Chapter 295 - 295 So It"s You!
295 So It’s You!
Not far from the Seven Blood Eyes and near the edge of the Forbidden Sea, a teleportation array that was originally abandoned started shining. A wisp of fog appeared on it and quickly condensed into a fog body.
After walking out of the teleportation array, it immediately destroyed the array formation. Only then did it heave a sigh of relief and started laughing.
“In the end, your grandfather still managed to escape!” As the fog body condensed, it slowly transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man. At this moment, his expression was filled with unprecedented smugness.
Around the end, it could be said that he had let himself be caught by Xu Qing. He wanted to make use of the teleportation array and use the secret art given by his employer to escape.
Everything went smoothly.
“I didn’t waste much time either. The next step is to trade with the employer. I’ve completely memorized the second volume of the Lunar Chosen Transformation Pill. Only I know of it now. If they don’t give me the item they promised me, they can forget about obtaining the formula.”
The middle-aged man sneered and quickly left.
Under the moonlight, his body sped through the wilderness, but he didn’t notice that an eye had opened in his shadow.
Even though he was a bizarre ent.i.ty, he still had a shadow. As long as there was a shadow, there would be Xu Qing’s shadow.
Xu Qing had let him go on purpose.
As for the other party wanting to see Lord Sixth, Xu Qing didn’t believe it. Since the other party didn’t say anything even after so much torture and deaths, Xu Qing might as well let him think that it was safe. Only then would the bizarre fiend lead him to the mastermind!
As for the range of the shadow eye, Xu Qing had already checked it when he was searching for the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts. It had an extremely large range, and currently, it was still within his perception. Although the vision was somewhat blurry because of the distance, it was not a big issue.
Moreover, just knowing the location was enough.
Xu Qing opened his eyes and adjusted the array formation, activating the teleportation array in the direction of his perception. As for the other teleportation array being destroyed, it didn’t matter. After knowing the location, he could simply use other teleportation arrays nearby.
At the next instant, Xu Qing’s figure disappeared.
At that moment, the middle-aged man formed by fog was moving extremely fast in the coastal area of the Nanhuang Continent. He took advantage of the darkness and sped all the way. During this time, he would look around frequently and even spread out his perception to investigate the surroundings.
Even though he had repeatedly confirmed that no one was following him, he was still very cautious. However, the strangeness of the shadow was something he didn’t understand, so he didn’t know that there was an eye in his shadow.
However, this bizarre fiend cultivator was still vigilant. He didn’t head to the meeting place immediately. Instead, he moved randomly for an entire night before he arrived at a seaside and looked at a merchant ship that was docked in the distance.
“Come over. I’ve already got what you want.”
He then waited silently while observing his surroundings. However, he wasn’t able to see the eye in the shadow that was slightly open and was watching him.
Nothing happened even after a long while. The bizarre fiend cultivator turned and changed directions. Everything that had happened earlier was intentional. He was making sure that n.o.body followed him and that he was really safe.
He finally felt at ease and a hint of smugness appeared on his face again. In the darkness of dawn, he moved in another direction and reached the seaside. He didn’t hesitate to jump in.
At the next instant, the body of a swordfish swimming in the sea suddenly trembled before speeding away in another direction. However… the shadow’s eye had parasitized the main body of the bizarre fiend. Hence, even though the other party had a new body now, the shadow eye still existed.
The strange abilities of the bizarre ent.i.ties depended on their levels. The strangeness of the shadow clearly far surpa.s.sed that of the bizarre fiend. It could even be said to be a natural enemy. At the same time, the shadow also had some slight emotional fluctuations.
It seemed to have discovered that it was more compatible with the Bizarre Fiend Race. If the one it parasitized back then wasn’t Xu Qing but a bizarre fiend… At the thought of this, the shadow suddenly interrupted its thoughts and a hint of disgust surfaced.
It felt that the bizarre fiend Race wasn’t worthy of being compared to it, let alone Demon Xu. The bizarre fiend Race was only its food. Why would it have the thought of parasitizing food?
The shadow felt humiliated by its own thoughts. At the same time, it felt a little frightened as it recalled its experience of being tortured by Demon Xu.
Hence, it perked up and observed even more diligently while providing directions to Xu Qing.
The cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race had no idea about all of this.
Just like that, time flowed by. The swordfish he was hosting swam rapidly in the sea and traveled everywhere. During this time, he changed to seven to eight sea beasts. Finally, on the next night, he appeared in a starfish.
As the waves rose and fell, this starfish was swept to a black beach that could be considered the territory of the Seven Blood Eyes.
The seawater dissipated, leaving behind black water foam on the ground. The bright moon hung in the sky and the moonlight landed on the water foam, emitting a faint light.
The starfish that was possessed by the bizarre fiend lay motionless on the beach.
Time slowly pa.s.sed and dawn arrived. The dawn of a new day… carried a dim black color. The moment the moon left and the sun had yet to rise, something silently approached.
In the darkness of dawn, figures walked over from the darkness in the distance.
There were a total of four figures.
They were all wearing black Daoist robes that covered their entire bodies and heads, making it impossible to see their appearances. The wide Daoist robes also hid their races and gender.
There were also no cultivation base fluctuations from these four figures. Clearly, they had concealed themselves extremely deeply, and there was even a faint hazy feeling around their bodies.
This was a method to block the senses of the array formation and prevent divine sense from locking onto them. It didn’t seem to be the power of a magic artifact, and was more like a race’ innate talent.
These four figures walked toward the beach step by step.
They slowly arrived beside the starfish and stopped.
The figure at the front didn’t move. The three people behind him quickly spread out and each took out a circular disc and placed it on the ground, as though they were checking something.
In just a few breaths of time, the check was over. The three of them turned around and stood respectfully.
The sea breeze blew over and spread in all directions, bringing with it the fishy smell of the seawater. When it invaded the coast, the wind also landed on the robe of the figure standing beside the starfish, causing it to flutter.
It also slightly lifted the hood that covered the figure’s head, revealing… a strand of blue hair!
As this hair fluttered, the figure lowered their head and a crisp voice came out.
“You’re late.”
As her voice , the starfish on the ground responded with a low voice.
“I was almost killed in Purple Earth. You didn’t tell me that I would encounter such a pervert. That guy is much more bizarre than me!”
“This matter has also exceeded our expectations, but we will compensate you properly. Now, give me the thing.” As the voice rang out, the wind grew stronger, completely blowing away the corner of the hood that was already slightly lifted, revealing a beautiful and delicate face.
Her long blue hair fluttered in the wind, her blue eyes were resplendent, and her fair skin carried a gentle light like jade. She was none other than… the princess of the Starfish Race who had come to visit the Seven Blood Eyes!
Back then, this princess had given Xu Qing a conch when she first saw him at Port 176. After that, during the period of the Seven Blood Eyes, she visited Xu Qing many times to talk. Back then, there didn’t seem to be any scheming in her innocent eyes. There was only admiration for Xu Qing in her gaze.
She had asked many questions in her conversation with Xu Qing and if one were to combine her questions, they would definitely be able to tell that… what was hidden in those questions was a probe toward Xu Qing’s personality and habits.
When one grasped a person’s habits and personality, they could target this person and make some traps. Clearly, she had long had her eyes on Xu Qing and was preparing for the future.
“Heh, there’s no hurry. You’ve secretly captured so many heaven’s chosen of the various races over the years. There should be quite a lot of them from the Seven Blood Eyes as well. Now, you should already have a lot of main ingredients. You have to change the remuneration you promised me. I also want a Lunar Chosen Transformation Pill!”
The girl took a deep look at the starfish on the ground. At this moment, another black-robed person from the Starfish Race suddenly spoke in a low voice.
“Princess, it’s about time. If we delay any more, the power of the elders will be more limited and we won’t be able to hide from the array formation.”
“We can only give you the reward once we return to our territory. Since you’re worried, just come with me.” The girl didn’t hesitate. After she finished speaking, she was about to pick up the starfish on the ground.
However, at this moment…
A cold and murderous voice echoed in all directions.
“So it’s you!”
As soon as this voice appeared, the starfish on the ground trembled. Without any hesitation, it self-destructed and chose to commit suicide.
At the same time, the expression of the Starfish Race’s young girl changed and she quickly retreated. The other three Starfish Race cultivators in the surroundings also shook and their cultivation bases spread out, protecting the young girl as she retreated.
However, it was still too late. At the next instant, a figure whistled over from afar like thunder. This figure no longer hid its appearance and no longer looked like a middle-aged man. Instead, it transformed into Xu Qing.
It was as though there was a continent burning in his body as its fire towered into the sky. The pitch-black dawn broke and under the illumination of the sea of fire in Xu Qing’s body, the whole area instantly lit up.
The killing intent in his eyes was even more monstrous.
The gigantic mosasaur under his feet also appeared with malevolence and hatred. That was a continuation of Xu Qing’s emotions. Behind him, the huge Golden Crow cried toward the sky and black tail flames spread in all directions, as though a G.o.d had descended.
At this moment, Xu Qing no longer held back. The killing intent he had suppressed until now erupted completely!
With his shocking aura, he headed straight for the four people from the Starfish Race.
“Xu Qing!!” The eyes of the Starfish Race’s princess narrowed and her expression changed. It was too late for her to retreat. Xu Qing instantly approached and sent a palm strike.
The world rumbled and the surroundings trembled as the ground directly exploded.
A huge pit was formed inside, stirring up a violent aura, causing the four Starfish cultivators to vomit blood.
Someone blocked in front and endured Xu Qing’s anger. His body collapsed and shattered into pieces and they were absorbed by the Golden Crow.
His soul was also captured by Xu Qing and suppressed in his magic aperture. He didn’t use it as a fuel to open magic apertures, but burned it in his aperture.
The hearts of the other three shook and their expressions changed drastically.
The three of them didn’t hesitate at all. The cultivation bases in their bodies instantly erupted. One was three fires, two were two fires!
That princess had three fires, while the two clansmen beside her had two fires.
However, their cultivation bases were completely useless at this moment. In fact, the life fires in their bodies were swaying intensely. The incomparable killing intent from Xu Qing was like a storm of endless anger as it surged toward them.
