296 Blood Dyeing Clothes
Xu Qing had already restrained his killing intent for a long time.
From the moment he found out that Grandmaster Bai had been assassinated, it was as though a sharp blade was crazily rampaging in his body, wanting to break out and kill everyone.
However, he didn’t. He forcefully suppressed this monstrous killing intent and forced himself to calm down. He then headed to Purple Earth with a calm mind as he had to be even more careful there. Even if he caught the murderer, he couldn’t kill him.
He could only torture the bizarre fiend slowly to dig out the mastermind.
After such a long time, he finally found the mastermind. Now, he was unable to suppress the killing intent in his heart anymore. Xu Qing immediately arrived before a Starfish Race cultivator.
This cultivator was a female. As Xu Qing got closer, the two fires in her body swayed intensely. Just as they were about to be extinguished, Xu Qing had already stretched out his right hand. It was filled with incomparable hatred, astonishing madness, and a terrifying aura. His right hand instantly broke through the woman’s stomach and reached in.
He grabbed a life fire and squeezed it ruthlessly!
Boom! A tragic cry came out from the mouth of the female cultivator. This was an intense pain she had never endured in her life. It was the torture of her life fire being extinguished forcefully.
This wasn’t the end. After Xu Qing squeezed it, he grabbed the other ball of life fire. He directly pulled out both balls of life fire. As blood splattered everywhere, as the life fires collapsed, all the magic apertures in the female cultivator’s body were destroyed.
An even more mournful cry rang out before it rapidly weakened.
The female cultivator bled from her seven orifices. However, Xu Qing’s violence wasn’t over. He slammed his head against the female cultivator’s forehead. The woman’s originally beautiful face exploded like a smashed fruit.
Xu Qing’s body was covered in blood. He turned his head with a gloomy expression and looked at the remaining two Starfish Race members, especially the princess.
Behind him, the Golden Crow let out a cry and sucked fiercely at the corpse whose head had collapsed to the side. However, it seemed like it didn’t get much. As such, it turned its head and looked at the Starfish Race princess savagely.
Under the moonlight, Xu Qing’s entire body emitted a baleful aura like a ferocious god. The Golden Crow at the side was like a peerless ferocious beast with an earth-shattering aura.
“Xu Qing, about this…”
The Starfish Race princess’ face was pale and her eyes revealed horror. Just as she spoke, the last Starfish Race Dao Protector beside her let out a roar and rushed out.
“Princess, leave quickly!!”
As he spoke, the Starfish Race cultivator’s entire body shone. He burned his life fires and all his magic apertures erupted; an aura of self-destruction spread out from his body. He even performed a series of hand seals and activated the three discs set up in the surroundings.
The three discs emitted an astonishing aura that transformed into bolts of lightning, forming a large net in the air that suppressed and bound Xu Qing.
Seeing this, the Starfish Race’s princess gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around, heading straight for the sea. She knew that she couldn’t return to the Seven Blood Eyes and had to leave as soon as possible.
However, just as she was about to enter the sea, a huge sea turtle suddenly rushed out from under the sea. Its eyes were filled with horror and despair. She didn’t know how it did it but it actually let out a sinister laugh and bit at her.
At the same time, a black iron stick also rushed out from Xu Qing’s side. It formed black lightning in the air and headed straight for the Starfish Race’s princess.
In an instant, the turtle and the Starfish Race’s princess collided. The power of the black iron stick also approached and struck her.
The instant the lightning net formed by the three discs landed and was about to envelop and restrain Xu Qing, the power of Golden Crow Refines All Life erupted.
The Golden Crow behind him cried at the sky and rushed up. Its huge body, the phoenix’s tail, and the black flames formed the shape of ‘弓’ as it headed for the sky.
It directly collided with the lightning net. Almost in an instant, the lightning net collapsed and tore apart. With cracking sounds, the three surrounding discs also shattered into pieces.
They couldn’t stop it at all!
The combat strength Xu Qing erupted with at this moment was comparable to four fires. A mere two fires cultivator wouldn’t be able to cause any damage even if he had a magic artifact.
At the next instant, Xu Qing appeared in front of the Starfish Race cultivator who was rushing over with the intention of self-destructing. He pressed his palm against the person’s forehead. Under the indescribable horror and despair in the Starfish Race cultivator’s eyes, Xu Qing fiercely inhaled.
The fiendish fire erupted and the soul was forcefully sucked over. The pain of having his soul extracted alive caused the Starfish Race cultivator’s screams to be sharp and shrill. While his body trembled intensely, the Golden Crow sucked from the air.
Immediately, this cultivator’s body spasmed as a large amount of qi and blood flowed out from his seven orifices and rose into the air. His soul and qi and blood were being extracted. The entire process only lasted for two breaths of time before the Starfish Race cultivator turned into a dried corpse. After he fell to the ground, he shattered and turned into ashes.
At the same time, the face of the Starfish Race’s princess, who was stopped by the turtle and the black iron stick, was extremely pale.
She looked at her clansmen who had died in a short period and at Xu Qing who was walking toward her with an endless baleful aura.
She recalled the scene of Xu Qing fighting against the black-clothed girl from Dongyou Island. She thought of the reason why the name of the Homicide Department was spread in the Seven Blood Eyes during this period of time and also thought of the other party’s peerlessly beautiful face when she visited many times previously.
All of this intertwined, forming surrealism and indescribable fear. She wanted to retreat, but it was too late. She had lost control of her body and mind, giving a chance to the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. He pierced through her stomach and quickly flew back to pierce it again.
As a blood-curdling scream came out from the Starfish Race princess’ mouth, the sea turtle at the side opened its mouth and tore off the princess’ arm.
As he chewed, madness appeared on his face. However, his eyes revealed deep fear and a hint of pleading.
This sea turtle was none other than the bizarre fiend cultivator. After he killed the starfish, he revived on a sea turtle at the bottom of the sea. Just as he was about to escape, he quickly discovered that his body had lost all control.
He was familiar with this feeling and horror filled his mind. He couldn’t do anything but watch in despair as the sea turtle happily swam toward the shore.
The Starfish Race’s princess, whose abdomen had been penetrated repeatedly and whose mind was about to collapse, revealed a pitiful expression. Her eyes were pleading and her body was trembling as she started crying.
“Xu Qing… I have my… reasons for this. I also…”
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qing had already gotten close and slapped her. The right side of the young girl’s face instantly bulged. Her teeth broke and cracks appeared on her skull. Her nerves were also affected as her limbs twitched involuntarily a few times.
Two of the life fires in her body were directly extinguished by Xu Qing’s slap.
Before she could recover, Xu Qing slapped her again.
The young girl let out a sharp cry. The left side of her face was also puffed up and her gums bled severely. Her entire skull seemed to be about to collapse at this moment.
The last life fire in her body was also extinguished. Xu Qing didn’t stop. He ruthlessly kicked the wound on the young girl’s stomach.
The young girl’s body was thrown up and blood gushed out of her injuries. All the magic apertures in her body shattered under this force and her cultivation was completely crippled.
This intense pain caused her to want to faint. However, Xu Qing quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth, extending her life and preventing her from fainting.
As such, she could only let out blood-curdling screams while having to endure the intense pain. Her expression also distorted. Her eyes were no longer filled with despair but were mixed with madness and viciousness. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Qing punched her mouth, directly shattering it into a bloody mess.
After that, Xu Qing coldly looked at the woman and took a deep breath. With a wave of his hand, the mosasaur opened its mouth and swallowed the sea turtle in one gulp. After that, it floated in the air while Xu Qing dragged the Starfish Race’s princess by her leg and walked toward the sect.
The sand and gravel on the beach cut against the flesh of the Starfish Race’s princess like sharp blades, causing her to suffer not only the pain of the collapse of the magic apertures in her body but also from the thousands of cuts.
Her blood-curdling screeches became inhuman.
Just like that, Xu Qing walked all the way. Behind him, a shocking bloody trail was left.
This blood trail grew longer and longer, and the screams became weaker and weaker. Not long later, Xu Qing walked into the range of the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation and saw the majestic city in the distance. He then expressionlessly spoke.
“Xu Qing, the director of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department, is reporting to the sect. The Starfish Race has rebelled. I ask for the sect’s array formation to suppress all the Starfish Race members in the Seven Blood Eyes. Don’t let them teleport or escape. Don’t let them transmit their messages to the outside world and suppress them immediately!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation instantly rumbled, as though it was rapidly screening him. At the next instant, an aged voice rang out from the Sixth Peak and spread in all directions with hurried breathing.
“Permitted!”
Following the voice, the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation was activated and the suppression began immediately. At the same time, several figures flew out of the Seven Blood Eyes and headed straight for Xu Qing.
The fastest was Lord Sixth, who walked out of the Sixth Peak. He crossed the distance with almost a step and arrived in front of Xu Qing. His Nascent Soul cultivation made him look like the sun, emitting heat and madness that distorted everything in the surroundings.
“Xu Qing, what did you find out!”
Xu Qing took a deep breath and endured the discomfort from the Nascent Soul energy fluctuation. He then cupped his fists and spoke in a low voice.
“Lord Sixth, you’ll know after searching her soul!”
As he spoke, Xu Qing threw the princess behind him to Lord Sixth. Lord Sixth’s breathing was hurried. If it was any other peak lord, they might not search the girl’s soul because of Xu Qing’s words. However, he was different.
Lord Sixth didn’t hesitate at all. He pressed his right hand on the forehead of the Starfish Race’s princess and started to search her soul!
Not long later, the captain and the others also arrived. When they saw this scene, their expressions turned solemn. They waited silently beside Xu Qing. The captain looked at the Starfish Race’s princess who was screaming miserably and then at the expressionless Xu Qing whose murderous aura was still dense. He patted his shoulder.
“Little Qing, I’ll shoulder this matter with you!”
