435 Pulling a Tooth From the Tiger’s Mouth (2)
“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s time to go.”
As soon as Xu Qing’s words rang out, the captain in the distance froze. He put on a surprised expression.
“Little Qing, I’m here.”
Xu Qing ignored him. He glanced at the tree in front of him before turning back to look at Yanyan.
“I have some jade slips with good scenes. Do you want to take a look?”
Without waiting for Yanyan to reply, the tree beside Xu Qing immediately burst out laughing. The captain’s figure materialized from the side and a warm smile appeared on his face without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
“Haha, Junior Brother, I’m just joking with you, why are you so serious? Let’s go, let’s go. We don’t have time to talk. Hurry up and get the treasure.”
As the captain spoke, he quickly rushed out and arrived beside his clone. With a casual slap, his clone immediately dissipated.
Yanyan’s eyes widened as she looked at the captain in an unfriendly manner. She could naturally tell that the captain had planned to let her and Big Brother Xu Qing scout ahead.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything. With a sway of his body, he followed the captain. Yanyan viciously glared at the captain and snorted inwardly before hurriedly following behind Xu Qing.
Just like that, the three of them charged forward at high speed. After descending from the mountain they were on, they took advantage of the chaos around them to hide themselves and cross the battlefield.
On the way, Xu Qing’s eyes flashed with coldness many times. He saw the scenes in the collapsed city.
There were huge cooking pots and dried meat hanging there. The ground was covered in purplish-black blood, and the stench was much stronger than outside.
The bones that had their flesh scraped off were piled up in many places. There were also countless cages containing mortals of all races who would be used as food.
Xu Qing rarely saw such things, but here… it was everywhere.
“Kill if you want to.” The captain glanced at Xu Qing and spoke in a low voice.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything, but his body instantly appeared in front of a Golden Core cultivator with two palaces who was retreating from a Sword Holder. The dagger in his right hand flashed with a cold light and slashed across the neck of this person.
A short scream rang out as the head flew up. Xu Qing’s face was expressionless as he continued forward. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind another Three Spirits cultivator. He grabbed the head and ruthlessly cut his neck.
Yanyan also attacked. Her vicious aura exploded out. Although her cultivation base wasn’t at the Golden Core realm, she was looking for opponents that she could kill. Often, when she got close, she would grab them and rip open their stomachs.
The captain didn’t say anything else. He flew through the air, and wherever he passed, the disciples of the Three Spirits trembled and turned into ice.
The three of them hid themselves and were like three assassins on the battlefield. Wherever they went, there would be massacres. This was after considering that Xu Qing didn’t use poison so as to prevent a misunderstanding with the Sword Holders.
Otherwise, compared to killing, once Xu Qing fully activated his Dao of Poison, the surroundings would definitely be filled with even more casualties.
If the three of them had attacked before the arrival of the Sword Holders, they would have definitely caused chaos and they might not be able to escape unscathed. However, the battlefield right now was extremely chaotic. The sounds of slaughter and explosions could be heard everywhere. The ground was filled with corpses, so their appearance was not as eye-catching.
Xu Qing’s rationality had existed for most of his life. Hence, even if he killed, his direction didn’t change. He continued to approach the third mountain.
An hour later, they were getting close to the third mountain. They could see the battle in the sky more clearly.
The first mountain had the most fluctuations, the second mountain had the most intense rumbling, and the third mountain that they were paying attention to had the most figures.
Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s tall figure swayed and split into three bodies to fight the three Sword Holder Elders.
Ripples spread out, causing the weather to change. Cracks appeared in space, as if the world was about to collapse.
Under this fluctuation, the speed of Xu Qing and the other two couldn’t help but slow down, as though they were carrying a heavy load.
When they neared the third mountain, the battlefield became even more chaotic. There were killings everywhere, so the captain would occasionally suddenly lie down and hide to avoid attention.
Xu Qing’s reaction was almost exactly the same as the captain’s. There was no need to remind him. Everything seemed to have become instinctive.
When he saw that there were too many battles going on around him, he decided to crawl on the ground. Sometimes he would stop, sometimes he would speed up, and sometimes he would just kill any cultivator who passed by.
Only Yanyan was not used to this method and her reaction was a little slow.
However, she was very good at learning and began to imitate.
Just like that, the three of them used various methods to gradually cross the battlefield.
During this time, they also encountered the Sword Holders. Although not all of them could detect them, there were still people who could see some clues. However, the captain was indeed well-prepared. He quickly took out a token and placed it on his body.
The Sword Holders who noticed them had strange expressions on their faces when they saw the token, and ignored them.
“How is it? Didn’t I say that I was very well prepared? Do you know what this is? This is the identity token of the Sword Holder’s informant. I spent a lot of money to buy it. It might not be of much use usually, but on the battlefield, when the Sword Holders have to face many enemies, this token will be of use.” The captain crawled in front and turned his head to explain to Xu Qing smugly.
Xu Qing blinked and appropriately expressed his admiration. Hence, the captain felt much better.
They did encounter several dangers, but under the cautiousness of Xu Qing and the captain, they avoided them.
After another hour passed, they finally crawled out of the battlefield and arrived at the foot of the third mountain.
In the sky above the third mountain, the three bodies of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy were fighting.
The afterglow landed on her body. One could see that the dress she was wearing was not the one she had worn when she was in the sky above the Seven Blood Eyes.
“This woman really has a lot of clothes!”
“Little Qing, it’s time to make a fortune!” The captain’s eyes were filled with greed. He jumped up and no longer hid himself. Instead, he charged towards the mountain in front of him.
Xu Qing did the same and rushed out almost at the same time as the captain. Yanyan followed behind. Although Yanyan was slow, she had many treasures on her and tried her best to follow. Even if she couldn’t keep up, she still didn’t stop.
The ground was in chaos, and the sky was filled with battles. Three figures charged into the third black mountain with all their might and quickly closed in on the cave abode above.
There was madness in the captain’s eyes.
Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed.
“Crazy, crazy…” Although Yanyan didn’t say anything along the way, her heart was beating unprecedentedly.
She looked at the figures of Xu Qing and the captain before her and felt that these two were pulling a tooth from the tiger’s mouth.
“But it’s so exciting!” Yanyan’s breathing quickened, and her eyes glazed over. Her body began to tremble under the intense stimulation.
