Chapter 43: The Great Achievement of Kai Shadow
Inside the ruined city, the stone cave where Xu Qing was located, the ground was full of bird feathers, mixed with an unpleasantly foul odor.
The stones and debris that he had once used to block the gaps on the side had now been corroded badly by the foreign matter long ago.
The dust around him was also more than when he left.
Obviously even if the forbidden area was formed, there would be scavengers coming one after another to explore, but this shelter point of his was too hidden, so no one had arrived after he left.
And so the odor of dust and decay mixed together continuously entered Xu Qing's nostrils, but he didn't care.
At this moment, Xu Qing was sitting cross-legged, his body's Hai Shan Skill was in full operation, and after building up his momentum, he was making an all-out assault on the seventh layer.
As for the outside world, hissing sounds and eerie, mournful sounds, mixed with creepy crying, constantly echoed, which caused Xu Qing to go into a trance for a moment, creating an illusion.
It was as if, he had returned to a time half a year ago.
The self at that time, in the midst of the gods opening their eyes and the rain of blood descending, was struggling to survive alone in this city littered with skeletons.
Xu Qing was silent.
After a long time, his mind no longer surfaced past events, and his mind completely sank into his cultivation, and as his body's cultivation continued to run, the spiritual energy in the surroundings slowly converged, and surged in at a rapid pace along the sweaty pores of his entire body.
The sound of thumping also gradually echoed in his body, which became louder and louder, and at the back turned into a roar that reverberated in his mind.
Accompanying the roar was the black impurities secreted from his sweat pores all over his body, which were becoming more and more dense.
And along with the secretion, Xu Qing's body underneath his clothes also erupted with astonishing strength within his flesh and blood at this instant.
His blood vessels all bulged, his flesh and blood compressed as it continued to tear and form, and his bones similarly made noises.
Until an hour later, as a sound like heavenly thunder exploded in his mind, Xu Qing's eyes snapped open, purple light erupting from within his pupils.
Behind him was even in this instant, the kui shadow once again materialized.
But this time ...... his kui shadow and the past, very different!
The whole body is more black, the body is more thick, and even the top of the head is no longer a unicorn, but appeared like a cow like double horns, and the shape of the spiral, hidden in the tip of the black lightning dazzle.
Face is extremely hideous, blood mouth open, seems to be able to swallow ghosts.
Especially sharp claws, with purple pupils, exudes a frightening ferocity.
Strong fluctuations, but also from this Kui shadow spread out, as if it can penetrate the stone cave, shocking the four directions.
Kui Shadow, great completion!
This was a change that could only occur when the Hai Shan Skill was at its great completion, if it was anyone else, cultivating to this extent, it would already be the great completion of body refining in the Qi Condensation Realm, unable to be elevated any further, and now here in Xu Qing, it was only the seventh layer.
As for his body, at this moment, the same changes were also extremely great, his body was obviously more slender and more refined, and the purple light in his eyes lasted longer than before.
Especially his face ......
If he was already incomparably clear when he was at the sixth level of the Hai Shan Skill, then Xu Qing at this moment, under the purple intent of his eyes, even though his face was full of dirt, he seemed to be not far from being demonic.
But Xu Qing didn't care about this, what he cared about was the power bursting out of his body at this moment.
So soon he lowered his head and looked at the veins bulging on his slowly clenched fists, as well as the veins bulging on his arms.
The purple light in his eyes slowly dissipated, he has incomparably clear feel his power ......
was more than twice as much as before!
"The power of a kui?" Xu Qing muttered as he looked around.
It was pitch black outside, and inside the stone cave, there was no light, although Xu Qing could barely see everything at the moment, he couldn't see the shadows.
But in his perception, he could feel the presence of the shadow, so after pondering, he tried to maneuver.
After burning incense, Xu Qing's eyes revealed a touch of exhilaration and wonder.
In his perception, his manipulation of the shadow was much better than before, and he was even able to manipulate it in a subtle way, allowing the foreign substance contained within the shadow to return to a portion of his body.
Although doing so was not the slightest bit useful, it could indirectly prove that his control over the shadow was more flexible.
All of this made Xu Qing feel that with his current battle power, if he were to encounter the camp lord again, he wouldn't even need the Divine Image Heavenly Blade, and would only need a fist ...... to beat the camp lord at the eighth level of the Body Refinement Body, and break his arm.
"But unfortunately, facing the Vajra Sect Ancestor, the gap is still too great."
Xu Qing shook his head, although he hadn't really fought with the other party, this escape all the way as well as the fist shadows from the Vajra Sect's old ancestor made the gap very clear to him.
So even though the shadow had taken him by surprise, Xu Qing was still very clear that it was impossible for his current self to have the power to engage in battle with a Foundation Establishment.
"However, if I encounter those two Qi Condensation Ninth Layer, I'll be able to kill them."
A cold aura flashed in Xu Qing's eyes as he followed the gaping exit of the stone cave and looked outside.
The hissing and bizarre sounds in his ears came one after another, far and near, forming a conspicuous contrast with the silence within the stone cave.
This scene, so that Xu Qing once again had that feeling as if he had returned to half a year ago, he instinctively took out the iron sign, slowly held in the middle, his heart pondered what to do and where to go.
If he left at this moment, he felt that the probability was that he would be able to reach Deerhorn City without any problems.
But ...... Xu Qing was a bit unwilling, and the killing opportunity flashed in his eyes.
"Without getting those people killed, this hidden danger is very disturbing." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes as a map of the entire city appeared in his mind.
He was very familiar with this city.
At this moment, as a street surfaced, both the locations where the foreign beasts slept and the sheltering points of the birds of prey were clearly revealed in his mind, and he began to analyze it.
"City Lord's Mansion!" After a long time, Xu Qing muttered a low voice, a cold aura intensifying in his eyes.
He was prepared to try and leave the city first, and if he didn't encounter the Vajra Sect's people on the way, it would be fine, and once he did, he would counterattack himself according to the established method.
After sensing the hissing sounds from outside, from near to far, Xu Qing looked resolute, moving away the debris blocking the entrance and slowly drilling out.
The entrance to this crack was narrow, Xu Qing's body had grown a bit now, and it was a bit of a struggle to get out, but he looked as normal, and after squeezing out alive, even though his body was scratched, this injury, would soon heal.
After drilling out, Xu Qing's inner vigilance, looking at the pitch blackness around him, his body swayed and directly rushed out, within this ruined city, carefully moving forward.
This caution was even beyond his state in the depths of the forbidden jungle.
Truly, compared to there, there were more foreign beasts and strangeness in the city pool at night.
Fortunately, Xu Qing understood the structure of the city, so although he had encountered dangers along the way, he was able to avoid most of them with his speed and familiarity.
If he really couldn't avoid it, he would quickly and thunderously resolve it and go far away again.
In this way, under the rich heterogeneous quality, Xu Qing carefully walked forward in this city for more than an hour, and when he was about to approach the edge, he suddenly heard a distant roaring sound.
It was a sound that made Xu Qing's eyes glaze over.
In the darkness of the night, his eyes like those of a lone wolf sharpened at this moment as he approached the place where the sound came from, and an incense stick later, he saw two figures being chased by seven or eight foreign beasts.
These two were none other than the elders of the Vajra Sect.
They had arrived at the city some time after Xu Qing and the old ancestor had entered the city.
It was already late at night when they arrived, so with hesitation and weighing their options, they did not choose to enter the depths, but instead hid and waited at the edge of the location.
It was just that there were too many strange beasts and bizarre in the city, and the place where they hid was not a relatively safe shelter that the birds had sought out, so it was inevitable that they would encounter them.
Since they didn't want to cause too much fluctuation and attract more foreign beasts, the two of them avoided them when they could, and they would only strike when they really couldn't avoid them.
Their cautious behavior, coupled with not bad strength, so that now even if they encountered an attack, it is still enough to deal with.
At this moment, they were about to get rid of the beast behind them, but at this moment, a cold aura came from the distance in a flash.
The speed was as fast as an arrow in the darkness of the night, whistling straight at the Vajra Sect Elder in front of them.
This person was not the one who had fought with Xu Qing before, but the later one who had followed the Vajra Sect Elder.
His face immediately changed, his hands pinched and pushed forward, and instantly there was a roaring spread of cold ice all around him, and he himself even had a protective solidification to block the incoming cold aura.
However, this cold aura was incredibly powerful, instantly penetrating through the ice, directly piercing on his protection.
Between the strong tremor of the spiritual energy fluctuation, his protection appeared to shatter, but it was still blocked, and also made him see clearly that what attacked him was a black iron stick!
This scene made this Vajra Sect Elder's eyes contract, violently sidestepping his head to look at his companions behind him, just about to make a move, but it was still too late.
The instant he was attacked here, a black shadow had already transformed into a black lightning bolt from the alleyway next to him, approaching the other elder behind this person in a flash.
This black shadow was Xu Qing.
The previous iron signature was a cover, and the target Xu Qing really wanted to tackle first was that middle-aged man who had once fought with him and had his left foot shattered!
Xu Qing's speed was in full swing at this moment, much faster than when he was at the sixth level of the Hai Shan Skill before, and he set off sharp wind noises as he sped along, arriving beside the injured middle-aged cultivator in a matter of moments.
This middle-aged cultivator was injured, and the forbidden area was so dense with foreign matter that he couldn't sustainably use a flight talisman to ascend into the air, so he was slightly staggering in his steps compared to his companions.
Faced with danger at the moment, his eyes widened, a strong life and death crisis rising within him, his body violently retreated and was about to dodge, but Xu Qing could not give him a chance, the moment he approached his body instantly leapt up, his right hand clenched his fist, and made a fierce punch towards him.
Whether it was the speed or power of this punch, Xu Qing had used his full strength.
At this moment, directly behind him, a hideous Kui shadow manifested itself, emitting a silent hiss that shook the eight directions, converging in Xu Qing's fist.
Let this fist in the swing out of the moment, the air seems to burst open, gusts of clicks under the sound, as if it contains the power of suppression, in the Kuai shadow of the hideous, landed in the middle-aged cultivator in front of the chest.
The protection in front of this middle-aged cultivator shattered instantly, and Xu Qing's fist, as powerful as a bamboo, directly bombarded his chest.
A huge sound shocked the heavens, suddenly reverberating within this silent city.
Accompanied by a mournful scream, that middle-aged cultivator whose left foot shattered, blood sprayed wildly, his chest deeply sunken, his internal organs collapsing and shattering at this moment, his figure reeling uncontrollably like a kite with broken strings.
But after all, he is nine layers of Qi condensation, at this moment, the look of panic and strong pressure injuries, the right leg of the flight runes violently flashed, the power of flight diffusion, so that his falling body twisted, will be lifted into the air to escape.
But the next instant, the cold aura reappeared, a long sword whistling, the moment close, directly from his right leg cut through.
Blood erupted, miserable screams echoed in all directions, his right leg attached to the flight talisman and the body instantly disconnected.
Without waiting for the person who had lost his right leg to fall, Xu Qing's thighs powered up to charge out again, and in the instant he charged out, the ground he was on was pierced by a large number of ice blades formed by another person's spell.
While staggering past each other, Xu Qing didn't even look behind him, directly catching up with the falling middle-aged cultivator in mid-air, and in the midst of his despair, his right hand blasted a fist.
The kui shadow roared and merged into his fist, lashing out hideously towards the middle-aged cultivator.
It directly blasted at this person's forehead.
With a bang, this middle-aged cultivator's body trembled wildly, his head exploded violently, blood splattered everywhere, and he died in pieces!
The body fell towards the ground, and was pounced upon by those pursuing beasts, splitting the body and tearing it apart.
Without the slightest pause, Xu Qing tore off the flight talisman on the broken leg on the ground, and turned to look at the other Vajra Sect Elder, who was pale and horrified at the moment, not far away.
After licking his lips, Xu Qing's wolf-like eyes flashed with a cold aura as he dashed towards the elder.
Kill!
