Chapter 93: Blood Stains Sea Lizard Island

The ocean at night is full of shifting winds and clouds; the weather is as deep and unfathomable as the sea itself.

At this moment, around Sea Lizard Island, thunder rumbles in the sky, and flashes of lightning appear intermittently.

A rainstorm is about to descend.

Under the illumination of the lightning that flashes from time to time, slaughter is running rampant atop the highest peak of Sea Lizard Island.

The three lizard molts, possessing divinity, are valuable enough to make rogue cultivators risk their lives.

At this moment, the rumbling and the thunder overlap; the murderous intent in Xu Qing’s eyes is so thick it seems ready to spill over, and his body slams fiercely into a member of the Departed Path Sect, the massive impact pushing the opponent’s body backward.

Ignoring the counterattack from this person and the techniques landing on his body, Xu Qing stabs his iron skewer into the opponent’s chest, right at the heart, six times in succession.

Each strike makes the Departed Path Sect cultivator’s body tremble, until the next instant, as surrounding techniques arrive, Xu Qing’s body sways and suddenly dodges; amidst the rumbling, the corpse of the dead Departed Path Sect cultivator is torn to pieces by the techniques.

At the same time, the moment Xu Qing retreats to dodge, four Sea Ghost aliens, relying on the toughness of their body refinement, charge over fiercely, surrounding him and attacking regardless of the cost.

Even more, the Sea Ghost brute with a hideous face emerging from his chest forms a massive blood sphere while chanting with both hands, transforming it into a blood-colored bat that flies directly toward Xu Qing; the teeth in its open mouth are sharp, and it seems that once bitten, one would either die or be severely wounded.

Seeing the crisis, Xu Qing waves his hand to form a protective barrier with a talisman treasure, and after hard-resisting the blood-colored bat and the attacks of those few Sea Ghosts, he uses the force to retreat, heading straight for the three Departed Path Sect cultivators charging over behind him.

His goal is very clear: kill the Departed Path Sect first!

The reason he chose the Departed Path Sect is that they pose the greatest threat to him.

The Departed Path Sect’s indifference to life is not just directed at outsiders, but at themselves as well, which makes their combat power extremely strong.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s retreat carries with it the sea of fire from the ghoul shadow, but those three Departed Path Sect cultivators do not change their expressions at all and continue to charge, colliding in an instant, attempting to trade their lives for injuries.

As the booming sounds ring out, one of these three Departed Path Sect cultivators has his chest caved in, yet he grabs Xu Qing’s waist; another has his forehead pierced by the iron skewer, yet he grips the skewer tightly, not giving Xu Qing a chance to pull it back.

The last one shows a flicker of emotion in his eyes for the first time: it is fanaticism.

"Departed Path!" he shouts, his body burning in an instant, transforming into a dazzling, eye-piercing light spear that heads straight for Xu Qing with astonishing speed.

It arrives in an instant, looking as if it is about to pierce him.

A cold glint flashes in Xu Qing’s eyes, and the ninety-plus zhang spirit sea within his body erupts, manifesting outside his body and sweeping toward all eight directions.

The corpses of the two dead Departed Path Sect cultivators are touched instantly and collapse directly; more cultivators rushing over from the surroundings are also unable to dodge and are struck by the full force.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qing shifts his body to the side, and the approaching light spear, carrying a sense of scorching heat and destruction, grazes past his chest.

Although he is not pierced, he is still grazed; his clothes are shredded, and his flesh is a bloody mess.

Xu Qing breathes rapidly, his body continuing to retreat five zhang away before stopping; he hunches over, stomps his right foot fiercely on the ground, and like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he charges out again.

A residual image remains on the ground, but his true form has already reached another Departed Path Sect cultivator, whose eyes also radiate a fiery heat.

"Departed Path!" he growls, and at this moment, his body chooses to self-destruct.

At this moment, three members of the Departed Path Sect remain.

Aside from the one in the middle who hasn't moved, the other two charge out at high speed, heading straight for Xu Qing.

The eyes beneath their robes are equally fiery, and at this moment, they also choose to self-destruct.

At the same time, the Sea Ghosts also have their eyes turned red; the remaining eleven or twelve of them immediately launch their attacks, and while unleashing their trump cards, three more talisman treasures form a murderous intent, suppressing toward Xu Qing.

Not only that, the surrounding rogue cultivators who were originally watching, as well as those who rushed over from other peaks, also show fiery heat in their eyes and approach one after another, some having already attacked.

Looking from afar, Xu Qing seems to be trapped in a dire crisis; the next instant, with the self-destruction of the three Departed Path Sect cultivators, the attacks of the Sea Ghost cultivators, and the eruption of the talisman treasures, the place where Xu Qing stands is immediately submerged in rumbling and dust.

However, before the flying dust settles, Xu Qing’s figure, like lightning, suddenly charges out from the rising dust.

A yellow light shield shines outside his body; that is the power of another talisman treasure.

There is also a flight talisman on his leg.

All of this makes Xu Qing’s speed surpass what it was before, and he flies out directly to slaughter the crowd; his speed is too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reaches a rogue cultivator holding a dagger and slams into him fiercely.

Amidst shrill screams, the rogue cultivator’s body collapses. Xu Qing does not stop; he grabs the dagger the opponent dropped and gallops through the surrounding crowd.

Blood still remains at the corner of his mouth, and his Seven Blood Eyes Daoist robe is quite tattered, but the coldness in his eyes has not been melted in the slightest.

Wherever he passes, shrill screams ring out, corpses fall with a thud, and blood flows everywhere, causing the soil on this mountaintop to emit a strong stench of blood.

During this time, several Sea Ghost cultivators have their heads sent flying as Xu Qing’s figure flashes by.

This brutal slaughter is only temporarily interrupted when the last member of the Departed Path Sect and the Sea Ghost brute with a face on his chest join forces to block him.

Xu Qing bears the brunt of their combined techniques, forcibly swings his right hand to stab into a rogue cultivator’s chest, and after a fierce slash, he retreats rapidly and lands on a large rock, crouching slightly, panting, and looking coldly at the remaining cultivators around him.

There is one person left in the Departed Path Sect: the leader.

There are four people left in the Sea Ghost organization, including the brute.

As Xu Qing’s gaze sweeps over, blood drips from the blade of his dagger, merging with the bloodstains on the ground.

With a flight talisman on his person, Xu Qing could actually attempt to fly out of here, but everyone here has murderous intent toward him.

Xu Qing’s principles make him unwilling to leave; he wants to kill all threats here as much as possible.

At this moment, there are over forty corpses around, and the aura of death is incomparably thick; especially those rogue cultivators, who tremble and dare not continue, retreating one after another.

Xu Qing frowns slightly.

He does not want to let anyone who has attacked him leave; even if the opponent’s cultivation base is insufficient, Xu Qing still feels they are a hidden danger, and he is just about to move.

The only remaining leader of the Departed Path Sect suddenly speaks.

"I only want one lizard molt. Give it to me, and after I report this matter, you can gain the friendship of my Departed Path Sect!"

"I also only want one; otherwise, given your current state, your life and death are uncertain." The face on the Sea Ghost brute’s chest emits a shrill sound, and the red light in his eyes grows even brighter.

Xu Qing ignores them, his body sways, the flight talisman erupts again, and he heads straight for the rogue cultivators who were trying to flee and had previously attacked him; his speed is so fast that he arrives in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, heads go flying.

Just as he is about to continue killing, the Departed Path Sect leader and the Sea Ghost brute behind him choose to join forces and charge over together.

The Departed Path Sect leader’s black robe spreads open, revealing a middle-aged face; his eyes are icy, and his body emits an astonishing aura.

This aura surpasses the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation and seems not far from Foundation Establishment.

With a wave of his hand, thick black mist appears behind him, and the rolling mist forms a massive tombstone.

This tombstone is full of cracks, and countless vengeful spirits struggle within the cracks, but looking closely, it is still very blurry and hazy; clearly, with this person’s power, he cannot manifest it more clearly and can only borrow its phantom.

At this moment, as he attacks, the misty tombstone heads straight for Xu Qing.

As for the Sea Ghost brute, he lets out a shrill roar, his body instantly withering, but the face on his chest glows with blood, the red light in its eyes expands, and his entire face turns crimson as he spits out a mouthful of blood.

Once this blood appears, it immediately transforms into a blood-colored flying sword, kicking up thick baleful energy and carrying a murderous intent as it speeds toward Xu Qing.

The remaining Sea Ghost cultivators do the same, each using their trump cards.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing narrows his eyes, his right hand suddenly lifts and points toward the sky; instantly, purple light flashes on his body, rapidly gathering above his head to form a massive long saber.

This saber is ten zhang long and three zhang wide, its entire body shining with purple light, and the blade’s chill is piercing!

Like a heavenly saber, it stands in mid-air, and it radiates an indescribable Dao rhyme, as if it contains the laws of heaven and earth, emitting an earth-shattering momentum.

Once this saber appears, the Sea Ghost brute’s expression changes suddenly, and he exclaims in shock.

"Qi Condensation has realized a Dao technique?? This... is this something a Qi Condensation cultivator can realize!"

As he speaks, his body retreats suddenly, wanting to flee.

The Departed Path Sect squad leader’s body also shakes violently, his face turning pale in an instant.

The next instant, Xu Qing is expressionless, his palm falling suddenly.

With earth-shattering rumbling, the purple saber in the sky slashes down, heading directly toward the basin; everything in its path is cut!

The blood-colored flying sword is torn to pieces.

The black tombstone collapses and explodes.

The earth rumbles, leaving a massive saber scar that cuts the basin in two; also cut in two is the Departed Path Sect squad leader.

He stares blankly at Xu Qing, and the next moment, his body tears apart, and blood erupts.

In the distance, the Sea Ghost brute’s body shakes violently, despair appearing in his eyes; he wants to look down at his waist, but before his gaze can fall, his body is severed directly from the waist, split into two, and he dies, the face on his chest also turning deathly still.

Also split apart are the other few Sea Ghost cultivators, who are now torn to pieces.

The entire basin battlefield suddenly goes quiet, with only the rumbling of the sky and the rain... finally falling.

The pouring rain falls onto the earth, but it is difficult to quickly wash away the bloodstains here.

Xu Qing stands in the rain, panting; he has many wounds on his body, and although most are recovering, some are still quite severe and cannot heal immediately.

This battle was not simple for him either; the opponent’s numbers were too great.

At this moment, he turns his head to look at the trembling straw-cape cultivator and the elephant-trunk brute not far away.

"We didn't attack!"

"From beginning to end, we never attacked at all!"

These two, swept by Xu Qing’s gaze, tremble uncontrollably.

Xu Qing says nothing, his gaze shifting away to look at the rogue cultivators fleeing in the distance; they had attacked Xu Qing, and seeing things go wrong, they scattered in a panic.

Xu Qing does not pursue; as he watches coldly, those rogue cultivators do not even manage to leave the island before they scream one after another, their bodies turning blue-black, dying from the poison.

This scene makes the straw-cape alien and the elephant-trunk brute tremble even more.

Ignoring these two, Xu Qing turns around and grabs toward the distance with his right hand; the black iron skewer flies over, and after it lands in his hand, he swings it again; the black iron skewer is incredibly agile, darting rapidly among the corpses in the surroundings.

To prevent anyone from playing dead, Xu Qing is finishing them off.

The straw-cape alien and the elephant-trunk brute attempt to retreat, and only after they have backed away quite far and realized Xu Qing is no longer paying attention to them, as if he has let them go, do they feel a sense of relief; yet, they still use all their strength to flee frantically for some distance, and only after they descend the mountain and enter the jungle do they truly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the greed hidden in their hearts remains undying, and they each secretly take out jade slips, wanting to transmit a message to the great cultivator leader outside, fearing that if they are late, the other party will escape.

But before they can transmit the message, two cold glints whistle toward them from behind; the speed is so fast that they arrive in an instant, and amidst the two’s drastically changed expressions, they pierce through their necks.

They die instantly.

Xu Qing withdraws his gaze with a calm expression; he knows that although there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators on Sea Lizard Island, it does not mean there are none in the surrounding sea area, and those two who fled were highly suspicious for wanting to transmit a message at this time—nine times out of ten, they were tipping off the enemy.

A normal person would not transmit a message at this time.

Xu Qing finishes off the remaining bodies while sorting through the spoils of the battlefield.

Not long after, he looks up at the corpses on the ground, and suddenly, the shadow at his feet spreads rapidly, directly grabbing the necks of three rogue cultivators who were playing dead and lifting them up.

With a crack, before these three can beg for mercy, their necks are crushed, and they instantly mutate and die.

At the very moment Xu Qing struck, the dead face on the chest of the sea ghost brute, who had been split in two, suddenly opened its eyes and instantly shot out, transforming into a small blood-colored figure.

Not knowing what method it had unleashed, it flew into mid-air regardless of the cost, its speed so fast that it instantly left the island, reached the sea, and fled frantically into the distance.

Xu Qing looked on coldly, and the only words of this battle came from his mouth.

"Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale!"

As soon as his words fell, the sea beside Sea Lizard Island suddenly erupted; amidst the towering waves, a hundred-zhang-long plesiosaur broke through the surface and swallowed the small blood-colored figure in one gulp!

Its silhouette blotted out the moonlight, its massive body reeking of the sea; after completely devouring the little red figure, it slapped the surface of the sea with its body and sank down.

The sea roared, and the waves churned.

The rain grew heavier.
