Chapter 107
Qian Qian Dafu thought he could pretend not to see, could suppress the greed in his heart, and have awe for the core disciples of the sect.
However, after tossing and turning for several nights, he found that he really couldn't do it.
He is not a saint; he is just an ordinary person.
So many supreme-grade spirit stones, plus ready-made Soul-Forming Pills, one Foundation Establishment, one Jin Dan Great Completion, he could completely take a risk.
Even if he failed, he wouldn't regret it. What's more, with such meticulous planning, his probability of success was extremely high.
"Shopkeeper Qian, don't forget I get seven, you get three!" The ghost Taoist reminded leisurely.
No, to be precise, if what he said was true, then these things might belong entirely to him.
One looks like late-stage Foundation Establishment, the other is Jin Dan Great Completion. As for Qian Qian Dafu, he is just a useless early-stage Jin Dan.
This place is sparsely populated, and with his mid-stage Soul Formation cultivation, isn't it just pinching them to death?
And you are all people from Taiqingmen. Sometimes, dead people can keep secrets better.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian woke up instantly and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Ghost Senior is right, it was the junior who lost his composure. Now we have completely moved away from Lingyun Prefecture. Even if they send a distress message, others won't be able to arrive here in a short time."
"By the way, that person named Yan Xiao has a Mother-Child Scroll on him, left by their Master. Remember not to give him a chance to open this scroll."
After hearing this, the two looked at Qian Qian Dafu again, full of strangeness, and killing intent appeared.
This completely blocked their retreat.
The ghost Taoist was also shocked when he heard this.
"Humph, don't worry, within a stick of incense, I will definitely solve them!" The ghost Taoist said proudly. At this point, a cruel look appeared on his face.
Qian Qian Dafu on the side looked at the ghost Taoist, and the moment he lowered his head, a cold arc quietly lifted from the corner of his mouth.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. Two little guys who don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, if you want to blame someone, blame your shallow blessings. It is appropriate to use this place as your burial ground."
The ghost Taoist looked gloomy and didn't drag it out. He waved the black banner in his hand, and the black mist surged out instantly. Countless evil ghosts were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in it, making shrill screams, which made people's hair stand on end.
These evil ghosts rushed straight to Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao like a tide, and he himself flashed and disappeared in place in an instant.
Qian Qian Dafu also didn't hesitate, his figure like electricity, carrying three long swords and stabbing out like lightning.
"I'll block, you find an opportunity and run, don't worry about me!"
Yan Xiao couldn't care about much now, shouted, the light of the big knife in his hand skyrocketed, and a brilliant knife light instantly cut through the sky, carrying an invincible momentum, and slashed fiercely into the black thick fog.
Only hearing a loud bang, the black thick fog was split in two, but soon merged again.
And the ghost Taoist also appeared suddenly from above at this time, his hands quickly pinched the formula, and three evil ghosts, several feet tall, ferocious, and exuding the aura of Jin Dan Great Completion, walked out slowly from the black banner, roaring and rushing towards Yan Xiao.
Zhou Qing's broken sword was surging with thunder arcs, and he was about to step forward to help, but Qian Qian Dafu shot over like lightning from the other side.
"Zhou Qing, today is your death day!" Qian Qian Dafu sneered, and the three flying swords were unsheathed instantly, turning into three brilliant lights, shooting towards Zhou Qing.
Its speed was so fast that wherever it passed, the air was cut and made a sharp sound.
This huge contrast made Zhou Qing have a new understanding of the sinister nature of human hearts. He had never had such strong killing intent for a person.
"I don't seem to have ever said that I am late-stage Foundation Establishment!" Zhou Qing no longer hid it at this moment, and the powerful cultivation aura belonging to mid-stage Jin Dan was fully released, which made Qian Qian Dafu's face change drastically.
"You are really damned!" Silver light flickered under Zhou Qing's feet, and he actually took the initiative to approach the three flying swords. He swung his broken sword fiercely, and a thick thunder arc shot out instantly.
The two collided, and a earth-shattering loud noise sounded instantly, and the three flying swords flew out directly.
"Silver Dragon Hand!!!" Zhou Qing raised his hands fiercely, and a huge silver dragon roared and roared out directly.
Seeing this, Qian Qian Dafu didn't say a word and turned to flee.
He never expected that Zhou Qing was not Foundation Establishment, but mid-stage Jin Dan, which was one realm higher than him.
Completely careless.
"Green Wood Imperial Spirit Shield!" Zhou Qing pinched the formula with both hands, and the trees below extended countless vines instantly, directly trapping Qian Qian Dafu.
Before he could break through, the silver dragon had already arrived.
"No—" A terrifying explosion sounded in this world, and then he saw a burnt corpse falling straight down.
Zhou Qing snorted coldly, quickly looked at the high sky, and went to help.
"Waste!"
Seeing Qian Qian Dafu beheaded in one encounter, the ghost Taoist spat directly.
This guy didn't even investigate the other party's background, and dared to guarantee that everything was under control.
But it's also good, saving himself from doing it afterwards.
"Third Zhou Shixiong, move aside!" Zhou Qing shouted.
Yan Xiao didn't say a word and retreated rapidly.
"Cang Lei Sword Art First Style, Cang Lei Breaking Void Slash, break!"
Silver light flickered under Zhou Qing's feet, and he appeared in the center of the three evil ghosts instantly, swinging his broken sword fiercely at this moment.
In an instant, the wind and clouds in the sky changed, dark clouds rolled, and thunder arcs like silver snakes shuttled through the clouds.
Then it turned into several terrifying sword qi and fell down.
The three evil ghosts screamed shrilly, and were blown to pieces and vanished in an instant.
"Well done!" Yan Xiao was overjoyed.
At this moment, the ghost Taoist's face was extremely ugly. The three Jin Dan Great Completion evil ghosts he had worked so hard to cultivate were gone just like that.
He didn't expect that this doll who pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger was also practicing the thunder formula specifically to restrain evil things.
"I will make you the new evil ghost in my soul banner!"
The ghost Taoist stared at Zhou Qing fiercely, looked at the supreme-grade spirit stone in his hand, and launched an attack again.
After all, in his view, that supreme-grade spirit stone would soon be his thing, but now it was being absorbed by a dying person, and he felt more heartache than anyone else.
"Your opponent is me!" Yan Xiao's eyes condensed, releasing baby fire, carrying a long knife and rushing up, and the two fought together instantly.
Zhou Qing frowned, his thoughts turning rapidly.
He knew that even if the two joined forces again, they could at most be on par with an early-stage Soul Formation cultivator, and it was extremely difficult to kill a mid-stage one.
Moreover, now that such a big sensation had been caused here, if someone noticed and sneaked over, it would be bad if someone else benefited from the fisherman afterwards.
Must end the battle quickly!
And his strongest killing move was the second style of Cang Lei Sword Art. With his current cultivation and Yin-Yang Art, he should be able to perform it three times in a row.
After all, when he confronted the Blood Tai Sui in the Ghost City, he had to perform it twice, but afterwards he really had no strength at all.
Now that he had the "Yin-Yang Art", he could try it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing immediately put away the supreme-grade spirit stone, held the broken sword, and approached the ghost Taoist rapidly.
"Third Zhou Shixiong, don't get entangled in the battle!" Zhou Qing sent a sound transmission to Yan Xiao quickly.
At this moment, Yan Xiao was panting, showing a crazy look, and seemed to have made some decision in his eyes.
Just at this moment, Zhou Qing's voice suddenly came to his ear.
"What?" Yan Xiao didn't understand for a moment.
And Zhou Qing had already locked onto the ghost Taoist with cold eyes.
"Cang Lei Sword Art Second Style, Thunder Shadow Ten Thousand Jun Strike, kill!"
He raised his broken sword fiercely, and the dark clouds that had not yet dispersed in the sky gathered again, thunder and lightning flashed, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Seeing this scene, the ghost Taoist rushed straight to Zhou Qing, killing intent filling his eyes.
After all, the other party's thunder method naturally restrained him, and even affected the power of his various magic spells.
This son must be solved first, and he must not be given a chance to continue performing.
"Old Ghost, where are you going!" Yan Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to block the ghost Taoist's way.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky rolled and surged constantly, and Zhou Qing could clearly feel the spiritual power in the two Golden Cores being frantically drawn.
In the clouds, a huge thunder shadow like a roaring giant dragon formed at this time, and roared down with sharp sword qi.
The target was the ghost Taoist.
Wherever the thunder shadow passed, the space was distorted and deformed, and the powerful pressure made people feel terrified.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao dodged instantly.
He had seen the power of this move with his own eyes in the mine of the Chiyan Chiyan Longshi, and the guard Peng Si was almost killed by it.
Seeing this scene, the ghost Taoist couldn't help but feel terrified and didn't dare to neglect. He hurriedly waved the black banner in his hand, black mist surged, countless ghost shadows appeared and disappeared in it, directly protecting him.
The next moment, the thunder dragon, carrying sword qi, broke through the obstruction of the black mist with an invincible momentum and slammed into the ghost Taoist.
The ghost Taoist screamed, his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.
He couldn't believe that he was actually injured by a Jin Dan realm.
What kind of cultivation method is this? It has such great power?
He was also full of grievances. In normal times, ten Jin Dan realms couldn't break his ghost mist, but the thunder method practiced by the other party just happened to restrain him.
"Old man will definitely make you wish you were dead..."
Zhou Qing's face was as pale as paper, but he didn't stop there. Another thunder shadow roared out from the clouds.
The ghost Taoist kept flashing to dodge, but this thunder dragon seemed to have locked onto the other party, roaring and arriving.
Having no choice, he had to raise the black banner to protect himself again.
The thunder dragon hit the ghost Taoist fiercely again, knocking him away again. The black robe on his body was also torn to pieces by the thunder arcs at this moment, revealing the scarred body inside.
"Old man wants you..."
Zhou Qing's eyes were cold, his body couldn't help but stagger, almost falling from the sky, but he gritted his teeth and performed the second style for the third time.
"Thunder Shadow Ten Thousand Jun Strike! Kill again!"
This time, the thunder dragon with sword intent was even bigger, and with an invincible momentum, it ruthlessly crushed towards the ghost Taoist.
"How is this possible!"
No matter what, the ghost Taoist couldn't believe that such a terrifying supernatural power could be performed by a Jin Dan realm one after another.
Without thinking too much, he slapped his chest fiercely, and a large mouthful of black blood with a fishy smell came out, and then he slammed it into the black banner in front of him.
The black banner expanded instantly, and the rolling black clouds increased by more than three times in an instant.
Boom!
The thunder dragon also arrived at this moment. After the huge collision, the huge roar resounded through the world.
Crack—
A breaking sound suddenly came. When he saw that the soul banner he had built for many years had cracks, the ghost Taoist was shocked.
Before he had time to make repairs, the soul banner broke into two halves completely. The remaining thunder dragon instantly enveloped him, and the powerful thunder and lightning power raged in his body, making him scream again and again.
Not only that, thousands of ghost things crawled out of the broken soul banner, roaring and rushing towards the ghost Taoist.
"I want to kill you, I want to kill you—" The ghost Taoist was completely furious.
Yan Xiao originally wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but Zhou Qing softened and fell directly from the sky.
"Fourth!" Yan Xiao was shocked, hurriedly flew over to catch him, and seeing Zhou Qing's pale face and weak breath, he hurriedly stuffed a pill into his mouth and carried him on his back.
It was also at this time that he understood what Zhou Qing said just now. He glared fiercely at the ghost Taoist who was being bitten by the group of ghosts, gritted his teeth, endured the anger in his heart, turned around and ran.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just at the next moment, countless purple silk threads suddenly burst out from the ghost Taoist who was screaming and struggling.
Its speed was so fast that Yan Xiao didn't even have time to react, and it directly penetrated through his limbs.
At this time, the ghost Taoist screamed even more miserably, because these silk threads seemed to be frantically extracting his vitality.
"What's going on? What are these things? My blood, my vitality—" While the ghost Taoist was terrified, the speed of those evil ghosts gnawing also accelerated a lot.
Yan Xiao waved his big knife to cut it off, but found that these silk threads were extremely tough, and all his spiritual power and essence blood were being frantically absorbed by these silk threads.
Just for a moment, he felt dizzy.
"Really a waste, fortunately I made two preparations, it's just a pity for a life-saving talisman."
And Qian Qian Dafu, who had long since died, appeared strangely in front of Yan Xiao, sneering with a pale face.
Yan Xiao was full of shock and wanted to break free, but found that the harder he tried, the less strength he had.
The ghost Taoist screamed in horror: "It's that cup of wine, you dare to harm this seat!"
"I have been in Lingyun Prefecture for so many years, do you really think I stayed for nothing? Just picking up leaks, my luck is sometimes not bad!"
At this moment, Qian Qian Dafu couldn't help laughing out loud.
To avoid long nights and dreams, he didn't talk too much, his face turned cold, and the long sword in his hand killed Yan Xiao fiercely.
Yan Xiao was full of unwillingness. He struggled hard, but like a moth trapped in a spider web, he was powerless.
"Qian Qian Dafu, your Tiger Master will not let you go even if I become a ghost—" Yan Xiao roared, full of grief and indignation.
Just at this critical moment, Zhou Qing, who was carried on Yan Xiao's back, suddenly opened his eyes, turned over, used all his strength, pushed him back, and blocked in front of Yan Xiao.
With a puff, the long sword instantly pierced into Zhou Qing's body, and blood sprayed out instantly, staining his clothes red.
Yan Xiao widened his eyes, full of shock and grief.
"F-Fourth—" Yan Xiao's voice trembled, tears shining in his eyes.
A weak smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face. Before he could open his mouth, a pair of hands suddenly pierced through his abdomen.
Zhou Qing only felt a sharp pain, subconsciously looked down, and saw a pair of eagle-claw-like hands penetrating his abdomen, grabbing a Jin Dan that was still emitting heat.
Qian Qian Dafu's leisurely voice sounded from behind: "Don't you like to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger? I'll let you pretend. I originally kept that life-saving talisman for great use..."
Puff—
Before Qian Qian Dafu finished speaking, Zhou Qing roared, and the broken sword in his hand appeared who knows when, slammed down, and directly pierced his palm.
Qian Qian Dafu, who was in pain, withdrew it immediately and was even more annoyed.
"A rusty broken iron sword, your core disciple really lives a miserable life. It's a pity you don't have a Jin Dan anymore. This is the price!"
Qian Qian Dafu had a crazy and ferocious look on his face, directly crushing the Jin Dan in his hand on the spot. The golden fragments scattered everywhere, falling into the world.
"No—" Seeing this scene, Yan Xiao roared, his eyes red, wishing to cut Qian Qian Dafu into a thousand pieces.
He struggled desperately, his whole body's baby fire burned, and a silk thread on his right hand suddenly broke.
Seeing this scene, Qian Qian Dafu's expression changed, and then he kicked Zhou Qing, who was blocking in front, away, wanting to finish Yan Xiao as soon as possible.
But suddenly, the ghost Taoist, who had no good flesh on his whole body, suddenly appeared behind him, hugged Qian Qian Dafu, and bit him crazily.
Qian Qian Dafu screamed again and again.
"I am a Soul Formation realm who has practiced for a thousand years, when is it your turn to be the oriole? Go to hell!"
"Explode for me!" Qian Qian Dafu roared, not caring that large pieces of flesh on his neck and shoulders were bitten off, and suddenly shouted.
With a bang, the ghost Taoist exploded uncontrollably. The terrifying ripples spread, and the air wave blew Qian Qian Dafu away directly.
"Ah ah ah—"
Yan Xiao's limbs were full of blood, and he actually broke the remaining silk threads. Regardless of the exposed bones and flesh, he flew down immediately and hugged Zhou Qing, who was about to fall to the ground, tightly.
Tears had long blurred his eyes.
"Fourth, Fourth, wake up, don't scare Zhou Shixiong—"
He looked nervous, looking at the huge gap on Zhou Qing's stomach, wanting to stop the bleeding, but couldn't stop it no matter what.
"Ten-thousand-year blood ginseng, yes, ten-thousand-year blood ginseng—"
He trembled all over, hurriedly took out half a blood ginseng from his storage bag, and fed it to Zhou Qing with trembling hands.
"Fourth, open your mouth quickly, I'm sorry, it was Zhou Shixiong who lied to you. I have a full half of this ten-thousand-year blood ginseng, eat it quickly."
Last time Zhou Qing's hand was pierced by a broken sword and bled constantly, Yan Xiao once took out a ginseng whisker for Zhou Qing.
After eating it, the lost blood recovered rapidly in a short time, but he didn't expect that he had a full half of it.
You have to know that a whole ten-thousand-year blood ginseng might not be bought even if the entire Taiqingmen was packed and sold, showing its rarity.
But at this time, Zhou Qing was already weak and unconscious, unable to swallow even if he wanted to.
"Master, Master—"
Yan Xiao was already in tears, completely helpless, not knowing what to do, his heart full of despair.
Little Shidi's Jin Dan was crushed by someone right in front of him. In a panic, he hurriedly took out the Mother-Child Scroll and activated it.
"Master, come quickly, save Fourth, he is about to die—"
At this moment, Yan Xiao cried like a helpless child, just hugging Zhou Qing tightly, feeling that the most important person in his life was about to leave him.
…………
Taiqingmen, Shenyue Peak!
Today, Shenyue Peak is lively, and Sect Master Cao Zhengyang even took out the fine wine he had treasured for many years to entertain his fellow Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Brother.
This is all because of his little apprentice Lu Lu Yaoyao.
This time Lu Lu Yaoyao settled down to retreat, and actually crossed two realms in a row, breaking through directly to late-stage Foundation Establishment.
It is truly a cause for celebration.
And the Peak Masters also guessed that the ray of Heavenly Dao Qi—Star Spirit, ranked twenty-sixth, in the hands of the Sect Master Zhou Shixiong, was most likely used on this child.
Everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Lu Lu Yaoyao was full of joy, toasting the Shishu one by one.
"Work hard, the future is promising!" Mo Mo Xingjian took the wine and encouraged with a smile.
Lu Lu Yaoyao was full of joy, her eyes shining with excitement: "Thank you, Shishu. By the way, Shishu, hasn't Zhou Zhou Shixiong come out of retreat yet?"
Lu Lu Yaoyao's tone carried a hint of anticipation.
Mo Mo Xingjian coughed dryly, and then drank the wine in his hand.
Last time this child came to Xiaoling Peak with Immortal Immortal Xuanyou, he lied that the two disciples were in retreat.
Now Immortal Immortal Xuanyou has long since left, and the matter regarding Gu Tao, the hall master of the Task Hall, has slowly calmed down.
Half a year has passed in a flash, and those two children still have no news, which is really worrying.
Mo Mo Xingjian was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took out the Mother Scroll from the Mother-Child Scroll.
At this moment, the Mother Scroll was constantly flashing with dazzling red light, looking so urgent and uneasy.
Mo Mo Xingjian's heart jumped wildly. When he left, he specifically warned the two that if they encountered danger, they must open the Mother-Child Scroll in time.
"They are in danger!" This was the first thought that emerged in Mo Mo Xingjian's mind.
And at this time, Sect Master Cao Cao Zhengyang also saw this scene and came instantly.
"What's going on?" Cao Cao Zhengyang asked anxiously.
Mo Xingjian was anxious, not daring to delay for a moment, quickly opened the scroll and said anxiously: "Zhou Qing and Xiao Hu went to Lingyun Prefecture. Trouble Senior Brother Zhou to watch for me, I'll go and come back."
Cao Cao Zhengyang was quick-eyed and fast-handed, pulling Mo Mo Xingjian who was about to step into it, full of worry: "Be careful!"
And other Peak Masters also quickly gathered around. They didn't expect Mo Mo Xingjian to spend such a high price to make a Mother-Child Scroll and leave it to his apprentice.
This thing is extremely dangerous. Once someone steps into it, not to mention whether the internal space is stable, just the destruction of the Mother Scroll or Child Scroll alone will trigger spatial chaos, causing people entering it to completely lose their direction, and even possibly be torn apart directly by space.
Mo Mo Xingjian couldn't care about anything else at this moment, and resolutely plunged into it.
Cao Cao Zhengyang stood by the Mother Scroll himself to protect it.
At this time, Lu Lu Yaoyao also understood and asked with worry: "Master, is Zhou Zhou Shixiong in danger?"
Cao Cao Zhengyang comforted: "Don't worry, it's fine. Didn't your Mo Shishu already rush over personally?"
Lu Lu Yaoyao was silent, hurriedly ran to the side to pray.
The originally lively hall was now full of solemn atmosphere. Everyone was staring at the red-glowing scroll, full of worry.
