Chapter 233 - 233 Fishing Out The Fiend

233 Fishing Out The Fiend

Just like that, Xu Qing’s battle results were extremely good. The total number of kills had reached over 3,000, and most of it was thanks to the shadow.

At this moment, Xu Qing didn’t dare to continue farming results. He felt that it was okay now.

He was worried that it would be too fake if he continued to do this. He checked the mission rankings and saw that the sect had really killed a lot. The highest ranked had more than 10,000 kills, and there were seven to eight people with above 7,000 kills. As for 5,000 kills, there were many with this record.

However, Xu Qing felt that these people had some unique methods or only killed Qi Condensation cultivators. Otherwise, this number was impossible. It was too exaggerated.

After all, the Sea Corpse Race wasn’t that weak. Moreover, when Xu Qing looked at the name of the person ranked first and discovered that it was Wu Jianwu, he was speechless.

He felt that there was a high chance that the result was falsified. With this person around, Xu Qing felt that even if they investigated the results, they wouldn’t investigate him. After all, his result adjustments were reasonable, while these people were going overboard with it.

Of course, there were also truly able people. Xu Qing saw that the person ranked second was the second highness and her kills numbered more than 8,000.

Looking at the rankings, Xu Qing had a faint feeling that perhaps the sect was willing to see such battle results in the rankings even if they were fake. Firstly, it could inspire others. Secondly, the comparison could stimulate other disciples to work harder. Thirdly, it could also reveal the might of the Seven Blood Eyes and intimidate everyone.

Xu Qing thought for a while but still gave up on farming battle results. He then began to search for the next mission that was suitable for him. He was a little tired now and planned to find a simpler mission.

Very soon, Xu Qing’s gaze locked onto an escort mission.

The cultivators of the Second Peak mainly focused on alchemy, and alchemy pills didn’t only have healing and cultivation improvement effects. There were also poisonous pills and all kinds of medicine. Among them, there was one known as the forbidden pill.

The so-called forbidden pill was usually prepared for war. Once used in war, its strange might was difficult to deal with. It possessed many types of large-scale killing power that would cause fear in others.

It contained mutation, attraction, and all kinds of astonishing astronomical phenomena. The abilities of each forbidden pill were different, and the method of activation was also different.

Generally speaking, forbidden pills would activate immediately.

Hence, most of them were semi-finished products that had been refined in the sect, and then the cultivators would complete them in some special areas on the battlefield.

The first choice for the Second Peak cultivators to finish the forbidden pills were the many small archipelagos around Merfolk Island due to them containing many volcanic craters.

However, the Sea Corpse Race also attached great importance to this and had divided some of their combat strength to kill the Second Peak cultivators in the archipelagos.

That was why there was this urgent mission. It was to recruit Foundation Building cultivators to head there. While stalling for time, they would also escort the Second Peak’s cultivators as soon as possible.

The mission reward was very generous as it gave 300,000 spirit stones.

After Xu Qing saw this, he was quite tempted. This kind of escort mission was more organized than entering the main battlefield to fight. As Xu Qing pondered, more than half of the 20 Foundation Building cultivators needed for the mission were filled.

Xu Qing didn’t hesitate and immediately accepted the mission.

As the mission was accepted, a portion of the spirit stones was first recorded in his token. He was also given the teleportation coordinates and instructions to set off immediately.

Xu Qing swept his gaze over and headed straight for the teleportation array. After entering the coordinates, his figure instantly disappeared under the cover of the array’s light.

In the southern part of the merfolk island, on the vast sea, there was a series of small pearl-like islands. These islands had been formed for a long time. Because they were too small and there were volcanic craters, they were not suitable for living.

On the nautical chart of the Seven Blood Eyes, these islands were known as the Pearl Islands.

At that moment, on the Pearl Islands, volcanoes were erupting one after another, causing countless black-colored volcanic ashes to fall like black snow. Accompanied by red lava, they were like rain that fell on the entire Pearl Islands.

The black and dry snow and the hot and red rain soaked the Pearl Islands into a scene of the netherworld.

Around the Pearl Islands, huge waves surged into the sky. Many figures walked out of the sea and quickly landed on the shore.

These figures who walked out of the sea were all from the Sea Corpse Race.

As they landed on the island, the slaughter and intense battle immediately intensified. Explosions and shouts rang out in all directions, and the fluctuations of magic power and the aura of anomalous substances were also extremely intense.

On one of the islands, a large number of Sea Corpse Race cultivators had already killed their way to the core area.

This was a valley and the ground was covered in thick black volcanic ash. Occasionally, hot magma would fall, causing everyone in the valley to have no choice but to activate their protective barriers.

These people were all Seven Blood Eyes disciples, and most of them were from the Second Peak. All of them had anxious expressions as they kept looking at the

Fifth Peak’s disciples who were doing their best to repair the array formations not far away.

Because there was a volcano on this island, the Second Peak’s disciples were ordered to come here and borrow the earth fire to bury the forbidden pills. However, the Sea Corpse Race’s arrival was abrupt and ferocious. They had just buried the forbidden pills when they had no choice but to move before they could adjust them.

With the appearance of the Sea Corpse Race’s army, all the array formations here were affected. They had no way to leave. It was as though the Sea Corpse Race planned to use the Pearl Islands as a trap and a breakthrough point.

This was indeed the case. The Sea Corpse Race’s troops were divided into two groups. The army that was heading to the merfolk island was only feigning attacks to restrain them. This place was the main point. They were planning to use the Pearl Islands as the frontline command center and occupy this place to resist the Seven Blood Eyes.

Of course, if the Seven Blood Eyes army came to save these Pearl Islands, the Sea Corpse Race could turn the feint attack on the merfolk islands into a real battle at any time.

All the teleportation arrays on these islands were affected. Some of them were destroyed, while some were preserved by the Sea Corpse Race cultivators for personal reasons.

They were waiting there for the Seven Blood Eyes’ cultivators to teleport over and kill them to obtain contribution points.

In the northwest of this island, in a deep pit some distance away from the core valley, a teleportation array was flickering. Around this teleportation array were dozens of Sea Corpse Race cultivators.

The leader was an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator. He was a three-eyed nonhuman. He looked at the shining array formation and his gaze flickered as he shouted in a low voice.

“Everyone, be prepared and carefully detect the fluctuations of magic power. If the person who is teleporting is a life fire cultivator, destroy the teleportation array immediately. I hope that the person who came is just an ordinary one so that I can gain a good contribution.”

The Sea Corpse Race Foundation Building cultivator stared at the shining teleportation array with anticipation.

In this battle, because of the unexpected breakthrough of the Seven Blood Eyes’ ancestor and his sudden intrusion, the Sea Corpse Race’s ancestor was heavily injured.

The entire Sea Corpse Race was in chaos. If not for the awakening of a few old antiques who were in deep sleep, the Sea Corpse Race would probably have faced a calamity.

In the subsequent battles, after the merfolk island was occupied by the Seven Blood Eyes and became the frontline command center, the Sea Corpse Race’s many counterattacks ended in failure. At this critical moment, in order to win, the upper echelons of the Sea Corpse Race didn’t hesitate to take out a large number of resources and even rewarded some opportunities to advance their lives.

As long as one obtained a certain amount of contribution points, they could exchange for these resources and opportunities. Hence, the Sea Corpse Race cultivators were much more active and excited.

At that moment, the Sea Corpse Race cultivator beside the teleportation array was the same. However, he was very cautious. He was afraid that the person who would arrive would be a Foundation Building cultivator who had the Mystic Brilliance Form, so he had brought some magic tools to detect the energy fluctuations.

Beside him was a huge eyeball. This eyeball had seven to eight tentacles that burrowed into the glabellas of seven to eight Sea Corpse Race cultivators at the Perfected Qi Condensation Realm. With their nourishment, it was paying close attention to the teleportation array.

Very soon, the eyeball emitted a white light.

Seeing this light, the Foundation Building cultivator of the Sea Corpse Race relaxed. A bloodthirsty expression appeared on his face and he was about to rush over. However, at the next instant, as the teleportation array shone, before the figure inside could be clearly revealed, a black light whistled out of the array.

It instantly reached the Sea Corpse Race Foundation Building cultivator.

The expression of the Foundation Building cultivator changed and he quickly retreated. However, the black light suddenly sped up, doubling its speed. There was also the sound of a bell that shook his soul, causing the Sea Corpse Race cultivator’s body to pause.

At the next moment, the black light pierced through the chest of the Sea Corpse Race Foundation Building cultivator.

At the same time, as the figure in the teleportation array rapidly appeared, the eye that was observing the array at the side suddenly shone. It was no longer white but red.

“Red magic power! Hurry up and destroy the teleportation array!” The injured Foundation Building cultivator had a flustered expression. The instant he spoke, the expressions of the other Sea Corpse Race cultivators in the surroundings also changed. They attacked in unison, wanting to destroy the teleportation array.

However, at this moment, a roar rang out from the teleportation array. A plesiosaur rushed out of the rapidly forming figure. As soon as it appeared, its body expanded quickly and grew to a thousand feet in size, enveloping the teleportation array.

Its powerful body blocked all the spells in the surroundings, allowing the teleportation to be successfully completed without interference.

The figure in the teleportation array became clearer at this moment.

It was Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t leave the teleportation array immediately. He stood there and coldly looked at his surroundings.

He saw the shocked Foundation Building cultivator and the dozen or so Qi Condensation cultivators of the Sea Corpse Race in the surroundings.

He also noticed that he was near a small crater. As for the sneak attacks, although Xu Qing didn’t predict it in advance, he was already used to being vigilant.

Moreover, he had used this method to plot against others before, so how could he not be careful?

Xu Qing retracted his gaze. The volcano in his body suddenly erupted and he directly activated the Mystic Brilliance Form.

As the flames on his body rose and the terrifying high temperature spread, everything in the surroundings distorted. The eyeball that could sense magic power directly exploded, and the seven to eight Qi Condensation members of the Sea Corpse Race who were connected to it screamed miserably and spat out blood as they fell to the ground.

The other Qi Condensation cultivators of the Sea Corpse Race in the surroundings also let out blood-curdling cries. Due to the huge difference in cultivation levels between the two sides, Xu Qing was already an existence that couldn’t be looked at directly. It was just like how Xu Qing could not look at the Third Elder when he was at Qi Condensation.

Although he wasn’t the Third Elder, these Qi Condensation Sea Corpse Race members weren’t like him back then.

In reality, the feeling wasn’t much different. At that moment, mournful cries rang out in the surroundings. Xu Qing took a step forward. His speed was so fast that he instantly approached the Foundation Building cultivator who had been pierced by the black iron stick.

Amidst this person’s horrified expression, Xu Qing pressed down on the top of his head. A large amount of black fire instantly erupted and covered the cultivator, rapidly devouring him.

The Sea Corpse Race cultivator wanted to struggle, but the aura of Xu Qing’s life lantern formed a terrifying suppression, causing the eyes of the Foundation Building Sea Corpse Race cultivator who didn’t have life fire to widen. The magic apertures in his body rumbled and his cultivation base instantly became chaotic. It was difficult for him to resist Xu Qing’s black fiendish fire as it surged into his body.

A blood-curdling scream rang out.

In reality, he wasn’t weak. If it was before Xu Qing activated his life fire, although he could win against this person, he would have to go all out. But now, everything was finished in an instant.

To Xu Qing, Foundation Building cultivators who hadn’t formed their life fire were just easy prey no matter what race they were.
