426 Under the Nine Springs
Xu Qing saw Saintly Star.
Saintly Star also saw Xu Qing.
Almost as soon as Xu Qing charged out, Saintly Star retreated.
He was extremely fast and his speed was faster than before. As the power of a Golden Core erupted, the Golden Crow in his right eye manifested and let out a cry.
!!
The Golden Crow’s body was bound by countless illusory runes that were linked to Saintly Star’s right eye.
This method was so profound that it actually allowed Saintly Star to indirectly grasp the emperor-level cultivation art, Golden Crow Refines All Life. With the support of the Golden Crow, his speed was extremely fast.
However, Xu Qing’s speed was even more astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he charged into the Minor Affairs Sect and headed straight for Saintly Star.
However, even as the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes charged toward the Minor Affairs Sect, the Falling Moon Canyon suddenly began to rumble, and countless fissures opened up in the ground. Flames erupted from within, and a huge hand reached out toward the Minor Affairs Sect.
The hand was 1,000-foot long and made of rocks. It was covered with fire runes, as if magma was its blood.
Booming sounds shook the sky, and the canyon collapsed. Countless rocks shot out.
As soon as the hand reached out, it pressed down onto the ground, causing the ground to tremble. A stone giant shot up from the ground, covered in shocking flames.
It was tens of thousands of feet tall, and as it roared, it emanated an aura that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm, causing intense fluctuations to spread out in all directions.
Shockingly, there was a black coffin buried in the giant’s chest.
And above the rock giant’s head, there were two more figures.
The two of them were dressed in long black robes and wore the god’s fragmented-face masks. However, they were not Night Dove and Crown Prince Purple Green. One of them was standing, and the other was sitting.
Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out from the two of them. The gazes revealed by the mask were cold.
“I can’t believe they found this place.”
“What Lord said before he left was right. We can’t underestimate any faction.”
“From the looks of it, the Eight Sects Alliance has sent people to the other three locations as well.”
Illuminate was an organization, so it was impossible for it to only have Crown Prince Purple Green and Night Dove.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe core members were all famous, but most of the members were outer members like Saintly Star.
Although they had joined Illuminate, they were not qualified to enter the core and wear masks.
Only those who had performed the blood performance and had at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm were qualified.
These two were clearly core members of Illuminate. The moment they appeared, Old Master Seventh’s gaze focused on them.
The Seven Blood Eyes’ first strategic goal in attacking the Minor Affairs Sect was to lure out the core members of Illuminate.
As soon as they appeared, Old Master Seventh took a step forward, moving toward the rock giant.
The giant stared at Old Master Seventh with madness in its eyes. The two figures above him also began to blur as they attacked at the same time.
However, in the next moment, the two of them slammed into each other. Rumbling sounds echoed out as the rock giant’s body shook violently, and its raised right hand collapsed.
It was forced back. The two black-robed men who had attacked with the giant looked even grimmer and backed up.
Old Master Seventh single-handedly forced the three Spirit Repositories to retreat.
As the ground and the canyon collapsed, the disciples of the Minor Affairs Sect escaped in all directions.
Although they were panicking, they did not encounter much danger. That was because the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples were targeting the outer members of Illuminate who were emitting black aura.
However, after what happened just now, the ground was in chaos. All Illuminate members fled at full speed.
Even as outer members of Illuminate, they had their own unique and ruthless aspects. Every one of them was extraordinary. At that moment, with these thousand members scattering in all directions, it was difficult for the Seven Blood Eyes to kill them all immediately.
However, the Taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes had sealed this place. Even if Illuminate members scattered, they would not be able to escape.
At the same time, in the other three locations of the Yinghuang Province, the attacks of the Mystic Nether Sect, the Bizarre Hunting Sect, and the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect were also being carried out at full strength. The locations they went to also had core members of Illuminate.
The battles in the four locations were intense, but all of this… was just fishing.
It all depended on whether Night Dove and his master would appear, and where they would appear!
This was not a conspiracy, but a blatant scheme!
The heavenly net had already been set up. At this moment, all the human forces in the Yinghuang Province were staring at these four points. The Grand Affairs Immortal Sect was also cooperating. Even the Litu Sect was participating and listening to the Sword Holding Court’s arrangements.
Everyone was waiting.
At the same time, they were also wary that Illuminate might create a diversion and appear in the territories of the various forces.
At this moment, Xu Qing’s killing began.
He wore a purple robe with patterns on it and had the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown on his head. His two life palaces transformed into canopies above him. As the rainbow light spread and the black flames were released, his Golden Core cultivation shook the surroundings.
Behind him, the Golden Crow let out a cry and transformed into an endless sea of flames.
He instantly appeared in front of one of Illuminate’s Golden Core cultivators and ignored his counterattack. Under the other party’s shocked expression, Xu Qing’s right hand turned illusory as he circulated the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art. He directly probed into the Heavenly Palace in this person’s sea of consciousness and grabbed the golden core. Under the other party’s shrill cry, he pulled it ruthlessly.
The golden core left the body and was crushed by Xu Qing. After fusing it into his body, he slammed back violently, colliding with a four fires nonhuman heaven’s chosen.
This heaven’s chosen might be quite famous in his clan, but he couldn’t withstand the impact from Xu Qing’s collision.
With a bang, his body was reduced to a bloody mess, and he collapsed beyond recognition.
Xu Qing didn’t even look at it and allowed the Golden Crow to devour him. He charged forward and formed a dagger with the soul fire. He quickly closed in on the other Golden Core cultivator. At the instant he closed in, the expression on the man’s face changed and he quickly retreated. In the distance, a Golden Core cultivator with two palaces rapidly closed in. Xu Qing immediately increased his speed.
His explosive speed surpassed his previous speed. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the man with one palace and ruthlessly cut his neck.
The head flew up!
In the next instant, the Golden Core old man with the two palaces closed in and attacked with all his might. However, the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown’s barrier spread around Xu Qing. At the same time, Xu Qing punched out!
The surroundings trembled and the two palaces Golden Core spat out a mouthful of blood. His cultivation base was on par with Xu Qing’s, but his physical body was inferior. When the Golden Crow rushed in, his expression changed drastically and he quickly retreated, but it was too late.
...
Xu Qing let out a sinister laugh as he grabbed the man. At this critical moment, the life-saving treasure in the two palaces formed a protective barrier. Xu Qing didn’t care at all and used his head to ruthlessly smash the barrier.
One hit, two hits, three hits!
The little black bugs brought along the power of the poison pill and surged into the old man’s surroundings, instantly corroding his protection. In the end, it collapsed, and Xu Qing’s head directly collided with the old man’s face.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. While the old man was screaming, Xu Qing’s right hand penetrated deep into the old man’s sea of consciousness and retrieved his golden core. He then sliced off the neck of the old man, who was already rotting away.
This wasn’t the end. Xu Qing continued to speed through the battlefield. Wherever he passed by, no matter what cultivation base he encountered, as long as they didn’t exceed three palaces, he would hunt them down.
He paved a path of blood. The dagger in his hand had already sliced through more than tens of necks. Heads rolled on the ground behind him, and the headless corpses were strewn everywhere.
Gradually, Xu Qing’s blood and qi overflowed into the sky and the murderous aura he was releasing was horrifying. With a single collision, he directly smashed a three fires Foundation Establishment cultivator’s body into a blood mist.
Xu Qing was like an Asura as he charged out of the blood mist. He didn’t stop at all as he charged towards the outer members of Illuminate who were blocking his path.
As for those Illuminate Golden Cores that surpassed the three Heavenly Palaces, Xu Qing avoided them. Naturally, the Seven Blood Eyes’ Dao Protectors took care of them. In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with endless bloodshed and chaos.
However, in Xu Qing’s eyes, his target was still clear even in the chaos. From the beginning to the end, his target was Saintly Star.
All his previous attacks had been done in passing. He crossed the battlefield and quickly approached Saintly Star, who he had locked onto.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm...
His killing intent was getting stronger and stronger.
Saintly Star’s expression changed. He was still retreating.
Seeing that Xu Qing was getting closer, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes. Behind him, the Golden Crow raised its head and let out a cry. As for the Golden Crow behind Xu Qing, it was in an even more majestic form. It also rose to the sky and swooped down.
In an instant, Xu Qing crossed the battlefield and was less than 2,000 feet away from Saintly Star.
A distance of 2,000 feet could be covered in the blink of an eye for a Golden Core cultivator.
His body turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of Saintly Star.
This speed caused a piercing sonic boom that caused the disciples on the battlefield to feel fear.
Saintly Star’s expression changed. He knew that there was no way he could dodge. At this moment, the Heavenly Palace behind him erupted with power as he performed a set of hand seals and attacked Xu Qing with all his might along with his Golden Crow.
Countless sword lights erupted from his body, forming a sea of swords that charged straight at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing disregarded all of this. With a punch, he broke through the boundless sea of swords and shattered countless flying swords. This punch directly smashed into Saintly Star’s chest.
The protective barrier around Saintly Star instantly appeared, blocking Xu Qing’s punch.
The killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes exploded. He thought of Lord Sixth’s death and the scenes in the rainy night. Although the person in front of him wasn’t Crown Prince Purple Green, the killing intent in Xu Qing’s heart was too thick. He wanted to vent, he wanted to explode.
Hence, Xu Qing’s eyes turned red as he punched again and again. The third punch, the fourth punch, the fifth punch…
Every punch was unleashed with all his might. Every punch was supported by his powerful physical body and cultivation base. There were even little black bugs that were rapidly invading Saintly Star.
Rumbling sounds filled the sky as Saintly Star’s body was continuously pushed back. Even though he had barrier, every punch from Xu Qing caused the barrier to twist and distort, forming a resonance power that made him feel very uncomfortable. Blood flowed out uncontrollably from his pores.
Xu Qing’s attack was like a storm, not stopping at all. With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Sabers manifested and slashed out ruthlessly. There was also the Nine-Layers Howling Sea. Seawater manifested and charged forward waves after waves, each wave more powerful than the last.
Saintly Star was horrified. In the end, Xu Qing threw his final punch. Under the corrosion of the little black bugs, Saintly Star’s defense finally showed signs of collapse.
Xu Qing’s punch suddenly landed.
The protective barrier vibrated violently and shattered into pieces with cracking sounds. Xu Qing’s punch smashed into Saintly Star’s chest.
This was the last punch of the Under the Nine Springs!
In the next instant, Saintly Star’s body shook violently. Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and he let out a miserable cry.
His 121st aperture collapsed!
The eighth illusory Heavenly Palace instantly collapsed!
