769 The Disciple of the Crown Prince, Bai Xiaozhuo (2)
Xu Qing had the right to use it once. The Palace Master had given this authority to him.
As soon as the Taboo appeared, all the mortals in the city were shocked. The cultivators in the square felt waves of emotions rising in their hearts. The golden net was rapidly falling and continuously shrinking as it headed for the severed arm.
The old servants expression changed again and he retreated even faster.
However, that golden net didnt cause any damage to him. This was because to Xu Qing, it wasnt worth it to use the one-time use opportunity of the Taboo magic treasure on this old servant.
In that instant, under everyones gaze, the golden net covered the severed arm.
Xu Qing then walked out of the severed arm. His face was pale and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. His chest caved in and intense pain spread throughout his body. Even with the protection of the severed arm, he was still seriously injured.
However, he still stood there on the severed arm, welcoming the incoming golden net.
In the blink of an eye, the golden net covered his figure, forming a lump of golden flames that protected him.
From afar, compared to the world, this flame seemed to be just a sprout. It was like a spark, insignificant and powerless.
Xu Qing looked around with rising emotional fluctuations.
He knew that the moment he walked out just now, he had already pierced through the sky of Fenghai County.
And those who broke through the sky must bear its weight.
He hadnt expected the Deputy Palace Master and the deacons to step forward for him. Moreover, he didnt summon Qingqin.
However, they came forward one by one.
There were also more than 100,000 comrades. They were all looking at him with resolve in their eyes. They... believed in him.
Xu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He suddenly felt that he had more courage.
Among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators here, only 30% were Sword Holders. The remaining 70% came from the other two palaces and the Deputy Governors residence. Their expressions were filled with hesitation.
However, Xu Qing was no longer afraid.
Humans were like this. No matter how much they hesitated and weighed the pros and cons, once they threw caution to the wind, they would find that there was nothing to hold them back anymore.
It was a pity that the person who got close to him earlier wasnt the Deputy Governor but that old servant. He was unable to use his trump card, and had to change his plan.
The fourth-stage Nihility puppet was also out of his expectations.
I only have one chance...
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly. He needed to create another opportunity for the Deputy Governor to approach him.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked at the Deputy Governor.
Deputy Governor, since youre unwilling to admit your identity as Illuminate, Ill continue to call you Deputy Governor. Actually, if you want to take me down, theres no need to send anyone else. Youre a high and mighty Nihility, Im just a fake Nascent Soul cultivator. I dont think I can survive against you.
At this point, blood flowed out of the corner of Xu Qings mouth. However, he continued to speak.
Deputy Governor, Illuminates actions are extreme and likes blood-colored performances. Is what is happening here your blood-colored performance?
But I feel that its very lousy.
Xu Qing shook his head.
Whats bad isnt this performance but you. You even suppressed your heart and violated the principle of reason. You dont deserve to be called Illuminate.
The Deputy Governor calmly looked at Xu Qing. His expression didnt change at all as he calmly spoke.
With your contribution to Fenghai and your achievement of 100,000 ft light in the Emperors Heart Inquisition, I cant bear to kill you. Dont walk toward the wrong path and seek death.
When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled, his gaze calm.
With a cunning mind like yours, to be willing to talk so much to me, you must have seen through my clumsy words to lure you closer. Although Im not Illuminate, I feel that Illuminates straightforwardness is very good. Ill also be straightforward. I do have a way to kill you, as long as you get close to me.
So, Deputy Governor, are you afraid of a tiny fake Nascent Soul like me? Do you dare to get close?
I know that you dont dare to because you dont even dare to say your true identity and name. Xu Qing shook his head.
And who are you putting on this performance for? Crown Prince Purple Green? I think hell shake his head because you dare to do it but dont dare to admit it. So this is what Crown Prince Purple Greens people are like. I think Crown Prince Purple Green must be the same kind of character, no wonder he perished and couldnt rise to prominence.
Xu Qing smiled.
Or perhaps, its actually you who isnt worthy of following Crown Prince Purple Green?
The Deputy Governor remained calm throughout Xu Qings speed, but the last two sentences finally triggered a hint of fleeting coldness in his eyes.
The heart-slaying intensified a lot at this moment.
The Deputy Governor lifted his head and looked at the sky before speaking in a hoarse voice.
Its time for this farce to end. Seventh Highness, I apologize for this spectacle you had to witness.
The Seventh Prince didnt say anything and watched everything with a smile.
After the Deputy Governor finished speaking, he lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, another vortex appeared beside him. A fourth stage Nihility energy erupted from it. As the sound of footsteps rang out, a second puppet walked out.
It was the same armor, the same design, the same terrifying energy, and the same badly mangled flesh.
His appearance caused everyones hearts to tremble violently.
One puppet was already astonishing, but now, there was actually a second fourth stage Nihility puppet. Before everyone could calm down, the Deputy Governors voice echoed in the ears of countless mortals in the entire city.
Sword Holder Xu Qing is deluded, spreading rumors and causing turmoil. He has acted in a highly rebellious manner and is unworthy of the result of the heart inquisition. His title as Sword Holder shall be revoked and he is to be executed on the spot to restore peace and tranquility!
The moment the Deputy Governors voice spread in all directions, the second puppet stepped out.
