Chapter 294 - 294 Dancing in the Palm of His Hand

294 Dancing in the Palm of His Hand

Xu Qing walked into the house.

That cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race was lying there with his limbs spread out. All the flesh in his body was gone. Other than his intact head, there was only a skeleton left.

However, he wasn’t dead yet. A red light swam on his bones, supporting his life.

Clearly, Chen Feiyuan had a special method that let him vent his anger while keeping the bizarre fiend alive. When Xu Qing walked over, the cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing listlessly.

Xu Qing lifted his hand and pressed down on the other party’s forehead. Golden Crow Refines All Life instantly started absorbing. As the other party’s head trembled, more origin power was absorbed and fused into Xu Qing’s body.

At the next instant, the bizarre fiend cultivator died.

At the same time, outside the Purple Earth capital, in a mass grave, an explosion occurred. The ground was blasted open by a huge force, and soil and shattered bones scattered in all directions. A middle-aged man with disheveled hair slowly walked out.

His expression was malevolent and his eyes revealed madness. However, in the depths of that madness, there was unprecedented fear.

“All of them are perverts!”

This burly dude was none other than the cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race that was known to be undying!

This body was a relatively perfect body that he had spent some price to nurture in advance and let it sleep until now. It could completely display his three fires cultivation.

Originally, he didn’t want to use this body because once this body died, it would affect him as well. However, he had no choice now.

He didn’t dare to stay in the city anymore.

Regardless of whether it was within the eight great families or outside, he felt that the city was very dangerous. The other party was pursuing him like the marrow sticking to the bones, causing his heart to tremble. In particular, that bizarre entity caused him to feel an unprecedented sense of danger.

To a certain extent, that bizarre entity was similar to him. This allowed this bizarre fiend to experience the feelings of the people he had assassinated.

It was everywhere!

At the thought of this, the burly dude’s body trembled. He quickly looked around and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he was already far away from the Purple Earth Imperial Capital.

“They shouldn’t find me so quickly this time, especially at such a distance. I might be able to escape.”

Even now, he still didn’t know the other party’s identity. His expression was gloomy as he fled rapidly. He even activated his life fires and entered the Mystic Brilliance Form, increasing his speed.

“After the first time he killed me, he used a night to find me. The second time was two hours, the third time was an hour…”

Five minutes later, the expression of the burly man suddenly changed. When he turned his head, he saw a rainbow in the distant horizon whistling toward him with an earth-shattering aura.

The figure in the rainbow looked like a middle-aged man. There seemed to be a continent burning in his body and his aura rumbled in all directions, as though it could suppress everything.

Even with his three fires cultivation, his eyes still stung when he took a look.

“So fast!”

Unprecedented horror caused the burly dude to gasp. He had made a judgment about Xu Qing, but from what he saw now, he discovered that all his judgments were inaccurate.

The aura the other party displayed at this moment gave him a feeling that it surpassed three fires. That was…

“Four fires?”

Sweat broke out on the burly dude’s forehead. He didn’t hesitate at all to burn the three balls of life fire in his body with all his might. His speed soared explosively as he ran crazily into the distance.

He didn’t guess wrongly. Xu Qing, who was chasing after him, indeed possessed the power of four flames!

The ignition of the life lantern allowed Xu Qing to possess the combat strength of two fires when he had just formed one life fire. When he formed the second ball of life fire rose, his combat strength reached three fires. With the enhancement from Golden Crow Refines All Life, his combat strength was naturally comparable to four fires!

The reason why he was able to catch up to the bizarre fiend so quickly was because he no longer needed the shadow to guide him.

As the origin source absorbed by Golden Crow Refines All Life fused into Xu Qing’s body, the bizarre fiend cultivator was like a torch in the night in Xu Qing’s perception.

As such, the instant the other party revived, he had already sensed it and rushed over rapidly. He arrived here in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

The instant he saw the other party, the killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes intensified.

His speed was so fast that everything was slow in his eyes. The burly dude’s speed was the same. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing arrived in front of him and directly slapped down.

The burly dude was violently slammed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The ground caved in. Just as the burly dude was about to get up, Xu Qing neared him and kicked his chest.

The burly dude spurted out blood again. When his body rolled back, Xu Qing had already taken out a dagger and stabbed him.

He kept on stabbing again and again. He then forcefully ripped off the burly dude’s right arm before smashing his forehead.

The burly dude let out a blood-curdling scream as his skull shattered. He was already in an extremely miserable state. In front of Xu Qing, the power of three fires had no chance of retaliating. The horror and despair in his eyes also reached the extreme.

They then turned into madness as he roared at the sky. The moment Xu Qing got close, he charged forward and tried to detonate his life fires.

However, before the aura of its destruction spread out, the shadow had long fused into its body and pounced at the three balls of life fire.

In an instant, the volcano in the burly dude’s body was extinguished.

His body was forcefully broken from the Mystic Brilliance Form, causing a huge backlash. This caused many of his magic apertures to collapse.

His entire body was badly mangled as he fell to the ground.

The horror in his eyes grew even more intense. As though he had guessed the torture waiting for him, he waved his left hand that could still move and slapped his forehead, wanting to commit suicide.

However, a black iron stick instantly appeared and pierced into his raised left hand.

Xu Qing walked toward him with eyes filled with killing intent. Behind him, there was a cry as the Golden Crow appeared. It danced in the sky before pouncing on him and sucking fiercely.

The bizarre fiend cultivator’s body trembled violently. The instant his mind was shaken, the qi and blood in his entire body erupted. It also contained his origin power and was swallowed by the Golden Crow.

After that, what welcomed him was Xu Qing’s fingers piercing into his eyes, shattering his eyeball and destroying his head.

The moment before he died, a voice that was like a nightmare to him calmly rang out in his ears.

“Don’t be so quick to give me the answer I want. I still want to play a few more times. We will see each other in a while.”

At the next instant, in a wilderness outside Purple Earth city, a rabbit suddenly jumped up from the bush. Its speed was extremely fast and it spared no expense to run into the distance.

However, in just the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, a black dot appeared in the sky. This black dot headed straight for the rabbit at an astonishing speed.

It was a vulture. It instantly neared the rabbit but didn’t grab it. Instead, it collided with the rabbit, causing it to be badly mangled. Before it perished together, the vulture let out a sinister voice.

“Hello.”

The rabbit died.

In the blink of an eye, at another location, a snake slowly climbed under the withered tree.

However, in less than eight minutes, a black iron stick whistled from afar and instantly pierced through the snake, pinning it to the ground.

The snake died with lingering fear in its eyes. After that, an eagle that was flying in the sky paused for a moment before speeding up.

What awaited it was the Golden Crow which immediately devoured it.

Such scenes continued to play out in this wilderness.

Even though this bizarre fiend cultivator had displayed his talent to the extreme and used one host after another to try to escape, what awaited him was either the black iron stick that suddenly arrived, various creatures that had been parasitized, or Xu Qing.

All of this caused his mind to be on the verge of collapse. Moreover, dying time and time again had exhausted him. Although the consumption wasn’t great, he couldn’t withstand these frequent deaths.

This was especially so when he died to Xu Qing. Every time he died, he would feel that he was missing something important. In the end, when he revived in a coyote, he discovered that he didn’t fuse into it immediately. Instead, there were some obstructions. He panicked.

“He’s absorbing my talent!!”

This discovery caused waves of emotions to surge in his mind.

Hence, the instant Xu Qing grabbed it again and was about to absorb and refine it, he hurriedly spoke.

“I’ll die completely in three times at most. If I die, you won’t be able to find the mastermind!!”

What welcomed him was Xu Qing’s palm strike.

With a boom, the coyote collapsed and the wisp of origin energy before it died was absorbed by the Golden Crow.

Thirty breaths later, in the sky, a crow hurriedly spoke.

“You’re from the Seven Blood Eyes. I can sense the energy of your cultivation art. I can reveal the mastermind, but I want to see Lord Sixth. I’ll only tell him!!”

The next instant, the black iron stick pierced through it. Xu Qing looked at the crow’s corpse expressionlessly. After sensing again, he headed straight for the ground. His right foot stomped fiercely on the ground and the ground instantly split open, revealing a gap in which a pangolin was hiding.

The pangolin trembled and despair appeared in its eyes as it transmitted a frenzied divine sense.

“Come, kill me. Don’t even think about finding out the answer after I die. Bring me to see Lord Sixth. I’ll only tell him!!”

Xu Qing slapped it fiercely.

The pangolin had a crazed expression. Although its mind was about to collapse and the danger of death enveloped it like never before, it still didn’t speak.

Xu Qing stopped slapping it. He held it in front of him and stared coldly.

Only after a long while did Xu Qing retract his gaze. He grabbed the pangolin and walked toward the teleportation point that the captain had personally opened for him. That place wasn’t far from here and it didn’t take long for Xu Qing to reach it.

This place was a valley. Xu Qing walked in expressionlessly. There was an abandoned teleportation array here. Standing on it, Xu Qing took out his identity token and pressed it, waiting silently.

Not long later, the teleportation array started shining.

However, the instant the teleportation array was activated, the pangolin in Xu Qing’s hand suddenly trembled. Its body withered and it died. At the same time that it died, the teleportation array shone as though the teleportation had completed. Someone teleported away before Xu Qing.

It was that bizarre fiend cultivator. He clearly had laid a trap earlier. His goal was to make use of the teleportation array to escape.

Moreover, it was unknown what method he used, but it caused the location of his teleportation to be blurry. Outsiders couldn’t know the exact location.

A moment later, the teleportation light dissipated. Xu Qing was still inside.

The other party had clearly escaped, but Xu Qing’s expression didn’t show the slightest surprise or anger. His gaze was calm as he lowered his head and looked at the pangolin’s corpse in his hand, tossing it to the side.

He closed his eyes and started sensing. After a moment, Xu Qing opened his eyes, revealing a deep glint.

“I’m in a hurry. I hope you can meet the person you’re meeting soon.”
