Chapter 1278: Meeting the Fiend

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time flowed by and another three days passed.

In these three days, the storm caused by Xu Qing had completely spread throughout the Mountains and Seas Region. Unless it was some lone wolves or people who were trapped in some situations, almost everyone had heard about Xu Qing and Ji Dongzis matter.

Regarding Ji Dongzi, the publicly acknowledged second ranked heavens chosen of the current generation of all the races of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, the Flame Moon cultivators directly or indirectly knew of his terrifying combat strength.

Hence, after knowing that Xu Qing actually used such a method to challenge Ji Dongzi, most cultivators didnt think highly of Xu Qing.

Even though Xu Qing had appeared in an extremely domineering manner this time around, he still couldnt change the bias of those cultivators.

After all, two months ago, Ji Dongzi spread the news to look for Xu Qing. After that, he announced that Xu Qing had died. Although Xu Qing didnt die, the period of time he disappeared was enough to show the outcome of the battle between the two of them.

Now that there was a two-month gap, so what?

However, what made people feel strange was that there was actually no news of Ji Dongzi responding to Xu Qing, nor did he appear. In fact, very few cultivators knew of Ji Dongzis whereabouts.

This was a little thought-provoking and couldnt help but cause ones imagination to run wild.

As for the hundred-odd Sie Race and Baize Race cultivators tied behind Xu Qing, countless guesses rose in their minds as they let out weak cries.

They had done their best. Over the past few days, they had transmitted their voices to everyone they could.

However, not only did Ji Dongzi not come, but none of the people they sent voice transmissions to appeared.

After all... no one was stupid. They wouldnt sacrifice their lives to save someone unless they had a certain level of confidence.

For example, now.

It was noon. This was the time of the day when the sunlight was the most intense in the Mountains and Seas Region. Yang qi rose and all dark and bizarre beasts would usually rest during this period.

The intense sunlight illuminated everything with clarity, brightening the entire world. As he traveled through the air, Xu Qing halted, gazing towards the horizon.

As he stared, the hundreds of cultivators who were screaming behind him immediately fell silent. All of them looked over nervously and expectantly.

In their eyes, there were four rainbows cutting through the sky, rushing over as though they wanted to tear the sky apart.

Within these four streaks of light, each contained a formidable cultivator with a remarkable presence and formidable cultivation.

Three of them were from the Sie Race. Their expressions were gloomy and contained killing intent.

The last person was from the Baize Race. His body was burly like a small mountain and emitted dense qi and blood energy. His heartbeat was like muffled thunder, giving off a feeling that he was unrivaled!

What was even more astonishing was that the four of them had acquired impressive mounts.

The Baize Race cultivator had a winged giant python, ferocious and menacing, capable of soaring through the clouds.

As for the mounts of the three Sie Race cultivators, they were each unique. One had the head of a lion and the body of a wolf, exuding a soul-captivating aura. The other was a turtle shell elephant that gave off a feeling of boundless strength.

The last one was a terrifying ghostly creature, shrouded in darkness and eerie in form.

These four mounts strengthened their combat strength quite a bit. Their auras spread through the sky, dyeing the sky pitch-black, swirling and spreading like a fog.

The moment they saw them clearly, the hundred or so cultivators tied up by the soul threads behind Xu Qing instantly became excited. They had naturally seen the heavens chosen of their race before.

Those three Sie cultivators were the strongest heavens chosen of the Sie Race in the second segment of the Grand Hunt. They were only at the second stage of Nihility but they possessed combat strength comparable to the fourth stage of Nihility.

Although they couldnt be compared to a peerless existence like Ji Dongzi, they would be considered heavens chosen in other races as well.

As for the burly youth from the Baize Race, his body was comparable to a fourth stage Nihility cultivator. His status was even nobler as he was the second son of the Baize Races patriarch!

After the four of them received the cries for help from their clansmen and knew about the storm Xu Qing had caused, they chose to join forces and arrived at this moment.

They had taken so long to appear which meant that they had made ample preparations and were very confident.

Hence, the moment they appeared, the four of them attacked Xu Qing immediately.

The fastest was the young master of the Baize Race. This burly youth exuded a fierce demeanor, and the vital energy emanating from his body seemed to possess a suppressive force..

The instant he got close, he performed a series of hand seals with both hands and waved them fiercely. Immediately, crackling sounds rang out from the void around Xu Qing, forming countless cracks, as though they were about to be torn apart together, to be torn apart together with him.

The power of rules and traces of laws collapsed at that moment, only to reassemble into the Dao belonging to the Baize cultivator.

Immediately after, the third eye on his forehead opened and emitted a red light that enveloped his entire body, transforming into a gigantic blood-red figure behind him.

The giant swung two terrifyingly huge hammers, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, and the winds to surge. With immense force, it descended upon Xu Qing.

At the same time, the mount of the Baize cultivator opened its mouth and ferociously bit at Xu Qing.

In the distance, the Sie Race cultivator riding the ghostly creature instantly appeared behind Xu Qing, blocking the escape paths he might choose. He performed a series of hand seals with both hands while chanting.

Countless ghosts rushed out of his body, forming a spirit sea. Not only did they block Xu Qings escape route, but they also sealed his surroundings.

As for the other two cultivators, one appeared above Xu Qing and the other below.

The cultivator who appeared above didnt use his divine ability but instead lit a red candle.

Divine binding!

Instantly, an image of Xu Qing appeared within the burning wick.

As for the cultivator below Xu Qing, he performed a series of hand seals while sitting cross-legged. His entire body began to rot as he activated a mysterious curse. Gray light that could taint the soul emitted from his body and erupted toward Xu Qing.

At this moment, the combined assault of these four individuals could be likened to an overwhelming force: the Baize cultivator attacked head-on, one Sie cultivator sealed all directions preventing Xu Qings escape, another used a special treasure to suppress Xu Qings physical body, making it difficult for him to resist, while the last used a curse which contaminated Xu Qings soul.

In addition, the mounts of these three cultivators also rushed straight for Xu Qing.

At the same time, in the clouds that were rolling back in the distant horizon, there was a figure that was faintly discernible. It was calmly walking over.

Although this persons aura wasnt as good as Ji Dongzis, the difference wasnt much.

Due to the clouds and mist lingering around the figure, its exact appearance couldnt be seen clearly. However, its domineering aura was still extremely obvious.

However, for some reason, as this mysterious cultivator walked, they instantly stopped in the clouds.

They didnt dare to place their foot down!

Their expression, which was blurry due to the clouds, seemed to reveal a hint of shock and horror. The domineering aura also dissipated.

While this cultivator paused, gray fog rose in Xu Qings eyes.

At the next instant, a massive amount of gray fog erupted from his body and spread in all directions, instantly affecting an area of 10,000 feet, enveloping the hundred cultivators behind him and the four rescuers.

The incoming heavy hammers were directly affected, and so were the surrounding seals.

The greatest changes were in the four mounts. Their bodies trembled and they actually changed sides. They revealed unprecedented cruelty toward their respective masters and pounced over fiercely.

Xu Qings expression was calm. He lifted his head and looked at the Sie Race cultivator who was holding the red candle.

The instant their gazes met, Xu Qing walked toward him.

The mind of the Sie Race cultivator rumbled. The candle in his hand changed rapidly from its original slow burning state, as though it had received a huge stimulation. It instantly became intense. The entire candle only lasted for two breaths of time...

The candle melted fully!

The moment it was extinguished, the Sie Race cultivator was about to retreat but it was too late.

Xu Qings figure appeared in front of him. He lifted his right hand and grabbed the cultivators neck. Amidst waves of mournful wails, countless gray fog flowed through his seven orifices and all the pores on his body, crazily surging into the body of the Sie Race cultivator.

His body trembled and he let out miserable screams. His cultivation base was rejected and his body rotted until his body and soul were destroyed.

Xu Qing let go and disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared, he was in front of the Sie Race cultivator who had used the sealing technique. This cultivator was retreating with a horrified expression. He could sense that Xu Qing definitely wasnt displaying the power of Nihility.

He felt that this was already infinitely close to the Soul Accumulation realm!

This discovery instantly caused the fear in his heart to reach its peak.

Hence, he shouted anxiously.

Brother Tian Mo, you...

However, his lifespan wasnt enough to support him to finish speaking completely. At the next moment, his body exploded into pieces and countless soul threads flew out.

Xu Qing left and walked toward the last Sie Race cultivator below.

This cultivator trembled and wanted to leave. However, the gray fog had a karmic pull and he couldnt leave. When he saw Xu Qing walking over, his anxious expression was filled with madness as he quickly cast a large number of curses.

Die, die, die!!

Curses spread out from his body. The price was that his body kept withering and melting.

However, after these curses reached Xu Qings body, they were like an ox entering the sea. They didnt cause any waves or obstruct him at all. At the next moment, Xu Qing calmly arrived in front of the Sie Race cultivator.

Amidst this persons bitterness and despair, his life was reaped.

Finally, Xu Qing turned and took a step toward the rapidly retreating Baize young master.

The instant he landed, he arrived in front of the blood-red giant formed by the Baize cultivator. He ignored the heavy hammers and walked past, appearing in front of the Baize young master whose expression had changed drastically.

The Baize young masters heart rumbled with extreme horror. The appearance of the gray fog shocked him and disrupted all their arrangements. As for the person they had prepared as a backup, he actually didnt appear.

The three heavens chosen of Sie Race had died so simply. The huge gap between them almost made him collapse.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!!

Didnt they say that he was chased by Ji Dongzi during their battle? This guy... the strength he is displaying now is even more terrifying than Ji Dongzis!

And this gray fog... This is the Jiuli fog. Why is it being released by him... Are the changes in the Jiuli related to him?!

Countless thoughts erupted uncontrollably. As Xu Qing walked past him, all the gray fog gushed into the body of the Baize cultivator. Amidst the extremely miserable wails, the body and soul of the Baize young master were destroyed.

The gray fog disappeared.

At the same time, the hundred or so cultivators bound by the soul threads disappeared. They were no longer of any value and all of them died.

In the sky, where the gray fog had covered earlier, Xu Qing was the only one bathing in the dense sunlight.

He looked at the clouds in the distance and calmly spoke.

Tian Mozi.

The clouds and fog trembled and dissipated very quickly. A young cultivator from the Flame Moon Race immediately walked out.

He was none other than Tian Mozi, who was at the third stage of Nihility but possessed the combat strength of the perfected Nihility Realm. He ranked fourth in the Flame Moon Races current generation and was the top talent of this generation within the jurisdiction of the Star Flame High God.

He had once fought against Tuoshi Shan and defeated him. From this, one could see how outstanding his combat strength was.

Right now, however, his expression was extremely respectful. He cupped his fists toward Xu Qing and bowed respectfully.

Tian Mozi greets Brother Xu!

Tian Mo came here today to specially deliver two big gifts to Brother Xu.

Firstly, its these four slaves to appease Brother Xus anger.

Secondly, its about Ji Dongzis whereabouts! Under my close investigation, Ive already found him for Brother Xu!

As he spoke, Tian Mozi immediately respectfully handed over the jade slip he had just made..
