lizard of the same size.

But still, no one made a move.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and didn't move either.

Waited for a moment, until the second, third, fourth sea lizards all completed shedding their skin and left one after another. At the moment the last sea lizard shed its skin and fell, someone moved.

The person who made a move was none other than the Banquan Road old man. His speed was so fast that his whole person was like an arrow leaving the string, heading straight for the basin.

Afterward, other cultivators in the surroundings also rushed out one after another, and the killing intent between each other erupted at this moment.

Xu Qing also swayed his body. The whole person left a residual shadow on the tree crown, his speed astonishing. After rushing in, he directly grabbed a lizard skin. Beside him, a foreign race cultivator wearing a coir raincoat had a cold glint erupt in his eyes and made a move to block.

"Roll!" As the words came out, the foreign race waved his hand. Immediately, a spiritual energy of the ninth layer of Qi Condensation spread from his body, forming a deterrent, suppressing toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless, didn't even look at it, raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and punched directly toward the coir raincoat foreign race. At the moment this punch was thrown, his Qi and blood erupted abruptly, the Bha shadow appeared behind him, the sense of ferocity spread in all directions, and there was a silent roar, following Xu Qing's punch, toward the enemy.

The coir raincoat foreign race's expression changed abruptly. He had already judged that this Seven Blood Eyes disciple's cultivation was not simple, but now that he made a move, at the moment he saw the Bha shadow, his heart skipped a beat.

"Qi and blood transformation, you are Great Perfection of Body Tempering!"

As the words came out, he retreated abruptly, but it was too late. Following the fall of Xu Qing's fist, amidst the rumbling, this coir raincoat foreign race's body trembled violently, and blood sprayed out.

But he was also not simple. He didn't know what means he unfolded, but his body blurred. The next instant, he appeared in the distance, sprayed blood again, the coir raincoat collapsed for the most part, revealing the blue skin inside. When he raised his head, he looked at Xu Qing, revealing unprecedented dread in his eyes.

Xu Qing had no time to pay attention to the other party. At this moment, he grabbed the lizard skin in front of him, put it away, swayed, and was about to go and grab the second set. But just at the moment he was about to continue making a move, a low roar came from afar.

"Do you want to kill us all?!"

Xu Qing turned his head abruptly and saw a loose cultivator in the distance who seemed to be unable to participate in the contention for the lizard skin, so he hit the idea on the last sea lizard that was about to leave.

But he was blocked by a foreign race big man with a very long nose like an elephant trunk, who was angry.

"You damn guy, do you know that if a lizard dies here, we will all die."

The big man's anger permeated, and he blasted the loose cultivator away with a move. The crowd in the surroundings also looked at that loose cultivator one after another, killing intent strong in their eyes.

That loose cultivator's expression changed, and while retreating, he spoke rapidly.

"Isn't it just a sea lizard? How could it cause our death!"

"Are you new here? Do you know why there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators here, and why no Foundation Establishment cultivators dare to pass by this sea area? You really think the place under our feet is just an island. I tell you, this island is just a small protruding part on the back of a huge lizard!" The elephant-trunk foreign race had strong killing intent in his eyes.

"Why are there many sea lizards here? Because they are all the offspring of this giant lizard. To protect its offspring, it doesn't allow foreign races beyond Qi Condensation to exist around here, and doesn't allow cultivators here to make moves against sea lizards. You are now on its body, killing its offspring, are you tired of living? If it gets angry, we will all die!"

"Isn't it just a sea lizard? How could it possibly cause our deaths!"

"And we Qi Condensation cultivators can come here only because such an existence doesn't care about us!"

As the words came out, this elephant-trunk foreign race had already made a move, and other loose cultivators who had not contended for the lizard skin also had greed in their eyes and made a move together.

In an instant, screams were emitted, and that loose cultivator was surrounded and killed miserably. All the items on his body were instantly divided by the crowd who made a move.

Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing their words, finally understanding why he hadn't seen Foundation Establishment cultivators along the way. So he lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, silently rushing out, heading straight for the group of cultivators who were contending for the lizard skin.

Cold light shone, the dagger was taken out by him. Wherever he passed, if there was any blocking, they were all cut and killed by him instantly. The cold wind blew and lifted Xu Qing's hair, revealing the sharpness in his eyes.

Finally, he grabbed the second lizard skin from the hands of three cultivators. And at this moment, the other four sets also had owners, and each was incomparably bloody, standing firm amidst the killing, deterring others.

Among them, the one who obtained two sets like Xu Qing was that Hot Spring Road old man. As for the other two sets, one was grabbed by a lone foreign race, and the other was occupied by a group of four or five people.

Everyone was filled with killing intent, but they restrained themselves and didn't make a move at this time.

Xu Qing scanned the surroundings, looked at the Hot Spring Road old man, and noticed the big snake behind the other party.

At this moment, this big snake, after seeing Xu Qing's gaze, hurriedly nodded at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention, his gaze touched and dispersed. He gave up making a move, his body retreated abruptly, returned to the tree crown, and sat cross-legged.

The other three parties obviously breathed a sigh of relief and all retreated one after another.

The basin surroundings slowly returned to peace, but faintly, unkind gazes swept over Xu Qing and others from the eyes of those cultivators who hadn't contended for the lizard skin.

The place where the old man was, at this moment, he sat there, picked up the smoking pipe and took a puff, looking very satisfied. But soon he remembered something, hurriedly searched his pocket to take out an antidote, and swallowed it.

Regarding the gurgling sound on the side, he didn't pay attention.

Until the big snake bumped into his body, the old man spoke in a low voice impatiently.

"Reminding is a fart, that is a wolf that eats people without spitting out bones and kills without blinking. Does he still need me to remind him? You think he doesn't know that someone will make a move at night?"

"I say, you white-eyed snake, why are you so concerned about him? Sigh, I have been so good to you, raising you up, why don't you care about my old bones? I feel I should have been poisoned just now."

While the old man was dissatisfied with his emotions, Xu Qing on the distant tree crown had his eyes slowly narrow, cold light flashing inside. He was also sizing up those unkind people, focusing on the pockets on their bodies.

Afterward, he licked his lips and put more poison powder around him.

One day passed slowly.

Night fell.

The pale moonlight spilled over the earth, and the desolate bushes in the moonlight gave birth to countless mysterious shadows, swaying with the wind, looking like ghosts and monsters dancing under the gloomy moon.

The cold night slowly couldn't cover the spread of killing intent.

The dim moonlight gradually couldn't contain the greed of all living things.

Thus, the desolate sea breeze, at this moment, blew the funeral song in advance.

There will be a third update in a while!
