662 It’s You! It’s You!!
Xu Qing descended with the morning glow.
He used all his methods at this moment, even using the demon transformation runes. He activated the Ghost Emperor Heavenly Palace in his body and an extremely terrifying Ghost Emperor Mountain appeared in the sky of Mount Morning Glow.
It didn’t land but acted as a deterrence.
Its existence caused waves in the hearts of all enemies who were hiding in the dark. They didn’t dare to act rashly.
Although it didn’t descend, the extreme pressure caused by the appearance of the Ghost Emperor still killed many nonhumans.
This still wasn’t the strange part.
What was truly strange was when Xu Qing spread out the aura of his D132. Bad luck instantly descended on all the invading cultivators.
The manifestation of bad luck was extremely terrifying on the battlefield. Spells that shouldn’t have flown over suddenly fell on these invaders because of various accidents. Dangers that shouldn’t have appeared also silently arrived.
Some were crippled by their companions, while others accidentally fell down as they retreated. Before they could stand up, they were poisoned to death.
There were also people who were halfway through casting their spells when they suffered a backlash.
This scene shocked everyone, causing the expressions of the cultivators from the various races who had invaded Mount Morning Glow to change drastically. There were also some prisoners among them. When they saw Xu Qing, they felt that he looked familiar and recognized him soon after. They cried out involuntarily.
“He’s a Pawn, the Pawn of Area D. He’s Demon Xu!!”
At the same time, among the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the air, the nonhuman with four arms instinctively shuddered and stared fixedly at Xu Qing.
“He’s Xu Qing! A Pawn from Area C of the Prison Department!!”
This nonhuman was one of the prisoners in Area C. He was a cultivator from the East 13 Area that Xu Qing was in charge of.
“He’s just a Pawn, what can he do? Even if he has some ability, he won’t be able to cause much waves. The north and west battlefields are in a precarious state, so it’s impossible for the Sword Holder experts to have time to return, nor will they return on a large scale. Let’s attack together and kill him! This person has many secrets on him. They’ll all be ours!”
The middle-aged woman sized up Xu Qing a few times and her expression revealed killing intent as she headed straight for Xu Qing.
The four-armed cultivator gritted his teeth and revealed a ferocious expression as he charged forward together with her. A sinister armor instantly appeared around his body. This armor was formed from his life force and was filled with tenacity. From afar, it looked like a turtle shell.
These two Nascent Soul cultivators immediately neared Xu Qing and blocked him.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He had already sensed that there seemed to be only three Nascent Soul cultivators here. The highest cultivation level was only at the mid-stage but the greatest danger didn’t come from them.
It came from the sky.
There was an aura there that locked onto this area, causing Xu Qing to feel some pressure.
“I wonder if it’s a cultivator or some other arrangement…”
His physical strength rose unprecedentedly at this moment.
His body that had been modified by the god’s finger was several times stronger than before. Now that he combined it with the shadow’s secret technique, the terrifying power he displayed had already surpassed the extreme limits of the Golden Core realm.
With just a slight movement, he instantly neared the four-armed Nascent Soul cultivator. Xu Qing ignored the incoming divine abilities and spells and punched.
The punch directly shattered the turtle shell formed by the four-armed nonhuman’s life force. The four-armed cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood with a horrified expression and retreated rapidly.
Xu Qing was a little surprised. He had thought that his punch would kill the other party.
“The nonhuman races have many innate talents… This guy’s outer shell is a little hard.”
The four-armed nonhuman was completely shaken. His internal organs were tearing and showing signs of collapse. He knew very well that his life armor was extremely hard, so he had not even imagined that his armor would be unable to withstand a single punch.
“You…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing caught up to him. Just as he was about to throw another punch, the middle-aged woman with a charming face on her forehead quickly stopped him. She performed a series of hand seals, forming a huge fog umbrella that enveloped Xu Qing.
Countless charming faces appeared on the umbrella and were trying to bewitch Xu Qing. After they got close, these charming faces all transformed into malevolent faces and pounced upon him.
Xu Qing was expressionless. Morning glow emanated from his body like a peacock spreading its tail, and vaporized the middle-aged woman’s fog umbrell. The sinister faces immediately let out terrified cries and dissipated one after another. The middle-aged woman also had no choice but to retreat.
The morning glow was a supreme light that could resist the power of gods. A single touch of it could easily erase spells.
This was also the terrifying aspect of this light.
All of this happened too quickly. By the time the middle-aged woman’s expression changed, Xu Qing had already rushed out and charged straight for the retreating four-armed nonhuman.
This four-armed nonhuman immediately tried to teleport, attempting to create distance between them. However, the powerful restriction in place extended beyond Mount Morning Glow, limiting his teleportation range. Xu Qing instantly caught up with his extreme speed and threw a second punch.
At this critical moment, the four-armed nonhuman looked crazed and stopped retreating. He turned around and clenched his four arms together, forming a huge fist, resisting with all his might.
His race’s innate talent was their physical strength. His strongest trump card wasn’t spells but his own body.
He used all his strength. In fact, two nascent souls appeared behind him, supporting him with all their might.
However, compared to Xu Qing, his body was too inferior.
The moment they came into contact, the four-armed nonhuman’s hands couldn’t withstand the force. His flesh disintegrated, his bones shattered, and the force continued to invade, destroying all his hands before destroying his body.
Even a nascent soul was directly shattered.
Only a lone nascent soul was left which retreated while screaming.
Just as Xu Qing was about to chase after it, the middle-aged woman who had been sent back gritted her teeth and performed a series of hand seals with both hands. Immediately, her face and the charming face on her forehead blurred and directly swapped. After she transformed into a charming woman, she spat out a mouthful of red fog at Xu Qing.
This fog contained intense emotions of desire. Once one was tainted by it, it would cause one’s emotions to go out of control and cause them to have the intention of submitting to her.
This was also the spell she was famous for. Back then, she had relied on this spell to enslave many experts of the same realm.
However, today, she met Xu Qing.
Xu Qing didn’t even look at it. He lifted his right hand and pointed. Immediately, an image of the Purple Moon formed on the red fog.
At the next instant, the red fog churned, emitting extremely intense fluctuations before exploding. The middle-aged woman’s expression changed drastically. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned purple from the backlash.
Xu Qing didn’t stop and instantly caught up to the four-armed nascent soul.
“Why are you only targeting me!!” This four-armed nascent soul screamed in despair.
Xu Qing didn’t have the time to determine if the other party’s voice contained any sound spells. Hence, he immediately used morning glow on it before patting it lightly.
The four-armed nascent soul’s eyes widened. It couldn’t dodge at all and shattered into pieces.
At the same time, the Golden Crow in the sky let out a cry and swallowed the scaled Nascent Soul cultivator. All the cultivators who heard the sound of chewing felt their hearts tremble.
The deaths of the two Nascent Soul cultivators was a huge impact to their morale. They immediately lost any thoughts of fighting and fled crazily.
They were originally a motley crew, so it was only right for them to escape when their battle intent was gone.
Moreover, Xu Qing’s poison continued to spread and reap the lives of the invading cultivators. Hence, in their hearts, Xu Qing was an evil fiend that was even more savage than them.
The middle-aged female cultivator who had made several attempts to attack but was thwarted by Xu Qing also took a step back. Her expression turned solemn.
She was horrified.
She could naturally tell that the person in front of her wasn’t at the Nascent Soul realm and was only at the pseudo-Nascent Soul realm. However, the terrifying combat strength he displayed had already reached an unbelievable level. She had never encountered or heard of such a person in her life.
Ning Yan was also fighting on the battlefield. He shivered when he saw this scene.
“How is this a Golden Core… This strength is too perverted!!”
After killing the four-armed nonhuman, Xu Qing looked at the middle-aged woman. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. The instant he was about to chase after her, his expression suddenly turned grim.
He directly retreated to Ning Yan’s side. Before Ning Yan could react, Xu Qing patted his stomach with familiarity.
Ning Yan’s Daoist robe instantly split open, revealing the emerald-green vine he had carefully hidden inside. Xu Qing swiftly seized hold of it.
Ning Yan was stunned.
At the same time, at the place Xu Qing was at earlier, the void instantly collapsed. A black palm appeared out of thin air and pressed down.
Although the sneak attack failed, the energy fluctuations it stirred up spread out in all directions with a terrifying might. A black figure with two wings walked out and emitted the energy of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He immediately moved, leaving behind an afterimage and arriving before Xu Qing.
“Die!”
Almost at the instant the black figure arrived, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He grabbed the vine and used Ning Yan’s body as a shield.
When the black figure struck Ning Yan, a muffled groan came out of his mouth in the next moment. The black figure was sent flying and looked at Ning Yan in disbelief.
Ning Yan was unscathed.
At that moment, Ning Yan even forgot to scream. He turned his head and foolishly looked at the vine on his stomach. He then lifted his head and stared blankly at Xu Qing, his eyes completely wide open.
He then let out an earth-shattering and tragic cry.
“You, you, you… That was really you!!!”
