Chapter 935 The Consequences of Robbing Wealth and Beauty (2)
However, after taking a few steps, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing"s eyes. He sensed that there was poison in the surrounding wind at this moment.
This poison was deeply concealed, colorless and odorless, carried by the wind, and could silently affect someone without their awareness.
"The concoction is a bit crude, using blurring gra.s.s, hundred leaves withering, nine valor rocks… and also some corpse flowers. It"s a blended poison, requiring another poison to trigger its effects."
Xu Qing took a sniff but his expression didn"t change as he continued forward.
Almost fifteen minutes later, a whistling sound rang out from behind him. Xu Qing was expressionless as he turned his head.
The one-eyed cultivator had returned and was hundreds of feet away from Xu Qing. A strange look appeared in his eyes as he stared at Xu Qing and sized him up. He even sniffed.
"There"s something wrong with your body. You smell very good."
As he spoke, the one-eyed cultivator"s gaze locked onto Xu Qing"s neck. A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he lifted his hand and pointed.
"You have something there that looks delicious. Give it to me and I"ll tell you the answer you want."
Ling"er trembled.
The one-eyed cultivator"s gaze was fixed precisely on her location; there was no mistake.
Sensing Ling"er trembling, Xu Qing"s gaze turned cold. He noticed that when the other party lifted his finger, the poison in the surroundings instantly enveloped him, looking like it was about to erupt. Hence, he calmly looked at the one-eyed cultivator.
The one-eyed cultivator"s heart sank. The poison in the surroundings was spread by him. He had sensed the thing on the other party"s neck earlier and thought that it was a treasure.
However, the combat strength of the person in front of him made him a little wary, so he had secretly scattered poison.
Returning at this moment, he had sensed that the poison was almost ready to erupt and was prepared to unleash it in one go. However, now that he had clearly released the triggering substance for the poison, his opponent was acting as if nothing was wrong.
This scene made the one-eyed cultivator feel that something was wrong. Hence, he took a few steps back before calmly speaking.
"Judging by your expression, this item seems to be very important to you. Very well, I"ve never been one to steal someone"s cherished item. However, if you want the answers you seek, you"ll have to pay a price to make a trade."
Xu Qing nodded and took a step forward. The cultivation base in his body erupted. 13 second-tribulation nascent souls erupted with the combat strength of 30 nascent souls.
The strength of this power, even for those who had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage with six heavenly palaces and gone through five tribulations to reach great circle of perfection, was far beyond their abilities.
Its immense power directly stirred up terrifying storms in the vicinity, crushing everything in its path and sending shockwaves.
The one-eyed cultivator"s mind rumbled and his breathing hastened. His expression was one of horror as he cried out involuntarily.
"You, you, you!"
"What combat strength!!"
He could sense that Xu Qing was at the second tribulation and had more nascent souls than him. Although he was wary of Xu Qing, he wasn"t afraid to begin with.
However, the failure of the poison made him feel uneasy.
At this moment, Xu Qing erupted. That terrifying aura was like a sudden to him, causing his whole body to tremble. His eyes held an expression of disbelief and incredulity.
He even felt a little dizzy and was in disbelief. As a rogue cultivator, he had never seen such a terrifying second tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators in his life.
"This is an old monster. He"s definitely not at the second tribulation. He"s just fishing!!"
The one-eyed cultivator"s heart trembled as he retreated crazily. At that moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to survive. Hence, as he sped back, he waved his hand and a large number of spells formed, transforming into brown worms.
These worms had wings on their bodies and there were tens of thousands of them. As they rushed out from all directions, they each spat out threads, forming layers of large nets that enveloped Xu Qing.
There were also magic artifacts rushing out one after another. Some of them formed a protective barrier that spread throughout the one-eyed cultivator"s body, some were flying swords, some were vases, and there were even spears.
There were all kinds of them and there were a lot of them. Clearly, they came from many people. At this moment, they were used together. Although their might was ordinary alone, with so many of them combined, they still had some might.
At the same time, a large number of pill bottles were thrown out and exploded one by one. They emitted dense poison powder that corroded everything and blocked Xu Qing.
As this person stepped forward, a vortex appeared on the mountain rocks on the ground and turned into silt. Brown vines rose and coiled toward Xu Qing.
He used all kinds of methods in an instant.
However, it was still not enough.
In that instant, Xu Qing was like a shocking ferocious beast that brought with him an endless storm. The s.p.a.ce seemed to explode as he rushed forward.
Before the vines under his feet could get close to Xu Qing, they trembled and shattered on their own. Under the terrifying fluctuations from Xu Qing"s entire body, they couldn"t exist at all.
As for the large nets spat out by those worms, it was the same. Under Xu Qing"s aura that formed the shadow of the Golden Crow, they were all burned.
The flames followed the threads and reached all the worms.
Those brown worms let out mournful cries and all of them collapsed, turning into a rain of fire that scattered onto the ground. Even the one-eyed cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood with an extremely horrified expression.
"Senior, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
As he rapidly retreated, he wailed. The churning in his heart had long transformed into tempestuous waves that drowned his mind.
He never dreamed that he would encounter such a terrifying old monster on his first trip.
Moreover, the other party was clearly so strong but he was so polite earlier, creating an illusion for him. The most overboard thing was the concealment of his cultivation. This made him feel despair.
As he wailed, the seven to eight magic artifacts he took out also shattered. As for the poison powder…
To Xu Qing, the other party"s level of poison concoction was too low.
In terms of the usage and understanding of poison, the two of them were just like a disciple and an old master.
