553 The Stench of Blood Fills the Air, and the Poison Spreads Far and Wide (3)
His entire body was covered in injuries.
The injuries on his body were severe. His chest and heart area were badly mangled, and there was a hole in his abdomen. One of his legs was twisted, and a large piece of flesh was missing from his neck, as if it had been bitten off.
There was also blood at the corner of his mouth, and his arm that was holding the dagger hung unnaturally.
As he walked, blood spewed from his mouth and he tossed the crushed eyeball to the ground.
The poison fog behind him churned and instantly surged toward him, entering his body.
As the poison fog dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, it finally revealed the aftermath of the battle behind Xu Qing. A figure was now standing there in the clearing.
It was none other than the black-clothed guard with eight palaces who had been swept into the fog by Xu Qing.
More than half of his body had rotted, and his stomach was cut open. His Heavenly Palaces had collapsed and all of his golden cores had been taken out.
In his one remaining eye, disbelief still lingered.
Shan He and the others cast their gazes upon Xu Qing, each of them with a glint of admiration in their eyes.
Xu Qing also looked at them and spat out another mouthful of blood as he spoke softly.
“Sorry for the wait, it was a bit difficult to kill him.”
As Xu Qing’s voice echoed, the corpse of the black-clothed guard behind him collapsed onto the ground.
With Xu Qing’s current combat strength, it was naturally difficult for him to kill the black-clothed guard with eight palaces.
In a fight for survival, any and all kinds of means would be used. Xu Qing’s neck was viciously bitten off by the other party, leaving a large piece of flesh missing.
However, the gains from this battle were also huge.
In addition, he had sensed the aura of the red moon on the other party’s body. This was also the reason for the pensive look in his eyes when he walked out.
However, now wasn’t the time to think about this. Almost at the instant Xu Qing walked out, a mournful cry rang out from the sky.
The second half-step Nascent Soul cultivator’s neck was forcefully twisted off by Kong Xianglong.
The eyes of the last half-step Nascent Soul cultivator were filled with extreme horror.
He wasn’t only frightened by Kong Xianglong, but also the cruelty of the other Sword Holders. Without any hesitation, he turned around and fled.
Kong Xianglong laughed sinisterly and chased after him. Xu Qing calmly lifted his hand and straightened his twisted leg before giving chase as well.
This scene caused Shan He and the other two to show even more approval. They were also heavily injured but no one cared now. They rushed out, their killing intent even more intense than before.
Since they were returning the greeting to the black-clothed guards, they naturally had to kill them all to comply with the etiquette.
This place wasn’t far from the border to begin with. Hence, the moment the half-step Nascent Soul cultivator saw the border, Xu Qing and the others caught up to him.
The five of them attacked at the same time and with Kong Xianglong suppressing the enemy, there was no suspense…
As a thunderous boom echoed, the body of the half-step Nascent Soul cultivator collapsed and shattered into pieces, raining down blood on the surrounding area.
The instant he died, a violent aura spread out from the Holy Wave Race’s territory outside the boundary. A figure rapidly approached and a furious roar echoed.
“Sword Holders!”
Seeing this, Kong Xianglong suddenly shouted.
“Call your father1.”
“This place is the territory of our human race’s Fenghai County. Any nonhuman Nascent Soul cultivator in the Holy Wave Region who takes half a step in will be killed on the spot by the Taboo magic treasure of Fenghai County!”
“Come, you f*cker!”
With that, Kong Xianglong turned and ran. As for Shan He and the other two, they had already run hundreds of feet away while he was talking.
As for Xu Qing, his movements were even faster than theirs. He was already 1,000 feet away…
Everyone sprinted rapidly.
Outside the boundary, the figure that arrived suddenly stopped and transformed into a middle-aged cultivator of the Holy Wave Race who was wearing a black-clothed guard’s Daoist robe.
His expression was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and stared coldly at the backs of Kong Xianglong, Xu Qing, and the others. The killing intent in his eyes rose intensely.
However, in the end, he still didn’t dare to step past the border!
