The night sky was dark and deep. The moonlight was cold, and there was a light rain.
The bright moon hung high in the deep night sky like a silver plate. The cold moonlight fused into the drizzle, illuminating the port of the Seven Blood Eyes and flowing on the eaves outside the Knowing Dreams Restaurant.
The raindrops ford a line and the rain lines ford a curtain.
The moonlight couldn't dodge in ti, casting a blurry shadow.
It was like a painting of the night with moonlight and light rain.
On the street that was covered in rain, a figure in a gray Daoist robe was walking over step by step while holding a white oil-paper umbrella.
The face of the person under the umbrella couldn't be seen, but his slender body, tall and straight figure, and the aura he emitted when he walked over caused the rain to automatically turn into fog when it got close and brush past him.
It gushed into the ripples ford by the soles of his shoes.
On one side of the figure under the umbrella, in the darkness of the eaves on the street, there were two other people. One held an umbrella, while the other ignored the rain and quickly followed.
The person who ca was Xu Qing.
Under the eaves were the mute and Xu Xiaohui.
Although it was nightti now, to this bustling street, it was as though all the joy had just begun. The restaurants on both sides of the streets were filled with noises. Dishes were being served and cups exchanged, laughter rang out, sounds of welco and soft rejections could be heard from everywhere.
So luxurious stores even had many disciples with extraordinary auras guarding there like guards. Most of them were followers of important figures who were chatting and laughing in these stores.
The target Xu Qing was looking for was among them.
It was a skinny youth. He stood under the eave of the Knowing Dreams Restaurant and was originally chatting and laughing with a female disciple beside him. However, at the next instant, his expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at the streets.
Not only him, but all the stores on this street also fell silent at this mont.
Xu Qing didn't deliberately emit the power of his cultivation base. However, the murderous aura on his body and the energy fluctuations ford by his 65 magic apertures still caused everyone who sensed it to be shocked.
A large number of gazes stared at him from different angles.
Xu Qing's expression was as calm as ever as he walked step by step to the Knowing Dreams Restaurant.
A window on the second floor was pushed open and a large snake poked its head out and gurgled happily at Xu Qing. Xu Qing moved the umbrella away and looked at the large snake.
He smiled slightly.
Under the moonlight and the rain, the youth's smile for a mont caused the large snake's cries to pause.
It was as though its body had beco even softer. It instinctively wanted to crawl out and get closer but it was grabbed by the old man from Panquan Road who was behind her. He glared at Xu Qing with a vigilant expression.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the skinny youth who was trembling outside the Knowing Dreams Restaurant.
The youth's mind was shaking intensely. His breathing was hurried and he couldn't control his body from trembling. His eyes stung even more. The figure he saw was like a god, distorting the surrounding void.
It was as though the other party was a huge vortex that could instantly devour everything.
Fear and horror crazily surfaced in the youth's entire body. As his body trembled, every part in his body scread at him, telling him that he was in extre danger.
This was because not only did he see Xu Qing, but he also saw Xu Xiaohui, who had followed Xu Qing here!
He had seen Xu Xiaohui before. After killing that small fry, Zhou Qingpeng, three months ago, he sensed that soone was investigating this matter. Hence, he secretly looked into it and discovered Xu Xiaohui, who was at a loss and helpless, searching for clues like an injured deer.
He originally didn't care about such a fragile person who could be killed with a single slap. However, seeing Xu Xiaohui's weak appearance under such circumstances, he beca interested. Hence, he pretended to help. After playing with her for a period of ti, he got tired of her and didn't care anymore.
However, at this mont, his heart trembled.
He knew Xu Qing and knew that the other party's reputation was now illustrious and incomparable. Before he killed Zhou Qingpeng, he also knew that Xu Qing and Zhou Qingpeng were in the sa batch but only in the sa batch.
In the Seven Blood Eyes, being in the sa batch wasn't important. The competition was the sa as raising Gu, so how could there be friendship?
Even now, he felt that all of this wasn't real. He even felt that it might not be what he thought. Hence, when Xu Qing walked over, he suppressed his trembling and lowered his head to greet him.
"G-Greetings... Martial Uncle Xu."
"Is it him?" Xu Qing's gaze landed on the mute and Xu Xiaohui.
The mute nodded respectfully. Xu Xiaohui gritted her teeth and glared at the youth. The mont she read the jade slip earlier, she had realized that she had been too stupid. She nodded fiercely.
Seeing this, the mind of the skinny youth standing outside the Dream Recognition Building completely sank. He instinctively took a few steps back and spoke quickly.
"Master, save ..."
Almost as soon as his voice ca out, it stopped abruptly. A black iron stick appeared out of thin air beside Xu Qing and instantly pierced through his neck.
The power of lightning contained in it spread throughout his body through the puncture, causing the youth's soul to instantly dissipate. His body dried up and cracked.
The lightning attracted the lightning in the clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a bolt of heavenly lightning rumbled over from the sky and descended rapidly like a silver snake, landing on the skinny youth who had already beco a corpse.
The dry and cracked corpse turned into pieces of black dried at that emitted smoke and scattered on the ground before being extinguished by the rain.
This scene was too shocking, causing waves to surge in the minds of everyone who saw it.
None of them doubted that Foundation Building cultivators could kill Qi Condensation cultivators so cleanly and efficiently, but Xu Qing's attack was too astonishing. He actually lured the heavenly lightning. This was the reason why the minds of those who saw it shook.
The black iron stick instantly returned and quietly floated behind Xu Qing, lting into his shadow.
The more this was the case, the more the minds of those who saw it trembled.
The surroundings fell silent. Just as Xu Qing was about to leave, a surprised voice rang out from the second floor of the Knowing Dreams Restaurant.
"Aiya, Little Jianjian, the one who died was the follower you brought. He was asking you for help just now."
This voice belonged to the captain.
When Xu Qing saw the large snake and the old man from Panquan Road earlier, he had noticed two other auras in the private room. He was extrely familiar with one and wasn't unfamiliar with the other.
Xu Qing looked at the window of the private room.
In the private room, the First Peak's heaven's chosen, Wu Jianwu, glanced at the captain who had a spurious smile on his face. After a few breaths of silence, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve as he suddenly stood up. A ball of life fire fluctuations erupted from his body. His aura was like a rainbow, causing the surroundings to tremble.
"Wow~" The captain hurriedly cooperated and shouted.
Wu Jianwu felt that this person was a fool, and it would be too embarrassing for him to argue with a fool. Hence, he didn't even glance at the captain and walked toward the window with a gloomy expression.
After reaching the window, the power emitted by his cultivation base fluctuated violently. Amidst the lightning and thunder in the sky, large bronze swords actually appeared from the clouds and locked onto this place.
It was as though monstrous anger was brewing in Wu Jianwu's body and could erupt at any mont. An astonishing killing intent spread out from his body and finally fused into his eyes as he looked at Xu Qing.
"Why did you kill my follower!!"
He said this very proudly.
Coupled with the dignity emitted by his body and the gloomy expression on his face, he gave off the feeling of a heaven's chosen.
As he spoke, thunder rumbled in the sky and exploded in all directions. The bronze swords that ford emitted endless sharpness.
This scene caused the minds of everyone in the surrounding shops to shake.
They quickly started leaving. They had a strong premonition that... a huge battle would probably happen here.
After all, Xu Qing had killed the follower in front of the master. This matter was like slapping his face.
Moreover, the First Peak's cultivators cared a lot about their reputation and would definitely not let the matter rest.
The eyes of the large snake in the private room revealed a ferocious glint as it locked onto Wu Jianwu. It looked like it wanted to whip him but was held back by the old man.
The old man was overjoyed. He thought to himself, 'Xu Qing, oh Xu Qing, let's see what you do next. The First Peak is the most protective of their own. The eight senior brothers of Wu Jianwu love to fight in groups.'
At the sa ti, the minds of the mute and Xu Xiaohui shook.
The mute lifted his head. Even though his body was trembling under Wu Jianwu's pressure, he still revealed his sharp teeth and stared fixedly at the other party's neck.
As for Xu Xiaohui, she bit her lower lip and felt extrely anxious. She felt that she had implicated Xu Qing.
However... amidst the changes in everyone's emotions, only Xu Qing's expression was as calm as ever.
He looked at Wu Jianwu, who was standing beside the window. His gaze was cold and he didn't say a word. As he lifted his right hand, the black iron stick buzzed and rose from the shadow behind him.
At this mont, a long laugh ca out from Wu Jianwu.
He threw his head back and laughed loudly, nodding as he laughed. He even let out a voice of agreent. Moreover, his voice was very loud, as though he wanted everyone to hear him.
"I see. What you said makes sense. Since this matter is your private feud, I really shouldn't participate."
Xu Qing frowned but didn't speak.
"There's no need for wine, I understand this matter." Wu Jianwu laughed loudly.
"Haha, Brother Xu, you don't have to be like this. I really don't have ti in the near future. Forget it, forget it. I also admire your magnificent feat in the Sea Corpse Race. Alright, since you treat like this, I'm not a petty person. I'll pay the 100,000 spirit stones fine for killing this person!"
Ling'er's eyes widened. She looked at Wu Jianwu and then at the empty surroundings, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Yes, yes. Alright, let's et again when we have ti later. I'll take my leave first. I am glad to have t Brother Xu today."
Wu Jianwu spoke loudly and heartily. From the dignity at the start, he gradually beca joyful. Finally, a smile appeared on his face and he cupped his fists toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's expression was strange. From the start to the end, he didn't say a word.
Wu Jianwu quickly swept his gaze across Xu Qing's expression and his heart trembled. He hurriedly flicked his sleeve and maintained his laughter as he stepped out of the private room.
He flew toward the distant horizon against the lightning and rain.
His figure was like an immortal, like a beautiful painting that revealed an astonishing realm.
"I have transcended the mundane world, and beca an immortal by swallowing the sea of clouds."
As he moved forward, all the ancient bronze swords in the sky accompanied him in the surroundings. His voice also echoed in all directions as he walked further and further away.
