Chapter 1232: A Sheep That Is Like a Demon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Baize Race didn’t hold much prestige among the subsidiary races of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven. It was even harder to compare to the Si’e Race.
There were too many races like Baize in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven.
“Generally speaking, races like the Baize have one thing in common. They try their best to show their cruelty to other races, but they will grovel to the Flame Moon Race and higher-level subsidiary races. They have no bottom line.”
The captain’s voice echoed in all directions amidst the sharpness of the world.
“Therefore, since they don’t dare to rob the partic.i.p.ants from the other races, they naturally thought that you were a fat sheep when they saw you.”
As the captain chatted and laughed, a blue light erupted. A chill that seemed to be able to freeze the void instantly enveloped the surroundings for 500 kilometers.
Within 500 kilometers, it was as though winter had descended. The mountain peaks on the ground instantly turned into icebergs, and the vegetation turned into ice sculptures. Even the clouds in the sky gained weight and fell to the ground.
Not to mention the Baize cultivator in the middle.
“However, there’s a type of beast in the forbidden region that looks like a sheep but the locals call them demons.”
The captain raised his hand and pressed down on the Baize cultivator.
The expressions of the first stage Nihility cultivator and the Perfected Spirit Repository cultivator beside him changed. The former was fine, as his first stage Nihility cultivation allowed him to have his own Dao regarding rules and laws.
Hence, threads surrounded his body, forming a furnace that suddenly erupted.
However, the perfected Spirit Repository beside him was clearly weaker. No matter how the five secret repositories rose, they couldn’t shake the ice. Under the heavenly transformation, his body fell uncontrollably with the clouds.
This scene caused the two of them to feel their hearts skip a beat. At the same time, the expression of the vendor instantly changed and he retreated abruptly.
He felt a life-and-death crisis and also saw the sudden drastic change in the situation. The difference between this and what he had thought before was too great.
However, at this moment, he didn’t have the time to think too much. He fully released his cultivation at the Perfected Spirit Repository and the five secret repositories erupted with monstrous flames. In fact, in this critical moment, he instinctively burned his life force.
Using the huge strength boost, he instantly left.
However, it was too late.
Almost at the instant the Baize vendor rushed out, Xu Qing’s figure appeared behind him. No matter how fast this Baize cultivator was, it was useless.
He couldn’t shake Xu Qing off at all.
Xu Qing, who was behind him, wore a Daoist robe and his long hair fluttered in the wind. His right hand that was raised was as white as jade, devoid of any worldly affairs.
However, the black dagger wrapped in the shroud in his hand emitted an extremely dense aura of death.
This aura invaded the surroundings, causing the mind of the Baize cultivator to rumble. The intent of death transformed into a tide that drowned him. He wanted to dodge but his body seemed to have lost the ability to move.
He wanted to resist, but the deterrence from the human cultivator behind him transformed into suppression. His five secret repositories were collapsing.
He wanted to stimulate his five Heavenly Dao, but they were trembling.
His cultivation base was crushed, the Heavenly Dao were crushed, and his aura was crushed. Everything was crushed.
Hence, his heart was filled with horror. In the next breath, Xu Qing’s hand pa.s.sed through his neck.
Just like when he was young…
He ruthlessly cut.
Blood gushed out, but there were no screams. Only the sound of breathing could be heard as the corpse… was separated.
As it fell to the ground, soul threads shot out from Xu Qing’s body and instantly caught up. They entered the corpse, trying to devour the soul.
Very soon, the corpse withered. The souls contained in it were crazily absorbed by Xu Qing’s soul threads and transformed into more soul threads before flying out.
As for the corpse, it turned into ashes.
At the same time, on another battlefield, the captain laughed sinisterly as his body exploded with a bang, transforming into countless blue lights. In each blue light, there was a blue worm that enveloped the first stage Nihility Baize cultivator from all directions.
No matter how this person struggled or counterattacked, it was useless. In the blink of an eye, Baize Nihility was surrounded by countless blue worms and turned into a huge blue meatbail.
Upon closer inspection, this meatbail was formed by worms. At the same time, the sound of chewing and heart-rending wails rang out from the meatbail.
Xu Qing swept his gaze over and could tell that the captain’s combat strength was a little stronger than when he faced the Flame Moon cultivator previously. Clearly, on the way here, the captain’s strong-willedness had allowed him to secretly gain quite a lot.
Xu Qing smiled. He then lifted his right hand and caught the soul threads that had returned after devouring the vendor.
As those soul threads fused into it, the wails in the meatball that the captain had transformed into disappeared. As it squirmed, the captain’s figure condensed and looked at Xu Qing.
“Little Qing, the Baize Race is still so delicious. Also, 1 learned two interesting pieces of information from the other party’s memories.”
“The first piece of information is that the person you chose is a heaven’s chosen in the Baize and is extremely good at hiding. As for the one 1 killed, it looks like he is stronger but in reality, he has just stepped into Nihility and hasn’t formed many Daos. In his memory, the two of them had fought before and he was the one who was defeated by a sneak attack.”
“This is the most useless one.”
As the captain spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed. Immediately, the last Baize cultivator who had fallen to the ground from the ice instantly lost consciousness and landed in his hand.
Xu Qing nodded.
He had already sensed that the number of soul threads that had returned was a little wrong. A portion was missing.
Coupled with the captain’s words, it was obvious that the Baize vendor had other life-saving methods. He looked like he was dead but in reality, he was pretending to be dead and hiding.
The surroundings were empty and there were no fluctuations at all. If it was anyone else, they might not be able to find it instantly. However, to Xu Qing, this wasn’t difficult.
His eyes instantly turned pitch-black and the Poison Restriction spread out, rapidly spreading in all directions. Wherever it pa.s.sed, the world would be poisoned.
The captain glared.
‘He’s releasing poison again. I can’t waste the one in my hand. It’s a very good ingredient.;
The captain performed a series of hand seals and pointed. As blue light shone from his body, the body of the last Baize cultivator changed rapidly. In the end, it actually transformed into over a hundred green apples.
He put them away and transformed into blue light that fused into the void.
Just like that, as Xu Qing’s Poison Restriction spread, the void in the distance distorted and a fist-sized white eye had no choice but to be revealed.
It revealed horror and determination.
Previously, he was too close and didn’t dare to teleport for fear of being interrupted. He originally planned to hide and wait for Xu Qing and the captain to leave. At the same time, he moved quietly, just in case.
However, he still didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly. Hence, he didn’t hesitate to activate teleportation. As the fluctuations spread out, the eyeball instantly blurred again, wanting to teleport away.
Xu Qing’s gaze was calm. He lifted his right hand and waved it. The soul threads in his body spread out and rapidly arranged themselves in front of him, forming a huge sundial in the blink of an eye.
As the gnomon needle moved, the law of time descended on the world.
Xu Qing looked at the place where the eyeball had teleported. Time reversed and the fog flowed back. The teleportation fluctuations spread out and became restrained. The blurry eyeball inside also became clearer.
The horror on it was the same.
At the next instant, the power of the sundial dissipated and the eyeball contracted in shock. It wanted to teleport again and hide but it was already impossible. Xu Qing had already appeared in front of it.
He raised his right hand and casually slapped it.
It turned red and emitted a soul sound but it was useless. Under absolute strength, its resistance was meaningless.
With a bang, the eyeball collapsed.
The sundial transformed into soul threads and instantly entered it. When it returned, it brought with it even more soul threads that fused into Xu Qing’s body.
From afar, the countless scarlet soul threads outside Xu Qing’s body squirmed. The fluttering they formed caused Xu Qing to look like a demon.
The captain appeared at the side and looked at Xu Qing with a smile. At the same time, he picked up a green apple and took a bite.
“Little Qing, your current appearance doesn’t look like a good person.”
Xu Qing glanced at the apple in the captain’s hand but didn’t speak.
The captain raised his hand and threw one over.
Xu Qing took it and took a bite. It was very sweet.
To him, from a young age, he had basically eaten everything other than the flesh of his fellow clansmen.
Seeing that Xu Qing was willing to eat it, the captain became happy. He put his arm around Xu Qing’s shoulder and spoke in a low voice.
“There’s another piece of news.”
“A dignitary of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race is willing to open the forbidden zones in his territory to all cultivators partic.i.p.ating in the Grand Hunt.”
“Among the five forbidden zones in this dignitary’s territory, one of them has more than 20 forbidden mountains.”
“According to the information I just received, we should be able to make it if we set off quickly.”
“Since you have the qualifications to hunt, let’s screw them up this time. This way, we can enter the Divine Realm with a more reasonable ident.i.ty and complete my major plan. Also… we might even be able to become Mystic Heaven Generals!”
“Little Qing, Eldest Senior Brother will do his best to help you!”
The captain patted his chest, his eyes shining.
“Remember, if we succeed in the end and you really become a Mystic Heaven General, lend me your uniform for a few years.”
Xu Qing nodded when he heard this. He then lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the forbidden mountain that belonged to the Baize vendor flew over and landed on his head.
The two forbidden mountains surrounded each other with red lightning intertwining between them like threads.
From time to time, lightning would come into contact, forming sparks that illuminated the surroundings. They could be seen from afar.
“Eldest Senior Brother, how many forbidden mountains do you think it will take to become first?”
Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the two mountains above his head as he suddenly spoke.
“You should need a hundred at least, right?”
The captain casually said.
“Then 100.”
A cold glint rose in Xu Qing’s eyes. With a sway of his body, he whistled into the distance. The captain blinked and smiled as he followed. Very soon, the two of them disappeared from the sky.
They headed toward the forbidden zones that the dignitary of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven had opened to celebrate the Grand Hunt..
