281 Ill Intentions
This pressure carried a domineering aura. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up a huge wave at the port, causing the black waves to sweep up and transform into a sea wall that blasted toward the gate outside the Seven Blood Eyes’ port.
This enormous wave seemed to contain violent power as it triggered the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation. As the seven blood eyes in the distance flickered, a red light screen instantly appeared, blocking the wave.
The rumbling and deafening sound spread out at such a close distance that it caused everyone in Port 176 to feel as though lightning had thundered right beside their ears.
Xu Qing frowned and waved his right hand. Immediately, the magic power in his body spread out and enveloped Gu Muqing and Ding Xue, isolating them from the sound that could shake one’s mind.
However, the remaining 30-odd Seven Blood Eyes disciples were a little miserable. All of them spat out blood and retreated one after another. This sound could already cause damage to Qi Condensation disciples.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. The captain at the side stroked his chin and looked at the second highness beside him.
The second highness also frowned. She looked at the Seven Blood Eyes’ gate in the distance and suddenly spoke.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“Aiya, Sister, don’t be angry.” A crisp voice immediately replied from the port gate.
At the next instant, a huge octopus foot broke out of the sea outside the Seven Blood Eyes’ port gate.
This octopus leg was dozens of feet thick and hundreds of feet long. It directly crossed the Seven Blood Eyes’ harbor gate and landed in the port. After that, similar tentacles stretched out from the surface of the sea one after another.
At the next instant, an even larger octopus head rose from the sea.
On the head of this octopus sat a figure that looked like a young girl. The reason why it looked like her was because she was wearing black tight-fitting clothes. It wasn’t a woman’s attire at all. In fact, her hair was very short.
However, her appearance was extremely delicate. The huge octopus completely crawled out of the sea and directly approached the shore of Port 176.
Drops of black seawater landed on the ground and some landed on the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples. As for the Starfish Race members at the side, most of them were trembling and lowering their heads.
This huge octopus itself emitted an aura similar to a Golden Core elder!
Moreover, due to its size, this terrifying sea beast was much more powerful than other same realm cultivators. The pressure emitted by its strength rampaged everywhere.
Xu Qing took a few steps back and avoided the falling seawater. He then coldly looked at the black-clothed girl.
This young girl was about 15 or 16 years old. She had an oval face, thin lips, lively brows, and a delicate appearance.
Her delicate body leaped up from the head of the octopus and landed gently on the ground. She ran straight for the second highness without even looking at the captain and Xu Qing.
“Sister, you can’t blame me for this. It’s all Shrimpy’s fault.” As she spoke, the young girl waved her right hand behind her. Immediately, sharp spikes appeared out of thin air around her and headed straight for the octopus.
Its target wasn’t its thick-skinned body but its eyes.
The octopus didn’t dare to dodge and the black spikes pierced into its eyes. It was clearly in pain but it didn’t struggle and allowed the black blood to flow.
“Sister, don’t be angry. I helped you beat it.”
When Xu Qing saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly. When his gaze swept past the black-clothed girl, his mind shook slightly.
In Xu Qing’s opinion, the other party was different from anyone he had seen before. Regardless of whether it was the captain, the Dao Child of the Sea Corpse Race, or even the sect’s elders and peak lords, they were all different from this young girl.
She seemed to be… purer!
This purity allowed Xu Qing to instantly understand the reason. This reason was the source of the fluctuations in his mind.
‘She has no anomalous substances!’
This was the first time Xu Qing had seen someone else with no anomalous substances other than himself. Her body’s purity was like that of a goddess. In fact, he could sense over a hundred magic apertures shining faintly in her body, but they hadn’t reached 120.
Xu Qing swept his gaze over and confirmed that there were 104 of them. Clearly, this young girl was still at the stage of opening her magic apertures. In the end, she would definitely reach 120 or even surpass it.
After all, Xu Qing had sensed back then that 120… wasn’t the limit.
“Yanyan, this is the Seven Blood Eyes. You…” The second highness frowned and spoke unhappily.
“Alright, alright. Big Sister, I was wrong.” The black-clothed girl quickly walked to the second highness’ side and hugged her thick arm as she spoke coquettishly.
She clearly had a close relationship with the second highness. The second highness shook her head and looked at the captain.
“Eldest Senior Brother… Yanyan didn’t do it on purpose.”
The captain smiled and sized up the black-clothed girl. The girl also looked at the captain curiously. After that, she revealed two small dimples and smiled faintly.
“Your eyes are so annoying. If you look at me again, I’ll make Shrimpy dig them out.”
When the captain heard this, his eyes lit up and he tried his best to open them wide, as though he was revealing how good-looking his eyes were. He even took out an apple and took a bite.
“It’s fine. I can even give them to you. How about a bottle of Dongyou Liquid for them?”
The black-clothed girl raised her brows.
The second highness hurriedly pulled the black-clothed girl. The girl snorted and swept her gaze past everyone here before finally looking at Xu Qing.
Originally, she was only looking briefly but at the next instant, she saw Xu Qing’s face.
“Sister, this person isn’t from the same sect as you, right? I want his face to be made into a mask. It will definitely look good when I wear it.”
The black-clothed girl wasn’t joking. A strange glint appeared in her eyes. Even the huge octopus at the side revealed a cold glint as its power locked onto Xu Qing.
The surrounding people were all nervous, especially the Starfish Race. All of them retreated.
Xu Qing didn’t speak but the magic power in his body had long gathered. The shadow under his feet was also prepared.
The black-clothed girl narrowed her eyes. Beside her, the second highness sighed inwardly and looked at the black-clothed girl solemnly.
“You cannot!”
She knew Xu Qing and also knew that he was Huang Yan’s friend. Hence, she looked at Xu Qing after saying that.
“Xu Qing, I’m sorry. You can leave first. I’ll get Huang Yan to explain this to you later.”
Xu Qing nodded and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, when the black-clothed girl heard Huang Yan’s name, she suddenly laughed.
“Sister, why are you so protective of him? Do you like him? Then I don’t want his face. I will only cut it.”
She suddenly moved and her speed instantly erupted, heading straight for Xu Qing. Her eyes revealed intense hostility and ferocity.
This ferocious light and hostility came out of nowhere. However, Xu Qing was already on guard. The life fires in his body instantly ignited. The instant he stepped into the Mystic Brilliance Form, he also headed straight for the young girl.
At the same time, the octopus at the side emitted the pressure of a Golden Core and was about to attack. However, at this moment, a low shout rang out from the Sixth Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes like thunder.
“Impudent!”
As the voice rang out, the Golden Core octopus trembled and its aura directly dissipated, as though it was suppressed. Boom! It was pressed to the ground by an invisible force and couldn’t move.
As for the captain, he suddenly headed straight for the octopus suppressed by the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord. A cold aura erupted from his body. After he got close, he directly hugged one of the octopus’ legs and bit down.
At the same time, Xu Qing and the black-clothed girl also came into contact in mid-air. The girl’s fingernails ruthlessly slashed at Xu Qing’s face. Xu Qing didn’t dodge at all. A dagger appeared in his right and he directly slashed fiercely at the young girl’s neck.
The young girl twisted her body and dodged Xu Qing’s dagger. However, Xu Qing ruthlessly kneed her chest, but the young girl suddenly turned into paper.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out a small bottle containing black liquid and slammed it behind him with all his might.
The small bottle shattered and the black liquid inside spread out. A portion of it landed on Xu Qing’s palm but most of it landed on the right hand of the young girl who suddenly walked out of the void behind Xu Qing.
For the first time, the young girl’s expression changed. She swung her hand but she couldn’t shake the liquid off. The black liquid contained countless small bugs. The moment they came into contact with the young girl’s palm, they entered through the pores on her skin.
“You!”
Just as the black-clothed girl was about to speak, killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. The black iron stick instantly flew up from his shadow and headed straight for the young girl.
At this critical moment, an impatient voice rang out from the Sixth Peak.
“Enough.”
As soon as this sound rang out, Xu Qing’s body trembled. A boundless obstructive force appeared in front of him and he could only retreat.
The black-clothed girl was the same. As she retreated, her face was pale. She looked at her palm and swallowed medicinal pills but it was still useless.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and take out a golden talisman, directly sticking it on her right hand. Only then was she able to stop the spreading of the black bugs.
The second highness also arrived quickly. She sighed inwardly and revealed an apologetic expression to Xu Qing while supporting the black-clothed girl.
“Your name is Xu Qing, right? I have remembered you. I’m definitely going to take your face. Also, tell that fatty Huang Yan that if he comes to pester my sister again, I’ll kill him!” The black-clothed girl’s expression was gloomy. After she spoke word by word, she was pulled away from the port by the second highness.
The captain also went all out at this moment, but he still couldn’t move the flesh of the Golden Core creature. He finally chose the small part at the end. By using all his strength, he finally bit off a little of the tentacle.
The octopus wanted to struggle but it couldn’t move at all. It could only whimper. However, the black-clothed girl had clearly forgotten about it.
As for the Starfish Race, all of them looked at Xu Qing and the captain in awe.
In their opinion, these two people were lunatics. One took advantage of the fact that the Golden Core sea beast was suppressed and took a bite of it with no regard for his life, while the other actually dared to attack the little princess of the Dongyou Island. Moreover, he attacked with the intent to kill.
“One is crazier than the other. We can’t afford to offend these two!”
This made them involuntarily think of the bounty on them put up by the Sea Corpse Race. They felt that it was indeed such people who could do such a big thing. They quickly left one after another.
Very soon, only Xu Qing, the captain, and the suppressed octopus were left at the port. As for Gu Muqing, Ding Xue, and the other disciples, they were also arranged by the captain to leave.
Ding Xue was a little worried but she knew that they had something to talk about, so she bade farewell and left. However, before Gu Muqing left, she gave Xu Qing a pill bottle.
“Senior Brother Xu Qing, this pill has the effect of suppressing insect injuries.”
Xu Qing nodded in thanks and took it. After everyone left, the captain carried the tentacle he had bitten and ran to Xu Qing’s side.
“This matter has nothing to do with me. That girl has liked the second for many years. It’s obvious that she found out that you and Huang Yan are good friends. She came this time to find trouble with Huang Yan. You were only implicated.”
“However, she probably didn’t expect you to be so difficult to kill.”
A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t speak and walked toward the octopus.
“What are you doing?” The captain looked at Xu Qing.
“Cut off a leg.” Xu Qing calmly spoke.
“Don’t, the suppression time is about to pass!!” The captain was anxious.
“Then come and help me cut it.” Xu Qing walked in front of the huge octopus. Under the other party’s angry gaze, a dagger formed in his hand and he slashed fiercely.
