Chapter 1246: Abnormal
The next moment, Fairy Jing’s whole body was covered with a layer of golden light, and her body fell straight down. No matter how she struggled, except for the scar on her face that became more and more ferocious, she was unable to move the slightest. Even her spiritual power was imprisoned.
This ability was obtained after Xie’er advanced to the Real Pellet State later stage. It could temporarily hold the cultivator’s soul and make him immobile.
Xie’er would not give her any chance to escape.
After a flicker, her figure instantly soared to several meters in size, and she flew in front of Fairy Jing who was falling at a high speed. At the same time, the tail hook launched dense black lines into the head of Fairy Jing.
Pong!
Before Fairy Jing could let out a scream, her head burst open, turning into a rain of blood. Her soul was decimated by the golden light before having the chance to escape.
After a blur, Xie’er turned into the girl in black tulle again. She carried Qian Rupin in her arms, wrapped themselves in a golden light, and dashed into the sea in the distance.
From Xie’er’s sudden appearance to killing Fairy Jing, it took only a few seconds. Although Yan Qing and the other 2 noticed such a change, they couldn’t a.s.sist in time. Xie’er had already flew into the sea with Qian Rupin and disappeared without a trace.
The 3 of them were astounded. They couldn’t help but stop the escape light at the same time.
At this moment, Liu Ming, who was fleeing in front, stopped, turned around and charged toward the 3 of them.
Seeing Liu Ming’s moves, they did not show any joy.
They shouted at the same time. The b.l.o.o.d.y sword of the man with thick eyebrows, Yan Qing’s white jade big seal, and the burly man surnamed’s blade shot out at the same time.
The 3 magic weapons shone brightly and formed a giant net, enveloping toward Liu Ming.
Liu Ming blurred and flew down the sea.
Their expressions changed. After Liu Ming flew into the sea, he seemed to have merged with the sea. Their Divine Thoughts couldn’t sense the existence of Liu Ming at all.
They glanced at each other. The man with thick eyebrows, who had the highest cultivation, suddenly shouted,
“Be careful below!”
As soon as he shouted, the sea below the 3 of them suddenly burst open. A thick water beam shot over.
They had no time to dodge, but because they had activated defensive barriers before, they didn’t take much damage. Even so, they were still pushed away by the enormous force.
The muscular man with the thick eyebrows stabilized his body after a flash of b.l.o.o.d.y light, but before he could react, a purple sword light emerged from the water beam. It rushed toward him with menacing sword intent.
“Body and sword fusion?”
The man with thick eyebrows felt a heartquake. The feeling of extreme danger instantly surfaced in his mind. He opened his mouth without hesitation and spat out a cl.u.s.ter of blood essence at the b.l.o.o.d.y sword beside him.
In the blink of an eye, the b.l.o.o.d.y sword grew several times. It spun and blocked in front of him like a b.l.o.o.d.y shield.
“Boom“, a loud explosion spread across the bottom of the sea. In the fierce collision of b.l.o.o.d.y light and purple light, a huge vortex was formed.
The b.l.o.o.d.y sword of the man with thick eyebrows couldn’t stop the purple sword light at all. It was slashed in half, exposing the man with thick eyebrows behind.
The man with thick eyebrows felt dreadful. He wanted to resist with other means, but it was too late.
Accompanied by the tearing sound, the purple sword light flashed past. Liu Ming’s figure was revealed tens of meters behind the man with thick eyebrows.
The expression of the man with thick eyebrows froze instantly. A red line appeared around his neck. The next moment, his head tilted and rolled down.
Without looking back, Liu Ming casually flicked his finger at the man with thick eyebrows’ forehead. Just as his soul escape from the head, it was wrapped instantly in a cloud of purple mist.
A purple slender shadow flashed in the mist, then there was an abrupt scream.
Liu Ming waved and recalled the purple light, then he turned around and glanced coldly at Yan Qing and the burly man surnamed Ge who were stupefied in the distance.
Seeing Liu Ming’s stern expression and thinking of the beheading scene of the man with thick eyebrows just now, how could they dare to have any intention of fighting? They turned around and fled in fear.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows. After a flutter of the silver wings, his figure disappeared again.
The burly man surnamed Ge escaped a little slower than Yan Qing. He didn’t dare to look back for fear of delaying the opportunity to escape.
The next moment, a black light flashed behind him, and Liu Ming suddenly appeared. With a lift of his right hand, 3 black mist dragons and 3 tigers swarmed toward the man surnamed Ge.
A series of loud impacts!
The man surnamed Ge showed despair in his eyes. Before he could scream, his body turned into a puddle of flesh in the continuous crackling sound. His soul couldn’t even manage to escape in time.
Immediately afterward, Liu Ming pointed in a certain direction. A purple sword light shot out.
Yan Qing obviously knew what happened to the man surnamed Ge. When he wanted to turn his head to check Liu Ming’s position, he saw a giant purple net covering him.
There was a sound of begging for mercy, then Yan Qing was reduced to ashes in the purple sword net.
Liu Ming waved his hand and sent out a cloud of black air to loot their storage items.
At this moment, a figure flashed out from below and stopped beside Liu Ming. It was Xie’er. The unconscious Qian Rupin was in her arms.
“You have worked hard.”
Liu Ming took Qian Rupin from Xie’er and nodded to Xie’er.
Xie’er smiled and handed a storage bracelet to Liu Ming, which belonged to Fairy Jing, then she turned into black light and returned to the Yin Conversion Gourd on Liu Ming’s waist.
Liu Ming put away the storage items and injected a stream of spiritual power into Qian Rupin’s body. After realizing only her soul was concealed, he was relieved.
With a flick of his finger, a black light flew into Qian Rupin’s forehead.
Qian Rupin’s body shook, and she slowly opened his eyes.
“Brother Ming, not good. Yan Qing and the others have just sneaked up on me. They must be planning something bad. You have to be careful!” Qian Rupin shouted anxiously when she saw Liu Ming.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already killed them.” Liu Ming let go of Qian Rupin and said with a smile.
Qian Rupin looked around in surprise.
There was no one on the surface of the sea, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. Those people were really all beheaded by Liu Ming.
Qian Rupin was also a smart person. She quickly guessed most of the cause and effect of this matter. Yan Qing and the others did not kill her, because they wanted to use her to threaten Liu Ming.
“Sorry, I’ve caused trouble for Brother Ming again.” Qian Rupin’s face was a bit unsightly.
“Don’t worry about it. I didn’t think carefully about this matter. I didn’t expect people like Yan Qing would murder for spirit stones. But this time, if it wasn’t for the array you set up, I wouldn’t be able to kill the cold incense whale so smoothly. “Liu Ming said comfortingly.
After Qian Rupin heard this, her face looked a little better.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t stay here for long. The fluctuations caused by the battle just now might attract other cultivators or beastkins.” Liu Ming glanced into the distance and said so again.
Yan Ruping naturally had no opinion.
…
A few days later, they finally returned to the cave house in the Little Huan Courtyard again.
Qian Rupin was still a little depressed, so she went back to her room after informing Liu Ming.
Liu Ming went directly into the secret room and checked the storage items by Yan Qing and the other 3.
To his surprise, there were more than 100 million spirit stones in each of them. The muscular man with thick eyebrows had the most among them. There were nearly 300 million spirit stones.
In addition, there were other rare materials, etc.. They seemed to be of great value. This should be the wealth they acc.u.mulated over the years, but now they gifted Liu Ming for free.
With so many spirit stones, plus Liu Ming’s earnings from refining pills over the years, it was enough for the 2 of them to board the sea-crossing giant ship. There were still a lot of spirit stones left.
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out several storage items, and took out the brain spice of cold incense whale.
Although the brain spice of the cold incense whale had been obtained, several procedures were still needed to make it into spices, but he had already done the necessary preparations.
3 days later, when Liu Ming walked out of his secret room with a jade bottle in his hand. Although the bottle was tightly sealed, there was still a strange fragrance emitting from it.
He caressed the jade bottle fondly, and he put it away after a while. He showed a thoughtful look.
Now there were 3 supportive items of Cold Abyss Incense, luo suo fruit, and crimson flame pill, but only these were not enough to break through the bottleneck of Celestial State.
Liu Ming decided to collect 2 more supportive items before trying to break through to the Celestial State.
After making up his mind, he quickly walked out of the cave house and flew toward the Blue Wood Firm in the east of Luo City.
Rather than looking by himself, it would be faster to discuss it with Lan Si.
Not long after, he flew to Linhai Avenue where Blue Wood Firm was located.
“Huh?” There was a look of surprise in Liu Ming’s eyes. The once bustling street seemed to be much less populated now. Md many beastkin cultivators walking on the street had heavy complexions and hurried footsteps.
“Has something happened?” Liu Ming murmured to himself. When he returned to Luo City a few days ago, he hadn’t noticed this situation yet.
In the Blue Wood Firm, it was also quite abnormal at the moment. The guests were in a hurry. As soon as Liu Ming stepped into the firm, a deputy greeted him immediately.
He was already a frequent visitor of Blue Wood Firm. After explaining his purpose, he was quickly led into the inner hall and met Lan Si.
Lan Si also seemed quite worried, but when she saw Liu Ming coming in, she rushed up to meet him.
“Mr. Liu, long time no see. Why do you have time to come to my place today? Is there anything I can help?” Lan Si personally brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Liu Ming with a smile.
