405 Master, Save Me (1)
Xu Qing didn’t know if these people were the companions of the old man he had killed.
He couldn’t see any clues from their clothes. Regardless of whether it was the seven speeding figures or the Golden Core middle-aged man with three palaces, they were all unfamiliar.
However, after a simple analysis, Xu Qing felt that these people weren’t the companions of the old man. It was more like they had been lying in ambush here, waiting for him to appear.
Moreover, they probably waited for a while to confirm that he had no Dao Protectors around.
To be able to do this, they had to accurately grasp his whereabouts.
Only the people from the Alliance could easily investigate his whereabouts.
Otherwise, with him making the trip in disguise, even if he was seen, it was impossible for others to know the destination of the mission.
‘Was this spread by the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect?’ Xu Qing immediately retreated.
However, although he could outrun the seven figures approaching with sinister smiles, he couldn’t be faster than the three Heavenly Palaces Golden Core.
“Dream on!”
A cold voice rang out. At a speed that Xu Qing couldn’t see clearly, the three Heavenly Palaces Golden Core instantly arrived before him with intense killing intent.
At this critical moment, the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown above Xu Qing’s head formed a light barrier that blocked the power of the three Heavenly Palaces.
With a boom, blood flowed out of the corner of Xu Qing’s mouth. Although he resisted the power of the three Heavenly Palaces, the tremors still injured him.
The difference between the two was too great.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed as he continued to retreat and flee into the distance.
The three Heavenly Palaces Golden Core coldly watched Xu Qing’s departing figure. He didn’t give chase immediately but quickly checked his surroundings to confirm if Xu Qing’s Dao Protectors had appeared.
As for the others, they continued to chase with greed.
These pursuers all had extraordinary cultivation bases. They were all Golden Core cultivators. Among them, five were Golden Core cultivators with one palace and two were Golden Core cultivators with two palaces. Each of them erupted with astonishing speed and besieged Xu Qing from all directions.
As the power of the spells landed, the ground trembled.
The sound waves spread in all directions, distorting the void.
The fluctuations swept through the surroundings and the nearby mountains collapsed.
Under such siege and amidst the rumbling of many spells, Xu Qing quickly performed hand seals with both hands. One spell after another formed in his hands and waves of water vapor transformed into sea beasts that rushed toward the enemies.
In an instant, rumbling sounds rang out throughout the area and Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes revealed intense killing intent. However, there were too many enemies and none of them were ordinary, causing him to be unable to counterattack effectively.
At this moment, he could only continue to defend and quickly distance himself. He continued to flee, looking a little disheveled.
As for the protective power formed by the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown, it fluctuated intensely because it had withstood too many spells.
When observed from afar, one would see terrifying energy rumbling in this place. The might of the Golden Cores was astonishing and they formed an inescapable net.
Xu Qing’s expression turned ugly. The Nine-Layers Howling Sea spread out, transforming into waves that blasted in all directions.
However, at this moment, a sharp sound tore through the air from the distant sky. It was none other than the Golden Core middle-aged man with three Heavenly Palaces.
His aura was filled with terrifying might and there was a flowing light around his body, causing him to seem holy. However, at that moment, his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion.
“Are there really no Dao Protectors?”
Almost at the instant he spoke, Xu Qing lifted his head. His eyes revealed ecstasy as he shouted at the distant sky.
“Master! Master, save me!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. The instant they looked into the distance in unison, Xu Qing turned around and circulated the cultivation base in his body to erupt with extreme speed. He even waved his hand and took out the magic ship to increase his fleeing speed. Even its divinity was used, and it transformed into a ray of light.
“Petty tricks!” The three Heavenly Palaces Golden Core sneered but he still didn’t give chase.
However, the empty space in front of Xu Qing suddenly fluctuated. A large hand manifested from the void and landed on Xu Qing’s magic ship.
With a boom, the magic ship detonated but it didn’t completely shatter. Under Xu Qing’s control, it changed its direction and rushed in another direction.
The palm that had appeared earlier dissipated, transforming into a red-faced old Daoist in a black robe. He also had three Heavenly Palaces.
He stood there and also sensed his surroundings suspiciously, not chasing after Xu Qing.
However, the void fluctuated again in the direction Xu Qing rushed to. A huge face suddenly appeared. This face had no hair and its eyes were bloodshot. It opened its mouth and bit fiercely at Xu Qing’s magic ship with malevolence and cruelty.
A rumbling sound echoed as Xu Qing’s magic ship exploded again.
Xu Qing’s heart ached and he could only quickly store it. He gritted his teeth and changed directions again.
However, a figure appeared, transforming into a tall and burly middle-aged man. He blocked in front and laughed sinisterly as the three Heavenly Palaces behind him suppressed Xu Qing.
Xu Qing’s body trembled violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The protective barrier from the Infinite Crown outside his body was rippling even more intensely.
When he could no longer run, the middle-aged Golden Core cultivator with the three Heavenly Palaces also walked over.
At that moment, there were already four Golden Core cultivators with three palaces surrounding Xu Qing.
At the same time, dozens of rogue cultivators flew out one after another. These people were all lying in ambush around the Mind Eye Country.
Xu Qing’s expression was gloomy. He suddenly took out a disorder teleportation talisman and crushed it.
In that instant, the power of teleportation erupted and Xu Qing’s figure disappeared from the spot.
