347 Blades Clash

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor trembled. He couldn’t tell if he was trembling in fear or excitement. He knew that once Xu Qing wanted to kill someone, unless the other party had shocking methods, he would definitely fight to the death.

In the past, Xu Qing’s enemies weren’t extremely strong but this time was different.

Not only did the Diamond Sect’s ancestor sense how powerful that Saintly Star was from afar, but he also occasionally heard the disciples of the Homicide Department talking about him. He knew that this person had peerless talent.

However, he couldn’t consider these at this moment. He understood that he only needed to know a little…

With Demon Xu’s personality, if he really died here, he would definitely use all his methods before he died. Detonating the iron stick was probably one of them.

‘Because of this Saintly Star, Demon Xu wants to kill. Because of this Saintly Star, Demon Xu wants to detonate me. Because of this Saintly Star, my life is in danger. All of this is because of Saintly Star. Saintly Star, you are trying to kill me!!’

When the Diamond Sect’s ancestor thought of this, his eyes turned bloodshot. He stared fixedly at Saintly Star through the black iron stick.

The shadow also clearly sensed the subtle fluctuations in Xu Qing and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. Its intelligence had developed a lot now. After some thought, it also tensed up.

Dusk arrived. Xu Qing had been releasing colorless and odorless poison in the surroundings.

In reality, these weren’t true poison. Regardless of whether it was individually or mixed together, they were harmless. However, once a catalyst was introduced, they could instantly turn into powerful poison.

However, Xu Qing felt that this wasn’t enough to erase the difference between him and Saintly Star. After all, Saintly Star had displayed the combat strength of six fires in the Seven Blood Eyes. This combat strength was terrifying enough to fight against the First Peak’s elder.

Most importantly, Xu Qing wasn’t sure if the combat strength of six fires was all that Saintly Star had.

In addition, he didn’t sense any traces of the other party’s Dao Protectors in the vicinity.

“With his personality, Saintly Star wouldn’t make the Dao Protectors remain concealed. So, he likely arranged for them to go out and deal with other things in the Phoenix Forbidden?”

Xu Qing pondered for a while. He felt that he still needed to observe more and not act rashly, just in case. At the same time, he was going to release more poison. Only then would his chances of winning increase.

He also opened five bottles that contained the little black bugs and controlled them to spread out.

However, after the little black bugs flew out, the results caused Xu Qing to be even more vigilant.

The canopy above Saintly Star’s head actually possessed some kind of protective barrier, causing the little black bugs to be unable to penetrate it immediately. They could only attach themselves to it and wait for an opportunity.

“My life lantern canopy can protect the soul… Does Saintly Star’s life lantern protect the body?” Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

Time flowed by. Dusk pa.s.sed and night arrived. The bright moon appeared in the sky and scattered its light on the ground.

Just as Xu Qing was sensing the poison in the surroundings and wondering which poison to add, his expression suddenly changed.

He saw that the instant night fell, the expressions of the cultivators outside the temple became solemn. Some of them even had faint antic.i.p.ation in their eyes.

This surprised Xu Qing. He lifted his head and his gaze landed on the one-fire Foundation Building old man in the distance.

Under Xu Qing’s gaze, the old man’s body trembled. After some hesitation, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xu Qing before speaking in a low voice.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, do you know the profundities of this Extreme Heaven Dao Temple?”

When Xu Qing heard this, his expression was as calm as ever. In the information he had obtained from the sect, there was indeed nothing about the profundities the other party had mentioned. Hence, he waited for the old man to continue.

When the old man saw this, he didn’t hesitate or hide anything and told him the reason.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, this Extreme Heaven Dao Temple was normal before but there have been some changes in the past four years. Hence, there are many more people here than before.”

“This change is that every time night falls and the moonlight sprinkles into the Dao temple, the moment it lands on the statue, some saber shadows will appear.”

“Everyone can see them, but until now, no one has been able to successfully comprehend them. Only that lord…” The old man’s gaze quickly swept past Saintly Star in the Dao Temple.

“He has gained something every night during these few days. Although we have failed time and time again, we still have some hope in our minds. We don’t ask for complete comprehension. Even if we can comprehend a little, it’s enough to increase our survival strength.”

The old man smiled bitterly.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and turned to look at the temple.

At that moment, the bright moon’s light covered the ground and when it landed on the temple, a few rays pa.s.sed through the cracks on the top of the temple and landed in the temple, s.h.i.+ning on the statue.

Under Xu Qing’s gaze, the statue in the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple slowly changed under the moonlight.

Vaguely, the statue gained some liveliness and seemed to be moving. Many saber shadows appeared beside it, faintly discernible.

However, in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.

Xu Qing felt strange and continued to stare. Very soon, he sensed the liveliness of the statue again and the saber shadows around it.

In the eyes of outsiders, these saber shadows were a blur. Only at a certain moment would they have the chance to see a clearer saber shadow.

However, in Xu Qing’s eyes, because he had already comprehended the Extreme Heaven Saber, each of these saber shadows was very clear.

The instant he saw them clearly, an illusory heavenly saber appeared above his head!

This heavenly saber was the Extreme Heaven Saber he had comprehended. As he continued to observe the saber shadows, streams of light spread from the illusory heavenly saber as though it was undergoing some changes.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this change was leaning toward the degree of materialization.

In the past, the heavenly saber was in an illusory form. At this moment, starting from the hilt, the heavenly saber actually showed signs of turning corporeal in the flowing light.

Moreover, this sign of materialization was still spreading. Xu Qing could imagine that once the light spread through the entire saber, the Extreme Heaven Saber would advance by a step from the illusory state in the past, infinitely close to a corporeal existence.

This scene caused the dozens of people in the surroundings to tremble. As shock appeared in their eyes, a heavenly saber similar to Xu Qing’s also appeared above the head of Saintly Star, who was meditating in the Dao Temple!

However, his heavenly saber was green while Xu Qing’s was purple!

Two heavenly sabers appeared one after another. This scene caused gasps to ring out in the surroundings. Many people’s eyes narrowed and their breathing became slightly hurried.

The arrival of Saintly Star had already shown this astonis.h.i.+ng scene since many days ago and the others were already used to it, but they were shocked that Xu Qing was also so peerless.

This was because they knew that this scene meant that the two of them had comprehended the Extreme Heaven Saber before. Moreover, their comprehension was astonis.h.i.+ng and they had the possibility of successfully comprehending the second saber strike.

“This Xu Qing… is indeed the Seven Blood Eyes’ heaven’s chosen!”

“The two of them are comprehending. And, from the looks of it, they are both materializing the saber move’s illusory form. The moment the saber completely materializes will be the moment they succeed in comprehending.”

“It depends on who succeeds first. Once one of them succeeds, no matter how much the other person comprehends, their efforts will instantly be wasted and lose all their comprehension.”

These dozens of people who had watched for so many days and understood the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple very well discussed in low voices, but they didn’t dare to have any crooked thoughts at this moment.

This was because comprehending the Extreme Heaven Saber didn’t mean that the person had lost their vigilance and killing power. If they dared to interfere, they would definitely die tragically on the spot.

In the eyes of everyone outside the Dao Temple, the heavenly sabers above Xu Qing and Saintly Star’s heads were emitting a resplendent light. Moreover, it seemed that the degree of materialization of Saintly Star was clearly greater. Now, it was at 50%.

As for Xu Qing, he arrived late and didn’t have much time to comprehend. Right now, his saber’s materialization was less than 10%.

Xu Qing coldly looked at Saintly Star. Looking at speed of materialization, if this continued, he would definitely be faster than Saintly Star.

However, although the Extreme Heaven Saber was important, there were many Dao temples. Moreover, only by comprehending seven saber moves could it be considered an emperor-level cultivation art. Hence, to Xu Qing, success or failure in comprehending it didn’t mean much..

He was considering whether he should make a move while the other party was comprehending.

“Although he has four b.a.l.l.s of life fire and has at least six fires battle prowess… 120 magic apertures have a huge weakness!”

During this period of time, Xu Qing had been fighting against the heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance, and had studied those heaven’s chosens with 120 magic apertures.

“I should release more poison. Only then will the poison’s might be much greater when it is activated.” Xu Qing fell silent and retracted his gaze as he decided to wait a little longer. Moreover, looking at the other party’s comprehension speed, it was impossible for him to succeed in a few days.

“Also… although those Dao Protectors of his aren’t here, I still have to be on guard.”

When Xu Qing thought of this, he temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his mind.

The instant he suppressed his killing intent, Saintly Star turned his head and expressionlessly looked at Xu Qing outside the temple. When he saw the saber shadow above Xu Qing’s head, his gaze gradually turned cold, as though he was looking at a dead person.

“Even a chicken dares to compete with a phoenix for glory!”

He didn’t plan to nurture it anymore. Since Xu Qing dared to fight with him for opportunities, he would just kill him and not waste so much time. After killing him, he could continue to comprehend.

As for the other party’s Seven Blood Eyes’ Sequence ident.i.ty, Saintly Star didn’t care. This was because he had sensed the redness in the sky during the day. Coupled with some things he understood, he knew that… the Alliance had attacked the north.

Now, it was the prime time of the Alliance. The Seven Blood Eyes wouldn’t dare to make a sound even if he killed a Sequence.

His personality was to follow his thoughts. Now that the killing intent in his mind had risen, he didn’t hesitate at all. He suddenly stood up and took a step out of the temple.

The 120 magic apertures in his body burned like a giant stove, and the four b.a.l.l.s of life fire in his body soared into the sky. His life lantern canopy emitted a rainbow light. Behind him, the green-bodied and red-tailed Miemeng let out a cry toward the sky.

The combat strength of six fires erupted at this moment. Its power was unstoppable and its aura suppressed the surroundings, causing the weather to change. It was as though countless lightning bolts were suddenly rumbling here.

The people outside the Dao Temple couldn’t react at all. They didn’t have the qualifications to see the speed of the six fires. Only Xu Qing suddenly lifted his head.

He also couldn’t see the speed of six fires.

After all, the difference between the six fires and the five fires was like four fires suppressing three fires. The difference was too great!

However, the surroundings were filled with his poison and the little black bugs filled the barrier around Saintly Star. All of this allowed Xu Qing to instantly sense him.
