Chapter 382 - 382 Why Seek Death?

382 Why Seek Death?

Xu Qing had heard of the Sword Holders from the captain before. He knew that they belonged to the Upper Mystic Five Ministries of the Grand Imperial Capital Region. There was a Sword Holding Palace in all the seven counties of the human race’s territory and a Sword Holding Court in every province.

However, he had never seen them before.

Hearing the captain’s words, Xu Qing focused his gaze over and his gaze darkened slightly. Regardless of the pursued or the pursuer, the combat strength of the two people in the sky was terrifying and the aftershocks of their attacks were even more astonis.h.i.+ng.

If Xu Qing didn’t have Old Master Seventh’s protection, he would definitely die.

“Two Heavenly Palaces…” As Xu Qing mumbled, the two people in the sky pa.s.sed by the Immortal Enrichment River. The old demon in front was about to cross the tributary and escape to the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain.

However, his gaze swept below and it landed on the s.h.i.+ps of the Alliance. His gaze was immediately filled with ferocity.

He was currently injured and urgently needed to devour qi and blood to heal his injuries. Hence, he couldn’t care less that these s.h.i.+ps belonged to the Eight Sects Alliance. He split into more than ten clones which swept up black wind and headed straight for the s.h.i.+ps, wanting to devour all the beings on them.

However, the instant the old demon got close, the Seven Blood Eyes’ s.h.i.+ps instantly buzzed; the array formations were instantly activated, forming powerful protective barriers.

The old demon’s clones landed one after another and bombarded these s.h.i.+ps in unison, causing the protective barriers to distort intensely. The expressions of the disciples inside changed and some of them even spat out blood.

Even their eyes bled.

The red-haired old demon’s entire body was like a huge black hole that distorted all the light. Just a glance made them feel that the world was spinning.

Only people with Xu Qing and the captain’s cultivation levels could ignore this pressure. They even counterattacked the moment the other party’s clone struck their s.h.i.+p.

Xu Qing immediately released the poison catalyst. When he was free, he would release some poison every day. Before these poisons were activated, they wouldn’t cause any harm. Instead, they were beneficial and could increase one’s qi and blood.

They would dissipate on their own in half a month without any hidden danger.

Now, Xu Qing had released a total of 170 to 180 types of poison. It was all for the sake of instantly activating them when there was a crisis, and severely poisoning the enemy.

Almost at the instant the old demon arrived, Xu Qing punched out at the old demon outside the protective barrier without hesitation. He had put a trace of poison catalyst that wasn’t easily volatilized on his fist..

At the same time, he performed a series of hand seals with his left hand and the sky changed color. A black cloud appeared and a withered finger descended from the sky, heading straight for the old demon outside the protective barrier.

The captain also performed a series of hand seals. With a wave of his hand, an ice spear formed and he ruthlessly threw it. Immediately, this spear tore through the air with indestructible power and headed straight for the old demon.

In an instant, the withered finger landed and the ice spear pierced over. The old demon’s clone collapsed and turned into fog that was sent back.

The remaining old demon’s clones couldn’t blast through the protective barrier of the s.h.i.+ps in a short period of time and returned one after another. However, they weren’t injured. Only the clone that had headed toward Xu Qing and the captain collapsed into fog.

In the blink of an eye, the fog fused with the other clones, forming the old demon’s figure. He suddenly turned his head and glanced fiercely at Xu Qing and the captain. His eyes were filled with killing intent but the Sword Holder had already caught up to him. He let out a cold snort and sped up his escape, heading straight for the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain.

However, at this moment, a large amount of cold air suddenly appeared around the old demon. With cracking sounds, they directly began to freeze, forming countless ice mirrors that reflected the specters of bizarre ent.i.ties that let out soundless roars at him.

The expression of the old demon changed and his soul became blurry for an instant. Fortunately, the Heavenly Palaces above his head landed and destroyed all the mirrors. However, his speed was still affected for a moment and the Sword Holder behind him got closer and closer.

“d.a.m.n it!” The old demon was furious. He could tell that it was the people from the alliance below who were behind this. However, he didn’t have time to deal with them right now. After memorizing their faces, he wanted to speed up. However, at the next instant, his already black face darkened even more.

“Poison!” The old demon spat out a mouthful of black blood and his expression changed again. Although this poison couldn’t kill him, it brought many negative effects, causing his qi and blood to be unstable. His cultivation base seemed to have some trouble circulating smoothly and his entire body was itching unbearably. His throat also itched, causing him to cough.

His speed slowed down again.

At the next instant, a sword qi instantly approached. The old demon couldn’t dodge in time and his chest was pierced. He let out a cry and fled crazily toward the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain.

The Sword Holder didn’t stop at all and continued to pursue. Gradually, he and the old demon disappeared in the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain. Rumbling sounds rang out from afar, and a moment later, a sword light flew out from the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain.

It was the Sword Holder. He carried a head in his hand and was flying into the sky. When he pa.s.sed by the alliance’s fleet, he lowered his head and looked at Xu Qing and the captain before nodding slightly. After that, whether on purpose or not, he glanced at the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain before leaving.

In the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain, where the Sword Holder had fought earlier, one could see a headless corpse lying there. However, at this moment, the fingers moved slightly.

However, he didn’t notice that under the sunlight, an eye had opened in the shadow beside him.

At the same time, on the Immortal Enrichment River, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. The feedback from the shadow allowed him to know that the old demon had faked his death. From how the other party dared to attack even the Allliance’s s.h.i.+ps, it could be seen how savage he was. Once he recovered, he might be a hidden danger in the future.

Hence, Xu Qing glanced at the captain. The captain’s gaze also landed on Xu Qing.

“He’s a hidden danger.”

“He has treasures on him.”

The two of them spoke almost at the same time. After that, deep meaning appeared in their eyes. They instantly stood up and transformed into two rainbows that headed straight for the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain.

After they got close, the captain sniffed his surroundings. Just as he was about to search for a specific location, Xu Qing rushed out first. His target was clear.

The captain raised his brows and quickly followed. Very soon, the two of them entered a dense forest in the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain. After moving deeper, they saw a valley.

In the valley, there was a headless corpse. At this moment, he was sitting up with great difficulty and his body was shaking due to the extreme weakness. However, he still performed hand seals with both hands.

Flesh squirmed on his neck, as though it was about to grow a new head. However, at the next instant, his body suddenly trembled. An eye crawled out of the flesh on his neck and looked at the two figures walking over from outside the valley in horror.

They were Xu Qing and the captain.

“You should have just continued to flee for your life and not provoke us.”

“Why do it?” The captain grinned and a dark glint appeared in his eyes. An identical face appeared in his pupils and it was also smiling sinisterly. His entire body emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, causing the headless old demon to tremble.

As for Xu Qing, he was expressionless and his gaze was as calm as if he was looking at a dead person. From the moment the other party attacked, he was prepared to kill this person.

At that moment, Xu Qing’s cultivation base circulated. There seemed to be only three life fires in his body, however, the feeling he gave the old demon wasn’t inferior to a Heavenly Palace at all. This caused the old demon’s mind to shake again.

He was extremely weak now. One of his Heavenly Palaces had collapsed and the other was on the verge of collapse. Although he still had his Golden Core, his combat strength had fallen to the bottom.

His storage bag and magic artifacts along with his head were all taken away by the Sword Holder.

He originally thought that he had deceived the Sword Holder. Now, it was obvious that the Sword Holder couldn’t be bothered to kill him and left him for these two brats to repay them for their actions earlier.

Just as he was about to transmit his divine sense, Xu Qing and the captain made their moves. The two of them instantly approached the headless old demon.

The old demon suddenly jumped up and tried to escape. However, ice walls instantly appeared behind him and a sea manifested behind the wall. Waves rose like a tsunami and bombarded him.

It wasn’t just one bombardment but nine consecutive times, causing the heavily injured old demon’s entire body to tremble violently. As his body flew back, a huge ice hand rapidly stretched out from the seawater and grabbed fiercely at the old demon. The captain’s face was in the ice hand. His eyes were closed but he opened his mouth and swallowed fiercely.

The old demon retreated again. The eye on his neck looked with fear and anxiety as he hurriedly transmitted his divine sense.

“Two little friends, I was wrong earlier. I…” Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing suddenly neared him with his terrifying speed and punched out with his right hand. The old demon’s entire body shook and his body was turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. Xu Qing formed seals with his left hand and black clouds instantly filled the sky. A withered finger descended and touched the flesh on the old demon’s neck.

The old demon’s divine sense let out mournful cries as his body was on the verge of collapsing. At the next moment, a vortex appeared behind him and transformed into a large mouth that devoured him.

The old demon’s broken body directly entered the large mouth. After some chewing sounds, a vomiting sound rang out and the large mouth spat out the old demon.

The old demon was in an extremely miserable state. His waist was about to break and his divine sense was incomparably weak. It was as though most of his divine sense had been devoured at that moment.

Xu Qing glanced at the vortex. He had seen Old Master Seventh use this spell before and devour three Golden Cores in one gulp.

“Not delicious!” The vortex disappeared and the captain’s figure walked out. While walking, he vomited.

“It’s too rancid! I want to relax my stomach for a while. Sigh, it would be so good if there were some snacks. This guy is too disgusting!” As he spoke, he hurriedly took out an apple and ate it with crunching sounds. Since he couldn’t eat snacks, he could only rely on the apple to relieve his discomfort.

Xu Qing didn’t bother with him. He walked in front of the dying old demon and pressed between his brows. The fiendish fire erupted and burned the old demon. Very soon, soul power gathered in his body. Amidst cracking sounds, his 103rd, 1034, and 105th magic apertures instantly opened.

This wasn’t the end. Next were 106, 107… After the 108th magic aperture was opened, the old demon’s body shook. The Golden Crow appeared behind Xu Qing and sucked, devouring the qi and blood of the old demon who had lost his soul and the power of his divine sense.

The old demon turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

Xu Qing stood up. The captain looked at the place where the old demon had disappeared and smiled at Xu Qing.

“Little Qing, do you think he’s the demon or are we? This… is too clean.”

Xu Qing seriously thought about it and was about to speak. However, at that moment, in this dense forest, there was suddenly… fog!

Cold, sinister wind blew!
