Chapter 217: Tragic
Although the youth from the First Peak was fast, this was the sea. No matter how fast he was, he had to rely on himself, especially since the bronze sword had been destroyed by Xu Qing.
As for Xu Qing, he was moving on his magic ship. Not only did he not consume his energy, but he could also recover during the pursuit. In this way, the outcome of this chase could naturally be imagined.
In reality, this was the strength of the Seventh Peak’s boat cultivators.
As a boat cultivator, after reaching the Foundation Building realm, not only were they powerful on the shore, but they could also last a long time in sea battles. In just two hours, Xu Qing’s magic ship caught up with the anxious youth.
When it came to killing, Xu Qing wouldn’t be stingy with the divinity of the magic ship. The instant he got close, the divinity attack erupted explosively.
The First Peak’s youth let out a blood-curdling scream. He quickly performed a series of hand seals and took out a large number of talismans to block the attack. Only then did he avoid death with some injuries. He didn’t even turn his head as he continued to flee.
Xu Qing let out a cold snort and continued to pursue.
Very soon, night fell.
When the sun set, and the sky and sea seemed to turn into one color, Xu Qing’s magic ship caught up again. This time, he didn’t use divinity but leaped up fiercely the moment he caught up.
With a wave of his hand, the sea roared and the plesiosaur suddenly rushed out to stop the First Peak’s youth. At the same time, Xu Qing also strode toward the other party.
He also threw out the black iron stick which circled the surroundings, searching for an opportunity.
At this moment, the excitement of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor had already reached the peak of his life.
“Master, Master, we must get rid of this guy!”
“According to my countless experiences reading ancient books, this kid isn’t a simple person. I can tell from his clothes that he’s from the First Peak of your Seven Blood Eyes. Moreover, he’s already so strong even though he’s at the Foundation Building realm and hasn’t formed his life fire. Generally speaking, such a person is the main character in the books. His identity shouldn’t be simple either, he might even be a highness.”
“Master Have you noticed? This fellow never speaks properly. In the books, people with such characteristics are very difficult to kill!”
“However, compared to Master, he’s a fake dragon, only Master is a true dragon. In the ancient books I read, although such a person is filled with luck, Master will be able to obtain his luck after he’s killed. We can’t let him off!”
“Also, this person is too pretentious. His words are rubbish. If we beat him until he speaks human language, it will be so satisfying!”
As the Diamond Sect’s ancestor spoke excitedly, he controlled the black iron stick to rapidly approach. At the same time, he was cheering in his mind.
‘You’re dead meat. I’m the only one who can survive this Demon Xu’s pursuit. There won’t be a second one!’
The black iron stick controlled by the Diamond Sect’s ancestor was extremely fast. The instant it got close, Xu Qing also stepped over. He raised his right hand and pressed down fiercely. Immediately, the heavenly saber appeared and ruthlessly descended.
The First Peak youth wailed inwardly and immediately took out more than ten talismans and threw them out in unison. He decisively made them self-destruct. They formed powerful energy waves that resisted the plesiosaur below and the heavenly saber above, making space for him to dodge.
However, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor found an opportunity and instantly pierced through his arm.
The First Peak’s youth’s breathing was hurried and viciousness appeared in his eyes as he let out a low roar.
“Burn!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood on the black iron stick burned.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor exclaimed and quickly suppressed it. After that, he seemed to feel that he had lost face and let out a low shout. He immediately formed into a large seal and sent it smashing at the other party.
The First Peak’s youth was about to attack but Xu Qing had already arrived. When he got close, the black flames on his body flew out, enveloping the youth as though they wanted to extract his soul.
This ruthless and savage action completely intimidated the First Peak’s youth. He spoke anxiously, wanting to tell the other party that there was no need for this since they were from the same sect.
“Home in the Southern Immortal Kingdom, we are fellow villagers!”
Xu Qing didn’t understand and his ears automatically blocked the other party’s words. The black fire enveloped the youth with all its might.
At this critical moment, the First Peak’s youth took out a statue. This statue was black and had the shape of a human. After he threw it out, it instantly shone with light and transformed.
It transformed into a middle-aged cultivator in a black Daoist robe. He expressionlessly waved his sleeve at Xu Qing. Immediately, a violent wind appeared, sweeping in all directions and blocking Xu Qing’s black flames.
The black flames shook and rolled back. Xu Qing’s body also trembled and blood flowed out of his mouth. He quickly retreated far away. When he looked forward again, the youth from the First Peak had already taken the opportunity to escape.
“Master, this kid has too many tricks up his sleeve. Let’s use poison!” The black iron stick quickly returned and the voice of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor rang out, revealing a strong sense of common hatred.
“I used it long ago,” Xu Qing said coldly as he looked at the First Peak’s youth in the distance.
At this moment, the First Peak’s youth suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood. The horror on his face was clearly much greater than before. He sensed that his qi and blood were unstable and his internal organs were aching as though they were being corroded.
This sign of poisoning caused him to hurriedly take out the antidote pills. However, not only were they useless, but the poisoning became even more intense.
This poison was specially refined by Xu Qing to counter antidotes. It was very difficult for his poison to be neutralized by antidotes.
The First Peak’s youth had no choice but to use a secret art to forcefully suppress the poison while shouting inwardly.
He felt that there was no need for this matter to be like this. He had already said that they were both from the same sect. Why was there a need to continue the battle? Wasn’t it just snatching a Foundation Building sea beast? There was no need to chase after him to the death.
“The chaotic world is the time, who am I to push others too far!”
Xu Qing didn’t care. He controlled the magic ship and rammed the youth fiercely.
The youth let out a mournful cry. He felt that he couldn’t communicate with this kid from the Seventh Peak. He had already introduced himself and revealed his identity, but the other party still wanted to fight.
If this continued, he might really die here. This made him anxious. He bit the tip of his tongue again and spat out a mouthful of blood, transforming into a blood sword to distance himself.
Just like that, time passed.
Xu Qing’s cruelty and persistence were completely reflected in this pursuit. He chased after this First Peak youth for two days and three nights in a row!
During this time, they fought many times. There would be explosive sounds every time they fought and the poison on the youth’s body would deepen. However, this person was quite capable. It was unknown what method he used but he actually used the Blood Release Technique to neutralize a portion of the poison.
At the same time, he also used his secret art many times. Every time, he would transform into a blood sword and escape, causing Xu Qing to only be able to injure him despite attacking several times. It was difficult to kill the youth in one strike.
However, Xu Qing was very patient and continued to pursue. At the same time, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor also gasped inwardly. He looked at the youth in front of him and thought of himself.
‘Kid, even though you can be considered the main character in the books, you can’t do anything when you encounter Demon Xu. Unless you learn from me, but the spots are limited. There is only the magic ship left for you.’ As the Diamond Sect’s ancestor took a deep breath, he couldn’t help but feel very proud.
At that moment, this First Peak youth’s hair was disheveled and his robes were tattered. He was in an extremely weak state, and his face was very pale due to the excessive loss of blood.
He had bitten his tongue countless times. He felt that if he continued to bite, his tongue would probably be gone. His coldness had long disappeared.
He had never met such a persistent person who would chase others for two days and three nights without sleep or rest. That momentum seemed to indicate that the other party would not give up unless he was killed.
“Autumn turned into winter with a numb heart, what is the destination of the falling leaves and blood!”
The youth let out a mournful cry. He fiercely threw a jade slip behind him. The jade slip instantly exploded and a large number of souls appeared.
These souls didn’t emit any offensive postures, as though he was giving them to Xu Qing.
These were all things he had collected. On one hand, they were needed for cultivation. On the other hand, he planned to return to the sect and sell them to the Foundation Building cultivators of the Seventh Peak. He knew that although these souls weren’t as good as fresh souls when they were extracted from live beings, they were barely enough.
“Moon near the water, who doesn’t know you are Xuanyuan!”
In order to survive, he said this aggrievedly. After he finished speaking, he bit the tip of his tongue again and transformed into a blood sword to distance himself. Although Xu Qing couldn’t understand the other party’s nonsensical words, after seeing these souls, the black fire in his body spread out and breathed in.
Immediately, these souls were absorbed into Xu Qing’s body without any resistance. They turned into firewood and burned, attacking the twelfth magic aperture and blasting it open by half.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed as he chased even faster.
This scene caused the grief and indignation on the face of the First Peak’s youth to become even more intense. He felt that the other party was too impolite. He had already begged for mercy and given him compensation. He had already said that they were a family and even flattered the other party. Why did he have to go so far!!
Wasn’t it just a beast? There was no need for it to be like this. Hence, he quickly spoke.
“We see the sun, moon, and stars every day; old friends come and go; we are immortals!!”
Xu Qing didn’t say anything and continued to chase. Just like that, another day and night passed. The First Peak’s youth had already thrown out all the souls he had accumulated.
Xu Qing also opened two of the magic apertures in his body, directly reaching 13 opened apertures!
However, he continued to chase and didn’t give up at all. He also forcefully rushed over many times to kill the youth but the other party always escaped.
As for the First Peak’s youth, there was almost nothing left of his robe. In particular, the circles under his eyes were completely black, accentuating his even paler countenance.
He even felt that he had seen stars several times. The feeling of dizziness and fatigue, as well as the weakness of his body and the corrosion of the poison, made him feel extreme despair.
He was glad that he had made many preparations for this trip to the sea, allowing him to maintain his combat strength. He had successfully escaped several times from the Seventh Peak’s pursuer.
However, these surrounding areas were too far away. After so many days, he still didn’t manage to escape back to the sect. It would take at least five more days.
At the thought of this, the First Peak’s youth felt even more despair. He also transmitted his message but the sea was too vast and his voice transmission couldn’t reach that far.
Seeing that the kid behind him was about to speed up again, the First Peak’s youth wailed inwardly. Suddenly, a rumbling sound appeared in the sky in front of him.
Figures whistled past in the distant sky. Thunder rumbled and a vortex formed in the sea.
There were dozens of figures fighting each other. It could be seen that they were divided into two groups and their cultivation levels were hard to describe. Just the aftershocks from passing by made the sea seem like it was about to be suppressed and violent winds kept blowing in all directions.
The sky also dimmed.
As for the auras they emitted, even though they were very far away, it still caused the mind of the First Peak’s youth to tremble violently and he even spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Qing, who was at the back, also saw this scene. His mind also rumbled and he spat out blood.
He looked at the figures flying in the sky. Any one of them was like a god, surpassing the Third Elder.
Just a glance at them made Xu Qing feel as though his body was about to collapse. This caused his breathing to become heavy. One of the figures and the great wing under his feet allowed Xu Qing to recognize the other party’s identity.
At the same time, the eyes of the First Peak’s youth lit up. He saw that one of those figures was his master, so he shouted crazily.
“The broken sun shines another day, a new line in the vast sea!!!”
