As an aura of grim slaughter erupted, each of them radiated the fluctuations of a peak Qi Condensation cultivator and charged straight toward the basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their speed was so great that they arrived in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more shocking was that although there were eight of them, they acted as a single entity; even their footsteps were perfectly synchronized, like eight sharpened blades piercing directly forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the rogue cultivators in their path had no time to dodge; the moment they were touched, they were instantly crushed like grass and trees under a torrential flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocity of the Litule Sect also caused the cold light in the eyes of the Sea Ghost cultivators, who had been watching them all along, to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were previously fighting for the two mid-stage Foundation Establishment lizard molts, the Sea Ghosts had only dispatched ten people, with seven or eight remaining in place. Now, these seven or eight cultivators charged out simultaneously, the fluctuations radiating from their bodies clearly at the peak level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, the burly man with the face of a malevolent ghost appearing on his chest emitted fluctuations that surpassed the others, faintly carrying a trace of Foundation Establishment intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides clashed in the basin in an instant, and as the sound of roaring echoed, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. His cultivation base erupted in an instant, and he charged in as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the previous lizard molt had been taken by the old man from Banquan Road, Xu Qing did not pay much attention to it; unless that person never returned to the Seven Blood Eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, once they returned, if the old man tried to swallow his share, then... he would make that old man spit it out with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xu Qing ignored it entirely, not even uttering a single word. As he whistled through the air and approached the place where the Litule Sect and the Sea Ghosts were fighting, he clenched his fists, and the blood energy within his body surged violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the ghost shadow appeared with unprecedented clarity; its tall body, with a surface covered in cracks, radiated a red glow as if it contained magma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the extremely violent aura that surpassed Qi Condensation allowed the two punches Xu Qing threw the moment he approached to possess power exceeding that of Qi Condensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar echoed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One punch for the Litule Sect, one punch for the Sea Ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing did not strike unless necessary, but now, going all out with his combat power fully unleashed, he caused the entire basin to resound violently, even creating a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this storm, the Sea Ghost members changed color, and the eight members of the Litule Sect also retreated, looking fiercely at Xu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are courting death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven Blood Eyes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time the words were spoken, the Litule Sect and the Sea Ghost organization attacked simultaneously. While opposing each other, they also diverted their remaining strength to suppress Xu Qing, not allowing him to snatch the three divine lizard molts floating in the central area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Qing’s ruthlessness was fully revealed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone who grew up in the slums and had experienced the scavenger camps, he was no stranger to snatching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a fierce intent filled Xu Qing’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, droplets of water formed around him and whistled toward all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the water droplets shot out like rain, Xu Qing’s body slammed hard into a Sea Ghost alien. While the sound of cracking bones was drowned out by the roar, the dagger in his hand had already slashed across the opponent, spraying hot blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without pausing, Xu Qing retreated abruptly and landed a punch directly on the chest of a Litule Sect cultivator behind him, producing the sound of cracking bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his killing intent erupted, his Daoist robe was stained with blood, and his delicate face was incomparably cold and stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing two people in succession, Xu Qing did not hesitate in the slightest. His left hand immediately formed a seal, and the ghost shadow behind him roared, causing the water droplets shooting in all directions to instantly turn into fuel and ignite on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seen from afar, they were like countless fire arrows, roaring toward all eight directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the flames, the shadows of the crowd on the ground were distorted, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly. No one noticed that a wisp of shadow was moving forward amidst the mottled chaos, heading straight for the lizard molts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the spreading flames, Xu Qing’s body retreated violently. The moment he retreated, a shadow suddenly leaped from the ground beside the three lizard molts—which were surrounded by the crowd as they prevented others from snatching them—and coiled around the three molts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the void beside the lizard molts twisted, and the figure of the old man from Banquan Road appeared eerily. With fanaticism in his eyes, he took advantage of the chaos caused by Xu Qing’s flames and reached out to grab the three lizard molts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was clearly a step too late, as they had been snatched away by the shadow beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" The old man grabbed at empty air. As his body retreated rapidly, everyone else here noticed this scene and were filled with towering rage. They stopped pursuing Xu Qing and charged straight at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s expression remained as usual. Taking advantage of this opportunity, his body retreated rapidly. He secretly put away the lizard molts that he had controlled his shadow to snatch and headed straight down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to leave the basin, the old man, who was being chased by the crowd, suddenly let out a loud roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't take them! I only have this one storage bag on me, look clearly!\" As the old man from Banquan Road said this, he took out his storage bag and threw it hard toward Xu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, the stuff is all inside, you keep it safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was also a ruthless person. Knowing that his claim could not convince the people here, he simply let out a loud bang. Shamelessly, in front of everyone, his clothes were completely shattered, leaving only his underpants. After appearing half-naked before everyone, he even spun around to prove he was empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he flickered, grabbed the large snake that was watching from not far away, and fled rapidly down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not many people believed him, some still chased after him, including the Sea Ghosts and the Litule Sect. However, during the pursuit, the moment they approached Xu Qing, the cultivators from both sides suddenly changed direction, headed straight for Xu Qing, and attacked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how secretly you do it, it's useless. Others can't feel the aura of the lizard molts, but to me, it's like a torch in the dark night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand over the lizard molts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides used astonishing techniques, their attacks as swift as thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s body retreated suddenly, avoiding the attacks from the Sea Ghosts and the Litule Sect. Killing intent appeared in his eyes. He ignored the storage bag thrown by the old man; he didn't believe there would be anything good in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xu Qing had not expected to be able to hide this from the people here; it was just that the old man’s move earlier had given him some expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he had been discovered, Xu Qing would not be timid. As the killing intent in his eyes rose again, he formed a seal with both hands and pushed forward rapidly. A blue talisman treasure appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual energy poured in, the talisman treasure was activated, transforming into a giant statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statue looked like the symbol of a death god from some alien race, with three heads and six arms. It radiated a cold, deathly aura and suppressed the Sea Ghost and Litule Sect cultivators who were attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talisman treasure came from the deceased mermaid youth. Because it had been used very few times, the Foundation Establishment strike it contained was relatively complete. As it suppressed them, the Litule Sect and the Sea Ghost organization both had talisman treasures flashing to counter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the roaring sounds, a massive shockwave spread, causing both sides to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Qing was strong, there were too many cultivators here, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. However, as the blood spilled, the recovery power of the purple crystal healed the minor injury instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his gaze became a bit deeper as he stared coldly at the people around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this gaze, Xu Qing licked his lips. The blood at the corner of his mouth was very salty and carried a sense of familiarity, as if he had returned to the slums, returned to the scavenger camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not like complicated things, and now that the lizard molts were in his hands and the people here did not want to let him leave, things became simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be better to kill them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his gaze also caused the surrounding cultivators to feel a slight tremor in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen ruthless people, but the killing intent revealed in the eyes of this Seven Blood Eyes youth made many cultivators' hearts skip a beat. However, the temptation of the divine lizard molts was too great, so most of the cultivators here did not retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few rogue alien cultivators who had watched Xu Qing’s attacks from beginning to end deeply understood Xu Qing’s ruthlessness, so they watched from afar and did not approach easily; they were waiting for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were the alien in the straw raincoat and the burly man with the elephant trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief standoff, the first to move was the Litule Sect. One of them had died earlier, and the remaining seven attacked simultaneously. As long spears appeared in their hands, an aura of grim slaughter erupted, rushing toward Xu Qing like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Ghost cultivators also moved, and some scattered rogue alien cultivators also approached rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, someone suddenly let out a shrill scream while moving forward. Their body instantly turned black-green, they spat out black blood, and they fell to the ground, poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's poison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few such cultivators; in the blink of an eye, seven or eight of them were bleeding from their seven orifices one after another. As the others were shaken, Xu Qing moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was so fast that he approached the Litule Sect in an instant. While his right-hand dagger swung to block a long spear from the front, he moved his body to avoid the spear, and the dagger he was holding flew out of his hand, piercing directly into the neck of the person beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As blood gushed out, Xu Qing grabbed a leather pouch with his right hand, and a black iron spike appeared. Instead of retreating, he advanced, engaging in a melee with the people who had swarmed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the roaring, the ghost shadow appeared again, roaring to the heavens, causing the sea of fire to spread and making Xu Qing’s physical strength even more formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the mountain-top basin was filled with slaughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, following the roaring here, the old man in the distance finally shook off his pursuers. He carried the large snake and looked back, immediately cursing angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stinky brat, so it was you who took them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his cursing, his speed increased. The large snake was very unwilling and seemed to be struggling to go back and help, making urgent gurgling sounds in its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That stinky brat is incomparably cunning, you silly girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he slapped the large snake unconscious, carried it, and fled rapidly. Soon he reached the shore; without needing a boat, he jumped directly into the sea and escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>",2122,"2026-06-21T00:45:15.441Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6bb0d48f556f9d5876902d18d7c800c8d1f47eb945e92d691fe40f7a028e1055","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-93","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-91",998,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeyond-the-passage-of-time-cover.jpg"]
