Chapter 333 - 333 Saber Slashes the Night Dove

333 Saber Slashes the Night Dove

Xu Qing headed straight for the place where the rescue signal had come from.

The sea of fire that burned everything seemed to give a different charm to his demonic handsome face.

In a short while, he reached the place.

His fire crown burned high, and the Golden Crow cried, bringing down lightning that blotted the sky.

The flames rose like a great wave, bringing with them endless might as they poured down on the fourth Night Dove stronghold.

A rumbling sound shook the area and the ground quaked as a sea of fire covered it. Many Night Dove cultivators who were trying to escape couldn’t even let out a scream before their bodies turned into ashes.

A large number of buildings collapsed one after another.

This place was located in the territory of the Fifth Peak. It was a three-story tower with a very large area. During the day, it sold array formations. Although it had nothing to do with the Fifth Peak, there were still some dealings in the dark.

As for whether the Fifth Peak knew that this tower was under Night Dove’s control, Xu Qing didn’t care. After tonight, this place would no longer exist.

As he arrived and the sea of fire swept past, the members of the Homicide Department who were surrounding this place were rejuvenated and bowed to Xu Qing.

In the distance, as the buildings collapsed and the sea of fire spread, two battlefields were especially conspicuous. One of the battlefields was filled with seven to eight deputy directors of the Homicide Department. They had jointly summoned the power of the sect’s array formation and were suppressing an elderly cultivator of Night Dove.

This old man wore a luxurious robe and his face was covered in brown spots. At that moment, his eyes were filled with shock and anger as he struggled with all his might. There were also three fires burning in his body and emitting a powerful aura.

Originally, he could instantly kill these several Fire Foundation Building deputy directors. However, combined with the power of the sect’s array formation, he was unable to kill them or escape from them so easily.

However, the deputy directors didn’t have much authority and the power of the array formation they summoned wasn’t enough to completely suppress the old man. Hence, they were in a stalemate and both sides suffered injuries. However, the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes were all wolf cubs who were living in the Gu-nurturing system. Their cruelty was related to their experience. Even when facing a disadvantage and even when they were injured, their ferocity was still dense.

On the other battlefield, four two fires directors of the Homicide Departments cooperated with hundreds of disciples to trap one person with the Fifth Peak’s formation.

This person wore a golden Daoist robe and looked to be in his late teens. He was handsome and had bright eyes that seemed to contain stars. There were nine swords spinning rapidly beside him, forming sword qi that shook the surroundings.

He had three life fires. He had already ignited them and his expression was filled with anger. He was trying to blast open the array formation and rush out to kill.

Moreover, the Seven Blood Eyes’ sect array formation was ineffective against this person.

As such, the Homicide Departments could only use the Fifth Peak’s formation and the support of hundreds of disciples to barely trap this person. However, it was obvious that they couldn’t hold on for long; all of their faces were pale, as though they were about to reach their limit.

Xu Qing’s arrival was like lightning striking this place. The rising sea of fire caused the expressions of the black-robed old man and the disciple of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect to change.

This was especially so for the latter. His mind shook as he knew Xu Qing and understood how terrifying the other party was.

After discovering that Xu Qing ignored the old man and headed straight for him, the sword qi emitted by the flying swords in his surroundings became a little chaotic.

“Xu Qing, I was just passing by. I have nothing to do with Night Dove!”

Almost at the same time that the youth spoke, the director of the Third Peak’s Homicide Department spoke rapidly.

“Director Xu, when we were encircling the stronghold earlier, this person was discussing with that Night Dove enemy leader. The content is unknown but he definitely wasn’t passing by!”

Xu Qing nodded and took a step forward. With a wave of his hand, the cultivators from the Homicide Department who were encircling the youth were dispersed by a gentle force and the array formation was instantly removed. As for Xu Qing, he walked toward the youth.

The expression of the youth changed drastically. His breathing was hurried as he spoke with a threatening voice.

“Xu Qing, Saintly Star is my senior brother. If you hurt me, he will definitely kill you. I…”

Before the youth could finish speaking, Xu Qing arrived in front of him expressionlessly. His speed was so fast that the flying swords didn’t even touch him.

This youth couldn’t even react. At the next instant, Xu Qing grabbed the youth’s neck and ruthlessly pressed him to the ground.

The ground shattered and blood flowed out of the seven orifices of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s youth. Two of the three balls of life fire in his body were directly extinguished. He was terrified and tried to control the flying swords in the surroundings, but their speed was too slow.

Xu Qing lifted the youth from the ground and threw him toward the back.

Cracking sounds rang out from the youth’s body as his bones and organs ruptured. As blood filled the air, the last ball of life fire in his body couldn’t withstand it and was extinguished.

When he landed on the ground, he was already heavily injured.

Without needing Xu Qing’s instructions, disciples of the Homicide Department immediately stepped forward and put seals on the youth.

At that moment, the Night Dove old man trapped by the few deputy directors used some life-saving method. A powerful fluctuation erupted from where he was and actually shook everyone away. He quickly took out a token and threw it out. As the token shattered, it caused the suppression from the sect’s array formation to loosen a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black-robed Night Dove rushed out. He was fleeing in the direction of the Seven Blood Eyes’ mountain peak.

Xu Qing turned his head and cast a cold glance.

He didn’t know who the other party was but he could sense that this person’s appearance was a disguise and not his true appearance. The jade slip that caused the sect’s array formation to loosen was an identity token.

Although the array formation’s suppression power summoned by the deputy directors had ordinary might, it wasn’t something that could be loosened so easily. To be able to do this, the only way was… the other party’s true identity was a Seven Blood Eyes’ disciple.

For Night Dove to exist in the Seven Blood Eyes’ main city, it was impossible for it to not have the involvement of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples. Xu Qing was aware of this, but didn’t plan to expose or dig up this matter.

It was meaningless.

Seeing that the other party’s figure was getting further and further away, Xu Qing calmly stepped into the air and looked into the distance. He lifted his right hand and at the next instant, the shadow of a huge heavenly saber manifested in the sky above his head.

This saber was majestic. The instant it appeared, the wind and the clouds stirred and waves of intense killing intent spread out, causing the expressions of everyone who sensed it to change.

This was especially so for some of the heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance who were paying attention to this battle. Someone immediately recognized it and exclaimed.

“Extreme Heaven Saber!”

As cries of surprise faintly appeared in all directions, Xu Qing looked at the fleeing three fires elderly Night Dove who was about to disappear from his sight and brought down his hand.

In an instant, the heavenly saber in the sky erupted with a piercing light. Amidst the resplendence, it slashed fiercely at the old man. Its speed was so fast that it seemed to cut through the stars and moon.

In the dark night, the resplendent light was like a dazzling star.

As the saber landed, the surroundings trembled.

The fleeing Night Dove old man had a look of horror on his face. The life fires in his body burned with all their strength as he tried to resist but it was useless. As the saber light flashed past his eyes, his entire body trembled violently. His eyes revealed despair and bitterness as he muttered.

“So you even know Extreme Heaven Saber…”

At the next moment, a bloodstain appeared between his brows. This bloodstain rapidly spread through his nose, his lips, his chin, his chest, and his lower parts.

A large amount of blood spurted out from the bloodstain as his body split in two. After that, the two halves of his body shattered again until they turned into minced meat and blood that splattered onto the ground.

With Xu Qing’s current cultivation, the Extreme Heaven Saber was much more powerful than before. With a single slash, it killed three fires. Everyone in the main city who saw it fell silent.

At the same time, not far from the place where the three-fire black-robed Night Dove had died, on the streets, a team of disciples from the Homicide Department was strictly investigating everyone who appeared at night.

Their mission was to capture and bring to justice those Night Dove members who had escaped from the destruction of their strongholds. Under the search of the all-encompassing net of the Homicide Departments, these Night Dove remnants had nowhere to hide.

However, even under curfew, there would still be ordinary people who had to go out for various reasons. For example, right now, in front of this team of Homicide Department disciples stood a trembling 13 to 14-year-old youth with a nervous expression.

This youth had just arrived at the Seven Blood Eyes yesterday. Today, he had passed the assessment and entered the Sixth Peak as a new disciple. Because the level of the token he held was not bad, he was arranged to report to the Sixth Peak’s Homicide Department.

Now, on the way back to his residence, he was stopped and examined by disciples of the Homicide Department. During the search, he heard a mournful cry from the sky and also saw Night Dove’s enemy leader who had been slashed in the air!

That saber strike shocked him physically and mentally. His eyes revealed deep desire and indescribable reverence.

“That’s the director of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department, Xu Qing. He’s a top figure in our entire Seven Blood Eyes’ Homicide Departments.”

Noticing the reverence in the eyes of the youth in front of him, the Homicide Department disciple who was searching him looked in the direction of the saber strike in the sky and spoke with fanaticism in his eyes. He then waved his hand at the surrounding team members.

“This little fellow is one of us. You guys, restrain yourselves. Don’t scare the little fellow. Let’s continue searching for the remnants of Night Dove. Lord Xu Qing’s order is that there shouldn’t be a single Night Dove in the main city before dawn!”

“And you, little fellow, hurry up and go back. Tonight won’t be peaceful.”

The surrounding disciples of the Homicide Department excitedly left. Only the youth stood on the spot and looked at the shadow of the heavenly saber that was slowly dissipating in the sky. His eyes revealed deep yearning.

“I wonder when I’ll be able to do the same.”

As he mumbled, the youth quickly left. Unknowingly, a seed of becoming an expert had been planted in his heart.
